Chapter 656 The First Domestic 3G Baseband Chip (4K)

On March 3, the rain broke and the sky was fine.

Lu Fei's car with the "Beijing A54188" license plate parked at the door of the company. The moment he opened the door, Lu Huateng got out of the car.

I came all the way from Pengcheng to attend the Shenzhou press conference.

At the meeting, not only the new Shenzhou phone was announced, but also the official launch of WeChat.

"Just like I hand over the chip to Hu Yuhua, but I have to hand over the WeChat piece to you." Lu Fei and Lu Huateng shook hands.

"I thought so too. Originally, Xiaolong was arranged to come here, but you also know his character. He doesn't like going to work, he doesn't like meetings, and he doesn't like to show his face. In the end, he had to let me come."

Lu Huateng had a wry smile on his face.

"How about the trial run of WeChat in the past two months?"

Lu Fei handed over a cup of steaming tea soup.

"In the beginning, we could only chat with text, pictures, and text messages, which overlapped with QQ, Fetion, and text messages, so the number of users grew very slowly." Lu Huateng took a sip of tea, "Fortunately, 'drifting bottle' and 'shake one' were added later. "Shake", especially "walkie-talkie", that is, voice messages, the daily increase has suddenly increased from 200 to [-] to [-] to [-], and the total number of users now has more than [-] million."

"Then continue to focus on voice chat."

"We also think so. At the press conference, we will promote the world's first chat software that can 'press and talk'."

"What about the overseas version?

"It's called 'kakaotalk' in Southeast Asia, and we hand it over to Line to operate it. The European and American version is called 'Wechat'. It runs very smoothly, and it can cooperate with the announcement of logicX3 at any time."

Lu Huateng adjusted his glasses.

"Which version is Moments in? 1.1 or 1.2?"

"In the next version, version 1.1, as we planned before, we will upgrade WeChat to a 'mini-Weibo' for mature people to socialize, and then version 1.2 will be a video call..."

"Video calls are not in a hurry. 3G is just getting started. Users don't have much traffic. Operators still focus on ringtones, ringtones and calls. Data packages are not worth it at all."

Lu Fei suggested that version 1.2 should focus on QR codes.

"QR code?"

Lu Huateng was startled.

"Yes, scan the QR code to make friends, and you can use it for payment in the future, and pay by scanning the code."

Lu Fei held his mobile phone, performing and explaining.

1G to make calls, 2G to chat on QQ, 3G to scan WeChat, 4G to watch videos, and when 4G is reached, it will be the time when WeChat is commercialized, official account, game center, WeChat payment...

Listening to his every step of planning for WeChat, Lu Huateng's eyes lit up: "I'll get someone to register the WeChat Pay trademark right away?"

"It will be incorporated into the newly established 'Penguin Payment' just like Tenpay. At that time, like Tenpay, it will be able to launch functions such as Yu'ebao, living bill payment, and online wealth management."

Lu Fei refilled each other's cups.

Penguin Pay, WeChat Pay, and Tenpay account for at least 99% of the national market, not to mention 98%.

Whenever there is a steel coin on the Internet, it has to be surnamed Lu!
The two drank tea and chatted about the recent situation of the penguins.

Although dragged down by the subprime mortgage crisis, the market value has shrunk, the stock price has plummeted, and the Internet company with the world's fourth largest market value has slipped to the fifth, but there is also a lot of good news.

YouTube, which has been losing money for two years, has finally begun to turn losses into profits!
"Advertising revenue in the first quarter was US$12 billion, accounting for 12% of Penguin's total revenue. The Kardashian family, the Internet celebrities we have worked so hard to support, finally brought returns."

Lu Huateng's eyes were full of admiration.

After all, the internet celebrity MCN plan was decided by Master Lu!
"It's not enough, one batch is not enough, there must be a second batch, and a third batch, we need to support more oil pipe owners."

Lu Fei said what he had already considered in his heart.

"Reduce the advertising revenue to 3%?"

Lu Huateng was surprised. At present, YouTube’s share is to take 25% of advertising revenue to cover bandwidth and other costs. The remaining 75%, 6% is sold to YouTube owners, and 4% is reserved for YouTube.

A reduction of 1% is equivalent to a direct reduction of 2 million US dollars!

"Any questions?"

Lu Fei looked up into his eyes.

"From the perspective of the long-term development of the oil pipeline, there is no problem, but now is a special period, any troubles, the stock price may fall, and there is still a small hidden danger that must be dealt with right now."

"what?"

"World of Warcraft!"

Lu Huateng's tone was quite unhappy.

Blizzard is simply too arrogant, arrogant and arrogant.

Relying on the backing of Microsoft, and claiming that "World of Warcraft" is the best in the world, the new agency agreement is not only a big mouth, but also requires 50% of the share, and dares to intervene in the operation.

For example, the server should be replaced by the one designated by Blizzard!

"Has Blizzard swelled to this extent?"

Lu Fei squinted his eyes, how dare he not give me face?
"It's mainly different now. Blizzard used to rely on us to enter the Chinese market. Now Shanda and Wangyi are vying to get the agency of "World of Warcraft."

Lu Huateng was speechless for a while.

"What's your opinion?"

"I want to extend it for another year to see if the U.S. stock market will improve. If the contract expires at the end of the year and is not renewed, this juncture will easily allow the short-selling funds on Wall Street to take advantage of it. After all, the profits of "World of Warcraft" can be accounted for." 15% of our entire games business, they won’t miss this short opportunity.”

"Do you think Blizzard will be willing to sign a contract with us for only one year?" Lu Fei pondered for a moment, "In my opinion, when the contract expires, we should break up peacefully, so we can get together and break up."

"But currently there is no game that can fill the huge income gap of "World of Warcraft". CF can't, DNF can't, and stand-alone games such as "Hot-Blooded Rascal", "Minecraft", and "Plants vs. Zombies" can't do it, so it's hard to rely on LOL ?”

Lu Huateng frowned tightly.

"That's right, just rely on LOL!"

Lu Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, LOL has been free for 2 years, and the game skin has made money for 2 years, and it's time to restore blood to Penguin.

"I'm afraid that if the skin is released too frequently, players will have opinions."

Lu Huateng hesitated and still had concerns.

Players have opinions?

Is this still the Lu Huateng I know? !

Lu Fei smiled, "It's not easy! We will hold a global competition for LOL alone, and the champion team will get an exclusive skin specially designed by us. You said that with the champion skin, other skins are justified?"

The smirk on the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger, "Do you think players will complain about us, or be grateful to us?"

"That's right! Mr. Lu is right!"

Lu Huateng's eyes lit up instantly, "It may be too hasty to hold this year, or wait until next year to hold the first..."

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, just this year."

The reason why Lu Fei insists on this year is because the contract with Blizzard expires at the end of the year. This year, the first shot in the global competition will be fired first, so that more clubs can establish LOL divisions.

In order to have more teams, there will be more highlights.

"Okay, this year!"

Lu Huateng made it clear, "Anyway, we have held so many WCGs, and have accumulated enough experience in the planning of this kind of competition. I don't believe that we won't be able to hold a LOL competition in four or five months!"

The two of them discussed the LOL World Series with Zeng Liqing, Chen Yidan and others in [Antarctic Goose Cities] for a day.

The next day, the press conference was held at Shuimu University as scheduled.

Unlike the Xiaomi press conference, this time, both in terms of scale and number of people, it is not of the same order of magnitude at all.

After all, it was jointly initiated by Shenzhou, Pengpai and Penguin.

The media who missed the popularity of the Xiaomi press conference before will never let go of such a big hot spot this time, especially the official Weibo such as Pengpai and Penguin have 100% made it clear——

Lu Huateng will come!
Master Lu will come!

There was no need for travel expenses at all, and the media rushed to the venue in a mighty manner, with long guns and short guns, refusing to let go of any picture.

In the shot, Logic, Penguin, Feigou, Tianyu, Huawei, ZTE, HTC, Xiaomi, Samsung, etc. were all present.

Either come to cheer, or come to spy.

Just as he didn’t pay attention to Xiaomi, Ma Boxer also didn’t pay attention to Shenzhou. Nokia was directly absent, and he devoted himself to dealing with the problem of cross-selling of offline channels.

Lianxiang, on the other hand, was willing to respond internally.

Liu Chuanzhi sent Yang Yuanqing and others over.

"Damn it, the old man asked me to do this again!"

Yang Yuanqing was quite resentful in his heart, he suffered a second time at Yangtze River Storage last time, and he suffered another second time at Pengbai Technology last time.

Looking around, there are huge crowds of people.

Even the aisles are filled with plastic chairs brought in by students.

I saw the VIP seats in the front row, not only the three major operators of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, but even the leaders of relevant departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were all present, and the battle was unprecedented.

They were all deceived by Lu Fei's mysterious good news.

What a phone scam!

"Brother Lu!"

Li Xiangdong, who had already been promoted to the general manager of Telecom, was fluttering when he walked, his face was flushed, and he was proud of himself.

"Brother Li, congratulations."

Lu Fei shook hands with him warmly.

"Hey, TOEFL TOEFL, it's not thanks to Brother Lu, how else would I be able to get promoted so fast?"

Li Xiangdong cast a "you understand" look, "What is the good news you said on the phone before?"

"It can't be said now, it has to be announced at the press conference."

Lu Fei showed a mysterious smile.

Li Xiangdong felt itchy in his heart, "Brother Lu, look at you, I'm not asking for myself, I'm asking for the leaders, just reveal a little bit, it's okay, just for our relationship, you and I When it was said that Shenzhou wanted to cooperate with the 3G Tianyi contract machine, I immediately made a decision without frowning."

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a chip."

"Chip? What chip!"

"I can't say that. Anyway, I will give you a surprise later."

Lu Fei shook his head and laughed.

"No wonder the leader loves you so much, you, you, you can always come up with some new tricks."

Li Xiangdong couldn't laugh or cry.

After a while, with Wu Haijun's appearance on stage, the press conference officially began. The logos of Shenzhou, Penguin, and The Paper appeared on the projection screen, and the title was also very interesting——

Shenzhou is to go to heaven.

"Ha ha."

Yang Yuanqing snorted coldly when he thought of Lianxiang's defeat by Shenzhou and Tianyu's counterfeit machine-sea tactics.

Let's see how long you are arrogant!
The global mobile phone overlord Nokia is here!
Even if Shenzhou, Xiaomi, and Logic are tied together, the mobile phone shipments are not Nokia's opponents, and Nokia is not alone this time, with the Symbian Alliance and Lianxiang.

The foreigners didn't come, you bullied me.

Damn, foreigners are here, let me see how you bully me!
With murderous intent in his eyes, he stared fixedly at Lu Fei's back.

"Brother Lu, is your Penguin Wechat coming out this time?" Li Xiangdong poked Lu Fei with his arm.

Lu Fei didn't hide anything, and nodded.

"Brother Lu, don't you guys already have Fetion, why are you creating an upgraded version of WeChat?"

Li Xiangdong has also heard about the trial run of WeChat.

Just like traditional banks hate online payment, and offline stores hate e-commerce, the three major operators have a natural hatred for WeChat.

Once WeChat rises, it will inevitably affect voice, SMS, MMS, ring tones, and even roaming charges.

"Hey, Brother Li, that's not what you said when China Mobile and I created Fetion."

Lu Fei squinted with a playful look.

"Ahem, I'm not in my position, I'm not looking for a job. I'm in telecommunications now, not mobile. I have to think more about telecommunications."

Li Xiangdong said helplessly: "Brother Lu, now China Unicom has WCDMA and China Mobile has broadband. The competition is fierce."

"Brother Li, you are a fan of the authorities."

Lu Fei bluntly said that what operators lost in voice, SMS, and MMS services can all be recovered in traffic services, and they can earn more and have greater growth potential.

After all, it is impossible for users to call 24 hours a day.

However, traffic may be consumed 24 hours a day.

"What you said seems to make sense."

Li Xiangdong touched his chin.

"Brother Li, take a long-term view. 2G services such as voice and text messages are no longer incremental markets. They have reached their peak. Even 3G, 4G, and 5G have the upper limit. Telecom must pay close attention to transforming into data services. The more traffic you consume on WeChat and QQ, the more you will earn in the future.”

Lu Fei suggested that Telecom take the opportunity to launch data-based packages.

"According to what you say, we still have to thank WeChat?"

Li Xiangdong couldn't refute for a moment.

"You're welcome, this is what Penguin and I should do."

Lu Fei smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then saw Hu Yuhua walking over with an unopened envelope in his hand.

"Boss Lu, I'm going up."

"Go up, remember to be confident."

Lu Fei took the initiative to tear open the envelope and encouraged him a bit.

It took Huawei Hisilicon and Logic nearly two and a half years of hard work, invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and thousands of people, and finally created the baseband chip that Qualcomm and Intel only made.

The reason why the logic was not installed immediately is that apart from the baseband chip binding agreement with Qualcomm, although the Balong 1000 is comparable to Intel in terms of performance, energy consumption, and frequency band, it is still slightly inferior to Qualcomm, and has not passed the market test.

Shenzhou is the guinea pig of the first generation of Balong.

"As we all know, most of the Android smartphones on the market use Qualcomm's chips, like Xiaomi, Samsung, HTC, and even the "logic" that I regard as gods. If Shenzhou is like them, it is also looking for Qualcomm. , that's meaningless."

"At this moment, I just want to tell everyone——"

"hasee4 is different!"

"Let us invite Chairman Pagoda, Hu Yuhua, and Mr. Hu to reveal a different answer with warm applause."

Accompanied by Wu Haijun's voice, Hu Yuhua stepped onto the stage.

"Wow~"

"Kakkaka~"

Thunderous applause mixed with frantic photoshoots.

Seeing the flashing lights kept shining on her, Yang Yuanqing envied and hated, "Hmph, I want to see what tricks you guys are playing!"

"thanks, thanks."

Hu Yuhua waved to the audience, turned his head and made eye contact with Wu Haijun who retreated to the side, and immediately entered the state.

"Cough cough."

"As we all know, the core of a mobile phone chip has two parts, one is the application processor, including CPU, GPU, etc., and the other is the baseband processor, which is used to process various communication protocols such as GSM and 3G, and core units such as radio frequency..."

"Oh, what kind of chip is it?"

Li Xiangdong shook his leg.

"Brother Li, look at you, you are in a hurry."

Lu Fei smiled and made a "listen" gesture.

"As Mr. Wu said just now, most smartphones on the market use Qualcomm chips, including baseband chips."

"But Shenzhou is not!"

"The baseband chip used by Shenzhou is neither Qualcomm nor Intel, but the first domestic 3G baseband chip in China, which was jointly developed by Logic and Huawei, participated in the design by Pengpai, and produced by Fuxin. Its name is——"

"Balong 1000!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Fei saw a chip in Hu Yuhua's hand, shining brightly under the spotlight.
