The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

LeTV headquarters building in Beijing.

Accountant Jia heard the discussion between two employees when he went to his office.

"Xiao Zhou, have you heard? Now all domestic home appliance brands have cooperated with Deep Blue. Domestic brands have launched their own smart TVs. Now there are so many brands selling Deep Blue smart TVs. Do you think our smart TVs can be sold? Can you beat Deep Blue Film and Television?”

"You said that everyone is helping Deep Blue sell. Do you think we can outsell Deep Blue? Besides, our TVs are not as good as Deep Blue. Not to mention that the response speed is not as fast as Deep Blue. After using the Windows system for a long time, it will definitely deteriorate. It’s so stuck, users will definitely complain about our TV in a year’s time.”

"The Windows system does have this problem. After using it for a long time, it will basically get stuck, but as long as the system is reinstalled, it will be fine."

"Do you think users will reinstall the system? Besides, if the user reinstalls it themselves, the LeTV TV application will be gone after the reinstallation. It will still cost us money for after-sales maintenance. Do you think users will still be cheated once?" Will you buy LeTV TV?
Moreover, the Windows system is very easy to be poisoned. Once it is poisoned, it is really over. "

"I heard that our company still sells its TVs at a loss. I don't know if this is true."

"It's true from a cost perspective."

When Accountant Jia returned to the office, his face became very ugly.

The cooperation between major domestic TV brands and LeTV is undoubtedly a fatal blow, which means that Deep Blue Film and Television's market share will increase. As time goes by, LeTV's share of 1% is already very good.

Accountant Jia picked up the phone receiver and called Nie Wusheng, asking him to come to his office immediately.

"Mr. Jia, what do you want from me?" Nie Wusheng asked after sitting down.

"How do you solve the problem of the Windows system getting stuck after using it for a long time? What should users do if the TV gets stuck after they buy it and use it for a long time?" Accountant Jia asked.

"Mr. Jia, Windows will always freeze in the future. That is due to system fragmentation. Too much software will cause fragmentation. Our TV only starts our LeTV software, and it will not freeze no matter how long the user uses it." Nie Wusheng replied road.

"The Windows system is easy to be infected. What should I do if it is infected?" Accountant Jia asked again.

"As long as the user does not insert the virus-laden USB disk into the TV, our TV will not be poisoned under normal circumstances." Nie Wusheng replied.

Because Accountant Jia didn't understand computers, he could only follow others' opinions and asked Nie Wusheng to ask these questions.

"Except for the Intel platform, are other platforms really unusable?" Accountant Jia asked again.

Accountant Jia was jealous when he saw DeepBlue cooperating with a domestic TV brand. However, Intel's platform was too expensive. You must know that he still sold at a loss to reach the price of 3599.

The problem is that other manufacturers can still make money by using DeepBlue’s platform to sell products for 3599. If they are asked to cooperate with other brands of TVs, how can other brands cooperate with LeTV? We can’t let other TV brands lose money along with them. .

Of course, LeTV can also subsidize home appliance manufacturers to cooperate with home appliance manufacturers, but if it really wants to cooperate with other brands in this way, LeTV will have to subsidize at least 800 yuan for a TV.

He can accept a loss of 400 yuan for a LeTV TV, but he can't accept a loss of 800 yuan. This loss has exceeded the limit they can bear.

"Mr. Jia, except for Deep Blue and Intel, no platform can hard decode 1080P videos. Unless the chip manufacturer adds hard decoding function in the next generation of products, judging from the current situation, we can only choose Intel's platform.

I also know that Intel's platform is expensive, but there is nothing we can do about it unless we develop our own CPU, or cooperate with other companies and let other companies develop CPUs for us. "Nie Wusheng said.

"Is it expensive to independently develop a CPU?" Accountant Jia asked.

"ARM's architecture and core can be licensed externally. We can purchase their license from ARM. Qualcomm's S3 chip uses the public version architecture. In theory, the performance of Qualcomm S3 is sufficient. As long as we add Deep Blue's instruction set Go in, so we have our own CPU.

Deep Blue's hard-coded instruction set is open to the public, and they only charge a licensing fee of US$1 for each chip. "Nie Wusheng said.

"How long does it take from R&D to implementation? Can I outsource the chip design to ARM?" Accountant Jia said.

"ARM has the business of undertaking chip design. Our requirements are not very high. It is expected to be completed within one month. Production depends on the manufacturer." Nie Wusheng replied.

"When you go back, contact ARM immediately and figure things out as soon as possible." Accountant Jia said.

"Okay, Mr. Jia, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first," Nie Wusheng said.

"Yeah." Accountant Jia nodded.

September 2011, 1, China time.

There are still two days left before the Chinese New Year, and all the staff working in other places have already gone home for the holidays. Like other companies, most of the employees of Shenlan Group have already gone home for the holidays, except for local employees who need to be on duty.

In the past period of time, the mobile phone market is still in full swing. In order to grab more market share, mobile phone manufacturers are also crazy about advertising in various media.

Smartphones have also accelerated their popularity due to the craziness of these manufacturers.

Although mobile phone manufacturers have purchased chips from Deep Blue Semiconductor, there is no way to launch new mobile phones near the New Year, because the workers in the foundries need to go back to celebrate the New Year, so their new mobile phones can only be launched on the market after the New Year. .

The software market has also seen the emergence of various instant messaging software due to the accelerated popularity of smartphones.

Gulina and Yin Ruoyue returned to Shenzhen City around the 10th. Gulina stayed in Shenzhen City for about 10 days before returning to Xinjiang. Kong Huimin also returned to her hometown for the New Year two days ago. Only Han Chen and Ouyang were left in Shenzhen City. Sancai is alone.

Taihe Garden Villa in Shenzhen.

In the room, Ouyang Sancai was sleeping on Han Chen's chest.

At this time, Han Chen's cell phone placed on the table rang, and Han Chen was also woken up by the ringtone of the cell phone.

[Caller: Yin Ruoyue]

"Yueyue, why are you calling me so early?" Han Chen asked after answering the phone.

"It's already 11:30 noon, why don't you get up yet, you lazy pig?" Yin Ruoyue said.

"Isn't it normal to rest and sleep late?" Han Chen said.

"Uncle Wu from the People's Bank of China came to our house this morning. He said that Deep Blue Payment is doing very well. The People's Bank of China plans to invest in Deep Blue Payment after the year. He hopes that you can arrange a time to come to the capital to discuss this matter after the year." Yin Ruoyue said. "I'll go to the capital after the Lantern Festival. I'll tell you the specific time after I confirm it." Han Chen said.

"Well, tell me when you decide the time. I won't tell you that I'm going to spend time with my family. Just remember to miss me." Yin Ruoyue said with a smile.

"I miss you every day." Han Chen smiled.

It was 2011:2 pm on February 17, , China time.

Office of Deep Blue President, Nantian Pioneer Park.

"Honey, the new mobile phone launched by Shanxing this time is obviously aimed at us. Do you think we should do some discounts to deal with it?" Kong Huimin asked, holding her chin in her hands and looking at Han Chen like a little girl.

Just this morning, Xing held a new mobile phone launch conference in Bangzi. The mobile phone released by Shanxing this time is Shanxing note1. The screen size of this mobile phone has reached 6 inches for the first time. The screen uses Shanxing's 5.5-inch super amoled screen and the CPU They did not use their own CPU, but Qualcomm's Snapdragon S3 CPU.

In terms of memory, Shanxing directly uses the latest 2GB and LPDDR3 memory, and the storage memory is NADA memory starting at 16GB. In terms of battery, Shanxing directly increases the battery capacity to 3500 mAh.

This generation of note 1 is the same as the previous generation note 1. Shanxing is equipped with a capacitive pen.

The front camera and rear main camera use dark blue cameras. In addition to the 800W macro independently developed by Shanxing, Shanxing also uses a dark blue periscope camera on the rear.

In addition, Shanxing also uses wireless charging and 50-watt fast charging technology.

The price of this phone in China is 4999 US dollars, and in Europe and the United States, the price is set at 799 US dollars. This time, Shanxing is obviously targeting Deep Blue.

"Their CPU and system are not as good as ours, so you don't have to worry too much. Besides, it is very stupid to start a price war. Shanxing has inherent advantages that we can't match. Our chips are all produced by them, and their prices are much lower than ours.

If we start a price war with them, we will definitely not be able to beat them. Besides, the global mobile phone market is so big, we cannot capture the entire market. "Han Chen said.

"Okay." Kong Huimin said.

When Han Chen said this, she didn't say anything more. She was just worried that Shanxing would take away Deep Blue's market. However, she didn't know that Shanxing was just the beginning, and many manufacturers would emerge in the future.

As a time traveler, Han Chen was confident of winning in this melee.

2011:2 noon on February 17, 12, China time.

DEEP BLUE VENTURES LIMITED.

Because Han Chen had an appointment with Wu Daguo and Sun Guizhou to meet in the afternoon, Han Chen first came to Deep Blue Capital after coming to the capital.

The general manager's office has a quiet atmosphere. The silver-white walls reflect the gentle sunlight outside the window, and the entire space seems to be enveloped in a hazy layer of light and shadow.

A set of elegant and simple purple sand tea sets are placed on the marble tea table. The fragrance in the teapot exudes a refreshing atmosphere.

The tender green tea soup in the teacup is rippling gently, seeming to be telling people soft emotions. Han Chen, Lin Guangtao and Changsun Chuanfu sat quietly at the tea table. Under the soft fragrance of tea, their expressions were even more calm and clear.

"Old Lin, how is the operation of Dongfeng Station?" Han Chen asked after picking up the tea cup and taking a sip.

"Mr. Han, Dongfeng Station is developing very smoothly. There are currently 5000 stations across the country, and it is expected to develop to at least 15000 stations this year. Since Dongfeng Station went online, the work efficiency of major logistics companies has increased by at least 5 times. We It has also recently successfully invested in major logistics companies.

We currently hold 15% of Sitong Yida's shares. In addition, we also hold shares in many companies.

The capital market has set a valuation of 50 billion for Dongfeng Station. A lot of capital has come to Dongfeng Station to invest in Dongfeng Station, but the price is too low and I have suppressed it. Lin Guangtao replied.

"Don't allow European and American capital to invest in the company, even if you have a foreign background. We only accept domestic capital to invest in the company," Han Chen said.

"I understand, Mr. Han." Lin Guangtao replied.

"Which one of you two is free recently?" Han Chen asked.

"Brother Chen, do you have any work arrangements again?" Changsun Chuanfu asked.

"I need you to go to Wanwan to acquire a company." Han Chen said.

"Mr. Han, I have a lot of work on my hands recently. Let Chuanfu handle this matter," Lin Guangtao said.

"Chuanfu, I want you to go and negotiate with VIA. I want to acquire one of their subsidiaries." Han Chen said.

"No problem, just send me the relevant information and I'll go there after I've done the investigation." Changsun Chuanfu said.

What Han Chen wants to acquire is S3 Graphics, a subsidiary of VIA. Many people don’t know S3 Graphics. In fact, this company is quite awesome.

Today's graphics card industry is dominated by NVIDIA and AMD. When it comes to S3 Graphics, many newcomers may not understand it at all, but for older DIY players, S3 is still an indelible memory. In the 2D era, S3 was the undisputed graphics card overlord at the time. Trio64v+ and trio64v2 made S3 an unprecedented success and paved the way for the first attempt in the 3D field.

在那个年代S3占据了90%的市场份额，随后S3公司推出的第一代“3D加速卡芯片”的代表作S3 Virge也给不少玩家留下了颇深的印象，S3创造了显卡史上一次又一次的辉煌。

There are two reasons why Han Chen wants to acquire S3 Graphics. The first reason is that S3 Graphics lost $900 million last year. VIA is planning to sell S3 Graphics. Following the trajectory of its previous life, HTC acquired S3 Graphics for $3 million. There has never been a better time to acquire S3 Graphics.

The second reason is that the Magic Eye engine will be completed in another half a year. After the Magic Eye engine is completed, Han Chen will produce his own graphics card. S3 Graphics is undoubtedly the best choice for Deep Blue Group.

Now that S3 Graphics has also declined, if Han Chen acquires S3 Graphics, I believe the United States will not refuse.

What's more, S3 Graphics is still a loss-making company. I believe that WTI, the investor who holds S3, will not refuse this business, and will try its best to facilitate this business. After all, a loss-making company is a burden to them.

"The company I want to acquire is S3 Graphics, a subsidiary of VIA. This company is an American chip research and development company. You must pay attention to patents when negotiating the acquisition. You must keep all the patents of S3 Graphics. Don't buy them for me. A useless shell company is back," Han Chen said.

"Brother Chen, don't worry when I do things." Changsun Chuanfu said, patting his chest. (End of chapter)
