The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

Chapter 370: 360: The cost is too high

September 2014, 4, China time.

A netizen named Wo Ai Xian Yu broke a shocking news on Weibo, which also caused discussions among countless netizens.

"I believe everyone should know that China Mobile launched the 4G network last month. Unfortunately, there has not been a single 4G phone on the market so far. Normally, businesses would launch 4G phones immediately after the 4G network goes online. Perhaps because the Deep Blue generation of phones is too powerful, many manufacturers are waiting for a powerful CPU, which has also led to the failure of 4G phones to keep up with the 4G network.

Just yesterday, Deep Blue Group launched a system update. I don’t know how many people noticed this update. This update not only made the system smoother, but Deep Blue Group also enabled a hidden function.

For some unknown reason, DeepBlue Group did not explain the update status in this update file, which also resulted in this hidden function not being disclosed in the update file.

I also discovered this hidden function by accident. This hidden function is the 4G network function. I saw this function in the system settings.

So yesterday afternoon I went to the mobile business hall to upgrade my phone package, upgrading the original 3G network package to a 4G network package.

After inserting the new 4G card into the phone, I found that the Deep Blue phone really supports 4G and the download speed is several times faster than the 3G network.

Friends who have purchased the third-generation Deep Blue mobile phone should upgrade their packages immediately. After the upgrade, you can enjoy China Mobile's 4G network."

Did Deep Blue forget to disclose this in the update file?

In fact, it was not that the Deep Blue staff forgot to disclose it, but that the Deep Blue staff did not write it in. This was done to give consumers a surprise. This was a marketing strategy thought up by the Deep Blue Electronics Sales Department.

Up to now, Han Chen still doesn't know about this. If Han Chen knew about this, he would definitely say that they were doing something unnecessary and that doing this was no different from farting with your buttocks lifted.

I don't know which idiot came up with this marketing strategy. It would have had the same effect if it was just put in the update. Why bother saying it through someone else's mouth? Wouldn't it be better for customers to see it more intuitively?

But one thing is certain, Lu Cailian, as the vice president of sales, definitely knows it.

As the post was forwarded, the matter quickly spread on the Internet and aroused heated discussions among countless netizens.

"Fuck, I didn't expect the third generation Deep Blue phone to be a 4G phone. Deep Blue hid it really well this time."

“其实3G网络和4G网络对我来说没有区别，因为4G网络的套餐实在是太贵了，4G网络最便宜的套餐都要129块，我0元无限流量的3G卡不香吗？”

"What the big brother above said is right, the cost of 4G network is really too expensive, but it is a surprise that it can support 4G, so I don't need to buy a 4G phone."

"The current 4G network is as expensive as the 3G network back then, so it doesn't matter if the phone supports 4G or not. It will take at least a year for the cost to be cheaper, and you can buy a new phone after a year."

"Regardless of whether 4G networks are expensive or not, DeepBlue's approach is quite generous. If it were any other mobile phone manufacturer, they would definitely not do this."

"I won't say any more. I'm using a 129G package for 3 yuan now. I'll go to the business hall and change it to a 4G network package later."

"I suggest the above user not to change for the time being. For the same 129 yuan package, 3G provides more data than 4G. Although the 4G network is much faster, the data provided is not enough. 129 only provides 5G of data, while the 3G network provides 20G of data."

"Let's wait until the price of 3G network drops."

"I wonder if Deep Blue already has 4G network technology. Otherwise, how could Deep Blue support 4G network?"

"The above commentator said that China Mobile had already announced the launch of 4G network last year, but the operating license of 4G network was only issued this year. It is estimated that chip manufacturers have already mastered 4G technology, but they have not integrated 4G function into their chips.

If they integrate 4G functions in advance, how much will they earn if you don’t change your phone? I guess only Deep Blue Group would be so conscientious.”

"Deep Blue's mobile phone is so expensive. If Deep Blue is a little less conscientious, who would buy Deep Blue's mobile phone in the future?"

"You can all afford Deep Blue phones, but why can't you even afford 4G network?"

"That's because you don't know how much data we use every day. Data charges are much more expensive than mobile phones."

The fact is just as netizens have said, although the 4G network has been officially launched, not many people actually use 4G, and most people still prefer to use 3G.

There is no way around it. Most people's income is between 3000 and 5000 yuan, and people will not spend a penny more where they should save money.

A hundred or so yuan a month for phone bills may not seem like much, but if you can save that amount, you can eat better this month, or use the money to make other videos.

In short, most people will not spend a penny more on phone bills.

September 2014, 5, China time.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

With the update of users, the installed base of Pangu system has reached 8 million. Of course, this 8 million is not just for mobile phones, but also includes smart TVs, tablets, TV boxes and tablets.

Because Deep Blue has not announced the Pangu system to the public, and the Pangu system encryption cannot be cracked, everyone still thinks that Deep Blue is an Android system.

Little did they know that they are now using the Pangu system, which was independently developed by Mr. Ni.

The fluency of Pangu system also divides Android phones into two types, one is other phones and the other is deep blue phones.

In the past month, the sales department of Deep Blue Wafer Factory has been overwhelmed with orders. Except for the production capacity used by Deep Blue itself, basically all of it has been sold out. The orders of Deep Blue Wafer Factory are scheduled until June of next year.

NVIDIA, MediaTek, AMD, Qualcomm, Infineon, and Fairchild Semiconductor all came to Deep Blue to find foundry services.

According to the existing order schedule, Deep Blue Foundry's revenue in 2014 will reach 1800 billion RMB.

The estimated net profit reached about 1000 billion RMB.

As all major manufacturers are holding back on big moves, no manufacturer has launched a new mobile phone this year, and the high-end market is basically monopolized by Deep Blue.

In the past month, Han Chen has been working on extracting lithium from seawater.

With the assistance of Chang Huazhang, Han Chen found a factory that could produce equipment for extracting lithium from seawater, and placed a 120 billion yuan equipment order with the factory. In addition, Han Chen also obtained a membrane that could absorb and filter lithium elements.

Now we just need to wait for approval from higher authorities and the selection of a factory site before we can build a desalination plant.

As for the issue of shareholding, Han Chen reached an agreement with China Development Bank. China Development Bank invested 120 billion yuan to acquire shares in the seawater lithium extraction company, and the remaining 160 billion yuan was to be invested by Han Chen.

The two parties hold 40% and 60% of the shares respectively, with the controlling rights being in the hands of DeepBlue Group.

Deep Blue Group Headquarters in Deep Blue Industrial Park.

The bet between Nantian Entrepreneurship Park and its superiors was completed last month. The land of Nantian Entrepreneurship Park now completely belongs to Deep Blue Group, so Han Chen changed the name of Nantian Entrepreneurship Park to Deep Blue Industrial Park.

Han Chen just received an email from Su Ma, saying that the 14nm X86 server CPU has been produced. This CPU has 32 physical cores, the CPU base clock frequency is 2.7GHz, the maximum acceleration clock frequency reaches 3.2G, has 2GB of L1024 cache, supports up to 8GB of memory, supports up to U parallel operation on a single machine, and adds Deep Blue's self-developed VT instruction set.

The only drawback of this CPU is that its power consumption reaches 250W.

Su Ma named this CPU Xiaolong 132, and there are Xiaolong 116 and Xiaolong 108 below it. I believe everyone has guessed that 16 represents 16 cores and 08 represents 8 cores.

The power consumption of Xiaolong 116 is 145 watts, and the power consumption of Xiaolong 108 is 95 watts.

The single-core performance of Xiaolong 108 is 5 times that of Intel Xeon E2699-3 v1.9, and the multi-core performance is 5 times that of Intel Xeon E2699-3 v2.

The single-core performance of Xiaolong 116 is 5 times that of Intel Xeon E2699-3 v2.2, and the multi-core performance is 5 times that of Intel Xeon E2699-3 v4.5.

The single-core performance of Xiaolong 132 is 5 times that of Intel Xeon E2699-3 v2.7, and the multi-core performance is 5 times that of Intel Xeon E2699-3 v9.

Intel XeonE5-2699v3官方标价为4115美元约合人民币2.5万元。

韩琛打算将宵龙108的价格定为2万，宵龙116的价格则是定在3.5万，最强悍的宵龙132定在5万。

"Ling~Ling~Ling"

"Brother Shen, has it been approved by the higher-ups?" Han Chen asked after answering the phone.

"Yes, Brother Han, we are looking for a suitable location to build the factory." Shen Chengjun replied.

"Then let me thank you, brother." Han Chen said with a smile.

"If you really want to thank me, please treat me to a meal some other day." Shen Chengjun said.

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's have tonight. I'll let you know when I choose a place." Han Chen said.

"No problem." Shen Chengjun replied.

After hanging up the phone with Shen Chengjun, Han Chen sent a message to Tan Tai Lingling asking her to get the new server ready as soon as possible.

Han Chen plans to get the servers needed by DeepBlue Cloud and then sell new servers to the outside world.

As for the 14nm desktop CPU, it is estimated to be completed by the end of this month, and the 14nm ARM chip is also expected to be completed by the end of this month.

After sending the message, Han Chen felt a little bored so he went online to see if there was anything special to eat today.

At this moment, the door light came on. Han Chen pressed the door light and the door was pushed open. The person who came was none other than Old Monster Xu, whom he had not seen for two years.

Xu Ke started filming The Legend of Zu in early 2012, and it took him two years to shoot. Fortunately, Xu Ke was not like Cameron, who would get investors every time he made a movie, otherwise Han Chen would definitely think that Xu Ke was asking him for money.

After not seeing Xu for two years, he looks much thinner.

"Mr. Han." Old Monster Xu greeted him as he walked in.

"Director Xu, has the filming of The Legend of Zu been completed?" Han Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, the first part has been filmed and the post-production has also been completed. The first part cost a total of 3.7 million RMB, of which 1.4 million was the actors' pay and the remaining 2.3 million was all filming costs. This time we went to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Jiuzhaigou, Qinghai Lake, and Zhangjiajie," Old Monster Xu began to introduce.

This time they went to more than a dozen places to shoot, and most of the scenes were shot in real scenes. Of course, it is impossible to rely solely on real scenes. After all, the fairyland cannot be compared with real scenes. In the later stage, they will add some special effects to beautify the real scenes.

In addition to the high cost of location shooting, costumes and props also cost a lot, according to Xu Laoguai's report.

They spent almost 9000 million RMB on costumes and props, and they also invested 3000 million RMB in real-life buildings.

This investment is definitely the largest in terms of costumes and props among all the costume dramas so far.

These costumes and props can be used in the next two films, so the subsequent expenditure on costumes will be much less.

While Xu Laoguai was introducing the film, Han Chen projected the film onto the large TV in the office.

The film opens with a scene between clouds and the starry sky.

"This picture was taken by us using a drone. These white clouds are all real scenes, including the galaxy. It took us a lot of time to shoot this scene." Xu Laoguai introduced.

If it weren't for Old Monster Xu introducing Han Chen, I would have thought this scene was post-produced.

The scene then switched to the top of a mountain in the sea of ​​clouds, with many floating islands appearing in the picture. Some of the floating islands had buildings, and flying monks with swords were shuttling between the mountains.

"This scene was shot on location in Zhangjiajie. The floating island was made based on the real scene. Those flying with swords are real people, but they were synthesized in." said Xu Laoguai.

"Director Xu is awesome. Even the Truck Driver's Avatar can't compare to this movie." Han Chen said, raising his thumb.

The effect of this real scene plus post-production shooting is many times better than Avatar. The brightness and clarity of the picture are also better than Avatar, especially the details are simply incomparable to Avatar.

"Mr. Han, we can produce such an effect thanks to the Magic Eye Engine. If it weren't for the Magic Eye Engine, we wouldn't be able to produce such an effect." said Old Monster Xu.

Three hours passed in a flash.

Because the film is long enough, the plot is well presented. This Legend of Zu is no longer like the first Legend of Zu, which makes people confused and unable to understand what it means.

The acting skills of every actor in the film are excellent. The acting skills of these Hong Kong actors are really not exaggerated. Even Gulina and Xu Ke are well trained. There is nothing in all the clips that can be complained about.

The costumes inside are extremely exquisite. No wonder Xu Ke spent more than 9000 million on it. It is no exaggeration to say that it is great value for money.

"Director Xu, when do you plan to release the film?" Han Chen asked.

"I have discussed with Mr. Qiu and plan to release the film on June 6 as a Children's Day gift for all those born in the 1s and 70s," said Xu Laoguai.

"This time is very good." Han Chen nodded with satisfaction.

The two chatted for nearly half an hour before Old Man Xu left. He had been away from home for almost two years, and he wanted to take this opportunity to go back to Hong Kong Island with his wife to see his son and granddaughter.

After "Shu Shan" is released, they will start filming the second part. Since they have already done a good job this time, the shooting time will not take so long next time.
