"Hey, isn't this the new richest man Qiao Ruida? I saw you on CCTV's dialogue column. I didn't expect you to be a graduate of our Peking University. This beautiful school girl is Qiao's girlfriend. What's the name of the program we were on together? Come on, I can't remember it for a while." Li Guoqing, who was sitting across the dining table, looked at Qiao Ruida carefully and said suddenly.

"Senior, you are right. I am Qiao Ruida, and this is my girlfriend Du Qingqing. We are in our junior year at Peking University this year and have not graduated yet."

Among the Peking University seniors sitting here, Qiao Ruida only knew Robin Li and Yu Minhong. He did not know the Li Guoqing who was speaking, so he could only refer to him as the senior.

"I didn't expect that you are still students at school, and you are younger than I thought. It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Old guys like us will be eliminated by the times!"

"Brothers and sisters, let's get to know each other. I'm Robin Li, the founder of Baidu. You should have heard of it!" Robin Li, who was sitting not far away, stood up, stretched out his hand, and shook Qiao Ruida's hand.

"Of course I know Senior Li. When I was in middle school and just came into contact with the Internet, I heard your legendary story, but I never had the opportunity to meet him. I didn't expect to meet Senior Li at today's dinner. It's really a pleasure to meet you. meeting!"

Robin Li and Li Guoqing were the first people to invest and start businesses in the Internet field in China. They were the founders of China Internet and made indelible contributions to the development and popularization of the Internet in China. Don’t forget the well-diggers when drinking water. Qiao Ruida still admires and respects these senior Internet entrepreneurs.

Next, Robin Li and Xu Xiaoping introduced the Peking University alumni sitting here to Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing one by one. Thanks to Qiao Ruida's new status as the richest man in the country, these seniors did not look down on him because of his young age. Everyone greeted each other, exchanged pleasantries, and then sat down to chat while eating food and drinking.

Most of the people sitting here are senior people in the Internet field, and the chat topics always revolve around the Internet. After changing several topics, we suddenly talked about mobile Internet.

"I heard that 4G licenses will be issued at the end of this year. I don't know how much faster this 4G mobile network is than 3G. Can the usage cost be reduced?" Li Guoqing was the first to stir up the topic and said with some expectation.

Mil Liqun, a Peking University alumnus who works in technology at China Unicom, said: "We at China Unicom are conducting 4G mobile network testing, and both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE base station equipment have been installed. Judging from the current test data , the downlink rate of the 4G network can reach 100Mbps ~ 150Mbps, which is 3 to 20 times faster than 30G, and the upload speed can also reach 20Mbps ~ 40Mbps. This rate can meet the requirements of almost all users for wireless services. Someone once compared 3G like this Compared with 4G network speed, 3G network speed is equivalent to highway speed, and 4G network speed is equivalent to maglev. In terms of usage costs, in the initial stage of 4G promotion, it will definitely not decrease too much. After all, all mobile phone base stations in the country must be replaced. In this early stage, The investment is really too high. After four or five years, when 4G mobile networks are fully popularized, traffic costs will be reduced a lot. By then, it will not be a problem to turn on the traffic to watch live broadcasts, catch up on dramas, and play games." "Look at it this way Come on, mobile networks have great prospects, and the future is promising. We at Baidu will also increase investment in the field of mobile APPs. However, the performance of current smartphones is too poor, and high-definition videos will freeze when playing them. There is really room for improvement. It's limited." Robin Li put down the goblet in his hand and said with regret.

"As for the performance of smartphones, Mr. Li, you don't have to worry at all. Our Reda Technology Company has business in chip design and mobile phone R&D and production. According to my speculation, the next few years will be a period of rapid development of smartphones. Mobile phones There will be a very rapid iteration of performance and form. It is conservatively estimated that the performance of smartphones can easily double a year, and the memory and storage scale will also continue to increase. Now it seems that performance is very important, and only flagship phones Large-scale mobile games that can barely run will become small games after one or two years, which can be played on a mobile phone." Qiao Ruida raised his head from a pile of delicious food and expressed his opinion.

"I almost forgot, Qiao's Reda Technology Company is still the leader in the field of domestic smartphones. In our China Unicom business hall, many of the contract phones sold are Reda brand. Qiao, China Unicom's 4G mobile phones at the end of the year The card is about to be released. When will the 4G mobile phone of your Reda Technology be released?" It was only at this moment that Mi Liqun remembered that his company had commercial cooperation with this awesome junior. After all, Qiao Ruida became the richest man by relying on the listed company Reda Network. As for the other company he founded, Reda Technology, it is much less famous, not even as famous as Reda Mobile Phone, which is more famous.

"In some time, our Ruida Technology will release a Xiaoda mobile phone, equipped with a self-developed 4G baseband, priced at around a thousand yuan, which should be just in time to catch up with the 4G replacement boom at the end of the year." Qiao Ruida said a spoonful of expensive I swallowed the sturgeon caviar and replied casually. Xiaoda's mobile phone has been finalized and mass-produced and will be released soon. Qiao Ruida doesn't mind revealing some information to these seniors.

"Oh, a 4G smartphone priced at yuan has never happened before at home or abroad, right? If you sell it so cheaply, won't you lose money?" Xing Siyu, a senior who works in an investment company, asked curiously.

"Yes, it is an exaggeration to lower the price of an advanced gadget like a smartphone to less than two thousand yuan. Now listen to what Xue Di Qiao means. This is to lower the price of domestic smartphones to less than a thousand yuan. This Can you really make money?" Xu Xiaoping asked this question after running investment funds for many years and having some knowledge of the mobile phone field.

"I invested in a chip fab in my hometown of Decheng City. Now the first phase of the project has been completed and put into production. Mobile phone processors, baseband chips, memory chips, and storage chips can all be produced and sold by ourselves, which can significantly reduce the price. The production cost of mobile phones. Therefore, it is still profitable to produce and sell this Xiaoda mobile phone."

What Qiao Ruida mentioned is the cost of mobile phone hardware and how to reduce it. As for the pre-installed software on mobile phones, built-in system advertisements, membership value-added services, and other additional money-making projects, these are all business secrets and it is not convenient to talk about them in public. .

Hearing Qiao Ruida's words, all the senior students sitting here were shocked. You must know that wafer foundries are typical capital-intensive and technology-intensive enterprises. Without tens of billions of investments, they cannot be opened at all. (End of chapter)
