Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Qiao Ruida cleared her throat and continued: "Where can you buy such a cheap smartphone? Of course it is Ruida Mall. After today's press conference, Xiaoda NOTE1 mobile phone will be sold for 999 yuan. It will be put on the shelves of Reda Mall for online sales. In addition, Xiaoda NOTE1 mobile phone will also be put on the shelves of Reda Home stores across the country today and tomorrow. The price is also 999. Everyone is welcome to choose the nearest Reda Home for trial. and purchase. This time, we have sufficient stocks of new mobile phones, probably more than 200 million units. And this time our organization’s production capacity is very strong, producing hundreds of thousands of Xiaoda mobile phones every day. So you don’t have to There’s a rush to buy it, it’s available to everyone.”

After two years of continuous development, Ruida Electronics Factory has doubled in size and number of employees. After continuous upgrading, the mobile phone production line has become more reasonable in structure and process, more intelligent, and production efficiency has been significantly improved. There is only one Ruida Electronics Factory now. If it is fully powered, it can produce more than 600,000 mobile phones per day and meet the market demand for Xiaoda mobile phones. There will be no big problem.

After talking about the purchase of Xiaoda's mobile phone, Qiao Ruida pressed the page turner in her hand, the light and shadow changed, and a silver ultra-thin laptop appeared on the projection screen.

"The second product to be released next is a notebook computer developed by our company Reda Technology. Its product code is MateBook14. The earliest notebook computer can be traced back to 1985, when the Japanese company Toshiba launched the T1000. It once brought people the concept of "laptop". After the new millennium, electronic technology developed rapidly, and integrated circuit design and production technology advanced by leaps and bounds. The laptops produced by various companies became thinner and lighter in appearance and more powerful in performance. A large number of classic products were born.

In recent years, various companies have been innovative in terms of notebook appearance, but they have been much more conservative in terms of hardware and operating systems. Most of the laptop products sold on the market use a combination of Intel's CPU + Microsoft Windows operating system. Even Apple, which is known for its innovation, produces laptops that also use Intel CPUs, but in terms of operating systems, in addition to the Windows system, there is an additional MacOS to choose from. In China, only the casing and brand of so-called domestic laptops are made in China. Their cores are exactly the same as laptops from foreign brands. They are also a combination of Intel CPU + Microsoft Windows operating system. Even non-core spare parts such as LCD screens, lithium batteries, and cameras may be imported. One can imagine how low the localization rate of these so-called domestic brands is.

Computers were invented by Chinese people, laptops were invented by Japanese people, CPUs were invented by British people, LCD screens were invented by Chinese people, Windows operating systems were invented by Chinese people, and mechanical hard drives were also invented by Chinese people. So during the development of computers, was there anything invented by the Chinese? The answer is yes, but there is only one, and that is the USB flash drive. It can be seen that our participation in the birth and evolution of computers in China was very low, and we mastered very, very few core technologies and core patents. "

Qiao Ruida's remarks caused a huge response at the press conference and in the online live broadcast room. This is not unknown, but it is shocking to see that in the field of smartphones and communications, China's participation is low enough. Many core technology and core patents are in the hands of foreign companies. If a Chinese company wants to develop a new mobile phone, it has to spend money to purchase patent licenses from foreign companies, or directly purchase their finished chips and complete solutions. Most of the profits are taken by these foreign giants. However, there are Huawei, Ruida, and other R&D laboratories in China that have made achievements in mobile phone processors, baseband chips, communication base stations, etc., and have also launched some high-quality and low-priced products.

In the field of desktop computers and notebook computers, the situation is even worse, and the participation of domestic manufacturers is very, very low. Those so-called domestic PCs and domestic laptops can only be regarded as assembled products. The internal CPU, memory, and hard disk are all imported products. The installed operating system is also Microsoft's Windows system. It is too reluctant to say that they are domestic products.

"Everything is afraid of being true. As classmate Qiao said, this domestic laptop computer and domestic PC are really incredible. From the core hardware to the operating system, they are all foreign products. Those so-called domestic computer manufacturers are just big companies. Just some computer assemblers."

"This is not the case when X wanted to make money and grow stronger by taking the 'trade, industry and technology' route. When the subsequent computer companies saw this situation, they simply followed suit, and they all learned to focus on marketing over marketing. R&D. After so many years, these computer companies have made a lot of money, but they have developed very few products, and they have no core technologies or core inventions at all."

"What does Mr. Qiao mean by these words? Does this MateBook 14 laptop from Reda Technology not use Intel's CPU but Microsoft's WINDOWS operating system?"

"No, the WINTER Alliance has dominated the field of notebook computers for more than ten years. Even Apple, which has always been maverick, had to compromise and launched notebook computers equipped with Intel CPUs. Reda Technology is a Chinese company that has just entered the field of notebook computers. , How can He Dehe break the monopoly and launch a laptop product that does not carry Intel CPU and does not use Microsoft WINDOWS operating system."

"Don't underestimate the ambition of our richest man, Qiao, nor the R&D capabilities of Reda Technology. Since they can independently develop a variety of mobile phone processors, they will work harder to develop a laptop with more powerful performance." The processor is not impossible. As for the operating system, it is easy to solve. There are almost no general-purpose operating systems that are completely self-developed in China, but there are still several operating systems based on Linux. However, the software ecology of these operating systems is very scarce. , many functions cannot be realized.”

"The Linux operating system also originated from abroad. It is just an open source system. Only then was it adopted by many domestic software manufacturers and rebranded to pass it off as a domestic operating system."

"Everyone is still too optimistic. 99% of the CPUs of laptops and desktop computers on the market are now designed based on the X86 architecture. Whether it is Microsoft's Windows system or the open source Linux system, they are all designed based on the X86 hardware platform. . And Ruida Technology is a Chinese company, so it is impossible to obtain the authorization for the X86 architecture. It is basically impossible to break through the blockade and develop its own CPU processor and operating system." (End of this chapter)
