Chapter 399 Android skin? Leading Android! (asking for monthly votes)

This type of large-scale somatosensory game has extremely high hardware requirements, and all current TVs from competing companies are unable to support it.

Moreover, the fitness ring and strap are developed based on the Xingyi TV. Even if other brands of TVs are configured later, they will not be compatible with the fitness set.

Therefore, if users want to experience "Ring Fit Adventure", they can only choose Xingyi TV.

This will become a unique core competitive advantage of Xingyi TV.

Just like if you want to play "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", you can only buy a switch.

Exclusive games are a major competitive advantage.

If Wang Yi wants to promote it to other brands on a large scale, he has to develop a professional game console.

Wang Yi made the final decision: "The development of the game will be handed over to the Xingyi Game team, but the development of the game controller, fitness ring, and fixed belt will be handed over to Xingyi Smart Home. I will send you the specific design plan by email."

"Okay, Chairman, I will set up a team right away and connect with Xingyi Games to start research and development as soon as possible." Meng Qingzhen responded.

Wang Yi nodded and continued, "We also need to develop the smart soundbar. Once it's developed, we'll hand it over to Goertek for OEM and release it in January next year to create a smart home theater for high-end users!"

Afterwards, Wang Yi and the CTO discussed some technical details before adjourning the meeting.

Everyone left, but Wang Yi fell into deep thought, wondering whether he should make the Switch?
The configuration of Xingyi TV is very high, so playing games is not a problem, but the storage space is limited.

With 8G storage, a lot of it is taken up by the system and software, and the remaining space is limited, so you can't install even a few games.

It can be said that Xingyi TV is suitable for light game users.

For moderate and heavy game users who want a better experience, they have to choose the Xingyi game console!

These days, PS3 and Xbox 360 have been released in the console field, and PS4 and Xbox One will be released next year.

As for the Switch, it was released in 2017.

If Xingyi Technology makes game consoles at this time, it will definitely not be able to compete with Sony and Microsoft.

After all, the most important thing about a game console is not just the hardware, but also the 3A games.

The hardware is easy to get, but the games are very difficult and require time to accumulate.

Without enough exclusive high-quality games and 3A games, the Xingyi game console will not sell well.

As for the handheld game console field...since the past few years, the market for handheld game consoles has begun to decline significantly, and Sony has even given up on the handheld game console field.

The handheld game console market is declining, and Wang Yi cannot compete with Microsoft and Sony in the console market. Therefore, the only way out for Wang Yi is the switch mode, which integrates handheld game consoles and consoles, and allows one machine to serve two purposes!
In this way, at home, by connecting to a TV or monitor, it becomes a host and you can enjoy the big-screen experience.

When you are outside, you can hold it in your hand and play as you like.

There is naturally no problem in overtaking on such a curve.

Switch succeeded because of this.

Everyone knows that the configuration of Switch is far inferior to PS5 and Xbox, the games are not as fun as PS5's 3A, and not as cheap as XBOX membership, but people still buy it.

why?
This is because PS5 and Xbox can only be played at home, while Switch can not only be played at home, but also outside.

Whether you are on a business trip, in a car, traveling, having a family gathering, etc., you can take out your switch and play a game as you please.

This advantage is unmatched by Sony and Microsoft.

More importantly, in 2012, Nintendo just came up with the idea of ​​integrating consoles and handheld game consoles, but it was not until 2017 that the Switch was launched.

So if Wang Yi starts planning now and releases the two-in-one Switch, a handheld game console, in 2013 or 2014, and then develops accessories such as fitness rings and straps, he will be invincible.

These two years are enough time to develop some popular games exclusive to the Xingyi game console.

For example, "Ring Fit Adventure", "Breakup Kitchen", "Just Dance"...

With the help of the Xingyi game platform, a large number of excellent games will be absorbed and transplanted, making the game library of the Xingyi game console more substantial, and linked to the sales of Xingyi TVs, there will be no worries about sales.

If "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" were made, there would be no Switch.

Of course, Wang Yi will definitely not copy "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" as it is. On the contrary, he will completely replace it with oriental elements and upgrade it comprehensively!

By then, Xingyi Games will have "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", and miHoYo will have Genshin Impact, but Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will be out of the question before it's even released.

Although Wang Yi has invested in miHoYo and will definitely produce Genshin Impact in the future, miHoYo is miHoYo and he is at most an adopted son.

Xingyi Games is our own son.

What's more, MiHoYo's Yuanshen has a purely Japanese style of painting. If Wang Yi wants to do it, he will definitely add our own elements and oriental style.

This way, if miHoYo fails, there is still Xingyi Games as a backup.

After all, the "scattered soldiers" incident in his previous life made Wang Yi not know what to say.

In addition, another advantage of the Xingyi game console is that it can serve as a supplement to the TV and solve the problem of insufficient TV storage space.

You can just use the entire memory and go for the digital version!
Nintendo's idea is to sell games at a very high price, three or four hundred yuan for a game, the advantage is that the cartridge can be sold to make up for the loss after playing it. But if you want to play it again in the future, you have to buy it again and play it again...

This is undoubtedly a disaster for users who are interested in collecting.

If you don't sell it, you won't be able to get your money back. If you sell it, you will have to spend money again and start all over again if you want to play again, which is even more annoying!
Therefore, Wang Yi still plans to make a digital version, make the game console bigger, lower the price of the game, reduce the entry cost of the game, and sell more games at a lower profit margin.

For example, the standard edition of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" costs more than 400 yuan, the special edition is around 700 yuan, and the master edition is around 900 yuan, which is extremely expensive.

Xingyi Technology will use the digital version and reduce the price by 200%, with the standard version costing around yuan, in order to reduce the entry cost and increase sales and the number of users.

There is no special edition or master edition promoted, just some paid experiences are directly added to the game.

For users who don't want to spend money, the standard version is enough. If you want a better experience and cooler costumes, you can upgrade it by spending money.

As for mass production, both the Xingyi mobile phone factory and the Xingyi tablet factory can do it.

Currently, several major factories have insufficient production capacity and do not have the capacity to produce game consoles.

But in the second half of next year, there will be overcapacity!

By the end of this year, the Xingyi mobile phone super factory in Jeju will be fully operational.

In the second half of next year, the second Xingyi mobile phone factory and the super tablet factory in Jeju will be fully delivered and put into production, so the production capacity will be expanded!
Coupled with the three-shift work, production capacity continued to soar, and Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets could not be used.

After all, the previously planned annual production capacity of 5000 million was calculated based on two shifts. Now with three shifts, it is naturally 50% more, reaching 7500 million.

The Didu mobile phone factory operates in three shifts, with an annual production capacity of 4500 million mobile phones.

In the second half of next year, Jeju’s two major super factories will be fully operational, with three shifts each producing 7500 million units per year.

It can be said that in the second half of next year, the total production capacity of the three major mobile phone factories will reach 1.95 million.

Even if the annual sales of the UB mobile phone is 6000 million units and the annual sales of the Xingyi mobile phone is 3500 million units, there will still be an additional production capacity of million units next year, which can be used for the mass production of Xingyi game consoles!

Similarly, Xingyi Tablet Factory 1000 has an annual production capacity of 5000 million units in two shifts, and Factory 9000 has an annual production capacity of million units in two shifts. After all units are delivered in the second half of next year, the total production capacity will reach million units in three shifts.

The Xingyi tablet is a global best-seller, with an estimated sales volume of only 70 million. The extra 20 million production capacity next year can be fully used to produce iFlytek's learning machines and even Xingyi notebooks.

This will just solve the problem of overcapacity in the next year.

It can only be said that as Xingyi Technology's business scope expands and its products increase, its production capacity is only insufficient, not excessive.

However, the processor of the Xingyi game console is a big problem.

For gaming, the processor must be powerful, especially the GPU.

Not to mention PS4, even Switch is equipped with a customized version of NVIDIA X1 processor. The CPU is equivalent to Snapdragon 820, and the GPU is terrifying, equivalent to Snapdragon 845!

Right now, Xingyi Technology’s processors simply can’t handle the problem, even next year’s Kunpeng 900 will be useless.

Similarly, Qualcomm 800 is useless.

However, Switch was released in 2017. If the Xingyi game console was released in the second half of 2013, it would not require such a high configuration.

After all, games were relatively small in 2013, and this kind of hybrid handheld and console game console cannot enjoy 3A masterpieces.

Even if it is castrated and ported to the switch, the experience is hard to describe.

To put it bluntly, this two-in-one handheld and console game console is mainly designed for portability and family interaction. It can only play small games like "Ring Fit Adventure", and the highest limit is just "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "It Takes Two".

Therefore, the solution is to either develop a high-performance processor in-house that does not require a baseband and only needs to have a powerful CUP and GPU, similar to the chip in the iPad.

Although the A3X equipped in iPad 5 this year has poor performance, which has led to a decline in iPad sales, and it was hit hard by the Xingyi tablet, the sales of iPad 3 are very poor.

But the A4X chip equipped in the previous iPad 6 is much more powerful than the A6, making the iPad 4 a classic.

Similarly, whether it is for next year's Xingyi tablet or Xingyi game console, Xingyi Technology needs to develop a chip that is more powerful than the flagship mobile phone chip!
If we continue to use Kunpeng 900, there is still hope to beat Snapdragon 800, but it will be difficult to beat A6, let alone A6X, which is simply impossible.

What's worse is that due to the poor performance of the iPad 3 released in March, Apple will quickly release the iPad 6 equipped with A4X in October this year!

By then, the Xingyi tablet will encounter a strong enemy and be in danger.

Although it has advantages in other aspects, the processor is really not as good as A6X.

Wang Yi has made up his mind that in addition to Kunpeng 900, he will also develop a more powerful Kunpeng 900S next year!

Kunpeng 900S does not require a baseband, but its CPU and GPU must be powerful, comparable to Apple's A6X. In the future, it will be used in Xingyi tablets, Xingyi high-end TVs, and Xingyi game consoles!
In addition, the system of the Xingyi game console is also a problem.

Sony's PS4 and Nintendo's Switch are both self-developed systems.

In addition, it is based on the Windows system.

As for Android-based game consoles, they were popular for a while in the past, but they eventually came to nothing.

For example, God of War F1 started beautifully but ended irrationally, with sales of only a few hundred units, which was terrible.

The reason is that the wrong direction was chosen.

The Android system is a mobile terminal with lightweight applications and small games. It is no problem if you want to make a handheld game console, or a two-in-one handheld and console fusion machine like Switch.

But Android-based game consoles such as God of War F1 all have to be consoles to compete with PS4 and Xbox One.

This is asking for trouble!
Whether it's configuration, system, or game content, we can't beat it.

The simplest reason is that Android doesn't have many 3A masterpieces, and it is completely unable to compete in the console field.

Android's advantages are mobile terminals and lightweight applications, but its disadvantages are that the Android system is not suitable for developing 3A masterpieces, nor is it suitable for playing 3A masterpieces. Even if it is transplanted, the experience is still very poor.

Even with the future eight-core processor, once it runs 3A, one core will be fully loaded and the seven cores will be watching.

Not to mention that the current quad-core processors can't even run 3A.

To put it bluntly, it's difficult to run a 3A game smoothly, and it's even more difficult to run it perfectly.

You can only castrate, castrate, and castrate again...

Wang Yi's positioning of the Xingyi game console is a fusion of handheld and console. It is essentially a portable handheld and a family interactive console.

In this way, there will be no problem even if you use the Android system.

It just so happens that Xingyi TV and Xingyi tablet also run Android systems, so they can share the database with the Xingyi game platform.

At that time, the game data on Xingyi mobile phones and tablets can be synchronized to Xingyi game consoles and Xingyi TVs!

The main focus is on four-end interconnection.

As for why you need to buy a Xingyi game console when you can play games on your mobile phone?
Of course, the reason is that the phone screen is too small, and it’s not fun to play without a handle.

The Xingyi gaming console has a large screen, high configuration, large storage, a handle, and can also be transformed into a console to connect to a TV or monitor for a large-screen experience.

You can also pair it with a fitness ring set to enjoy somatosensory games.

Mobile phones can't do these.

In this way, the deeply customized Android system + the powerful Kunpeng 900S can create the first generation of Xingyi Switch!

Of course, this deep customization is based on the underlying layer and reconstructs the underlying algorithm.

Although it is still an Android system, it has been completely modified.

Greatly optimized the stability and fluency of Android.

And this is just the transition, or the first step.

Since last year, Wang Yi has established a system department and developed the system in three steps.

The first step is to reconstruct the underlying architecture of Android and optimize the modified Android.

Now it has been realized.

When the second generation of Xingyi mobile phone is released next month, Wang Yi will release a modified Android system, which will surpass Android 4.0 in terms of fluency and functionality.

The second step is to launch XOS, a self-developed system that integrates Android.

Like Android, XOS is a new system developed based on Linux, but it is compatible with Android applications, similar to Huawei's Hongmeng system in 2023.

This step is underway, and XOS 1.0 is expected to be released next year. It is a 64-bit system that supports 64-bit processors and applications.

当下的安卓4.0只是32位系统，明年9月份苹果发布的iOS 7.0，将成为第一款64位手机系统。

The 64-bit Android system was not released until Android 2014 in 5.0.

A 32-bit system processes 4 bytes at a time, while a 64-bit system processes eight bytes at a time.

Although Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng series chips started late, they are directly based on the latest ARM V8 architecture and start with 64 bits.

It can be said that when Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek were still making 32-bit processors, Xingyi Technology was already making 64-bit processors.

但是没意义，只有64位处理器搭配64位系统，搭配64位应用，才能比32位提升30%-50%的性能，以及10%-30%的启动速度。

Obviously, if we continue to use the Android system next year, the 64-bit Kunpeng processor will not be able to unleash its full performance.

If Xingyi Technology replaces the system with the self-developed 64-bit XOS system and adapts it to 64-bit APP, the performance of the Kunpeng series processors will be fully unlocked, and the performance will soar by 30%-50%!

届时，全适配64位的40纳米的鲲鹏510处理器，都能干28纳米的高通APQ8064处理器！
If XOS1.0 progresses smoothly and is released before September next year, it will become the world's first 9-bit mobile phone system.

By then, Android will be confused.

After all, XOS 1.0 is compatible with Android 4.0, but it is far ahead of Android 4.0, and even 5.0!

If competitors say that Xingyi XOS is not a self-developed system but an Android skin, they will be laughed at.

After all, XOS, which is an Android skin, is one generation ahead of Android, which is not justifiable in terms of IQ.

XOS should be ready in more than two years, from last year to next year.

At that time, Wang Yi plans to adapt the new system to Xingyi TV, Xingyi tablet and Xingyi switch first.

For example, the self-developed "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is developed based on Android 4.0, and can only be 32-bit, which is lame, and the hardware requirements are also very high.

After all, Android runs on a virtual machine, which is equivalent to adding an extra layer of system. It is estimated that even Kunpeng 900S cannot support it.

However, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is developed based on the self-developed XOS system. It does not require a virtual machine and runs directly on the self-developed XOS system. The requirements for performance configuration are much lower, and fluency is not a problem. Kunpeng 900S has no problem.

If it is made into a 64-bit app, the performance will be improved by another 32%-30% compared to Android's 50-bit version, which is even more amazing!

Moreover, developed based on the self-developed XOS system, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is equivalent to a closed system game and cannot be played on other Android platforms or other platforms.

This becomes an exclusive game.

If users want to experience "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", they can only buy the Xingyi Switch equipped with the XOS system, Xingyi mobile phones of 32G and above, and Xingyi tablets.

Even Xingyi TV has a hard time running it, after all, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" requires 14G.

The same is true for Ring Fit Adventure.

If it is developed based on Android, it will not be an exclusive game and can be easily cracked.

As for the simulator?
There is no emulator launched at all, so other platforms cannot play it!

What Xingyi Switch lacks most is high-quality exclusive games, and it can only create them one by one based on its self-developed XOS system.

Moreover, with the self-developed XOS system, Xingyi TV can also be fully upgraded to become smoother and more powerful.

Even if the Android-based Xingyi TV starts to lag after many years, it can still run for another two years after upgrading to the self-developed XOS system.

The third step is to launch the pure-blooded XOS system without Android applications, which is similar to Hongmeng Next and is completely incompatible with Android software.

However, this step will require several years of development. The key is ecological adaptation, which requires opportunities.

But it is undoubtedly a good choice to first promote the self-developed XOS system on Xingyi TV, Xingyi tablet and Xingyi game console.

Once the self-developed system matures and the ecosystem is cultivated, it will be popularized to Xingyi mobile phones, achieving a complete replacement for Android and a thorough cut off.

Three-step strategy, one step at a time.

Wang Yi has a plan. The self-developed XOS system that is compatible with Android and the games and game consoles developed based on the XOS system will be the key strategic direction for next year.

When I return to the capital, I will go to the system department and first develop XOS for large-screen TVs and game consoles.

As for the development of game consoles, it still has to be handed over to the tablet department.

The Xingyi Tablet X2pro and Xingyi Switch were developed together. Both have the same processor and similar configuration. The only difference is the focus.

The former is a comprehensive application, while the latter is a dedicated game console + handheld two-in-one.

The processor of iPad 4 is too terrifying. Even if it is difficult to compete with iPad in the tablet field, the chances of success will be greater if it is combined with game consoles.

They are all part of the Xingyi ecosystem, with interoperable games and data. This is an advantage that Apple does not have.

The future is an ecological competition, an ecological competition between Xingyi Technology and IOS and Android!
Two days later, Xingyi TV's production capacity soared. Wang Yi no longer had any worries and went straight back to the capital:

"Chairman, this is our LiDAR department. This is Director Tonya Dawan, a professor from Massachusetts. We hired her at a high price and she has profound knowledge in the field of LiDAR."

Jian Ziyan introduced.

Since Wang Yi decided on the strategy of developing lidar in June, Xingyi Technology has started to poach people crazily.

As LiDAR is an emerging field, there are not many talents in China, so we can only look overseas.

Originally, they only wanted to recruit PhD students in related majors from prestigious universities such as MIT, but unexpectedly, they also recruited their professors whose research direction was lidar!
Xingyi Technology Group's Chief Human Resources Officer, Tong, flew to the United States in person and finally recruited Professor Tonya Dawan and some of his students back.

All I can say is well done!
"Hello, Mr. Tonya Dawan." Wang Yi smiled and extended his hand.

"Hello, Boss. Just as Williams said, it's a miracle that he has achieved so much at such a young age!" Tonya Dawan said with a smile.

"Oh? Professor Tonya knows William?"

"Of course, to be honest, when Director Guan approached me, I was a little... lacking confidence in Xingyi Technology's new energy vehicle business. Later, I talked to Williams about it, and it was he who persuaded me."

"Oh? How did you persuade him?" Wang Yi became interested.

"Williams only said: 'Dr. Wang is a great entrepreneur and he is trustworthy.'"

"Haha, you're not that easily convinced."

Tonya Dawan nodded. "That's right. I said I trust Mr. Wang, but I don't think he will invest heavily in the field of LiDAR. This is an emerging field, and Europe and the United States haven't achieved much."

"In the end, William said that Xingyi Technology can make chips, let alone radar. Come here, you will like this country, this company, and this boss. Moreover, the scenery, culture, and history of the imperial capital are all excellent."

"So here I am."

"You made a wise choice!"

Wang Yi smiled. Williams must be given a thumbs up. This guy knows how to handle things.

Like Mr. Hu, when these industry bigwigs join, they will bring their students and confidants with them.

To put it bluntly, it’s just a team!
Moreover, with the golden signboard of the industry giant, it will be easier for Xingyi Technology to recruit relevant talents again.

Even many top talents come here to recommend themselves.

So within two months, the laser radar R&D department was instantly filled with R&D personnel, and the number of R&D engineers exceeded 330!
Such a research and development team is already quite strong at present.

For example, Hesai Technology in its previous life was a team of 560 people that developed a complete set of lidar solutions.

Among them are administrative, secretarial and other supporting personnel. In fact, there are only more than 400 pure R&D personnel.
