Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 566 Emerald Empire

In Dongguan, Ling Shaonan stayed for a total of four days.However, although it was nominally to witness the historical moment when Yinmei's first mobile phone went offline, in fact, from the second day onwards, Ling Shaonan's energy was diverted from the mobile phone project.

Because in Ling Shaonan's view, although Yinmei's mobile phone has completely independent intellectual property rights, the domestic media has also reported it very lively these days, but in fact there is nothing to be excited about - he ordered the hades organization, and even personally He hacked into the network of South Korea's Samsung Group many times, obtained a lot of research materials on LCD technology, and hacked into the databases of several major international mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola to obtain the core information of their mobile phone chips and software systems, and then Give it to Yinmei's technicians to remake it into their own things, and apply for patents first (otherwise, how do you think Yinmei's thousands of patents a year come from? They can't have this speed all by themselves).

In addition, in terms of operating system software, Silver Magic has also received the full support of Hurricane Software. Linus Torvalds personally organized a team of engineers to stay in Dongguan to participate in the development and debugging of general-purpose chips, and to study how to pass The cooperation of software and hardware exerts the best effect.

The cooperation between Yinmei and Hurricane was of course instructed by Ling Shaonan.After the establishment of Hurricane Software, Ling Shaonan once had a long talk with Torvalds. He told Torvalds that Microsoft is currently dominating the world in the field of PC operating systems, and it is not so easy to overthrow it. , If it is head-to-head, it will not only be thankless, but it will also arouse Microsoft's vigilance, so it is necessary to find another way.

Torvalds also agreed with this conclusion after careful consideration, and asked Ling Shaonan for advice, and Ling Shaonan took advantage of the opportunity to tell him his plan: Since we can't force it, we might as well play the curve to save the country, the PC operating system can't Give up, otherwise we will not be able to seize the opportunity in the future, but in addition, Hurricane can also develop mobile phone operating systems and application software.Especially the mobile phone operating system, with the increasing penetration rate and technological advancement, the role of mobile phones in people's lives is becoming more and more important. In the future, it will definitely reach or even surpass the status of PCs!

For now, major international mobile phone brands use their own operating systems. This is of course no problem now when mobile phone functions are relatively simple, but when there is a revolutionary innovation in mobile phone technology, these simple operating systems are not enough Yes, the market will inevitably have a very large demand for a new multi-functional operating system by then, and if the Hurricane starts to deploy from now on, there will be a great opportunity to get the biggest piece of cake by then!

As for the development of application software, it is to maintain the balance of Hurricane's revenue and expenditure, and at the same time provide continuous financial support for the development of the PC operating system. After all, the scale of Hurricane Software Company is not small, and there is Linus Torvalds' golden signboard. There, a large number of senior programmers came to vote one after another, can't they survive on their laurels?

Because Ling Shaonan described the development prospects of mobile phones in the next 20 years very vividly, and it sounds very likely, and he has a good understanding of it and the electronics industry. When Mei was committed to the goal of becoming a mobile phone platform provider, it saw a huge opportunity from it. It immediately decided to follow Ling Shaonan's words, and resolutely led a capable team of engineers to Dongguan to integrate the PC operating system and application software The work on this aspect was thrown to the other two vice presidents.

In this way, with the full support of Ling Shaonan, Hades and the Hurricane engineer team, it would be useless if Yinmei can't produce some decent results!So Ling Shaonan didn't show much excitement, but Wang Peng and others were so fast and efficient that he was a little surprised.

Therefore, after witnessing Yinmei's first mobile phone offline, and delivered an exciting speech, greatly praised all relevant personnel, and sent a pair of big red envelopes, Ling Shaonan's attention was on Moved away from the mobile phone, Yinmei is not the only mobile phone project worthy of attention.

From the beginning of its establishment, Ling Shaonan's goal was to build Yinmai into a super electronics group like South Korea's Samsung. Therefore, with an investment of nearly one billion U.S. dollars, Yinmai's scale is also very large, and its product line covers a wide range. In addition to the subsidiary Yinmai Communications and its affiliated production plants that research and develop mobile phones, there is also Yinmai Digital, which is dedicated to the development and production of mp3 players, USB disks and other products, specializing in the development of Yinmai imaging for LCD screens for various purposes. And Yinmei Semiconductor, which develops various general-purpose and special-purpose chips, and so on.

Among them, the research and development of the mp3 player by Yinmai Digital has come to an end, and there is only one last problem to be solved: to choose one of the flash memory and the micro hard disk as the storage medium.These two things have their own advantages and disadvantages. Flash memory has fast access speed, no noise, and small heat dissipation, but the disadvantages are that the capacity is too small and the price is too expensive; There is no advantage of flash memory, so it is very difficult to choose.

However, this entanglement only exists in terms of cost control and marketing promotion. Technically, no matter what kind of storage medium is completely achievable, of course, if Yinmei Semiconductor can make a breakthrough in flash memory technology, it can produce high-capacity, low-price With flash memory, this problem can be perfectly solved.

In addition, there is another important reason why Yinmai Digital is not in a hurry to bring its own mp3 player to the market: after the world's first mp3 player, mpmanf10, came out last year, although its inventor, Sehan Corporation of Korea, did not have enough strength Large-scale promotion, but Diamond Corporation of the United States has seen the potential of mp3 players, and at the end of last year launched the first mp3 player riopmp300 that impressed the world. The biggest advantage of this player is that it can Download mp3 music from the Internet without spending a penny.

However, this has brought about the problem of copyright protection, making Diamond Corporation targeted by the Recording Industry Association of America, and now the two parties are fighting a lawsuit in full swing.

If Yinmei stepped in at this time, it would undoubtedly complicate the situation. Due to the consistent discriminatory attitude towards Huaxia and Huaxia enterprises, the Americans are likely to change their position subjectively and make a decision against the alliance that would have won the lawsuit. The unfavorable judgment of the company has brought a lot of trouble to the newly emerging mp3 player industry. Although it will not cause the industry to die, it is entirely possible to delay its prosperity for a few years.

Therefore, after discussing with Wang Peng and requesting Ling Shaonan's consent, the president of Silver Magic Digital decided to suspend the launch of the Silver Magic mp3 player, waiting for the lawsuit between Diamond Corporation and the Recording Industry Association of America to settle.At that time, they will contact the Recording Industry Association of America, which has just lost the lawsuit, and propose to purchase the rights to use those mp3s. This copyright entanglement that has attracted widespread attention has established a positive image for Silver Magic that respects intellectual property rights.

Different from Huaxia, in Europe and the United States, people attach great importance to intellectual property rights. Such a weak positive image in China will greatly promote the promotion of Yinmei mp3 players in Europe and the United States.I don’t know since when, Chinese people generally have a plot of “worshiping foreigners and fawning on foreign countries”. They always feel that foreign products are better than domestic ones. Should sales still be a concern?

In terms of USB flash drives, the problems encountered by Yinmei Digital are similar to those of mp3 players. They are all stuck in the small capacity and high price of flash memory.However, they have already produced a batch of samples and applied for patents in various major countries in the world, thus avoiding the situation similar to what happened between China Netac, Israel m-systems and Singapore trek and other companies about usb flash drives Competition for basic invention patents.As for when to put it into mass production, Yinmay Digital can calmly and flexibly respond to technological progress and market changes.

Compared with Silver Magic Digital, Silver Magic imaging is another situation.So far, Silver Magic Imaging has not directly oriented products to consumers, but to other electronic manufacturers (actually mainly Silver Magic Communication and Silver Magic Digital, but with the successive launch of the products of these two companies, they are widely available in the market. Once the brand is established, the advantages of high-quality, low-cost and high cost-effective LCD screens produced by Yinmei Imaging will gradually be reflected, attracting the attention of people in the industry, and the rapid expansion of its customer base will be a matter of course.) Provide LCDs of various specifications screen, so it needs to consider much fewer issues than Silver Magic Digital. In addition to continuously improving technology and reducing costs, it is to continuously improve existing products based on market feedback.

In such a big environment, it is impossible for Yinmei Semiconductor to jump to PC hardware development in one step, even if Ling Shaonan and Hades can get a lot of technical information for them—mobile phone hardware in the late 90s The technical gap with computer hardware is very large, and there is no unified industry standard. After the mobile phone hardware technology is obtained, it can be used relatively easily after a change of appearance. However, patent barriers for computer hardware are almost everywhere, and it is completely impossible.
