Chapter 667: Roots

"I'm sorry; Both of you are very good physicists, I have read some of the reports in the physics laboratory, both of them have done a great job, and now I am ready to work on a new project, both PhDs, you have new tasks. ”

These two are very good physicists, Yang Yi naturally will not let them do some ordinary physics work, after training and internal screening, naturally have to arrange more suitable positions.

As for whether it will be leaked, Yang Yi is not worried, now only in the field of chips, the United States' technical reserves are still in the leading position, not to mention, modern scientific research work, most researchers are responsible for very one-sided work, even if it is leaked, it will not affect anything at all.

……

"If the people at Qualcomm knew that this was the result, they would definitely not agree to those conditions so easily, but now they only have to cry bitterly."

With the success of the "Zhoutian" series of baseband communication chips, Qualcomm can't earn a penny of Star products at all, but because of patents, it has to pay money to Star Group, so Andy will say so when he looks at the financial report.

"Qualcomm wants to cry, so shouldn't AMD cry more? Qualcomm's current mobile phone processors can also be sold, and the GPU technology is still sold by AMD two years ago; It only sold a measly $65 million, look at the current sales of Qualcomm Snapdragon? Yang Yi, who was lying next to him, commented indifferently at this time.

Although Qualcomm can only eat some leftover soup now, it is also an extremely lucrative profit compared to the global smart terminal market.

Starry Sky's processor chips and quantum communication are not sold out, Zhou Tian is only an ordinary communication chip, and now is the hottest time for the concept of smart phones, although Qualcomm's Snapdragon series chips have various problems, but compared with similar ones on the market, they are still in the middle and upper class.

"Anyone can say it as an afterthought, but what's the use? After all, their management has to think about performance, and it is normal for unprofitable businesses to be sold or shut down early. ”

"It's normal, otherwise how could we have a chance? But I said, I was still cheated by the Indians, and we must control our personnel well, and we must not let the Indians be the management, and the grassroots management is not good. ”

Yang Yi attaches great importance to this aspect of the group, and often brings it up at the group's annual personnel meeting; This is not just discrimination, even though Indians in countries such as Britain and the United States and Indians in India are two completely different groups.

Most of the Indians in Britain and the United States have also obtained various work visas through "various channels", and through the "passing and helping" of the Indian "advance force" that has already gained a firm foothold, they have gradually gained a foothold and stayed.

A very big characteristic of Indians in foreign countries is that they hug very tightly, and they hug very much in broad daylight, blatantly, and happily.

Once an Indian enters a company, a large group of remaining Indians will follow; When a certain percentage of Indians are in a company, out of management considerations (religion, culture, communication style), there will be Indians who will be promoted to the junior management positions, and when multiple Indians occupy the junior management positions, they will continue to happily hold together and march into middle management positions and top management positions.

Of course, there are also very good elites among these Indians who gradually occupy middle and high-level positions, and they can also make good achievements, but Indians occupy management positions in American companies in batches, not only by outstanding management ability, there are still routines in this.

The Indians who have taken root in the United States are a group of people who cherish the "American dream" and work hard to realize their "American dream", and they are no longer the same kind of people as the Indians who remain in India, in a sense, of course, they still have a kind of "nepotism": a considerable number of successful Indians who have realized the "American dream" will choose to return to India to serve as the head of the Indian branch of a multinational company. Or even create outsourcing companies that can use the resources and power in their hands to bring overseas business to India for delivery.

The local talents in India, taking the IT industry as an example, are mostly low-end talents trained through the assembly line of vocational colleges.

Even in technology industries such as IT, the religiosity, caste system and class divisions of Indian society make the quality and efficiency of work in Indians staggering.

This can be seen only by looking at the examples of how many planes and how many people die in the Indian Air Force every year, how the navy's self-built ships have been delayed again and again, and how the built ships have capsized and sunk before they have even been undocked.

Of course, the major British and American companies that are now being cheated by Indian CEOs are actually not very innocent; The full name of CEO is ChiefExecutiveOfficer, the Chinese name is "CEO", and it can also be seen from the name that a company, what to do and not to do, is not decided by the CEO, but by the board of directors, and the CEO is responsible for implementing the resolutions of the board of directors.

In other words, what the CEO can decide is what the board of directors knows how to do it, and who to find and how many resources to do it. The CEO leads the executive organization, and the CEO's decision-making power is reflected in the decomposition and implementation of strategic objectives and the allocation of resources for the implementation of strategic objectives when implementing the established strategy.

For the CEO of a listed company, he is mainly responsible for the rights and interests of shareholders, that is, the company's market value and stock price, which are usually focused on by the media spotlight; The standard for measuring the quality of a CEO is whether the company's financial report he delivers meets the expectations of shareholders and the capital market, that is, Wall Street.

For example, if the ancient kings wanted to fight, they had to find a general to take command, give the tiger talisman, and lead the troops to fight.

However, how to fight this battle, what kind of troops to fight, and how to arrange the troops must be decided on the spot according to factors such as time, location, people, etc., and "the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected."

One factor that is easy to ignore is the king's trust in the general, and no king will give the tiger talisman to the general he does not trust.

The choice of CEO in the enterprise is also a reason, whoever sits in this position must be recognized and trusted by shareholders and the capital market, and the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, who are good at self-marketing and claim to be of the same origin as the Anglo-Saxons, have a huge advantage in this regard.

However, there is still a considerable Cold War mentality left in the mainstream concept of Europe and the United States, so even Chinese and Indians with the same management ability have unequal opportunities to be promoted to the top level in European and American enterprises from the beginning, and it is of little practical significance to ignore these key factors to talk about the management ability of Indians.

Regardless of the group of Indians as CEOs, in fact, the CEOs of most European and American multinational companies now specialize in catering to shareholders and capital markets, rather than corporate business management.

The core competitiveness of Indian executives is that India has hundreds of millions of cheap (some English-speaking) educated, obedient office workers, and it's not a question of who is smart, it's an industrial chain.

The general practice of Indian executives is that when several people enter the company, everyone agrees that one person is more powerful, they arch this person as a manager, and then help each other, pit other nationalities during interviews, and then use personal connections to find the most powerful Indian they can recruit.

After there are more people, there is another director to be the director, and the director has more power, so he began to set up a team in the Indian branch and assign the work to India little by little.

The Indian branch can hire five or six Indians for the money of one person in North America, and these people send an average of hundreds of resumes to the North American office every month, hoping to immigrate to the United States.

Then they pick the best 5% of these resumes to recruit to the United States, although the quality of ordinary Indians is very poor, but these people belong to a team in India, and they have three or five years of experience in internal things, but they are only applying for basic positions, and the admission is the best ones, plus it takes dozens or hundreds of years for Indians to wait in line for a green card, so it is basically impossible to change jobs.

This kind of slave labor who is technically an old employee, whose salary requirements are lower than that of a new employee, who is one in a hundred miles (although the 100 people are very frustrated as a whole), and who will not change jobs, is of course willing to ask for it.

And these recruited Indians are also grateful to the Indian managers who came to them, and directly become descendants, so that after a long time, the core position of the company is full of Indians, these people have been like a day for decades, and finally sent the boss of their gang to the president of major IT companies, such as Microsoft.

White people are not blind, and it is certainly not impossible to see the play of Indians waiting for companies, but it is beneficial for enterprises to reduce employment costs, so the American society dominated by capital will turn a blind eye to this.

Of course, everything is a win-or-fail situation, and there is a shortage of high-paying jobs in North America, and STEM engineer jobs that were once considered uncool are now in vogue.

And the whites found that the Indians had seized power to the highest level, and if they did not curb themselves, they were doomed to work for the Indians, and of course now they are gradually beginning to reverse.

The Chinese people can't do this, the Indians do, and the whites who conspire with them take the lion's share, and the Chinese people do it, and the whites don't have to mix it up at all.

At the market level, because of the focus on the market, the management in India is basically the same as the board of directors, that is, it is more focused on short-term profits, and it is normal for AMD to be pitted.

Although the same technology, in the hands of different sellers, the final market performance will be very different.

Qualcomm bought the technology, then bought the ARM architecture license, integrated it and then entrusted the wafer factory to produce it on its behalf, and it had its own Snapdragon processor.

Although Snapdragon has been mixing well in recent years, it is not as good as Starry Sky Loongson in playing games, and its performance is not as good as Apple's A series.

Regardless of the 3G model, the name has CDMA letters in it, indicating that it is developed based on code division multiple access technology, and it will inevitably use a large number of CDMA patents owned by Qualcomm.

The purchase of Qualcomm Snapdragon series chips that integrate the baseband chip function can reduce the difficulty of development and patent costs in this regard, which is very beneficial to mobile phone manufacturers, but such an operation method is something that pure processor manufacturers like Apple A series cannot imitate.

And Starry Sky took advantage of the negotiation at that time, took this out and talked about it, paid a cost of nearly one billion ($180 million), and negotiated part of the 2G3G authorization.

I thought there was still 4G to get stuck in the neck, but I didn't expect the starry sky to be in 4 for a long time

G has achieved corner overtaking, and the unique quantum communication system, must be realized by the Zhou Tian series of chips, such as today's complete set of quantum communication satellites has been expanded to 72, can achieve 3 billion ~ 3.8 billion terminal networking, although the speed is only 7.2m, but the tariff is cheap, for the communication system of various countries is a major blow, for Qualcomm, it is a more tragic blow.

Originally, Qualcomm planned to follow the trend of 4G and become the hegemon in the chip field, firmly grasping a huge profit in smart devices.

Now I can only eat some leftover soup; AMD obviously knows its own weakness, so when the losers in the graphics card field are all rushing into the field of mobile phone processors, agricultural companies have already seen through everything, and are still calmly continuing their "construction machinery business", launching bulldozers, pile drivers, and road rollers (these are the names of the CPU microarchitecture of agricultural enterprises) every year.

On the windowsill next to the two people who spoke, there were two straight mobile phones side by side, and unexpectedly, the screens of the two mobile phones still presented a bright picture in the sunlight, and there was no problem that the LCD screen could not be seen clearly under the sun.

This is because there is no LCD screen on the two mobile phones at all, but the use of reflective energy-absorbing screen technology that is very different from the liquid crystal display technology, the stronger the ambient light, the higher the brightness of the screen, and it is naturally not afraid of daylight.

And because there is no need for backlighting, the power consumption of this screen is very low, saving more than half of the power of various LCD technologies; In addition, it can also be charged with a weak solar energy, which can almost reach one hour of charging and five minutes of happiness.

Of course, this also brings another disadvantage,That is, this kind of screen is very poor in the dim light,But after all, humans are diurnal creatures,If you can't see the phone clearly in the bed, then reach out and press the lamp,And the back of the mobile phone is also installed with an invisible LED display,And equipped with a low-power AI voice control chip,Users can directly wake up the mobile phone AI through the preset voice password,Light up the back screen、Start vibration to report their location。

Of course, this function can also be used to unlock the phone by voice, simplifying the troublesome operation of pressing the power button, swiping or entering the password to unlock the screen.

This is an experimental machine developed for the next generation of equipment, which is not good for manufacturers who are too advanced, because there is no other manufacturer to copy; For example, since the success of Starry Sky to launch large-screen mobile phones, other manufacturers have launched larger-screen mobile phones, and Starry Sky is proposing the concept of narrow bezels, and even some manufacturers have made bezel-less mobile phones.

The second generation of the starry sky began to use1080P screen,It didn't take long,It has become the standard configuration of the popular type,Although the quality of the screen is uneven among other manufacturers,But at least catch up in the hard configuration。
