Chapter 1055: Rewrite the Rules of the Game!
Behind the scenes.
Looking at the staff who were busy preparing, Wang Zhengfei suddenly said with a smile.
"I heard you got a journal recently?"
Lu Zhou nodded.
"Hmm."
"It's called 'Future', it's a good name." Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, "A few days ago, when the engineers of our R&D department held a conference, I also said at the meeting that if anyone can write a work in the main journal of "Future", I will personally pay him to reward him with 500,000 yuan! β
Speaking of this, Wang Zhengfei paused for a moment, made a joke and continued, "You must be strict in reviewing the manuscript." If you don't strictly control this, the money in my pocket will not be enough to pay bonuses, and I will have to ask you for it when the time comes. β
"You don't have to worry about this," Lu Zhou said with a faint smile, "Only sufficiently outstanding research results are eligible to be featured in the main journal, such as Professor Wu Tianqun's paper on carbon-based chips." If it's just an integrated circuit design...... I still recommend investing in the sub-journal of electronics. β
Hearing this, Wang Zhengfei shook his head with a smile and said, "You ...... The standard is too exaggerated, and the technology that has subverted the industry may not be able to produce one for more than ten years. β
Lu Zhou: "It's just that in terms of importance, I didn't say that it will necessarily disrupt the industry. What's more, the papers we include cover so many fields, and we can always come across a few outstanding research results. β
Not to mention anything else, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study alone has many projects that meet Lu Zhouzhong's expectations.
In the past, these research units contributed to top journals such as Nature and Science, but now that there is Future, it is natural that there is a more priority choice.
As for whether others contribute, in fact, Lu Zhou doesn't care very much.
After all, this journal was originally founded for his own Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was soon approaching the time for the opening of the briefing.
Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"In 15 minutes, our product launch will begin, and this is a good opportunity to show your face in front of the world's media, why don't you really go up and say a few words?"
Lu Zhou shook his head and said.
"Not much interest."
Wang Zhengfei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said.
"But I forgot, a scholar like you doesn't lack such opportunities to show his face once or twice."
Lu Zhou sighed and said with a helpless expression.
"Actually, it's a lot of trouble, okay? I wish there were fewer of them. I would prefer that people who are bored would focus more on the problems I solve than on my external and personal life. β
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult, what you study, I'm afraid there aren't many people in the world who can understand it," he said. legs, Wang Zhengfei stood up from the chair with a smile, "That's okay, let's be a listener this time." β
Standing up together, Lu Zhou asked curiously.
"Aren't you going up and talking?"
"I can't talk about it," Wang Zhengfei smiled and waved his hand, "We have a special product strategy officer, not to mention that in terms of personal image, I'm afraid that an old man is not very likable, and it is better to leave this kind of thing to young people with active thinking." β
Hearing this, Lu Zhou immediately smiled embarrassedly.
Although he still wants others to pay more attention to his inner self than his handsome image.
But to be praised so much in person, I will still be a little embarrassed.
While the two were talking, at this moment, a young man in a suit pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.
Glancing at the young man who was walking towards this side from the door with an enthusiastic face, Wang Zhengfei then looked at Lu Zhou and said with a smile.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is our chief product strategy officer, Shao Yi."
"Hello Academician Lu, I've admired my name for a long time!" Holding Lu Zhou's hand excitedly, this young man who was about twenty or thirty years old said with a sincere smile on his face, "You can call me Xiao Shao or Xiao Yi." β
After shaking hands with him and letting go, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Let's call Brother Shao." β
"Our Academician Lu is shy, he's embarrassed to call you that," Walking to the side, Wang Zhengfei patted the young man's shoulder with a smile and gave him an encouraging look, "Are you ready?" β
As soon as he heard this question, the young man immediately stood upright.
"Ready!"
"Well, the momentum is good," looking at his determined gaze, Wang Zhengfei nodded and said, "Then let's go." β
β¦β¦
The product launch conference was held at the International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Looking over the crowded convention and exhibition center, looking at the meta100 series mobile phones playing on the big screen, Swann couldn't help frowning.
Mabelry, who was standing next to him, was the same, his brow furrowed and he muttered.
"Are they doing a product launch, or are they holding an exhibition?"
"I don't know ......"
I don't know why, looking at the concept model displayed on the counter, even if he knows that most of the thing is just a shell, Swan's heart has a faint feeling of something bad.
It's just that he doesn't know exactly where this bad feeling comes from.
Maybe I'm a little tired after more than ten hours on the plane.
Thinking so, he shook his head, leaving the strange feeling behind him.
With a confident smile on his face, he politely presented the invitation letter in his hand to the staff and explained his intention.
In any case, this is on the enemy's turf, although he knows that Warwick most of the time wants to give them a horse through this press conference, but he still has to maintain the basic demeanor.
After confirming the contents of the invitation, the staff immediately led the two to a special passage, and after passing through the security check procedure, they entered the core area of the convention and exhibition center.
"The press conference is in Hall 1, and it is about to start, and the seats for the two of you are in the VIP seats, and you can see it when you go straight through the door."
"Okay," he nodded to the staff, and Swan winked at Mayberry before leading him in the direction of Hall 1.
Because of a delay on the road, when the two arrived at the press conference, the press conference had already begun.
However, looking at the content on the screen, it shouldn't have started too long.
Standing on the stage was a very energetic young man, presumably similar to a product manager or something.
Not to Swan's surprise, Warwick almost arrived as scheduled and played the card of carbon-based chips at the press conference, causing the media and attendees to be invited to the event to exclaim again and again.
Although he was also surprised in his heart, he had already seen it once at the International Integrated Circuit Design and Technology Summit, and he was sure that he did not feel more on it.
Even, I felt a little bored.
He took the CTO to Shanghai this time, not to see Warwick fried cold rice, nor to follow a group of people who have never seen the world to make a fuss.
Just when he couldn't help but yawn and began to wonder if this trip was in vain, the picture on the curtain suddenly changed, making him squint his eyes and regain his spirits.
At the same time, the young man standing on the stage, after introducing the performance parameters of the Longteng No. 1 chip listed in the paper, as well as the boring technical details, also suddenly changed his painting style and continued.
"In fact, many people think that our chips will be very expensive, not affordable for ordinary people, and the application field is also limited."
"I admit that the cost of carbon-based chips is indeed a little higher than that of traditional silicon-based chips, which is a matter of the price of the material itself, and a question of whether the industrialization is mature or not."
"For an emerging industry, both are unavoidable. Just like when computers were first invented, there was no concept of a PC at that time, because the price of a computer was simply not affordable for individual users. β
"But in this world, there is never a problem that is absolute. I believe that both of these problems can be solved in production practice. β
As he spoke, Shao Yi looked back at the big screen and pressed the electronic pen in his hand.
The screen scattered like fragments, and then everyone was presented with a phone that was pitch black and exuded mysteriousness.
βmete100γβ
There was a commotion from the audience.
Shao Yi continued.
"I believe that when you entered the convention and exhibition center, you have already seen it."
"This time, what we broke through was not the camera, not the exterior design, but the core area of the electronics industry - the chip itself."
"Compared with the Meta series mobile phones that use traditional silicon-based chips, the METE100 with Longteng No. 1 series chips will be 1mm thicker and 13% lighter."
"And it's all about not sacrificing performance...... Even under the premise of revolutionizing the performance of mobile phones! β
When they heard this, almost everyone present, including Swann and Mayberry, two Intel executives, had a surprised expression on their faces.
The thickness of the mobile phone has been reduced by 1mm!
Without sacrificing the performance of the phone itself!?
"How is this possible!"
Involuntarily vented the shock in his heart, and Mayberry, whose face was full of shock, suddenly thought of something, lowered his head and whispered, "No, not necessarily...... Maybe it's possible. β
Heat dissipation of carbon-based chips!
And that 20W maximum power consumption!
Generally speaking, the way for major manufacturers to solve the heat dissipation problem of mobile phones is to install a graphite thermal conductive sheet under the processor, or to add heat dissipation gel, and the power is high, and the PC-level heat dissipation technology - heat pipe.
However, these designs, in the face of carbon-based chips, are purely redundant.
Even if the low power consumption characteristics of carbon-based chips are not considered, their physical properties determine that they no longer need to rely on the power of other materials to take away excess heat energy like traditional silicon-based semiconductors.
As if answering the question he blurted out, Shao Yi smiled and spoke.
"Here we have to thank the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, as well as the cooperation unit Microelectronics Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as I said at the beginning, the impact of carbon-based chips on the entire electronics industry will be subversive!"
"Not just the chip itself, but with the excellent physical properties of carbon materials, our engineers can have a broader imagination without having to make difficult trade-offs between performance and space."
"The combination of Longteng series chips and mete100 is not just as simple as 1+1=2, but 1+1=n!"
Looking at the venue that was almost boiling, the young chief product strategy officer smiled slightly, adding another fire to the boiling atmosphere.
"Here, on behalf of our Warwick Group, I can issue a military order to you!"
"Within three years, we will apply the Longteng series of chips to our Huawei low, medium and high-end mobile phones, so that our chip technology will be fully updated!"
"Even not only mobile phones, but also our router business, as well as all 1+8+N services with mobile phones as the entrance, will be updated in all aspects and plugged in the wings of the new era!"
The screen was projected on the screen, and the tempo was noticeably accelerated.
In front of all the audience at the venue, not only the mete100 series concept machine, but also a series of pan-IoT hardware including tablets, PCs, smart wearables, and even lighting, security, environment, cleaning, etc.
With the support of 5G technology, all smart devices will be connected as a whole.
And the emergence of carbon-based chips has given all this the wings of imagination.
The cries of surprise in his ears were gradually inaudible, and Swan's pupils almost contracted to a point as he watched everything flash quickly across the curtain.
There was a rare hint of panic written on that calm face.
He finally knew why they were so fearless.
Their real hole cards are not carbon-based chips at all!
It is a complete industrial chain from mobile phones to PCs, from individual users to collective users, built around carbon-based chips!
The index finger trembled.
At this moment, he finally felt a trace of fear.
Whether it is Intel, Qualcomm or ADM, the reason why these traditional semiconductor giants can override the anti-monopoly law and do whatever they want to the downstream of the entire industrial chain through a loose alliance is nothing more than that the entire industry ecology is built around them.
Regardless of the boom and bust of downstream industries, as long as the ecology they spent decades building still exists, and as long as the world does not regress to primitive society, then they can sit back and relax at the top of the pyramid and laugh at the changes under the pyramid.
And now, Huawei is building a new ecological ......
There is no place left for them in this ecological chain, and every outward tentacle of this chain is able to replace them, and even those downstream partners who are crawling on their side.
These people are not lions, or even hunters with guns......
From the very beginning, they did not intend to fight with their giants who stood in the industrial chain.
What they're really doing is rewriting the rules of the game......
