There is a popular knowledge that the project leader is often not the person who actually does the work, so whether it is a public project or a private enterprise project, as long as there is a problem with the project, the deputy will be dismissed immediately, because the deputy is the person who actually does the work.
Mr. Gu and Mr. Ren ate and drank, chatting about local customs. In a friendly atmosphere, some future arrangements for the new company were also discussed.
The smartphone industry is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more integration projects.
After a product prototype is manufactured, it still requires patent review, software and hardware adjustment, after-sales service, store service points, maintenance personnel, customer service, inventory parts supply, and a lot more.
Some of these things are very expensive and some are very labor-intensive.
It takes about two to five years from project establishment to release for a brand’s flagship model.
For a good flagship product, the most time- and money-consuming aspects are usually the research and development, distribution and store maintenance costs.
The R&D department needs to conduct R&D and design according to the needs of flagship products, including software functions, system optimization, hardware selection and debugging, and then software and hardware compatibility issues and BUG repairs.
Once the engineering prototype comes out, production can almost begin.
Arrange the production plan, the hardware components are either OEM or self-produced, and then patch, which is responsible for fixing the components to the circuit board.
The process of patching is relatively complicated, including printing, patching, furnace passing, inspection, and testing. Some special components cannot be patched and require a plug-in production. The circuit board produced in this way is also the motherboard of the mobile phone. and sub-board.
After the patch is installed, each component is installed, and then tested for a variety of items, such as waterproofing, dustproofing, falling, aging and wear of components, etc.
When all this is done, it is packaged and shipped to various stores or consumers.
"Since our company is responsible for the software and the main screen, then your company will be responsible for the stores, local warehouses and repairs and repairs. What do you think?"
Master Ren laughed.
But when Gu Qing handed him a list, Mr. Ren's expression immediately became solemn.
Looking at the products that Jiuzhou Technology can provide above, the old man frowned.
After a long time, he squinted and asked: "Can you even make 5G radio frequency chips? It's not that I'm a little shocked, but you can make screen control chips. It can be seen that your OLED screen technology is indeed self-contained. , but as far as I know, no domestic manufacturer can do a good job in 5G radio frequency chips."
Not only are 5G radio frequency chips not doing well, there are very few domestic manufacturers that make radio frequency chips, or the market share is extremely small.
Not to mention 5G, just 3G and 4G. American and Neon manufacturers have already monopolized the radio frequency market for a long time.
The design and manufacturing process in the RF front-end field is complex and the threshold is extremely high, and the concentration of RF chip manufacturers is very high.
"The Sword Comes"
Mainly occupied by foreign companies such as Strix, Broadcom, Qorvo, etc., none of these three is weak.
Broadcom, for example, is one of the world's largest wireless semiconductor companies, with more than 2,600 U.S. patents and 1,200 foreign patents.
Its biggest news in recent years was in November 2017.
Broadcom plans to acquire Qualcomm for US$70 per share in cash and stock, with a total transaction value of 130 billion, mainly equity + debt acquisition.
Of course, Qualcomm is not a soft persimmon. After some operations, in March 2018, the White House issued an order prohibiting Broadcom from acquiring Qualcomm as originally planned on the grounds of national security.
Immediately, Broadcom announced very interestingly that it had withdrawn and terminated its offer to acquire Qualcomm, and at the same time withdrew its nomination as an independent director at Qualcomm’s 18th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
But that's not all. When others relaxed their vigilance, in July, Broadcom and enterprise software company CA Technology announced that the two parties had reached a cash acquisition agreement of US$18.9 billion.
So does Jiuzhou Technology dare to seize food from these companies?
The answer is of course yes.
Gu Qing nodded sincerely.
“I actually compared the advantages, disadvantages and complementarities between our two companies.
In the fields of CPU chip design, communication module protocols, camera and recording, etc., your company is a well-deserved first.
What we Jiuzhou Technology can do is naturally give full play to the advantages of our semiconductor department in addition to ensuring the display screen, system software functions, and user data security.
We have experimental samples of 5G radio frequency chips and filters, and the results are pretty good. "
What works well?
That was all done by a group of R&D personnel from the Semiconductor Department and the Titanium Star Department.
Of course they lost their hair, and they also gained a string of bank account numbers.
Mr. Ren admires the R&D personnel of Jiuzhou Technology very much, or should we say the bosses of relevant departments?
After eating and drinking, Gu Qing declined Yu Chengdong's invitation and returned to Rongcheng.
At the same time, Dong Qi, Li You and others still cannot escape the fate of business trips.
In recent years, domestic memory manufacturers have caught up with the international forefront in technology through curved patent operations, and their backbone has also become stronger.
Although the yield rate and cost cannot beat foreign manufacturers, it has solved the problem of starting from scratch and from something to something good.
Dong Qi and other senior executives went there in person to contact the domestic manufacturers of these mobile phone components. It didn't matter whether the mobile phone memory, gyroscope and other components were expensive, as long as they were reliable.
At the same time, the software engineering department has started another round of bonus incentives. Everyone can't wait to eat and sleep in the company. If they work all night and for a few days to achieve small results, they can get a considerable bonus. This is simply money falling from the sky. If you don't pick it up, you will feel a loss.
Xia Wei is much busier.
Suiren's new brand of terminal products requires the establishment of a new R&D department, project team and management personnel.
Under the large-scale personnel mobilization and resource integration of two technology companies that are currently in the limelight in Great Xia.
The storm is rising.
A commercial spy's nose is as sharp as a dog's.
Korea, Korean Star Group headquarters building.
As July came to an end, information about the new products released by Kyushu Technology was collected and placed on the desk of Lee Jianxi, the head of the Korean Star Group.
New intelligent robot, unexpected but acceptable.
But the report about the 82-inch display made Li Jianxi feel frightened and even couldn't accept it.
A company that was founded just a few years ago, its first-generation flexible OLED screen is actually better than its latest large screen this year.
And it’s not only the screen problem, but also the recent frequent personnel transfers and some material adjustments of Jiuzhou Technology and Xiawei Company investigated by commercial espionage.
Li Jianxi squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. He seemed to smell the smoke of war in the air.
