Chapter 275: It is impossible to charge fees

But not all Western media are positive, and most of them are not positive and honest media.

As a highly politicized and privatized media, marketization will naturally lead to bad business practices that often occur in the market.

Ignoring science, ignoring the truth, talking nonsense and wantonly smearing.

Relying everything on ideology is the Western media that calls for objectivity, neutrality, and freedom of speech.

For example, if a Western celebrity says that Daxia's high-speed rail construction is great, faster and more high-tech than Britain and the United States, then this person will be directly labeled as pro-China by some major media.

Western media often use a very deceptive persuasion routine: being objective and neutral on small matters, and containing private information on major matters.

Therefore, some media, such as the New York Times, published a very interesting title - "Are Foreign Systems Safe?"

The content of the article is actually very "neutral", and the importance of mobile phone systems is written very professionally, but the style suddenly changes at the end.

Android and Pingguo are our own. We can choose to believe that the Gonggong system is foreign. Should we put so much personal privacy on an outsider's company server?

That was a company founded by Kaina, a country where cameras are everywhere on the streets and there is no privacy whatsoever.

When Gu Qing saw this report, he suddenly felt a little boring.

Yes, that’s the feeling you get after you’re done.

Although he couldn't recite the full text of how these foreign media slandered China in his previous life, he could read a lot in passing.

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

However, no matter how loud these crows are, they can't stop the Gonggong system from being installed on the mobile phone...

The 7-nanometer process lithography machine manufactured by Jiuzhou Technology SS1MB light source successfully taped out the Kirin 990 5G chip on Xiaxin Technology's new production line.

And because the wafers are supplied by manufacturers in Daxia, the prices are very affordable, and the quality is strictly selected. The yield rate is very cute under the processing of the new photolithography machine.

With top-notch photolithography machines, low prices and a very good yield rate, will mobile phone chips still be bad?

Kirin HiSilicon chips can be mass-produced by Xiaxin Technology. When Mr. Ren learned the news, he was very happy and secretly drank two sips of Erguotou.

Of course, HiSilicon is not the only player in domestic mobile phone chips, there is also a big player - Lianfa.

Also considered a well-known manufacturer of mobile phone processors, Ryukyu Lianfa joined the Android Alliance in July 2010.

At that time, Android was still a new operating system. Although the bet was right, in the subsequent market competition, due to supply chain and corporate background reasons, most mobile phone manufacturers chose Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, and then the two There are two ambitious companies, Pingguo’s independent chip and Xia Wei’s HiSilicon Kirin chip.

However, although there are not many manufacturers, at present, there are only five manufacturers in the world that have the ability to independently develop and design high-end mobile phone chips, namely Qualcomm, Pingguo, Korean Star, HiSilicon Kirin and Lianfa Technology.

Now the launch of domestic lithography machines is like the opening of a new track.

Kirin has mature experience in hardware matching and adaptation and can supply chips to other manufacturers, and Lianfa can do the same.

But there are also some problems. =

Now that mobile phone manufacturers using Qualcomm chips switch to Lianfa chips, the problem of adapting system algorithms to hardware and software cannot be ignored.

For example, one of the most important features of flagship smartphones now is the camera function.

The quality of the photo does not only depend on the quality of the lens. The CPU processor also needs to be involved in the photo algorithm. The higher the pixels, the higher the requirements on the CPU.

And Lianfake really has a long history. Old news about PPT chips, too high power consumption, unstable performance, and high prices have made mobile phone manufacturers afraid to sign large quantities of orders for use.

So will this market be given over to HiSilicon and the Kirin family?

of course not.

Ziguang is also making mobile phone chips, but they are not high-end enough and focus on the Indian and African markets.

As for the ppt chip of a certain meter?

That's really just a gimmick. Designing a chip cannot be done in two or three years unless all patents such as architecture and design are licensed.

As a large household appliance manufacturing company, Jiuzhou Technology's products such as sweeping robots require CPUs, and bionic mechanical prostheses also require chips to run intelligent programs.

Therefore, Jiuzhou Technology’s Titanium chips are only manufactured by Xiaxin Technology for its own use and are not sold outside. Of course, the performance and manufacturing process cannot be compared with the latest Kirin chips.

This is a back-up, and Gu Qing does not intend to use it casually. After all, the scale of the semiconductor industry is too huge, and it is impossible for Jiuzhou Technology to control the chips from the source to the factory.

If that day really comes, it will either be split up or the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will move in.

Lianfake has a dark history, but as Ryukyu Province is a province of Daxia, Lianfake is still a Daxia company, so now many mobile phone manufacturers are also using Lianfek chips to develop mobile phones for this part of the market.

Mastering the latest lithography machines will be able to clamp down on chip foundries and chip design manufacturers, and the mobile phone manufacturers that supply these chips will naturally not be able to give Jiuzhou Technology a bad face.

So a new round of tests has come for domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

The Gonggong system opens up some of its permissions, and only charges 1% of the profits from the system software every year as management optimization fees.

Will domestic mobile phone manufacturers follow suit?

Either continue to be a good boy of Google, or enter the circle of Jiuzhou Technology.

As for what Google does with Android, such as charging or doing something else, that's even more impossible.

The EU Competition Authority is investigating Google's abuse of Android's market monopoly by pre-installing Google's own search, app market and other services exclusively.

Of course, this is not a secret matter.

A large number of Android phones are shipped with a series of Google applications pre-installed because manufacturers have to comply with Google's requirements.

The reason for Google’s opposition is even simpler: Android is developed by Google, which spends a lot of resources to pre-install its own applications for free, and charging platform advertising fees is almost the only way to make money.

Of course, Gu Qing agrees with Google's statement, but he is not optimistic that Google can escape unscathed.

After all, Microsoft has been fined before for bundling IE with Windows systems.

And if Android wants to change its profit model and charge for licensing, it is even more impossible. This involves the core of the Android system.

The Android kernel uses Linux and needs to follow the GPL v2 agreement. Not only cannot it be closed source, but the newly added code must also be open source, so that third-party manufacturers can use and modify it.

In other words, if Android wants to charge money, it will need to start from scratch and re-develop a new Android kernel. For Google, this is simply picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons.
