Chapter 869 Turnkey Model(1/2)
Coming out of the conference room of the classification society, heavy snow was still falling in the sky. The auspicious snow heralded a good harvest. It seemed that this year's harvest was good.
Qin Tao thought this as he walked towards his high-end Hongqi car. Just when he was about to open the door, a person jumped out.
"Mr. Ni?" Qin Tao was surprised: "Why are you here?"
"Mr. Qin, it's too cold outside, so I'm waiting for you in the car. I'm here this time..."
"Let's talk about it after we get in the car."
If you are cold, don't you know that I am cold too? Qin Tao looked at him speechlessly.
"Oh." Mr. Ni nodded and opened the car door: "Mr. Qin, you get in first."
"What's the priority?" Qin Tao pushed him into the car, and then followed him up. He blew the heater inside and warmed his whole body. This down jacket is not as warm as a military coat.
"What's the matter?" Qin Tao asked Mr. Ni.
Mr. Ni took out a small box from his pocket, which contained a small black chip: "Mr. Qin, this is a mobile phone chip we made specifically for the communications market. Its main frequency is 460 megabits.
Hertz, it integrates both audio and video decoding modules, as well as G baseband. We believe that this chip has reached the highest level of mobile phone chips, so we will bring it over for you to take a look at."
Loongson is a computer chip company, but according to Qin Tao, the computer market will shrink in twenty years, and the mobile phone market will develop by then. People will replace their mobile phones every two years, but computers may last ten years.
.
Therefore, Loongson has also begun to get involved in the mobile phone chip industry, and it is determined to be the strongest.
Regardless of the processor frequency or other performance, they are all the strongest, and they are all integrated into one chip!
The chips of mobile phones are also constantly developing. In the first mobile phone, that is, in the 1G era, mobile phones only had call functions, and the chip in the mobile phone was the baseband. In the g era, not only calls are required, but text messages, games, and Internet access functions are also required.
, only the baseband chip is not enough, a special CPU chip must be added. In the later stages of g, mobile phones also have audio and video functions, so related chips must be added.
Now, what Loongson is making is a chip that can adapt to the late g era, and its performance is the strongest among the chips currently available.
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, this chip looks pretty good. What are you going to do next?"
"Mr. Qin, we don't know either." Mr. Ni said: "We don't know whether we provide complete machines like Loongson Computer, or whether we only provide chips."
Providing complete machines will definitely make more profits, but at the same time, it will also involve the energy of Loongson Company. After all, their main business is not complete machines, but chips. They developed by developing chips. However, if they only provide
Chip, then who will it be provided to?
"If you want our domestic electronics industry to develop, I think it is a good solution to only provide chips." Qin Tao said: "This can drive the development of our country's entire mobile phone industry."
"Industrial Development?"
"Yes, most of the current mobile phone brands are from foreign countries, such as Motorola and Nokia. There are still very few domestic mobile phone brands. We provide a turnkey model to support their development."
"Turnkey model?" Mr. Ni was a little curious. Mr. Qin often said these words that were difficult to understand, but very interesting. What did this mean?
"Mr. Ni, have you bought a house?" Qin Tao asked.
"The work unit allocates houses, what kind of house should I buy?"
"Oh, then I suggest you buy a few houses. The salary you earn is useless in the bank. It is better to buy a house. This can also support the development of the country's economy. What do you think?"
"Mr. Qin, since you suggest so, I will buy it to support the country." Mr. Ni nodded: "Then when you say turnkey, do you mean buying a house?"
"That's right, it means buying a house. When the house is built, it's time to hand over the keys. When you take the key and look at the house you bought, you can find that the inside of your house has been decorated, with floors and wooden doors.
You can just move the furniture in and live in it." Qin Tao said: "Our turnkey model is just like buying a house. We not only provide chips, we also provide chip supporting systems and even software integration. This can
Leave it to Goose Factory, so that our downstream mobile phone manufacturers only need to adjust the appearance of the mobile phone and the system interface. They don't even need to have their own factory, they just need to find an OEM to produce it."
Nowadays, all mobile phone manufacturers are giants, such as Nokia, Motorola, and Siemens. They are all very arrogant. An ordinary brick phone can be sold for several thousand yuan, and all the profits are made by them. This is absolutely not allowed!
Since our Loongson Company has entered the field of mobile phones, we must allow the public to use cheap mobile phones!
"If downstream mobile phone manufacturers don't even need a factory, a group of speculators will inevitably appear." Mr. Ni thought of something and continued: "They enter this mobile phone market not to really engage in the mobile phone industry, but just to make money.
A little extra money.”
"Then let them make money. When they make money, they will inevitably expand investment and continue to speculate. This will quickly expand our mobile phone industry chain and allow us to have a complete mobile phone industry chain in China." Qin Tao said: "I
I also hope to see a hundred flowers blossoming in our country, with hundreds of mobile phone brands emerging, and then the waves will wash away the sand, and the industry leaders will be left behind."
What Qin Tao said is of course encouraging copycat phones.
In the era of g mobile phones, MediaTek adopted a turnkey model, which quickly allowed MediaTek to gain a foothold in the mobile phone market and occupy a large share of the low-end. It also cultivated countless copycat mobile phone brands. They look like Apple, but in fact there is something inside.
With the heart of MediaTek, MediaTek has earned the reputation as the father of copycat phones. In the g era, Qualcomm's radio frequency system has also embarked on this turn-key path.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is a very important business acumen: should you make money yourself or drive everyone to make money?
Apple is a typical example of making money on its own. No matter what they do, they have to build a closed system, build their own ecology, and not let outsiders get involved. If it weren't for a period of time when their technical strength was not enough, they would even build their own CPUs.
MediaTek is a typical example of everyone making money together. They only sell chips and provide all supporting packages. Any copycat manufacturer can easily produce a qualified mobile phone under the guidance of MediaTek. Regardless of how many months it can be used, at least it still looks the same.
Thing.
Of course it is possible for Loongson to follow Apple's approach, but this will only allow Loongson to develop as a company, and will not be able to drive the development of the entire country's electronics industry. Only one company that is strong is not truly powerful, and everyone needs to be strong together.
It's really strong!
From this perspective, the turnkey model is naturally better.
Just like the later generations, they shout for cars every day, but they just don't admit it. They have always publicly declared: We don't build cars!
Why is this? Even Apple is clamoring to build a car, but Apple actually doesn’t build one? Of course they have a bigger plan: We don’t build cars because we are not proficient in building cars, but we hope to
Match all cars with our intelligent systems! Is it more profitable to build a brand of cars independently, or to monopolize the intelligent systems of all brands of cars? You must know that the core technology of electric vehicles is the intelligent system.
If Loongson makes mobile phones, it is definitely better to take all domestic mobile phone companies under its umbrella and let them make more money as downstream manufacturers. Those who produce complete machines will never make as much money as those who produce chips. As the industry develops, money will be made, so why not
for?
"Mr. Qin, I understand, we will follow your plan." Mr. Ni said: "We will use this turnkey model to provide complete supporting and integration solutions to downstream manufacturers! Let us develop the mobile phone industry domestically and
Suppress imported mobile phones!"
Qin Tao nodded: "If we want to suppress imported mobile phones, we must not only rely on low prices, but more importantly, quality. Our mobile phone chips have the most advanced performance, and we also need to carry out reasonable designs. The current mobile phone design solutions can no longer satisfy
Our needs are over.”
In terms of the structure of mobile phones, they are divided into two types: candy bar phones and clamshell phones. When clamshell phones first came out, they amazed the world, won the favor of many users, and quickly became mainstream.
First, the lower flip phone appeared, which functioned as a microphone and protected the buttons. Later, the upper flip phone appeared, with the screen and keyboard folded in half. Now this kind of flip phone is the most popular.
However, with the entry of Loongson into this market, mobile phones will return to the era of candy bars from clamshell phones.
"Mr. Qin, please speak."
"Our chip performance is strong enough, and we already have advanced LCD displays. I think our mobile phones can be equipped with a large enough screen so that they can display the most content. By the way, touch screen technology has already passed the test, right?
?”
"Well, I just need some guidance." Mr. Ni said.
"Then our mobile phones are represented by large screens." Qin Tao said: "Omit a large number of physical buttons, put all the numeric keys on the screen, and only keep the power on and off and sound buttons, plus at most answer and hang up calls.
Buttons and such a large screen can display enough content and can also enhance the quality of our mobile phones."
This will be a revolution in the field of mobile phones!
Mr. Ni couldn't help but take out his mobile phone: Nokia 3310, a small body with a slightly wider middle, a yellowish screen, and small buttons below, which also contains a small game like Snake. This mobile phone
It is already common in this era.
Next, the large-screen mobile phone we are going to develop will definitely be heaven and earth compared to this!
Mr. Ni was full of expectations.
"With the big screen, our mobile phones can not only make calls, read text messages, and play some small games, but also have many other uses." Qin Tao said: "For example, we can open spreadsheets and word processing programs.
You can read various files, use our icq, and make calls and videos when there is wifi.”
Mr. Ni held a pen and paper in his hand and quickly recorded the ideas put forward by Qin Tao. Seeing his appearance, Qin Tao smiled: "Think about it, if there is such a mobile phone, can you use it?"
The recording function can directly record what I say, which is much more convenient."
Mr. Ni nodded: "Mr. Qin, in this way, our mobile phone functions will be more powerful!"
"That's of course, but it's not the most powerful yet. When technology develops in the future, mobile phones will be even more powerful and can even replace many functions of computers."
At best, it is at the stage of multimedia machines and has not yet developed into the stage of smartphones. With the level of current chips, it is impossible to directly install various operating systems.
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Mr. Ni was full of yearning: "What will the mobile phones look like in the future?"
"In the future, there is no need to build in all programs. Users can install programs according to their needs, and all walks of life can develop their business on mobile phones." When Qin Tao said this, what came to mind: "By the way, our mobile phones can have built-in GPs."
Chip?"
"This is also possible. We can provide this kind of technical solution in our turnkey model."
"Okay, let's integrate GP into it, and our mobile phones can also navigate. This kind of product exists as a high-end product."
Nowadays, a single satellite navigation terminal can be sold for several thousand yuan and is directly integrated into a mobile phone. Those who specialize in selling navigation terminals have to cry and faint in the toilet.
Who says that copycat phones can't be high-end? A phone integrated in this way is not too expensive to sell for 10,000 yuan. After all, it is equipped with the most advanced chips developed by Loongson Company.

At this time, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the hospital, and Mr. Ni's mission to find Mr. Qin was basically completed.
