Chapter 477: Huawei enters the field of mobile phones

"Chengdong, how did Huanyu Technology get that chip open source plan?"

"It's attracting a lot of people's attention. ”

"Oh, didn't you say they weren't very technical?"

"The main thing is that they throw a lot of money at it. ”

Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei asked that Yu Chengdong was a little embarrassed.

Although when Huanyu Technology first launched the chip open source plan, many people were indeed not optimistic.

One thinks they don't have the strength.

The other thinks they don't have the technology.

Others think that Huanyu Technology is not qualified.

In short, all kinds are not optimistic.

But no matter whether others look at it or not, money still carries a lot of weight in this world.

Just like the first task of chip open source, chip design scheme.

The fund of 10 million is very attractive to many people.

This includes quite a few professors from abroad.

For example, there is a professor in Massachusetts who is an expert in chip design. If you want to say that chip design itself is not difficult, the difficulty is to make an ecosystem. But even so, because there are basically only a few chips in this world, sometimes even if you have the technical strength, you don't have the opportunity to make chips.

And no one is going to make chips either.

For this reason, many times, the professor has no skills but no use.

Therefore, for the so-called chip design scheme, the professor immediately sent his latest research to the Universal Chip Forum.

I have to say that the plan proposed by the MIT professor has stimulated all the world's technology experts at once.

The chip architecture design is not only available in Massachusetts, but also in Harvard, Jianqiao, and other European countries.

They are also often unable to use their technical prowess.

The Huanyu Chip Open Source Forum gave them an opportunity.

After the Massachusetts professor released the chip scheme, professors from universities in other countries followed suit.

Of course, for this, Tsinghua University and Peking University, the top universities in China, are not idle.

They set up a project to conduct a special study of chip architecture.

"Hey, this chip design is good. ”

"Wow, Harvard's is a little bit better. ”

"The former IBM engineer actually made a move, this cow. ”

"Tsinghua University and Peking University on the Chinese side have such in-depth research, it seems that the strength of the Chinese side is not weak. ”

Originally, it was a series of colleges and universities that were involved.

Later, it slowly evolved into a carnival feast for all technology experts.

Although their original intention was to get 10 million yuan.

After all, there is not a penny, even if they have the technology and there is no place for it, they are too lazy to share it with you.

But under the attraction of interests, a series of technologies, ideas, and academics collide here.

This situation also made Ren Zhengfei more and more interested.

They Huawei itself started with technology.

It's just that although Huawei started with technology, it does not have cutting-edge technology.

A lot of some cutting-edge technology is in the hands of other people, and they can only take the low-end part at the moment.

The chip open source plan of Huanyu Technology is very attractive.

If this plan is successful, it will be of great help to Huawei.

Of course, if Motorola does not give up its acquisition of Huawei this year.

Perhaps Ren Zhengfei has considered retirement.

Yes.

A few months ago, Motorola officially issued an intention to acquire Huawei.

In addition, the two companies also signed a letter of intent to acquire.

It could almost be said that the acquisition was a foregone conclusion.

At that time, Ren Zhengfei and all the executives of Huawei had already gone on vacation.

They are ready to enjoy life.

At that time, Motorola's offer for Huawei was 50 billion.

With this huge amount of money, there is basically no need to worry about anything in the future.

But that's it.

The world is so incredible, sometimes even if you want to sell, you may not be able to sell.

Although Motorola signed a letter of intent with Huawei at that time, Motorola suddenly changed its CEO a few months ago, and the new CEO believed that Huawei was not worth 50 billion yuan, and finally abandoned the acquisition of Huawei.

The change in drama made Ren Zhengfei very helpless.

After hurriedly ending the holiday and returning to Huawei, Ren Zhengfei made a decision to make Huawei the best existence in the world.

He doesn't want to be constrained by other companies anymore.

What he wants to do is for him to change other people, not to be changed by other people.

"Throwing money to break the chip dead game, I have to say that this move is very clever. Unfortunately, there are many companies in this world that may not be able to work even if they throw money at them. ”

This is not only a company, but even sometimes it is extremely difficult to raise the power of a country.

"By the way, how are Huanyu Technology's mobile phones selling recently. ”

"This ......"

This question made Yu Chengdong even more embarrassed.

"What, no data?"

"Although there is no specific data, it is basically certain that their fourth-generation mobile phones are on fire again. Moreover, it is even more popular than before. ”

"Hehe, Chengdong, haven't you always been arrogant, how about now, you were hit by Huanyu Technology. ”

"It's fine. ”

Although he said that, to be honest, Yu Chengdong was indeed hit by Huanyu Technology.

Before, he not only looked down on the technology of Huanyu Technology, but also despised the mobile phone of Huanyu Technology.

But now, people just don't have any technology, and they just sell mobile phones so well.

"Yes, there is, if there is no, there is none, are you embarrassed to admit it?"

Ren Zhengfei was very calm: "Is there a prototype of them?"

"Yes, I'll find it for you. ”

Yu Chengdong made a phone call and asked the secretary to send the fourth-generation Tianyu mobile phone to the office.

As Yu Chengdong, who has always dreamed of entering the mobile phone, he has been analyzing Tianyu mobile phones recently.

So as soon as the fourth-generation Tianyu mobile phone came out, Yu Chengdong immediately bought dozens of them back to study.

"This doesn't seem to be any different from the third generation. ”

Ren Zhengfei took over the fourth-generation Tianyu mobile phone.

Compared with the third generation of giant screens, the exterior design of the fourth generation has not changed much.

Not only the appearance, but even the function is exactly the same as the third generation.

"There are still changes, but they only change a small place. ”

"Where. ”

"You look at the front side of your phone, there's a light bulb here?"

"What is this light bulb for, is it a flashlight?"

"Yes. ”

Yu Chengdong nodded.

"What a flashlight. ”

Ren Zhengfei laughed out loud at this.

"Interesting, interesting...... I'll use it. ”

The operation is very convenient, just press the button of the flashlight, and this electric bubble will emit a beam of light.

Although there is not much technical content, although it is about the same as a regular flashlight.

Even, he is not as bright as a regular flashlight.

But when the mobile phone was combined with a flashlight, Ren Zhengfei seemed to see a new technology product.

"Chengdong, do you really want to make a mobile phone?"

"Mr. Ren, did you agree?"

"Well...... this"

Looking at Yu Chengdong, Ren Zhengfei smiled slightly.

He naturally knew that Yu Chengdong had always wanted to make mobile phones.

Of course, not only Yu Chengdong, there are many people in Huawei who want to make mobile phones.

After all, although Huawei's business is doing well now, it is all terminal technology, and there is little involvement in the civilian field.

But everyone knows that the civilian field is the most profitable.

If it weren't for Ren Zhengfei's pressure, maybe Huawei would have made mobile phones a long time ago.

"I didn't say yes. ”

Ren Zhengfei still shook his head: "Our Huawei is still a communication technology company in the end. ”

Just after saying this sentence, Ren Zhengfei changed his words: "However, at a certain level, mobile phones are also a kind of communication technology. So, if you want to make a mobile phone, although I won't be particularly supportive, I am not against it. ”
