The research institute is at the back of the manor, it is a separate building, the volume is smaller, of course, this is just a place to work, eating, sleeping and playing games still have to go to the big house in front.

Today, there are 300 employees in the headquarters of Yuanfang Technology, all of whom are research personnel. The marketing department of Yuanfang Technology is in Beijing, and there are three factories, one in Beitong and two in the south, of which the two factories in the south are all directly acquired, and Beitong is established by itself. Of course, the company has ruthless work that is outsourced, such as mobile phone cases, mobile phone motherboards, electrical wiring, body buttons, headphones, microphones, etc...... These things are all outsourced, oh, and the battery, and the battery is BYD's.

BYD was founded in 1995, starting with a scale of more than 20 people, and has grown into the world's second largest rechargeable battery manufacturer in 03 years, and established BYD Auto in the same year. BYD, which started as a battery, is nothing more than playing the role of a "layman" when it comes to building cars. It is the use of the resounding name of "independent intellectual property rights" and the acquisition of Qinchuan Automobile that BYD has a first-mover advantage over other novices. In just one year, BYD Auto's product line has rapidly expanded from the original single "Fleyer" mini-car to a full line of products including A-class fuel vehicles, C-class fuel cars, lithium-ion electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles.

Speaking of which, I have to say more, many people think that BYD is making cars, but in fact, BYD's real power is the battery.

In these years, everything has paid attention to environmental protection and new energy, and as a traditional polluting item in the automotive field, there is no doubt that new energy is no longer a new thing.

There is no doubt that new energy vehicles have become a trendy model. Not only in China, but also in other countries around the world, are advocating and promoting a large number of new energy vehicles, of course, traditional fuel companies are opposed to new energy, after all, once new energy vehicles are really developed, and can be comparable to traditional fuel vehicles, for those large energy companies, may be a big impact. But for various car companies, they don't care about this, they only care about whether their cars can occupy the market, so in the field of new energy gradually develop today, major car companies have also joined the research and development and production of new energy vehicles. In the current new energy vehicle market, Tesla and BYD are probably doing better.

Regardless of sales volume and word of mouth, these two brands are top in the field of new energy. But there is also a fundamental difference between the two.

Tesla's main mid-to-high-end models cost millions of dollars at every turn, while BYD takes the Volkswagen route, with prices basically around 20-300,000 yuan. Some people may say that BYD's cars are not as good as Tesla's? In fact, it is not correct to say this, and it can only be said that the market positioning of the two sides is different. In the field of new energy, BYD is definitely the leader in domestic cars. As early as before, BYD began to develop and produce electric vehicles. Since BYD is taking the civilian route, there are restrictions on manufacturing costs. Only in terms of battery packs, BYD uses lithium phosphate batteries, the biggest advantage of this battery is low cost, and the disadvantage is that the energy density is relatively small, so it has a certain impact on the mileage. So in order to increase the range, you have to increase the dead weight of the battery. But judging from the current BYD models, not only the cruising range is good, but also the acceleration is also very strong. Break 100 in 4.5 seconds at every turn. And the quality stability is also obvious to all. Recognized as a "road tank".

Tesla, on the other hand, is known as the "Porsche" of new energy vehicles. The reason is also very simple, that is, because it is very expensive, it is regarded as a million-level luxury car. And the battery used by Tesla is very different from BYD's battery. Tesla uses Panasonic's lithium cobalt oxide battery, which is highlighted by the fact that the unit volume is easy to be very large, which can not only reduce the weight of the vehicle itself, but also effectively improve the vehicle's endurance. The disadvantage is that the technical requirements are very high, which makes its manufacturing cost increase, which is why Tesla is so expensive for the same electric car.

So BYD is actually not worse than Tesla, if you know something about the Tesla brand, you should know one thing, that is, Tesla did not make cars at first. Nowadays, even if it is regarded as a luxury car, its various models are basically assembled, and all parts are provided by suppliers, and Tesla's best thing is only battery management technology. In contrast, BYD is a complete set of cars, so BYD cars are still very stable and solid.

It can be said that the wheel technology, BYD is the complete explosion of Tesla, Tesla's only advantage, is that the brand is relatively large, but that's all, to talk about the breadth of the market, BYD can also complete Tesla.

After all, rich people can buy cheap cars, but cheap people can't afford luxury cars, and as long as the technology is excellent, BYD can also try to develop in the direction of luxury cars, on the other hand, Tesla, because the cost remains high, so even if they want to produce low-end cars, it can't be done, because the cost can't be pressed down at all, and lowering the price will lose money.

So Tesla is actually really on its own path to a dead end, but Zhou Fangyuan still invested in Tesla, why? Very simply, even if Tesla really goes to a dead end, it will not be finished in a short time. In fact, Tesla's life will definitely not be short, after all, in the field of new energy vehicles, Tesla and BYD are now leading the way, one is responsible for the high-end market, the other is responsible for the low-end market, and other car companies are currently following up quickly, but to be honest, without a certain amount of technology accumulation, it is not easy for them to catch up immediately.

And in fact, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles are certainly more environmentally friendly and hygienic, and the future must be a major trend, but one point that must be faced, that is, new energy vehicles want to completely replace traditional vehicles, at least it takes more than ten years, which is still in the case of mature technology. Traditional fuel vehicles represent too many chains of interest, crude oil supply, gasoline production, transportation, sales...... And it must be understood that those who can get involved in these industries are basically giants among giants, and they are really the top of the big conglomerates.

Of course, in the field of new energy, various predators are now also entering the market.

It's just that the former has been entrenched, and the latter has just begun to develop, expecting that the new energy field has enough predators to compete with the traditional fuel field, which is definitely not a simple process. Therefore, new energy vehicles are not unable to develop, but if you want to completely replace fuel vehicles, you can't do it without decades, let alone replace, just say that you are on an equal footing, and it will take at least ten years or more when the technology has matured. And that's not even counting the fact that the technology is not mature right now...... Let's put it this way, from now on, if you want to make new energy vehicles really popular, Zhou Fangyuan is far from going far, look at 2030, it is good to succeed in 2030, and if you want to completely replace fuel vehicles, it will be fast in 2050.

After all, this is no longer a competition in science and technology, but a confrontation between capital and capital, competition between consortiums and consortiums, with the development of mankind, such wars have never stopped, and it is even more impossible to disappear, only with the emergence of new fields, and then a box of old fields between confrontations, and finally the new fields win, and human science and technology continue to move forward...... That's it.

The gossip is out of the way, and then let's go back to the phone.

Yuanfang Technology's chips and screens are basically outsourced, oh, the system is also its own, three factories under Yuanfang Technology, one of which is responsible for manufacturing chips, and the other two are responsible for assembling mobile phones, of course, this is far from enough, Yuanfang Technology wants to become a real giant in the mobile phone industry, and it needs to continue to expand. Next year, Yuanfang Technology plans to increase the number of subordinate factories to ten. Six of them will be assembled to ensure that each plant has an annual output of more than 200,000 units, although if the output of individual factories can continue to increase, the number of factories can be reduced accordingly.

But having said that, such a big market, the Yuanfang I series is now dominant in the field of smart phones, at most three or four years, the cost can be further reduced, and at the same time, the mobile phone product series is subdivided, all the high, medium and low grades are covered, and the annual output will reach millions of units at that time, so even if the six factories increase their output, it is hard to say whether the number of factories is enough. As for the rest of the factories, on the one hand, they still manufacture chips, and chips are different from mobile phones, chips may also be used for separate sales, in order to fund the research and development of chips, Yuanfang Technology is also poaching people everywhere, such as Microsoft, Apple, Qualcomm and Huawei, all of which have been dug into the corner by Yuanfang Technology.

Far awayI1It's carrying,It's a chip called Jiaolong,Doesn't it sound very similar to Snapdragon?

In addition, mobile phones are not all, such as tablets, smart watches, smart bracelets and other products, will be developed little by little. In addition, including headphones, screen protectors, mobile phone cases, car chargers, etc., these are also developed by themselves, fortunately, these things themselves are not difficult, or cooperate with specialized manufacturers, or completely come by yourself, as long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to do it. Even the most difficult phones have done it, what else can't do it?

Besides, Zhou Fangyuan also had an idea that he learned from the Thunder Sect Master.

In the future, in the years of his rebirth, "intelligence" has become something that everyone is familiar with, and smart homes have begun to penetrate into the daily life of ordinary people little by little.

Yuanfang Technology, not only in mobile phones, Tablet computer and other fields of development, but also more comprehensive, involved in all other areas related to daily life, based on mobile phones and other products, development and growth, and finally do the same as the previous life of Xiaomi, with a more complete home experience of all smart products, this is easy to say, money can do; but it is difficult to say, after all, it is not professional to do these things, many things have professional companies, such as sockets, domestic such as bulls, that is a very old factory, the brand is old, but also hard enough, the distant group can do smart electrical, so the bull can't do itTherefore, there will be competition, but fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan doesn't really want to dominate all industries and fields, and he can't do it at all, just like Xiaomi, to get these things out, just to make money from users as much as possible, especially those loyal users.

Not only the use of mobile phones, but also other products, but also hope that they can use products produced in distant places, and finally form an ecological closed loop in everyone's home, which is the general trend of the future.

Well, it's far away again, but I don't really want to, I just talk and digress.

Zhou Fangyuan came to the headquarters of Yuanfang Technology, and after he first saw the various development progress in the large office building in front, he turned around and entered the research institute behind.

Andy already knew that he was coming, and was already waiting at the door.

The two met and embraced, and then Zhou Fangyuan followed Andy into the research institute.

"How far has it been developed now?"

Zhou Fangyuan asked.

What he was asking, Andy knew very well, so Andy smiled.

"I have to say, Zhou, you are really going to give me a chance, in fact, I just had some results on my side, and you came, and even made me wonder for a while, whether you put any monitoring equipment on me, you know my every move. ”

Andy said with some exaggeration.

Zhou Fangyuan shrugged when he heard this.

"According to our Chinese saying, I am actually the roundworm in your stomach, and I know what you want. ”

"Wow, that's horrible, but luckily, you're not really a bug. ”

"So, Andy, can you tell me about your latest achievements?"

"Of course, please come with me. ”

Andy led the way with a smile, and took Zhou Fangyuan to a huge room, this room was empty, no furniture was placed, but there were many devices, one of which was connected to many lines, some of these lines were linked to computers, some were linked to display screens, and there were more than a dozen wires, which were linked to a small helmet.

"This is our latest achievement now, the VR headset, although it is still very clumsy, but it doesn't matter, as long as the technology is mature, we can reduce its size at any time, don't you want to ask me how far I have developed it now? I just say that maybe it's not convincing, why don't you bring it yourself and try it? I think I should be able to give you a little surprise. ”

Andy said, picked up the helmet, and motioned for Zhou Fangyuan to put it on.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at Andy, then stepped forward with a smile and let the other party put the helmet on his head.
