IN LIU YUN'S PLAN, THE ACT OF INVESTING IN VIVO MUST BE CARRIED OUT QUIETLY, WITHOUT LETTING OPPO KNOW.

Although these two companies were born out of the BBK Group, it is because of this background that the competition between the two brother companies will become more brutal and fierce.

People are sometimes so strange, sometimes they would rather lose to outsiders than be compared to their own people.

He plans to release the news of Yoyo's investment in VIVO after a while, when both companies launch their smartphones with great fanfare. In this way, the maximum public opinion effect can be achieved, and the two companies can also increase the healthy competition between each other.

On the occasion of the Spring Festival in 2010, Liu Yun finally completed a key layout for the mobile Internet era.

After returning to Ningjiang for a few days, he rushed to Shanghai again.

Although the headquarters of Yoyo Group is in Ningjiang, the time he spent in Hangzhou and Shanghai in a year is not less than Ningjiang.

Shanghai's Chip Research Institute - Youyou Yunsi, it is like a bottomless gold-absorbing black hole, constantly devouring Youyou's profits.

He looked at this real money, like flowing water, constantly smashing down, although he felt extremely distressed, but there was a thought that always supported himself. He hopes that the company he has created can leave his mark and a good story in this era.

At this moment, Huawei, as the world's top communication equipment manufacturer, also invests most of its profits in Huawei HiSilicon, which is also a chip research institute, every year.

In terms of profitability, as a relatively pure Internet company, Yoyo is slightly inferior to Huawei, but the R&D investment is not inferior to Huawei.

Liu Yun often asks himself, is it distressing for this money to be burned like this? Of course it is distressing!

But he's also admonishing himself. Money is something that you don't bring in life, and you don't bring it in death.

The wealth in his hands is enough to spend ten lifetimes, so why be a miser and hoard a large amount of idle funds in the company.

According to rumors, Huawei's President Ren, after hearing that the chip company established by Youyou was named Youyou Yunsi, said with some disapproval: It is understandable that young people are arrogant, but don't be sharp, and it is a fool's dream to overpower 'HiSilicon' with the name "Yunsi".

Later, Mr. Ren heard that many technical employees who left Huawei had changed jobs to Youyou, and he said unremittingly: They can only eat some of our leftovers.

Huawei's goal is in the world, and it seems that there is only Huawei in the eyes of Youyou, and from the perspective of the pattern, it seems to be inferior.

But only Liu Yun understands that most consumers don't care about this.

Li Zeguang, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said after seeing Liu Yun: "Xiaoliu, even with the most optimistic estimates, the first generation of Qingyun chips independently developed by Youyou will be officially launched, and it will have to wait until next year in 2011!"

From the beginning of research and development in 2008 to 2011, three years is also in line with Liuyun's initial expectations.

"Mr. Liu, this is the most optimistic estimate, but there is also the possibility of failure. Next to Li Zeguang, a middle-aged man wearing glasses said calmly.

This person's name is Liang Bo, who used to be an executive of Huawei HiSilicon, and through Li Zeguang's connections, he was recruited with a lot of money, and is now the technical director of Youyou Yunsi.

"Is there a possibility of failure?" Liu Yun frowned slightly after hearing this.

After spending so much money, there is still the possibility of R&D failure. When he heard this, of course, he was very surprised and disappointed.

Li Zeguang added: "Xiaoyanagi, if you think about it, if you can develop chips just by throwing money, why so few companies with deep pockets and strong economic strength invest in it, it is because these companies are worried that the money will be smashed and they will not see a return." ”

Liu Yun understands all these truths.

Chip R&D has the problems of extremely high cost, great risk and slow return.

In short, no one's money is blowing in the wind, although everyone knows that chips are important, but let me throw money into the bottomless pit, I have to weigh it carefully.

Liang Bo hesitated for a moment and continued: "Mr. Liu, let me tell you a real past case. ”

Liu Yun nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Liang Bo cleared his throat and spoke slowly: "Huawei really started research and development in 2004, but it took more than five years. They failed again and again until 2009, when they launched the first K3 processor, which was also the first time that Kirin chips appeared on the stage of history.

And before that, they kept failing and failing, accumulating experience, and trying again. The amount of money invested in this can be imagined. ”

Liu Yun sighed for a while and said, "This is considered painstaking, and it has cost too much money and manpower, and it has finally come to fruition." ”

Liang Bo nodded and said, "So to speak. ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently: "But Huawei's example also tells me." As long as you persistently persist and are willing to invest a lot of talent and money for R&D, success is only a matter of time. It's just that this is easier said than done, but it is harder to act. ”

Indeed, the R&D expenditures are so large that they can almost bring down many giant companies, and many people at the helm will choose to stop halfway in order to stop losses in order to stop losses.

Li Zeguang patted Liu Yun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaoliu, don't worry too much. After all, Yoyo Yunsi has the technical support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the pioneers have explored a way, and the latecomers will take a lot of detours, after all, they stand on the shoulders of giants. ”

This truth is easy to understand, and Liu Yun also understands it.

To take the simplest example, the first industrial revolution that broke out in the 18th and 19th centuries. It took 100 years for the UK, 50 for the US, and less than 20 for Germany.

Before Yoyo, there were already many successful chip companies, and they had enough mature experience for themselves to learn from.

As long as the funds are sufficient and willing to continue to invest, talents, technology, and equipment will always come.

"Then Dean Li has any good suggestions?"

"First of all, like Huawei HiSilicon, we will establish a design branch in the United States!"

"That's fine, I bought some of the office buildings in Silicon Valley, California. ”

"Xiaoyanagi, I didn't expect you to have considered this step, which is very good. Silicon Valley has some of the best talent in the world, and as long as the salary is right, there is no need to worry about no talent. ”

"I understand that. Several smartphones in the past and in the future have used Qualcomm's processors. I understand the Qualcomm technician compensation system, so you know ......"

"However, we still have to go both ways, and the headquarters of the Shanghai Stock Exchange must not be left behind. Koyanagi, haven't you always liked to make wool on the mattress of Taiwanese companies?"

Liu Yun nodded abruptly, revealing a meaningful smile.

At the beginning of the Yoyo mobile phone, HTC became its own stepping stone without any suspense. Now that Qingyun chip wants to be successfully developed, can I also wave the hoe to MediaTek, which is also a Taiwanese company?

Technology, talents, whether or not they can succeed in digging corners, Liu Yun is willing to try his best.

"Youyo's money is fine, right?"

"There will be no problem, just leave this to me. ”

Liu Yun nodded confidently and said again: "By the way, Manager Liang, I can make a promise to you today." ”

Liang Bo paused slightly, stared at Liu Yun with both eyes, and listened carefully.

Liu Yun pondered for a while and said: "If we can successfully develop a 30nm process, a quad-core SoC, and a Qingyun chip with Mali 450MP4 GPU graphics processor within 3 years. On the board of directors of Yoyo Group, I will leave you a place!"

This technical level of mobile phone chips will make Yunsi Qingyun among the mainstream mobile phone chips.

Liang Bo listened to Ou, his eyes flashed, and he looked a little excited. He jumped out of Huawei in order to break through the bottleneck of his career, and now there is a great opportunity in front of him.

If the planned first-generation Yoyo mobile phone chip can be successfully launched next year, it is entirely possible to upgrade the mobile phone chip to the requirements of the boss before 2013.

If it fails, then the plan for 2013 will be the moon in the mirror, and the water will be spent.

Liu Yun then said a sentence that made him feel a little relieved: "Manager Liang, the matter is man-made. We named the first-generation Yoyo chip Qingyun 800, which is a test of the waters, and the upgraded version of the Qingyun chip is named Qingyun 900. I can give a grace condition, 30nm in 2013 or 28nm in 2014. ”

Of course, he realizes that time waits for no one, and after the opening of the golden age of mobile Internet, mobile phone chip technology can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

In a few years, chips below 20nm will also emerge in an endless stream.

Therefore, Liu Yun can only give another year at most, as long as the other party can complete the task, he doesn't mind giving a position on the board.

If in 2018, that is, the time point when he was reborn, if the Qingyun chip does not meet the technical requirements of 20nm, it means that he can give up the research and development of mobile phone chips.

When the time comes, just like Xiaomi, when a "assembled mobile phone" with peace of mind and no worries, learn from Rebus to engage in some activities of limited purchase on the hour, and carry forward the monkey trick technology and reach the peak......

As for myself, it's almost time to retire.

Of course, Liu Yun did not reveal these words to the two people in front of him.

The next few years will be the key point for the YOYO series of mobile phones, whether they want to become Huawei or Xiaomi in this time and space.

"You can do it without worry, and I will find a way in terms of funding. ”

After Liang Bo left, only Liu Yun and Li Zeguang were left in the huge office.

As an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Li Zeguang is well-informed and seems to have guessed Liu Yun's thoughts.

"Xiaoyanagi, you're gambling. He said with some meaning.

"Dean Li. Liu Yun sighed lightly, "Any decision made by the helm of any company is a gamble. ”

"How long are you going to hold on?" Li Zeguang asked after thinking for a while.

"I want to ......," Liu Yun pondered for a few seconds and gave the answer, "I will persist until 2018." ”

Li Zeguang breathed a sigh of relief, which means that Yoyo has at least 8 years to go, and he will continue to burn money for Yoyo Yunsi.

"From 2008 to 2018, that's exactly 10 years. ”

"That's one of the reasons, and of course for me, 2018 may have another meaning. ”

……

Heavy snow fell, and the Spring Festival of 2010 also came as scheduled.

And for Liu Yun, there are more sighs. 2009, his naming year, has officially come to an end.

"Where will I be in the next twelve years? Have I receded into the background and not been as busy as I am now?"

This is the first time he has celebrated the New Year in Shanghai since he was reborn.

Wearing a thick down jacket, a mask and a hat, Liu Yun took the elevator to the revolving restaurant on the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Most of these restaurants are located on the top floors of skyscrapers or towers. The revolving restaurant has a track that moves under the floor, which rotates the whole restaurant 360 degrees, allowing diners to dine while enjoying the outdoor views.

The restaurant is mostly buffet and has a bird's-eye view of the city, which can be rotated.

In the Huaxia region, most of the revolving halls are located in Yanjing and Shanghai, the only two international metropolises.

But Liu Yun has a soft spot for the revolving restaurant located in the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai.

It sits amidst the 267-metre sphere of the TV Tower and is the tallest revolving restaurant in Asia.

Dining here has a unique landscape advantage and is a pleasing visual enjoyment.

Outside the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling spherical glass window, the beautiful scenery of the Pujiang River can be seen at a glance, and looking down from a height of 267 meters, there is really a heroic feeling of "being at the top of the mountain".

The welcome ladies and waiters who shuttle back and forth have built the elegant style of the Oriental Pearl with elegant clothes and standardized services.

At this moment, Liu Yun sat here, and seemed to be able to feel that he was at the top of Shencheng.

In the first few days of the Spring Festival, as a large number of office workers returned to their hometowns for the New Year, the noisy and lively Shanghai market in the past was a little more deserted at this time.

After Liu Yun entered the revolving restaurant, he walked directly into his personal VIP room.

In the private room, he took off his down jacket and hat, and in front of him, there was already a beautiful girl waiting, it was Tian Fu, who he hadn't seen for a while.

Her outfit is even richer, in addition to a mask, a hat, and a pair of cool sunglasses.

At this time, Tian Fu's popularity has become more and more popular, and he has been upgraded from a small diva in the Chinese music scene to a little diva in Asia.

And her fanatical fans have put this beautiful singer and songwriter on the altar.

"In the Chinese music scene, except for Teresa Teng, who has passed away, only Faye Wong is left alive. ”

But the so-called one fan tops ten black, such an argument made Tian Fu squeezed out by some older female singers in the music scene.

They often ask the water army to post some press releases on Weibo to hack Tian Fu.

The most talked about is the rumor between Liu Yun and Tian Fu.

But the man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, such a scandal is more like a good story in the eyes of netizens.

But those trolls have long been accustomed to telling right and wrong, and all kinds of negative news have appeared as they spread. ()
