Chapter Ninety-Eight: Jiang Yan's Confidence

Jiang Yan's confidence lies in the fact that the video decoding chip is completely independently designed, and under the leadership of Wang Anran in the early stage, video decoding, audio decoding, digital/analog conversion and auxiliary chips are fully integrated into one chip.

This has the great advantage of minimizing the difficulty of designing and producing PCB integrated circuit boards.

With the same functional components, the process is reduced by 40%, resulting in a significant cost reduction.

This method used to be Qualcomm's magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

As we all know, Qualcomm entered the mobile phone processor relatively late, in 2007 he released the first Snapdragon S1 processor is, Texas Instruments, Toshiba, MediaTek have released their own mobile phone chip processors, and in the same period of performance, completely beat the Snapdragon S1 processor.

But why was Qualcomm able to kill the same period and grow into an oligarch in the industry?

That is, Qualcomm has been deeply cultivating its technical advantages in the field of CDMA communication for many years, and each Qualcomm Snapdragon processor has integrated communication baseband.

Compared with Texas Instruments' processor external baseband, Snapdragon's integrated baseband advantage is undoubtedly much greater.

First of all, in terms of power consumption, Qualcomm can be significantly ahead of its opponents, of course, the most important point is that the integrated baseband can greatly reduce the difficulty of manufacturers to design mobile phones.

Therefore, once the Snapdragon S1 was launched, although it was weak in performance, it was still quite popular with mobile phone manufacturers.

In addition, Qualcomm has a patent alliance, as long as he buys his products, he can package and license the entire set of patents.

Although manufacturers need to pay a lot of patent fees on each mobile phone, compared to the fact that manufacturers find various patent sources for authorization, plus the difficulty of integrating patents, everyone still rushes to pay this fee.

With such an advantage, there is no reason not to be popular.

Jiang Yan naturally wants to learn from this model.

In the past few months, Rebus has brought profound changes to Jiang Yan.

First of all, as soon as Rebus came to power, he wiped out all those middle and high-level managers who usually ate people and did not do personnel, no matter who you are, as long as you are in the way, you would rather kill a thousand than miss a single person.

Compared to technical talents, ordinary managers have a lot of grabs in this country.

Among them, the management naturally complained, complained to Huaxin Technology many times, and asked to convene a board discussion.

was rejected by Wang Anran.

What's wrong with your 60% stake in the capital, Jiang Yan's lifeblood is in the hands of Huaxin Technology, and the research institute that cooperates with Huaxin Technology is also led by Huaxin Technology.

Although CVD technology is exclusively licensed to Jiang Yan, don't forget that although Huaxin Technology cannot be licensed to other companies, it can also do it yourself.

Decoding chips, EDA software, minicomputers...... A series of products all declare the strong R&D capabilities of Huaxin Technology.

This puts more pressure on Jiang Yan's management than a little devil.

The ending of tearing her face can be predicted, and Jiang Yan will be miserable.

Therefore, Rebus opened and closed in Jiang Yan, and the management just said that he dared to make any moves.

Of course, this is also what Wang Anran wants to see, the adjustment of the organizational structure must be fast, otherwise it will evolve into infighting, before you react, do things first, and then talk about the conditions.

Of course, the adjustment of the organizational structure is to prepare for development.

Rebus has strengthened the weight of two departments, one is the R&D department, and the other is the sales department.

The chip is foundry, and the original self-produced PCB board is now also outsourced for foundry, the reason is very simple, the technical content of the PCB board is very low, but it really needs to be processed, and the investment in equipment and plant is very large.

The original Jiang Yan had a large amount of money, which was all pressed on equipment and plants, which was completely a burden for Jiang Yan.

"Mr. Wang, this is my plan, now Wan Yan is only responsible for assembly, of course, in the future, even assembly can be cut with one knife, Jiang Yan is only responsible for design and sales.

As for production, there are too many half-dead electronics factories in the country now, they need orders, we give them orders, and the cost is cheaper than if we did it ourselves. ”

Wang Anran asked on the phone: "Then how do you ensure the quality?"

Rebus said: "Mr. Wang, my idea is this, each foundry is numbered separately, the factory DVD player, can be traced back to the factory workshop, the installation of workers, just like the wall tiles on the Ming city wall, if there is a quality problem, the foundry will face a huge fine, of course, this is only one aspect, we will also send quality inspectors to help manage the quality." ”

Wang Anran nodded, and asked again: "Mr. Lei, what do you think about the next step of research and development?" ”

Wang Anran saw that Rebus had increased the R&D department, and he was also puzzled, and he had the impression that VCD had not played any tricks in history, and as it was now, Jiang Yan could at least eat the old book for ten years.

When the time comes, go around Wall Street in the United States, ring the bell on the NASDAQ, and before the advent of the Internet era, sell Jiang Yan to the unlucky ghost in the United States, and wait until the stock price falls, and then buy the brand back.

This is Wang Anran's plan, obviously, Rebus doesn't think so.

"Mr. Wang, my idea is to develop a set of home teaching and entertainment center ......"

"How?"

Rebus paused and said: "The future Wanyan DVD is not a simple DVD player, but a multi-functional entertainment platform that integrates Xiaobawang learning machine, PS game console, DVD player, and karaoke entertainment center......"

“............”

How bold a man is, how prolific the land is.

Is there a future? Wang Anran didn't know, and no manufacturer had tried it in his previous life.

But it's worth trying, if successful, it can give the VCD another ten years.

"Mr. Wang, we have surveyed, all Chinese families have the intention to let their children learn computers by tens of millions, but expensive computers let them just stay on the idea, but simple typing and simple BASIC programming can be learned in the first step, and there are tens of thousands ......of typing programming training courses in the whole country."

"Mr. Lei, but our VCD is not cheap!"

Rebus shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Wang, our VCD is very cheap, and after adding a simple typing function, we can also do less than 1,000 pieces, if we can integrate the functional chip into the main chip, maybe the cost will be lower." ”

This is a surprise for Wang Anran, but why choose BASIV programming, why promote the project led by Microsoft.

"Let's change to C language, and popularize the basic tutorial, you are also a programming ape, you should know very well that if you are proficient in C language, there will be no difficulty in learning any computer language......"

After Wang Anran finished speaking, he felt stunned, as if he was missing something, and when he thought that the Internet era was coming, Wang Anran suddenly thought of the Java language tailored to the Internet.

Now that Java has not yet been born, Huaxin Technology can take the first step......
