Chapter 751: Qilin and Qingyun appear successively (one change)
After taking over QQ, Yoyo has successively introduced a series of reform measures.
First of all, you can recharge QQ members through QQ Wallet and Youxin Wallet, and you can get a 9% discount.
Then, at Liu Yundi's insistence, he canceled the yellow diamonds of QQ space without hesitation, and retained the blue diamonds of QQ games and the red diamonds of QQ show.
All the value-added parts of QQ Zone will be open to netizens for free.
According to the original trend, in the next few years, the popularity of QQ Space will continue to decline, and even remain in a semi-deserted state.
But even so, it didn't affect Penguin's money plan in the slightest.
It turns out that many free features need to be opened to enjoy Yellow Diamond.
This made many netizens complain at the time: The penguin really fell into the eyes of money.
In addition to the trend of the times, the endless value-added projects are also a major reason for the end of QQ Zone.
Now that QQ has changed owners, Liu Yun hopes to revitalize QQ space by canceling the yellow diamond.
In the era of mobile Internet, QQ Space has a lot to offer.
Not only that, Yoyo is also ready to vigorously promote QQ Pay, which goes hand in hand with today's Uxin Pay.
Uxin payment is the focus, but QQ payment also has to increase its promotion efforts.
The era of QR code scanning payment is about to open, and in the face of the strength of Ali Alipay, there is also an extra bargaining chip in the hand.
......
Time flies, early 2013.
Shanghai, Youyo Yunsi R&D Building.
In the years since the establishment of this company, Liu Yun has not known how much cash and silver has been thrown into it.
If he has any unfulfilled wishes after being reborn, only the chip of the mobile phone remains.
Today, the Qingyun 100 chip has entered the testing stage and is ready to be put into the market in 2013.
However, Qingyun 100 is a new chip product, mass production is obviously unrealistic, and it is impossible to immediately let all models of mobile phones use Qingyun chips.
But even so, the CPU architecture and GPU architecture of Qingyun 100 are authorized by ARM, that is to say, they are all public designs of ARM.
In particular, Yoyo itself does not have independent production capacity, and all of it is completed by TSMC foundry.
SMIC in mainland China is also a company engaged in wafer foundry, which has made rapid progress in recent years, and has successively dug up a lot of capable backbones from TSMC.
But the gap between the two is still very obvious, which makes it impossible for giant companies such as Yoyo and Huawei to put orders in their hands.
Even if Liu Yun is a traverser, he can lay out in advance, form the Huaxia Android Mobile Phone Alliance, work together to develop HarmonyOS several years in advance, and accelerate the development of Huaxia smartphones, but he still can't break through the blockade of the "Wassenaar Agreement".
This is not something he can do, after all, the traverser is not omnipotent.
What's more, in this era, a high-end product is difficult to be completed by a company independently, and requires the full cooperation of all parties.
Samsung, Apple, Qualcomm's CPUs are also not completely self-developed.
Even so, Yoyo's investment in chip research and development over the past few years is an astronomical amount, although there is still technical support from the Chinese Academy of Sciences behind it.
Due to the technical strength of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yoyo has taken many detours, and the gap between it and Huawei in scientific research capabilities has been narrowed a lot, and there is even a tendency to catch up, but things in the world are not everything as expected.
At this moment, Liu Yun was a little disappointed, but he still accepted the result calmly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. At this time, Li Zeguang has retired from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and served as the leader of Youyou Yunsi, "Huawei is one step ahead of us after all, and they will officially launch the Kirin core next month - Kirin 910, and we may need three more months." ”
Huawei's previous chips were all named after the letter K, and it was not until this Kirin 910 that it was a high-end mobile phone chip in the real sense.
"Dean Li, it's okay to be a little earlier or a little later. Liu Yun smiled indifferently, "I don't care about this No. 1 false name." Great products will bounce tickets, as long as they can succeed in the market and win word of mouth, it doesn't hurt to be late. ”
From the analysis of time, Huawei launched the Kirin 910 half a year earlier than another time and space.
The reason for the analysis given by Liu Yun is that the development speed of Huaxia smartphones is much faster than that of another time and space.
Yoyo is a leader and rushes ahead, and it is impossible for later mobile phone manufacturers to follow step by step, step by step, they will inevitably accelerate their pace.
Another reason is the establishment of the Huaxia Android Mobile Phone Alliance, which is also the reason for this variable.
Such a result is produced by a combination of various butterfly effects.
Not long ago, the third Xiaomi company in the alliance also established a wholly-owned subsidiary called Songuo Electronics under Lei Jun's dictatorship, which was also a year earlier than another time and space.
Youyou and Huawei are in the front, and Rebus, who is also unwilling to be behind, seems to want to try the field of mobile phone chips.
Like in his previous life, he named the chip independently developed by Xiaomi as the surging chip with high interest, and even held a press conference for this purpose.
Rebus inherited his "sassy operation" as always, and vowed that this would be a product that would make users orgasmic, but the final result may only be to make Xiaomi itself "orgasm".
However, the changes in the timeline of these events also convinced Liu Yun that because of his butterfly effect, many things can no longer be considered with fixed thinking.
"After March, the mobile phone that matches this Qingyun 100 will choose YOYO D1?" Liu Yun thought for a while and gave his thoughts.
D stands for DREAM, and this mobile phone that is about to be launched on the market can be seen as the first in the Yoyo Dream series.
It will carry the original dream in Liu Yun's heart for several years.
"Yes, no problem!" Li Zeguang nodded, full of confidence, "From the technical level analysis, Qingyun 100 and Kirin 910 are at the same level, 28nm process, 4-core 1.6GHz high-speed processor + 4-core Mali450 GPU." ”
Liu Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he groaned for a while.
For smartphones, Qingyun 100 and Kirin 910 are both entry-level mobile phone chips.
The pricing of these two mobile phones will not exceed 1200 yuan, and if the sales are not ideal, it may even drop to about 1000 yuan, which is a veritable thousand-yuan machine.
But everything is difficult at the beginning, and the road is still step by step. You can't expect to launch the first mobile phone chip to challenge the hegemon Qualcomm.
Liu Yun's mentality is very good, and after retracting his thoughts, he said with a smile: "Although we have overcome various technical difficulties to this point, this first product is to let it see the world and let netizens know that this is an independent chip produced by us Yoyo." I don't want to be popular, I can gain a firm foothold in the market and have a certain popularity. ”
After Li Zeguang heard this, he also nodded, and secretly praised Liu Yun's idea that it was still very rational.
The young tycoon did not become ambitious because of his success on the Internet.
After all, high-end products such as mobile phone chips are not like the Internet industry, as long as the thinking is correct and the operation is appropriate, the effect can be seen in a short period of time.
It's a test of patience, and even if you keep pouring in real money, you can't rush it.
Liu Yun didn't continue, but looked up at the ceiling of the office and couldn't help but be distracted.
In many cases, in fact, users of Huaxia are willing to support domestic products.
The premise is that you really have to be sincere and have the idea of making a good product, and you can't leave with the mentality of making a circle of money.
You see that Samsung's mobile phones are cooling so quickly in the Chinese market, but sales in overseas markets have been hot.
In addition to their arrogance, as always, in the case of close quality, Huaxia users themselves are more inclined to choose domestic smartphone brands.
Because your price is right, the workmanship is fine, and you are full of sincerity, everyone is willing to pay for you.
If domestic smartphones adopt self-developed chips, many users may also have a sense of empathy and pride.
......
After January, Huawei launched the Huawei Mate2 equipped with the Kirin 910 chip, priced at 1200 yuan.
This affordable mobile phone with a conscience of pricing has been favored by many consumers as soon as it was launched, and many people have paid for it.
There may be many people who still have Apple or chips in their pockets that are Qualcomm's YOYO high-end phones, but this does not affect them in the slightest to buy this mobile phone.
In the words of many consumers: I don't care about one more spare tire mobile phone, and it can be regarded as supporting the mobile phone chip independently developed by our country.
"Of course, we're also looking forward to Yoyo's new model. ”
After another two months, Yoyo launched YOYO D1 under the attention of countless people, which is a new dream series after the sky series, priced at 1088 yuan, which is a genuine thousand-yuan machine.
Maybe it's because over the past few years, the YOYO series of mobile phones has accumulated a good reputation, or maybe it's Liu Yun, who has its own Internet celebrity effect, is also promoting it himself.
Of course, it is also inseparable from people-friendly pricing.
At this moment, the enthusiasm of consumers is even higher.
In just two days, the 100,000 mobile phones in stock were sold out.
At this meeting, Liu Yun was surprised, but had to announce that due to the inventory emergency, the next round of sales would have to wait for a week.
He didn't want to learn from that Rebus for hunger marketing, but the enthusiasm of netizens was really beyond his expectations.
This situation finally made Liu Yun breathe a sigh of relief, at least this path was not wrong.
Sales volume and performance are the biggest driving force to support Yoyo Yunsi to continue to go
By the way, this guy didn't forget to advertise: "Netizens, I believe that within two years, the high-end smartphones of the YOYO series will also have our own chips, so stay tuned!"
A week later, 80,000 new phones were sold out again.
It is optimistically estimated that the YOYO D1 mobile phone is very likely to break through the 300,000 mark within one month of its launch.
After all, this is still 2013, not 2018, when sales exceeded one million at every turn, and the sales of 300,000 a month can be said to be very good.
Liu Yun is already very satisfied with such a result.
His last wish had been granted.
......
The next chapter is coming to an end.
