"Smartphones?"

Ni Guangbei and Guo Wei looked at each other, wondering why Gu Song raised the smartphone to such a high height and called it a new computing device.

It sounds like Gu Song is comparing it to a computer.

Essentially, the concept of smartphones has emerged at this time.

In the early years, compared to the bulky computer, the handheld computer was also born. To put it bluntly, the handheld computer, also called, is developed from the handheld computer, including Nintendo's B, which can be classified into the field of the handheld computer. Like the electronic dictionary produced by Auron Technology, it also belongs to a kind of handheld computer.

It's just that the handheld computer has never had the effect of phone calls and text messages. It wasn't until 1993 that B first introduced a smartphone called it. It is defined as having both the basic communication functions of mobile phones and the operating system based on the computing core, and third-party software can be installed to achieve richer functions, such as games, such as music, and browsing.

Amazingly, this smartphone is the world's first smartphone capable of touch operation.

Of course, at this point in time, the more historic smartphone is still the Symbian system.

With the rise of Nokia, Nokia mobile phones equipped with the Symbian system are sold all over the world. Back then, Gu Song used to find resources on forums like Mobile Home, download e-books, and change wallpapers.

Of course, the smartphone at this moment is far from showing its later power. Mobile communication networks are not yet able to provide sufficient network coverage and speed, and the performance of mobile phones and storage cannot support higher-intensity software. Smartphones have made history as a new computing device, and in 2008, a new generation of touch technology and various sensing devices were introduced.

Looking at the doubts on the faces of Ni Guangbei and Guo Wei, Gu Song said seriously: "Intel and Microsoft have completed the closure of computers, and I feel that there is no chance in this field. But smartphones, I think there's still a chance now. ”

Ni Guangbei didn't look like he was talking nonsense, and said seriously: "Please speak!"

Gu Song nodded and said: "According to Moore's Law, the development of integrated circuits will soon reach such a stage: if there is a small enough chip that can be installed in a mobile phone, and this chip has been able to achieve the processing performance of running three or even four in the future, then the mobile phone that can move at any time has a broad vision." ”

"But," Guo Wei said suspiciously, "Portable computing equipment, don't you already have a notebook?"

"It's different. Technology is about providing convenience for people. If the processing power of mobile phones is not worse than that of today's desktop computers, and even, due to the continuous improvement of technology, all kinds of sensing components, such as photosensitive lenses, can be integrated into mobile phones. Brother Guo, if you have such a mobile phone, in addition to calling and texting, taking pictures, listening to songs, watching movies, playing games, socializing, browsing and other entertainment functions are not lacking, and it can be used anytime, anywhere, taken out of your pocket. What do you think it means to be a product like this?"

The words, while shaking Ni Guangbei and Guo Wei, also made them enter Gu Song's train of thought and began to think about it.

Both of them are people who understand skills, and what Gu Song said is indeed a situation that will emerge sooner or later along the current skill route.

While chips are becoming more and more miniaturized or even miniaturized, the processing power is getting stronger and stronger.

Digital cameras are already emerging, and photosensitive components are indeed becoming smaller.

The foundation of the communication network is constantly improving, if it is a mobile network, now the second generation of the network has begun to develop, and the protocol standards of the 3 network have also begun to enter the stage of research and development.

If the smartphone Gu Song refers to is such a product, then its appeal is beyond doubt. What's more, now that mobile phones have gradually become a must-have, the interesting things in the future must be one for everyone. When the time comes, it will be upgraded to a smartphone......

Gu Song continued: "More importantly, in the field of mobile phone chips, there is no monopoly giant like Intel in the world. What I want to do is to start from the architectural level, aiming at the smartphone era in 3 or 5 years, and make mobile phone chips and mobile operating systems. ”

Seeing that the two of them were listening carefully, Gu Song further expanded the topic: "As long as you are willing to invest, you will be able to make a breakthrough in terms of skills sooner or later." The more difficult point is how to improve the market share rate. Brother Guo, so I want to be a digital product brand of Traveler, I accumulate storage control skills from the beginning of the disk, and I want to do 3 accumulation of decoding skills in the next step, and I will also do digital cameras to accumulate photoelectric sensors and camera chip skills. In this process, my product has a market, and my team can complete the accumulation of skills. When the opportunity is ripe, I can launch the most market-competitive smartphones as soon as possible. ”

Gu Song said in a certain tone: "If my smartphone is like the current Nokia, the ultimate best-selling in the world, then my mobile chip is the global standard, and my mobile operating system is the global standard." At that time, I will begin to catch up with the layout of the giants, and think about how to develop the next generation of computing machines, with a new and more efficient architecture, and then eliminate the current von Neumann machine and Intel's 86 architecture. ”

Ni Guangbei shook inexplicably.

He thought that this was at most an ambitious teenager, and he also had patriotic feelings and was wantonly watching, so he shouted the big words of making chips and spaceships.

But he didn't expect that Gu Song's thinking was so clear and his goal was so real. What he talks about is technically feasible, rigorous in thinking, and he thinks wilder than himself.

He wants to eliminate the von Neumann machine? So what is he going to do? Quantum computer?

Ni Guangbei asked distrustfully, "You said you studied liberal arts?"

Gu Song was stunned when he heard this, took a sip of tea and smiled embarrassedly: "It's indeed a liberal arts, these are all hobbies, hobbies, ...... hobbies."

Guo Wei rolled his eyes, believe you are a ghost, hobby. He sighed and said, "No wonder you said you wanted to make a mobile phone." ”

Yes, the era of smartphones is not far off.

Gu Song can also wait until all the conditions are ripe, and then buy someone else's patent authorization, under the R architecture, with Qualcomm's chips, with Android's open source, with his own insight into market trends, a little step and a half in advance, you can also make enough money.

But his goal is more than that.

He needs to get the AI into the world as soon as possible in order to gather more energy for his flintstone plan.

To accomplish his goal by 2023, he needs to accelerate not only the speed of his own wealth accumulation, but also the technological progress of the entire world.

Except for the most core, overly advanced skills related to spaceships, you might as well take out other things.

Ni Guangbei was silent, still thinking about the feasibility of this path proposed by Gu Song in his heart.

To put it bluntly, it's all money.

Throwing enough money and time at it, a breakthrough in skill is a must.

But there is no shortage of examples in history where better skills have been buried in the pile of old papers, because the next trick may have taken over the market, making money in a steady stream, and creating a castle-like interest group.

Techniques are widely used before they become the standard. Otherwise, just like Fang Chuan 1, who he is not optimistic about now, he may eventually be reduced to entertaining himself and not being able to please everywhere.

He looked at Gu Song, maybe this was his goal in studying liberal arts.

To govern the enterprise, explore the trade model in the market, use enough market occupancy to generate enough profit returns to feed the skills, and also promote their own skill standards.

Ni Guangbei asked seriously: "What do you need?"

Gu Song perked up and hurriedly replied, "I am preparing a research institute in Yanjing. At this stage, this research institute is mainly based on R&D disk chips and 3 chips. Of course, a whole R&D team with smartphone chips as the core goal is what I need. It's just that the smartphone chip is my 3-year plan, and the urgency is not so strong. ”

"What about the budget?"

Gu Song said with certainty: "Now I have personally prepared a fund of 50 million. In the next step, I will take this institute as the core and invest as much money as I can mobilize. It is conservatively estimated that I can invest no less than 500 million yuan in this project in 3 years. ”

Ni Guangbei didn't expect Gu Song to have so much financial resources and courage to do this, he was very excited, but he was also very embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's still not enough." ”

His exclamation was real.

Later, Rebus famously said: The chip industry starts in 10 years, and it will come to fruition in 10 years.

From R&D to standardized production, it is at least a three-to-five-year cycle. The most important problem is that after spending a lot of money to complete the research and development, if there is no market for the results, the research and development cost cannot be diluted, and further iterative research and development will be difficult to continue.

Just like later, all scientific research units and enterprises in China spent billions of dollars on chip research and development, but not half of Intel's company. People invest tens of billions of dollars in R&D every year, and they are still iterating under the world's leading level of technology, how do you let the latecomers catch up?

If you want to overtake this car, unless there is a drastic change in the whole industry. Just like the advent of the mobile era, the rise of Qualcomm. In the field of mobile phone chips, Intel cannot compete with Qualcomm.

It is because of this awareness that Intel continues to invest in research and development for the next generation of computers.

Gu Song certainly has a concern in his mind, but if he wants to carry out the research and development of mobile phone chips in advance, he will not invest less. He said: "At this stage, I want to only do chip design and outsource production. Wait until you have the ability in the future, and then build a factory for production. ”

"Even so, the amount of money requested is not small. ”

Gu Song looked at Guo Wei and said with a smile: "I'm still a little conceited about my ability to make money. ”

Guo Wei smiled and said: "That's true, when you say that, I really believe that you can do it." ”

Ni Guangbei shook his head and said: "Even if the funds can keep up, the talent team is more difficult now." It's good to make some chips with low skill content, but if you want to make a leading smartphone chip in the birth world, such a team is hard to find!"

Gu Song said: "I feel that this problem can be overcome. Talents are tempered through the project, as long as the foundation is enough, good mind, willing to be benevolent, we use 2 years, with the current travelers to promote those product projects, can create a team with excellent skills. ”

Ni Guangbei nodded and said coldly: "Okay, I feel that I can participate in this matter!"
