The five of them held a seven-hour meeting behind closed doors to discuss the company urgently.

Ant Holdings first made a detailed report on the affairs and future plans of the semiconductor company.

The acquisition of NexGen has reached the final moment, and the transaction is expected to be completed within half a month.

The entire assistant team will leave for country M in a week, and before that, Wang Ziyan needs to provide $2 billion in funds, and then complete the overall layout.

Some of NexGen's core R&D personnel will be brought to the mainland after the completion of the R&D center in mainland China in the future, and the remaining personnel will be reorganized in country M to deal with country M.

Now that the matter has been decided, Wang Ziyan decided to settle the matter: "I will leave Xiangjiang in a week, and I will hand over the funds to you before that." ”

Then, he asked Xu Qiu and them to move a financial color printer in, and then connected his notebook and began to print one after another.

These drawings are actually hand-drawn and scanned into the computer, including PC hosts, large-screen monitors, all-in-one computers, portable notebooks, tablet terminals, and mobile phones.

It is also marked with size, color, material, and much more.

During the printing process, he pulled out a small box from the compartment of his notebook backpack, opened the small box and found a row of small cards of various colors, and then arranged the metal pieces in a row on a black flannel cloth pulled out of the backpack.

This is an aluminum-magnesium alloy sheet made of piano lacquer process, which he finally obtained.

He pulled down all the curtains and turned off the lights, and when the room was dark, he took out a flashlight, turned it on, and pointed the light at some metal pieces.

For a while, the reflection of various rays of light came into everyone's eyes, and with the shaking of the lights, it was full of brilliance.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Wang Ziyan's voice came: "This is made of piano lacquer process combined with aluminum-magnesium alloy, and the current price is very high. The one on the far side is called metal wire drawing, and the price is relatively cheap. ”

Then he turned on the light, and then distributed some of the drawings that had been printed out to the crowd, and said: "This is a sketch of my design, you can find someone to model it, and everyone can see the actual effect." ”

Everyone looked at each other, looked at the drawings, and carefully took the alloys and touched them.

Wang Ziyan waited for these people to finish flipping through it, and then said: "Throw the phone aside first, the processor can't reach it for the time being, let's take a look at the computer." ”

"It's been a long time since the birth of computers, and they have been taking the route of miniaturization, and they don't pay much attention to design at present, because the market competition is still too small. This time we spent a lot of money to buy NexGen, do you think if AMD buys NexGen, and then Cyrix will be swallowed up in two years, how many CPUs will be left in the market?

"The market is there, whether it can sell 100,000 units a year or 1 million units is just a number. The inner thing is the same, what else can you fight? Or sell at a loss? Or dig out the selling point from the appearance and service?"

"So, I'm sure to say that soon we'll be seeing all sorts of computer mainframes, monitors, and laptops on the market. ”

"The size of the CPU is basically fixed, and the size of the motherboard is basically fixed. So I have a plan here, which is the computer assembly factory plan. By the time the NexGen mainland factory has produced the CPU, everything else can be custom sourced, and we want to beat the current garbage with our unique and beautiful appearance. ”

"You can see the design that I gave, I drew it bit by bit, and you can figure out how to do it. For now, it's just a matter of assembling what's currently on the market and packing it into our custom metal box. ”

"Of course, this requires you to do a good job of market research, and then reduce the purchase price to the lowest and set a reasonable price for the whole machine. It doesn't matter if we lose money, we are actually investing now, we want to promote the development of the Internet in this world to achieve the purpose of developing our own business. ”

Then, he threw out a stack of research project materials for the semiconductor laboratory.

The main research directions are CPU, GPU, LCD screen, motherboard, multi-touch capacitive touch screen.

He didn't know much about the technology in this area, he just wrote down everything he knew, which was not strictly a set of plans.

For example, CPU, since it already holds NexGen, a giant in low-end CPUs, uses its technology to develop its own CPU while developing its own machine business.

LCD has been around for a long time, but the current cost is too high, so we have to study it in depth, strive to be better and cheaper, and go ahead of others.

What he knows the most is actually multi-touch capacitive touch screens, touch screens, this thing, the concept appeared in the 60s, and then it became a reality.

Then the resistive touch screen was born, but the resistance touch screen has been slow to develop because of the slow response to pressure and the difficulty of multi-touch.

But Wang Ziyan knows what a terrifying stage the multi-touch capacitive touch screen in his previous life has developed.

And now, there are still ten years before the development and birth of this technology, which is enough for Wang Ziyan to cross the border.

Wang Ziyan has studied the principle of this thing, and the capacitive screen is the earliest touch screen. To achieve multi-touch on the capacitive screen, it relies on increasing the electrodes of mutual capacitance, simply put, the screen is divided into blocks, and a group of mutual capacitance modules are set up in each area to work independently, so the capacitive screen can independently detect the touch situation in each area, and after processing, simply realize multi-touch.

The capacitive technology touch panel CTP uses the current induction of the human body to work, and in his previous life, he didn't know how many mobile phones had been smashed by his son, and the structure of the simple capacitive screen was not too familiar. To put it simply, this is a four-layer composite glass screen, the inner surface of the glass screen and the interlayer are each coated with a layer of ITO, the outermost layer is only 0.0015mm thick silica glass protective layer, the interlayer ITO coating is used as the working surface, the four corners lead to four electrodes, and the inner ITO is the screen layer to ensure the working environment.

When the user touches the capacitive screen, due to the electric field of the human body, the user's finger and the working surface form a coupling capacitance, because the working surface is connected with a high-frequency signal, so the finger absorbs a very small current, this current flows out from the electrodes on the four corners of the screen respectively, and theoretically the current flowing through the four electrodes is proportional to the distance from the finger to the four corners, and the controller obtains the position through the precise calculation of the four current proportions.

Such a capacitive screen can achieve 99% accuracy and has a response speed of less than 3ms.

Therefore, Wang Ziyan wrote down all the information about the capacitive touch screen he knew and provided it to the laboratory for testing.

It's not that he understands these things, but because he wasn't sure what led to this breakthrough in the research process of multi-touch at that time, and you must know that decades of research have not been able to make progress, from single touch to two touch to ten touch in just two years.

In the previous life, around 2012, the ten-point touch was a great selling point, which was all the rage, and all major terminal companies used this as the main selling point for publicity.

The advent of ten-point touch technology has directly swept single-touch into the garbage heap.

Therefore, he just thought that if this opportunity was in the information he knew, maybe a word or paragraph that he inadvertently wrote would be able to speed up the development process and let himself dominate the entire industry.

The last one is about the development of an operating system solution with real-time and time-sharing operation capabilities based on the Linux kernel, which Wang Ziyan named Ant OS.

He didn't want to play against Microsoft, the chances of success were too slim, and in that case he might as well focus on mobile. Like tablets and smartphones.

As for the Android system, Wang Ziyan didn't know the code, and he didn't bring back a machine to provide researchers with research, but he knew that Android was developed based on Linux.

In the previous life, Microsoft's mobile phone system first used a simplified version of windows, and later switched from Windows to Windows phone in order to adapt to the mobile phone hardware.

That is to say, whether it is Android, Windows phone, ios, or Firefox OS, these are actually just foolish displays of the operating system, and the so-called UI design is actually just the construction of image frameworks.

They are just the most basic system software that runs directly on the "bare metal".

And if his Ant OS development can be successful in the short term, then as long as there is the right hardware support, whether it is Nokia, Samsung, or later Apple, it will be defeated by him.

The most important thing is the patents, the patents of multi-touch screens and systems, and the patents of the design, which will make Wang Ziyan tightly choke the throats of these companies, so that they can only follow their ass and eat dust.

Of course, this premise is to have his own hardware support, without hardware he can't stifle anything, but because the hardware is in the hands of others, he can only drink soup.

So, he's drawing these things now, drawing all the classic looks he can remember, and then when he's almost done, he'll find someone to make proofs, and then send them all over the world to apply for a design patent.

As for the little bit of mold opening fee and application fee, who cares?

All afternoon, Wang Ziyan spent the whole afternoon answering questions, explaining things bit by bit, breaking them apart and explaining them to them.

Dinner was packed by the staff, and a group of people ate and chatted in the conference room.

Finally, Wang Ziyan mentioned the miniaturization and thinning of equipment, especially the tablet project, and urged NexGen to set up a project and take the 10mm body as the development goal for the next 10 years.

He gave a suggestion, mainly for the possible obstacles to the miniaturization and thinning of current equipment. He believes that the main reason must be the thickness of the battery and the heat dissipation problem is not easy to solve, and he suggested flattening the battery and flattening the heat dissipation. This is also one of the purposes he brought aluminum-magnesium alloy, which is cheaper and lighter than copper, and the lack of heat dissipation performance does not affect its superiority.

Moreover, simply comparing the heat dissipation performance is a hooligan behavior, and the heat dissipation area of the aluminum-magnesium alloy may be dozens of times that of copper for the radiator at the same price.

On the other hand, Wang Ziyan emphasized the importance of controlling his own lifeline, and he knew too well the urine of those businessmen and politicians in country M.

In the end, Wang Ziyan arranged for Xu Qiu to go to the Cayman Islands to register an Alibaba Industrial Holdings (International) Co., Ltd., and then set up Huating Alibaba Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., Huating Alibaba Department Store Trading Co., Ltd., Huating Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Huating Alibaba Brand Management Co., Ltd.

Huating Alibaba Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. is for shopping malls and supermarkets for supply chain management, their plan is to establish large-scale transit warehousing in eight regions of the country, and each city to establish an exclusive terminal warehousing center.

Of course, in the overall plan, these warehouses are not only used offline, Ali Mall is a direct and self-operated model in the early stage, and the goods sold online also come from these warehouses. These warehouses also serve as the city operations centers and transshipment centers of Lightspeed Express.
