Chapter 186: Resurgence!
Nowadays, the holding of state-owned assets is a prerequisite for entering China, and foreign car companies must comply with this if they want to make money in China. For the SAIC-Rollslas joint venture www.biquge.info SAIC Motor Group does not contribute nothing, they also contribute money, technology, land, factories and workers, as well as SAIC's large-scale raw material acquisition and sales channels.
Unified purchase of raw materials, large scale, natural premium ability.
In addition, it goes without saying how difficult it is to establish channels, and the fact that foreign brands can quickly open up the market in China and increase brand awareness largely rely on the sales channels of Chinese car companies.
Although the outside media has always believed that Rollslath Motor Cars has degenerated, it is not. SAIC-Rolls-Royce Motor Cars develops and designs new brand cars, and as for the brand name, Li Zetian suggested that it be named "Veyron", which is naturally not Bugatti Veyron. The dragon is a Chinese totem and belief, and the Chinese have always prided themselves on being the heir of the dragon, so the name "Weilong" is very local, imposing, and easy to remember.
SAIC agrees with the name.
In addition, Li Zetian also thought of a slogan for the new brand of "Weilong": "China's Rolls-Royce !!"
The slogan not only promotes the Veyron brand, but also promotes Rolls-Royce, letting people know that Les-Royce is the world's top luxury car, and these four words symbolize the supreme glory of the automotive industry!!
Frankly speaking, at this time, China is a little flattering, always feel that the moon in foreign countries is relatively round, and good face, even if Weilong is a low-end car, but they will also think that it is the Rolls-Royce of low-end cars, and it is the best quality car in low-end cars!
Sitting in such a car, it is more face-saving!!
What brand is Santana car?
No matter how much Santana brags, he can't blow the words "Rolls-Royce"!
If the price of the two is comparable, with the character of the good face of the Chinese, most of them will choose Weilong Auto!
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars sent more than 20 technicians to the joint venture company to guide the work, pure manual manufacturing, the level of craftsmanship is naturally higher, but Weilong Automobile does not need to do so well, what is needed is automotive technology and theoretical guidance, and then through machinery and equipment for large-scale production. As for the timing of the development of the new car, it is expected that it will take a year or two, that is, it will be possible to launch the product in 1983.
Li Zetian has been researching artificial intelligence and robots, and the entry point of robots is industrial robots, because industrial robots can make money, and the development of other robots may not be profitable for a long time. While developing industrial robots, we have also accumulated a lot of technology and experience.
As long as he thinks of RB's Fanuc company, Li Zetian feels that this company is incredibly powerful. Since the advent of Fanuc's first robot in 1974, Fanuc has been committed to leading and innovating in robotics technology, and is the only company in the world where robots make robots. Fanuc robot product series up to 240 kinds, with a load of 0.5 kg to 1.35 tons, are widely used in assembly, handling, welding, casting, spraying, palletizing and other different production links. Moreover, Fanuc CNC system occupies 70% of the global market share, which is the world's first and firmly occupies the top spot among the four major families of industrial robots.
Now, Li Zetian has bought Rollslath cars and established a joint venture company in China, so the industrial robot company has also been put on the agenda! In addition, the scale of the ant factory is growing day by day, and it needs a lot of machinery and equipment, so it is better to develop it yourself than a cheap RB manufacturer!
Li Zetian's crazy money-making is to a large extent aimed at building a top-notch robot company with a high degree of artificial intelligence! This is a very money-burning and extremely arduous goal!
However, since the previous frenzied acquisition operation had already cost him a lot of money, the robot company's plan could only be slowed down for a while.
When Li Zetian accompanied Yu Jingqiu at home, on March 3, 1981, Wei Xiuping's AMR company finally developed the ARM1 processor, which was powerful and ideal for workstations and servers. As a result, Sun Computer Systems immediately replaced the original Intel 8086 processor with an ARM1 processor, which greatly increased the performance of Sun graphics workstations, and Industrial Light & Magic alone had placed an order for 100 workstations with Sun Computer Systems.
As soon as the ARM1 processor was released, it attracted great attention in the industry and became a rookie in the processor company!
Originally, the discussion on the superiority of RISC reduced instruction set and CISC complex instruction set has entered a white-hot level. As soon as the ARM1 processor came out, the media, scholars, and university research institutions immediately unanimously favored the RISC reduced instruction set, and ridiculed the complex instruction set of CISC. However, Intel's 8086 and 8088 processors developed based on the complex instruction set of CISC have been invincible in the personal computer market!
The ARM1 processor is not suitable for personal computers, and is currently only used in high-performance computers!
People admire Intel as a five-body thrower, RISC and CISC have to grasp both hands, and both have been successful!
The Wall Street Journal even used the word "horror" to describe Intel when reporting on it.
Li Zetian put down the newspaper and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, Intel is indeed more terrifying!"
Dongfang Yuqin said: "Mr. Li, IBM is also fully developing processors based on RISC simple instruction set, and John Cork, the father of RISC architecture, is an employee of IBM......"
Don't talk about this, as soon as you say this, Li Zetian has a little headache, John Cork is a top architect of RISC, and in 1972, he was awarded the highest honorary title by IBM to internal employees, Li Zetian sent people to dig the foot of the wall many times, but he still couldn't dig it. For his outstanding contributions to RISC and compiler optimization, John Cork went on to receive the Turing Award, the highest honor in computing.
"There's no way, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!" Li Zetian comforted himself, it was this person who led IBM to develop the famous POWER processor.
To be honest, Intel is not afraid of anything when it comes to chip design, even IBM is not its opponent.
IBM is big and heterogeneous and dabbles in everything, while Intel is big and sophisticated, specializing in research on chips.
Judge from above!
"By the way, Mr. Li, I just bought the news, Apple is in contact with Warner Bros. to buy Sunbird. Warner Bros. has reduced its original offer of $2 billion to $650 million...... "Apple wants to use Sunbird's development capabilities to quickly develop new game consoles and supporting game software, and the most important point is that Apple can develop products that are compatible with the Atari 2600, so that as soon as the new console is released, it will have a large number of original gamers, because the game cartridges in their hands can be played on the new console!"
"Hey, Apple wants to play big!" Li Zetian was surprised, "Where did they get so much money?!"
"With the support of the Rockefeller consortium and the California consortium, Apple borrowed $700 million from the bank...... Dongfang Yuqin explained.
Li Zetian frowned, Apple did this and posed a great threat to the Flamingo Company.
Spicy next door, the consortium has bank support is awesome!
