"Is there really no way?" Zhou Shi was really upset in the face of the bad news brought by Li Yinan and Li Ying. In his previous life, as long as he had money, he could make smartphones from any factory, but he didn't expect it to be Zhou Shi's turn, it was so difficult. There are too many related industries up and down this industrial chain, and there are no suitable options for many things, and it is really difficult to go smoothly.

"We can't help it, there are too many technical differences, and your requirements are very high. ”

"Why, in the face of this difficulty, you will retreat," Zhou Shi said to Li Yinan with a sneering face

"What are you talking about, no matter how good your idea is, it must conform to the laws of the market, how can your idea that is divorced from reality be realized" Li Ying

"If you can't do it, think that others can't do it, don't question other people's dreams with your incompetence" Zhou Shi immediately became angry when he heard Li Ying's words. All along, he regarded this girl as one of his best buddies, but he didn't expect her to be so skeptical of his choice.

"You~~ Then you find someone with strong ability, don't come to me!" Li Ying said and turned around to leave

"The latest news, Apple's Steve Jobs will release a new smartphone in January next year, his chip is ARM architecture, his system is a mobile operating system developed by himself, their screen is TFT, between three and four inches, multi-touch, there is a home button under the screen, a power button and two volume keys on the side. Zhou Shi was a little lonely and said quietly.

Li Ying also stopped, embarrassed to come back. Li Yinan dragged her and brought her over: "Is this thing true?"

"There is 80% certainty, time may not be necessarily, but the product is very certain, Apple will be our most powerful opponent, we are going to take the lead, and the future development may be difficult"

"I'll go back and continue to work hard and strive for ......," Li Yinan

"Forget it, forget it, we don't need to delay the development of the mobile phone itself for this first" Zhou Shi

"Actually, what you said is also reasonable, if we can't occupy the first place and don't make a name for ourselves, there will be a natural gap in the face of Apple, but our current talent pool is really not enough," Li Ying said softly.

"What about our cooperation with SoftBank Mobile? Is there enough manpower to meet the needs of SoftBank Mobile, and can our foundry maintain the yield rate?"

“……”

"If you don't have experience in production management, you can poach people from Foxconn, or find Foxconn foundry, quality is the bottom line, you can't bargain. Zhou Shi's excitement also eased

"We will control this aspect," Li Ying

"Oh, by the way, can we cooperate with HiSilicon in terms of mobile phone chip design, or take a stake in HiSilicon Semiconductor?" Zhou Shi looked at Li Yinan

"HiSilicon Semiconductor, can you change one?" Li Yinan

"Do we have a more suitable partner to work with?" Zhou Shi thought that there are few companies in China that can settle down and specialize in technology, and there seems to be no other choice except Huawei, do you want to cooperate with MediaTek?

"I don't want to have anything to do with Huawei anymore!" Li Yinan

Zhou Shi didn't know what to do when he heard this, what kind of reply was this, because of personal reasons, regardless of the company's development?

"Let's go back and figure out a way," Li Ying

"How is the development of the mobile operating system, and what are the difficulties?" Zhou Shi just asked others

"It's not very difficult," Li Yinan replied

"Really, don't forget our development principles: safety, stability, low energy consumption, easy development, simple operation and finally perfect visual effect!"

"The technical requirements are easy to meet, but can you be specific about the design requirements?"

"How specific do you need to be? The display above the PPT is the minimum standard. "Zhou Shi

"Ah~~" Li Ying exclaimed in surprise and covered her mouth.

"You really can't wait for two months later, and refer to Apple's mobile phone system" Zhou Shi, "Are there enough developers for the operating system now, and are there enough funds?"

"It's okay! "Li Yinan

"Have you found a good cooperative manufacturer for TFT display, which factory can meet our design standards and needs?"

"Now I find the best one that is produced by LG, but the price is a bit expensive. "Li Ying

"The price is not a problem, there is always a way to lower it" Zhou Shi

"What about our patent issues? Will the mobile operating system infringe, what about the mobile phone patents?"

"It's a complicated question," Li Ying said

Zhou Shi naturally knew that the problem was complicated, and originally wanted to cooperate with SoftBank Mobile to have a very good start, but he didn't expect that it might be difficult to carry out because of patent issues. Small batches may be fine, but once the brand is successful, the large-scale launch will definitely be sniped.

"You and Feng Xingxian organized a manual investigation into what ways we can obtain patents. And the focus is on Nortel Networks, this company is going bankrupt, can we just buy their patents?"

"Nortel Networks' patents cover the core technology of routing and switches, and some 4G LTE technology, what is the use of us?" said Li Yinan

Zhou Shi was also depressed when he heard it, in his previous life, Microsoft, Apple, and Google fought for these patents, and finally the consortium of Microsoft and Apple acquired this part of the assets with 4.5 billion US dollars, which was more than 5 times more than 5 times from the initial offer of no more than 900 million US dollars. If they don't use their phones, why do they buy these patents? They also set up a patent trolls company, Rockstar, and after Apple, Microsoft, BlackBerry, and others divided more than 2,000 patents, they put more than two-thirds of the remaining patents into Rockstar.

"4G technology is also the future, we don't need it, ZTE and Huawei don't need it? "Zhou Shi

"But how can we have so much money?" Li Yinan

Money, or money. Why hasn't the damn subprime mortgage crisis come yet!

"Forget about the money, you can build a team in Silicon Valley to find acquisition targets for $3 billion and replenish our patent pool. This patent base should include core basic patents in software, hardware, and mobile communications. "Zhou Shi

"$3 billion, do you have that much money?"

"I don't have it right now, but I can always figure it out. And ......" Zhou Shi suddenly didn't say

"And what?" said Li Ying

Zhou Shi smiled silently.

"If you don't say it, hurry up" Li Ying suddenly came over and pinched Zhou Shi.

Uh! This! Zhou Shi even forgot to cry out in pain. Zhou Shiyi, who was struck, raised his hand and touched the peak that he had never touched, although it was only a light, that strange feeling was still remembered by him.

Li Ying's face was also red, and she didn't ask.
