Chapter 743 - Liberalization of technical standards
Early December.
Hong Kong Headquarters of New Venture Electronics Group.
Lin Qi went to Hong Kong specifically to hold a meeting, and first passed the Pangu computer technology standard to fully open up. Previously, a few compatible machine manufacturers have been approved, however, Lin Qi believes that it is not enough, and now it is time to fully open up technical standards, attract more funds and technologies, and enter the Pangu compatible machine market.
It is cool for a family to eat alone, but it can only rely on the innovation power of its own enterprise, and it will be more and more difficult in the future. Therefore, Lin Qi decided to fully open the standards this year.
"Boss, has it really been decided, is it true that the authorization of the Pangu compatible machine will be fully opened?" Gao Tian asked a little reluctantly.
"That's right!" Lin Qi nodded, "The compatible machine should be fully opened, but the core technology, such as CPU, graphics card, operating system, etc., is still in our own hands, in addition, memory, motherboard, solid state drive, mechanical hard disk, etc., our own technology patent reserves, there are still more, and the brand is relatively hard." Even if we open up compatible machines, we can still sell patents, sell hardware, and sell ecology! Those compatible machine manufacturers cannot make their own CPUs, and if they build them themselves, they will not be Pangu computers! Open up early and benefit early, in the future, our vision can not only be on the low-tech matter of how much money to make by selling a computer, but we must think about the expansion of the market for Pangu computer shipments, the market potential of hardware upgrades, the market potential of application software and entertainment software, and the market potential brought by the Internet! We need to focus on this, and we can't focus on building computers. ”
Hearing that Lin Qi insisted on opening up, Gao Tian didn't say much, after all, the company belongs to Lin Qi, he is just a department executive, for the interests of the department, he will not collide with the boss.
"Pangu Division, I think, can operate independently in the future and establish Pangu Computer Co., Ltd. Lin Qi knew that if he slapped someone, he had to give sweet dates, "Pangu Computer Co., Ltd., which can be listed in the future, its assets include Pangu Computer brands, desktops, laptops, servers and other private brands, but not including core hardware and operating systems." After operating independently, the team of Pangu Computer Company was given an equity incentive to imitate the parent company. In addition, Pangu Computer Company will choose an opportunity to go public in the future. ”
''What?'" Gao Tian, who originally felt that the interests of the department were damaged, quickly became excited.
The main reason why the Pangu computer department opposes compatible computers is that now their biggest source of profit is mainly the share of Pangu computer sales. The entire department, relying on the project alone, can be divided into more than 3 billion, which can be said to be the most oil and water in each department. Pangu Computer Department is one of the few projects of the company that pays dividends and gets more than equity incentives.
But compared to going public, this benefit is nothing.
……
Taking advantage of the momentum of Double 11, the fist product of Xinye Electronics Group, Pangu Computer, exceeded 10 million units in a single month for the first time.
At the same time, as of the end of November, Pangu computers, including desktops and laptops, have sold more than 93 million units during the year, just 7 million units short, and the annual sales volume can exceed 100 million units!
Although, the current highest-priced Pangu 7th generation desktop and Pangu 4th generation laptop, only account for more than 30% of sales. The majority of the sales volume is reduced to 999 yuan for the Pangu learning 1st generation and 1299 yuan for the Pangu learning 2nd generation.
In fact, after the Pangu learning series of computers, mainly the 3rd and 4th generations of Pangu computers, stopped selling, simplified the design, cut off the optical drive, slightly increased the hard disk and memory, and then replaced the vest to occupy the low-end market again. After reducing the price to such an extent, the threshold for computer popularization has been greatly lowered.
Although, learning the 1st generation and learning the 2nd generation of computers is outdated in terms of performance, and in the absence of optical drives, it has a huge impact on games, audio-visual and other entertainment.
With the current computer hardware, it is unrealistic to store a large number of games and film and television resources on hard disks. Therefore, most users in these years still use the method of inserting discs to watch film and television resources or play games. In the case of games, the computer only saves a small amount of game save data, and the real program of the game is still kept under the disc. The next time you want to play, insert the disc, read the save saved on your computer, and then re-enter the game.
However, after the elimination of the optical drive, the game and video functions are equivalent to being abolished, so the learning 1st generation and learning 2nd generation can be called a real learning computer.
Many entry-level users buy and learn 1st generation or 2nd generation first, pretending to be their own for learning. However, the CD drive on the second-hand market is only about 300 yuan, and the new CD drive is only more than 600. Therefore, students who are ready to buy game consoles on the curve basically study 1 and 2 first. After the computer is started, save pocket money, go with a CD-ROM drive, and after that, although the machine is a little behind, the latest games may not work. However, there are a large number of old games on the Pangu platform, and many old games are also relatively classic, and some entry-level players can experience those discounted old games from scratch, and they can still be cool for a long time. When you graduate from a novice game and start to chase the current new games, you need to upgrade the configuration to the mainstream model.
"The hegemon of the computer market was born, and the new venture electronics group sold 93 million computers in 11 months, with global sales of more than 35 billion US dollars.
Even those who don't pay attention to the technology industry should know that computers are gradually becoming a very common productivity tool for humans. Cashiering, deposit and withdrawal, office, study, entertainment, scientific research, more and more occasions, inseparable from microcomputers.
In the market battle for microcomputers that swept the world, at present, it was developed by IBM, but unfortunately, at the beginning, IBM was in a hurry, and all kinds of technologies were looking for industry partners, outsourcing, and opening up technical standards, so that it lost control of the PC camp prematurely. The entire PC camp, which does not need IBM at all, can still continue to upgrade. And if IBM deviates from the direction, it will also be abandoned by the mainstream of the PC camp. It is precisely for this reason that although IBM was the earliest formulator of PC standards, its interests were quickly divided by other software and hardware manufacturers and compatible machine manufacturers.
Pangu computer is different, before the advent of the PC, Lin Qi through electronic watches, calculators and other low-tech products, after accumulating the first pot of gold, soon to arcade, handheld and other game market to invest the main energy. After allowing him to have more electronic technology research and development teams through arcades and handheld computers, Lin Qi soon shifted his focus to the computer market. In other words, in the beginning, it was developing computers in the name of home game consoles. Pangu, a now well-known computer brand, was born silently at the beginning. Compared with IBM, which is confident that it can control the PC camp, it has prematurely opened up its technical standards, and through outsourcing, it relies on companies in Silicon Valley.
Lin Qi didn't think that spending money could buy core technology at the beginning. Therefore, starting from the initial operating system, CPU, and CD-ROM, Pangu Computer spent a lot of money and resources, and only after determining the core technology and mastering it in his own hands did Lin Qi begin to release products. A large number of core patents and technologies have been firmly in the hands of Xinchuang Electronics Group, making the profits and market of Pangu Computer have always been equal to the market share and profits of Xinchuang Electronics Group.
Legendary entrepreneur Lin Qi, the boss of the new venture electronics group, is undoubtedly the biggest winner in this feast of wealth. Although, his specific wealth and worth have always been a secret. However, some people say that Lin Qi is estimated to be the richest man in the world, because it is said that most of the shares of Xinchuang Electronics Group are held by him. Even by the most conservative data, Lin Qi should at least be the richest man in Asia and one of the richest people in the world.
However, according to the statistics of mainstream media personnel, just some of the stocks of listed companies invested by Lin Qi have been able to make him one of the top richest people in Asia. Not to mention, a super giant like Xinchuang Electronics Group, it is reported that this company claims to never go public, relying on internal employee stock ownership and sharing the company's growth dividends to achieve growth. A company that has never accepted external financing, but has grown organically to the level of the world's top technology giant in 13 years. This company is able to develop its own state-of-the-art CPUs and has a large CPU manufacturing plant. Memory, graphics cards, hard disks, optical drives, solid-state drives, and operating systems are almost entirely done on their own.
Of course, as a company grows larger, it is inevitable that the shadow of antitrust will follow. Three years ago, the United States waved a big stick to punish Xinfei Electronic Technology, a subsidiary of Xinchuang Electronics, not only to make it pay a sky-high fine of 1 billion US dollars, but also to require Xinfei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. to give up the original monopoly VCD and CD-ROM market share, and open the city gate and bridge with the original airtight patent moat, so that opponents can penetrate and seize Xinfei's market share. Up to now, the market value of Xinfei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Japan has also fallen from a maximum market value of more than $50 billion to just over $10 billion at present. Of course, there are factors in the collapse of the bubble in the Japanese stock market, but there is no doubt that the DVD market and the CD-ROM market have ushered in many competitors, which has reduced the market share of Xinfei Electronic Technology Company to 30%, which also has a lot to do with it.
As for the larger giant like the new venture electronics group, anti-monopoly professionals admit that if it does not change the current pattern, it will encounter anti-monopoly investigations sooner or later in the future, and the reason why it has not encountered anti-monopoly investigations now is just luck or political considerations......
In order to avoid anti-monopoly investigations, the top management of the new venture group has recently leaked rumors, and Boss Lin is ready to open up the technology of Pangu computers, allowing more manufacturers to produce compatible machines, and avoid potential anti-monopoly sanctions by cultivating competitors and creating competition. ”
After Lin Qi saw the recent article, he was dismissive...... In fact, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Qualcomm, Google, ...... Enterprises that can become bigger and stronger, isn't that more or less a monopoly advantage in some fields?
Recently, Lin Qi is preparing to promote the opening of technical standards, mainly to avoid Pangu computers, because of the lack of more technological innovation and compatibility. Therefore, only the more vendors participate, the better the compatibility will be, and more and more new technologies and new experiences will be obtained.
