Chapter 569: Platform Opening
Lin Qi made a simple summary, and the participants couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their hearts, and the new entrepreneurs also had their credits.
And before the time has come to enter Kuma and put Nanshan, although there have been some fluctuations in the PC camp before, IBM has turned against Microsoft, Intel and compatible machine manufacturers. However, after that, the PC took the opportunity to get rid of IBM's constraints and established the Microsoft Intel double leader, and other compatible machine manufacturers can make PCs as long as they use X86 chips and Microsoft's systems. As for motherboards, memory, graphics cards, hard disks, sound cards, CD-ROMs and other components, it is necessary to decide which product to choose.
The core of the entire PC camp is the group of companies in Silicon Valley in the United States. Backed by the U.S. market, and relying on the influence of the U.S., the standard was forcibly promoted to the markets of U.S. allies. For example, NATO's government, finance and other core institutions are not allowed to use Pangu, and there is only one choice for PC.
Even so, Pangu still relies on the civilian consumer market and the office market of small and medium-sized enterprises, and has become a giant of the same scale as PC users.
"Mr. Lin, do you think personal computers will develop in that direction in the future?"
Lin Qi groaned slightly, and said: "The trend of computer development must be divided into mainstream applications such as office, games, and networks. And, of course, a bunch of DIY apps of all kinds. Now, we are mass-producing computers in one stop in order to reduce costs. There is a huge difference between the cost of producing tens of millions of computers of one model and the production of hundreds of thousands of units and millions of units. Our cost performance is higher than that of PC, mainly because our company masters the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and reduces the production cost of a single machine. However, the DIY aspect of the PC camp is better than ours. Computers with all kinds of personalities, this is the big trend of the future!"
"In the future, we will be able to focus on only the core components and operating systems. For example, the CPU is our exclusive monopoly, and we license other parts to be produced by different manufacturers. Users can purchase hardware from different manufacturers and DIY! In the future, the DIY of Pangu desktops will be a general direction, we focus on ecology, users use our Pangu operating system computers, it doesn't matter who produces the computers, after all, we mainly make ecological money, not traditional manufacturing companies, to make money with such low-tech content of assembly. After DIY, users customize the hardware configuration according to their needs, so that it will not weaken our influence, in fact, as long as the CPU and operating system must be ours, the influence will only continue to deepen, not weaken. ”
"Laptops should be grasped, and we mainly focus on the office portable battery life of laptops. As for gaming laptops, I don't think this direction is good! The screen and power consumption of the notebook are not as good as those of desktops, and the performance is naturally relatively poor. If the power consumption of the notebook goes up, then the battery life will be short. Between battery life and performance, I think it's more important than battery life. Now our laptop office can last 6 hours, which is too short, and in the future, it will be increased to 8 hours, 10 hours, and more than 12 hours. Therefore, the power consumption of the notebook should be low, the gameplay should not be so high, and the Pangu notebook focuses on portable office and expands the office ecology!"
Therefore, in the next plan, Pangu will gradually open up its technology in the future, allowing compatible machine manufacturers to exist, and the company can master core technologies such as CPU and operating system. All other hardware will be gradually licensed to global partners. ”
"Mr. Lin, this means that we have a lot less interests, we can do most of the hardware and operating system in one company, and at the beginning, we are the only company to make the Pangu machine, and the whole machine is profitable. Why do you want to give the whole machine to other manufacturers? ”
Some directors raised objections.
"It's a bit narrow-minded to look at it this way, maybe it can be a monopoly at the beginning, relying on our whole machine brand to carry the Pangu camp. But with the development of time, the PC attracted more hardware and software manufacturers. Those small manufacturers, at the beginning, were only the screws of the PC camp, starting from insignificant, but after a few years, many manufacturers gradually grew to a certain scale and can make more technical products. New technologies and resources are constantly being injected into the PC camp. If we do it as a manufacturer, although we can control the cost, there are huge deficiencies in future technological innovation and meeting the consumption of different consumer goods. Therefore, we need to open up, let more enterprises make Pangu compatible machines, and let more hardware manufacturers and software manufacturers join our ecosystem, so that our ecology will have stronger adaptability in the future. ”
"Vision cannot be limited to a corner, and cannot be limited to immediate interests. Rather, it is necessary to expand the scale of participants and expand the diversity and innovation capacity of the Pangea ecosystem through cooperation. ”
"If we can guarantee that each generation of Pangu computers has great technological breakthroughs and innovations, and can have new elements to attract consumers to buy, then we naturally don't need other companies. But we can't do it, creativity is getting more and more difficult with the development of time, and the core R&D team of our enterprise is about 10,000 people. In addition to the subsidiary research institute and our team for outsourcing scientific research projects, more than 50,000 people have engaged in scientific and technological research and development for us. Not much, not much at all, you know, the entire United States and its allies, conservatively estimated, have two or three hundred thousand people doing hardware research and development for PCs. In addition, the technology behind the PC camp is the scientific research level of the entire western developed countries. Even if we have a R&D staff who are hard-working, we will top a few of them. But even then, the scientific research strength is less than a tenth of theirs. The pattern is too small to have to attract more people into the pit, help us research and development, help us innovate, can't just rely on the strength of our own enterprise to promote the Pangu ecology and compete with the PC, right? This is similar to our country, which is engaged in reform and opening up, has introduced foreign capital, and let people make a little money and taste the sweetness, so that more production lines will be moved to China, and the products produced in China will not only be sold in China but also sold to the world through their channels! This is the way to use interests to make others profitable, and we ourselves will also make profits! If we only want to eat alone, we will not be able to make the pattern bigger. ”
At the moment, the people present nodded their heads, although everyone also has their own views on the market.
But a person like Mr. Lin always understands the problem more deeply than everyone, so after Lin Qi's explanation, many people have a sudden realization.
"Mr. Lin, as soon as you say that, I understand!"
"Yes, it looks like we need to strengthen a lot more. ”
A group of people will naturally not give up the opportunity to compliment, Lin Qi was very indifferent, smiled and said: "Always remain modest, in order to become bigger and stronger! In the future, our new entrepreneurship department is not only an enterprise, but also like an entrepreneurial platform, like a dandelion, as soon as the wind blows, some seeds will fly out, and a bunch of potential subsidiaries will be incubated." Externally, we also want to introduce more friends and partners, and everyone can make money in the Pangu ecosystem, which is what I really look forward to!"
