Chapter 753 Pangu Computer Division divests the parent company
With the opening of Pangu computer technology standards, the world's Pangu compatible machine market has become rapidly active.
It's not just some large computer manufacturers that are already working hard to make their own brand of Pangu compatible machines. Some smaller DIY stores have also sprung up.
In December, a bunch of DIY computer profiteers have sprung up in the Hong Kong and Shenzhen markets, selling various assembly machine solutions. Although many assembly machines are not even as cost-effective as brand machines, they still attract many users, because DIY can choose accessories according to their needs, which is still much more personalized than the standardized configuration of brand machines.
At present, these small miscellaneous compatible machines are assembled without royalties. However, the large-scale compatible machine manufacturers chose to sign a long-term agreement with the new venture electronics group group, including the purchase contract of the CPU, and honestly paid the patent fee in advance.
For the issue of patent fees, it is difficult for compatible machine manufacturers to conceal the report, because the new venture electronics group basically collects patent fees according to the shipment volume of the CPU, and the current XRM architecture CPU is mainly supplied by three CPU companies, Xinchuang Semiconductor, Lishan Semiconductor and AMD. As long as you count the CPU shipments and purchase contracts, you will know who to ask for royalties.
Because there is a cost advantage in purchasing CPU and other hardware in bulk, the hardware procurement cost saved is more than the 2.5% patent fee of the whole machine.
It is precisely because of this that large compatible machine brands cannot save 2.5% of patent fees.
At present, Xinchuang Electronics Group can charge 10~30 US dollars in patent fees for each compatible machine, although it is not as high as the gross profit of the current self-operated Pangu computer, but it is worry-free and labor-saving, and it will also pass on its own business and sales risks to more compatible machine brands.
In general, the patent fees of Pangu compatible machines are still relatively low, and the patent fees are mainly paid to the new venture electronics group. Unlike the PC camp, where patents are more complex, many PC-compatible machine manufacturers need to pay patent fees to a bunch of tech giants. In general, PC compatible machine manufacturers pay a lot more patent fees than Pangu compatible machines.
Therefore, the current Pangu compatible machine market, even if it is just to sell the whole machine and hardware, is also profitable.
The reason for the large-scale opening is also because Lin Qi is trying to introduce more technology and ecology, as well as acquire more users, to enhance the depth of the moat of Pangu ecology.
Lin Qi clearly knows that the current ecosystem of Pangu has not yet reached an irreplaceable level. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to increase the shipment of Pangu computers, and use time to accumulate the number of application software. The longer the user uses it, the more irreplaceable applications are accumulated, and the longer the life of this ecological environment.
Historically, Apple Computer once abandoned only its own operating system, because ...... The number of users of Apple computers has been negligible to a negligible extent, and few application software manufacturers are willing to develop software for Apple computers, and even bother to transplant the programs of the IN system to Apple computers.
Because of the withered ecological environment, Apple computer users found that their computers could neither be used for office nor entertainment, even if they boasted that Apple's system was smoother and more advanced than the IN system, but there was a hair. Therefore, before Apple made mobile phones, it was once in a predicament similar to Wang An's computer company.
Later, Jobs was able to lead Apple's second transformation and revival, which was in a sense even more difficult than the founding of Apple in the first place.
Of course, even if the number of users of the IOS and Android systems later exceeded that of the IN system, the IN system is still known as irreplaceable, mainly because the technical heritage and barriers accumulated by the PC over the decades can not be replaced by other platforms in the short term. A large number of application software can only be used in the PC environment, so that even if the PC shipment continues to decline, no one dares to say PC pills. Even if it is a pill, it is a slow process, and that is the power of the ecology built by PC!
Lin Qi is of course more optimistic about the future of mobile Internet, but he will definitely not give up desktop computers and laptops. On the contrary, this market will still have a huge stock market in the next few decades, so the construction of the current Pangu ecology cannot be stopped!
Summing up the historical gains and losses, Apple's computer system died quickly, so that later generations of Apple computers were also equipped with IN systems, mainly because there were too few users of Apple computers to attract more software companies to develop software for them.
And the IN system later performed very strongly, even in the era of IOS and Android, it is still a mainstream office tool, more because of the strong ecological construction of the IN system, a lot of software has been developed in the environment of the IN system for decades, and it will be difficult to transplant to other platforms for a while.

New Venture Electronics Group, Pangu Division.
After the opening of Pangu's computer technology standards, the Pangu Business Division also carried out a series of reorganizations. Originally, the Pangu business unit accounted for more than 5,000 people in the group company, including an operating system team of more than 2,000 people.
After the technical standards were opened, the Pangu operating system team was spun off from the Pangu business unit and continued to stay in the group company.
Because, the Pangu Division became an independent subsidiary, which was spun off from the establishment of the group company. After such streamlining, the original insufficient establishment of the group company is gradually sufficient.
After all, the newly established Pangu Computer Co., Ltd. will strip off the personnel of the Pangu Division and streamline the core establishment of the group headquarters.
"The patent fee is a lot, but it's a pity...... It's not our Pangu team!" said an employee of the Pangu Division.
In terms of profits, our Pangu business department is the first! Now it is conservatively estimated that the company will earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars a day. An old employee sighed and said, "Make such a big move, strip us out, and those who don't know still think that we are losing money and losing money!"
"Don't think about it, the company doesn't treat everyone badly, the Pangu Division is the richest business unit per capita, and there is no one in the entire business department who is worth less than 5 million. An old employee said calmly, "What's more, after the current Pangu business unit is spun off, it will be listed in the future." This is also Mr. Lin, an explanation to us, Pangu Computer Company is definitely a super giant when it goes public, and when the time comes, everyone will be able to have a lot of returns!"
In the discussion of these internal employees, it is also a certainty that the Pangu Division will spin off the parent company and become an independent subsidiary. Even, starting in mid-December, the Pangu Computer Division began to move......
