"Specific mp3 matters, Huang Zhang, next, you are fully responsible. By the way, and Jiahui, you should also think more about the innovation of MP3. Perhaps, perhaps, in the future, our smartphones will have a lot of functions that will be used in mp3. Also, Robin, you can take a break with our smartphone operating system. You cooperate with Huang Zhang first, and first develop a new mp3 system, I hope this system can be more intelligent. ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhang."

All three nodded.

However, Zhang Ning was still not at ease, and said again, "Let me emphasize again, MP3 is not a small thing, maybe, this small MP3, he can change the world." ”

Zhang Ning has a lot of mp3 ideas in his stomach, but he still wants the three of them to think more and innovate more.

There is still time, as long as they are cultivated and grown, Penguin Technology and Meizu Technology will be able to maintain their brilliance in the future.

"Alright, adjourn."

After the meeting, Zhang Ning left Meizu Technology.

However, Zhang Ning is still very busy.

After leaving Meizu Technology, Zhang Ning searched for the latest situation of major mobile phone companies around the world.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.

Although Zhang Ning knows that smartphones can definitely explode in the future.

However, smartphones have not been launched for the time being.

Moreover, even if it is launched, he may encounter various problems when developing smartphones.

Such as manufacturing process problems, operating system and hardware compatibility problems, and so on.

Although Penguin Technology is strong, it also has sufficient R&D funds. But when it comes to it, Penguin isn't really a hardware company. In this regard, Zhang Ning did not dare to have full confidence in his heart. He just wants to be able to take all aspects into account and be prepared when preparing his smartphone plans.

Nokia.

Zhang Ning first looked at Nokia.

As the world's No. 1 mobile phone company, Nokia already occupies 30% of the global market.

It's a horrible record.

There are even many people who already regard Nokia as synonymous with mobile phones.

Undoubtedly, now in the mobile phone area, Nokia will be Penguin's most powerful competitor.

Moreover, Nokia is actually already going down the smartphone path.

Their N95 is, strictly speaking, also a smartphone.

It's just a pity that although N95 is good, it has not caused a global craze.

Everyone will only think that this is a very high-end phone, but they don't know exactly how advanced it is.

Or, even if they knew, he didn't make others feel the urge to buy.

In fact, at the end of the day, the N95 is not that smart.

Or rather, N95, is not so innovative.

However, as the No1 mobile phone in the industry, Zhang Ning still attaches enough importance to Nokia.

Fortunately, judging from some recent Nokia situations, Nokia has taken the same route as later generations, without much deviation.

Next up is Samsung.

In fact, Samsung mobile phones are not as good as they are in the current market.

At least, in the era of Nokia phones, Samsung phones did not have a single bright spot.

It's just that Zhang Ning, who knows the future generations, knows that Samsung mobile phones are good in later generations.

This one is a giant that can compete with Apple.

For Samsung, Zhang Ning attaches more importance to it than Nokia.

This is a company that understands the market better than Nokia, and also knows how to innovate better.

Samsung Computer, Samsung Digital, Samsung Mall, Samsung Phone, Samsung MP3, Samsung TV, Samsung ......

All in one, Samsung covers almost all electronics.

Whether it's a mobile phone or a computer, there are products from Samsung.

Not only that, in addition to owning these products, Samsung also produces accessories for these electronic products.

Electronic chips, displays, all kinds of digital products...... All have Samsung's brand, and Samsung's market share is still very high, and at the same time, their various technologies have also been leading the direction of the industry.

In addition, on the sales side, Samsung Mall stores have opened almost all over the world.

Even assembly line processing plants, Samsung has also joined.

In terms of his size, he is only under Foxconn in Taiwan.

I fork ......

What a mess.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but when I look at it, Zhang Ning feels the huge size of Samsung.

It's no wonder that the Samsung of later generations can compete with Apple.

In his heart, Zhang Ning was secretly surprised by Samsung.

Compared with Samsung, even if the market value of Penguin is several times that of Samsung, Zhang Ning can't help but feel that Penguin will not be Samsung's opponent. Especially in terms of hardware, Samsung is definitely the biggest of the Big Macs. As for why Penguin has a higher market value than Samsung, on the one hand, Penguin's Internet products are too innovative, and on the other hand, this is the stock market after all, and the market value of the stock market is not a real tangible asset, and besides, the stock market has a very big bubble.

From design to development, from development to branding, from branding to sales, Samsung is fully involved.

In his mind, Zhang Ning couldn't help but build a map of Samsung's operation.

This has brought great convenience to Samsung.

On the one hand, all the electronic products of the Samsung company, he can use his own accessories.

This reduces the development cost by a considerable part.

On the other hand, it is precisely because of the use of its own accessories that Samsung can not be suppressed by any electronic IT company.

Because you can't suppress it if you want to, Samsung's own things are better than yours.

What's more, Samsung will not only not be suppressed by these IT companies, on the contrary, Samsung can also suppress others.

Just like the monitor, if you want to use the Samsung brand, they will consider whether to sell it to you or not.

It's not a question of whether you have money or not.

Of course, more is a huge opportunity for Samsung.

Because Samsung is involved in all content products of electronic products, he has also made almost all IT companies in the world cooperate with Samsung. There are many such cooperations, and it is difficult for Samsung to be strong or not.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning also understood why Samsung had the strength to compete with Apple in the future.

Apple is very innovative, but Apple doesn't really make much hardware.

Just like Apple's CPU, he had used IBM and Qualcomm before, and finally asked Samsung to help them develop.

There are also mobile phone screens, which are also used by other people's brands.

Speaking of which, Apple is all about assembling all the hardware in the world together.

In the beginning, such a product may be innovative enough, and he will attract users enough.

However, when such innovation is weak, and when everyone slowly gets used to such innovation, Apple's attractiveness will decline. Samsung, which has always provided all electronic product channels, has sprung up at this time. Relying on his channels, relying on his production line, and relying on his strong imitation research and development capabilities, it has become the world's second largest mobile phone manufacturer.

No, it should be the number one.

If you only talk about the volume of mobile phone shipments, the Samsung of later generations has completely surpassed Apple.

It's just that Apple's high price has always been more profitable than Samsung's.

For Samsung, Zhang Ning crossed a symbol.

He hasn't thought of a way to destroy Samsung for the time being, but if Samsung is not destroyed, sooner or later it will be a big problem for Penguin, and Zhang Ning will have to compete with Samsung sooner or later.

Next, Zhang Ning looked for some mobile phone CPU companies.

Although the era of smartphones has not yet arrived, mobile phone CPUs still have zài.

In fact, many people have a lot of misunderstandings, thinking that CPU is a product of a computer, and a computer has a CPU.

But no, the full name of CPU is CPU, and he is a general term for electronic processors.

Not only does he need a computer, but he also needs a variety of electronic products, including mp3s, mobile phones, and even game consoles.

As for why computer CPUs are famous, it's entirely because computer CPUs are more technological.

But other electronic product CPUs have been serving all electronic devices around the world.

One of the most important accessories for smartphones in later generations is undoubtedly the mobile phone CPU.

Compared with computer CPUs, there are only a few companies monopolizing them, but mobile phone CPUs are everywhere.

Not only in Europe and the United States, there are many mobile phone CPU brands, but also in China.

However, most of the domestic mobile phone CPUs are relatively low-end, which cannot be compared with European and American mobile phone CPUs.

But Zhang Ning didn't worry too much about this.

Mobile phone CPUs are not as good as computer CPUs, although domestic technology has not yet caught up. However, after the outbreak of smart phones in the future, domestic mobile phone CPUs have risen and developed rapidly. MediaTek, Spreadtrum, Nufront, Rockchip and so on have emerged successively. Huawei, which started late in the field of electronic CPUs, and CITIC also got involved in later generations, and they did a good job.

Intel.

When looking for the information of the mobile phone CPU, Zhang Ning couldn't help but check the information of Intel.

Intel is a computer CPU manufacturer, although it doesn't seem to have much to do with the mobile phone industry on the surface. Moreover, after the outbreak of smartphones, Intel was once challenged by other manufacturers. However, Intel is still the world's top chip processing manufacturer no matter what. In a word, I can make high-end chips, but I can't make low-end mobile phone chips?

Obviously, Intel has the strength to enter the field of mobile phone CPUs.

It seems that Intel has no idea of entering the field of mobile phone CPUs for the time being.

Looking at some of Intel's recent movements, Zhang Ning analyzed.

Recently Intel is aggressively marketing their Core processors and is in a hot battle with AMD.

In addition, smartphones have not yet shown any potential, and it is believed that they will not enter this market for the time being.

It's just that when he was looking at Intel's information, Zhang Ning found a relatively important piece of information.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has postponed the implementation of the WAPI standard in China.

This message has nothing to do with the chip, WAPI is a technical standard for wireless networks, and there is not much difference from the more popular wifi standards in later generations. The only difference is that WiFi is dominated by the United States, while WAPI is independently developed by China.

This news made Zhang Ning pay attention to it.

The most important thing why a smartphone is smart is not its operating system or its hardware, but that the smartphone can be connected to the Internet. Among them, the wireless LAN standard wifi plays the most important role. It is precisely because of the addition of wifi to the mobile phone that the mobile phone has truly become a smart phone and a new industry.

At present, the era of smart phones has not yet arrived, but the wireless LAN standard has begun to be contested.

Of course, Zhang Ning believes that the wireless LAN standard wifi launched by European and American countries is not intended for smart phones. Most of the time, he's for laptops. In particular, Intel binds WiFi to his WLAN wireless LAN, which also indirectly allows companies such as Intel to control WiFi.

Don't underestimate this one criterion.

Wireless LAN standards, he may seem small, but he is involved in hundreds of billions of dollars in the industry.

Not to mention smartphones, wireless LANs for computers, routers, and various electronic devices all need such a technology. If this standard is forcibly pushed to the world by Europe and the United States, then all electronic devices, he must also use this standard. This will bring huge benefits to standard-setters and standard-setting enterprises.

Perhaps the domestic government is also aware of this, and they have begun to take action and prepare to launch their own WAPI standard.

It seems that the domestic government has lost this contest.

The U.S. stepped in and blocked the implementation of the WAPI standard by the domestic government.

Do you want to do it yourself?

One of the most important standards for smartphones in the future, the wireless LAN standard, must not be subject to others.

In fact, speaking of which, in future generations, 2005 is the best time for China to launch the WAPI standard.

Because the WiFi standard has not yet been fully formed at this time, as long as the Chinese government is tougher, it is not impossible to force the introduction of its own WAPI standard. It's just that there is no regret medicine at all. At home, the government took a slight step back, and the wifi standard quickly took over the world. In particular, after the advent of smartphones, WiFi has monopolized the world.

Basically, all mobile phones in later generations have all supported WiFi.

At that time, it is no longer useful to talk about the introduction of WAPI standards in China.

"Uncle, as the news report says, you were in charge of a recent business meeting with the United States?"

Seeing this news, Zhang Ning took out his mobile phone and called his uncle Xu Baohua.

Xu Baohua is the chief representative of the domestic government in the negotiations with the US Department of Commerce, which was introduced in the news.

"Yes, Xiao Ning."

Xu Baohua's voice revealed a trace of tiredness, and Zhang Ning also heard it.

"Uncle, is the negotiation not going well?"

"Ugh."

Xu Baohua sighed helplessly.

Zhang Ning knew what it meant, but still said, "Uncle, I have to force our WAPI standard immediately." ”

"I know that, too, but there are some things that you can't control."

"This time I negotiated with the U.S. Department of Commerce, and we thought the same as Xiao Ning and you said. The government also saw the huge profit that wireless LAN standards were hiding in this area, so we launched our own standards. Originally, we wanted to implement it immediately. However, the U.S. Department of Commerce has obstructed this, on the one hand, saying that we are engaging in local protectionism, and on the other hand, it has also used the restrictions on high-end chips as an excuse to block our actions. That's why we're considering postponing it. ”

"Uncle, it's not okay to postpone it, this one is suspended, I'm afraid it will have to be postponed for a year or two, and if it's longer, it's possible for three or four years. At this time, the United States has already pushed this standard to the world. Take today's laptops as an example, more and more people have begun to choose laptops, and they will continue to use the WLAN standard. When they get used to it, even if we introduce our own standards, it will be useless. ”

Zhang Ning looked more anxious.

Zhang Ning does not particularly attach importance to computers, but if the wireless LAN standard is not done, he will definitely affect the smartphones of future generations.

If the standard of smart phones in the future is also in the hands of others, I am afraid that your own smart phones will not want to dominate
