Chapter 21: Please Give It a Try
Hudu, Huawei 2012 Laboratory.
It was just six o'clock in the morning, and the person in charge, Gong Xiangdong, had already come to the company.
As far as the eye can see, one-third of the workstations in the hall are still lit, and the engineers with the explosive heads of the chicken coop and the heavy black circles under their eyes seem to have stayed up all night.
"If you continue like this, you're going to be exhausted." Gong Xiangdong let out a deep sigh and muttered to himself in his heart.
The four giants of domestic mobile phones, who have struggled to catch up with Samsung and Apple over the years, have relied on this group of engineers to work a lot of overtime and overwork, and complete it with a tenacity that is unimaginable to normal people.
Of course, the effect is outstanding, and the market share of Samsung mobile phones in China has fallen from the peak of 40 percent to less than 1 percent today.
What is the concept of going from 40 percent to only 1 percent in five years?
A concept that is unique in the world!
Tynyima is murderous!
That's Samsung, the only company on the planet that can manufacture all the parts inside the mobile phone, and has a whole industry chain that is unique in the world.
Samsung alone accounts for 20 percent of South Korea's GDP.
Industry insiders have long pointed out that Samsung is simply a country disguised as a company!
This company is so large that it is taken care of by all departments in Korea from top to bottom.
Any business rival going to war with Samsung is actually going to war against the whole of South Korea! The whole of Korea is unanimous in its efforts to support Samsung in a frenzied manner.
However, the Big Four of domestic mobile phones are at war against Samsung!
It is to compress their market share in Huaxia to less than one percent!
It's just that the sweat and sadness in it, ordinary people outside the industry, will never know.
Gong Xiangdong walked through the hall to his office, put down his file bag and sat at his desk, looking out the window at the fish-white sky, and fell into deep thought.
No matter how hard they try, they still hit the ceiling, and the United States has introduced regulations to completely ban Huawei mobile phones from entering, and there is no way to break into Apple's base camp.
In the European market, the Asian market, and the South American market, Samsung and the four domestic giants are fighting a price war.
Samsung has a whole industry chain, they can make everything themselves, and the cost can be compressed to a very cheap price.
Because of the incomplete industrial chain of Huaxia mobile phones, the four domestic giants also have to purchase a large number of flash memory chips and screens from Samsung.
Some time ago, Samsung made a ruthless move to increase prices.
If you can't do the big four domestic products in the Chinese market, you can make up for it with hardware.
directly and greatly increased the price of flash memory chips and screens, and on the bodies of Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Opal, they were slashed hard and a lot of blood was released.
As a result, now that the annual report has come out, Samsung's mobile phone division has not increased its profit, but the electronics department's profit has risen by 27 percent due to the fact that it has sucked blood from Huaxia.
Huawei is a straight-male company composed of engineers, with more than 200,000 people in the company, of which nearly 100,000 are engineers.
This ratio is really terrifying, resulting in a very linear mindset of this company, which likes to engage in technology, and the harder the opponent presses, the more they invest in technology.
So far, Huawei's annual R&D expenditure has exceeded 100 billion yuan, ranking sixth in the world, and almost all of its capital reserves have been used for R&D.
It is also an industry giant, and Lenovo's annual R&D expenditure is only 8 billion yuan, and it is nicknamed the most enterprising technology giant by netizens.
"Running speed is life, how can we increase the running speed to a level close to Apple's?"
Gong Xiangdong fell into deep thought, his biggest goal was to get close to Apple, as for overtaking in corners, he never dared to think about it.
In order to improve the speed of mobile phones, in addition to Huawei's own laboratory, Gong Xiangdong also visited all the top laboratories in the country, promising huge technical returns, including the artificial intelligence laboratory hosted by Sha Zhan.
"They're here!"
Receiving a call from the secretary, Gong Xiangdong was taken aback, he looked at the electronic watch on the table, it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong had already arrived at their own company?
I guess there's something important...
"What are you doing in a daze, please invite them in." Gong Xiangdong hurriedly said.
When the three of them met, they exchanged pleasantries, and Sha Zhan opened his mouth to praise, "Your new MATE series recently is of very good quality, Pengdong and I are both using it, and I heard rumors that this time you used BOE's screen!" ”
"I really didn't expect that the domestic screen could do so well, providing OLED screens for mobile phones with prices of 6,000 to 15,000, this should be the first time in the world, right?"
Gong Xiangdong smiled bitterly, "It's all tears to say, to manufacture a top-level OLED screen, you need to use a neon country TOKKI brand evaporation machine, which is the most important machine in the entire production line, Apple has regulations that the screen they use must be evaporated by TOKKI's machine." ”
"Do you know what Samsung does? They contracted the production of TOKKI for five whole years, and now there is not even a single machine like this on the market. ”
"It's a forcible technology monopoly again, and I've heard too many of the same things over the years." Gu Pengdong sighed.
Gong Xiangdong continued, "BOE spent an unknown amount of money, found an unknown number of channels, and finally got a TOKKI evaporation machine, which created the OLED screen we needed." ”
"We took it to the test, color accuracy, color gamut, brightness, resolution, analysis, almost all technical indicators, are exactly the same as the top screen produced by Samsung, so we immediately decided to use BOE's screen on our flagship machine."
"As long as the technology of domestic goods is up to standard, of course we support it, but after all, BOE only has one TOKKI evaporation machine, and the output is limited, so this time the MATE series actually uses the screen produced by LG, BOE 60%, LG 40%."
The three of them were silent for a while.
BOE has produced a top-of-the-line 2K screen, and together with the giant screen manufacturer LG, it has become the supplier of Huawei's flagship machine, which is indeed quite uplifting, but it can be carefully pondered, and it is very sad.
begged grandpa to sue grandma, it took an unknown amount of money to get a TOKKI machine pitifully.
This is the way of the world, the industry giants who have long monopolized the market, do their best, the energy is huge, and when they want to block you, you can't even buy a machine.
And the top evaporation machine, this key equipment, only the company in the neon country has the ability to produce, if our country can build its own evaporation machine, still use this bird gas?
Ay~
"Why did you talk about such a heavy topic?" Gong Xiangdong finally reacted, "The two deans came to me early in the morning, shouldn't they be here to catch up?" ”
Sha Zhan smiled slightly and looked at Gu Pengdong.
Gu Pengdong opened the small bag he was carrying and took out three mobile phones from it, which were Apple, Samsung, and Huawei's own flagship mobile phones.
"You try it and see which phone works faster." Sha Zhan said.
Gong Xiangdong frowned, "It's all old friends, don't make this kind of joke, we don't know how many thousands of times we have done such experiments, I admit that our mobile phones don't run as fast as Apple, but it's not okay to keep up with Samsung?" ”
Gong Xiangdong was a little depressed, "You shouldn't have come early in the morning to bury me, right?" It's not as good as people, I'll admit it, but we've been trying. ”
"We all know the situation." Sha Zhan said lightly, "Trust me, give it a try and you'll understand." ”
PS: Chapter 12 pretended to be a force, but he was scolded as a dog.
Every author has his own field of expertise, since everyone thinks that Jiu'er is not good at writing pretends, then don't write, and introduce more technological inventions to you in the future, as well as the current industrial chain pattern.
has written about science fiction and science and technology for nearly ten years, and Jiu'er still knows a little.
PS2: Huawei mate20pro, mate20Pro Porsche Edition, the first supplier is BOE, the second supplier is LG, all are real content.
This is a domestic OLED screen, the first time in history to enter the Android flagship supply chain, Jiu'er is very happy, so it is written into this book.
The joke of the TOKKI evaporation machine is also true, and at present, in the hands of all domestic display manufacturers, there is only this one machine.
There will be no more explanations in the following chapters, in short, the content of Jiu'er's book will be as close as possible to the real status quo of the industry.
