In the mobile phone industry, sales volume doesn't tell the whole story.

In later generations, Apple's mobile phone shipments only accounted for 20% of the market, but in terms of profits, they accounted for 85% of the profits of the global mobile phone industry.

Infinity is the first to enter the era of smart phones, and only needs to maintain a leading position in technology to gradually form an absolute monopoly level in the world mobile phone market.

The reason why we do not take the high-end (high-price) route is, on the one hand, to allow smartphones to be quickly popularized, and secondly, the price is low, which can also invisibly dispel the idea of many companies to enter this market.

From the beginning, Chen Weidong did not plan to rely on the sales of mobile phones to make money.

Even in special cases, these phones can be given away for free.

Take the key machine of this period as an example, although the hardware is still excellent, the profit growth point is still too little.

When a user buys a new mobile phone, it means that his short-term commercial value has been squeezed out.

Because people will use this phone for at least a year or two before they consider changing to a new one.

And the button machine, in terms of function, is nothing more than making calls, sending text messages, these businesses can't make a lot of money at all, and even if there is, it is taken away by the telecom company.

What can really make users willing to pay money is always the software in the mobile phone, as well as various incidental value-added services.

Such as games, videos, music, subscriptions, and many more.

Smartphones integrate the world's highest technology crystallization, and only through this carrier can the various complex functions of the application software be realized and brought into full play.

This is also the reason why after the emergence of smart phones, traditional button machines will be eliminated from the market so quickly.

Infinity is in an absolute dominant position in terms of PC, mobile and software.

As long as users use their computers and mobile phones, they will inevitably use the software they develop.

This is the real monopoly.

Instead of doing everything possible to suppress and slander peers.

This means is too low-level.

Chen Weidong is confident that in terms of software, they have done the best, and if it weren't for this, Infinity would not have caught up with Western technology so quickly.

It's just that from the perspective of the reborn, he is also aware of the ceiling of the software industry.

Although China's software industry will usher in a period of extreme prosperity in the next ten years, there has been no breakthrough after all.

In reality, the progress of scientific research wants to accelerate again, so as to surpass the West, and continue to lead, reaching unattainable heights that are unattainable by the other side, and the potential of software has been exhausted.

A different path had to be found.

Not only that, if Huaxia wants to develop the digital economy, do industrial upgrading, and make a leap in productivity, then high-intensity computer computing power is a necessary condition for development.

This is the technique that really jams the neck.

In recent years, with the rise of infinity companies, the family has become a big business, and its own scientific and technological level has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, in terms of development path, there has been a bifurcation between Infinity and Western technology, and Chen Weidong is no longer so interested in obtaining some advanced Western technology.

The birth of the photonic computer has brought earth-shaking changes to the research department of the headquarters of Infinity.

On this day, Chen Weidong was in the office, chatting casually with Li Xi'er, when the phone behind him suddenly rang.

On the wall next to the phone, an LCD screen lit up, revealing a portrait.

This is the internal telephone of the infinity company, and only the internal telephone of the company has the function of fiber optic communication and video phone.

Since all of the company's communications are made of fiber optics, every employee's home living on the company's campus is equipped with this videophone as part of the company's benefits.

It is a flexible screen made of luminous organic matter, which can be directly attached to the wall or spread on the table, and transmit video signals through the camera.

Company insiders, just enter their own identification code, and then dial the phone, their avatar will appear on the other party's screen for the other party to identify.

Chen Weidong saw that what appeared on the screen was Yu Guangbin, the leader of the photonic computer project team during the holidays, but on the sofa in the living room behind him, Liu Weitao and others were still sitting, discussing what problems were around a laptop.

He smiled and sat up straight in his office chair and said to the screen, "What are you guys doing here?" I remember you weren't on vacation? Why do you still get together for a meeting? ”

"Mr. Chen, I'm looking for you for this matter!" Yu Guangbin said with a wry smile: "Since the successful development of photonic chips, the enthusiasm of researchers in several major laboratories has been unprecedentedly high, and many topics that were previously limited to theory have become possible. ”

"Although you forced them to take a vacation, they still met in private to discuss problems, how can this be a real peace of mind!"

"I also heard from some researchers' families that these days, they haven't slept on time, the old Liao of the optoelectronic laboratory, researcher Liao, you know, he checked the information when he got home, and I heard that he hadn't slept for two days!"

"You let me supervise them, and I can only go around everyone's house and force them to rest, but this is not a long-term solution, Mr. Chen, you see, if this continues, not only will they not be able to recuperate, but it will increase the burden and be harmful to the body!"

Chen Weidong looked behind him, and the researchers who had no distractions to discuss the topic were also helpless.

The company's researchers don't like to take vacations very much.

Most of them are usually boring in life, even a little withdrawn, even if they are social, they are limited to academic circles, and they are very pure scientific researchers.

Like researcher Liao, there are not a few people who have been doing research day and night during the holidays, which has to attract Chen Weidong's attention, if these people, in the rest, but exhausted, that is the company's biggest loss.

After being silent for a while, Chen Weidong spoke: "In this way, let's organize a tour group to take a look at the famous mountains and rivers across the country, you inform me, everyone in the six laboratories must participate, it is regarded as work, and I will personally lead the team!" ”

"That's what I mean!" Yu Guangbin breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to convince these old stubborns, you have to help do the persuasion work!" ”

The two of them made a video call, both of which were hands-free, and Liu Weitao and others in the living room heard it, and immediately roared: "Don't go, don't go!" What a tour, play the piano indiscriminately! Now many projects are bright, and when they see the future, ghosts go to travel! ”

"It's better for you to go, we won't go anyway!"

Li Xi'er also heard their conversation, covering her mouth and snickering beside her.

Chen Weidong's face turned pale: "Playing the piano randomly? I think you're playing the piano randomly! The way of civil and martial arts, one by one, you don't understand this truth even when you are old? ”

"Fooling around like you is not caring for yourself and being irresponsible to the company!"

"You are exhausted, the company will not only have to bear your medical expenses, but more importantly, the research work you are engaged in will also be put on hold, in this case, whether it will speed up the research progress or delay the research, you will calculate it yourself!"

"In short, I don't care what your reasons are, the day after tomorrow at noon, I ask you to bring all the relatives in the family, and everyone gathers! I don't believe it, I can't take care of you old men! ”
