Chapter 241: Purple Bee Technique
200 million US dollars, not a decimal number.
General Electric took so much money and 'lobbied' Director Xu, first, this amount of money was far less than the loss caused by 'Rennie Pufei'.
Second, although the Kirov airship is a hot seller, it still does not affect the status of Hangmu because of various restrictions. In order to obtain supercapacitors, General Electric researched Hangmu catapults, and in the past year, thousands of big red flags were dismantled, and it cost 1.5 billion US dollars just to buy a car.
Now electric toys, RGB toys, and power banks all use supercapacitors, and Chairman Welch roughly totals them, feeling that he is very wronged, and decided to find a tin company to purchase supercapacitors directly.
Third, after many investigations, such as arresting people who fled to North America in Beijing, bribing Xu Fei's secretary team, consulting the Marine Corps who contacted Xu Fei, consulting Takeuchi Yoshino, consulting intermediary Ichiro, Inagawa Junzo, etc., all said: Doing things with adults with money has an excellent reputation.
"Mr. Xu, what do you see?"
Xu Fei looked at the paper sandwiched in the text, reached out his ring finger with his right hand, and carefully counted the 0 on it, confirming that it was 200 million.
Negotiation is negotiation, why do you still send money?
Recently, the superiors have been making a lot of money!
But don't do it, Dongshan will build fewer roads and schools......
Xu Fei was entangled for a moment, thinking of the laboratory that was analyzing the purple bee technology, and decided to delay the time.
He secretly tucked the check into his cuff and coughed, "I have already felt the sincerity of your company, and I believe that Mr. Foreman will definitely be interested in the Purple Bee technique, but I need time to convince him." ”
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
In GE's view, if Xu Fei calls the shots on the spot, it means that what Reni Pufei did was instructed by Xu Fei, and he could communicate with Dongfang if he couldn't talk about it this time.
If Xu Fei asks for Foreman's opinion......
That's what Forman did.
You need to communicate with Germany.
However, Germany is a bit stiff with North America because of the anti-monopoly investigation.
And the army is being expanded......
I hope Xu Fei can get Foreman and don't make things so complicated. ’
Welch, chairman of General Electric, thought about it, and saw Xu Fei walking out of the conference room with his mobile phone, just about to ask the translator of the iron company when the next meeting would be.
saw Xu Fei walking back again with his mobile phone.
"Mr. Foreman agreed."
“……”
Your speed is even more efficient than the legend says!
Welch was fascinated.
Xu Fei originally planned to suspend the talks, go to the test area, see how the analysis of the purple bee technology is, and wait for the evening to continue the debate.
But when he walked out of the conference room, he suddenly received a pop-up prompt from the base.
Successful inclusion of a short-range radio technology, unnamed.
After looking at the introduction and function, I will know what the so-called 'development based on the IEEE802.15.4 wireless standard developed by the International Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering' means.
It's like U Ace B.
Pingguo produces computers, IBM produces computers, HP produces computers, 7UP produces computers, and Lenovo assembles computers.
If each company launches a kind of interface, the mouse and keyboard are not universal, the mechanical hard disk needs to prepare several more data cables, and the self-invented U disk is only suitable for one model.
To this end, many electrical and electronic companies, such as Dot, Soft, HP, Texas Instruments, NEC, AMD, Nokia, Seagate, Samsung, etc., in order to save money and not involve conflicts of interest, they have cooperated with the non-profit organization U-port developer forum to launch a common interface, and the relevant technology is open and can be used by all manufacturers.
Therefore, there is no so-called patent authorization for U-port, and even if there is, it is authorized to the 'International Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering' for free promotion.
Including type-a that reduces the appearance, as well as type-b and type-c that may appear in the future.
】
But that's just the 'basics'.
If a company, based on this standard, makes a mini U port that transmits data faster and adds a protocol to it, then external companies need patent authorization to use the mini U port.
Therefore.
Ericsson developed Bluetooth technology based on the IEEE802.15.1 wireless standard.
Based on the IEEE802.15.4 wireless standard, Honeywell developed the Purple Bee technology, which was later transferred to General Electric because of business exchange.
In short, both technologies are not difficult, and manufacturing a network module is very simple, even requiring only a dollar or two.
It's a pity that Ericsson will play, shouting Toshiba, IBM, Intel, Nokia, etc., founded the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), and soon launched version 0.8, version 0.9, version 1.0draft, version 1.0a with higher speeds......
The speed is getting faster and faster, and the prospects are very bright, but now the licensing fee is only 2 US dollars, which has led to more and more companies joining SIG, and there are currently at least 2,000.
On the other hand, the Purple Bee technology.
Since there are no partners, there is not much technology and scientific research funding, and it is still in the original version, which has been thrown away by Bluetooth.
If there is no opportunity, this thing will be launched on the stage of history sooner or later.
Of course, as previously thought, Purple Bee technology is very suitable for 'gaming handheld interconnection'.
So, as long as the technology is real, it's okay to put aside grievances with GE.
Xu Fei dropped his phone and sat back in his place, "Mr. Foreman is very interested in Zigbee and Zibee Network. ”
"Great, thank you, Mr. Xu."
"In this way, you transfer the Purple Bee technology, transfer the Purple Bee patent, and then transfer the supercapacitor patent that belongs to us, and we will go our separate ways in the future."
"Mr. Xu, we plan to order a batch of supercapacitors."
"Oh? This thing is the core technology of our iron company. ”
Xu Fei said, rubbing his ring finger with his right thumb, as if there was something on it, and the topic once again pulled back to purple bees and Bluetooth.
"Without Bluetooth, Purple Bee would definitely have great business value. But Bluetooth has evolved to version 1.1, and it is gradually accepted by many electronic manufacturers, plus Bluetooth 1-to-1 connection, enough to meet the data exchange of most electronic devices, and now the patent value of purple bee technology, not to mention that there is no one in ten, I am afraid that it is not one in million, and it is a bit whimsical to exchange this technology for the purchase right of supercapacitors. ”
The person in charge of the General Electric Laboratory said: "Mr. Xu, don't compare Bluetooth anymore, it is not a product with Purple Bee, you should compare it with WiFi, you know, Bluetooth has a high latency, and it is not a continuous signal, which is not suitable for playing games." Zigbee only has a latency of 15ms, even if the speed is low, but I can guarantee that it is enough to support all existing handheld game interconnection, even if CS, Age of Empires, Command and Conquest, transplanted to the power bank, it can still use the 'map coordinates', with fewer characters, to complete LAN battles. ”
Xu Fei was slightly stunned, "Transplant CS, Age of Empires, Command and Conquest to the power bank?" Good idea! ”
The head of the GE laboratory was also stunned, "I seem to have a very good suggestion for you." ”
"Thank you."
“……”
Welch, chairman of General Electric, didn't notice someone's thumb and ring finger, and took over the conversation, "Mr. Xu, we can also give your company a set of patented programmable controller technology." ”
"For example?"
"No, for example, a generic PLC."
PLC, together with robotics and CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing), are the three pillars of modern industrial automation.
It integrates automation technology, computer technology and communication technology to perform instructions for storing logical operations and sequence control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations, and controls various types of mechanical equipment and production processes through input and output interfaces.
The computer that comes with the basic production line is a fusion of PLC + CAD/CAM, and the basic production line is equivalent to robot + industrial manufacturing.
Therefore, no matter how bullish the PLC is, it is of no value to his own family except for giving it to Director Liang of Development and Reform.
Xu Fei was just about to veto it and let the other party change something, when he suddenly remembered a very important thing.
What is the purpose of doing this and that, and hoarding a lot of energy?
Disaster avoidance.
Where to take refuge?
Himalayan.
Here's the problem.
Is the Himalayan surname Xu?
Definitely not surnamed.
"If you build a set of PLC containing patented technology, manufacture it, and give Director Liang a few sets, or even dozens of sets, hundreds of sets, plus its own industrial robots, and machine tools that can be produced now, etc., Huaxia's industrial base will not be able to rise to countless heights?" ’
'How much land can be exchanged for the Himalayas for these contributions?' ’
"We can't use it if we have more, forget about one Everest, and change its name to Xu Feng in the future." ’
Besides, the superior has PLC, robots, and machine tools, what is missing? ’
'Industrial design. ’
'Its own industrial design company, Tang Mo's design consulting company, will soon be able to usher in a period of business explosion, become bigger and stronger, monopolize the whole industry, and realize the original dream. ’
What dreams?
The design company's building was transformed into corridors, which were arranged one by one, and each room was hung with signs at the door.
'Trainee Designer', 'Junior Designer', 'Intermediate Designer', 'Senior Designer', 'Chief Designer', 'Chief Designer', what other masters, experts, professors......
Then make an appointment to get a number, queue up for treatment, get a film tomorrow, return the day after tomorrow, make an appointment to get a number, and queue up for treatment......
Xu Fei made a decision, continued to rub his thumb and ring finger, and motioned to look at the other side, "Super capacitor, the headquarters card is relatively strict." ”
Seeing this, Welch, chairman of General Electric, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly presented a document again.
There are 100 million US dollars in the middle.
Xu Fei put away his grinding fingers, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's it, I'll open a note for you, you go to Berlin, Germany, don't say General Electric, just say that Daze Branch needs to develop materials and extract a batch of supercapacitors, let's go through the internal supply process, but the payment has to be handed over to me, after all, we still have to settle with the headquarters." ”
"Thank you, Director Xu."
"You're welcome."
What's more, the identity of this migrant worker is getting easier and easier to use.
Xu Fei felt for the two checks in his pocket, handed over the internal price to the military division regiment for processing, walked out of the conference room, and went straight to the ICBC building at the door.
In the new year, it is time to increase the performance of the bank.
………
January 20th, the seventh day of the first lunar month.
After two days of exchanges, the iron company and General Electric reached a cooperation in Daze Hotel.
The two sides formed the 'Purple Bee Alliance' to launch the Purple Bee standard in the field of industrial manufacturing, and fully adopt the standard, including but not limited to machining, shipbuilding industry, short-distance communications, electrical products, and electronic products.
For example, the remote control with Purple Bee technology can replace infrared rays and be used to control microwave ovens, induction cookers, refrigerators, washing machines, and so on without barriers.
For example, the walkie-talkie with purple bee technology can use the signal amplifier to allow the crew of the entire ship to make encrypted calls without interference.
For example, the power bank implanted in the purple bee module, after updating the firmware next month, can realize the interaction between players and players within a radius of 1,000 meters, and even five people can explore in a team.
As soon as the news came out, the world's major enterprises, except for the two companies that were surprised to die and live, actually came together, and they were not very optimistic about the prospects of the purple bee network.
Because not only Bluetooth technology has matured, WiFi also has a good growth environment in Europe and the United States, and purple bee technology is not used at all.
In the midst of all kinds of doubts, the iron company launched the purple bee module replacement business.
Any electric version of the mechanical Sanguo+ remote control can be replaced with the previous infrared module by the purple bee module at the nearest TEP direct store.
As a result, the remote control distance of the electric version of the machinery has increased from 5 meters to 50~100 meters, and it is more power-saving, which is one-tenth ~ one-fifth of the previous one.
Material cost: 20 US dollars.
Labor cost: Free during the event, $5 after one month.
In addition, the power bank replaces the purple bee module and updates the firmware, which can replace the remote control of the electric version of the mechanical three countries, and you can check the power of the three mechanical countries at the same time.
Material cost: 20 US dollars.
Labor cost: Free during the event, $5 after one month.
If you add a camera module to the electric version of the machine, the power bank can be used as a 'remote control camera', and it can achieve short-term over-the-horizon control.
Material cost: 100 US dollars.
Labor cost: Free during the event, $5 after one month.
At the same time, RGB directly operated stores have launched a series of services to replace Purple Bee modules.
In this way, I was stunned by Bandai, Sony, and Nintendo, who like to 'renew'.
In the case of Bandai, Sony, and Nintendo, if there is a new technology, it will definitely launch the next generation of products, not replace the hardware.
But in doing so, not only does it secure market share and keep players happy, but it also opens up new markets......
However, after the introduction of the concept of a 'system' where games can be installed at any time, the hardware of the handheld is no longer 'embedded' and cannot be played in this way.
In other words, if it is embedded, each hardware is independent, and what function you want, add the corresponding hardware, and then connect the controller, and you can complete it.
After the introduction of the system, one chip coordinates all the hardware, and if the hardware is added, the chip must be replaced and the system upgraded.
Of course, the embedded drawbacks are also obvious, and it is not possible to install new games.
It's like a power bank, you can only play Heavy Mechanic.
But with the precedent of the purple bee module, the three companies can be completely sure that the iron company will integrate the next game into the hardware and continue to solder it to the motherboard of the power bank.
This principle is very simple, similar to the little overlord with a card.
It's just that this card, which is miniaturized, is soldered directly inside the console, not inserted into it.
………
TEP Computer Services, Inc., Underground Division.
Xu Fei wandered around the electronics lab, checking out many new products.
RC airplanes, RC cars, RC model airplanes, RC ......
After obtaining the purple bee technology, its own industry ushered in a comprehensive upgrade.
Perhaps this is related to the integration of radar communication and the inability to promote overseas, resulting in the use of backward infrared remote control technology.
Now with Purple Bee, not only has a large number of remote control products been created, but also the electric version of the mechanical Three Kingdoms has grown to the point of a simplified version of the horror robot.
Unfortunately, the data transmission rate is too low, resulting in the picture captured by the camera, on the remote control or power bank screen, one frame per second, just like a stuck machine, even if the resolution of the shooting is reduced, it cannot form a video, and can only be used as a 'remote camera'.
'It's good to make progress. ’
After Xu Fei checked the new product, he asked the researchers to speed up the research of the second-generation purple bee technology, and then came to the northern test area.
Another three days passed, and the US-British coalition forces had entered the city of Bargada, and the exchange of fire was still one-sided.
And the 'invincible battalion' arranged by Morgan has begun to secretly transport gold and cash.
However, due to their weight and size, they are all very large, and transportation is extremely cumbersome, resulting in slow movement.
This is also considered to leave time for your own family.
At present, the Electrical + Mechanical Laboratory is rushing to make a graphite boom to replace the big belly of the horror robot.
At that time, 100 terrifying robots will crawl into the designated location, and after the boom, all electronic equipment will fail, and the Navy SEALs will be able to easily take the North American base.
