Chapter 372: New Mobile Phones and 'Unstable' 2022
When the annual income is only about a few million, at that time, most of the thoughts are about personal enjoyment!
With normal expenses and an income of several million a year, you can live a very good life in Huaxia!
Happiness and joy!
But if the income is as high as tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even more time.
This money has become pressure.
The average person simply can't spend that much money
Aiying Group is now making hundreds of billions of dollars a year, plus Wu Zhou's AI stock speculation is the same hundreds of billions a year.
So much money?
How can it be spent.
Wu Zhou hopes to use the money to do something meaningful.
For example, the country hopes to develop high technology, and strive to make China break through the middle-income trap as soon as possible and let China return to the top of the world!
Then Wu Zhou will do his best to spend the money in those places
For example, the Queqiao Project.
This plan has greatly improved the scientific research ability and scientific research progress of those 'serious' R&D enterprises in China!
When there are technical difficulties, the Queqiao plan can always be very 'suitable' to give specific solutions or paths!
Short of money, Aiying can supply almost unlimited quantities!
If there is a shortage of people, Aiying can also help coordinate with experts or teams who can help them.
In the name of the Queqiao Project, Wu Zhou's system makes the best use of everything, so that those talents can display their talents!
2021 is the first year of the Queqiao Plan, but this year, the companies on the list of the real Queqiao Plan can clearly feel that the company's development has suddenly entered an explosive period
The technical problems that I thought were broken through one after another.
Some companies that did not participate in the Queqiao plan almost saw their competitors in the same echelon as themselves, 'blinking' kung fu, leaving themselves far behind and entering the ranks of the first echelon of the country, and even the world's leading industry!
It's too fast.
This immediate effect also allows it to be taken to a higher level.
Moreover, the military is also through the Queqiao Plan, directly quoting the R&D capabilities of these 'head' scientific research enterprises in China, and quietly solving one problem after another!
In less than a year, Huaxia's aerospace equipment, agricultural machinery equipment, new materials, industrial machine tools, chips, biomedicine and so on.
There are also 'domestic operating systems', all of which have ushered in unbelievable breakthroughs.
The direct result of the technological breakthrough is that we have greater confidence and save a lot of money when negotiating with relevant foreign manufacturers.
Just like chips, because of the rapid breakthrough of chip-related technologies in 21 years, as of December, the amount of chips imported in 20 years has directly decreased by 500 billion yuan.
At the end of December, the prices of those chips that have not made breakthroughs in chip technology are still high, and the prices of chips that have made breakthroughs have plummeted!
It's completely the scene of 'ice and fire'!
The total amount of chips purchased by Huaxia in the previous year was as high as 3 trillion.
If all related chips have made a good breakthrough, then the follow-up purchase amount of 3 trillion may only need 15,000, or even 1 trillion to purchase back the same number of chips of the same specification.
This is actually the real value of technological independence, technological breakthroughs, and the reason why ordinary people should support domestic production directly related to themselves
On the other hand, Huaxia's desktop-level operating system.
At the end of 2021, Datong Operating System, the global desktop operating system, finally climbed to the second place in the world!
However, there is still a relatively large gap between the second and the first Microsoft!
Microsoft ranks first, with a total of about 800 million users, accounting for nearly 7% of the global operating system.
The number of Apple users is 180 million, accounting for about 1% of the global share, that is to say, the global operating system, Migo alone accounts for nearly 8 percent!
Datong operating system ranked second, but the total number of users broke through to 200 million at the end of the year!
The same is true for mobile phone operating systems!
Android and Apple, two Chinese companies, occupy the vast majority of the global market share!
And in 2021, this market pattern will be completely broken, and there will be a new choice, Hongmeng! The total number of users reached 210 million by the end of the year!
As for the mobile version of Aiying's Datong operating system!
Although the follow-up successively, major mobile phone companies have taken the initiative to contact Aiying to try to develop a new mobile phone model, which is specially used for brands equipped with Datong operating system, but in the follow-up cooperation details, the miscellaneous grain mobile phone was the first to withdraw!
"It's a niche product, and it's such a cumbersome polishing detail! All of a sudden, the R&D cost of the entire product has been raised! ”
In short, the company's internal accounting, this money can't be earned!
The most important thing is that Aiying has extremely high requirements for product details. As a direct consequence, R&D expenses far exceed expectations.
In addition, the price of the product will also rise!
It's like a child's school test score, 0-60 points are the easiest to improve, and the higher the score, the more difficult it is to improve, and the more effort will be put in!
Aiying's requirements for the quality of products are almost in the same vein as the chrysanthemum factory, and even in individual details, Aiying's requirements are higher!
This is equivalent to saying that the child has scored 95 points in the exam, and he is still not satisfied, and he has to improve, and he has to improve to 98, and he is required to continue to improve.
"As long as Aiying produces products, then the quality must be the best possible! We only do high-quality products, not garbage! ”
R&D expenses and product material costs are rapidly rising in this process, and only the price of those high-end machines can afford such a 'high cost' of excellence!
In the past two years, because of the threat of losing the 'chip' of the mobile phone of the chrysanthemum factory, the price of Qualcomm chips has doubled!!
In disguise, it has also greatly compressed the space for major mobile phone manufacturers to choose 'high-quality' components!
I want to continue to make profits.
Then it can only be a way to open source and reduce expenditure.
Raise part of the premium of the chip price increase to the direct product price!
"In the past 21 years, major mobile phone brands have been working hard to hit the high-end, mainly for this reason!"
But the reality is very cruel, more than 90% of the market share vacated by the price of mobile phones with a price of more than 5,000 yuan and chrysanthemum factories has been eaten by Apple!
Not to mention foreign consumers, even domestic consumers, do not recognize their 'high-end'!
So they can only continue to roll in the low-end market!
"Aiying has many long-term partners, the reason is that our company has always adhered to the principle of win-win cooperation! We are willing to share the risk with our partners! ”
"The risks and benefits must be equal!"
"All the R&D costs of the new series, we can bear 50%, 60%, or even 90% of the R&D costs, but after we bear the R&D costs, we will also get the corresponding proportion of income for this series of mobile phones!"
This is a 'supplementary agreement' signed by Aiying and the remaining brands.
However.
In the first month of cooperation with each other, there began to be withdrawals, four months later, seeing that the speed of soaring R&D costs is too outrageous, it is clear that the actual product is already OK, but Aiying still did not agree, fortunately, Wu Zhou gave a supplementary cooperation agreement later, Aiying is willing to bear most of the R&D costs! This made the remaining brands a little more relieved to know that Aiying was not playing with them!
Finally, in the fifth month, that is, in February 2022, during the Spring Festival, the 'definitive version' of the prototype product was released.
This is a product that can be directly benchmarked against the Juchang P50 mobile phone, at the software level, the related AI technology is not different!
At the hardware level, although it is still mainly imported components, the proportion of domestic production has increased significantly! It has jumped from about 10% to about 35%!
However, in the process of cooperation with some domestic component companies, there are still some products that do not meet the requirements of this time, but only need to make some progress.
"As long as you maintain your current R&D efforts, I believe that the next opportunity for cooperation will not be too long!"
Of course, these words, Wu Zhou is not empty words!
The follow-up is to ask if you need any help, lack of money, lack of people, or lack of technology! These Ai Ying can help, directly or indirectly!
The follow-up is the preparation before the product is launched!
During the Spring Festival in 2022, when everyone has a holiday and celebrates the Spring Festival!
At the same time, the international community can not stop!
At the end of January 2022, a certain country began to prepare for an interest rate hike!
At the end of February, two neighbors in Huaxia suddenly got into a fight!
In March, the United States officially decided to raise interest rates!
There's something going on these days.,There's no time code word.,I'll try to keep changing it first! (The first two days of updates were on time, that is, one chapter was blocked and one chapter was reviewed)
