Chapter 156 - Plan to Promote PHS (Big Chapter)

The acquisition of Pixar and the establishment of a digital light and magic company are not urgent. You know, both companies need high-performance computers, or graphics workstations.

As the saying goes: If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

SGI-Silicon Map is the most well-known graphics workstation developer at present, and just last year, Silicon Map launched the first batch of RISC (Reduced Instruction Set) workstations, becoming the first batch of RISC workstations in the world.

Videos such as "Jurassic Park," "The Lord of the Rings," and "Emergency Landing" were produced on SGI's graphics workstations.

The success of "Titanic" is also largely due to its extensive use of computer animation, which successfully simulated the tragic scene at that time. Digital Domain, a world-renowned digital studio, spent a year and a half using more than 300 SGI Super Workstations to create the computer stunts in Titanic.

This shows the significance of the graphics workstation for computer special effects companies.

It just so happens that the computer developed by Wujiang Group is also a RISC computer, which belongs to high-performance computing, and as long as it is improved, it can develop a graphics workstation, and is expected to make great achievements in the field of supercomputing, competing with the American silicon map company and IBM.

In the past, SGI achieved more than half of the market share of the world's 500 largest supercomputers in the field of supercomputing.

And in this life, history may change.

Wujiang should have a slice of the supercomputer market.

When it comes to the research of RISC (Reduced Instruction Set) computers, neither SGI nor ARM can catch up with the boundless.

Under the leadership of Zhao Ye, Wujiang is committed to the research of RISC chips, and has successively launched 8-bit Kirin 1 processors and 16-bit Kirin 2 processors, and now even 32-bit Kirin 3 processors are about to be developed.

In fact, it is not difficult to develop a 32-bit RISC processor.

ARM's parent company, Acorn Computer, developed the 32-bit ARM1 chip in less than a year a few years ago, and also launched a microcomputer with the ARM1 chip.

After several years of development, the technical team of Loongson Design Company has already been cultivated, and its technology far exceeds that of ARM.

As long as you simply compare a set of data, you can know the gap between the current Loongson design company and ARM.

ARM Developer: About 10 people.

Kirin microprocessor series developers: about 200 people.

The two are simply not the same.

Although ARM has a 32-bit processor, its performance is not powerful, and it can only be improved continuously.

The Kirin series designed by Loongson Design Company was rushed for powerful performance from the beginning.

Only by striving for excellence, the 32-bit Kirin 3 processor can be used on personal computers and compete with Intel chips.

And ARM chips, so far, have been difficult to be used on a large scale in personal computers.

In addition, because of the competition from Kirin 1 and Kirin 2 chips, ARM has become more difficult to develop.

If nothing else, ARM has no chance of rising at all.

In fact, Loongson Design Company aims to create an incomparably advanced "Loongson architecture", which is researched and designed by Zhao Ye based on his previous understanding of ARM, MIPS, RSIC-V and other reduced instruction set architectures.

There is no need to think too much about patents, because many technologies have not yet been developed.

Then, as long as Loongson Design Company is the first to develop these technologies, these technologies belong to Loongson Design Company's patents, and can also curb the development of competitors.

The advantages of Loongson architecture chips are great, such as small size, low cost, low power consumption, high performance, fast instruction execution speed, pipeline processing mode, and modular functions......

The modular functions of the "Loongson Architecture" are designed so that they can be developed according to the specific scenario and then select the appropriate instruction set. This modularity allows developers to easily design server CPUs, home appliance CPUs, industrial CPUs, and even CPUs for sensors smaller than a finger based on the Loongson instruction set architecture.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many developers of the Kirin series of chips.

It can be seen that the Kirin chip is actually a kind of Loongson architecture.

Now, as long as the Kirin 3 processor comes out, Borderless can release the PC brand and further design and develop graphics workstations, servers, and supercomputers.

……

At noon, Zhao Ye had dinner with the senior executives of the studio at the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio and chatted by the way.

Zhao Ye picked up a piece of beef and chewed it slowly, while listening to them talk about the studio.

"Boss, the works of Zheng Yuanjie, the king of domestic fairy tales, are very good, and our studio intends to adapt his works, such as "Shuke and Beta", I don't know if you have seen it." Xu Xiangming, the director of the studio, said while eating.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he instantly thought of "Shuke who drove a plane, Beta who drove a tank", although he hadn't seen fairy tales, but he had watched cartoons, and his children loved to watch cartoons at that time, and he also watched a little bit with him.

"Shuke and Beta" is a very interesting work, and the popularity is quite high.

So, Zhao Ye suggested: "I haven't seen it, but you can try to adapt it." ”

"Boss, I think we can make biographical cartoons of historical figures to spread Chinese culture and let children learn Chinese history through cartoons!" Director Tang Cheng suggested.

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "This idea is good, and it deserves strong support!" ”

"It should be broadcast in Hong Kong and Treasure Island, so that children in the two places can watch it, so that some children don't even know about China's history when they grow up."

In addition, it will be sent to TV stations around the world for free to spread Chinese history and culture, so that foreigners can know that China is a big country of etiquette and has a long history of 5,000 years. Unlike the United States, which has only been founded for more than 200 years, it occupies this fertile land of North America by dirty means......"

If Lao Mei dares to disgust herself in the future, she will take the initiative to help make American historical cartoons and take the initiative to publicize how Americans have gained a foothold in the Americas.

What a glorious day!

This is a free America, a democratic America!

Zhao Ye took two sips of chicken soup and continued: "You can also adapt Chinese mythological stories, come to think of it, such cartoons will definitely be very popular." Alas, there are so many cultures in China, if you really adapt them all, you can't be busy! ”

Zhao Ye smiled.

Xu Xiangming, Wan Laiming and others thought so, and nodded involuntarily in agreement.

Zhao Ye suddenly thought at this time that although there are many good things in China, it cannot completely negate foreign works.

Disney's "The Lion King", can the American studio produce it?

And what about Jurassic Park?

What about Harry Potter?

What about Pirates of the Caribbean?

Isn't it okay to change the magic and add a lot of Chinese elements?

Who says there is no magic in China?

China not only has magic, but also Qimen Dunjia, astrology, Maoshan Taoism, Gu and so on.

Japan's ninjutsu comes from China's Qimen Dunjia, and a Chinese version of "Fire Hidden Ninja"? Isn't it fragrant?

Zhao Ye's heart was full of thoughts, and it was difficult to say them all for a while.

But the most important thing at the moment is to get ahead of Disney and make "The Lion King".

"The Lion King" is Disney's cross-era masterpiece, a global classic epic, and the pinnacle of the 2D animation era.

Zhao Ye feels that the animation production skills of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio are no worse than Disney's, and what Disney can do, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio can also do.

Immediately, Zhao Ye chatted with everyone about the story of "The Lion King".

"By the way, I have a story about "The Lion King" here, you can take a look, can you make it into an animated movie?!" Zhao Ye said.

When the people heard this, they listened attentively.

"The Lion King is a story about the revenge of a little lion...... The lion cub is called Simba, and he is the little prince of the lion kingdom, and his father Mufasha is a majestic king. However, his uncle Scar has long coveted Mufasha's throne. However, in order to sit on the throne, Scar must get rid of the little prince, so Scar uses various excuses to let Simba go out, and then waits for the opportunity to kill, but is rescued by Mufasa immediately......

After repeated calculations, Mufasha died tragically at the hands of Scar, who had ulterior motives to persuade Simba to leave, and on the one hand, sent people to kill him. During Simba's escape, he meets the witty Timon and the kind-hearted Pemba, who raise Simba to grow into a majestic lion and encourage him to return to the forest. In the next struggle to restore the country and save the people, Simba really grew into a strong man and understood the true meaning of responsibility! ”

Just saying that, they may not be able to make "The Lion King" well, Zhao Ye thought about it and added: "After I go back, I will write a more detailed content for you to adapt into an animated movie." ”

In the previous life, "The Lion King" had a very high revenue, creating $15.4 billion for home entertainment, box office revenue, derivative licensing, musicals, etc., becoming one of the 50 most profitable IPs in the world, ranking 27th.

In any case, Disney can't be cheapened, that's an act of rivalry.

In order to ensure success as soon as possible, Zhao Ye felt that it was necessary for him to write the story of "The Lion King" well, determine the style of the animated film, and give some opinions from time to time.

15.4 billion US dollars, it is worth Zhao Ye's trouble.

In addition, Zhao Ye also wanted Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio to make "Jurassic Park" out and make it into an animated film, and arrange for someone to adapt it and distribute it abroad.

"Jurassic Park" is relatively tight, it was published by Michael Clayton in 1990.

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio has changed its magic, and the names of people and places have been changed, as long as the plot is roughly the same.

As long as the work was released in 1988, more than a year before Michael Clayton's work, who would dare to say that Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio plagiarized?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but outline a smile at the corner of his mouth, this rebirth is good, many things in the future, I know it, it's difficult to get rich or not!

Zhao Ye put down the dishes and chopsticks, he was full.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head to Xu Xiangming, the director of the studio, and said: "By the way, Director Xu, this year, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio must make a "Pokemon" animated movie, and then "Dragon Quest", "The Legend of Zelda", "Final Fantasy" ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ye's tone was stunned, he was hesitating to make "Hulu Brothers" into an animated movie.

Save grandpa, fighting snake spirits is the main line, but you have to add more branches to enrich the plot of the movie, otherwise the movie is too monotonous, and there is not much content to say.

There are many professional screenwriters in Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, they are much more professional than themselves, and they are still called when they make up stories.

The game "Hulu Brothers" is very popular all over the world, with a large number of fans, and the animated movie of the same name has come out, and there should be many fans who actively support it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ye finally decided to shoot "Hulu Brothers", he instructed: "There is also "Hulu Brothers", which will also be made into an animated movie!" ”

With more than 3,200 employees and a sufficient number of artists, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio has a large number of artists, and it is not a problem to set up multiple projects at the same time.

Those who are interested in the production of animation films in China can only seek work at the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, and other domestic enterprises will not be able to run animation companies at all, and will suffer from both Japanese animation and Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio animation.

Both of these cartoons are free, so how can other companies compete? It's no fun at all......

TV stations won't buy your cartoons at all, isn't it fragrant to have free cartoons?

This has also led to the fact that the scale of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio is snowballing, getting bigger and bigger.

Zhao Ye is happy to see this.

With the help of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, he can make all the IP that exploded in his previous life into cartoons in advance and preemptively register the copyright.

However, Zhao Ye can be regarded as having a conscience, and he will grab foreign first, as for domestic IP, it doesn't matter, you can grab it or not.

As a university professor, Zhao Ye's writing ability is also okay.

Basically, you can clearly express your thoughts through words.

A few days later, Zhao Ye handed over the story outline of "The Lion King" and "Jurassic Park" to Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, which was a big thing.

I didn't forget to remind them that they had to send someone to Africa to collect style, so that the animated image drawn would be vivid.

……

In the United States, Disney has not yet started production of The Lion King.

It is said that the work "The Lion King" was inspired by the late 1988 period, and the production of the film began in 1991.

By the time Disney was ready to make it, the daylilies were cold.

"Brother Wang, send me to Wujiang Communication Technology Company." Zhao Ye instructed Wang Shuang, the driver and bodyguard in front.

"Okay."

Under the gaze of Xu Xiangming and others, several black tiger heads rushed away.

……

"Boss, PHS technology has been successfully developed and has applied for patents in various major countries. You see, when will PHS technology be promoted? Lu Jia looked forward to it.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he was a little hesitant, if PHS technology is promoted now, then what should the BB machine do?

The cost of PHS is very low, and the price is not much more expensive than the BB machine.

Once PHS is listed, it is bound to seize the market of BB machines.

Alas, this made Zhao Ye in a dilemma.

"PHS aside, at present, has Motorola launched a text BB machine?" Zhao Ye asked.

"Motorola has not yet announced it to the public, but according to the grapevine, Motorola's text BB machine has also been successfully developed and is about to enter the mass production stage."

When Zhao Ye heard this, he thought for a while and said: "From now on, the factory will make every effort to produce two-way text BB machines and program-controlled switches, and one-way BB machines will be discontinued, and they will be sold before other companies launch text BB machines." ”

"In addition, contact the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to test their attitude and whether they are willing to promote PHS technology in China!"

PHS wants to cover the whole country, it needs to invest in the construction of many base stations, which costs a lot of money, and must be carefully considered by the state. It takes a lot of time just to study and discuss.

Then there is the laying of the base station, which also takes a lot of time.

Without a year or two, PHS will not be applied on a large scale.

BB machine can sell well for two years, of course, even if PHS is promoted, it does not mean that there is no market for BB machine.

The price of the BB machine can be reduced to a few hundred dollars, and those who can't afford to buy PHS can buy a BB machine.

As the so-called "small profits but quick turnover", perhaps, the sales of BB machines are quite considerable.

"By the way, what's the progress of CDMA technology development?"

"The progress is slow, and compared with the European GSM, it is still a little worse. I estimate that our cdma will not be ......commercialized until GSM is started to be popularized in Europe," Lu Jia shook his head and sighed, "After all, we are three or four years behind them." ”

GSM digital mobile communication technology was released in 1987, and European countries gradually began to deploy GSM.

CDMA is afraid that it is difficult to enter the European market.

However, the Asian market can be competed.

The CDMA technology of Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. is immature, so it has to be replaced by PHS for the time being. PHS is actually more in line with national conditions, and its development in China will only be more rapid.

……

At this time, domestic postal and telecommunications had not yet separated.

If PHS technology wants to be promoted in China, it must be approved by the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

Lu Jia began to frequently go in and out of the post and telecommunications bureau, and introduced the technical advantages of PHS in detail to the leaders, and strived to reach cooperation between the two sides.

At present, the two sides are in good contact.

Although PHS technology has great disadvantages, it can not roam when making a call, and can only be used in this province, but most people call and do not need the roaming function, you really want to roam, you can call through a fixed line.

In addition, PHS has a low cost, which is very suitable for domestic promotion.

Therefore, PHS technology quickly attracted the attention of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau and even higher departments......

"Unexpectedly, Wujiang Group gave us another huge surprise!"

"Haha, Zhao Ye is a good person, in recent years, Wujiang Group has developed rapidly, made great contributions to the country, and the field of semiconductor technology has also caught up with the world-class level!"

“……”

Zhao Ye didn't know that he had entered the sight of Zhongbeihai again at this moment, and the leaders praised him......
