Chapter 221
Tiangong Technology Co., Ltd. is doing motorcycle function testing, while preparing to build a factory, and strive to launch motorcycles as soon as possible.
Don't underestimate the motorcycle market, in the previous life in 1993, China's motorcycle production was 3.35 million, surpassing Japan's output (3.02 million) for the first time, ranking first in the world.
In this life, it is expected that the output of motorcycles should have already won the first place in the world.
The location of the factory has long been determined in Chongqing, a city with "motorcycle manufacturing capital".
The scale of Tiangong Technology's motorcycle factory was built very large from the beginning, and the annual sales volume rushed to 2 million units, which is only a lot more.
In Chongqing, local officials couldn't help but be overjoyed, escorting the motorcycle factory of Tiangong Technology Company all the way, and various preferential policies were given to Tiangong Technology Company without money.
Even the land for the motorcycle factory (3 million square meters) is only a symbolic charge of 100 million yuan, and its total investment budget is more than 2.5 billion yuan, which is expected to provide more than 6,000 jobs.
At the same time, in Shanghai's Pudong New Area, the Wujiang factory, which produces MP3 players, has also expanded again, mainly for the production of Meizu MP3 and iPod
Mini Walkman.
Many people didn't expect that Wujiang Group had lost the U.S. market, but it still broke out with amazing revenue capacity.
At this time, hundreds of domestic companies are planning to enter the MP3 market.
They don't have the core technology, they purely buy parts and then assemble them.
For these companies, Borderless has no restrictions at all, and there is no concern that they will be able to challenge the iPod's market position.
Therefore, as long as these copycat companies are willing to buy how many MP3 decoding chips, NAND flash memory, batteries, LCD screens, etc., Wujiang Group can sell them to them.
After all, they are working for the Borderless Group.
β¦β¦
On July 7, the animated film "The Lion King" was released worldwide.
Before its release, Borderless Group spent a lot of resources to promote the animated film.
Both online and offline, there has been a lot of coverage of The Lion King.
Especially on the Internet, Wujiang Group used its own advantages to frantically promote "The Lion King", which has almost reached the level of being known to netizens.
Many people have watched the "Lion King" short film for about three minutes on the Internet and are already full of anticipation for this animated movie.
There is no doubt that the American studio version of "The Lion King" was also popular, a box office hit, and landed at the box office of all countries!
Meanwhile, the theme song of The Lion King, Can
You
Feel
the
Love
Tonight is on fire.
Many ipod users have gone to the Pandora Music website to download the song.
The Pandora music website is also free now, no way, no free and no traffic, but the copyright of the songs on the website is purchased by Wujiang Group.
The songs are mainly from European labels and Asian records.
Instead of being an enemy of record companies around the world, the Borderless Group is courting Europe and Asia.
So, European and Asian record labels didn't target Borderless as much as American record companies did, treating it as a flood of beasts.
Those European record labels in Europe are far more aware of the immensity of the Internet than American record companies, and they are unstoppable.
Among the countless pirated music websites, the fact that Wujiang Group can insist on making genuine versions is truly commendable, and the future and hope of the record company may lie in Wujiang Group.
The hostility and targeting of the U.S. record companies has made the relationship between the two sides even worse, which is really stupid for many European record companies.

Tonight is a great song, if only I had an iPod Walkman! β
After watching the movie, Melotti Elizabeth said with envy that she listened to the song from a friend's iPod walkman and came to see the movie.
Usually, at this time, the record company releases a single record of the theme song of the movie.
After watching a movie, many people buy a cassette tape or CD.
But the theme song of "The Lion King" has not been released, people want to listen to the song, one is to go directly to the movie, and the other is to listen to the song on the Pandora music website, if there is an ipod, you can directly download the song to your iPod, and you can listen to the song anytime, anywhere.
Melotti Elizabeth is just a middle school student, her family is average, and she doesn't usually save much money, so far, she has only saved about $400.
The iPod is priced at $499.
Melotti Elizabeth returned home with some regret, when the cries of the neighbor's friends came from outside the door.
"Elizabeth, hurry up and come out, I just heard good news!" Becky Stephen exclaimed with delight.
"What's the good news?" Melotti Elizabeth opened the door, looked at the other party, and asked.
Becky Stephen excitedly: "Borderless Group has launched the ipodMini Walkman, which is priced at just $399!! β
Melotti Elizabeth wondered, "iPod."
What is the difference between a mini Walkman and an iPod? β
"It's a small ipod, with a storage capacity of only 1GB, and it can only store four or five hundred songs!" Becky Stephen explained, "Also, iPod
The mini is also very small, only slightly larger than a lighter......"
When Melotti Elizabeth heard this, her face was immediately full of excitement.
She wants an iPod Walkman, mainly to listen to songs, it doesn't matter if it's mini or not.
Moreover, the iPod
The mini Walkman has a capacity of 1GB, which is more than enough for her.
"Elizabeth, we have to hurry up, it is said that many people immediately went to the Borderless flagship store after hearing the news." Becky Stephen urged.
Melotti Elizabeth also felt a sense of urgency, and immediately nodded in response: "Okay, I'll go back to the room to get the money immediately!" β
Soon, the two came to the Wujiang flagship store, and at this time, the store was already crowded with people, rubbing shoulders.
"Huh? This is called Meizu MP3? It's only $125, which is a bargain! However, the storage capacity is a bit small, and the body material is plastic...... "Melotti Elizabeth was slightly surprised, however, she felt that Meizu MP3 did not have ipod
Nice mini, no ipod
The Mini has a face to take out, so I still choose to buy an iPod
Miniγ
But at the scene, Meizu MP3 is being scrambled, after all, its price is too cheap, and in appearance, Meizu MP3 is actually quite beautiful, and there are a variety of colors to choose from.
In the European market, Meizu MP3 and iPod
Mini is a big seller.
In China, the price of Meizu MP3 is much cheaper than that abroad, only 449 yuan, which is really a conscience price.
Wujiang Group didn't earn much, only more than 200 yuan.
Many young people who go to work grit their teeth and can afford it.
Parents will also be willing to spend money to buy a Meizu MP3 for their children as a reward for their children.
By mid-August, thanks to Meizu MP3 and iPod
Mini was produced in limited quantities and was quickly in short supply, making it difficult to find both products on the market, much to the regret of those who missed the opportunity, but it was just the right thing to do.
In fact, the Wujiang factory is already working overtime in three shifts, and there is still a lot of stock in the warehouse.
Seeing this, those companies that have obtained MP3 authorization and are ready to make copycat MP3 products can't help but speed up their pace.
The MP3 industry is so profitable, I have to hurry up and get a piece of the pie.
For a time, the MP3 industry was booming!
The record company was miserable.
Before they got rid of pirated music sites, the more developed the MP3 industry, the greater the loss for record companies.
However, pirated music websites are not so easy to deal with, and in previous lives, record companies fought against pirated music websites for many years. Even before Zhao Ye's rebirth, there were many pirated music websites on the Internet.
Pirated music websites are like weeds, "wildfires can't be burned, and spring breezes blow and regenerate".
Zhao Ye had expected this situation since he started developing the Internet, so Wujiang Group has never entered the record industry.
In the previous life, after the record industry reached 2000, it went down, mainly because of the Internet.
Domestic singers, many people do not make money by releasing records, the purpose of releasing records is mainly to become famous, and after becoming famous, they can receive advertising endorsements, hold concerts, participate in variety shows to make money, and even make TV series and movies.
In short, I won't just make money from records.
The situation in the foreign record industry may be a little better, but it is not bad.
Wujiang Group will develop a pan-entertainment industry in the future, and the record industry will of course also enter, but it will not take action until copyright awareness is taken seriously.
This cannot be done by one person, but by the entire industry.
Zhao Ye is still very happy to be able to hit the American record company at this time.
Let's just take this as a kind of revenge, who let the United States not let the products of the Wujiang Group enter the market.
In the past, in order to open the other side's market, it would have been necessary to start a war and then sign an unequal treaty.
β¦β¦
Zhao Ye knows very well that the loss of the American record field is not a big deal for the United States.
But if you snipe at American tech companies in the tech sector, it hurts American companies.
Most of Zhao Ye's energy has been devoted to the research and development of science and technology.
However, he has so many things to care about that he always feels too busy.
"Boss, this is the market share of my country's database!"
Liu Yinyin handed over a document at this time.
Zhao Ye took it and looked at it carefully.
Since its release, Fuxi database has immediately become the first choice for domestic databases.
The database software of IBM, Oracle and other companies has collapsed and sunk into the sand, and has been defeated by the Fuxi database.
The database is related to domestic data security, and there was no choice before, and domestic government agencies, banks, etc. can only choose to use IBM's database, but the Fuxi database was born, and the country is of course more inclined to purchase its own company's database.
Who dares to guarantee that there are no secret doors in foreign databases to steal their own important information.
Especially with the rise of the Internet, the other party may even steal your important information without realizing it.
"Very good, our Fuxi database accounts for 85% of the domestic database market share!!" In fact, the measures taken by the United States against the Wujiang Group have made the domestic leaders very angry, and I don't need to be polite if you target our companies so much.
"It can be said that IBM, Oracle and other companies do not need to withdraw from the Chinese market!"
If you don't retreat, you can't do it, if the market share is too small, the company will lose money.
Therefore, it is better to give up the Chinese market.
In the foreign market, the database market share of IBM, Oracle and other companies is relatively strong, and the speed of being eaten away by the Fuxi database is relatively slow.
Unfortunately, with the rise of the Internet, more and more companies choose to use Fuxi database.
From the beginning of the design of the Fuxi database, the Internet has been taken into account, so the design concept of the Fuxi database is more advanced than that of IBM and Oracle databases.
Moreover, the modularity of the Fuxi database is very powerful and can be applied to multiple fields.
If the Fuxi database is paired with the Nuwa server, it will be extremely compatible and can play the greatest effect.
Zhao Ye has just given the American record industry a blow, and at this time he is planning to give it a hammer in the computer field.
The database market is just incidental, and Zhao Ye wants to grab both the supercomputer market and the server market in the United States.
In the 90s, Zhao Ye was impressed by IBM's Deep Blue Computer War Chess World Champion. This wave gave IBM a lot of fame, and the brand value soared.
Zhao Ye put down the file, thinking in his heart, let Wujiang Group replace IBM, develop AI software, and let the Pangu supercomputer defeat the chess world champion.
When developing AI software, databases are very important.
In the training process, the AI model does not understand independent individual text symbols, but vectorized representations.
In the era of AI, vector database, an important underlying software, is one of the important tools in the field of artificial intelligence, which can provide fast vector similarity calculation, efficient vector storage and retrieval, and support for multi-dimensional vector data.
Zhao Ye said that in this era, I am afraid that no one knows how to develop AI software better than him. After several entrepreneurial failures, he joined a certain music company and became the chief engineer, responsible for AI development.
"Boss, the sales of Nuwa's web server are also extremely amazing, mainly because there are no strong competitors in the market. IBM, Sun, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and others are all one step behind us. β
"And our blade server architecture is ahead of the traditional rack architecture."
"This year, Fuxi Database and Nuwa Server generated $23.3 billion in revenue for the company, with a profit of up to $5 billion!!"
"If we can enter the US market, I believe that this data will increase by at least 30%!"
Liu Yinyin said with a little regret.
Zhao Ye didn't care, he was used to it.
The fact that the United States is now "closing itself off from the rest of the country" has certainly caused great losses to the Wujiang clique, but as far as the United States is concerned, why not.
Due to the lack of access to the products of the Wujiang Group, the development of the Internet, semiconductor, and electronics industries in the United States cannot be compared with the previous life.
Many technologies have been taken by the Borderless Group, and many technology companies in the United States have lost the opportunity to rise.
In the overseas market of the United States, American products are frequently sniped by the Wujiang Group, especially now that the Wujiang Group has the authority of the Internet, which has a great impact.
Speaking of e-commerce, it is difficult for American companies to get the same treatment as companies in China and even other countries.
Alibaba, Amazon, Taobao and other e-commerce are almost all driving business exchanges in Asia and Europe.
The United States is all but excluded.
As a result, many U.S. companies are missing out on a lot of business opportunities.
