1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan did not expect that two friends would backstab the tablet market at the same time. So much so that he was depressed for at least five minutes before he recovered from the news that Microsoft had also released a tablet.

Whether the heroes have the same vision or they are following in the footsteps of Yuanxin, the three major technology companies are now unanimously focusing on the tablet market. This is obviously to directly eliminate the "netbook" that has just emerged.

At the same time, whether it is Apple or Microsoft, both have corresponding desktop platform systems and software ecosystems, which can just fill the space for portable smart devices of the size between laptops and mobile phones.

…

Faced with Su Yuanshan's problem, a group of people headed by Yao Chenggang, the head of the newly established iPad department, looked around, and finally turned their attention to Zhu Yuanxin, the boss of the design center - after all, Mr. Zhu had been their immediate boss before. This tablet computer was also born in the design center, but was designed by the Silicon Valley team.

Zhu Yuanxin coughed. The appearance of several giants at the same time today means that Yuanxin attaches great importance to the iPad product - in fact, Yuanxin attaches great importance to any product that involves the system and software ecology.

"Compared to Apple and Microsoft, our top-down transfer of usage and operating habits has almost no advantage." Zhu Yuanxin pursed his lips and directly concluded.

"When we started the iPad project, it was to fill the size space in the mobile market and cover the entire range of products. But in terms of user acceptance and habits, we actually guided it from the bottom up." Paused. After a pause, Zhu Yuanxin was afraid that someone might not understand, so he continued to explain.

"Our main influence is in the field of mobile phones, YOS. But in terms of positioning, mobile phones are more of an entertainment tool than a learning and productivity tool. But the positioning of iPad is mainly a learning and productivity tool that we envision. .”

"However, Microsoft and Apple, because of their influence in the personal computer field - a personal PC is a collection of all tools - therefore, when their users need more lightweight learning and productivity tools, Apad and MPad can easily meet their needs.”

Su Yuanshan, Chen Jing, and Duan Yongping nodded at the same time, and motioned to Zhu Yuanxin to continue.

"Therefore, rather than saying that what we are facing is a battle over brand, design, configuration, and marketing, it is better to say that what we are facing is a battle over user needs and ecology."

"Once we determine this, it will be easy to seize countermeasures."

Zhu Yuanxin looked at everyone with bright eyes.

"I have three things in mind right now."

"First, focus on ecology and applications, especially learning applications and new tools."

"Second, on the basis of the first point, online learning should be gradually promoted. For example, Yuanxin High School can consider using tablets to replace computers for interactive teaching."

"Third, promote WinOS and expand the YOS product line at the same time. Bottom-up does not necessarily mean that we cannot turn around - we have already begun to design a high-precision smart stylus for iPad, which can at least complete the drawing needs on the pad. .”

After two hours, the meeting adjourned.

"Lao Zhu has straightened up." Sitting in Chen Jing's office, Duan Yongping smiled at Su Yuanshan, with some emotion in his words.

Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile.

He was also very satisfied with Zhu Yuanxin's performance today - frankly speaking, even he did not think as accurately as Zhu Yuanxin - after all, he focused more on the marketing and marketing departments.

But the plan proposed by Zhu Yuanxin did not consider marketing at all, but directly expanded from application and ecology...

This is amazing.

Then he thought of how Chen Jing strongly recommended Zhu Yuanxin when the executive board of directors was formed.

At that time, Chen Jing said that Zhu Yuanxin had a very high vision. Su Yuanshan didn't quite believe it, but after so many years, he found that Lao Zhu did live up to Chen Jing's recommendation.

"But it's easier said than done, and it's not a problem for us to rely too much on the Suzaku chip." Su Yuanshan frowned slightly after smiling and said seriously: "We should not have only one Kirin team."

Chen Jing nodded slightly, and then asked: "How big can the market size of tablet computers be in the future?"

"Who knows? But if, as Lao Zhu said, we can promote schools and students around the world to use tablet computers for learning... then this market must be worth hundreds of billions every year."

"Then what are you waiting for!" Duan Yongping said immediately: "It is established immediately."

"Well, that's definitely worth establishing." Chen Jing did not hesitate. After a pause, she laughed: "It seems that we are the only semiconductor company that covers all current mainstream chips?"

Duan Yongping nodded: "It seems so."

"No... we are still a little short of DSP. At present, our base stations still use DSP chips from Texas Instruments. Our DPS chips can only be used in other secondary scenarios. In addition, my senior brother's team has been working on FPGA chips before, and there is a long way to go. Not to mention, once the YX architecture was divided, the team took it with them... Although domestic Panda and Warwick have been working on it for a few years, they are still a little behind compared to foreign front-line companies."

Su Yuanshan sighed as he spoke: "There is a long way to go."

"What you said, how can anyone be number one..."

"Haha, haha ​​too..."

The three chatted for a while and then returned to the office.

Then, as soon as Su Yuanshan returned to his office and sat down, his cell phone rang.

"Professor, our experiment is ready!"

On the phone, Wenleyton's excited voice came.

Su Yuanshan was startled and immediately said with great joy: "Is the equipment ready?"

"Well! Chao and I are going to go to the Niguo factory to inspect it in person..."

Su Yuanshan nodded without hesitation: "Well, go ahead and ask your senior sister to help you arrange your air tickets."

After a few more instructions, Su Yuanshan hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

My two doctoral students have been working under me for almost two years.

To say that they didn’t learn anything or succeed is naturally wrong - since the establishment of the National Condensed Matter Laboratory, they have found their own topics and led this year’s new juniors to complete a beautiful article on graphene and sulfide ions. A combined thesis - this was considered a "task" arranged by their senior sister because she saw that they were "poor" and had nothing to do, just in case they "couldn't graduate".

Gan Xiaoyu has been doing research and advancement on graphene batteries.

But just write a paper, and then choose a breakthrough direction according to your own preferences and stay in the condensed matter laboratory for five years with Su Yuanshan... This is obviously not the pursuit of these doctoral students who became Su Yuanshan's disciples. .

You know, they are the best.

Especially Bruneiton, as Su Yuanshan's first international student who came here because of his reputation and graduated from Oxford University, if he only goes back with a doctorate, it will not end well for both Bruneiton and Su Yuanshan.

Therefore, Su Yuanshan asked the two of them to consider the properties of multi-layer graphene at ultra-low temperatures.

However, it has been limited by the shortcomings of ultra-low temperature testing equipment before, and there is an idea full of infinite possibilities that cannot be verified.

Now……

"I don't believe it. The devil's horn is out and you can still stop me."

Su Yuanshan glanced at the magazine aside - it contained this year's Nobel Prize list.
