Global Monopoly of Technology

afternoon.

Lens Semiconductor, Mobile Processor R\u0026D Department.

"Mr. Luo, our research team has finally verified after trying hundreds of different materials these days, and has identified a material called HfO2." The department director reported to Luo Sheng.

This element material is generally not even heard of by non-industry people. Its Chinese name is "hafnium dioxide". Hafnium element is an oxide, which is a white solid at room temperature and pressure.

There are actually many materials with high K properties. The so-called K is the relative permittivity relative to silicon dioxide. There are many materials with high K properties, but they can be used eventually. They must have excellent electrical properties, and The fabrication process flow and other fabrication steps of the integrated circuit can be easily integrated.

The process of changing a high-end chip from sand to CPU requires more than one or two thousand manufacturing processes, so it is absolutely remarkable to find such a high-performance insulating layer material that meets the requirements of semiconductor manufacturing in all aspects. engineering achievements.

"Good job."

Luo Sheng affirmed a word of praise, but added after a moment: "As soon as possible, we will get rid of the patent issues. In two days, I will work out the process flow chart. Once these issues are finalized, LSMC can enter mass production. ."

Lens Semiconductor's 45nm process chips have about 65% more technology independently developed than the previous generation, most of which are innovative technologies, especially the system chip, AP processor can be said to be the look of the Azure series of smartphones. One of the skills, but the baseband chip has to rely on Qualcomm's technology authorization.

Here it depends on Wah Wah, Wah Wah is sparing no effort and no expense to die for baseband chips, and its R\u0026D investment is increasing year by year, which is a very important secret research under Wah Wah's.

There are too many chips inside a smartphone, involving system chips, baseband chips, radio frequency chips, and memory, etc., which represents a complex and huge supply chain system.

And this brings a lot of patent payment, and many patents are unavoidable. Because of this, Qualcomm simply gave up making mobile terminal equipment, and directly specialized in chips, and then lied down to collect patent fees, which saves worry and effort. Get in the way of making big money.

The third-generation Azure series of smartphones owned by Côte d’Azur, the manufacturing cost of a single unit is as high as 1,688 yuan. If the R\u0026D investment is averaged out to nearly 2,000 yuan, the specific dilution depends on future sales. Naturally The larger the sales volume, the greater the expenditure on R\u0026D costs can be greatly diluted.

The design of mobile chips is now firmly in their own hands, and there is currently no SoC chip comparable to the Côte d'Azur in the field of mobile devices.

...

Just as Luo Sheng led the R\u0026D team to overcome technical difficulties in Lens Semiconductor and the Azure Coast Laboratory, the Bluestar Technology Group in mid-May caused a huge sensation in the industry.

Zhang Bowen officially launched the new product service "Online Translation" at a press conference in Paris, France. Jack Stoppelman, the head of the subsidiary BlueSpace, also launched a new product service for foreign Internet users at a press conference in Seattle. Tailor-made cross-platform chat application, this new social product.

Bluestar Technology is constantly changing the world and is moving towards the highest ideal and mission.

People all over the world have undergone epoch-making changes in the way they socialize. At the end of the last century, people would still sit together,

The most extravagant is probably watching TV together.

At that time, social chat was close to nature, not to mention how wonderful.

But the inconvenience is that instant information cannot be transmitted, and many times the information that needs to be transmitted quickly is lost bit by bit during the long transmission.

Later, there were mobile phones and text messages, which were very convenient to use. When young men and women fell in love, the phone was essential.

Later, the Internet era came quietly, and everyone could communicate through the Internet without leaving home, which is more convenient than text messages and phone calls. Sending messages can form chat records.

And now the tide of the mobile Internet is coming, which is further changing the way people socialize.

The official launch in Seattle this month is definitely not a simple instant messaging software, but an important pawn for Luo Sheng to realize the strategic plan of Bluestar Technology Group.

In the group company's strategy, it is not only its huge traffic pool and user source, but also an emerging factory that collects user behavior data. The most important thing is that it also generates revenue for Bluestar Technology.

Business services have always been the market that Luo Sheng wants Bluestar Technology to enter. He does not need the CEO of the subsidiary to have any pioneering spirit. The executives who really have this ability can come to the parent company.

As for the head of the subsidiary company, it only needs to be someone who can meticulously, perfectly and efficiently implement the strategy of the parent company.

Luo Sheng's strategic plan for this product is very clear, including now and in the future. After the launch, the follow-up plans to launch commercial applications.

This business allows enterprises to set up an official page on the platform. After qualification verification, they can display their business overview, website, phone, international version of BlueSpace page and other information on the page, and can also set up automatic responses to interact with users, and even can Integrate the page with its own products through the commercial application program interface, improve the drainage effect, and provide users with a variety of services.

The just-launched early stage insisted on not advertising, and did not officially launch commercial applications and other services. Everything was based on the user base. First of all, we must make this APP the most popular instant messaging application in the world before we can talk about other things.

As the first social software in the field of instant messaging under the Bluestar Technology Group, it has attracted huge attention once it was launched, setting off a new wave in the overseas mobile Internet market.

Bluestar Technology Group is now the overlord of the global social network, and its size is unbelievable. As long as the products launched are not too bad, the market response will not be bad.

And if the innovative elements of the product itself are excellent enough, it is incredible. Once it is launched, it can quickly occupy the market. This is the Matthew effect.

The launch of an app is a prime example.

...

At the end of May, Bluestar Technology Headquarters.

"Mr. Luo, the market has received a great response. In one week, we have harvested 3.22 million users, and it has been widely praised. It is almost easy for us to obtain users today." Zhang Bowen said with a smile.

At this moment, Lao Zhang is reporting his recent work in Luo Sheng's office. Luo Sheng still comes to the company every day, but he seldom asks and personally handles the daily operations of the Bluestar Technology Group. The focus of his recent work has also been on the blue coast. development of third-generation smartphones.

At present, there is only the AOS version, and other platform versions will be launched at the end of the year. The current competitiveness is to transmit messages through the network, and the goal is very clear - to replace **S/MMS.

Up to now, the average amount of information processed on the platform is as high as 23.74 million per day, and the current more than 3 million users have an average of 7.37 messages per user per day.

The team originally wanted to charge each user a service subscription fee of $9.9/year, which is not expensive abroad. It can still be accepted as an annual fee, but it means that it becomes a paid software.

Luo Sheng rejected the management's suggestion without thinking.

Bluestar Technology Group is short of this money?

The user base is the foundation of everything. Isn't it more fragrant to make the world's most popular instant messaging software, which has quickly become a mobile Internet terminal?

From the very beginning of its establishment, Bluestar Technology is not an Internet company eager to realize and make money. It must be a rhythm of earning a lot of money first, harvesting users at a loss, harvesting the traffic pool and finally harvesting profits.

"Well, the response is good, everything is satisfactory, but it should be noted that we must be alert to privacy security issues and being targeted by spyware, especially privacy issues." Luo Sheng reminded that foreigners are very sensitive to privacy issues, and especially It is easy to be led by the rhythm, which is the reason why FIB likes to investigate.

For Bluestar Technology Group, its greatest value lies in the collection of user behavior data, and data mining is where the value lies.

All of these must let the user know what information the software will collect, and write it clearly on the terms of the user agreement.

When the project was approved last year, Luo Sheng had already made a clear plan for the future development of this mobile Internet instant messaging application. The product will be launched in the first half of 2009, and other platform versions will be launched in the second half of the year. In 2010, the voice message function will be added. In 2012, the read receipt function was added, and you can choose to disable read receipts. In 2012, the end-to-end encryption feature was added, and the document sharing function was added in 2013. In 2015, a desktop version was provided.

The general strategic direction is advanced according to the plan that Luo Sheng has made, and the process can be flexibly changed according to the actual feedback of the market.

Its release and its launch were highly sought after and praised by the market. Not only did the stock price of Bluestar Technology Group soar, but this instant messaging software tailored for foreign users made Tengxun in China feel a huge sense of crisis. , the internal meeting has been held for three consecutive days, and it is all around the meeting.

This time, Teng Xun was really panicked.
