Global Monopoly of Technology

In mid-October, Cote d'Azur held the third developer conference. The host of the conference was no longer Luo Sheng but Feng Yi. He had held it once last year, and the effect was not bad. Luo Sheng boldly used this young man. .

Feng Yi is also a well-known celebrity in the IT industry. He is the person in charge of the AOS ecosystem. In the past two years, the AOS ecological chain has been doing very well. Since the first developer conference, AOS has created 4.3 billion Of the total dollar revenue, 70% goes to third-party developers and 30% goes to Côte d'Azur, which means a good result of $1.29 billion.

The profit here is much higher than that of selling hardware, and the money is earned almost by lying down. More importantly, the future potential of the AOS ecological development community is amazing.

If this trend continues, it will take a few years for the annual revenue of the AOS ecological chain to generate tens of billions of dollars. There are thousands of companies around the world, but companies that can break through 10 billion dollars in annual revenue are not the top of the line. Is the monopoly giant, evident.

The content of this developer conference is not limited to the AOS3.0 version. For industry friends, they are most concerned about the official release of the first version of the open source architecture WOS1.0 operating system at this developer conference.

Mr. Lei, Mr. Shen and other bigwigs representing Xiaomi, vivo, OPPO, Coolpad and other domestic new smartphone brands came to the scene one after another.

It can be said that the WOS operating system is really long-awaited.

These new manufacturers really can't develop their own operating systems. The Android system is still the same ghost after so many years. After three years, it is not as smooth and easy to use as the AOS 1.0 version.

Even if the system is developed, it is only one-third successful, and the rest is the construction of the ecosystem. Anyway, other newly established mobile phone manufacturers do not think they have the ability to integrate a strong ecosystem.

The success of AOS to achieve today's achievements is almost the result of the right time and the right place and people, plus excellent technology.

Although WOS has just launched its first version, it was launched by Cote d'Azur, and with Luo Sheng, the industry's god-level giant, endorsed it, the meaning is different.

Now I don't know how many developers are unconditionally deeply superstitious about the "Luo Sheng effect". In addition, there is a precedent for the great success of the AOS system. When WOS came out and raised its arms, a large number of developers at home and abroad were willing to respond.

This kind of influence is something that other friends and businessmen dream of but can't get.

It can also be explained by the effect of the strong being stronger!

After the official launch of the first version of the WOS open source system,

Bluestar Technology Group subsequently held a brief media conference, officially announcing that its "Family Bucket" product will develop an APP application based on the WOS operating system.

This is the deck!

It is also the choice of WOS to make all friends and businessmen feel at ease. You must know that if a smartphone cannot use the "family bucket" of Bluestar Technology, the sales will definitely be greatly reduced.

Subsequently, Ali also announced that the mobile phone will also develop a WOS application, and QQ will also be the same.

The Xiaomi team is also working hard now, because Mr. Lei has already set a hard target, and it is necessary to launch Xiaomi's first smartphone in 2010 next year. Everyone's operating system is WOS, and the start is almost on the same starting line.

No one from domestic friends and businessmen would be naive. At this time, they want to challenge the dominance of the Côte d’Azur in smart terminals. Even if they have ambitions, they must hide them now, and they will not have enough confidence to speak out. The ridicule of the media, the boss also wants face.

...

In the following days, friends and businessmen began to show their magical powers. Mr. Lei's Xiaomi team began to build their supply chain system and decided to start with marketing. To put it bluntly, it was necessary to be fast, and to make products first.

"The competition is too fierce. Now there are more than a dozen manufacturers, and God knows how many will emerge in the future, but it also shows that the big wave of smartphones and mobile Internet is unstoppable. Azure is so expensive that it can sell like crazy. In this way, it shows that the market is huge.”

At this moment, in a star-rated hotel in Sioux City, the main managers of Xiaomi's team all came to Mr. Lei's guest room and gathered in the living room for a simple meeting.

The person who spoke was Rebs, and Mr. Lei continued with a very positive attitude: "How does Xiaomi stand out in such a fiercely competitive environment? Mobile phones are huge profits. Currently, 95% of the profits in the smartphone market are monopolized by Côte d’Azur. The cost of Azure-3 is under 2,000 yuan, so Xiaomi can make a 2,000-yuan smartphone and supply it to the market. "

The market in Greater China is huge, which is really unbelievable. At the same time, not everyone can afford the Azure series of mobile phones. As a consumer electronic product, in this era, four or five thousand dollars apiece is worth one. Working-class people have two or three months' wages.

But people's demand is also growing. If there is a 2,000-yuan smartphone on the market, it will definitely be very competitive, and with proper marketing, Mr. Lei firmly believes that there is a lot to do here.

After a while, Mr. Lei took out an 8GB version of the Azure-3 mobile phone and put it in front of everyone. Then he put the mobile phone on the table and lifted it from the tool bag on the floor to the table.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the boss was going to do.

Rebs gave full play to his role as an IT model worker, a man of science and technology, and the Azure-3 mobile phone was dismantled in a single operation.

After dismantling it, it can be easily assembled back, and it can be used normally, but the lifespan will definitely be greatly reduced. At the same time, this mobile phone no longer has the free three-year after-sales service. If you return it to the factory for repair Pay for yourself.

At this moment, Mr. Lei looked at the Azure-3 that he had disassembled into parts on the table, counted the parts one by one, and after a while he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the second time I have borrowed an Azure mobile phone. The second is the first generation, I didn’t expect the Cote d’Azur to advance so rapidly in modular design and industrial design…”

The future manufacturing trend must be modular manufacturing, with fast efficiency, low cost and high natural competitiveness.

Mr. Lei stared at the scattered parts on the board and added: "This is not the point, the point is that I calculated an account based on the major modules and components, and the innovation and R\u0026D expenses are unevenly distributed. The pure hardware of this machine is. The manufacturing cost is definitely not more than 1,750 yuan, and the foundry fee is also included, so Xiaomi can make a 2,000-yuan smartphone according to the existing technology."

If friends and businessmen hear the scolding of the mother who is estimated to be angry, they will hate Mr. Lei's rhythm, and they have not yet made a profit and reaped a wave of profits.

To know that the current smart phone, as long as the system software can run smoothly, the design is a little more beautiful, there are definitely consumers who are willing to pay for it if you sell it for more than 3,000 yuan.

Most of today's ordinary consumers are also half-understood, and they don't know what running memory, storage, and operating systems are.

To put it directly, it is easy to deceive. To put it euphemistically, it is easy to make money. Otherwise, the rise of all kinds of fake products in Huaqiangbei is fake.

There are even mobile phones pretending to be genuine Azure series on the market, and a lot of people have been deceived. Many consumers are harmed by the lag of news, but as time goes by, with the rise of the Internet, there will be fewer and fewer people with lag , as long as you go online to find out, you can generally know the latest news.

Now Mr. Lei is determined to make a 2,000 yuan smartphone, which is definitely bad news for cottage products, and it can even be said that Rebs is their terminator.

An informal internal meeting was simply held. Mr. Lei left the hotel at 16:00 in the afternoon. He went to Lens Semiconductor to meet with Xu Zhijun.

The purpose of this trip is very simple. Mr. Lei hopes that Lens Semiconductor can provide "Blue Core" chips for the upcoming first-generation Xiaomi mobile phone, and does not require the latest 45-nanometer L3 chip of Azure-3. Don't think impossible.

But Lei always felt that the "Blue Core L2" chip technology of 65nm process should be possible. It is a backward technology for the Côte d'Azur. The previous generation of Azure mobile phones has also been discontinued. The technology transfer can be regarded as a waste of heat and residual value. Why not dig more?

Ps: A wave broke out today, asking for votes, don’t say it will be next time, perfunctory, hum~~
