Rebirth of the Wild Age

In view of Song Weiyang's status as the richest man in China, and in view of Song Weiyang's many prophecies being fulfilled, no one dares to ignore Song Weiyang's words, at least in mainland China.

Someone even dug out the book "The Future Belongs to China" back then, hoping to find a glimmer of market opportunity from Song Weiyang's writings.

Song Weiyang's occasional "wonderful" remarks will always be carefully analyzed by interested people, and the media and netizens even use this as a gimmick to spread.

Post it on Sogou, Dr. Ma.

"Tieba" has been born for nearly three years, and Sogou and Baidu have launched it one after another. But one step ahead, one step ahead, Baidu Tieba has never been able to develop, and can only follow behind Sogou Tieba.

Now, Baidu has almost given up on the post bar project, and the manpower and funds invested are very small. Often, Sogou Tieba launches a function, and Baidu Tieba launches a new function. I am too lazy to innovate myself, so I just copy it. Anyway, the popularity of Tieba is so low.

Sogou Tieba really exploded last year because of the "Super Girl" talent show.

A large number of netizens poured into the "Super Girls Bar", and fans solicited votes from each other. Even those brainless fans who are not short of money still hire sailors or hackers to post frantically to discredit competitors. Sogou Tieba had to launch a verification code function. Anonymous users and newly registered users need to enter a verification code every time they speak, so as to limit flood posts and robot posts.

Because of the talent show "Super Girl", Sogou surpassed Sina and Sohu in one fell swoop and became the website with the largest traffic in the world.

With the end of the talent show, "Super Girls Bar" has gradually become deserted, but "Li Yuchun Bar" has sprung up, becoming the most active post bar with the largest traffic.

Next is "Dr. Ma"!

"Song Weiyang Bar" was actually created earlier, but for some reason, netizens flocked to "Dr. Ma Bar". From the beginning of the fans to the post bar, it has gradually become something similar to a subculture forum, with various posts appearing every day, and there are even countless drag racing parties running rampant.

As for the game-type post bars, Shan Hai Jing, Legend, Wow, and World of Warcraft have the largest traffic. Tieba members are all game lovers, very few of them don't play games, and it has not yet developed into a holy place for online carnival.

"The human mentor, Dr. Ma, is bragging again, threatening that China Mobile will eliminate Nokia next year, and the dissatisfied big brothers will come in and chat. The title must be long, long, long, long..."

This is the most popular post on "Dr. Ma Bar" today.

"sofa."

"Bench. Top one."

"Want to eliminate Nokia? Please Shenzhou come up with a mobile phone that can smash walnuts first."

"Nokia is invincible in the world, long live the religion of Nokia. Amen!"

"Everyone, don't forget that Dr. Ma is also nicknamed Song Dapao. Although he was right a few times, he said a lot of nonsense. This time he must be bragging again. He probably wants to advertise Shenzhou mobile phone. Bar."

"I'm so laughing, I want to eliminate Nokia. You said that China mobile phones overthrew Motorola. I just woke up and believed it. After all, Motorola exposed too many negative news last year. But Nokia is a domestic brand that can surpass it. I have used this Nokia in my hand for three years. It fell on the ground and fell countless times. Once it fell into the toilet, took it out, took it apart and dried it with a hair dryer. After putting it back, it can still make calls normally. China mobile phones have such Is it awesome?"

"Dr. Ma started out as a scammer, I see how he wants to cheat this time."

"I also read that article. China should be planning to launch a new phone next year. Dr. Ma said that it is an epoch-making sci-fi phone. It is estimated to be super powerful and crush the phones on the market today."

"3g mobile phone?"

"Maybe it's a 3G mobile phone. Dr. Ma seems very confident."

"Hehe, it's not like Nokia doesn't have 3G mobile phones in foreign countries. If China has launched a 3G network, Nokia's 3G mobile phones will have already come in, and Dr. Ma is still using it to brag here?"

"I have to say that Dr. Ma has swollen, and now he doesn't speak through his brain."

"Domestic mobile phones have inherently no advantages, and I'm considered half of the industry. Huawei has already developed 3G mobile phones. There is no 3G network in China that cannot be sold, and its influence abroad is too weak and there is no market. Not long ago, Huawei also competed with Vodafone. After signing a strategic cooperation agreement, in the next few years, Huawei's 3G mobile phones can only be labeled as Vodafone. Even if Shenzhou also launches 3G mobile phones, it is estimated that we can only follow Huawei's old path, find a large foreign brand to cooperate with, and make stickers for others. brand custom machine."

"..."

There is already a commotion in the post bar, even Song Weiyang's loyal fans don't quite believe his remarks about eliminating Nokia.

In fact, he did not say that he would eliminate Nokia, but that he would eliminate existing models of Nokia, which was taken out of context by magazine editors and netizens.

However, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers, as well as the heads of the Chinese regions of Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and other brands, attach great importance to Song Weiyang's words! They have two concerns: first, Shenzhou is developing 3G mobile phones, and has made a breakthrough; second, China may launch a 3G network next year, and Song Weiyang probably got inside information.

Li Dongsheng, the boss of tcl, called Song Weiyang first, and after some pleasantries, he asked eagerly, "Boss Song, have you received any news?"

"What news?" Song Weiyang said.

"The 3G network will be launched next year." Li Dongsheng said.

Song Weiyang smiled and asked, "Who told you?"

Li Dongsheng said: "Isn't Shenzhou planning to launch a 3G mobile phone next year? My brother, give me a hand and give me a letter."

"I really haven't received any news." Song Weiyang said.

"Well then, we have a chance to have a meal together." Li Dongsheng felt quite disappointed, he felt that Song Weiyang was hiding important information.

Tcl invested heavily in the field of mobile phones in the past few years. It not only spent huge sums of money to acquire the mobile phone department of Alcatel in France, but also built a large mobile phone factory (the yield rate of the foundry was too low), and cooperated with Qualcomm and Philips to develop 3G mobile phones. Both Shencheng and Huizhou have 3g mobile phone research and development centers.

That is to say, TCL put all its eggs in one basket in the field of mobile phones, but it ended up being stuck there. Sales of 2G mobile phones were dismal, and 3G licenses were delayed.

If he could get the exact news from Song Weiyang, Li Dongsheng would probably grit his teeth and continue to spend money, desperately intensifying the research and development of the 3G mobile phone project.

Song Weiyang didn't want to be misunderstood, and explained: "Shenzhou will launch a mobile phone next year, but it has nothing to do with China's 3G network. Since the project needs to be kept secret, I can only say so much, and you will know next year. Our main market for new machines is overseas, and we will not focus on the local market for at least two or three years.”

"Mainly focus on overseas markets? That's not a small difficulty," Li Dongsheng was quite surprised, and smiled, "Then I wish Boss Song's development plan a successful completion."

"Thank you." Song Weiyang said.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Mr. Ren from Huawei called again. The content of the conversation was similar to that of Li Dongsheng. He also thought that China would launch a 3G network next year.

No matter what Song Weiyang explained, although these two were superficially polite, they still refused to believe the truth. Then, relying on their personal connections, they inquired about the 3G situation in the Ministry of Information Industry, but they still found nothing.

Even so, they still felt that Song Weiyang would not be aimless, and must have heard the words of a certain big leader. These two companies have already invested a lot of money, and it is very difficult to change course and withdraw easily. They simply decided that Song Weiyang had internal information, and each continued to spend money to increase 3G research and development efforts!

Tcl is still only developing 3G mobile phones, and Huawei is also developing related technologies and basic equipment for 3G communications.

I don't know whether Song Weiyang cheated them or helped them in the long run.

At the same time, Android (China), a joint venture between Ark Technology (Shenzhou Holdings) and Google, once again complained that funds and personnel were not enough. Their main task is to turn the Android system into a mobile phone. Due to the performance problem of the mobile phone chip, the program size of the Android system must be reduced to one tenth.

The programmers of Android (China) have worked very hard, but the rewritten Android system still cannot achieve the expected results. And Shenzhou Technology is constantly urging progress, and I don’t know how many programmers’ hairlines have skyrocketed. The hair swept out by the R\u0026D department every day can be used to open a wig factory.

Song Weiyang immediately contacted Google, hoping that the two sides could continue to inject capital into Android (China).

But Larry Page didn't take the development of Android's mobile phone system seriously at all, and he was determined not to continue investing. Therefore, Shenzhou Technology invested 5 million US dollars in Android (China) through Ark Technology, transferred another 20 programmers, and increased its shareholding in Android (China) to 65%.

It wasn't until early June that the Android system that could run on the arm11 mobile phone chip finally came out.

Then, the situation is very embarrassing...

Only one software can be run during the test, and if two softwares are run at the same time, the card will explode. And as the number of uses increases, even if only one software is running, programmers can only continue to optimize the system.

A programmer from the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed to change the operating mechanism of the system. That is, only allocate memory space to the foreground program. When the software exits the background, only part of the data of the last run is left, and most of the ram is compressed into the rom space.

If this method is followed, the Android (mobile version) program will have to be overthrown and rewritten.

The main reason is that the mobile phone chip at this time is too rubbish, arm11 is enough, but it is still difficult to meet the needs of smartphones.

Later, bad news came from the Rongcheng R\u0026D Center. The research and development of 3G mobile phone technology is very difficult. It is almost an impossible task to seamlessly connect with smartphones next year. The first generation of Chinese smartphones may only support 2G, and it will have to wait until at least 2008 to support 3G networks.

On the contrary, the development of various small programs is very smooth.

For example, the small game "Fruit Ninja" that comes with the mobile phone, combined with multi-touch technology, has become the best leisure way for technicians in Luzhou R\u0026D Center. There is also the Jiugongge input method, which was developed in cooperation with Sogou. Sogou will soon launch the "Sogou Smart Input Method".

Based on the actual situation of each R\u0026D team, Song Weiyang and Shen Fuxing conducted repeated discussions, and finally decided that it would be better to launch the first generation of Shenzhou smartphones in the domestic market, and it only supports 2G functions for the time being—Song Weiyang is really not sure , The first generation of Apple mobile phones only supports 2G.

As the project progressed, the "Fire Stealing Plan" began to leak in July, but most people regarded this project as whimsical.

Jobs was facing the same situation. No matter how much he kept it secret, the content of the project was leaked more and more. In order to deal with this situation, he could only preemptively hold a product launch conference when the iPhone was not yet perfect, relying on all kinds of deceit to get over it, and it took another half a year to officially launch the product.

Song Weiyang asked for it purely on his own. He said that he wanted to eliminate Nokia, which attracted friends and businessmen to do everything possible to find out about the situation. Although each R\u0026D team is only responsible for one piece, it is obvious that many clues are connected, and by the end of the year, people have been inquiring clearly.

But it doesn't matter.

Domestic friends can't catch up if they want to catch up, but foreign giants don't care at all.

Take Motorola as an example. In another time and space, even though Apple smartphones have been released, Nokia still has no sense of urgency or crisis. Even Motorola's executives said: "iphone is not destructive, subversive and innovative to the mobile phone industry. Because most of the functions of iphone have been adopted by Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and other manufacturers. And the full-screen design It is the biggest failure, abandoning the ease of use of the physical keyboard and making it more troublesome for users to input text.”

Nokia also didn't take the iPhone seriously, and it was several years before it realized the seriousness of the problem.
