In the mobile phone industry, sales volume does not explain everything.

Later Apple mobile phones only accounted for 20% of the market in terms of shipments, but accounted for 85% of the profits of the global mobile phone industry.

Infinite Company was the first to enter the era of smartphones. It only needs to maintain its technological leadership to gradually form an absolute monopoly in the world's mobile phone market.

The reason why we do not take the high-end (high-price) route is, on the one hand, to allow smartphones to quickly become popular, and secondly, to keep the price low, which can also invisibly dissuade many companies from entering this market.

From the beginning, Chen Weidong had no intention of relying on the sales of mobile phones to make money.

Even under special circumstances, these mobile phones can be given away for free.

Take the key press machines of this period as an example. Although the hardware was pretty good, there were still too few profit growth points.

When a user purchases a new mobile phone, it means that its short-term commercial value has been drained.

Because people will use this mobile phone for at least a year or two before considering replacing it with a new one.

As for the key machine, in terms of functions, it is nothing more than making calls and sending text messages. These services do not make much money at all, and even if they do, they are taken away by telecommunications companies.

What really makes users willing to spend money is always the software in the mobile phone and various accompanying value-added services.

For example, games, videos, music, subscriptions, etc.

Smartphones integrate the highest technological crystallization in the world. Only through this carrier can various complex functions of application software be realized and brought to their fullest extent.

This is why after the emergence of smart phones, traditional button machines were so quickly eliminated by the market.

Infinite Company is in an absolutely dominant position in both PC and software.

As long as users use their computers and mobile phones, they will inevitably use the software they develop.

This is a true monopoly.

Instead of doing everything possible to suppress and slander your peers.

This method is too low-level.

Chen Weidong is confident that in terms of software, they have done their best. If this were not the case, Infinite Company would not be able to catch up with Western technology so quickly.

But from the perspective of a reborn person, he also realized the upper limit of the software industry.

Although China's software industry will usher in an extremely prosperous period in the next decade or so, no breakthrough progress has been made.

In reality, the progress of scientific research wants to accelerate again, so as to surpass the West and continue to lead, reaching a height that the other party cannot reach. The potential of software has been fully tapped.

Another path must be found.

Not only that, if China wants to develop the digital economy, upgrade its industry, and make a leap in productivity, high-intensity computer computing power is a necessary condition for development.

This is a really stuck technology.

In recent years, with the rise of Infinite Corporation, the company has become bigger and bigger, and its own technological level has also advanced by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, in terms of development paths, Infinite Company and Western technology have diverged. Chen Weidong is no longer that interested in acquiring some advanced Western technology.

The birth of photonic computers has brought about earth-shaking changes to the research department at Infinite Corporation's headquarters.

On this day, Chen Weidong was in the office, chatting casually with Li Xier, when the phone behind him suddenly rang.

On the wall next to the phone, an LCD screen lit up, showing a portrait.

This is the internal telephone of Infinite Company. Only the internal telephone of the company has the functions of optical fiber communication and video phone.

Since all the company's communications use optical fiber, as part of the company's benefits, every employee family living in the company's campus is equipped with such a video phone.

It is a flexible screen made of luminescent organic matter that can be directly attached to the wall or spread on the table to transmit video signals through the camera.

Employees within the company only need to enter their identity code and make a call, and their avatar will appear on the other party's screen for identification.

Chen Weidong saw that what appeared on the screen was Yu Guangbin, the leader of the photonic computer project team who was on vacation, but behind him on the sofa in the living room, Liu Weitao and others were sitting around a laptop, discussing some issues.

.

He smiled, sat up straight in his office chair, and said to the screen: "What are you doing? I remember you are on vacation, aren't you? Why are you still gathering together for a meeting?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm looking for you just for this matter!" Yu Guangbin said with a wry smile: "Since the successful development of photonic chips, the enthusiasm of researchers in several major laboratories has been unprecedentedly high. Many topics that were previously limited to theory have become

It is possible to realize that at this stage, it is more difficult to let them rest than to kill them!"

"Although you gave them compulsory leave, they still meet in private to discuss issues. How can they truly rest peacefully?"

"I also heard some researchers' family members say that they haven't slept on time these days. You know, Lao Liao from the Optoelectronics Laboratory, Researcher Liao, he checked the information when he got home, and I heard that he hadn't slept for two days.

Got it!"

"If you ask me to supervise them, I can only go around each person's home and force them to rest. But this is not a long-term solution. Mr. Chen, look, if this continues, not only will they not be able to recuperate, but they will become aggravated.

The burden is harmful to the body!"

Chen Weidong looked behind him at the researchers who were focused on discussing the topic and felt helpless.

The company's researchers don't really like to take vacations.

Most of them are relatively boring and even a little lonely in their lives. Even if they socialize, they are limited to academic circles. They are very pure scientific researchers.

Like Researcher Liao, there are many people who have not been engaged in research day and night during the holidays. This has to attract Chen Weidong's attention. If these people collapse from exhaustion while taking a break, that is the company's biggest problem.

loss.

After a moment of silence, Chen Weidong said: "Let's organize a tour group to visit famous mountains and rivers across the country. Please inform me that everyone in the six major laboratories must participate. Just treat it as work.

I will lead the team myself!”

"That's what I mean too!" Yu Guangbin breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "But I'm afraid I can't convince these old stubborns, so you have to help with the persuasion!"

The video call between the two of them was on speakerphone. Liu Weitao and others in the living room heard it and immediately shouted: "If I don't go, I won't go! What kind of travel? Playing the piano randomly! Many projects now have a promising future.

Only ghosts travel when the time comes!”

"If you want to go, you can go, we are not going anyway!"

Li Xi'er also heard their conversation and covered her mouth and snickered beside her.

Chen Weidong's face was stern: "Playing the piano randomly? I think you are the ones who play the piano randomly! The way of civil and military affairs is to relax. You don't understand this even at your age?"

"By acting like this, you are not caring for yourself and being irresponsible to the company!"

"You are exhausted. The company will not only have to bear your medical expenses, but more importantly, the research work you are engaged in will also be put on hold. In this case, will it speed up the research progress or delay the research? You

Do the math for yourself!"
