Chapter 1163 Chip development
In the late 1990s, when the Pingguo mobile phone came out, in just a dozen years, mobile phone brands were replaced one generation after another, including local telephone mobile phones such as PHS.
At that time, there were many domestic mobile phone brands, such as Xiaxing, Feijian, Lenovo, Corunte, Dongfang, etc. Looking back at the past, domestic mobile phones also achieved impressive results during that period, but they all failed in the end.
It's very simple. The core technologies are all in the hands of foreigners. Mobile phone screens, motherboards, CPUs, memory, and systems are all controlled by foreign companies. Even if it is CPUs, that is, chips, companies in the hot summer have no way to compete with foreign companies.
In a word, technical barriers must be broken down.
As long as the Chu family starts spending money in the high-tech field, it means that the Chu family is getting closer and closer to bankruptcy.
For many technologies, research and development costs alone cost tens of billions.
"Dad, I think we need to engage in some promotional activities, such as cooperating with telecommunications networks and mobile networks, pre-saving phone calls to give away mobile phones, and selling the squeezed mobile phones first, so that the cash flow cannot be interrupted. In addition, we have to start a price war.
The highest-end new mobile phone is Amoi 1998, and the current price is 3888. We can lower the price and suppress other domestic mobile phones. By the way, we can also advertise. Now there is a comedy show on Shanghai TV that is very popular, so we will sponsor it.
Expand your influence." After saying that, Chu Zhenyu smiled proudly, thinking that he would be praised by Chu Xiongba.
However, Chu Xiongba's face turned even darker, "Feifan, tell me your opinion."
"Father. Before I talk about my thoughts, I want to hear why my adoptive father values the mobile phone business so much."
"In the early 1980s, if someone had a TV in their home, it was a status symbol. Now every household has a TV, as well as mobile phones. In the early 1990s, mobile phone was a symbol of the rich, but in just a few years,
Mobile phones have become general consumables, which means that in the future everyone will use mobile phones and change mobile phones. We have a population of more than one billion in the hot summer. How can we give up this huge profit." After speaking, Chu Xiongba took out another one from the desk.
A document said, "This is the sales volume of our Amoi mobile phones in North Africa. It only took 2 years to go from 100 units to exporting 500,000 units. I don't need to say more about what this means, right?"
"My adoptive father is indeed far-sighted. In fact, I am also optimistic about the future mobile phone market, but if I want to occupy a place, I need excellent technology. Sanxing has the most cutting-edge smooth screens and motherboards, and Nokia has more than 1,000 mobile phone patents.
, Motorola has the best CPU burning technology at present. If our domestic mobile phones want to rise, we must break through technical barriers. As long as we break through, the future will be our world."
Chu Zhenyu said, "This is easier said than done. The three giants have a firm grip on the global mobile phone market. Let's just compete with domestically produced mobile phones."
"Brother Chu, it all depends on manpower. At that time, Shanxing spent huge sums of money on semiconductor research and encountered various obstacles, but he succeeded. From a factory selling flour, it became the largest enterprise in Hancheng country, controlling the development of Hancheng. I have to
Mortal Technology invested in Samsara Chip Company a year ago to develop a new generation of mobile phone chips. If it can make a breakthrough, it will have leverage to negotiate with the three giants. Although it is not enough to fight against the three giants, it will not be a problem to defeat other domestic mobile phones.
Yes, but I need funds."
"Are you still short of money?" Chu Zhenyu asked in surprise.
Lin Bufan began to talk about the difficulties in chip development and production, "Almost 10 million are burned every day."
Chu Xiongba squinted his eyes. He was an ambitious man. He was an old man and a man with great ambitions. He wanted to be the richest man in Yanxia.
Although he has also invested in some mobile phone R&D companies, the scientific research results are far from those of the Big Three. The annual R&D expenses of the Big Three are more than 5 billion Citicoins, which is more than 40 billion Yanxia Coins at that year's exchange rate.
The three giants are international companies with operations all over the world. For Nokia, the annual patent fees collected exceed 10 billion US dollars.
"Brother Lin, it's impossible for us to defeat the Big Three. They already control the global mobile phone business. We still have to be downstream and engage in activities, otherwise we will sell mobile phones to poor countries."
Lin Bufan actually really wants to say that in a few years, a Citizen named Job will develop a brand new smartphone. By then, the mobile phone market will be shuffled, and Nokia and Motorola will completely fail and leave.
In the mobile phone market, Shanxing mobile phones will gradually leave the hot summer market.
Therefore, new technology can really reshuffle the cards.
Just like after the digital camera came out, Kodak, which dominated the world at that time, failed and went bankrupt.
Lin Bufan gave examples of the rise and fall of many companies, and finally said eloquently, "Father, as long as we keep up with the times, we will not be abandoned by the times. Should we eat what is left of the Big Three, or drive the Big Three away from the hot summer, you will decide
decision."
Chu Xiongba frowned and thought for a long time. The sunshine outside shone on his ambition, and he spoke, "How much money is needed to develop the best chip?"
"It's hard to say, I have already invested nearly 10 billion."
The Chu family's father and son's eyes trembled, 10 billion in 1999 was a huge sum of money.
