Kechuang Biotechnology is seriously short of manpower. Even today, with a valuation of over 100 billion and more than 1,000 employees, more than 50% of its senior executives still come from rice.

One year after the establishment of the company, Zheng Li generally has a new understanding of management. His definition of Kechuang Biotech is a high-tech company, not a manufacturing company.

The key to brain-computer connection technology is chips and algorithms. Instead of setting up a factory to sell finished products, it is better to learn from Qualcomm and only license patents.

I license the patent to you, and you pay on a piece-rate basis for how many pieces you sell, and I don’t need to increase my costs.

Real-life business management is not like in your game. Doubling the management staff will double the management capabilities. The growth of staff may lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the enterprise.

Zheng Li plans to build Kechuang Biotech into a company purely driven by technology.

Lei Jun felt cold after hearing what Zheng Li said. If all companies are authorized, then rice will have no advantage. How can it occupy the high-end market?

But originally he and Zheng Li only made a verbal promise about brain-computer connection. After many years of entrepreneurship, Lei Jun knew that verbal promises were the most unreliable.

"Junior brother, I can completely understand your choice. If I were in your position, there is a high probability that I would make the same choice as you."

"You don't have to be sorry, but I still want to gain a chance for Rice. Is there any way I can gain some time advantage for Rice?"

Zheng Li thought for a while and said: "After our patent is registered, I can agree to provide the algorithm and chip to Rice first."

"For other domestic mobile phone brands, during the time it takes from signing a contract to getting the chips and algorithms, to debugging and integrating them into their operating systems, Rice is able to launch brain-computer controlled mobile phones earlier than other domestic mobile phone manufacturers."

Lei Jun had actually thought of this method a long time ago. He waited for Zheng Li to say it himself. Zheng Li saying it was different from him saying it.

"Okay, that's it. Thank you very much. We don't need any discount for the rice above our price. We will pay whatever price other mobile phone manufacturers charge."

"Junior brother, can you give us an estimate of when you can provide us with the chip design and algorithm?"

"I can then arrange for my subordinates to make time plans."

Zheng Li: "No later than the end of the year."

After Lei Jun finished talking to Zheng Li, they quickly made arrangements. Rice will restart the mix series, which is expected to be launched in the spring.

Lei Jun did not disclose the brain-computer connection in detail to his subordinates. He only said that he would deploy outstanding talents in R&D and product to complete the development of the mix series and get a head start in the spring.

...

Before the end of December, in mid-December, the chip design plan, a batch of sample chips, and the packaging process for converting neural signals into electrical signals were given to Da Mi.

It is impossible to give out the source code. If you want the source code, the price is completely different.

Rice only uses the brain-computer connection algorithm of Kechuang Biotech by calling standardized interfaces through MIUI.

"Lao Yan, this time you will be fully responsible for the research and development of the Spring Mix mobile phone. We are very tight on time and only have three months to complete the research and development to final version."

Mix is ​​a true high-end series of rice. The rice MIX released in 2016 can be called the first full-screen mobile phone. It defined what a full-screen is for the first time. Its full-screen concept influenced the world's mobile phone design in the following five years.

If rice mix was amazing when it was born, it was unsatisfactory when it came to mix 2, and when it came to mix 3, it was pure industrial garbage.

The poor reputation of Mix3 led to the previous release of a new model of the mix series every year. In 19 and 20 years, no product was released.

Yan Yongsheng is the vice president of DaMi Group, mainly responsible for the systematic research and development of smartphones. He has served as chief structural designer at Motorola, VTech and other companies.

He was very confused: "Mr. Lei, what do you mean three months to complete the research and development work? Didn't we decide on the plan for mix4 in 2018? It was supposed to be released in spring next year at the earliest and in August at the latest!"

"Complete the research and development to the final version in three months? Even if I kill myself, I can't do it."

"And even if the research and development is completed in three months, factory production will still take time after the research and development is completed."

Lei Jun explained: "Kechuang Biotechnology has developed a chip with an accuracy of 99% for brain-computer connection operations."

"And the brain-computer connection device can be simplified into a style similar to a bone conduction Bluetooth headset."

If a brain-computer connection chip like a helmet is needed, even if it can achieve 100% accuracy, it cannot be applied on mobile phones because users will not accept wearing a helmet while playing with a mobile phone.

Lei Jun continued: "We need to integrate the brain-computer connection function into MIUI."

"Kechuang Biotechnology provides standardized interface calls. This work should not be difficult, but it is very tedious."

"Then the PCB layout inside the mobile phone needs to be readjusted to reserve space for the brain-computer connection chip."

Yan Yongsheng was pleasantly surprised when he first heard that the brain-computer connection with an accurate recognition rate of 99% can also be simplified into the style of a bone conduction Bluetooth headset. He knew full well what kind of dimensionality reduction impact such a product would have on his friends.

.

But it sounds like he has a big head. The workload is not ordinary, and he may not be able to complete the task every day.

"Then the brain-computer connection device worn by the user needs to be made in the style of a headset, as simple as possible, and the brain-computer connection chip also needs to be built into it."

"I know it's hard for you, but this is a rare opportunity for our mix series phones to come back to life."

"You don't think that Kechuang Biotechnology's patents are only open to our family, right?"

Yan Yongsheng reacted: "You mean other manufacturers will also develop products related to brain-computer connection?"

Lei Jun nodded: "Yes, we can have up to three months longer than others, and at least one month."

"This is a battle that cannot be lost. This is also the best opportunity for rice series mobile phones to occupy the high-end brand."

Yan Yongsheng asked: "Can Kechuang Biotech give us half a year? It would be best to be half a year ahead of other brands."

Yan Yongsheng's proposal is stupid, and half a year is a very clever time difference.

Mobile phones are updated and iterated once a year on average. Mobile phones with brain-computer connection functions are also mobile phones and are also updated every six months.

If Rice comes out with brain-computer connected mobile phones half a year before other manufacturers, it means that the life cycle of their previous generation products is almost the same before other mobile phone manufacturers release their previous generation products.

Then they will always be one generation ahead of other mobile phone manufacturers in terms of brain-computer connection.

For example, if rice goes on sale in January, by the time OV goes on sale in June, almost everything you need to buy has been bought.
