Chapter 78 New Year
With the New Year coming, Zhou Zhen couldn't spare any time to rest.
The past seven years have been a fruitful year for Zhou Zheng.
The upcoming 18 years will be a breakthrough year for Zhou Zhen.
After a period of development, Rouyu Company has basically stopped the production line of r2 material screens and fully transferred to the production of r3 material screens.
At the same time, at the end of the year, with the efforts of Vice President Liu Peng, the company reached cooperation with a number of smart TV manufacturers.
This also means that the company will expand a new production line in addition to the screen production line to provide higher-quality OLED screens to various TV manufacturers.
The expansion of sales channels and production lines will also make the company more capable in future development.
At the same time, Zhou Zhen also spent nearly 100 million yuan to establish a new communications equipment company during the transition between old and new years.
After considering his own experiences before rebirth, Zhou Zhen named the company Roupai Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. without hesitation.
Obviously Zhou Zhen's goal is now very clear.
After being patient for so long, Zhou Zhen finally decided to take action and turn the entire industry upside down.
The establishment of a new company made Zhou Zhen become more concerned.
What is most important in the 21st century?
Talent!
In order to make the company's future development smoother, Zhou Zhen also began to recruit corresponding talents in the industry.
Talents responsible for the supply chain!
Talents responsible for product marketing and channel sales!
Talents responsible for product design!
Overall, Zhou Zhen needs a complete team to face the challenges of the new year.
And Zhou Zhen set his sights on veterans in some industries.
The current trend of the entire mobile phone industry is basically stable, and various mobile phone manufacturers that were active in the past few years have gradually declined.
This will also cause some relevant talents to leave these declining mobile phone manufacturers, and finally choose to join large manufacturers, or lie dormant and wait for opportunities.
Zhou Zhen also recruited Tian Bo, the former deputy general manager of Bird Mobile, Li Xing, the product manager of Duowei Mobile, and Yang Feng, the sales director of LeTV Mobile during this period of time.
The competition for domestic mobile phones in the past few years has been extremely fierce, and some domestic brand mobile phones that were once popular on the market have finally disappeared.
Bird, one of the first manufacturers in China to produce mobile phones, eventually disappeared due to strategic misjudgments.
Of course, Bird mobile phones have not completely disappeared from the overseas market. The sub-brand of Bird mobile phones, Transsion (the relationship between Bird and Transsion is like BBK and Blue Factory), is doing well in the African market.
As for Duowei Mobile Phones, it is one of the earliest manufacturers of women's mobile phones among domestic mobile phone brands.
But in the end, due to the lack of corresponding innovation and sufficient offline stores, Duowei Mobile Phone was eventually eliminated by two manufacturers, Blue Factory and Green Factory.
LeTV mobile phone is the most legendary brand among Internet brands.
The founder of this brand is none other than the famous Boss Jia.
At that time, Boss Jia also proposed the concept of the Internet of Things when he launched LeTV mobile phones, and this concept at the time could be said to be a very advanced concept.
It's a pity that although Boss Jia has a good vision, he is somewhat ambitious and lacking in ability.
After all, Boss Jia himself is an accountant, so he naturally has some shortcomings in professional abilities.
In the end, LeTV mobile phones broke out into many scandals, and finally successfully disappeared from the public eye.
Of course, LeTV mobile phones were also a relatively popular brand among Internet brands at the time, and could even compete with Rice at its peak.
These three are basically veterans who have been in the mobile phone industry for nearly ten years and have very sufficient work experience.
The Roupai company founded by Zhou Zhen needs such professional talents.
In addition, Zhou Zhen also set his sights on Berry Company.
The most famous member of the Berry Clan is Huang Zhang, followed by the so-called Three Musketeers of the Berry Clan.
This year, the company has experienced the biggest ups and downs within the Berry family. The Three Musketeers who have made great contributions to the company have left one after another.
Of course, Zhou Zhen is also optimistic about the abilities of the Three Musketeers of the Berry Clan, especially the one who is the father of "flyme".
If you want to establish a mobile phone company, you not only need the efforts of the hardware department, but also the continuous efforts and optimization of the software department.
Mobile phone manufacturers are not just supply chain integrators.
The software teams of different manufacturers have different strengths and can also provide different experiences with different hardware.
The company behind Zhou Zhen may be relatively weak in this regard. It should be said that the corresponding small factories are somewhat weak in this aspect.
As for these relatively weak manufacturers, they either use native-like systems, or they consider relying on other major manufacturers to magically modify the UI systems that the major manufacturers should customize.
Zhou Zhen’s ambition is quite big!
After all, if Zhou Zhen wants to continue his career, reputation and income are indispensable.
Only by reaching the highest level step by step can Zhou Zhen truly be unafraid of any challenges.
As for the system, Zhou Zhen’s plan is to temporarily see if he can rely on major manufacturers to obtain the corresponding system UI authorization.
If the negotiated price is too expensive, Zhou Zhen may consider using a native-like system on the product.
Although native-like systems have certain disadvantages in terms of functionality and localization, native systems have certain advantages in the fluency and playability of the corresponding system.
Of course, if a native-like system is adopted, perhaps the company will relax restrictions on the root permissions of the product, making it easier for users to flash and modularize their phones.
Zhou Zhen is also in full swing preparing for his rise in 2018.
At the beginning of the year, Gaotong officially released the new Fire Dragon 845 processor chip to the public.
This Fire Dragon 845 chip continues to use Sansan's 10nm process technology, and uses four 2.8ghz a75 cores and four 1.8ghz energy efficiency cores in the CPU.
What surprises most users is that this time the Fire Dragon 845 only uses four 2.8ghz cores in terms of core frequency.
Of course, the a75 architecture itself is a slightly upgraded version of the a73 (the CPU core of 835 and 660).
Compared with the a73, the performance is only improved by 10%, but the power consumption is reduced by 15% under the same performance.
In order to narrow the performance gap between the two processor chips of Fire Dragon 835 and 845, Jiaotong can only work hard on the frequency.
Although the performance of Fire Dragon 845 is 20% higher than that of Fire Dragon 835, the power consumption of Fire Dragon 845 is 30% higher than that of Fire Dragon 835.
In terms of running scores, the Fire Dragon 845 has a single-core running score of 521, a multi-core running score of 2321 points, and the AnTuTu v7 version has a running score of 290,000 points.
It can be said that the overall performance of the Fire Dragon 835 processor chip is equivalent to the future Dimensity 800 and Fire Dragon 768g levels.
Of course, the launch of the Fire Dragon 845 chip has the greatest significance for mobile phones in increasing production capacity.
That's right! Before the Fire Dragon 845, the supply of Fire Dragon's flagship processor chips to the domestic market was actually not that sufficient.
Most of Fire Dragon's flagship processor chips are supplied to international manufacturers such as Sansang, while the Fire Dragon chips supplied by domestic manufacturers are basically mid-range chips such as 660 and 625.
This year, Gaotong stated that it will further pay attention to the Chinese market and will supply Fire Dragon 8 series processor chips in the Chinese market on a large scale.
It is expected that the shipment volume of Fire Dragon 8 series processor chips in China this year will be more than five times that of previous years.
Nowadays, Chinese mobile phone brands are beginning to slowly rise, and their influence in the international market is gradually increasing. This allows Huolong to see the future development trend of the Chinese market.
Starting this year, Fire Dragon 8 series processor chips can be seen on various mobile phone brands.
Of course, the biggest gainer is the rice company.
After all, Rice Company is the most loyal ally of Jiaotong Company, and most of the early Fire Dragon chips were basically eaten by rice.
However, the supply of Fire Dragon 835 chips is too small, so the shipment volume of the rice phone 6 series is not so ideal.
