Early on Sunday morning, Xiao Qi went out with a lot of snacks and clothes.
When Chen Yulian heard that he was going to Chengdu for a few days, she stuffed a large suitcase for him. If the father and son hadn't stopped her, she might have had to prepare another suitcase.
The Xiao family was relatively wealthy. In addition to the gifts and snacks, Chen Yulian generously gave Xiao Qi three thousand yuan. In addition to paying for food and competition fees, the rest was used to buy some things for him.
Anyway, my son never spends money arbitrarily, and Chen Yulian was very happy to give him the money.
However, Xiao Xu and Chen Yulian didn't know that Xiao Qi got on the bus directly to Rongcheng after leaving home. After some driving, he got on the plane to Nanwan in the afternoon.
Nanwan was the first big city in China to be opened to the outside world. At that time, the whole country mobilized efforts to build this small fishing village into an international metropolis in just over 20 years, becoming the largest city in China.
It is the capital, Dongfang and the fourth largest city in Guangdong.
At the same time, Dongguan, located close to Nanwan, is the center of China's manufacturing industry and the core of the mobile phone manufacturing industry.
At its most exaggerated, Dongguan is responsible for processing 30% of the world's mobile phones. If Dongguan sneezes, the mobile phone market will be shaken.
Because Nanwan was built from scratch, the urban planning here is very systematic. Streets and buildings are everywhere, and there are bright lights everywhere. It looks very modern and fashionable.
After getting off the airport bus and standing in the city center of Nanwan, Xiao Qi didn't feel much.
There are many more high-rise buildings in the United States than in South Bay, and they are more distinctive. Compared with these buildings built for the sake of architecture, Xiao Qi doesn't like them very much and feels that they have no soul of their own.
When Xiao Qi came to Nanwan, his first purpose was to find a Baodao company that had established a branch in Nanwan in 2003.
This Baodao company is called MediaTek Technology Co., Ltd., or MediaTek (MTK) for short. It is not very famous in mainland China today. Even in 2013, it was not very famous in the minds of ordinary people.
But starting in the near future, MediaTek will be very powerful in the mobile phone industry, especially in the mainland mobile phone industry.
Because MediaTek provided Chinese mobile phone companies with a mobile phone chip developed by them. This mobile phone chip includes five major modules: CPU processor, channel encoder, digital signal processor, modem and interface. From then on, mobile phones
It is no longer necessary to buy several chips of core technology for combined production.
As a result, the core technology for the production of mobile phones has been completely lost.
To put it bluntly, MediaTek has packaged the motherboard and software functions of the mobile phone together to make a chip. If you buy it back, you only need to combine the MediaTek chip and casing, keyboard, speaker, antenna, earpiece, microphone and battery, etc.
Simply assemble it together and you have a ready-to-use mobile phone!
As for things like casings, speakers, batteries, etc., there are a lot of them in Dongguan, and they can be found in various brands and price ranges. For mobile phone manufacturers, there are no patents or technologies to speak of.
It is no exaggeration to say that a farmer who has received a week of training can still assemble a mobile phone skillfully.
Speaking more broadly, since the release of MediaTek's mobile phone chips, the R&D departments of many mainland mobile phone manufacturers have largely lost their existence value, because mainland mobile phone companies no longer need any technology -
In fact, historically, companies including Bird, Konka, Lenovo, BBK, etc. directly laid off their R&D departments.
Of course, these will only start to happen next year, that is, in May and June 2006. Until then, several major manufacturers will gradually accept the promotion of MediaTek's new generation chips, officially allowing MediaTek to dominate the mobile phone industry in China.
On the page, he began to write his own chapter in a rich and colorful way.
Currently, MediaTek still uses a mobile phone single chip that they developed in 2003. Compared with the models launched in 2006, the performance and price are simply too weak, so now there is nothing
Manufacturers pay their bills.
It is now September 2005, and MediaTek's new mobile phone chip should be still being developed and tested. It will not be fully formed until around the Spring Festival.
After MediaTek's mobile phone chip solution came out, it not only brought about huge changes in mobile phone production, but also a super subversion of the price of the mobile phone market.
Before MediaTek's mobile phone chips were launched, the mobile phone industry was dominated by large companies at home and abroad. Mobile phones with a price of less than 1,500 yuan were rare, and all mainstream models cost more than 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.
Once MediaTek's mobile phone chips are used, the manufacturing cost of mobile phones will directly drop to a few hundred yuan per unit.
Those small companies can simply launch mobile phones with decent performance for a thousand yuan or even lower prices. Then people will flock to buy cheap mobile phones, resulting in mobile phones with poor quality and no core technology.
Huaguo Mobile Phone Company collapsed immediately.
Even Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and other companies will be greatly affected and have to lower their prices.
It can be said that the era of huge profits that can be obtained from mobile phones has completely become history since the launch of MediaTek mobile phone chips.
In the days to come, mobile phones will become cheaper and cheaper, and many people should actually thank this company from Baodao.
The scientific name of the mobile phone that Xiao Qi wanted to assemble by himself is actually the one that everyone will be familiar with in the future - a copycat phone.
Xiao Qi's idea was to use his foresight to win MediaTek's mobile phone chip contract in one fell swoop before MediaTek launched a new mobile phone chip and when their self-confidence was not very high.
After getting the mobile phone chip, there is no need for any technology. When the time comes, Xiao Qi will take advantage of the time lag before MediaTek's mobile phone chip is widely used. He entrusts the factory to assemble a batch of knock-off phones of decent quality and sell them in the third- and fourth-tier markets.
.
Without the layers of exploitation by middlemen, Xiao Qi even decided to launch it at a super shocking price.
With such a cheap and easy-to-use mobile phone, can people in remote counties and towns not be happy to spend money to buy it?
Of course, this is a matter for the future.
What Xiao Qi has to do now is to find the general manager of MediaTek and persuade him to accept his proposed cooperation plan.
Xiao Qi would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous about this important event that he had never done before.
But after his rebirth, the young man's courage and personality had greatly changed, but he had absolutely no intention of giving up.
If you try hard, you may not succeed.
But if you don't work hard, there will be no hope at all.
