Chapter 129 Strategic Cooperation (Fourth Change)

Chapter 129 Strategic Cooperation (Fourth Change)
Everyone followed Qin Yuanqing to a conference room with doubts.

Qin Yuanqing turned on the projector, then turned on the laptop in his hand, entered the computer password, and opened a folder.

I saw a palm-sized mobile phone appear on the screen, one size larger than the current Apple mobile phone, and also thinner.

This is the mate10pro made by Qin Yuanqing in three days. He has used this mobile phone for five years, and the performance is very stable, and the battery of the mobile phone is also very durable. Pop-up reminders to update the system pop up from time to time.

"This is a smartphone in my mind. It uses a 10nm process processor and a 5.9-inch 2k resolution screen." Qin Yuanqing introduced them one by one, starting from the phone's charger, charging socket, earphone cable, screen, and fingerprint lock. , chips, systems, etc.

Mr. Ren and several people from Huawei were surprised. They didn't expect that Qin Yuanqing would make such a beautiful and high-performance mobile phone. If he really made this mobile phone, it would surpass the iPhone 4 by a large margin.

"Academician Qin, I have a few questions I want to ask." A young man came out: "Now that 3G has just started, why are you already on 4G, Academician Qin?"

3G has become a hot word since this year, and with the promotion of the country, 4G has only begun to enter people's lives.For people, the 3G era has just begun, as some places have advertised, entering the 3G era.

However, as an experienced person, Qin Yuanqing is very clear that 3G is actually just a transitional period. In a few years, 3G has entered the 4G era, and 4G is in line with people's lives.

"3G is based on WCDMA. From the user's point of view, 3G is for making calls, sending text messages, and swiping pictures on the web. But we should know that video is king. In the 4G era, people can use mobile phones to video chat and watch movies and TV shows. , You can even use your mobile phone for office work." Qin Yuanqing said.

其实4G标准，在2008年就商定完成了4G标准，欧美国家在11年开始商用4G，而华夏则是需要到了2013年国家才向三大运营商发放4G拍照。

It can be seen how fast the 4G era has come.

"Academician Qin, the screen of the iPhone 4 is not very big now, why did you design this one with such a big screen!" The young man expressed his doubts.

Now, every product launched by Apple is an example for others to learn from. Everyone is a copycat, but the performance is not even half of others.

"A mobile phone is not just a phone call, but a terminal that integrates life, entertainment, study, and work. The big screen is the development trend of smart phones." Qin Yuanqing is convinced of this, after all, history has proved that, Small screens have no future.

It won't take many years for all major mobile phone brands to use large screens uniformly. After all, watching videos, watching dramas and playing games can have a good experience.

Even if it is Apple, it can't stop the tide.

Even in the back, a curved screen has been developed!
"Academician Qin, I don't know how long it will take to produce a mature product?" Mr. Ren showed a firm expression, and asked the question he was most concerned about, time!

"The plan is 2 years, and the new technologies formed during this period can be gradually applied to Huawei mobile phones! After 2 years, all aspects of technology will be mature!" Qin Yuanqing called out a form, which was the time limit plan for various aspects of technology.

"2 years!?" Mr. Ren pondered for a while: "How much research funding is needed? How to cooperate?"

"The total research funding is estimated to be 40 billion, and Warwick will spend 20 billion annually! As for the cooperation, the two parties will set up a laboratory in the form of patent authorization, which will be decided by our principal. What do you think?" Qin Yuanqing said.

How much is 40 billion research funds?
many!a lot of!

Shuimu University's annual education expenditure is less than 100 billion!
But really a lot?
In fact, not much. Apple invested billions of dollars in the development of smartphones, which does not include chips, screens and batteries.

Therefore, 40 billion in scientific research funding is not much. This is also because Qin Yuanqing has a clear goal, and Huaxia's labor costs are also low. Otherwise, let alone 40 billion, even 400 billion will not be able to get it!

Next came the negotiation between the principal and Mr. Ren. The two did not confront each other, negotiated fiercely, and refused to give up an inch. On the contrary, they talked and laughed, and they had already finalized the cooperation framework without knowing it.

For Huawei, an additional 40 billion R&D investment is naturally huge, but Huawei's annual R&D expenses are now as high as 200 billion, and it is not impossible to overcome it with a little bit of teeth.

Qin Yuanqing didn't say much, including the proportion of both parties in the laboratory, authorization, personnel, etc., but he was still asked to serve as the chief designer. According to Mr. Ren, he invested in people or projects, and it was Qin Yuanqing who touched his heart. , but not others.

Qin Yuanqing said that he was also very helpless, why he accidentally added a title to his head, the scale of this smartphone research and development is much larger than that of car chassis and gearbox.At least the number of engineers is as many as a thousand. Can this still make people have fun.

Shuimu University and Warwick held a press conference. This is the largest single scientific research grant that Shuimu University has received, so it is natural to publicize it.

The strategic cooperation between the two has also caused a huge sensation. After all, Warwick is already a Fortune 500 company, and its reputation in China has gradually surpassed that of Lianxiang, and Shuimu University is the best school in the country. It is a strong alliance.

More importantly, Warwick has invested 40 billion in scientific research funds, and it is still 2 years!According to what Mr. Ren said at the press conference, there is no cap on scientific research funding.

And Qin Yuanqing also realized Mr. Ren's resoluteness. The day before signing the cooperation agreement, Huawei's relevant technical leaders had arrived in the capital, including the later famous HiSilicon Semiconductor.

It was also at this time that Qin Yuanqing knew that Huawei also had its own research institute in the capital!

The research and development of the entire project is not only carried out at Shuimu University, part of it will be carried out by Warwick's R&D department, and part of it will be developed jointly by the two.

Qin Yuanqing was also very busy. First of all, the establishment of the project, the financial co-work account, the decomposition of the project, and the determination of the person in charge of each sub-project, etc., although there were helpers, it took half a month before and after. Smoothed out the entire project team.

The person in charge of the chipset is Yang Yong, the person in charge of HiSilicon technology. The chipset is mainly completed in the HiSilicon R&D department. Shuimu University will send 20 people to the HiSilicon R&D department to participate in the research and development. The technical indicators of RF, touch screen controller chip, Memory, wireless IC and power management IC are listed, and he checks the progress regularly.

The LCD screen group is headed by Huang Yinshu, a professor at Shuimu University, who has conquered LCD screen technology.The key to the LCD screen is the fingerprint lock and touch screen technology, and some technical barriers must be avoided, otherwise there will be lawsuits.

The lithium battery pack was handed over to the New Energy and Material Chemistry Research Office of the Nuclear Energy and New Energy Technology Research Institute of Shuimu University. This research room was built in the early 90s and is the main research unit for lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells at Shuimu University. , after years of research and accumulation, the laboratory has established a relatively complete experimental platform for the research of lithium-ion batteries and their materials.

This is also the group that Qin Yuanqing is most optimistic about. After all, he has strong technical force and enough experience. Making a large 4000mAh battery that supports fast charging is not a big challenge for the laboratory.

The real tough battle is the mobile phone operating system, which is personally operated by Qin Yuanqing, because neither Shuimu University nor Warwick has enough influential technical personnel.As for the mobile operating system, for some reason, it still uses the name Hongmeng OS.

Without Qin Yuanqing, the little butterfly, the Hongmeng operating system would not be officially released until August 2019, 8, when Huawei holds the Huawei Developer Conference in Dongguan.

It's just that the promotion of the Hongmeng operating system has encountered great resistance, and it has not gained much market share in two years.

In addition to the more than 500 engineers sent by Huawei, Qin Yuanqing directly recruited more than [-] engineers in a month, and there were [-] engineers for the mobile phone operating system alone.

The research and development of the mobile operating system is not that easy. Otherwise, the mobile operating systems produced by so many mobile phone manufacturers in China will not have a good reputation, and most of them are based on standard Android modified systems, saying that they are their own systems. , which is actually Android.

A single mobile phone operating system requires so many engineers, and a more complex computer operating system is even more difficult.

Therefore, it is normal that China has not been able to produce a decent computer operating system for so many years.

Internet technology, once a technological monopoly is formed, the technical barriers will really cause headaches.

However, the strategic cooperation between Warwick and Shuimu University has not attracted much attention to mobile phone giants such as Samsung and Apple. As personal experiencers, they are too aware of how expensive technology research and development is. Apple has spent tens of billions of dollars back and forth. The research and development expenses in US dollars have established the status of king in the new era of smartphones.Samsung has also continuously invested tens of billions of dollars in heavy money, so that it has such a small seat, a mere 40 billion yuan, what can it be used for.

Nokia and Motorola even sneered. If smartphones were so easy, they wouldn't be helpless as their stocks keep falling.

Once a technical barrier is formed, it is a wall, and it is not so easy to cross a wall.

The public intellectuals in China also criticized one by one, and they were completely unfavorable, saying that it was a waste of money and money, and they were overestimating their capabilities, and cited various data.

Qin Yuanqing ran at both ends, taking care of both the smartphone project and the two laboratories, wishing to split himself in half.

As for the various voices on the Internet, Qin Yuanqing was noncommittal. The current smartphone technology barriers have not yet been formed. If you don't do it now, you will basically be helpless in the future.
