Technology: Start by selling mobile phones

Mo Ran entered the system, and then a crisp prompt sounded.

[It has been detected that five products of enterprises under the host's name have reached 1% market share, meeting the activation conditions. The main task of 'Market Share' is now officially activated. 】

【Ding……! 】

[Congratulations to the host for activating the ‘Market Share’ main mission. 】

[Task name: New forces in the industry. 】

[Task Statement: Whether a company is competitive does not depend on how many products it launches, but on how large its market share is in the industry. 】

[The higher the market share, the more it shows that the company has strong competitiveness and high industry status in the current industry. 】

[Therefore, after the enterprises under the host name have experienced rapid expansion in the initial stage, they now need to increase their market share in various industries and truly become a new force in the industry with a certain say in the industry. 】

[Task requirement: Increase the market share of any industry to 5% and become a new force that cannot be ignored in the industry. 】

[Mission time limit: twelve months! 】

[Task reward: You can get a gift pack designated by any category: good (level B). 】

[Extra reward: If three industries reach 5% market share within one year, the good (B-level) gift package can be upgraded to an excellent (A-level) gift package. 】

[Note: Failure of this task will result in 500,000 points being deducted. 】

[Excuse me, host, do you accept this main quest? 】

This task is quite interesting.

Mo Ran was a little surprised after not receiving a mission from the system for a long time. After reading the mission content, he was so surprised that he fell into deep thought.

really.

As the system said, Nietzsche has expanded rapidly in the past two years, entering four or five industries.

Although each industry has a small reputation, there is still some gap compared with the real top brands in the industry.

For example, Huaji, Xiaomi, VIVO, and Apple on mobile phones;

For example, Gree, Daikin and Midea air conditioners.

At this time, it is also the right way to focus on increasing the market share of the industry.

Soon, his attention fell on the mission reward.

To be honest, it is not difficult to complete this task with ordinary rewards. Mo Ran took a look and found that the current market share of Nietzsche mobile phones has reached 3.6%. In one year, it will most likely reach 5%.

What level is 5%?

2018,

OPOP ranks first in market share, with 19.8%, annual sales of 78 million units, and approximately 6.5 million units sold in a month.

The second place is VIVO, 18.5%, with annual sales of 70 million units, about 5.8 million units a month.

Next is Honor with 52 million units, 13.7%, about 4.3 million units a month;

Xiaomi’s 50 million units, 13.1%, approximately 4.16 million units a month;

Huaji 48 million units, 12.7%, about 4 million units a month;

Apple 34 million units, 9.1%, about 2.8 million units a month;

Nietzsche 11 million units, 3.6%, about 910,000 units a month;

At this point, the data in the head stops abruptly.

After Nietzsche mobile phone, Meizu mobile phone market share is 1%, with monthly sales of 280,000 units.

Samsung mobile phones accounted for 0.8%, with monthly sales of 220,000 units;

Smartisan mobile phone 0.7%......

It can be seen that Nietzsche mobile phone has just caught up with the first-tier mainstream manufacturers, ranking seventh in the market.

That is to say,

Based on the current situation of Nietzsche mobile phones, in order to achieve a 5% market share, the annual sales volume only needs to increase to 15 million units, and the monthly sales volume can reach 1.25 million units.

According to the current situation, Nietzsche's mobile phones are full of momentum, and there are big hits like the "Brilliant S1". It will not be difficult to continue to expand its market share in the future.

so,

After determining that there was a high probability that he could complete ordinary tasks, Mo Ran was thinking about extra rewards.

[You only need to "increase the market share of all three industries to 5%" to obtain an excellent (A-level) gift package. 】

After thinking for a moment, he accepted the task first. At the same time, his mind began to think about which two industries besides mobile phones could easily meet the 5% market share.

He first thought of television, but quickly dismissed it.

After two years of development, Nietzsche TV currently has a market share of 1.8%. This is not because the Nietzsche TV business department is not working hard, but the competition in the TV industry is indeed very high, or the involution is very serious.

As a stock market, the TV industry has a very small growth rate every year. If you want to expand your market share, you must seize resources from other manufacturers. You can imagine the difficulty.

In addition, TV "eats" offline channels in shopping malls, and this happens to be Nietzsche's weakness.

so.

Compared with the confidence in the mobile phone business, Mo Ran is not confident enough in the TV business.

Soon, he set his sights on the air conditioning business.

“As of the end of June 2018, Nietzsche air conditioners’ domestic market share was 1.3%.”

1.3%.

Mo Ran shook his head again.

Although the air-conditioning business does not "eat" offline channels that much, and it can be regarded as an industry dividend from the "inverter era", the brand power of the leading companies in this industry is too strong.

Gree, Midea, Haier,

Both are companies with an annual turnover exceeding 100 billion. Nietzsche Air Conditioning is currently developing well, and Huang Hai is also very capable, but Huang Hai and the Nietzsche Air Conditioning business department he is responsible for still need time.

Within a year, it is highly likely that it will be impossible to increase from 1.8% to 5%.

Not to mention Nietzsche's laptop and tablet, Mo Ran immediately focused on the "TF memory card".

Because "TF memory card" is given away for free with Nietzsche's mobile phone, its market share has reached 3.8%, which happens to be Nietzsche's current strength.

Nietzsche mobile phones can continue to give away "TF memory cards". At the same time, if this is not possible, the "Jinghong series" memory cards can also be sold at reduced prices to gain more market share.

Thinking of this, Mo Ran felt relieved.

It is not a big problem for "TF memory card" to reach 5% market share within one year.

So,

There is only one last spot left.

After a moment, the "MTX-1 Artificial Intelligence General Parallel Computing Platform" and the "CR-1 Intelligent Color Doppler Ultrasound Machine" he had obtained before flashed through his mind.

One is software and the other is medical equipment color ultrasound machine.

He had previously learned about the system's "MTX-1 artificial intelligence general parallel computing platform". To put it simply, it is a packaged software specifically used to accelerate training and improvement of "AI algorithm models".

This is a bit like the EDA software that must be used in the chip design field.

Why must EDA software be used to design chips?

Because to design a chip, there are hundreds of millions of circuit diagrams alone and hundreds of millions of transistors. It is impossible to draw them one by one manually.

so,

In fact, when designing a chip, many common circuit designs inside it, such as the self-test module and response module, use various classic design circuit diagrams that come with the software, which greatly saves development time.

The same goes for AI artificial intelligence training.

The data analysis and pre-installed modular functions provided by the software can greatly reduce the cost and difficulty of training "artificial intelligence" for enterprises.

In this field, "AI training" is completely monopolized by NVIDIA, and almost all enterprises, scientific research institutions, and universities are using their CUDA computing platform to train "AI algorithm models."

If Nietzsche himself also launched his own graphics card GPU and this "MTX-1 artificial intelligence general parallel computing platform\

,"With the guarantee of excellent (Grade A) quality of system software, it shouldn’t be too difficult to grab Nvidia’s 5% market share within a year.

Thinking of this, Mo Ran felt more and more that this could be done.

As for Nietzsche’s own graphics card, the GPU…

In fact, if it is only used for "AI model training", the NPU chip is even more advantageous than the GPU due to its high efficiency and performance.

At present, "Yellow River Memory" has mastered the 32nm NPU chip, and this is the NPU chip used in mobile phones.

"if……"

Mo Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and an astonishing idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

"If the chip power consumption is not required, can we design an NPU chip with more powerful performance, similar to a graphics card?"

"Totally possible!"

"and……"

Mo Ran's eyes narrowed again, and another thought came to him.

"Moreover, compared to Nvidia which has to purchase their GPU graphics cards and then build its own 'training server' for training, can Nietzsche use its own NPU chip to build a server and then provide a 'cloud server' for training AI?"

"It seems okay!"

In this way, Nietzsche provides "training cloud server computing power" and "training software for computing platforms", and it is entirely possible to grab Nvidia's 5% market share in this market!

Mo Ran's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but let out a breath.

Mobile phone business, TF memory card business, plus the "AI model training" computing platform, the three industries are alive and well!

but,

After relaxing slightly, Mo Ran's thoughts came to the last "CR-1 intelligent color ultrasound machine".

Like the "MTX-1 Artificial Intelligence Universal Parallel Computing Platform", he had also learned about some situations in the medical device industry before.

In the field of medical equipment, almost all top domestic equipment is currently monopolized by foreign manufacturers.

For color ultrasound machines, the major market shares are monopolized by the American GE (General Electric) brand, the Dutch Philips, Germany's Siemens, and Japan's Canon, Fuji, and Hitachi.

There is only one Mindray brand made in China that is somewhat successful, but its market share and reputation are obviously not good enough.

The reason is that there are certain gaps in details, quality, and reputation.

"Nietzsche can give it a try. There are production drawings provided by the system. The quality and details are not a problem."

“The only thing is word of mouth and popularity.”

"However... now the Nietzsche brand can be regarded as a 'domestic light' in China, and the problem of popularity is not bad."

Mo Ran thought for a while and finally decided to start the "color ultrasound machine" project as a backup option.

after all,

Now Nietzsche can be regarded as the master. Where is the 800 million working capital in the account? If you lose, you will lose, and you will lose!

Mo Ran was relieved for a rare moment, and he was well aware of this mission.

The focus in the next year will naturally be on mobile phones, TF memory cards, "AI training model platforms" and "color ultrasound machines".

After determining the specific direction in his mind, Mo Ran immediately exited the system.

Soon, his thoughts were focused on the mobile phone industry.

Although the mobile phone business is currently developing well, it cannot be taken lightly.

and.

Even without this 5% market share mission, Mo Ran still has to face the issue of the future development direction of Nietzsche mobile phones.

how to say?

“Nietzsche X1” is derived from the Iphone

Especially the Iphone series. Starting from Iphone 12, 13, 14, and 15 just changed the size of the camera, without any improvement at all.

so,

Mo Ran knew very well that after a product as powerful as Apple gradually became mediocre, it would be almost impossible for a Nietzsche mobile phone to shock the entire Internet with its appearance and performance like the "Brilliant S1" when it was released.

finally,

He thought of foldable screen phones.

Although folding screen mobile phones will not be mainstream until 2023, but... folding screen mobile phones have always been top-notch, and the popularity they bring is no less than any other mobile phone!

and.

In his memory, he remembers clearly that the world's first folding screen mobile phone from Samsung was in 2019, which will not be launched until next year.

That is to say,

If we can release the world's first folding screen mobile phone before Samsung, it will undoubtedly be a huge promotion for the Nietzsche mobile phone brand!

He also checked it in the system mall just now. There is indeed a "folding screen mobile phone design drawing" that transcends the timeline in the system mall.

but.

He was not in a hurry to buy design drawings, but called Hao Technology.

As a folding screen mobile phone, the internal structure, hardware, and heat dissipation are not difficult. The most difficult technical issue is the "folding screen".

Hao Keji came to the office soon.

When I heard Mo Ran proposed that the next research and development task was to produce folding screen mobile phones, I was suddenly stunned.

"Mr. Mo, I have read reports on the research and development of foldable screen mobile phones in journals, but the biggest problem with foldable screen mobile phones is the screen."

"This screen not only needs a flexible screen, but also ensures that the screen can still maintain its shape and reliability after a large number of repeated uses. It may be difficult to achieve this with current technology!"

"Moreover, at present, the market prospects of folding screen mobile phones are still unknown. Are you really sure that we really want to focus our research and development on folding screen mobile phones?"

Hao Keji's reaction was not surprising to Mo Ran, and he didn't explain much.

Or maybe he is the only one who is very sure about the development prospects of foldable screen mobile phones in the future.

True.

Folding screen mobile phones will not be mainstream until 2023. However, all top mobile phone companies have never given up research and development on folding screen mobile phones.

Nothing else.

Folding screen mobile phones are positioned as business machines. They are designed for a specific group of people and are a symbol of high-end and status.

right.

High end!

expensive!

If Nietzsche can be the first to launch a qualified mainstream product on a folding screen, it will be self-evident that Nietzsche's brand value will be improved.

"Just do as I say."

“First set up a team, and then focus on solving the problem of screen folding first.”

"Don't we have close cooperation with BOE? Give them a try."
