705 [Still have to start from 2G]
Given Song Weiyang's identity as the richest man in China and given that Song Weiyang's many prophecies have been fulfilled, no one dares to ignore what Song Weiyang said, at least in mainland China.
Some people even specifically dug out the book "The Future of Belongs to China" back then, hoping to find a trace of market opportunities from Song Weiyang's works.
Song Weiyang occasionally makes "strange" remarks, but he will always be carefully analyzed by those who are interested, and the media and netizens even use this as a gimmick for dissemination.
Sogou Tieba, Dr. Ma.
The "Titaba" has been born for nearly three years, and Sogou and Baidu have launched one after another. But one step ahead, one step ahead. Baidu Tieba has never developed, so it can only follow the Sogou Tieba to make a fortune.
Now, Baidu is almost giving up the Tieba project, and it invests very little manpower and capital. Sogou Tieba often launches a function, and Baidu Tieba will follow it and launch a function. If you are too lazy to innovate yourself, just copy it directly. Anyway, Tieba is so popular.
Sogou Tieba really became popular last year, and it originated from the talent show of "Super Girl".
A large number of netizens flocked to the "Super Girl Bar", and fans canvassed each other. Even those brainless fans who are not short of money hired water soldiers or hackers to post crazy posts to discredit competitors. Sogou Post Bar had to launch a verification code function, anonymous users and newly registered users, and they needed to enter a verification code every time they made a speech to limit the water stickers and robot stickers.
Sogou actually surpassed Sina and Sohu in one fell swoop because of the talent show "Super Girl", and became the largest site in the world.
With the end of the talent show, "Super Girl Bar" has gradually become deserted, but "Li Yuchun Bar" has emerged and has become the most active and traffic-rich post.
The second is "Dr. Ma"!
"Song Weiyang Bar" was actually created earlier, but somehow, netizens gathered in "Dr. Ma Bar". From the beginning of fans to post bars, they gradually became something similar to subculture forums. There are a variety of posts appearing every day, and even countless racing parties are rampant.
As for the game type Tieba, there are Shanhai Jingba, Legend Bar, Wow Bar, and World of Warcraft Bar that has the largest traffic. Tieba members are all game enthusiasts, and few people don’t play games. They have not yet developed into a holy place for online carnival.
"The human mentor Dr. Ma is bragging again, threatening that Shenzhou mobile phones will eliminate Nokia next year. The big brothers who are dissatisfied come in and chat. The title must be long and long..."
This is the post that "Dr. Ma Bar" was highly praised today.
"sofa."
"Press one on the bench."
"Want to eliminate Nokia? Please send a mobile phone that can smash walnuts first."
"Nokia is invincible in the world, long live the Nokia God Cult. Amen!"
"Don't forget, Dr. Ma also has a nickname called Song Dapao. Although he predicted it correctly several times, he said a lot of nonsense. This time he must be bragging again. I guess he wanted to advertise his mobile phone in China."
"Dad is so laughing so hard that he actually wants to eliminate Nokia. You said that the Chinese mobile phone was fucked by Motorola, but I believed it because of my mind that I just woke up. After all, Motorola exposed too much negative news last year. But Nokia can surpass it by domestic brands? I have been using the Nokia in my hand for three years and fell on the ground and fell countless times. Once I fell out of the toilet, took it out and took it apart and dried it with a hair dryer. Is it still able to make a phone call normally when I put it back. Is the Chinese mobile phone so awesome?"
"Dr. Ma started out as a fraud. I see how he wants to fool him this time."
"I also read that article. Shenzhou should be planning to launch a new phone next year. Dr. Ma said that it is an epoch-making science fiction phone, and it is estimated that it has super powerful functions and crushes the mobile phones on the market now."
"3g mobile phone?"
"Maybe it's a 3g mobile phone, Dr. Ma seems to be very confident."
"Haha, Nokia is abroad, and it's not without 3G mobile phones. If China had opened a 3G network, Nokia's 3G mobile phone would have come in long ago, and would it be possible to use Dr. Ma to brag here?"
"I have to say that Dr. Ma has expanded and he doesn't speak through his brain now."
"Domestic mobile phones are born without advantages, and I am half an industry insider. Huawei has developed 3G mobile phones long ago. Without 3G networks in China, it cannot be sold. It has too weak influence abroad and has no market. Not long ago, Huawei signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Vodafone. In the next few years, Huawei 3G mobile phones can only be labeled with Vodafone. Even if China launches 3G mobile phones, it is estimated that it can only follow Huawei's old path and find a big foreign brand to cooperate with others to create customized OEMs."
“…”
The post bar has become a mess, and even Song Weiyang's loyal fans don't really believe his remarks about eliminating Nokia.
In fact, he never said he wanted to eliminate Nokia, but just said he wanted to eliminate Nokia's existing models, which were taken out of context by magazine editors and netizens.
However, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers, as well as the heads of brands such as Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung, attach great importance to what Song Weiyang said! They have two concerns: First, China is developing 3g mobile phones and has made breakthrough progress; second, China may open a 3g network next year, and Song Weiyang is probably getting insider information.
Li Dongsheng, the boss of TCL, took the lead in calling Song Weiyang. After a greeting, he asked anxiously: "Boss Song, have you received any news?"
"What news?" Song Weiyang said.
"We will open a 3G network next year." Li Dongsheng said.
Song Weiyang asked with a smile: "Who told you?"
Li Dongsheng said: "Don't Shenzhou plan to launch a 3G mobile phone next year? Brother, please give me a message."
"I really didn't receive any news," said Song Weiyang.
"Okay, I have the opportunity to have a meal together." Li Dongsheng felt quite disappointed, and he felt that Song Weiyang was hiding important information.
TCL has invested heavily in the mobile phone field in the past few years. It not only spent huge amounts of money to acquire the mobile phone department of Alcatel, France, and built large mobile phone factories (the yield rate of OEM factories is too low), but also cooperated with Qualcomm and Philips to develop 3G mobile phones. It has 3G mobile phone R&D centers in Shenghai, Shenzhen and Huizhou.
It means that TCL has been stolen in the mobile phone field, but it ends up being stuck there without going up or down - the sales of 2G mobile phones are bleak, and the 3G license plate has not been issued for a long time.
If you can get the exact news from Song Weiyang, Li Dongsheng will probably grit his teeth and continue to spend money, and will continue to work hard to increase the research and development of the 3G mobile phone project.
Song Weiyang didn't want to be misunderstood for no reason and explained: "Shenzhou is indeed going to launch a mobile phone next year, but it has nothing to do with whether China opens a 3G network. Since the project needs to be kept confidential, I can only say so much, and you will know next year. Our new phone main market is overseas and will not focus on the local market for at least two or three years."
"Mainly investing in overseas markets? That's not a small difficulty," Li Dongsheng was quite surprised and said with a smile, "Then I wish Boss Song's development plan to be successfully achieved."
"Thank you." Song Weiyang said.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Huawei's President Ren called again. The conversation was similar to that of Li Dongsheng, and he also thought that China would open a 3G network next year.
No matter how Song Weiyang explained, although these two people were polite on the surface, they still refused to believe the truth. Then, relying on their respective connections, they inquired about the 3G situation in the Information Industry Department, but they still found nothing.
Even so, they still felt that Song Weiyang would not be aimless, and must have heard the tone of a major leader. These two companies have already invested a lot of funds, and it is very difficult to change the course and withdraw. They simply confirmed that Song Weiyang had internal news and continued to spend money to increase the R&D efforts of 3g!
TCL is only developing 3G mobile phones, and Huawei also needs to develop related technologies and basic equipment for 3G communications.
I don’t know if Song Weiyang cheated them or helped them in the long run.
At the same time, the Android (China), a joint venture between Ark Technology (Shenzhou Holdings) and Google, once again complained that there was insufficient funds and personnel. Their main task was to make the Android system mobile. Due to the performance problems of mobile phone chips, the Android system program size must be reduced to one-tenth.
Android (China) programmers have worked very hard, but the Android system they rewritten still cannot achieve the expected results. And Shenzhou Technology is constantly urging progress, which has caused many programmers' hairlines to rise sharply. The hair that the R&D department scans out every day can be used to open a wig factory.
Song Weiyang immediately contacted Google, hoping that both parties could continue to inject capital into Android (China).
But Larry Page did not take the development of Android's mobile phone system seriously and was determined not to continue investing. So, through Ark Technology, China Technology invested $5 million in Android (China), transferred 20 programmers, and increased its stake in Android (China) company to 65%.
It was not until early June that the Android system that could run on the arm11 mobile phone chip finally came out.
Then, the situation was very awkward...
During testing, you can only run one software, and if you run two software at the same time, you will get stuck. Moreover, as the number of uses increases, even if you run only one software, you will get stuck, and programmers can only continue to optimize the system.
A programmer from the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed to change the system operation mechanism. That is, only allocate memory space to the front-end program. When the software exits the background, only part of the data that was last run is left, and most of the rams are compressed into the rom space.
If this method is followed, the Android (mobile version) program will have to be rewrited again.
The main reason is that the mobile phone chips are too garbage at this time. Arm11 is enough and it is still difficult to meet the needs of smartphones.
Then, bad news came from the Rongcheng R&D Center. There were many difficulties in R&D technology for 3G mobile phones. If you want to seamlessly connect smartphones next year, it would be almost impossible to complete the task. The first generation of Shenzhou smartphones may only support 2g. If you want to support 3G networks, you have to wait until at least 2008.
However, the development of various mini programs is very smooth.
For example, the mini game "Fruit Ninja" that comes with mobile phones has become the best leisure method for technicians in Luzhou R&D Center. There is also the nine-grid input method, which was developed in cooperation with Sogou. Sogou will soon launch the "Sogou Intelligent Input Method".
Based on the actual situation of each R&D team, Song Weiyang and Shen Fuxing had repeated discussions and finally decided that it would be better to launch the first generation of Shenzhou smartphones in the domestic market, and it only supports 2g function for the time being - Song Weiyang is really not sure, and the first generation of Apple phones also only support 2g.
As the project progressed, the "fire-theft plan" began to leak in July, but most people regarded the project as a whimsical one.
Jobs faced the same situation, no matter how confidential it is, the project content is leaked more and more. In order to cope with this situation, he could only hold a product launch conference when the iPhone was still incomplete, and rely on all kinds of fraud to fool it. It took another half a year to officially launch the product.
Song Weiyang was purely asking for help, saying that he wanted to eliminate Nokia, which attracted friendly competitors to try every possible way to inquire about the situation. Although each R&D team is only responsible for one part, many clues are clearly linked, and by the end of the year, people have already found out clearly.
But it doesn't matter.
Domestic friendly companies can't catch up if they want to catch up, while foreign giants don't care at all.
Take Motorola as an example. In another time and space, even if Apple smartphones have been released, Nokia still has no sense of urgency or crisis. Even Motorola's senior executives also said: "The iPhone is not destructive, disruptive and innovative for the mobile phone industry. Because most of the functions of the iPhone are adopted by manufacturers such as Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung. The full-screen design is the biggest failure, abandoning the ease of use of physical keyboards, making it more troublesome for users to enter text."
