[076] suicide note(1/2)

"Mr. Fang!"

"Mr. Fang is early!"

...

The ancient poetry company has experienced several expansions and has also been relocated several times. Now it has rented three floors for office work. According to Song Tang's request, Fang Chang'an put her down near the company and went there separately.

He walked out of the elevator and came to his office amid the greetings of his colleagues.

More than ten minutes before he went to work, he first took a glass of water, then turned on the computer, browsed the email in the email, and responded selectively. Before he could finish his work, his assistant Gao Hai walked in.

She is less than 30 years old this year and graduated from graduate school. She studied corporate management and is not beautiful. She has stood out from the three candidates and is considerate and delicate. She has been in the ancient poetry company for two years and is Fang Chang'an's only assistant.

After Song Tang graduated, Fang Changan considered transferring Gao Hai and letting Song Tang be the assistant, but she refused because of the relationship between the two. Giving him an assistant would make her feel like she was being kept. She insisted on going to the interview by herself and going to work, and repeatedly warned him not to go through the back door.

Ancient poetry is already a leader in the domestic mobile phone market, surpassing Samsung to top the domestic smartphone shipment list. Although his founder and president have just left the campus, his identity is no longer comparable and he has begun to have his own itinerary.

He went downstairs with Gao Hai, and the driver was already waiting - Fang Changan once suspected the necessity of the driver, but later found that he often had to think in the car, and for the sake of traffic safety, he hired a business driver.

He came back only when noon was approaching, and he also brought a contract. As a company that was from the legal representative to the registration location in Beijing, Ancient Poetry actively paid taxes every year. He signed a bet agreement with the government at the beginning of this year. Now before the end of the year, the tax amount has been reached and he has obtained a piece of land to build the company's own science and technology innovation park.

I went to the cafeteria with Gao Hai for dinner, and in the afternoon I went to see the site with several senior executives of the company. It was located near Zhongguancun Software Park. The Xiaomi Science and Technology Innovation Park in later generations was not far away. I wonder if it would become a neighbor in the future.

However, when it comes to building its own science and technology park, ancient poetry still came to the forefront of Xiaomi. After being robbed of luck by ancient poetry, Xiaomi could only carry out the cost-effectiveness to the end, and there were ancient poetry being pressed in front of it. It was not like in 2013 in his previous life, but it had already had a considerable number of fans and a considerable market share. Surviving was definitely not a problem.

The so-called peers are enemies, let alone robbed of luck. Because of the gap between the two sides, Xiaomi in this life was even more unbearable than the vulgar marketing in the previous life. Fang Chang'an was a little annoyed by being tied up several times, but he still maintained his rationality and ignored it, and strictly prohibited the company's executives from going to an end.

If you make up for this kind of thing, you will lose. You can't "fall". Look at Apple, you are beaten up by other companies at press conferences every year. When did you mention other people at press conferences?

Of course, this is also without threat. When Huawei mate 20 began to defeat Apple in the high-end market, its share declined all the way. At the iPhone 11 series press conference, Gao Ao Apple also beat Huawei and Samsung at the press conference, and it was pressed to the ground to rub:

It not only used the iPhone 11 released that day as a comparison, but also used the iPhone exp released last year to ravage the Samsung S10 and Huawei P30pro.

This is also very Apple's behavior - not to mention my new model this year, the old model last year still beats you!

Still true.

Although senior executives are forbidden from the end of the situation, the counterattack methods they should have will naturally not be prohibited. There is no need to find fault at all. Xiaomi itself is covered in fishyness, just grabbing and beating it to death. Just as Apple's arrogant door and prism door have slowly subsided, and we have to find something for the marketing department to do.

Back to the company, we held a meeting between the department heads. We first reported on the achievements of the two important new products released yesterday. The online and offline responses were very good. It can be said that we have maintained the "unexpected popularity" of the ancient Chinese mobile phone last year.

Fang Changan is a mobile phone that plans a generation of ancient poems. Fang Changan is built in the direction of the unexpectedly popular Huawei mate7. mate7 was released in 2014. At that time, the rivals were the iPhone 6, which had the highest smartphone sales in history, Samsung S5, Note5, Xiaomi 4, and Meizu mx4... These are all mobile phone series that continued from the beginning of the rise of the smartphone market to the peak of the mobile Internet. The only exception is probably the Meizu mx series, but at that time, Meizu's attention and size should not be underestimated.

In that era when domestic mobile phones were almost locked in the market below 2,000, the price of mate7 starts at 2,999 yuan, and the starting price is the ceiling of domestic mobile phones at that time!

Almost no one is optimistic, including Huawei itself!

The result is such a mobile phone, with a 6-inch 1080 resolution screen, which has a processor performance that is more than a generation behind Qualcomm, and Huawei's elderly UI aesthetic... so high that the price that broke through the ceiling was soon robbed!

Can't buy it if you increase the price by 400 or 500 yuan!

How unexpected is it?

Huawei itself didn't know why it became popular!

After the popularity of mate7, Huawei improved the positioning of the mate series. The following year, it released the successor of mate7, mate      s, and upgraded the processor to Kirin 935. At the same time, it probably heard many people's complaints about "the screen is too big", reducing the screen from 6 inches to 5.5 inches, and the battery capacity also shrank from 4100mAh to 2700mAh!

As a result, it couldn't be sold at all after it was launched.

Huawei, who was poured with a basin of cold water, woke up and released the mate in two months. Return to mate. At 7 o'clock, many people complained about the large 6-inch screen, and the battery returned to 4,000 mAh.

From then on, long battery life and large screens have been the most important selling points of the mate series!

This year's battery capacity will be 3700 mAh, and last year's generation of ancient Chinese phones with 3500 mAh is slightly worse than mate7. However, in this era when the battery capacity of mobile phones is generally below 2000 mAh, it is completely enough to support the selling points and marketing of long battery life.

However, hardware alone is not enough, and software control is definitely needed. Luoshen App Store has become the mainstream in ancient poetry and ancient poetry mobile phones, but ancient poetry is far from controlling Android applications.

Fang Changan is contacting Xiaomi, Huawei, Meizu, Oppo, and Vivo to form a "Unified Push Alliance". The organization in his previous life was established in 2017, and it didn't even have the function of farting, it was just a decoration.

If Fang Changan wants to build high-end software control, software control is a step that must be taken. The current initial idea is the "Android Hardware Alliance". It is not realistic to bring in software giants such as Tencent and Alibaba in the past life. Can you still expect him to take care of himself? It's no wonder!

The hardware manufacturers alliance jointly formulate rules, and it is a unified ban if it breaks apart!

Those monopoly giants in later generations are not as stable as Mount Tai, even on WeChat. If they really make a big fuss to the point of unified ban, Lingxi can arrange it immediately!

Even other software is not easy to develop when the functions are clarified, not to mention that there are various competitors on the market, and alternatives are the trump card.

Normal business transactions will avoid both sides of the situation. After the 3Q war a few years ago, the official also had regulations on such matters, and mutual compromise was the solution.

However, if you want to compromise with the rogue software, you have to clench it into a powerful fist.

The hardware manufacturer alliance is the first step, but this first step has been stuck for more than half a year.

Hardware manufacturers are competitors. Even if they have common interests first, they cannot really work together. Otherwise, they will not be able to end up giving Tencent money in their previous lives, so that they can optimize their own mobile phones. Even if you don’t give money, it will dare to negatively optimize you!

Definitely output from the face!

But Huawei is as powerful as Tencent, so she released a new mobile phone in the afternoon because she didn't give her money. She updated a famous mobile game that night. After the update, it happened. It happened that coincidentally, all Huawei phones began to stutter.

With Huawei's execution ability, it can be optimized immediately. If anyone else changes, it will be ruined.

Today, Tencent’s climate has become, and because Shen Chengli and the WeChat trademark were given, the relationship between the two companies is pretty good, but in the market, the interests are eternal.

It would be too late to wait until Tencent becomes a huge thing like that of later generations.

And if the official takes action, it will definitely be able to clean up. In the six or seven years before this, would you have to endure the exploitation of rogue software?

This matter is easy to say. If you really want to do it, you won’t be cheating in front of you, but a gap, which involves too many benefits. Moreover, several software manufacturers seem to hear the news and are also trying to win over and divide...

To put it bluntly, the official action is the most effective, but in these days, I don’t pay attention to it at all, just letting my wild growth be...

Fang Chang'an has been so angry that he has been aggravated by this matter during this period, and he still has to suppress his anger and let people communicate and negotiate slowly.

At the same time, he was preparing to visit the leader.

According to the time when Huawei was exposed in later generations, the "spare tire" plan that amazed the world when it was suppressed was already being prepared, including the Hongmeng system, but it was not called this name. According to a certain executive, until the release, the Hongmeng system was not called this name, but it was "named by the media". Later, everyone was rumored that Huawei simply used this name.

As far as Fang Chang'an knows, the "Hongmeng System" originally originated from a class photo sent by a graduate student. It was an introduction to assisting Huawei in developing the Hongmeng System. After that, the "Hongmeng System" was spread.

Anyway, if this system is there, there is no difference between calling it.

In the mobile phone market, Huawei will be the biggest rival of ancient poetry, but in other fields, there may not be no opportunities for cooperation, such as chips.

Although ancient poetry has also launched self-developed chips, the current plan is only related to mobile phones, while HiSilicon involves various fields. Knowing that the Sino-US trade war is a friend but not an enemy in the long run.

Moreover, there are too many baseband chip patents. Currently, the "Guiyi" chip is cooperating with Zhanrui. In addition, most of the chips are still purchased from Qualcomm. In terms of "deterrence" to Qualcomm, HiSilicon is undoubtedly stronger.

Huawei currently has a small role in the mobile phone market. There is no major conflict of interest between the two sides. Moreover, Huawei’s usual practice should have room for cooperation - this does not affect competition in the mobile phone field. Huawei has always had the ambition to become the first in its own field, and most of them have succeeded.

After deciding on the entourage, Fang Changan said to Zhang Yuanzhi, who was in charge of the "Zizhan Research Institute", "Brother Zhang, you have to be careful, Gui Er should be careful, Gui San is more important. No matter what, it is only two or ten years. When it comes to 15 years, we must use our own chips on flagship phones!"

"Once it is used, there is no reason to go back... If you lose, the loss will not be a mobile phone, but the rise and fall of our entire company."

Zhang Yuanzhi has been working diligently and hardworking in the past two years, but after half of his life's pursuit, he is finally on the road, and his spirit is completely different. Perhaps because of his good appetite and working overtime almost every day, he not only did not lose weight, but he himself said that he also gained seven or eight pounds.

However, although he was very motivated, he was more clear about the difficulties in it than anyone else than ever before. He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. We can iterate slowly..."

"No."

Fang Changan interrupted him and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, but if you invest so much money, if you still have to buy other people's chips at a high price, how can we spread the R&D funds?"

"We only have this way, no retreat."

As for why he had to use his own chips on flagship processors in 2015, he certainly couldn't tell the real reason.

Qualcomm's new flagship product in 2015 is the 810, which is the Snapdragon 810, also known as "Fire Dragon".

How to evaluate this chip? There is a joke on the Internet in later generations: Four of the five old international mobile phone manufacturers were killed by it...

Sony, lg, htc and moto were killed, and the only ones that were carried over was Samsung. Of course, this is a joke. The mobile phone businesses of Sony, lg and other four companies are already declining. Without the pit of Xiaolong 810, the ending may not change.

But Snapdragon 810 did have a great impact, or catalyzed the progress of many things, Xiaomi 5 was delayed for release, Sony, lg, htc and moto were completely eliminated, Kirin 950 entered the first echelon, Huawei overtook the curve, and sales surpassed Xiaomi...

Samsung can avoid the pit of Snapdragon 810 because it has its own processor. If it "will get into this pit" at that time, it is likely to repeat the competition between Xiaomi and Huawei.

Since this is the case, it is better to take this opportunity to "correct" the self-developed chips.

Xiaolong 810 was successfully developed in the second half of 2014 and started commercial use in the first half of 2015. It will continue to be released every year at the Double Ninth Festival. By then, the reputation of "Fire Dragon" must have spread, and the public opinion influence of using self-developed chips can be minimized.

Although the direction of self-developed chips has been determined, it is undoubtedly too risky to put them on flagship products. Therefore, Cheng Yuanrong, Tang Zhaoyu, and Luo Chenyu all raised objections, but Fang Changan insisted, and after all, it was not in front of him. Others still felt that this was a move to put pressure on Zhang Yuanzhi, and they did not continue to object and passed "unanimously".

After the meeting was disbanded, it was almost time to get off work. Fang Chang'an returned to the office and chatted with Wang Ke for a few words, and then prepared to ask Song Tang if he wanted to work overtime.

At this moment, Wang Ke suddenly sent him a message: "Have you seen the news?"

"What?" Fang Changan was puzzled.

"The graduate student who committed suicide by jumping off a building in Jiangcheng Science and Technology was Li Xiaoyi."

Fang Changan thought for a few seconds before connecting this somewhat unfamiliar name with a classmate in the past. When he met Shen Mo and Wang Ke, he already knew a very taciturn male classmate in Class 4, Grade 1.

Compared to him, what impressed him more was that his father lost gambling and blocked himself in front of the bank ATM. He was the closest time for his reborn person to "death".

Later, his father was sentenced to prison and received transformation. He also found a job for his mother at the bun shop through Teacher Cheng, which prevented him from dropping out of school because his family lost their financial resources.

Although he had not told the public these things, Li Xiaoyi seemed to have noticed it. In his later junior high school life, he seemed to have deliberately avoided himself and had almost never had any contact. He went to the county No. 1 Middle School in high school and almost cut off contact. He heard that he went to Wuhan to Wuhan, which is also a key university in 211...

Suicide?

Wang Ke sent another new message:

"I just told me that I only found out that it was on the news. It seems that there are also hot searches... He left a suicide note before jumping off the building, which mentioned you."

"What?"
To be continued...
