At present, there is no very powerful professional image processing chip.
In his previous life, Sony began launching the X1 image processing chip in 2015.
Through optimization of color, contrast, clarity and other aspects, Sony TV's picture quality has reached a new level and led a new era of TV picture quality.
Now, Wang Yi can make arrangements in advance and develop an X1 image processing chip in advance.
Compared with Sony, Xingyi Semiconductor has richer experience and more soldiers and a wide range of generals. It can be done in advance.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi called George directly: "George, next engineers dug from Qualcomm, screened out some of them, formed a TV chip department, and together with Xingyi TV, to develop a professional image processing chip!
”
"Okay, Chairman, I'll make arrangements now." George responded quickly.
He knew that Xingyi TV's strategic position in Xingyi Technology is constantly improving, and now it uses castrated mobile phone chips.
It is natural to develop a special image processing chip for TVs.
To do this, people from other departments had to be dispatched to form a team to influence the research and development of other chips.
Now, it’s just right to use the people who have been poached from Qualcomm to form a new team!
Other departments will not be affected.
Wang Yi was relieved to leave this matter to George, but he fell into deep thought.
Although Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TV are all popular on the Internet, we have to prepare for the future.
In recent years, it is still in the early stage of smartphones. Xingyi Technology, Apple, Samsung, and other giants can easily maintain absolute technological advantages and can significantly lead brands such as Meimi OV.
But what about a few years later?
In a few years, this advantage will be greatly reduced!
Whether it is mobile phones or TVs, the competition in the future will only become increasingly fierce.
Especially in ten years, even Apple's flagships may be critically hit by the Redmi K series in many ways.
This is not alarmist, but an actual experience.
One year in his previous life, Wang Yi returned to his hometown for the New Year and met his cousin to visit him, intending to play "Peace Elite".
Both of them don’t play for a long time, and Wang Yi’s 15PM “Peace Elite” needs to be updated with 8 G.
My cousin’s Redmi K70 has not been downloaded, so I need to download 2G+update 8 Gs, a total of 10 Gs.
Wang Yi started downloading first, and the internet speed reached 20M+. But when my cousin’s Redmi K70 was first downloaded, Wang Yi’s 15PM network speed dropped to 3-7M.
However, the internet speed of my cousin Redmi K70 remains at 15-20M!
The gap is so big.
Until my cousin downloaded two Gs and started installing, Wang Yi's internet speed returned to 20M.
When my cousin's installation was completed and the update package was downloaded, Wang Yi's network speed dropped to 3-7M again, while my cousin's still 15-20M.
In the end, my cousin downloaded + update, a total of 10 Gs were over, and they all entered the game. Wang Yi's 8 G updates were downloaded and the installation began.
It would be fine if the call signal of the iPhone is not bad, but the speed of wifi is so bad.
It would be fine if you couldn’t snatch Huawei and Xiaomi, but you couldn’t even snatch the Redmi K70 released in the same year!
What’s even more terrible is that 15PM 9999 and Redmi K70 are only more than 2,000.
At that time, Wang Yi didn't know what to say.
I took two mobile phones and looked at them carefully. 15PM is thick and heavy, it is simply industrial garbage. It is tiring to hold it. The battery capacity is more than 4,000 mAh, and the charging speed is still low. Only up to 30 watts. Once the battery is healthy and low, the mobile phone
Change the card and replace the battery with a few hundred yuan.
The Redmi K70 is not only lighter, but also has a large 5000mAh battery and 120W fast charging...
Moreover, when playing games, 15PM has no outstanding advantages in terms of frame rate or display effect. In summer, the heat may be a little more powerful.
Of course, 15PM is much better to take photos, but there is little advantage in other aspects, and in some aspects it is not a match for Redmi.
Especially the weight of the 221g body is really too burdensome. I will be tired after reading novels for a long time.
From that moment on, Wang Yi knew that the iPhone was really not good.
In terms of actual experience, 15PM can be used as Redmi, and it is hard to describe the flagship phones of Huawei and Xiaomi.
We can only rely on brand and belief to make the final struggle, but we can't struggle for long.
There is no way, this is how mobile phones will be rolled in the future.
You can only do better and achieve core advantages that other brands cannot do, otherwise the iPhone will be beaten by the Redmi K series.
Similarly, the same is true for Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi TV.
If there is no continuous breakthrough and continuous lead, and the competitors will catch up with it, there will be brand bonuses in a short period of time.
But over time, it will be useless.
Brands and beliefs, which have a shelf life, will not always exist.
It must have absolute core competitiveness.
For example, Sony TV's X1 series image processing chips and training technology make Sony TV's picture quality much higher than that of its competitors' TVs. This is the core advantage and core competitiveness.
Even screens of the same level, or even higher-level screens, are not as good as Sony's processor and tuning technology, and the actual effect is far inferior.
Once Xingyi Technology develops such a chip, Xingyi TV will also stand out!
You can use the current BOE screen to play Sharp Samsung flagship screen.
Using Sharp flagship screen can better beat Sharp Samsung and LG flagship screens of the same grade.
This core technology can become the moat of Xingyi TV in the future and must be developed!
And as soon as possible!
But where is the future core technology of Xingyi Mobile?
Wang Yi thought about it carefully and found that super signal is one aspect, but not enough. Except for Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi and other signals are all very strong.
The rest is that the XOS system is constantly powerful, which is not enough.
Then there is only the most core performance!
And screen technology!
Self-developed instruction set, self-developed architecture, ensuring absolute leading performance + absolute leading system + screen technology advantages. Only in this way can Xingyi mobile phones maintain high-end positioning and sell for ten thousand people to buy.
If it is like the iPhone 15 pm, which costs tens of thousands of yuan, it can't beat the Redmi K70 with more than two points, then who will buy an iPhone in the future?
At least 15 people have bought this group of people and will change their phones in three or four years. There is a high probability that they will no longer consider iPhone.
Unless you don’t have enough internet speed, you can be one step slower when paying your bills.
But if you do too much such things, people will no longer take you to play with you in the future.
…………
With Franz Quentin, the new personnel director of Qualcomm, personally released the money, Xingyi Semiconductor's progress in poaching people was not ordinary.
Especially after Wang Yi let go of his hands and feet, he was poaching faster.
There is no way. Even if Franz Quentin hides this, the others are not blind. It will probably not take long to discover it.
What Wang Yi can do is to let Xingyi International take advantage of this opportunity to poach as many people as possible!
Sure enough, within a few days, someone discovered something was wrong.
This person is Bonnie Neal, a manager of Qualcomm's human resources department. He thought something was wrong before, but he thought it was Franz Quentin who was carrying the layoffs on his back and had not completed it yet, so he didn't think much about it.
But now, there are people in the chip R&D department that keep resigning, and many are still core positions!
This made Bonnie Neal feel even more and more wrong. Even if the layoffs are not completed, there will not be so many.
There will be no need for core R&D job layoffs!
This is not right!
After thinking about it again and again, Bonnie Neal quickly approached Franz Quentin and couldn't help saying:
"Director, look at these resignation applications, are there any problems? At their level, they are all in the core R&D position. In theory, they should sign a competition agreement."
Franz Quentin's heart skipped a beat. This guy was indeed not simple, but he still found the problem.
But he still waved his hand: "Oh, you make sense. But the problem is that if you sign a competitor agreement, you have to compensate. You are also aware of Qualcomm's situation now. Sales volume is halved and profits are reduced by 70%. The entire group is
If you lay off employees and get paid, how can you compensate them?”
"This..." Bonnie Neal was speechless for a moment, but could not refute it.
Although it sounds a little wrong, I don't know what it makes sense.
This is the moment, that is the moment.
All layoffs and salary cuts, but they are indeed poor.
But he still felt something was wrong and quickly found a few resumes:
"Director, what you said makes sense. It would be fine if those people don't sign in order to reduce their expenses for the company. But what about Ryder Gray and the others?"
"They are not ordinary core R&D positions, especially Ride Gray, who are involved in the research and development of GPU architectures. For such an important position, no matter how poor our company is, we have to sign a competition agreement, right?"
'Fake! This guy is not easy to fool!' Franz Quentin made a reservation in his heart, but he grabbed Bonnie Neal's shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother, you're right, in theory, that's what you should do
But the situation is better than people.”
"As the vice president of the group, no one knows better than me about Qualcomm's current situation. It's actually more difficult than what you see."
"If we continue to develop with this momentum, it is a problem whether our salary can be paid!"
"This..." Bonnie Neal's expression changed drastically. He could not have imagined that Qualcomm was so far away!
Seeing that the other party believed it, Franz Quentin continued to fool him: "To be honest, originally only planned to lay off 30% of the employees this time, and wait for the second layoff in the year to lay off another 15%. But now, the profit decline is too serious
, I can only increase my investment, and I will lay off 45% of the first layoffs. As for the second time after the year...ah!"
Franz Quentin was only half of his words, but Bonnie Neal was sweating coldly: "There is a second layoff?"
Franz Quentin looked at Bonnie Neal with a look of a fool: "Nonsense, unless our Qualcomm's performance is raised and we return to the peak, there will be no second layoffs. If we can't,
I can only continue to lay off employees!”
"This..." Bonnie Neal was shocked and could no longer care about not signing the competition agreement and was not standardized. Instead, he began to worry about whether he would be laid off for the second layoff!
I can't even care about it, so how can I have the energy to care about Qualcomm?
Franz Quentin laughed in his heart and continued: "There is no way, this is the situation now. Only by doing our best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure can we reduce the number and range of subsequent layoffs and protect ourselves as much as possible."
"Like Ride Gray and others, like you mentioned, are core R&D positions, and their income is very high. If they sign a competition agreement, how much does it cost?"
"All this money is spent. At that time, the senior management will investigate and take our Human Resources Department to conduct surgery. At that time...you..."
Franz Quentin glanced at Bonnie Neal with a complicated look.
Bonnie Neal's face turned pale and he hurriedly said, "Director, I'm fine, just pretend I haven't been here today."
Franz Quentin nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. Sometimes when it's time to be muddy, it's muddy. If you pursue this, it will be a mistake at most, and it will be a mistake that saves the company money. There will be no too much
Big consequences.”
"But at this critical moment, the entire group is increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. We also sign a competitive agreement in a straightforward manner and spend a lot of money, so it is easy to be targeted. Once targeted, then..."
“That will be optimized!”
Bonnie Neal was frightened and hurriedly said, "Director, I understand. Thank you for your guidance. Next, I will cooperate with you."
"Yeah, go."
Seeing Bonnie Neal leave, Franz Quentin breathed a sigh of relief: "I fooled another one away, I don't know how long it will last."
‘Fortunately, Xingyi Semiconductor has accelerated its poaching speed, which is a good thing.’
But the good times didn't last long, and five days later, the story broke out.
The person who discovered this incident this time was Honey Nelson, director of R&D at Qualcomm!
In order to speed up the research and development of Snapdragon 810, he was preparing to gather elite troops to overcome difficulties personally, and named several powerful generals to develop together.
Unexpectedly, all of these people have resigned!
This shocked Honey Nelson!
These people are all senior R&D engineers at Qualcomm. Although they are not project managers, they are all backbones.
In time, you can be the only one who can become a project manager and have the potential to become a president in the future.
The previous Snapdragon 800 was developed by these people.
But now, he has resigned!
And as the director, he didn't even know!
how so?
Logically speaking, shouldn’t the Human Resources Department notify him of the R&D director for resigning at this level?
Why is there no news?
But Honey Nelson was not impulsive, instead, he immediately began to investigate the entire incident.
If you don’t check the results, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.
There are not many R&D engineers who have recently left, and many of them are the most core positions!
More importantly, these people didn’t even sign a competition agreement!
This is not right, it is completely wrong!
Honey Nelson instantly realized that the matter was a big deal: "Damn, these people left after layoffs, which made us careless and mistakenly thought it was the normal flow of layoffs. But I didn't expect that those who left were all core R&D positions!"
"Damn it!"
"Fake!"
"There is a problem with the Human Resources Department!"
"Unfortunately, they can't make such mistakes unless..."
"By the way, the current director of the Human Resources Department is Franz Quentin!"
"Farke! It's probably Franz Quentin that made these things!"
"Fake!"
"This idiot has resigned our capable generals."
"Fake!"
Honey Nelson was furious, but did not argue with Franz Quentin.
Instead, he rushed to the chairman's office in anger.
He has a similar status as Franz Quentin. Although Franz Quentin fell out of favor, he is also the director of personnel. If you want to defeat the other party, it is the easiest thing for the chairman to take action.
"Chairman, Chairman! Something big happened!"
As soon as he entered the door, Honey Nelson shouted loudly.
"What's wrong? I'm so anxious?" Jacob frowned slightly.
"Chairman, our Qualcomm R&D engineers have recently left a large number of jobs, especially many core R&D engineers have left!"
"Even Ryder Gray and Jane Isaac, the core engineers involved in the development of GPU architecture, have left!"
"What! Ryder Gray and Jane Isaac are both leaving!"
Jacob's expression changed drastically and he was completely in a bad mood. These two men were strong and knew each other as the chairman and had invited them to dinner many times.
Now he has resigned!
And he didn't know at all!
how so?
"Fake! How could such a core R&D backbone resign? Who told him to leave? Even if they resign, we can't agree!"
Jacob was furious.
"Yes, whether it is promotion and salary increase to retain it or threatening with a competition agreement, they must be kept, and they must not be allowed to leave easily!"
Honey Nelson also said: "But the problem is that the idiots in the Human Resources Department actually let the person go directly, and they didn't even sign the competition agreement!"
"And not only Ryder Gray and Jane Isaac, but also many other core R&D engineers and senior engineers have also left the company during this period."
"You mean, something went wrong with the Human Resources Department? Did it intentionally?"
Jacob instantly grasped the key.
Honey Nelson nodded: "It is very likely that if there were no big problems, they would do things according to the rules and regulations, how could this be the case?"
"Human Affairs Department, Human Affairs Department..." Jacob murmured: "Human Affairs Department is all old HR, so you won't be unfamiliar with these basic operations."
Honey Nelson sighed: "The Human Resources Department is an old HR, but the Human Resources Department Director is not."
"Franz Quentin Farke!" Jacob's face changed drastically, and he was completely dissatisfied: "You mean, Franz Quentin did it? He was ill-intentioned?"
"I don't know if it's ill-intentioned. But the resignation approval of these people was approved by Franz Quentin, and the approval process was not in compliance with the rules, and he let it go. In addition, Chairman, you know these people are concentrated
Where did you go after you leave?"
"Where did you go?" Jacob couldn't help asking, "Intel? No, Intel's mobile chips are almost done. Could it be MediaTek?"
"No, they all went to Xiaguo, and they are likely to join Xingyi Semiconductor."
"What?" Jacob was shocked and felt that the sky had collapsed:
"The core R&D engineers resigned from Qualcomm and joined Xingyi Semiconductor. This was poached by Xingyi Semiconductor. And Franz Quentin illegally approved it. Could it be that he is really an undercover agent sent by Xingyi Technology?"
"At least from the perspective of facts, it is very likely!" Honey Nelson spread his hands: "The few capable players I value the most were approved by him to resign and went to Xingyi Semiconductor!"
"Fake!"
"Fake!"
"Someone said before that something was wrong with Franz Quentin, but I don't believe it. Now, this guy has a big problem, very big!"
Jacob was furious: "Call Franz Quentin immediately and arrange for someone to investigate this matter, and see if Franz Quentin and Xingyi Technology people have contact with them, and if they have any
contacts!"
"If I find something out, Franz Quentin will spend the rest of his life in prison!"
"Yes!" Honey Nelson responded quickly, feeling very good.
They are all vice presidents and want to be Qualcomm's next successor.
Previously, Franz Quentin was valued by Jacob and trained as the next successor. Vice Presidents such as Honey Nelson were very resentful.
Now that Franz Quentin is about to be in a state of chaos, Honey Nelson and others are eager to step on a few steps and put down the wrong ones.
Soon, Franz Quentin came to the chairman's office and understood what was going on, but he still said as if nothing had happened: "Chairman, please come to me."
"Bang!" Jacob threw a stack of resumes on the table: "Look at the good things you did."
Franz Quentin flipped over and said calmly: "Chairman, I approved it when they applied for resignation. Is there any problem? Aren't we going to lay off employees?"
Jacob seemed to have eaten a fly: "..."
"What's the problem?" Jacob's face turned pale: "It's fine for others, it's fine for ordinary R&D engineers to approve it. Why do those extremely important core R&D engineers have to approve it?"
"Extremely important core R&D engineer? Who?" Franz Quentin began to pretend to be stupid.
"Don't you know?" Jacob laughed so much that he pretended to me!
Franz Quentin said innocently: "Chairman, I came here and didn't know much about the specific personnel in the R&D department. This is normal? After all, what I was responsible for before was the strategic direction and market of the chip business.
I’m not familiar with the specific personnel of the R&D department.”
Jacob's mouth twitched: "..."
OK, really OK!
Franz Quentin just said bluntly, "I'm airborne, I'm not familiar with it, it's normal for problems to happen?"
So shameless.
"I don't know, okay, very good, you're very good!"
Jacob spoke in a deep voice: "Don't let me catch the handle, otherwise I will let you go with it!"
"Chairman, what are my handles?" Franz Quentin frowned: "What did I do? If the chairman can't tolerate me, I can leave, but I can't slander me. I have worked at Qualcomm for many years,
It has opened up many major customers for Qualcomm and won many big orders, which is considered to be a great contribution.”
"It's really sad for the chairman to slander me like this!"
"It's better not to do this job!"
"I'm quitting now!"
"I also ask the chairman for approval!"
As he said that, Franz Quentin pulled off the work card and slapped it on the table.
Jacob's mouth twitched, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether this person was really angry or deliberately slandered him.
But he still said: "You want to resign, there is no problem. The compensation you should give to you will also be given to you. The premise is that I don't find anything, otherwise you will be in prison in the next life!"
Franz Quentin smiled faintly: "I am not afraid of being slanted. Chairman, even if I have any problems, I will accept whatever you do."
After saying that, Franz Quentin turned around and left, and returned to the Human Resources Department to complete the resignation procedures.
Chapter completed!
