Chapter 1056 Rewrite the Rules of the Game!
Behind the scenes of the venue.
Looking at the staff who were busy preparing, Wang Zhengfei suddenly said with a smile.
"I heard you got a journal recently?"
Lu Zhou nodded.
"Um."
"It's called "Future", it's a good name." Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, "When the engineers of our R&D department held a meeting a few days ago, I also said at the meeting, whoever can be published in the main issue of "Future" I have submitted one article and one work, and I will reward him with 500,000 yuan personally!"
Speaking of this, Wang Zhengfei paused for a moment, then joked and continued, "You must be stricter in reviewing manuscripts. If you don't strictly control this, I don't even have enough money in my pocket to pay bonuses. I'm looking for you."
"You don't have to worry about this," Lu Zhou said with a faint smile, "Only the research results that are outstanding enough are eligible to be published in the main journal, such as Professor Wu Tianqun's paper on carbon-based chips. If it's just integrated circuit design... I still recommend submitting to sub-journals of electronics."
Hearing this sentence, Wang Zhengfei shook his head with a smile and said, "Your...standards are too exaggerated, and a technology that disrupts the industry may not be produced in more than ten years."
Lu Zhou: "Just in terms of importance, I didn't say that it will definitely disrupt the industry. What's more, the papers we collect cover so many fields, and we can always come across a few outstanding research results."
Among other things, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study alone has many projects that meet the expectations of the Lu Zhou Center.
In the past, these research units contributed to top journals such as "Nature" and "Science". Now that "Future" already exists, it naturally has a higher priority.
As for whether other people contributed, Lu Zhou didn't really care much about it.
After all, this journal was originally created for his own Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was soon approaching the opening time of the report meeting.
Looking at the clock on the wall, Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"In 15 minutes, our product launch will begin. This is a good opportunity to show your face in front of the media all over the world. Are you really going to say a few words?"
Lu Zhou shook his head and said.
"Not interested."
Wang Zhengfei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said.
"I forgot, scholars like you don't lack the opportunity to show their faces once or twice."
Lu Zhou sighed and said with a helpless expression.
"Actually, it's very troublesome, okay? I hope that this kind of opportunity will be less. Compared with my external and personal life, I hope that those boring people can focus more on the problems I solve. "
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. There are not many people in the world who can understand what you study," Wang Zhengfei patted his thigh and stood up from the chair with a smile, "That's okay, this time Let's just be a listener with peace of mind."
Standing up together, Lu Zhou asked curiously.
"Aren't you going to speak?"
"I can't say it well," Wang Zhengfei smiled and waved his hands, "We have a dedicated product strategy officer, not to mention my personal image, I'm an old man, I'm afraid I'm not very pleasing, this kind of thing should be left to young people with active thinking It's better to talk."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.
Although compared to his handsome image, he still hopes that others will pay more attention to his inner self.
But to be praised so much in person, it really feels a little embarrassing.
While the two were talking, at this moment, a young man in a suit opened the door and walked in from the outside.
Glancing at the enthusiastic young man walking towards him from the door, Wang Zhengfei then looked at Lu Zhou and said with a smile.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Shao Yi, our chief product strategy officer."
"Hello, Academician Lu, I have been admiring your name for a long time!" The young man in his twenties and thirties said with a sincere smile, shaking Lu Zhou's hand excitedly, "You can call me Xiao Shao or Xiao Yi. gone."
After shaking hands with him and letting go, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Let's call him Brother Shao."
"Our Academician Lu is rather shy, so he's embarrassed to call you that." Walking to the side, Wang Zhengfei patted the young man on the shoulder with a smile, and gave him an encouraging look, "Are you ready?"
Upon hearing this question, the young man immediately stood at attention.
"Ready!"
"Well, the momentum is good," looking at his firm gaze, Wang Zhengfei nodded and said, "Then go."
...
The product launch event was held at the International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Looking over the crowded convention center, looking at the meta100 series mobile phones playing on the big screen, Swan couldn't help frowning.
The same was true for Mayberry standing next to him, his brows were furrowed and he muttered something.
"Are they doing a product launch event, or are they doing an exhibition?"
"have no idea……"
For some reason, looking at the concept model displayed on the counter, even though he knew that it was probably just a shell, Swan felt a vague feeling in his heart.
It's just that he is not particularly clear about where this bad feeling comes from.
Maybe it's because I'm a little tired after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and put this strange feeling behind him.
With a confident smile on his face, he politely presented the invitation letter in his hand to the staff and explained his purpose of coming.
In any case, this is on the enemy's territory. Although he knows that Huawei probably wants to pass this press conference and give them a new Mawei, he still has to maintain his basic demeanor.
After confirming the content on the invitation letter, the staff immediately took the two of them to the special channel, passed through the security check procedure and entered the core area of the convention center.
"The press conference is in Hall 1, and it's about to start. The two seats are in the VIP seats. You can see them when you walk straight through the door."
"Okay," nodded to the staff, Swan winked at Mayberry, and then led him towards Hall 1.
Because of the delay on the road, when the two arrived at the press conference, the press conference had already started.
But looking at the content on the screen, it doesn't look like it's been too long.
Standing on the stage was a very energetic young man, probably a role similar to a product manager.
Not to Swan's surprise, Warwick arrived almost as scheduled and played the card of carbon-based chips at the press conference, causing the invited media and participants to scream.
Although he was also surprised in his heart, he had already seen it once at the International Integrated Circuit Design and Technology Summit, and he definitely didn't have any more feelings about it.
Even, I felt a little bored.
This time he brought the CTO to Huaguo Shanghai for a special trip, not to see Warwick's fried rice, nor did he come to make a fuss with a group of people who had never seen the world.
Just when he couldn't help yawning, and began to wonder if this trip was wasted, the picture on the curtain suddenly changed, causing him to squint his eyes and cheer up again.
At the same time, the young man standing on the stage, after introducing the performance parameters of the Longteng-1 chip listed in the paper and the boring technical details, also suddenly changed his style and continued to talk.
"In fact, many people think that our chips will be very expensive, not affordable for ordinary people, and the fields of application are also limited."
"I admit that the cost of carbon-based chips is indeed a little higher than that of traditional silicon-based chips. This is a question of the price of the material itself, and a question of whether the industrialization is mature or not."
"For an emerging industry, both of these points are inevitable. Just like when the computer was first invented, the concept of PC did not exist at that time, because the price of a computer was simply not affordable for individual users started."
"But in this world, there has never been any problem that is absolute. I believe that these two problems can be solved in production practice."
With that said, Shao Yi turned his head to look at the big screen, and pressed the electronic pen in his hand.
The picture on the screen scattered like fragments, and what was presented to everyone was a black phone with a mysterious charm.
"mete100."
There were bursts of commotion from the audience.
Shao Yi continued.
"I believe that you have already seen it when you entered the convention and exhibition center."
"This time, what we broke through is not the camera or the appearance design, but the core area of the electronics industry - the chip itself."
"Compared with the meta series mobile phones using traditional silicon-based chips, the mete100 using the Longteng 1 series chips will reduce the thickness by 1mm and reduce the weight by 13%."
"And all of this without sacrificing phone performance...or even revolutionizing phone performance!"
The moment they heard these words, almost everyone present, including the two Intel executives, Swan and Mayberry, showed astonished expressions on their faces without exception.
The thickness of the mobile phone is reduced by 1mm!
Without sacrificing the performance of the phone itself! ?
"How can this be!"
Involuntarily venting the shock in his heart, Mayberry, whose face was full of shock, suddenly thought of something, lowered his head and whispered, "No, not necessarily... Maybe it's really possible."
The heat dissipation of carbon-based chips!
And the highest power consumption of 20w!
The heat dissipation problem is a difficult problem for any microelectronic device. Generally speaking, the major manufacturers solve the heat dissipation problem of mobile phones by installing a graphite heat conduction sheet under the processor, or by adding heat dissipation gel. Plus PC-level heat dissipation technology - heat pipe.
However, these designs are purely redundant in front of carbon-based chips.
Even if the low power consumption characteristics of carbon-based chips are not considered, its own physical properties determine that it no longer needs to rely on the power of other materials to carry excess heat energy like traditional silicon-based semiconductors.
As if answering the question he blurted out, Shao Yi smiled and spoke.
"Here we have to thank the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and the Microelectronics Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As I said at the beginning, the impact of carbon-based chips on the entire electronics industry will be subversive!"
"It's not just the chip itself. With the support of the excellent physical properties of carbon materials, our engineers can have a broader imagination without having to make a difficult trade-off between performance and space."
"The combination of Longteng series chips and mete100 is not just as simple as 1+1=2, but 1+1=n!"
Looking at the already boiling meeting place, the young chief product strategy officer smiled slightly, adding fire to the boiling atmosphere.
"Here, on behalf of our Huawei Group, I can issue a military order to you all!"
"Within three years, we will apply the chips of the Longteng series to Huawei's full range of low-, medium- and high-end mobile phones, so that our chip technology will be completely updated!"
"Even not just mobile phones, including our router business, and all 1+8+N services that use mobile phones as the entrance, will be updated in all aspects, plugging in the wings of the new era!"
The rhythm of the screen projected on the curtain has obviously accelerated.
What was presented to all the audience at the venue was not only the mete100 series concept phones, but also a series of pan-IoT hardware including tablets, PCs, smart wearables, and even lighting, security, environment, cleaning, etc.
With the support of 5G technology, all smart devices will be connected as a whole.
The emergence of carbon-based chips has given all this the wings of imagination.
The astonishment in his ears had gradually faded away. Seeing everything flashing across the curtain, Swann's pupils almost shrank into a single point.
There was a rare trace of panic written on that calm face.
He finally knew why they were so confident.
Their real trump card is not carbon-based chips at all!
It is a complete industrial chain from mobile phones to PCs, from individual users to collective users built around carbon-based chips!
The index finger trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, he finally felt a trace of fear.
Whether it is Intel, Qualcomm or ADM, the reason why these traditional semiconductor giants can override the anti-monopoly law and do whatever they want downstream of the entire industrial chain through a loose alliance is nothing more than the ecology of the entire industry. are built around them.
Regardless of the ups and downs of the downstream industries, as long as the ecology they have spent decades building still exists, as long as the world does not regress back to primitive society, then they can stand at the top of the pyramid and watch the changes under the pyramid with a smile.
And now, Huawei is building a brand new ecology...
There is no place for them in this ecological chain, and every tentacles extending outward in this chain can replace them, or even replace those downstream partners who are crawling under them.
These people are not lions, not even hunters with guns...
From the very beginning, they didn't intend to fight against giants like themselves standing in the industry chain.
What they are really doing is rewriting the rules of the game...
