Rewrite the Technological Landscape

When Meng Qian participated in the show in Yanjing, what should have happened happened in the country of America.

On December 3, Intel CEO Paul Otellini left Qualcomm headquarters angrily, thinking more and more about it along the way, and lost his temper in the car.

If the promotion of WiMAX can be successful this time, Intel will definitely benefit a lot, but this is indeed due to the national will of the United States. Which country does not want to have the right to speak in communications, but even so, even if Paul really moved the national honor After it came out, Qualcomm still rejected Intel without hesitation as it did in its previous life.

Qualcomm's huge profits are earned by communication technology. Qualcomm's patent barriers, in terms of traditional communication technology, now that Intel wants to develop WiMAX, a fake communication technology, Qualcomm must not be happy. It has really developed WiMAX. Qualcomm Half of the professional barriers have been collapsed. If you can’t make money, you are still small. Without a monopoly, how can you play in this industry in the future? Look at Intel’s face? Don't even think about it.

Microsoft, Intel, and Qualcomm are known as the Big Three monopoly giants in the United States, so Qualcomm thinks about this very clearly. You are so happy to play monopoly. Now let me contribute to the righteousness of the country. Dedicate to your uncle, why don’t you go by yourself dedication.

In this way, Qualcomm not only rejected Paul face-to-face, but also made a high-profile statement in front of the media that Qualcomm would never support WiMAX, and even announced that Qualcomm's chips would not support WiMAX in the future.

Although Intel's management said in an interview shortly afterwards that they had a good relationship with Qualcomm, and it was not as stiff as everyone imagined, but the result of history is that Qualcomm has been firmly opposed to WiMAX from the beginning to the end, and Intel just wanted to It's just to save some public opinion face, but what's the use.

WiMAX chips are an important reason for the failure of WiMAX. Application chips with smaller size, lower cost, and lower power consumption have never been Intel's advantage. Intel has always focused on high-performance and high-profit fields. He came to complement him, but Qualcomm just rejected him, what should we do?

Just when Paul was worried about this, a piece of news appeared in front of him.

"Apple has confirmed to hold a new product launch event on January 9, and it is rumored that Dafeng Group will also launch similar products"

And in this article, Paul saw a sentence, "Judging from the current information, the new products of the two companies are undoubtedly mobile phones, and it is very likely that Dafeng Group has successfully developed an application that is more suitable for mobile phones." processor architecture."

"Gale Group. An application processor architecture that is more suitable for mobile phones." Paul watched the news, thought for a while, and then called a team over for a meeting.

Intel has a team dedicated to researching various competitors. In fact, most large companies have such a department. Paul called them over to learn more about the latest situation of the Dafeng Group, and by the way analyze the relationship between the Dafeng Group and himself.

The most important label of Dafeng Group is the sixth largest software company in the world and the largest software company in Asia. In the field of hardware, Dafeng Group is the best, and the biggest threat to Intel is the lithography machine. up.

Recently, the market reputation of computer cameras and other products has developed rapidly. In the semiconductor field, the company's logo is CMOS sensors.

As for the cell processor, in Intel's view, Dafeng Group is just an entrant, and the cell processor belongs to IBM.

However, the combination of the Kunlun system and the cell processor is indeed challenging the monopoly alliance between Microsoft and Intel, which is very annoying.

Looking at these situations, Paul has already resisted in his heart. He really can't accept the lithography machine in the hands of a Chinese company, and the challenge to his own monopoly is also something he can't bear. It's a bit nonsense to get it up.

But just when Paul wanted to give up the idea of ​​cooperation, he saw another thing. Dafeng Group is now the most influential enterprise in Huaxia, and even has a certain influence on Huaxia's decision-making. More importantly, Dafeng Group has great influence on China. WiMAX seems to be very friendly, and there is news recently that Dafeng Group has been engaged in WiMAX research and development before.

If it can rely on Dafeng Group to enter the Chinese market, it will be a huge temptation for Intel.

There are advantages and disadvantages, there are needs and resistances, Paul is very entangled, and with entanglements, there will naturally be dialogues. After all, when you don’t know what to do, talk first.

On December 10, Paul came to China again after his visit to China not long ago, and this time he came to China, Paul went straight to Dafeng Group.

"Mr. Paul has worked hard on the road, and the dinner is ready."

"Trouble Mr. Meng."

It happened to be dinner time when Paul arrived in Huaxia, and he didn't rest, so Meng Qian prepared dinner and took him directly to eat. The two had little contact with each other before, and Paul had a vigorous personality. As soon as the dishes were served, he started talking about business. "Does Dafeng Group think WiMAX has potential for development?"

"We have paid attention to WiMAX two years ago, and went to Korea last year to learn from it, because we have also invested a lot of research and development costs in LTE, so judging from the current research and development results, WiMAX has unlimited potential and is likely to change the entire world. Correspondence History."

Seeing Meng Qian's positive attitude, Paul took a step forward, "In this case, does Mr. Meng have any plans for WiMAX in the future?"

"To be honest, it's quite surprising to see Intel's promotion of WiMAX in the past few months. Since Mr. Paul visited in person today, I will not go around around the corner. Dafeng Group intends to enter WiMAX. I don't know what Mr. Paul thinks?"

Meng Qian directly made Paul confirm some things, but this confirmation will only make Paul more entangled, so Paul first responded with a positive attitude, "Gale Group has this willingness, and Intel naturally welcomes it."

Then, Paul immediately changed the topic, "But to be honest, we have been paying attention to Dafeng Group for a while. In fact, I came this time to talk about a more comprehensive cooperative relationship with Mr. Meng."

"How does Mr. Paul want to cooperate?"

"In fact, there is a lot of room for cooperation between Intel and Dafeng Group. Take lithography machines as an example. We all have our own advantages. In this case, why should we develop them separately? It is better to cooperate with each other to develop them together. So today I am actually On behalf of our US EUV Alliance, we would like to invite Mr. Meng to join."

What Paul said is very good, but once he joins the EUV alliance of the United States, all future research and development results will belong to the alliance. To put it bluntly, it is to let Dafeng Group give up its independent control and return to Intel. Naturally, Meng Qian responded very well. Simply put, "It is a great honor to be invited by Mr. Paul, but I think there is competition to develop. To be honest, once Dafeng Group joins the EUV Alliance of the United States, Neon Country will follow up in all likelihood. Then there is no competition in this field.

From the perspective of long-term development, this is not a good thing. It is better for everyone to continue to maintain a good competitive relationship and jointly promote the development of EUV technology and lithography machine technology. "

Paul understood what Meng Qian meant, so he didn't try to fight, and continued to change the subject, "I heard that Dafeng Group has developed a brand new chip architecture?"

Meng Qian made a embarrassed expression, "It is said that this matter is a secret of our Dafeng Group, but since Mr. Paul asked, I am willing to be honest with each other, it is true."

In fact, there is nothing to embarrass about this matter. It will be made public next month, and the outside world is full of news.

"Is it for the application processor?"

"It's aimed at our mobile phones." Meng Qian narrowed the scope.

"Is Mr. Meng interested in cooperating in this field? This is what Intel wants to do but lacks the energy to do. If Mr. Meng is willing, we can provide help, including talents and funds."

"It would be great if Intel had this idea." Meng Qian responded with a smile, but the next sentence made Paul almost black on the spot, "We don't lack talents and funds, but we lack markets and customers. If Intel is interested in cooperating, we can open up this market together."

If it wasn't because at the dinner table, Paul would have wanted to say FUCK, and then Paul tried several other fields, and the responses he got were basically the same.

The only thing Meng Qian gave a positive signal about is WiMAX.

Back at the hotel after the meal, Paul made a remote video call with several major shareholders of the company.

"What's Meng Qian's attitude here?"

"He is willing to cooperate in the R\u0026D and market layout of WiMAX, but in other fields, Meng Qian does not want to let it out at all."

"It's trading the market for technology again." In fact, China's routine of trading the market for technology in the 1980s and 1990s has actually been clearly understood by the United States in recent years.

"Actually, the core technology of WiMAX is relatively mature now, so there is no need to worry too much about what Dafeng Group will steal. What really needs to be worried about is Dafeng Group's original architecture."

"Paul, how much do you know about the structure of Dafeng Group?"

"I can't see it. I can only listen to Meng Qian's dictation. It should be something like ARM."

In fact, if the Gale Group is just a company that makes low-power and small-size chips, Intel will most likely cooperate with the Gale Group, because whether it is from the memoirs of Intel, Apple, or the memoirs of relevant witnesses, Apple will The reason why Intel refused to ask Intel to make mobile phone chips is indeed because it looks down on such things as mobile phone chips.

After all, in this day and age, even a mobile phone giant like Nokia doesn't make a high profit on mobile phone chips for a year, and Intel is too lazy to spend energy and money on arranging such a department.

So there is a company that can come out to make this type of chip, and it can also bring Intel to the Chinese market. Even if it drags Dafeng Group into this chip field, Intel is willing to do so. Anyway, it is a market that I don’t like. Although he will regret it in the future, that is in the future.

However, Dafeng Group is not just a chip company. The confrontation of lithography machines and the impact of the system on the Intel-Microsoft alliance, even the fab has started to be built this year, which will inevitably give Intel a lot of ideas.

When Intel was struggling, Meng Qian made a phone call to IBM's Samuel.

I finally straightened out the whole layout, and finally finished the preliminary layout. These days, I am going crazy. I took three days off and added a weekend to barely guarantee the update. In order to ensure the next story, I wrote 060708 The major IT events in the world in 2019 were broken into pieces, and Dafeng Group was added into the puzzle again. The key involved many professional knowledge points that I didn't understand before. (It took me 2 full days just to understand the WiMAX research). I really can’t help but want to complain about too many scribbled things in the current marketing account, and even the timeline is all wrong, similar to saying that WiMAX became the 3G standard in 2006, such a low-level mistake, and then a bunch of copies on the Internet In order to ensure the accuracy of the information and the accuracy of the timeline, I need to check far more information than I imagined. I am now in a half-crazy state. I will take another day off tomorrow to adjust my personal status, so Tomorrow may be updated earlier, I will go to bed after today's update, good night everyone~~
