Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Not long after, a partial R\u0026D list from the Gale Group appeared on the Internet.

The research and development cost of the iPhone 2G exposure is 150 million yuan. After all, the iPhone 2G has no independent chip, no independent screen, and no independent battery. The research and development is basically on the system and appearance, so it is not like Apple a few years later, which costs hundreds of dollars a year. billion, because once the chip is developed, it will be a bottomless pit.

So the iPhone 2G really didn’t cost Apple much, and the Dafeng Group disclosed the research and development expenses on the Hongmeng mobile phone. The research and development of the Hongmeng system cost 3.5 billion soft sister coins. This is not counting Meng Qian’s contribution to this system How much money was saved.

The research and development of the Hongmeng architecture cost almost 2 billion soft sister coins, which does not include the investment in the cell project. After all, the architecture draws a lot of convenience from the cell project.

Moreover, the 2 billion is only the cost of architecture research and development, which belongs to the work of software, and the research and development costs are basically spent on labor costs. The production of mobile phone chips is the one that burns the most money. According to the list given by Dafeng Group, The R\u0026D cost of 10 billion Ruanmei coins failed three times.

As for the Shanhai system, just like Microsoft, Dafeng Group also has a sufficient R\u0026D investment every year, with 3 billion and 2 billion soft sister coins respectively in the last two years.

The list of Dafeng Group did not clearly write down every item of research and development expenses. It just wrote down some of the main products and technology research and development, and then the netizens calculated the accounts. There is still a big gap in investment compared with companies like Microsoft and Intel, but if you consider the problem of labor costs, the gap is not that big.

Netizens paid more attention to R\u0026D expenses, and came to the conclusion that the success of Dafeng Group comes from R\u0026D.

However, those entrepreneurs who are also in business, the focus is not only on R\u0026D expenses, but on the utilization rate of R\u0026D funds of Dafeng Group. If you consider this issue, Dafeng Group is simply abnormal.

No matter how large a company is, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in decision-making every year. In fact, the proportion of wrong decisions is very high. no? The fact is that the bigger the company, the easier it is to spend money on failed projects. This is what Ma Yun meant when he said that spending money is more difficult than making money. This is true when a company is large enough.

Therefore, it is normal to invest 10 billion yuan in nothing, and there will be many long-term research and development projects, such as quantum technology, such as the breakthrough of semiconductors, which may cost 10 billion to 20 billion per year, but After five or six years, you may only see a little splash, which is normal.

Therefore, if a company spends 30 billion yuan a year on research and development, the R\u0026D investment that can really produce results may be 5 billion yuan. It is already very good to achieve this result, because the benefits brought by the successful R\u0026D of 5 billion yuan will often exceed 30 billion yuan. , is such a situation.

But when global entrepreneurs started to help Dafeng Group settle accounts, they suddenly found that something was wrong. Dafeng Group's sales were only 300 billion. How much money does it make a year? Even if he earns 100 billion, if he works on a few core projects, such as chips, systems, and LCD screens, tens of billions will go out, and he has to acquire and expand every year, so he doesn't have much money to do other things?

So what is the proportion of Gale Group's failed R\u0026D projects? Didn't fail? And why does Dafeng Group seem to be successful as long as it invests a lot of money in research and development projects? And it is an epoch-making product at every turn.

The Dafeng Group always seems to be able to spend money in the most correct direction. Damn it, this is completely incomprehensible.

It is a bit incomprehensible to normal entrepreneurs, unless the Dafeng Group has a strong ability to control the future, but it is still impossible for everyone to think in the direction that Meng Qian is a reborn, because it is too ridiculous. At this time, everyone My idea is that the real strength of Dafeng Group is in vision, or in other words, luck? Anyway, it's amazing.

Some media in the United States even directly called Dafeng Group a company with mysterious oriental power

As this kind of public opinion began to ferment, more and more entrepreneurs, investors, and even politicians began to be interested in Meng Qian and Dafeng Group. In many cases, the more mysterious the more interesting.

Who doesn't care about a company that can control the future direction and pay attention to research and development.

And as Dafeng Group became popular again because of its research and development, some people realized another thing.

For example, in Yanjing at this time, Zhang Shuxin and Ma Yun were discussing cooperation. The two watched the online reports about Dafeng Group. Zhang Shuxin couldn't help but said, "Do you feel that Meng Qian has changed since the second half of last year. "

"You feel it too." Ma Yun asked a rhetorical question to show that he was also aware of this problem.

The two looked at each other and said together, "Meng Qian is deliberately high-profile."

After confirming that the other party was thinking the same as him, Zhang Shuxin couldn't help raising his own doubts, "Meng Qian has been trying to keep a low profile before, and has always been the biggest supporter of the domestic policy of keeping a low profile, but why did he suddenly change his attitude so obviously?" Strategy, is the current Dafeng Group really good enough to fight against the US technology giants? I’m afraid it’s still not enough?”

Ma Yun answered this question very seriously, "Do you still remember Meng Qian's performance in Davos? I thought it was very strange at the time. I heard that Meng Qian had a direct fight with Jobs. Later, I was also out of curiosity. Discussing this issue with Li Qi, we think that the Dafeng Group is not strong enough to fight against the West, but the Dafeng Group can’t hide anymore.”

"What does Mr. Ma mean?"

"I have used the Hongmeng mobile phone for a while. This product may really trigger a product revolution in the true sense, and this mobile phone involves the system, chip, and even the establishment of a new standard. This should have already been touched. Is it the bottom line of the United States?"

Zhang Shuxin nodded subconsciously, "In other words, Dafeng Group is destined to be targeted."

"Yeah, low-key or low-key, you have to face it anyway, so it's better to be high-key. The full-scale confrontation between the Dafeng Group and the international giants, especially the international giants in the United States, has probably quietly begun."

Zhang Shuxin suddenly laughed at himself, "If you think about it this way, we seem to have missed Meng Qian's footsteps."

"Ying Haiwei has a search engine, and Ali really lacks core technology. The company was discussing this issue at the annual meeting last year. Then at the end of last year, I went to Dafeng Group to have a good chat with Meng Qian, including some scientists from their company. After a dialogue, we decided to invest a certain amount of research and development expenses every year from 2007 onwards.”

Zhang Shuxin showed doubts, "Although Taobao's valuation has risen sharply in the past two years, Taobao has been supported by burning money all the way, which is not really profitable. If it invests in research and development without making a profit, the investor Can you agree?"

Ma Yun gave Zhang Shuxin a stupid look, "Taobao's major shareholder is Dafeng Group."

"Hahaha." Zhang Shuxin laughed, "I forgot about this, so it's no wonder. According to your personality, you should give the R\u0026D center a name, right?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. Meng Qian thought of one called Bodhidharma Academy. I personally like it, but Li Qi and the others seem to think it's a bit ugly. But..."

Noticing that Ma Yun had something in his heart, Zhang Shuxin asked, "What's wrong?"

"When I went to Dafeng Group, I met a scientist named Wang Jian. I chatted with him for a long time. I don't know why. I always felt that he should belong to Ali. I wanted to poach him, but when I went to Dafeng The group is poaching people."

"Hey, what's the matter, everyone's friends are friends, and competition is competition. Isn't that what Meng Qian said. As long as it's a healthy competition, there's nothing to worry about. Some employees really make people feel that they are very close. I understand you." With this kind of mood, dig as soon as you need to dig, what do young people say now, as long as you swing your hoe well, you can't dig down without walls!"

Ma Yun's eyes became firmer by two points, "That's right, dig it if you need to!"
