Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

However, Motorola's glory is in the era of 1G communication technology.

After the emergence of 2G communication technology, Nokia became the overlord of the times.

But despite this, Motorola lost to Nokia in the 2G era, but after all, there are still some backgrounds.

For the moment he still looks strong, still a world-class leader.

"Motorola may not be able to compete with Nokia, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and they are still very strong in mobile communications."

Although Ren Zhengfei is unhappy with Motorola, Ren Zhengfei is also an extremely rational person.

It's just that Chen Yu didn't agree with what Ren Zhengfei said.

"Mr. Ren, in the field of communication and electronics, I don't agree with the view that a thin camel is bigger than a horse. In fact, whether it is communication or electronic business, once he is not accepted by the public, he is likely to die. The birth of 1G, Let Motorola become the overlord. The emergence of 2G technology made Nokia come from behind. After 3G..."

Take the history of global mobile phones.

If I really want to say it, it’s not that a certain mobile phone changed the world.

It was a certain communication standard that changed the world.

Of course, a good mobile phone can also promote the popularity of communication standards.

"3G."

Ren Zhengfei is indeed also studying the issue of 3G.

The 3G standard has already appeared at present.

Although it has not started in China, 3G licenses have been issued abroad.

However, 3G is still a new thing for the world. For the time being, the influence of 3G on the world does not have the appearance of 1G, and the influence brought by the appearance of 2G communication standards is more profound.

Many people generally believe that 3G is just faster than 2G in terms of information dissemination.

But he has not changed qualitatively.

At least the influence of 3G is not as great as that of 1G and 2G.

After all, after 1G appeared, he gave birth to mobile phones.

After the emergence of 2G, he let mobile phones enter thousands of households.

What about after the emergence of 3G?

After the emergence of 3G, it seems that there are not many changes in the world.

At most, there are a few relatively high-end mobile phones, that's all.

This is not just what ordinary people think, it is also the consensus of many people in the industry.

"3G has not brought much change to our lives at present, and we have been thinking about this issue. It may take time. After all, everyone's understanding of 3G is not very deep. Mr. Chen, do you think 3G will give What do we bring?"

"I think Nokia and Motorola are going to go bankrupt after 3G."

"Nokia and Motorola going bankrupt?"

Ren Zhengfei was dumbfounded.

It was the first time he heard such crazy words.

You know, one of the overlords in the world's communication field is Nokia, and the other is Motorola.

But Chen Yu actually said that they will go bankrupt in the 3G era.

is it possible?

"I think so, and I believe it won't take many years, maybe within 10 years."

Of course, Chen Yu will not say what the future of the two companies will be.

You know, the bankruptcy of these two companies created another generation of giants—Apple in the previous life.

"Of course, these are off-topic. But even though it's off-topic, it has a great impact on us. If we don't have our own standards, we can only be at the mercy of others. Mr. Ren, what do you think?"

"That's why Mr. Chen has a chip open source plan."

Ren Zhengfei stared at Chen Yu with great interest.

"President Ren's eyes."

Chen Yu laughed.

"It's not my insight, but Mr. Chen, everyone knows what's going on with your chip open source plan."

"Yes, I just want everyone to know. Otherwise, how can I attract other companies to cooperate with me?"

"Mr. Chen, I wonder if there are other companies participating in your company's chip open source project?"

"Our plan is open source, and the cooperation is also open and honest. Everything is open. If there is a partner, we will announce it to the outside world as soon as possible."

"That is to say, only Huanyu Technology is doing it for the time being."

"No, there is another family that is very interested."

"Oh, which one?"

"Huawei."

At this time, it was Chen Yu's turn to stare at Ren Zhengfei meaningfully.

Chapter 482: Here we go again

"I'm curious, how do you think Huawei is interested in your chip open source plan?"

Ren Zhengfei didn't shake his head or nod, but asked curiously.

In fact, of course, that's exactly what he's here for.

It's just that the purpose of his coming to Universal Technology, except for him, even Huawei insiders don't know.

How could Chen Yu know?

"If Mr. Ren wasn't interested in open-sourcing our chips, I'm afraid he really wouldn't be interested in coming to us."

"This is not necessarily the case. Your company has performed very well in various businesses. I have been paying attention to it."

"Our business does not overlap with Huawei's business. For the time being, I believe Mr. Xin is not particularly interested."

"Are you so sure?"

"Half and half."

Speaking of this, Chen Yu laughed: "If Mr. Ren doesn't come, I may not be very sure, but since Mr. Ren is here, my guess should be right. After all, from Mr. Ren's perspective, he should be able to see Our chip plan is not only for us, but also very beneficial for Huawei."

"Indeed."

Ren Zhengfei nodded at this: "I have seen your chip open source plan. It is not just the way of mobile phone chips and computer chips, but the entire Internet of Things, or the integration of all electronic chips. This is very important to us at Huawei. Favorable. But..."

"Mr. Ren wants to say, you want to see more of our strength, right? Or, how can you trust me?"

Ren Zhengfei nodded with a smile.

Although he is very interested in Universal Technology's chip project, he is an extremely rational person.

He clearly knows that even if you have a rigorous plan and sufficient funds, you may not be able to break the game of European and American chips.

Although Huanyu Technology has made a good start.

"I don't know what to say, but if I had to say something, I would say that our Universal Technology has this strength. Of course, Mr. Ren and some other company leaders may still have a lot of doubts, just like doubting our Universal Technology There is no technology at all, but it’s like making a mobile phone. But in fact, we do a good job of making mobile phones.”

There is some self-deprecating in this remark, but it is full of confidence.

This reminded Ren Zhengfei of Huawei.

They, Huawei, did not develop very well when they first entered the field of communication technology, and many people also doubted Huawei's strength.

But a few years later, Huawei used its own strength to prove to its opponents that if you can do it, so can we.

However, Ren Zhengfei still said: "Chips are not comparable to mobile phones. Although mobile phone technology is also very complicated, it is not comparable to chips. After all, chips involve too many things..."

"Everything has to be done step by step, and it is impossible to perfect it all at once. The same is true for mobile phones, and the same is true for chips."

"Can I ask, how long will your chip plan take?"

"I don't know, there is no timetable for now."

"Approximately how much money will it cost?"

"There are no specific statistics for the time being."

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, your reasons don't convince me to join."

"The chip plan is not persuasive. Even if I have the best eloquence, I will not approve of it. What our chip plan needs are those who dream with us."

"dream."

Ren Zhengfei read these two words: "Isn't it too ideal to talk about dreams in the capital market?"

"I don't think so, on the contrary, a lot of capital has made countless people's dreams come true."

"That's a very new way of saying it."

Done.

Ren Zhengfei looked at Chen Yu: "Is the agreement ready?"

"Ready."

Chen Yu took out the agreement he had prepared.

Both are smart people.

In fact, all the above is not a reason.

The reason is that one Chen Yu wants to do it, and the other is that Ren Zhengfei also wants to do it.

If there is no Chen Yu in itself, Ren Zhengfei may do it by himself.

But since Chen Yu did it, it didn't matter whether Ren Zhengfei did it or not.

After all, this chip project is an open source solution, and members of the founding team can use it without restriction.

At the same time, according to the agreement, members of the founding team can also name the chip otherwise.

In other words.

In the future, if the chip is successfully built, Universal Technology can be called Universal Chip.

Huawei's side can also be called Huawei chips.

The chip is the same chip, but the name is up to you.

In this way, the fairness of the founding team members is guaranteed, and there will be no disputes due to the chip brand.

Of course, the premise is that a sum of money must be paid.

Or not one stroke, but multiple strokes.

How much money will be spent depends on the future situation.

"The first batch of funds will arrive in the foundation's account in three days."

"Thank you, Mr. Ren."

"You don't have to thank me, just like you said, for the dream."

Everything about the chip open source project is public.

Not just the chip architecture, but of course the protocol as well.

Ren Zhengfei had studied the agreement a long time ago, and he approved of Chen Yu's proposed agreement, so this time he just read it for a while before signing.

"Mr. Ren just said about me. I didn't expect Mr. Ren to have a dream."

"People always have dreams, although it looks ridiculous in the capital market. But what you said just now is right, capital can sometimes achieve the dreams of countless people. By the way, when will you be free to come to Huawei as a guest?"

"Don't worry, you must come."

"Then it's settled. I'll wait for you at Huawei."

"it is good."

After signing the agreement, Ren Zhengfei said goodbye, and Chen Yu sent Ren Zhengfei to the door.

Watching Ren Zhengfei go away, Chen Yu scratched his fist.
