Chapter 807 Frontier Money(2/2)
"..."
Although the workload is not very large because it covers a small population, it can still provide Shengyu with the most complete measured data.
It will further accelerate the baseband chip module design work of Shengyu Laboratory.
China is far behind the world in the popularity of 2G and 3G. Perhaps with the emergence of Shengyu Laboratory, the 4G era will change.
Anyway, at two meetings that ended at the beginning of the month, Miao Wei revealed to the media that the issuance of 4G licenses is in the process of being issued. If conditions are mature, it is not impossible to issue them within this year.
Of course, this is not exact news.
When Fang Nian was watching the news interviews at that time, he always felt that Miao Wei, a bad old man, was suspected of teasing the media.
After all, in his memory, the first TD 4G license was not issued until the end of 2013, and the FDD license was delayed until the beginning of 2015.
Anyway, there are many factors affecting it.
For example, the progress of base station construction, the number of users using smartphones, the environment, and the priority to promote the TD standard.
Then there is China Mobile’s huge pitfall of hundreds of billions in TD-SCDMA.
"..."
Then there was Lu Weiyu, who briefly talked about the development of Taotie.
"The development of Taotie in Rongcheng is also good. Taotie's basic foundation is the most complete among all laboratories and is very strong. However, the breakthrough in materials is not too obvious. There are some results, and some are even supplied to Luzhou alone.
on the leading edge wafer test line.”
"..."
Lu Weiyu went to Taotie to inspect the work, and took the new acting CEO to familiarize herself with the situation in advance.
It's just that the official appointment time is after Qingming Festival, which is a pre-buffer.
"..."
Finally, there is Wen Ye.
Wen Ye was the only one who was arranged by Fang Nian to go on a business trip.
It means to warn.
At the end of last year, Baize Laboratory was praised by the whole company, but it was collectively reprimanded in the blink of an eye, which is relatively rare.
Wen Ye stayed in Luzhou for four days and nights and didn't come back until this morning.
Whether it is Su Zifeng, Chen Jianye, the other two academicians, or all parts of the Baize Laboratory, as well as a total of 8,000 employees, they all feel the tremendous pressure from the cutting-edge CEO.
It is said that even the sweeping lady was more efficient in those days.
Wen Ye did a good job of showing Fang Nian what thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king.
Even someone like Su Zifeng, who has worked hard in a foreign environment for many years, took the initiative to send an apology email to Fang Nian's mailbox.
Not to mention the large CPU project team that is the focus this time.
What Fang Nian asked Wen Ye to bring with him: I didn’t come to Qianfian to show you the secrets of saving money!
It was like a heavy hammer hitting the heads of two academicians with special tasks.
"After on-site inspection, I believe that Su Zifeng has a strong sense of belonging to the cutting-edge and has integrated well into the working atmosphere of Baize Laboratory. We can consider appropriately opening up the administrative rights of the large CPU project team."
"..."
"Academician Han has pledged in the form of a military order to accelerate the research and development of large CPUs at all costs from now on. 500 servers in the Luzhou Frontier Data Center have officially used self-developed CPUs;
Academician Han said that we will adjust the performance of the next-generation architecture step by step based on actual data to ensure that the minimum performance requirements for using names are met before August."
"..."
After listening, Fang Nian said calmly: "Mi Wen, you have to continue to work hard on Bai Ze and be relaxed."
"Xiao Gu, we must ensure that Shengyu's baseband chip must be finished before the end of next month."
"There's nothing else to say."
"..."
Next comes the more serious stuff.
Summary of work in the first quarter of 2012.
Naturally, Wen Ye made the summary report.
"In the first quarter, various research and development work progressed smoothly."
This sentence sums up a lot.
Fang Nian also learned about more specific things from the past few days.
Then, Wen Ye continued: "Affected by the good news about the explosion of demand from domestic smartphone users, Nuwa Laboratory's revenue is relatively satisfactory, with domestic market revenue of 2.475 billion;
Overseas market revenue totaled RMB 1.45 billion;
At the same time, Luzhou Frontier mobile phone SoC revenue exceeded 1 billion, followed by Zero brand operating revenue of approximately several million."
After a pause, Wen Ye was about to continue talking when Fang Nian suddenly said: "Do you have any approximate data on smartphone sales in the domestic market in the first quarter?"
Wen Ye nodded and replied: "Mobile phone sales exceeded 65 million units, of which..."
As he spoke, Wen Ye raised his head and looked at Fang Nian: "MindOS device shipments account for more than 50%, and the total MindOS device shipments are close to 150 million units."
"In addition, according to analysis reports, the penetration rate of mainstream smartphones in the domestic market has reached about 70% of the total."
Pure smartphones do not include Symbian, BlackBerry and other other systems as well as counterfeit parallel-imported phones.
The total data includes functional machines.
Currently, the three mainstream smartphone operating systems are MindOS, iOS, and Android.
In other words, MindOS device shipments account for nearly 75% of the current three major systems.
iOS+Android only has a 25% market share in total.
certainly……
The comprehensive profit margin is very impressive.
Because the overall profit margin of iOS devices is very high.
Wen Ye then talked about more specific data.
For example, the shipment volume of each manufacturer.
Among them, Juchang's Ascend D series has been underwhelmed since its launch, and its sales have been unprecedentedly bleak. The problem basically lies in the K3V2 chip. Although it is the smallest 4-core processor, the actual performance is really hard to say.
In addition, the popularity of Redmi 1 has dropped a lot, and shipments in the first quarter have dropped a lot, only about 9 million units.
On the other hand, Samsung Electronics is still making rapid progress.
"..."
Seeing that Fang Nian was thinking, Wen Ye continued to report: "Including the total 3.7 billion funds lent to the company by you and Mr. Guan, the company's current disposable funds in the account have exceeded 10 billion, and the total new investment in various projects in the first quarter exceeded 4 billion
."
"Including the more than 1 billion in Luzhou Frontier, right?" Fang Nian asked.
Wen Ye hummed.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Nian said: "The disposable funds at Luzhou Frontier can be reinvested in established R&D projects."
"The remaining funds of about 9 billion will be fully invested in the second quarter. On the premise of ensuring investment in other necessary projects, all will be invested in Taotie's materials research and Yongchu's EUV research. There is nothing to say specifically, just spend as much money as you can."
"..."
The office was quiet for a moment, and Guan Qiuhe was the first to speak: "That's it?"
"What else?" Fang Nian shrugged and said calmly, "Materials and EUV lithography machines are very important, but we haven't produced any tangible results, so we can only spend more money;
As for other established projects, the research and development funding investment process has basically been set, and it will be done step by step."
As he spoke, Fang Nian looked at his watch and stood up: "It happens to be early. I'm going to the capital to catch up on dinner. Mr. Guan can help me apply for a route."
Guan Qiuhe: "?"
Lu Wei said: "???"
Everyone: "(⊙o⊙)"
There is simply no psychological preparation.
Why is it that one second I was talking about investing money, and the next second I was talking about going to the capital...
