Chapter 1107 Human Nature (4K)
On the morning of March 3th, Hang Lung 9, President's Office.
Fang Zhuo was playing with the Yike Mars4 prototype sent by the R&D department after he arrived at the company to handle the affairs briefly.
This is a flagship machine using Yike's own chip. The chip's Chinese code name is "Zhu Rong" and its English code name is ZR 001.
It is based on the Cortex A8 architecture and uses a 45nm manufacturing process. The single-core main frequency is 1GHz, the secondary cache is 512KB, and the graphics processing core uses PowerVR SGX540.
The birth of the Zhurong chip is due to the contribution of Yike, Apple, and Samsung. In turn, the other two companies should also thank Yike for their role in it.
Based on such technical breakthroughs and sharing, the performance of Zhurong chips is not inferior to that of Qualcomm's MSM chips of the same level. However, in order to lobby for the choice of Yike's flagship mobile phone, Qualcomm has indicated that it will launch a higher frequency in the third quarter of this year. The single-core chip and the dual-core chip are expected to be launched by the end of the year.
Qualcomm has always been dissatisfied with Yike's choice of trying its own chip design. However, Yike has opened up the Selfy product line on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also promised to carry Qualcomm chips on its tablet products in the second half of this year. Neither would like to interrupt the cooperation.
Can the Zhurong chip be played?Can Zhurong 02 continue to play?
This is an important question concerning the present and the future.
If Zhurong’s follow-up chip fails, Yike’s Mars series may still have to return to Qualcomm’s arms.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Qiangdong, president of Yike Huaxia, walked into the president's office. He was holding the Selfy2 to be released by Yike in the middle of the year, which still continued the positioning of the video flagship.
"Sit down, Dongzi, pour tea by yourself." Fang Zhuo focused on using Mars4, motioning Liu Qiangdong to do it himself.
Liu Qiangdong put Selfy2, which he had also played for a long time, on the table, handed over the file, and then poured a cup of hot tea.
He drank half a cup of tea, saw Mr. Fang put down his phone, and said, "Mr. Fang, I see that some bloggers in the United States have already obtained Apple's iPad. The feedback is very good, especially its self-developed A4 chip."
Fang Zhuo let out a "hmm" and thought for a while before saying: "A4 is good, of course it is good. If it is wrong, I'm afraid we have to search for possible problems with the Zhu Rong chip."
Just at the end of January, Jobs released the tablet iPad in Apple's Grass Art Center in San Francisco, trying to explore the third mobile device living space between smartphones and laptops.
iPad所采用的正是苹果自家芯片，配备9.7英寸的屏幕、1024X768的IPS屏幕、16G起步的存储以及理论上10个小时的续航。
"Mr. Fang, the second-level cache of the A4 chip is better." Liu Qiangdong pointed to the file on the table, which is the evaluation data of the Yike Silicon Valley R&D Center.
He knew that the company cooperated with Apple and Samsung in technology, but he felt a little worried when he got the specific data. Apple's mobile phone released in June this year will obviously use the A6 chip. Now this chip seems to perform better?
Fang Zhuo didn't open the file. He received an email from Silicon Valley immediately, and thought about it and said, "Apple has modified the Hummingbird chip based on their needs. The L512 cache has indeed been increased from 640 to 535KB, but Its graphics display is 540, ours is [-], just don't know how Samsung will change it."
The chip achievements of the three companies are not used for the final finalization of the product, but have their own changes.
Yike’s changes to Zhu Rong are relatively conservative. Fang Zhuo noticed that when reviewing the Silicon Valley report last night, he also raised the question of whether to upgrade the L512 cache, and finally adopted [-].
Now we know about A4 and Zhurong, but we still don't know the performance of Samsung's finished products.
Fang Zhuo glanced at the worry on Dongzi's face, and smiled: "Don't worry too much, the impact in this aspect is very small, both sides are weak, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, after all, the foundation is the same, as for the follow-up design development, at least not this year worry."
"Even if the market feedback is not good, we will use a tablet to test Qualcomm's MSM in the second half of the year, and it can be recovered."
Liu Qiangdong nodded when he heard the words, but his mood was still serious. He is a liar, and Fang is always a liar. Even if Zhu Rong's performance is not as expected, Fang will probably insist on iterating on Mars. The so-called "recovery" may still refer to Enhance the positioning of Selfy.
He said slowly: "Jobs said that the iPad will usher in a new computer era, Mr. Fang, what do you think?"
Liu Qiangdong knows that the boss has been busy with Yixin and Penguin recently, and Yike's internal aspects are on the right track again, but Apple's tablet product is still... worth paying attention to.
"iPad is definitely good." Fang Zhuo pondered for a moment, how to define this new computer era, he thought and thought, and still focused on his own specific products, "Think about the naming of our tablet, I have a good idea for the second half of the year The product is expected."
Yike’s tablet in the second half of the year will use Qualcomm’s latest chips. In addition, it plans to add fingerprint unlocking to observe performance and consumer feedback.
The company has been developing fingerprint unlocking for mobile devices since last year, and the current decision is to test push-type fingerprint unlocking with a tablet first.
"Mr. Fang, aren't you looking forward to Mr. Yu's press conference?" Liu Qiang laughed.
This year, it has been confirmed that Mr. Yu will host the new phone conference in June. This is the first time since Yike launched a mobile phone. The internal mood is a little disappointed, and a little... relieved.
Mr. Fang's press conference was quite stressful.
"In addition to the chip, without fingerprints, and the face recognition algorithm is far from mature, what do I expect from this bucket-type improvement?" Fang Zhuo shrugged, "I may still expect Qualcomm to give me more aggressively. Let's call."
Liu Qiangdong smiled knowingly. In fact, the internal parts of the mobile phone have changed a lot this year, but the external appearance may indeed make people tired. Just as he was about to speak, Mr. Fang's mobile phone rang.
Fang Zhuo glanced at the screen, signaled Dongzi not to leave, then connected the call from Lei Jun, and heard the news from the other side.
Mituan.com suffered a collapsed resignation!
And, Alibaba executives called Mituan to ask if there is a possibility of investment cooperation.
Fang Zhuo put down his phone, thinking about Ali's intentions, and said, "Mituan's employees were promised twice the salary. If it were you, would you dance or not?"
"Ah? Boss Lei's rice balls..." Liu Qiangdong was stunned, but he also knew that the domestic group buying market is booming. He thought carefully for a few seconds, "Twice the salary, it is human nature to leave, although the rice balls are easy to buy." Ke invests, but the future is still uncertain, these hundreds of companies are crowded together, it is really burning money."
Liu Qiangdong noticed the competition model of users in the money-burning circle of group buying, which is simply a Pandora's box.
Fang Zhuo smiled: "Indeed, it's human nature, but it seems that the person who left on his side also brought the resources to connect with merchants, which is a bit of a loss."
Liu Qiangdong nodded: "It's true, twice the salary is worth it, which company is poaching people?"
"Qingzi's dangtuan.com." Fang Zhuo folded up the documents that Dongzi handed over before, took the Selfy2 phone he put down, and set the time, "We will hold a global online meeting at 8:[-] tomorrow night .”
Liu Qiangdong knows that this is to take care of the jet lag in different regions.
He got up to say goodbye and left the president's office.
Soon, Secretary Liu Zonghong came to hear the news.
"Ali has the intention to invest in Mituan, and the employees of Mituan were poached maliciously." Fang Zhuo pondered for a moment, his mind filled with the names of the middle and high-level executives in the company and their corresponding resumes, and then he called out by name, "You can coordinate with Geng Deheng." , Fu Xu, Ling Jisheng, Tan Wentai, and Mao Xiao, let them come to me for a meeting at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Liu Zonghong's thoughts changed sharply. The five named by the boss are all people with relatively senior qualifications. This is...
He nodded and offered some suggestions: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will ask Mr. Du if he has time for the activities in the district?"
Fang Zhuo waved his hand and had no objection.
Liu Zonghong quickly arranged affairs, and in the process, he found the common ground of the five middle and high-level people. It seems that they all have experience in promoting and being responsible for this work at the grassroots level.
Is this Mr. Fang's helping hand for Mituan?
How to arrange Ali's investment intention for another matter?
When Liu Zonghong walked into the president's office again, he saw the words "Henglong Hero" in the office and suddenly corrected his fallacy in his heart. There was no other matter. President Fang had already combined the handling of these two matters. .
In the afternoon of the next day, the five middle and high-level officials who were named arrived at the meeting room of Hang Lung 3 at 23:[-].
Mr. Fang's time is about 4 o'clock, but Liu Zonghong still has the task of telling a little about the current situation and competition of the group buying market half an hour in advance.
If you don’t look at the Juhuasuan product group just launched by Taobao, the mainstream group buying model today is to find customers online and merchants offline, and the platform assumes the responsibility of an intermediary.
And to find merchants offline requires a team of employees who carry out local push.
The two teams dug out by Mituan this time were Pengcheng and Yangcheng, which almost immediately paralyzed half of the business in the two cities.
Geng, Fu, Ling, Tan, and Mao are elite soldiers who can lead people to fill vacancies. Four of them can even be traced back to the medical period, and then went through the offline promotion of music players and mobile phones. It is not experience. Not rich.
Liu Zonghong eloquently explained the group buying projects and fierce competition in a clear way.
"So, does Fang always want us to rush to help the rice group?" Geng Deheng asked after Secretary Liu finished.
Liu Zonghong smiled and said vaguely, "It depends on the situation."
It depends on the situation, but you have to prepare first.
As for whether it is going to help Mituan, or Mituan really wants to accept Ali's investment and cut the mess quickly... Random guesses, random guesses, all guesses by myself.
Liu Zonghong glanced at the time, and just as he was about to call Mr. Fang, he got a call from the boss. The meeting was temporarily postponed, and Lei Jun from Mituan came to the door.
He notified the news and continued: "Since this is the case, let's talk about the industry trends. I heard that Baidu is also planning to enter the group buying market. In this way, the four giants YABT have all appeared on this track."
Liu Zonghong took precautions and told about the market situation.
In the president's office, Lei Jun took the tea handed by Mr. Fang worriedly, took a sip, and couldn't wait to talk about the problems facing Mi Tuan.
Mituan used to operate in the three major cities, and then expanded to the five major cities, and just added another one this month. Unexpectedly, Dangtuan.com is so unruly that it directly wraps people and merchants in the two major cities.
Lei Jun called Li Guoqing immediately after learning the news yesterday to question this behavior.
As a result, the opposite party was confident, and in the end he even said that he learned from Mr. Fang's competitive spirit.
Lei Jun's anger was half gone, and he began to send people to deal with the situation in Pengcheng and Yangcheng, but then he heard that there seemed to be a change in the Lin'an market.
Dangtuan.com seems to have planned it long ago, rather than a temporary idea.
From yesterday to today, Lei Jun managed to deal with the situation and came to Hang Lung immediately.
"Mr. Lei, don't worry. If people want to leave, there is no way. As long as there is money in the account and users on the website, all these can be solved." Fang Zhuo said patiently, "However, Dangtuan.com's footsteps are indeed Soon, I heard that it continued to take Penguin's financing?"
Lei Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and when Mr. Fang mentioned the financing of Dangtuan.com, he thought about it for ten seconds and said: "Mr. Li's Dangtuan.com has been running forward, and I also plan to speed up Mituan. Just raise another round of funding.”
Fang Zhuo nodded slightly.
"Ali contacted me yesterday and expressed his interest in Mituan." Lei Jun said here, slowed down, stabilized his emotions, and said carefully, "They are willing to provide resources based on the Taobao platform, and they can also provide financing. Let's talk."
Taobao's traffic resources and merchant resources are very valuable, which may be more helpful than funds of the same level.
What's more, according to Ali's meaning, he is also willing to try to give a higher number in terms of valuation.
Lei Jun said that he is not tempted, it is a lie, Ali is also a giant, Taobao seems to be more compatible, the problem is, what does Fang always think?
From the perspective of the shareholding structure, Mr. Fang and Shenxin only account for 35%, and they cannot stop Mituan from wanting to cooperate with Ali. Moreover, Mr. Fang also understood Mituan’s access to Alipay before.
but……
Mr. Lei has a but in his heart. Guanfang always acts in style and his personality needs to have this. However, the competition in the group buying market is already very fierce. It is rumored that Baidu has to do it by itself, and Yike only voted for rice balls, which is already the most restrained.
In addition, Yike had previously declined other group buying projects that came to the door.
Lei Jun turned his thoughts in his mind, picked up his teacup, and also wanted to see Mr. Fang's first reaction.
"Well, Ali is doing online group buying on Taobao, and now there is indeed a lack of offline projects. Their platform resources are very good. It is natural for Mituan to use these assistance, which is very beneficial to development." Fang Zhuo gave gently own opinion.
From a conventional point of view, this is indeed the case. If Mr. Lei intends to accept Ali and can balance the two giants, then the development prospects of Mituan will naturally look better.
This is human nature, Fang Zhuo can understand this choice.
However, group buying is an extremely costly project that burns more money than many people imagined. The devotion of resources in this area needs not only to obtain financial returns.
Just like Dangtuan.com owns Penguin Investment and directly sets "more" for "YiPay". If the relationship between Ali and Yike becomes more tense in the future, will Mituan, which is invested by the two companies, have to be fair and just?
There is no problem with being fair and just, but what Yi Ke wants is fairer and more just.
"Mr. Fang, I think Taobao is already doing Juhuasuan. I still don't want Mituan to accept Ali's investment." Lei Jun put down his teacup and said firmly, "In terms of funds, Yike has funds, and we have many investment friends. , In terms of resources, Yike has resources, why bother to look far away?"
He reiterated again: "Mr. Fang, I don't intend to accept Ali's investment."
"Well." Fang Zhuo pondered, "Ma is always a man of strategy, well, let's think about this matter again. By the way, if it is difficult for you to find someone for the vacancies in Pengcheng and Yangcheng, Yi Ke can do it." First transfer someone to the top, do you need it?"
Lei Jun nodded again and again: "Boss Fang, I need it, I need it very much."
Fang Zhuo refilled Mr. Lei's tea, then picked up the internal phone and asked Geng Deheng, Fu Xu, Ling Jisheng, Tan Wentai, and Mao Xiao to come over.
Soon, five elite soldiers from Yike walked into the president's office.
The secretary Liu Zonghong who came in briefly introduced to both parties, and Lei Jun was overjoyed. This is the resource of the giant, and it can replenish combat power in a short time.
Elite soldiers and giants have their own achievements, but they are mainly in the southern market, which fits the current predicament of Mituan.
After exchanging greetings with these five people, Lei Jun introduced the situation to them. When he finished speaking, his mouth felt quite dry. He drank the tea in the cup happily and wiped his forehead with joy. sweat.
Good, good, good, I'm so happy that I'm sweating.
