Homecoming of Rebirth

What's more, to put it bluntly, the current level of lithium-ion batteries, whether in terms of energy density or other technical indicators, cannot reach the level of smart phone batteries, and requires further investment in research and development, let alone Coslight.

Therefore, it is useless at all.

After getting settled in the hotel, Qi Lei went to the laboratory, and met the driver who picked him up downstairs.

This driver, Qi Lei, knows each other, and he always picks him up every time he comes to Magic.

As soon as he saw Qi Lei, the driver hurried over to apologize, "I'm sorry Mr. Qi, I'm stuck on the road."

Qi Lei didn't take it seriously, he just called and communicated, "It's not a big deal, just go about your business!"

The driver felt at ease now. The laboratory is managed by foreigners, and the management model is also that of a foreign company. This kind of mistake will have to deduct money.

Qi Lei didn't say anything to comfort him, he just asked him to get off work later and take him back to the hotel later.

Only then did the driver feel at ease, and said happily, this is the last time, next time he must go to the airport early and wait.

Upstairs, I saw Byron, Sam, and Mr. Nan, and everyone exchanged opinions on tomorrow's meeting.

The results are summarized. Regarding the major types of technologies to be solved at the meeting, there are two biggest problems:

One is the battery that I just chatted with Boss Song; the other is the camera and video function that Qi Lei personally attaches great importance to.

The other major categories that seem to be more difficult are actually easier to talk about.

For example, chips, not only the main CPU, but also other sensor chips and module chips, seem to be blank, but because of the difficulty, they have already been laying out and thinking of ways, and now it seems that they are the least of the worries.

Then, the screen was completely handed over to BOE, and Imagination was working on the system, and the smart phone transplantation of the Pangu system had already been carried out.In this regard, it was actually being considered during the development of the PC version of the Pangu system.

The remaining sensors belong to the national team. Lao Qin and Tuoye made it clear that these can be made by some university laboratories and research institutes, and it will not cost much if the three stones provide funds.

Don't worry about the software ecology.

On the contrary, the battery has become a problem, mainly because Qi Lei's requirements are too high.

"The thickness of the mobile phone is about 1 cm, so the battery can only be thinner, and the capacity must reach 1000 mAh. Moreover, you need to achieve charging protection at the program control level."

Byron grinned, "Qi, these few requirements alone are enough for those manufacturers to scratch their heads!"

Byron complained in his unfamiliar Mandarin, "It's so difficult! It's so difficult!"

Everyone looked at Qi Lei, and Mr. Nan even suggested, "How about... let's relax a little bit the technical requirements?"

"It's really too harsh!"

……

Chapter 599 Envy, Jealousy, Hate

In fact, the several technical requirements proposed by Qi Lei are not too difficult to take alone, whether it is capacity, volume, or charging and discharging requirements, etc.

The development of lithium batteries is quite mature, and it is not a cutting-edge technology to be opened.

For example, BYD already has a cadmium oxide negative electrode chemical activation treatment process. This process has greatly improved the safety index of the battery and can meet the requirements of fast charging at the same time.

Therefore, it is not difficult to take it out alone.

But the problem is that it is a bit too difficult to combine the elements of large capacity, small size, safety, and fast charging.

With a capacity of more than 1000 mAh and a thickness of less than 5mm, the size can be stuffed into a smart phone, and it must be safe, preferably with fast charging. For battery manufacturers, it is hell-level difficulty.

Let's put it this way, Nokia's new 3300 launched this year focuses on music and game phones.Although it is a bit too "abnormal", but the battery capacity is definitely not to be picked, otherwise it will not be able to support MP3 playback and games for a long time.

But even so, the battery capacity of the 3300 is only 780 mAh.

And the battery is larger and thicker than that of the Sanshi smart phone.

What's more, the 3300 uses a detachable battery to solve power anxiety. Now almost all mobile phones use replaceable batteries.

When users buy a mobile phone, they usually buy a spare battery and use the two in turn.Some mobile phone manufacturers even send an extra battery when they leave the factory.

However, the final plan of the Sanshi smart phone is a battery-integrated design, the back cover is sealed, and one battery is used to the end.

It's not that I don't want to adopt a split design, nor is it that I can't design it.But the fuselage is too thin, the battery is too thin, and the strength of the fuselage must be considered.

If the battery can still be buckled, there is only one screen left, which can be bent with one hand. Who would dare to buy such a mobile phone?

The rigidity of the battery and the back cover can only be used to ensure the strength by the characteristics of the overall force after packaging.

And this means that people use two batteries in turn, and you only have one battery, which cannot be disassembled, so the requirements for the battery are even higher.

You guys get a headache just thinking about it.

So, "Can't we lower the indicator?"

Elder Nan and Qi Lei discussed it.

To this, Qi Lei's answer was very cruel, which almost drove everyone crazy.

"No! There is no discussion on this matter."

At this time, Qi Lei's eyes were firm, even fierce, he was not the good boss who was easy to bully at all, and let Byron swallow back all the head-to-mouth confrontation.

On this matter, Qi Lei came to talk about it, and no one said anything.

Afterwards, Elder Nan still couldn't understand, "Why are you so stubborn?"

Qi Lei's answer was, "Uncle Nan, it's really not that I'm not stubborn! Rather, this is the bargaining chip for us to win the final victory."

Old Nan, "???"

Qi Lei smiled contemptuously, "Uncle Nan, what technology, what screen, what function, those are just basic needs. In some aspects, we can only be regarded as catching up, breaking the sky is equal."

"It's these tenacious persistences that really make us stand out in this competition."

Old Nan, "..."

There was a long silence, "Can you tell me more about it?"

Qi Lei, "Alright!"

In fact, Qi Lei's internal logic is not difficult to understand, but it is a bit complicated to say.

With the current level of technology, including the technological capabilities of later generations 20 years later, the mobile phone style that is well-known by later generations may be the only solution.

Everyone in the later generations loves to complain, saying that mobile phones all look the same, and they are not as good as the various mobile phones in the era of Nokia and Motorola.

In fact, this is an illusion.

A mobile phone is first and foremost a communication tool, so it should be light in weight and easy to hold with one hand.

Second, smart phones are characterized by multimedia interactivity.Therefore, not only must there be a large screen, but also enough sensors to assist the interaction, which leads to the complexity of the internal structure.

Then, it is a portable device, and it must meet the requirements of putting it on and taking it out, and it can be easily put into any pocket.

Finally, because it is a commodity and has social attributes, the commodity that is often displayed must also take into account the sense of design and public aesthetics.

We think those old mobile phones are very good, even better than now, more out of a kind of sentimentality, and the sensory amplification of a certain specialty.

For example, Nokia N95 and N72 are regarded as classic masterpieces.

Even if I look back 20 years later, I still think that the mobile phone is excellent, beautiful, and worthy of aftertaste.

But having said that, later generations of Nokia made smartphones like N95 and N72, would you spend money to buy them?Most people won't!

Because even if it has the performance of a smart phone, the size of the screen cannot meet the daily needs of viewing videos, playing games, and viewing web pages.

too small!

Then some people may say, just make the screen bigger?What if it covers the front of the phone so much?Is that still an N95?Isn't it just a thickened version of the cottage?

The phone is enlarged as a whole?Not to mention affecting the senses, can we still hold it?Can it be operated with one hand?

To satisfy one-handed holding, flexible operation, large-screen multimedia interaction, portability, and a sense of design should also be taken into account.

At the same time, all the extremely complex modern technologies have to be stuffed into mobile phones, and the smart phone models of later generations are almost the only solution.

At present, among Nokia, Motorola, Microsoft, Blackberry, Apple, Samsung, and all other companies competing on the same track, Sanshi may be the only company that does not need to take detours and goes straight to the main body.

Other companies are still exploring, including the previous Nokia and Motorola, various shaped mobile phones with flip covers and sliders, and are also exploring design solutions that meet all the elements.

How could Qi Lei easily throw away this advantage?

What if I don't throw it away?Then we can only pursue the ultimate.

"For the time being, we can't make better chips than Intel, nor can we meet the integration capabilities of American companies."

"Like Apple, Microsoft, we are even more incomparable!"

"Then what should I do? Just relying on me to blow it outside, I can't blow it out as the number one in the world."

"It can only be possible to win if the battery capacity is larger, the mobile phone is thinner, more beautiful, the screen is clearer, plus fast charging technology, etc., and the user's overall sensory experience and user experience are improved from the details. "

"Otherwise..." Spread your hands, "Otherwise, what should we do? We will do what people do? Finally, we will return to the price war and rely on cheap Chinese labor to seize the low-end market?"

After hearing this, Elder Nan fell into deep thought, and finally said, "Listen to you!"

"But!" Old Nan changed the subject, "We've listened to you for the battery, but what about the camera lens?"

This is another problem.

"Lens?" Qi Lei frowned, "Aren't you talking with Nikon?"

When Mr. Nan heard this, he smiled wryly until the creases on his old face squeezed together, "How dare you say Nikon? They really dare to speak!"

"What they mean is that it can be done, but it will cost 20 billion U.S. dollars in research and development. After it's done, we won't have any patents!"

Qi Lei, "..."

Well, he really didn't ask about this matter.

Nikon is already owned by Paulson. In theory, even if it is not owned by his own family, it is also close to the water, right?Therefore, Qi Lei didn't worry too much about the phone lens issue.

Nikon's best thing is of course optical technology, especially digital cameras.It is not difficult for them to make mobile phone cameras at all. It is just a matter of miniaturizing the camera lens, and even the digital programs are ready-made.

Therefore, the Chinese headquarters, as well as Sanshi North America, are in contact with Nikon for the lens assignment.

How can you ask for 20 billion US dollars?And patent issues?

"I'll ask Paulson."

While talking, Qi Lei took out his phone, "Hello? What's the situation with Nikon?"

Of course Qi Lei and Uncle Bao are not polite, he believes that Paulson is not that stupid, and he wants to make a fortune for a scene.

In fact, it's really not Paulson's problem. His structure is not so small.

"Qi, this matter is a bit complicated, it's really not my problem."

how to say?The mobile phone lens can be divided into three parts, the optical lens module, the numerical control program, and the control chip.

The lens module requires precision and mechanical performance, but these are not enough.

The so-called digital camera still needs a program to calibrate and optimize the captured image, and the program needs a dedicated chip to run.

To put it bluntly, the same two lens modules have different programs, resulting in different color saturation and pixels, and the efficiency of running programs on two different chips is also different.

In terms of mobile phone lenses, the most advantageous are undoubtedly the old mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola.

Anyway, I have been playing for many years, and I have a solid foundation in lens modules, programs, and chips.

The second is traditional digital camera companies such as Nikon, Canon, and Leica. The lens modules may not be developed for mobile phone applications, but the numerical control program and chip technology are even more mature than mobile phone manufacturers.

In the end, there are new forces such as Sanshi, Apple, and Microsoft, and there is nothing you want.

Originally, Paulson acquired Nikon, which was good news for Sanshi, ahead of other companies.

But the problem is that others are not stupid, especially companies like Microsoft and Apple.Established strong companies are not just kidding, no matter in terms of forward-looking or research and development strength, they are incomparable.

When Paulson acquired Nikon, they discovered the possible threats on the lens, so the action was not slow at all.

And their countermeasures were so simple and rude that Qi Lei envied and hated him.

Paulson, "Let's put it this way, the lens modules and NC programs are all owned by Nikon, and it doesn't take much money to do new research and development. However, the basic instruction sets of all NC programs, as well as the patents for NC chips, are all from the United States. , or they are all under the control of Silicon Valley.”

We are not talking about chips here. CNC chips are not difficult. They can be made in Japan and Europe, but the patents are owned by Silicon Valley companies such as Intel.

"Based on this alone, they didn't have to chase after it at all, and directly cut off Nikon's chip supply."

"No way, I can only find the B palace, and there are many relationships to mediate, so I stopped this issue in the name of prohibiting vicious competition."

"The final result is that Nikon is responsible for the R&D and integration of mobile phone lenses, and American companies cannot set a threshold for fair procurement."

The point of this sentence is not fair procurement, but "American business."
