Chapter 144 New round of competition(1/2)

"I don't think about any good things, I'm all distracted."

Sun Baoyin walked into the office and saw Wen Liang leisurely lost in thought, smiling and joking.

Wen Liang turned around following the sound, his eyes habitually staying on Sun Baoyin's thermos cup for a second.

There is no story about Lao Yin’s thermos cup. He has replaced it twice this year. He simply likes to drink hot water and occasionally adds some wolfberry.

Anyway, you can eat it even if you are not middle-aged, so it won’t be a big problem.

Wen Liang continued: "Xiao Qin, Lao Zhang, have all begun to follow the path."

Upon hearing this, Sun Baoyin raised his brows in pleasure: "Hey, that's not bad."

Then he said: "Lao Zhang's side is okay, but this chip is more difficult than imagined. It took several academicians to take the lead for so long to find a direction?"

Wen Liang sorted it out for a while and replied: "The laboratory has a clear direction for completing a chip design and has corresponding experience. Even Xiao Qin's technical ability changes day by day."

"Scientific research personnel are well-equipped, and the financial investment required at different stages can be clearly given, but..."

Wen Liang spread his hands: "Xiao Qin knew what I wanted to be autonomous and controllable, so he chose the unecological Japanese SC-V instruction set to sort out, so he had a direction."

Sun Baoyin understood a little bit.

"Now we have initially sorted out the Japanese SC-V, and then we will launch an experimental-level self-developed instruction set based on mature ecological instruction sets such as X86 and ARM, then improve it, and then start the design work. From a commercial perspective, this year's results

All are 0.”

After saying that, Wen Liang was a little helpless: "The summary is that the school has given too much, and the efficiency has not been reflected at this stage. I originally thought it would take five years."

After listening to Wen Liang explain the process, Sun Baoyin went through it in his mind.

I also understand why Wen Liang must put the non-commercial part of these basic research in the school.

'If it were not placed in schools, we can understand that it would be difficult for managers and employees to understand this kind of horrific R&D investment that yields no results in one, two, three, or five years.'

Thinking of this, Sun Baoyin smiled: "How can a company compare with the academic and research resources of a university and its academicians?"

Wen Liang sighed: "So the school gave us too much, which cost us some human resources."

While talking, Wen Liang turned sideways and took out a piece of paper from the printer and handed it to Sun Baoyin.

There are some contents reported by Qin Zheng, as well as the labor costs calculated by Wen Liang, which is the minimum estimate of 47.5 million.

Sun Baoyin sighed deeply: "Luxury lineup."

Wen Liang said: "It's just a part of the existing one. The school can give more. All scientific research patents in the laboratory will be shared exclusively with Bolang for free."

Sun Baoyin looked at the simple content on this piece of paper and asked a question: "When will the company establish a corresponding commercialization department?"

Wen Liang replied: "The third or fourth quarter is just a gaming phone equipped with a self-developed system."

Sun Baoyin still didn't know the details of what happened at noon, and was a little confused: "Game phone?"

Wen Liang smiled: "Mr. Yin didn't realize it before?"

Sun Baoyin nodded tacitly: "Basic research + consumer electronics, the most convenient direction to enter is almost only smartphones, but unexpectedly it will be subdivided into categories."

Wen Liang explained casually: “Mobile phones are just like computers, what drives users to upgrade to a greater extent is games.”

"The commercialization process of the self-developed system is quickly starting to take shape, but it is difficult to directly compete with iOS and Android. We happen to have a mobile game business, and we are testing the water in a niche and slowly iterating the system, making timely adjustments to facilitate cost reduction.

.”

Sun Baoyin exclaimed after hearing this: "I understand, I'll just wait and take over the work."

He has a very intuitive feeling about Wen Liang's ability to control planning.

Wen Liang has indeed figured out the timing of the general direction of the self-developed system.

Reference 1: The Apple mobile phone system was released in 2007, and the iPhone 4 was released in 2010 with the mobile phone system officially named iOS. The iteration cycle for the mobile phone system to become a classic generation is about 3 years.

Reference 2: In the domestic market, FDD-LTE standard 4G licenses were issued in early 2015, thus entering the comprehensive 4G era, and the smartphone market exploded.

It is not difficult to find that counting from New Year’s Day 2012, there are still three years until the full 4G era.

After one year of research and development and two years of market iteration, it can almost compete with iOS and Android, and it can easily catch up with the good times.

This is also reflected in the arrangement at the lunch table. As long as the self-developed system is available, gaming phones will be released first, even if they are OEM.

We will not wait for the self-developed chips to be released before commercializing them together.

As for chip research, Wen Liang is not in a hurry.

He has a basic understanding of the R&D time cost and R&D investment of chip design.

Taking into account the general environmental conditions in 2018, six years later, we will start basic research this year, launch the first generation of experimental-grade products in five years, and then carry out commercialization and iteration in one year, and we will begin to have confidence. This arrangement is also

Nothing wrong.

So it was only today that I took my first informal tour of the laboratory, and it was fine.

After all, caring leads to chaos.

However, even leaving aside the academicians, the number of scientific researchers in the school laboratory exceeded his imagination.

This requires a chip design company with cash assets of over 500 million to be able to equip it.

First of all, the annual labor cost of 47.5 million yuan will not produce any commercial results in the first two years, and requires cash to be burned.

Secondly, the 1, 2, and 3 money-burning investments involved in the chip research and development process are separately calculated.

According to the market level, 500 million in cash may not be enough to achieve commercial results.

Therefore, knowing that Qin Zheng and the others were making good progress in sorting it out, and expected to initially roll out the self-research instruction set in half a year, and seeing the staffing, Wen Liang kept lamenting that 'the school provides too much'.

This greatly shortens the time to produce experimental-grade finished products.

Bolang is expected to take over next year and carry out commercial feasibility development work.



Like Li Ze and others, Sun Baoyin also breathed a sigh of relief after learning the details.

Planning for the second business started on New Year's Day, and it is not until today that it is no longer purely a paper plan, but has a preliminary outline and a timeline for the general direction.

As soon as his thoughts dispersed, Sun Baoyin also came back to his senses.

Handing the folder under his arm to Wen Liang, Sun Baoyin said with a smile: "I forgot to mention that the payment system has just passed the internal acceptance and can enter the business online review process."

"Oh, double happiness!" Wen Liang read through the report and said with satisfaction: "No wonder Mr. Yin doesn't like the efficiency of the laboratory!"

Sun Baoyin said deliberately and lightly: "It's necessary. There are hundreds of people in the R&D department now and more than a thousand part-time alumni. There is a personnel advantage to some extent. There must be some results."

Wen Liang suddenly cursed: "Zhuo, there are too many things to do, and I forgot a big thing."

Sun Baoyin was puzzled: "Huh?"

"Pay the license." Wen Liang said four words, "You initiate the online review first, and I will coordinate and resolve this matter. It will probably take a while."

Sun Baoyin didn't say much, got up and left the office.

…………

Later, Wen Liang found Wang Wanyu.

He thought about it and found that Wang Wanyu could handle this matter the fastest.

When Wang Wanyu arrived, she got straight to the point: "What's the trouble?"

"Look, this is Mr. Wang!" Wen Liang raised his eyebrows happily: "We need a payment license."

"It's urgent, right?" Wang Wanyu asked again.

Seeing Wen Liang nodding, Wang Wanyu thought for a moment and came up with a solution: "It's just a matter of launching our own payment system as soon as possible. It's easy to invest in a company that holds a payment business license and link the payment system there."

Wen Liang really liked the feeling that things could be solved as soon as he said it, but he still hurriedly said: "This is not enough, the payment system is very important."

Wang Wanyu could see Wen Liang's comfort to some extent, but this was an important reason why she came to Bolang.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and then Wang Wanyu said: "It's a bit troublesome. It costs 100 million. With the current situation, the only way is to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary."

Wen Liang has also done his homework and knows that the national payment business license requires the registered capital of the company applying for 100 million. There is currently no registered capital subscription system, and this kind of business does not allow subscription.

However, Wen Liang just waved his hands: "So Mr. Wang has to think of a way."

Wang Wanyu replied: "The company can now take out this 100 million in its account, but it will easily affect the company's development. Let me see if I can borrow another 30 million from ICBC."

Of course, Bolang has 100 million on its public account. At the end of the first quarter, the remaining balance was less than 70 million. After paying 37.5 million in dividends, there were more than 30 million left.

At that time, there was a loan of RMB 50 million on the account. Although plans for the computer room had been made, the money could not be paid in one go.

This month, Xiaocheng Book's advertising business revenue has reached a higher level due to the booming mobile game market. The mobile game revenue has been increasing almost every day, and the total revenue in 18 days has exceeded tens of millions.

With the solution in hand, Wen Liang directly initiated an online shareholders' meeting and finalized the decision to invest in a company and invest 100 million to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary.

The matter of paying for the license plate is divided into two steps.

…………

…………

Forefoot Wenliang happily drafted a draft of the "Smart Game Phone Plan" in line with the progress of basic research, and finalized the payment license;

Hindfoot Goose Factory did not say hello and directly launched a new round of competition.
