That’s enough!

After that, Zhang Shuo found another opportunity to chat with Mr. Ren.

Under the personal promotion of the two of them, Warwick and Buya have cooperated for the first time, but it remains to be seen how to make the cooperation bear fruit and how to avoid internal friction.

Tell the truth.

It is not something that Zhang Shuo and President Ren can completely decide.

………

Monday, January 7th.

In the morning, Gu Mingzhang formally reported the local computer market research situation to Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo specially asked Lu Qi to listen together.

"The Chinese computer market, regardless of the thoughts of assembly manufacturers, and just analyzing the computer accessories market, the overall situation is - comprehensive but not big, big but not strong."

"Comprehensive but not large" means that China's entire computer industry chain is still complete, from peripheral monitors, power supplies, chassis, radiators, speakers, keyboards, mice and other accessories to core memory, hard drives, CPUs, motherboards, and graphics cards

For accessories and even operating systems, there are corresponding companies."

"But they are basically at the second or third level, and few are in the first level."

"How are the first, second and third gears divided?" Zhang Shuo asked.

In my impression, by around 2022, domestic computer accessories should have started to gain prominence. Except for a few core accessories such as CPUs and motherboards, everything else has already caught up.

It is not as unbearable as the outside world understands.

Of course, all these achievements have nothing to do with any idea.

It's also ironic.

"The first, second and third grades are not professional divisions, but are divided from the perspective of consumers."

Gu Mingzhang explained.

"The first level is consumer grade, which means it has fully entered the civilian market. It will be considered by some DIY players and users and can be easily purchased."

"The second level is office grade, which is characterized by security, no backdoors, and can meet basic office needs. It can handle text and chart work, but its performance is average and ordinary users will not consider it."

"The third level is professional grade, mainly used in servers, supercomputers, embedded devices and other fields."

"What about the development prospects?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"The outlook is still very optimistic."

The survey report that Gu Mingzhang produced obviously has something to it, "Accessories such as monitors, power supplies, chassis, radiators, speakers, keyboards, mice, etc. are expected to enter the first tier in the next five to ten years."

"Especially for accessories such as mice and keyboards, there are already many well-known brands."

This is no lie.

The monitors of the Original Time and Space Whale Oriental are the best in the world.

"Compared with CPUs, the technical threshold for memory and hard drives is slightly lower. There is also a lot of room for future development. It is expected to catch up with, or even surpass, overseas manufacturers."

This reminded Zhang Shuo of the ZhiTi launched by Changchang Storage, which is already a world-leading product.

In this life, it will only come out sooner.

Sure enough, Gu Mingzhang quickly named Daosui Group, "If Daosui Group succeeds in acquiring Jili Storage and taking control of Jiangxia Xinxin, it is expected to achieve major breakthroughs in the fields of hard drives and memory chips."

"As for graphics cards, although the technical difficulty is similar to that of memory, because high-end graphics cards require the cooperation of game manufacturers, overseas companies have an absolute advantage in this area."

Speaking of this, Gu Mingzhang paused because he thought of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, a subsidiary of Moya.

There are various signs.

Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is no longer satisfied with the field of mobile games. It has also begun to make frequent efforts in the field of client games and stand-alone games. In the future, it may be able to cooperate with the research and development of graphics cards.

Zhang Shuo obviously thought of this and said with a smile: "Daosui Group can consider entering the field of graphics cards. In this area, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can provide cooperation."

In terms of game development, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is not inferior to any game company in the world.

"good."

Gu Mingzhang also smiled and wrote it down.

"So, where is the CPU?"

Zhang Shuo finally asked the most critical question.

"The CPU can be regarded as the core accessory of the computer, with the highest technical content. It is also an area with the highest overseas technology patent wall, so it is also the most difficult to break through."

As for the motherboard, since it is developed and designed together with the CPU, it can be classified into the same category.

"Specifically, domestic CPU manufacturers can be divided into three major categories."

"The first is to obtain authorization from Youtel and adopt its unique x86 architecture. They are recruiters from the Magic City and Haiguang from Haijin City. The way to obtain authorization is basically investment."

"X86 architecture will not be considered." Zhang Shuo directly rejected it.

"I think so too."

Gu Mingzhang took advantage of the situation and said: "Because of its absolute dominance in the computer CPU field, in recent years, Yutel has begun to fail more and more, moving from being closed to being even more closed."

"There are only two or three companies in the world that have truly acquired the x86 architecture, not to mention that."

"The most speechless thing is——"

"Once a company that has licensed Citrix's technology becomes bigger, such as AMD, it will fall into endless patent litigation with Citrix, which is miserable."

The original space-time system suffered a bitter taste because of this closure, allowing the more open arm architecture to stand out in one fell swoop, replacing the x86 architecture and becoming the most popular chip architecture in the world.

For example, Warwick Hays uses the arm architecture.

Although Warwick focuses on server chips, it later launched a youth version for office computers, and its performance was pretty good, basically reaching the second-tier level.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In addition to the x86 architecture and arm architecture, there is another domestic company that is unique, and that is Longxin, which completely bypasses the x86 architecture and arm architecture, and will always be completely

Independent intellectual property rights. However, this is a development path destined to be very difficult, and there is currently no big development prospect.”

Obviously Gu Mingzhang is not very optimistic about Long Xin.

"It all depends on people!"

Zhang Shuo doesn't think so. "Independent research and development seems to be the most difficult road to take, but once you get through it, it will be a real broad road and you will no longer be controlled by others."

In my impression, Longxin was developing better and better in the original time and space, and later launched the Longxin architecture.

Definitely worth looking forward to.

Gu Mingzhang nodded silently. After working with the big boss for so long, he had long realized that the big boss had a strong paranoia about getting rid of dependence on foreign countries.

This can be seen from the independent research and development of chips and operating systems by Maili mobile phones.

"Then it's settled."

Through Gu Mingzhang's report, Zhang Shuo's thinking has become clearer, "Buya wants to enter the computer market, serving as both a technology integrator and a technology researcher."

"To be specific -"

"Leave monitors, power supplies, chassis, radiators, speakers, keyboards, mice and other peripheral accessories to partners and suppliers for research and development. Sprout will not personally participate."

"Graphics cards, memory and hard drives will be the main areas of development for Germination."

"As for the CPU, in addition to relying on Zhulong Technology, the most important thing is to find a way to reach a strategic cooperation with Longxin and provide Longxin with sufficient research and development funds in order to break out of the cocoon and be reborn."

"That requires a lot of patience."

Gu Mingzhang reminded, "Based on the research report, my opinion is to proceed in three steps."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Zhang Shuo immediately became interested.

"The first step is to develop a tablet that has a lot in common with the MaiLi phone and has relatively low technical barriers, namely the MaiLi tablet." Gu Mingzhang was obviously prepared.

"The second step is to develop a MaiLi laptop based on the MaiLi tablet."

"The third step is the most technically difficult desktop computer."

Obviously Gu Mingzhang also knows very well that whether it is graphics cards, memory, hard drives, or the more core CPU, it will not be possible to catch up with the world's first-class standards in three or two years.

There is no need to do it in one step.

There is actually no necessary connection between making products and doing research and development.

Like grains of wheat x1.

This does not prevent us from using second-rate technology to make first-rate products.

The same is true in the computer field. In the early stage, you can use overseas core spare parts to develop amazing wheat tablets and wheat laptops.

Make money first, then use the earned money to invest in research and development, and then achieve self-sufficiency.

"very good!"

Of course Zhang Shuo is also very satisfied, "There is no hot-headedness."

"It's just that there are still two thorny issues in realizing this plan." Since it was a discussion, it was impossible for Gu Mingzhang to say that he would only report good news and not worry.
