Chapter 593 The stumbling block on the road to the king(1/2)
Since the operating system team wants to be the king in the mobile digital field, Su Yuanshan has no choice but to have any deviation in the operating system team's planning for future development.
After reading the business development program, he directly interfered with Chen Gang's plan and formulated a complete set of development goals and plans, and at the same time, he prepared to hold a press conference within one month.
The venue of the press conference was naturally the CES (International Consumer Electronics Products Exhibition) held in Las Vegas in early January.
After the press conference, Yuanxin will organize a PDA-based Yos Alliance. After Yuanxin launches a fully adapted Yos mobile phone, this alliance will continue to expand and eventually welcome the arrival of the mobile Internet era...
This is probably the path to the king.
...
One day later, Ken Kutaraki arrived on the mainland for the fourth time this year.
This time, he came to unveil the establishment of Sony (Mainland) Co., Ltd. After considering the establishment location of Sony (Mainland), Sony still chose to establish it in the capital as in history.
In addition, he also brought the PDA team and was established in the SAR as the first overseas department completely independent of the local area - right next to Yuanxin Industrial Park.
This operation is a bit Sima Zhao's intention.
Of course, it is also necessary to bring Su Yuanshan the first batch of cmos sensors.
To be fair, the current CMOS sensor is indeed a bit bad when used on cameras. It is OK to use it on mobile phones, but now there is no color screen on mobile phones. Even if you can get a color screen on your mobile phone, the cost is not acceptable to ordinary people.
In addition, the cost is extremely expensive because of the yield rate - even if the system development cost is not added, this is an unacceptable sky-high price.
And sky-high prices are not the future of consumer electronic products.
"Why not let Deyuan produce it?"
Sitting in the warm office, Su Yuanshan stared at Ken Kutaraki with a look of incomprehension.
"Hehe..." Ken Kutaraki didn't feel embarrassed, and laughed twice and said, "Su Sang, you can guarantee that you can eat millions of orders, so I'll let Deyuan produce it."
"..." Su Yuanshan thought to himself that you dared to slap me...
However, from the standpoint of Ken Kutaraki, even if he believes Su Yuanshan's judgment, he is confident in the future of the CMOS sensor. But now, the CD sensor is also a fact.
If the technology is not yet mature, or even a suitable product has not been found, and the cost cannot be obtained, then the wafer factory will be given a rashly handed over to the wafer factory for foundry... Then, who will blame the production of a bunch of sensors that cannot be sold?
And Ken Kutaraki is still a different consideration.
The wafer fabs established by Sony, Deyuan and Yuanxin have received strong support from the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Not only have they received the land, but the policy has also been green all the way, so I will give you whatever you want.
It can be foreseeable that this wafer fab with the registered English name "syd" will be completed and put into production within one and a half years.
At that time, in addition to producing flash memory particles, syd can also use more advanced processes to produce cmos photoreceptors.
In short, from Sony's position, it is not enough to keep the wealth of outsiders, and it is only a little bit to be able to get some.
Su Yuanshan clearly saw Kutaraki Ken's thoughts, but he couldn't think of any good tricks - Yuanxin has had too many big moves in recent months, so that although Zhu Yuanxin has set up a webcam research and development team, the progress has actually been slow.
After all, there is not even a video compression processing chip dedicated to CMOS, so Yuanxin needs to develop it again.
"This is how it goes," Su Yuanshan pondered for a moment and said, "We will jointly establish a video processing technology team to see if we can speed up the pace - I won't lie to you. In addition to the photo-taking function on your mobile phone, we also have other ideas."
"Is it an Internet camera?" Ken Kutaraki asked with a smile.
"...Juduojun, it's too much... Are you spying?"
"No...not not." Ken Kutaraki laughed: "It's mainly because your design center's communication staff is too purposeful."
"It seems that the awareness of confidentiality is not enough." Su Yuanshan sighed.
Ken Kutaraki happily watched the guy perform: "Haha, Susan. You know, even if you know you want to be a camera, we won't get involved, the same reason as if you don't do PDA."
Su Yuanshan said nothing nonsense...
There are only a few camera costs - lenses, sensors, chips, and sensors are the big ones. Sony is a well-deserved company that stands at the top of the industrial chain, takes away the top profits, and then competes for food with a downstream player. How much is it worthless?
Similarly, the same is true for Yuanxin not to do PDA - the chip plus Yos system adding flash memory has established the identity of the top of Yuanxin's industrial chain, not to mention Yos' layout of the application ecosystem.
As for why Su Yuanshan supports Zhu Yuanxin’s hard work in making cameras, on the one hand, Yuanxin can at least realize the self-producing of chips.
On the other hand, Yuanxin also has a high-profile reason to intervene in Sony's field of tuning lenses and sensors.
Just as Sony does not expect to be involved in the technology of Yuanxin's core chips, Su Yuanshan does not expect to be involved in the core technology of sensors. But if he can insert a kick in the field of later adjustment, Yuanxin will definitely have an absolute advantage in the field of image quality of mobile phone cameras in the future.
In the end, Sony has not yet realized what a huge market the cmos sensor will be in the future.
Let’s not talk about the far-reaching mobile phones. Just talking about the domestic and the comprehensive security network itself is a massive camera market. Before that, the Internet’s video chat cameras were simply a pediatric department.
"Then let's not talk much nonsense. We will jointly establish a special adjustment department. We will start with the small goal, first create a webcam, and then gradually popularize it on cameras and mobile phones. How about it?"
Ken Kutaraki didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "Yes."
Su Yuanshan picked up the teacup with a smile.
"cheers."

The next day, Ding Lei, who had not seen for several months, quietly arrived at the provincial capital.
"Oh, let's have an interview. As the first Internet company in China to be listed on Nasdaq, Mr. Ding, what are you feeling at this moment?"
In Su Yuanshan's office, he joked at Ding Lei, whose face was getting rounder and round.
——Just this month, a message came from Silicon Valley, successfully completed the IPO and was scheduled to be launched on the 24th of this month, which is the legendary Christmas Eve.
It has to be said that being able to arrange such a meaningful day for a company from the mainland to go public means that Nasdaq is still optimistic about the Internet companies in the mainland.
"Mr. Shan, stop kidding..." Ding Lei waved his hands one after another, his face feeling nervous: "I am Alexander now, Alexander..."
"Why is it so big? I see that your idio effect is very good." Su Yuanshan was really puzzled now.
As the first Internet company under Yuanxin to be divided, he naturally has no shortage of attention. He received the news on the day he completed the IPo.
Public offering, planned to issue 50 million shares at an issue price of US$5 per share, but the subscription exceeded three times - although it is not as good as the subscriptions that are dozens of times the time they often subscribe, which is also an amazing starting point.
What is Ding Lei worried about?
"Worried about falling." Ding Lei said something in front of Su Yuanshan and said frankly: "Xiaoshan, Yuanxin is still the largest shareholder now, you have to help your senior brother."
"You want to be more specific." Su Yuanshan also put away the joke and asked seriously.
"Although we left Yuanxin, our brothers never forgot to pay attention to Yuanxin's situation. We know that Yuanxin's past two years has been a critical period..." Ding Lei whispered: "It's a pity that we can only help us shout and can't help others, especially in terms of money."
"Senior Brother Ding, this is a shame. Brothers, as long as you have the intention."
"Well...but..." Ding Lei opened his mouth and endured it for a long time but still couldn't speak.
Seeing this guy Ai Ai's appearance, Su Yuanshan frowned and thought for a few seconds before asking: "Are you worried that Yuanxin will reduce its holdings a lot after the lock-up period?"
In the US stock market, although there is no clear legal provision for locking up positions - that is, during the period when IPO is listed, the original shareholders of listed companies will sell their shares to cash out - but in the securities market, in order to ensure the interests of investors, they generally sign a ban on sales agreement with the original shareholders.
This ban is generally half a year.
And then, it was the time when Yuanxin was most short of money.
Ding Lei pursed his lips silently and explained softly: "At present, we are competing fiercely in the portal field. Yahoo, AOL, and Microsoft's msn are all competing with us for the first place in different fields..."
Su Yuanshan smiled slightly, interrupted Ding Lei's words, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I promise you another half a year to lock it up. And after the issuance, I promise that it will not fall."
Ding Lie suddenly looked up: "Really?"
"When did I cheat people?" Su Yuanshan smiled.
Ding Lei thought about it for a while and nodded for a while, but at the end he still asked worriedly: "It won't fall... is it the stock price trend or?"
"I will ask Xinghai Fund to buy as much as it falls, so don't worry." Su Yuanshan said simply: "You have to know that this is the first company in our country to be listed on Nasdaq... It has the significance of positioning later generations."
"Yes, yes, I think so too." Ding Lei nodded and exhaled a long sigh.
Seeing this, Su Yuanshan smiled and said, "And develop more business, such as mp3. You can rent copyrights from the symusic copyright center to provide online listening services, or provide traffic portals for paid downloads."
"Anyway, it's the same thing as before. The Internet is an industry that focuses on creativity. There are only unexpected things, but no one can't do it."
Seeing that Su Yuanshan was still "proposal" for himself as before, Ding Lei endured it a few times and finally couldn't help it. He sighed and said, "Xiaoshan, when I straighten the website, I will hand it over to others. When I come back to Yuanxin for retirement - even if you do chores, you won't be welcome, right?"
"Senior brother, the words are serious." Su Yuanshan smiled and shook his head.
He didn't know whether Ding Lei was showing his true feelings or pretending, but at least this attitude...is good.
Next, the two inevitably talked about Pony's em - it is obvious that the current capital is not very interested in pure free communication software such as em, which focuses on chat and communication, or rather, it is not as interested as a portal website.
So much so, after the EM was raised twice, the investor suggested not to ipo for the time being, wait and see.
Regarding this, Su Yuanshan can only say...the big guys on Wall Street are still a bit "strange".
Of course, Su Yuanshan didn't mind.
Because, sooner or later, these two people will return to Yuanxin's arms.
Just then, Wen Xiaoqian pushed the door open and entered: "Mr. Shan, I received an email from Apple. Mr. Jobs plans to visit him in the near future. What do you think of the arrangement?"
Su Yuanshan was slightly stunned. After calculating the days, he thought for a while and said, "Reply, let's just come back the day. I will meet him in Hongyuan Industrial Zone, the Special Administrative Region."
As he said that, he sighed: "The stumbling block to the King's Road is here."
...
Hongyuan Technology Co., Ltd., the relisted Yuanxin Industrial Park.
After Su Yuanshan held a press conference in Silicon Valley last time, he had a secret consultation with Jobs. No third party knew what he had discussed in detail.
