The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 392 389.Don't worry

  After the meeting, Cao Yang left Liu Qiang, who had rushed over from Wuhan, alone.

   "What? Do we really want to do Lenovo?" Liu Qiang heard this item in the plan at the meeting, and still can't believe it.

   "We have money now, why not do it?" Cao Yang laughed.

  According to his idea, it didn't matter that the profit was thinner at the beginning, and he could even use the advantages of Bomi to fight against Lenovo to burn money.

  As long as the price is held down and technological breakthroughs are made continuously with the development of time, the cost will naturally be reduced.

  So Cao Yang's philosophy is different from that of many capitalists. Others like to pursue high profits. Cao Yang thinks how to occupy the market with high cost performance.

  Especially now that Lenovo and Shenzhou, as well as many foreign notebook computers exist, if you want to find a breakthrough in them and break a blood path, you must use extraordinary means.

  Cao Yang is also very simple to make a notebook, there is only one indicator——

play games.

   is to make a cost-effective game book.

  PC games cannot be replaced by mobile phones.

  Even until 2021, many pc games on steam are very popular.

In addition to playing games, computers actually do not have high performance requirements, unless you are in an industry with special needs, such as film and television special effects production, or finance or mathematics, and you need to use big data modeling, and the performance requirements are relatively high. .

  But in this case, there is actually no need to buy a laptop. The advantage of the laptop is that it is light and easy to carry.

  By the way, it can be used to pretend to be a force.

  ……

After listening to Cao Yang's explanation, Liu Qiang was still a little confused.

   Boss Cao has changed too quickly. A few months ago, he vowed not to engage in Lenovo, and now he is going to do someone else.

  Cao Yang can only say helplessly, now and then.

  Bomi Company didn’t have that much money back then. Now that the IPO is completed, Bomi Company can be said to have a lot of money. You can hit anyone you want.

  Don’t hurry up and have a good time?

  "With our industrial design level, this Bomi notebook computer can definitely be designed more beautifully." Cao Yang said confidently.

Not to mention how many future notebook designs Cao Yang has seen as a rebirth, coupled with his own very strong artistic skills, aside from the performance aspect, the appearance will definitely be able to beat all the personal notebook computers on the market now. .

   "What about the operating system?" Liu Qiang frowned and asked.

  He has no time to care about hardware problems. Based on his experience in developing smart phones, making a personal laptop is nothing more than finding the relevant supply chain and assembling the parts according to the templates he designed.

  Since the boss said that he can design the mold, there must be no problem.

  Looking at the idea of ​​Cao boss designing a smart phone, Liu Qiang fully believes that Cao Yang’s laptop mold will be very beautiful.

  The most important thing now is to determine two things-

  The first is the operating system.

  The second is the CPU.

  These two things determine how to make notebooks in the future.

  Especially the operating system is particularly important for a company that wants to produce its own brand.

  If there was no Hongmeng operating system in the front, Liu Qiang would not ask this question, just use windows, but now Bomi has the Hongmeng system, the meaning is different.

"Of course it is to use our Hongmeng operating system," said Cao Yang, "didn't I say it before? Hongmeng system 2.0, I hope it will be a more widely applicable operation that can be used on mobile phones, tablets and computers. system."

   Liu Qiang's mouth twitched twice.

  Did you never talk about computers at the time?

  Huawei’s Hongmeng system in the past is for the future Internet of Things services. He hopes to use an operating system to take care of most of the equipment on the market. Cao Yang’s idea is similar.

  Many of Huawei’s technologies are actually being developed in parallel. For example, when they are studying 5G, 6G has also been put on the agenda, and there is no conflict between them.

  For Cao Yang, there is no conflict between the simultaneous research and development of notebook computers and Bomi PAD and next-generation mobile phone products.

  Many products are developed in parallel, but the final choice of when to go public is a commercial consideration.

   "Of course," Cao Yang smiled, "In order for our laptops to win the favor of a wide range of consumers, we still have to be compatible with windows."

  There is no other way. Who makes windows users occupy the vast majority?

Microsoft has been operating the market for so many years, and many users have become accustomed to it. Now they would feel very awkward if they want to change an operating system. This is why Huawei has clearly developed the Hongmeng system in the past, but it still needs to be compatible. Android reason.

   "Okay." Liu Qiang nodded, thinking that it was not impossible, "It's just that the time may be a bit lagging. I expect Hongmeng 2.0 to be developed. If it meets the requirements, it will take at least 5 years."

   "Uh..." Cao Yang felt a little ashamed.

   is different from what he imagined.

  But this is also a very reasonable thing. The development of Hongmeng 2.0 is much more difficult, and it is really difficult to get it without three to five years.

  Now smartphones are also being synchronized. Before Hongmeng 2.0 can be put into use, Bomi smartphones are all iterating on the basis of Hongmeng 1.0.

  But if the laptop has to wait so long, the day lily is cold.

  This big move can't afford to hold back, and the price/performance ratio is too low.

  "Synchronous development." Cao Yang said, "You are studying Hongmeng 2.0, and then we synchronize to make laptops. The first generation of Bomi laptops can use windows instead of our own operating system."

   Liu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Boss Cao’s words.

  In this way, the development of the entire notebook business is much easier.

  Since someone else’s operating system is used, all the spare parts can use other people’s, which is similar to the current Lenovo. It mainly completes the design work, and even has a special foundry for assembly.

  The core problem of Bomi is only mold design.

  In other words, if the shape is well designed, Bomi has its own advantages.

  In accordance with Cao Yang’s own ideas, this process is expected to take only half a year, maybe not even half a year.

  Others want to design a new computer style may start from scratch, Cao Yang’s design is copied from the future, except for the detailed design of the notebook, other problems are not big.

  So this process will be greatly shortened.

  The two people discussed for a while, and the big framework was basically determined. After that, Liu Qiang would find someone to form a personal notebook computer research and development department. It happens that Bomi PAD is also in the research and development stage, and there is not much more.

  ……

   "By the way, how is the development of Micron mobile phones now?" Cao Yang asked.

It stands to reason that Micron mobile phones use the same operating system as Bomi mobile phones, with the same design and assembly. As long as the supply chain can supply it, production should be quite fast. It has been more than half a year, why there is still no one. Where's the shadow?

   "It just so happens that I brought a prototype over this time, Mr. Cao, please try it."

   Liu Qiang took out a micron mobile phone from his trouser pocket and handed it to Cao Yang.

In order to prevent the appearance of the two mobile phones from being so similar that in the future, many retailers will falsify and use micron phones as Bomi phones for sale. Therefore, Cao Yang specifically made certain requirements on the appearance. In addition to his own logo, Distinguish between color and shape.

  It's not that you have to do something worse, it should be designed according to the same good-looking appearance of Bomi's template.

  Cao Yang held it in his hand, tried the weight and feel, and it felt pretty good.

  At least the form factor is a pass.

  It took a long time to boot up, and then Cao Yang tried to play the game for half an hour. He felt that the phone was a little hot and the performance dropped a lot. He also encountered a lot of bugs and lags in the middle.

  Cao Yang couldn't help but frown.

  "As far as the current functionality is concerned, it won't work." Boss Cao said straightforwardly, without the slightest hint of falsehood.

  Bomi's style of doing things is like this, serious and pragmatic, with a lot of twists and turns.

Liu Qiang also felt a little embarrassed. "After all, the domestic supply chain still has a big gap with the top-level supply chain. The total cost of this micron mobile phone is less than 500 yuan, and the materials used are relatively cheap. The domestic supply chain The technology is not mature enough, and it is quite good to be able to achieve this level."

"No." Cao Yang shook his head, "We still have high demands. The main reason is that releasing this product now is equivalent to smashing our own reputation, but also smashing the reputation of the domestic supply chain. Who will dare to buy the intelligence developed by the domestic supply chain in the future? cell phone?"

Um……

   Liu Qiang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Please emphasize it to them," Cao Yang said seriously, "We can even delay for another year, but we must do a good job of the function and give me a specific requirement. At least you have to let me play the Thunder smoothly. Fighter aircraft for more than an hour."

Uh……

  The bitterness in Liu Qiang's heart, it’s already pretty good to be able to play the Thunder fighter smoothly for more than half an hour, okay?

However, he felt that Cao Yang was right. It was very important when this phone was first released. The impression it gave at the beginning determined its future. If the first Micron phone appeared, it would be cheap and not good. It feels that it not only smashed Bomi’s own brand, but also worsened the relevant domestic supply chain.

  In fact, for mobile phones, the two most important technologies are the operating system and the chip.

Both of these problems have been overcome by Bomi. Even for Micron mobile phones, the chips used are Hongmeng chips produced by SMIC. In this respect, there is no difference from Bomi mobile phones. The remaining part has technical requirements. Not that high.

  So it should be possible to polish for a while.

  Thinking of this, Liu Qiang felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Good boss, I will go back and hold more meetings with these suppliers and ask for more requests. It will definitely be no problem."

"Yeah." Cao Yang handed the phone back to Liu Qiang and said happily, "Come on, we will definitely be able to do it well. This micron mobile phone will open up the market for us. After the appearance of the micron mobile phone, the real smart phone era will come. ."

The price of Bomi smartphones is actually a bit high. It can only be said to occupy the mid-to-high-end market, but it seems a little powerless for the low-end market. There are still many mobile phones in China that charge up the phone, and most of them are around 1,000 yuan. These mobile devices are the big players in the market.

  The purchasing power of the people is relatively limited. In the past, Xiaomi succeeded in building Xiaomi relying on the low-end market. Micron now also shoulders the same mission.

  Once Micron smartphones enter the market, those old and low-cost phones can only face the fate of being eliminated.

  And now with more and more competitors and the continuous improvement of technology, the production costs and prices of related spare parts have also been suppressed a lot.

Bomi mobile phones now sell 3999 16G mobile phones and have made a lot of money. The production cost has been compressed from 2000 yuan at the beginning of last year to only 1500 yuan now. It is conceivable how rapid human technological progress is, especially when the market After the scale was enlarged, many manufacturers tried their best to make profits for Bomi's supply, lowering the price again and again.

  This is also easy to understand. First of all, the technology of these retailers has improved, the production cost has been reduced, and the production capacity has increased. As long as the quantity is large enough, it can make up for this part of the profit from the price reduction.

  It is the first step of the strategy to make mobile phones popular, and then rely on smart phones to provide more applications. The market size is much larger than that of mobile phones.

  ……

  After the meeting with Liu Qiang, Cao Yang continued to call in Liu Guangran.

  After the IPO, it is the busiest time for Boss Cao, because the parts of the company that lacked capital investment can now start. These Cao Yang must go through with relevant responsible persons one by one to ensure that there are no missing parts at the company's strategic level.

  As soon as he entered the door, Liu Guangran pulled a chair and sat down. He smiled and said with a smile on his face, "The boss is really good. We are really going to do Lenovo this time. I'm all a little excited."

Hey-hey.

   Cao Yang also smiled, "This is also the situation."

  At this point, it was really not what he had originally thought.

There is actually one advantage of making a personal computer, which is similar to a smart phone. It is to produce hardware around Internet products and build a Bomi hardware platform. At the same time, it can also enhance the corporate image. While making money, it also earns a reputation. Where does this great thing come from?

  And the funniest thing is that Cao Yang is very happy when he thinks that Bomi's admission can pierce Lenovo's true face and let them have nowhere to hide the management's faults.

  The two chatted a few words, and Cao Yang moved to the topic.

   "What is the situation of Bomi Technology Research Center now? To what extent has the relevant technology been developed?"

"Hmm..." Liu Guangran frowned. "As you know, Mr. Cao, the technology research and development we do are all time-consuming and labor-intensive things. Fortunately, the cooperation with major universities has been carried out smoothly, and the establishment in Qingbei Two key laboratories of cloud computing and artificial intelligence have been established, and other schools have also launched similar research projects.

  It is considered that the infrastructure has already been built, and it is still under development, but it will take a long time. "

  Cao Yang also knows this. He met with Liu Guangran for a meeting today, mainly to summarize the current situation. Everyone knows it well. If you want to produce results, it is difficult to do it within three to five years.

"Then there must be concrete progress," Cao Yang said. "You have to grasp the progress. It is impossible to delay endlessly, and how much content should be produced at each stage, what failed to do, and the reason is that you have to do everything. A detailed report."

   "This will definitely happen, don't you believe me?" Liu Guangran said.

   "That's good." A smile appeared on Cao Yang's face.

  ……

   "Let me give you some specific artificial intelligence project requirements," Cao Yang said, "This will facilitate future work, and there is also an acceptance standard."

   "Huh?" Liu Guangran raised his head and looked at him.

  Every time Boss Cao mentions a demand, the programmer is always big.

This time the establishment of cloud computing and big data research projects is enough to cause headaches. When playing games before, project requirements were calculated on a monthly basis, and now project requirements are calculated on an annual basis. Liu Guangran was a little skeptical sometimes ——

  How much time does he have to do several projects in his life?

   "These two artificial intelligence projects should not be complicated. Oh, what I said is that they are quite simple in terms of expression and form. They are suitable for you to start with artificial intelligence." Cao Yang said with a grin.

  "In 1997, didn't IBM's Deep Blue Computer defeat the world chess champion?"

   "So the first one, I want to make a Go artificial intelligence software, the requirements are not high, and I can win the 9-dan master in the Go world within 5 years."

  Fuck!

   Liu Guangran was shocked.

  Boss, what are you talking about?

  "Boss, the complexity of Go and Chess is not an order of magnitude at all, okay?"

  Liu Guangran said bitterly, “Chess 8*8=64 squares, the total number of changes is 2 to the 64th power, and Go 19╳19 forms 361 intersections, with 2 to the 361th power..."

  This Nima... the algorithm complexity must be n levels higher, okay?

  ……

  Previous life ALPHAGO involves 4 key technologies:

  Strategy network, value network, Monte Carlo tree search, decision network

  Although these techniques are demonstrated through the way of playing Go, they have a wide range of applications later.

The biggest application of    lies in intelligent screening in the context of big data. There are even many game companies that use artificial intelligence to plan and match related platform value distribution.

What alphago does is not really artificial intelligence. It is a deep learning algorithm based on a large amount of human Go game data. It analyzes and extracts the corresponding game data to deal with the current game, which is the database in the database. The larger the number of games, the higher the number of stages it can reach.

  Later, alphago has been able to simulate the game by itself and expand its chess library in a short period of time. This is the scene of defeating Li Shishi.

   Relatively speaking, this method still has an advantage in computing power. If you want to simulate real human thinking, there is still a big difference. It can only be regarded as a kind of machine thinking.

  ……

  "Don't worry," Cao Yang said with a smile, "isn't this one of the topics? And you have plenty of time to study."

   Ah, this...

  Is this in a hurry?

   Liu Guangran was already big enough to hear the first artificial intelligence project, and he didn't want to hear the next few artificial intelligence projects arranged for him by Cao Yang.

  ……
