Chapter 295 292. Already hungry and thirsty
In August 2006, the self-provided function of Bomi mobile phones has been perfected and can reach the standard of mass production, which means that Bomi mobile phones will enter the mass production stage in the future.
After the Bomi mobile phone was officially put into production, the demand for various parts has also risen steadily.
Only the mobile phone screen, according to the previously agreed demand from LG, ordered 5 million orders in one go, and delivered them in half a year.
Just when Bomi reached a cooperation agreement with LG and signed an order agreement, a company called Apple in the United States was also seeking cooperation with LG to purchase H-ips screens developed by LG.
And two years ago, Jobs personally visited the door and provided them with a demand design book.
The two parties communicated the required screen size functions in very detailed and confirmed that there is no major problem.
The only problem is--
Apple's needs are too similar to Bomi's, right?
Also, the monthly output of LG's mobile phone screens is now almost maintained at about 1 million, which is based on the previous requirements of Bomi.
Since the order has been signed with Bomi, the supply for Apple is not very sufficient.
Fortunately, Apple has not yet entered the production stage, and there should still be some technical problems that have not been resolved. If Apple starts production in the future, LG will not have so many supplies.
LG has signed non-disclosure agreements with Bomi and Apple.
However, Li Xiangmo, the person in charge of LG's mobile phone screen production department, wanted to laugh a little when he saw the need for screen design cooperation from the front and back of the two companies.
What the **** is this?
Why are there still crashes designed?
"Well? What's wrong?" Li Xiangmo compared the mobile phone screen requests on both sides, and couldn't help frowning.
Although the current mainstream mobile phones still use the keyboard to operate, just like Motorola and Nokia, but after the brainwashing of Bomi and Apple, LG people almost have some future smart phones in their brains. Look like.
If the Chinese company Bomi first visited and said that it was a joke to make a mobile phone that completely abandons the keyboard, then when Li Xiangmo received the demand from Apple, he couldn't laugh at all.
Bomi can ignore it, but Apple's influence is still there. Apple computers have been representing the highest design craftsmanship of personal computers for so many years.
Now that Apple wants to enter the mobile phone market, it also needs to build a brand-new mobile phone that does not require a keyboard, so LG's mobile phone screen is needed.
At this time, Li Xiangmo has already felt a new wind, which is sweeping towards the entire industry.
A feeling of a storm approaching.
Thinking back to Bomi, who came to the door almost half a year before Apple, Li Xiangmo now felt a tremor all over his body.
This shows that a Chinese company has been ahead of Apple for at least half a year in terms of design concepts.
is it possible? !
It's all nonsense. Bomi's company, Li Xiangmo, even asked someone to find out. After all, the number of orders given was really too large. Then he discovered that Bomi had no such aspect before making mobile phones. The experience and manufacturing history of this company is completely a typical Internet company, providing Internet instant messaging services in China, as well as value-added services developed around these businesses. If you say that the company's most profitable, it should be their games. Department?
A company with games as its core can really make a good mobile phone? !
Li Xiangmo deeply doubted.
But when he saw the demand given by Apple, the whole person fell into deeper doubts——
Design crashes, Bomi's design philosophy is actually ahead of Apple?
What is this situation?
only--
I don't know if Apple or Bomi will win this time.
"In the end, it still depends on whose quality and design are better?"
The information that LG can get here is still relatively limited.
To say the biggest difference between the two, then it is probably that the screen size of the mobile phone required by Bomi is much larger than that of Apple, right?
It seems that the Bomi phone is not like a mobile phone, it is more like a brick.
Although Apple's mobile phones are not small in size, they are relatively close to the current mainstream mobile phones.
From this perspective, Li Xiangmo feels that Apple has a greater chance of winning.
Is Apple ready? Cao Yang doesn't know, but Bomi mobile phone is already ready.
Although the following mobile game projects are still in the approval process, when Cao Yang reported the situation to the leaders, he immediately received the support of the state.
August 15, 2006.
The leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Intellectual Property Office brought together the relevant local departments, the three major operators, Bomi, Huawei, SMIC, Baidu and a group of Internet software and hardware manufacturers held a conference.
This time it is completely led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which can be said to be a legitimate Internet summit.
The specifications are quite high, much higher than the specifications of the previous Internet summit organized by entrepreneurs spontaneously. This time the conference can be said to be very impressive.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was a newly established department directly under the reform of China's “super-ministerial system” on March 11 this year. The responsibilities related to industrial management of the National Development and Reform Commission, the responsibilities of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense other than nuclear power management, as well as the responsibilities of the Ministry of Information Industry and the Information Office of the State Council are integrated, and are assigned to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Perhaps because the domestic Internet industry is developing too fast, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which was supposed to be established in 2008, was established two years earlier.
I don't know how much of this is attributed to Cao Yang.
It can be said that the current Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is in charge of all information and industrial manufacturing departments, which of course also includes the Internet industry.
Li Yizhong pulled a group of bigwigs for a meeting in the imperial capital.
At the meeting, Ms. Liu Yuhua, Director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, specially commended Baidu, Huawei and Bomi.
The technological breakthroughs and innovations made by Baidu in the field of artificial intelligence, especially the intelligent search engine, have made great contributions to our country's self-developed search engine, while also protecting the security of national data.
Therefore, Baidu was awarded the award certificate of [Smart Search Innovation Winning Unit].
How do you understand this sentence?
If there is no intelligent search engine provided by Baidu, then our country will lag behind the international in the field of information search platform, or it will be the introduction of foreign Google engines.
This thing is a considerable hidden danger for user data security, because the records of users browsing through the search platform every day, as well as the huge database and resource integration behind it, are a terrible amount of information. If these things are not available If it is in the hands of the Chinese people, but if foreign industries are allowed to enter, then the consequences will be disastrous.
Equivalent to everyone's online behavior will be under monitoring.
These shocking cases have made the people above very vigilant about information security.
Therefore, a search platform like Baidu that needs to collect a large amount of user data, not only personal user usage data, but also domestic news, domestic major corporate information, domestic trend information... all aspects of information integration search platform, and dare not rest assured to give it to foreign countries. .
This is also the reason why our country has not let Google in.
Data storage, information security is a big problem.
Baidu can get this [innovation winning unit] really deserves its name.
Then, Liu Yuhua, Director of the Department of Science and Technology, also named China Mobile, Huawei, and ZTE by name. Because of their breakthroughs and contributions in network communication technology, our country's mobile communications sector has kept up with the international pace. The results of the ten 3G city trials are very good, and it is expected that 3G will be popularized throughout the country at this time next year.
So they also got the certificate of [Science and Technology Innovation Winning Unit].
After is Bomi.
Li Yizhong said, “This time, Bomi has done a good job and is able to pull up an entire industrial chain through the new smart phone solution. The above attaches great importance to innovation and production in the mobile phone field in the future.”
This time, Bomi's smart phones have really driven the entire industry chain. The mobile phone design and operating system research and development are mainly carried out by Bomi. The chip design is designed by Liu Qiang. However, Huawei also participates in the joint design. Mi's smart phone can make a major breakthrough in a few years.
The mid- and downstream industries of mobile phone production were immediately driven. Just patents alone can add up to more than 600 participating companies.
For this reason, the country has also subsidized Bomi, the subsidy amount is as high as 1 billion U.S. dollars, and at the same time, it will also reduce taxes and fees for smartphones in the first 5 years, which is already very good news.
The above meaning is very clear——
Our country finally has a high-tech product that can be at the forefront of the world. We must open up the situation, even if it is subsidized by the state.
"So, if you have any problems or troubles, Cao Yang, please mention it here, and we will help solve it as much as possible." Li Yi looked at Cao Yang.
Cao Yang nodded a little flattered, "Thanks, thanks to the country, thanks to ZF."
"That's right," Li Yizhong said, "How are your patent applications here?"
Patents are not only Bomi's own patents. Huawei participates in the production of smart phones. It has also produced many patents on mobile phone network communications. SMIC's chip production... and BYD foundry...
There are a lot of patents born up and down the entire industry chain, adding up to five to six hundred patents.
Everyone looked at Cao Yang, including Huawei's CEO Ren Zong.
In terms of seniority, Mr. Ren must have the most say, but this time Li Bu asked about the content of the smartphone, and the leader of this section was Cao Yang.
Although Boss Cao looks a bit too young to fit in with everyone in the room, everyone knows that Bomi is the protagonist in today's meeting.
Cao Yang nodded, "We have applied through the PCT."
PCT, the international patent system, you need to search for similar patents before applying for an international patent. If not, you can prepare materials to start an international patent application.
First of all, there is no international patent, the exact name should be "patent international application".
"Patent Cooperation Treaty", referred to as PCT, nationals of contracting states who want to apply for patent protection for a certain technology from one or more countries of the "Patent Cooperation Treaty" can follow the procedures stipulated in the "Patent Cooperation Treaty". Submit the application documents in the specified language to the receiving unit or the International Bureau designated by the Patent Cooperation Treaty. This submission procedure is deemed to have filed patent applications in all the Contracting States of the Patent Cooperation Treaty.
The Patent Office of the State Intellectual Property Office of China is the accepting unit for the formulation of the treaty. Chinese is also the language designated by the treaty. Therefore, Chinese people can submit "international patent applications" in the State Intellectual Property Office of China in Chinese.
Before the PCT, in the past, to obtain patent protection in several countries, it was necessary to apply for patents in each country one by one, and the procedures and procedures were very cumbersome.
In order to solve this problem, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan and other countries held a diplomatic conference in the United States on June 19, 1970, and signed the "Patent Cooperation Treaty."
As of this year's position, its member states have reached 61.
In other words, an international application submitted by the applicant is valid in 61 countries.
The purpose of PCT is to strengthen the legal protection of inventions by simplifying the procedures and procedures of international patent applications, and to promote international scientific and technological progress and economic development.
But there is another problem in this——
Submission of an international application does not mean that all countries are effective, but that the process of [submitting an application] is effective for the contracting states.
They just simplified the submission process, and whether it is effective for each country depends on whether their local review is passed.
For example, Bomi has already submitted an application, which is equivalent to applying for patents in 61 countries at the same time, but it is possible that the United States will not agree to it.
"We are more worried about whether the United States will agree to our patent review." Cao Yang said bluntly.
"It's okay, don't worry about this, there is a country to support you behind." Li Yizhong laughed.
There are thousands of international patents filed by our country through the PCT every year, and these are all recognized.
It will be sooner or later that the patent of the smart phone is recognized.
In fact, the truth is very simple.
This is a situation that neither side wants to see.
China spends more than 35 billion U.S. dollars in patent fees to the United States each year.
This is not a small sum.
Therefore, patents are well protected internationally. For example, Bomi's mobile phone patent this time has passed China's review and issued a patent.
Then even if it is not passed in the United States, it is difficult to apply for related patents in their country.
There is another point that can be considered, that is, the United States is a capital country. As the world's first smart phone, Bomi mobile phone will drive a huge market in the future. According to the current estimation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is at least a trillion-level market.
The United States has no reason to prevent them from entering. Bomi smartphones have actually begun to build offline sales chain stores in the United States, which will bring them a lot of income and employment.
The interest demands among the states of the U.S. are also not the same. Only two points are more unified, that is, making money and getting jobs.
So the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Li Ministry comforted Cao Yang and said that you don't need to worry too much about patents. You can do a good job of mobile phones and upgrade the technology. As long as you open up the market and expand your influence, it will naturally happen, and everything will happen.
Its own technical strength is strong, and it is the kingly way to do it in the economic market.
During the meeting, the above collected some current problems and suggestions that companies are encountering, and at the same time stated that the state will support and communicate with them to open up channels for the smooth implementation of related industries. After that, they expressed their optimism about the future of the Internet industry, and then ended the meeting. .
When everyone walked out of the meeting room, there were expressions of relief on their faces.
President Ren walked to the door and shook hands with Boss Cao.
"Bomi did a great job this time."
The emergence of smart phones is really a great thing for mutual benefit. Previously, our country was quite backward in the mobile phone industry, and everyone used basically foreign mobile phones.
Although Huawei started mobile phone research and development 2 years ago, it is still the old way of Nokia keyboard operation. After seeing Bomi's smart phone design, Mr. Ren decisively gave up on mobile phone research and development.
Because for Huawei, this thing has lost its original meaning.
In the future, there will be such a powerful and innovative product. Those old guys and old ideas should be swept into the pile of old papers.
"Thank you, thank you," Cao Yang clasped his hand tightly, "This time Bomi's smart phone can be developed successfully. It really cannot do without Huawei, and it cannot do without the support of so many excellent manufacturers from above and in China."
Without Huawei's mobile communication technology, without Huawei's support in chip design, I am afraid that Bomi will have a long way to go.
So Cao Yang thanked Mr. Ren from the bottom of his heart.
"Huawei is really a great company, and we are willing to work **** technology. We lack such courage and persistence." Cao Yang said.
"Where and where..." Mr. Ren waved his hand with a happily smile.
"All right," he patted Cao Yang **** the shoulder, "I hope that Bomi smartphone will win, and we can have more cooperation in the future."
"Thank you." Cao Yang said with a smile.
He looked at Mr. Ren's figure disappearing into the car holding an umbrella, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Indeed, it is really not easy to accomplish such a thing.
Fortunately, there are so many reliable predecessors and a strong country as the backing, which gives Cao Yang a lot of confidence.
On September 1, 2006, Bomi Company held a Bomi smartphone launch conference in the Imperial Capital National Tsing Hua University.
According to the normal process, Cao Yang should release his smartphone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona every February, but he can't wait.
Bomi can't wait.
The world can't wait.
People are already hungry and thirsty.
