Chapter 130 Becoming The Overlord Of Mobile Phone Chips In The 3G Era
A semiconductor laboratory in the Seoul Development Zone.
Researchers are working meticulously.
After buying YG Electromechanical, Li Xun officially changed its name to Longteng Haili Semiconductor Technology Company.
He has successively invested nearly 3 billion US dollars in research funds in chip research and development.
Large and small laboratories have been established in the park.
Because of Li Xun's visit, Dean Ni put down his chip project today and waited eagerly at the door.
Dean Ni looked solemn and frowned, as if he had encountered some difficulty. Even when Li Xun got off the car, he was still immersed in thinking.
"Academician Ni, did you encounter any difficulties?"
"According to your request, we are studying the leap from 2G mobile phone chip technology to 2G/3G multi-mode chips, and now we have made breakthrough progress!"
"Have you developed 2G and 3G compatible chips?"
"This is a good thing. Why are the academicians so unhappy?"
These billions are worth spending. 3G technology was officially put into use in 2000. After mastering this technology, Li Xun's future mobile phone empire gradually took shape.
"It is indeed a good thing, but we have encountered new troubles."
"It is a big problem to have multiple wireless devices in a mobile phone. Nowadays, there are multiple chips in a mobile phone, involving functions such as Bluetooth, FM, and WIFI technology. So many chips are placed in the areas you require. That wouldn’t work in a flaky phone.”
Li Xun understood what Dean Ni meant. Too many chips meant more losses, and the larger the mobile phone battery needed. With so many parts put together, it would be difficult for the mobile phone to be thin and beautiful.
Of course, Li Xun would not have any insights into such a complex technical problem.
But he thought of a weird company that makes DVDs.
From a small company making DVD integrated chips, it has become the dominant player in mobile phone chips in the 3G era.
The reason why Li Xun knew this company was because in his previous life, his first mobile phone came from this semiconductor company.
At that time, the chips of knockoff smartphones that could be bought in China for a few hundred yuan were all from MediaTek.
MediaTek staged a counterattack trick.
In the era when DVDs were popular.
MediaTek is still just a manufacturer that studies optical disk storage technology and DVD chips.
The core competitiveness is to integrate the two chips responsible for video and digital decoding functions in DVD into one chip and provide software solutions.
It occupied 60% of the market share in a short period of time.
In the era of 3G smartphones, MediaTek repeated its old tricks and integrated all functional chips into one chip, which greatly reduced the technical threshold for mobile phone production and was very popular among domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
A few hundred yuan can buy a semi-smart phone with Internet access, which has led to the proliferation of copycat mobile phones in China.
Even Apple mobile phones later gave up Samsung as an OEM and instead cooperated with MediaTek, which is cheaper and more efficient.
At this point, MediaTek has completed the counterattack of DVD integrated chips towards the dominance of mobile phone chips.
Although he does not understand MediaTek's specific integration plan, it does not prevent Li Xun from giving some suggestions to Dean Ni.
"Dean Ni, I have noticed that a DVD chip manufacturer in Wandao is studying the integration of video and digital decoding chips into one chip. Do you think we can do the same with our mobile phone 3G chips? "
Hearing this, Academician Ni seemed to be possessed. After thinking for a while, he felt that integrating this solution was feasible. It would not only reduce unnecessary functional losses, but also reduce the space occupied by multiple chips. .
Performance efficiency is not as simple as one plus one plus one.
"Okay, I didn't expect that President Li would also do research on chips. It really enlightened me!"
Li Xun waved his hand sheepishly.
MediaTek has become the overlord of mobile phone chips in the 3G era by virtue of its integrated technology. If this technology is mastered by its research laboratory, Haidili will definitely develop more rapidly than in history.
Inspired, Academician Ni even wanted to put aside Li Xun and immediately invest in chip integration research.
Seeing this, Li Xun nodded, these billions of R&D investments are worth it.
During this trip to the park, in addition to inspecting dozens of large and small scientific research laboratories, the most important thing was to meet the exchange students from Long Country.
Li Zheng donated money to the institutions of higher learning in Longguo to fund the school, but he did not get nothing.
We have established friendly cooperative relations with several colleges and universities in Longguo.
Every year, universities send a large number of top students to study in Longteng, and most of them will become interns in various scientific research laboratories.
Excellent candidates can get jobs provided by Longteng.
Li Xun still attaches great importance to these reserve talents.
He specially asked his secretary Izumi Mitsui to prepare a gift from Shihan Technology for dozens of interns.
At this time, in the scientific research classroom, a group of boys and girls around 20 years old were having a heated discussion.
The object of their discussion is the WIFI technology developed by Longteng!
"Wireless network technology was invented by graduates from the University of Sydney in Australia. They applied for an invention patent in the United States in 1996. This is undoubtedly true, but it is also true that our Longteng Research Laboratory has improved wireless network technology. Now Longteng has the most advanced wireless network technology in the world, and this is also a fact!"
"What did I say wrong?"
The boy who said this was Wang Tao, an exchange student sent by Hong Kong City University. He and a classmate who also came from Hong Kong City had a disagreement over who was the best in wireless network technology.
Students who disagree with him firmly believe that the wireless network technology invented by Australia's CSIRO is the highest standard in the world.
The reason for the disagreement is that the US-based IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) recently publicly announced that it would position CSIRO's wireless network technology as a unified global standard.
This has caused scientific researchers around the world to have the illusion that CSIRO's wireless network technology is the best wireless network technology in the world.
Wang Tao and a group of classmates are complaining about Longteng Technology.
The reason why IEEE is on the side of Australia will naturally not be elaborated on.
What they didn't know was that Li Xun, who was standing outside, saw their quarrel.
Izumi Mitsui wanted to end this meaningless quarrel, but was stopped by Li Xun.
Because he saw an extremely pure-looking beautiful student standing in the middle of the two groups.
"Listen to me, you two are constantly arguing, so why not conduct an experiment to find out whether Longteng's WIFI technology or CSIRO's wireless network technology is better? After a comparison, you can naturally tell the difference!"
In fact, Li Xun knew the result without comparing.
The WIFI technology funded and named by him can reach a rate of 54Mbps in the 2.4GHz frequency band!
The wireless network technology developed by the CSIRO scientific research team has a rate of only 11Mbps in the same frequency band.
The reason why the American IEEE Engineering Association is so anxious to publish a unified world standard is simply because it is afraid that latecomers will catch up and seize their market.
The experimental results were just as Li Xun expected.
CSIRO’s wireless network is not only slow, but also extremely unstable!
In comparison, Longteng's WIFI is fast and stable.
The whole laboratory burst into cheers.
A boy who is hit is like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Classmate Zhang Jing, do you also want to hit me with a few words?" The reason why the boy was so arrogant was just to attract the attention of beautiful Zhang Jing. Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot. He didn't even pretend to be 13 and was wanged. Thao slapped him hard in the face.
It's really embarrassing.
"No, I just want to remind you, don't worship foreigners all day long and think about studying in the United States. Longteng is rising strongly. Not only is it leading the major powers in wireless network technology, but it is also a world-class existence in chip technology!"
"That's very well said!" Li Xun couldn't help but applaud in agreement.
Everyone looked towards the door, not knowing when Li Dazaibol stood outside the door.
"What's your name, classmate?"
Zhang Jing's eyes lit up when she saw the person coming, and she quickly introduced:
"Hello Mr. Li Xun, I am Zhang Jing from Qingbei, and I am currently an intern in the chip research laboratory!"
"You are right. Longteng has registered 1,100 technology patents in the past two years, and they are all world-leading key technologies.
Everyone was surprised. Wang Tao and Zhang Jing both looked at Li Xun with admiration.
Only the boy curled his lips in disdain.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Guan Yu."
When Li Xun first heard the name, he thought it sounded a bit familiar, a bit like the name of a certain artificial intelligence tycoon.
"Guan Yu, do you know how much money I have invested in technological innovation?"
"One billion?"
Li Xun shook his head and held out two fingers:
"I have invested nearly 20 billion US dollars in research funds in the technology sector, and will increase this investment every year. "It will not be less than 10 billion US dollars every year!"
All the interns couldn't help but exclaimed.
Even Guan Yu looked surprised.
"Although the European and American powers have set up many obstacles to Longteng, I believe that Longteng will catch up sooner or later in high-tech areas such as artificial intelligence.
He changed the topic and said to many interns:
"And I believe that you are the hope of Longteng in the future. Some of you will definitely make achievements with my funding, and maybe you will also become tycoons in the technology industry in the future!
Wang Tao was excited. He had liked model airplanes since he was a child. Li Xun's words rekindled his childhood ideal. .
