Chapter three hundred and thirty first selling dog meat

Different from when Song Yang came here before, the current small industrial park has been renovated. At least the door number has been replaced by the Alcatel mobile phone flag. Standing at the door are the personnel of the Blackwater Security Company with thick waists.

A real guy with a Colt m1911.

Now, companies such as Alcatel Mobile, American Telecom, ICQ, and Western Pictures all have security personnel, especially American Telecom, which has contributed nearly a hundred security positions to Blackwater Security.

Now America Telecom is opening stores in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, etc., under the name of handling broadband services, and is preparing to sell mobile phones.

It is unknown whether Alcatel mobile phones will develop, but America Telecom is expected to open hundreds of stores this year. After the mobile phone retail business starts, if the revenue can meet expectations, America Telecom will open more stores.

Mobile phone sales store!

When Song Yang entered the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park, he saw that office buildings and factories had been opened. The office building was now used as a laboratory, and an experimental production line was being debugged in the factory.

"Boss!"

After entering the small industrial park, Eltian brought a group of newly recruited management personnel to see Song Yang.

The new management in the industry include professional managers recruited from Wall Street, and some were poached from some companies. At this moment, a group of senior executives following Eltian looked at Song Yang with some uneasiness.

Song Yang's "bloodbath" of the Alcatel mobile phone management team completely changed his reputation among professional managers in America and Europe. There are also various rumors about Song Yang.

Various rumors such as firing professional managers at the slightest disagreement, being the most cold-blooded financial sponsor in history, all appeared on Song Yang.

However, the Alcatel mobile phone executives who followed Eltian saw Song Yang with a gentle smile on his face, a face like a Hollywood boy. When they met these executives, their attitude was also very gentle.

.

"Now Alcatel's hardware and software laboratories have been established, mainly developing mobile phone hardware and Symbian systems!"

Eltian did not dare to take it lightly. The image of Song Yang in the study, casually shutting down the entire Alcatel mobile phone management team, was still imprinted in his mind.

Song Yang and Eltian entered the office building. More than 400 R&D personnel from Europe, plus those recruited from America, brought the number of Alcatel mobile phone R&D personnel to a thousand.

many.

If you add in the cooperating personnel from Bell Labs, PA Semiconductor, America Telecom, etc., the R&D team in this building has now expanded to nearly 1,500 people. Even in the entire mobile phone industry, it has already reached an unprecedented level.

Not too little.

"This is a parts laboratory. What is being developed now is the built-in antenna..."

After Song Yang entered a laboratory, Eltian introduced to Song Yang that Song Yang's request completely changed the layout of the entire mobile phone. There are nearly 80 engineers on the Alcatel mobile phone side.

There are also professors invited from San Jose University and Stanford as consultants, specializing in the development of built-in antenna technology.

"This is a wireless communications laboratory that cooperates with American Telecom and Bell Labs."

This laboratory is used to develop mobile Internet technology. There are also a number of engineers who are constantly debugging and developing, and the progress is not fast.

Later, Song Yang also visited the laboratory of various components such as screens, batteries, motherboards, etc. Even if Alcatel mobile phones are self-developed, they can basically only develop a dozen of the most important components, all the components of a mobile phone.

, there are thousands of them, and they still need to be purchased from partners.

"Song!"

In the processor laboratory, Song Yang met Wolong Fengxiao, Dobber Poole and Jim Keller from PA Semiconductor who were busy.

The first processor developed by PA Semiconductor was a mobile phone processor chip for Alcatel mobile phones.

Jim Keller was responsible for developing the architecture for this processor, and Doberpool was responsible for turning Jim Keller's design drawings into reality.

"Because of the functional requirements of Alcatel mobile phones, the requirements for this mobile phone processor are much higher than other mobile phone processors!"

Jim Keller, who is responsible for the development architecture, told Song Yang, Eltian and others that Alcatel's new generation mobile phone needs powerful mobile phone processing to support the Symbian system, Internet access, games, emails and other functions.

devices to support these functions.

"The architecture of this processor still uses the arm architecture, using a 32-bit CPU, which puts instructions, memory, cache, and management units all together. In addition, it can provide instructions to the Symbian operating system separately, and can handle multiple

Signals, and apps!”

The last sentence is the key. With this thing, you can use multiple functions without letting your phone freeze.

The mobile phone chip designed by Jim Keller for Alcatel mobile phones does sound powerful enough, but it is not that easy to build this thing.

"Currently, the most technologically advanced mobile phone processor is Texas Instruments, followed by Motorola and other manufacturers. If Alcatel Mobile Phone wants to produce this chip, I'm afraid it will need to cooperate with Texas Instruments or Motorola!"

Doberpur also said to Song Yang that the competition in the mobile phone chip industry is not as fierce as that of computer chips. After all, the functions of mobile phones are still in the "use" stage. There are not so many functions, and the requirements for mobile phone processors are not that high.

.

But after Alcatel’s new mobile phone, it is estimated that a new era of mobile phone function requirements will be ushered in, and the requirements for mobile phone processors will naturally become higher and higher.

But even if the required processor technology is not too high, PA Semiconductor's current empty shelf does not have the technology to produce this chip at all. It needs to use the production lines of Texas Instruments or Motorola.

Doberpur seemed to understand Song Yang's thoughts and reminded, "If PA Semiconductor sets up its own production line, or seeks cooperation with other manufacturers, I am afraid that the pass rate and cost will be much higher!"

The Alcatel mobile phone chip has high requirements, and the cost is much higher than the current mainstream mobile phone industry processors. If the pass rate problem is added, the cost of this chip will probably make Alcatel mobile phones even more expensive.

Feeling uncomfortable.

After hearing what Doberpur said, Song Yang just nodded and did not immediately express his position. He said to Doberpur, Jim Keller and others, "PA Semiconductor, please complete the development of the Alcatel mobile phone processor as soon as possible!"

"When the development of this chip is completed, I promised that PA Semiconductor will also be completed!"

After Song Yang drew a big pie for Doberpur and others, he left with Eltian and others.

Hearing Song Yang's words, chip engineers such as Doberpur and Jim Keller couldn't help but get excited. When Song Yang acquired PA Semiconductor, he promised them that he would acquire ARM from Apple for PA Semiconductor in the future.

, even the semiconductor department of dec was included in pa’s pocket!

Watching Song Yang leave, Doberpur looked at a group of engineers from the DEC semiconductor department. If Song Yang could really acquire ARM and DEC semiconductors for PA, plus the support of Bell Labs, then

It’s hard to say that PA here can really produce Alcatel mobile phone processors, but the production cost and defective rate may be higher than Texas Instruments or Motorola. If Song Yang is willing to bear the cost...

After leaving the laboratory, Eltian looked at Song Yang, hesitating to speak. He also saw what Song Yang was thinking about, including the key components of Alcatel mobile phones, technology research and development, and chip production.

As for the industrial chain, Song Yang obviously wants to have Alcatel Mobile Phones in his hands.

But as a result, the cost of Alcatel mobile phones is destined to be much higher. Now Eltian is worried that if Alcatel sells new mobile phones, the price will be higher than that of Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, etc.

, I don’t know how big the market will be.

After looking at various laboratories, Song Yang came to the Alcatel mobile phone design department. There were obviously many more Asian faces here, and there were also many people speaking Japanese with Japanese accents. They were obviously from Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, etc.

The manufacturer provides the manpower poached.

"Do you think buyers will accept such a design?!"

Facing the first version of the mobile phone design manuscript sent by the head of the design department, Song Yang only took one look at it and threw it aside.

The design department, in addition to exterior design, is also responsible for internal design. They make requirements, and then each parts department develops qualified parts. No matter which company or product, the design department is the most important.

Easy to take the blame.

Anyway, after the user buys it, if it doesn’t work well for him or her, the designer will always be the first to scold him. If he calls to complain, the designer will always be the first to be punished.

Seeing Song Yang, they directly rejected their first version of the design. Several supervisors in the design department suddenly became sad. Although they knew that Song Yang might not be satisfied, the direct rejection still made all the designers a little bit agitated.

have no choice.

For these engineers, removing the long antenna of the mobile phone and redesigning a new mobile phone is nothing less than a huge change.

The staff of Alcatel's mobile phone design department designed a new mobile phone with an S-shaped appearance, using mechanics and ergonomics. It is already a major breakthrough. The preset is 480 hours of standby time, 130 minutes of talk time, plus various

These functions are very powerful, but the weight has reached 170 grams, which is almost equivalent to half a catty. When you go out, you can not only make calls with this thing, but also defend yourself. You can hit it with a mobile phone, and you can be sure to lie directly on the opposite side.
