Chapter 179 Everything is ready (5.7k)

"Hello, Fujio Sugaoka, congratulations to your team for developing multi-layer storage MLC structure flash memory. However, single-layer storage SLC structure flash memory must also be paid attention to. MLC flash memory and SLC flash memory each have their own merits, and each has a wide range of applications.

!”

Zhao Ye smiled and shook hands with Fujio Shimooka and said.

The advantage of the multi-layer storage MLC structure is its large storage capacity, but it also has many shortcomings.

The first thing to bear the brunt is that the service life of MLC is shorter than that of SLC. The MLC architecture can only withstand 10,000 erases and writes, while the SLC architecture can withstand 100,000 erases and writes.

Secondly, the access speed is slow. Under the current technical conditions, the theoretical access speed of MLC chip can only reach about 6MB, while the access speed of SLC architecture is more than three times faster than that of MLC architecture!

Also, the current consumption of MLC is higher than that of SLC. If MLC is compared with SLC under the same conditions of use, the current consumption of MLC is about 15% more than that of SLC.

However, ordinary consumers currently pay more attention to the size of storage capacity.

Therefore, the multi-layered storage MLC architecture is the focus of research by Fujio Sugaoka's team.

Shigaoka Fujio also understood what Zhao Ye meant and couldn't help but nodded to express his understanding.

"Some people in our team have been studying the single-layer storage SLC architecture to maintain a leading position in this direction. At present, the flash memory of the single-layer storage SLC architecture is too expensive and difficult to commercialize. It still needs

Keep improving.”

"Well, this is the best arrangement." Zhao Ye nodded with a smile, paused, and then warned, "Oh, by the way, U disk, CF card and SSD solid state drive must also be produced quickly.

U disks are divided into three specifications: 100MB, 250MB, and 500MB, and their retail prices are US$100, US$250, and US$500 respectively.

1MB is worth one dollar!

Children and old men are not deceived!

The CF card is mainly composed of a control chip and a flash memory chip. One flash memory chip has 50MB. In other words, the current storage capacity of the CF card is only 50MB. If we sell it for $50, we will of course lose money. So,

CF cards cost at least $200.

As for SSD solid state drives, this is calculated based on one dollar per MB. As for the SSD solid state drive with the capacity we want to launch..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ye became slightly thoughtful.

When Fujio Shigaoka heard this, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and thought, it must be the boss who sets the price. I don't dare to think so, I'm afraid I will make crazy money~

Zhao Ye did not notice the expression of Fujio Shimooka at this time. He was recalling the development of hard drives of his main competitors.

At the beginning of this year, IBM invented MR (Magneto Resistive) technology. This new type of magnetic head uses magnetic induction writing and magnetoresistive reading, which greatly improves the sensitivity of the magnetic head and greatly improves the working efficiency of the hard disk. At the same time,

The storage density of the disk has increased dozens of times compared with the previous 20Mbpsi (bit/square inch), laying the foundation for the huge increase in hard disk capacity.

IBM will soon pioneer consumer-grade GB hard drives.

If Wujiang Group had not developed flash memory with a multi-layer storage MLC architecture, it might not even be qualified to compete with IBM.

IBM consumer-grade GB hard drives are of the 3.5-inch standard and are larger in size.

If used on a laptop, it will look a bit bloated.

For the same 1GB hard drive, the size of the SSD is several times smaller than the IBM mechanical hard drive, so the SSD solid state drive is very suitable for use in laptop computers.

Wujiang can develop 1GB and 2GB SSD solid state drives, but it only sells 1GB SSD externally, while the 2GB SSD is mainly used in its own desktops and laptops to enhance its competitiveness.

After Zhao Ye clarified his ideas, he asked Fujio Sugaoka to develop 1GB and 2GB SSD solid state drives.

Fujio Sugaoka quickly said that there was no problem, but more people needed to be recruited, and they were a bit busy with just their staff.

"You can just recruit people. Just hire whatever talents you need. The development potential of flash memory is beyond your imagination. In the future, the market of flash memory will be very huge, with many product lines and extremely wide applications."

"Okay, boss!" Fujio Shigaoka responded. He was very excited. He couldn't wait to recruit a large number of talents to join the flash memory department, and then work hard to prove the value of flash memory to the world! Of course, the most disappointing thing was

The most exciting thing for Fujio Sugaoka is to see the regretful face of his old club Toshiba...

"Work hard, Fujio Shioka, success is just around the corner! As the 'Father of Flash Memory', you will definitely become famous all over the world!" Zhao Ye encouraged Fujio Shioka by patting him on the shoulder, and then said goodbye to him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ye went to the MPEG-1 decoding chip department and also encouraged the development team to continue their efforts and design better decoding chips.

Zhao Ye talked with the developers for a long time, talking about the MPEG-2 video format and compression algorithm in detail, and pointed out the ideas for developing MPEG-2 decoding chips for the technicians.

Currently, the encoding used by VCD is MPEG-I technology, the image resolution can only reach about 240 lines, and the sound is only a simple two-channel, so it is not very good in terms of image and sound quality, functions, performance, etc.

.

Super VCD uses MPEG-II encoding technology, with sound up to 4-channel stereo and image resolution up to 350 lines, which can basically reach the highest resolution of domestic TV sets in the 1990s.

Zhao Ye always likes to launch the first-generation product, and then immediately research the next-generation product to always maintain a technological lead.

Although DVD is stronger than Super VCD, it is more difficult to develop after all. Wujiang Group can practice with Super VCD first. Super VCD uses the same MPEG-II encoding technology as DVD, which will be of great help to the future development of DVD.

Unknowingly, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost time to get off work, so Zhao Ye left Loongson Company.

On the way back, Zhao Ye became more and more interested in super VCD.

If the current video recorders can compete with VCDs in terms of picture quality, then when it comes to super VCDs, the video recorders will be completely destroyed.

Families in Western countries all use video recorders. It is not impossible for Wujiang Group to use VCD to pry open the door, but it is just a little more difficult. If the VCD is replaced with a super VCD, let alone prying the door, they can directly break into the house and rob it. The other party will be willing to take out the money...

"VCD was first launched in developing countries. Firstly, these countries have not yet had time to be occupied by video recorders. Secondly, VCDs are cheaper than video recorders. Thirdly, pirated optical discs are low-cost and can be easily popularized."

"When super VCD is developed, we must enter the Western market as soon as possible! While DVD has not yet been developed, we can make a lot of money from it!"

Zhao Ye smiled, it was so cool to cheat!

How to develop and how to win, you all know it clearly!

…

It was around 10 o'clock in the morning the next day.

"Boss, Wang Fulin, the director of "A Dream of Red Mansions" just called. He said that the production of "A Dream of Red Mansions" has been completed and has been submitted for review. It is planned to be broadcast on CCTV 1 at 8 o'clock in the evening on July 1st!"

Liu Yinyin walked up to Zhao Ye and said with a smile, "Previously, Wujiang and "Journey to the West" jointly operated publicity operations, and the effect was remarkable, thus greatly increasing the influence of "Journey to the West". I guess Director Wang probably had this intention as well. ! ”

Zhao Ye put down the document and couldn't help but smile when he heard Liu Yinyin's guess: "Well, it should be so. You should contact Director Wang Fulin and say that Wujiang Group will operate in conjunction with "Dream of Red Mansions", and all the beverage brands under the group will be printed with " Stills from "A Dream of Red Mansions". In addition, the VCD products produced by Wujiang Group have been endorsed by several protagonists of "A Dream of Red Mansions"."

Originally "Dream of Red Mansions" was broadcast in 1987, and many plots in the novel did not appear on TV. However, after Wujiang Group invested funds, the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" wanted to film more sophisticatedly and completely restore the plot of "Dream of Red Mansions", so they decided to The filming took more than a year.

VCD is lucky now. Once "Dream of Red Mansions" was broadcast, who could be more popular than Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Jia Baoyu, Wang Xifeng...

The endorsement fees for domestic artists are very low, and Wujiang is an investor in "Dream of Red Mansions", so it is not easy for them to speak for themselves.

With the popularity of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the VCD is expected to become popular all over the country and then sell well all over the world!

Hearing this, Liu Yinyin nodded and said, "Okay, boss, I will contact Director Wang Fulin now."

As soon as Liu Yinyin left, Zhao Ye fell into deep thought about what brand name to give the VCD.

After thinking about it, I decided to call it "Borderless VCD", which seems to be okay.

The name Wujiang is very famous in China. It can be said that it is a household name. In the eyes of many people, Wujiang is a high-tech giant. "Wujiang + VCD" will naturally make people trust it - it is a high-tech product!

Not only domestically, but also abroad, there will be countless consumers heading towards the brand "Boundless".

Therefore, Zhao Ye thought twice and decided to use the brand name "Wujiang VCD".

…

…

But at this moment, Director Wang Fulin received a call from Zhao Ye’s secretary Liu Yinyin.

"Hello, Director Wang, I am Liu Yinyin, Zhao Ye's secretary. The boss plans to let Wujiang Group and "Xihonglou" jointly operate..."

Liu Yinyin explained Zhao Ye's intention to director Wang Fulin in detail, and said that the endorsement fee would be determined according to the role played, but it would start at least 100,000 yuan.

Director Wang Fulin became happier the more he listened.

With the cooperation of Wujiang Group, the ratings of "Dream of Red Mansions" will definitely soar.

Moreover, the main creators of Dream of Red Mansions have endorsed the VCD developed by Wujiang Group, and their income is very good, which can be regarded as compensation for the hardships they have suffered on the set in recent years.

The crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" is very poor, and all the money is spent on filming. The actors' remuneration is very low. Ouyang Fenqiang, the male lead who plays Jia Baoyu, earns 80 yuan per episode when there are many scenes, and 60 yuan when there are few scenes.

After filming "A Dream of Red Mansions", he received a total of more than 3,000 yuan...

The female lead, Chen Xiaoxu, who plays Lin Daiyu, only costs 60 yuan per episode.

The income of actors like them is far less than that of an ordinary worker.

At the same time, Hong Kong artists' incomes were much higher. The more popular artists earned as little as hundreds of thousands, to hundreds of thousands or millions of Hong Kong dollars, while top stars like Cheng Long earned at least five hundred.

More than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

For domestic actors, even if they become popular all over the country, their salary will not be very high.

Many domestic actors yearn to develop their careers in Hong Kong. They seem to think that actors there can make a lot of money and are superior to others.

Wujiang Group is relatively generous. They may have never encountered an endorsement fee starting at RMB 100,000.

After Director Wang Fulin hung up the phone, he was ready to mention it to Chen Xiaoxu, Ouyang Fenqiang and others.

Chen Xiaoxu, Ouyang Fenqiang and others were preparing to pack their things and go home.

Wang Fulin called them together.
