Chapter 403 Are the insects brave enough? Can stand a few slaps from Lao Tzu!
However, the wind and waves rose much faster than anyone imagined.
Because the opening announcement of the just-concluded "Bolang Research" global conference is not a standard press conference procedure, and also because the amount of information revealed in this announcement is too large.
So much so that the important figures of Bolang Group, Wen Liang and Li Ze, were ‘chased’ by media reporters after they walked out of the venue.
The real-time interview started directly with a face-off.
Of course, this is because Wen Liang and the others did not refuse such an interview, otherwise the media reporters would really have trouble getting through.
Even the security work of the main figures of the Bolang Group is better than that of some unnamed person who is not having a good life.
Not to mention Wen Liang's own security.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen, thank you, Mr. Ze."
The media reporter politely exchanged greetings, and then directly asked the question: "Mr. Ze, when did your company start to develop its own operating system, and for what reasons did it not be announced to the public until today?"
Of course, Li Ze was well prepared for such a question. He pretended to clear his throat, and then answered: "Since taking over the independent research and development work carried out by Xingchen Studio, we believe that as the mobile Internet enters every corner of life,
, competition will be everywhere, and competitiveness will only be reflected in core technologies;
In fact, we have no active plan to keep it public. Previously, it was because the technical conditions were immature. The star kernel fully considered compatibility in the early stages of research and can be applied to various types of platforms."
The implication is very clear.
Before the closed research by relevant units is completed, Bolang's so-called technical conditions are not mature.
As for why?
There is no need to ask why when riding a horse.
As Bolang continues to advance related matters, the Star System has now begun to develop into a comprehensive ecological environment. The value of such a highly commercial, independent and controllable operating system is completely different.
The breadth of application fields is also very impressive.
Let's put it this way, when there was no Starlight language and only a semi-finished ecS development environment, the military science and other units were already very satisfied.
Because of the basic tools, some semi-core military software systems can also be switched smoothly.
If you want to ask why the military science and technology department doesn’t develop a separate set... Of course it exists, and it must be available on core and key equipment, but for non-core ones, there is nothing you can do about it, and you still have to use Windows.
The reason is actually the ecological compatibility and dependence brought by the wintel alliance.
The ecological compatibility between Windows and X86 developed over many years has penetrated into every corner of electronic products.
Acquisitions, licensing purchases, etc. essentially cannot change the status quo where the core is controlled by others. In the end, only self-research can have 100% control.
The first question is quite satisfactory.
The second question is similar.
The concern is about the core components of Lingyi: "As for the discovery of organic light-emitting materials mentioned by Academician Cao, does it mean that Bolang's terminal products on OLED screens can get rid of the supply systems of Samsung, LG and other companies in the future?"
Li Ze replied with a smile: "That's not entirely true. If screen panel manufacturers such as Samsung and LG need it, we can't supply them with substrates."
"As for our procurement cooperation with Samsung and other screen manufacturers, the contract has been fulfilled."
"The limited supply of Xinghai Tablet 1 is due to the insufficient production capacity of the Bolang factory and the limited actual purchase quantity of some core components. In short, before April, all the materials required to produce 9.99 million units of Xinghai Tablet 1 have been centralized procurement
In place.”
A reporter asked on the spot: "Why did Mr. Ze emphasize this detail?"
Li Ze's mouth turned down with a half-smile smile: "It can be understood that it is to reassure consumers. No matter what Bolang will encounter next, Xinghai Tablet 1 can guarantee a supply of 9.99 million units. It is nothing more than production.
Line production efficiency."
Another reporter asked: "What about the screens of the next generation Xinghai mobile phone products?"
"It has been mentioned at the press conference." Li Ze changed his attitude, "Bolang Terminal and CSOT have reached a strategic cooperation. The cooperation includes the production and supply of small-size OLED screens for Bolang Terminal with a separate production line."
"In terms of pursuing experience, I think Bolang Terminal is worthy of trust, because this strategic investment involves an additional 10 billion cash investment in addition to technology assets."
A reporter once again confirmed: "In other words, Bolang's terminal products have got rid of dependence on world-class screen manufacturers such as Samsung?"
Li Ze gave an affirmative answer: "It can be understood that the screen supplier of the next generation of Xinghai products will only be CSOT. Everyone has already seen the substrate, and we will not rush to launch disappointing products."
In fact, more than three months have passed since the strategic cooperation between Bolang and CSOT.
We have a harmonious relationship with the upper management and very, very abundant funds, so the progress of the project is unimaginable.
China Star Optoelectronics issued a military order in April, stating that even if it attempts violently at intervals of one percentage point, it will have a new generation of screen panels by August.
Again, the aesthetics of violence is the most elegant existence in the development of technological products.
As long as someone makes this product and mass-produces it, then it can definitely be tried violently, because there is no need to make something out of nothing.
It’s just that in many cases, endless trial funds simply don’t exist for most projects.
For commercial companies, business costs are always a stumbling block.
However, none of these are problems for Bolang, who is helmed by Wen Liang. His ultimate totemic pursuit of autonomy and control makes him not care about costs at all.
Wen Liang's confidence stems from the fact that Bolang has never made any original technology and is trying to cross the river with ready-made products, so he is confident that he can use the market economy to spread the initial research and development costs.
Star Ocean 1 is a clear example.
All the early investments became insignificant after Xinghai 1 surpassed iPhone 5 in many aspects such as product strength, experience, and concept.
Not only that, the great success of Xinghai 1 also contributed nearly 80 billion in net profits to Bolang Group.
Now let’s assume that China Star Optoelectronics is extremely unlucky. After making breakthroughs in base materials and accumulating panel integrated manufacturing technology, it finally spent 10 billion in cash to get the screen that Bolang terminal needs, and it probably only needs to be shipped.
Shipping 100 million screens can even out the initial investment.
Taking the market value of the screen used in the iPhone 5 as an example, it is about 240 to 260 yuan. The sales of 100 million units will be at least 24 billion. No matter how much you invest, you will not lose much money.
At the same time, the investment of the next generation will be astonishingly small. Once it is born, it will be cooked twice, and it will never change.
And it doesn’t necessarily mean that we can only ship 100 million copies.
After all, the same base material and production experience can be used not only for small-sized OLED screens, but also for slightly larger-sized OLED screens, such as tablets and laptops.
It's not just one generation.
Even if there are major breakthroughs in other base materials on the market, it is normal for the current results to take three or four years - because the screen can continue to be distributed to other brands of mid-to-low-end products in the future.
Bolang Terminal is not the only mobile phone manufacturer.
Not to mention, manufacturers such as MOV currently do not have the ability to pursue high-end products. If they can use such a good screen in their products next year, they will be willing to bear the cost.
Because... I have no choice.
After several key questions about the screen and other aspects, the reporter asked about the chip: "Mr. Ze, some netizens think that the latest Shenlong M1 chip released by your company is also self-developed. What do you think about this?"
Li Ze replied lightly: "Not according to Bolang's standards, but the Shenlong series has passed the threshold of the current common standards around the world. Anyway, we no longer bother to compare with Qualcomm Snapdragon and Apple A series. The excellent people of Shenlong M1
visible."
…………
Seeing that Mr. Ze started to be "invincible" again, the media reporters began to turn to Wen Liang.
I also asked a few questions.
Wen Liang's answer was straightforward: "I am not responsible for specific affairs. For more information, please pay attention to the progress of the developer conference."
Then a reporter came out and said: "Mr. Wen, I have an administrative question about your company."
Without waiting for Wen Liang to nod, the reporter asked eagerly: "The average salary level of your company's positions is generally far higher than the market salary for the same position. Some people believe that this is destroying the rules of the market economy, destroying the industry's development ecology, increasing the industry's employment costs, and creating a de facto talent pool."
Monopoly, what do you think?"
Wen Liang looked at the reporter: "I think you are not just a salary earner. Remember to wear a mask when you go out."
Then Wen Liang looked at all the guns and cannons in front of him: "I don't know who is instigating or advocating."
"The person who put forward this point of view probably lives a good life, knows nothing about daily necessities, has a lot of book knowledge, but doesn't pretend to be human at all!"
“Bolang has a very professional remuneration committee and a very professional human resources system. It conducts scientific research and investigation on the dynamic adjustment of salary. What does the salary level in the talent market have to do with Bolang?
The starting point of Bolang's basic salary is only based on whether employees can live a decent life in the city where they work. The starting point of salary is not to give them a pitiful amount of money to barely make ends meet!
Thinking about the market? Have you considered that employees who contribute to the development of the company are independent individuals with personality?
Water, electricity, rent, commuting and food are all free things? Have you calculated the cost?
If you don’t know what it means to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and only know how to reduce employment costs, then you shouldn’t learn how to start a company, but first learn how to be a human being!
Some people really don’t know their last name after taking two sips of foreign ink!”
"I'll put my words here. My Bolang can afford to pay, so I'm so crazy! It only took one year for Bolang to go from a monthly revenue of several million to a monthly revenue of hundreds of billions.
You have a bad temper!"
As he said that, Wen Liang glanced at me casually: "I don't care about the clown behind you. Do you idiots have the guts to come at me directly? I want to see how many slaps you can withstand!"
Then Wen Liang walked forward directly, and the crowd of media reporters who were fighting with each other consciously separated.
Just watched Wen Liang get into the car and leave as if no one was around.
The place was extremely quiet.
At the same time, netizens who watched the live interview through various platforms were excited on the spot.
"Damn it, Mr. Wen is so handsome!"
"You're so handsome. No matter how invincible Mr. Ze is, he still doesn't look good in front of Mr. Wen~ I won't say much, but I like Mr. Wen's bad temper!"
"It's a good technical conference, but someone actually got involved in administrative matters, and actually attacked Bolang for giving more money to employees? It's really ridiculous! This reporter has no heart!"
"Mr. Wen has seen so clearly, and he is so gentle. I cried to death that he actually asked this scoundrel to wear a mask when going out. If I were to go out, I would just want to hit him..."
"Brothers, brothers, can anyone tell me what happened? What happened to Bolang's salary?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Just go to work in Bolang if you can afford it. The treatment at Bolang is really socialist. The word "decent life" is really luxurious."
ID1323230: "I went to Bolang for an interview before and I said my expected salary was 2,500. The interviewer told me that this was not enough for Bolang's starting salary. He also said that considering my overall conditions, it would be more appropriate to apply for a base salary of 5,500. I was dumbfounded at the time.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t go due to some personal reasons.”
A Bolang employee who cannot be named said: “When I go to other companies for interviews, the HR staff can’t wait to look at people with their nostrils, and some of them don’t recruit people at all just to complete HR’s own KPIs. Just find any reason and people will waste two or three hours;
I went to Bolang for an interview before, and for the first time I felt that I was treated equally. The manpower was very patient and efficient, and would not waste time. I thought my market value was only 7,000 a month. The second manpower review said I should report it as 10,000.
, and then...I found a job with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan."
A little sweet flower: "Hey, I didn't get an interview at Bolang, but Bolang's HR taught me how to change my resume to be more suitable. Now I have found the job I like. It's a pity to miss Bolang, but maybe this is called
It’s fate.”
Yan: "I'm different. I passed Bolang. Later, Bolang gave me a friendly return visit and asked me why I didn't choose Bolang. They also asked me about my impression of Bolang. I thought about it.
I didn’t go anyway, for fear of being caught off guard, so I gave several suggestions in one breath. Then my classmate went for an interview and found that it had been changed, just a small detail in the reception area of Bolang headquarters.”
"I know, I know, but I won't say it."
Handsome guy from grade 11 of the University of Science and Technology of China: "Students at school join in the fun. You can often see editor's articles on the Internet complaining about Bolang's part-time outsourcing development positions in colleges and universities across the country. They talk about squeezing and so on. I happen to be one of them. Not to mention, the part-time income is
The internship salary is higher than that of the seniors I know, and the part-time position can also share the project bonus. Although the amount is not high, we do not have as much work as full-time development, and even if the part-time job stops for a while, Bolang will still work on the project
I hope companies across the country will learn from this kind of squeeze by re-paying bonuses after a successful launch."
The cameraman took the lead: "It's still the familiar Mr. Wen. He can see people. Some people may be stealing chickens but losing rice. I just sit back and watch the show."
No one expected that provocations surrounding technical matters would eventually erupt in a huge way on administrative matters.
No one expected that Wen Liang would defend the rights of beaten workers so resolutely, saying harsh words directly on the spot, and anyone with a heart could see how wide the range of interests would be touched by saying these words in public.
For example, some bosses may think that when giving high wages to employees, they must consider whether other companies in the same industry can afford it.
Whether employees can live a decent life is not considered.
If you want to argue, you can also find supporting points, such as the sensational view that companies cannot bear it and then go bankrupt, triggering a wave of unemployment.
However, many companies have proved it with their ultra-high development: high wages and benefits, coupled with an excellent promotion and promotion system, and the greatest advantage of private companies, the ability to fire employees at will. When combined, they can exert their greatest potential.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of distribution.
When many people become bosses, no matter how little they are given out, they still feel that they can be reduced. Some people will label this exploitative behavior as human selfishness.
