Chapter 450 Exaggerated Terminal Product Line Planning
There is a folk saying that goes, ‘you can see your heart when you open your mouth’.
Or something more informal.
‘You will know what you are going to fart as soon as you stick your butt out’
This statement is quite applicable to many people.
For example... between Wen Liang and Lao Miaotou.
They are all "angry youth" things that will make a hole in the sky after just one meal and three sips of wine.
The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother.
So Wen Liang got straight to the point, and without any hesitation, he spoke openly and honestly: "The main thing is to express my congratulations."
"Bolang Group operates well. It not only takes the absolute leading position in the industry in the domestic market, but also maintains industry-leading competitive advantages in the international market."
"The degree of industrial independence far exceeds that of its peers, and it has formed a strong independent brand advantage. It has become a leading domestic brand and a national product widely loved by the people!"
"Always adhere to the orientation of independent and controllable development, always adhere to the development strategy of making each generation stronger than the previous generation, always adhere to the leading competitive form with scientific and technological advantages, always adhere to science and technology for good, and always adhere to the people-oriented main form..."
"Persevere in exploring international market categories, compete with international companies in the international market, and gain a major market position and occupy a favorable market share..."
"Dare to fight hard, work tirelessly, and despite the international community's comprehensive restrictions, still maintain a very high development speed, not easily rely on the country, be self-reliant, talk less and do more..."
"We have spared no effort in building a localized semiconductor industry chain, developed a number, led a number, and formed a very large-scale industrial chain effect..."
"Proactively solving scientific and technological development problems and achieving good and fast commercial results is a very representative example of a national enterprise..."
Wen Liang had at least 120,000 energy to listen to every word the old man said. After waiting for half a minute for no sound, he said with unfinished meaning: "...No more?"
The old man asked kindly: "What else do you want to hear?"
"Second." Wen Liang said decisively.
The old man couldn't help but snorted, and said in a leisurely manner, as if he was counting on you, Xiao Wen, "The advantageous development situation of Bolang Group has made me jealous, and I have some ideas."
"The boss is much more low-key."
Wen Liang: "Uh..."
"Is it because I'm too low-key?"
Lao Miaotou affirmed: "Nowadays, people who have a high level of contact know how powerful you are. Our boss and others have a little knowledge and feel that Bolang Group is similar to other ordinary companies and can be involved."
Wen Liang is self-aware: "My wealth is innocent and my family background is nothing. Ben always thinks it doesn't matter. He only cares that the Bolang Group can make a lot of money. He wants to come in to eat meat and leave some soup for me."
The old man said nothing.
Because he knew that what Wen Liang said was the way things would have been.
We are now in an unclear state, not because I and the others have restrained themselves, but because Wen Liang has more power to draw on.
After all, it was still an internal fight.
Therefore, as an internally ambitious leader, Lao Miaotou is a bit speechless.
How should I put it? The domestic environment is actually very strange.
There is almost no pure large-scale private enterprise.
In the process of development and growth, various people will be involved, but most of the time there will be a phenomenon of 'love between husband and wife', and both parties get what they need.
The vast majority of these people belong to a group like the General Administration. They don't even know each other, but they just have the same style.
Some are even relatively high-profile.
And he looks like he is not worried about the impact of public opinion at all, and he has the air of an emerging big shot.
After a while, Wen Liang spoke first: "If you have any ideas, don't worry about what I think. I will cooperate unconditionally."
"As for Bolang...it's best not to move if you can. Although Bolang's debt is very low and the financing process is mutually beneficial and there is no such operation as stock-to-debt swap, it is still a critical stage of development and it is not easy to create it."
It was a great situation, but it was just one step away from giving the opportunity to the outside world.”
The old man quickly said: "You are worrying too much. You don't mean to use it to make a fuss. It's not that serious. You have to believe in our ability to control the situation."
"I believe it." Wen Liang said confidently, "But...actually I don't care about these things. Since the beginning of this year, various forces have appeared in force. I'm a little tired of it and want to relax for a few days."
The old man said meaningfully: "Some things are inevitable."
"I know." Wen Liang agreed casually. Unless Bo Lang stopped growing, there would always be people of this kind and kinds showing up with various purposes.
After a pause, Wen Liang asked: "Is there some relationship between my boss and Boss Liu?"
The old man was a little helpless: "Indeed."
So Wen Liang complained directly: "You are not clean at all."
Lao Miaotou: "...can you still talk properly?"
"It's not impossible. If you order 500,000 Xinghai desktops, you can say a few more words." Wen Liang crossed his legs and crossed his legs.
Lao Miaotou: "Fuck you!"
"If you don't take the lead in supporting us, how can we develop our own ecology? It's not that the products are not up to standard."
"You still buy and sell by force, right?"
"Look, look, it's too urgent to say a few words."
"I, the Industry and Information Technology Corporation, have given you 120,000 yuan of support. I took the lead in ordering 50,000 units and spent nearly 700 million, which is a lot!"
"I don't even want to tell you how much R&D money was spent on that D1 chip."
"That's what you said."
"Those are all small things, mainly about ecology...ecology."
"piss off."
The old man hung up the phone with a bang.
Wen Liang didn't care.
It should be noted that the research and development costs of Shenlong D1 series chips are not very high, because the current D1 is an enhanced version of M1 with enhanced performance, and it is less integrated than M1. D1 only integrates CPU and GPU.
Although the CPU and GPU architectures of the two are slightly different, the experience of M1 can be used for reference, and the technology of some unit modules can be reused, so... D1 only spent 2.7 billion new R&D funds.
The letter D was not chosen randomly, but was taken from the first letter of the word Desktop.
What really cost a lot in the early stages of the Xinghai Computer series is ecological support.
At present, the main investments include the acquisition of WPS, the acquisition of a series of software such as Meitu, and the consumption of optimization iterations so far, totaling 4 billion funds.
There are also promotion expenses for the Xingchen desktop system application software ecosystem, including but not limited to paid activities for individual developers mentioned at the press conference. The first batch will be drawn up in half a year, with a planned investment of 3 billion.
All of the above ecological supports are extremely difficult to generate commercial value by themselves.
Tools and software, including documents, presentations, charts, etc., are free of charge for users who purchase the Xinghai Computer series.
As for a few professional functions of a few software, you need to pay.
In addition, the R&D costs required to maintain these tools and software at a similar level to the Microsoft Office suite and to the Adobe Family Bucket are also astronomical.
Anyway, for now, even though one million Xinghai desktops/workstations are sold a day, with revenue approaching 12 billion or 3.2 billion, it is still a big loss.
Because the initial investment in various types of R&D alone has exceeded 10 billion.
Not to mention the necessary hardware integration and tuning costs, material costs, assembly and production costs, and even transportation costs, taxes including value-added tax are not a small sum of money.
For example, the value-added tax is more than 1.7 billion.
Therefore, if the terminal business line of computers wants to make money and achieve the goal of ecological promotion coverage, it already has a long way to go. There is also a boss who does not know the heights of the world to surround Bo Lang. Wen Liang certainly does not want to be affected.
Fortunately, the old man knew what he was doing.
…………
…………
On the 2nd, Monday, at early 9 o'clock in the morning, Wen Liangshi Shiran walked into IFC
Floor 65, Bolang Office Area.
After taking a short breath, Wen Liang walked into the large conference room.
Today is an important regular meeting of Bolang Group.
The number of attendees was the largest among any meeting Wen Liang had ever initiated.
They are Chen Jiaxin, Tang Pu, and Xin Dai who are responsible for the group's application Internet ecology, and Zhou Hongming, CEO of Bolang Xiaocheng;
Group Human Resources Management Yang Yun, Lin Jingmei;
Group legal officers Lin Hong and Yu Jiawen;
Group Financial Officer Wang Wanyu;
Group technical officers Sun Baoyin and Li Bowen;
Group Vice President Li Ze, subsidiary Bolang Terminal COO Chu Yuanliang, subsidiary Bolang Communications CEO Zhong Zhengye;
Star Semiconductor acting CEO Zhao Zhi, COO Tian Wenkai.
The top ten directors of Bolang Factory: Shi Haoqiang, Gu Yao, Cai Jiancheng, Liang Maoshi, Xiang Yongsi, Tang Minhui, Qin Shang, Dong Heze, Cao Yongchang, Du Wei.
Including Li Xia, the secretary of the meeting, Wan An, the secretary of the meeting, and Wen Liang, who presided over the meeting, there were 29 people in total.
For Wen Liang, there are not many new faces, only Yu Jiawen, one of the group's legal officers, and Cai Jiancheng, Liang Maoshi, and Qin Shang, among the top ten factory directors.
We have already met Lin Jingmei and Wen Liang, who is Yang Yun's partner.
When Wen Liang went to inspect factories in various places a while ago, and including the previous ones, he met a total of 7 of them.
These are the current main executives of Bolang Group. There are not many women. They are Xin Dai, Yang Yun, Lin Jingmei, Wang Wanyu, Gu Yao, Xiang Yongsi and Tang Minhui.
However, there are more women among the group's vice presidents. Currently, there are only four vice presidents in total, and except for Li Ze, they are all women.
The large conference room has a hollow layout, with interview-style sofas and chairs in groups of two.
Wen Liang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Cai, Mr. Liang, Mr. Qin Shang, please introduce me one by one. I'm not very familiar with you."
When his name was called, Yu Jiawen stood up with a smile: "Mr. Wen..."
"..."
After getting to know each other one by one, Wen Liang got straight to the point: "I'm calling you all back this time to talk about some things. The group's affairs are busy this year, and I'm also involved in many affairs. It's hard to spare time."
"The first thing is to promote a vice president. After nomination by the board of directors and voting by the shareholders' meeting, it was decided to promote Mr. Du Wei to the acting vice president of the group. The acting probation period will be 90 days and he will be fully responsible for the Bolang factory."
After the appointment was announced, even Du Wei himself was a little confused.
How did you become the vice president?
He is just a factory director. Not only is he new to the company, he has only been in the company for seven months, but he has also been far away from the center of power of the group. This span feels a bit big for him.
Only a few people present could understand this resignation because they knew it beforehand.
Wen Liang glanced at everyone: "I know Mr. Du may also be confused. This is a decision we made after comprehensive consideration. There are two considerations. One is that the Bolang factory is very important to the group, and the other is the future forecast of the Bolang factory.
There will be more than one million employees, and there must be a vice president who comes from a factory to take charge."
"Mr. Du Weidu was born in 1976. He is in the prime of life. He has outstanding work ability and strong sense of responsibility since joining the group... He is suitable for taking charge of the Bolang factory."
Du Wei: "..."
Other factory directors and executives who don’t know the truth: “…”
Wen Liang didn't care so much and said directly: "Mr. Du, please say a few words."
Du Wei has rich work experience and a long history of management experience. After joining Bolang, he was in charge of the largest factory with more than 20,000 people, so he certainly did not suffer from stage fright.
"Thank you Mr. Wen and the shareholders of the group for their trust. I will do my best."
Amidst the applause, Du Wei became the fifth vice president of Bolang Group, but he was still within the agency inspection period.
There is actually no special reason why he was favored. It was just that when Wen Liang and other teams went to inspect, they all saw some of the factory director's excellent qualities.
Wen Liang is not someone who is easy to fool. When he goes to a place, he always conducts "incognito private visits". Other teams also have secret investigation teams.
It is enough to be well-received by the vast majority of people and have a clean background.
Wen Liang turned around and said: "It is necessary to emphasize again that the group attaches great importance to the construction, development, and operation of the Bolang factory. I, as well as many departments such as human resources, ethical compliance, internal audit, quality and process, will continue to be dispatched
Personnel inspect and find out."
"I have been to a total of 5 factories in the two months of July and August. Among them, the factory managed by Mr. Shi has the most problems. It was originally scheduled to be reported to the whole group. Considering that you have discovered the problems and corrected them in a timely manner, I will talk to you in person today.
speak."
“I don’t want illegal recruitment, favour-based recruitment and other unethical things to happen again in the Bolang factory. I ask all bosses to strictly restrain their subordinate administrative members.”
Shi Haoqiang stood up and bowed slightly, not daring to say anything.
When Wen Liang stared at him just now, the back of his vest quickly became wet.
Next is to talk about some important group matters.
Mainly, Wen Liang, Li Ze and the others talked about arrangements for some major directions that everyone needs to implement.
In addition to the Bolang factory, what was highlighted was that Bolang Communications should accelerate the completion of internal integration in order to take on mobile 4G communication networking orders, as well as Bolang Xiaocheng's preparations for listing.
There are other aspects as well, but they are not so focused.
For example, for Star Semiconductor, the group's requirements are very simple. Don't be afraid of spending money and achieve the set goals as soon as possible.
Complete the commissioning and launch of the 28nm production line, and complete the rapid iteration and improvement of domestic equipment for the test line as soon as possible.
Although it was difficult for half of the people to return to the group, the executive meeting was still short-lived and ended in less than 45 minutes.
…………
After the executive collective meeting, Wen Liang immediately initiated a small-scale executive meeting.
This time the number of participants was reduced to 8 people.
They are Wen Liang, Xin Dai, Wang Wanyu, Li Ze, Lin Hong, Sun Baoyin, Li Xia and Wan An.
Directly at Wen Liang’s office.
Wen Liang was not verbose at all and went straight to the point: "President Ze previously proposed to sort out the terminal business product line and improve the long-term plan. In principle, all senior executives should participate together. Considering the confidential nature of the plan, the complete discussion will be limited to just a few of us."
.”
"The long-term planning of the terminal business product line will inevitably involve the factory. In principle, Du Wei should be invited to attend the meeting, but the matter is important, so we will wait for now."
Lin Hong attended this meeting as a legal officer, of course to provide legal explanations. Now that Bolang is not a small company, legal compliance has long been a top priority.
As Wen Liang finished speaking, Li Ze took out a Xinghai Notebook from the briefcase he was carrying: "The preliminary plan is as follows:
Plans for consumer electronics include: mobile phones, tablets, computers, watches, headphones, TVs, game consoles, monitors, home audio, wireless charging related accessories, and related accessories including tablet stylus, mouse, keyboard, cables and other related accessories.
Other pan-terminal product plans include: server equipment, base stations and networking communication equipment, storage equipment, and one-stop supercomputing equipment solutions;
new energy vehicles;
Robots, mainly intelligent industrial-grade robots, including sweeping robots;
Communications satellite;
Lithography;
Civil aviation aircraft engines;
aerospace engines;
High-end CNC machine tools.
All the above product lines will use the Xinghai brand uniformly."
“In addition, there are several non-terminal product plans. For example, the semiconductor upstream materials research plan that has been invested in has been further expanded to cover key new material research. In this regard, we have reached a tacit understanding with the Industry and Information Technology and will exchange needs;
Followed by biology and medicine and brain science.”
After speaking, Li Ze turned the computer screen to everyone: "That's it."
In fact, it was far beyond everyone's imagination. Although everyone had heard some news and even contributed opinions, they never expected that the initial case would be so exaggerated.
Of the total 22 categories of pan-terminal products, Bolang has actually invested resources in only 13 categories, including televisions, game consoles, wireless charging related, one-stop supercomputing equipment solutions, robots, communication satellites, civil aircraft engines, aerospace
There is no investment in engines, high-end CNC machine tools, or industrial mother machines, and there is even no foundation at all.
Putting aside the relatively simple TVs, game consoles and even wireless charging-related and one-stop supercomputing equipment solutions, the remaining five items are more exaggerated than the last.
But compared to Bolang's past achievements, it's not that incredible.
Moreover, these five major items all have the expectations of Industrial and Information Technology.
As for the planning of non-end products, in addition to industrial and information technology expectations, Wen Liang also has personal expectations, mainly in biology, medicine and brain science.
The office was quiet for a long time, and then Sun Baoyin thought about it and said, "We have planned so much, why is there no quantum computer category?"
"Mr. Wen means not to take other people's jobs." Li Ze explained from the side.
Wen Liang looked at everyone and added an explanation: "There is a team at the University of Science and Technology of China that is working on this. President Ping went to inspect it some time ago and personally followed the development of the project. The team is very strong. We have to seek cooperation from them if we want to get involved. There is no need to waste resources."
Just as Sun Baoyin was about to speak, Wen Liang added another sentence: "Actually, our actual internal scientific research strength is not strong. Our downstream product breakthroughs are all the result of our investment in cooperation with universities."
Wen Liang looked at everyone: "Do you have any new suggestions?"
"No."
"none."
Wen Liang made a direct decision: "Then we will jointly assist Mr. Ze to organize the plan clearly, fully consider various factors such as research investment and research time cost, list the development timetable of each project, form a plan, and gradually implement it after approval."
"clear."
