Chapter 783 Fast Charging Technology Alliance (4k)
Shanghai City, Zhangjiangkou.
Lu Fei stood in the building and looked down. Cars were driving to the door one after another. Today was an internal Android meeting held in the name of logic. Samsung, Motorola, HTC, Shenzhou, Xiaomi, Tianyu and other Android camp members were all without exception.
to participate.
There are still 17 minutes left before the agreed meeting time.
"President Lu, Samsung, Nokia, Gionee, and Bird all stopped in the second round. Only us and Lianxiang entered the final round. I discussed Motorola's bid with Mr. Sun and decided to keep the price at $900 million.
What do you think about the change?" Wu Haijun cast a questioning look.
"Google revealed Lianxiang's base price for the second round, which is US$200 million. We only need to fill in a number lower than this amount. The rest is left to Liu Chuanzhi and Yang Yuanqing to battle with the air.
, let’s call it a zero-sum game.”
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up slightly.
"Then we will maintain the second round offer."
Wu Haijun smiled.
"However, you still have to perform a complete performance. You should try your best to make Lian Xiang think that Shenzhou is bound to win Motorola, and make Yang Yuanqing and Liu Chuanzhi feel that Shenzhou just won't let Lian Xiang get Motorola. How to control this degree depends on you.
.”
Lu Fei turned around and sat down.
"It's up to me, Mr. Lu."
Wu Haijun vowed to do so.
"In addition, Toshiba laptop agents should not renew their contracts. Shenzhou has concentrated its efforts on its own PCs and laptops. The mid-range graphics cards jointly developed by Logic and Nvidia have also made breakthroughs. You can try to develop your own mid-range graphics cards."
.”
Lu Fei knocked on the table.
Wu Haijun readily agreed, but he was not so happy behind the scenes. He hesitated and hesitated to speak.
"Just say what you want to say. Don't say what you haven't thought about." Lu Fei crossed his arms.
“Xiaomi has gone too far when it comes to mobile phones.”
There was a hint of resentment in Wu Haijun's words.
"What happened to Lei Jun and Xiaomi?"
Lu Fei was very curious.
"I really don't know whether Xiaomi is a mobile phone company or an Internet company. It's not about technology, it's about marketing. The marketing methods are too shabby." Wu Haijun cursed, "I can't bear to praise Xiaomi at the press conference."
, but they are still on Weibo and Tieba, specially hiring navy troops to trample on our Shenzhou all day long, fighting hand-to-hand, insisting on proving that Xiaomi is more cost-effective and has more technological content than Shenzhou.”
"This is called porcelain marketing."
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed. He remembered this routine. When Logic first debuted, he used lmusic to compete with Sony's Walkman and Apple's iPod. When mobile phones were released, he also competed hand-to-hand with Samsung, Nokia, and Apple. Unexpectedly,
Not only did Lei Jun learn it, but he was also better than his master.
He truly deserves to be the Thunder Monkey King!
"Bah! What are you pretending to be?"
Wu Haijun was very dissatisfied: "They are all solution integrators. After all, Shenzhou has a higher localization rate and higher technical content than Xiaomi. At least our baseband chips are made in China, which is not inferior to Qualcomm at all! Huh! Xiaomi is also worthy of making porcelain.
Shenzhou?"
"Look, you are in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
Lu Fei poured him a glass of water.
"Mr. Lu, I'm either anxious or angry."
Wu Haijun smiled coldly.
"Don't be angry, and don't worry about Xiaomi getting in trouble. On the contrary, Shenzhou must learn Xiaomi's personal approach to Internet marketing. Cost-effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, isn't the core of it the word 'comparison'?" Lu Fei said with a smile.
, "Why, is Shenzhou, which ranks second in the country's smartphone market share, afraid of losing to Xiaomi?"
"Mr. Lu, I'm not afraid. The main reason is that Xiaomi 1 and Xiaomi 2 are priced at 1,999 yuan. They focus on high configuration and low price. The price limit of our mobile phones is locked. If the price is high, it will not be cost-effective, and the price will be low.
The profit will be less.”
Wu Haijun shook off all his grievances.
"Just like iPhone and LogicX, Shenzhou has also created a sub-brand. This sub-brand is more cost-effective than Xiaomi. Hasee is targeting the mid-to-high end."
Lu Fei revealed that the multi-core chip design department is classifying Zulong chips into high-end, mid-range and low-end. By then, Shenzhou can customize it and even match it with Qualcomm.
"Mr. Lu, this is a good idea!"
Wu Haijun's eyes lit up.
"So, there is no need to be grudged against Xiaomi."
Lu Fei looked at his watch and patted his shoulder, "It's getting late, we should go to the meeting."
…………
The huge conference room was packed with seats.
"Mr. Yu."
"Mr. Lei."
"Mr. Wang."
As soon as Lu Fei entered the door, he greeted Yu Chengdong, Wang Xuehong, Lei Jun and others affectionately. From the corner of his eye, he also saw representatives from Samsung, Motorola, LG, Oppo, Vivo and others meeting.
"Ahem."
Sitting on the main seat, he spoke into the microphone: "You must have heard that, today I specially summoned everyone, in addition to the Android system, to discuss the issue of unified standards for smart device interfaces. I hope that before the alliance is formally established, we can first
We have reached a consensus within the Android Alliance and won everyone’s support.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone murmured among themselves.
Lei Jun looked straight at Lu Fei, "Does Mr. Lu want us all to support the unification of USB interfaces?"
"No, it's not USB, it's USB-C. To be more precise, it's called type-C, which is the new interface used on iPhone 5 and Hasee 5s."
While talking, Lu Fei pressed the PPT page-turning pen.
On the TV behind me, the slides immediately jumped to the next page, and information about type-C and structural design diagrams appeared.
"type-C?"
Even Wang Xuehong, who was close to Lu Fei, couldn't help but be shocked that Mr. Lu actually abandoned the world-recognized USB interface!!
"Everyone is very clear about the benefits of unifying mobile device interfaces. Looking at the overall situation, the world is advocating green environmental protection. This can reduce the production and pollution of electronic waste." Lu Fei said while looking around, "I
I believe that all the friends and businessmen here will also support the unification of interfaces, right?"
Representatives from Samsung, Oppo and others have opinions in their hearts, but they dare not express them arbitrarily. After all, environmental protection is one of the moral high ground.
On the surface, how dare you say no.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence and dullness.
The Samsung representative stood up and said, "Chairman Lu, although it is true that it is environmentally friendly, but have you considered that the chargers and data cables of various companies are all formed around USB interfaces. If you rashly replace them with typc-C interfaces, it will
We need to redesign the appearance and internal structure of mobile phones, and even rebuild the industry chain.”
Representatives from vivo, oppo and others nodded their heads after hearing this.
Who will pay for this cost and loss?
More importantly, if the industry unified the money for interfaces, data cables, and chargers, how would they still make money?
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!
"Mr. Lu, I wonder what benefits it would bring to us to switch to a Type-C interface?" Wang Xuehong said with a smile.
"The reason is simple, because the Type-C interface will be one of the foundations for the development of fast charging technology for smart devices in the future!"
"I know that USB-IF has now launched the USB 0 power specification for USB-A and USB-B interfaces. In theory, the power can reach 100W, but I can say here that this is the limit of USB interface, but not Type
-The limit of C interface! Cha Cha, it’s just the beginning!”
After Lu Fei finished speaking, he pressed the page-turning pen in his hand.
Before the emergence of Type-C interface and lightning interface, mobile phone charging was based on the universal standard of USB interface 2, which could only input 5V/8A. In other words, the maximum power that the mobile phone could obtain was 9W.
Even if the loss is not taken into account, if 9W is converted into a charging current, the maximum current limit is only about 2A. When placed in a 3000mAh battery, the charging time is still relatively long.
In order to further improve charging efficiency, there are some adapters on the market that output 3A or even 4A current on the basis of outputting 5V. However, due to excessive current, damage to interfaces, connecting wires and other devices is caused.
"Furthermore, due to the materials used by consumers, the impedance of the connecting lines is different. Some impedances are particularly large, causing excessive line losses and causing the voltage reaching the mobile phone motherboard to be too small, unable to effectively provide a higher charging current.
, all kinds of disadvantages, don’t they prove that the USB interface is no longer suitable for the future needs of smartphone charging!”
He leaned forward and put his hands on the table.
"What about type-C?"
Yu Chengdong's eyes shone with great interest.
"We have developed a new fast charging protocol solution based on the type-C interface, which is now in the '0' stage."
Lu Fei took out a data comparison chart. Compared with the USB interface, the voltage and current are increased by 5V2A, support up to 10W charging power, and the charging time is reduced by 40%.
It is simply a huge breakthrough in charging technology!
A big breakthrough from traditional mode to fast charging mode!
For a time, the whole place was in an uproar and there were many discussions.
"Mr. Lu, is it possible that you will use this fast charging protocol on this year's logicX5?" Lei Jun squinted his eyes.
"Yes, logic has always been leading the development direction of smartphones. Fast charging technology can help smartphones get rid of the most criticized problems of short battery life and slow charging. However, the first prerequisite of the fast charging agreement is unified charging.
interface, and it must be a type-C interface!”
Lu Fei showed a meaningful smile.
"Hiss~"
Yu Chengdong took a breath, his eyes full of admiration.
Think about Mr. Lu’s contribution to smartphones, capacitive touch screens, front and rear cameras, the open source ecology of Android systems, fingerprint recognition, etc., coupled with this fast charging technology and type-C interface, this is not King Qin’s sweep of Liuhe
, unify weights and measures!
Representatives from Samsung and other friendly companies are both fearful and admired.
"I can tell you responsibly that with the emergence of the Type-C interface, charging will usher in a revolutionary breakthrough, and fast charging will usher in an explosion. The 5V that has been maintained over the years will soon become 9V.
, 12V, or even 20V, whether it is logical or not, I hope you will think carefully about it."
Lu Fei glanced around, as if to say:
Who supports! Who opposes!
"Mr. Lu, I support you!"
Wu Haijun, as Lu Fei's horse boy, was the first to stand up and show his loyalty.
How can you steal my words!
How dare you take the lead from me!
I am Mr. Lu’s most loyal younger brother!
Lei Jun was anxious, "Xiaomi will definitely support it with all its strength!"
Seeing each member express their support, the Samsung representative cleared his throat and asked, "What about the technical licensing of the fast charging agreement?"
In an instant, everyone turned their attention to him.
After all, the lawsuit between Samsung and Logic surrounding patent infringement can be said to be well-known in the industry and even the world.
"We can refer to the model of the Bluetooth Technology Alliance, and everyone here will form a fast charging technology alliance. This alliance should not only promote the development of fast charging technology, formulate standards and specifications for fast charging protocols, but also work together to promote it to the market."
Lu Fei said the plan without thinking.
The Fast Charge Technology Alliance, like the Bluetooth Technology Alliance, implements a three-level membership system. First-level members pay a membership fee of US$10,000 per year; second-level members pay a membership fee of US$5,000 per year; third-level membership is free and open.
Any company or individual can register.
However, when you want to produce fast charging products, you must pass the certification of the Fast Charging Technology Alliance. The testing and certification fee for each product of a third-level member or non-member is US$10,000.
As long as companies use "fast charging" related trademarks to sell products in the market, they must pay trademark usage fees and product certification fees to the fast charging technology alliance, which is equivalent to benefiting everyone.
"I agree with Mr. Lu's idea!"
“I agree to establish a fast charging technology alliance!”
Yu Chengdong and Wang Xuehong couldn't help but express their support.
After all, logic does not have a monopoly like fingerprint recognition and Leica lenses, but allows members of the technology alliance to share the same benefits. Moreover, it has a deeper meaning.
Following the Android Developers Alliance and the Android System Open Alliance, the Type-C Interface Unification Alliance and the Fast Charging Technology Alliance led by Logic can be said to be another global technology standards alliance led by Huaxia Technology Company. What does this mean?
What a glory!
Although charging interfaces, chargers, and fast charging protocols are far less technical than mobile operating systems and communication standards, it is still a very remarkable achievement.
"They all agreed, what about you?"
Lu Fei turned his attention to the Motorola, Oppo, Vivo and other representatives who had not yet expressed their stance, and each of them immediately expressed their loyalty.
There is no sun in the sky, but there is only one sun in my heart!
Lu Fei Kaka!
"And you?"
Lu Fei finally stared at Samsung, who had yet to speak.
"What will happen if the type-C interface is not adopted?"
Samsung and other senior executives lowered their faces. Although they were also very interested, it was not up to them to decide whether they could join.
The person in power now is Crown Prince Lee Jae-yong.
Because of Apple's secret instigation, Samsung's import ban was extended to another 90 days. However, Samsung did not doubt Apple from top to bottom, but blamed logic.
It’s hard to say whether I will answer or not.
"If you don't agree, I won't force it. It's voluntary, but I want to remind you that if you don't accept the type-C interface, Samsung will definitely not be able to get authorization for fast charging technology based on the type-C interface at the first time.
.”
Lu Fei suddenly mentioned that Qualcomm is also currently developing a new QC fast charging protocol, which is also based on the type-C interface.
There is no doubt that fast battery charging is the general trend in the development of smartphones. Does Samsung dare to buck the trend? Does it have the guts?
"Mr. Lu, that's not what we meant."
The Samsung representative was excited and quickly explained.
"No need to explain, I understand your difficulties."
Lu Fei's lips curled up, "What status do you have in Samsung? It's better to let the people you talk to decide!"
Seeing Samsung's submissive appearance, Lei Jun was extremely excited, nnd, when will I be able to be like Mr. Lu!
As a true man, this is how it should be!
