Chapter 188 A share of the pie

Zhou Liwen didn't know that the limited edition watch he bought in Xiangjiang after making a fortune in the financial market would actually lead to the subsequent events. For him, he just helped him a little. After all, the other party is his brother-in-law's relatives and friends, so it would be fine if he didn't see it, but it was normal for him to reach out to help.

After staying in Shanghai for a few more days, Zhou Liwen went to Huacheng until all the work of the Shanghai company was arranged. After arriving in Huacheng, he did not go to Guo's family because he had to contact Guo Tao and Zhang Zhen every day these days. He knew the progress of Guo's project arrangements very well, and everything was going in an orderly manner. After getting off the plane, he only sent a text message to Guo Tao, telling himself that he had come back, and then picked up the car in the airport parking lot and went straight to the research institute. After all, the people from the Shanghai Academy of Sciences had arrived in Huacheng last week, so Zhou Liwen had to go over and see the situation in person.

"Jay Jay Chou! You're back!" When he arrived at the institute building, the car had not stopped yet, he saw Liao Yuancheng personally coming downstairs to greet Zhou Liwen. As the director and project leader of the institute, he is now full of energy and looks energetic.

"I said Lao Liao, we are not outsiders, so is it necessary?" Zhou Liwen shook hands with Liao Yuancheng who stretched out his hands with laughter and cry. You must know that when he went to Shazihao factory, as an engineer sent by MediaTek, Zhou Liwen had personally experienced the greatness of Liao Yuancheng. Even Sha Zihao, as his old friend, could not even enter the laboratory. Today, Liao Yuancheng left the laboratory work and ran downstairs to pick him up. This was too much.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, and etiquette cannot be abolished..." Liao Yuancheng laughed. It is normal for a skilled person to have a bad temper, but it depends on who he is. You must know that Zhou Liwen is now his boss, and Liao Yuancheng is not a nerd who is stupid in his studies, so his attitude is of course different from before.

While walking, they were talking and laughing, and they went upstairs together. Liao Yuancheng first took Zhou Liwen to visit the laboratories. Through the corridors of the glass, they saw that many researchers in the laboratory were busy. As for what they were doing, listening to Liao Yuancheng's explanation, Zhou Liwen knew nothing about various professional terms, but he still nodded in a very interested manner. He even deliberately stopped and looked inside carefully as he walked.

After walking around the laboratory, the two of them came to the office on the top floor. Liao Yuancheng's office was opposite Zhou Liwen, and the entire layout was similar to Zhou Liwen's office. Sitting down in his office, Liao Yuancheng personally made a cup of good tea for Zhou Liwen, and then began to report on his work these days.

According to Liao Yuancheng, the group of scientific researchers sent by the Shanghai Academy of Sciences has very strong technical capabilities. Even at Liao Yuancheng's level, they are only in the middle reaches. Moreover, this group of scientific researchers also has two well-known experts in China, who can get the technical support of such a scientific research team. Liao Yuancheng is very optimistic about their research topics.

In addition, what made Liao Yuancheng even more moved was that according to his plan, I wanted to wait for people to rest for a few days after they came, and then get familiar with the environment before assigning work. Who would have thought that these scientific researchers could not wait to come to the institute to see the situation after getting off the plane. When they saw such a complete institute and such a good research environment, they agreed to Liao Yuancheng after discussing and unanimously suggested that they would start working immediately without any rest.

Liao Yuancheng was very surprised at this situation. He finally made the other party make a concession, that is, settle down on the first day of arrival and rest, and wait until the next day to arrange work. But that's it. When the second work arrangement was just arrived, all the researchers went into the laboratory without delaying for a moment. Apart from eating, going to the toilet, and sleeping, they threw all other things behind their heads like robots who would not be tired.

"I'm convinced them. We worked overtime when we were MediaTek, but we never worked so hard! These people were just as desperate as they were. Jay Chou, you don't know. I didn't pay much attention to the first few days, but later I looked at it more and more wrong. Take the electronics project team as an example. Several researchers worked for more than ten hours in a row and didn't even bother to eat. If this continues, people will be exhausted. I was so scared that I could only find a security guard to force them out of the laboratory and send them back to the dormitory."

Liao Yuancheng's admiration was helpless and puzzled, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly. After hearing this, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but sigh that these scientific researchers are the treasures of the country. If the Academy of Sciences had not had enough funds, how could they put aside their careers they loved? Now, with a good environment and conditions, they pounced on food like wolves who had been hungry for a long time. It is normal for such a situation to happen from this point of view.

"What you mentioned is very important. Research requires a combination of work and rest. Rome cannot be built in one day, and research cannot be completed in one day. This way, Lao Liao, I will give you a dead order. In addition to reasonable overtime, all researchers must get enough rest time. In addition, you will explain the logistics to provide good service to everyone. The nutrition of the food must be kept up and ensure that the 24-hour supply of researchers is provided to researchers. By the way, I remember that the hall on the left of the first floor is still empty? You can buy some fitness equipment, such as treadmills and bicycles, so that everyone can exercise there when they are free to maintain the best condition..."

Liao Yuancheng wrote down what Zhou Liwen said one by one, and also made some reasonable suggestions. Zhou Liwen immediately agreed to this, and as long as it is beneficial to the institute and researchers, they can do it.

Then, Zhou Liwen asked about the progress of the research topic, especially the progress of the research on similar mobile phone chips of MediaTek. Liao Yuancheng was directly responsible for this topic, and he immediately reported to Zhou Liwen.

"There is no big problem with the chip structure of ordinary 2G mobile phones in theory. Thanks to mainland researchers, this project was actually being done by the Academy of Sciences a few years ago, but it was temporarily shelved for various reasons and was officially dismissed last year. Now, we have improved the previous semi-finished products based on the current popular chip structures and MediaTek's digital communication experience. Just yesterday, the laboratory obtained data. Our chip design is different from the current mainstream chips in terms of design ideas, but the software has been optimized, and in terms of overall performance, it is no less than any chip..."

"There is such a thing? It will be fruitful so quickly? Why didn't I report it to me before?" Zhou Liwen was very surprised and asked in surprise.

Liao Yuancheng explained a few simple words, mainly because of confidentiality. After all, the main idea of ​​this 2G chip structure is that it was originally owned by the Academy of Sciences, and combined with the data and information in Liao Yuancheng's hands. In order to avoid trouble, Liao Yuancheng quietly suppressed the news after the experimental results came out, intending to wait for Zhou Liwen to discuss how to deal with it.

"Are you worried about property rights disputes?" Zhou Liwen understood Liao Yuancheng's concerns a little. Seeing Liao Yuancheng nodding, he thought about it and asked again: "You used to work at MediaTek. How likely are you to have property rights disputes between these two chips?"

"This is really hard to say..." Liao Yuancheng said the truth: "In fact, all similar chips are basically 60% or even 80% similar in overall terms. In many patents, they can obtain authorization. The difference between them is the structural structure and software settings. In these two points, our structural structure and mediatek have about 50% similarities, but the software and even uses completely different things. If the other party really wants to pursue property rights, no one can tell the case in a fight."

"Where is the Shanghai Academy of Sciences?" Zhou Liwen asked again.

"I'm not easy to inquire about this, and it's not convenient to ask about it, so I have to deal with it."

Zhou Liwen nodded, thought for a while and smiled, "Okay, I know this matter. Don't worry about it anymore. Let the laboratory take out samples as soon as possible, including all the design data, the framework you mentioned, software and other information. Once there are samples, I will ask the lawyer to apply for a patent. I will also solve the other problems together."

"Okay, okay, that's fine." Liao Yuancheng nodded happily.

2G mobile phone chips, that is, the second-generation mobile phone chips, with the arrival of 2000, the 2G mobile phone market will gradually be replaced by the new quasi-3G, that is, MMS mobile phones and the first-generation smartphones in the next few years. After that, with the rapid development of technology, the real 3G, which is the so-called smartphone, followed by 4G. But it cannot be denied that the current market for 2G mobile phones is still very broad. At least before 2003, 2G mobile phones were still the main force in the mobile phone market. What's more, in third-world countries, 2G mobile phones still have a large number of users because of their stability, which is something that no one can deny. Until the 2010 period, 2G mobile phones, commonly known as blue screen mobile phones, were still used by many users.

Zhou Liwen did not expect that the development of 2G mobile phone chips would be so smooth, and it could even be said to be unexpectedly fast. Of course, there is also a very lucky part of this. On the one hand, the Academy of Sciences has been a childish model for a long time, but it has been unable to conduct final testing and finalization due to funding. Secondly, Liao Yuancheng's contribution is also essential, and his assistance has made the development speed amazing. Since the 2G mobile phone chip has been successfully developed, Zhou Liwen had the idea of ​​changing his previous plan. Can he use the results of 2G to enter the mobile phone market first, seize market share, and then get a share of the huge mobile phone market?
