Revisiting Future Path

159th final decision to usurp power

Zeng Binxiang ended the first question with anecdotal rumors: “The reason why ZTE, which actively supported the WAPI standard in the early days, did not join the WAPI industry alliance in the first time. The rumor is that conflicts of interest arise.”

This rumor is not accurate.

As far as Wei Dongsheng knows, ZTE did not join the WAPI industry alliance in the first batch because of other reasons. However, ZTE’s rumors reflect to a certain extent that everyone questioned the purpose of the WAPI industry alliance, and also reflected the huge differences within the WAPI industry alliance.

Zeng Binxiang continued to look at WAPI: "The above are non-technical factors. The second problem of WAPI is that its technical solutions are not excellent."

"The advantage of WAPI standard publicity is security. It is indeed safer than WIFI. However, the problem with WAPI standard is not whether it is safe or not, but how to achieve security. Zhiyu surveyed the employees of other companies who wrote programs for WAPI and found that they were all right. The smooth deployment of WAPI’s doubts and doubts. Employees who have written the program for a year still don’t know how to store the certificate safely on the AP, and how to put the certificate safely and reliably on nodes such as notebooks, PDAs, and mobile phones.

"In addition, are these certificates monitored? If they are monitored, by whom? If they are monitored by the state, which department is responsible for them? These are difficult troubles."

"If monitoring, the cost of distribution management is huge. WAPI is already a small market. If you increase the cost, how can consumers accept you? Without monitoring, the security declared by WAPI is meaningless. Departments that are truly confidential are not allowed to use wireless Local area network; and in places such as homes, cafes, stations, etc., there is no need for security requirements to be so high. It is purely a meaningless increase in system complexity."

Qiu Weizhong also expressed his pessimistic opinion in unskilled Mandarin: "In fact, technical problems are not obstacles, but the key is the determination of the Chinese government. Before I came to Zhiyu to work for Marvell, I followed Dr. Hu Guorong, the technical director of Marvell's China branch, to Xi’an and XD Jietong negotiations. Not only Marvell, in fact, many companies in the WIFI camp are also half-hearted like the WAPI industry alliance. In order to gain excess profits in the Chinese market, what is it to betray the WIFI alliance. Director Hu Guorong led us with XD Jietong at that time. After talking for more than a month, how can I think that an agreement has just been reached here and there is an indefinite postponement notice of the WAPI standard. Since the Chinese government is not determined to enforce the WAPI standard, Marvell will naturally not waste money to develop a WAPI package Technology, the so-called cooperation ended without a problem, and I simply resigned and came to Zhiyu."

and many more.

Similar to the WAPI Industry Alliance, Zhiyu IC Design Company is also pessimistic about the WAPI standard.

Wei Dongsheng right-handed his left palm, announcing that the WAPI standard complaint will come to an end: "Everyone has made it clear about the difficulties of WAPI. However, why Zhiyu Group has faced difficulties to develop WAPI, please explain to you Jiang Hongxing, CEO of Zhiyu Technology."

Jiang Hongxing quickly switched to the PPT presentation mode: "Everyone knows that Zhiyu stepped into the mobile phone sales field, not to get a piece of the leftovers in the fierce competition, but to subvert the definition of smart phones. Smart Music is just a test of the water. It's not that there is a problem with the component supply chain. In June 2006, it was ready to try to launch a capacitive screen smartphone."

"Smartphone strategy does not allow us to take a leisurely stroll, because we want to reshape the concept of smart phones, there are other competitors. Zhiyu Technology began to prepare capacitive screen smartphones at the beginning of the year, purchasing capacitive screen components and contacting Chen Hong of Wanwan Island ( TPK) found that Apple had reached a cooperation agreement with Chenhong as early as the end of 2004. This year, Chenhong recommended capacitive screens to Nokia and other international giants. These are threats."

"Zhiyu is a vigorous company. You and I know that Zhiyu is running at a super high speed, but in the eyes of the outside world, Zhiyu is an untrustworthy company with no background. On sales, Zhiyu Information Industry, Zhiyu Combining a series of companies such as integrated circuit design companies and Zhiyu Technology, this year's sales may barely reach the scale of 16 billion yuan."

"16 billion, roughly one-third of Huawei, and there is no sense of international presence."

"Zhiyu was born in 2003 and achieved 16 billion revenues in three years. The achievements are very, very impressive. Unfortunately, no matter whether it is the reputation accumulated over time or the absolute value of revenue, we cannot compete with Apple, Nokia, etc. Companies are on the same level, and component manufacturers will definitely cooperate with them first. If Nokia makes capacitive screen smartphones, if they have ideas in early 2005, they can be listed in early 2006; if Apple makes capacitive screen smartphones, a decision will be made at the end of 2004 and the end of 2006 It can be listed. And Zhiyu, in terms of current influence, we will not be able to enter the market until the end of 2007 at the earliest."

“Due to compatibility issues, the cost of our procurement of components is also very high. Based on the current component prices, if the capacitive screen smartphone launched by Zhiyu Technology can sell 1 million units, the minimum price is 7,200 yuan per unit. It will not lose money. If the first smartphone is launched at the end of 2007, the guaranteed price of Zhiyu Technology may be reduced to 5,500 yuan."

"The above is the grim reality facing Zhiyu's capacitive screen smartphones."

"Zhiyu Technology has deduced that if a capacitive screen smartphone wants to beat a Nokia Symbian system smartphone, it needs to meet two basic conditions. One is 3G, faster Internet access speed, and cheaper Internet packages, so that users can anytime, anywhere. Use capacitive screen smartphones; the second is wireless local area network. The signal coverage cost of operators such as China Mobile and China Unicom is very high. Even if 3G is launched, it is difficult for users to enjoy 3G packages in a short time to browse the web and watch videos. Must be at home , Put enough cheap wireless LAN signals in small restaurants, coffee shops and other leisure and entertainment places, so that users can achieve their goal of watching videos on their mobile phones and will have the willingness to buy capacitive screen smartphones."

"This is where the problem lies."

"Zhiyu capacitive screen smart phones need wireless LAN signals, and smart technology needs wireless LAN signals."

"Whether it is WAPI or WIFI, there must be a wireless LAN foundation before there will be a living space for a capacitive screen smartphone. Zhiyu Technology actually does not care about the dispute between WAPI and WIFI. Using WAPI and WIFI does not affect the experience of capacitive screen smartphones. .However, everyone must pay attention to the Chinese government’s persistence to the WAPI standard, and also understand that the WAPI standard is a part of the Chinese government’s support of domestic related industries. If we don’t do anything, the Chinese government will continue to confront the WIFI alliance. The future is definitely: After the WIFI standard has completely won the international market, it will take the momentum to sweep the Chinese market, forcing the Chinese government to recognize that the WAPI standard has failed miserably."

"We must do something."

"We can't support WIFI. Even if we support WIFI, the road to popularization of WIFI will be difficult, and the price that Zhiyu will pay to promote capacitive screen smartphones against the WAPI standard may exceed the profits from capacitive screen smartphones."

"Limited by the political environment and market foundation, we have no other choice but to support the WAPI standard and promote WAPI products to the market."

After Zhiyu's first mobile phone chip was successfully taped out, Zhiyu Group executives knew that Zhiyu's ultimate goal was a capacitive screen smartphone, and would not satisfy Zhiyu Music's millions of sales. Operating systems and supporting applications that match capacitive screen smartphones are all under intense development. In the industrial chain of capacitive screen smartphones, Zhiyu Technology is also striving to find more reliable suppliers based on the principle of first domestic and international. Although Zhiyu Technology's first product and subsequent second and even third products are some gimmicky red and blue phones, Zhiyu Technology's core strategy has always been unswervingly aimed at future capacitive screen smartphones.

Capacitive screen smartphones are Zhiyu's core strategy.

The executives of Zhiyu IC Design Company also understand that the capacitive screen smart phone is the product that Zhiyu really wants to launch. What they don't understand is why Zhiyu spends energy to participate in the WAPI industry alliance. Wei Dongsheng convened this high-level meeting to unify everyone's understanding and guide all high-level leaders to attach importance to the WAPI industry alliance as much as possible on the grounds that the WAPI standard is an important part of the capacitive screen smartphone to the market.

Wei Dongsheng is accustomed to being on the front line. The Leader series chips of Zhiyu Music, the operating system and application software of capacitive screen smartphones all incorporate a lot of Wei Dongsheng's ideas and theories. The more senior executives who are familiar with Wei Dongsheng, the more they admire Wei Dongsheng's achievements. Under the influence of Wei Dongsheng, the content of this high-level meeting quickly transitioned from "why join the WAPI industry alliance" to "how to do a good job in the WAPI industry alliance".

The meeting quickly reached a consensus.

Zhiyu must be deeply involved in the WAPI industry alliance, but he can't obediently be a demining soldier for companies such as Xidian Jietong. On the contrary, Zhiyu wants to usurp power, usurp the power of intellectual property manufacturers such as Xidian Jietong, and obtain the leadership of WAPI industry alliance.

As mentioned earlier, Xidian Jietong is just a small vest, which involves complicated interest groups. To usurp power to win the leadership of the WAPI Industry Alliance, and to usurp power to gain the power of the WAPI standard, Zhiyu must draw in another group of interest groups with a more open mind.

Operators China Mobile and Datang Group were regarded as reinforcements by Zhiyu. In Wei Dongsheng's vision, Zhiyu will develop in-depth cooperation with China Mobile and Datang, taking the "dual-mode solution" compatible with WAPI and WIFI standards as an opportunity to propose better technical solutions during the cooperation. Waiting for Zhiyu to thoroughly prove his value with the technical background, and then unite with China Mobile, Datang and other interest groups to rebel, and usurp power to personally lead the WAPI industry alliance.

Having decided to usurp power, Wei Dongsheng doesn't have to put his face on his ass.

Wei Dongsheng simply handed over the trivial matters of contacting the WAPI industry alliance to a virtual title vice president of Zhiyu Integrated Circuit Design Company, and he flew back to Panyang City without incident to celebrate the Cambrian 2004D settlement as a supercomputing center.

The Chunqiu Building, built on the site of Weijiazhuang, has been half-completed.

If you ignore the surrounding steel jungle construction site and look only at the renovated buildings, this place seems to be a remote corner of the big city. When Wei Dongsheng walked slowly towards the Chunqiu Building, he suddenly seemed to see an acquaintance and stopped in doubt: "Ran Xiqian?"
