Reborn Millennial Gamer

"Then it's settled!"

During a meal, Lu Fei, Lacob, Larry Page and others determined the team's final investment ratio plan.

Larry Page has 5 percent and Ballmer has 25 percent.

Lu Fei monopolizes 50%, and the three together account for 8%.

Although Lacob was busy, he had no opinion.

How much Master Lu gives me is a gift to me!
They have become the hands-off shopkeepers and left the acquisition of the Warriors to themselves, but fortunately, they have been the hands-off shopkeepers thoroughly.

The team's future management rights also belong to themselves.

Backed by such three super-financial owners, even if the owners of the other 29 teams in the NBA are counted, they do not have as much money as them. With this financial resources, the Warriors cannot be snatched from Larry Exon. He can hang the southeast branch by himself.

Lacob issued a military order, and Lu Fei took Ivanka in his arms contentedly, boarded her family's Boeing 757, and flew to New York.

Not only did he prostitute Dong Jianguo's private jet for free, but he also prostituted his daughter for free on the way, which is not actually prostitution.

At any rate, I have given a large project worth hundreds of millions.

Ivanka bargained and entangled endlessly, vowing to make Master Lu bleed hard, and it would be best to squeeze everything out.

When getting off the plane, Lu Fei almost fell on the boarding ladder like a white stepping on a bridge, and then fell straight into the mud.

"Then goodbye, remember to accompany Zeng to the premiere of "Iron Man 2", if you still want Marvel."

Ivanka happily kissed him on the cheek.

"Huh, of course."

Lu Fei exhaled and got into the car.

At the airport, the two separated.

Lu Fei went to New York University non-stop.

Guo Xing, Zhang Tianmei and other executives, as well as the school leaders of New York University, have long been waiting in the newly built logic experiment center.

Since reaching a strategic cooperation with New York University, donating money and buildings, and reciprocating, it was just a multi-touch and fingerprint recognition laboratory before, which was directly upgraded to a research center.

"Mr. Lu."

Zeng Yu stood out among the many bigwigs, she was particularly eye-catching.

"Are you used to it in school?"

Lu Fei deliberately named Zeng Yu as a guide in the accompanying list.

"Very good! Everyone in it is talented, and they speak nicely, especially the teacher, who is really great!"

The "teacher" Zeng Yu said was Yan Lecun, the winner of the Turing Award, and one of the directors of the Logic Experiment Center.

Relying on these relationships, she is the No. 1 student in the school who participated in the logic project as a master student for the first time!
I am envious of the overseas student circle and the Chinese-American circle.

"That's good."

Lu Fei gave her a look and asked her to lead the way.

"The first thing we want to visit is the speech recognition project tailored for Logic mobile phones in cooperation with Logic and Nyans."

"Code name, Tomoko!"

Zeng Yu took a deep breath and boldly explained.

Lu Fei watched her operate the "Sophon" system while listening to the report, with his hands behind his back, acting like a big boss.

I originally wanted to buy Siri once and for all.

At this time, Siri has only been established for less than 2 years and has not been swallowed by Apple. However, the acquisition application has been stuck in the approval process of the Trade Commission. The reason is very simple——

Siri technology can be traced back to the CALO program announced by the military's Advanced Research Planning Agency.

So if you want to sell, you can only sell to local companies.

If you can't buy it, we will make it!
Spent 1.5 million US dollars, and cooperated with Nuance, the best speech recognition manufacturer in the United States, for more than a year.

"Compared with Siri and other speech recognition systems currently on the market, how is Sophon's various indicators? How accurate is it?"

Lu Fei touched his chin silently with interest.

"Sophon can be said to be far ahead of his peers!"

Zeng Yu has learned his mouth addiction, "Now speech recognition including Siri can only be based on text chat services. Tomoko has already realized the functions of voice input and output. Next, it can be integrated into Logic's mobile phone. Do fit."

"how long it takes?"

Lu Fei looked left and right.

"This this……"

Zeng Yu was at a loss for words, so he opened his mouth.

Yan Lecun answered for her, "According to the normal progress, I think it will be installed in this year's Logic series, there will be no problem."

"Warigod."

Lu Fei personally experienced it, and it is definitely not comparable to artificial intelligence such as chatGPT and Pangu model.

But in these years, proper black technology!

Nodding in satisfaction, he walked around the lab behind.

In addition to voice recognition, face recognition, multi-touch, device security, biometrics, artificial intelligence, image processing...

All are closely related to logical business and strategy.

For example, Orson Technology, which has been acquired, and Lycra, which has just completed the equity transfer, and the fingerprint recognition optical sensor developed by Goodix Technology rely on the optical imaging of Lycra.

"You need to align the optical imaging array with the aperture."

"To achieve this, the display area above and near the imaging aperture can be formed with a lower pixel density, increasing the distance between pixels and thus increasing light passing through this area."

"Then to the area of ​​the optical imaging array..."

Yan Lecun carefully explained the principle of operation.

"Brother-in-law."

Zeng Yu secretly pulled off the corner of Lu Fei's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Didn't we develop a pretty good pressure sensor solution? Why didn't you agree to put it in logicX3?"

"It's very simple. The sensitivity of the pressure sensor is not high, and it consumes a lot of power. The problems outweigh the benefits, of course not."

Lu Fei smiled, "And it's not a logical strategic goal. What I want is a real fingerprint to unlock the phone, just like the capacitive touch screen is the real touch screen."

"Emmm..."

Zeng Yu frowned tightly, half understanding.

"You will know when you come to work at Logic in the future. One of the primary purposes of Logic's scientific research is to 'innovate with the market, demand, and service at all times'. We have a special internal system of 'industry-university-research marketing and service' .”

There was a smile on the corner of Lu Fei's mouth.

Zeng Yu was very curious, "Well, brother-in-law, will I immediately go to logic after graduation?"

"It's up to you. You don't have to come to logic. You can continue to study for a Ph. D., or even stay in the R&D center. After studying for three to five years, you may be invited back to China to build a laboratory with you as the core."

"Me? Don't make fun of me."

"Who can say for sure, but you must go back to your country, and you must tell me when the time comes, and I will arrange it for you."

"Don't bother brother-in-law, I'll just come back by myself."

"You do not understand."

Lu Fei looked at her, "I will arrange a special line for you, which is not something that ordinary people can sit on. Recently, only two people have come in handy."

"Who?"

Zeng Yu was taken aback, how complicated would it be to go back to a country like this?
Lu Fei smiled without saying a word, and made a silent gesture.

Those two people are experts in the radio frequency field——

Zhang Hao, Pang Wei.

He is also the technical leader of Logic's future RF chips.

Like the baseband chip, the radio frequency chip is the top priority in the mobile phone chip. It is a chip that converts radio frequency signals to digital signals, especially the radio frequency front end.

It is indispensable for smartphones and mobile communication devices!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zeng Yu didn't ask the bottom line, and continued to lead the way, leading him around the entire research center, but some of the core laboratories in the core, even his sister-in-law, couldn't get in.

Only Guo Xing and Zhang Tianmei are qualified.

She waited at the door of the building for a while, and Lu Fei and others came out in groups, and immediately joined them:

"Take me where to eat delicious food at noon, sister..."

Halfway through the conversation, I saw Lu Fei with his hands on his hips, looking at the building of the Experimental Center over and over again from top to bottom.

Like this, in the United States, there are 2 more logics.

In addition, France, Neon, Italy, Canada, the United Kingdom, Russia, etc. all have one, and Germany will build a second one.

Not counting domestic and Northwest Jiaotong University, Harbin Institute of Technology...

It is precisely because of these that Master Lu has the confidence to not be afraid of the siege of the princes such as Nokia, Samsung, and Apple!

…………

Meanwhile, Nokia headquarters.

"Just now, Motorola announced that it will launch an Android model with a sliding full keyboard this year, called 'Milestone'."

As vice president, Ma Boce reminded: "Counting Logic, Samsung, and HTC, this is already the fourth Android phone."

"Motorola? Leave it alone!"

Kallasvuo disapproved: "It is no longer our primary competitor, especially the acquisition of Trolltech is about to be completed, and it will soon be able to pinch Motorola's nose!"

"Wow, that's really good!"

Mabote patted the handle of the chair excitedly.

All of Motorola's Linux-based phones use Trolltech's open-source software.

There are only two roads left before Motorola.

Either they are willing to be controlled by Nokia, or they give up such an important supplier and cut off their arms. Anyway, no matter which one they choose, they will suffer losses both internally and externally, either small or huge.

"Cracking down on Motorola is not the point. The point is to shorten the system gap between Nokia, Logic, and Apple."

Kallasvuo handed him a cup of coffee.

"Hehe, I originally thought that Motorola and Samsung were our strong rivals, but unexpectedly, it suddenly became Logic, Apple, Google, and Microsoft." Ma Boce took a sip of his coffee and couldn't help but sigh.

"Especially the logic, it's like a 'wake-up call' that woke us up, and now it's the most critical moment."

Kallasvuo said bluntly: "I intend to appoint you as Nokia's new Asia-Pacific president."

"You want me to be in charge of the Asian market?"

Mabote's heart was pounding.

Kallasvuo nodded, "You also know that under the impact of the so-called smart phones such as Logic and Apple, Nokia's current stock price is very, very bleak, and the outside world is not optimistic about us."

"I know, it's still falling today."

Mabutzer could feel the bitterness of the coffee still in his mouth.

From the moment Mr. Lu released the smartphone, Nokia's stock has been falling endlessly and has been going downhill.

It has been on sale for three years, and the stock price has been cut in half.

It has already dived halfway, leaving only 22.3 US dollars, but the downward trend has not stopped.

Seeing that it is about to fall below 20 dollars!

"We need to boost the stock price no matter what. We need new good news and new business growth points. From the current point of view, only the China market is our only hope."

Kallasvuo's tone was full of firmness.

"I agree! The reason why Logic can surpass Motorola so quickly and become the fourth largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world by sales is based on China's 13 billion consumer market."

"Soon it will no longer be the only one in China. Logic is now attacking cities and territories in Europe with Huawei, and it is about to overtake Samsung."

"Smartphones! We still have to switch to smartphones!"

Ma Boce said seriously: "Although the N97's current shipments, sales and other data are very impressive, it is not yet a smart phone. We must launch a Nokia smart phone as soon as possible."

"I'm doing this right now, and you..."

Kallasvuo said solemnly: "It is to defend our Chinese market before the successful launch of Nokia smartphones."

As with any business empire, there is a problem.

After the territory reaches a certain level, it will be more difficult to continue to expand the territory, that is, the market has changed from incremental to stock, and the European business is close to saturation.

As for North America, it has been unable to attack for a long time.

Except that Logic, Apple, Blackberry, and Motorola have already divided up the territory, the key point is that Nokia is not like Logic, willing to give up its benefits and cooperate with the four major operators.

In Asia, apart from Tianzhu and Huaxia, they also occupy the top spot in terms of sales. Neon’s market share is only 1%, and Bangzi’s market share is less than 1%, which has been eroded by Samsung, Logic and LG.

Nokia is like the blue whale, Apple is the great white shark.

Logic is the "ocean overlord", the killer whale.

Relying on the Android system, turning Google, Samsung, HTC, and Motorola into killer whales, they have already targeted Nokia.

"So my most important task is to deal with them and regain the market share that was taken away?"

Ma Boce cast an inquiring look.

"That's right, but the premise is to keep Nokia's existing market share in China first, and then try to increase sales and profits."

Kang Peikai nodded unabashedly,

"I think we can fight a price war."

"you sure?"

"Of course, one of Nokia's biggest advantages is its cost control capability. For mid-range phones priced at 76 to 200 euros, the gross profit can reach about 50%. Even for low-end phones priced at 30 euros, it can reach 20%. Logic can do it. Is it? Impossible!"

"Go on."

"We don't move high-end, but focus on low-end."

Mabote’s analysis logic, HTC, Samsung, and Apple’s smart phones are all priced at mid-to-high-end prices. Nokia is still the number one in China’s low-end market, and is almost the only company that can continue to make profits at the low-end. This is an opportunity. .

"Don't underestimate logic. China's second and third low-end smartphones, Shenzhou and Tianyu, rely on logic behind them."

The implication of Kallasvuo's words is to launch a mid-to-low-end price war, which is equivalent to a head-to-head battle between Nokia and Logic.

"He has his alliance, don't we also have our own alliance?" Mabote was talking about the Symbian Foundation, led by Nokia, and attracted Sony Ericsson, Texas Instruments, Vodafone, LG, Sharp and other companies to form a brand new Offensive and defensive alliance.

"That's true, and I'll reveal another piece of good news."

Kallasvuo whispered that they were working with Intel to develop Nokia's next-generation mobile phone system, MeeGo.

Also based on Linux, it will also be open source.

Jianfeng is directly targeting Android and IOS.

"Haha, this is great news!"

Ma Boce said with a smile: "I also have good news. Lianxiang from Huaxia hopes that the latest mobile phone can use the Symbian system, and it is best to join the Symbian Foundation. What do you think?"

"Lianxiang?"

Kang Peikai's eyes lit up.

With Lianxiang as internal support, it will not fight alone in the price war with Shenzhou and other logically related manufacturers in the Chinese battlefield.

As for the European battlefield,

One's own home court, of course, must use patent sea tactics. (end of this chapter)
