Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 303: Eating in an ugly way, using brutal methods

On October 16, Zhiyun Group released an announcement on its official website, announcing that its new generation of YunBook had achieved global sales of one million units three days after its launch.

Once the news was announced, it quickly attracted the attention of the media and the industry.

"Zhiyun laptops achieve another success, shipping one million units in three days!"

"Zhiyun has completely broken through Intel's restrictions, and its self-developed WZ4000U chip has helped PC business sell well around the world!"

"Intel regrets breaking up with Zhiyun!"

Various media news spread to every corner of the Internet, and more ordinary people paid attention to Zhiyun's new generation of notebooks. In particular, some people who were planning to buy notebooks would search for news about Zhiyun's new generation of notebooks.

Then you can search out various review articles, most of which are promoting Zhiyun's new generation of notebooks, especially the WZ4000U chip.

Many domestic media published articles that were even more exaggerated than the soft articles of Zhiyun’s public relations department, saying that the chip was world-class and had surpassed the level of the fourth-generation Core low-voltage version CPU.

They say that the 18nm process is more advanced than Intel's 22nm process, and that it has stronger scores in various tests and so on.

In short, it’s bragging from all angles!

You have to praise this. As a domestic media, if you don’t praise Zhiyun’s products, you must praise Intel’s products!

Besides, Zhiyun’s WZ4000U chip is indeed very powerful and lives up to their boasting!
It's not just the media. In fact, a large number of domestic consumers also highly recognize Zhiyun's new generation of notebooks.

It is impossible not to agree with this, because Zhiyun is basically the only high-end ultra-thin business notebook left in China. Its former main competitor, Fruit, has already withdrawn from the Chinese market, and there are only a small amount of inventory and smuggled goods for sale on the market.

The ultra-thin business notebooks of other PC manufacturers are one level lower than Zhiyun in terms of brand value, performance and appearance.

In the past few years, the high-end ultra-thin business notebook market has always been dominated by Apple and Zhiyun, with other PC manufacturers basically having no chance. Even stronger manufacturers such as Samsung and Dell find it difficult to shake the absolute advantage of Apple and Zhiyun in the high-end ultra-thin business notebook market.

Now that Apple is no longer in the domestic market, other PC manufacturers have certainly gained some of the high-end ultra-thin business notebook market, but most of the market share vacated by Apple has been taken up by Zhiyun.

In addition, in the past ten months of this year, Zhiyun notebooks have been out of stock all year round due to Intel's chip supply shortage. Now the new generation of notebooks uses the self-developed WZ4000U and has sufficient supply, so sales have suddenly increased.

This also led to the fact that Zhiyun laptops dominated the domestic high-end ultra-thin business notebook market in October, with almost no actual competitors. This was the reason why Zhiyun was able to contribute most of its sales of one million in Taichung in three days.

As for the overseas market, it is relatively difficult. Many consumers are still encouraged by Zhiyun's WZ4000U chip.

At the same time, Intel's brand value is higher, and foreign consumers have a higher sense of identification with Intel products.

Therefore, Zhiyun’s new generation of notebooks cannot be said to have achieved sales of 100% abroad, but Zhiyun itself also has a large number of fan users, especially users of the whole family package.

Zhiyun S series mobile phones, paired with Zhiyun notebooks, Zhiyun tablets, Zhiyun smart watches, and Zhiyun Bluetooth headsets, the ecosystems of the above products are connected to each other and together constitute the Zhiyun family bucket.

In this case, after Zhiyun's new generation of notebooks were released overseas, they also attracted a group of Zhiyun's old users to place orders.

Zhiyun’s brand influence played a huge role here!
Even overseas consumers, and even non-Zhiyun product users, have to admit that Zhiyun is a genuine high-end brand, and the performance and quality of its products are top-notch on the planet today.

The notebooks made by a brand like Zhiyun cannot be too bad.

In particular, high-end ultra-thin business notebooks are one of Zhiyun's important businesses. No matter how stupid Zhiyun Group is, it is impossible for it to take risks with this important product with annual revenue of one or two hundred billion US dollars, and then produce a crappy notebook to damage its own reputation.

It is just the same concept that Zhiyun has been conveying through its marketing and public relations over the years: just buy Zhiyun’s mobile phone with your eyes closed!
Similarly, when it comes to Zhiyun laptops, you can just buy them with your eyes closed, without having to compare any performance parameters.

Just buy it directly and that’s it!

Because, whether it is Zhiyun's mobile phone or notebook, there is no other disadvantage except being expensive. As for the poor performance, it can't be that bad, and it is even much better than other products.

This is the brand value that Zhiyun has accumulated over the years with its S series mobile phones and other high-end products!
This also leads to the fact that even in overseas markets, even though the WZ4000U chip is Zhiyun's first foray into high-end, low-voltage X86 chips, there is still no shortage of users willing to pay for it.

After purchasing and trying the product, these users found that they made the right decision. Needless to say, the appearance of Zhiyun notebooks has always been top-notch.

The hardware parameters and performance are also not bad.

For example, YunBook 15 Pro, equipped with the current top-level notebook screen, has a display effect close to the standard of the retinogram screen. Considering that the laptop screen is farther away from the human eye, in actual use, the visual effect is no different from the retinogram screen of the mobile phone.

The overall notebook is well-made, with an aluminum alloy body manufactured using the third-generation integrated aluminum alloy process, and comes in three colors: space gray, pink purple, and silver gray. The appearance and color alone look high-end and classy!

The notebook has a specially customized high-end membrane keyboard and is equipped with fingerprint recognition. There are two USB-T4 universal interfaces on the interface, which is a customized version of the notebook interface and supports -watt power supply. The notebook has a built-in battery management system and supports the YFC -watt fast charging protocol.

It also provides data transmission up to 15GB, digital video transmission, and audio transmission.

The USB-T interface is also a universal interface that Zhiyun Group has been promoting in recent years. It is used on Zhiyun and Weiku smart devices, including but not limited to mobile phones, notebooks, tablets and even smart TVs and other smart terminals. It is also authorized to allow some third-party products to use this interface protocol. It has now developed to the fourth generation.

In addition, in order to meet more production needs, there are two USB3 interfaces, an HDMI port, and a 3.5 headphone interface.

If you think there are not enough interfaces, you can also purchase an expansion dock with a USB-T interface, which can also support an SD card slot interface, more USB3 interfaces or other interfaces... or you can simply go out and buy an expansion dock yourself.

All Zhiyun notebooks are still equipped with the self-developed Bluetooth 4.5 protocol and are compatible with the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol, the latest WIFI protocol, and perfectly match various wireless networks.

In particular, its Bluetooth 4.5 protocol can perfectly match the Bluetooth data transmission of other Zhiyun ecological products such as Zhiyun Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth keyboards, which is efficient and convenient.

In terms of core components, in addition to the WZ4040U chip, there is also the top-level LPDDR3 1600 memory produced by Jiangcheng Semiconductor's nm memory process under Zhiyun Microelectronics.

The top-of-the-line 15-inch Pro gives you 16GB of memory.

For flash memory, you get Zhiyun's third-generation high-speed flash memory, with the top configuration being 1TB.

Finally, we'll give you a high-end independent graphics card for mobile devices from NVIDIA, a subsidiary of Zhiyun Semiconductor.

Finally, it is equipped with a large-capacity battery of 100 watt-hours.

Despite such powerful hardware performance configuration, the entire notebook weighs only 2.1 kilograms and the body thickness is only 1.9 centimeters.

The entire YunBook 15 Pro has almost reached the limit of current high-end business notebooks in terms of hardware performance...

Such laptops are also very expensive. The standard configuration of the 15-inch Pro is yuan, and the top configuration is more than yuan.

The 14-inch standard version, Pro version, and 13-inch version also have top-level performance.

Among them, the YunBook 13-inch version, which focuses on portability and light office use, benefits from Zhiyun's low-power control technology, especially dynamic main frequency control technology, dynamic GPU frequency control technology, automatic screen brightness adjustment, automatic energy saving and other Zhiyun power consumption control technologies, coupled with a large-capacity lithium battery, which makes this -inch computer have extremely strong battery life.

In theory, the battery life for wireless web browsing or video playback is an astonishing thirteen hours.

This battery life is almost enough to beat all kinds of notebooks from a large number of competitors, making it the best.

The YunBook 13 has such a long battery life, and its body is also extremely light and thin.

It weighs only 1.3 kilograms and is only 1.6 centimeters thick at its thickest point.

This extreme hardware stacking, body design, power consumption control and other technologies, coupled with the fashionable and lightweight approach that Zhiyun has always taken in appearance design, have made Zhiyun's notebooks enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide.

People can actually accept such a Zhiyun laptop even if its CPU performance is slightly worse... After all, not many people come for the performance of a Zhiyun laptop.

How should I put it? If we just consider the performance, even the 15-inch Pro version of Zhiyun laptop which costs more than yuan cannot compare with those top-level gaming laptops which cost more than yuan and directly use desktop CPU.

It's even more incomparable with desktop computers.

Zhiyun's notebooks are ultra-thin, yet they take appearance and battery life to the extreme, and maximize the performance of the notebook.

Among the three points of appearance, battery life and performance, performance actually ranks last!
But even so, in the business field, Zhiyun's notebook performance is quite outstanding.

With so many advantages, Zhiyun's new generation of notebooks have achieved outstanding sales both at home and abroad.

Within three days of its global launch, one million units were shipped directly, and overseas markets contributed approximately 50% of the sales.

Once again proved the strong capabilities of Zhiyun Group!
The media was in an uproar over this, but other PC manufacturers besides Apple remained silent... They have never been able to win anyway, so it is normal that they cannot win now.

In the field of high-end ultra-thin business products, Zhiyun and Fruit share the world equally, and they basically have no chance... They didn't have a chance before, and they don't have a chance now. As for the future, we'll talk about it later.

As for Intel in the chip field, according to unreliable rumors, Intel has held several meetings internally regarding the WZ4000U issue.

The discussion is not just about WZ4000U, but also includes WZ4000 which has been released but not yet officially put on the market.

In response to Zhiyun's challenge in the X86 field, Intel decided to launch their long-awaited fifth-generation Core mobile version ahead of schedule. Instead of waiting until next year, they will release it in December this year after completing all preparations!

This will be a groundbreaking mobile CPU, because this series of mobile CPUs is the first mobile CPU in history to use a 14-nanometer process. It has great historical significance and a huge performance improvement.

At the same time, a new round of price adjustments will be carried out for some high-quality products, mainly the third and fourth generation I3, I5 and I7.

The fifth-generation Core mobile CPU was released ahead of schedule, and the third- and fourth-generation Core CPUs were reduced in price in an attempt to suppress the WZ2000 series and WZ4000 series chips of Wichita Technology, a subsidiary of Zhiyun Group.

At the same time, AMD also felt a certain amount of pressure. Their CPU business was already suppressed by Intel, and their market share was only more than 20%.

This year, a new player, Weichi Technology, a subsidiary of Zhiyun Group, has emerged and the products it brought are also excellent, which has put AMD under tremendous pressure.

To this end, when time entered November, AMD also announced plans for its new generation of desktop and mobile CPUs, which will adopt the 18nm process and are expected to be released in January.

They can't delay any longer!

Needless to say, Intel has been using the 22nm process for a long time, and has recently been moving towards the 14nm process.

Zhiyun was doing well in the first half of the year, only producing the WZ2000 with a -nanometer process, but in the second half of the year it has also produced an -nanometer process, the mobile version of which has been released, and the desktop version is expected to be released in January.

At this time, if AMD doesn't follow up, they will be in big trouble.

However, looking around, there are only three manufacturers with advanced technology: Intel, TSMC, and Zhiyun Microelectronics.

Needless to say, Intel does not accept any foundry orders, especially orders from its competitor AMD.

As for TSMC, its 20-nanometer process is okay, but it is just okay. Its power consumption problem is very serious. AMD's chips have always had high power consumption. If they use a 20-nanometer process and maintain high performance at the same time, they really need water cooling to suppress it.

Finally, Zhiyun Microelectronics extended an olive branch to them, saying that it would be able to release some of its 18-nanometer process production capacity to them after January next year.

The technological upgrade and transformation of Zhiyun Microelectronics' other two 12-inch wafer fabs has entered the final stage, and small-batch trial production is currently underway. It is expected that customers will be able to provide 18-nanometer process production starting in December.

These two 12-inch wafer fabs will provide Zhiyun Microelectronics with an additional 18-nanometer process production capacity of 90,000 wafers per month. In addition to meeting its own needs, they can also be used for foundry production for external customers.

The production capacity can be said to be quite sufficient!
Under such circumstances, AMD finally chose to reach a foundry agreement with Zhiyun Microelectronics to use Zhiyun Microelectronics' 18-nanometer process to produce the next generation of chips.

This order is also a rare large international order for Zhiyun Microelectronics, especially since it is an order from a competitor of other sister companies of the group.

In order to obtain this order, Zhiyun Microelectronics made various commitments, not only in terms of production capacity scheduling, but also in terms of willingness to sign a confidentiality agreement and allow the other party to conduct supervision to avoid the leakage of their chip design drawings, which would lead to AMD's trade secrets being obtained by Vichi Technology.

This is also an embarrassment for non-independent chip foundry companies... people don't trust you very much and are worried that you will take the chip design drawings to the sister company next door.

This kind of trust requires long-term business reputation to accumulate, it doesn’t mean you won’t disclose it!
Zhiyun Microelectronics has accumulated some reputation through its large number of external OEM orders. In the process of manufacturing mobile phone SOCs for domestic Haisi, it has never leaked relevant information about Haisi SOC to Zhiyun Semiconductor next door.

Now, this accumulated trust has further expanded to overseas markets, making AMD willing to give it a try.

AMD and Zhiyun Microelectronics are willing to cooperate, which to some extent is also a potential alliance between the second and third largest companies in the industry, trying to jointly fight against the leading company Intel.

In the current CPU market, whether it is the desktop, mobile version, or the server market, Intel is the absolute leader, with a market share of more than 70%.

Very strong!
AMD is being squeezed out very badly, with a market share of only over 20%. Although Zhiyun's subsidiary Weichi Technology has a huge momentum, its market share is even worse, at only single digits.

The WZ2000 series chips are only popular in the DIY circle, but the overall market share is actually very low. The sales of Tongfang notebooks equipped with WZ2000U are okay online, but they have failed offline.

As for the WZ4000U chip, the market share is entirely driven by its own notebooks. It’s not that there are no third-party orders, but they are very few.

As for server chips, Weizhi Technology, a subsidiary of Zhiyun, has not yet launched X86 server chips, so it is simply a blank.

As for the SOP instruction set chip under Zhiyun Semiconductor, although it is also being shipped, the server chips, desktop chips, and mobile chips of the SOP instruction set are all special products, and no one will regard the SOP instruction set chip as a commercial competitor.

Even Zhiyun itself has never included the data of SOP instruction set chips and Pangu computers and other businesses, and then compared them among manufacturers!
Because no matter whether Pangu Computer is good or not, or SOP instruction set chip is good or not, external enterprises or individual consumers will not buy it, the ecosystem is too poor, and it is useless...

Pangu's self-developed computer business is currently exclusively for institutional clients and does not participate in market competition...

Because it cannot participate in market competition, Pangu Computer business can not bring any actual profits to Zhiyun Group... SOP chip research and development and the construction of software ecology every year are constantly consuming funds. At the same time, the purchase volume of institutions cannot be too large, and the price of Pangu Computer cannot be set too high, so a large amount of Pangu Computer costs cannot be diluted, which ultimately leads to relatively high costs.

When costs are high and selling prices are limited, being able to break even is a victory, but don't expect to make any money.

Unless Zhiyun does not continue to invest its technical resources in the research and development of new chips and make continuous improvements to the ecosystem, and directly fools around with the first generation of Pangu computers for several years, it can make a lot of money.

But we can’t destroy Zhiyun’s brand!
Anything produced by Zhiyun must be high-quality, even the Pangu computer purchased by an institution is no exception.

Therefore, even if it does not make money, Zhiyun continues to invest in the research and development and updates of Pangu Computer's SOP instruction set chips, chipsets and other hardware, as well as operating systems and software ecosystems.

Anyway, Xu Shenxue doesn’t expect Pangu Computer’s business to make money!
He thought that if he continued to develop the Pangu Computer business in this way, he might be able to further promote the SOP ecosystem from the special procurement field to the commercial field in the future.

Now we are laying the foundation, don’t be in a hurry, take your time!
Not now, but what about ten years later, twenty years later?

----

Putting aside Pangu Computer's SOP instruction set, in the X86 business field, whether it is the server market or the personal computer market, AMD and Visionox are a pair of brothers in distress, so they will unite to a certain extent to fight against Intel.

Of course, this kind of cooperation is extremely limited and only superficial. When their own interests are really threatened, both sides will abandon each other without hesitation.

----

A battle in the X86 chip market triggered by Zhiyun notebooks kicked off in October, leading to certain turbulence in the X86 chip market, especially the decline in chip prices, which also brought some benefits to many consumers.

On the other hand, the mobile phone market continued to be full of smoke. The war among major mobile phone manufacturers has lasted from August to November and has never stopped.

Not only are Apple and Zhiyun fighting around the world, other mobile phone manufacturers are also fighting each other.

Among the domestic mobile phone manufacturers, there are WeCool Electronics, Dami, Huawei, Lianxiang, Coolpad and the newly emerging OP, all of which are engaged in brutal competition for the mid- and low-end markets.

This competition has also greatly increased the penetration rate of smartphones and the rapid development of mobile Internet.

After all, they are too competitive and have pushed the performance of smartphones priced around 1,000 yuan to a very good level. The Little Blue M series under Weiku Electronics, Xiaomi's 1,000 yuan series, and other manufacturers' 1,000 yuan smartphones are all doing very well.

This not only killed off a large number of well-known mobile phone manufacturers in the era of feature phones, but also made it difficult for a large number of copycat phone manufacturers to survive. Even the transformation to low-end copycat smartphones was difficult for them!

Consumers can buy big-brand smartphones for a thousand yuan, or even eighty or nine hundred yuan, so who would still buy copycat or inferior products?
The price-performance ratio of your copycat phone is not as good as that of big brand phones.

This also directly made a group of copycat phone manufacturers very uncomfortable, and eventually they disappeared from the market.

The widespread popularity of smartphones has led to the rapid development of mobile Internet around the world, ultimately giving rise to some emerging companies in the new era.

Yihai Technology, owned by Xu Shenxue, is a typical example.

This Internet company has risen entirely relying on the development of mobile Internet, from its initial mobile games to mobile browsers, maps, music apps that serve as mobile traffic entrances, and then online reading... These scenarios are all rooted in mobile Internet.

At the same time, Yihai Technology has also entered the field of short videos, and Nanshou Video has developed rapidly after its launch.

Most importantly, the intelligent push algorithm of its subsidiary, Dianping Technology, has gradually matured after being tested on news apps and UC browser waterfall flows, as well as collecting and improving a large amount of data.

At the same time, based on the rapid development and gradual popularization of the global 4G network, Dianping Technology quietly launched a short video APP in November.

Moreover, this launch is not only available domestically, but also directly launched on a large scale globally.

In this respect, Yihai Technology is different from domestic Internet companies!

That is, other domestic Internet companies are basically rooted in the domestic market.

But Yihai Technology is different. Like Zhiyun Group, Yihai Technology is actually a global Internet company with many businesses and subsidiaries overseas.

The main reason is that Yihai Technology has the strong system support of Zhiyun Group in overseas regions!

To give a simple example, if Yihai Technology wants to release and promote a new software or game overseas, it can easily and directly get the top recommendation and other traffic support from the Zhiyun APP Mall, which makes the early stage promotion much easier.

At the same time, Zhiyun Group can also provide some legal and local optimization support in various overseas regions, helping Yihai Technology to enter different overseas markets and reduce off-site factors such as non-product factors.

These advantages are unmatched by other domestic Internet companies and are beyond envy.

Yihai Technology has been targeting the global market for its very first mobile games, and many of its subsequent software apps are also targeting the global market, but due to regulatory issues, they are divided into domestic and overseas versions.

The short video field is no exception. The Nanshou Video, which was previously launched in China, was just a test and was not a very mature product.

The news waterfall flow launched on the browser later is still for testing and collecting data algorithms.

The current jumping video is considered a truly mature product, and it is targeted at the global market as soon as it is launched.

Yihai Technology has a large and mature overseas operation team, which is sufficient to support the early overseas operations of Jump Video.

Xu Shenxue is also relatively concerned about the launch of the jumping video.

Although he personally does not attach much importance to the Internet industry, after all, in the pure Internet industry, other domestic companies can do very well even if they do not get involved themselves.

However, Xu Shenxue pays more attention to some information platforms.

In the past few years, we have made a small strategic investment for this purpose. Even if we cannot achieve controlling stake, we still have a great say... This makes it much easier to promote various products and build the corporate image.

Therefore, Xu Shenxue is more willing to invest in this kind of information platform. It doesn’t matter whether it makes money or not, but the prerequisite is to have a certain voice.

In addition to Weibo, a lot of investments have also been made in other platforms, such as WeChat and AB Station.

Not only in the country, but also overseas, we have invested in many similar information community platforms.

Apart from this kind of project, Xu Shenxue has basically no interest in other pure Internet projects... Even though the company under his control was the first to create WeChat, he finally chose to sell it to Tencent, took some shares, made some money and that was it.

After all, instant messaging and other things are not of much help to his career prospects and future expectations.

As for the short video platform, Xu Shenxue attaches great importance to this track because it is an information sharing platform...

On this kind of platform, even if someone else is doing these things, he will run over to get involved.

Even if you cannot have a controlling stake, you must make a strategic investment and get a seat on the board of directors to exercise a certain degree of control.

If he cannot control it, he will support another one to compete, and then drag his competitors into the field he is best at: burning money!

In this world, there are few people who can spend money as much as Xu Shenxue!

He can spend billions or even tens of billions with his eyes closed, and can even say: No request for return!

But other capitals won’t work!
Especially Xu Shenxue is thinking about the short video field, not for making money, he wants to build a brand for his own company and advertise...

You can choose not to use the information sharing platform, but you cannot do without it, especially if it is controlled by the enemy!

Musk in the future of the original time and space acquired Twitter. Do you think he has too much money to do anything?

If the other party had not been unwilling to do so, and several large conglomerates had been guarding against Xu Shenxue like they were guarding against thieves, Xu Shenxue would have acquired Twitter long ago... Twitter is only worth more than 20 billion US dollars today, which is nothing to Xu Shenxue, not to mention that Twitter can continue to make money after the acquisition.

Unfortunately, people were wary of Xu Shenxue and did not allow him to acquire the information sharing platform company.

But it doesn’t matter. Since he couldn’t acquire Xu Shenxue, he decided to make one himself. So this time the jumping video was launched globally, including the US market!
As for whether it will be banned in the future, we’ll talk about it later. At least we can get a vote now.

Even if it's just to make the other person feel disgusted, it's good.

You are allowed to raise dogs remotely, but I am not allowed to build a doghouse in your house and raise a bunch of dogs... It doesn't make sense!
In fact, most people in China don’t know about this, but Zhiyun actually supports a lot of environmental protection and animal protection funds overseas…

What’s more, some low-level foreigners think Zhiyun is pretty good, as it spends money to help them with environmental protection, animal protection, and diversity... This is definitely a positive move towards civilization and the free world!
I will buy a Zhiyun phone to show my support!
------

There is actually a big difference between domestic and foreign Zhiyun... Domestic Zhiyun is the leader, with great ambition to lead its younger brothers in upgrading the industrial chain. It is also generous in giving money, abiding by laws and regulations, and is a model tax-paying enterprise... positive and proactive.

But in foreign countries, it is hard to say. All I can say is: in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Zhiyun Groups!

Good and bad are not so easy to judge!

However, the wealthy circle in the United States has a unified understanding of Zhiyun Group:

"The way they eat is too ugly and the methods are too barbaric."

However, it is impossible for such views of Zhiyun among foreign wealthy circles to appear and be recognized on Jianzhong.com. If they appear, people will regard it as slander against Zhiyun!
Zhiyun is the most awesome high-tech enterprise in the family. What’s wrong with me saying a few words to defend it?
Do you really have to listen to the nonsense of your competitor?
What a barbaric joke!
------

In order to support the launch of the provocative video, Xu Shenxue went to Yihai Technology to take charge and presided over the internal launch of the APP.

As soon as the APP was launched, it received considerable traffic support and the number of downloads increased rapidly.

At the same time, Yihai Technology has also negotiated built-in APPs in new Zhiyun, Weiku Electronics and other mobile phones. With the shipment of these new mobile phones, the number of built-in APPs of Jump Video is also increasing rapidly.

As a result, some people in most countries around the world have seen the jumping video, learned about this APP, and many of them will try to use it.

Some people will also post some shared video content, and some people will watch it.

Even though its initial scale was relatively small, with little content and few users, it is expanding at an extremely exaggerated rate.

After only one week online, the number of active users worldwide has exceeded 10 million, and is still growing at a very fast pace.

Especially this kind of short video content, which has a lot of authenticity and detail, can allow an ordinary person to see the living conditions of people thousands of miles away.

Not to mention domestically, even overseas, many users in West Asia shared their daily lives during the war, and some shared some brand new things, allowing people to see some relatively novel gadgets.

For example, someone shared a short video of a small civilian consumer drone carrying a small bomb with a badminton hanging on it, which attracted great attention!

This isn’t the first time small consumer drones have appeared on the battlefield, or even in the news.

But it was the first time that people saw such a real scene!
Then a group of people, drinking coffee or milk tea, mocked the local people's backward technology... They couldn't afford fighter jets or large or medium-sized drones, so they could only play with these small consumer-grade drones.

That’s right…when small consumer drones were used in wars in the early years, they were not praised but mostly ridiculed!
Of course, we are not mocking these small consumer drones, but the group that uses these small consumer drones...we think they are backward and poor.

After all... getting a small consumer-grade drone, carrying a small badminton bomb, flying over the enemy's head and dropping the badminton bomb, seems really LOW at first glance.

Others are using all kinds of precision-guided strikes, and you're playing with small badminton bombs, which is a bit embarrassing.

But...the above are the views of ordinary people, while for some people in the industry, their eyes lit up and they swallowed their saliva after seeing this scene.

Then, Xiaojiang Technology inexplicably discovered that its drone sales in West Asia, Africa and other regions suddenly skyrocketed.

Xiaojiang Technology quickly figured out the situation, but declined to comment on it... I only sell civilian camera equipment. As for whether you buy it, modify it, and use it in other special fields, I have no control over it!
As the big boss, Xu Shenxue also noticed this situation, but he didn't care.

This kind of thing will happen sooner or later, even Galaxy Security used it several years ago...

Galaxy Security is probably the first team in the world to use small consumer-grade drones in combat, which later attracted imitation from its peers. Now this momentum has expanded to regional conflicts.

But to be honest, in Xu Shenxue's mind, this kind of small consumer-grade drone is not of much use... Others use these drones because they don't have better ones.

Although they are both small drones, Xu Shenxue, in cooperation with special agencies, has already been playing with swarms controlled by AI. They are not on the same technical level and the gap is huge.

In the field of medium and large UAVs, development is even faster!
In recent years, the improvements brought about by Xu Shenxue in the consumer electronics and semiconductor industries have not only improved the technological level of various smart terminals.

Technological improvement has always been an upward spiral. The development of various technologies and products under Zhiyun Group can also drive the rapid development of a large number of industries.

The development of AI can promote Hailan Automobile's advanced assisted autonomous driving, and can also promote the development of various types of drones. In fact, the situations faced by drones are much simpler than those faced by driverless cars.

Autonomous driving of vehicles is very complex due to various road conditions and requires very good algorithms and computing power support. Even so, it is still impossible to achieve highly intelligent autonomous driving.

But as for drones, this is relatively simpler... After all, there are no obstacles in the air, and they can fly freely under AI control.

Therefore, it is difficult to say about other fields in the past two years, but in the fields of drones, digitalization, and intelligence, the rapid development of Zhiyun Group has brought all-round benefits.
