Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 166 Planning to Promote PHS (Big Chapter)

There is no urgency to acquire Pixar and establish DL&M.You know, both companies need high-performance computers, or graphics workstations.

As the saying goes: If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

SGI Silicon Graphics of the United States is the most famous developer of graphics workstations at present. Just last year, Silicon Graphics launched the first batch of RISC (Reduced Instruction Set) workstations, becoming the first batch of RISC workstations in the world.

Films such as "Jurassic Park", "Lord of the Rings", and "Crash Landing" were all produced on SGI's graphics workstations.

The success of "Titanic" is largely due to its extensive application of computer animation, which successfully simulated the tragic scene at that time.The world-renowned digital studio Digital Domain spent a year and a half using more than 300 SGI super workstations to produce the computer special effects in "Titanic".

It can be seen from this that the significance of graphics workstations for computer special effects companies.

It just so happens that the computer developed by Wujiang Group is also a RISC computer, which belongs to high-performance computing. As long as it is improved, it can develop a graphics workstation, and it is expected to make great achievements in the field of supercomputing, competing with Silicon Graphics and IBM.

In the previous life, SGI achieved more than half of the market share of the world's 500 largest supercomputers in the field of supercomputing.

And in this life, history may change.

Wujiang Group should get a piece of the supercomputer market.

When it comes to the research on RISC (Reduced Instruction Set) computers, whether it is SGI or ARM, they can't keep up with Wujiang.

无疆在赵烨的带领下，致力于RISC芯片的研究，先后陆续推出了8位的麒麟1处理器和16位的麒麟2处理器，现在就连32位的麒麟3处理器也都快开发出来了。

In fact, it is not difficult to develop a 32-bit RISC processor.

Acorn Computer Company, the parent company of ARM, developed a 32-bit ARM1 chip in less than a year a few years ago, and also launched a microcomputer with an ARM1 chip.

The Loongson Design Company under the Wujiang Group is no longer "Wu Xia Amon". After several years of development, the technical team of the Loongson Design Company has already been cultivated, and its technology is far superior to that of ARM.

Just simply compare a set of data to know the gap between the current Godson Design Company and ARM.

ARM developers: about 10 people.

Kirin microprocessor series developers: about 200 people.

The two are simply incompatible.

Although ARM has produced a 32-bit processor, its performance is not strong, and it can only continue to find ways to improve it.

The Kirin series designed by Loongson Design Company was aimed at powerful performance from the very beginning.

Only by striving for perfection, the 32-bit Kirin 3 processor can be used in personal computers and compete with Intel chips.

And ARM chips, so far, are also difficult to obtain large-scale applications in personal computers.

In addition, because of the competition from Kirin 1 and Kirin 2 chips, it is more difficult for ARM to develop.

If nothing else, ARM has no chance of rising at all.

In fact, Godson Design Company aims to create an extremely advanced "Godson Architecture", which was researched and designed by Zhao Ye based on his previous understanding of multiple simplified instruction set architectures such as ARM, MIPS, and RSIC-V.

There is no need to consider too many patent issues, because many technologies have not yet been developed.

Then, as long as Loongson Design Company develops it first, these technologies are the patents of Loongson Design Company, and they can also curb the development of competitors.

Loongson-based chips have great advantages, such as small size, low cost, low power consumption, high performance, fast instruction execution speed, pipeline processing, and modular functions...

The modular function of "Godson Architecture" is designed so that according to specific scenarios, a suitable instruction set can be selected for development.This modular function allows developers to easily design server CPUs, home appliance CPUs, industrial control CPUs, and even CPUs used in sensors smaller than fingers based on the "Godson" instruction set architecture.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many developers of Kirin series chips.

It can be seen that the Kirin chip is actually a kind of Godson architecture.

Now, as long as the Kirin 3 processor comes out, Wujiang Group can release the personal computer brand, and further design and develop graphics workstations, servers, and supercomputers.

……

At noon, Zhao Ye had dinner with the senior executives of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio and chatted by the way.

Zhao Ye picked up a piece of beef, chewed it slowly, and listened to what they said about the studio.

"Boss, the works of Zheng Yuanjie, the king of domestic fairy tales, are very good. Our studio intends to adapt his works, such as "Shook and Beta". I don't know if you have seen them." Xu Xiangming, the director of the studio, said while eating .

Hearing this, Zhao Ye immediately thought of "Shuck who drives the plane, Beta who drives the tank". Although he has never read fairy tale novels, he has seen cartoons, and his children loved watching cartoons at that time. I also watched it a little bit.

"Shook and Beta" is a very interesting work, and the popularity is quite high.

So, Zhao Ye suggested: "I haven't read it, but you can try to adapt it."

"Boss, I think we can make cartoons about historical figures to spread Chinese culture and let children learn Chinese history through cartoons!" Director Tang Cheng suggested.

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "This idea is good, and it deserves strong support!"

"It should be played in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and let the children in the two places watch it, so that some children will not even know about China's history when they grow up."

"In addition, it is sent to TV stations all over the world for free to spread Chinese history and culture, and let the children of foreigners know that China is a country of etiquette with a long history of 5000 years. Occupy this fertile land of North America..."

If Lao Mei dares to disgust herself in the future, she will take the initiative to help make American history cartoons and actively promote how Americans gained a foothold in America.

It's so glorious!

This is Liberal America, Democratic America!
Zhao Ye drank two mouthfuls of chicken soup, and continued: "You can also adapt Chinese myths and stories. Come to think of it, such cartoons will definitely be popular. Alas, there are too many Chinese cultures. If we really want to adapt all of them, we will be too busy!" "

Zhao Ye smiled.

Xu Xiangming, Wan Laiming and the others thought so deeply, and nodded involuntarily to express their agreement.

Zhao Ye suddenly thought at this time that although there are many good things in China, foreign works cannot be completely negated.

Can Meiying Studio produce Disney's "The Lion King"?
And what about Jurassic Park?

What about Harry Potter?

What about "Pirates of the Caribbean"?

Wouldn't it work to make a magic change and add a lot of Chinese elements?

Who said there is no magic in China?

China not only has magic, but also Qimen Dunjia, astrology, Maoshan Taoism, Gushu and so on.

Japan's ninjutsu comes from China's Qimen Dunjia. How about a Chinese version of "Huoyin Ninja"?Isn't it fragrant?
Zhao Ye's mind was full of thoughts, and it was difficult to express them all at the moment.

But the most important thing right now is to make "The Lion King" ahead of Disney.

"The Lion King" is Disney's cross-age masterpiece, it can be called a global classic epic masterpiece, and it is also the pinnacle of the 2D animation era that cannot be reproduced.

Zhao Ye feels that Shanghai Animation Film Studio's animation production skills are no worse than Disney's. What Disney can do, Shanghai Animation Film Studio can also do.

Immediately, Zhao Ye chatted with everyone about the story of "The Lion King".

"By the way, I have a story about "The Lion King". Take a look and see if it can be made into an animated movie?" Zhao Ye said.

When everyone heard the words, they all listened attentively.

"The Lion King tells the story of a little lion's revenge... The little lion is called Simba, and he is the little prince of the lion kingdom. His father, Mufasa, is a majestic king. However, Uncle Scar is against Mufa Sha's throne has been coveted for a long time. However, in order to sit on the throne, Scar must get rid of the little prince. Therefore, Scar used various excuses to let Simba go out, and then waited for the opportunity to kill, but was rescued by Mufasa immediately... …

After repeated calculations, Mufasa died tragically at Scar's hands. Scar persuaded Simba to leave with ulterior motives, and on the one hand sent someone to kill him.During his escape, Simba met the witty Timon and the kind-hearted Peng Peng. They raised Simba to grow into a majestic lion and encouraged him to go back to the forest to restore his country.In the next struggle to restore the country and save the people, Simba truly grew into a strong man and understood the true meaning of responsibility! "

Just saying that, they may not be able to make "The Lion King" well. Zhao Ye thought about it and added: "After I go back, I will write a more detailed content for you, so that you can adapt it into an animated movie."

In the previous life, "The Lion King" had a very high income. Home entertainment, box office revenue, derivative product licensing, musicals, etc., created 154 billion US dollars, becoming one of the 50 most profitable IPs in the world, ranking 27th.

In any case, Disney can't be cheap, that's an act of supporting the enemy.

In order to ensure success as soon as possible, Zhao Ye felt that he had to write the story of "The Lion King", determine the style of the animated film, and give some opinions from time to time.

154 billion US dollars, it is worth Zhao Ye's trouble.

In addition, Zhao Ye also wants Shanghai Animation Film Studio to produce "Jurassic Park", make it into an animation, and arrange for someone to adapt it into a novel and distribute it abroad.

"Jurassic Park" is a novel published in 1990 by Michael Crichton.

The Shanghai Animation Film Studio has made a magic change, changing the names of people and places, as long as the plot is roughly the same.

As long as the work was released in 1988, more than a year earlier than Michael Crichton's work, who would dare to say that Shanghai Animation Film Studio plagiarized?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but draw a smile on the corner of his mouth. This rebirth is good. I know many things in the future, and it's hard not to get rich!

Zhao Ye put down the bowl and chopsticks, he was full.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and said to Xu Xiangming, the director of the studio: "By the way, Director Xu, this year, Shanghai Animation Film Studio must make an animated film "Pokemon", and then "The Brave" Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ye paused, he was hesitating whether to make "Calabash Brothers" into an animated movie.

Saving Grandpa, Snake Fighting is the main plot, but more sub-plots must be added to enrich the plot of the movie, otherwise the movie will be too monotonous and there is not much content to say.

Shanghai Animation Film Studio has many professional screenwriters. They are much more professional than themselves, so we still call them storytellers.

The game "Calabash Brothers" is very popular all over the world and has a large number of fans. When the animated movie of the same name comes out, there should be many fans enthusiastically supporting it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ye finally decided to make "Calabash Brothers", and he ordered: "There is also "Calabash Brothers", which will also be made into an animated film!"

Shanghai Animation Film Studio has more than 200 employees, and the number of painters is sufficient. It is not a problem at all to set up multiple projects at the same time.

People in China who are interested in engaging in animation production can only go to Shanghai Animation Film Studio to seek work at present. Other domestic enterprises cannot continue to run animation companies, and they will suffer from Japanese animation and Shanghai Animation Film Studio animation. Attack from both sides.

Both animations are free, so how can other companies compete?It's completely useless...

The TV station will never buy your cartoons. Isn’t it good to have free cartoons?

This has also led to the fact that the scale of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio is growing like a snowball.

Zhao Ye is happy to see the result.

With the help of Shanghai Animation Film Studio, he can make all the popular IPs in his previous life into cartoons in advance, and preempt the copyright registration.

However, Zhao Ye is conscientious, first to grab foreign IP, as for domestic IP, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you grab it or not.

As a university professor, Zhao Ye's writing ability is not bad.

Basically be able to express your thoughts clearly through words.

A few days later, Zhao Ye handed over the outlines of "The Lion King" and "Jurassic Park" to the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, which was considered a major event.

At the end of the day, I still haven't forgotten to remind them to send people to Africa to collect folk songs, so that the animated images drawn will be lifelike.

……

In the United States, Disney has not yet started production on The Lion King.

It is said that the work "The Lion King" was inspired by late 1988, and the production of the film began in 1991.

By the time Disney was ready to make it, the daylily was cold.

"Brother Wang, take me to Wujiang Communication Technology Company." Zhao Ye ordered the driver and bodyguard Wang Shuang in front of him.

"Ok."

Under the watchful eyes of Xu Xiangming and others, several black tiger-headed cars drove away.

……

"Boss, the PHS technology has been successfully developed, and has applied for patents in all major countries. Look, when will the PHS technology be promoted?" Lu Jia asked expectantly.

Zhao Ye was a little hesitant when he heard the words. If the PHS technology is promoted now, what about the BB machine?
The cost of PHS is very low, and the price is not much more expensive than BB machines.

Once the PHS is listed, it is bound to seize the BB machine market.

Alas, this put Zhao Ye in a dilemma.

"PHS aside, has Motorola launched a text BB machine?" Zhao Ye asked.

"Motorola hasn't announced it yet, but according to gossip, Motorola's text BB machine has also been successfully developed and is about to enter the mass production stage."

Zhao Ye heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "From now on, the factory will fully produce two-way text BB machines and program-controlled switches. The one-way BB machines should be discontinued, and they will be sold before other companies launch text BB machines."

"Also, contact the post and telecommunications bureau to test their attitude and whether they are willing to promote PHS technology in China!"

If PHS wants to cover the whole country, it needs to invest in the construction of many base stations, which will cost a lot of money and must be carefully considered by the country.It takes a lot of time just to research and discuss.

Then laying the base station will take a lot of time.

Without a year or two, PHS will not be widely used.

The BB machine can still sell well for two years. Of course, even if the PHS is promoted, it doesn't mean that there will be no market for the BB machine.

The price of BB machines can be reduced to a few hundred yuan. Those who cannot afford PHS can buy BB machines.

As the so-called "small profits but quick turnover", maybe the sales of BB machines are quite impressive.

"By the way, how is the development progress of cdma technology?"

"The progress is slow. Compared with European GSM, it is still a little bit worse. I estimate that our cdma will not be commercialized until Europe begins to popularize GSM..." Lu Jia shook his head and sighed, "After all, we are later than them Three or four years."

GSM digital mobile communication technology was released in 1987, and European countries gradually began to deploy GSM.

It is difficult for cdma to enter the European market.

However, the Asian market is up for grabs.

The cdma technology of Wujiang Communication Technology Company is immature, so it has to be replaced by PHS for the time being.In fact, PHS is more in line with the national conditions, and it will only develop more rapidly in China.

……

At this time, domestic postal services and telecommunications have not yet separated.

If the PHS technology is to be promoted in China, it must obtain the approval of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

Lu Jia began to visit the post office frequently, introducing the technical advantages of PHS to the leaders in detail, and striving to reach a cooperation between the two parties.

At present, the two sides are in good contact.

Although the PHS technology has a big disadvantage, it can only be used in the province because it cannot make roaming calls, but most people do not need the roaming function to make calls. If you really want to make roaming calls, you can make calls through fixed lines.

Coupled with the low cost of PHS, it is very suitable for domestic promotion.

Therefore, the PHS technology soon attracted the attention of the Post Office and even higher departments...

"Unexpectedly, Wujiang Group gave us another huge surprise!"

"Haha, Zhao Ye is a good person. In recent years, Wujiang Group has developed rapidly and made great contributions to the country. The field of semiconductor technology has also caught up to the world's first-class level!"

"..."

Zhao Ye didn't know that he had entered Zhongbeihai's sight again at this moment, and the leaders praised him a lot...
