Chapter 395 Winning the Bet of the Century, the Tianyu Series Returns to the Historical Stage

"Am I seeing right? 4299 yuan? It didn't even break 5000 yuan? Mr. Chen, you won't only make 100 yuan again, right?"

"Geek X1 is 3799, and Geek X2 with 7nm Huaxia chip is 4299, which only increased by 500 yuan. Can the R&D cost really be recovered?"

"Raise the price a bit, Mr. Chen! We are afraid that you will make too little money and may go bankrupt one day. How will we game geeks survive then?"

"4299 yuan is just stuck in the price range of 4000-5000 yuan, neither up nor down. Currently, there are only two mobile phones in this price range, one is 4800 yuan, the Apple 8 equipped with A10 neural engine bionic chip, and the other is 4999 yuan, the Korean Galaxy equipped with 10nm Snapdragon 835 chip S6, Mr. Chen is a bit like encircling Apple and Hanxing Group. "

"For the 90-frame early experience qualification, I can only say, King of Glory, start!"

When the price of Geek X2 was announced, potential buyers on the entire network were shocked. This price was something they had not expected.

You should know that the number of operations per second of Huaxia chips can reach 3 trillion times, far exceeding the 1.3 trillion times of Apple's A10 neural engine bionic chip. For a chip of this level, it is not too much to give a premium of 1,000 yuan, right?

However, no one expected that the price of Geek X2 would only increase by 500 yuan!

The 500 yuan was used to upgrade the X series OLED screen of Jingdongfang, the latest set of connection accessories developed by Luxshare Precision, as well as the shooting module, motherboard, and storage chip. The most important thing is that the processor chip was upgraded.

The press conference was full of cheers, and users were all filled with surprise.

In stark contrast, Ku Ke and Li Jae-yong had tense faces, and their eyes were full of solemnity and fear.

Chen Xing's pricing is very clear. He wants to grab users with extreme prices and super high performance, and further digest the base of competitors.

Why do you say that?

It's very simple.

A large part of users actually buy devices because they are attracted by the performance and fluency of Apple and Korean phones, such as live broadcasters.

99% of the current King of Glory anchors use Apple 8 phones. Chen Xing has studied it carefully. The 60 frame rate of Apple phones is completely different from the 60 frame rate of Android phones. The picture sense of the former is much better.

It is precisely because of this that he specially found Xiao Ma Ge and decided to open a higher frame rate for Geek X2 to narrow the game experience gap between mobile phone users.

Now seeing the reaction of users on the scene, he knows that he made the right bet.

The most popular mobile game in 2015 is King of Glory. As long as it can satisfy its game users, it can digest a large number of game developers and hit the base of rival users at the same time.

"We must take countermeasures."

Ku Ke thought to himself.

On the other side, Li Jae-yong's heart was in his throat. He found that the three "world-class" announced by Longxing Group overseas have already achieved two world-class status.

Lithium battery capacity and fast charging technology are undoubtedly far ahead, and Longxing Group started with this.

Huaxia Chip, which is a chip technology, beat them to a pulp, and the chip research and development direction of Longxing Group has taught a lesson to scientific researchers all over the world.

Conquer nano-process?

It is better to conquer stacking technology!

The third world-class is the optical shooting module, commonly known as the mobile phone camera, which is the foundation of Hanxing mobile phones that have always been far ahead and based on the European and American markets.

Li Jae-yong held his breath silently, waiting for Chen Xing to speak.

However, Chen Xing on the stage did not notice him at all, but looked at Ku Ke, and asked with a smile: "The price of the new Geek X2 has also been announced. I almost forgot one thing. President Ku Ke, you still owe me one dollar. When do you think you can pay?"

The moment the voice fell, the audience looked at the front row, and the camera in the live broadcast room was also aimed at Ku Ke.

"Damn it."

Ku Ke gritted his teeth.

He is now in a difficult situation. He thought Chen Xing would not bother with him, after all, the bet was only one dollar.

The Dragon Country businessmen he dealt with in the past have always been "leave a line for others, forgive others when you can", why is it that Chen Xing is so aggressive and wants to make him lose face?

Ku Ke instantly frowned, and after several hesitations, he still stood up, took out the one dollar he had just put back in his pocket and walked onto the stage.

The century bet has been lost. If he does not fulfill his promise, Ku Ke is afraid that the media will publicize that he is not trustworthy, which is a bit not worth it.

For people with a good reputation, face is more important than money.

When you have no money, you need to lose face to make money. When you are rich and famous, you need to spend money to maintain face. This is the difference between people of different classes.

If poor people care more about face, they probably won't make much money, or save much money, because all the money is used to maintain appearance.

Similarly, if the rich elites don't use money to package themselves, once the dirty things they have done are exposed, what awaits them may be public abuse and difficulties in business.

As Ku Ke handed over the US dollars, the reporters at the press conference also turned on the shutter mode, wanting to capture the moment of the banknotes being handed over.

"Thank you."

Chen Xing took the banknotes.

"Ka Ka Ka -"

The flash lasted for several seconds, Ku Ke nodded slightly, did not speak, and returned to the front seat with a gloomy face.

Chen Xing held a US dollar and praised Ku Ke, saying: "I believe you have seen that I have successfully obtained Ku Ke's one dollar. The century bet can also be perfectly concluded at this moment. At the same time, I also want to praise Ku Ke for keeping his word and give you a thumbs up."

"Puff——"

The audience couldn't hold back, and applause and laughter were intertwined.

In the front row, Lei Bush couldn't help but tease: "In terms of insulting people, I feel that we all have to learn from Chen Xing. It seems to be a praise, but in fact it is dragged out and whipped again."

"Hahaha, this kid really holds a grudge."

Ren Guofei agreed with a smile.

"If he didn't hold a grudge, he wouldn't be him, but this is the attitude that human nature should have." Zhou Hongwei took the opportunity to speak.

"That's right."

Luo Hao also nodded and continued: "How does that sentence say, repay evil with virtue, what is the second half of the sentence?"

"How to repay virtue."

Le Bush completed it for him.

"Right, right, right. Repaying evil with kindness is not a way to repay kindness." Luo Hao nodded quickly and continued, "If someone stands on your head and shits, and you still say it's okay, then everyone will think you are easy to bully. This is an ancient saying."

While the domestic alliance bosses were discussing privately, Ku Ke's face became more and more gloomy. He was now sitting on pins and needles, with a thorn in his back and a lump in his throat. He was uncomfortable all over.

In front of the audience all over the world, he admitted that he lost. He had the courage, but he would also lose face.

Seeing that the press conference was now in chaos, Chen Xing did not force him. He suppressed Ku Ke just to make him restrain himself and show his attitude to the forces behind him.

"Okay."

Chen Xing pressed his hand.

The audience who saw the gesture and the domestic alliance bosses shut their mouths and refocused their eyes on the podium.

"I have seen the Longxing series and the Geek series. Next, I will announce a new series flagship."

"???"

"???"

As soon as the voice fell.

The question mark barrage filled the live broadcast room.

The audience at the press conference couldn't help cheering, and they were very excited and started talking again.

"Damn! The third flagship!"

"One press conference, three flagship phones, is Mr. Chen going to empty our wallets in all directions and without blind spots?"

"Follow me, camera flagship!"

"Camera flagship!!!"

"Camera flagship!!!"

"Camera flagship!!!"

The words "camera flagship" continued to spread around, and in just a moment, everyone at the press conference was shouting camera flagship.

This also reflects the market users' demand for domestic high-definition camera flagships.

At present, in the field of optical photography, Sony, Canon, Hanxing, and Carl Zeiss are the only four companies, and some companies have been accumulating for more than a century. It is really harder than climbing to the sky to surpass them.

"Is it true?" Li Jae-yong was nervous, and his chrysanthemums were subconsciously clamped.

If Longxing Group launches a new flagship camera in a niche field, then Hanxing mobile phones will face the same front and back attack from Longxing Group's two new flagships as Apple mobile phones.

The two CEOs of Sony and Canon Group were very alert. Unconsciously, they subconsciously held their breath and their heartbeats began to accelerate.

"Is it true?"

Luo Hao looked at Lei Jun.

Lei Jun looked at Ren Guofei and asked in the same way: "Is it true?"

Xiao Ma Ge, Wang Fu, Zhou Hongwei and other local enterprise CEOs all looked at Ren Guofei, and their eyes seemed to ask: "Is it true?"

They all knew that Longxing Group and Kunpeng Company were close, and the headquarters of the two companies were even separated by a street. The probability that Ren Guofei knew the inside story was much greater than them.

Looking at the eyes focused on him, Ren Guofei shook his head and said: "Maybe, I'm not sure."

The optical field is too important. It is not only a problem of mobile phone shooting technology, but also related to many extended fields.

For example, face recognition, portrait tracking, 3D imaging, etc., they all rely on technical support in the optical field.

Optics is equivalent to eyes. After installing eyes on the machine, its operational space is greatly improved.

However, this field has been monopolized for too long. Longguo is not even being strangled, but has not made any layout at all. After a century of accumulation, Longguo enterprises are somewhat at a loss.

Just as Ren Guofei finished speaking, Chen Xing doubled his volume, put away the smile on his lips, and solemnly announced:

"Longxing Group is a company that focuses on user experience and technological innovation. We are well aware that users are the foundation of our business, and user needs are also the direction and motivation for our progress. So I announce that the Tianyu series, which focuses on the field of optical photography..."

"It's coming!!!"

When the three words "It's coming" were said, Chen Xing pressed the remote control in his hand, and the PPT page switched pages instantly.

The appearance of the Tianyu series appeared on the LED screen, with a thin body, smooth body lines, and four eye-catching cameras on the back of the phone.

"Oh my god!!!"

"Is Tianyu really a sub-series???"

"The camera phone is finally here. Mr. Chen's mobile phone business is all covered. I just don't know how much this phone will sell for."

"Mr. Chen is awesome. He always responds to requests!"

"What a beautiful appearance. The corners are also curved. The most important thing is that the body feels so thin. It's full of fashion!"

The audience's cheers and shouts of excitement corresponded to Lee Jae-yong's disbelief and horrified eyes.

There really is a camera phone…

Korean mobile phones can dominate the European and American markets and overwhelm Apple mobile phones. What core technology does it rely on?

No need to think about it, it’s just an OLED screen and shooting module!

What European people who love outdoor sports and are keen to record their lives need most is not exaggerated mobile phone performance, but a device that can record their lives.

It is precisely because of different customs and different needs for mobile phones that they have different needs for mobile phones. This has led to Korean star mobile phones with OLED screens that have brighter colors and clearer photos, which have completely suppressed the sales of Apple mobile phones in the European and American markets. .

No matter how popular Apple mobile phones are all over the world, the European and American markets are still dominated by Korean mobile phones, but now, the "two brothers" are facing the same competitor, which is the Longxing Group led by Chen Xing.

Sony Group CEO Hirai Fujio also looked solemn, stroking the mustache at the corner of his mouth and said solemnly: "Without a century of accumulation, can Longguo Enterprise really conquer the field of optics?"

He didn't believe it.

Canon Group CEO Yoshioka Ryota who came with him also expressed his opinion at this time: "It may be a bluff."

To conquer the field of optics is no less difficult than conquering chips.

Moreover, their annual R&D costs are as high as tens of billions of dollars. It is impossible for Longxing Group to invest so much money in R&D. They now have two answers in their hearts.

1. Chen Xing is bluffing.

2. Someone provided technical support.

Just as the two of them were guessing, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again, switched to the PPT page and introduced: "Please allow me to introduce systematically, the third one tonight is the world's top, that is, we have used a lot of advanced technology. Stacked CMOS sensor developed. ”

"Stacked CMOS sensor?"

"Stacked CMOS sensor?"

Lee Jae-yong, Hirai Fujio, and Yoshioka Ryota all subconsciously repeated Chen Xing's words, and the shock in their eyes became more intense.

Stacked CMOS sensors, this is a research and development direction that was just announced. They have just invested manpower and material resources. Is it possible that Longxing Group has already conquered it?

Chen Xing at the podium glanced at them. The reactions of these optical bosses were very consistent with his expectations. He continued: "Maybe many users don't know what a CMOS sensor is, and they don't know what the leading stacked CMOS sensors are. Technology, here tonight, I will give you a systematic science introduction, just listen to it. "

The modesty at the end not only did not make the audience and the boss at the scene despise Chen Xing, but they all listened attentively, not daring to miss even a single detail.

"First let's talk about what a CMOS sensor is."

"Its full name is, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Sensor, which is a semiconductor device used for image capture. It is a key component in modern digital cameras and many other imaging devices. It works by converting light into electric charge. These charges are then converted into voltages, which produce digital signals that are processed and ultimately displayed as images."

"So what is a stacked CMOS sensor and what are its advantages?"

While Chen Xing was asking and answering questions, he pressed the LED screen remote control in his hand to turn the screen to the next page.

The PPT page displays countless technical bubbles, with stars surrounding the middlemost shooting lens module.

"Double Stacking Technology"

"Multi-layer stacking technology"

"HDR High Dynamic Range Technology"

"PDAF phase detection autofocus"

"Silicon through-hole technology"

The moment the stacked technology bubble appeared, the scene was boiling again, and the barrages in the live broadcast room also began to surge.

"It's stacking again! Could it be that the ultimate direction of the semiconductor field is not nano-processing, but stacking technology?"

"Semiconductors! Strictly speaking, a CMOS sensor is just a chip. This is why the United States will continue to suppress our semiconductor chips."

“Every method remains true to its roots, and with the efficient application of stacking technology, we may really be far ahead of the world this time!”

While the barrage in the live broadcast room was still popping up, the cheers on the scene were getting louder and louder. No one thought that "multiple stacking technology" could be extended to the field of optical photography.

Chen Xing did not interrupt their cheers, but gave them time to vent.

It was only after in-depth research that he learned that the semiconductor field was stuck, which affected not only chips, but also CMOS sensors with special chips.

This can also explain why the West is so afraid of the Dragon Kingdom conquering semiconductor chips. It has too many things in its hands.

After the voice subsided slightly, Chen Xing continued to explain: "Compared with traditional CMOS sensors, stacked CMOS sensors separate the pixel layer and circuit layer and connect them vertically through silicon through-hole technology."

"This double-layer or multi-layer structure will efficiently convert the captured light into electrical signals and transmit them to the signal processing circuit on the bottom substrate. Unlike traditional CMOS sensors, the electrical signal transmission distance of this design is shorter. Faster response times and lower energy consumption.”

"Since the stacked CMOS sensor adopts a layered design, the pixel part, circuit part and cache part can be independently optimized, and the performance will naturally be significantly improved. The stacked design will make the size of the entire CMOS module smaller, which is beneficial to limited applications. Achieving higher pixel density within the space results in higher image quality.”

"Okay, after talking about stacked CMOS sensors, let's talk about microlenses." Chen Xing changed his tone, with a calm demeanor and confident words. He didn't look like a layman at all, but more like a senior academician in the semiconductor field and optics field.

Li Zaiyong, who was sitting in the audience, was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Chen Xing's calm and professional explanation on the podium, and a bold idea came to his mind.

"Isn't Chen Xing a scientific research engineer?"

He was not the only one to have such an idea. Sony Group Hirai Futuro, Canon Group Yoshioka Ryota, Carl Zeiss Group representatives, and even the royal chaebol who came to take advantage of the melon were all stunned. Chen Xing's professionalism was too strong, and they were so powerful. I think Chen Xing actually has two careers.

On the surface, he is the CEO of a billion-dollar group, but secretly he may be a scientific research engineer.

Princess Charlotte of the British royal family looked around to see if there was a teleprompter or something. This level of professional knowledge could speak so smoothly and calmly without a teleprompter. She also doubted whether Chen Xing would have another one. His identity was not exposed.

Ren Guofei, Rebus, Duan Yongping and other domestic alliance bosses all swallowed their saliva and looked at Chen Xing in surprise.

No one's success is accidental. Without a teleprompter, the managers present thought they couldn't do it because of the effort put into writing down so much content.

It's not scary to have talent. The most terrifying thing is that people who have talent but work hard are destined to make a big difference.

Chen Xing was not a mind reader and had no idea what the bosses in the audience were thinking. He also interpreted their surprised looks as "praise" for Longxing Group's breakthrough in the field of optics.

"After talking about the stacked CMOS sensor and Longxing microlens, let's talk about PDAF phase detection autofocus."

He did not stop and continued to talk about the shining points of his own lens module.

"PDAF phase detection autofocus integrates phase detection pixels on the sensor to improve focusing speed and accuracy. To put it bluntly, the focusing function is faster and more accurate."

"correct."

"We also have a built-in high-efficiency image processor that can perform image processing such as noise reduction, sharpening and color correction while shooting to reduce the burden of subsequent processing and increase processing speed."

The moment he finished talking about the innovative technology, Chen Xing suddenly changed the topic and continued: "It is also a collection of thousands of technologies. Our Longxing Group's first CMOS sensor is called Tianyan, model TY-001, so its Pixels are…”

After a half-second pause, he pressed the remote control and announced: "20 million!"

"Wow——"

The audience was completely overwhelmed.

"20 million pixels?"

"This...what else can I say? The Apple 8 has a 12-megapixel Sony IMX315, the Korean Galaxy S6 has a self-developed 14-megapixel camera module, and Mr. Chen's Tianyu series actually has a 20-megapixel camera. This is so far ahead." It’s done!”

"Awesome! Far ahead!"

"Far ahead" gradually began to spread, and the audience at the press conference all shouted. The deafening "way ahead" impacted everyone's eardrums, causing pain.

The barrage in the live broadcast room also changed from a screen full of question marks to a screen full of "far ahead". No one expected that Chen Xing was the king again, and he was the king who crushed his peers.

On the other hand, Lee Jae-yong, who was in the first row, looked visibly panicked and kept mumbling: "It's impossible..."

"impossible…"

"Longxing Group was still in deep financial crisis in 2014. How could it possibly develop a 20-megapixel shooting module in just two years? This is absolutely impossible!"

His questioning voice was too small, and was instantly "covered far ahead", and could only be heard by himself.

On the other side, Hirai Futoshi and Yoshioka Ryota also couldn't believe that the mobile phone camera module achieved 20 million pixels. How did Longxing Group do it?

Just when they were stunned, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again.

The next second.

The slogan of Tianyu series appears.

"Don't let inferior lenses ruin your beauty"

"Be confident, you could shine like a star"

"Tianyu X1"

"???"

"???"

Seeing the advertising slogan on the LED screen, Gu Ke and Lee Jae-yong almost couldn't hold it back. Isn't this the same slogan they used when they disparaged Longxing X2 and Longxing A1?

What's the meaning?

What do you mean, Chen Xing?

Just copy and paste on the face, right? ? ?
