129 Thinking Along a Different Line

Zhou Shaoyun’s words lifted Li Chengqian’s mood instantly.

This feeling that someone was supporting and watching over him made him feel at ease.

He was also moved!

Besides feeling moved, he also started thinking along a different line.

After hearing what Wang Renfei and Zhou Shaoyun said, he realized that there was really no need to manufacture a phone!

First of all, after being blacklisted by Google and the other large manufacturers, they couldn’t buy the best components. The phones they manufactured wouldn’t be top-notch phones.

Secondly, the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company was state-owned and would act according to the will of the country. The country’s current will was to support the development of the Divine Dragon System. Naturally, there wouldn’t be any mistakes in the promotion of the Divine Dragon mobile phone.

If he authorized the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, nothing will go wrong such as to damage his reputation.

Thirdly, the country was supporting him. He also needed to express his gratitude. Authorizing the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company to use the Divine Dragon System was the best way to do so.

“President Li, it’s not difficult to manufacture a phone. Many people can do it well! But developing an operating system is very difficult. From the invention of computers until now, there have only been three types of operating systems in the entire world! You did it! Your talent in software development is unparalleled. You should focus on software, instead of something easy and meaningless like manufacturing a phone.” Wang Renfei also advised.

“Our country’s foundational software is still very weak!”

“Apart from the mobile phone operating system that you completed, we are far behind other countries in computer operating systems, foundational database software, EDA software in the electronics field, and PLM software in other industrial fields…”

“The CPUs designed by Intel, AMD, and ARM are being updated with the help of advanced EDA software. Our country doesn’t have advanced EDA software. It takes three years to complete a replacement design. Its performance isn’t as advanced as others…”

“It’s the same in other fields!”

“The domestic photolithography machine can only produce 90 nm chips. The product quality rate is still very low, and the most advanced photolithography machine in the world can already produce 4 nm chips!”

“That’s why Google and other related giants are able to blacklist us.”

“Because they won’t sell us the advanced production tools at all! They won’t sell them no matter what price we offer! They control the manufacturing and sales of high-end lithography machines, and they also control the chip manufacturers. In the end, they will be able to control the entire chip industry.” The Qilin chip designed by Huawei was also very advanced, but after it was blacklisted, no chip factory was willing to accept their orders.

This was the root cause of the disappearance of the Qilin chip.

“President Li, I suggest that you consider the decision to manufacture phones carefully. Anyone can manufacture phones, but in the critical area of software, only you can do it! I think it’s a waste of your talent to spend time and energy manufacturing phones.” Wang Renfei concluded solemnly.

“President Wang, you flatter me.” Li Chengqian quietly listened to Wang Renfei’s words and made a decision in his heart. “I can authorize your companies to use the Divine Dragon System.”

The National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company was a state-owned company and could be trusted completely. It would definitely not destroy the Divine Dragon System’s name.

Huawei was still being sanctioned, and the Divine Dragon Software Company was in the same boat. Moreover, Wang Renfei had shown enough sincerity.

“President Li, what do you think of the price of 200 yuan per phone?” Zhou Shaoyun smiled.

“Two hundred yuan is too expensive!” Li Chengqian continued and said very seriously, “My ideal price for the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is 100 yuan per phone!

“No problem!” Zhou Shaoyun naturally had no issues.

“Sure, this price is not expensive.” Wang Renfei nodded. He was very satisfied with this price.

“However, if you want to use the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, there are conditions!” Li Chengqian continued.

“Firstly, the source code of the system will not be released. The version update of the system will be controlled by the Divine Dragon Software Company.” Li Chengqian needed absolute control of the Divine Dragon System.

“Secondly, the system will always only have one software installation gateway, which is the built-in app store within other app stores.” Li Chengqian had just suffered the episode of the App being taken off the app stores, he wouldn’t suffer the same mistake twice. He also wanted absolute control of the installation gateway.

“Thirdly, you need to provide detailed hardware parameters and hardware drivers for your phones…” On this point, Li Chengqian was completely thinking for the phone manufacturers. He was trying to ensure that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System would be useful on the phones!

Zhou Shaoyun agreed without thinking. “President Li, no problem. When do you want to sign the contract? I can transfer the system usage fee for 60 million phones to the Divine Dragon Software Company first.”

“I have no objections either!” Wang Renfei also nodded. He was very satisfied with the usage fee of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System.

The three of them sat down and went through the details of their collaboration.

Before leaving, Wang Renfei said worriedly, “President Li, we can’t be too optimistic. They are now warning the first-rate manufacturers that they can’t sell their chips to us. We can still buy products from other manufacturers at the moment… However, we can’t rule out the possibility that they will use the same tactics to prohibit the second-rate manufacturers from selling chips to us!”

“In order to curb your development, they might even ban software chip manufacturers from working with you. They are capable of this! Even domestic chip manufacturers have to give in to their demands!”

“Also, these people will do anything for their own benefit. They have no regard for any laws. You’d better get a few security guards to ensure your safety.”

After the two of them left, through Wang Renfei’s words, Li Chengqian realized that the most serious thing that would make him vulnerable was the photolithography machine.

If he didn’t resolve this problem, he would forever be held ransom and could only suffer in silence.

Li Chengqian muttered in his heart, “Personal interface”, summoning the game interface of the Master of all Professions game, something he hadn’t done in a long time.

Immediately, a translucent interface appeared in front of him.

Li Chengqian’s gaze fell on the skills of the Worker profession.

[Expedited Processing (Master): Consumes strength. Under the premise that raw materials are provided and manufacturing principles are mastered, you can quickly create non-software industrial products that you have mastered.]

[Measurement Accuracy (Master): You are extremely sensitive to size. With your palms and eyes, you can detect deviations above 1 nanometer.]

[Manufacturing Principles (Master): You can consume a large amount of Strength Stats and master the manufacturing principles of any machine in an extremely short period of time. When the prerequisite knowledge conditions are not met, the required knowledge and the corresponding level can be displayed.]

“Actually, as long as I’m given some time, I can also build a photolithography machine!”

For lithography machines, there were three things with the highest technical difficulty.

Camera! Light source! And the console.

As long as Li Chengqian was given a sample, he could analyze using the Manufacturing Principles skill, and then use the Expedited Processing skill to replicate these key core components.

Moreover, even if he couldn’t obtain a sample, with the Measurement Accuracy (Master) skill, he could spend some time and even craft it by hand.
