Rewrite the Technological Landscape

In the next two days, Meng Qian met representatives of other camera brands, including Olympus, Pentax, Ricoh, Casio, etc. The purpose of these companies was to purchase, but no one mentioned any cooperation or acquisition. .

Of course, there are still some companies that do not intend to come to Dafeng Group, such as Fuji in Neon Country, or Kodak in America, they all decided to pursue Meng Qian.

As for Micron, it is even more clear. After Sony publicly stated that the data is accurate, Micron held an emergency meeting and asked the R\u0026D personnel to understand the principle of Candle Dragon and create a better CMOS image sensor than Candle Dragon.

In order to surpass Dafeng Group as soon as possible, the company directly invested 500 million yuan.

There are also a group of companies that do things differently. The representative company among them is Samsung. Samsung came to Dafeng Group on the 18th to purchase architecture authorization.

The reason they did this was that after internal discussions, they determined that this was a technological revolution, and this technology was only mastered by the Dafeng Group, so they felt that this was a great opportunity.

In Samsung's view, a gale group can support the hundreds of billions of CMOS graphics sensor market? The conclusion given by Samsung is impossible. So they are going to buy the architecture and study it carefully, and then find a way to break out of Dafeng Group's patent barriers, come up with their own architecture, and then use Samsung's status and influence to occupy this market.

They firmly believe that the new product Dafeng Group must not have time to apply for many patents. It is easy to jump out of Dafeng Group's patent barriers, and Dafeng Group is a small company in their eyes, and it is easy to suppress. How, this is not the first time Samsung has done this.

Through this method, Samsung does not know how many start-ups have been disabled. This is an international giant built on the back of bones.

And just after the Samsung representative left, on the night of August 18th, Meng Qian flew to Yanjing, and temporarily handed over the matter of connecting with the camera company to Xiao Boshi, because he was going to attend a particularly important event, the World Mathematics Home Assembly.

In 2002, the World Congress of Mathematicians was held in Yanjing, China.

The reason why I came on the 18th is because Meng Qian was going to visit a company on the 19th, Tsinghua Unigroup.

Tsinghua Unisplendour, like Tsinghua Tongfang, is a company controlled by Tsinghua, and it is also the leading domestic image sensor company that Qu Tao mentioned before.

In view of the cooperative relationship between Shanghai Microelectronics Technology and Tsinghua University, Meng Qian successfully met Zhang Zheng, the president of Tsinghua Unisplendour at this time.

As soon as we met, Zhang Zheng showed enthusiasm, "I've always heard Feng Ke talking about Mr. Meng, and I finally met him today. He really looks like a talent."

The Feng Ke mentioned by Zhang Zheng is the person in charge of the cooperation between Tsinghua University and Shanghai Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., "Mr. Zhang praised me. I'm just lucky. I always meet such noble people as Teacher Feng."

"Hahaha, Lao Feng doesn't want to be your nobleman, he wants to be your old man."

"Forehead"

"Why, didn't Lao Feng tell you? His youngest daughter just sent us to Tsinghua University this year, and he really wants you to be his son-in-law. Hahaha."

Zhang Zheng's first impression of Meng Qian was quite hearty, and he started with gossip, which seemed kind. Zhang Zheng even brought up the business first, "Mr. Meng is here this time because of the image sensor, right?"

After the simple opening, Meng Qian could probably feel that Zhang just wanted to convey his recognition of himself, and he also wanted to let go of more intrigues in business negotiations. This is the way Meng Qian hopes to communicate, and his speech will be more direct , "More precisely, it is for the field of cameras."

"Qu Tao asked you to come to me?"

"Forget it. Mr. Qu told me that Ziguang is the leader in domestic image sensors and a pioneer in the domestic camera industry, so I want to visit Mr. Zhang."

"Hmm." Zhang Zheng seemed to be thinking about something when he nodded, but he still spoke directly, like an old friend, "Tell me, what can you do to me."

"In the digital age, except for BenQ, domestic camera brands have not gone global, but after visiting Seagull, I realized that our foundation is not bad, and Mr. Qu told me that many domestic companies have their own advantages, which are enough to compete internationally. The advantage of standing in the competition is like Sea-gull's optical image stabilization technology. Many consumers don't know that Sea-gull's stability may be better than Canon's.

Now that we have such a foundation, I feel a little pity, especially this time when Dafeng Group successfully developed the Candle Dragon sensor. I wonder if we can do something to let our domestic camera brand go global. "

"You want to learn from Shanghai Microelectronics Technology and combine domestic forces, right?" Zhang Zheng said directly, and seeing Meng Qian's expression proved his guess, he couldn't help but smile, "This should be Qu Tao's Did the guy say it?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"What's the problem, doesn't Mr. Meng know?"

Meng Qian gave a helpless smile, and Zhang Zheng said, "No one is making lithography machines. If you combine everyone's strengths to make them together, of course there is no problem, and lithography machines are also national strategic products.

But the civilian camera is just a consumer product. Everyone is making it, and they all have their own brands. How to combine them? Whose brand is it after the combination? "

"I have doubts about this matter, but as one of the leading companies in this industry, Mr. Qu can give me such a suggestion. I always feel that there should be something that I don't understand, so I specially came to visit Mr. Zhang , I also want to clarify this issue.”

"That's because of Qu Tao, and the company Seagull is a bit special. You can see the history of Seagull and Qu Tao. This is a company that can die for the country at any time, and Qu Tao is not interested in civilian use at all. As for the camera, as long as Seagull is willing to spend more time on consumer-grade civilian cameras, there will be another Chinese brand name in the world." Zhang Zheng's eyes are full of regret and respect.

"It's really like this." Meng Qian relaxed a little. He also had such a guess, but he was not sure.

Looking at Meng Qian's appearance, Zhang Zheng smiled, "Mr. Meng doesn't have to be discouraged. If you want to integrate resources, it's not just the model of Shanghai Microelectronics."

"What does Mr. Zhang mean?"

"It is said that you just acquired five chip design companies from Taiwan Province and spent nearly 2 billion?"

"Well, there is such a thing."

"If you can still come up with such capital strength, it is completely enough to acquire a number of domestic camera companies, and there are many people who want to sell the company now."

Thinking what Zhang Zheng would say, it turned out to be an acquisition. Meng Qian smiled wryly, "Of course I have considered what Mr. Zhang said, but if I think about it seriously, those who are willing to sell the company will soon be unable to operate. I want to participate in the international market." Competition requires the integration of core technologies, and the acquisition of some companies that are about to fail is meaningless to me."

"But isn't the most core technology in Mr. Meng's hands? Currently, the world's most advanced image sensor is from Dafeng Group. As for the lens, Shanghai Microelectronics Technology can even make the lens of the lithography machine. I don't believe Mr. Meng has never considered entering the civilian lens, otherwise Dafeng Group would not have cooperated with Largan.

Holding the most important core technology of the two major cameras, doesn't Mr. Meng have the courage to fight? "

There was a hint of doubt in Meng Qian's eyes. After thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Zheng's words were quite honest, so he asked the doubt, "Mr. Zhang is cultivating competitors for himself?"

"Isn't Mr. Meng often doing this?" Zhang Zheng suddenly stared at Meng Qian with sharp eyes, "Deliberately telling colleagues about good game concepts, deliberately licensing software technology to peers, and recently wanting to license chip architecture at a low price. For domestic enterprises, Mr. Meng has been cultivating competitors for himself.

To be honest, at first I couldn't understand what Mr. Meng wanted to do, but now I probably understand a little bit. Mr. Meng has never bothered to compete with domestic companies. Mr. Meng's heart is abroad. That being the case, what do I have to worry about, anyway, Boss Meng won't come to compete with me.

Mr. Meng doesn't want to make cameras. The bigger reason is that he wants to give up the market to domestic companies, right? "

"Mr. Zhang has taken a fancy to me. I just exchanged some things I own from others." Meng Qian denied.

"It doesn't matter if Mr. Meng doesn't admit it, but I can tell you clearly that if you really want domestic camera brands to enter the international stage, you'd better listen to my advice. The problems encountered in the camera industry, we encountered not only technical problems, but also some historical problems, it is difficult to break the situation now, but Dafeng Group is not restricted by history, and can do this regardless of everything." At this moment, Zhang Looking very serious.

Meng Qian could faintly feel that, like Qu Tao, he felt heartache for domestic camera brands. As for the historical issues that Zhang Zheng mentioned, Meng Qian also understood in his heart that every time a technological revolution would cause giant companies from the previous technological era to collapse, this is due to historical issues.

And Zhang Zheng's words also made Meng Qian's inner hesitation begin to become firm. Meng Qian has naturally considered whether to make his own camera brand. Although Meng Qian from later generations knows that the camera market has gradually declined due to the impact of mobile phones since 2010, and it has dropped by 8 times by 2019. But even so, the camera market It has always been a market of hundreds of billions, and it reached a market of trillions in the highest few years.

Meng Qian's hesitation is indeed because if he can attract a group of domestic enterprises, then he will not do it himself. These enterprises can help the overall development of the domestic hardware industry, and he will concentrate on making chips. You can earn tens of billions of dollars in sales every year.

However, from Seagull to Ziguang, the situation of the two industry leaders made Meng Qian realize that the problems of these domestic enterprises are more complicated than he imagined. It seems that he also has his own problems, and Zhang Zheng's speech can be regarded as very direct.

In this case, Meng Qian knew that his responsibility was even greater. "Since Mr. Zhang believes in me, I will not ask hypocritically, if Dafeng Group really makes cameras, can Ziguang's technology be authorized?"

"As long as Dafeng Group can normally supply Ziguang and authorize the technology we want, Ziguang will naturally be willing to exchange equally."

"Then it's settled. I will keep Mr. Zhang's words in mind."

Meng Qian got up and stretched out his hand. When Zhang Zheng was shaking hands, he obviously hesitated for two seconds before speaking, "Mr. Meng, an industry can indeed be driven by an enterprise."

Meng Qian looked at Zhang Zheng sincerely, "Mr. Zhang's mind is admirable."
