Chapter 528 It’s time to shock the overseas market (First update)

No one cares about what Jiang Guyan missed, but everyone knows what other mobile phone manufacturers in Da Zhou missed.

Youmi OS!

Yuzu Technology!

In fact, whether it is Zhouwei, OV, Meizu, Huanshi, or Kupai, almost all mobile phone manufacturers in Dazhou have had contact with Youzi Technology in the early stages.

But at that time, no manufacturer reached an agreement with Youzi Technology.

Especially on the two core demands of Youzi Technology, namely the dominance of the system and the joint venture, it is obvious that they are unlikely to agree to Youzi Technology's requirements.

The basic reason for opposition in these internal company meetings was that strategic leadership could not be given up.

But in essence, it is just the arrogance of big companies.

At that time, Youzi Technology actually reminded them: after the establishment of the joint venture, if the developed system cannot bring them additional value, they can simply not purchase it, and there will be no loss for these large manufacturers.

If it can bring them additional value, Youzi Technology should get a share of the pie.

But these companies ultimately refused.

What they want more is to make Youzi Technology their outsourced scientific research unit. They provide R&D funds and entrust Youzi Technology with R&D.

Only Da Mi, which was in a supply chain crisis at the time, made a "difficult decision" after "painful consideration" and fully agreed to the requirements of Youzi Technology.

At that time, they were still laughing at Lei Jun for trying any possible means to save his life. The cash flow of Rice was already tight due to the supply chain crisis, and to spend such a large sum of money to cooperate with Youzi Technology to develop a system was just adding insult to injury.

No matter how awesome your Youzi Technology is, it is just an AI alchemy company. What kind of AI operating system do you want to develop?

What’s more, the current support for AI in both the hardware and software ecosystems is immature. Where will the hardware solutions come from? Where will the system optimization solutions come from?

Can you guys figure it out by yourselves?

It's simply a fantasy!

We are the mobile phone company! We have hundreds or even thousands of system engineers!

By the time you guys figure it out, I guess we mobile phone companies will have already developed the second-generation AI operating system.

If we can't do it, Google and Apple can probably do it. We'll just have to authorize them when the time comes.

But they never expected that in just over half a year, Youzi Technology and Dami would come up with such a powerful weapon!

Full screen + AI.

If it is just a so-called "true full screen", it would be fine.

Once the supplier has come up with it, almost all manufacturers will be able to follow suit within eight months.

But how to achieve “comprehensive technological evolution” in the rice supply chain?

How to use Youmi OS?

All manufacturers have now obtained the actual MiX machine and conducted a series of tests. The R&D heads who received the test results were speechless when faced with questions from management and investors.

To put it bluntly, even if these supply chain companies supply them with the same products, their current engineering capabilities are not enough to assemble a mobile phone with performance similar to that of Xiaomi MiX!

Even if they also find Chaoyue Electronics to manufacture MiX and connect with Chaoyue Electronics' ODM process, it will take at least ten months of design and development cycle.

Ten months, what does that mean?

For today's rapidly changing mobile phone market, this is almost the time it takes for a generation of products!

Well, even if the market can wait for them for a year, how will Youmi OS respond?

You can ignore the fancy features of Youmi OS, but can you ignore the underlying technology?

Memory-like model storage logic, memory pool replacing memory paging mechanism, completely rewritten system-level power management subsystem...

How do we do this when even Android doesn’t implement these underlying mechanisms?

The R&D departments of mobile phone manufacturers don’t even understand how Youmi OS uses Snapdragon 821 to achieve system-level AI computing!

This not only breaks the underlying architecture of Android, but even breaks the underlying architecture of Android's mother - Linux!

The only thing that is certain is that Youmi OS must have bypassed the standard Android calling path, directly controlled the Hexagon DSP + CPU pipeline, and built a lightweight system-level AI inference stack.

In their understanding, this must have crossed the red line of the MADA default agreement. Being able to pass the GMS automatic certification must have involved cheating!

What’s even worse is that competitors are still unable to publicly attack YoumiOS for violating the GMS default agreement.

The Rice MiX and Orange Big Model have now almost become symbols of Da Zhou's technological innovation. Wouldn't it be cutting oneself off from Da Zhou if I reported to Google that Rice violated the MADA agreement at this time?

However, some senior executives of major companies actually proposed reporting the incident. Fortunately, the top decision-makers were still sober and gave a direct scolding.

The hype surrounding DamiMiX has gone viral online. Didn't Google spot it? Did you really need to be the first to do so? Are you afraid of failure?

That being said, it is certain that it will not die out. The mobile Internet market is big enough and it is impossible for one company to take over.

But it is still possible that 80% of the profits will be taken away by one company.

Fruit now occupies this ecological niche.

It is obvious that what Rice wants to attack now is not the remaining 20%.

While the mobile phone industry in Da Zhou was in chaos, the production of MiX, a company that surpassed electronics OEM, was quietly increasing.

The production capacity of rice MiX is indeed insufficient. This is partly due to the immaturity of the supply chain, but more importantly, it is due to the fact that various supply chain companies face unknown risks and are afraid to make drastic industrial upgrades.

Industrial upgrading costs money.

But now, anyone can see that MiX can sell as much rice as it produces.

In this situation, the bosses of various supply chain companies are like chicken blood, almost living and eating in the factory, sleeping on camp beds next to the SMT workshop, and trying their best to improve the efficiency of the supply chain!

I didn’t dare to invest all my energy before because I couldn’t see the road clearly. Now, not only is there a road, but it’s also an eight-lane highway. Wouldn’t anyone be stupid not to invest?

You have to invest even if you have to borrow money at high interest rates!

No one could have imagined how much Da Zhou’s supply chain companies could improve their efficiency and execution capabilities now that they already have a technology upgrade plan!

There is almost a change every day!

Compared with the rapid response of Dazhou's supply chain, what is Toyota's lean production?

Lean production was invented by Toyota more than 80 years ago. It sounds mysterious, but its essence is a set of production management methods that continuously improve production processes and production techniques, continuously reduce production waste, and improve production efficiency and yield rate. The core idea is "continuous improvement."

This method was spread around the world more than 30 years ago with the popularization of MIT and has been regarded as a guiding principle by many manufacturing companies.

Many industrial enterprises in Da Zhou also studied this thing for a period of time, but later found that this thing was completely a trick to be mysterious and complicated simple things.

Something that could be improved after just a brief mention in a team meeting, but using this method and listing it as an "annual improvement item" actually reduces the efficiency of improvement.

Of course, many so-called "supply chain experts" will say: This is a complete system, a proven methodology, a classic path to optimize resources and increase production capacity while eliminating risks, etc., etc.

But in fact, we only need to give a few counterexamples: Boeing, Raytheon, and UTC also use this system, and even have lean processes and more standardized management.

Have these companies become more efficient? Has waste been reduced? Has technology improved? Has risk been reduced?

None of that. The only thing that has been improved is the "report data" of the production department every year.

Ultimately, the biggest risks for enterprises are organizational rigidity and human risks.

When laymen guide professionals, finance guides sales, investment banks guide production, and lawyers guide R&D... problems are bound to arise.

Fortunately, it is hard to say whether it will be passed down for another one or two generations, but the current manufacturing enterprises in Da Zhou are still controlled by experts.

Process improvements that might take a quarterly meeting to finalize at Foxconn can be implemented here by the afternoon after just reporting to the boss at the morning meeting.

In this way, Da Zhou's manufacturing capabilities caught up in just thirty years and became a true world factory.

With the rice supply chain running at full capacity, half a month after the press conference, the stock quantity finally reached 700,000 units on Double 11 day.

Among them, 400,000 units are supplied domestically.

The other 300,000 are, of course, overseas.

It’s time to give the overseas market some “science fiction era” shocks!
