Nowadays, state-owned assets holding is a prerequisite for entering China, and foreign auto companies want to make money in China, they must abide by this. For the SAIC-Rolls-Ross automobile joint venture, SAIC did not have nothing. They also contributed money and technology, as well as land, factories and workers, as well as SAIC's large-scale raw material acquisition and sales channels.
The unified acquisition of raw materials has a large scale and a strong premium capacity.
In addition, how difficult it is to establish channels, needless to say, the brands of foreign companies can quickly open up the market in China and increase brand awareness, largely relying on the sales channels of Chinese auto companies.
Although the outside media has always thought that Rolls-Royce Motor Company has fallen, it is not. SAIC-Rolls-Royce Motor Company develops and designs a new brand car. As for the brand name, Li Zetian suggested that it should be named "Veyron", which is naturally not a Bugatti Veyron. The dragon is a Chinese totem and belief, and the Chinese have always claimed to be the descendants of the dragon. Therefore, the name "Dragon" is very localized, imposing, and easy to remember.
SAIC Group agrees with this name very much.
In addition, Li Zetian also thought of a slogan for the new "Veyron" brand: "China's Rolls-Royce!!!"
The slogan not only promotes the Veyron brand, but also promotes Rolls-Royce, letting people know that Rolls-Royce is the top luxury car in the world. These four words symbolize the supreme glory of the automobile industry! ! !
Frankly speaking, China at this time is a little bit foreign-loving, always feel that the moon in foreign countries is rounder, and it has a good face. Even if the Veyron is a low-end car, they will still think that it is a Rolls-Royce among low-end cars. The best quality car among low-end cars!
Riding such a car, doubly face! !
What brand is the Santana car? Can there be a Veyron hanging
No matter how much Santana brags, he can't blow the words "Rolls-Royce"!
If the price of the two is the same, with the good-faced character of the Chinese, most of them will choose the Veyron!
Rolls-Royce Motor Company sent more than 20 technicians to the joint venture company to guide the work. If it is purely handmade, the level of craftsmanship is naturally higher, but Veyron does not have to do it so well, it needs automotive technology and theory Guided and then mass-produced through machinery and equipment. As for the development time of the new car, it is expected to take one or two years, that is to say, it will be possible to launch the product in 1983.
Li Zetian has been researching artificial intelligence and robots, and the entry point of robots is industrial robots, because industrial robots can make money, and the development of other robots may not be profitable for a long time. While developing industrial robots, we have accumulated a lot of technology and experience.
As long as he thinks of RB's Fanuc company, Li Zetian thinks that this company is incredibly powerful. Since the advent of FANUC's first robot in 1974, FANUC has been committed to leading and innovating in robotics technology, and is the only company in the world that uses robots to make robots. There are as many as 240 types of FANUC robot product series, with loads ranging from 0.5 kg to 1.35 tons, which are widely used in different production links such as assembly, handling, welding, casting, spraying, and palletizing. Moreover, the FANUC CNC system occupies 70% of the global market share, and it is the world's first in a well-deserved reputation, firmly sitting on the top of the four major families of industrial robots.
Now, Li Zetian has bought Rolls-Royce and established a joint venture in China, so the industrial robot company has also been put on the agenda! In addition, the scale of the ant factory is growing day by day, which requires a lot of machinery and equipment. It is better to develop it yourself than a cheap RB manufacturer!
Li Zetian's crazy money is largely to build a top robot company with a high degree of artificial intelligence! This is a very expensive and extremely difficult goal!
However, since the previous acquisition frenzy has cost him a lot of money, the robot company's plans can only be put on hold.
When Li Zetian accompanied Yu Jingqiu at home, on March 3, 1981, the AMR company led by Wei Xiuping finally developed the ARM1 processor, which has powerful performance and is very suitable for workstations and servers. Therefore, Sun Computer Systems immediately replaced the original Intel8086 processor with an ARM1 processor, which greatly increased the performance of Sun graphics workstations. Industrial Light and Magic alone has placed an order for 100 workstations from Sun Computer Systems.
Once the ARM1 processor was released, it attracted great attention in the industry and became a rookie in the processor company!
Originally, the discussion on the merits of the RISC reduced instruction set and the CISC complex instruction set has reached a fever pitch. As soon as the ARM1 processor came out, the media, scholars, and university research institutions immediately favored the RISC simplified instruction set, and ridiculed the CISC complex instruction set. However, Intel's 8086 and 8088 processors developed based on the CISC complex instruction set have been invincible in the personal computer market!
The ARM1 processor is not suitable for use in personal computers, and currently only works great on high-performance computers!
People admire Intel Corporation, and both RISC and CISC have to grasp it, and both have been successful!
The Wall Street Journal even used the word "horror" to describe Intel when it reported on it.
Li Zetian put down the newspaper and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Intel Corporation is indeed quite scary!"
Dongfang Yuqin said: "Mr. Li, IBM is also fully developing processors based on the RISC simple instruction set, and John Kirk, the father of the RISC architecture, is an employee of IBM..."
Don't talk about this, Li Zetian has a headache when he talks about this. John Kirk is the top architect of RISC. In 1972, he received the highest honorary title awarded to internal employees by IBM. Can't dig. For his outstanding contributions to RISC and compiler optimization, John Kirk later received the Turing Award, the highest honor in computing.
"No way, the big deal is to compete!" Li Zetian comforted himself, it was this person who led IBM to develop the famous POWER processor.
To be honest, Intel is not afraid of anything in chip design, even IBM is not its opponent.
IBM is big and complex, and it is involved in everything; while Intel is big and sophisticated, specializing in research on chips.
Judgment!
"By the way, Mr. Li, I just acquired the news. Apple is in contact with Warner Bros. and intends to acquire Sunbird. Warner Bros. lowered the original $2 billion offer to $650 million..." Dongfang Yuqin said, "Apple wants to use Sunbird's development capabilities to quickly develop new game consoles and accompanying game software, and most importantly, Apple can develop products that are compatible with the Atari 2600, so that, Once a new console is released, it will have a large number of players of the original game because they have game cartridges that can be played on the new console!"
"Hey, Apple wants to play big!" Li Zetian was surprised, "Where did they get so much money?!"
"With the support of the Rockefeller consortium and the California consortium, Apple loaned $700 million from the bank..." Dongfang Yuqin explained.
Li Zetian frowned. Apple's actions did pose a great threat to Flamingo.
Mala next door, the consortium has the support of the bank is awesome!
PS: I'll add a chapter first, so that everyone can't wait.
