Chapter 1200 Smartphone
Liu Tao took out a mobile phone.
The shape of this mobile phone is very beautiful. It is very different from the mobile phones on the market now. It can be said that it has a completely new look in appearance.
Moreover, Liu Ziyu noticed that this phone has no keyboard!
"Brother, is this a mobile phone? Why doesn't it have a keyboard?" Liu Ziyu asked.
"Well, this is different from other mobile phones. It does not have a keyboard, but innovatively introduces a multi-touch touch screen interface." Liu Tao nodded and said: "This mobile phone has very excellent internal configurations, which can be said to be a qualitative improvement. ”
"Look at this fuselage. It is only 9.3 mm thick and has a fully flat back cover with sharp edges. The shell is made of special glass and has strong anti-friction capabilities. In terms of configuration, it has a Kirin processor with a main frequency of 1GHz and 512MB of memory, paired with a 3.5-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 940×640 pixels, and new display technology to make the normal screen display smoother.”
Liu Tao introduced, "The camera function has been improved to an unprecedented level. The pixels have been increased to 5 million pixels and support autofocus. In addition, a 5x digital zoom and built-in LED fill light have been added."
"In addition, a three-dimensional gyroscope is added to the mobile phone and bound to the acceleration sensor and compass, which allows people to better experience the game." Liu Tao said.
Liu Tao showed Liu Ziyu the operation.
This mobile phone was actually invented by Liu Tao in 2002. The reason why it has not been launched yet is mainly because of the construction of an industrial chain.
Such a smartphone involves a huge industrial chain.
Liu Tao naturally wants to keep the industrial chain in China as much as possible so that China can have more employment opportunities.
Liu Ziyu was shocked. She did not expect that the mobile phone Liu Tao took out was so advanced. This was completely beyond her expectation.
She now finally believes what Liu Tao said: the market for mobile phone software services is no less than that of computer software services.
This is a huge market!
And it is a brand new market. Whoever can seize this brand new market will find a profit growth point.
Liu Tao continued to introduce to Liu Ziyu that the scale of the hardware market is in the trillions of RMB, and the software market is also in the trillions of RMB.
Although all kinds of mobile phones are now called smartphones, compared to the mobile phone in Liu Tao's hand, it is simply weak.
It will take almost only three to five years for this smartphone to replace the previous mobile phone in major markets around the world.
The more Liu Ziyu experienced it, the more she liked it. She said, "Brother, can you give me this phone?"
Worried that Liu Tao would not agree, Liu Ziyu couldn't help but act coquettishly.
"Okay, take it if you like it, but keep a low profile. The new product launch conference won't be held until late March." Liu Tao said helplessly.
By now, the entire production chain has been constructed and trial production has begun.
If Panshan Group hadn't had very strict requirements and a very strict quality control system, it would have already been in mass production.
But even so, after the Spring Festival, mass production will begin.
It is expected that in 2005, this smart phone named "Kirin Phone" will produce more than 7 million units, which is expected to bring revenue of 1.0 to 1.4 trillion to Panshan Group.
And this is only the first year. As the market opens up, sales will continue to rise.
Liu Ziyu is very happy. She likes this smartphone very much, both in terms of appearance and excellent performance.
"A new product launch conference will be held in late March? When will it go on sale?" Liu Ziyu couldn't help but ask.
"It will go on sale at the same time." Liu Tao said.
A high-level meeting was held in the capital.
There were less than 50 people attending the meeting.
They even included retired comrades who participated in the meeting as consultants.
At the meeting, the comrades in charge of intelligence first introduced the latest intelligence situation after the meeting began.
The United States' victory in the Iraq War triggered a series of chain reactions.
The repercussions here radiate to the whole world.
Because Iraq is a powerful country in the Gulf region and is also rich in oil, Iraq's failure will inevitably affect other Arab countries.
The Middle East is the world's energy center. Oil and natural gas are two types of energy that are indispensable to modern society.
Once the United States uses Iraq as the fulcrum and gradually gains hegemony in the Gulf, it will have a huge say in the world's energy. By then, too many countries will have to look at the face of the United States.
In recent years, China has been continuously strengthening the diversification of energy imports and can continuously import oil and natural gas from all over the world.
In terms of natural gas, China is not bad, because China also has abundant natural gas reserves. The proven natural gas reserves are 5.5 trillion cubic meters. This is because China’s proven natural gas reserves are low. According to estimates, China’s natural gas reserves are 5.5 trillion cubic meters. It may be as high as 30 trillion cubic meters. China's natural gas is nothing more than a problem of difficulty in extraction.
In Southeast Asia, the total natural gas reserves are about 10 trillion cubic meters; in the 14 countries of South Asia, the natural gas reserves are 1 trillion cubic meters.
As long as China makes great efforts and opens its hands to exploit natural gas, the natural gas will be enough for China + ASEAN + South Asia 14 Alliance. Even if Japan and South Korea are added, it will be enough.
It is nothing more than the price of natural gas. The cost of extraction is slightly higher and the cost of use is slightly higher.
The real problem is oil!
China is not a country with rich oil resources. At present, China's total proven oil reserves are 25.655 billion barrels. This number seems large and can be ranked 13th in the world. Moreover, China also has a large amount of shale oil reserves. The proven reserves of shale oil are about 366 billion barrels, which ranks third in the world, second only to Canada and the United States, and the proven reserves of shale gas are about 36 trillion cubic meters, ranking first in the world.
However, China's oil resources are scattered. For example, the distribution of terrestrial oil resources in the western region accounts for about 49%, and most of them are in very complex and harsh geographical environments such as deserts, mountains, plateaus, and swamps, which makes oil extraction difficult.
Moreover, according to China's crude oil production of 184 million tons in 2004, China's oil reserves (excluding shale oil) are only enough for development for 19 years.
And the high cost of oil extraction here can be imagined.
At present, oil prices are high, and the high cost of oil extraction is acceptable, but if oil prices fall sharply, it will not be appropriate!
Even if the oil from Southeast Asia and South Asia is added, to be honest, it can only be used for less than 30 years.
At present, China's refineries not only support China, but also support the vast areas of Japan, South Korea, ASEAN and the 14 South Asian Alliance, and have a stable responsibility for the supply of refined oil to these regions.
China is naturally very clear about the potential benefits here. (End of this chapter)
