Chapter 759: Lao Jia Builds Cars

In a daze, 14 years had passed.

Lao Jia's LeEco Network, riding the spring breeze of Daxia joining the cultural entertainment industry alliance, progressed rapidly.

The film and television investments made in these years also yielded quite good returns.

The copyrights in hand were sold across Asia at a very good price.

Plus, LeEco TV's sales took off, and these years LeEco really hasn't made little money.

But for Lao Jia, the speed is still too slow.

Not being allowed to raise financing is a major limitation for him.

To introduce projects, aside from earning money himself, he can only take loans.

He wants to imitate Marx's car-making; the investment of this money is huge, and there's also his own planned LeEco ecology.

All of these need money; although Yang Qing has given quite a bit, it's still not enough.

The opportunity is right before us; if we don't strive now, missing the windfall means no opportunity.

In terms of pulling people's legs, Lao Jia is really talented; the company truly has plenty of talent, otherwise the TV wouldn't have turned out so well.

Having achievements in hand, Lao Jia's confidence returned, and his ability to bluff went through the roof.

When Yang Qing saw Lao Jia again, to be honest, he still admired him quite a bit.

The TV turned out quite well, and LeEco Network repeatedly scored hit film and television productions.

Upon seeing Yang Qing again, Lao Jia felt a bit guilty, then began his own performance.

"Director Yang, following your instructions, LeEco Network and LeEco TV have gotten on track, and annual profits are also considerable."

"Now I'm preparing to build the LeEco ecology; for these three windows—phones, tablets, computers—I also want to get a foot in."

"At that time, using these few windows—TV, tablet, phone, computer—to achieve functional handover."

"So they can be used together in combination."

Yang Qing wasn't very optimistic.

"Do you know how hard it is to achieve interaction between these systems?"

"By the time you figure it out, others will probably already have products out."

"They might even do it better than you."

Lao Jia has indeed researched it.

"Director Yang, I'm not just bluffing; I have real basis."

"Huawei and Youlong, Tesla..."

"Anyway, the IoT platform jointly researched by many big companies has already released its first version."

"This is a system that can achieve multi-platform union."

"Although it's still quite crude now, I believe that in not many years, this system's functions will become increasingly complete."

"This is absolutely a windfall; I plan to join this alliance and then use the alliance's researched basic architecture to develop specific functions."

"Behind this system is Youlong's support; by then, the software on Youlong's system will definitely migrate to this system."

"The prospects are absolutely broad."

"I want to, through this system, combine multi-platform computing power, so that various software can run on multiple windows."

"That way, phones, TVs, tablets, and computers don't need very high-end specifications to exhibit ultra-high application effectiveness."

"Moreover, we don't fear these devices becoming obsolete; even if outdated, their computing power can still be utilized."

I damn...

Yang Qing was even startled.

Lao Jia is putting the IoT system, cloud computing, and computing power integration technology to use.

By the way, have Huawei and Youlong really researched the system?

Yang Qing called Yang Qihang.

Yang Qihang is still testing the new system; because its functions are still quite crude, it far cannot compare to the intelligent system on HK phones, but the significance represented by the new system is far more profound than that of this system on the phone.

He needs to evaluate this system's potential and calculate well the time of decline of the current phone intelligent system.

Prepare well for the platform transfer.

According to their estimate, in not many years, the HarmonyOS system will occupy the dominant position.

At this moment, Yang Qing's call came through.

Coincidentally, what Yang Qing asked about was this.

"Yes, Dad."

"The system's name has been decided; it's called HarmonyOS."

"Practical? Maybe a few more years; the current version is too crude, only then counted as completing the basic architecture design."

"If someone wants to use HarmonyOS for some development, they can only do it themselves; the alliance here is still continuing to build the system."

"As for supporting apps?"

"They can only be developed by oneself."

"Yes, Youlong here has no plan to port apps yet."

"We have to wait until the construction is completely finished."

"How long?"

"Roughly, at least another five years maybe; everything is new, many things have to start from basic R&D."

"This is an IoT system, so it also requires matching hardware standards."

"For everything to be interconnected, everything also needs to have basic interaction standards."

"Developing TVs is possible, developing air conditioners is possible, developing rice cookers is possible..."

The underlying architecture is already in place; all that's left is the detailed refinement and application-layer design.

TV, phone, computer, tablet, multi-screen linkage? Computing power integration?

No, this is individualized development; the alliance only does basic development—TV, air conditioning, etc., require the manufacturers to develop themselves.

The interaction among TV, phone, tablet, and computer requires deep development—perhaps eight or nine years, or even longer.

This is a complete solution.

The current Grand Inception is still far from that step.

Yang Qihang's answer was clear; the direction was correct, but the time is still far off.

Yang Qing looked at Lao Jia.

Lao Jia was a bit embarrassed, but this person is thick-skinned and stubborn.

"Director Yang, take a look—otherwise I'll talk about the trend."

"Moreover, their entire computing power technology hasn't even started yet—we can conduct preliminary research on it."

"By then we'll give this technology to the alliance, and we can also use it to get a share of the profits."

Lao Jia's idea is really interesting—integrate the computing power of all household appliances, then connect via cloud computing technology, which can indeed boost the computing capability of each endpoint.

If this idea is promoted, these household computing powers can also be sold.

Not only can we use it ourselves, but we can also sell it to make money.

Such appeal?

It's indeed impressive.

But Yang Qing thought about it and felt we wouldn't make much money, because compared to supercomputers, personal computing power is too tiny.

Thus the value of computing power is also much lower.

Even a few dollars or cents worth might not cover the electricity bill.

After all, major computing power centers mostly use cheap electricity.

Thinking this through, Yang Qing ignored Lao Jia's persuasion.

"We can do it, but your pie is too big."

"I want you to pick two items; as before, you first complete those two, then we'll discuss later."

"Go ahead—say which two you've chosen and how much investment they need."

Lao Jia blurted it out without even thinking.

"Phones and electric vehicles."

"Electric vehicles?"

Lao Jia has indeed come this far, showing that this guy has really researched it.

He knows the prospects of electric vehicles.

In another world he picked the wrong place; if he were doing this in Daxia, he might actually succeed.

Even Musk fled from Yingjiang; if he went to Yingjiang, it'd be surprising if he could pull it off.

The electric vehicle industry's future is destined to belong to Daxia.

Nothing much—just because here we have the full industrial chain.

Just like Jobs built a computer in a Yingjiang garage.

Because the industrial chain there is complete.

The same applies now.

Now is the time for Daxia to build electric vehicles by hand.
