Chapter 836 - There's Still a Long Way to Go
"Mr. Hu, Xiao Chen, aren't you in Pengcheng? What...... "At the door in front of the company's office building, Chen Xuesheng saw Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang getting off the car, and asked suspiciously.
When Fang Guoping went to deal with the brand-new Mercedes-Benz, Hu Mingchen called Chen Xuesheng and asked him to get a car to pick them up.
"Uncle Chen, let's talk about this later, let's go, go and see the new mobile phone you said. Hu Mingchen prevaricated in a word.
Regarding this encounter on the road, Hu Mingchen did not plan to tell Chen Xuesheng, nor did he plan to tell Ma Jiahao about them, he planned to solve this matter by himself.
Even, Hu Mingchen didn't want Hu Jianqiang to interfere, so when he was in the car, he let go of his speculation, and Hu Mingchen hurriedly interrupted him and didn't let him say it.
This is not a simple business matter, and even if they know about it, it will not help, so why worry. Although when they left, those bastards did not tell who was behind it, but Hu Mingchen believed that they could dig it out.
"Oh, okay, okay, go upstairs, let's go to the technical department. As soon as he heard that Hu Mingchen still wanted to see new products, Chen Xuesheng's attention was immediately diverted.
When such a thing happened, Hu Mingchen still tried his best to come to Pengbo Technology to see the newly developed smart phone, which is really too influential for the future.
The person who greeted Chen Xuesheng downstairs was Hu Mingrong, but they didn't talk much, but when they went upstairs, Hu Mingchen patted him on the shoulder, which was a kind of silent greeting.
In the past, Pengbo Electronics Company only had one building, but after expansion, it has become two buildings, and all the company's production has been moved to the six-story factory building next to it, and the first one has become used by the administrative and technical departments.
went up to the conference room next to the technical department on the second floor, Chen Xuesheng invited Hu Mingchen and them into the conference room, and Hu Mingrong went to call He Xin.
Soon, He Xin came over with a small box, and He Xin was very excited to see Hu Mingchen and them.
"Manager He, your technical department has developed a smart phone? Take me a look. Seeing He Xin, Hu Mingchen couldn't wait.
"yes, this is our first molded product, and it's in this box. As he spoke, He Xin put the box on the conference table, and then took out a mobile phone with a white shell from it.
Without waiting for He Xin to send it to him, Hu Mingchen stood up and took the initiative to drag the mobile phone into his hand, and carefully rubbed it repeatedly.
Press the button to turn on, find out the interface through the home button, and then find out the same function inside by touching the button.
Hu Mingchen's movements made He Xin very surprised.
He Xin can't be surprised, because this product is the second time he has taken it out, and Hu Mingchen has seen it for the first time, but he can use it without explaining it himself, you know, this mobile phone is very different from the mobile phones on the market at present.
But then He Xin was a little relieved, this product itself was strongly promoted by Hu Mingchen, and he, the R&D manager, was also approved by Hu Mingchen, and in the process of research and development, He Xin also communicated and discussed with Hu Mingchen remotely many times.
"Xiao Chen, this is a mobile phone, can make calls, send text messages, can still listen to music, can still ...... What are you talking about, is it such a small thing?" Hu Jianqiang next to him looked at the so-called mobile phone in Hu Mingchen's hand, very puzzled.
"Mr. Hu, this mobile phone can't go directly to the Internet for the time being, however, you can connect to the internal WiFi, and you can listen to music, but it's still unstable, and the memory is too small, only sixty-four trillion, and it often crashes. He Xin touched his forehead and said.
"That'...... That's a defective product, who is this thing sold to?" Hu Jianqiang was a little stunned at the time.
"Third uncle, don't worry, it's really commendable that they can make it like this. Hu Mingchen waved his hand.
"Mr. Hu, thank you for your understanding, for this product, our more than 200 engineers work more than 10 hours a day, sometimes as much as 14 hours. He Xin was moved.
For this product, He Xin really led the scientific research team day and night, and sometimes he simply lived in the company for two or three days.
"It's all because our foundation is too thin, Manager He, is this screen an LCD?" asked Hu Mingchen.
"Yes, although multi-touch technology has existed for many years, but before that, it has not actually been used in consumer electronics, especially the use of this 3.5-inch small glass screen, for this reason, we have tackled the problem for three months before this technology is solved, in addition, at present, it can provide this LCD technology, there is only one foreign-funded enterprise in China, in order to let them help us produce, we can only grab their production capacity gap, and Mr. Chen came forward, said and said, begged and begged, they agreed. He Xin said.
"If it can be solved, today we will beg them, and another day it will be his turn to beg us. Hu Mingchen bowed.
"Xiao Chen, how could people come to us, this is a big LCD factory, and it is not our own enterprise in the mainland. Chen Xuesheng said.
"Now there is only one, I think, it will not be long before a second and third will pop up, and once we have this product on the market and the sales go up, it will be their turn to grab our orders. At that time, it was up to us to decide which one to choose. Hu Mingchen replied.
"Xiao Chen, can this product really sell well? I see that this operation keyboard alone is a problem, and most people will not be able to adapt to it, after all, the mainstream is a physical keyboard now. Moreover, there are several parts of this mobile phone that have not been well solved, one is the operating system, we have no experience in doing this kind of operating system at all, and the second is the mobile phone chip, and now there is no professional chip specially used in this mobile phone on the market, so ......" Chen Xuesheng worried.
"So you think its market prospects are worrying?"
"I'm really a little worried, all the profits of our company are smashed on this, if he can't do it, we will be in the same place in the past few years, and other companies dedicated to OEM have developed into a large factory with thousands of people. Chen Xuesheng said heavily.
When he called Hu Mingchen, Chen Xuesheng was still quite excited, but after chatting with He Xin and their scientific research team, half of his excitement was extinguished.
"Uncle Chen, I know, this thing in my hand is still relatively rough, I used it just now, the reaction is slow, and the thickness is thicker than I thought, this should be connected to the signal, right? The signal is not very good, but we can't lose confidence in it because of this. Really, it's pretty good to be able to do this. I am very optimistic about his prospects, and the OEM factories you envy will envy you very much in the future. Hu Mingchen said confidently, and then looked at He Xindao, "Manager He, how do you solve the operating system and chips?"
"Mr. Hu, we can only use Intel's chips for the time being, Qualcomm doesn't provide them to us at all, and as for the operating system, we are mainly based on Li
The ux platform is used to write program code, while borrowing something from 0SX. In fact, we still haven't finished this part, because all the current systems have to be reduced by at least 90% to operate on the current chips, which is very difficult, and our company is obviously not enough to have relevant technical personnel in this area, and because there are no better chips, we can only test the program code in a simulated way. He Xin replied.
"Manager He, I'll ask you now, if this product is based on the company's current scientific research capabilities, how long will it take to be mass-produced and marketed?"
"This ...... It's about another year. He Xin was not very sure.
"A year? no, a year is too long. Hearing this time, Hu Mingchen's brows furrowed.
"Mr. Hu, we have tried our best, whether it is to solve the problem of the operating system, or to find a compatible way with the chip, to make the signal stable, it takes a lot of work, for the 64M memory we are not satisfied, I plan to improve to 128M, just to make this mobile phone stable support3G signal, I'm afraid we need half a year to ......"
"Wait, you're saying this phone supports 3G?" Hu Mingchen interrupted He Xin.
"Yes, our product is connected to the 3G standard of the International Telecommunication Union, and in our previous tests, it can be achieved from time to time, but it is not so stable, which may be related to the fact that our place is a certain distance from the signal tower. ”
"Hahaha, hehehe, okay, okay, I didn't expect you to solve this technical problem, based on this alone, Manager He, your entire technical research and development team has a 30% salary increase. Hu Mingchen said very happily.
Hu Mingchen really has a reason to be happy, although he doesn't know the first generation of iPho
e Well, he hadn't used it, but one thing he knew was that it didn't support 3G, and it took more than a year for them to fix it.
Although He Xin's team is not satisfactory in many aspects, but with this alone, they can barely reach a tie with the other party.
"Xiao Chen, a 30 percent salary increase? We don't have that much money now, and the money spent by their R&D department every day is very amazing, if we raise the salary by another 30 percent, we will only have to sell the factory." The company now has not a penny on its books. Hearing that it would cost more, Chen Xuesheng immediately jumped out.
I don't blame Chen Xuesheng, Hu Mingchen is not at home and doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, he is usually not in the company, so he has no personal feelings. And when he is in the company, he often has to face the problem of He Xin asking him for scientific research funds. On the surface, the company makes a lot of profits every year, but if the money is used to fill the hole of He Xin and them, they will be clean in a month or two. Even if Hu Mingchen smashed in 100 million before, he saved and saved, deducted and deducted.
