Chapter 797: The First Smartphone
Hearing Xiao Jingxuan's words, Chen Ping's pupils also shrank slightly, and then he took a deep look at Xiao Jingxuan in front of him.
In fact, Chen Ping already knew this news as early as half a month ago, and in the past half a month, Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. has been making the first prototype.
After all, there is no complete production line yet, even if it is just a prototype, it needs to be made by Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. with all its might.
Only in this way can we truly complete the production process of this first beautifully shaped smartphone.
And at this moment, this first prototype is placed in this lockbox in Xiao Jingxuan's hand.
This is a smart phone that the entire Thunder Technology Co., Ltd., relying on the memory of Chen Ping's previous life, took more than half a year and invested a huge amount of nearly 200 million yuan to finally develop a smartphone.
Although nowadays, some companies in the outside world have begun to develop smartphones, and even some companies have broken through many hurdles and developed some first-generation smartphones.
But in fact, most mobile phone companies have only just stepped into the threshold of smart phone research and development, and there are still many aspects that are not perfect, compared with those smartphones more than ten years later in Chen Ping's memory, there are still many defects.
Whether it is software or hardware, there are many shortcomings.
It stands to reason that although the registered capital of Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. is as high as 200 million, it is still far from those mobile phone companies around the world.
With the strength of Thunder Technology Co., Ltd., it is impossible to develop a complete smartphone under normal circumstances, after all, the technical conditions required for this are far beyond the imagination of normal people.
Without Chen Ping's help, I'm afraid that Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. may not be able to develop a complete smartphone on its own in a few years.
I'm afraid that it can only be done to complete the development and design of some of these accessories or software systems.
However, now, the first smartphone of Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. has completed the production of the prototype and brought it to Chen Ping.
Although Chen Ping already knew about the launch of this smartphone half a month ago, even so, he only saw some pictures, and did not see the prototype of the first smartphone.
And now, looking at the lockbox in front of him, Chen Ping's breathing involuntarily became short.
Chen Ping knows very well that if Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. really completes the production of the first smart phone, it will be a earth-shaking innovation for the entire smart phone industry.
You must know that in Chen Ping's previous life, although Huaxia's smartphone industry is also booming, and the smartphone market far exceeds that of other countries, in any case, in terms of smartphones, many smartphone research and development companies in Huaxia, and even smartphone brands, need to rely on various technologies from other countries.
Whether it's hardware or software, it seems to be a step behind everywhere.
Especially at many key nodes, it is completely dependent on foreign imports.
This situation lasted for nearly 10 years in Huaxia before it was resolved, and it gradually got rid of the dependence on foreign accessories manufacturers and even software developers.
Now, what Chen Ping wants to do is to be ahead of all other smartphone R&D companies in the world at the beginning, and be sure to master the most critical technology in his own hands.
This is not only for Pingyu Group and even Thunder Technology Co., Ltd., but also for the entire Huaxia smartphone industry.
And in order to do this, in Chen Ping's previous life, or 10 years later, Huawei first took a step, and then started the vigorous development of the Chinese smartphone industry.
However, the smartphone industry in the whole world is still in its infancy.
At this time, Chen Ping's support for the Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. created by Xiao Jingxuan and others will become a trendsetter of the times.
If you change to someone else, let alone invest 200 million, even if you invest 200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
You must know that the key involved in this, as many as hundreds of technical problems, is by no means something that ordinary people can do.
But Chen Ping is different.
He had a complete memory of his past life in his mind.
In Chen Ping's previous life, there was a period of time when Chen Ping, as a programmer, had an in-depth understanding of all aspects of smart phone technology because of the conflict between the Chinese smartphone industry and the foreign smartphone industry.
Although Chen Ping is really not a professional in terms of hardware, he has seen the hardware data of most smartphones.
After all, more than ten years later, that is, after 2020, many information in the smartphone industry was leaked because of an accident, although these materials are only the information of the first generation of smartphones, and the confidential information related to those big brands of smartphone companies has not been leaked.
Of course, Chen Ping just watched it, and at that time, he was just having fun, and even some places didn't know why at all, but at least, there was information about these materials, as long as he read them, then the memory reappeared after rebirth, and he could reproduce them completely.
But even so, the information of these first-generation smartphones is extremely important for today's Thunder Technology Co., Ltd.
After all, even the largest smartphone R&D companies in the world today have only just stepped into this threshold.
There are even companies that are just beginning to realize the importance of smartphones, and they have no clue about the development of smartphones.
At this time, Chen Ping, who has a complete set of first-generation smart phone information, can accelerate the smart phone research and development work of Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. thousands of times.
With the support of the information in Chen Ping's mind, the smartphone developed by Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. has actually solved more than half of the hundreds of key problems.
The research and development of the first-generation smartphone, presided over by Li Tianhai, only needs to solve less than 1/10 of these problems.
Although these problems seem to be difficult to solve, I have to say that in this regard, Li Tianhai is indeed a genius, and the R&D personnel of Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. led by him are the top elite talents in the industry.
Although there is still a big gap between the entire R&D team and the R&D teams of the top mobile phone brand companies in the world, in the development process, the team led by Li Tianhai is completely different from the R&D teams of all other mobile phone brand companies.
Under normal circumstances, no matter what mobile phone R&D team needs to do research and development from scratch, especially in the research and development of smart phones, because there is no previous experience to learn from, so any mobile phone R&D team wants to develop a complete smart phone, and every problem needs to be found and solved in the continuous research and development process.
The goals of all mobile phone R&D teams are relatively vague, and no one even knows what these smartphones will become after the final development.
But Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. is different.
The R&D team led by Li Tianhai has had an extremely clear direction from the beginning, and 90% of the technical problems have been completely solved.
Although this is only a description of the first generation of smartphones, it is precisely because of this that it is much easier to learn and understand.
As for those problems that have not been solved by Chen Ping, although they can only rely on the team led by Li Tianhai to do their homework one by one, but in any case, even for these problems, Chen Ping has already put forward an extremely precise direction, as long as there is a direction, the efficiency of research and development will be improved by 10 times and 100 times.
After combining these reasons, Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. was able to completely develop the first smartphone in less than a year.
Of course, if this smartphone is placed more than ten years after Chen Ping's previous life, I am afraid that anyone will feel that this so-called smartphone is really a bit primitive, and it will not be particularly convenient to use.
But in any case, this is already a smartphone developed by Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. alone.
Every part of this smartphone, even every software, and even the entire smartphone system, is developed by Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. alone.
This is simply a huge miracle in the history of the smartphone industry.
You must know that even if there are giants in the international smartphone industry in the previous life, there are few who can rely on the strength of their own companies to develop smartphones from beginning to end.
Most of the mobile phone accessories and so on actually need to be purchased externally, rather than developed and produced by their own companies.
After all, for the entire smartphone industry, which has gradually matured after more than ten years, the cost of purchasing various parts and even various software systems is still lower.
As long as the main core technology is in the hands of the company, it is fine.
Those cumbersome software and hardware development work is rarely carried out by mobile phone companies.
In the eyes of many, this is simply a thankless task.
But Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. is different.
Because from the very beginning, Chen Ping knew very well that Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. must not rely on external factors for development.
Although in this way, the capital, manpower and material resources that need to be invested in the development process of Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. will be extremely huge.
Now it is only the research and development of the first generation of smart phones, with the information in Chen Ping's mind as an aid, so only a few dozen people R & D team can complete the development of this first smart phone, and in the future, if you want to further develop and research smart phones, the required R & D team is likely to be as high as hundreds or even thousands of people.
But even so, Chen Ping could only do this.
Because Chen Ping knows very well that the entire smartphone industry is in the ascendant, even if it is found all over the world, there are few mobile phone companies that can independently complete the research and development of a smartphone.
I am afraid that only by combining thousands of mobile phone companies and even mobile phone accessories research and development companies around the world with the most advanced technology can we synthesize a relatively primitive smart phone.
In other words, if Thunder Technology Co., Ltd. wants to walk in the forefront of the entire era, there is no way to rely on anyone else, so it can only rely on its own strength.
