Chapter 94: Prototype
Weihai City, Mangyu Hi-Tech.
Ni Sisi showed a cute expression and exclaimed: "Wow, the total area is 3,869 square kilometers! It is equivalent to more than a dozen Weihai cities, boss, your territory is really big!
Su Lei rolled his eyes: "Come on, why don't you talk about the population? The population of my land is less than 15,000, but it's only one-twentieth of the sea of the sea! What's the use of just looking at the size of the territory, Antarctica is so big......
The city covers an area of less than 300 square kilometers, but it has a permanent population of more than 300,000. Of course, after all, Weihai is a local area, or a prosperous port city, and overseas provinces must not be compared.
Wu Xuezhou said with a smile: "The entire Zhanzhou is a new territory, and it is normal for there to be more people and less land. But according to the boss, there are a few more candidates. ”
Su Lei nodded: "Yes, a total of six plots of land." If you want to talk about the population, it must be the two areas north of Daji Port and Longyan Island that are the largest, with more than 30,000 people, but the area is much smaller. There are more than 100 square kilometers north of Daji Port, and there are more than 300 square kilometers on Longyan Island. ”
The canonized territories of the Great Xia Empire are all considered comprehensively, and it does not all depend on the size of the territory. Those with large populations, many resources, fertile land, good climate, and close to the mainland will have smaller territories. Otherwise, there are more. In summary, there are a number of assessments in this regard.
For example, the area north of Daji Port is the closest to the mainland and has the largest population. In addition, because it is an alluvial plain, not only is the land extremely fertile, but also extremely flat, and all of it is a useful area, and there is no area that is difficult to develop. Therefore, the area of the fiefdom will naturally be smaller.
For example, Cangding Town, which Su Lei chose in the end, covers an area of nearly 4,000 square kilometers, which is larger than many counties and even counties in the mainland. The reason for this is that it is so far away from the mainland, the population is small, and it is very much mountainous and close to active volcanoes, so the territory is naturally much larger.
Of course, the fiefs that the empire has divided cannot be too bad land, otherwise it will not be a reward, but an exile. It's like the deserts in the Western Regions, the glaciers, permafrost, and swamps in the North, and the green deserts in the South Seas.
As for the size of the nobles' territory and the size of the population, in fact, the empire did not have clear written rules.
It is only after many subdivisions that a convention has been formed, namely: the lorddom is usually one to several villages, the baronety is usually one township, the viscount is usually one to several townships, the countdom is usually one county, the marquisate is usually several counties, and the duke is one province.
As for Guogong, that's another matter. This title is very special, it is the Grand Duke of the Western Continent, the territory is also called "a certain country", equivalent to a semi-independent vassal state, in addition to various standards to unify with the empire and abide by the constitution, even the right to issue currency, diplomatic power and legislative power have some, and the relationship with the empire is much closer than that of the vassal state.
So far, the empire has only sealed four princes, two in Kunzhou, one in North Luzhou, and one in South Luzhou, all of which are capable Ping clans and thugs.
After talking about the fiefdom for a while, Su Lei got down to business: "Has the smartphone sample come out?"
Ao Guanhai still had that hearty smile: "Yes, boss." In accordance with your instructions, we signed an OEM agreement with an electronic equipment company, and commissioned them to further optimize and improve the company's original design for mass production, and the day before yesterday we had already made ten prototypes. All tests have met the design ......"
As he spoke, he opened the box in front of him, and there were ten new mobile phones neatly lined up inside, but each one had a slightly different appearance.
Ao Guanhai explained: "Boss, their functions are exactly the same, but the appearance design is a little different, which one is the one for us to use in the final decision......"
Su Lei picked one up casually, looked at the appearance, then looked at the design drawings and instructions, and finally turned on the machine and tried it.
As soon as you turn it on, you can see the difference, the resolution, color and frequency are far from being comparable to the current mainstream 2G mobile phones, and the handheld computer is at the same level. Then the interface is also a familiar smartphone interface,I see that there are several pre-installed software inside,This look is obviously a new application software。
"Boss, the operating procedures and these new software are all developed by our Mangyu Hi-Tech ourselves, some are independently developed, and some are going to ......be mobile phones after the original software is authorized," Ye Huanmeng next to him hurriedly expressed his efforts.
Su Lei picked it up and operated it a few times, and found that it was similar to the first generation of fruit machine "iPhone3G" on the earth. He quickly tried a few software
"Well, this compass software is good, and it comes with an altimeter. Feixun software should be licensed, right? This little game integration is also good, it was moved from the computer, right?"
Ye Huanmeng smiled: "Yes, boss." We are developing a map software with navigation function for mobile phones, and we are also converting a licensed office software and audio-visual software, which will guarantee ten application software ...... before the official release."
"Well, not bad...... The comrades of the technical department have worked hard. The biggest difference between smartphones and traditional feature phones is the selectivity of software, so there must be many types of software and rich content. The development of live streaming and short video software should also be accelerated......"
"We don't need to develop all the software, we focus on mastering the operating system and the underlying programs. Those popular software on the computer can be converted to licenses. Only the kind that is really unnegotiable, but must have it, should be developed by itself. In addition, you can also find some small companies and studios to commission development for some development tasks......"
"Another issue is the confidentiality of users' personal information, which is also important. I asked for all the software...... And so and so on...... Secondly, we need to ...... the issue of user experience So and so ......"
Su Lei praised it fiercely and put forward some guiding suggestions. None of this content is his mouth, although he doesn't understand it himself, but others do. Even if you can't do it yourself, can't you copy it? In my previous life on earth, there were so many successful pioneers, and what they did, they copied it themselves.
This world can be a fruit company, and it is also a ......
Several executives hurriedly took out a small notebook and wrote down the boss's latest instructions. The scene was quite a sense of déjà vu for the young generals to inspect the work.
He turned to Wu Xuezhou again and asked, "Mr. Wu, how are the relevant agreements with Daxia Communications, Lianhe Telecom, and Imperial Mobile?"
Wu Xuezhou helped his glasses: "It's all relatively smooth, and Daxia Communications and Imperial Mobile have officially signed a contract, and Lianhe Telecom has also signed a contract of intent, they agree in principle, and there are some specific details that need to be discussed in detail." ”
"Well, smartphones have to work best in the third generation of mobile networks. How's their base station going?"
Wu Xuezhou took out a document and looked at it: "We have calculated, so far, the local coverage rate has exceeded 50%, and the new territories and overseas provinces are about 20%, but their construction speed is still very fast, and it is expected that by the end of this year, the mainland can reach 70%, and the new territories and overseas provinces can reach 35%......"
"Well, it's best to catch this wave, and it's quite important to capture the market first. ”
In fact, Daxia has long developed the third generation of mobile communication technology, that is, cellular mobile communication technology that can support high-speed data transmission. It's just that it has always been used in the military, and in the past few years, the army has been upgraded to 4G, which has only begun to be released to the civilian market.
Daxia Communications has been building a 3G network since the beginning of the previous year, but because of the small number of base stations, many mobile phone companies do not pay much attention to it. Of course, they have also withdrawn some new versions of mobile phones, but they are all enhanced versions of traditional feature phones.
Like personal computers, smartphones with independent operating systems, independent operating space, software provided by third-party service providers such as software, games, navigation, etc., can be installed by users, and wireless network access can be achieved through mobile communication networks.
Because before the computer was a computer, the mobile phone was a mobile phone, and the two industries did their own thing, and the well water did not interfere with the river water. How can the inertia of thinking be easily transformed?
Of course, it is not without smart people that think of this, but ......
At this time, Ao Guanhai smiled: "Boss, there is one more thing." As far as I know, there are several computer companies and mobile phone companies in the world, or private individuals are also developing similar smartphones to us, but for some objective reasons, their progress is not very satisfactory and lags far behind us. However, we should also speed things up......"
Su Lei nodded: "Well, then speed up the progress and strive to sell it during the Spring Festival this year! Become the world's first smartphone! The OEM company must sign a confidentiality agreement......
"Yes, boss......"
............
The kingdom of Arendale is a powerful country in the northern part of Hezhou (Western Continent), and before the cataclysm, there were several countries on this territory, but after the cataclysm, the order was reorganized and merged into one country. It's nothing, they're historically related.
Sable Communication Equipment is the largest communications equipment company in the country and one of the top three mobile phone manufacturers in the world.
On this day, the general manager just got up and received bad news in the toilet before he brushed his teeth.
"Sir, there was a sudden fire in the Technology Development Department last night, and the damage was great......" came the voice of the Minister of Technology on the phone.
"What? What's going on?" the general manager's jaw dropped.
"The cause of the fire is being investigated, and it is preliminarily estimated that the rat bit off the cable, or the rubber is aging, causing a short circuit......"
The general manager hurriedly asked: "Damn, no, I don't want to listen to the cause analysis, I just want to know." Will our new phone development be affected?"
"Of course, sir. The fire burned out quite completely, and all development materials and samples were gone. Although we have some on our personal computers, they need to be rearranged and developed......"
"How long will it take to get back to where it is now......
"Estimated...... It's estimated to be six, no, seven to eight months. I estimate seven to eight months ......" technical uncertainties.
"Oh shit, seven to eight months! I was expecting a release in the first half of the year!Sir, my plans were completely disrupted!" The general manager went crazy with rage. "It's over, those competitors will definitely not let go of this opportunity!"
