Chapter 994: It's Time to Take the Lead

The plan to promote the IPO of Qianqian Jingting website and Tianxing Games has always been carried out secretly within the circle.

After everyone unified their thinking and goals, it did not cause much controversy and repercussions.

On the contrary, it is the first mobile phone launched by Yuanqi Technology after the millennium, which has attracted great attention.

In fact, as the first year of the millennium, whether it is Motorola or Nokia, the second of the three giants, or Samsung, a second-tier mobile phone brand that takes the opportunity to seize the market, they are all holding back their strength to smash a new type of mobile phone and lead the mobile phone trend in the new century.

It was as if the scales of God had tipped in their favor as time entered the new juncture of the millennium.

As the head of R&D of the Lotus mobile phone, Leng Ning has always felt a lot of pressure.

For this reason, after all, the glory of Lotus mobile as one of the three giants cannot be lost in its own hands.

Fortunately, under the leadership of Wu Tao, Yuanqi Technology has always been forward-looking for the basic research of mobile phones.

In order to cope with the siege of large and small mobile phone manufacturers in the new century, Leng Ning and the R&D team began to think and meditate hard at the beginning of the year, and the plan came out one version after another, and finally came up with a series of smart phone solutions in early July.

Of course, in addition to the smartphone solution, Leng Ning still prepared two traditional mobile phone solutions to cope with the mobile phone fashion trend that has not yet been completely transformed.

As a result, when it was handed to Wu Tao's desk, it was thrown back in less than a minute.

The resolute rejection at that moment really made Leng Ning doubt his life.

Why is it that the bigger the position, the more difficult it is to do the job?

Three days later, Wu Tao called Leng Ning to the office and gave a few key words: camera, MP3, Palm multitasking system, touch screen, and programmable APP.

Leng Ning's first reaction when he saw it was, 'Boss, it's impossible, you can kill me!'

So Wu Tao began to do subtraction, first crossed out the programmable APP and said: "This is already available, it is not a new feature, although the function is simple, it can barely run in the 2G-2.5G network environment." ”

Then he circled the Palm multitasking system and said: "This Palm company in Silicon Valley has already developed it, and it's not a problem." ”

“...... As for the touch screen, this time Beijiang Ruixian Technology, it is ahead of Samsung and Sharp, and the capacitive screen effect is a little unsatisfactory, but it can be used completely. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Tao spread his hands, "For MP3, I don't need to say it, right?"

Leng Ning pointed to the first keyword, "Camera, no manufacturer can supply such small accessories in batches, right?"

Wu Tao nodded, "I'll contact you about this." ”

Leng Ning took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, and then his brain came to life.

"Boss, first of all, the characteristics of the first generation of capacitive screens cannot support a better touch screen experience. In addition, the research and development progress of handwriting input method is lagging behind, so we are still indispensable to the configuration of mobile phone keyboard. ”

“...... As a result, the volume of the mobile phone will inevitably become larger, affecting the structural design and product design of the final product. ”

That's right, Wu Tao nodded and said: "So the structural design plan of the final product, I have to go through it." ”

After Leng Ning determined the design scheme of touch screen + keyboard coexistence, he focused on the keyword of camera.

"Photos are more memory and flash storage files, which can greatly increase the hardware cost of the phone. The use of the Palm multitasking system will also put forward higher requirements for the CPU. ”

“...... These elements are concentrated together, and for our new Lotus phone, the danger is too concentrated. ”

Wu Tao was not surprised at all, "I understand. But how do you know if you don't try, and I can allow you to postpone this year's new release. ”

"Okay. Leng Ning was a little tired, in her eyes, her boss's requirements for the perfection of the product could be said to be quite paranoid.

Seeing Leng Ning get up, Wu Tao followed and emphasized: "Now that we have entered the new century, it's time for our Lotus mobile phone to get rid of Nokia and Motorola and dominate the way." How can you not take out something real and seize this opportunity?"

This was said with a bold spirit, Leng Ning listened to it, and also felt uplifted, "So shouldn't the new generation of mobile phones have a new name?"

"That's right, it's called the Lotus Phone X Series!"

It was precisely because of this meeting that there was more than four months of urgent research, and finally the high-profile Lotus Phone X series was produced.

In mid-November, the late autumn in Jinling was particularly sluggish.

But at the entrance of the New Century Hotel, it was a completely different scene.

In the past, the new product launch conference of Yuanqi Technology was held in the Xuanwu Hotel, but this year, it was specially changed to its own star-rated hotel, which can be regarded as a fertile water without leaving outsiders to the field.

Song Qiao attaches great importance to this.

Early in the morning, a lot of people came to the door of the hotel, and all employees were urgently recalled to maintain order.

Because of this new product launch conference, as the designated spokesperson of Lotus mobile phones, domestic big-name star Ding Tiantian will come to the scene to show the new Lotus Phone X series mobile phones.

Therefore, most of the people who came early were star-chasers in Jinling and surrounding cities.

Dedicated living room at the New Century Hotel.

Xiao Zixia sat in it with Wu Tao, her face uncertain.

"Boss, now all the major newspapers and media outside are not optimistic about our Lotus Phone X series, saying that it is all some new features that are not needed on weekdays. ”

Wu Tao played with the prototype finally displayed by the R&D department indifferently, which was about a bit similar to the Nokia E71 in his memory.

However, the shape is a little more rounded and atmospheric, and the design of the local tyrant gold color is introduced, and the simple APP inside is rich in functions, which is actually better than the original Nokia E71.

After a few casual operations, the system is quite fluent, the touch feel is smooth, and the image interface is refreshed without obvious afterimage.

This basically meets all Wu Tao's expectations for the new generation of mobile phones.

"And is our pricing a little too high? In this way, we have no advantage at all against Nokia and Motorola!" Xiao Zixia chattered for a long time, and found that the boss's expression was always smiling, basically unchanged, "Boss, are you listening or not?"

Wu Tao casually opened the music of the mobile phone in his hand, let its sharp sound quality flow out, and said: "If you are not at ease, go to Leng Ning to find some confidence." ”

Xiao Zixia shook her head decisively, "At this juncture, I still don't want to influence her." ”

"Then listen to the music and be still. Wu Tao closed his eyes and listened to the music, while shaking his head and beating the beat.

Xiao Zixia was still a little unwilling, "Boss, are you really not worried at all?"

Wu Tao opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Why don't I worry? I'm worried that after our new generation of mobile phones become well-deserved machine emperors, your mentality still can't keep up!"

Xiao Zixia didn't say anything, but secretly said in her heart: 'Oh my God, boss, where did you get your confidence!'
