Chapter 1127: Software Valley's Double Yolk Egg Plan
In the blink of an eye, January later, in June in the capital, the steel jungle is full of layers of heat waves.
In contrast, the courtyard houses in Houhai are extraordinarily quiet, and even a little wonderful in the middle of the noise.
Wu Tao sat in the study, holding a pot of tea in his hand, looking at all kinds of overwhelming news on the Internet.
As the half-year period approaches, many mobile phone manufacturers are already in full swing preparing to launch new products this year.
Compared with previous years, in addition to Nokia and Motorola still taking Yuanqi Technology as a target, scrambling to appear in the media and throwing out some gimmicks that attract attention, this year's Samsung mobile phones have also emerged with the excellent performance of color screens and become one of the most concerned mobile phone manufacturers.
With the precedent of using screen quality as a selling point, South Korea's LG and Dongying's Sharp are all eyeing this booming mobile phone market.
After all, in their opinion, when it comes to color screens, as a supplier of Lotus mobile phones, their quality is no worse than Samsung's.
Since Samsung can attract attention for its excellent materials, it is natural for them to have the idea of making a vote.
In addition, compared with the fairy fight in the high-end market, the low-end market is also growing strongly.
Among them, the rise of domestic mobile phone brands is particularly eye-catching.
Kejian, Xiaxin, Bird and other brands have been overwhelmed in advertising, and the amount of advertising on CCTV and local satellite TV is even greater than that of the Lotus brand.
What's more, Bird even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and won the special naming rights of the second Super Girl.
This caused quite a stir at the time, and Yan Fei even made a special trip to Wu Tao to report this matter.
What can Wu Tao say as the boss? The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat. At this time, it can only be done in accordance with the rules of the market economy, and whoever gives more money will be named.
Of course, now the posts of black Lotus mobile phones and Yuanqi Technology on the Internet are emerging in an endless stream, in addition to the reason for losing the naming rights of the second Super Girl, it is not unrelated to the low-key performance of Yuanqi Technology.
As the date of the product launch conference approaches, Nokia, Motorola, and even Samsung have successively thrown out some new features of the season's new products, which almost whetted the appetite of users.
In contrast, Yuanqi Technology has no other sound except for throwing an integrated WLAN technology.
In this regard, Leng Ning, who is the head of Lotus R&D, is more depressed than anyone else.
This WLAN patented technology alone is not something developed by Yuanqi Technology, but a trophy obtained from the acquisition of Ericsson's mobile phone division.
In addition, in the email sent by his boss, all the features of the new mobile phone are related to the user experience.
Although the amount of work is not small, it seems to be just tinkering with old products, and it is really not innovative.
As for the screen material and display effect, it is indeed much more outstanding than last year. It's just that according to the habits of Yuanqi Technology, it will never be as shameless as Samsung, and it can be vigorously advocated as a core selling point.
So, counting it carefully, Leng Ning summed up his new product development process this year, which was actually a failure.
She really doesn't understand, what kind of confidence does the chief designer of Lotus mobile phone and her boss, who has always been the best at innovation, have the confidence to take such a so-called new product with a wide selling point and a rival brand that is eyeing it?
Just when I couldn't figure it out, the phone on the table rang suddenly, and I habitually glanced at the caller ID, and it turned out to be the boss.
Leng Ning hurriedly picked it up, and his tone immediately became respectful, "Boss, are you looking for me?"
Wu Tao's voice came through the phone, "Hmm, I've seen the latest mobile phone sample." Everything else is not bad, but in the download, installation, and upgrade of the mobile app, it is too troublesome and the user experience is not good. ”
Leng Ning didn't dare to slack off, so he took the pen and paper and said, "Boss, can you be specific? ”
"For example, the installation of each application requires an authorization certificate, although this certificate can also be downloaded in our APP market, but after all, there is an extra step, which seems troublesome. ”
In this regard, Leng Ning immediately explained: "Boss, this certificate is designed to design an opening for the control of the application, so as to facilitate our control of the application market. In the future, if there is a need for a review such as access, it will be convenient to implant ......"
Wu Tao thought for a while, and still insisted on his own opinion, after all, the Symbian system, which was once popular in his previous life, was gradually playing his system to death because of the authorization of digital certificates.
"I don't think so, it's better to remove it so that it can attract more users and developers. However, the security, stability, and installation of the application require the user to confirm that authorization is still necessary. ”
After a phone call, Wu Tao mentioned more than a dozen points piecemeal, but they were all small faults and small details.
This made Leng Ning very unsettled, as if she was scolded by the boss without being scolded, and it was always difficult for her to settle down in her heart.
So when she was about to hang up the phone, she couldn't help but ask: "Boss, this year's new Lotus product, do we plan to use a WLAN technology as the main publicity point?" But now the application of WLAN has not yet been launched, even if our Lotus mobile phone can be connected to WLAN, it is difficult to use it." ”
In this regard, Wu Tao smiled, "You can rest assured, in the early years of Tianqi Investment's project, there have been many small companies that have implemented WLAN networks. It won't be long before some WLAN in public places can be deployed. At that time, the WLAN of our mobile phone will be the only one of the scorpions. ”
As soon as he hung up Leng Ning's phone, Song Zhuang appeared in the courtyard in stride, walked into the study in three or two steps, and said, "Boss, Deputy Director Zheng is here." ”
Wu Tao suddenly thought of the officialdom woman who was a little flattering.
It was a month ago that she brought the representative of Shenzhen to find herself, and proposed to list Shenzhen as the first batch of pilot areas of the Software Valley Plan to realize the double yolk egg plan.
In this regard, Wu Tao has few reasons to refuse, after all, this will also help to enhance the influence of the Software Valley plan.
In addition, there are Internet companies like Tencent in Shenzhen, which can easily form a hot spot effect and attract a large number of Internet practitioners to gather together.
So the final result was reported.
Counting the days, it's time for the central approval process to come down.
followed Song Zhuang to the front hall quickly, Zheng Jingjing, who was wearing a long skirt, put down the teacup, Yingying stood up, and the ladylike posture really surprised Wu Tao.
In the past, her style of dressing would not have been so feminine, why has she changed her face now?
"Director Zheng has an extraordinary demeanor today, and he is in the humble house, I don't know what you have to do?" Wu Tao took the initiative to step forward, pointed to the chair and sat down with Zheng Jingjing as the guest of honor.
Zheng Jingjing smiled at the corner of her mouth, full of joy, so much so that she didn't even have the kung fu to joke, so she blurted out: "Mr. Wu, the Central Committee of the Software Valley Plan has been approved." Jinling and Shenzhen are piloted at the same time, and within a week, the red-headed document will be issued!"
