Chapter 735: Mobile phones should be listed in advance
It's almost noon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Coming to the R&D room, Zhang Wei inquired about the situation.
The first to answer the question was naturally Liu Qinghua, who was in charge, as soon as he saw Zhang Wei, he immediately said a series of situations, "Director, there is a shortage of materials on the phone case, which may be related to the last time they were asked to improve the process, I called here and there to complain, saying that the workers can't keep up, can you personally call over and talk about it? A month is very tight, and the lack of material preparation is likely to delay the research and development time!"
"Got it, is there anything else?"
"Yes, about the built-in game you said. β
"What's the problem?"
"The copyrights of Snake 2, Memory 2 and Space War are all available, but the copyright of the Golden Bean has not yet arrived. β
"Okay, I'll make a phone call to urge Nokia to go over, four pre-ordered built-in games are indispensable, by the way, how about the mobile phone recording function you developed?"
"The built-in storage doesn't seem to be enough, and it's not easy to embed the recording function, so in my opinion, it's better to cut it, right? Anyway, there are few mobile phones that have a recording function. β
"Okay, I see, you tell everyone about the recording function. β
Things are one after another, there will be a lot of problems in research and development, either Bruce or Lao Wu came up, Zhang Wei listened very carefully, he could do his best to complete a promise, and it seemed impossible to complete it, and it was cut off, time was pressing, and it was also an inconsequential function.
Everything is going well.
The problems of materials and research and development in all aspects are small things, so you don't need to take them too seriously.
However, just when all the designers of the 3310 R&D team were doing their best to develop mobile phones and were ready to complete it within a month, a news came that people wanted to scold their mothers!
As the leader of the research and development of this mobile phone, Zhang Wei naturally knew the news for the first time.
In fact, Elop, who came in a hurry, made a stunned request in the face of many designers, and there was a hint of order in his words, Nokia 3310 mobile phone must be launched half a month in advance!
No one knew what was going on, and for a while, the tense R&D room was quiet, and everyone was a little dumbfounded!
Half a month later?
We haven't even fully developed the whole machine!
β¦β¦
Motorola Division.
I borrowed the general manager's office to talk about things.
Zhang Wei frowned and didn't understand, and said, "Mr. President, that's not what is written in the contract!"
Elop was also very very depressed, encountering too many factors from the outside world, not to mention him, the entire Nokia company was caught off guard, "Can you develop a mobile phone in half a month? By the way, you go with me to shoot an advertisement in the afternoon, and the new product launch must be held in fifteen days, and I have already made an appointment for you to come to reporters from all over the world." β
Zhang Wei was very speechless, and said: "How can you change your order day and night? I didn't say anything about the last time I played word games, and the matter has passed, but now you let me take half a month to come up with the product? Do you think it's possible? You yourself are the president of a big mobile phone manufacturer, and you know that even if the whole machine is developed, it will have to go through a series of tests and shield tests, and it will take several days here! How can we be in time?"
Elop sighed and said, " You may stay in the R&D room all day long and don't know the outside news, originally I don't have to be so anxious, Samsung is recently going to launch a 600C code name of the mobile phone, the main focus is also the ultra-low-end market, it is rumored that the sales price is only about 3000-4000rmb, that is to say, the price is about the same as ours, we all put the news out to create the first real cheap mobile phone in history, in turn, in your words, you are also a businessman, you should know how important the selling point is, I know you want to say that the selling point is practical, but the low price is really not the selling pointWhat's more, the first person to eat crabs will always take advantage of it, in order to seize the market can only act like this, you can also understand me, but also for your commission efforts. β
Samsung 600C?
Getting involved in the ultra-low-end market?
Zhang Wei directly borrowed the general manager's computer to open the web page and searched for a while, and sure enough, he saw that last night when Samsung announced that this model of mobile phone might be launched in the near future, and the price was announcedοΌ
"Time is really rushed. Zhang Wei said bitterly.
"I know. Elop nodded heavily, and said bitterly: "You have not been in the R&D stage for a long time, I know that the time is very tight, and I also know that no R&D team can develop an excellent ultra-low-end mobile phone in such a short time, but now there is really no way, no matter how good the quality of the mobile phone is, you have to occupy the market of the first cheap mobile phone!"
"But what do you say if you only give half a month? My material supplier is still improving the process, and some game copyrights have not been taken down, so many things are connected. Zhang Wei said.
Give half a month?
At first, it was tentatively set for one month, but if the time was not enough, it could be extended to two months!
Now directly cut, cut only a quarter of the original time, even if the most powerful mobile phone manufacturers will be too late, for example, the future generations of excellence in the Apple mobile phone, a year only has time to develop two mobile phones, this is still on the basis of the original improvement, Zhang Wei's Nokia 3310 is with the help of memory to capture a lot of useful information, but also use the previous mobile phone to make drawings to improve it, is to save a lot of research and development time, but other such as material suppliers, Copyright and all aspects of the system can not be saved at all, not to mention the testing after the development is completed!
Elop said as good as he could: "I know how difficult it is for you now, but the situation has reached this point, if it doesn't work, I have to do it, Wei Zhang, if this matter is handed over to others, I believe it can't be done, but I have confidence in you, you are a miracle figure in China and even many countries in Europe and the United States, I can't help but want to give a thumbs up when I hear your deeds several times, so I believe that you will be able to do it, and the team you are looking for will also be able to do it under your leadership!"
Now that I have the ability, huh?
Who picked the nose and eyes when I was going to make this phone before?
Zhang Wei was not happy and said: "The difficulty is too high, don't do it, I will only come according to the contract!"
Elop let go and said: "Earlier we said that if we sell more than 5 million mobile phones, we will increase the net profit share by 2% for every 5 million units, and there is no cap, right? Okay, I will give in now, as long as there are more than 4 million units, I will give 5% of the sales, I talked to the board of directors, and also made a suggestion, in the future, every 500 more sales will be changed to an increase in sales of 1 percent, and there is still no cap, you think about it." β
It seems that 2 to 1 percent is less, but 1 percent is pure profit, and 1 percent is sales! As soon as Zhang Wei heard this, he immediately knew that Nokia was out of options, otherwise he would not have given such generous conditions, and he could make more money, and the conditions were impeccable. β
Elop shook his head and said, "It's not trying, it's definitely!"
Zhang Wei clenched his fists and said fiercely: "It must be no problem!"
He also simply made up his mind, what is not difficult to make money, and the sales will increase by one percent for every five million sales!
Elop clapped his hands with joy and said, "Good! It is worthy of the legendary great Zhang who specializes in all kinds of difficulties!"
Zhang Weixin said that it was really realistic, the original preparation was almost the same, but the result came out like this, but since Zhang Wei agreed, he will definitely complete it!
Fifteen days left?
Zhang Wei silently calculated in his heart how to save time, for example, on the side of the material supplier, how to urge the speed.
As for sloppy?
Zhang Wei didn't think about it at all.
This mobile phone is not only related to making a lot of money, but also related to Zhang Weijia's reputation for entering the mobile phone industry in the future - it must be perfect!
