Chapter 485 Mobile Phone R&D
Xu Qing sat on the sofa in Denning's office, Denning sat opposite Xu Qing, and Denning's secretary made a cup of coffee for the two.
Xu Qing took a sip and asked Denning: "How is it, are you still used to the feeling in the TH Group?"
Denning was the president of Glory Group before, because Glory Group merged into Future Group, Xu Qing established a new TH Group, so Denning was transferred to TH Group as president.
"I was a little uncomfortable at first, after all, I've always worked in the games industry, but now I'm used to it, and I find the tech industry quite interesting," Denning smiled. ”
At the beginning, Xu Qing transferred him to TH Group as the president, which made Danning very puzzled, he had no work experience in the technology industry at all, Xu Qing transferred him to TH Group, wasn't he afraid that he would mess up?
And he is also a little unhappy, because the Honor Group is a large group with assets of more than 6 billion US dollars, and the Th Group has not yet been established, and there is no comparison between the two at all.
Then Xu Qing told him that the future assets of TH Group will not be lower than that of Future Group, and his importance to TH Group will not be lower than that of FUTURE Group.
Denning can go to the th group first to try how it feels, no, Xu Qing will transfer him back.
Danning naturally believed Xu Qing's words, and didn't think that Xu Qing had to lie to him.
Thinking that he might manage a company of the same level as the Future Group in the future, Denning was very excited and full of energy.
The position of Future Group in Xu Qing's companies is clear that the current valuation of Future Group has surpassed the market value of Microsoft, and it is the most valuable company in the world.
The combined valuation and market value of Xu Qing's other companies are only one-sixth of that of Future Group.
Because of the huge influence of the Future Group, Brooke, the president of the Future Group, is second only to Xu Qing in the company.
Sophia is only more influential than Brooke, but her actual power is far less than that of Brooke.
In the future, if TH Group can become a company at the same level as Future Group, his rights can be ranked at least third in the company.
Although he has no idea of fighting with Brooke for power, and he and Brooke are no longer in the same group.
But who doesn't want to change the power in their hands is greater, this is the idea of every normal man.
After becoming the president of TH Group, Denning worked hard to adapt, and then became more and more adaptable, and now it feels similar to staying in Glory Group.
Xu Qing nodded: "That's good, I'm afraid you won't be adaptable." ”
At the beginning, Xu Qing considered two ways for the president of TH Group, one was to recruit from outside, and the other was to select from within.
Xu Qing prioritizes internal selection, and only considers external recruitment unless there is really no one available internally.
After thinking about it, Xu Qing chose Denim, which is consistent with the president of TH Group in terms of Denim's status.
In terms of ability, although Denning has been working in the game industry, Xu Qing believes that Denim's ability is far beyond the game industry, and other industries can also do well.
Xu Qing transferred Denning to TH Group as president, but he really couldn't replace it.
Then Xu Qing and Denning chatted for a while, and then the two went to the R&D area to learn more about product development.
The R&D area of laptops and mobile phones is not in the same place, so Xu Qing first went to the mobile phone R&D area to have a look.
The person in charge of mobile phone R&D already knew that Xu Qing would come to inspect and take Xu Qing and Denin to learn the details of mobile phone R&D.
Xu Qing asked the person in charge when the mobile phone would be developed, and the person in charge replied in October this year.
Xu Qing's requirement for them is that the research and development must be completed this year, and if the research and development can be completed in advance, they will be given a generous reward.
The completion of research and development does not mean that it can be marketed immediately, but also debugging and production, which will take several months to half a year.
Xu Qing plans to release the group's first mobile phone product next spring.
The person in charge took a machine model to Xu Qing, saying that the final appearance of the mobile phone product is not much different from this machine model.
Xu Qing looked at this model carefully, and in terms of appearance, it looked like an enlarged and thickened version of the Nokia 6300.
The current level of technology is not yet able to make a mobile phone that is exactly the same as the Nokia 6300.
The main thing is the mobile phone antenna limitation.
If you open a mobile phone in the 90s, you will find that almost all of the top of the mobile phone have a mobile phone antenna erected.
TH Group's first mobile phone product does not use an all-metal shell, and the all-metal mobile phone is fortunately shielded too much.
In fact, the signal of the Nokia 6300 is not very good, and the signal is worse than that of other mobile phones made of Nokia's plastic materials.
Mobile phone signal has always been a problem for all-metal mobile phones, and even in later generations, there is no good solution.
Otherwise, on the back of many metal mobile phones in the future, there will be no unsightly white dai.
TH Group was also unable to change the signal problem of this metal mobile phone, so the first mobile phone of TH Group was a semi-metal and semi-plastic mobile phone.
The back of the phone keyboard and the back of the phone corresponding to the keyboard is metal, and the back of the phone corresponding to the screen is plastic.
In order not to let the unsightly mobile phone antenna ruin the appearance of the mobile phone, the R&D personnel of THTH Group have increased the volume of the mobile phone so that it can be crammed into a larger mobile phone antenna.
This eliminates the need to erect the phone antenna on top of the phone.
According to the R&D staff's estimates, TH Group's first mobile phone will weigh more than 180 grams.
At first, these R&D personnel felt a little apprehensive, because now various mobile phone manufacturers are trying to reduce the size of mobile phones and reduce the weight of mobile phones as much as possible.
At present, the average weight of each mobile phone is a little more than 100 grams.
TH Group's first mobile phone weighed more than 80 grams of them, which doesn't seem to be in line with the trend of mobile phone development.
Xu Qing reassured them that they would follow this plan and make a mobile phone of more than 180 grams would not be a problem at all.
It is true that today's consumers are pursuing miniaturized mobile phones, after all, after years of torture by the huge big brother, consumers are very fond of miniaturized mobile phones.
Although TH Group's mobile phone is a bit larger than the current miniaturized mobile phone, it is much smaller than the big brother, and it is still within the range of consumer acceptance.
Xu Qing believes that consumers will ignore the weight of 180 grams after seeing the appearance of TH Group's mobile phone and experiencing its functions.
What's wrong with being a little heavier, it can be heavier than Big Brother.
Many mobile phones in later generations are heavier than 180 grams, and consumers are not happy to use them.
As long as the phone is good enough, the weight of 180 grams is not a problem at all.
Xu Qing asked about the details of the research and development of the functions of the mobile phone, and the person in charge replied that everything was fine and that the research and development would be completed before October.
Xu Qing gave a few short words to the mobile phone developers, focusing on the generous rewards to stimulate these people and make them more motivated to work.
Xu Qing's speech was naturally cheered, and Xu Qing didn't bother them much, leaving the mobile phone R&D area and coming to the laptop R&D area.
