Fang Yi withdrew his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yin Dong, in fact, I can see from this drawing the efforts you have made during this time, but you must remember that we are now designing a product, not specifically for our Huaxia market, Huaxia people now because they don't know enough about the whole world, I don't know what the current electronics industry has developed, but what about the people outside, they know how wonderful the world is, we have to broaden our horizons."

After speaking, Fang Yi glanced at Li Guotao, who was a little nervous next to him, and said, "Guotao, show me your design plan?"

Li Guotao also took out a drawing and said, "Mr. Fang, we are designed with reference to some mainstream notebooks in China, after the conversation between you and Yin Gong just now, I know that our products are not good enough, and the field of vision is too narrow."

Fang Yi still picked up his drawings and looked at them carefully, this is for the respect of the designers, after a few minutes, Fang Yi put down the drawings and said, "Let's talk about Yin Dong your all-in-one machine first, first of all, the screen, I think this kind of 4:3 display is not suitable for human viewing, if we launch a 16:9 ratio screen display product, I don't know what you think?" In this way, we can enlarge the width of the screen, and some parts that need to increase the thickness of the product can be evenly distributed to the width, in fact, the maximum thickness I can accept for the all-in-one machine is 4cm. ”

Fang Yi looked at Li Guotao, who was thinking on the side, and said, "The second is on the notebook, first of all, the size of the display screen, it is not like a desktop, not like an all-in-one machine, blindly pursuing large, the size is mainly in 14 inches and 17 inches on the two sizes; :9 design,This aspect can be jointly developed with the all-in-one machine,Now the arrow keys on the notebook are too ugly,It is also very inconvenient to operate,You can study and send out a only touchpad,It can master three functions,One is to control the direction,The second double-click confirms,The third right-click pop-up menu function,If these functions can be realized,Then our notebook keyboard will be very neat、 Beautiful, the reason why customers want to use the notebook is mainly to reflect the mobile performance of the notebook, so we need to use the overall weight of the notebook up and down the function, and then calculate the battery, charger, mouse and other equipment, we need to control the overall weight of our notebook within 2.5KG"

Speaking of this, Fang Yi paused and looked at Li Guotao, and then he thought about it for a minute and said, Mr. Fang, for the suggestion you just put forward, I think it is very good, but if you want to realize it all, it may not be possible to complete it in a short time, and you said earlier, we need to make a notebook within 10,000 yuan, then our cost needs to be controlled at least within 8,000 yuan, or even within 7,000 yuan, but the introduction of so many new technologies will inevitably increase the sharing of R & D expenses, and in the end it may not be to reduce the cost but to increase the cost, which is contrary to your goal of notebook within 10,000 yuan."

Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "The reason why I proposed 16:9 display size, this makes sense, you can negotiate with our screen suppliers, I believe, they will be very happy to accept our order requirements for this size, and because of this size, they will also reduce the supply price accordingly, followed by our touchpad research and development If our next product can not achieve a new design, it is also possible to use the current design scheme, after all, the market has accepted this way of operation, but in the thickness and weight of the entire notebook, it is necessary to meet my requirements, for this, we can even sacrifice optical drives and floppy drives”

Hearing that the optical drive and floppy drive were to be canceled, Li Guotao immediately became excited and said, "Mr. Fang, how can we cancel the optical drive and floppy drive, without the optical drive, the system installation of our entire computer cannot be completed, let alone the customer's reading and writing work."

Fang Yi smiled and asked, "Then let me ask you, Li Gong, you should have a notebook yourself, in your memory, when was the last time you used your optical drive and floppy drive?"

Fang Yi's question suddenly stopped Li Guotao, and he was stunned for a long time without speaking, Fang Yi said" Floppy drive must be canceled,Now that kind of 3.1-inch floppy disk where can it still be used,Even the capacity of 1.44M or the storage medium of the virtual standard,Bunsen is a failed product,Our small C is now a capacity of 5 G,Think about how many floppy drives you have to install,We still save some costs for our customers,About optical drives,We do not make hard requirements,We provide external optical drive equipment,You can choose whether to install or not,Cancel these two equipment,On the one hand, the weight is reduced a lot,On the other hand, it can also reduce the cost of our products。 ”

Although Li Guotao was a little reluctant after listening, he also felt that Fang Yi was reasonable, people like them who deal with data all day and night have such a low usage rate of optical drives and floppy drives, not to mention ordinary consumers, Li Guotao said again, "Mr. Fang, now our notebook is 4.7KG with batteries and chargers, if we want to drop below 2.5KG all at once, then the entire notebook will have to lose 2.2KG, and we don't have the confidence to reduce it so much at once."

Fang Yi also felt that the rice had to be eaten one bite at a time, and the fat man could not grow up in a day, so he asked, "Then what do you think the weight of your next notebook can be reduced to?"

"WITHIN 3.5KG" Li Guotao said word by word, in fact, he still has no bottom in his heart for this weight.

Hearing Li Guotao's answer, Fang Yi turned back to look at Yin Dong and said, "Yin Gong, it seems that the all-in-one machine developed by your group A has taken a lot of advantage, on the one hand, you have no weight limit, on the other hand, you can use the R&D costs on many notebooks, but I still want to emphasize to you here that the use scenarios of your two products are different, and the selling point of your product lies in high-end, atmospheric, UPGRADE, IN FACT, IT IS THE FAÇADE OF SOME LARGE COMPANIES, IN FACT, IN ADDITION TO OPENING AN OFFICE SOFTWARE, IT IS UNLIKELY TO USE OTHER FUNCTIONS, SO FOR YOUR PRODUCT TO BE SUCCESSFUL, FUNCTION IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT, BUT APPEARANCE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING"

Yin Dong, who was a little happy in his heart, also left with the same heavy heart as Li Guotao, the two of them received a clear research and development direction from Fang Yi today, but at the same time, they were also given more severe tasks, from now to the agreed completion time has only been two and a half months, for the 80-square-meter apartment, everyone has to fight hard to complete.

At this time, Huang Yong walked in, he looked back at the backs of the two engineers leaving, and said, "Mr. Fang, I don't know if under your heavy reward, can they burst out of their own small universe, exert themselves extraordinarily, and achieve the effect you expected?"

Fang Yi smiled and glanced at the two people who were about to disappear into the elevator and said, "Brother Yong, you don't have confidence in them, don't you have confidence in me?"

Huang Yong made an expression that I understood and said, "Mr. Fang, now our entire Keno original sales system is relatively backward, the response is seriously lagging behind, one of our new products is put into the store, sometimes two months later can not be put on the shelves normally, the feedback of various opinions is also very untimely, and the requirements of the headquarters are always ignored."

Fang Yi didn't expect Keno's original sales system to be so chaotic, he thought about it and said, "Brother Yong, I have two thoughts, first, you and our legal counsel study their original agency and sales contracts in detail, if you find that these agents and sellers have breached the contract, directly cancel the qualifications of agents and sellers, since they don't pay attention to us, then we will do it ourselves; Decoration requirements for our agents and sellers, so that they must be decorated in accordance with the decoration standards of our Century Computer, all accessories and utensils with a unified style, and from today, our new agents need to pay a deposit of 500,000 yuan in the company to protect the cooperative relationship with us, and stop developing sellers"

Huang Yong didn't expect Fang Yi to make such a harsh agent request and asked, "Mr. Fang, we will definitely not be able to recruit agents with such a request from you, and the original agents will also leave."

Fang Yi said indifferently, " Only strong-willed people are our partners, otherwise we are willing to go alone, Brother Yong, since you came today I will discuss with you about the agent, from the general policy, we still accept agents, but our agents are not casually able to come in, first of all, is what I just said two points, unified decoration and 500,000 deposit, and this 500,000 deposit is valid within three months, and after the beginning of the year, I will let the agent join the physical sales of small C, and at that time the new application of the agent deposit will increase to 2 million yuanSince 2002, the agent's deposit has increased to 5 million yuan, and the payment must be made before the goods."

Listening to Fang Yi's words, Huang Yong felt that he was stimulated by something today, he went crazy, he didn't need to pay any fees to recruit agents and sellers before today, as long as he raised a certain amount of the first batch of goods, but even if Century Computer became the owner of Keno Technology, the change could not be so big, if this requirement was followed, there would basically be no one to be the agent of Keno Century from the beginning of next year, Fang Yi's request might as well simply announce that we will play by ourselves and not accept agent sales.

Fang Yi looked at Huang Tong's disbelieving look and smiled, and said, "Brother Yong, why don't we make a bet?"

Huang Yong didn't expect Fang Yi to be in this mood at this time, and asked, "What kind of gambling method?"

Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's limit it to June 30, 2002, if by then, there are not ten people who come to us with 5 million exclusions to become our agents, and I lose a house of no less than 1 million yuan to you, otherwise you lose to me, how about it?"
