Chapter 1068 Feather

Wang Dongliang wiped the sweat from his forehead, hung up the phone, San Jose Airport was already vivid, and after receiving Su Yuxi's call, he immediately set off from the hotel and called Cheng Xiaoyu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

was suddenly asked by Su Yuxi to tell him to put down the work at hand and immediately rush to Los Angeles to send a prototype to Cheng Xiaoyu, which really scared Wang Dongliang.

But he didn't ask why, just agreed without hesitation, and immediately hit the road.

Wang Dongliang feels that the best thing he does is that he has never been curious about things that he should not be curious about, and he has a very firm mouth, as a CEO who does not have much leadership art and does not have a deep understanding of technology, he can sit in this position only because he can be a qualified "puppet".

And Wang Dongliang actually doesn't mind being such a "puppet", he has a clear self-awareness and knows that the limit of his ability is just to be the person in charge of a project, but fortunately he met Cheng Xiaoyu and has since embarked on a road of prosperity.

He has never been overly ambitious, but has been climbing to a higher peak of life, and he knows very well that as long as he is a good "puppet" and a good "eyes and ears", he will always be successful.

When Wang Dongliang arrived in Los Angeles on a business plane and was immediately picked up by Cheng Xiaoyu's helicopter to his mansion, it was almost ten o'clock.

Wang Dongliang is quite familiar with Cheng Xiaoyu's home, the first thing he did when he came to the United States was to visit the pier at Cheng Xiaoyu's new home, and spent more than 20 million Huaxia coins to give a Pagani using a carbon fiber kit as a gift, and specifically asked for Zonda.by.RAIN to be written above the nameplate in the car, and under the nameplate is the signature of the founder Pagani.

Wang Dongliang also feels that it is cheaper to buy this car, because the same car in China is at least 40 million, although his own car in China is the BMW 7 series, but he is not stingy, because he likes to make friends, likes to help others, in the IT industry has the nickname of "Sai Mengwei", and doing a good job in the interpersonal relationship of "Xi Yu" is also one of the tasks that Wang Dongliang set for himself.

When Cheng Xiaoyu moved to a new house, Yi Yunfei gave Cheng Xiaoyu a yacht with a lot of money, but the yacht was custom-made and still in the shipyard and did not come out, and one of the things that Wang Dongliang regretted the most was that he did not follow Yi Yunfei to invest in Cheng Xiaoyu's "Xichu Movie" at that time.

Wang Dongliang came directly to Cheng Xiaoyu's reception room under the leadership of his bodyguards, and Cheng Xiaoyu had already prepared some side dishes with wine on the balcony of the reception room, such as garlic lobster, braised hairtail, braised beef, boiled lettuce and a few bottles of beer waiting for him.

This made Wang Dongliang a little overjoyed, he sat on the sofa unceremoniously, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of braised beef sticky with chili sauce into his mouth, and said while eating: "These days, when I eat Western food, the food is about to fade out of the bird's taste." ”

After chewing a few sips and taking a sip of beer with satisfaction, he said: "As soon as you taste it, you will know that it is Miss Xia's craftsmanship, I said that Yu Shao, you are so happy....." He knows that he should not be too polite to Cheng Xiaoyu, if you are polite to him, he will be polite to you, if you are not angry with him, he will be casual, and he will treat you as a friend.

Cheng Xiaoyu also opened a can of beer and touched Wang Dongliang with a smile and said: "It's a pity that Brother Da Fei is not in Los Angeles, if we don't call him over, we can also drink some wine and gossip." ”

Wang Dongliang said with a smile: "There are more opportunities, anyway, I have to stay in Silicon Valley for most of the past half a year, staring at the research and development of mobile phones....." Saying that, Wang Dongliang took out two mobile phones wrapped in transparent plastic bags from his bag and handed them to Cheng Xiaoyu.

There are two versions, one large and one small, and the big one is named "Yu +" plus sign in English, which is "PIUS", which has nothing to do with Cheng Xiaoyu, it is named by the project team independently, and it can only be said that some events in history have the inevitability of writing.

In fact, there was originally only a small version, using a slightly larger 4.0-inch screen than IPONE4, which is consistent with the upcoming IPone5, and the largest screen of mainstream smartphones in China at this time is only 4.3 inches.

But Cheng Xiaoyu hopes to make a 5-inch smartphone, which is very surprising to the R&D team, the cost will be greatly increased, not to mention, market acceptance is also unknown, after several communications, Cheng Xiaoyu insisted on his own requirements, and Su Yuxi naturally supported Cheng Xiaoyu, and the R&D team had to make another plus version.

Cheng Xiaoyu got the model machine of the "Xiyu Silicon Valley Research Institute", a white "feather +" and a black "feather".

In his eyes, of course, this machine is still far from perfect, but he still has a sense of accomplishment in his heart, after all, this mobile phone is made by his own company, and many places in this mobile phone still implement Cheng Xiaoyu's ideas for future mobile phones, which is relatively advanced.

The appearance of "Feather" is close to the Sony Z series in Cheng Xiaoyu's memory, but at this time the Sony Z series has not yet been born, and it is really much more beautiful than IPONE5 in terms of appearance, and there is a embossed silver feather LOGO on the back, shining in the light, very delicate and beautiful.

The distance between the screen and the bezel is narrower, closer to the bezel-less design, the side is made of magnesium alloy material, and the square shape is adopted, which is very different from the arc design of IPONE, and the visual sense will be thinner.

Unfortunately, due to the limited level of technology, it cannot really be "borderless", but the R&D team is still working hard towards the design principle of "borderless" in accordance with Cheng Xiaoyu's requirements.

In terms of industrial design alone, because Cheng Xiaoyu's aesthetics beyond this era are killing most mobile phones, but its cost is also high and scary, which makes everyone feel that this will only make money at a loss, after all, most of the Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers produce cheap mobile phones.

At first, the "Xiyu mobile phone R&D team" was also developed according to the idea of high quality, low configuration, and improving cost performance, and it happened that most of the staff were from Nokia. THE FIRST VERSION OF THE DESIGN HABITUALLY MADE THE MOBILE PHONE SHELL MADE OF PLASTIC, WHICH WAS IMMEDIATELY RUTHLESSLY VETOED BY CHENG XIAOYU, AND FIRMLY DEMANDED THAT THE DOUBLE-SIDED GLASS AND METAL FRAME DESIGN BE USED LIKE IPONE4.

Then Cheng Xiaoyu has more and more requirements, for example, the front and back of the "Yu" mobile phone at this moment are covered with "Corning Gorilla" glass, and the edge is also micro-arc processed, and the "Yu+" screen is the Sharp 5-inch 1080P full HD screen, which is the largest and most high-definition mobile phone screen nowadays.

This is not a concept at all than the domestic high-definition screen originally set by the R&D team, and the price is, of course, "hehe".

It's not over, after knowing that Cheng Xiaoyu wants to use good accessories, the design team used the best Qualcomm Snapdragon processor at this time, which is no problem, but the rear camera uses a 12.78 million pixel Sony second-generation stacked camera, and uses Japan's Fujitsu's Milbeaut.Mobile imaging solution.

As a result, the camera was vetoed by Cheng Xiaoyu again, but this time it was not because the camera was not good enough, but because he asked not to cooperate with "Sony", at Cheng Xiaoyu's suggestion, the Xiyu mobile phone design team found the "Leica" that has not yet produced mobile phone cameras.

Although Leica does not have a mobile phone lens business, in order to meet Cheng Xiaoyu's requirements, Wang Dongliang specially invited a domestic mobile phone lens manufacturer with the highest level, and the two sides cooperated to obtain the exclusive authorization of "Leica", which is called "Xinyue" mobile phone lens manufacturer and "Leica" specially customized this lens for "Yu".

This is also the first time that Leica has authorized Huaxia Optics to OEM lens products, which is worth mentioning, but correspondingly, the licensing fee is a huge expense.

Then there is the "world's fastest snapping smartphone", press and hold the volume button and brightness adjustment button on the left and right sides at the same time to start the camera and focus, let go of the button to complete the photo, and support automatic scene recognition, face tracking and night noise reduction, support 180 degrees to 360 degrees panoramic photography, this is also the most powerful photo function at present.

Under Cheng Xiaoyu's special prompting, there is a built-in one that Cheng Xiaoyu specially requested, and the development team wrote it itself with a powerful beauty effectAPP, and the slogan he put forward is that the biggest selling point of this mobile phone is to become a "photo artifact".

As for the operating system "yuos", although it is based on Nokia's "Symbian", it has actually changed a lot.

The biggest problem with "Symbian" is not that the system is backward, nor that the system is bad.

Its biggest problem is that it is too difficult to develop applications, but the advantage is that it runs stably and supports photography, video, and sound quality very well.

Therefore, the development team focused on reducing the difficulty of application development and redesigning the UI, and the mobile phone interface also gave up "skeuomorphism" according to Cheng Xiaoyu's proposal, and adopted the "flattening" that was not popular at all.

Cheng Xiaoyu opened the mobile phone and felt that the investment of tens of millions of dollars was worth it, after all, the operating system of this mobile phone also fully implemented his understanding of the future mobile phone system.

And "yuos" is also the soul of "Xiyu" mobile phone, and it is also one of its core competitiveness.

From "yuos", we can deeply feel the design concept that transcends time and space brought by Cheng Xiaoyu. "yuos" can be said to be a comprehensive combination of the advantages of "iOS" and "Qiandu", with an overall flat style, rich colors, beautiful interface, simple and efficient interactive experience, and perfect functionality.

As far as Cheng Xiaoyu's current use is concerned, the current "yuos" system has a high degree of completion, and it is also very tacit with the hardware, and it has distinctive characteristics in the "large screen interaction", and Wang Dongliang told him that the official release of "yuos" will further improve the consistency of the system in terms of font and color.

Cheng Xiaoyu also deliberately tried the fingerprint unlock function, and the response time was a little longer, but as the world's first mobile phone with fingerprint unlocking, he couldn't ask too much.

Although the limited research and development time is too short, this mobile phone does not have too many black technologies, but it has made quite a breakthrough in the appearance design, giving people a sense of amazement.

IN ADDITION TO BEING A LITTLE HEAVIER, CHENG XIAOYU IS BASICALLY SATISFIED WITH THE FEEL AND THICKNESS, AT LEAST IT LOOKS MUCH STRONGER THAN THE IPone4S HE IS USING NOW, EVEN IF IT IS BETTER THAN IPONE5, CHENG XIAOYU THINKS IT IS BETTER, AFTER ALL, THERE IS NO INNOVATION IN HIS MEMORY IPONE5, AND FINGERPRINT UNLOCKING ORIGINALLY APPEARED ON 5S.

Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu's expression was quite satisfied, Wang Dongliang said with a wry smile: "To be honest, most people are not very optimistic about this mobile phone, because the cost of doing it according to your requirements is too high, and they have been considering whether to make a low-profile version." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Such a mobile phone will not sell well, as long as there is no problem with the quality, the system will not freeze after long-term use, the battery will not be too durable, I guarantee that it can be sold, don't forget that I am a professional marketing ......"

Wang Dongliang touched his glass with Cheng Xiaoyu again, and said, "The pricing really has to be against Apple? Why do I feel a little flustered!"

Cheng Xiaoyu said: "Don't say it so scary, for the time being, we are not comparable with Apple, the most profitable smartphone is it, our first mobile phone is not at a loss, it would be good to start the brand, if the price is set, 'Yu' sells 3999, 'Yu +' buys 5999!"

Wang Dongliang was a little surprised and said, "'Yu +' is so expensive?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You can make money by 'Yu +', how can you do it if you don't sell a little more money? But you can't afford to pay less for advertising! Domestic endorsements for Xiao Ning, foreign endorsements for Justin Bieber, I will shoot the commercials, and I will write the theme song! Just be ready for 20 million US dollars!"

Wang Dongliang almost threw out the chopsticks and said: "Yu Shao, you are robbing money! I knew that you are so profitable in this business, and what kind of mobile phone do you have! Besides, why bother with your left pocket and right pocket?"

Cheng Xiaoyu scoffed and said: "Look at you, 20 million US dollars is really not much, Bieber's global endorsement fee is now 5 million US dollars, Xiao Ning's domestic market is 20 million Chinese dollars, and it has to be a big name, she will not accept ordinary brands, I haven't said what about me! Do you know how much I am paid to make movies now? The advance salary of 20 million US dollars only occupies a small part of my total income, and I will also have a 20% share of the total box office of the film! This is "Universal" The price offered to me was to continue to direct "Death is Coming 2", but I refused!"

Wang Dongliang said with some annoyance: "Don't mention this stubble, I regret it when I think about it, I didn't invest in 'Xichu' back then..... It's a stain on my life that I can't erase. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled "hehe" and said: "After this village, there will be no such shop, so you will slowly regret it." ”

The two chatted for a while about Hollywood anecdotes, until the two drank six cans of beer, Wang Dongliang got up to say goodbye, and reminded Cheng Xiaoyu to give him feedback on his feelings about using it, and he could say anything at any time if he asked for anything.

Cheng Xiaoyu agreed with a smile, and Wang Dongliang blinked his eyes again and said, "Yu Shao, a special version will be sent to you on November 11, all made of expensive materials." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "One is not enough, when the time comes, get a dozen, and I'll give it away." ”
