Chapter 146: Intentions
Robin turned his head and continued to roll his eyes, still angry. It seems to say I know you're also a technician, don't you understand the current situation?
At the beginning, it was Li Jun who took out a piece of code to impress Robin.
And I heard that the design drawings of the mobile phone this time, including the motherboard, were all designed by Li Jun.
If Li Jun didn't have technology, he wouldn't believe it first.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. Li Jun knew at a glance that it was useless to talk about this now.
I made up my mind that I would explain to Shanshan later, and ask her to recruit some more deputies to help these people who don't know how to clean up.
That office is cleaner and more comfortable to look at, rather than finding a place to put your feet like it is now.
"Let's talk about the problems we are facing. Li Jun walked to the conference table and sat down, and after they all looked at him, he said slowly
"I just heard you arguing, well, I should use the word argument, and I know some of the problems we are currently facing. Since the problem is found, it must be solved. I'm very optimistic about our system. ”
Li Jun paused, saw that none of them spoke, and continued,
"First of all, it's a hardware issue, right? ”
"Well," as soon as he talked about hardware, Meng Qiang immediately became excited, and when he stood up, he was about to say, "General ...... Army"
Li Jun pressed his hand and signaled him not to be busy talking about anything else.
"Let me ask first, how much does it cost to purchase the hardware on this set of motherboards? Meng Qiang, you just answer me, don't say anything else. ”
Li Jun looked at Meng Qiang lightly.
And Meng Qiang has been completely conquered by Li Jun, as a technician, when he sees someone with better skills than himself, he will always have a little admiration in his heart.
So Meng Qiang didn't say much, "The cost of the motherboard is about 2,000 yuan, not including the display screen, battery and camera." ”
"Well, what if that's included?"
"The cost of the screen is 500 according to your requirements, the battery is relatively cheap, and the cost of purchasing the best lithium battery is only a few dozen, but on the lens, Mr. Li asks for 2 million pixels, and now only Sony's manufacturers can produce it, and the cost is also about 500 yuan, after all, it is also breaking through some technical problems over there, and it is not good for mass production. And you ask for a 200,000-pixel front-facing camera, which also requires two hundred. ”
"In other words, the cost of this one now is about three thousand yuan, right?" Li Jun frowned slightly.
He didn't expect that the cost of hardware is so high now, and in the future generations, these things can be done for a hundred or ten yuan.
This was far from his surprise.
"That's right, and with the workmanship, after publicity, if the selling price is not above 4,000, it will be a loss. Meng Qiang was also a little anxious.
After all, he learned about it before he knew that this was actually the company's first business. Although Mr. Li and Lu Yun have a good relationship, business belongs to business, and partners belong to partners. Some things aren't easy to get along with.
If the phone doesn't sell well, it's easy to lose money.
And Meng Qiang knows the power of that design drawing, so he especially wants to do this well.
Suddenly, Li Jun smiled.
"Meng Qiang, have you ever seen the price of mobile phones on the market now?"
"Well, of course, there are basically Nokia and Motorola mobile phones on the market now, and Nokia's high-end models, mobile phones with Symbian S40 system are basically priced at more than 4,500. ”
"So how do you think our phones compare to Nokia's? both in terms of system and appearance. ”
Meng Qiang's eyes lit up, this was something he didn't expect.
As far as the current situation is concerned, this mobile phone is far superior to other mobile phones in terms of appearance and performance!
But suddenly, Meng Qiang's eyes were dim again.
Li Jun found that Meng Qiang's expression was wrong, so he asked what was wrong.
"That ......" Meng Qiang was a little afraid to speak, because he did not finish the production of this mobile phone. "Mr. Li, I hope you don't get angry after you know. ”
"Well, what's going on?" Li Jun was a little puzzled.
"It's just that the current process can't do what you want. The first is the problem of capacitive screen, this kind of screen has only been developed by Sharp, but there are certain difficulties in mass production, and the yield rate is not high. ”
Meng Qiang thought for a moment and continued
"Moreover, the thickness control of the screen is not up to the requirements at all, and if it is made into a full-screen touch like yours, then it will face the problem of input difficulties, of course, I believe this Robin will solve it. More importantly, if the thickness of the fuselage is controlled, then the strength cannot be guaranteed, and now the strength of materials in the civilian sphere is not enough. ”
Li Jun thought about it, in his previous life, the current mobile phones were basically about 1.5 cm thick, and he used to think that it was because he didn't think about developing to a thin side, but now it seems that he is forced to do so.
It seems that making a mobile phone is far from being as simple as you think!
"And what if it's stainless steel or aluminum?"
Li Jun remembered the all-metal fuselage that he liked very much, but he also understood that metal would cause a bad signal.
Especially in the current era when there is only 2G network and 3G is just beginning to develop.
"That Mr. Li, maybe you think too much, let's not talk about the signal problem, now there is no company that can process the aluminum alloy and stainless steel you said so precisely. ”
At this time, Li Jun remembered that the CNC cutting process will not mature until a few years later, and now CNC is still used to cut wood.
Li Jun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, not knowing what the mobile phone he designed would become in the end.
After Meng Qiang saw that Li Jun did not speak, he was also silent. After all, it was my next job, but after I went back, I asked various engineers and found that the technical content was not a little bit.
was also pointed at the nose and scolded by the engineer, this is simply whimsical!
As for the precision welding process involved in the components on the motherboard, it also requires top-level equipment to do. And now there are not many such devices in the Panda Group!
You know, Panda Group is a multinational group! The equipment inside is top-notch! Although now it is gradually declining because of the license.
But you know, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse!
Li Jun felt very bad in his heart, and suddenly felt that he had traveled a year earlier, that is, the technology had developed better after a year. But if it was a year late, Robin would not have been able to attribute it to himself.
After putting aside some distracting thoughts, Li Jun asked Meng Qiang again, "So, how do you deal with these problems now?"
"I don't know, I'm a little troubled, when I see the design of this mobile phone, it's exactly like looking at a holy thing, seeing that the technology in it can be realized, but now I know that it is impossible to realize all those technologies. So, I don't know what to do, because it's a pity that the phone looks like now, whether it's a little more or a little less. ”
Li Jun thought about it, and it was indeed the same.
The system gives a full touch screen phone, which may be more common in the future, but it is really amazing enough now.
And the classic straight plate shape, ultra-thin design. The appearance is similar to the Lumia series of mobile phones after Nokia was acquired by Microsoft. If it's more accurate, it's like lumia825.
Li Jun himself also likes such a simple and atmospheric appearance.
But now, after knowing that I can't do it, I can't tell the disappointment in my heart.
Seeing that Li Jun was a little low, Meng Qiang and the others did not speak.
Everyone knows that the feeling of being full of blood and being spilled out in the end.
The atmosphere was a bit dreary.
In Li Jun's heart, it was a different idea.
