On October 10th, the fever of the 11th Golden Week completely subsided, and a number of patents such as appearance UI applied by Xinghuo to the National Patent Office were officially replied, and the next step was to wait for the authorization after 6 months.

In the blink of an eye, the R&D work of Xinghuo UI design, system, application, hardware and other research and development work has entered a state of full speed drive, if Xinghuo Company is compared to a computer, then from Zhang Fan's CPU, to Feng Hong and other six hardware management with 50 employees running at full speed.

In just a few days, the Spark has been rejuvenated from top to bottom.

The first is to work safely, after learning the lesson of hard drive loss, Xinghuo locked the case of each computer, and at the same time disabled all USB ports, so as to prevent someone from taking the data.

In addition, four new security guards were recruited, and one group was responsible for the company's security and duty during the day and night, and all four of them had been filed with the public security machine.

In terms of treatment, Zhang Fan, Feng Hong and others readjusted the salary and dividend system.

The front-line production personnel and the company's design and R&D personnel implement two sets of models.

Front-line personnel cancel profit dividends, pay 3,000 yuan per month for five insurances and one housing fund, with housing subsidies, and additional bonuses for excellent work.

The company maintains a low wage + 2% profit sharing plan, plus a 50% housing subsidy. In this way, the subsidy fee for three to four people can be combined to rent a good house.

In addition, Zhang Fan also added the benefits of dining, the original lunch meal, changed to two meals in the morning and lunch. From 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., employees can enjoy morning tea and discuss work at the same time.

In addition, Zhang Fan's 'no-working hours management' mentioned earlier was first launched in the three departments of design, software, and hardware, and the financial and customer service of the management department remained unchanged due to needs.

Recently, as soon as the 'no working hours system' was implemented, Zhang Fan found that everyone left later and came earlier. The work progress is done quickly and easily.

For example, Wu Ge and other employees in the software department were busy until nine o'clock in the evening yesterday before making the 'weather forecast' and 'clock plug-in' out, and then came to the company early this morning to make a cup of morning tea, eat snacks, and discuss yesterday's 'unfinished plan'.

In this way, there is no tension of rushing to work, and the things in the meeting are moved to the meal time in small talk, which is equivalent to a unique corporate culture of 'social + food + work'.

In this environment, those who work in software and design unconsciously become workaholics, and by the way, other departments are also mobilized, and the progress of various tasks is twice as fast as before.

It's like a fat man who loses fat, loses volume, and is more flexible in movement.

In addition to Xinghuo, the Weixin company established by Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang has also ushered in some new blood, and now all departments add up to the same as Xinghuo.

In order to seize the opportunity, foreigner Steven worked overtime crazily, and developed an instant messaging software for LAN in three days. Hundreds of employees from both companies can communicate quickly and easily through the guò software.

……

Approaching noon, the atmosphere in the company was harmonious, and the Xinghuo team and the WeChat team were busy with their own affairs. Steven hid himself in a small corner, struggling to study his voice-activated assistant.

In the chairman's office, Zhang Fan and Feng Hong, Li Li, and Ji Jianguo are discussing the company's split.

Regarding the company's split, Zhang Fan had already mentioned it eleven years ago. According to his previous concept, he planned to divide the Starfire into two major structures: software and hardware.

The product design, product manufacturing, and product research and development are combined into the hardware of Xinghuo. The goal is to develop into a 3C product R&D and manufacturing group like Hon Hai Foxconn.

Now the production department has the strength of an annual output of 50 million sets of equipment, and is fully capable of disrupting the OEM industry.

As for Wu Ge's software designers, they will be assembled into Xinghuo's software. The model refers to the Xiaomi company mentioned in the broadcast.

Finally, personnel, finance, management, patents and other aspects are unified under the 'Spark' group company.

This three parties perform their own duties, and the software and hardware departments only need to focus on their own development.

In the office, Zhang Fan turned the tip of his pen and said to the surrounding management: "In this way, let's try to try out the internal structure for a while, so that everyone can adapt to themselves, and gradually split it when necessary." What do you guys think? ”

"I agree with the boss's line of thought." Ji Jianguo of the production department immediately said: "Now our production line is fully competitive, and it is really better to use the remaining production capacity there as an OEM." In this way, the work of employees is also stable. ”

"I'm in favor of it too." Feng Hong said with a smile: "This is also a kind of training for production technology research and development, maybe Apple will also ask us to make mobile phones in the future." ”

"Hehehe......" Everyone chuckled, Zhang Fan nodded and smiled: "Okay, when Brother Li comes, we'll listen to his opinion." When the time comes, let's think about what the name will be after the split. It's best to listen to a catchy one. ”

Li Li smiled: "How about calling it ice cream?" Ice cream ......"

As he was talking, he saw Li Jianguo come in with a few hardware colleagues, and everyone's faces were a little red and excited.

"Boss, the engineering machine has been made." As soon as Li Jianguo stepped into the office, he couldn't wait to put the carton in his hand on Zhang Fan's desk.

This packaging box is designed with white paper, except for a spark LOGO in the center, other aspects are extremely simple, and the first feeling that comes into the eye is the atmosphere.

The box can be opened in a drawer style, but it can only be pulled on one side and closed on the other side. After taking it out, the sturdy outer packaging can be used as a storage box. This thoughtful little detail is both practical and branding.

For example, if the user regards the outer packaging as a storage box, the first thing that catches the eye is the Xinghuo LOGO, which will naturally be recorded in the brain after a long time.

Take out the inner packaging, see the engineering prototype lying quietly in the middle, 4.5 large screen and no button design, so that the overall design of the mobile phone is very coordinated. Accustomed to seeing the current slide cover and straight buttons, the first impression of the engineering prototype is a strong visual impact!

This can be seen in the eyes of everyone around.

"It's beautiful!" Li Li folded her hands excitedly, and the others also couldn't wait for Zhang Fan's inspection.

Zhang Fan, like them at the moment, picked up the mobile phone with a little excitement, and found that the grip was much more comfortable than the previous model machine.

The main reason is that the original model machine size is 145.5x70.1x13.3mm, after the continuous design and modification of Li Jianguo and the engineering staff in the past few days, the size of the mobile phone has been reduced to 130x62.5x13mm, but the screen size has not changed.

So the phone looks big, but the feel of only receiving it is not much different from holding an Apple 3G.

The configuration parameters are as previously discussed, and the processor adopts this year's Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 series flagship product, 1G main frequency, integrated Adreno200GPU.

The fuselage has built-in 8G memory and a running space of 256M.

In order to reduce the cost of the camera, the original 8 million pixels were reduced to Sony's 5 million back-illuminated camera.

In terms of sensors, it is equipped with a gravity sensor, a three-axis motion sensor, and a magnetic sensor.

At the earpiece on the front of the phone, the originally scheduled breathing light was removed. The reason for this is to increase the overall design aesthetic while reducing the engineering difficulty.

Thumb up and down operation,Basically cover the entire corner of the screen,Volume key、Photo button、The three buttons of the power on and off button respond crisply,The feel is a little stiff。

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, Zhang Fan now feels extremely comfortable, he secretly estimated the weight of the engineering machine and said to Li Jianguo: "There are 180 grams, right?" ”

"A little heavier than 180 grams." Li Jianguo replied with a smile, he could see that the boss was very satisfied.

"Well, with this weight, I'm not afraid of being scolded as a copycat." After Zhang Fan finished speaking, there was a chuckle around him.

Zhang Fan smiled: "It's good overall, but these three buttons are not very comfortable, you can try ......" said, he handed his Apple 3G and engineering prototype to Li Li and others.

Everyone tried it, and they all felt that Apple's buttons were more comfortable to touch than the engineering prototype. Li Jianguo and several hardware personnel wrote it down on the spot.

"Can I turn it on?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Yes." Li Jianguo nodded and smiled, he was looking forward to Zhang Fan's expression after turning on the machine.

"Boss, open it up and take a look!" Li Li couldn't wait.

Outside the office, Gao Tingting saw everyone gathered around the table, and walked in to find out what was going on with curiosity, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the engineering machine in Zhang Fan's hand.

"Huh! The phone is made?! ”

"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded, and pressed and held the shutdown button under the guidance of the engineer on the side.

2 seconds, the phone screen and touch buttons respond, and the ring touch button lights up red.

"Beautiful!" Gao Tingting snapped her fingers, and there was excitement all around......

Because there is no design of the boot interface, the screen is still displayed on the Android machine qì person LOGO after booting.

After a few moments of loading, the system officially enters the lock screen!

With the previous contact, Zhang Fan didn't have much freshness about the native Android system, he handed the phone to Gao Tingting, who had been reaching out, and asked, "By the way, what material is the screen we use?"

"Samsung TFT screen, resolution 800*480." Li Jianguo replied.

"...... like this" Zhang Fan thought for a while: "I remember that the radio mentioned that the retina level will be used in the future, and the screen resolution of Xiaomi Mi 3 seems to be more than 1000, right?" ”

"Isn't the technology up to now?"

"Don't move, don't move!" While Zhang Fan was thinking, Gao Tingting raised her mobile phone to take pictures of him, and pressed the shutter with the ...... Phone Freezes......

"Why don't you move?? Wu Ge, hurry up and roll over to the old lady! Gao Tingting shouted!

Outside the office, Wu Ge trembled with fright, and hurriedly put down the lunch box in his hand and went to report. In the past few days, he has been bullied by Gao Tingting.

"Boss, Sister Tingting...... Hey! Has the engineering prototype been made? Wu Ge asked in surprise when he saw the phone.

"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded with a smile, Gao Tingting handed the phone to Wu Ge: "See for yourself!" What a broken system, just press to take a picture and it doesn't move. ”

"It's a dead machine." Wu Ge took the engineering machine to inspect and found that the screen and touch screen buttons were always on, and other operations did not respond. The engineering staff next to him also stepped forward to check the phone.

Zhang Fan didn't care much about this small detail, and turned to Li Jianguo and asked, "Can you be more detailed in terms of the screen?" I mean resolution. ”

Li Jianguo said: "At present, this Samsung screen is the best. In fact, the screen display effect is no worse than Apple's. ”

"It's not enough." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "In the face of an international company like Apple, we have already lost by 'doing no worse than him'." To win, it is necessary to suppress it in an all-round way. Go back and talk to them and ask if the other vendors have better screens. ”

"I want our phone screens to reach the retina level as much as possible."

"Retina level?" Li Jianguo didn't quite understand what Zhang Fan meant.

……

The retina screen was first proposed by Mr. Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple.

To put it simply, Apple's retina screen compresses the 960×640 resolution into a 3.5-inch display, so that the screen pixel density reaches 326 pixels / inch.

This means that the screen is sharper and the particles on the screen are not visible to the naked eye.

"Brother Li, wait a minute, I'll answer the phone."

Zhang Fan took out the vibrating mobile phone and saw that the display number was Yanjing: "Hello, you are ......"

"Why, I don't remember my sister for just over a month? Runny penis...... Hehe. A woman's teasing came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you...... Sister Lan? Listening to this laughter, Zhang Fan's brain quickly matched the familiar image.

……

PS: Ask for recommendations, I hope it can break through 6,000 this week. …
