Chapter 53: Progress and Change
PS: I can't get out of my body, I will temporarily change it today, and I will make up for it tomorrow. Finally, I would like to ask for a recommendation, thank you for your reward.
β¦β¦
On the night of the 26th, at New York's JFK Airport, a yellow and white taxi was stopped by Asian faces.
"This should be my only chance......" muttered the man who stopped the car, and the black driver poked his head out and asked in English, "Sir, where are you going?" β
"Please come to this address." He came back to his senses and handed out a note in a Chinese accent. He is Liu Wenhua, who was ordered to come to the United States to meet with the fur seal team.
The black driver reads: "NYU Brooklyn School of Engineering...... Cool, please get on the car sir, are you Japanese? β
"Thank you, I'm from Huaxia." Getting into the car, Liu Wenhua checked his passport and cash.
"Cool!" The black driver, who seemed to be interested in travelers from the East, said with limited knowledge: "I went to China a long time ago. You know, you were very poor at that time, the Great Wall had not yet been built, and many people starved to death every year, God forbid, how did you survive? β
"What do you think?" Liu Wenhua asked lightly, but did not respond to him, and over time, the black man also drove his car quietly.
β¦β¦
"It's no accident!"
"Android system was only announced on the 23rd......"
"The boss bought the production line at the beginning of September...... In other words, the boss has expected that the Android phone will be hot in the future! β
Staring out the window, Liu Wenhua fell into a state of contemplation again, if it weren't for Zhang Fan personally telling him, he would never have imagined that the boss, who was only 2 years younger than himself, would actually be the most famous 'pre-emperor ZF future' on the Internet!
"......, and he is very good, before the 14th international announcement was changed, the electronic crazy retreat, but he received 100 lines in a row. Now the price of second-hand lines has risen, and the boss has saved at least tens of millions of dollars! β
"This time, he asked me to talk about the 'Seadog Browser teamwork', is it laying the foundation for the soft power of mobile phones?"
"If so, where are my opportunities? To make a good impression, you have to go above and beyond! Otherwise, there would be no such opportunity in the future. β
"Is it possible to help the boss find more 'software teams'? In addition to the browser, what else do you need in the boss's smartphone? β
Buzz - the mobile phone vibrates, and the caller is Zhang Fan.
Liu Wenhua cut off his thoughts and answered: "Boss." I've gotten off the plane and am now on my way to NYU's School of Engineering. β
"Thank you, it's tiring to fly for so long, right?" Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll send you an email address, you go and send the photographic and video information here." Call me anytime you have something, so you don't have to worry about jet lag. β
"Okay boss......" Liu Wenhua nodded (do you want to ask?) No, if I want to show that I am different, I have to give my boss a feeling of surprise, so that I can maximize my impression with him...... οΌβ
"Is there anything else?" Hearing that he didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Fan asked with a smile.
"Nope." Liu Wenhua retracted his thoughts and finally decided to take a gamble.
"That's good. You're safety first over there. β
β¦β¦
"Hoo ......"
Pengcheng Yasheng Building, compared with the night on the other side of the ocean, Huaxia is ushering in a new day.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Fan enjoyed the gentle breeze coming in from the window and stretched.
As a leader of a business, you can do everything, but you must know everything. So in the past few days, in addition to planning the establishment of a micro-news company with Zhou Yang, he is also learning relevant knowledge from various departments.
In the past 4 days, Zhang Fan has gained a lot, and the company's progress is developing in an orderly manner.
The first is the LOGO.
Now the company has replaced the new logo designed by Gao Tingting, from the famous brand, to the corporate regulations, to the footer of various documents, its shadow can be seen everywhere. In the future, staff uniforms and badges will also be used.
In addition, the software department has also done a good job in system research and development.
Recently, Android announced the official version of Android 1.1, Wu Ge divided the huge software into two teams, and he led one of the teams to continue to optimize the system, and develop practical plug-ins.
The other team was led by the newly recruited Zhou Yuan, who was responsible for the re-customization of the system's UI.
Zhou Yuan is a Chinese Canadian introduced by Gao Tingting, and has independently developed an Apple Pintai women's fashion application. With this application, she made $20,000 from it.
Originally, she was going to apply for the position of WeChat, but Zhang Fan took a fancy to her design of the UI, so he dug it up and asked her to lead a team to recustomize the UI interface of the system.
In terms of hardware, Li Jianguo led the engineers to determine the dimensions of the inner shell of the product, and the first set of mobile phone motherboards was designed.
IN TERMS OF CONFIGURATION, AFTER ZHANG FAN AND THEIR DISCUSSION, THE FIRST-GENERATION SPARK MOBILE PHONE WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH QUALCOMM'S FIRST 1GHZ PROCESSOR!
This CPU processor is the main product of this year's Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 series, integrating Adreno200GPU and supporting 3GHSPA network configuration, which has lower power consumption and more power than other series of products.
The inside of the fuselage will be used8G memory, running space256M, the camera is tentatively Sony8 million back-illuminated camera, independent sound effect decoding chip.
Originally, Zhang Fan also planned to equip the front camera, but now the front camera technology cannot achieve the effect he wants. Placing the rear camera in front really affects the aesthetics. It's like wearing a suit without a tie and tying a red scarf.
Therefore, Zhang Fan discussed with the engineer that 'it would be better to have a shortage than an abundance', and not to use the front camera for the time being.
In addition, the first-generation Starfire will be equipped with three sensors: a gravity sensor, a motion sensor, and a magnetic sensor.
The gravity sensor has been used by Apple, Samsung and other international manufacturers, in fact, in 2006, a Nokia model built in the sensor, but his role is not prominent.
What really made people in the industry know was Jobs's display at the press conference in 07, when the photo on the screen rotated with the gravity induction, I don't know how many people were excited.
The role of the magnetic sensor is to provide an electronic compass and cooperate with navigation services. With the support of powerful map services, it can help users quickly locate their location and navigate to the places they want to go through guΓ²GPS.
According to Zhang Fan's investigation, there is no mobile phone equipped with this kind of sensor, which is only popular in vehicle navigation systems, and the latest Apple 3G does not have it.
Zhang Fan plans to decorate the city with this feature as its own highlight. Of course, when it comes to mobile phones, he thinks about it from time to time, and it also requires the efforts of engineers such as Li Jianguo.
The last motion sensor, also known as the three-axis accelerometer, is currently (2008) on the market, and only one of Samsung's WM system phones is equipped with this hardware.
For this reason, Zhang Fan specially sold one from the market, this Samsung WM flagship machine can be used to flip and mute, rotate the fuselage to switch the angle of view (horizontal or vertical).
With the gravity sensor, the phone can be extended to 360-degree sensing!
Some of the mobile phone functions that Zhang Fan heard from Future Radio, such as 'shake to switch songs', 'shake prestige', 'flip to refuse to answer calls', and 'hold up to answer calls', all rely on it to realize.
After some tidying up, Zhang Fan now has a deep understanding: the future mobile phone is no longer a mobile phone with a traditional concept!
β¦β¦
Closing the notebook, Zhang Fan stretched his muscles and stood up, and then Gao Tingting walked in with a square box.
"It's pretty laid-back!" Gao Tingting sat down with a smile: "I sue you Zhang Fan, my aunt and grandmother have been tired these days, and I will be paid overtime at the end of the month!" β
"A must." Zhang Fan poured her a glass of water with a smile: "What's in it?" β
"It was Brother Jianguo who brought three shell design plans today." Gao Tingting took the paper cup, took a sip and opened the box.
I saw that there were three mobile phone shell models inside, the colors were: white, black, and Gao Tingting's specially designed 'blue starry sky'.
This time, the model shell is more delicate than the first one, and it is also a mirror material, but after buying it, it has a more delicate touch, and it feels like touching on the baby's skin.
At the same time, the design adds a shading interwoven with gold threads to the original single tone, which doubles the grade from the appearance.
With the Zhengzhong LOGO, the overall design breaks through the current mobile phone design concept, full of international style, and has a strong sense of design!
"How? Do you like that? Gao Tingting saw that Zhang Fan looked like she couldn't put it down, and she felt very relieved, and the shading of the mobile phone was designed by her personally.
"I love it all." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "The white one is suitable for women, the black one is suitable for business acquaintances, and the blue one I think you and I will like it very much." It looks imaginative. β
"It's quite a boast, and it will be added to the advertisement when the time comes!" Gao Tingting said with a smile.
Zhang Fan smiled, and began to look forward to the future of mobile phones.
Thinking of this, his mind flashed once again with the recent broadcast.
During this time, the 'Spark Company' seemed to disappear in the future, and was replaced by a WeChat message that had not yet been formed.
There are two broadcasts that mentioned the news of the Weixin Seadog browser, saying that in 2013, the seadog occupied 60 million mobile market shares, surpassing Penguin to become the second largest mobile browser.
"Since you mentioned WeChat, why didn't you mention 'Xinghuo'?" Zhang Fan guessed that in the next five years, Xinghuo would still be in trouble.
The reason for the emergence of this kind of future, he feels that Cheng DΓΉ is the greatest, and I am afraid that it is still inseparable from Liu Tao and Hong Junyang.
Two days ago, Zhang Fan officially rejected their request for cooperation, and secretly made the decision not to sell the company to them at any time, but the next day the broadcast no longer 'sparked' any content.
Yesterday, when he and Zhou Yang were having dinner, Liu Tao called him and said that he was going to build a mobile phone company and also develop Android smartphones, and invited Zhou Yang to join.
And this morning, a piece of news suddenly appeared on the radio that 'Huasheng Tianle mobile phone participated in the Brazilian Consumer Electronics Exhibition'.
β¦β¦
"What do you think? Why are you wandering again? Seeing Zhang Fan's appearance in a daze, Gao Tingting suddenly wanted to go up and take a bite.
She hurriedly suppressed the thought in her heart: "I'm still busy." If you decide to call Brother Jianguo. β
"Okay." Zhang Fan nodded back to his senses, and as soon as he picked up his mobile phone, Zhao Xuejun called.
