Chapter 425: Meteorite Phone
In the past few days since he came back, Zhang Bin has dealt with some things accumulated here, and then met some people.
With the expansion of the impact of the live broadcast event, as of the end of August, the cooperation of Hengyuan Group has increased by more than 50%, and it is still increasing.
There is also a shortage of manpower in various departments.
With the completion of the establishment of the flight equipment company, Zhang Lingfei is also responsible for the affairs over there, and the business of the finance department, Zhang Bin needs to find someone to do it again.
In view of his previous performance, Zhang Bin is ready to directly put PwC in charge of the group's finances.
The day after his return, Wu Ling brought the whole family to Zhang Bin's house to thank him.
Zhang Bin left their family for a meal, no matter what, this matter has fulfilled Wu Ling and Hengyuan Group.
On September 6th, Zhang Bin came to Providence Technology.
Wang Haijun has moved back to Longyang City, and his life in Yanjing seems to be a little unaccustomed, and Providence Technology's business in Yanjing has begun to be replaced by Baidu, so Zhang Bin let him move back.
Baidu is happy to do such things, and he has both antivirus software and a browser in his hands.
Zhang Bin thinks it doesn't matter, this may not be a bad thing for these two software, anyway, their interests will not be less, since Baidu is willing to work hard, Zhang Bin and they are also happy.
Li Youhong is a smart person, maybe he was a little cautious at the beginning, and in the future, Providence Technology is currently fledgling and wants to monopolize the results of cooperation, but now it is not a simple matter of Providence Technology.
As the major shareholder of Providence Technology, Zhang Bin's Hengyuan Group is currently not small, and even a large listed company like Baidu has to face up to the power of Hengyuan Group.
The new testing machine has come out, and Liu Shuqing asked Zhang Bin to go over and take a look.
When they came to the office, the two arrived before him.
The phone was placed on the table, and the two seemed to have looked at it.
"How many days have you been back?" Liu Shuqing got up and went to get a glass of water for Zhang Bin.
"Two or three days, I'm busy meeting," Zhang Bin said helplessly.
"It's inevitable, whoever made your kid so high-profile now, you can see those who are really cooperative, if it's those who sell their reputations," Wang Haijun suggested.
"Don't worry, I know", Zhang Bin nodded.
After a few simple small talks, Zhang Bin picked up his mobile phone and looked at it.
Zhang Bin first looked at the appearance, to put it bluntly, it was not very good-looking, but the technology at this time could not reach the level of later generations, at this time, it was not bad.
The standard size of the first phone is 3.5 inches, which is the diagonal length, and the time width of the screen is about 5.3cm wide and 7.1cm long, although the data will be more detailed.
480*320 resolution, this will be the main market in the next two years.
Judging from the appearance, Zhang Bin feels that it is in line with people's appreciation level at this time, at least Zhang Bin thinks that he still thinks that such a mobile phone is still good.
He picked up the main parameters of the mobile phone, the shape is mainly divided into black, white, and pink, divided into two types: curved and straight, and the memory is mainly 4G, 8G, 16G three models, and the lens pixel can reach five million, which can be increased, and when it is officially released next year, the pixel can also be improved.
Then Zhang Bin took a look at the standby time of the mobile phone, the Internet time and network speed are worse than Apple's 3G at this time, but this mainly depends on the domestic operator.
Zhang Bin took Apple's 3G data and compared it, and then began to make some suggestions with them.
The first is to focus on the shape, Zhang Bin proposed improvements to the design of the back and bezel of the phone according to his own ideas, after all, the touch screen is used on the bottom three buttons.
In order to cater to the habits of consumers at this time, this mobile phone still retains three buttons, namely the desktop button, the return button and the multi-task switch button.
With the release of Apple's 3G, there has gradually been a boom in the use of smart phones in the world, but at this time, it is still difficult to buy these smart phones in the mainland for various reasons, so this is Zhang Bin's opportunity.
Zhang Bin: They discussed for a long time, because it involved various aspects, such as memory, such as chips, such as input and operation problems.
After identifying various problems, the three of them went to the laboratory and began to ask the experimenters about specific parameters and some questions to see if the latest mobile phone could be rushed out as soon as possible.
After putting forward these requirements, Zhang Bin added, "For the overall structure of the mobile phone, it should look unique, it will not feel too heavy in the hand, and the thickness should not be too thick, just moderate."
The first phone is expected to be released in April next year, so they don't have much time left.
But after all, it is the first paragraph, and many problems must not be discovered in time, so it can only be said that they will be found and corrected in the gradual use.
"How much can the cost be reduced at present?" Zhang Bin asked Liu Shuqing.
"With the compression of technical costs, we can also compress the hardware a little, mainly because the cost of some important components can not be suppressed, if the sales can exceed one million units, the cost can be compressed at 1,600 yuan, and the patent fee of 1,600 yuan is about half," Liu Shuqing said in a deep voice.
1,600 yuan, this cost is not high, after being sold through various channels, the price must be set at least 2,200 yuan, this price is not high even compared to some high-end non-smart phones, not to mention a smart phone.
In order to reduce costs, this mobile phone also deliberately uses slightly inferior parts in some parts.
This is a helpless thing, if all the best parts and software are used, the cost will go up, the price is too high, and the Chinese people will generally not appreciate it.
Back in the office, Zhang Bin and the others began to discuss the preparations for the release of mobile phones next year.
At present, the operator's 3G license has not been issued specifically, but there is already news, and it should be issued by the first two months of next year at the latest.
Judging from the current situation, it is of course best to choose mobile cooperation, but it is also necessary to retain a variety of access channels and cannot be completely tied to one of the operators, which is easy to bring many drawbacks.
Regarding the mobile phone brand, Liu Shuqing also made a simple situation collection within the company.
What should a brand be called?
The three of them finally discussed, and according to the existing names, they finally decided, it is called a meteorite, taking the English alphabet, YS.
The implication is that it is an alien object, bringing a different experience and a sense of technology, and it also has the meaning of excellent quality.
Of course, each phone will have its own code, but the overall name is Meteorite.
The release of mobile phones is still a few months away at most, and the laying of the relevant channels can also begin.
The laying of channels is nothing more than to attract some agents, of course, there are also some direct stores and network sales channels, which is also a work that needs to be done before February next year.
"I'm still in charge of the laying of the northern channel, after all, I've been there for a few months, so I'm relatively familiar with it," Wang Haijun took the initiative to take over the construction of the northern channel.
"Then I'll be in charge of the work in the south", Zhang Bin also took over part of the work, Liu Shuqing needs to be responsible for a lot of places after all, and it must be too late to completely throw it to him, anyway, now Zhang Bin has a lot of people under him, plus his personal influence, shouting, there must be a lot of people who want to cooperate.
(Something happens tomorrow morning, and it will start to erupt in the afternoon, and it will be updated to the death, and you can write as much as you can)
