Chapter 110: Tablets

In Lu Yang's eyes, the most important thing is the Chinese market, followed by the Japanese and European and American markets. Of course, Lu Yang will not give up in other markets, but he will not invest so much energy.

While "Starry Sky 1" was on sale in Japan and South Korea, Luyang and they were not idle.

In Fuhai City, Huaxia, in the conference hall of Tianxin Technology Company, Lu Yangtong guò PPT showed a new product to the company's R&D personnel, and this product will also be their next R&D goal.

On the big screen, a magnified "Starry Sky 1" mobile phone is rotating, showing itself from all directions.

"Here's a concept art for our next product." Lu Yang introduced that this image was copied by him from Tiandao Mall, and it is also the next product he prepared for the company, a tablet.

"Boss, isn't this just an enlarged 'Starry Sky 1'?" Questions were raised.

Lu Yang said: "In a sense, it can be said that this is not exactly 'Starry Sky 1'. 'Starry Sky 1' is a mobile phone, and it belongs to a computer. ”

"Computer?" A question mark rose in everyone's mind.

Suddenly, a voice came out.

"It's a tablet!"

When everyone looked at it, it was Ye Wenbing who spoke out.

Lu Yang smiled: "Lao Ye is right, this is a tablet. The concept of a tablet was proposed by Microsoft's Bill Gates, and Microsoft has also shown its own TabletPC, but this product is far from mature. Until today, there are no full-fledged tablets on the market, so this field is somewhat similar to smartphones. ”

"Boss, will consumers get used to this kind of tablet without keyboard and mouse?" Ge Fangcun, the head of the design department, asked, and his question was a sentimental question for many people.

"Lao Ge, don't equate a tablet with a computer, in fact, in terms of function, a tablet is much thinner than a laptop, if it is used for office, the vast majority of people may not choose it, but there are some entertainment functions, and the tablet is not bad at all."

Lu Yang can name the benefits of tablets, mainly because he has a tablet himself. Not long after returning from Japan, Lu Yang used 100,000 points to exchange for a tablet from Tiandao Mall, in order to have a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the tablet.

"Like smartphones, tablets are equipped with a touch screen, which is very easy to operate. The biggest point of the tablet is its portability, such as the tablet in this picture, the screen is 9.7 inches, weighs less than 500g, and its functions cover most of the laptop, you can use it to browse the web, you can play games, you can watch videos, listen to music. It also has many features that laptops don't have, such as taking photos, such as handwriting recognition, voice recognition, ...... It can serve as your portable notebook, your portable photo album. You can even use it for office work and daily work. It's more like a computer than a smartphone, and it's closer to life than a laptop! ”

After Lu Yang finished speaking, the conference room was quiet, and after more than ten seconds, I don't know who suddenly applauded, and then the applause rang out.

Lu Yang pressed his hands weakly: "Okay, there is no need for everyone to applaud, saying that these are to make everyone understand that tablets and smartphones are different, and there will inevitably be a broad market in the future." To achieve this, we need to work together. ”

"Boss, don't worry, we will do our best to make this tablet!" Liang Yuan expressed his determination on behalf of everyone.

Lu Yang said: "You don't need to be nervous, the technology of tablet computers and smartphones is in the same line, and it can be said that we have mastered the key technologies of Tianxin Technology." However, a tablet is not a mobile phone after all, and if you want to develop a mature work, you also need everyone's wisdom. But I dare say that once our products are brought to market, they will definitely shock the world! On smartphones, we are not the first to eat crabs, but on tablets, we must be the first! ”

"That's right, you have to be the first!"

Ye Wenbing analyzed: "If there are no technical problems, at most half a year, our tablet can be formed." At present, the only companies that have the strength to make tablets are us and Apple. However, Apple is much worse than us in this regard, their iPhoneOS system is not stable enough, and the hardware devices are not as complete as ours, so it is unlikely that a tablet will be launched in the short term. ”

Ye Wenbing's words are very reasonable and have been recognized by everyone.

"No matter what, we can't take it lightly, it's right to look at the competition, it's more important to do ourselves well. The old rule, I am personally responsible for the project, Lao Liang assists me, and your major departments must come up with a plan as quickly as possible......"

Lu Yang made the final distribution, speaking of which, Lu Yang doesn't have to be so complicated at all, as long as he takes out the tablet in his hand and lets everyone study it, with a reference, Tianxin Technology will soon be able to make a finished product. But will he be able to do so? Of course not.

For the company's technical team, Lu Yang is very confident, with his guidance, coupled with the company's current accumulation, the tablet is not a problem.

What Lu Yang didn't know was that Apple had already started the tablet project, and in 2002 Apple had an internal prototype of the iPad, but because the iPad was too heavy and the battery was too weak, the project was shelved. However, Jobs was not one to give up easily, and at his insistence, the iPad project continued, and many problems have been overcome.

On March 12, the sales figures of "Starry Sky 1" in Japan and South Korea came back. Within a week, 100,000 units of the Star 1 were sold in Japan and 30,000 units in Korea. This sales volume is nothing compared to China, when "Starry Sky 1" was the hottest, the daily sales reached 50,000 units. However, Tianxin Technology is still jubilant.

Seeing this number, Lu Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, and "Starry Sky 1" finally proved itself in the foreign market.

"Boss, this is the specific number, the Tokyo market has the largest sales, with 40,000 units. In addition, the number shows that the sales of 'Starry Sky 1' are still rising. According to a survey by SoftBank's subsidiaries, 'Star 1' has been well received and has a good reputation, and there is still a lot of room for sales to rise. ”

Su Yan analyzed these numbers for the first time, and the Japanese market was the first overseas market she was responsible for, which was also a challenge for her.

"Yes, the propaganda continues."

Lu Yang knows that in the current Japanese market, "Star 1" has no opponent at all, and although the iPhone occupies a first-mover advantage, it is not an opponent in a protracted war. Although Apple is famous, and Tianxin Technology is a Huaxia company, the market will eventually make a choice and survive the fittest.

The sales of "Starry Sky 1" in Japan and South Korea were announced to the official website and Tianxin community, and Su Yan also added a more exaggerated title, "Huaxia's Breakthrough". However, this title has been recognized by the majority of netizens, and everyone has left messages:

"Tianxin Technology is worthy of being the best high-tech company in China, and even the Japanese have been conquered now......"

"Huaxia finally has an electronic product to enter the Japanese market."

"'Star 1' is really better than the iPhone 3G, and the weekly sales of the iPhone in Japan are not so high."

"I heard that the Japanese in Tokyo are lining up to buy 'Starry Sky 1', and young Japanese people regard Lu Yang as an idol."

"Tianxin Technology has done a good job, we used to buy Japanese electronic products, and now the Japanese also come to buy our electronic products."

……

The most new breakthrough in China's electronics industry is not only reported by online media, but also commented on TV and newspapers. The first to report was Minnan TV, after all, Tianxin Technology is also an enterprise in Minnan Province. Within two days, the national station actually reported on it.

Lu Xinguang has the habit of watching news broadcasts, just after eating this day, Zhang Chunfang was busy cleaning up in the kitchen, and suddenly heard Lu Xinguang's shout.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, come and see ......"

Zhang Chunfang was startled and hurriedly ran over.

"What's wrong?"
