Chapter 39 Points
"Boss, in my eyes, Apple's iPhone is far from mature."
Chen Qi is a person with technical ambitions, and he has set his goals in college, so although his average grade is not very good, he has surpassed many teachers in some areas, such as software and system programming.
Yan zhòng's bias affected Chen Qi's grades, but it did not affect his studies.
Chen Qi, who concentrates on researching technology, does not work behind closed doors, and he has always paid attention to the development of external technologies, especially some of the latest technologies. These broadened Chen Qi's horizons and inspired him to think about the future development of electronic technology. Without these accumulations, Chen Qi would never see the significance of the iPhone.
"I don't think Steve Jobs' iPhone will sell well in the end, but it's all about it. Especially in this mobile phone, the iPhoneOS operating system shown by Jobs, its maturity is simply astounding. Boss, I have no doubt at all, as long as he is given enough time, in the future Jobs will be able to make a mobile phone comparable to a computer! ”
Chen Qi expressed his opinions, including Lu Yang, more than 20 technicians in the room listened without saying a word, some showed disdain, and some secretly admired, but Lu Yang's eyes did get brighter and brighter, and he knew that Chen Qi's judgment was very correct.
"If we're going to make a phone like this, the operating system is the core issue. There are other related software programs, all of which are difficult. As for the hardware, it's secondary. In the iPhone, the hardware is not the highlight. Of course, the chip in the iPhone is also very important. ”
"What do you think?" After Chen Qi finished speaking, Lu Yang did not comment, but asked others.
Liang Yuan was not there, there were no other leaders in the mobile phone team of Tianxin Technology, and after listening to Lu Yang's question, everyone looked at each other and did not say anything.
Lu Yang waited patiently, what he hoped to see was a group of energetic and innovative technicians, but unfortunately the people in front of him made him a little disappointed.
Finally, a man cautiously raised his hand.
"No need to raise your hand, say." Lu Yang was a little angry, and after waiting for half a minute, only one person had the courage to speak.
The person who raised his hand was a group of fresh graduates who entered the company with Chen Qi, whose name was Xia Shouren.
Xia Shouren plucked up the courage and said, "I also think that the company should develop the next generation of smartphones......
"Why?" Lu Yang asked rhetorically.
Xia Shouren paused: "The functions of mobile phones are getting more and more perfect, and users' requirements for mobile phones are getting higher and higher. Advanced phones will inevitably eliminate backward phones, and since we believe in the direction indicated by the iPhone, why seize the opportunity? ”
Seeing Xia Shouren speak, Shi Yan, a technician from a former Seven Star Electronics Company, said: "If you want to make a new smart phone, it's easy to say, have you considered the risks?" I've seen Apple's iPhone, too, but until now, Apple has been the only company that makes such a phone. Even international giants such as Nokia and Motorola have not reacted, we Tianxin Technology to do it, once it fails, what will be the consequences? ”
Shi Yantong expressed everyone's worries, and at this time, even Chen Qi was speechless.
Yes, success is good, but in case of failure, who bears the responsibility?
When Lu Yang saw it, he sighed secretly, these technicians not only have an average technical level, but also are too conservative in their thinking. It's a dream to rely on them to make a new smartphone.
"Okay, we'll talk about that later. Now that today's test is completed, our first mobile phone of Tianxin Technology is finalized. ”
Hearing Lu Yang's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy expression appeared on their faces.
"The follow-up production work cannot be relaxed. In addition, CTA testing should be done as much as possible. Lu Yang explained.
The finalization of the mobile phone is good news for Lu Yang. However, he was thinking about the smartphone project in the future.
As early as when Steve Jobs released the iPhone, Lu Yang had this thought, but at that time he was busy with the mobile phone project in front of him and had no energy to take care of anything else. Moreover, the new generation of smartphones has entered the ranks of mid-level electronic products, and its technical difficulty is much more than that of current smartphones.
Of course, the technical problem Lu Yang can solve. In Tiandao Mall, the price of intermediate electronic product design technology is 10,000 credits, which is 100 million yuan. 100 million yuan, Lu Yang gritted his teeth and was still able to take it out. In this way, Lu Yang can completely design a smartphone that surpasses the iPhone.
However, it is not that simple.
Compared with the current smartphone, the iPhone has higher requirements for the operating system and software, and at the same time, it also puts forward new standards for the construction of network infrastructure. Even if Lu Yang buys a smartphone that is ahead of the times from Tiandao Mall, it is still a question whether he can use it when he takes it out.
Including these, many problems are not something that Lu Yang can solve alone.
Even so, Lu Yang still plans to start the smartphone project.
"Qiuqiu, how many points do I have now?" When he got home, Lu Yang took out his Tiandao credit card.
"Ding! The user currently has 30,000 points. ”
Lu Yang said: "It's only 30,000 points...... The second-level products in Tiandao Mall also require a minimum of 30,000 points, and this smartphone needs 100,000 points, and it seems that it can't be redeemed now. By the way, Qiuqiu, can I apply for an increase in my credit limit? ”
"Ding! It has been detected that the user has purchased a second-level technology, performed a mental enhancement, a physical enhancement, and has a good consumption record, and the current increase limit is 3000 credits. ”
"What, you can raise the amount, why don't you say it?" Lu Yang just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be really possible.
"Users need to take the initiative to apply, and the system has no obligation to inform." Qiuqiu's huge head was held high.
"Okay, Qiuqiu, I'm applying now to increase my credit limit to 3,000 points." Lu Yang was defeated by the momentum of the ball and could only admit defeat.
"Ding! The user's current credit limit is increased to 3,000 points. Qiuqiu's movements were very neat, and with a wave of his hand, Lu Yang's credit limit became 3,000.
"Great, the credit limit is increased, and the points you will get in the future will be more."
According to the regulations of Tiandao Credit Card, the goods in the product list of Tiandao Mall can only be exchanged with points. Among them, the first-level products are of little value to Luyang, but the second-level products are very attractive, such as virtual helmets, smart glasses, etc., which have not yet appeared in this kind of products. These products are more valuable and more technical than smartphones.
And some of the products that have been produced by human beings, such as supercomputers, space shuttles, etc., Lu Yang is also eager for them. However, the price of such goods is too high, with the supercomputer being 900,000 credits and the space shuttle being 1 million credits, the highest of the second-tier products.
"1 million points......" Lu Yang shook his head, according to his current credit limit of 3,000 points, he would have to spend at least thirty times to save enough points. Of course, in the future, when his credit limit is raised, the speed of obtaining points will definitely be faster.
"The space shuttle is a second-level product, so what should be a third-level product? Spacecraft? ”
Lu Yang looked at those gray lattices and thought curiously.
"Forget it, no matter how good the third-level product is, I can't afford to buy ......"
Lu Yang no longer struggled with these problems, but returned to reality and considered how to carry out the next generation of smartphone projects.
……
After being inspected by Lu Yang, Tianxin Technology's first mobile phone was officially finalized and sent by Liang Yuan to CTA for quality inspection. Lu Yang has nothing to worry about this.
"What are you going to do with the propaganda work?" Lu Yang called the marketing department of Tianxin Technology and asked bluntly. R&D is important for a mobile phone, but marketing is equally important. Without marketing, no matter how good a phone is, it can't be sold. Especially in this era, mobile phones are being updated too quickly, and marketing efforts are more prominent.
Lu Yang, who was born as a salesman, naturally did not know this, and set up a marketing department as early as the beginning of the year.
Although the marketing department of Tianxin Technology has been established for a relatively short time, their work ability has been recognized by Lu Yang, especially Su Yan, the marketing director.
