What Zhao Qi saw was not a mobile phone, but a small point that had been reduced in equal proportions, yes, it was an 8.5-inch tablet computer that was made into a 4-inch small tablet.

Why? First of all, its shape is almost exactly the same as that of a point-to-point, with a black plastic shell body, rounded chamfers, and a smooth arc of the body, all of which are no different from a point-to-point. The only difference with Yidian Tong is that there are slightly more blank parts at the upper and lower ends of this prototype, and the bottom is mainly to place the dragon claw home button to free up 1.5 cm of space, and the top is also left 1.5 cm of space for balance. Best of all, the bezels on both sides are also wide enough to drive trains......

All in all, this black piece of stuff is not only ugly in Zhao Qi's opinion, but also clumsy, it doesn't deserve to be called a high-tech smart device at all!

A thing that doesn't even look high-tech, and still expects to be recognized as high-tech?

"Don't look at it! Redo! ”

This is what Zhao Qi said three seconds after seeing the prototype.

"Hey! You haven't used it yet, it's super fast, it's perfect for all the games above, and even, connected to the Wi-Fi, you can also surf the Internet, listen to music, and watch videos! I've never used such a great phone! Not to mention anything else, in terms of speed and performance, the iPhone3g is a blast! Why redo? ”

Jin Xiaobao immediately quit, he was in charge of the hardware, and he was also responsible for making the prototype, so at this time, he had a calf protection mentality.

Wang Fatzi was also a little unhappy: "Zhao Qi, how can you be so arbitrary?" Just glance at it and negate the results of our efforts? Did you know? The program of this machine was that I stayed up a few all-nighters with everyone to test it. To successfully integrate into this machine? Operational performance is nothing to say! We are all satisfied! ”

"Little Red. It's not a problem with the hardware or the program......" Zhao Qi tried to explain.

"Don't call me Red!" Wang Fatzi is slightly hideous.

"Okay, Red. Let's move on to the problem with the prototype, Little Red. ”

"Uh......"

"Have you seen the products that our partner manufacturers are making? As I remember, it seems that the fastest Northern Electronics has already started mass production and is ready to launch a smartphone next month, that is, in May! Have you seen their products? Zhao Qi could only explain slowly, these people were born blind. Definitely don't expect anything aesthetic from them. They really can't fight violence with violence, they have never eaten soft rather than hard, and their temper is fierce, and they dare to strike when they are in a hurry.

"I've seen it! When they encounter difficulties in their technology, they all ask us to guide, why haven't we seen it? It's all like that! It's the same as a little bit of Tong, and it's no different from a machine like ours. However, the performance gap is not a little bit ...... compared to our prototype," said Wang Fatzi.

The rest of the people nodded, and Jin Xiaobao and Lu Yuan all echoed and supported.

Now there are three high-ranking people in the technology research and development department of Dragon Claw Technology, one is Wang Fatzi, who is in charge of program design. One is Jin Xiaobao, who specializes in hardware technology, and the other is Lu Yuan, a battery engineer.

Lu Elemental came to hate Zhao Qi. In his opinion, Zhao Qi just didn't understand anything, and asked for a layman with a lot of questions. So, he forced and asked: "Zhao Qi, you are not satisfied, there must be a reason, right?" ”

"It's ugly!" Zhao Qi's words are concise and to the point.

Tang Miciao, who saw the excitement, smiled, and then found that he was glared at by the engineers, stuck out his tongue, and stood behind Zhao Qi.

However, everyone knows that Tang Mician is the head of the Oriental Group and a big player who provides hardware support for Dragon Claw Technology, so naturally he will not easily offend her. Of course, the deeper reason may be that the engineers present are all men, most of them are single dogs, and Tang Mician is a peerless beauty.

"How can electronics be judged by their appearance?"

"Smartphone performance is the most important thing!"

"What is the meaning of the destruction of gold and jade? If you want to do it, you can do the strongest technology, and the appearance can be completely ignored! ”

The engineers refuted Zhao Qi one after another.

"You won't forget how I earned my first pot of gold, right? Dream Workshop! Fur is all about design, craftsmanship and leather. All three of them are for good looks, comfort and class. I have a different opinion from everyone, I have never treated the phone of the dragon claw as an electronic product, I have higher requirements, it must be a craft, preferably a work of art, a luxury! Zhao Qi's position is very firm, "If the mobile phone we make is no different from other manufacturers, why should we lead the trend?" Is it just because of technology? ! ”

"But what can a mobile phone look like? Not yet a scaled-down version of a tablet? You can't go backwards and look like a flip phone a few years ago, right? Or a skateboard phone? And a physical keyboard? Jin Xiaobao asked rhetorically.

"Even Apple, which has always been known for its design, isn't it the same with their iPhone3g? Black plastic case with a metal frame. What's wrong? Wang Fatzi also said.

"Anyway, I think ignoring performance and paying attention to appearance is only a fool!" Lu Yuan was never polite to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi didn't explain much, picked up the black prototype, and asked Tang Michan: "If you were given this mobile phone, would you buy it?" ”

Tang Micicada shook his head decisively.

Lu Yuan was furious: "Why don't you buy it?" ”

Tang Mician said: "Because I already have an iPhone3G." ”

"However, our machine performance is several times better than Apple's!"

"It's good that the phone sex can be used, but it looks ugly, why should I buy it? It looks no different from other products on the market, so why buy yours? The technology is good, but the price will also be more expensive! At least, its shape and material are not worthy of its price. ”

Although Tang Michan's words were suspected of deliberately supporting her boyfriend, she was very right, her family is in electronics, so she is naturally very clear about sales.

Zhao Qi then called Tie Zhu to call Situ Longfei over, and Zhao Qi couldn't do anything about the design. Although he knew that the design of Apple's iPhone 4 next year would blind a group of people, he knew that he was a handicapped party. I can't draw it either. I had to call Situ Longfei to help.

Soon. Situ Longfei was wearing a linen dress, oh no, it was a flaxen robe that floated in ghostly, and he also brought a sketchbook and watercolor paints, which Zhao Qi asked Tie Zhu to order him.

Zhao Qi didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked Situ Long to fly away from the painting, and Zhao Qi introduced the iPhone5 in his memory to him on the side.

In fact, Zhao Qi just intended to copy Apple's future design. However, Situ's hand is not his hand, and Situ still draws crookedly. However, this is not a bad thing, Situ's talent that was decades ahead of the times shines again, and the mobile phone he drew is more technological than the iPhone 5. Zhao Qi searched the technology tree in his head and found that this shape is a bit like a certain Samsung model ten years later, but the details and foundation are still iPhone5.

In the process of Situ's painting. A bunch of engineers were swearing, of course. I also came to look at Situ's paintings. Then, slowly, they shut up, and finally, they began to admire.

"This phone is so beautiful! If there was a phone like this now, I would definitely buy it! Five or six thousand dollars is also worth it! ”

Tang Mician was the first to agree, in terms of appearance, women always care more.

"Beautiful! Pretty! ”

"Very high-tech design!"

"It looks like something out of a science fiction movie."

The engineers also began to agree, although they are aesthetically dull, but after all, they are not blind, and after a comparison, they can still distinguish between beauty and ugliness.

Zhao Qidao: "Therefore, our technology has achieved a leading position, and the appearance must also surpass the times!" Otherwise, you are not worthy of your wisdom! ”

This sentence is quite suspicious of wearing a high hat, but it undoubtedly makes the engineers listen to it very cool! They were more in favor of the new design.

After drawing a design draft, Zhao Qi was very satisfied, but Situ was not satisfied, he said, the design looks decent, but it is still a little dull.

So, he sketched a mobile phone shape on the curved back with a few blank strokes on the side, and made modifications to the product design that Zhao Qi commanded him to draw just now.

The modified mobile phone is slightly thinner at the upper and lower ends, slightly thicker in the middle, like a boat, and the back camera has been moved to the middle to make it more symmetrical. The dragon claw LOGO was also almost savagely enlarged by Situ, and the metal material was changed to a similar light-emitting type, which looked more forceful. On the front, he narrowed the bezels even further, narrowed the Home button, and expanded the screen ratio.

In the end, after Situ Longfei's design was finalized, everyone saw a more elegant and high-end artwork, and it was smaller than the original design.

"That's pretty much it, at least, it doesn't look stupid!" Situ Longfei put away his pen and said, "The mobile phone screen is 4 inches, 5.6 centimeters wide and 8.4 centimeters high. Dimensions, 6.2 cm x 11.4 cm, 1 cm thick at the thickest point, 0.7 cm at the thinnest ends. This phone can be made, right? It's not a complicated design and craftsmanship, and I'm afraid you won't be able to figure it out, or I'll kill that damn frame! ”

Zhao Qi's heart moved, could this guy be a crossing criminal? I actually thought of destroying the frame of the smartphone! However, now the bezel of this design is also narrow enough, only 0.3 cm on one side.

Now, these engineers are finally convinced, Situ is worthy of being the world's top designer, and the speed of painting is still fast. Not only did he sketch the shape of the design with a pen, but he also painted it with watercolor to make it look very realistic. Such an aesthetically pleasing product cannot be disagreed with by engineers.

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I now officially invite Mr. Situ Longfei to become the product design director of Dragon Claw Technology, do you have any comments?" ”

There was a round of applause, and it seemed that the engineers still wanted their things to look better, and they didn't care before, just because they ...... Ugly.

Situ was a little unconfident: "Kuroko, I haven't done the design of electronic products......"

Zhao Qi also understands that Situ's talent is really not low, and he can design the iPhone5 to be more elegant and beautiful, which proves that he is suitable for technology product design. So, Zhao Qi took out a killer feature and said: "To do technology product design, you don't need to care about the vision of the times, the more advanced the better!" Rambled! You design the problem in front and we think about doing it. It's your credit for designing it! If we can't do it, it's our dereliction of duty! Do you understand? ”

This point is very attractive to Situ, who always uses decades-old designs to cater to the vision of the times, so he naturally nodded in agreement. (To be continued......)
