Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Fighter in a Copycat
Kuroko didn't help him find a way right away, but asked, "Why did you think to ask me?" ”
Jin Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and said a little shyly: "Hey! Because I see that when you run DreamWorks Fur, you are very prescient, and when you run a battery factory, you are very sure of the direction of technological development. So, I thought if you didn't approve of my dad making mobile phones, you might be able to help me! ”
Kuroko nodded, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and a bold idea appeared.
"Hey! You must have a way to do it, right? Speak it up and listen to it! ”
Jin Xiaobao saw a glimmer of light in Heizi's eyes, and knew that he had an idea. Although Jin Xiaobao doesn't look like Jin Ingot's biological son, the way he speaks is the same as that of Jin Ingot.
"Hah! Drink tea and drink tea! Eagle tea picked from the mountains, authentic soaked rotten leaves......" Jin Yuan Bao walked in with a teapot, poured tea for the two, and was glared at by his son and shut up decisively.
Jin Xiaobao looked at Kuroko again.
Intellectually, he didn't want to believe that this guy, who was four years younger than him, knew more about technology than him, but he was full of hope for Kuroko because of his previous performance in Paris and his amazing tricks against the Wu family.
Kuroko began to rub his chin again, lost in thought.
Jin Xiaobao didn't speak, picked up the tea and took two sips, and instructed Jin Yuan to light a cigarette for the sunspot. The gold ingots jumped up and down, very diligent.
Spit out a smoke ring, Kuroko finally cleared his thoughts, and he gave this bold idea that suddenly appeared with an even bolder plan.
Heizi took out his newly bought Apple phone and handed it to Jin Xiaobao.
Jin Xiaobao took it puzzled, looked at it, and said, "Hey! What do you mean? iPhone 3g, launched in June. What's wrong? ”
Kuroko smiled: "What do you think of this phone?" ”
"Hey! Looking at it now, there are many shortcomings, but in two years, the feature phone of the Symbian system can be squeezed off the altar, which is why I don't approve of making copycat phones now. ”
"So can you copy this phone now?"
"Hey! No! I thought about it, but the technology gap is too big, and besides, Apple's system is closed and no one else can use it! However, last year, Google launched the Android system for free, in September this year Google launched the first version of Android, and last month, a foreign manufacturer launched the first Android phone. However, compared to Apple's system, Android is now much more primitive. But this is a new technology, which is not something that our small factory can eat, and it is reluctant to make it, and it is also different. ”
"Then if we don't think about size, if we don't think about weight, if we don't think about screen resolution, if we don't even think about cost. How sure are you? ”
"Hey! This is a problem with copycat technology, if you use Android, I think you can take it in three or four months. However, many of our technical links are too far behind the world's top technology, and the things we make must be big and stupid. ”
"It's okay to be bigger! Hey......" Kuroko laughed.
"Hey? You say we make Android phones? Now the cost of technology is too high, and even foreign mobile phone companies have not yet transformed! It's too early! ”
"The early bird gets the worm! However, I'm not asking you to make smartphones. ”
"Hey! What is that? Let's talk about the problem of the reader! ”
Jin Xiaobao couldn't keep up with the sunspot's train of thought, didn't he discuss the issue of point readers? How did you jump to your phone? In fact, Jin Xiaobao is also optimistic about smart phones, but as he said, the threshold for entry is too high now, so it is better to make a learning machine to accumulate capital and technology, and wait for two years before going on.
"Then let's talk about the point reader, this kind of point reader, in fact, has come to an end. At the current level of technology, it should be outdated! If you still follow its path, you can only make a lot of effort and make a small amount of money. You have to have more ideas and advantages than it to take the initiative! Even if it is a copycat, it must be a fighter in a copycat! "Kuroko is half analytical, half demagoguery.
The fighter in the copycat is even more bullish than the original, which is very uplifting, and Jin Xiaobao is also very longing, but he also knows that it is difficult.
"Hey! In terms of technology, the point reader is indeed not very technical, but what else can the point reader do if it does not do this? Jin Xiaobao is a genius, but the environment in which he lived and grew up made him develop the habit of learning and delving into other people's skills, but he rarely thought about how to innovate and how to surpass.
To be precise, Jin Xiaobao has always been a catch-up, and most of the people in China who are engaged in technology are catch-ups. In fact, this is not a problem of technology, but a problem of the relationship between ideology and technology, the concept of catching up is lagging behind technology, and the concept of the leader is far beyond the existing technology.
Kuroko only knows a little about technology, but he has a bizarre future technology tree, so he can be a leader.
"Think about it, what if we make a point reader that doesn't need a book or a pen, but only needs a machine, it can realize the function of a point reader, and it also comes with many functions that the point reader doesn't have?" Kuroko continues to tempt.
"Hey! How do you read without a book? Jin Xiaobao said strangely.
"What if there was a display about the size of a book that could show the contents of each page? Isn't it more convenient to store the book in the learning machine in the form of pictures according to the original layout, and then correspond to different sounds in different pages and areas than if you get the parameters and coordinates of each book into the machine? The latter needs to be manually measured and entered, and the former only needs to go to the publisher to get the initial typesetting file! Kuroko explained.
"Hey! It's a new path! However, how can you order without a pen? We will first make a reading machine for early childhood education, and then we will make a reading pen for middle and high school students. Jin Xiaobao nodded, but was puzzled. He didn't know that what Kuroko instilled in him was actually the knowledge of the future tablet.
"Just point with your finger." Kuroko said that he actually only knew a little about the reading machine and the reading pen, but he knew that the reading machine was only suitable for young children and elementary school students, and although the reading pen was more advanced, it was only suitable for supporting textbooks.
"Hey? Finger? Fingers don't recognize coordinates! Jin Xiaobao shook his head.
"Fingers can't recognize coordinates, touch screen can! And, of course, a stylus! Kuroko took out his iPhone again.
Jin Xiaobao instantly understood, he understood what the sunspot meant: "Hey! When did you ask me to make a big, can't make phone calls, and the performance can also be very mediocre? Textbooks are built into the learning machine in the form of pictures, and you can click on them with your fingers? ”
Heizi didn't deliberately say so verbose, but he just wanted to take it step by step, so that Jin Xiaobao himself understood the advantages of tablets over traditional reading methods. Moreover, Kuroko knows that when Android tablets and mobile phones are overwhelming in two years, these manufacturers of learning machines will flock to change tablets into so-called learning machines, and abandon the original point reader technology.
Kuroko said: "We can build a lot of materials into the machine, whether it is textbooks or teaching materials!" The most crucial point is that we can develop the game ......"
"Hey? Game? The game doesn't work! It's a learning machine......"
"Edutainment! If children can learn English in games, learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, do you think parents will reject it? For example, in the first level, you need to know addition and subtraction within 10 to clear the level, in the second level, you need to know addition and subtraction within 100, and in the third level, multiplication ......"
"Hey...... I didn't think of this solution! Jin Xiaobao slapped the thigh of the gold ingot, and the gold ingot screamed in pain.
"In addition, we can also make a special store in the learning machine, and cooperate with Huanggang and other teaching and auxiliary experts, so that they can launch electronic versions of teaching materials, and we will sell them a commission. As long as you buy our learning machine, when your child grows up to a year old, you can go to our point of sale to update the textbooks for the next school year for free, you can also buy electronic teaching materials, and you can also download more learning games. ”
"Good! Good! Good! This is good! It's equivalent to a lifetime of use! You can also use it for two children of different ages in turn! Jin Xiaobao was obviously excited by the sunspot, this time he didn't say hey, he slapped his father's thigh again, and his hand was vicious, "But, I haven't done this touch technology!" ”
"You think it's too complicated! You don't need a lot of precise touch technology, just like the touchpad of a laptop. All we have to do is enlarge the touch screen and spread it on top of the screen. In this way, it looks as if it is pressed directly on the screen, in fact, there is a layer of capacitive screen on top of the screen. Kuroko said.
"Hey! I'm confused, yes, the touch technique is not particularly difficult! Jin Xiaobao came back to his senses.
Then, Jin Xiaobao and Heizi discussed some details, and Jin Xiaobao admired the strange but extremely original and novel ideas of sunspots, but he didn't know that Heizi was now in a state of hanging. Heizi used the black technology tree in his head to fool Jin Xiaobao, and Jin Xiaobao also found that this was the future of the learning machine, and he was a little eager to try.
"One question, will it cost a lot?"
Kuroko doesn't know much about this, after all, he has no contact with the electronics industry.
"Hey! I do the math. The cost of the screen is not low, but it is not too high, it is almost half a netbook screen, nothing special, we can produce it ourselves. The cost of capacitive touch screen is a little higher, and you can find a few manufacturers in Lingnan who produce touch pads for Japanese notebook manufacturers, and the price is not much. Then, the biggest head is the internal core technology, from these functions, the CPU performance to be used does not have to be too good...... "Jin Xiaobao took the pen, calculated on the back of the original design drawings, and finally concluded, "Not counting the investment in early development, the cost of a product is almost close to two thousand yuan." In fact, this is mainly due to the fact that our technology is not in place, and there is no way to reduce costs. ”
"Too high? We have to sell at least three thousand, if not more, to make money! Kuroko frowned, the cost is almost catching up with the cost of a netbook.
"Hey! Not high! If it can be controlled within 2,000, it is not high at all! You don't know, the current point reader sells for almost 2,000 yuan! If we can achieve this, we don't know how many times better than the point reader cow! It's twice as expensive, and some people buy it! Jin Xiaobao said.
"Really?" Kuroko is unsure of the tunnel.
"Hey! What are you lying to you, why do you say I want to make a learning machine? Isn't it just that the child's money is easy to earn? Today's parents, as long as they buy things for their children, are willing to pay as much as they want! Jin Xiaobao said firmly, "Moreover, we can make this product without making money, as long as we understand the technology thoroughly, the next step, we can make smart phones!" ”
"Hehe......" Kuroko smiled, Jin Xiaobao still saw the purpose behind this, this is a good thing, since they are willing to make tablets. Then, the sunspot is about to start thinking about himself, this is not the time to ask for face, "Xiaobao, let's not talk darkly, I have been giving you advice for so long, can't it be free!" ”
Jin Xiaobao was stunned, knowing what the sunspot meant, but he didn't know how to answer.
But the gold ingots understand the world: "Ha! Of course! If you have money, how do you want to cooperate? Do you want to buy shares? ”
