Chapter 890: Tech nerds are easier to coax
readx;
Lin Zheng snorted: "Ah what, how much is this?" Don't look at how many business users of ICQ are there now? For those business users, the full keyboard ICQ mobile phone is their best choice for mobile office, now there is only our full keyboard ICQ mobile phone on the market to choose from, who do you say these business users will choose? â
Jim. Bales patted his head with force, frustrated. Pen Ă fun Ă Pavilion www. ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ ă ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝
Business users are a major user group of ICQ, and countless business people have become accustomed to using ICQ to achieve docking office in business trips, homes and offices, but the problem is that this way of matching is not seamless, and they are eager to have a tool that allows them to receive ICQ information from companies, colleagues, and partners anytime and anywhere, but no electronic product can meet the needs of these users before the launch of ICQ mobile phones.
When ICQ said it would launch a mobile phone equipped with the ICQ mobile app, the most enthusiastic response in the whole market was not the group of students who have several accounts in one person, but these business people who need to travel a lot and fly around the world.
Conservative estimates put this group in the millions as well.
A market with millions of potential users, f⌠you only have 100,000 ICQ phones that are clearly for commercial use? That's not how the joke goes!
Jim. Bellsley is even now sure that an additional 500,000 units, even if another 1 million units are added, it will not meet the market demand, even if other companies' products are filled!
If it weren't for the boss's reminder, I almost missed out on such a big market!
If you really missed it. Jim. Bellsley simply couldn't forgive himself.
"Boss, I know what to do!" Jim. Bellsley nodded viciously. Turning his head and walking out: "I'm going to talk to the foundry......
Jim. Bellsley left in a hurry, and Lin Zheng looked at Hines, who had not spoken much. After a while, he nodded: "Hines, as the CTO of RIM, I'm curious, which direction do you think the next generation of mobile ICQ should go?" â
Lin Zheng was quite impressed by Hines's technical level, according to Jim. Bellsley said that if there was no Hines, the ICQ version of the RimBlackberry and RIM850 would have been launched for at least half a year, but Hines shortened this time by half a year, which shows the technical strength of this guy.
But only technology can be regarded as a technology contractor at best. Lin Zheng hopes that Hines can really take on the role of CTO, and ICQ is undoubtedly the most important part of Lin Zheng's plan.
"Ahem......" Hines coughed lightly, and then said unhurriedly: "Boss, I communicated with the CTO of ICQ before, and I know that you are going to add ICQmusicplayer to the mobile version of ICQ, and you are also preparing to add JA&VA functions and storage capacity expansion functions to the mobile phone,"
"Yes, there is such a thing." Lin Zheng nodded with interest. He could see that Hines really seemed to have some ideas of his own.
"You want to turn your phone into a social interaction with friends and a leisure and entertainment terminal where you can listen to songs, rather than a communication tool," Hines pointed out Lin Zheng's thoughts pointedly: "These ideas are very good. But I'm curious, since you've talked to telecom operators about traffic packages, why haven't you turned your phone into a terminal for getting information? â
Lin Zheng's eyes lit up. He smiled and asked, "You mean to integrate the Internet function on your phone?" â
"So you've thought of that?" Hines was stunned for a moment, then nodded with relief: "Yes." I should have guessed this a long time ago, you can turn your phone into a social communication terminal in the palm of your hand, a leisure and entertainment terminal. It is certainly possible to imagine turning the mobile phone into a terminal for information acquisition at the same time...... The reason why we didn't do this is because the current level of technology is not mature, right? â
"There are factors at this level," Lin Zheng nodded, and did not shy away from Hines's question: "Since you are the chief technology officer of RIM, you should know that under the current technical conditions, neither the software level nor the hardware level can meet my requirements, and we still have a lot of work to do......"
"That's why you're talking to me about this?" Hines suddenly interrupted Lin Zheng's words, and looked at Lin Zheng with blazing eyes: "You want me to participate in this project?" â
Hynes was excited, but also, for a technician, being involved in the project was enough to excite him that he didn't even know his mother.
"Yes...... idea"
But Lin Zheng obviously still underestimated the stimulation and temptation of this job for a technical nerd, and before Lin Zheng could finish speaking, Hines stood up suddenly, looked at Lin Zheng with an eager face and said, "Boss, you say, what do you need me to do?" I'm good at software, oh, and the IC design is okay too......"
"Don't worry," Lin Zheng looked at this excited guy with a smile, "Hines, you have to know that the development of technology should be gradual, right?" â
This is nonsense, even if you have the 2.0 version of the technology now, the first to the market must be 1.0, then 1.1, 1.2, 1.3...... The last is 2.0, when you really launch the 2.0 version of the technology to the market, maybe you even 3.0 version of the technology have been researched for half a year, only in this way can you maximize profits, this is the practice that any technology-based company will choose, Hines has no objection to his boss's choice: "I understand, my idea is indeed a little inappropriate...... Do you mean that the next generation of ICQ phones will integrate the ICQmusicPlayer feature? â
"Yes, but I don't want to have an expansion function, well, just a built-in 32M internal memory chip."
But Hines had a look of embarrassment on his face: "But boss, if we want to transplant the MP3 playback function to the mobile phone, we still need to do a lot of work...... We don't have that kind of technical accumulation......"
"Do you know about Saehan in Korea?" Lin Zheng suddenly interrupted Hines and asked.
"Saehan? I know," Hines nodded, "It is the first company in the world to launch an MP3 player......" Speaking of this, Hines suddenly looked at Lin Zheng with a frightened face: "Boss, don't tell me that Saehan Company is your company." â
"Of course not," Lin Zheng shook his head with a smile, "Do you think your boss is a god who can keenly grasp every detail of the electronic market?" â
"That's good, that's good......" Hines breathed a sigh of relief, and squeezed his chest twice, after analyzing the boss's industry, Hines has been frightened by his boss's keen eyes in the electronics industry, although the boss said that Saehan's company is his company, he will not feel strange, but that is too ...... God, right?
It's a pity that he was happy too early, and only listened to Lin Zheng say slowly: "However, the level of attention that Saehan company attaches to MP3 products is not enough, so I poached Mr. Moon, their MP3 chief designer, from Saehan Company......"
"Knock ......"
Hines sat down on the ground and looked at his boss with a tearless face: Boss, don't you pant in the future?
Trouble, Hines's smart brain still reacted at the first time The boss poached people from Saehan's company The benefits of ICQ: This means that the boss can transplant the MP3 playback function to the mobile phone in the shortest possible time...... Wait for a mess of electronic products with a lot of ah, as long as you bring a mobile phone, all leisure and entertainment products are done!
Is...... It's exciting to think about.
"So we'll be able to integrate music playback into our phones soon?" Hines asked Lin Zheng excitedly.
"That's right," Lin Zheng nodded: "But the question now is, we're having a little trouble transplanting the technology to the mobile phone?" â
"Got a little trouble? What's the trouble? Hines asked hurriedly.
"......" Lin Zheng looked at Hines with a smile and did not speak: At this time, do you think I will tell you such an important matter?
Fortunately, Hines's reaction was not slow, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately raised his hand: "Boss, I want to participate in this project, since RIM's mobile phone has to have ICQ function, it is natural that ICQmusicplayer must also be installed." â
Is this right, Lin Zheng looked at Hines and nodded with satisfaction: "Go back and report to ICQ for two days of rest, I will leave a seat for you." â
Got a seat? Hines immediately understood what the boss meant, and bowed to Lin Zheng gratefully: "Boss, rest you." â
"You're welcome," Boss Lin smiled happily: "You did a good job of RIM, I hope you continue to work hard, Hines, it's up to you to RIM next." â
"Hmm!" The technical nerd is easier to coax, and Hines, who was obviously fooled by Lin Zheng, blushed with excitement, and nodded vigorously: "Boss, don't worry, I will not let you down." â
"Hehehe......" (To be continued.) )
