Chapter 60: No War in August
August Flowing Fire.
It is hotter than the weather, and it is the rapid progress of Xingchen Technology in many fields.
The newly established Display Division has a strong team of more than 300 experts, of which the proportion of senior intellectuals with a master's degree or above has reached a sensational 85 percent.
The display division is led by one of the company's two vice presidents, Dr. Enron of MIT, and Luo Jia supervises the whole process.
In addition, the company's original optical division, semiconductor division, and electrical division.
The total number of Xingchen Technology Hardware Group Army exceeded 500 for the first time, including Fang Yuanchu, Ma Chuncheng, Ling Feng, Zhang Yuechuan, Lv Chengfeng and other well-known bulls.
The software group army is also full of talents, led by Li Moran, who is known as one of the stars and stars, and has the Sky Eye Division, the Search Engine Division, the Mobile Phone Assistant Division, and a technical support department dedicated to the coordination of software and hardware.
Compared with the powerful hardware group army, the proportion of high-level intellectuals in the software group is slightly lower, accounting for about 50 percent.
After all, in addition to professional work such as system architecture and coding, there are also clerical personnel such as artists and copywriters, such as artists, undergraduates who graduated from major art academies, are already competent enough, and there is no need to recruit a group of graduate students from the art department.
The total number of employees in the software center is more than 400, and the largest business unit is mobile assistant.
After several successive expansions, the mobile phone assistant division has a total of more than 200 people, with 22 regular teams and three expert groups.
Luo Jia does not often go to the software center, but through the company's internal encrypted email system, he keeps in touch with Li Moran in real time and solves any problems encountered in the software center at any time.
After all, the operating system project is so important, and Luo Jia hopes that the software department will stay away from the attention of the technology circle.
Although Xingchen Technology, as an invisible overlord, is not the kind of company that is widely known to the society, there are countless pairs of eyes in the technology circle, staring at them all the time.
If there is nothing special, Luo Jia will go to show the report of the business department every day.
The Display Division has as many as six project groups, Hybrid Materials Group, Driver IC Group, Glass Substrate Group, Color Filter Group, and Scientific Production Optimization Group.
Even more difficult, because the company did not have enough large-scale laboratories and experimental equipment, the six project groups worked in five locations.
In addition to the headquarters, Jiaotong University, Fudan University, and Huawei 2012 Laboratory all have project teams and experimental groups of Xingchen Technology.
I have to say that Sha Zhan, Gong Xiangdong, Gu Pengdong, these three old friends really helped Luo Jia a lot.
Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong were responsible for contacting the university laboratory, and Gong Xiangdong lent part of the area and equipment of the 2012 laboratory to Luo Jia after obtaining the consent of Mr. Ren.
The most ridiculous is the scientific production optimization group, because the mission of this team is to improve the exposure machine and other equipment on the production line, so their office is located in the Kunshan factory, and Luo Jia often runs to Kunshan.
Perhaps, it is only after leaving school and going to work that people will miss their leisure time as a student.
When she was in school, Luo Jia always felt that school was boring, and hoped to go into society as soon as possible and do something big.
However, when he really started his business, he found that those carefree campus life, the days of fighting in games with his dormitory brothers, and those wasted youth were actually indispensable and valuable experiences in life.
Confused.
But who is not confused about their youth?
All in all, Luo Jia is now miserable and happy.
And Xingchen Technology, which once set off one storm after another in the science and technology circle, also seems to have suddenly fallen silent.
Those tech enthusiasts who expect Luo Jia to bring another August storm are probably going to be disappointed.
For Luo Jia and his company, there is no war in August, only focus and hard work.
Xingchen Technology has entered a silent stage of R&D, but in the mobile phone market, the last seven giant companies have begun their final madness.
This August is not destined to be peaceful.
Since August 1, Samsung. The Apple Alliance, and the alliance of the four domestic giants, new mobile phones were born at the same time, and the flames of war burned again, becoming the most eye-catching focus in the world.
What Samsung and Apple brought was an epoch-making 4,000-resolution screen and an innovative foldable phone.
Luo Jia bought a prototype from a scalper channel for careful analysis at the first time.
I have to say that the R&D and workmanship standards of the two industry hegemons are indeed superb.
The 4,000 ultra-high-resolution screen brings users an unprecedented visual feast, and in the high-definition images, the actress's hair is clearly visible, and even the golden hairs on the arms can be seen clearly.
OLED screens have the advantage of bright colors, and now they have been fully utilized, with super resolution and super color, with high brightness of up to 500 nits, so that human vision can be fully satisfied.
The innovative folding mobile phone, which takes advantage of the flexible and bendable characteristics of the OLED screen, creates an amazing effect of a tablet computer and a mobile phone in one fell swoop.
The foldable phone comes with two screens, and when folded, it is about five inches in size, making it easy to fit in your pocket.
After the folding phone is opened, it is a 7.6-inch tablet computer, which can have a larger visual area when watching movies, and can even undertake some simple office needs, such as writing office documents, doing preliminary image processing, and so on.
If you connect a keyboard and mouse, it can be used as a portable productivity tool.
For a while, technology enthusiasts and consumers around the world cheered, and Samsung and Apple also announced in a high-profile manner that their mobile phones can completely replace tablets and even laptops.
In the future, everyone who studies and works only needs a mobile phone to be competent.
While boasting ultra-high performance, Samsung and Apple have also exposed some weaknesses.
The 4,000-level ultra-high-resolution screen brings a serious increase in power consumption.
According to the actual test of major bloggers in the science and technology circle, in the case of playing high-definition movies in full screen, it will lead to power exhaustion in just two hours and twenty minutes, and it will be forced to enter the power-saving mode.
As for folding phones, the lack of power is also a big trouble, and in addition, in the case of continuous folding of the screen, whether there will be color distortion, or even damage to part of the display area, still needs time to check.
In terms of the big four domestic manufacturers, the under-screen fingerprint technology and wireless charging technology amazed the whole world as soon as they appeared!
There are no notches on the front, just a crystal perfect screen, like a work of art displayed in a museum.
The epoch-making revolutionary technology, energy wave wireless charging, has finally gotten rid of the trouble of power cords for mobile phones, and people can enjoy the convenience of wireless in the living room and in the bathtub.
Moreover, due to the use of power-saving 1080P screen, coupled with convenient wireless charging technology, there is no power problem at all, and you can use it as long as you want.
Technology bloggers with a large number of fans have exclaimed that the era of mobile phone wireless has finally arrived, in addition to the screen resolution, the mobile phone of the Big Four is currently the most perfect mobile phone in the world!
That's not the scariest part, though.
The new products are on the market, and the four domestic giants have offered their best killer features at the same time.
Price!
The low-profile version is two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan!
The high-end version is 3,999 yuan!
The top version is 4,999 yuan!
When the prices of the Big Four were announced, the world went into a frenzy!
This is not a price war at all, but a price massacre launched by the Big Four against Samsung and Apple!
You must know that the retail prices of Samsung and Apple's 4,000-resolution mobile phones have all exceeded 10,000.
The folding mobile phone is unprecedented, reaching the price range of 20,000 yuan.
Don't need 10,000, not 20,000, the minimum is only 3,000 yuan, you can have a full screen, a rear ultra-clear top camera, a front innovative under-screen camera, a mobile phone assistant second generation, and a super mobile phone that triggers the wireless revolution of energy wave charging technology!
What will consumers choose?
Of course, it is directly bought!
Starting from the first day of August, this long-planned and extremely crazy massacre by the Big Four and Xingchen Technology will be launched at the same time in every market in the world!
For the first time ever, there was a queue of the Big Four stores around the world three days in advance, and on the day of the launch, the queue even meandered through several street corners!
In the high-priced range of top-of-the-line phones, Samsung and Apple do dominate the market.
However, the top market has limited capacity, accounting for less than 10% of the world's total.
All the remaining markets were washed all the way by the four domestic giants with a devastating offensive!
The president of Huawei's consumer business unit, the famous Yu Dazui, was dismissive of the claim in a television interview.
"The few percent at the top of the market, Samsung and Apple take it, but the rest of the market is all ours!"
