Chapter 359: Attacking Foxconn
"Hey, why is there no one in this office, where did this kid Chen Jie go.....
In the corridor outside the office, there was a sudden sound of brisk talking, and Director Zhang strode over, followed by a middle-aged man of the same age, who was looking around at the surrounding environment.
Chen Weidong heard the movement outside, and immediately got up and walked outside, and at the same time opened the door of the office.
"Xiao Chen, are you two here? Let me introduce you to you, this is Director Li, who just came from Hulan last month, and he is in charge of ......" As soon as Director Zhang walked to the door of Chen Weidong's office, he began to introduce him to the middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man's eyes were like torches, he looked Chen Weidong up and down, and then laughed and said: "Haha, you are the president of Infinity Company, Chen Weidong and Mr. Chen, right?" Sure enough, he is young and promising! ”
"And this one, it's Miss Li, she is really born beautiful, and she and Boss Chen are a pair of beautiful people!"
Li Xi'er smiled, generously stretched out her hand, and shook hands with him.
Chen Weidong also smiled and stretched out his hand and greeted: "In such a hot weather, the two leaders come in and sit down, it's really annoying for you to run." ”
South China has a subtropical climate, and now in September, the temperature is about 35 degrees every day.
"That, Xiao Chen, Director Li and I, after listening to what you said, we were so excited that we didn't have the heart to have a meeting, tell us quickly, what kind of project is it?" As soon as Director Zhang sat down on the sofa, he couldn't help asking.
Don't look at the big age difference between the two, there are few people who can call Chen Weidong "Xiao Chen" now.
With the rise of the behemoth of Infinity Company, Chen Weidong's status is growing day by day, "Mr. Chen" is his main title, and "Mr. Chen" is the name of international friends.
As an elder, there are only a few people who can call Chen Weidong "Xiao Chen" "Xiao Chen".
The two went from acquaintance, to intimate cooperation, and then to disagreement, from which they mediated and cooperated......
In the past six or seven years, the relationship between the two has been complicated, sometimes they are like a family, sometimes they are clearly defined, but it is undeniable that Director Zhang has indeed given Infinity Company a lot of support.
At the same time, he also created a very good business environment for private enterprises.
This is also an important factor in the rapid economic development of South China.
Chen Weidong didn't sell it, he took two more prototypes of smart phones from the desk, handed them to Director Zhang and the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "This is our company's latest product, you can take a look." ”
"We are confident that within the next ten years, we will completely replace the functional phones on the market today."
"Huh? Such a delicate thing, it turned out to be a mobile phone? Why is there not a single button on it, how do you do this? Director Zhang and the middle-aged man both widened their eyes, carefully held it, kept flipping and looking, and only found three raised buttons on the side.
"Hehe, this is a smart phone, which is different from a traditional mobile phone, and all its operations are done by touching this OLED screen."
Chen Weidong held a prototype and demonstrated it in front of the two of them.
Now these prototypes, there are not many software installed on them, in addition to the basic mobile phone functions, there are also several mini-games for internal testing, and their operation methods are very simple.
For example, Chen Weidong clicked on a small game called fruit cutting.
As you play, a variety of fruits will appear on the screen falling from top to bottom.
At the same time, the player needs to swipe the screen with agility to chop it, if the hand speed is too slow, some fruits will be missed, and the more fruit each piece of fruit is broken, the more points the player will get.
"It's about multi-touch technology..."
Chen Weidong explained the operation method while expanding the topic.
As a reborn, no one knows the future market trends better than him.
Next, he focused on the economic value that the application software on the smartphone will generate.
Because one of the biggest features of smartphones is that they can install third-party apps.
These apps can offer a wide variety of features, such as games, maps, entertainment, navigation, news, weather forecasts, and more.
With these apps, the capabilities of smartphones will be greatly expanded, so that mobile phones are no longer limited to a single "communication".
Including the software department of Infinity, it will also transplant some PC software on the computer to the mobile phone in the future, and when the time comes, such as instant messaging, word processing, online shopping, etc., can be carried out through the mobile phone.
In a way, a smartphone is more like a desktop microcomputer....
Director Zhang and the middle-aged man were fascinated by what they heard.
In the past, they could never have imagined that a small mobile phone, in addition to calling and texting, could actually derive such a large economic market, which is incredible!
Both of them are from science backgrounds, so it is natural to see that what Chen Weidong said is very likely to be realized.
In addition, they also saw that this smartphone integrates core technologies in many high-tech fields such as communications, chips, advanced manufacturing, information technology, data security, and artificial intelligence.
These are the key areas for the future of the world.
"According to you, this industry is indeed not small, the world's major mobile phone manufacturers, the total annual shipments are about 500 million-800 million units, even if you only eat half of the market, it is unimaginable!"
Director Zhang and the middle-aged man only thought about it a little and calculated the huge economic benefits.
After Chen Weidong's explanation, including personally experiencing the powerful performance of this mobile phone, they have no doubt that once this mobile phone is listed, it will have a great impact on the original mobile phone market.
Director Zhang himself used a Nokia 3220 mobile phone, and he felt pretty good some time ago, but now compared with the smartphone of Infinity, it is simply too backward.
No one can resist the temptation of high-tech products.
But as a city planner, he can't use simple technical thinking to measure the game of market economy.
At present, the largest manufacturing factory in South China is Foxconn, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Group.
More than 200,000 front-line employees are employed.
They mainly help HP, Dell, Nokia, Motorola and other companies to engage in the production of components, modules and the assembly of finished products of 3C products.
This smartphone from Infinity has an impact on the mobile phone market no less than a revolution, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a devastating blow to the three giants of mobile phones.
At that time, Foxconn will inevitably be affected, with a large number of layoffs, unemployment, and other issues, which need to be considered.....

Seeing that they all suddenly stopped talking, and there was an intriguing expression on his face, Chen Weidong probably guessed what they were worried about, he took a sip of tea and asked:
"What is the basic salary and total income of an ordinary employee of Foxconn for a month?"
