After a week of consideration, Zhou Zhen still compromised.

Joining the rice company as a product manager of Red Rice, Zhou Zhen resisted at first.

Merely... The rice company gives too much!

That's right, it was given too many things to make Zhou Zhen compromise.

It eliminates the need for fast sound to be pre-installed on the new machine, as well as the cost of related advertising channels.

An eight-figure salary a year.

At the same time, the rice company will also increase its cooperation with Rouyu company.

This is nothing more than the superficial level.

Zhou Zhen can use the rice company to contact more upstream supply chain manufacturers, so as to achieve more cooperation.

And with the help of the influence of the rice network, increase your own prestige and get more prestige points.

Of course, the onboarding time will still have to wait until the end of the year.

Although the current rice company already has the idea of making Redrice independent, it still needs the corresponding time to make special plans.

It is expected that by the end of this year, Redmi will officially break away from the rice mobile phone to become a new brand, and replace rice to become the goalkeeper of cost performance.

"In the second half of this year, we plan to hold a corresponding product brand independent press conference, and at that time, we will release two new products in the product independent brand press conference, Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A!"

"At present, these two products are being approved, and I hope that the design of the two products, Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A, will be fully responsible for Dong Zhou."

Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A!

Zhou Zhen kept recalling the two mobile phones in his mind.

The Redmi digital series, as the entry point series of the entire rice company's mobile phone, is of great significance in the entire mobile phone market.

When the first generation of Redmi mobile phone was released, it relied on the starting price of 799 yuan, which also caused an uproar in the industry.

And it is precisely because of this product that the originally active copycat machine manufacturers have gradually begun to be lonely.

Some people say that the digital series of Redmi's mobile phones has lowered the threshold for users to use smartphones, and it is the popularizer of smartphones.

In Zhou Zhen's opinion, this sentence can only be half true.

Indeed, the digital series of Redmi phones has indeed lowered the threshold for users to buy smartphones by virtue of their ultra-low prices and correspondingly solid configurations.

But the popularizer of smartphones is still a little bit less interesting.

After all, when the Redmi mobile phone digital series was launched, it was still a golden period for the development of operators and the offline mobile phone market.

Some mobile phone brands rely on cooperation with operators, and the price of about 1,000 yuan has popularized mobile phones into the hands of many user groups.

At the same time, the blue factory and the green factory are also at this stage of the rapid development of smart phones, and they have successively opened stores offline.

The stores also cover some rural towns.

It has also made some thousand-yuan machines officially become the first consumers in these rural towns.

In general, domestic mobile phones can be completely popularized to the user group, which is the development trend of the entire mobile phone industry, and all mobile phone brands have made efforts for it.

However, the biggest credit of the Redmi mobile phone digital series is that some low-configuration copycats are beaten so that they can't take care of themselves.

It has also gradually disappeared some copycat mobile phone brands in the domestic mobile phone market.

Of course, Zhou Zhen comes from the future, and in the future, various mobile phone manufacturers will pay less and less attention to the 100-yuan machine market.

Even after the advent of the 5G network era, major mobile phone manufacturers rarely put their business in the entry-level market.

The copycat machine, which had disappeared, began to reappear on the Internet.

And the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A are two mobile phones that are also unknown in the history of the entire mobile phone industry.

Even Zhou Zhen had no news about the configuration of these two mobile phones in his mind.

The only thing that can be guessed is that the price of Redmi 6 is probably 799 yuan, and the price of Redmi 6A is probably 200 cheaper than Redmi 6.

Now Rebus asked Zhou Zhen to design Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A, in fact, he is essentially testing Zhou Zhen's strength level.

If Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A can be designed by Zhou Zheng, then Rebus can rest assured that the position of product manager of Redmi will be handed over to Zhou Zhen.

However, if the design fails, Rebus can also stop the loss in time and change the original strategy in time.

"To be honest, I'm still relatively new to low-end mobile phone design, and Lei always gave me such a task, I'm afraid he thinks too highly of me!"

"If Mr. Lei thinks of me, you might as well let me be in charge of the note series of rice."

Zhou Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then refused to Rebus with a slight tact.

After all, Zhou Zhen himself has not really devoted himself to the mobile phone manufacturing industry, so it is really difficult for Zhou Zhen to design products.

Especially for low-end products, the requirements for product managers are higher.

It is necessary to save costs and ensure the popularity of the product, which requires a very high degree of knife skills for product designers.

Zhou Zhen is more interested in high-end products.

Like the Note series and MIX series of Rice mobile phones, Zhou Zhen is more optimistic about the two major product lines that can try to impact the high-end series.

The rice note series itself is a product line born for high-end, but it's a pity that rice can't stick to this series, and finally disappears directly into history.

As for the MIX series, it belongs to the kind of high-end series with black technology innovation.

It's just a pity: Tianhu started, and one generation was not as good as the next.

"Note series?"

Rebus was also a little surprised when he heard Zhou Zhen's words, but after thinking about it carefully, Rebus felt that Zhou Zhen had the potential to make high-end products.

Since the MIX series came out, the note series is basically in a state of semi-abandonment in the rice company, and even the note3 product is designed as much as possible to refer to the rice mobile phone 6 to save costs and energy.

It's not impossible to hand over the note series to Zhou Zhen.

"I'll think about it again."

It's just that this matter still needs to be discussed by the senior management of the rice company.

It's May, too!

Juchang and Rouyu Company also officially built a new factory in Shenzhen.

Compared with the Modu headquarters, this new factory has a total of four production lines, and all four production lines can produce high-quality OLED screens made of R3 material.

Although the current yield rate is only 80%, its production capacity is enough to meet the needs of the flagship machine of the chrysanthemum factory.

According to the current production capacity of the factory's four production lines, coupled with the corresponding yield problem, a total of 30 million batches of high-quality OLED screens can be produced within one year.

And these high-quality OLED screens will be used by the chrysanthemum factory in the P series to be released in the first half of next year.

At the headquarters of Rouyu Company, Zhou Zhen looked at the interface of the technology tree and was thinking about how to develop next.

[Fame: 42.5 million!] ］

[Earnings value: 12 billion!] ］

Looking at the prestige and income value he has saved in the past six months, Zhou Zhen can't hold back in his heart.

At present, relying on the small number of digital breaking news stations has brought a lot of prestige to Zhou Zhen.

At the same time, after the cooperation of chrysanthemum factories and rice manufacturers, the income value can be said to have risen in a straight line.

And the current revenue value is only a number on the surface, after all, the screen orders placed by the current mobile phone manufacturers only pay a part of the deposit, if these orders are completed, the value of the revenue value will also rise sharply.

Fame can be exchanged for 425,000 technology points, and earnings can be exchanged for 1,200,000 technology points.

Coupled with the original interface of his own technology tree, there are 120,000 technology points left, and the number of technology points he currently has has has reached 1.745 million technology points.

1,745,000 technology points!

That's a lot of money, but it's still a bit short of the technology points needed to upgrade Lv7 from the screen panel.

"Why don't you develop another branch of the tech tree?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen silently shifted his gaze to other technology branches in the interface of the technology tree.

1.745 million technology points are enough for Zhou Zhen to master another branch of expertise.

Zhou Zhen carefully observed the interface of the technology tree.

[Electronics and integrated circuits, current level: Lv3 level!] ］

[Lv4 requires 10,000 tech points.] ］

Soon, Zhou Zhen set his sights on electronics and integrated circuits.

The name sounds a bit complicated, but to introduce this branch of expertise in a few simple words, it is the chip and motherboard design industry!

And now Zhou Zhen and the Rouyu company behind him have reached Lv3 in this regard.

Lv3 level is counted as an entry level in the tech tree.

Rouyu is a company that produces screen panels, and of course, the integrated screen display SIC chip under the screen panel is also one of the businesses of Rouyu.

The difficulty of designing the SIC chip of this screen display is not very high, and it is not a core technology.

Even the production of this chip only requires 128nm process technology to be able to produce.

The Lv3 level of the soft feather company is nothing in the entire industry, and even through the relevant query of the technology tree, the global ranking of the soft feather company in this field is only 1985.
