It didn't take long for News Corp's intention to acquire MySpace to reach Zhao Ye's ears.

Hearing this news, Zhao Ye smiled meaningfully, to be honest, if News Corp hadn't acquired the MySpace website, then the MySpace website would still be relatively difficult to deal with.

News Corp. doesn't understand the Internet, and their acquisition of MySpace will only make it worse. Moreover, News Corp spent so much money to acquire the MySpace website, of course, hoping that the MySpace website could be monetized as soon as possible, but it did not know that this was behind the damage to the platform's user experience and ability to continue to invest.

Zhao Ye is quite looking forward to News Corp.'s acquisition of MySpace, so he doesn't have to worry about MySpace surpassing Facebook.

iPhone Smartphone Research Building.

Zhao Ye came here in the morning, and now it is 2002, so he must prepare in advance to promote the development of the mobile Internet.

The 3G network has already been successfully developed, but it has not yet laid a large area of base stations.

Before the launch of the 3G network, Wujiang Group also needed to develop a smartphone.

The main components of a complete smartphone include various chips, screens, ROMs, RAM, camera sensors, batteries, shells, circuit boards, various screws, connectors, speakers, NFC, sensors, electronic motors, and so on.

Basically, these products can be domestically produced.

For non-core products, Wujiang Group can be handed over to domestic product suppliers.

Wujiang Group is mainly responsible for smartphone operating systems, processors, screens, ROMs, RAM, batteries, various sensors, etc.

"Touchscreen technology has been around for a long time, in the 70s of the 20th century, banks used touch screen technology in ATMs, but it was only a single touch. At present, our R&D team has broken through the multi-touch screen technology, and is one step closer to developing a smart phone! Wu Huahan, the person in charge of iPhone development, took Zhao Dong to visit the scientific research building and introduced.

"In terms of processor, Loongson's latest design and development of [Kirin Pentium 5] is very powerful, and the iPhone5 is equipped with this processor, no matter what software is running, it will be very fast!"

"The operating system of iPhone5 is still the HarmonyOS ......"

"Frankly speaking, the biggest feature of the iPhone 5 smartphone is that the keyboard has been removed and replaced with a multi-touch screen!"

Speaking of which, Wu Huahan not only admired Zhao Ye's foresight.

From the very beginning, the iPhone series of mobile phones has been rushing to smartphones.

From operating systems to processor technology, camera technology, battery technology, screen technology, ...... In the end, it just changed the use of the screen, and it opened up a new era!

Everyone knows very well what kind of wave will be set off when the smartphone iPhone 5 is released!

A mobile phone changing people's lives is not an empty phrase.

"Professor Wu Huahan, is the glass toughness of the iPhone 5 enough? You can't just drop it casually, and the screen will break, which will seriously affect the sales of mobile phones. Zhao Ye asked.

Wu Huahan said confidently: "We jointly developed the 'Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass' with Zeiss company is extremely tough, and it is no polite to say that the basalt tempered Kunlun glass is the toughest glass in the world at present, as long as the mobile phone is not strong enough, it will still be intact!" ”

After saying that, Wu Huahan asked people to bring a prototype of an iPhone5, and then pretended to fall off the edge of the desk inadvertently.

Bang!

The phone hit the ground.

Mr. Wu then bent down to pick up his phone.

"Zhao Dong, look, the phone screen is still not broken!" Wu Huahan smiled.

Zhao Ye visually measured the height of the desk, which was almost flush with the position of ordinary people's trouser pockets, if the mobile phone accidentally fell out of the trouser pocket, then it would not be broken under normal circumstances.

Wu Huahan pointed to the screen and introduced: "In addition, we have also added some special nanocrystalline particles to the glass, so that the strength and wear resistance of basalt tempered Kunlun glass have been significantly improved!" ”

"Well, that's good!" Zhao Ye bowed his head slightly and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's take a look at the battery again!" ”

"Okay, Zhao Dong, please go this way, because the screen of the smartphone is very large, it consumes more power, and the ordinary lithium battery on the market can no longer meet our requirements, so we choose to cooperate with Wujiang Battery Company in depth, and let them develop customized batteries for our iPhone smartphones!" Wu Huahan answered, took Zhao Ye to a test table, and took out a battery from it.

It's true that the battery is as big as the phone.

Zhao Ye took the rectangular battery from Wu Huahan's hand, held it on his mobile phone and observed, only to feel that the weight was quite heavy, and he expected that the energy density of this battery was very high.

"Professor Wu Warren, how long does this battery last?" Zhao Ye asked.

Wu Huahan sighed slightly: "If you are on standby, it will take about 30 hours." But if you keep watching the video, you will run out of power after 3 hours at most. ”

The standby time of the feature phone is very long, and the normal use time is also very long.

However, Zhao Ye was used to the fact that the smartphone could only be used for a few hours in his previous life, so he could accept what Wu Huahan just said.

"If you play with your phone and charge it at the same time, is the safety and stability of the battery sufficient?" Zhao Ye opened his mouth to ask, this is very important, most smartphone users at home are charging while playing with their mobile phones.

In the previous life, Samsung's mobile phone sales led the world, and later a Samsung "bomb machine" came out, which frightened many users. When people mention Samsung later, they think of the explosion of Samsung mobile phones, and who would dare to buy Samsung mobile phones.

"The security and stability are excellent! But ......," Wu said with a firm face, they have repeatedly tested the battery, and basically nothing has happened.

"Wujiang Battery is developing a new type of lithium-ion battery, using graphite carbon anode to replace the original metal lithium anode, which can be called a 'revolutionary breakthrough in lithium-ion batteries'. The use of carbon anodes can reduce the weight and cost of the battery, while improving the safety and cycle life of the battery. In the future, the application scope of lithium batteries will be further expanded, which can be extended to electric vehicles, energy storage systems, aerospace and other fields......"

"Wujiang Battery Company plans to name this battery "Raytheon Battery", and I thought to myself, if the iPhone 5 can be paired with "Raytheon Battery", it will definitely improve the user experience of the smartphone!"

iPhone5 is an epoch-making product, and Wu Huahan still hopes to make it perfect.

The "Thor Battery" can at least double the battery capacity, and it will not run out of power for six hours of online movie-watching, which is enough for office workers to use during the day and recharge at home.

Zhao Ye smiled when he heard this, "No problem, of course we want to present the best things to consumers!" Moreover, the 3G network has not yet been rolled out, and the release of the iPhone 5 so early does not work very well. ”

This morning, Zhao Ye was in the R&D department of the iPhone, and he already had a very detailed understanding of the development progress of the iPhone5.

By next year, in 2003, after the 3G network is rolled out, the iPhone 5 smartphone can be produced.

There's a lot to do before that.

Not only smartphones, but also a software ecosystem, including a variety of apps.

By noon, Zhao Ye was already hungry, so he ate directly in the canteen of the iPhone Research Building.

In terms of food, needless to say. The canteen opened by Wujiang Group is better than the food in many restaurants, including Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Suzhou cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine and other Chinese cuisines, as well as Russian specialties, French cuisine, Italian cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Indian cuisine......

There are so many dishes that it's just dizzying.

The key is that the employees of Wujiang Group come to the canteen to eat, and all of them are free.

Buffet-style, you can eat whatever you want, just don't waste it.

As long as I have come to the canteen of Wujiang Group once, I can't help but make a voice of envy.

This welfare is really the envy of others.

At this time, while eating, Zhao Ye pondered whether it was too early to start the era of mobile Internet in 2003.

Apple's iPhone 4 smartphone won't be released until 2010.

However, the smartphone technology in my own reserve has matured......

Zhao Ye then thought about whether the launch of a smartphone by Wujiang Group would be able to form a patent barrier in technology, making it difficult for competitors to shake their position.

Zhao Ye thought about it for a long time, and before he knew it, his lunch had already been eaten.

He then said goodbye to Wu Huahan and the others, and returned to his large office in the Borderless Building to continue thinking about the previous questions.

He thought twice and felt that it was necessary to build a stronger patent barrier for smartphones.

If you don't make a move, you will make your competitors desperate!

But Wujiang Group has the strength to do it!

Zhao Ye walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, condescending, his eyes looked into the distance, deep and bright, after a while, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he suddenly laughed, thinking, who else in the world knows more about smartphones besides himself?

In the face of the storm of smartphones, even if Nokia and Motorola are not as enterprising as in their previous lives, they will not be able to compete with Wujiang Group!
