Chapter 1024: Thirty Years Hexi
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the Onyx electronic reader, which was tested to be offline, was sent to the top leaders of Onyx Technology. Tang Zhouming handed over the new generation of readers to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu took over the second-generation electronic reader of Onyx, and after buying it, he still had a metal texture. It is hard to say how practical it is to use metal materials, but at least it is much more than those plastic-like electronic products on the market!
The entire shell design is not complicated. The line-shaped industrial design has been curvature at the edge of the machine. Compared with the first generation of Onyx electronic readers, users criticized the edges of the reader as if they were used as kitchen knifes. In the new generation of readers, the edges of the machine have been curvature.
The metal shell is not as good as the plastic shell. It can be formed as long as the temperature is temperature, and the technical requirements here are not low. Onyx Technology specially purchased a patent from the automobile manufacturer and asked technicians to help it solve the problem.
When Chen Chu looked at the Onyx reader in his hand, the entire external design was simple and clear, full of simple and technological sense. Compared with the fancy electronic products on the market, it is very recognizable.
True industrial beauty does not need to be too complex. Technology, function, fashion, and practicality are the greatest role of an industrial product. This is Zhang Yanchuan's design team's concept during design. Such a design seems simple, but even if it is left for ten years, such a design will never go out of date!
Onyx electronic reader still has a screen in front, but the 4-inch screen gives people a completely different visual impact than the 3.5-inch screen. There is only an Onyx technology red diamond LOGO behind the metal shell, and there is nothing else.
Chen Chu weighed the machine and felt that the weight of the first-generation readers was almost not as good as that of the first-generation readers. There was no way. The full metal shell, even if new technology was used, the increase in the screen represented the increase in the material, which could maintain the weight of the new model, which was the same as the first-generation readers. The design department and the technology department said that they had really tried their best!
After pressing and holding the boot button for three seconds, a red diamond LOGO appeared on the reader screen. In less than twenty seconds, I entered the main page. Chen Chu couldn't help but nodded. Currently, the MS micro-terminal operating system is really good. Chen Chu remembers that when he first generation of readers, it took more than half a minute to open the machine. Now it only takes twenty-three seconds. In these few seconds, countless people work overtime day and night to modify the system!
Tang Zhouming glanced at Ning Yanlin on the side. Ning Yanlin took a step forward and said to Chen Chu, "We have made a new upgrade to the new system and software!"
"The S4.0 reader system, regardless of reaction speed, stability or operational sensitivity, has developed leapfrog compared to before. I can guarantee that the MS micro-terminal operating system is currently the most advanced e-reader system in the world, no one!"
Ning Yanlin said to Chen Chu. When he said this, Ning Yanlin had confidence on his face. This was not his praise, but the confidence brought to Ning Yanlin by 1,400 personnel from the entire system software department. At this time, he naturally had to tell Chen Chu in front of Chen Chu and the senior management of Onyx Technology's software department that they had the credit for their software department!
Andy Rubin, who was standing aside, wanted to refute, but he didn't say anything in the end. He believed that Android is not bad at all compared to the Red Diamond MS system, but it has not been optimized yet. However, Ning Yanlin said that MS is more stable than Android at this time and has a faster reaction speed. Although Andy Rubin doesn't recognize it so much, he has to admit that the MS system with strong human and material resources supports does have a little advantage now, but only a little bit, Andy Rubin will not admit that Android loses!
Chen Chu operated the Onyx second-generation reader a few times, and as Ning Yanlin said, the reaction speed was indeed much faster.
The function of the main menu of the reader screen basically maintains the menus that users are familiar with, including Onyx Bookstore, media, stock functions, weather functions, email functions, etc. After entering, you will find that there are really a lot of changes inside.
For example, the most basic core functions, after entering Onyx Bookstore, click on a book. In addition to the most basic reading, collection, bookmark functions, automatic page turning, book page background pattern settings, and color adjustment are added. These are all new functions brought by the upgrade of screen technology.
In addition, there are two most important functions, one is vocabulary query, that is, after clicking on a vocabulary, Onyx e-reader will present the meaning of this word. This is the only one in the technology industry at present. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is a reflection of the technical content of Onyx e-reader. Onyx's new generation of e-readers has built-in search function, which is a technology provided by Zhang Yiming's search team that has not yet been announced to the outside world!
In addition to these, another function that Chen Chu asked to add, namely the voice reading function, was also officially launched. After Chen Chu clicked on a book on the bookshelf, the sound immediately came out. Chen Chu felt very good, but after searching for another book and using the voice, it turned into a voice book service that was emotionally unconscious and almost like a robot.
Seeing Chen Chu's inquiring eyes, Tang Zhouming said to Chen Chu with a little embarrassment, "At present, we have purchased and acquired less than 10,000 voice audio books. The rest of the books need to be produced and provided by us!"
Chen Chu understood Tang Zhouming's embarrassment. The audio book industry is still in its infancy all over the world. There are almost very few audio book practitioners. Because they don't make money, not many people are willing to enter.
The 10,000 audio copyrights obtained by Onyx Technology were acquired from those TV stations, radio stations, and broadcasting schools. There has not been a professional audio book industry chain on the market!
"Increasing investment in the audio book industry will become a new breakthrough point in the future book industry and will also become Onyx e-reader, the most important part of the revenue, allowing the Global Digital Copyright Association to form an audio book business department and form a professional team to produce audio books!"
Chen Chu told Tang Zhouming that the decline of paper books in the future does not mean that no one is "reading" books. The emerging listening model of audio books, instead developing rapidly and giving birth to an audio book industry chain.
Just like when Renren Technology launched the ringtone, the current ringtone maker industry formed, the development of the audio book market in the future will also lead to a group of audio book makers who use sound to transform paper text into sound words!
It seems simple, and just a sound is enough, but it is by no means that simple. This industry is full of competition. The audio book industry in the future will produce some well-known audio book producers, just like those anchors, singers, and stars, they will have a large number of fans, thus achieving huge profits.
Like the later generations, Dragonfly FM, Himalaya FM, etc., who mainly focus on the audio book market, they all made a fortune in silence. They supply audio books on the platform, and earned much more than publishing houses. However, they signed contracts with audio book recorders on the platform, and the top personnel earned millions per month, which shows the development of this industry!
"I understand, Mr. Chen, I will arrange someone to do it!" Tang Zhouming said to Chen Chu. The reason why Chen Chu could make it specifically shows that Chen Chu's optimistic about this industry is naturally necessary to pay attention to it!
After experiencing it for several minutes, it felt very smooth. Moreover, the original problem of heat too fast has been improved a lot now. Chen Chu felt that many of the new features were very good. The new generation of Onyx electronic reader has made an almost all-round progress, and the experience is far beyond the first generation of products.
"What model is the new reader?" Chen Chu handed the machine to Tang Zhouming who was standing beside him and asked him. Onyx electronic reader has launched a second-generation product, so naturally, models need to be added to distinguish between different generations of products.
"A2 reader, ONYX-A2 e-book reader!" Tang Zhouming said that the entire e-reader released by Onyx Technology has been customized for the A series of products. It was previously released as the first generation reader, which was A1 reader, but now it starts with A2!
Chen Chu nodded and looked at the A2 reader again. Seeing the eyes of Tang Zhouming, He Yaoguo, Chang Qingheng and others, Chen Chu said, "Start production!"
When everyone heard Chen Chu's words, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After Chen Chu's review, the new generation of e-readers were finally about to start mass production!
"Qingheng, you are responsible for the production department and must ensure quality. Onyx Technology needs A2 to perform in the market!" Chen Chu said to Chang Qingheng, the production department manager, that Onyx-A2 e-reader is positioned as a high-end reader market. If you have to face the battle with major brands, quality must be guaranteed.
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I will definitely do a good job in this regard. In addition, Onyx Technology is mainly responsible for the production of key components, and the assembly is carried out by Tiancheng Electronics. Onyx Technology Headquarters only undertakes 20% of the production task, and there will be no problems with the entire capacity supply!"
Chen Chu, Tang Zhouming and others walked outside. Chang Qingheng said on the side that Onyx Technology is mainly responsible for producing processors, motherboards, shells, screens, etc., and then sent to Tiancheng Electronics for assembly, which can greatly increase production capacity. If all of them are made by Onyx Technology, the first generation of products will occur, and the production capacity will be seriously insufficient.
Chen Chu explained to the senior executives of Onyx Technology. After talking to Chang Qingheng, he looked at He Yaoguo and Duan Qingmei and others, "Notify all department personnel that the release of A2 readers is the same as before. 2% of the profit will be used as a reward and distributed to all department personnel!"
"Now start the promotion of Onyx-A2!" Chen Chu asked Duan Qingmei's marketing department to start advertising to the market and officially start publicity.
After leaving the experimental production workshop, He Yaoguo, Chang Qingheng and others hurriedly left, and the entire Chuke technology instantly began to become more and more sophisticated machinery.
"Mr. Chen, news comes from Sharp!" Tang Zhouming stayed and said to Chen Chu.
