Chapter 261 The Concept of Tablet
Chapter 261 The concept of “tablet”
Hu Yue and Ge Hongbing followed Hu Yang to the villa at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. The violent storm she imagined did not come.
Although Li Guixiang has a bad temper, he is also such a smart person. Since this is an irreversible matter, the future son-in-law must not lose face when he comes to visit her for the first time.
The dark clouds above the family's heads dispersed so quietly.
Hu Yang stayed with his family in Star City for two days, and then returned to Deep Sea.
"Yang Yang, why didn't you come to the provincial capital when you arrived in Xijiang? I originally wanted to tell you something in person. However, Maosheng is going to Guangdong Province in the past two days. I'll wait until you meet and let him tell you."
Surprisingly, when he returned to the deep sea with his front foot, Wu Di's phone call came from his back foot.
Wu Di didn't say what the matter was on the phone, and it seemed that some things were not convenient to say over the phone. Hu Yang chatted with the other party for a few words and then hung up.
"I don't know what's going on, and it's so mysterious."
Hu Yang didn't like to guess riddles, but Wu Maosheng was coming anyway, so it would be the same to listen to his narration when the time came.
"Mr. Hu, please go back to your room and take a shower first. I will arrange lunch right away. By the time you come down from the shower, you will be ready to eat."
Lin Yan's work is as meticulous as ever, and even Hu Yang thinks she is impeccable as an assistant.
Hu Yang got up and went upstairs. After taking a bath, he felt a little sleepy. He wanted to lie down for a while, but fell asleep unknowingly.
I slept for a full hour, and when I woke up, I realized that I seemed to have missed my meal.
"Assistant Lin, why didn't you call me? You haven't eaten yet, so come over and eat together."
The person on duty at the villa today was Han Wen, so Hu Yang asked him to come over for dinner.
The delivered meals were placed in an insulated box, and the temperature was acceptable. Hu Yang did not let Lin Yan call to order again, and hurriedly filled her stomach before letting out a sigh of relief.
Seriously, everyone is hungry.
The next day.
Hu Yang came to Charming Technology, ready to focus on official business.
As soon as he sat down in the office, the vice president of operations knocked on the door and came in, giving him a report on his work during this period.
At present, the company's second-generation MP3 has been finalized and has begun mass production. Because of the advertising effect, coupled with the product's beautiful appearance and high cost performance, it has accumulated a lot of good reputation in the market.
The "Charming Light" series of products have quietly become popular, and even compared with foreign products, they are not inferior at all.
Of course, the company does not have any core technologies, such as design patents and so on, which are all details, not fundamental.
Therefore, when technical director Huang Tao came in to report on work, Hu Yang was curious about what the R&D center was busy with.
"Mr. Hu, let's not talk about the second generation MP3. Anyway, it has already been put on the market. The R&D center is currently preparing to develop an upgraded product that can not only listen to music, but also watch videos. This is our nth generation product.
mp4 player."
Huang Tao's report did not disappoint Hu Yang, but his heart was bleeding.
Being able to start using MP4 so quickly shows that Huang Tao and the technical staff of the R&D center are very capable. However, MP4 is a trap. In Populus euphratica's mind, its life cycle is much shorter than that of MP3, making it a typical waste.
"Director Huang, first of all, I would like to congratulate everyone on your achievements. However, I personally have a opinion that products like MP4 may not be what the market needs."
MP4 products have two shortcomings. One is that the screen size is too small. The other is that the storage space is not large and the function is single.
In fact, this product did not perform very well in the market from the day it came out. Later, with the emergence of tablet computers and smartphones, it was completely eliminated.
Huang Tao carefully considered Hu Yang's analysis and found that his thinking had indeed gone into a misunderstanding. Sometimes disruptive designs do not necessarily represent advancement, but may also be traps reserved for themselves.
"Mr. Hu, what you said makes sense. We should continue to develop the third generation MP3 player and try our best to further improve the original quality."
Huang Tao decided to conduct research in a down-to-earth manner and not to make too big a leap all at once.
"Well, it's up to you to decide the specific matters yourself. When it comes to research, there will naturally be successes and failures, so there's no need to be too conservative."
Hu Yang smiled and then brought up the concept of "tablet".
Tablet computers are also a category of consumer electronics. Their functions are simple, practical, easy to carry, and mainly for entertainment purposes. However, this product can be pre-researched in advance, and it is still a bit early to bring it out now.
Huang Tao was immediately attracted by this concept. This product obviously has epoch-making significance.
Of course, Hu Yang was not the first to put forward this concept. Microsoft proposed the "t" strategy just before the turn of the millennium, including this "all-purpose PC".
"Okay, I will pay attention to this information. However, I don't think tablet computers will appear in the short term. This involves a series of issues such as the operating system, the improvement of CPU performance, and the display panel.
I suggest you treat it as a reserve project for research, it doesn’t need to take up too many resources.”
The moment of excitement quickly passed, and Huang Tao realized that it was very difficult to develop this product. Moreover, all core components need to be imported, including CPUs and displays. Currently, the technical conditions in various countries around the world are not enough to support the industrial production of this product.
.
Hu Yang nodded, admiring Huang Tao's pragmatic work attitude.
After Huang Tao left, Hu Yang chatted with the company's administrative vice president. The company had been sending out information to recruit general managers for a long time, but there were very few applicants.
This is certainly because Charming Technology’s reputation is too low, but also because the company’s requirements are too high.
For the time being, Hu Yang has no choice. He can't just lower the recruitment conditions just to be the boss, right?
Fortunately, he does not need to handle most matters of Charming Technology personally, and the company's troika can support the company to go a long way.
After handling these matters, Hu Yang also visited the R&D center. The R&D center rented a five-story independent building. Compared with other office areas of the company, this is a relatively closed space.
At present, most of the R&D center's energy is still focused on the company's products, but there is also a certain degree of pursuit of the application of some new technologies.
Hu Yang is still satisfied with the work of the R&D center. High-rise buildings have been built from the ground up. Now laying a solid foundation is the greatest success.
"Mr. Hu, your phone call is from a friend of yours. He said his name is Wu Maosheng."
On the way back to the investment building after leaving Charming Technology, Hu Yang received a call from Wu Maosheng. The other person on the phone just told him that the flight would land at noon tomorrow and they would arrive in the deep sea.
Since it was "them", it meant that Wu Maosheng was not alone. The next day, Hu Yang sent the company's commercial vehicle and asked Lin Yan and Han Wen to pick him up at the airport.
"Amao, Mr. Yu, it's been a hard journey. I arranged the meal upstairs, how about we chat while eating?"
Lin Yan and Han Wen took the guests to the company. When Hu Yang saw Wu Maosheng, he also saw Yu Guozhu beside him.
When the completion ceremony of Huijia International Investment Building was held, this "President Yu" also came with Wu Maosheng, which shows that they must have something to do when they came here specially this time.
"Mr. Hu, you're welcome. However, I heard Mr. Wu say that you are good friends, so let's just do as we please..."
Yu Guozhu speaks in an unhurried manner and looks very friendly, which makes it easy for people to like him.
"Mr. Hu must be careful. I didn't eat anything on the plane. I'm really hungry now. Let's eat first."
Wu Maosheng and Hu Yang had nothing to be polite about. If it weren't for Yu Guozhu's existence, he would definitely still call Hu Yang by his nickname.
Hu Yang got up and took the two guests to the small restaurant on the top floor.
Wu Maosheng and Hu Yang sat down at the table, Yu Guozhu said hello and went to the bathroom.
"Yang Yang, my father asked me to tell you that during the election at the end of the year, you will be nominated as a municipal representative."
No wonder Wu Di refused to say what happened on the phone. This news was really not suitable to be leaked.
And Hu Yang knew that with this nomination, the possibility of becoming a representative was almost 100%.
After doing so many things, including investing in the "red industrial chain" and investing in agricultural technology companies, wasn't that the reason for Populus euphratica's original little thought?
It's not that Hu Yang has any excessive demands for status, he just wants to avoid unnecessary interference for himself.
"Thank you, Amao, for bringing me good news. I'll call Uncle Wu later. Let's not talk about it today."
Hu Yang changed the subject, and just as he was about to ask Wu Maosheng the reason for his visit this time, Yu Guozhu came over.
Hu Yang asked him to sit down and then waved to the kitchen to start serving food.
"Mr. Hu, we have taken the liberty to come here this time to seek cooperation. Mr. Wu and I are determined to transform into the real estate industry, but the current economic development level of Xijiang needs to be improved, so we plan to come to the south to try
water.
As for us, we don’t have many connections in Yangcheng or Shenhai. The entry barrier for the real estate industry is not low. I wonder if Mr. Hu is interested in cooperation?"
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yu Guozhu was the first to start the conversation.
Wu Maosheng said nothing. It was not appropriate for him to talk to Hu Yang about this kind of thing.
Hu Yang understood what the other party wanted to express. Yu Guozhu and Wu Maosheng wanted to come to the south to do real estate, but they didn't have many connections for the time being, so they wanted to get Hu Yang on board.
The real estate industry has its own unique characteristics. If unknown companies from other places enter rashly, it is difficult to get support from local banks. To put it bluntly, you may not even be able to get land.
"I need to seriously consider this matter and cannot reply to you immediately. But please rest assured that no matter whether we cooperate on the project or not, as Amao's friend, I will provide you with support in my personal name."
