Chapter 0436 Barbaric Development
Qian Weichen still doesn't understand why Li Rui is so persistent in chip technology, but Li Rui is the boss, so he can only listen to the boss.
OK, I will continue to follow up on Freescale. But this will be a long tug-of-war process and it cannot be done in one or two years. You need to be mentally prepared to fight a protracted war. Qian Weichen reminded.
Li Rui said: I am patient.
As he was talking, the door was knocked.
Li Rui smiled and said: The beautiful courier has arrived.
He went over and opened the door, and Chen Qinglian stood at the door with a box.
Come in. Li Rui welcomes Chen Qinglian into the room.
Chen Qinglian and Qian Weichen had also met before and greeted him enthusiastically.
Li Rui, you bought all the things you asked me to buy. Chen Qinglian put the box on the table and opened the lid.
There are dozens of mobile phones inside, and all the smartphones you can buy on the market are here.
Li Rui said: If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. If you study these samples slowly, we must take the essence and remove the dross and try to make a perfect mobile phone.
Qian Weichen picked up Apple 4 and said with emotion: I always thought that Moji's mobile phone did not belong to anyone in terms of design. It was not until I saw this mobile phone that there were people outside of people and there was heaven. Lao Qiao is really an idol of our generation, a god!
Li Rui also sighed: That's right, this is indeed a generation of magical machines.
Apple's first three generations have few domestic users. First, the channel problem has led to only smuggling goods on the market, and second, the concept of smart phones has not yet been popularized at that time.
It was not until the release of Apple 4 that the frenzy of Apple mobile phones entering the mainland market, and young people flocked to it, and even the incident of selling kidneys and buying mobile phones occurred, which led to many people's Apple mobile phones being nicknamed kidney machines since then.
In this year, Xiao Mi was still fiddling with Miui, while Hua Wei was working on a customized machine for operators, and she had not yet entered the smartphone market. The Android smartphone brands that can compete with Apple on the market are HTC of Baodao, Korean star of Chaodao, several Google's own son mobile phones, and of course, the half-dead Moji and Nokki.
This is an era of heroes competing for hegemony, and anyone can gain a larger market.
The Xingrui mobile phone is launched at this time, just at the right time.
Li Rui picked up Google's g1, which is the first phone launched by Google's own son. It is made by HTC Electronics and designed with a side sliding cover physical keyboard.
Li Rui once bought this mobile phone in his previous life, but unfortunately he was thieved at the train station later.
Qian Gong, what do you think of this phone? Li Rui asked.
There is something unique in design, but the most attractive thing is the system. At first I was not optimistic about Android systems because open systems often have many problems, but after using them for a while, I found that this kind of open system is the future trend. Just like Linux, it is tolerant to everything, and being open is always better than being closed. Qian Weichen said.
Li Rui asked Chen Qinglian again: How much does this mobile phone cost?
Let’s take a look at Chen Qinglian took out the shopping list, and it’s 1,800 yuan, it’s a parallel product.
Unlike flagship phones that cost 5,000 or 6,000 yuan in ten years, the parallel phones worth 1,800 yuan in 2010 are already quite expensive, and many people use counterfeit feature phones worth 3,500 yuan.
As for the high price of Apple 4, many people dare not think about it. If anyone owns an Apple 4 at this time, they are indeed qualified to be a show-off.
Having said that, the 1,800-yuan g1 is actually an outdated product two years ago, and other Android phones are more expensive, especially HTC and Korean stars. Any broken phone dares to charge a high price of more than 2,000, and has harvested a wave of domestic users who don’t know much about smart phones.
It was not until Xiao Mi came out of nowhere and entered the smart phone market with a cost-effective configuration, and the rise of other domestic manufacturers, that the bubble in this market was destroyed.
There are still ten months left for Li Rui to think.
Xiao Mi has launched Miui before, and has accumulated a group of loyal users, which has planted a seed of hope in the Android market.
MiTalk a few days ago seemed to give people the illusion that Xiao Mi mainly entered the software market. After all, Lei Jun started out in software before, and it has nothing to do with hardware.
But ten months later, in October 2011, the birth of Xiao Mi m1 had a great impact on this market. The era of barbaric development of domestic smartphones came, and it took only a few years to become a trillion-level market!
Li Rui didn't want to miss this opportunity.
What do you think of BlackBerry phones? Qian Weichen picked up a BlackBerry phone and asked Li Rui that BlackBerry's push function may become the standard configuration for future phones.
I don’t think so. Li Rui shook his head. Is this a function destined to be eliminated by the times?
Why do you say that? Qian Weichen said strangely.
Li Rui took out his spare Android phone, found the MiTalk he downloaded a few days ago, and showed it to Qian Weichen: This is the trend.
What is this? Qian Weichen is not young anymore, and sometimes it is normal for him to not keep up with the idea of young people. Besides, MiTao has been launched for a few days and has not yet formed a reputation effect.
After fiddling with it, Qian Weichen knew how to play Mijie and showed a surprised look: Is this really better than BlackBerry's push?
Li Ruidao: BlackBerry's push is more in line with the business style of Chinese people in Magnesium and is not suitable for the domestic market. MiTalk is the communication direction of smartphones in the future.
Chen Qinglian said: Then, can we also build such a software?
Li Rui smiled and shook his head and said: Forget it, I don’t want to throw away money in vain.
If Li Rui can beat the penguin, why don’t he want to fight, but he can’t!
Looking at one mobile phone after another, it seemed like a unique mobile phone fair was held on the table.
Li Rui pointed at them and said: I have several requirements for money and labor.
First, on the big screen, you must have fun playing games!
Second, high-pixel front and rear cameras must meet the photography needs of female users!
Third, high configuration, but the price cannot exceed 2,000!
Qian Weichen was stunned and smiled bitterly: Li Rui, your requirements are a bit high, both high configuration and cheap, it is difficult to take into account both at the same time.
Li Rui said: I believe you can do it.
If Xiao Mi can do it, I will definitely do it too!
If it cannot reach the level of Xiao Mi, it would be fine if you don’t use this phone.
Qian Weichen was stunned and said: OK, I'll try it. In terms of hardware, I still need to go to the market. This requires ordering in advance and then configuring the mobile phone system according to the hardware level, which involves many complex design processes.
I'll let the marketing department cooperate with you. Du Weiguo is the head of the marketing department. He is an old world. You can leave it to him for negotiations and bargaining. Li Ruidao.
Du Weiguo went to the nearby market research a few days ago and just came back these days.
Li Rui called Du Weiguo to the hotel with a phone call and officially met Qian Weichen.
