I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 230 Get It Done!
After confirming that it was the small hard drive brought by Dongzhi, Lin Xiao walked into the R&D center with a box of five small hard drives.

At this time, Fadell was communicating with an engineer in front of the computer.

Seeing Lin Xiao coming in, Fadell ended the exchange and stepped forward.

"Hey, BOSS, I haven't seen you for two days, I thought you had left Silicon Valley."

"I'm about to leave, so I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "But before leaving, I have to give you some surprises."

Fadell suddenly shouted exaggeratedly, "Surprise? Man, my favorite thing is surprises. Of course, this surprise is big enough."

"A small hard drive, is this surprise big enough?"

As Lin Xiao said, he casually took out pieces of small hard drives that he just got at the door from the box.

"Oh God! Is this true?"

Fadell snatched the small hard drive from Lin Xiao's hand almost immediately, and then stared at it.

Immediately, Fadell said excitedly: "It looks smaller than I imagined! It should not be 2 inches."

"The data we got is that it is only 1.8 inches." Lin Xiao explained.

Fadell immediately asked: "What about its capacity?"

"The capacity is 5 G!" Lin Xiao replied.

"Great!" Fadell yelled again.

"Hey guys, we got a small 5G hard drive!"

And following his yell, several engineers immediately surrounded him, and the rest of the people also looked sideways at him.

All along, they have been doing research and development around this small hard drive, and now they finally got the real thing.

At this time, Lin Xiao took out several hard drives from the box and handed them over to different engineers, who immediately started to exclaim.

"It's really small enough."

"This little guy actually has a capacity of five gigabytes!"

"With it, we can try to assemble products."

……

After these people started to calm down the excitement, Lin Xiao said to Fadell:
"This is a test sample brought by the manufacturer, Fadell, I need you to help me determine its performance."

"No problem, we will test right now."

Fadell agreed, and then said to the two projects:

"William, Ralph, you two take the hard drive and do a test, guys, be careful."

The two engineers took the hard drive to test immediately.

After a while, the two took their respective test data and handed them over to Fadell.

Fadell looked at it very carefully, and then smiled at Lin Xiao: "Boss, I love you to death, this is what we want."

"It does come in a 5G size, and it's of good quality, it's great, and I think we've finished one of our most critical parts."

After Fadell finished speaking, he turned his head and began to ask Lin Xiao for credit:
"Boss, according to the information you provided us before, we have made some preliminary designs, and we have made several models in the past two days."

"Hey John, get our models out.

After Fadell finished speaking, a person immediately took out several MP3 foam models.

These models are all about the same size, and indeed are much smaller than the actual Walkman and MP3 player.

However, Lin Xiao frowned upon seeing these models for the first time.

This is not the same as the first generation of iPods he remembers.

Fadell immediately saw the change in Lin Xiao's expression, and asked, "Boss, are you dissatisfied with the appearance of these models?"

After hearing the question, Lin Xiao nodded, and then began to guide Fadell and others to think.

"Fadell, our hard drive has 5 gigabytes, right? How many songs do you think it can hold?"

"About 1000," Fadell blurted out.

Lin Xiao nodded, then turned to Fadell and said, "Then, how do you want to browse the playlist? Are you going to let our users use these four buttons to press hundreds of times to select 1000 songs?"

"If I hear the 600th song, but I suddenly want to listen to the 100th song, how should I switch?" Lin Xiao asked Fadell.

After hearing this, Fadell thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe we can add a page-turning button here. When you press and hold this button, you can quickly turn the page."

"That's too troublesome! We have to have better ideas and solutions." Lin Xiao shook his head.

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Fadell frowned slightly, and then asked the others, "Guys, do you have any better ideas?"

In the office, no one answered Fadell's words.

Lin Xiao saw this and started to speak.

He didn't know who owned the roulette design in the middle of Apple's iPod in the previous life, but at this time, it didn't prevent him from directly showing it to pretend.

"If we design a rotating wheel at the bottom of the screen, when we need to make quick adjustments, we can turn it directly with our fingers, and then the list can be accelerated."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he began to make gestures on the model.

After Lin Xiao's words were spoken, the eyes of all the engineers including Fadell began to light up.

"God, this idea is perfect!"

Fadell immediately began to exclaim.

"When we need to turn a page, we don't need to press the button desperately, we just need to use our fingers to turn it lightly like this...God, this sounds too technological!"

While exclaiming, Fadell asked everyone, "Guys, what do you think?"

"Excellent! I love the idea."

"It doesn't sound too technically difficult, but I think the experience it brings to users is unparalleled."

……

After all the engineers were amazed, Fadell said to Lin Xiaoyi with admiration: "Hey, BOSS, your creativity has conquered all of us!"

"So, we will apply this design to the product as soon as possible."

Lin Xiao nodded, then simply continued: "In terms of color, my idea is that we only need white. Of course, it is not ordinary white, but the white of the white whale. It will look very pure!"

"White of the white whale?" Fadell said, then quickly walked to the computer and found a photo of the white whale.

"The color looks so cool, so pure, and so trendy."

"Yes, that's why I like it." Lin Xiao said.

"So not only the body, but also the earphones, cables, and even the power adapter must be white."

"That's so cool!" Fadell exclaimed again: "Boss, I think you'd better stay here forever. These ideas of yours will make the whole product look more fashionable."

"I finally understand why you told me that we were going to create the coolest product. It turns out that you have already thought of all of this."

Lin Xiao smiled noncommittally, "Fadell, you have done a great job, I just provided some small ideas."

After finishing speaking, he asked Fadell: "So, now that the small hard drive has arrived, and the shape and color have been basically determined, this means that our project development can be accelerated, right?"

"Of course! I think we will finish it within... three months!" Fadell said confidently.

three months?That is February, and after the product is launched, it will be after March.

And in April, the Nasdaq stock market crash is about to begin. By then, will the MP3 that I just launched be affected?

At that time, everyone's attention will definitely be on NASDAQ. With the stock prices of all Internet and technology companies falling, if you want to launch a technology product, it will definitely be affected, at least the attention will not be so high.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiao said directly to Fadell:
"No, three months is too long, Fadell, two months, two months at most and you have to get it done!"

"Boss, two months..." Fadell obviously thought that this time was a bit short, so he was ready to say something more.

"200 million!" Lin Xiao directly raised two fingers, "If you get it done within two months, I will reward the whole team with 200 million yuan!"

"Of course, if you can advance, you will be awarded 10 yuan for every day in advance!"

Lin Xiao knew that when he talked about breaking the sky, in fact, there was no real cash reward.

Fadell did not answer directly, he was silent for a while, and then turned around and asked all the engineers:
"The BOSS wants us to complete the research and development of this project in two months, and take out 200 million as a reward, and then reward 10 yuan for every day in advance! Guys, tell me your answers!"

"Yes, we were able to get it done in two months."

"I think we can have a shorter time, Fadell, why not think about the 300 million bonus?"

"That's right, I think we can get 300 million!"

The engineers all started shouting.

After hearing this, Fadell turned around, looked at Lin Xiao excitedly and said, "Boss, we are willing to accept this challenge!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled with satisfaction: "It's great, guys, come on, I've prepared the check, and I'll wait for your good news!"

"Don't worry, Boss, leave it to us!"

A group of engineers shouted, Lin Xiao bid farewell to everyone and left with Dong Meilan.

In the R&D center, the working atmosphere of Fadell and a group of engineers began to become frenzied.

"Tony, improve our design immediately..."

"The function of the roulette wheel, Campbell, that's your job, get it done as soon as possible!"

……

Hearing the faint shouts from the R&D center, Lin Xiao smiled.

Walking out of the R&D center, Lin Xiao turned to Dong Meilan and said, "Manager Dong, you can help me with something recently."

"Boss Lin, tell me." Dong Meilan replied immediately.
