Chapter 213 Wheat X1, focus on high-end, re-enact classics!

night.

Germination held an internal self-service reception to clean up the dust for Gu Mingzhang and his party.

The budding executives at home all participated. Under the dazzling lights, the executives looked at Gu Mingzhang and the others with a little bit of scrutiny.

Not for anything else.

In order to prepare for the establishment of Maili Technology, Germinal almost drained all the funds from the past year.

In addition to occupying a large amount of funds, Gu Mingzhang still manages Maili Technology as the vice president of the group, clearly and unmistakably showing the important position of Maili Technology in the Germination subsidiary.

Only Lu Kai enjoyed this treatment before.

That's also because Sunshine Holdings, which Lu Kai is also in charge of, also bears the brand of the Overseas Business Department of the Germination Group, and is responsible for all the overseas business of the Germination Group.

Maili Technology can be said to have set a precedent.

Naturally, Cao Yanhua and others are not good at questioning Zhang Shuo's decision-making, but they are also looking forward to whether Gu Mingzhang's team can make wheat grain technology, and whether it can be worthy of such a huge investment from the group.

otherwise.

There will certainly be a lot of gossip after that.

Compared with the prudence of Cao Yanhua and others, the mood of Song Yun, Xue Tao and others is relatively more complicated. At first they agreed to Gu Mingzhang's invitation and chose to join Maili Technology.

Not for anything else, just because of trust in Gu Mingzhang.

They don't have a clear idea of ​​Maili Technology itself, or even the Germinal Group.

It wasn't until Zhang Shuo's domineering speech at the signing ceremony that he finally established a preliminary impression of Zhang Shuo, the new boss, and then Zhang Shuo's bold decision at the airport.

The truth is refreshing.

It wasn't until I got to know the executives of Germination that I established a new impression of Germination in my mind.

Absolutely exceeded expectations!
They thought that Germination was little-known before, but after a little understanding, they realized that Germination is indeed a giant in the Internet field.

I am more and more confident.

After the reception ended, Gu Mingzhang's team returned to the hotel to rest. Because they lived overseas all the year round, they didn't have a place to stay in Binhai City. The Germination Group even rented a business apartment nearby.

As a temporary staff dormitory for the wheat grain technology team.

With the continuous expansion of the budding business and attracting a large number of elite talents from overseas, this kind of resettlement dilemma will continue to occur, so Zhang Shuo has to start the youth apartment project as soon as possible.

When the youth apartment project is completed, all problems will be solved.

…………

Friday, April 6.

Although the outside world is still discussing, this does not affect the development rhythm of Sprout itself.

morning.

Zhang Shuo convened Gu Mingzhang, Song Yun, and Xue Tao, three executives of Maili Technology, to discuss the matter.

Jiang Yue, Senior Vice President of the Group, attended the meeting.

Maili Technology has set sail, but things are still very complicated. In addition to the disposal of Nokia's patented technology, Maili Technology also needs to set a general tone internally.

For example, is the brand positioning of Maili mobile phone high-end or low-end?
Or all?
Another example is the general development plan of the wheat grain mobile phone. It is necessary to set a time node to ensure that the first wheat grain mobile phone is launched before the arrival of the node.

With the time node, the R&D design team can reverse the work plan.

In addition, there are a series of major issues such as the organizational structure, working mechanism, overall KPI target setting, allocation of operating funds, follow-up personnel recruitment plan, etc. of Maili Technology.

All need to be resolved at this meeting.

If Maili Technology is a conventional start-up company, then it will take three months to establish the above items and complete the running-in within the team. It is conservatively estimated that it will take three months.

even longer.

Wheat technology is unusual, and it can't wait that long.

Because it has fallen behind.

The good thing is that Maili Technology, or the Germination Group, has Zhang Shuo, who is at the helm of the show, and has drawn a clear development blueprint for Maili Technology before the meeting.

"This is the design plan of Maili X1, please take a look."

As soon as he came up, Zhang Shuo threw out a mobile phone design plan that had been prepared for two months, which was a bit like when he provided the game planning plan to Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

Jiang Yue looked clear.

She has been with Zhang Shuo for a long time, and she knows Zhang Shuo's supernatural powers. Whether it is the game of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment or Weixin, Zhang Shuo is a crucial planner.

just now.

Zhang Shuo applied this magical power to the mobile phone business.

Jiang Yue couldn't help thinking of the dozens of books related to mobile phones on the bookshelf in Zhang Shuo's office, and he knew how much homework Zhang Shuo had done in private.

Can't help but feel ashamed.

Compared to the tireless work of the boss, she, the senior vice president, is a bit tired, which is really nothing.

This is Jiang Yue's misunderstanding.

It is true that Zhang Shuo has been studying books related to mobile phones recently, but he is not really an expert in the field of mobile phones. He just corroborates these knowledge points with the memory of the original time and space.

Then come up with a set of "optimal path selection" programs.

purpose.

It is to let Maili Technology rush towards the optimal solution from the very beginning without taking any detours.

Because I can't afford to delay.

The three of Gu Mingzhang were taken aback for a moment, and picked up the design book in front of them with strange expressions. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they were always ready to read it carefully.

After all, it is the hard work of the big boss.

Gu Mingzhang has even made up his mind that even if this design scheme seems outrageous, he must propose revisions in the most tactful way possible, so as not to embarrass the boss.

At the same time, he did not forget to wink at Song Yun and Xue Tao.

In fact.

Song Yun was already resisting in his heart at this time. He never expected that the new boss, who leaked his domineering externally, was also so strong internally that he would interfere in the specific work of Maili Technology so openly.

And it is the core and most professional field of mobile phone design.

How will you fix it after this?
As a veteran in the mobile phone industry, Song Yun is too aware of the professionalism and complexity of a new mobile phone, especially the design of a smart phone.

It is simply beyond the imagination of laymen.

Therefore, I don't think that the so-called design plan proposed by Zhang Shuo can have any bright spots.

"Isn't this just a joke?"

For the first time, Song Yun's confidence in Maili Technology was shaken. If it weren't for Gu Mingzhang's winking, as a technician, he would be embarrassed on the spot.

Xue Tao looked calm.

Obviously a little more tactful than Song Yun.

The conference room became quiet again, only the sound of pages turning.

Zhang Shuo just sat quietly at the head, observing the subtle expression changes of the three of Gu Mingzhang with great interest. With the gift of insight, how could Song Yun's little expression be hidden from his eyes?

There is no dissatisfaction in my heart.

Because this is human nature, I just took the opportunity to observe the temperament of the three of them.

Among the three, Song Yun's expression change was the most exciting.

Dissatisfied at first, with a hint of disdain, he flipped through a few pages of the design book, and obviously became serious again, then frowned, as if he was troubled by something.

This is normal.

The design scheme of the Maili X1 given by Zhang Shuo can be said to be a collection of the advantages of many popular mobile phones in the next two or three years. The summary in one sentence is——

"Focus on high-end, reproduce classics!"

The first is the appearance design, which refers to the classic appearance of the later classic Guo 6 as a whole. The shell is made of aluminum alloy instead of the current mainstream plastic material.

This change alone can greatly enhance the high-end feel of the X1.

The screen uses a glass front panel.

Zhang Shuo wants to use a sapphire glass screen that will not scratch at all, but it is also not possible now.

The size parameters of the X1 are set to be 138.1 mm high, 67.0 mm wide, and 7.2 mm thick. Except for a slightly thicker thickness, the height and width are exactly the same as the Guo 6.

The reason for relaxing the requirements on the thickness of mobile phones is also to take into account the current level of craftsmanship.

The display screen is 4.7 inches, and other parameters such as screen resolution, front and rear camera pixels, processor, battery capacity, memory and other parameters are as close as possible to Samsung Galaxy S3.

The operating system is of course based on MALI developed by the Android system.

With the current research and development level of Maili Technology, it is impossible to develop an operating system independent of the two mainstream camps of Android and IOS from scratch.

This is something that even Nokia and Microsoft have not done.

Even if an independent operating system is to be developed to avoid being controlled by others in the future, it will be three to five years, or even longer.

The most important thing for Maili Technology is to come up with a blockbuster product with stunning design but mediocre technology within one year.

Let's compete with the upcoming fruit 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 that will be released next year.

First-class technology + first-class design can certainly produce first-class products, but second-rate technology + super-first-class design can also produce first-class products.

Apple's success, stunning design definitely accounted for a large part of the credit.

There must be a big gap between Sprout and Guoguo and Samsung in terms of technology research and development and technical reserves, so it can only use Zhang Shuo's rebirth advantage to make up for the lack of technology with stunning designs.

In the fruit series, the fruit 4 and the fruit 6 are recognized as the most classic two models. Apple's subsequent models are basically fine-tuned on the basis of the fruit 6.

The classic shape of Guo 6 has dominated for four or five years.

As for the fruit 5 released next year, including the follow-up fruit 5S, although the sales volume is not bad, but it is a semi-failed finished product, and it was even complained by fruit fans as a masterpiece of Jiang Lang.

One of the main reasons is that Apple insists on small screen design.

In 4.7 when 2012 inches has become the mainstream, in order to insist on the so-called one-handed operation, the screen of Guo 5 is only 4 inches, and the appearance is not much changed compared with Guo 4.

Naturally, it is difficult to convince consumers.

It wasn't until the birth of Guo 6 that Apple let go of its arrogance and began to embrace the big screen.

"How about it?"

After the three of them finished watching, Zhang Shuo asked with a smile.

"Stunning!"

Gu Mingzhang's eyes were radiant, and it was difficult to find other adjectives.

"Creative genius!"

Song Yun, who was a little arrogant before, completely knelt down now.
