Rebuild 2005

Chapter 631 [631] I still have something to do

For ancient poetry companies, ancient poetry is the upper limit, and ancient poetry is the foundation. As a reborn, Wei Qingfan knows very well that even if ancient poetry hits high-end success, most of the shipments are still low-end.

He attaches great importance to the Manjianghong series of mobile phones.

However, the entry-level cost-effective mobile phone is more difficult to make than the mobile phone series, because he is very clear about the development direction of the mobile phone, and the wine series is the flagship, and he can make it according to the development direction of the mobile phone with all his strength.

The Manjianghong series is a test of the ability to integrate the entire mobile phone industry chain.

Many people in later generations say that there is no threshold for cost-effective mobile phones. This is undoubtedly not correct. Cost-effective mobile phones just have no moat. Whoever has a higher cost-effective price will support that part of the consumer. There is no such thing as loyalty.

Anyone can make a cost-effective mobile phone, but if you want to do it well, it will be a test of ability.

The Manjianghong series is a big test for him and the entire ancient poetry company.

Wei Qingfan attaches great importance to this, and is very concerned about it. Man Jianghong's first version of the plan has been rejected by him, and the performance is too poor.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to continue to improve the configuration within a limited cost.

Of course it is difficult, but it is difficult, so we must continue to do it.

Now the supply department and the product department are both having a headache about this matter, and he is also having a headache. If he wants to further improve the mobile phone configuration with a limited cost, he needs all-round efforts.

The most difficult part lies in the core processor of the mobile phone!
The first generation Redmi mobile phone was released in 2013. At that time, MediaTek’s smartphone processor product line was quite complete. The Redmi mobile phone used MT6589T, which is an upgraded version of the MT8589 processor. The main frequency reached 1.5GHz, which is not considered a flagship. processor, but the performance is not weak.

Now, most of MediaTek's mobile phone processor product lines are still relatively low-end, and quite a few of them don't even support 3G. It's not easy to choose a processor that meets the requirements in terms of functions, performance, and price.

At present, the processor that Wei Qingfan is eyeing is MT6239, which is the processor used in the second-generation youth version this year, but the price of the youth version is 1499, while the price of Manjianghong is only half, and the profit must be guaranteed, and the cost will be further increased. Depressed.

After pondering for a long time, Wei Qingfan finally came up with an idea: Can MediaTek customize the chip?
Like Qualcomm, MediaTek belongs to upstream manufacturers. Qualcomm and MediaTek make processors, and mobile phone manufacturers make mobile phones based on the processors. This is a normal ecology.

Wanting upstream manufacturers to make products according to the needs of downstream manufacturers is a reverse ecology.

Of course, as long as you have money, you can talk about anything, but the problem is that Wei Qingfan doesn't want to spend money, or rather don't want to spend more money...

In the original history, MediaTek launched the MT2009 processor in 6268 with high hopes, but the market feedback was not good; and in this time and space, this processor was revived because of the large-scale shipment of the Guci mobile phone youth version up.

Although MediaTek in this time and space didn't know about it, Wei Qingfan felt that he still had a contribution.

This is a mutually beneficial thing.

This idea made Wei Qingfan a little excited, and he weighed the feasibility again, and felt that although it was difficult, there was still hope.

He decided to try it out.

After all, the company's expected sales volume of Manjianghong is 2000 million units, but his inner goal is 4000 million units!

——The sales volume of the first-generation Redmi mobile phone reached 4460 million units!

Although the smartphone market in 2013 is definitely different from the present, the current smartphone market is not the same as in 2011 in the previous life, not to mention that Man Jianghong's main shipment time must be in 2012.

Market conditions are not much different.

What Redmi can do, there is no reason why Man Jianghong can't do it. Isn't the shipment of the first generation of Guci mobile phones far surpassing that of the first generation of Xiaomi mobile phones?

For any chip manufacturer, 4000 million shipments is not a small number.

Thinking of this, Wei Qingfan got up and went to the supply department, but found that they were already off work, so he went to the product department. I shared my thoughts with Yuan Fei.

When Yuan Fei heard his idea, he was surprised, but also a little moved, but felt that it was not easy to talk about, but this is mainly the work of the supply department, and it must be a good thing for the product department.

Moreover, Mr. Wei mentioned this, and he didn't ask for trouble.

"Boss Wei is wise!"

He immediately agreed.

The two discussed the specifications to be dealt with again. MediaTek must be in charge of the details, but since it is a cooperative customization, there must be an expected specification and price range.

After some discussion, Wei Qingfan felt a lot more relaxed. He returned to his office and checked the time. It was already past seven o'clock.

Li Wanyi worked overtime tonight, and Li Miaoyu went to celebrate a classmate's birthday, so he was not in a hurry to go home, anyway, the cats and dogs were not hungry because of Li Miaoyu's worries.

Just thinking of a solution, he relaxed a bit, opened the browser, and browsed on Tieba, Weibo and Luoshen Community.

As Xiaomi mobile phones began to ship, the scolding battle on the Internet became more intense. Xiaomi was still marketing mobile phones with ancient words, and Lin Ting and the others also found some quality problems of the first batch of Xiaomi mobile phones, and they promoted them behind the scenes.

Guci mobile phones also have quality problems, which cannot be avoided. Even with Apple’s quality control, there will definitely be problems. The only difference lies in the probability and after-sales service.

Lin Ting and the others have already decided on this counterattack plan, and now they have found it, and since Xiaomi has no after-sales service, they seize this point to publicize it, and they will hit the snake and hit seven inches properly.

The two sides quarreled fiercely, but the difference was that the management on Xiaomi's side went off in person, and even Lei Jun also took the lead in the charge.

On the Guci mobile phone, you can only see the navy, and you can't find any official personnel, let alone Wei Qingfan, you can't even see a senior executive, but occasionally you can see some anonymous "Gushici internal employees" Let's break the news.

Meizu should be preparing its next-generation product MX with all its strength. Although M9 has a stronger overall product strength in the face of Guci 2 and Xiaomi mobile phones, its price competitiveness is too poor, and it has not spent much effort on blending.

Wei Qingfan posted a few posts on the trumpet, feeling more and more happy, and then saw the message from Jiang Qinghuai.

At first, he thought she was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to someone, but after listening to the voice message, he couldn't help being a little strange: Why did Zhou Li drink to relieve her worries again?
However, he quickly guessed that Jiang Qinghuai might be too embarrassed to tell the truth and used Zhou Li as an excuse.

Hearing that the two girls were drinking, he didn't evade any excuses. He asked for the address, got up and went downstairs, and drove over.

"he came?"

In front of the barbecue booth, Zhou Li saw Jiang Qinghuai putting down his phone with a smile on his lips, so she asked knowingly.

"Ah."

Jiang Qinghuai nodded, "As soon as I heard that you were drunk, I immediately came over to help carry you."

Zhou Li rolled her eyes, then turned her head and glanced at the busy boss, then at the barely bare table of the two, and said with a smile, "Why don't you get drunk before Wei Qingfan comes?"

"If you want to drink, you can drink it, but I won't drink it."

Jiang Qinghuai pouted, "Why do I have to get drunk?"

Zhou Li smiled and said, "If you're not drunk, how can he carry you?"

"They are here to carry you!"

"Okay, then I'm drunk, let Mr. Wei carry me back."

The two chatted a few words, but Jiang Qinghuai's pretended relaxation didn't last long, and Zhou Li didn't interrupt on purpose, and asked softly, "What happened?"

Jiang Qinghuai was silent for a while, and recounted what happened at noon. Zhou Li was a little annoyed, and said, "Why is she doing this? Just because her current husband might be unhappy, she wants to drive you away?"

The barbecues were brought up one after another. Jiang Qinghuai ate a bunch of roasted cauliflower, his mouth was stained with sauce, he sniffed and said, "It's okay, I'm already this old anyway...she's been away for so long, I'm also grown up……"

"Yes, we don't care about her, she can do whatever she likes!"

Zhou Li held her hand and comforted her softly, "If she has the ability, let her husband try it out and see if Wei Qingfan fires you or kicks her husband out of the supply chain... and even runs over to threaten you ? I really don’t know what to say!”

Jiang Qinghuai didn't speak, Zhou Li picked up the wine glass and said boldly: "Okay, okay, there's no need to be sad, you still have me... drink!"

Jiang Qinghuai sniffed again, nodded, then picked up the wine glass to touch her, and finished drinking with his head raised.

Zhou Li was a little helpless, but she had no choice but to finish the drink. Watching her pour another glass of beer, she said with a smile, "I think it would be nice if the two of us could drink two bottles each."

"It's okay, I can drink."

Jiang Qinghuai picked up another bunch of pork belly, and started to eat it with a good appetite, and said, "Eat some meat pads first, so that you won't get drunk easily."

"Aren't you just here to get drunk?"

Zhou Li hiccupped, brought a bunch of sausages over, took a bite, and asked, "Does Liao Kaichuan know about this?"

"I probably don't know. I haven't told him, and she probably won't tell either."

Jiang Qinghuai shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with Liao Kaichuan. Speaking of it, I'm sorry for him..."

Zhou Li rolled her eyes and said, "Are you out of your mind? What do you mean I'm sorry for him?"

"I mean, he should have been ignored."

"Then he is probably willing to let you feel sorry for him now."

Zhou Li said, seeing Jiang Qinghuai picked up the wine glass again, she had to accompany her, but only drank half of the glass, "I don't want to get drunk, drink it up, I'm free."

"Ah."

Jiang Qinghuai didn't care about this, and drank the beer again, and then felt the mobile phone on the table vibrate twice, and the notification light turned green, indicating that there were unread messages.

She picked it up and turned on the phone, and sure enough, she saw a message from Wei Qingfan, asking for the specific address, so she sent him a voice message, telling him how to get here.

"Is Wei Qingfan here?"

Zhou Li quickly filled the wine glass again, "Hurry up, drink quickly, drink a few more glasses."

"Why do you have to drink quickly?"

Jiang Qinghuai gave her a sideways look, "We can't finish drinking later, let him drink."

"I want you to get drunk quickly."

Zhou Li rolled her eyes angrily, "Why don't you call him here for nothing?"

"what are you thinking?"

Jiang Qinghuai glared at her angrily, "He has a girlfriend, I called him because I couldn't find anyone else..."

"Yes, yes, Wei Qingfan is the only man left in the world."

Zhou Li nodded in agreement, raised her glass, "Drink!"

Jiang Qinghuai saw that she seemed to be really getting himself drunk, and gave her another look, but still raised his glass and tried his best to drink up the beer.

Zhou Li opened another bottle of beer, handed it to her, drank two more glasses with her, and drank one for herself, when she caught a glimpse of Wei Qingfan's white Mercedes driving over and stopped by the side of the road.

She picked up the wine glass and touched Jiang Qinghuai again. After drinking, she saw Wei Qingfan locked the car and came over, so she smiled and said, "I just remembered that I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Let Wei Let Qingfan drink with you, and I will talk with you in the evening, if you come back."
