Chapter 87

The rise of the Chaos Zhilian operating system is undoubtedly like a thick and powerful slap on Guge's face.

For this reason, after receiving the comprehensive analysis report of the chaos operating system, Ellis, the chairman of Guge, felt extremely bad in an instant, and felt extremely angry for the first time since taking this position.

And Wu Kangsheng, who previously believed that the chaotic system was not good, obviously could not escape the scolding.

"That's what you call immature."

"Take your eyes out of your heels and take a good look. The overall performance of the Chaos Zhilian operating system has surpassed ours. This is definitely a proud work produced through painstaking research and development. It is completely different from the immaturity you say."

"If my guess is correct, the other party released this operating system after the buffer period has passed, it should be intentional."

In the chairman's office, Ellis threw the report in front of Wu Kangsheng. The whole mood was visibly worse than when the technical meeting was held last time.

As for Wu Kangsheng, who was standing upright in front of the desk at the moment, he definitely didn't dare to delay, so he quickly picked up the report and checked it.

soon.

After getting a general understanding, he replied solemnly: "Boss, I underestimated the strength of future technology. I didn't expect them to be able to improve the performance of this operating system so much."

But maybe it's unwillingness.

As soon as the voice fell, he added two more sentences.

"However, even if the overall performance of Chaos Zhilian surpasses ours, and only one mobile phone brand uses it, it will not be able to change the entire market pattern."

"okay."

"You don't need to participate in this matter anymore. Your next work focus is on the continuous improvement and upgrading of the artificial intelligence architecture. The future development trend of the industry is the field of artificial intelligence, but now there are companies that have established a firm foothold in this field. We It also has to be planned in advance.”

Ellis didn't listen to Wu Kangsheng's words, interrupted him and arranged for him to work in the artificial intelligence research and development department.

Obviously this time he was very angry.

Faced with this situation, although Wu Kangsheng still wanted to say something, he finally swallowed the words with a slight squirm of his lips.

Changed it to nodding to indicate that he knew.

"It's the boss."

As soon as the voice fell, he turned and left the office without staying too long.

The powerful performance displayed by the main Chaos Zhilian is enough to prove that this is a very mature mobile phone operating system. Even if it is currently only used by a Huawei brand, it still cannot change this fact.

So no matter what Wu Kangsheng said, it would be in vain, and it would only affect his impression in Ellis' heart.

The only thing he can do now is to work hard to improve and upgrade the artificial intelligence that is being developed, and strive to surpass the future technology when it is put into use one day.

That's when he'll really prove his worth.

……

……

Let's talk about Xiaomi.

As the sales of Tenglong chip mobile phones continued to rise in the next few days, Xiaomi's flagship phone using Qualcomm's new chips felt unsalable. Therefore, Lei Jun had to hold company meetings several times to discuss how to save the market. Dilemma.

After all, in order to occupy the high-end mobile phone market, he invested so much in this flagship phone, if it doesn't sell, it will be a big loss.

"Now our situation is believed to be very clear to everyone, so today's meeting has only one purpose, and that is whether to lower the sales price of the premium version."

imperial capital.

The headquarters building of Xiaomi Technology.

As Lei Jun's voice fell in the core conference room, the heads of various departments sitting on both sides suddenly started talking in a low voice.

But no one responded hastily.

For a product, there are two methods most commonly used to increase its sales.

Either increase the quality, or reduce the price.

Right now, the various configurations of the mobile phone have been fixed, obviously there is no way to change it, the only option is to focus on the price.

But mobile phones are not Chinese cabbage.

Even lowering the price a little requires comprehensive research and analysis.

What's more, when the mobile phone was first launched.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the design of this exclusive mobile phone, its price can only be ranked in the ranks of the mid-range market. Later, in order to enter the high-end mobile phone market and compete with Pingguo, this suddenly increased the configuration and price.

It has been less than ten days since it went online for sale. If the price is suddenly cut sharply, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among users who have already purchased it.

Even if appropriate subsidies are given, it is bound to cause a decline in word-of-mouth.

However, it is not a problem for mobile phones to be sold out for a long time and stored in warehouses.

It is precisely because of these problems that Lei Jun specially held this seminar, hoping to discuss a solution that can solve the current predicament.

After about ten seconds of silence, someone took the initiative to start the topic and said: "Chairman, although our sales volume is low now, it is not at all to the extent of lowering the price. The quantity certainly cannot support their long-term unlimited sales."

The voice just fell.

The whole conference room was like throwing a stone into boiling water. Everyone seemed to have found the point of entry, and they all spoke in agreement.

"Everyone knows that there are no fabs to manufacture Tenglong chips. With the first batch of orders placed by Ren Yuanwei and how many chips can be in stock, I'm afraid they will start buying them in limited quantities in a few days."

"According to their previous procurement standards, it is speculated that the inventory of Tamron chips is at most 500 million pieces, and it will have no impact on us when the number of their chips decreases."

"I agree with that."

"You might as well wait for a few days. There is not enough chip supply. I believe they will have a shortage of supply soon."

Hearing the words of everyone in the conference room, Lei Jun couldn't help but fell into deep thought. From the bottom of his heart, he definitely didn't want to lower the price, because it would also affect the brand's image and would not be conducive to the future development of the layout.

But it has to be said that the inventory of Tamron chips is indeed a great advantage for them.

So after careful consideration, he immediately made a decision and said: "The price reduction is temporarily on hold. Next, as soon as Warwick's flagship machine is announced to be sold in limited quantities, we will increase the intensity of gift giving and publicity and promotion resources."

"It's the chairman."

With everyone's unanimous answer, this short meeting is considered to be temporarily over, and the heads of various departments have returned to their tense working state.

However, there is always an insurmountable gap between the ideal and the reality. When they waited for the shortage of Tamron chip mobile phones and began to be forced to buy them in limited quantities, they found that Tamron chips seemed to be inexhaustible. , there will be no signs of shortages for several days in a row.

This made Lei Jun's mentality gradually become impatient.

If he could hold on in the first few days, but at the end of the month, after the Tamron chip mobile phone is still shipped in unlimited quantities, he can no longer be indifferent.

The only thing left in his heart was to complain: "How many Tenglong chips did Ren Yuanwei hoard?"

Monday, October 10.

20 days after the launch of the exclusive version of the new mobile phone, Lei Jun finally announced the first round of price reduction, which was set at [-] yuan.

Although in order to take care of the emotions of users who bought at the original price, the company made up for it by reissuing gifts and giving coupons, but it is still difficult to cover up the doubts on the Internet.

"Is there any mistake? The mobile phone I just bought last week has been dropped by 500 yuan this week. It's disgusting here."

"This wave of price cuts is outrageous."

"Since we knew that this price would not sell, we shouldn't have set it so high. Now that it's all online and the price is suddenly lowered, the enthusiasm of old fans has been wiped out."

"If I knew it earlier, I should have bought Huawei's Tamron chip phone. This time I am really speechless."

"If you want to buy it, I suggest you wait. According to my inference, it is estimated that there will be another drop in a few days."

……

No one thought that, instead of improving the sales volume of mobile phones, the price reduction operation turned users who originally intended to buy mobile phones into waiting parties, thinking of waiting for the price to be lowered before buying.

Being so caught in a vicious circle, this phone is destined to become a disgrace in the company's development history.

-

Compared with various heated discussions overseas and on the Internet, the future technology at this time appears to be very calm.

In addition to dealing with the company's major affairs on a daily basis, Xu Lei is concerned about the construction of the company's headquarters park in the rest of the time, and he personally checks many aspects.

Make sure you can build the desired effect.

Since the area near Longhu Lake planned by Li Ming is still suitable for the construction of the park, after Xu Lei's decision, after the two parties formally signed the contract, it didn't take long to find a suitable construction team. tidy.

But Xu Lei's idea is to build the headquarters building in the park into the style of a space battleship like a science and technology museum, which requires a sufficiently high-level architectural designer to be responsible.

Just for this candidate, the company has used a lot of relationships.

But luckily found it in the end.

"Mr. Xu, our headquarters building is built right under your feet. I believe it will definitely be selected as a global landmark when it is completed."

This morning.

Binjiang City.

In the construction site of Future Science and Technology Longhu High-tech Park, a middle-aged man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a helmet holding a hand-painted design drawing introduced the details of each building to Xu Lei beside him.

"I can invite Designer Lin to help, how can I not believe it." Faced with Lin Haishan's words, Xu Lei immediately replied with a smile.

Then his eyes stayed on the design drawing, his eyes were full of admiration.

The identity of this Lin Haishan is a very famous architect in the world, and his works have won many awards. Although he has already announced his retirement, but because he is an old classmate with Yang Senping, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he agreed to future technology. invitation to design the headquarters building.

Speaking of which, Xu Lei was able to find the other party thanks to Yang Senping's introduction.

However, when Lin Haishan first came to Binjiang City, he just regarded this cooperation as a favor, and didn't really think about winning prizes or anything like that.

It wasn't until he learned about Xu Lei's idea of ​​the company's headquarters building that he became interested in building a warship headquarters building that would not lose to the Pingguo Spaceship Building.
