Technology: Starting from selling mobile phones

Chapter 45 Mo Ran, I'm going on a blind date.

Guangzhou, Shenzhen.

Huawei headquarters.

He Xiaoyang, as one of the top engineers of Huawei Group and the head of the mobile operating system R&D department,

I am discussing with my assistant the latest progress of a mobile phone operating system independently developed by Huawei.

"Xiao Liu, did the high-level leaders discuss the results of today's meeting?"

"What is the final name of the operating system we are developing?"

The assistant Xiao Liu on the side smiled wryly and shook his head.

"not yet."

"However, I heard that several alternative names have been decided on this time, but the final one is still undecided."

"Oh? Let's hear about the alternative names."

Xiao Liu hummed and said:

"Many people agree to name it 'Kaitian', and some senior officials think that the name 'Ark' is a good name, but it is said that the biggest voice is still-'Hongmeng'."

"Hongmeng OS?!"

"It's a good name indeed."

But after a moment, he suddenly smiled bitterly and laughed at himself:
"This name is very appropriate for the situation of our operating system. Our operating system is indeed in the early stage of chaos like Hongmeng, with no sunshine in sight."

"I don't know... when it will be commercially available on the market."

Assistant Xiao Liu suddenly felt embarrassed. After a slight pause for a few seconds, he comforted:
"Mr. Xiaoyang, our current Android-based EMUI system is really good... There is no reason for the top management to switch to a new system."

"I know!"

He Xiaoyang nodded, of course he knew the truth.

For a long time, Huawei has only used the new system as a backup internally, besides...

To be honest, the new system is indeed inferior to the Android system in terms of performance, stability, and compatibility.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, and a familiar and unfamiliar name suddenly came to mind.

autumn wind.

"If we can contact Qiufeng and communicate with him about system optimization, our new system will surely perform better."

He Xiaoyang sighed, and after a while, he looked at his assistant Xiao Liu.

"Xiao Liu, I asked you to contact Frontier Technology two days ago to ask for Qiu Feng's contact information. Did they reply?"

"I just responded today."

""Frontier Technology" said that they don't have the specific contact information of Qiufeng..."

"And they specifically emphasized that they have given the Qiufeng Forum invitation code, but it seems that the Qiufeng boss has not registered yet."

He Xiaoyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He also had psychological expectations about this matter. After all, the "Frontier Technology" forum is a forum that can only be registered with an invitation code.
Once a new user registers, the latest registered name and ID can be seen in the forum.

Obviously, Qiu Feng is not among the newly registered users.

"Forget it, I guess this Qiufeng boss should be a senior engineer abroad, and I probably don't want to reveal too much personal information."

After saying this, he opened the "Frontier Technology" forum.

"I haven't visited the forum for two days. I'm afraid the forum is even more lively now."

Soon, the website opens.

He Xiaoyang began to carefully read the latest posts in the forum.

really.

In less than three seconds, he had discovered several posts in the forum about Qiu Feng and discussions about "Underlying Optimization Logic of Android System".

This is not surprising.

You must know that we are still in the era of Android 6.0. There is still a big gap between Android and Apple's IOS. Moreover, the public's impression of Android is still that it is not smooth and will get stuck after a few years.

and so.

Over the years, the top priority of major mobile phone manufacturers for the system is still to optimize smoothness and ensure no lags.

The "Underlying Optimization Logic of Android System" published by Qiu Feng is obviously one of the optimization directions that many manufacturers urgently need.

But looking at it, He Xiaoyang's face changed slightly.

In the latest post, he knows many people!

“Isn’t the person who posted this post exactly He Chao from Xiaomi?”

"And this...isn't it Wei Ming from Viov?!"

"I didn't expect them to notice this article, and they were also looking for Qiufeng's contact information..."

"Besides, this is just a post, I'm afraid there are more people paying attention in the dark!"

Thinking of this, He Xiaoyang suddenly felt a little nervous, and hurriedly turned to look at the assistant.

"Xiao Liu, from today on, you will help me keep an eye on the forum every day. If Boss Qiufeng registers, notify me immediately!"

"it is good!"

……

the other side.

Just as He Xiaoyang guessed, there are not a few people who pay attention to Qiu Feng because of the technical document "Underlying Optimization Logic of Android System".

At this time, the domestic software development industry was far less developed than in later generations. The technical personnel of most companies were only domestic talents, and there was very little communication with each other.

He Chao, the leader of the third group of Xiaomi Group's R&D department, also noticed the existence of Qiufeng.

Just after twelve o'clock at noon, He Chao, who had been busy for a long time, opened the "Frontier Technology" forum and once again refreshed the list of the latest registered users.

"Still not registered!"

He Chao let out a breath of disappointment.

He and Huawei's He Xiaoyang have basically the same judgment. He also believes that Qiufeng should be a senior engineer abroad, and it may be more mysterious because it is inconvenient to reveal his real name for some reason.

Because of this, he admired even more, and even adored this mysterious Qiufeng boss.

He sighed with emotion, and at this moment, his immediate boss, Mr. Xiao from the Technology Research and Development Department, walked in.

"A Chao, a new research and development task."

He Chao was stunned for a moment, and then took the information handed over by his boss, Mr. Xiao.

A closer look, a little surprised.

"Mr. Xiao, wasn't the second team working on optimizing 'Honor of Kings' before?"

"Why did you give us three groups?"

Mr. Xiao smiled and said:

"The second team has other projects temporarily, what's wrong? Don't you three teams have the confidence to optimize the 'Honor of Kings'?"

"This may be related to the next game phone launched by the product department specially for 'Honor of Kings'!"

He Chao smiled, but he knew about this.

Not long ago, a special mobile phone for playing "Honor of Kings" was launched on the market. What is it said...

Luban No. [-]? !
Sales are very good.

To this end, the product department quickly established a project team and is also preparing to launch a dedicated mobile phone for "Honor of Kings".

"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, leave it to me. Isn't it just a game optimization of 'Glory of the King'?"

"By the way, I remember that the competing product I was referring to was... Luban No. [-]?"

Mr. Xiao also laughed, nodded and said:

"Well, Nietzsche's mobile phone, Luban No. [-]!"

"The requirement of the product department this time is that the optimization of the new mobile phone system to 'Glory of the King' can reach the level of Nietzsche's mobile phone."

"Nietzsche mobile phone..."

He Chao nodded confidently.

"Don't worry, just leave it to us."

After saying this, seeing that his immediate boss, Mr. Xiao, was about to leave, He Chao suddenly asked again.

"Mr. Xiao, can you tell us what new projects the second team has?"

Mr. Xiao stopped and turned his head.

"Last year, the sales of our Redmi series tablets were not good. Whether they were self-operated or third-party platforms, they were suppressed by Lenovo and Huawei."

"This time the senior management wants to re-launch a tablet computer. I just heard that our Redmi and Pinxixi have reached an agreement and are preparing to open a store on Pinxixi..."

"So, the second team is going to help Redmi develop a brand new tablet this time, and work through several channels to regain the market!"

He Chao was stunned.

Red rice?

Fighting Xixi?
tablet?

He couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Isn't the Redmi Tablet killing people randomly? Especially in Pinxixi, isn't that a dimensionality reduction blow?!"

……

June [-]rd.

Things are already moving fast for Nietzsche's first tablet computer, the Morning Light.

At the same time, the financial statements for the previous months are also compiled.

At present, there are only two types of Nietzsche mobile phones.

"Nietzsche A7" was officially launched in February, with a sales volume of 10700 units and a net profit of 105 million.

In March, the sales volume of "Nietzsche A7" reached 15000 units, with a net profit of 150 million yuan.

In April and May, although "Nietzsche A7" was affected by the replacement promotion of Jinli and Kupai, the sales volume remained at 14000 units and 11500 units, and the overall profit reached 260 million.

Sales are good though.

But Mo Ran also noticed that after three months of hot sales of the "Nietzsche A7", sales inevitably fluctuated downwards.

According to the current momentum, the "Nietzsche A7" can probably maintain good sales for about half a year, and then it may continue to decline.

But this is normal. This is the normal sales cycle of a mobile phone.

After making a mental note to ask Hao Technology to start the "Nietzsche A7" replacement work in two months, he looked at the sales of the "Luban [-]" mobile phone launched just last month.

"Luban No. 30900" sold a total of [-] units.

To Mo Ran's surprise, the best-selling product was the 599 yuan [Play Edition].

but.

Because the profits of the 1499 yuan and 1999 yuan configurations are higher, the final total profit reached 600 million yuan.

So far, excluding the official sponsorship fee for "Glory of the King", Nietzsche has a net profit of nearly 850 million yuan!

What makes Mo Ran even more happy is that the system points have reached 300 million points!
According to the current rate of earning points, he will be able to purchase some designated technologies in a short time!
Apart from being happy, Mo Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Now Nietzsche is finally on the right track.

But soon.

His thoughts returned to several newly acquired technologies, and he thought of the journal "Frontiers of Science".

He already knew the news that the two scientific papers were selected last time. At the same time, he once again received an invitation code letter from the column team.

He was not very interested in the forum or the invitation code to register, so he simply looked at it and closed it directly.

However, now there is a new problem in front of him.

This time, the system rewarded him with several technologies. If he published them all at once, it would probably arouse suspicion.

After thinking about it, Mo Ran decided not to publish other technologies for the time being, but to write out the "3D face recognition technology" first.

Just do what you want, and three hours later, an article titled "Technical Conjecture on Face 3D Recognition Technology" was written.

This time, he was not in a hurry to submit.

After standing up and stretching, a familiar figure suddenly appeared outside the office door.

He felt a thump in his heart, and then, a faint scent of fragrance drifted in.

It is gentle.

The office door was gently closed, and she walked over with a fresh and ladylike gentleness.

"younger brother……"

"Are you free tonight?"

Wen Wan was still so gentle, and her big eyes looked at Mo Ran expectantly.

Mo Ran fell silent.

If it had been in the past, he would have refused without hesitation.

but……

Since Wen Wan helped him contact the King of Glory staff last time, unknowingly, he and Wen Wan had more contact with each other.

He took a deep breath, then raised his head and asked:
"What's wrong, Wen Wan."

Wen Wan laughed.

"Let's have a meal together, just as you repay my last favor."

……

The headquarters of Nietzsche Mobile is located in the West District of Chengdu, while the most prosperous areas of Chengdu are in the South District and East District.

Mo Ran originally thought that Wen Wan would go to the bustling south, but he didn't expect Wen Wan to stop by a restaurant not far from the company just after the car started.

"That's it."

"okay!"

Mo Ran naturally had no objection. After a simple dinner, Wen Wan stood up and proposed:

"Brother, let's go for a walk?"

"Aren't you going home?"

"Come with me."

Mo Ran suddenly felt something was wrong, but before he had time to think about it, Wen Wan had already quietly walked ahead.

He hurriedly followed, initially still resisting, but the evening breeze blew by, the moonlight reflected, and the shadows of the two of them overlapped slightly.
At this moment, his heart suddenly felt calmer than ever before.

In the past few months, he has been busy with the affairs of Nietzsche's company almost every day, and he dare not relax for a moment.

Looking at the gentle moonlight in front of him, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Maybe, it's just fine as it is."

But at this moment, Wen Wan suddenly stopped.

Under the moonlight, she looked at Mo Ran affectionately, after a long time.

"Brother, I'm 28 this year."

"I'm going on a blind date."
