Technology: Starting from selling mobile phones

Chapter 61 Samsung's Screen

"I was wrong, Mr. Mo! I was really wrong!"

"I'm just trying to pretend, I swear... I never thought about changing jobs, I never thought about leaving the company!"

In Mo Ran's office, the door was closed, and Hao Keji kept explaining with a sad face.

He just wanted to show off in front of Jiang Lan, but he didn't expect it to turn into a large-scale social death scene.

Mo Ran sat on the chair and glanced at Hao Jieji coldly, with a stern face. Everyone could see that he was very unhappy at the moment.

"Hehe, didn't they give you an annual salary of 60? Why don't you go?"

Hao Keji was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"Mr. Mo, they asked me to optimize the game 'Glory of the King'."

"But I know myself, how can I have this ability!"

'Luban No. [-]' can run King of Glory so smoothly, it's all thanks to you, and thanks to the optimization program you provided! "

Mo Ran snorted coldly.

He is also very clear in his heart that once a small company like Nietzsche has a slightly popular product, it will inevitably lead to poaching by other big companies, which is unavoidable.

but.

Hao Keji secretly went out to meet the HR of another company during work, and even publicized it. Obviously, this cannot be easily dismissed.

He looked at Hao Keji coldly.

"Absent from work without reason, don't even think about the three-month bonus, do you have any objections?"

The corners of Hao Keji's mouth were crooked in pain, but he still shook his head again and again.

"No opinion, no opinion..."

see.

Mo Ran didn't intend to let it go, his eyes became even colder.

"The ugly words are up front. If you want to resign, you can tell me well. I won't make things difficult for you."

"But... don't blame me for being rude to you if you make small moves behind your back and use your brains."

"Do you still remember the non-compete agreement and confidentiality agreement signed?"

Hao Keke was shocked and said hurriedly:

"Remember, remember, of course remember!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Mo, I really never thought of leaving my job, I really didn't want to leave you..."

Mo Ran snorted again, and his expression finally softened.

After a long time, he said seriously:
"It's not an example."

Hao Keji heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Mo Ran suddenly continued to ask:

"How is the design plan for the third mobile phone I gave you more than half a month ago?"

"You didn't do it, did you?"

How could Hao Keji dare to be negligent at this time, and hurriedly said:

"Mr. Mo, you are wronged!"

"Since you gave me the blueprint last time, I've been busy these days!"

"I will report to you now..."

"There are probably three problems I have yet to solve. One is the OLED screen of the mobile phone, the other is the 'face recognition' function on the design drawing, and the assembly process of the mobile phone."

"Manager Wang of the assembly process is negotiating with the foundry, but for 'face recognition' and Oled screens, we have contacted many domestic solution providers, but they cannot achieve the desired results."

Mo Ran knocked on the table lightly.

"Let's talk about the 'face recognition' function first."

Hao Keji nodded, then trotted back to the office and brought out a stack of information and handed it to Mo Ran.

"It's like this, Mr. Mo. Compared with the 'face recognition' technology on the design drawings, mainstream mobile phones in the market now use fingerprints to unlock."

"Fingerprint unlocking is not only relatively simple, but also has high accuracy and lower cost.

The "face recognition" technology has no advantage over fingerprint unlocking except that it looks more convenient and high-end, and the market has not been popularized at all. "

"So... although we contacted a number of 'face recognition' solution providers, none of them achieved the functional effects on the design drawings."

Mo Ran nodded slightly.

In his impression, the "face recognition" technology actually became popular only after Apple applied it on the Iphone X, and Android manufacturers gradually followed up.

It is normal for the "face recognition" supporting solution to be immature at this time.

but.

For him, this is not a problem.

"I'll figure out how to deal with the face recognition function. What about the OLED screen?"

"Because the screen properties required on the design drawings are a 5.8-inch super-retina OLED display, and the four corners of the screen are still arc-shaped,

And there is a small notch at the top for the camera and facial recognition sensors. "

"Such a special-shaped screen cannot be made by a small factory. Even when we contacted BOE, they also said that the appearance can be made, but the parameters cannot meet such high requirements!"

Mo Ran couldn't help but frown.

Even BOE, the largest company in China, can’t make a screen for Iphone X?
“What we know now is that the only one that can make a screen with exactly the same performance is Samsung.”

"only……"

"Just what?"

Hao Keji sighed slightly.

"Samsung said that such a special-shaped screen needs to be customized, and it is expensive, and at least 100 million pieces need to be customized!"

100 yuan!
Mo Ran didn't even need to ask the price of each screen, a simple calculation showed that the order must be hundreds of millions!
Such an order is easy for the giant Apple, but for Nietzsche, it is tantamount to an astronomical sum!
His face darkened, he didn't expect that even if he got the blueprint of Iphone X, it would be so difficult to really imitate Iphone X 1:1!

I have to say that Apple’s technology moat is really not that high!
At this moment, Hao Keji went on to say:

"Of course, if we can lower some screen performance standards, the price should come down a lot."

"Besides, BOE can also do it."

Mo Ran thought for a moment and shook his head.

"It's not urgent, I'll think about it."

"Ok!"

After the two communicated, Mo Ran had a general understanding of the problems encountered in developing new mobile phones.

While he was still immersed in how to solve the screen problem, Hao Keji suddenly continued:

"Mr. Mo, didn't you ask me to seize the pain points of the market last time and give full play to our own advantages and selling points?"

"I also thought of some good ideas for the new phone."

"What idea?"

Mo Ran's attention immediately shifted.

Hao Keji didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said:

"Next month, that is, in September, Iphone 9 will be officially released."

"This time Iphone 7 has decided to cancel the 3.5mm headphone jack, so I suddenly thought of a good idea!"

“Apple’s cancellation of the 3.5mm headphone jack is purely to promote their Lightning headphones and their upcoming Airpods Bluetooth headphones!”

“However, this will undoubtedly be extremely inconvenient for users of traditional headphones!”

"So, I think this is the pain point of the market!"

Mo Ran's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Hao Keji coldly.

"A headphone jack, is this what you call a market pain point?"
