Chapter 144 Bluetooth Chip Testing
"And in a sense, this is not a bad thing. If you lose other sales channels, you will have no way out. Concentrating your energy and running the Ruida Mall well is the best solution. Of course, this is our future Regarding the development strategy, we should now communicate with Taobao officials and file lawsuits. Such an operation that clearly violates the contract must not be tolerated, otherwise others will think that we, Ruida Technology, are easy to bully."

Hearing Qiao Ruida's analysis, everyone's tension suddenly relaxed and everyone expressed their own opinions.

"When I heard the news just now, I was extremely nervous. You must know that when I joined Reda Technology, the Taobao store was still the company's only sales channel. At that time, the first thing I did when I went to work every day was to open Taobao Wangwang. Respond to various questions raised by customers. Now that I heard that Taobao is going to block our online store, I have an illusion of impending disaster. After the boss reminded me, I realized that our current business focus has long been transferred to Ruida Mall. The few sales orders from the Taobao store account for only a few tenths of all orders, so why am I so nervous?"

"The boss is right. Ruida Mall is our foundation. As long as we build Ruida Mall, we will be invincible. Other sales channels are just icing on the cake. Performance will look better if it is gone. It won’t break your muscles or bones.”

"The company has been established for more than half a year, and our legal department has not yet opened. I can only do drafting contracts and reviewing contract terms every day, which is really boring. This time I can finally show off my skills in the lawsuit with Ali."

Everyone discussed for a while, and the first weekly meeting after the new year ended. Everyone hurried out of the conference room and returned to their respective offices. At the beginning of the new year, there were still many matters waiting for them to deal with.Qiao Ruida and Liu Jiayu walked at the end. Before leaving, Qiao Ruida seemed to have remembered something and said: "Sister Liu, when recruiting people this time, remember to recruit some mobile phone hardware and software R&D talents. The more the better."

Hearing Qiao Ruida's instructions, Liu Jiayu didn't feel too surprised. A few years ago, Qiao Ruida had said that he was going to build a smartphone, and now it was the right time to recruit relevant R&D talents. "Boss, are you going to start a smartphone research and development project?"

Qiao Ruida nodded and said: "Yes, the explosion of smart phones has begun to take shape last year, which can be seen from the hot sales of Apple 4 mobile phones. Think about it, we have a population of 14 billion in China, if everyone has a How many mobile phones will be needed? If every person in the world has one, what a huge market it will be. Just thinking about it makes people excited. This is a big blue ocean, and a capable company, who doesn’t want to Participate and get a share of the pie. Judging from the news I have received, many large domestic companies that produce electronic products and home appliances are doing research and development related to smartphones and are preparing to launch smartphone products of their own brands. If we don’t hurry up, even if After developing mobile phone products, we can only follow other companies and eat scraps."

"Recruiting mobile phone R&D talents, right? I understand. We are in Beijing, and there is no shortage of all kinds of talents. As long as you are willing to pay high wages, you can always find talents who meet the requirements. But those in the human resources department don't understand mobile phone hardware. I don’t know how to program, so when it comes to the interview, I still need you, boss, to send some knowledgeable people to check it.”

"That's no problem. There are still a lot of professionals in the R&D department. I'll just send a few over to you when the time comes."

After separating from Liu Jiayu, Qiao Ruida did not return to her office, but went directly to the R&D department.The Bluetooth chip designed a few years ago has been successfully taped out at SMIC and passed all tests at once without any bugs.The test was successful in just one tape-out. Even if the preliminary test passed, this is a very rare thing in the field of chip design. It really surprised the engineers of SMIC.They went out of their way to check which company had sent the chip design drawings, and found out that it was from an e-commerce company. At that moment, the engineers almost dropped their jaws.

The chip tape-out test was completed during the Chinese New Year. By the time Ruida Technology started work today, hundreds of qualified chips had been delivered to the company.When Qiao Ruida walked into the R&D department, there were dozens of hardware engineers holding soldering irons, soldering chips and electronic components, and building test circuits.

"Mr. Qiao, you are here." "Boss, happy New Year!"

Seeing Qiao Ruida arriving, some engineers who were temporarily out of work greeted him one after another.Qiao Ruida smiled and nodded in response, then came to the workbench and asked, "I'm busy right now. Manager Xiao, do you have a soldered circuit board? Can it be connected normally and make a sound?"

Jamel Xiao put down the heat gun in his hand, gave up his position to a colleague next to him, and then answered: "The circuit boards of two Bluetooth speakers have been welded, and the firmware is being copied in. In a moment, the Bluetooth connection will be available. and music playback tests.”

While talking, Xiao Jamsheng brought Qiao Ruida to another workbench. On this workbench, there were two computers. Two engineers were making some modifications and packages to the firmware program written years ago, and then copied it. into the chip.The initial version of the firmware was written by Qiao Ruida, mainly for Bluetooth headsets.The two products being tested now are both Bluetooth speakers, one mono channel and one dual channel.The firmware they require is somewhat different from that of Bluetooth headsets, so they need to be modified in a targeted manner and add some new functions.

Qiao Ruida and Xiao Jingsheng did not interrupt the work of the two engineers, but stood behind them and waited for more than ten minutes.Until they completed the modification of the firmware and copied the modified firmware into the chip.Then Qiao Ruida and seven or eight engineers went into battle, connected the batteries and speakers to the two circuit boards, and then pressed the power button.The next moment, the blue LED indicator light began to flash, the circuit started to work, and after a short startup music, a female voice sounded, "Bluetooth mode, waiting for access."

Qiao Ruida took out her mobile phone, turned on the Bluetooth option, added new devices, and soon found two new playback devices.He selected the two-channel speaker to connect. The screen information changed and showed that pairing was in progress. Two seconds later, it showed that the connection was successful.Qiao Ruida opened the music player software and chose the song "Hotel California" to play.The next moment, the sound of applause and guitar sounded from the two speakers, the sound quality was clear and pure, without any noise.
