Rebuild 2005

Chapter 427 [427] Youth Edition
Wei Qingfan spoke very powerfully, but Zhang Yuanping obviously didn't feel infected, and his expression became more and more irritable, as if he was looking at an ignorant, willful, and arrogant child.

He took a deep breath, as if he was trying to control his emotions, and then said: "We can't sell products based on national sentiment... I still say that, 1999, do you think it's cheap?"

He stared at Wei Qingfan, "Yes, I know you are rich, and the money for this mobile phone is a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes in your eyes, Mr. Wei... But our country has more than one billion people! In 08 The annual per capita income is only 833 yuan! The average monthly income is only [-] yuan...

"We have to sell at least 30 mobile phones to avoid losing money. We have to take out 30 yuan from the pockets of 2000 people. They have to work for two and a half months without food or drink... Even if our No matter how luxurious and high-end the configuration is, does it make sense?"

Zhang Yuanping was clearly on the upswing. Wei Qingfan was about to speak when he continued emotionally: "If we sell less than 30 units, we will definitely lose money, and it will be a big loss... 30 units will only allow the company to continue to survive. That's all, how much money do you usually put in it?

"The domestic brand whose price is 2000 can be sold is Meizu, and you are also using M8... Which one do you think is better?"

This guy seems to have been holding back these words for a long time, and he was a little excited when he said it, but Wei Qingfan was still a little upset when he went to the office early in the morning to say such a thing, so he had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't get excited. .”

Zhang Yuanping sneered and said, "It's not that I'm losing money. I get a good salary every month. Why am I excited?"

His tone is still fierce, but these words can be regarded as euphemistic explanations, showing that he has a public heart.

Wei Qingfan said sternly: "First, you are in the business of products, not marketing, so you don't understand the sensation we caused by selling this mobile phone in 1999. Of course, we will use some methods to stir up the popularity. We must bring the heat up, this is directly related to our life and death.

"Second, even if this mobile phone loses money, I can still afford it. I have reserve funds. This is one of the reasons why I didn't promise you shares but dividends. I made a decision, and you just implement it."

Zhang Yuanping's expression became a little calmer, but he obviously didn't believe his judgment very much, but he didn't directly refute it either.

Wei Qingfan finished speaking with a bit of a cold attitude, then smiled, and said, "Third... you came here early in the morning to talk for a long time, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhang Yuanping took a breath, and then stated his purpose, saying: "We can't rely on this mobile phone for the survival of the company. Now that this mobile phone is basically completed, I suggest to make another version with a reduced configuration. The price is around 1500. Or cheaper, the cheaper the better."

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "I planned to do it at first. I'm afraid that you will be under too much pressure. I'm planning to mention it later."

Zhang Yuanping's expression finally calmed down, but he was a little skeptical, suspecting that he said this for the sake of face.

Wei Qingfan rolled his eyes helplessly, then beckoned.

Zhang Yuanping walked over, and Wei Qingfan opened a document, "The simplified version you mentioned, Guci Mobile 1 Youth Edition... tentatively scheduled to be released in the second half of next year, or at the end of the year, the screen should be smaller, the chip and The memory is compressed, other components can be shared, and the design can also be used in common, in short, the cost is shared as much as possible... The price is tentatively set at 1499 or lower at 1299."

The above document is the front view of the current Guci mobile phone, and the configuration shrinkage is written in detail.

Zhang Yuanping took a closer look, then paused again, and said, "If the cost is shared, the screen size can be fixed, so that even the mold doesn't need to be changed."

Wei Qingfan said unhappily, "Then those who bought the standard version in 1999 can feel at ease?"

Zhang Yuanping said: "At that time, they were almost sold, and the configurations were different. Not many people would worry about this... Anyway, they have already been sold, and the next generation of products will have to increase the screen, so it doesn't matter. "

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Didn't you feel compassionate just now? Why did you start selling it in a blink of an eye and forget about it?"

Zhang Yuan said expressionlessly: "The cost has been reduced, and it can be sold cheaper."

"We'll discuss this later."

Wei Qingfan curled his lips, opened another document, and said, "Since I said it, I just want to discuss next year's ancient poetry mobile phone. This project must be established as soon as possible, and the product must be polished and mature before it can be released."

Zhang Yuanping carefully looked at the design idea recorded in the document, and after looking at it for a while, he looked away and looked at Wei Qingfan in surprise.

Wei Qingfan laughed and said, "What are you doing, cult of personality?"

Zhang Yuanping didn't speak, thought for a few seconds, and said: "Let's discuss the reduced version first, one by one, wait for mass production and large-scale shipments, and then make ancient poetry mobile phones. Since you want to go high-end, reliability must be done. it is good."

"That's called the youth version, what is the reduced version? It's so ugly..."

Wei Qingfan curled his lips, "I'll send you the idea of ​​the youth version, you can take a look, and call me when you go back to the meeting."

"Row."

Zhang Yuanping left satisfied, and Wei Qingfan had time to look at his internal testing machine.

The phone was already on the boot activation interface, so he turned it off and on again.

Although the material and workmanship bring a certain sense of cheapness, it is a new mobile phone after all, coupled with the simple appearance design, regardless of the hand feel, even from the eyes of Wei Qingfan's later generations, the appearance is actually very good.

The integration of the black panel in the off-screen state is very good, and the three off-white touch buttons at the bottom also look unobtrusive. As the screen slowly lights up, the white "word" logo emerges, which looks very delicate.

The boot ringtone has not been selected, so the beta version has not been added, the white logo lights up and goes out, and then the red seal logo of the Luoshen system appears, and the bottom is the description of "deep customization based on the Android system", and then this line is printed, Luoshen The seal began to inject ink, and it turned into white, and a white horizontal progress bar appeared slightly lower.

"good……"

Wei Qingfan rubbed his chin and grunted, waited for the phone to turn on again, entered the boot activation interface, and after selecting one by one, finally appeared the default desktop of Luoshen system, which was already recognizable by quite a few circles at a glance, with blue and black distant mountains wallpaper There are skeuomorphic icons with rounded rectangles on the top, which look fresh and simple.

Wei Qingfan lightly pressed the power button, and the screen quickly closed from the upper and lower ends to the middle. After a bright light moved, it went out with a "click".

"It's okay..."

He nodded, turned on the screen, turned it off, and so on several times, then turned on the software, tested the fluency, and turned on the camera.

In order to eliminate hardware problems as much as possible, the mobile phone still uses the Luoshen 1.4 system that is now open for flashing instead of the Luoshen 2.0 that will be used when it is officially released. Wei Qingfan used it for a short time and did not have any bugs.

After thinking for a while, he took out his M8, lifted the back cover skillfully, and put the SIM card into the Guci phone.

It does not support switching on the phone to change the SIM card, so it has to be turned off and restarted. Fortunately, when changing the card, the battery can be pulled out by the way, and it can be turned on directly.

The phone has built-in QQ, and after re-logging in, Wei Qingfan sent a message to Li Miaoyu and Li Wanyi respectively: "I am sending you a message using the Guci mobile phone that is about to lead the smartphone revolution!"

Li Miaoyu was supposed to be seriously attending class, but she didn't reply, but Li Wanyi replied quickly: "There is no sign like QQ for iPhone."

Wei Qingfan: "...Don't pay attention to these details."

Li Wanyi: "How nice to have this logo."

Wei Qingfan: "If people don't adapt it, what can we do? One day in the future we will have our own system, maybe there will be."

Li Wanyi: "When will that be?"

Wei Qingfan: "Sooner or later there will be."

He chatted with Li Wanyi for a while, and someone knocked on the door outside, and then a quiet and sweet face appeared, and said softly: "Boss Wei, do you have time now? Do you want to have a meeting now?"

This is Zhang Linlin, an employee of the hardware department. There are relatively few female hardware engineers in the company and in the industry. She was recruited from within the second year of graduation. She has good ability and personality, which is very important to Zhang Yuanping. When she came to ask, it was naturally Zhang Yuanping. the meaning of.

"I'm going over here."

Wei Qingfan responded, talked to Li Wanyi, and then went to the conference room.

In the hardware department, the main thing is to test the ancient word mobile phone, followed by the establishment of the youth version. According to the order of thousands of characters set by Wei Qingfan, the internal code name of this product is "Dizihao".

"In addition to the mobile phone, there is also... the back cover, don't forget, change a few more colors... and the colored battery, you can also change it, you can change it anyway."

Before the end, Wei Qingfan mentioned this matter again, and then someone naturally arranged it.

"Yesterday, the number of users of the Luoshen system officially exceeded 7. This is a remarkable achievement, and it can be seen from the table that the number of users has been growing rapidly, and the growth rate is still increasing..."

Then there was a meeting in the software department, hosted by Tang Tingyue, who first reported the situation, Wei Qingfan took the lead in applauding and congratulating, followed by discussions on the application market, Lingxi Voice and Luoshen 2.0, which lasted for more than an hour before ending.

After the meeting, Wei Qingfan continued to deal with trivial matters, and only went back to school two days later to clean his face.

The students in the class are used to his elusiveness. At first, they were surprised not to see him, and then they were surprised to see him. Now it doesn’t matter whether they see him or not. .

Regarding what Wei Qingfan is doing, after such a long time, it has become almost transparent. We all know that he participated in the development of "Stupid Birds Fly First". Fruit", and the "Luoshen System", which many people have heard of, are all made by the company called Gushici.

Although such a company is said to have just been established, it looks like it has a bright future. Wei Qingfan can work as an intern in the company before he graduates, and it seems that he can officially join the company after graduation, which is naturally the envy of many people. .

In this regard, there are also some rumors such as "Wei Qingfan's family is very rich", "the elders know the boss", "it's not the favor of the elders, why do they want him to be an undergraduate who hasn't graduated yet".

Wei Qingfan didn't know about this, because Jiang Qinghuai, who would tell him these things before, had a strange attitude towards him during this time, and seemed to have become a lot alienated, and rarely took the initiative to chat with him anymore. , That is to say, with a slight smile and hello.

For him, this is a good thing. After all, the two in the family are quite sensitive to the name Jiang Qinghuai, and she is working part-time in the company again, so he has a bad reputation, so it is safer to keep a little distance.

The weather became colder and colder every day, the 15th officially entered the twelfth lunar month, and it snowed on the second day of the junior high school. Wei Qingfan went to the library of Peking University to pick up Li Miaoyu at night. On the way, Li Miaoyu told Li Shuqing about his visit to the capital.

　A little late, sorry~
