Rebuild 2005

Coming out of Gushici Company, the setting sun was shining brightly outside, shining on the tall buildings and the number of roadsides. The weather was fine. When he set off for Gushici in the afternoon, Jiang Qinghuai was still feeling like this.

Although the weather in summer is changeable, at least today's weather is very good. The difference is that when she came here, she had faint joy and suppressed expectations in her heart, and everything in front of her was so lively and lovely.

But now, she is standing downstairs looking at the same street, the same building, the same trees and the same sunlight, but these have nothing to do with her.

My mind was empty and I couldn't tell what I was feeling.

He is not his boyfriend, why should he be sad about it?
On the contrary, shouldn't it be something to be happy about discovering Wei Qingfan's true face before he got deeper into it?
Standing downstairs, she looked at the big parasol next to her and the tables and chairs underneath, and suddenly felt an impulse in her heart. She wanted to call Wei Qingfan, ask him to come down, ask him face to face, and ask him what happened. Is not such a person.

As soon as this thought came out, it seemed hard to suppress, so strong that it seemed that he wanted to take action immediately, but his mind and body seemed to be separated, thinking like this in his heart, but his body just stood stiffly in a daze.

She was stunned for a while, then walked towards the exit with a blank face, waited for the bus, and took the bus back to school.

What does this have to do with me?

……

If Wei Qingfan didn't come to the company, he naturally had nothing to do, but since he came to the company, things would naturally come to him.

This is not metaphysics, it is the workplace.

The foundry is working hard on production, and the telecom version is preparing to be launched. Naturally, there will be no separate press conference, but the same promotional banner on the official website and the mall. The time is set for next Monday. Currently, the publicity is ready and distribution to channels.

The design of the youth version is still in progress, and the overall specifications have been basically determined. The shape will be directly mated with dolls, and even the mold does not need to be changed, which can save costs to the greatest extent. discuss.

Wei Qingfan is considering downgrading the running memory to 256M, but he is worried that it will be very slow, and as the purchase volume increases, the price of 512M running memory will also drop in the second half of the year, so he is still "downgrading the running memory specification" And "keep 512M running memory, but replace it with another domestic supplier with lower quality and lower price".

This is not something he can decide as soon as he comes back. When he sits down in the office, it is mainly to sign and review as a human seal. This is boring and cumbersome, but it is indispensable.

Li Wanyi took a look at him, then went to say hello to Wei Qingchan and Gao Shuxin.

Before Li Wanyi came back, Lin Ting, the person in charge of marketing, came over first and reminded: "Mr. Wei, it's almost there. If you wait any longer, there will be no heat. You can send it out today."

Wei Qingfan nodded and said, "Then I'll post it at night, and when will I go to donate?"

"Two days, not more than three days, the proof of donation must be sent out."

"Row."

Lin Ting reminded the details again, and soon Zhang Yuanping came over, and left in a hurry.

As soon as Zhang Yuanping came in, Wei Qingfan knew from his expression that something was wrong, but when the other party spoke, he was still very depressed: "I know the performance of those chips from MediaTek, no, it's too bad."

The downgrading of the youth version's processor is the key point. Wei Qingfan's determined direction is to use MediaTek's processor. With hundreds of chips in a mobile phone, it is reasonable to purchase products from many suppliers.

However, Qualcomm has a package discount. Although this package discount is basically equivalent to forcing buyers to buy other Qualcomm products, there are not many companies with options under the pressure of Qualcomm taxes.

——"Qualcomm tax" is a common name for Qualcomm's huge patent fees. The public is familiar with it in the 4G and 5G era, because of the patent lawsuits of Apple, Samsung, Huawei and other companies. weakened.

At this time, not many people knew about the Qualcomm tax. On the one hand, it was because smartphones were not popular yet, and information dissemination was not so convenient. On the other hand, Qualcomm was too powerful.

In terms of communication patents, in the 5G era, Huawei is the first, accounting for 14%, and Qualcomm is second, accounting for 9.8%;

In the 4G era, Qualcomm ranked first, accounting for 14%, InterDigital P and InterDigital T held 13% and 10% respectively, and all three were ugly Chinese companies; followed by Huawei with 8% and ZTE with 7%;

In the 3G era, which has just begun to become popular, there is only one sentence for Qualcomm: I am not targeting anyone, I mean everyone here is rubbish!
In the CDMA2000 standard, Qualcomm's patents accounted for as high as 29%, in an absolute dominant position and a proper monopoly.

Therefore, in this period, as long as you sell 3G mobile phones, as long as you use the CDMA standard, then I am sorry, Qualcomm treats them equally and charges 5% of the mobile phone price.

There is no patent dispute, and everyone pays the money obediently on the ground.

Take Guci mobile phones as an example, they also have to pay Qualcomm tax, but Qualcomm has kindly given a discount, as long as you use my chip-I have what you need, I will pack it for you in a set, and you buy it , the patent fee is included in it.

If I have a certain chip, but you buy someone else's, I'm sorry, it's business, and the patent fee is calculated separately... The difference is so huge that it is definitely enough for all manufacturers to obediently buy the package.

So, either buy Qualcomm's packaged set, or don't buy any of the set, just buy another one, and then pay tax according to 5% of the selling price.

Unless you are Huawei and ZTE, you also have patents in your hands, and you can use patent cards to authorize each other, otherwise you have no other choice.

Naturally, Wei Qingfan bought a package, but the youth version couldn't buy a Qualcomm processor, which was too expensive. There was also an MSN7225 processor to choose from, but it was released in 07, and the main frequency was only 320M, which was too weak.

In addition, he wanted to have a good relationship with Qualcomm, and he didn't want to be pinched by Qualcomm alone, so he had to introduce MediaTek to maintain competition. Although MediaTek was beaten to the ground by Qualcomm for a long time afterwards, but There is a difference between having MediaTek and not having MediaTek.

What's more, Qualcomm's advantage is not very great at this time.

"It's said to be the youth version, and the performance is of course weaker."

Wei Qingfan was a little helpless to Zhang Yuanping's reaction, "If the performance is the same, will anyone still buy the standard version?"

Zhang Yuanping said: "But it's too weak, it will get stuck."

"It's okay, we can optimize it."

Wei Qingfan is familiar with this, and replied smoothly, "When the time comes, we will simplify the youth version of the system and delete some performance-hungry functions, so that we can maintain smoothness."

Seeing Zhang Yuanping's confused expression, he gave an example: "For example, we have motion and light effects on the lock screen, right? This must be performance-intensive, and if the performance is not enough, it will freeze, so we will delete this effect, so that Wouldn't it be smooth?"

Zhang Yuanping said angrily, "Then it's just a waste of time?"

"Youth version, it is the version with reduced configuration, so you have to widen the gap, otherwise there are two people, one bought the youth version, and the other bought the high-end version for a few hundred dollars more, and the result is the same, the person who bought the high-end version will how to think?"

Wei Qingfan explained very seriously, "If things go on like this, will people who buy high-end equipment buy high-end equipment next time? Only when there is a gap, people who buy high-end equipment will feel at ease, and will continue to buy high-end equipment next time. Those who match will try their best to buy high-end matches next time..."

Zhang Yuanping frowned, sighed and said, "Should the hardware and software shrink?"

"Yes, this will be the case for all future products."

"When the ancient poetry mobile phone comes out, the software experience of the ancient poetry mobile phone will also be castrated?"

"Of course, otherwise, how would the price difference between ancient poems and ancient words be reflected?"

"What about the advertisement?"

"Of course, the more expensive the phone, the less."

"Aren't you streamlining according to performance now?"

"It's all about experience."

Wei Qingfan also sighed, "Brother, we sell mobile phones, so don't worry about it?"

Zhang Yuanping naturally understands this truth, but it is obviously still a bit difficult to accept. He looked at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of being scolded then?"

"What you pay for is what you experience. If the knife technique is not accurate, big things will happen in the future. You should know this better than me."

"..."

Zhang Yuanping was silent for a few seconds, "Then which one should we use?"

"The one with the best value for money."

Wei Qingfan spread his hands, "As for which one is the most cost-effective, you should list the data for me first... Of course, not only you, but also the procurement side, you should list the available processor models first, and let the procurement Let’s talk over there and we can make a decision.”

Zhang Yuanping didn't speak anymore, turned his head and left, obviously displeased with Wei Qingfan's way of forcefully slashing a knife, he had never thought of cutting a knife in the software experience before.

But I have to admit that from the company's point of view, this is a good decision, which is to force consumers to buy high-end models.

After a while, Tang Tingyue sent a message on QQ: "Did Lao Zhang not know about the need to castrate the software experience?"

Wei Qingfan: "I guess I don't care."

Wei Qingfan: "He went looking for you?"

Tang Tingyue: "Well, I praise you for being a business genius."

Wei Qingfan: "Are you calling me black-hearted and shameless?"

Tang Tingyue: "No, I just want to praise you as a business genius."

Wei Qingfan: "..."

Li Wanyi didn't know why she went there, she only came here when she was about to get off work, and she knocked on the door solemnly, and waited for Wei Qingfan to say "come in" before she opened the door and came in.

She was wearing light blue jeans and light orange chiffon short sleeves with ruffles, her long black hair was loosely scattered, and her two small hands were behind her back. She knocked on the door, but she came in with a sneaky and sneaky attitude. , When walking, the knees bend down a lot, and the upper body looks like bouncing and jumping, beautiful, charming, funny, but also delicate and cute.

Wei Qingfan laughed and said, "In such a good mood?"

"Yup!"

Li Wanyi no longer walks in that strange posture, her figure "grows taller", she stood up straight with her back straight, walked to his desk gracefully, and said in a brisk tone: "I found that your company's office atmosphere is very good. "

Wei Qingfan curled his lips and said, "The lady boss is watching, can the office atmosphere be bad?"

"Whether it's just pretending or not, I can still tell the difference. It can be seen that everyone is very serious..."

Li Wanyi rolled her eyes, and stared at him while leaning on the table opposite him, with a happy and surprised expression, "I just went to the bathroom, and there were two girls chatting outside, and they were also discussing the progress of the project... How did you let them Seriously?"

"That's kind of weird."

Wei Qingfan laughed, "Anyway, if you hadn't told me, I would have no way of knowing."

Li Wanyi slapped him angrily, and said slightly annoyed: "The tail is going to go up to the sky... What kind of ecstasy soup did you give them?"

"Develop assessment standards, give bonuses according to the standards, and always have the money in place. There are no unserious employees...Of course, there is another reason because it is almost the end of the month, and we have to focus on performance."

"Hmph! Capitalist!"

Wei Qingfan didn't work overtime when he got off work, and left with Li Wanyi, went to buy groceries first, then went to pick up Li Miaoyu, and came back to cook together.

At home, the situation is not very good, hehe, he is just a dog after all, I don't know if he wants to leave a smell, or he misses Li Miaoyu's earnest teaching, anyway, he urinates from the big living room to the small living room.

Li Miaoyu almost exploded, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Wei Qingfan said unhappily: "Don't just talk about it, clean it up first, can't you keep the crime scene for it?"

"Go drag... your dog!"

"It's as if it's not your family..."

Wei Qingfan pouted and looked at Li Wanyi, who rolled her eyes and said, "I'm going to cook."

"alright."

Wei Qingfan had no choice but to wipe the dog's ass hard. He didn't forget to ask Li Miaoyu to take a photo of his hard work, and he planned to show it to his parents later, as a proof of his hard work in raising a dog.

After mopping up the living room, he was about to go to the kitchen to help, but Li Miaoyu was working inside, seeming to be whispering, and quickly drove him out.

Wei Qingfan didn't bother to go over, he went outside to watch TV and trained the dog, he always felt as if he had forgotten something, and when the cat and dog were fighting, he had an inexplicable flash of inspiration and remembered it.

Jiang Qinghuai!
He thought for a while, and instead of asking Wang Tiyue, he sent a message to Jiang Qinghuai: "How is your talk going?"

Jiang Qinghuai replied quickly: "Very good, Sister Wang said that she will apply for an internship with the company."

Wei Qingfan: "That's good."

Wei Qingfan: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Qinghuai: "UI design."

Wei Qingfan: "Kuo Yi has finally become a pillar of the company."

He was joking, and was ready for Jiang Qinghuai to make fun of him as "President Wei", or gossip about it, but Jiang Qinghuai didn't reply.

Wei Qingfan didn't care too much, and put away the clothes that were hung to dry in the morning, and he also took away the clothes of the two girls, and he could basically tell whose it was, and threw them into their rooms respectively.

Just after she came out of Li Miaoyu's room, she was coming out with a plate of fried eggplants, when she saw him sneaking out of her room, she asked vigilantly, "Why are you going to my room?"

"Pick up your clothes."

Wei Qingfan rolled his eyes, "You're not in the room, what can I do?"

"rogue!"

Li Miaoyu snorted, then heard the phone beeping on the sofa, turned her head and said, "Your!"

The three of them all used Guci mobile phones, but the colors of the back shells were different. Wei Qingfan used black, Li Miaoyu used white, and Li Wanyi used yellow, so they could still tell them apart at a glance.

Li Miaoyu sometimes follows Wei Qingfan's news out of curiosity, but she is obviously not interested at this time, and now the Android system does not have the functions of lock screen display and notification bright screen, and the front notification light flashes to remind her. He didn't care about the content of the message, and went to the kitchen after finishing speaking.

Wei Qingfan went back to the sofa and sat down, raised his legs comfortably, turned on the phone, and saw a message from Jiang Qinghuai, the content was: "Are you free tonight?"

Just looking at the content of this sentence is too easy to misunderstand, Wei Qingfan couldn't help but secretly wiped a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Li Miaoyu had no curiosity just now.

He had just flashed this thought, when he heard a familiar soft voice from his ear, snorted coldly, and repeated: "Are you free tonight?"
