I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 216 Chapter 120-122: Research and development of Hillhouse’s new Mate series mobile phones! (three chapters in total)

Therefore, many people are curious about the source of this short video.

Many people have heard of the name Hillhouse, but they don’t know exactly what products it makes.

Now after seeing the decryption, I can't help but be shocked.

When everyone saw the end of the video, everyone opened their mouths wide.

this. . .

Hillhouse Company not only sells mobile phones, but also sells cars?

This seems to be really cool!
After watching the original video posted by Wang Xiaoming, many people felt that they were not satisfied.

Watched it again several times.

Then, under the comment area of ​​Wang Xiaoming’s video.

exploded!
"Damn it! When did such a monster company come out of China? They have mobile phones and cars with both hands. Aren't they afraid of being choked?"

"It's really shameful that I actually have feelings for a car!"

"A car that was highly hyped some time ago has been delivered so quickly! It's quite impressive!"

"This car is really cool now! It looks like Hua Guo Automobile is really starting to rise!"

"It's hard to imagine that a company that has been established for 6 years and has an automobile division that has been established for 2 years can actually build cars with such strong product capabilities."

"It can't be that the surface of the silver-tipped wax rod is shiny! It looks good on the outside, but I don't know if the quality inside is good. Don't go tens of thousands of kilometers and just have this problem or that problem."

While there was a lot of discussion in the meager.

Other Internet sites also reported accordingly.

Although these websites are not on the headlines, the collective voice is getting louder and louder.

This was something Qin, whose voice was gradually declining, did not expect.

It also made Gao Huaijun shout out surprise.

At this time, everyone had a doubt in their minds.

That is whether this car can stand the test of time!

The top three Japanese Sylphy, Corolla and other A-class cars are known as sacred cars. Although they are just changing their shells every year, their sales are stable. The core reason is that they can withstand the test of time!

We have sold tens of millions of cars without any major problems.

It has been hyped as a value-preserving car.

This is not a puzzle that can be solved by a lack of information or a golden finger!

. . . . . .

Hillhouse Technology, President's Office.

The 'Qin' model became popular on the Internet for the second time after its official delivery. Three days have passed.

Gao Huaijun will not be satisfied with the research and development of the three basic models of 'Qin', 'Han' and 'Xia'.

It is already 2010 and time flies by very fast.

Although Gao Huaijun has the advantage of poor information, now whether it is in the field of electronic technology or automobile, due to the intervention of Hillhouse, the progress of development is much faster than that of Gao Huaijun in his previous life.

In the field of electronic technology, products with similar product capabilities to mate 4 are now catching up. Pingguo's iPhone 3 has also begun to use capacitive screens, and challengers to mate 4 have begun to increase.

Old-era giants like Nokia and Motorola have not completely fallen behind. They have also begun to actively improve their products and make their own smartphones. Although their market share is slowly shrinking, they are also making adjustments and adjustments quickly. Change.

And in the automotive field.

The effect of the range extender has been very well verified on the 'Han' and 'Qin', two models that were not optimistic at first.

So now, most competing products, especially local automobile companies in China, have begun to research range extender products!

Although most large and medium-sized automobile manufacturers are still waiting and watching, some small and medium-sized automobile companies are already investing in corresponding research and development.

Hillhouse's two models are the core research objects of this kind of research and development.

In this situation, Gao Huaijun was very stressed!

Hillhouse's rapid development is due to its strong information gap ability.

Now the two subsidiaries are still several years away from becoming a large and medium-sized company worth hundreds of billions. If they are at loggerheads with competing products and the group's performance only rises slightly, it will definitely be more gain than loss and miss the golden development period in the next ten years. !

Therefore, the development of Hillhouse cannot be relaxed yet and must continue to be accelerated.

Just when Gao Huaijun was sitting at his desk, using the scratch paper in front of him to draw random pictures and conceive of Hillhouse's future development trajectory.

After many rounds of adjustments, more than half a year ago, the entire office building here in Ningyuan was dedicated to Gao Huaijun!
Gao Huaijun has been suffering under the high pressure of starting a business for five or six years, but he can't enjoy it?

It is said to be an office here, but it would be more appropriate to call it an oversized office suite.

The office area alone is over 100 square meters!
Except for the fact that there is no singing and dancing group upstairs, it can be said that all the living facilities are available.

Even on the right side of the office, a magnificent and exquisite small suite was decorated, with a bed, a shower room, a hidden compartment, and an escape passage. . .

Ordinary people would probably think it was a VIP suite in a five-star hotel when they saw it.

These conditions are completely different from those 6 years ago when Gao Huaijun just took over the 10-square-meter office filled with dust and a pile of unknown garbage at the Hillhouse factory.

At this time, Shang Yayan walked in from outside the office and broke his thoughts, "Mr. Gao, the office is ready for the meeting."

"Yeah!" Gao Huaijun nodded at this moment.

Then he put on the suit next to him and walked into the conference room together.

"Mr. Ning, come and chair the meeting!" After he sat down, the atmosphere at the scene couldn't help but become solemn, and he asked Ning Yuan.

"Okay! Mr. Gao!" Ning Yuan couldn't help but nodded nervously.

Since the establishment of the ICT Committee, Ning Yuan has been responsible for at least 80% of Gao Huaijun's chores, while Gao Huaijun is mainly responsible for some strategic directions and key decisions closely related to Hillhouse's development.

Basically, after several branches negotiated the affairs with Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan would report up.

Except for very few matters where Gao Huaijun would refute Ning Yuan's opinions, he would basically respect Ning Yuan's opinions.

Although his talent is not high, this kind of strong executive candidate is relatively modest and loyal. This is the core reason why Gao Huaijun values ​​him.

With the implementation of some routine affairs and strategic work such as Hillhouse Technology’s virtual equity has been confirmed, the most critical issue comes next, “Let’s talk about the next most critical work of Hillhouse Technology, the development of Hillhouse’s new mate series mobile phones. Research and development!”

"Now, Mr. Min, on behalf of Hillhouse Technology, will tell you what the next step is going to be!"

【Chapter 121】

After all the executives clapped their hands, Min Weiguo began to speak.

"Since competitors have begun to fully enter the field of smartphones, our strategic planning must now make new adjustments, and we need to carry out all-round upgrades for mate4! Only when high-end mobile phones stabilize our position, can we, Hillhouse Technology, compete in There is a steadily growing market share in the market!”

Min Weiguo opened the ceremony first.

Gao Huaijun nodded.

The people at Hillhouse Technology reacted very quickly.

Although Hillhouse Technology has now launched 4 high-end Mate series mobile phones and 2 Honor Magic series affordable mobile phones, one is high and the other is low.

In fact, the mobile phone research and development directions given by Gao Huaijun are basically slightly higher than this era, and have relevant and similar technical reserves, which can greatly lower the research and development threshold.

However, this also means that this technology does not have a very high technical moat like black technology such as nuclear fusion.

It is not difficult to imitate and surpass competing products!
Therefore, the pace of research and development must be kept up to ensure that Hillhouse Technology does not fall behind.

"So, what is your research and development direction and focus?" Gao Huaijun asked.

“One is in terms of design: Mate 5 adopts a new appearance design, with a more advanced texture and fashion sense. At the same time, we are also planning to add a more accurate fingerprint recognition meme function to Mate 5. This is an upgraded version of mate 4. , the current fingerprint unlocking of mate4 is not easy to use, and it often fails to unlock. This can provide a safer and more convenient unlocking experience."

"The second one is on the system: We plan to use a more efficient operating system for Mate 5, with faster running speed and smoother user experience. Our core goal is to improve the performance of Mate 4 by more than 10% compared to Mate [-]. Running speed!”

"The three are memory and storage space: Mate 5 will undergo a certain degree of upgrade in terms of memory and storage space. Mate 5 will have higher running speed and smoother user experience."

"Fourth is network support: We have noticed the current demand in society for dual-SIM dual-standby, so now Mate 5 will support dual-SIM dual-standby to meet daily needs."

"We will mainly focus on these four aspects to carry out all-round technical improvements for Mate 4!"

Min Weiguo organized his thoughts and explained the general idea of ​​product upgrade clearly.

After Gao Huaijun heard what he said, he quickly reacted.

He has basically played with all the popular mobile phones in his previous life.

Now the upgrade plan mentioned by Min Weiguo is almost 8% more consistent with the original Zhongwei mate80!

In other words, except for memory, storage, and screen solutions, this is a beggar’s version of mate8.

If this upgrade plan didn't have Gao Huaijun's golden finger, it would be considered quite awesome.

"Min Weiguo and his team are really well trained! My annual R&D investment of over one billion is not in vain!" Gao Huaijun was also overjoyed and couldn't help but thought to himself.

This seems to be a very simple upgrade plan, but in fact, the difficulty of this upgrade plan is much more difficult than imagined!
Gao Huaijun can frequently produce some genius-level creative products, not because he is really talented, but because he has a more mature finished product plan for later generations.

And this kind of mature finished product solution can be said to stand on the shoulders of giants. Behind it are countless eliminated alternative plans, and even countless eliminated finished product solutions!
Only products that become big hits in later generations, products that can be seen in terms of product strength and sales explosiveness, will be able to catch his eye.

And now, without his guidance in advance, Min Weiguo can actually think of a beggar's version product similar to Zhongwei Mate8, which is really awesome.This shows that Hillhouse Technology’s R&D team is already on par with major foreign manufacturers in terms of market acumen!

When Min Weiguo glanced at Gao Huaijun anxiously, Gao Huaijun nodded slowly, "Not bad!"

However, before Min Weiguo could be happy, he continued, "This plan can only stabilize the position, but it is not enough for Hillhouse Technology's top series Mate to break through a big ladder!"

“So, we need to be one step ahead in the iteration of technology!”

One step ahead?
Can this really be done?

All the executives present were stunned.

The four series of Mate in the early stage can be considered reasonable, because many of the ideas and measures are half a step ahead of the market, and the original technology can basically be found in the market.

But now, the existing technologies on the market have been fully explored. Can Hillhouse Technology really come up with another work that is ahead of its peers?
Hillhouse Technology is not an era for grassroots startups!
The plan that Min Weiguo and the others came up with was the crystallization of the wisdom of thousands of people!

Thinking of this, they also thought of Gao Huaijun's miraculous performance in the past. They all looked at Gao Huaijun expectantly.

Could it be that Hillhouse Technology is going to create another miracle?
Gao Huaijun smiled mysteriously, and then he pushed a technical drawing in front of the executives.

As a CEO with a technical background, Min Weiguo immediately picked it up excitedly, and then looked at it carefully.

Then, his expression froze.

This mobile phone is the mate20 of Zhongwei Company, which is the best-selling model in the future!

The concept of the mobile phone in front of me is fundamentally different from the mobile phone he designed!

This product, even in sketch mode, looks very good.

Its unique design style makes it look like a product that is not only practical, but also artistically beautiful.

First of all, this product adopts a water-drop screen design that is very rare for mobile phones on the market. The front lens is embedded in the center of the screen. The front camera only occupies a small proportion and has almost no borders, giving people a seamless visual enjoyment.

This design makes the overall phone look more concise, stylish, and more convenient to use.

In appearance alone, this is very bold!
This will completely defeat the preliminary plan of mate5 developed by Min Weiguo's team.

Stunning!

Very stunning!
This unique artistic beauty will make people feel amazing once they see it!

"Wow! No! The screen-to-body ratio is so high!"

"Boss, this really challenges our level."

"Is this... really the new product we want to design?"

"With such a high screen-to-body ratio, I can only say that I am trying my best, but it may not be able to meet the standards!"

Min Weiguo, who was in front of the conference table, asked with some stumbling.

He has been engaged in mobile phone research and development for so many years and has seen many different types of mobile phones. There are even big-name mobile phone companies that want to illegally recruit him to become the head of research and development.

However, the design concept of this mobile phone is something that even big-name mobile phone manufacturers would not dare to try!

Just having a high screen-to-body ratio would cost their team so many brain cells!

We still don’t know the technical reserves of screen suppliers.

【Chapter 122】

The large cell phone image on the first page posed a problem for him.

Moreover, he still doesn't know whether such a mobile phone design can impress consumers.

After all, this phone seems to be designed to be wider than the mate4, with a 6.53-inch screen, which is nearly 4% larger than the 6-inch large screen of the mate10!

And the screen-to-body ratio has exceeded 90%. Compared with Mate 4, the front screen-to-body ratio is as high as 70%, which is an increase of 20%!

Don't think it's only a little bigger, but in fact, the design difficulty will be much greater.

The changes in these two indicators alone can be regarded as disruptive changes in other mobile phone companies.

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think! How can you lead the soldiers below to fight this battle if you are timid before fighting in the meeting! Your opponents are not different Chinese small mobile phones, but Nokia, Motorola , Sansang, and the latest rising Pingguo Company!"

"If I don't have the courage to go all out and work hard, how can I trust you with Hillhouse Technology, a company that has grown up with me?"

"Wang Lin, please write this down. Mr. Min's performance will be deducted this month and he will not be paid!"

"I'll say it again here, my team will never allow anyone who is timid before fighting, absolutely not allowed!"

Gao Huaijun was still smiling just now, but after hearing Min Weiguo's words, he immediately put away his smile and said sternly.

It seems that this group of people, following him, have had such a good life that they have forgotten how they lived a hard life before.

Without that kind of selfless entrepreneurial spirit, it will be difficult to do a good job in the company!
The executives below hurriedly said yes.

Then Gao Huaijun ignored everyone's expressions and continued to let Min Weiguo scroll down.

Likewise, the same image appears on the projector, on the back of the phone.

The back of this phone is creatively made of reinforced glass, which not only looks smooth to the touch, but also looks very beautiful.

The back of this phone uses a matrix arrangement of three lenses and flashes, inspired by the classic car light design of supercars, which is often jokingly called the bathroom heater design in later generations.

The three-lens design can actually use multiple sets of cameras!
"For this big iteration of mobile phones, the camera is also the focus. I need super wide-angle three-camera technology! Mobile phone cameras have always been our weakness. You can find some good camera companies to cooperate, such as Leica!"

“What I need is not only a super wide angle, but also core textures that can record small items at a macro distance!”

Gao Huaijun put it here and said lightly.

However, it is such a simple three-camera technical design, which makes the executives below feel a little stunned!
Today was an eye-opener for them.

This way of thinking is like everyone looking at the world on a two-dimensional level.

Now suddenly someone jumped out of the two dimensions and carried out dimensionality reduction attacks at the three-dimensional level!
This kind of gameplay is really awesome!
Usually, everyone is piling up materials for a camera, working hard, but they may not be able to do it well.

After all, there are practical limits to individual camera technology.

If you pile it up again, the effect will definitely be limited.

However, now having three cameras is completely different!
The gameplay is also diversified.

It turns out that the camera can still be played like that?
Isn't it just a camera?
Multiple cameras must be effective?
It seems that the camera function needs to be strengthened. The field of view will be wider and the shots will be clearer, so that customers can easily dominate the C position in their circle of friends.

Some of the executives below felt a sense of enlightenment.

"Three cameras and a flash?" Ning Yuan glanced at Gao Huaijun in confusion.

"Yes! That's right! This is the back design of our new mobile phone! Nowadays, many smartphones are either going to follow our path, or else they will follow Pingguo's path. Slowly, the homogenization begins to become serious, so for us He said that there must be revolutionary progress. Only in this way can we get rid of them and have a stronger position in the field of mobile phone research and development!"

Gao Huaijun said with a smile.

Although these three cameras plus a flash do have the feel of a bathroom heater, they still look pretty good and their appearance is quite good.

"Also, you should recruit some AI talents, that is, artificial intelligence talents! On this mobile phone, I hope to create a more intelligent AI junior voice tool Xiao Ling than Siri!"

"By the way, we will be highly allocated to the AI ​​department. As the sixth subsidiary of Hillhouse Group, the name is Hillhouse Artificial Intelligence BU!"

Speaking of this, Gao Huaijun couldn't help but speak seriously.

Completely different from the previous life, Pingguo now adjusts very quickly.

Siri has been developed and is slightly inferior to later generations.

Even if it’s a beggar’s version of Siri, it’s still Siri!
Although in Gao Huaijun's later generations, even in 2014, many people ignored the value of Siri and thought it was an artificial retardation.

But it is undeniable that artificial intelligence is beginning to advance rapidly.

Can it change humanity?

Gao Huaijun didn't know it until he traveled through time.

But he knows that this thing can definitely bring unprecedented changes to the world!

One stone stirs up thousands of waves!

All the executives looked at Gao Huaijun with their mouths open.

What shocked them was actually not the so-called artificial intelligence, AI, but the fact that Gao Huaijun established a special department for a mere Siri, an artificially retarded person!

Artificial intelligence, even in this beautiful country, is a very trendy thing.

This thing involves computer algorithms.

Even in the beautiful country, there is very little research!

How much would it cost to set up such a department?

They don’t even have a clue in their own hearts!

However, they have already felt that the funds are burning!
"By the way, this department is not in China! There are too few people at relevant levels in China! We can't recruit relevant professionals in China!"

"Mr. Ning, go to Silicon Valley in the beautiful country and set up an office first! Recruit ten people first, set up the structure, and then we'll talk!"

Gao Huaijun turned his head and warned.

"Ah!!! Okay, Mr. Gao, I'll do it as soon as I get down!" Ning Yuan's head was buzzing and he could only do this first.

But there were only four words left in his mind - 'salary structure'!
