Chapter 992 It’s Time to Take the Lead

The plan to promote the IPO of Qianqianjingting website and Tianxing Game Company has always been carried out secretly within the circle.

After everyone unified their thoughts and goals, it did not cause much controversy or repercussions.

On the contrary, it was the first mobile phone launched by Yuanqi Technology after the turn of the millennium that attracted great attention.

In fact, in the first year of the new millennium, whether it is Motorola or Nokia, two of the three giants, or Samsung, a second-tier mobile phone brand that takes the opportunity to seize the market, they are all holding back their energy to launch a new mobile phone. Today we are leading the mobile phone trend in the new century.

It was as if after time entered the new node of the millennium, God's balance tilted towards them.

As the head of R&D for Lotus mobile phones, Leng Ning has always felt that he is under a lot of pressure.

For this reason, after all, the glory of Lotus mobile phones as one of the three giants cannot be lost in their own hands.

Fortunately, Yuanqi Technology, under the leadership of Wu Tao, has always been proactively prepared for basic research on mobile phones.

In order to cope with the encirclement and siege of mobile phone manufacturers of all sizes in the new century, Leng Ning and his research and development team began to think hard from the beginning of the year, and produced version after version of the plan, and finally came up with a series of smart phone solutions in early July.

Of course, in addition to smartphone solutions, Leng Ning still prepared two traditional mobile phone solutions to cope with the mobile phone fashion trend that has not yet completely transformed.

When the result was handed to Wu Tao's desk, it was thrown back in less than a minute.

The decisive rejection at that moment really made Leng Ning feel doubtful about life.

Why is it that the bigger my position becomes, the more difficult it becomes for me to do my job?

Three days later, Wu Tao called Leng Ning to the office and gave several keywords: camera, MP3, Palm multi-tasking system, touch screen, and programmable APP.

Leng Ning's first reaction when he saw it was 'Boss, it's impossible, just kill me! ’

So Wu Tao started to make subtractions, first crossed out the programmable APP and said: "This already exists, it is not a new feature. Although the function is simple, it can barely run in a 2G-2.5G network environment."

Then he circled the Palm multi-tasking system and said: "The Palm company in Silicon Valley has already developed it, so it is not a problem."

"...As for the touch screen, this time Beijiang Ruixian Technology is ahead of Samsung and Sharp. The capacitive screen effect is not satisfactory, but it is completely usable."

Having said this, Wu Tao spread his hands and said, "As for MP3, there is no need for me to talk about it, right?"

Leng Ning pointed to the first keyword, "As for the camera, no manufacturer can supply such small accessories in batches, right?"

Wu Tao nodded, "I'll contact you about this."

Leng Ning took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and then his mind came to life.

"Boss, first of all, the characteristics of the first-generation capacitive screen cannot support a better touch screen experience. In addition, the development progress of handwriting input methods is lagging behind, so we still cannot do without the mobile phone keyboard."

"...As a result, the size of the mobile phone will inevitably become larger, which will affect the structural design and product design of the final product."

This is true. Wu Tao nodded and said, "So I have to go through the structural design plan of the final product."

After Leng Ning determined the design plan for the coexistence of touch screen + keyboard, he focused on the keyword camera.

"Photos are storage files that consume more memory and flash memory, which will greatly increase the hardware cost of the mobile phone. And the use of Palm multi-tasking system will also put higher demands on the CPU."

"...these elements are concentrated together, and for our new Lotus phone, the danger is that they are too concentrated."

Wu Tao was not surprised at all, "I understand. But how do you know if you don't try it? Besides, I can allow you to postpone the release of new products this year."

"Okay." Leng Ning was a little tired. In her eyes, her boss was quite paranoid about the perfection of his products.

Seeing Leng Ning stand up, Wu Tao stood up and emphasized: "Now that we have entered the new century, it is time for our Lotus mobile phones to get rid of Nokia and Motorola and take the lead. If we don't come up with something real and seize this opportunity, how can we OK?"

These words were said so boldly that Leng Ning felt encouraged as he listened, "Then should the new generation of mobile phones have a new name?"

"That's right, it's called Lotus Phone X series!"

It was precisely because of this meeting that more than four months of urgent research was carried out, and the much-anticipated Lotus Phone X series was finally produced.

In mid-November, the late autumn in Jinling was particularly desolate.

But at the entrance of the New Century Hotel, there is a completely different scene.

In the past, Yuanqi Technology's new product launch conferences were held at the Xuanwu Hotel. This year, they were specially moved to its own star-rated hotels, which can be regarded as leaving no room for outsiders.

Song Qiao takes this very seriously.

Early in the morning, many people came to the door of the hotel, and all employees were recalled urgently to maintain order.

Because of this new product launch, as the designated spokesperson for Lotus mobile phones, domestic celebrity Ding Tiantian will come to the scene in person to showcase the new Lotus Phone X series mobile phones.

Therefore, those who came early were mostly star-chasers from Jinling and surrounding cities.

The exclusive reception room of New Century Hotel.

Xiao Zixia sat inside with Wu Tao, looking anxious.

"Boss, all the major newspapers and media outside are unanimously not optimistic about our Lotus Phone

Wu Tao casually played with the prototype finally displayed by the R&D department, which was somewhat similar to the Nokia E71 in his memory.

However, the shape is more rounded and majestic, and the design of Tuhao Gold color is introduced. In addition, the simple APP inside is rich in functions, which is actually better than the original Nokia E71.

After a few random operations, the system is quite fluent, the touch feels smooth, and the image interface refreshes without obvious afterimages.

This basically meets all Wu Tao's expectations for the new generation of mobile phones.

"And is our price too high? Compared to Nokia and Motorola, we have no advantage at all!" Xiao Zixia babbled for a long time and found that the boss's expression was always smiling and basically unchanged, "Boss, what on earth are you doing?" Are you listening?"

Wu Tao casually turned on the music on the phone in his hand, letting its sharp sound quality flow out and said: "If you are worried, go to Leng Ning to find some confidence."

Xiao Zixia shook her head decisively, "At this juncture, I'd better not influence her."

"Then listen to the music and calm down." Wu Tao said while closing his eyes and listening to the music, shaking his head to the beat.

Xiao Zixia was still a little unwilling, "Boss, are you really not worried at all?"

Wu Tao opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Why am I not worried? I am worried that after our new generation of mobile phones become the well-deserved king of mobile phones, your mentality will still not be able to keep up!"

Xiao Zixia didn't say anything, but she secretly said in her heart: 'Oh my God, boss, where do you get your confidence from? ’
