Hardcore crisis

The world of "Never Ending" is the world where Lu Yuan has invested the most energy and is developing the fastest. It can be said that this world has provided him with considerable help for his current achievements.

Now that the world has completely collapsed, Lu Yuan can only shake his head regretfully, thinking about changing the direction to the other side. So far, Lu Yuan has not been involved in other movie worlds except for the two worlds of "Never Ending" and "Mechanical Enemy". He mainly considers two aspects. First, many movie worlds are of little help to him at present, and there are not many valuable things worth absorbing. The second is that the situations in many movie worlds are complex and the degree of danger involved is quite high. Once the plots that occur in them are played out in the real world due to unknown reasons during the operation, it will definitely be a very heart-wrenching thing.

"Sir..." Sonny stood aside and waited for Lu Yuan's instructions.

"It's a bit troublesome, Sonny..." Lu Yuan explained the cause and effect of the matter: "The problem now is that the world of "Never Ending" has completely collapsed. Even the files have been deleted. I'm afraid they won't be able to get them back in the future."

Just now he tried to recover deleted files, but the result was naturally fruitless.

"Hey, fortunately, I finally got the NZT information, which can be regarded as solving the original target plan."

The information obtained from Karis is basically the result of his research over the years. With this information, it will not be too difficult to solve the side effects caused by NZT.

In the days that followed, Lu Yuan studied the movies on the USB flash drive and looked for ways to establish a spokesperson for the movie world. On the other hand, he did not forget to contact the outside world. Remote control directs Yan Zhiwen's domestic layout.

After more than a month of fermentation, the artificial intelligence "Coco" detonated the technology press. This has even extended to the general population. Even ordinary people who are not familiar with this aspect and are not exposed to this aspect have passively accepted this piece of news because they were on the Central News Channel 13.

As Lu Yuan's spokesperson, Yan Zhiwen has suffered a lot recently. In view of the highly developed artificial intelligence embodied in "Coco" and its ability to be successfully applied in actual social activities and life. Even big companies like Google and Apple can't sit still. After the flashing packages adapted to several models were released, various universities in China that were researching artificial intelligence, scientific departments and even major companies involved in this industry all approached Yan Zhiwen, with different purposes, but in fact Everyone wants to get authorization, cooperation, technology, etc.

Needless to say, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Sony, Apple and other companies have also sent people to talk to Yan Zhiwen. So these days. What Yan Zhiwen did was nothing more than completing the tasks given by Lu Yuan while dodging around.

The matters discussed with Zhongtianxin OEM were similar. Zhongtianxin, which was about to go bankrupt, wished that a fool could take over. Yan Zhiwen came to talk to express his intention. It immediately attracted a warm and sincere welcome.

Yan Zhiwen said there was absolutely no problem. Before completing the final agreement, Zhongtianxin's engineers immediately came up with several sets of mobile phone design plans based on his requirements.

Now entering the 21st century. Making a mobile phone is really not too difficult. First of all, in terms of software, there is a free and open source Android system provided by Google. Each mobile phone manufacturer only needs to slightly customize it, or just use it directly.

In terms of hardware, it means mobile phone screens, mobile phone chips, cameras, mobile phone batteries, etc., with the popularity of modern smartphones and the development of the industry chain. Any hardware component that can be purchased in the market solves both aspects.

The next step is the assembly and design of the hardware.

The assembly of hardware does not need to be considered by mobile phone manufacturers. There is a link in the modern mobile phone manufacturing industry called foundry, which specializes in hardware assembly... and even provides mobile phone design. Mobile phone manufacturers do not need to consider this aspect. They only need to pay. Just pay for the OEM.

Unlike the feature phone era, where mobile phone manufacturers had to build their own factories to assemble mobile phones, in the modern smartphone era, companies have a huge division of labor and efficiency must be improved. As a result, mobile phone OEMs came into being.

Modern foundries are divided into two types.

One is the OEM original equipment manufacturer, and the other is the ODM original design manufacturer. To put it simply, the OEM designs its own products and asks the foundry to produce them for them; LOGO production for yourself.

The cost of mass-producing a mobile phone is about 1.2 million, and the cost of a single mobile phone can be controlled at around more than 300 yuan.

It can be seen from this that the threshold for making a mobile phone is very low. It is no wonder that no one dares to be involved in the mobile phone industry nowadays. They are embarrassed to say hello to others without saying that they are making mobile phones when they go out.

But making a good mobile phone is not easy. Calculated based on the most famous Apple mobile phone, the hardware cost of each generation ranges from about 1,300 to 1,600 yuan. However, the design cost and initial investment are calculated in units of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is no wonder that many mobile phones cannot compete with Apple mobile phones. For comparison, the investment costs are different, so how to fight?

From Yan Zhiwen's point of view, the mobile phone design plans presented by Zhongtianxin can only be said to be quite satisfactory, starting from a low-cost mobile phone of 300 yuan, to a mid-range mobile phone with a cost of 600 yuan, and then to a high-cost mobile phone with a cost of 900 yuan. The shape of Yuan mobile phone is different from that of most mobile phones on the current mobile phone market, and there are basically no features that make people think it is eye-catching.

In fact, this kind of mobile phone solution is not bad. At least it does not take much risk. Even if it fails, you can learn from the beginning and start again. After thoroughly understanding some of the information given by Lu Yuan, Yan Zhiwen's confidence greatly increased and he immediately came up with his own design plan.

First of all, in terms of structure, the whole body is made of aluminum titanium alloy structure, and the screen is 5 inches in appearance. Due to the shrinking design and frameless design, well, it is not truly frameless. Today’s industrial standards are not up to that level. It is to perform bevel cutting on the edge of the glass panel, and use the principle of optical lens to visually hide the black edge, so as to achieve the effect of invisible frame to the naked eye. Therefore, a mobile phone with a 5-inch screen is only the size of an ordinary 4.7-inch mobile phone.

The outer glass is made of sapphire glass, equipped with a fingerprint recognition module and an iris recognition dual unlocking solution. It has a 3000 mAh battery and a thickness of 7.2 mm. In the PPT, according to Lu Yuan, after installing a customized OS, the normal use time can reach 15 Hours.

Well, this phone has a unique appearance and very good looks. Its battery life is also better than all phones from other manufacturers. There is also the killer "Coco". Yan Zhiwen is not targeting Apple. He just wants to say that all mobile phones are the same. Rubbish.

He was so confident, but the problem was that Zhongtianxin's engineers didn't know it. When they saw the plan, they were all stunned.

I just thought Yan Zhiwen was crazy.

The design and launch of mobile phones does not mean that the best one will be successful. Mobile phone manufacturers must balance the issue between cost and risk, and it is impossible to launch a mobile phone regardless of cost.

Not every manufacturer dares to follow Apple's example and produce mobile phones at such a high cost. Firstly, they don't have the software capabilities, and secondly, if they really launch such a high-cost mobile phone, if the market doesn't buy it, they will lose money.

And the plan that Yan Zhiwen came up with...

The cost is as high as more than 2,500 yuan. This is not a mobile phone. It is completely crazy to spend money. There is no such crazy mobile phone manufacturer in the world. This is just the ex-factory price. If you include the software cost and promotion cost, then it is close to every The cost price of Taiwan’s 3,000 yuan is already equivalent to the selling price of flagship mobile phones from domestic manufacturers!

The engineers also thought about labor costs, company operation costs and many other aspects. After calculation, this phone would have to sell for about 4,000 yuan to barely break even.

Taking into account factors such as market risk, the engineers gave the plan a death sentence without even thinking about it. (To be continued ~^~)
