Rebirth: I Want to Surf

The second day of the celebration banquet.

When the outside world was still clamoring for Meizu's entry into the mobile phone market, Yao Yuancai sat down with Bai Yongxiang to discuss the current problems in detail.

"There is nothing, everything starts from scratch. It is ashamed to say that from the beginning of the transition to prepare for mobile phones, the biggest gain is to get the production license. Screens, touch controls, batteries, basebands, chips, cameras, etc., every piece of hardware is A hurdle, I really..."

Bai Yongxiang, who has always been calm, was a little overwhelmed by the mobile phone, it was too difficult.

Now in 2006, not more than ten years later, if future generations want to make mobile phones, a set of hardware configurations and a set of design solutions will be automatically sent to you. All you have to do is to choose.

Because the industry chain is already very mature.

Right now in the domestic market, it is still a smart phone, no less than men's football entering the World Cup.

Yao Yuan understood his distress, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I told you that I'll give you 2-3 years, and this is just the beginning. Take your time first, where are you going now?"

"The first is the screen. The old one...uh, in layman's terms, it uses a hard object to point, such as a stylus. Now there is a new technology, which is to coat the glass with a layer of indium tin oxide to achieve conductivity on the glass. , so as to achieve the effect of finger touch.

I contacted the British manufacturer Quantum before, but I felt that the accuracy was not good enough to reach the mass production level, so I contacted other manufacturers, but it was still not ideal.

On the touch solution, I am communicating with Synaptics in the United States.

For baseband and structural solutions, I am communicating with Philips, Infineon, and Qualcomm.

CPU is in contact with Samsung. MP3 has purchased a lot of Samsung hardware before, and the cooperation relationship has always been good. This is relatively smooth.

The hardest part is the operating system, and although you told me to wait, I've approached a few vendors. The Windows Mobile interface is very poor, and the authorization fee for each mobile phone is more than ten dollars, which is simply unaffordable.

LINUX technical difficulty is high.

Win CE is an operating system developed on the basis of Pocket PCs. It needs to be transplanted for smart phones. We can accept this technical difficulty, but if you say not to move it, I didn’t get in-depth contact with it. "

"..."

Yao Yuan was quite touched after hearing this, and even Yinyin who was beside him was very touched. It is not easy to develop some high-tech in China!

"What do I need to do?" he asked.

"I'm not telling you about this, I just want to say that we can really overcome most of the difficulties, but what I need most now is still a lack of senior technical personnel.

In terms of hardware, I have an old face, and stalking will be somewhat effective, but technically, without a big boss in charge, I have no idea. "

"Okay, leave this to me, I will definitely do it!"

"please!"

Bai Yongxiang's current state is very complicated. It's like playing an extremely difficult game. No matter how hard he fights the boss, he can't beat the boss. He is entangled between giving up and persistence. He wants to die, but he also has a wonderful sense of fulfillment.

Two simple words: Career!

After introducing some information, he took out two plastic mobile phone models, and said, "This is a shell made according to your suggestion. How about it?"

Yao Yuan held it in his hands, one black and one white. Others don't know, but he knows it: it's very similar to the first-generation iPhone, and it's even better looking.

Historically, Meizu applied for an appearance patent at the end of 2006, with a screen on the top and buttons on the bottom, which did not depart from the scope of traditional mobile phones.

And by 2007, the first generation of iPhone was released, setting off a smartphone revolution.

Meizu hastened to apply for a new appearance patent, which is M8. Whether it is imitation or plagiarism, there is no objection to this point, but it was too advanced at the time, so it stood out and was ridiculed by everyone.

Look at the iPhone-style mobile phones that are all over the street now, and no one talks about plagiarism anymore.

The iPhone only entered the mainland market in 2009, and it was already the iPhone 3GS version at that time.

"looks good?"

Yao Yuan handed the model to Yinyin, Yinyin fiddled with it a few times, and asked: "It looks good but it looks good, how do you do it?"

"Use your hands."

"Hand point, such a large screen is all touch?"

"What's wrong?"

"That's amazing!"

Yinyin didn't know the specifics of it, but she liked it just by looking at the appearance, Yao Yuan asked again: "Is it registered for a patent?"

"It's already down!" Bai Yongxiang said.

"That's good."

Yao Yuan returned the model to Bai Yongxiang and told him to keep a low profile and keep it secret.

In other words, his first smartphone in his previous life was iPhone 3GS, then iPhone 4, and then he never used Apple. He tried Meizu, Huawei, and Redmi, and he liked Meizu’s Flyme system very much.

I feel that the red rice is very lax...

Android will be announced as open source next year, and Meizu can also join in at that time, and directly make version 1.0 of its own operating system-before that, it must first recruit a few technical masters.

…………

Yao Yuan stayed in Zhuhai for three days, then visited the branch in Guangzhou, and then started their holiday trip.

After spending two days in Hong Kong briefly, Yinyin quickly felt bored.

Like most people, everyone has a filter of the Hong Kong film era in Hong Kong. Those high-rise buildings and those dark and cramped alleys seem to have a story happening anytime and anywhere.

But when you go there, you will know that it is not the case at all.

Hong Kong is supported by the financial and service industries, the GDP is inflated, the rich get rich, the poor get poor, and there is a lot of mess left by the British. The whole city is cyberpunk.

The two walked around Disneyland, the Avenue of Stars and other iconic attractions, and Ma Liu came back.

After returning, I stopped in Shenzhen again to see the cinema invested and built by Golden Harvest.

The location is very good. It is in the China Resources Center Vientiane City. It is the best movie theater built by Hong Kong capital in the mainland since it was opened to Hong Kong movies in 2003.

There are 7 theaters in the first phase, with a total of 1076 seats.

The second phase is under construction, and it is planned to add 5 more digital cinemas to form a luxurious cinema with 12 cinemas and 2,000 seats.

In the past, we always talked about leading theaters. After the completion of this cinema, it is definitely the leading theater in Guangdong Province, which is a big box office box office.

Yao Yuan was so greedy that he took Yinyin to watch a movie, the experience was really great.

"If you succeed in the acquisition, will you pay for the second phase?" Yinyin asked.

"What do you mean I pay for it? That is the contribution of all shareholders. Let me tell you, Golden Harvest has 33 theaters, distributed in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shenzhen, Singapore and Malaysia. This brand and real estate are the greatest wealth... "

While chatting, the phone rang suddenly.

It's Brother Ma.

Yao Yuan went out to answer the call, and said with a smile, "It's strange, you took the initiative to call me?"

"Why don't you say something when you come to Shenzhen, so I can do my best as a landlord."

"You know this as well?"

"The subordinates saw it by chance, don't misunderstand, and have a light meal as a favor?"

"I'm sorry, I already have an appointment tonight, I have to go back tomorrow, please reschedule."

"Oh well……"

Brother Xiao Ma didn't force it, he was polite and polite, and by the way told him what he was doing, and hung up after chatting for a while.

Yao Yuan shrugged, went back to watch the movie, ate something casually after watching the movie, and rushed to the next venue. He was not fooled, and he did have an appointment tonight.

I didn't have any contact with the other party before, but I mentioned my wish, and the other party is very welcome, at least he is an Internet boss.

He is going to visit Huawei.

(no more...

In the last chapter, I entered the small black room. )
