Rebirth Starts From 2006

Faced with Boss Chen's question, Huang Shan was a little puzzled, "Isn't it close to Apple's products in terms of structural design? It's not better than them, so why not?"

This question left Boss Chen speechless.

He can't say that Apple is awesome, Apple is the best in the world, no one can compare with it, let alone surpass it, even if it comes close, it's amazing.

Isn’t that just boosting other people’s ambitions and destroying one’s own prestige?

Seeing Boss Chen's face, Huang Shan seemed to understand something, then smiled and said,

"Although Apple used to be the world's first-class company, they have been in decline for a long time. Even if Steve Jobs had not returned, it is not certain that this company would still be there.

Although after Steve Jobs returned, they also made great changes, cutting more than 90% of unnecessary projects, transitioning to mobile phones, and focusing on developing flagship products.

But to say how powerful their technology is, it’s really not certain,”

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Shan said again,

“Apple’s biggest advantage should be their product design, especially Steve Jobs’s unbridled creativity.

Even now, there are still many die-hard Apple fans in Europe and the United States, spreading rumors online that Damai copied Apple's ideas.

Because judging from the appearance alone, our smartphone is indeed somewhat similar to the Ai Feng mobile phone they released last year.

However, aren’t all touch screen mobile phone operating modes like this?

That is to say, Apple itself is somewhat self-aware and has never said such a thing on its own. Otherwise, our legal team in the United States would have approached them long ago."

At this point, Huang Shan waved her hands unhappily, "Forget it, let's not talk about that.

In short, aside from creativity, Apple does not actually have much advantage in terms of product performance and technological advancement. "

After hearing this, Chen Yang immediately understood that he had made a big mistake.

That is,

The Apple Company of 2008 is not the Apple of ten years from now!

Ten years later, they have created a unique closed-loop ecosystem with generations of carefully designed products, gradually leaving their competitors behind, and firmly grasping their technological and market advantages, and once became the number one in the world.

Now, Apple is still hoping that relying on Jobs' creativity and the brand that Apple has been operating for more than 20 years, it can make a beautiful turnaround.

At the very least, the epoch-making product that Lao Qiao calls Love Crazy 3G was only launched last month.

As a result, it happened to run into the new Palm Treo smartphone, which had just completed its new product release, and the Damai M1, which was making a big move into the European and American markets.

Just because of their immature iPhone OS 2 operating system, it was directly crushed into slag by Palm system and Hongmeng system.

Not only that, they also have to compete with the second echelon of Lukia, MOTO, Sanxin, etc.

By the way, this product that Jobs had high hopes for is equipped with the S5L8900 chip of his old enemy Sanxin.

Well, later Sanxin said that Apple’s chips copied their series.

As for Apple’s own chips,

Well, historically, it seems that it only started this year, right?

I don’t know if Jobs went to ARM to buy the highest-level license when the Ai Feng 3G market was not as good as expected, and resolutely acquired two semiconductor companies with strong technical capabilities in the United States? !

Maybe, after all, in the past two years, Apple's MacBook Pro and MacBook Air products have also sold well, which can bring back a certain amount of funds for them.

Maybe not. The failure of Ai Feng 3G has made Lao Qiao need to restrain himself a little in front of the board of directors.

But these are not important, what is important is,

Chance!

When he was meeting with the London Olympic Organizing Committee in the conference room just now, Boss Chen was still thinking that he was reborn too late and failed to catch up with the good opportunity to attract investment for the Beijing Olympic Games.

But now it seems,

Haha, it’s just the right time!

Whether it was when he decided to start a mobile phone business last year or when he just heard Huang Shan say that Damai also started a computer business,

In his heart, he never thought that he could turn Damai into a company that surpassed Apple.

Because in his psychology, he already has a fixed thinking,

That is,

Apple is so awesome. It has its own system, its own chips, and its own independent software ecosystem.

Each generation of products can cause a sensation around the world. Neither the old brand Sanxin nor the emerging Xiaohua OV can shake Apple's position!

But, that’s for the future!

What now?

Now Apple has just started, but barley is already well equipped.

At least we have started chip design, completed the reorganization of Zhanrui Company, and are planning to get involved in the chip manufacturing field. We are even planning a photolithography machine.

Okay, that's a little far,

But, really, compared to Apple, Barley is already several steps ahead.

In this case, the future is still very long, why can't Barley kill Apple? !

Thoughts are long and short,

In just two or three seconds, Huang Shan thought she had been guessed by seeing the change in her boss's face. The boss was worried about Apple's strength.

Then he smiled and said,

"So, Apple is really not as strong as everyone thinks. Maybe they were once glorious and had deep technical reserves, but that was only in the past.

On the other hand, Damai, although we have only been established for more than a year, we are just a newcomer in this field.

But because we are willing to invest in research and development, as long as it is technology or talent that is useful to us, we will never skimp on resources.

Acquisition, poaching, cooperation, no matter what method, as long as we can achieve the goal, we must tie it to our tank.

Therefore, in the past year, Damai Research Institute has made great progress and its strength has also increased by leaps and bounds.

Not to mention anything else, Xiao Han alone has gathered more than 200 senior talents, and has also reached cooperation with more than a dozen high-end colleges and universities in China.

Coupled with the support of Xijiang Supercomputing Center, to be honest, in some fields, we can claim to be at the forefront of the world! "

Well,

As soon as Chen Yang got out of his thoughts, he heard Huang Shan's lofty words. Even though he just thought about dismounting Apple, he couldn't help but blush.

"Is that so?!"

There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to brag about oneself.

Seeing that her boss didn't believe it, Huang Shan immediately raised her chin and said proudly,

"Of course it is. Moreover, with our current R\u0026D conditions, we cannot reach Apple or even surpass them. I think this is something that should not be done!"

These words are getting more and more outrageous.

but,

I like!

Chen Yang laughed and said immediately, "Okay, in this case, we must put forward higher requirements for Damai Research Institute.

I promised them that Damai’s annual research funding will not be less than 20% of sales. According to Damai’s performance, they have a lot of money to burn.

However, if you spend money, you must give me the best results! "

When they were talking just now, Zou Rong had already rolled over and slipped down, sitting on the armrest of Chen Yang's sofa, leaning against her husband, looking at the tablet in his hand.

When I heard Huang Shan and her husband's heroic words again, my eyes widened and I pointed at the screen and said,

"Oh my God, you think the technology is not enough for such a thin laptop, so you still want to improve it? Do you want it to be made into a piece of paper?!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the iPad in Chen Yang's hand, "I guess this tablet is thicker than that computer?!"

Huang Shan blinked, then rolled her eyes, "Well, in terms of parameters, the thickness of the iPad is 0.8 centimeters, and the thickness of this Damai notebook is 0.5 to 1.8 centimeters, if you take the middle position , and the notebook is still thicker!”

Zou Rong was speechless. A laptop must have a large battery and space for a keyboard. It is already very impressive to be able to do this.

Huang Shan also knew that the two were incomparable, but when she saw the idiot wife of the boss, she couldn't help but want to tease her.

But she was the boss lady after all. After teasing her, she still wanted to save her face, and then she smiled and said,

"Actually, this look is already very good. The technological improvement we are talking about does not necessarily mean improving portability, but also how to improve performance within the same volume.

Of course, it would be best if the volume could continue to be compressed! "

Chen Yang also nodded, "Well, when doing research and development work, you should have the spirit of excellence,"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

As he spoke, he swiped the screen with his finger, "You just said there are two series. This is the minimalist series. Apart from the seven colors in appearance, are there any other differences?"

Huang Shan shrugged, "Does the different capacity of memory and hard drive count?"

Chen Yang's mouth twitched slightly, but he continued to move his fingers as if he didn't ask.

The following pictures are obviously different from the previous ones.

The overall design on the front is simple and clear, very much like the MacBook Air. To be more precise, except for the differences in color, corners and thickness, other aspects are almost the same as Apple's new laptop.

The following pictures are between MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.

The whole body is boxy with sharp edges and corners, and the thickness at the front and back is also consistent. Unlike the thicker MacBook Pro, this Damai laptop is also made into an ultra-thin model.

The thickness is the same as the thickest part of the previous model, which is 1.8 cm. It is nearly 0.8 cm thinner than the MacBook Pro. It has the style of those domestic ultra-thin notebooks of later generations.

In addition to different sizes, the most distinctive feature of this series of products is probably the gorgeous patterns on the fuselage.

Huang Shan explained, “In view of the hot sales of Damai’s Guochao series, Xiao Han also transplanted that design idea to laptops.

She chose three directions: Peking Opera, porcelain and ink painting, and carried out in-depth design, eventually forming twelve products in this new national trend series. "

While Chen Yang was admiring each one, Zou Rong suddenly pointed at a picture and said, "I like this!"

Huang Shan turned around and almost laughed out loud, "Well, this one suits you quite well!"

Chen Yang pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, "Agree!"

Zou Rong looked slightly embarrassed, but then she shook her little head and smashed the jar, "I just like it, so what do you do?"

Huang Shan nodded immediately, "Okay, then I'll ask them to make a sample first and give it to you."

After saying that, he picked up the phone and called Han Qinya,

Zou Rong just wanted to stop her, but her husband stopped her.

But Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's rare that the boss lady likes something, so why don't I hurry up and give it to myself for personal gain?"

After hearing what her husband said, Zou Rong didn't stop her and waited sweetly.

When the call was connected, Huang Shan smiled and said,

"Xiao Han, the boss lady is interested in your Q-version facial makeup design, the female one. Hurry up. After optimizing it, let Mr. Chai make a prototype."

Originally, we already had a batch of prototypes, but those batches of prototypes are all useful. The R\u0026D and production sides still need to make adjustments and improvements based on the prototypes.

Now that the boss lady likes it, I can only make a new and better one for her.

On the other end of the phone, Han Qinya was a little confused, "Huh? I made a Huadan and a Swordsman, which one is it?"

For this Peking Opera series, she designed a total of four patterns, Huadan and Xiaosheng, Daomadan and Wusheng, facing each other, all in Q version.

Huadan is dressed as a bride, wearing a phoenix crown and a rosy coat. She is dressed up in a grand way. She also holds a folding fan in her hand, which makes her look cute.

The other Daomadan wears a large phoenix crown with seven stars on the forehead and two long phoenix wings on the top. He wears a butterfly helmet and a red robe. He has four flags on his back and a red tassel gun in his hand. It's really So sassy and cute.

What Zou Rong was attracted to was the Hua Dan wearing a phoenix crown and rosy clothes.

Huang Shan was about to speak when Chen Yang suddenly came close to the phone and said angrily, "Are you stupid? You can't do it together?!"

This girl is really confused by her research. They all say that the boss lady likes it, but she is still asking which one it is. Wouldn’t it be over once she makes them all?

"Yeah, boss?!"

Han Qinya first screamed, "Why are you here?"

Then he realized, "Ah, I know, let's just make Xiaosheng's and Wusheng's together. Boss, just wait and see. I will definitely make you a unique version in the world. I guarantee that you and the boss's wife will like it!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Huang Shan shook her phone, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile, "Well, this is the situation now. Damai Computer is about to be launched, so there is no problem at all in using the name of Damai Computer to participate in the bidding for the computer partner of the London Olympics! "

Chen Yang returned the iPad to her, nodded and said, "Okay, since everything has been made, it must be launched into the market, so just do what you want."

After a pause, he continued, "After all, the London Olympics is not in China, and its influence on the mainland is far less than that of the Beijing Olympics. We are rich, but we must also be careful. Only those who need it in the European and American markets will Come out and bid!”

"I understand this,"

Huang Shan put away her tablet and mobile phone, leaned on the back of the sofa, turned her head and said,

"One DaMai and one Dajiang, these two are definitely going to come up. In addition, no matter what the result of the acquisition of Santander Bank is, we will form a new Rainbow International Bank.

It just so happens that the International Olympic Committee does not have a top financial partner. I want to sign a long-term contract with them in the name of Rainbow Bank. This will be of great benefit to Rainbow Bank’s brand promotion.

As for other brands, let’s see. "

Boss Chen was very considerate of her suggestion and agreed immediately.

While they were chatting, Qin Yu also welcomed a guest on the other side.
