Technology: Start by selling mobile phones

Guangzhou, Shenzhen.

Huawei headquarters.

He Xiaoyang, as one of the top engineers of Huawei Group and the head of the mobile operating system R\u0026D department,

I am discussing with my assistant the latest progress of a mobile phone operating system independently developed by Huawei.

"Xiao Liu, did the high-level leaders discuss the results of today's meeting?"

"What is the final name of the operating system we are developing?"

Assistant Xiao Liu on the side smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"not yet."

"But I heard that several alternative names have been decided this time, but the final one has not been decided yet."

"Oh? Let's hear some alternative names."

Xiao Liu hummed and said:

"Many people agree to name it 'Kaitian', and some senior officials think that the name 'Ark' is a good one, but it is said that the biggest voice is still - 'Hongmeng'."

"Hongmeng OS?!"

"It's indeed a good name."

But after a moment, he suddenly smiled bitterly and laughed at himself:

"This name is very appropriate for the situation of our operating system. Our operating system is indeed in the early stage of chaos like Hongmeng, with no sunshine in sight."

"I don't know... when it will be commercially available on the market."

Assistant Xiao Liu suddenly felt embarrassed. After a slight pause for a few seconds, he comforted:

"Mr. Xiaoyang, our current EMUI system based on Android is indeed pretty good... There is no reason for the senior management to switch to a new system."

"I know!"

He Xiaoyang nodded, of course he knew the reason.

Huawei has always only used the new system as a backup internally, and...

To be honest, the new system is indeed inferior to the Android system in terms of performance, stability, and compatibility.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, and a familiar and unfamiliar name suddenly came to mind.

Autumn breeze.

"If we can contact Qiu Feng and communicate with him about system optimization, our new system performance will surely be even better."

He Xiaoyang sighed, and after a moment he looked at his assistant Xiao Liu.

"Xiao Liu, I asked you to contact Frontier Technology two days ago to ask for Qiu Feng's contact information. Did they reply?"

"I just responded today."

"Frontier Technology said they don't have Qiu Feng's specific contact information..."

"And they specifically emphasized that they have given the Qiufeng Forum invitation code, but it seems that the Qiufeng boss has not registered yet."

He Xiaoyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He had some mental expectations for this matter. After all, the "Frontier Technology" forum is a forum that requires an invitation code to register.

Once a new user registers, the latest registered name and ID will be visible in the forum.

Obviously, Qiu Feng is not among the newly registered users.

"Forget it, I guess this Qiufeng boss is a senior engineer abroad, and he probably doesn't want to reveal too much personal information."

After saying this, he opened the "Frontier Technology" forum.

"I haven't visited the forum for two days. I'm afraid the forum is even more lively now."

Soon, the website opened.

He Xiaoyang began to carefully read the latest posts in the forum.

really.

In less than three seconds, he had discovered several posts in the forum about Qiu Feng and discussions about "Underlying Optimization Logic of Android System".

This is not surprising.

You must know that we are still in the era of Android 6.0. There is still a big gap between Android and Apple's IOS. Moreover, the public's impression of Android is still that it is not smooth and will get stuck after a few years.

so.

Over the years, the top priority of major mobile phone manufacturers for the system is still to optimize smoothness and ensure no lags.

The "Underlying Optimization Logic of Android System" published by Qiu Feng is obviously one of the optimization directions that many manufacturers urgently need.

But as he watched, He Xiaoyang's expression changed slightly.

He knows many of the people in the latest post!

“Isn’t the person who posted this post exactly He Chao from Xiaomi?”

"And this...isn't it Wei Ming from Viov?!"

"Unexpectedly, they also noticed this article and were looking for Qiu Feng's contact information..."

"Besides, this is just a post, I'm afraid there are more people paying attention in the dark!"

Thinking of this, He Xiaoyang suddenly felt a sense of nervousness and hurriedly turned to look at his assistant.

"Xiao Liu, from today on, you will help me keep an eye on the forum every day. If Boss Qiufeng registers, notify me immediately!"

"good!"

…

the other side.

Just as He Xiaoyang guessed, there are not a few people who pay attention to Qiu Feng because of the technical document "Underlying Optimization Logic of Android System".

At this time, the domestic software development industry was far less developed than later generations. The technical personnel of most companies were only domestic talents, and there was very little communication with each other.

He Chao, leader of the third team of Xiaomi Group's R\u0026D department, also noticed the existence of Qiu Feng.

Just after twelve o'clock at noon, He Chao, who had been busy for a long time, opened the "Frontier Technology" forum and once again refreshed the list of the latest registered users.

"Still not registered!"

He Chao exhaled a little disappointedly.

His judgment was basically the same as that of Huawei's He Xiaoyang. He also believed that Qiu Feng should be a senior engineer abroad. It may be that due to some reasons, it is inconvenient to reveal his real name, which makes him more mysterious.

Because of this, he admired and even worshiped this mysterious Qiufeng boss even more.

He sighed with emotion, and at this moment, his immediate boss, Mr. Xiao from the Technology R\u0026D Department, walked in.

"Ah Chao, a new research and development task."

He Chao was stunned for a moment, and then took the information handed over by his boss, Mr. Xiao.

Taking a closer look, I was a little surprised.

“Mr. Xiao, wasn’t the second team working on optimizing ‘Honor of Kings’ before?”

"Why did you give us three groups?"

Mr. Xiao smiled and said:

"The second team has other projects temporarily, what's wrong? Don't you three teams have the confidence to optimize the 'Honor of Kings'?"

"This may be related to the next gaming phone launched by the product department specifically for 'Honor of Kings'!"

He Chao smiled, but he knew about this.

Not long ago, a special mobile phone for playing "Honor of Kings" was launched on the market. What is it said...

Luban No. 8? !

Sales are very good.

To this end, the product department quickly established a project team and is also preparing to launch a dedicated mobile phone for "Honor of Kings".

"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, leave it to me. Isn't it just a game optimization for 'Honor of Kings'?"

"By the way, I remember that the competing product I was referring to was... Luban No. 8?"

Mr. Xiao also laughed, nodded and said:

"Well, Nietzsche's mobile phone, Luban No. 8!"

“The requirement of the product department this time is that the new mobile phone system’s optimization of ‘Honor of Kings’ reaches the level of Nietzsche mobile phones.”

"Nietzsche mobile phone..."

He Chao nodded confidently.

"Don't worry, just leave it to us."

After saying this, seeing his immediate boss Mr. Xiao preparing to leave, He Chao suddenly asked again.

"Mr. Xiao, can you tell us what new projects the second team has?"

Mr. Xiao stopped and turned his head.

"Last year, the sales of our Redmi series tablets were not good. Whether they were self-operated or third-party platforms, they were suppressed by Lenovo and Huawei."

"This time the senior management wants to re-launch a tablet computer. I just heard that our Redmi and Pinxixi have reached an agreement and are preparing to open a store on Pinxixi..."

"So, the second team is going to help Redmi develop a brand new tablet this time, and work through several channels to regain the market!"

He Chao was stunned.

Red rice?

Fight Xixi?

tablet?

He couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Isn't the Redmi tablet going to be a massacre now? Especially in Pinxixi, isn't that a dimensionality reduction attack?!"

…

June 3rd.

Various matters for Nietzsche's first tablet computer, "Morning Light", are already progressing rapidly.

At the same time, the financial statements for the previous months are also compiled.

Currently, Nietzsche Mobile has only two products in total.

"Nietzsche A7" was officially launched in February, with sales of 10,700 units and net profit of 1.05 million.

In March, the sales volume of "Nietzsche A7" reached 15,000 units, with a net profit of 1.5 million yuan.

Although the "Nietzsche A7" suffered from the impact of the replacement promotions of Jinli and Kupai in April and May, the sales volume still remained at 14,000 and 11,500 units, with the overall profit reaching 2.6 million.

Sales are good though.

But Mo Ran also noticed that after three months of hot sales of the "Nietzsche A7", sales inevitably fluctuated downwards.

According to the current momentum, the "Nietzsche A7" can probably maintain good sales for about half a year, and then it may continue to decline.

But this is normal. This is the normal sales cycle of a mobile phone.

After making a mental note to ask Hao Technology to start the "Nietzsche A7" replacement work in two months, he looked at the sales of the "Luban 8" mobile phone launched just last month.

The sales volume of "Luban No. 8" totaled 30,900 units.

To Mo Ran's surprise, the best-selling product was the 599 yuan [Play Edition].

but.

Because the profits of the 1,499 yuan and 1,999 yuan configurations are higher, the final total profit reached 6 million yuan.

So far, excluding the official sponsorship fees for "Glory of Kings", Nietzsche has made a net profit of nearly 8.5 million yuan!

What makes Mo Ran even more happy is that the system points have reached 3 million points!

If he continues to earn points at the current rate, it won't be long before he can purchase some designated technologies!

Apart from being happy, Mo Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Now Nietzsche is finally on the right track.

But soon.

His thoughts returned to the newly acquired technologies, and he thought of the journal "Science Frontiers".

He already knew the news that the two scientific papers were selected last time. At the same time, he once again received an invitation code letter from the column team.

He was not very interested in the forum or the invitation code to register, so he simply looked at it and closed it directly.

However, now there was a new problem before him.

This time, the system rewarded him with several technologies. If he published them all at once, it would probably arouse suspicion.

After thinking about it, Mo Ran decided not to publish other technologies for the time being, but to write out the "3D face recognition technology" first.

Just do whatever you want, and three hours later, an article titled "Technical Speculations on Face 3D Recognition Technology" was written.

This time, he was not in a hurry to submit.

After standing up and stretching, I suddenly noticed a familiar figure suddenly appearing outside the office door.

He felt a thump in his heart, and then, a faint scent of fragrance drifted in.

It's gentle.

The office door closed gently, and Wen Wan, dressed in a fresh and ladylike style, walked over.

"younger brother……"

"Are you free tonight?"

Wen Wan was still so gentle, and her big eyes looked at Mo Ran expectantly.

Mo Ran was silent.

If it had been in the past, he would have refused without hesitation.

But……

Since the last time Wen Wan helped him contact the staff of King of Glory, he and Wen Wan had unknowingly had more interactions.

He took a deep breath, then raised his head and asked:

"What's wrong, Wen Wan."

Wen Wan laughed.

"Let's have a meal together, just as you repay my last favor."

…

The headquarters of Nietzsche Mobile is located in the West District of Chengdu, while the most prosperous areas of Chengdu are in the South District and East District.

Mo Ran originally thought that Wen Wan would go to the bustling south, but he didn't expect that just after the car started, Wen Wan stopped at a restaurant not far from the company.

"That's it."

"okay!"

Mo Ran naturally had no objection. After a simple dinner, Wen Wan stood up and proactively suggested:

"Brother, let's go for a walk?"

"You're not going home?"

"Come for a walk with me."

Mo Ran suddenly felt something was wrong, but before he could think about it, Wen Wan was already quietly walking in front.

He hurriedly followed, initially still resisting, but the evening breeze blew by, the moonlight reflected, and the shadows of the two of them overlapped slightly.

At this moment, his heart suddenly felt calmer than ever before.

In the past few months, he had been busy with Nietzsche's company almost every day, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.

Looking at the gentleness in front of him that was as gentle as the moonlight, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Maybe, it's just fine as it is."

But at this moment, Wen Wan suddenly stopped.

Under the moonlight, she looked at Mo Ran affectionately for a long time.

"Brother, I am 28 this year."

"I'm going on a blind date."
