Chapter 676 Must be listed as a national key development industry
Chen Xiao learned through overseas media that the HTC G1 mobile phone has been released in the United States and has begun to be sold in the United States and European countries.
This kind of news has not been widely publicized, and American consumers are not as interested in HTC G1 as when Apple's 3G mobile phone was launched.
But Chen Xiao knew that the launch of this mobile phone would completely change the status quo of the mobile phone industry.
It also means that the smartphone era, dominated by Android and Apple’s iOS, has officially arrived.
HTC G1 is customized by American operators and manufactured by HTC. It uses the Android operating system developed by Android, a subsidiary of Google.
This mobile phone has a 3G network, large touch screen and full keyboard operation. The camera uses a 3.1 million pixel, 35 mm rear camera.
The battery is only 1150 mAh, the official talk time is 5 hours, and the standby time is 130 hours.
The processor uses Qualcomm 7201, which has a main frequency of 528 MHz.
The memory is 192 MB of ram and 256 MB of room, but it supports MicroSD card expansion.
In terms of hardware, the CPU of this phone is far behind Nokia's feature phones, and it is not far behind compared to the iPhone 3G.
But because this is the first Android phone, the actual usage experience may not be as good as some feature phones.
So when HTC's G1 was released, sales started low but then increased, and finally reached the terrifying figure of 1.5 million units, which also opened a glorious era for HTC.
In foreign media, reports on the HTC G1 mobile phone only include a very simple frame of text the size of a tofu block.
Most reviews say that this is the world's first Android phone, and there will be no more.
In 2008, Xia Guo was still in the era of feature phones.
Most domestic consumers still use feature phones, and a small number of young or middle-aged people use Nokia's Symbian phones and have no understanding of iOS or Android.
And it is a pity that although Xia Guo joined the Android Alliance in the early years, this kind of participation was more passive than active, so the HTC G1 mobile phone was not sold in Xia Guo in the end.
Chen Xiao cut out the report, handed it to Luo Ning and said, "Have someone go to the United States to get me a mobile phone like this."
Luo Ning certainly knows that the boss is not buying a mobile phone to use it himself, but to know himself and the enemy to prepare for Changtian Technology's smartphones in the future.
But Luo Ning is very surprised. At present, Changtian Technology's mobile phone production has all been connected in terms of design, production and sales.
Even the prototype is in the final design.
It stands to reason that the boss should seize the time to finalize the prototype and release it into production as soon as possible to gain a place in the post-Nokia era.
But the boss didn't seem to be worried at all.
Even HTC released its first Android phone, and the boss was not in a hurry.
So Luo Ning asked: "Mr. Chen, I think we have the strength to release the world's first smartphone equipped with Firefly OS by the end of this year. Why haven't we taken any action yet?"
Chen Xiao has actually been thinking about this issue.
When is the best time to get involved in the mobile communications business?
Is it better to intervene sooner?
This doesn't seem to be the case.
For example, HTC is the first manufacturer in the world to release a smartphone with Android operating system.
But within the next few years, HTC was like a flash in the pan and disappeared from the entire mobile phone market.
Later, Motorola, LG, including Lenovo, Coolpad and other mobile phone brands that were the first to enter the Android camp in China, have either disappeared from history, or have become niche brands, only sold in a single country or region.
Most consumers around the world have not yet established the habit of using smartphones, and HTC's G1 mobile phone is still far from a true touch-screen mobile phone.
At this time, it is not the most appropriate time for Changtian Technology to enter the mobile phone market.
When exactly is the right time?
Chen Xiao felt that he still had to wait.
So Chen Xiao said to Luo Ning: "The current Internet level and people's consumption habits in Xia State are not suitable for the survival of smartphones."
"I still have to evaluate the market when we will release Changtian Technology's own smartphone."
"We may need to wait until most consumers in Xia Guo have adapted to the new Internet smart life. By that time, we will attack and get twice the result with half the effort."
Luo Ning felt that the boss's analysis made sense.
Because the headquarters and main consumer groups of Changtian Technology are in Xia Kingdom.
When Xia State's network facilities, Internet applications and other basic hardware had not yet met the requirements for using smartphones.
If Changtian Technology forces the launch of smartphones, it may achieve half the result with half the effort.
That's when the gains really outweigh the losses.
After all, a smartphone is not just a mobile phone, but an Internet interaction platform.
Nowadays, the content of the Internet is very expensive and scarce, so it is absolutely irrational to immediately build a platform like smartphones.
Before Chen Xiao was reborn, overseas smartphone giants were waiting for Xia Country's consumption level and Internet ecology to catch up before bringing their smartphones to Xia Country for sale.
Therefore, Changtian Technology's current launch of smartphones in Xia Guo is still too advanced and cannot achieve the desired results.
And if the smartphone is directly launched overseas, there will be no market that is beneficial to Changtian Technology, and there will be too many uncertain factors.
After such analysis, Luo Ning also believes that Changtian Technology has made a very correct decision in not rushing to release smartphones.
But since the boss hopes to buy an HTC G1 mobile phone.
Luo Ning still tried to find a way to ask colleagues in the United States to help with purchasing.
………
Xia Kingdom.
After Faxi Electric Power Company, Lion City Electric Power Company, Madai State Electric Power Company and many other world-renowned power companies signed contracts with Changtian Technology.
The Xia Kingdom's public opinion circles shocked the whole country.
Especially those intellectuals and forum owners in Xia who have been following the West.
They simply can't believe that Western countries, which have been criticizing Changtian Technology's microbial power generation technology for harming nature and human society, would now be so crazy about signing a contract with Changtian Technology.
in a forum.
Netizens in Xia Kingdom have gone crazy.
"The original poster once concluded that no country in the West would be willing to introduce microbial power generation technology! As of today, two traditional Western countries have signed contracts with Changtian Technology!"
"Moreover, Changtian Technology has sent a technical team to France to guide the construction of the first microbial power station in France. How do you explain this to the poster?"
"Not only France, but also Japan and South Korea also sent representatives to Changtian Technology's Nagazezhou this time, and they also hoped to spend a lot of money to purchase Changtian Technology's microbial power generation technology, but this was rejected by Changtian Technology! May I ask this?
What does the original poster think of this matter?"
The author, Zhang Kaiyang, lives in Shanghai and is an executive of a foreign company.
When I have nothing to do, I usually go online to manage the forum, promote the high-quality life in the West and high-quality residents, and criticize various aspects of Xia Kingdom.
After the incident during the Olympic Games in which microbial power generation technology was maliciously poisoned by Western media.
Zhang Kaiyang immediately posted many posts on the forum.
Some are directly paraphrasing reports from Western media.
What is more, based on the reports of Western media, they add insult to injury and criticize Changtian Technology.
Zhang Kaiyang commented a month ago: "Changtian Technology's microbial power generation technology is destined to never be accepted by Western countries. It does not conform to Western ethics and culture, nor does it conform to the advanced ethics and culture of mankind."
Who knew it was only a month ago.
Zhang Kaiyang was slapped in the face.
He had no choice but to quickly delete the post and lock the forum.
But how could excited netizens let this opportunity pass?
Immediately launch a comprehensive counterattack against arguments similar to Zhang Kaiyang’s in various forums and post bars.
Relevant departments of Yanjing.
Relevant leaders and staff are wondering how the microbial power station will end and whether to close the microbial power station in the Olympic Village.
Suddenly I saw that power companies in so many countries have signed microbial power generation contracts directly with Changtian Technology.
Everyone still felt quite shocked.
And I feel that Westerners have double standards.
On the one hand, you are scolding that your technology may harm the world.
On the other hand, I quickly approached Changtian Technology to sign a cooperation agreement.
Isn't this disgusting?
A few days ago, the relevant power and energy departments asked the Xia Academy of Sciences to contact Changtian Technology, saying that everyone attaches great importance to Changtian Technology's microbial power generation technology and wants to reach a heavyweight agreement and scientific research industry alliance with Changtian Technology.
The purpose of saying this is to calm Changtian Technology’s anger during the Olympics.
As for whether we should establish an industrial cooperation alliance and whether we should make microbial power generation a heavyweight scientific research subject in the country.
There is actually no final conclusion on this matter.
Now seeing the cooperation agreements signed with Changtian Technology by many countries including France, Lion City, Maldives, etc., the relevant national departments are indeed unable to sit still.
Western countries are not fools. They would invest billions to sign contracts with Changtian Technology. It is absolutely impossible for them to just sign a contract and play for fun.
Especially for countries such as France, which have spent billions, they will definitely receive several times or even 10 times the remuneration from the contract before they can sign such a contract.
So this matter is enough to attract the attention of the country.
After everyone reported the relevant situation to the superiors, the relevant departments became even more angry.
"Changtian Technology is our domestic technology enterprise! The microbial power generation technology developed is also the first to be used in China!"
"Changtian Technology even established the world's first real civilian microbial power station in the Olympic Village under our noses!"
"Now when we want to close this power station, overseas countries are frantically introducing technology to generate electricity for a living."
"Do you think this technology is good or bad? Can it be promoted or cannot be promoted?"
This sentence made the relevant personnel in the power and energy departments dare not answer without saying a word.
It feels like putting a roast chicken at home for everyone to enjoy as soon as possible.
Everyone thinks that this roast chicken is too easy to come by? Will it cause diarrhea after eating? Is it expired? Are there any preservatives added, etc.?
But just when everyone was hesitating.
The neighbor next door, Lao Wang, walked over immediately after smelling the aroma, snatched the roast chicken in one hand, swallowed it in his stomach in two or three times, and even posted it on WeChat Moments.
It really makes people very unhappy.
"We will contact Changtian Technology immediately! Establish relevant scientific research and promotion and application work on microbial power generation as soon as possible!"
It also said: “Work must be carried out with a plan and purpose.
What's the use of you being anxious now? We are going to carry out relevant cooperation with Changtian Technology, so have you thought clearly about the location, time and method of cooperation?"
"Changtian Technology's microbial power generation technology must be listed as a national key discipline and key industrial technology!"
Everyone below said nothing, still thinking that they knew too little about Changtian Technology's microbial power generation technology.
"We need to combine the characteristics of microbial power generation technology and put this technology in large cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai that have a lot of domestic waste and serious power shortages!"
"have you understood!"
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that it would be better to take Changtian Technology's new technology into their own hands.
National energy and power-related departments made decisions immediately.
Senior executives and high-end technical personnel were dispatched to Suzhou and Hangzhou on a special plane, and then to Changzezhou.
They will meet with Qu Ping's team as soon as possible and propose the establishment of two large-scale microbial power plants in Shanghai and Yanjing.
But it is a pity that the negotiation team arrived a step too late.
Qu Ping's team, who is fully responsible for microbial power generation technology, has already set off for France.
And I won’t be able to come back for less than three to five months.
This made everyone quite embarrassed.
The leader of the team, Ma Desheng, general manager of the State Power Company, was even speechless.
Ma Desheng should have been alert when many overseas companies approached him to try to get them to work.
But in the end, it was because I was careless and did not expect that the State Electric Power Company could also cooperate with Changtian Technology.
After many twists and turns, Ma Desheng finally met Wang Xiang through his connections with Xia Guo Academy of Sciences.
Ma Desheng immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate.
Ma Desheng said very seriously: "Microbial power generation technology has been listed as a national key development industry by superior departments!"
"And 500 million yuan has been allocated to support the industrial technological innovation of Changtian Technology!"
"We hope to establish large-scale microbial power stations in Yanjing and Shanghai to explore new ways of energy utilization in the future!"
I saw Ma Desheng who was very anxious.
Wang Xiang was also quite distressed.
Because what Ma Desheng is talking about now was all planned by Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao's original plan was to use the Olympic Games as an opportunity to build the world's first commercial microbial power station in the Olympic Village.
Then the world's first large-scale microbial power station was built in Yanjing, and then the power stations were built in first- and second-tier cities such as Yangcheng, Shenzhen, and Shanghai, which have relatively large populations and relatively expensive energy sources.
It is a pity that the National Electric Power Company is still a little too late. Moreover, the power station located in the Olympic Village is at risk of being shut down at any time.
Based on this situation, Chen Xiaocai decided to develop overseas business first and use overseas to force domestic reforms.
Wang Xiang said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Ma, all our teams responsible for related business have gone to France, and domestic projects cannot be started for the time being."
