Arriving at Outu Technology, Pei Qian subconsciously searched around for Chang You and Jiang Yuan.
But I didn't see it.
Pei Qian was a little confused. Didn't he already reply that he was coming? Why are the two people in charge not here?
Chang You and Jiang Yuan were not seen. Instead, a middle-aged man with a slight bald head and a slightly stout figure came up to him: "Mr. Pei, you are here! The information is in the conference room. I have prepared it. Please come."
Pei Qian looked at him, tried hard to recall, and asked with some uncertainty: "Old Song?"
A smile broke out on Lao Song's face: "Hey, Mr. Pei has such a good memory, do you still remember me?"
Pei Qian took a deep breath. It seemed that he remembered correctly. He smiled and said, "Of course, I have seen the list of acting heads of all departments. How can I admit my mistake."
Only then did he remember that Chang You and Jiang Yuan were both in charge, so of course they went to experience it at the grassroots level!
As for Outu Technology, the acting person in charge has also been changed.
This Lao Song is a senior product manager in the mobile phone department of Shenhua Group. He was responsible for the research and development of Chixing Studio’s Doubt VR glasses.
He is a very capable and thoughtful product manager.
Obviously, Chang You was completely worried about Outu Technology's business, so he found someone he thought was the safest and most reliable person to be the acting person in charge.
Pei Qian said nothing more and followed Lao Song to the conference room.
"Mr. Pei, I have just been acting as the person in charge. I am not familiar with the business yet. If there are any problems, please criticize and correct me in time."
"These two documents are Outu Technology's new mobile phone project and its new smart product project plan."
"Actually, smart product projects are relatively conventional projects, and I shouldn't bother you originally. However, there are some special circumstances regarding the mobile phone project, so I need to ask for your instructions."
As Lao Song spoke, he handed two pieces of information to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian took the two documents and leaned on the sofa to browse them quickly.
Since Lao Song said there is a special situation with the mobile phone, let's check the mobile phone first.
So far, the two flagship mobile phones launched by Outu Technology are very popular and can be considered a great success.
Outu Technology does not engage in mobile phone tactics like some other mobile phone manufacturers. Basically, it only releases one mobile phone a year. As long as it is released, it must be the flagship among flagships, and even if it is last year's flagship, it will not be equipped this year.
It will basically never be outdated.
Of course, the disadvantage is that it is expensive.
There are already two mobile phones, E1 and G1. The former is more expensive, while the latter focuses on gaming, and the response has been pretty good.
It stands to reason that before the development of a new flagship phone, Pei Qian also has to put forward some suggestions to make the phone as unprofitable as possible. But this year, Pei Qian did not interfere because his superficial understanding of mobile phones has been almost overstretched by the previous two mobile phones.
, it has become difficult to think of new, just-right money-losing ideas.
Nowadays, mobile phones as a whole are becoming more and more homogeneous, and there is nothing we can do about it, because the market has such a taste and orientation.
It's nothing more than a higher screen-to-body ratio, a stronger imaging system, continuous improvement in chip performance, further optimization of the system, etc.
Therefore, according to the original plan, Outu Technology will continue the two product lines of E series and G series and launch E2 and G2 mobile phones, which are small facelifts. On the basis of continuing the previous features, the hardware configuration will be mentioned.
, to meet the current needs of consumers.
The new product line has not yet been finalized. Originally, it was intended to be a small-screen and thin mobile phone for women, but Jiang Yuan also knew very well that Mr. Pei always wanted to be different, and small-screen and thin mobile phones are still considered a niche.
Classification, but it is difficult to achieve the "different" effect that Mr. Pei wants.
Therefore, the new product line is still in the planning stage and has been extended to Lao Song.
But now, the situation has obviously changed.
Pei Qian opened the design plan of the mobile phone and immediately frowned.
"Outu X1?"
"Folding screen!"
Pei Qian was a little shocked.
Because in his impression, the flexible screen technology used in folding screen mobile phones will only mature in a few years. Why is it available now?
But then I thought about it, the hardware technology in this world is indeed a lot ahead. The full-screen era of mobile phones has arrived several years ahead of schedule, and it makes sense that folding screen technology is also ahead of schedule.
Since it is a newly emerged technology, it is definitely not perfect and there must be various problems.
And it will be very expensive.
From a pessimistic perspective, this is indeed an opportunity, but from an optimistic perspective, this is also a great opportunity to lose money!
If it is a folding screen that is thick, bulky, and has big gaps, then you probably won’t make much money from it.
Although Outu Technology also has a certain amount of technology accumulation, there should still be a big gap between it and those traditional big-name mobile phone manufacturers in the field of mobile phones, and there should be no obvious advantage in this regard.
Pei Qian comforted himself while opening the design drawing of this X1 mobile phone.
Then he froze.
This is obviously a very mature design!
It adopts a relatively stable inward folding design. The folded front size is similar to that of an ordinary mobile phone. It has a single hole for the popular face and a high screen-to-body ratio. It closes almost seamlessly after folding, which is very natural. And the overall shape is from left to right.
It has a wedge-shaped structure, thick on the right side and thin on the left side. After unfolding, it will be very comfortable to hold with the right hand. When folded, the width of both sides is equal, which makes up for the shortcomings of the thick folding screen as much as possible.
This design gives Pei Qian a familiar sense of déjà vu.
He knows very well that this is probably the most perfect form of folding screen under the current technical level!
This design may not seem complicated, it can even be said to be unremarkable, but sophisticated digital products like mobile phones rely on details to win.
Pei Qian feels that this design is definitely not something that the current Outu Technology can produce.
He flipped back again, and sure enough, this was the latest achievement of Shenhua's mobile phone department, especially the hinge structure, which had invested heavily in research and development and was unique.
However, Shenhua’s mobile phone department is willing to share this patent result with Outu Technology.
Whether it is decentralization or cooperation, in short, it is authorized for use. Of course, Outu Technology must also express something, but in any case, willing to sell this kind of thing is already showing its sincerity.
It's something that even money can't buy.
Pei Qian put down the information and glanced at Lao Song with a complicated expression.
The traitor has been highlighted, and even a blind man can see it.
Lao Song quickly waved his hand: "Mr. Pei, please don't misunderstand, this is not my fault alone!"
"The main reason is that the relationship between Tenda Group and Shenhua Group has always been relatively close. Mr. Pei has helped a lot in Chixing Studio and many other matters, so Mr. Lin Yu is considering continuing to cooperate with Tenda in depth.
.”
"The business positioning of the mobile phone department of Outu Technology and Shenhua Mobile Phone is actually staggered. They do not form a direct competitive relationship with each other, but have a certain complementary effect, so we plan to continue to carry out in-depth cooperation in this aspect."
"As for me, I just happened to catch up. Since I have become the acting person in charge of Outu Technology, I must do a little matchmaking..."
Pei Qian said in his heart hehe.
Make it more difficult for me to lose money!
Shenhua's folding screen solution is indeed the most mature solution at present. If this mobile phone is really made, will it be crazy?
But Pei Qian was powerless. How could he refuse such a good plan?
I can’t think of a reason!
Lao Song is right. There is indeed no direct competition between the mobile phone departments of Tenda and Shenhua. Strictly speaking, Outu Technology’s mobile phones do not constitute direct competition with any other domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
Because other mobile phone manufacturers compete most fiercely in the low-end market, while those struggling to gain a firm foothold are in the mid-range market. In the high-end market, only a few mobile phone manufacturers such as Shenhua and Pineapple can gain a firm foothold.
As for Outu Technology...it is directly in the ultra-high-end market.
So much higher than the high-end market!
Because Outu Technology takes a personalized approach, it is a model aimed directly at Tenda fans, and bundles a large number of exclusive Tenda benefits with the phone. It is really not on the same track as other mobile phone manufacturers.
For people who are used to Outu mobile phones, it is really difficult for them to switch to other mobile phones.
It would be quite interesting for Shenhua’s mobile phone department to link up with Tenda to grab the market for other mobile phones. It’s not like such a big first market can only support one company.
What's more, Tenda also has game projects, and there is the possibility of in-depth cooperation with Shenhua Group in mobile games and other fields.
Therefore, this cooperation is really suitable, and there is no reason to refuse it!
Pei Qian thought for a while, and since he had no reason to refuse, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Find ways to turn opportunities into crises!
The folding screen solution proposed by Shenhua is indeed quite mature. Pei Qian cannot make changes in the large framework, because in that case, the attitude of deliberately messing up will be too obvious.
But it’s okay to fiddle with some details.
It is the details that determine success or failure, and can also show Mr. Pei’s true strength!
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said: "There is no big problem with the plan, but..."
"I think some detailed changes need to be made."
Lao Song was a little surprised: "Oh? Mr. Pei, please speak."
He didn't expect that Mr. Pei could actually put forward opinions.
Because this plan was carefully crafted by the designers of Shenhua Group, everyone felt that it was already perfect and there was no room for further improvement.
Could Mr. Pei be able to come up with some unique solutions from another perspective?
Lao Song did not dare to neglect and listened carefully.
After all, Mr. Pei was also the one who personally designed the fully automatic intelligent bar lift machine and the intelligent fitness clothes drying rack. He also provided key guidance on Outu Technology’s two previous flagship mobile phones, as well as Chixing Studio’s Doubt VR glasses.
And these directions have always proven to be very successful.
Pei Qian confidently said: "I think that although the internal structure of Outu's X1 mobile phone and Shenhua's folding screen mobile phone are almost the same, there must be obvious differences in the external details."
