Pei Qian thought about it. An important factor in the success of the OTTO E1 mobile phone before was that it used a lot of mature designs from the supply chain to ensure the quality control of the mobile phone. In addition, it also provided additional services such as replacement and no repair.
This is the brand name of this high-end mobile phone.
So, what if we do the opposite now?
If we only use immature designs in the supply chain, wouldn't this quality control be guaranteed?
Of course, Pei Qian does not intend to cheat consumers. If the yield rate is not good, he will just replace it without repairing it. If it is not possible, he will give more compensation. Then, while the after-sales cost of OTTO mobile phones will increase, the reputation will become worse and the sales volume will drop, triggering a chain reaction...
Isn’t this a win-win?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Pei Qian said: "What are the latest technologies in the supply chain now?"
Chang You thought for a while and said: "The latest technology... should be full-screen technology and pop-up cameras. This should be the mainstream solution next year. As far as I know, several large mobile phone manufacturers such as Shenhua have developed similar phones.
type of plan.”
"However, the full-screen solution will also bring certain problems, such as increased weight of the mobile phone, increased cost, poor waterproof performance, poor heat dissipation, reduced yield rate, etc. The only advantage is that the front is a whole screen
, looks relatively good.”
"Therefore, these major manufacturers do not consider full-screen as a solution for flagship models and mass-market models."
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, this is good, that's it!"
Pei Qian certainly has some predictions about the development trend of mobile phones.
Full-screen is definitely the future development trend. Before the perfect full-screen solution such as under-screen cameras can be mass-produced, water droplets, bangs, hole-digging and pop-up cameras will definitely exist as alternatives for a long time.
Pop-up cameras will be popular for a relatively short period of time, but will soon be replaced by water droplets and hole digging due to various problems.
Of course, some flagships with 3D structured light may adopt the notch solution, but it obviously has nothing to do with OTTO Technology, which does not have much technical reserves.
Although the pop-up camera solution has been finalized, the conventional pop-up camera solution still has a high chance of success. Pei Qian has to think of other ways to be safer.
"According to the current plan, where exactly is the pop-up camera located?" Pei Qian asked.
Changyou immediately replied: "Of course it is on the top, Mr. Pei. It is usually arranged on top of the mobile phone. Some are on the left, some on the right, and some in the middle. The structures are different, and the internal layout of the mobile phone is naturally different, but the difference
Not big."
Pei Qian nodded: "Well...since others are doing the best, we must not be the same as them."
"Let's do this, let's do it from the side!"
"Just do it on the upper side of the long side on the left side of the phone!"
Chang You was confused: "Huh?"
It is indeed a relatively common solution to place the pop-up camera in the upper left corner of the mobile phone. But the upper left corner is on the short side and pops up vertically; but Mr. Pei wants to put it on the long side and it pops up horizontally.
!
This is too strange!
Of course, this position is not too outrageous, because no matter whether you hold the phone with your left or right hand, the lower part of the phone is not suitable for a pop-up camera. It is easily blocked by your hand, so it can only be used on the upper part of the phone.
.
But normal people must do it on the top, right? How can anyone do it on the side?
When this camera pops up, if you think about it, it looks like the number "7", which is outrageous.
Chang You hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Pei, if we put a pop-up camera at this location, wouldn't it be symmetrical enough? It might look ugly, right?"
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Asymmetrical? Hmm... Then you can add a pop-up camera in the upper right corner or lower left corner to make it symmetrical."
Chang You: "???"
God made two pop-up cameras!
Changyou said that it is asymmetrical, mainly because he thinks that the camera should be moved to the middle, whether it is the middle of the upper side or the middle of the left side, at least it will look better.
In the end, Mr. Pei actually understood that he wanted to make two pop-up cameras symmetrical?
Isn't this funny!
For a good mobile phone, even one pop-up camera is too much. Having so many pop-up cameras is a waste!
Chang You said: "That is definitely inappropriate..."
Pei Qian waved his hand: "Yes, just do it in the position I said. Okay, this is the design. You can consider the other details yourself."
Chang You opened his mouth, but seeing Mr. Pei's firm attitude, he didn't say anything in the end.
Obviously there is a deeper meaning in Mr. Pei's words. It is not appropriate to ask more questions at this time. It is better to figure it out carefully next time.
Pei Qian continued: "In addition to developing mobile phones, there are other projects for you. This project requires you to work closely with the managed gym and Yangyang Games to complete it together."
When he heard that it was a project that required three departments to join forces to complete, Chang You certainly took it very seriously and put the cell phone issue aside for the time being: "Mr. Pei, please tell me."
Pei Qian said: "Develop a smart fitness equipment. You are responsible for finding the foundry and doing product design; the managed gym is responsible for providing technical support and can also be used as a display store; Yangyang Games is responsible for developing the fitness equipment that matches it.
game."
Chang You was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "So, Mr. Pei, what is this smart fitness equipment?"
If it weren't for Mr. Pei's extremely serious expression, Chang You almost thought that Mr. Pei was always joking with him.
As for why Pei Qian emphasized that the three departments should work together on research and development...
Because he found that the more departments involved in a project, the higher the resources and budget that can be used!
Just like the development of "Mission and Choice", if it is only developed as a game project or a movie project, it can only cost one amount; but if you make both a game and a movie, you can spend more than the original two budgets combined.
More money is needed!
What's more, Pei Qian has discovered that even if only one department is responsible for one project, there is nothing that can stop them from suddenly and inexplicably starting to collaborate.
In that case, the harm would be even greater, because Pei Qian was not alert and could not tell when he would be stabbed suddenly.
In this case, why not let many departments develop the new project together from the beginning, proactively arrange for your cooperation, and the entire project development process can be monitored in real time, so that you will not be stabbed in the back for no reason, right?
Wouldn't it be three times happier if three departments worked together on a failed project with three times more budget?
Changyou asked: "Mr. Pei, this smart fitness clothes drying rack you are talking about...what exactly is it?"
Pei Qian coughed twice and said: "Family fitness has always been a very important fitness scene. Although going to the gym has better fitness effects, for most people who are relatively homebound, traveling all the way to the gym is a waste of time.
It’s a troublesome thing and it’s hard to stick to it.”
"After already having a managed gym, developing a home fitness product will help expand our fitness product line! At the same time, it is also in line with the healthy living concept of 'Tengda Life'."
"The most fatal problem with current home fitness products is that they can easily become clothes drying racks. Whether it is a treadmill, elliptical machine, spinning bike or bench press rack, it is difficult for them to escape the fate of becoming clothes drying racks."
"This actually highlights a very critical user demand. Do you think, why do users use these fitness equipment as clothes drying racks? Is it because they are lazy? Don't they want to exercise?"
"not necessarily."
"I think the more critical reason is that there are not enough places to dry clothes in their homes! If there are enough places to dry clothes, why do they have to hang clothes or sheets on fitness equipment?"
"So, this is a very important customer need."
"Customers who buy these home fitness equipment actually have two needs: the first need is fitness; the second need is drying clothes. But traditional fitness equipment actually fails to meet both needs!"
"So, we have to solve this pain point for our customers!"
"Our fitness equipment is designed to have the function of drying clothes. In this way, in terms of the function of drying clothes, our products are better than ordinary fitness equipment and are more practical!"
"Among all home fitness equipment, our product is the best for drying clothes; among all clothes drying racks, our product is the only one with fitness functions."
"This is the core competitiveness of the smart fitness clothes drying rack! And it is foreseeable that this kind of product will never appear on the market for a long time in the future!"
"For users, if they buy a fitness equipment and it becomes a clothes drying rack, they will always feel it is a pity and will not recommend it to others. But if you think about it the other way around and buy a clothes drying rack, you can still use it for fitness.
Just look at it, it’s a great deal!”
Chang You blinked his eyes and was dumbfounded.
Mr. Pei is simply a logic genius!
It's like the joke. If you say you smoke while reading, it will be very bad; but if you say you smoke while reading, it instantly becomes inspirational.
If fitness equipment is reduced to a clothes rack, people will feel very disadvantaged; but if it is a clothes rack used for daily exercise, it will instantly feel like a huge profit!
But when I think about it carefully, I still feel that something is wrong the more I think about it...
Chang You thought for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Pei, why should this equipment be made intelligent? What kind of game would you like to ask Shangyang Games to develop together?"
Pei Qian fell into a brief silence.
Because of these two issues, he really hadn't thought about it. He simply thought that this would raise prices and reduce sales, and he didn't have any special plan.
A home fitness equipment is of no use in the first place. It easily eats up dust and takes up space. Turning it into a smart device only increases the cost and is of no use. Plus the cost of games...
It will definitely be a loss!
But this reason cannot be told to Changyou.
Pei Qian could only pretend to be profound and said: "This issue requires your three departments to think about it together."
