Daguo Technology starts with mobile phones

Chapter 107 Rugged Mobile Phone
Even if the Apple 6s and 6s Plus have been upgraded compared to the previous generation, how much can they be upgraded?When it comes to squeezing toothpaste, there are not many who can beat Apple.

Nebula Technology doesn't play those false ones. It wants to go high-end, that is, it wants to beat Samsung and Apple, and let them see what a flagship is!
Some of the other configuration parameters of the two folding screen flagships will not be made public for the time being, and a small part is still under preparation.

For example, after overclocking the Nvidia Tegra X1 chip, Nebula Technology found Nvidia again and began to discuss cooperation content.

In the end, Nvidia promised to officially announce that the overclocked version of Tegra X1 is a customized chip when Nebula Technology needs it.

If the research and development of Chang Gung 4 fails, Liu Dalang will use the overclocked version of Tegra X1 in the folding screen flagship machine. If it succeeds, this chip will be used in the Xinghuo as originally planned.

It must be fully prepared. After all, Dubai’s $18 folding screen mobile phone has caused quite a stir around the world as soon as it was released.

This novel design has provided a lot of ideas for major mobile phone manufacturers, and Samsung and LG, which are major screen manufacturers, will definitely follow up with research and development.

Nebula Technology not only wants to be ahead of them, but also prevent them from making the same level of folding screen flagship phones for at least two years.

After Samsung's China special press conference ended, within a month, sales continued to rise, and even reached the same level as Xingyu-Ning.

Liu Dalang is not surprised by this result. Nebula Technology has developed too fast, and its foundation and brand power are not as good as Samsung. He admits this.

To be able to compete with Samsung's flagship in China at [-]-[-] is not enough to change to the current Huawei. Of course, the sales of products must not only look at the domestic market.

Samsung officially announced that the sales of Samsung S6 and S6 edge have exceeded 1000 million units in just one month after their launch, and the shipment volume is very scary.

Their official appraiser also made an expectation that the sales of Samsung S6 and S6 edge are likely to exceed 5000 million units this year.

This kind of international influence cannot be achieved by Nebula Technology in a short period of time, because they cannot enter some markets even if they want to.

Fortunately, Nebula Technology has also started to go on the road of internationalization. The products will go out first, and then the localization base and management team will be established later.

At the same time, Dalang Technology was not idle, and the two animations of Superman and Xiaoxing passed the review, and immediately began to premiere on the whole network.

There is not even any publicity, because Nebula Technology has already done publicity before the release of the two animations, so there is no need to do it again.

More than 2000 Dalang directly-operated stores across the country moved the 62-inch version of Dalang TV T15 to the door at the same time, and began to play animation.

This wave of alternative publicity operations immediately increased the popularity of Dalang's directly-operated store, and the popularity of Nebula Technology also increased.

Not to mention the directly-operated store of Dalang, the location of the store itself is in a relatively backward area. This animation-based advertising method is very novel.

When it was broadcast for the first time, a lot of people gathered in front of Dalang's directly-operated store, most of them were students, children and middle-aged and elderly people.

Most of the young people have gone to more developed places to study, find jobs, and work part-time. They will not stay in backward places forever.

So we can see a phenomenon in the society, fourth-tier cities and below, either middle-aged and elderly people, or students below middle school.

Most of the young main productive forces have gone to first- and second-tier cities, resulting in poor places not improving, and rich places getting richer.

The story of the Superman animation is very simple. It is a story of a teenager with superpowers who implements the concept of justice and continues to grow.

His identity is also very simple. He is the son of the manager of a Dalang directly-operated store. His parents have gathered the typical characteristics of Chinese-style parents. He only needs a simple picture to evoke memories.

And Xiaoxing's animation is a kingly and passionate animation. The overall painting style, special effects, and storylines have all been improved to a higher level, very gorgeous!
Once the two animations were broadcast, they immediately sparked heated discussions across the Internet. The plot of Superman is simple, and the plot of Xiaoxing is not complicated, but the overall sense of picture and action special effects are first-class.

In fact, in Huaxia, there is never a shortage of good plots and good IPs, but they lose their spirit in the process of animation and film and television, and the final plots are awkward and ugly.

Compared with the current mainstream Chinese comics, Cooking Cake Superman and Xiaoxing are crushed in terms of production costs, and they will naturally be sought after by many fans.

In just three days, all the Xiaoxing figurines in Xingyun Mall were sold out, and several manufacturers also took the opportunity to launch Xiaoxing mobile phone cases.

Nebula Technology made another sum of money from it. At the same time, the popularity of Dalang's directly-operated stores exposed a new need of ordinary people.

"Chairman, during our investigation, we found that the anti-drop, waterproof, volume, signal, etc. of Dalang's mobile phone cannot meet some needs!"

For low-level consumers, they are engaged in different jobs. In various special scenarios, Dalang mobile phones are obviously not enough.

Mentioning these, Liu Dalang immediately thought of a brand that is famous for its rugged mobile phones, but the price of this brand's rugged mobile phones is relatively high.

After all, the three-proof mobile phone is a niche demand, and the production cost is high, so the higher price is reasonable, but its benefits are very obvious:
Dustproof, shockproof, waterproof, ultra-low temperature resistant battery, long battery life, thermal imaging, infrared night vision, distance measurement, large speaker, strong signal...

There are also some extreme rugged mobile phones that can even block bullets, soak in magma for 10 seconds, and use them continuously for 25 hours in Antarctica.

The disadvantages are also obvious, low configuration, large size, and weight equivalent to two or more ordinary mobile phones, it is not convenient to carry.

I won’t mention these, let Nebula Technology make it now, they can’t produce it, because their research on high-strength materials is not deep.

However, it is relatively easy for Nebula Technology to make a rugged mobile phone that surpasses Nokia in the past, and the cost can be fully suppressed.

"Okay, let's make a detailed statistics for the mainstream rugged mobile phones on the market. I will think about the rugged mobile phones!"

Whether you want to make a rugged mobile phone depends on the actual situation. Liu Dalang wants to do it, because it is not easy to differentiate products these days.

This is especially true for Dalang mobile phones. When the cost is compressed to the extreme, if you want to break through the limitations of the original price range, you must buy something else.

Rugged mobile phones are a good choice. In addition, there are ink screen readers, or barrier-free smartphones with physical buttons.

Compared with touch-screen mobile phones, smart phones with physical buttons are more suitable for people with visual impairments, and the accuracy will be higher.

Barrier-free smartphones are different from rugged phones. This is something that every mobile phone manufacturer must do, and no matter how bad it is, there must be a barrier-free mode.

But even in the end, Apple is the only one that really made a barrier-free mode, and Android manufacturers are still on the way to catch up.

If Nebulas Technology wants to truly win the market and win the recognition of users, it must work hard on humanistic care, and they are working hard for it.

After obtaining the data of mainstream rugged mobile phones on the market, Liu Dalang led the R&D department to conduct a detailed analysis and judged its specific cost.

"Chairman, the hardware profit margin of these three-proof mobile phones is between 40% and 60%!"

Liu Dalang did not expect that the profit margin of the unattractive-looking rugged mobile phone is not low, even reaching the level of Apple mobile phones.

It seems to be feasible!
His purpose is not to grab the market with other brands of rugged mobile phones, because they will not be so crazy and make the three defenses to the extreme.

They only need to upgrade the accessories once based on the original basis of Dalang's mobile phone.

Then Liu Dalang informed Qu Xiangqun to lead the design department and R&D department to start designing.

At the same time, Star Interactive Entertainment's first mobile game: Survival, bloodbathed all major mobile game lists within a month, and hit the first place.

Just as Liu Dalang guessed, Penguin came to invest and buy shares. Since Penguin took the initiative to send money over, they naturally had no reason not to.

Let's make money together, so we can cooperate in the future. If Penguin releases a national e-sports mobile game, Nebula can also get a share.

Anyone can see Penguin's ambition to build a game for all. Just think about how many mobile games with the first two words in the market are all people.

It's a pity that their plan went bankrupt in the end. During the period of Survival's closed beta, the degree of completion is getting higher and higher. If this momentum continues, Survival will be able to truly start the public beta before November.

In order to increase the playability in the later stage, Liu Dalang also provided some suggestions for the survival team with reference to Fortnite, so that they can just watch it.

The other two game project teams are also progressing very fast. The racing game has completed the preliminary test, and the moba game is still in the test.

There is no way, compared to racing games, the balance of moba games is very difficult to master, and Liu Dalang requires a high level of modeling, so the current progress is already considered good.

Although the progress of the three games is slow, the adaptation progress of the Nebula app is not slow. Up to now, more than 1 Nebula apps have been adapted.

Users who use Nebula mobile phones seldom go to the app market to download applications because the user experience of Nebula apps is so good.

Judging from this development momentum, when the number of Nebula applications exceeds 3, the Android application market will be completely marginalized in Nebula OS.

However, the Nebulas OS team will not cancel the Android application market, and put it here not only for comparison, but also for emergencies.

This kind of behavior of Nebula Technology has been condemned internationally by some international giants, who think that they are selfish and have no spirit of cooperation.

Liu Dalang didn't care about it at all, don't open source Android if you have the ability, since you choose open source, you have to bear the risks brought by open source.

This made other mobile phone manufacturers start to hesitate, should they try to give up Android and choose Nebula OS?Or continue to make your own UI?
