rise in technology

Chapter 87 Sales Activities

American Empire, California, Little Apple headquarters.

Since the death of Jobs, Cook has taken over the small Apple company, and still runs the company according to the direction of Jobs' era. Originally, everything was going smoothly, but the sudden emergence of a technology company in Huaguo broke all the company's problems. plan.

Cook rubbed his temples, a burst of tiredness hit him, he ate several mints, woke up, looked at everyone present and said: "Gentlemen, you all watched the video of Huaxia Xinke's press conference. Come on! What do you think?"

Patty has been an employee of the Little Apple Company for more than ten years. He is nearly fifty years old, with a serious expression and a hoarse voice: "Mr. Cook, according to the information sent back by the company's employees, it is obvious that this is all true. However, according to our analysis, the functions of Huaxia Xinke's mobile phone are basically impossible to realize with the current technology."

"Impossible?" Cook stood up, slapped the table vigorously and said, the mints in his mouth were all sprayed out of his mouth, and said angrily: "Every year the company allocates a certain amount of research funding for you, and you Just give me a sentence of 'impossible to achieve'? I want to ask the people in your R&D department, have you eaten all the money in kickbacks (translator spoof)?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cook, there's really nothing we can do." Patty lowered her head a little ashamed.

Cook took a deep breath, realized his gaffe, and returned to his seat again. He didn't want to cause any bad influence, so he calmed down some angry emotions, and then said: "Take Hua Guo Production numbers are lower, we don't sell as much as before."

"The order has been issued, and the production quantity has been reduced over there."

Cook nodded, and then said again to Patty with his head down: "Patty, now let me study carefully what is going on with Huaxia Xinke's holographic projection technology. I need to see the research report as soon as possible."

"Okay! Mr. Cook, I will study it carefully." Patty replied without confidence.

"Also, postpone the release time of Apple 7, and I'm making a decision on when it will be released." Cook continued.

The release time of Apple 7 had already been decided, but it had to be postponed again because of Huaguo's holographic phone. Thinking of this, Cook clenched his fist again, and there was an unquenchable anger in his heart.

Based on the current situation, Little Apple's mobile phones are completely uncompetitive. As can be seen from the sales of Little Apple SE, it is facing various wireless charger mobile phones, graphene battery mobile phones, and wireless headset mobile phones from China. , what can stand on its own is the system and application.

However, Huaxia Xinke's mobile phone has completely plunged Apple into the abyss. They have solved the shortcomings of Android's hardware, so Apple's system has no advantage.

But Cook is not very nervous. There are markets for small Apple companies all over the world, and he still has a lot of time to make up for it. "Okay." Another person in charge of the company replied.

"Other markets just continue to develop according to the original plan." Cook thought for a while and said.

Suddenly, a company's regional manager rushed to the meeting room and said, "It's not good, Huaxia Xinke has blacklisted our company."

"Blacklist plan? What is that?" The US Empire has never heard of it. Cook looked at this person, his face was not very good. Not everyone can break in during a meeting. Obviously this person fate has been sealed.

"The blacklist plan means that Huaxia Xinke will no longer provide any product and technical support to the manufacturers included in the blacklist plan." A product manager next to Cook said.

Cook shook his head. No matter how awesome the company is, it has never heard of any blacklist plan. The behavior of the Chinese people is really incomprehensible.

But they never thought that this blacklist plan would determine the fate of a company in the future.

. . . . . . . . .

The press conference ended in people's astonishment. Dongzheng T1's mobile phone triggered a discussion on the functions of mobile phones. What should a mobile phone be defined as?It will not only be used for making calls, nor will it be used only for entertainment, it should be the core of human technology.

Of course, Zhang Wenkai didn't pay too much attention to the discussion among the general public, and he could discuss it as he likes. For him, the holographic mobile phone is just a job for his company to come to the stage.

At this time, Zhang Wenkai was sitting in the office thinking about the sales plan of Dongzheng T1 mobile phone.

Due to the rush of the press conference, the number of mobile phones has not been produced that much, and the design of Dongzheng T1 my mobile phone is also very complicated. After a period of debugging, the number of mobile phones produced must not be much.

There are only [-] finished mobile phones. Zhang Wenkai tapped the table rhythmically with his hands. The [-] finished mobile phones are still produced by Dongzheng Subsidiary.

"The announcement on the official website said that due to the complicated production process, the company will take out [-] mobile phones and conduct a limited-time and limited snap-buying activity on the official website." Zhang Wenkai said to Liu Huiqin, the company's sales manager.

Liu Huiqin's eyes rolled, this is not a good way, because there are not many stocks now!As long as a little time is given, the mobile phone can be produced.

"Okay, I'll arrange the relevant personnel right now," Liu Huiqin said.

Then Zhang Wenkai turned to Zhao Tianzhi and said: "Servers, get more servers. We must not cause any problems to the website."

In the past, the company only had a few servers, which were used simultaneously to provide the official website and the smart housekeeper. With the increase in the use of the smart housekeeper and the recent activities on the official website, the servers will definitely be stretched.

Zhao Tianzhi nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you going to enter the overseas market?"

Hearing Zhao Tianzhi's words, Zhang Wenkai hesitated. He must enter the overseas market, but in terms of the current output, there is no condition to enter the overseas market. Finally, he decided to shelve this issue for the time being.

"Let's sell it in China first! We'll talk about it abroad later." Zhang Wenkai said slowly.

Everyone nodded in understanding, then turned and left one after another, because there was still a lot of work to be done.

"Mr. Zhao, ask the purchasing department of the company to buy me a large computer." Zhang Wenkai stopped Zhao Tianzhi and said.

Originally, Zhang Wenkai planned to buy a supercomputer, but later he realized that a supercomputer is a kind of national strategic weapon, and money cannot buy it. In the end, he had to settle for the next best thing and buy a large electronic computer.

The main reason is that Xiaona once said that as long as she has a supercomputer, she can invade computers in other countries. Zhang Wenkai intends to gossip about the secrets of various countries, but this wish cannot be realized for the time being.

Moreover, some large-scale research and development will use supercomputers. Ordinary computer performance cannot be applied to research and development and experimental work at all, so supercomputers will be owned sooner or later.

First buy a large electronic computer and use it first, as long as it can temporarily solve the problem at hand.

"Large electronic computers should be sold in China." Zhao Tianzhi nodded in recollection.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Wenkai took out a list, handed it to Zhao Tianzhi and said, "After you purchase the materials in this list, send them directly to my laboratory building."

Zhao Tianzhi took the list, and after just a few glances, he was shocked. Some of the electronic components were okay, some of the large-scale electronic research and development equipment, lithography equipment, etching machines, etc., even Zhao Tianzhi even listened to it. Saying that he had never heard of it, Zhao Tianzhi was a little puzzled. Could it be that the boss wants to develop something else?
Seeing Zhao Tianzhi frowning in confusion, Zhang Wenkai said directly: "I plan to develop a mobile phone CPU."

ha? CPU?Zhao Tianzhi was taken aback. This research and development mobile phone CPU is a gold-absorbing thing. Even if you spend several billions, you may not even be able to beat a wave.

"Mr. Zhang, you need to think carefully about this. After all," Zhang Wenkai pressed his hand before Zhao Tianzhi could finish speaking, and said, "Our mobile phones must be independently developed, and the CPU is definitely the most important thing. It’s not possible, and our mobile phones will definitely sell well, so don’t worry about the funds when the time comes.”

Zhang Wenkai explained in detail for Zhao Tianzhi, in fact, Zhang Wenkai already has Xiaona, and the relevant technology can be obtained from Xiaona, but he can't tell Zhao Tianzhi about Xiaona, so he can only find some other excuses.

At present, apart from Huawei, there is no domestic company that can develop and produce mobile phone CPUs, and the mobile phone CPUs currently used in the market are basically from Taiwan and South Korea.

And Huawei spent more than 400 billion soft sister coins on research and development alone, but is there no mobile phone CPU that can be developed except Huawei?Obviously not. To put it bluntly, it cannot solve the problem of 'traffic jams on the road'.

The problem of 'traffic jam on the road' is not only a problem of management planning, but also a problem of related personnel, but it is definitely not a problem of technological level.

Zhao Tianzhi thought about Zhang Wenkai's words over and over again, and had to say that they were indeed very reasonable. Always relying on others was like water without roots, but he just nodded reluctantly. After all, this was a huge investment, and Zhao Tianzhi also had some feelings in his heart. Shocking, if the research and development is not successful, it will be a big loss.

Zhang Wenkai gave Zhao Tianzhi a reassuring look and said, "This R&D department should be under the name of Huaxia Xinke Research Institute!

Zhao Tianzhi nodded, "I'll start arranging relevant technical personnel here." The specific researchers still need to be recruited again, after all, the company does not have technical personnel in this field.

Moreover, it is not too difficult to recruit personnel. Chinese computer engineers in the Silicon Valley of the American Empire alone account for a large proportion. It is still relatively backward in foreign countries.

This is like many young people who have developed in big cities. Obviously they can return to their hometowns and build their hometowns, but after returning to their hometowns, they find that they cannot find a job at all. Even if they find a job, it is a job with very low technical content. It was sold at a low price, so the knowledge I learned is completely useless!
This is also the case for some of these Chinese engineers abroad.

If Zhang Wenkai really establishes a mobile phone CPU research and development base, he will definitely be able to attract many talents.

"Okay, let's do it quickly!" Zhang Wenkai left the office after speaking.
