Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

Chapter 617: Test the waters in the mobile phone market

What Changtian Technology lacks most now is talent.

It's not that there are not many talented students in Changtian Technology, but that there are not many people who have strong ability and can make Chen Xiao trust.

According to the training mode of Changtian Technology, you first have the ability to enter the work of Changtian Technology, and then you have a strong work performance and gain the trust of the group company in the process of superimposing small things, then you have the opportunity to enter Company executives.

In the field of aerospace, there is a law called Hayne's Law.

That is to say, behind a major accident, there must be 29 minor accidents, 300 near misses and 1,000 hidden dangers.

This rule also applies to Changtian Technology's assessment of talents.

If you are conscientious to the company in every performance, then after a few years, you will have a fair and perfect evaluation, be regarded as a reliable person, and the chances of entering the core layer will greatly increase.

This time, Chen Xiao asked Wen Qi to answer the question, in fact, he intended to cultivate Wen Qi, hoping that Wen Qi could enter the core layer of Changtian Technology.

Chen Xiao has confidence in Wen Qi.

After years of training, Wenqi has no financial problems at all, and finance is the core of a company.

In addition, Wenqi had experience in the student union in the university before, and after entering Changtian Technology, she could be regarded as following Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang to fight in the east and west, accumulating a certain amount of experience.

Although Wenqi is not very mature at the moment, Chen Xiao believes that if she is assisted by herself, Wenqi will definitely be able to take care of herself in time.

Wen Qi thought about the question raised by Chen Xiao.

The main problem at present is that there is a lot of waveguide inventory, how to digest it in an optimal way.

Because Changtian Technology Group has just acquired Bird, if the mobile phone is sold at an extremely low price at this time, it will definitely damage the image of Bird after the acquisition by Changtian Technology.

After thinking of this, Wen Qi glanced at Chen Xiao and said, "Mr. Chen, all leaders. I think that since Changtian Technology has acquired Bird, we should turn a new page. The current stock of mobile phones is definitely What was dealt with, on the one hand, was to let the waveguides go light, and on the other hand, some funds had to be returned.”

Wen Qi said: "We can completely label this batch of mobile phones as other brands and sell them to Lamy, Africa and even Southeast Asia. I think since it is to recover funds, then don't mind this batch too much. Whether the mobile phone sells for two hundred yuan or three hundred yuan."

"And I suggest that we sell to overseas operators in batches, which can also save our sales channel resources and costs."

Wen Qi analyzed: "Currently, in developed countries in the West such as Europe and the United States, as well as developed and semi-developed countries in Asia such as South Korea and Toyo, smartphones are already standard, and most of the user groups of feature phones are the elderly, and there is not much market. "

"But this is not the case in Africa and Latin America, or even in Southeast Asia, where the economic level is low and there is still a great demand for feature phones."

"Especially in Africa, there is a huge demand for used phones, let alone new feature phones."

Wen Qi said directly: "When I audited Bird, I specialized in the business related to Bird. Among Bird's sales channels in the past, there were several sellers who specialized in business in Africa and Southeast Asia. Contact and sell these phones to them in a package at a transaction price, and I believe this business should be successful.”

Wen Qi's face turned a little red after she finished speaking. She looked at Chen Xiao, Wang Xiang and others embarrassedly and said, "This is just my preliminary opinion. Please criticize and correct me from the leaders."

Chen Xiao nodded his head very satisfied, and the top management of Changtian Technology gave a round of applause.

Obviously, in terms of the current waveguide situation, this method proposed by Wen Qi is the best.

Not only can the inventory be digested as soon as possible, so that the Bird Company can return some money. It can also not affect the product image of Changtian Technology after the acquisition of Bird.

At this time, Wen Qi raised another question and said, "We are acquiring the assets of Bird and found that in addition to the mobile phones in stock, there are also a large number of stock mobile phone parts. The components are capable of producing around 50,000 mobile phones.”

Wen Qi reluctantly said: "Actually, the price we bought for the waveguide is quite good for the waveguide, because most of them are these negative assets."

Those negative assets that have a price on paper but cannot be realized at all

This time, the senior management of Changtian Technology fell into contemplation again.

A high-level executive said: "Otherwise, let's sell these parts. There are so many copycat mobile phone manufacturers in Shenzhen, and any one can buy them."

In fact, the executives of Changtian Technology are very much looking forward to Changtian Technology being able to make its own mobile phone.

Now that Bird has been acquired, the production line and sales channels are readily available there, and the company does not need to waste time on those parts that cannot be used.

Chen Xiao had a different view.

Since you want to test the water, why not use existing parts?

And Chen Xiao wanted to see how Nokia and other brands responded to Changtian Technology's entry into the mobile phone market.

Chen Xiao said: "To assemble all the parts of this batch, we will name it under a new sub-brand and sell it."

"what?!"

Chen Xiao's thought made everyone feel a little dizzy.

I have just tried to sell the mobile phones in the waveguide inventory to overseas, and now I have to use the remaining components of the waveguide to assemble the mobile phone.

The remaining parts of the waveguide can only produce 2G mobile phones, and it is impossible to produce 3G smartphones.

What is Chen Xiao going to do?

Chen Xiao laughed, glanced at Li Guojun and said, "It shouldn't be a problem to add a camera to the existing motherboard, right?"

Although Chen Xiao's sentence is an interrogative sentence, he was originally born as an IC, so he is not asking for everyone's opinions, but just doing it.

Adding a camera to the existing motherboard, that is, adding a sensor module, is not so difficult, and it is very easy to solve.

Make a phone camera?

This did not touch Li Guojun's knowledge blind spot, because after Changtian Technology acquired Seagull, it gave Seagull some technical information, including mobile phone cameras.

Moreover, Chen Xiao talked with Li Guojun very seriously and told Li Guojun that whether it is a digital camera or a high-precision optical lens of a lithography machine, the market demand is not so large.

What can really make the seagull rise is the mobile phone camera, so Chen Xiao asked Li Guojun to prepare the technical team seriously, and conquer the patented technology related to the mobile phone camera according to the technology handed over by Changtian Technology.

Li Guojun is a smart person. After Seagull was acquired by Changtian Technology, both its performance and technology have doubled. Therefore, Changtian Technology said that mobile phone cameras are very important. Of course, Li Guojun attaches great importance to it.

During this year, Seagull has been frantically breaking through mobile phone camera technology in accordance with the technical guidelines given by Changtian Technology.

At present, the mobile phone camera technology in the hands of Seagull has achieved good results.

The pixel can reach 12 million, and it can also shoot 720P video, and the maximum support for 2584 × 1944 pixel photo shooting.

Such camera technology is far ahead in the entire industry.

Because the most advanced smart phone, the Nokia N95 is nothing but a 5-megapixel camera.

The first-generation Apple iPhone 2G used a 2-megapixel camera.

As far as taking pictures, if you put the Seagull's 12-megapixel camera on a feature phone, it's absolutely invincible.

After the 2008 Olympic Games, Xia Guo will fully enter the era of smart phones.

Chen Xiao is now preparing to use some waste products to make a fortune before Xia Guo fully enters the era of smartphones, drawing a perfect end to the era of feature phones.

When Chen Xiao expressed his thoughts, the entire senior management of Changtian Technology immediately understood what the boss was going to do.

Entering the mobile phone market with feature phones is a sign of weakness to the big players in the current mobile phone market.

The feature phone is equipped with a 12-megapixel camera that even the Nokia N95 of the smartphone does not have. This is to tell the entire mobile phone market that after Changtian Technology acquired Bird, it is not just for fun, but to do it with real guns and live ammunition. product.

Chen Xiao asked Wen Qi: "Wen Qi, according to the current situation you have, how long will it take to assemble these components into a mobile phone with the production capacity of the waveguide?"

Wen Qi said: "The production line of the waveguide is very powerful. It may not take half a month to assemble these components into a finished machine."

The production line of the waveguide is currently an independent factory plus foundry model, which is very common in this era and has a very high efficiency.

When integrating the waveguide industry chain, Chen Xiao is also preparing to incorporate some of the waveguide's independent factories into Tiangong Technology.

Chen Xiao asked Li Guojun again, "Mr. Li, how long will it take for Seagull to produce 50,000 12-megapixel cameras?"

Li Guojun is very knowledgeable about his company. "At present, our orders for lithography machines have basically been delivered. The end of the year is the off-season for SLR camera sales, so we have also stopped some SLR camera lens production lines according to the actual situation."

"Producing a 12-megapixel camera for mobile phones is much simpler than producing SLR cameras. If all our production lines go all out, I expect to be able to deliver in less than half a month."

Seagull was originally a large camera and optical factory in Xia Guo, and its volume and output were there. After being invested by Changtian Technology, it has improved and expanded the production line, so the production of 50,000 cameras is just trivial.

Then comes the most important thing.

After Changtian Technology acquired Bird, who is the head of Bird?

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that Changtian Technology must vigorously develop mobile communication services in the future.

From hardware to ecological chain, these are all industries that Chen Xiao values ​​very much.

Then the head of the waveguide is particularly important.

Everyone looked at Chen Xiao and waited for Chen Xiao's decision.

After Chen Xiao promoted Sun Dong as the CEO of Mozi Communications, everyone knows that Changtian Technology does not look at your education at all when appointing a senior executive, but depends on your actual ability and whether you can gain the trust of the company.

Chen Xiao said: "I appointed Wen Qi as the CEO of Bird Technology Co., Ltd., and I will assist Wen Qi as the assistant to the general manager until the Bird company is straightened out."

Wang Xiang agrees with Chen Xiao's decision very much, because Wen Qi is indeed a person worthy of everyone's trust.

The other high-level executives immediately understood that Chen Xiao wanted to cultivate Wen Qi intentionally, so that Wen Qi could enter the core circle of Changtian Technology.

If Chen Xiao promotes other newcomers, the senior management of Changtian Technology will definitely have opinions. Although he doesn't say it, he may feel uncomfortable in his heart.

But Chen Xiao promoted Wen Qi, and everyone agreed.

Because Wen Qi is not only Chen Xiao's college classmate, but in the eyes of many people, she is Chen Xiao's confidante.

Wen Qi's performance this year is indeed very dazzling, and she also has the ability to serve as CEO, plus Chen Xiao's personal assistance, this is absolutely no problem.

Wen Qi opened her eyes wide, and some couldn't believe Chen Xiao's arrangement.

In the eyes of others, this is definitely a fat difference. If nothing else, the year-end bonus is at least several million.

But in Wen Qi's view, this is a responsibility, and this is Chen Xiao's trust in herself.

That's how things settled.

The senior management of Changtian Technology took their place and worked intensively.

After the meeting, Chen Xiao patted Wen Qi on the shoulder and said, "Don't be under pressure, do it according to your own ideas, just like when we were doing practical homework at school together."

Hearing Chen Xiao comforting herself like this, Wen Qi's nervous mood instantly relaxed.

She smiled, "With you behind me, I can't be under any pressure."

Chen Xiao admired the girl's smile.

Wen Qi's smile is like a blooming white orchid, the corners of her mouth are curved upwards, and she has a little confidence.

"Matching men and women, work is not tiring." Chen Xiao joked and went out to dinner with Wen Qi.

Yanjing~www.readwn.com~Nokia headquarters immediately acquired Bird by Changtian Technology, and the news of its intention to enter the mobile phone industry informed the Nokia headquarters in Esport, Finland as quickly as possible.

Nokia CEO Ollila got the relevant situation report just after the meeting.

The main content of this Ollila meeting is to discuss Nokia's wholly-owned acquisition of Saipan.

Although Nokia is the largest shareholder of Saipan, it does not fully control Saipan.

As Nokia's Symbian smartphone became a global phenomenon, Nokia also realized the importance of controlling the operating system.

But at present, on a global scale, the mobile phones using the Saipan system are not only Nokia, but also Dopod, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, etc., such as some global first- and second-tier brands, and even some similar to Xia Guo. Eastcom, BBK, TCL Waveguide and other brands that are not in the mainstream.

In Ollila's view, the mobile operating system is the key to mastering the right to speak in mobile phones, and a monopoly on Saipan can monopolize the global smartphone market.

So Nokia's acquisition of Saipan is imperative.

After seeing the news from Nokia's Yanjing Xiaguo headquarters, Ollila was even more determined.

Changtian Technology is an old acquaintance of Nokia. This time it entered the mobile phone industry with great fanfare, and it had to attract Ollila's attention.

Ollila said, "Meet!"
