Cannon Fodder Dedicated to Death[Transmigration Book]

In the first few days after the release of the Star System, the entire Internet was full of praise and compliments.It even raised Xingji to the glory of the nation, and the phrase "our journey is the sea of ​​stars" became popular all over the Internet again.

There are also some rational voices, saying that the Xingchen system has not been applied to mobile phones, so don’t rush to praise one-sidedly, we have to seek truth from facts, praise if it is good, and encourage improvement if it is not good.

Of course, there is no lack of bad-mouthing voices, who think that Xingchen is definitely not as good as ios and Android, and you can know the background. Xingji has only been established for how many years, and it is impossible to catch up with Apple and Google with all its strength.Now that the cowhide is blowing so loudly, it will be revealed when it goes on the market, and whoever is stupid will buy it.

Of course, this kind of voice caused opposition and refutation from many netizens, but they were all labeled as little pinks and leeks.

There are also black fans, saying that Xingji will buy a new phone, and if you don’t buy it, you are not Chinese.This kind of people aroused Xing Ji's resentment a lot.

For a while, the Internet was like a few drops of water falling into a hot oil pan, and the noise was extremely lively, and no one could convince anyone.However, Xingji really has enough sense of presence. Before new products are released, the sales of the products are rising gratifyingly.

In August, Xingji Group held a new product launch conference, and the mobile phone equipped with the new star system was officially launched for the first time. The name of the new product is different, called ZT1, which is the first letter of "Zhengtu", which shows the ambition of Xingji Technology .

The price of the new product starts at 6288 yuan, and the 512G model is as high as 8688 yuan, which is definitely a high-end machine.

This price is almost close to Apple, the king of the mobile phone industry, and there are all kinds of voices on the Internet for a while.Those who were not short of money paid for it directly, those who were short of money waited and sighed, and some people were waiting and watching.

The bad-mouthing parties are sneering and sarcastic, and the leeks are hurrying to sell their kidneys to support your national glory.

Chen Zhou got the ZT1 for the first time, so he wanted to experience it unboxing.Tang Yun asked Wen Rong to bring it to him long ago.

Although he knew that Wen Zheng would be very upset, he still wrote and recorded this video himself. After all, the first domestic system, as a chip developer, how could he not be proud and not experience it personally?

The new mobile phone is very beautiful. It has changed from the straight male aesthetic style that has been complained about in the past. This time, no matter the size, color, or camera position, it is extremely careful.I heard from Rong Rong that the shape design was decided by Tang Jian, and it was his father Tang Huanyu who made the decision in the past.It can be seen that the aesthetics of gay men is indeed better than that of straight men.

Chen Zhou couldn't put it down when he got the phone, and tried it out. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but soon found that the advantages of this phone were very obvious. It is a hard work that integrates the advantages of Android and makes up for some of its shortcomings.

But there are also some shortcomings, such as the experience of some performance is still a little lacking, the body is slightly thick, easy to get hot, probably because of the problem of self-made system chip, and the price is slightly expensive.

But these flaws do not hide the merits. For Xing Ji, the advantages of this phone are too obvious.In time, it will become the only Chinese brand that can compete with Apple and Samsung in the high-end market.

In addition to the strong promotion of "Xianxing.com", Xingji Company also bought a trending search for Chen Zhou, and the number of clicks and views of this video hit a record high.

The more attention, the more topics, and some people even found out the scandal between him and Tang Yun.Some uneasy and well-meaning people said, no wonder they boasted so hard, it turned out that they were bringing goods to their benefactors.

Chen Zhou really wasn't just bragging about ZT1, he spoke with reason and evidence, and even noticed some professional details of the star system, which can only be discovered by those who really understand.

The sales of ZT1 are extremely hot, especially in overseas markets, because in the past, there was no such price for Chinese mobile phones, so it was the first person to eat crabs, and the response was very good.

Tang Huanyu and his son would probably wake up laughing from their dreams during this period of time. After more than ten years of hard work, they are finally qualified to wrestle with the industry boss.

Compared with the flourishing Xingji, Zhengrong must have declined.Wen Zheng has been a little angry recently, and the launch event of the new phone originally scheduled for October has been postponed.A certain chip had a bug in its design, which was only detected the day before it was sent to the factory for tape-out.To be on the safe side, the R&D department re-verified all the chips.In this way, a lot of time was wasted.

The so-called tape-out refers to the trial production of chips. First, dozens of chips are produced for testing. After passing the test, they can be officially mass-produced.But the tape-out cost is extremely expensive, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, because chip manufacturing is extremely complicated, with thousands of production processes, which is equivalent to the entire chip factory designing a complete manufacturing process for it. Less, but no less money.

It is also a blessing in misfortune to find out before tape-out. Once it is sent to the foundry for tape-out, it will not only delay time, but also cause huge economic losses.

Because of this incident, Zhao Yang was criticized by Wen Zheng. After all, all the company's new products are under his control.Although Chen Zhou is the technical director, he does not interfere with the company's original technology.

Chen Zhou comforted Wen Zheng: "You have to think about the best of this matter. Fortunately, it was found out before the film was released. Otherwise, it will be tested after the film is released, and the loss will not be greater."

"If that's the case, I'll just fire him!" Wen Zheng said angrily.

Chen Zhou said: "You should control your temper. Anyone can make mistakes at work. There is no need to make a fuss about it. Anyway, he will leave next year." Mainly because he was worried about a villain like Zhao Yang With a grudge in his heart, he would bite Zheng Rong back later, after all, he could really betray his boss.

However, if Zhao Yang leaves next year, it should be much earlier than the time when Zhao Yang bites Zheng Rong back in the original work, so maybe the crisis of Zheng Rong can be avoided.

"That's right, let him go after the new year. You will be even busier then, and the R&D department will fall on you." Wen Zheng said.

"Let Ah Rong take care of it, I'll concentrate on developing chips." Chen Zhou said.

"I always feel that he's not doing his job properly, can he do it?" Wen Zheng still doesn't believe in his younger brother's ability.

"You look down on him too much. Didn't he find out the problem this time because he asked for verification? Ah Rong has the ability, you have to let him do it." Chen Zhou said, "At least in terms of management, he He does it better than me. And he understands technology."

Zhao Yang's attitude was quite good. He personally took the lead and re-checked and verified all the chips to ensure that they were correct before sending them to the foundry for tape-out.

Before Zhengrong's R&D meeting had time to start, Apple's R&D meeting was held.Apple’s annual new product launch is usually in September. This year is their big update year, that is, the year of mobile phone replacement. Everyone is looking forward to it, but this year it has been postponed for some reason. The development launch is already in November.

Apple's annual new product launch is very grand. After all, it is a big company with a large audience, the most fans in the world, and the highest attention.

Apple released a new mobile phone this year, and the attention is extremely high.There are many highlights in the new products launched by Apple every year. They are always improving their products, optimizing their performance, or adding some functions.Then, by the way, raise the price, especially in the new generation of this kind of mobile phone, the price increase is already a recognized fact in the industry.

But the most eye-catching thing about Apple this year is not its new features, but its price.The latest Apple mobile phone is priced at 64 yuan for 5699G, and 256 yuan for 6699G.As soon as this quotation came out, the whole world went crazy, and Apple was going to sell it at the price of cabbage!

You know, the price of the previous generation of Apple mobile phones has exceeded [-], and everyone said it was too expensive. People estimated that it would drop a little this time, but they didn’t expect it to drop so much, and the price was almost cut in half.

People realize that Apple is finally going to change its strategy and use price to regain market share.Compared with the ZT1 released by Xingji three months ago, this price is simply too conscientious.Apple mobile phones are famously smooth and beautiful, and now the price is so affordable, why not buy Apple, and choose ZT which is more expensive than it?

On the night of the Apple development conference, Chen Zhou and Wen Zheng were watching the live projection in front of the home theater, and when they heard the quotation, they both gasped.

Wen Zheng turned his head to look at Chen Zhou with some uncertainty: "Am I not mistaken, Apple's update is not strong this year?"

Chen Zhou said: "It's quite big, and the configuration, appearance, and camera functions have all been greatly improved." The price war has really started.

Wen Zheng said, "Then why are they sold so cheaply?"

Chen Zhou said: "Reduce the price and seize the market."

Wen Zheng thought for a while: "Could it be a new product for Xingji?"

Chen Zhou was surprised by Wen Zheng's sensitivity, he was indeed a businessman: "It's possible."

"It depends on how the Tang family and his son play this time. It is more expensive than an apple, so can it still be sold?" Wen Zheng was in a mood of watching the excitement at this time.

Chen Zhou said: "It may be possible to lower the price."

Wen Zheng shook his head: "It's only been two months since it's been on the market. It's impossible to lower the price. It will take at least half a year to lower the price. Otherwise, where will the consumers who just got the mobile phone be? And their cost is too high. The development of this system alone, It will take many years to get back the money. Apple has made a lot of money by guarding its system. Even if it sells for five or six thousand at the moment, the profit is still much higher than ours. Having an autonomous system is self-willed, but it’s a pity that Xingji’s The system came a bit late."

Chen Zhou said: "Don't be afraid of being late, it's better than never."

"That's true." Wen Zheng said in an envious tone. He grabbed Chen Zhou's hand and rubbed it in his palm, "When our cloud mobile phone is made, we will raise the price arbitrarily."

Chen Zhou smiled: "Okay."

Apple's price cut was the first blow Xingji suffered.After Apple went public, the shipments of ZT1 have shrunk significantly, and it is a bit unsold.Immediately afterwards, Samsung's high-end phones also began to cut prices.

This is not the end, the market share of Xing Ji in the low-end market is very advantageous. Its processor is better than other domestic mobile phones, and its technical content is higher.

However, domestic mobile phone brands have also launched price reduction promotions one after another, and each model has a reduction ranging from hundreds to thousands.

Of course Chen Zhou and Wen Zheng knew the inside story, because their chip supplier, Qualcomm, came to talk to them. If they agreed to cut the price, Qualcomm would bear part of the cost.

Everyone in the industry understands that this is Apple joining forces with Samsung and Qualcomm to encircle Xingji.

A company as big as Xingji certainly doesn't just put its eggs in one basket, but it made a fortune in mobile phones, and the company has not been established long enough and has insufficient foundation.Although it has been actively developing new businesses over the years, mobile phone profits account for 70% or more of the company's profits. If the mobile phone business collapses, even if it survives, it is impossible to have the spare energy to engage in independent research and development.

This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to knock Xing Ji down. Wen Zheng was originally happy to see it succeed, but after thinking twice, he still rejected Qualcomm's proposal.It is not the first time that China has been stuck by foreign technology. Everything is due to the lack of independent property rights.

As the only domestic seedling of the mobile phone system, it is not easy for Xingji to develop.

Even if you can't help, at least don't be the one who makes trouble, this is Wen Zheng's principle.

The author has something to say: Going through the plot is a bit stuck haha.
