Chapter 509: First Generation Smartphone Configuration

The weekend was over, and Zhou Jing went to the company first on Monday morning. He sent the data reports processed over the weekend to various departments and started to handle new work.

Operations Director Qin Zhengyu sent a pre-promotion report for King's Call. Zhou Jing took a quick look at the report and found that there was nothing wrong with the report itself. What Zhou Jing was worried about was that the pre-promotion would attract some people to smear it.

For example, people attack the game for tampering with historical figures and for the costumes being too revealing. However, these problems will have to be faced sooner or later. There will definitely be a large number of people who maliciously smear the game when it comes out. The inability of domestic games to develop is not unrelated to this environment. With the current strength of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., it will be very troublesome for the game to face negative comments from the whole society when it comes out.

"Let's warm up first, and keep an eye out for big companies investing."

After much thought, Zhou Jing felt that the safest option was to cooperate with large companies, so that it would be easier to deal with negative comments from the society.

"Okay, at the moment it looks like King's Call will be available for public testing in August, and Daily Cool Run can also be launched earlier."

Qin Zhengyu nodded and said.

"If the development goes well, let's start planning the King's Summon mobile game!"

Zhou Jing regretted developing the King's Summoning PC game. If he had known earlier, he should have developed the mobile version directly. It is too late to regret now, so he can only develop the PC game first.

"Row."

"."

Even if the King's Summon game is successfully developed, a lot of resources will still be needed for subsequent maintenance and updates. Operating both the PC and mobile games at the same time will require even more resources, so it's better to set up a game company. It just so happens that Zhou Jing wants to make console games based on domestic culture, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Journey to the West". Among them, Zhou Jing has a stronger feeling for Journey to the West, so he can plan a console game of "The Return of the Great Sage".

China has a deep enough cultural foundation, but it is speechless that it cannot produce decent games. Since Zhou Jing has chosen to make games, he cannot just pursue mobile games and online games that make a lot of money every day, he must also make high-quality stand-alone games.

After thinking about it, Zhou Jing decided to register a game company in Tangdu because the cost of BJ was too high.

"What do you want, boss?"

After Gu Jia sent Wu Suqin to the train station, she came to the company office and said.

"Leave the online store and Ideal official website to Ideal, and let the operations department discuss the use of the company's Bluetooth technology patents."

Zhou Jing leaned back in his chair and looked at Gu Jia and smiled.

"Okay, has the Tangdu operations team been formed?"

Gu Jia turned on the computer and quickly got into work mode.

"It's set up. How are the procedures for the investment company going in our office building?"

As Zhou Jing spoke, he searched the Internet for the domestic semiconductor situation. He would not have known until he checked. Once he checked, he found it too hopeless. Semiconductors are not something that one or two companies can make. China is lagging behind in all aspects. When making smartphones, Zhou Jing set his sights on microelectronics manufacturing and chip design. Given the company's current conditions, he could only choose what he needed most.

"The formalities should be completed this week."

Gu Jia checked the progress of the investment company and said.

Gu Jia handed Zhou Jing the sales report of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.'s Bluetooth speakers, mobile phones, etc. sent by the Operations Department and said, "According to the sales data on Saturday and Sunday, the sales volume on weekends is significantly higher than that on weekdays."

“People generally like to shop on the weekends.”

Zhou Jing opened the report and focused on the mobile phone sales data. Over the past two days, Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.'s official website, various e-commerce platforms, and wholesale, Ideal mobile phones sold a total of nearly 25,000 units, with sales of more than 10 million yuan. Bluetooth speakers and power banks sold more than 40,000 and 8,000 units respectively. Such performance is very gratifying.

Ideal mobile phones and Ideal Bluetooth speakers have become popular products recently, especially the mobile phones, which suddenly emerged from major brands. I guess many competitors are still confused. How could a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appear at the twilight of traditional mobile phones? This is the rhythm of rebellion.

Sales of traditional mobile phones of other brands are plummeting, only Ideal Mobile is bucking the trend. Of course, this is related to the basic data. Ideal Mobile started to grow from zero, while other brands have been going down from monthly sales of hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Zhou Jing previously estimated that the first Ideal mobile phone could sell one million units this year, but now it seems that was too conservative. It should be no problem to sell three million units this year. Based on three million units, sales can reach more than 1.3 billion yuan, and profits can be almost 500 million yuan. It seems that it is not impossible to make back the initial investment of the electronics factory this year.

It also does not include a Bluetooth speaker or a power bank.

Ideal Bluetooth speakers have shipped more than 600,000 units, both retail and wholesale, and the growth rate is still increasing rapidly. Last week, Bai Xiyao signed OEM contracts with several electronics factories in Tangdu. Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. has revitalized all the electronics factories in Tangdu on its own. Zhou Jing expects to sell 10 million Bluetooth speakers this year, with a profit of three or four small goals.

"According to conservative estimates, the electronics factory will have no problem making 800 million this year."

Zhou Jing had a calm mind like an old dog, but he couldn't help but get excited.

“If smartphones are similar, they can challenge 1 billion.”

Gu Jia is the financial director and has made a budget for the electronics factory. It is not difficult to achieve a profit of 1 billion yuan this year.

“After the investment company is established, it will recruit a financial officer who is proficient in cross-border investment.”

Zhou Jing plans to lay out the next important sector next year and acquire a chip company. Chips are an inevitable part of future technology, and everything Zhou Jing wants to do is inseparable from chips.

After finishing his work, Zhou Jing checked the stock market and his own stocks. Zhou Jing felt that he was too conservative in stock trading. In order to prevent being targeted by the sickle, he did not focus on the bull stocks. As the stock trading snowball rolled bigger, Zhou Jing became more cautious and put his eggs in many baskets.

After adjusting the stocks, Zhou Jing saw that someone had posted an NBA post to support their favorite star. Remembering that this year's playoffs were about to begin, Zhou Jing searched for the teams in this year's playoffs and basically knew the development trend of the playoffs.

As a sports enthusiast, Zhou Jing paid most attention to basketball and football in his previous life. For the reborn Zhou Jing, buying football tickets is the most reliable thing.

Bai Xiyao sent a message to Zhou Jing, saying that someone wanted to invest in Ideal Technology.

Zhou Jing asked Bai Xiyao to send the other party's information. The company accepted investment not only to absorb funds, but also to gain support. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Even if a company can raise all the funds by itself, if the company is bent on eating alone, it will be difficult to survive in the fiercely competitive market unless it masters the core technology.

The company is not short of funds now, and Zhou Jing will only accept investments from large companies. Zhou Jing will definitely not consider investors who can only provide some funds and do not have much influence.

Bai Xiyao: [Recently, there are many people who are willing to invest. I have filtered out those who don’t have the strength. What do you think of this company?]

[I haven’t heard of it, so I won’t consider it for now]

The company's funds are very stable, and Zhou Jing subjectively does not want to consider investing.

Bai Xiyao: [Okay, then I'll pass it up. Mobile phone sales have increased too much, and we've signed fewer orders worth one million. To make it easier for the south to export mobile phones and Bluetooth speakers, I plan to find a factory in a southern coastal city to do the OEM work.]

Zhou Jing: [Yes]

Zhou Jing is not satisfied with the domestic market. The domestic level of electronic consumption is relatively high in the world, and traditional mobile phones still have a large market abroad. With the cost control of Ideal mobile phones and Bluetooth speakers, it is very conducive to export. It would be great if the international market could be opened this year.

“Does high export costs have a big impact on profits?”

Gu Jia glanced at Zhou Jing's computer screen and said.

"The export costs are simply passed on to foreign users, and the company ships at the same wholesale price."

Zhou Jing will not lower prices for the sake of foreign markets, as that would be tantamount to stabbing domestic users in the back.

Gu Jia poured a glass of water and said, "Domestic products and clothing occupy a large market overseas. What about electronic products?"

"It is easier to export low-end and mid-end electronic products, but it is difficult to export high-end products."

"."

Gu Jia had just arrived at the company and went home when it was almost time to feed her child.

Zhou Jing went to the R&D department. The BJ headquarters of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. currently has two major R&D projects, smart phones and smart speakers. Smart speakers are much simpler than mobile phones.

In order to better use smartphones and smart speakers, Zhou Jing plans to set up a new project, routers. The wireless network signal strength of routers currently on the market is not very good. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. has accumulated some key technologies for wireless networks in the process of researching smartphones and Bluetooth speakers, which will help improve router performance.

"It is now equipped with the latest version of the mobile phone software system."

Li Jianwei, director of the R&D department, placed a prototype assembled from all the hardware of a smartphone in front of Zhou Jing. From the components to the motherboard and the shell, the phone was customized according to the basic design requirements of the ideal first-generation smartphone. The whole phone looked like a real phone after being rubbed by hand. "Everyone is good at rubbing the phone by hand."

The phone was on, and Zhou Jing slid to unlock it. The screen pattern was the built-in picture of blue sky and white clouds that is common in ideal phones. The desktop was the basic software of the phone, such as calendar, settings, camera, album, music, etc.

The basic data of the phone are 4.3-inch 342PPI touch screen, phone height 126mm, width 62mm, thickness 9.3mm, weight 147g, 1280X720 pixel resolution, rear 2000 million pixels, front 1 million pixels, 2mAh battery, running memory 8/16G, storage 2/3G, support /G network.

This kind of configuration reached the level of mainstream new models in 12, of course, in mid- and low-end machines.

Zhou Jing slid the screen a few times and clicked on the software.

For users, the first impression of whether a mobile phone is easy to use is the feeling of getting started. This feeling tests the mobile phone operating system. If the mobile phone system is smooth, it will feel very comfortable. Currently, the systems of domestic mobile phones are all about the same.

Zhou Jing has the latest models of smartphones from all brands, equipped with processors of the same generation. In terms of fluency, no domestic smartphone is better than the Ideal phone. Zhou Jing personally participated in the modification of the software system of the Ideal phone, and he is very confident about this.

After experiencing the mobile phone system, Zhou Jing turned on the phone camera and took two photos.

"According to our original concept, the first generation of smartphones was biased towards gaming performance. So with the same processor, our heat dissipation and game loading are better. In addition, with the advantages of system design, the fluency is better than other machines of the same level. The only drawback is that the image quality is slightly worse."

Li Jianwei took another mobile phone and rubbed it while introducing it.

"No problem. Imaging technology will gradually break through. We are not going to pursue excellent imaging levels in the first five or six generations. If we have our own chip company, how long will it take to develop a chip?"

After downloading Happy Elimination on his mobile phone, Zhou Jing entered the game and tried two levels.

"If there is enough funding, it will definitely be fine in ten years. The bigger problem is production."

Li Jianwei could see his boss's ambition and knew that his boss was willing to invest in research and development. Chip design could be realized as long as the investment was made. The lithography machine could not be produced by a single company. If a big country wanted to make lithography machines independently, it would need to integrate a series of industrial chain manufacturing industries to have hope.

Zhou Jing nodded. No matter how difficult it was, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Ideal's first generation of smartphones entered the overall testing phase. Zhou Jing asked Li Jianwei to send the phone information to Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. and ask the electronics factory to produce a batch first.

During the lunch break, Zhou Jing went home to eat. The first thing he did when he got home was to see the child. Zhou Zhou was not asleep. When she saw Zhou Jing coming back, the little girl lay on the bed and laughed, kicking her legs on the bed.

"Give daddy a kiss, little cutie."

Zhou Jing gently picked up the child horizontally and pouted in front of the child.

"Tell dad that Zhou Zhou also wants to go to work, and ask dad to take Zhou Zhou to the company."

Gu Jia said while holding her daughter's feet.

"Zhou Zhou doesn't have to go to work. Just eat well and sleep well at home. Dad will support you."

Zhou Jing kissed the child on the head.

"Zhou Zhou said he wanted to be self-reliant."

Gu Jia squeezed the child's lips open to look at his gums, which were still pink and tender.

Zhou Jing held the child and rocked him gently, then looked at Gu Jia and asked, "Will Zhou Zhou cry if someone else coaxes him?"

"Don't cry. I just woke up and I'm hungry. I think anyone can comfort me."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Everyone in the family is a familiar face." Zhou Jing looked at the child and said, "Is Zhou Zhou right?"

"Children don't recognize people that well before they are one year old, and when they do, other people are hard to appease."

Mother Gu prepared the meal and asked Zhou Jing and Gu Jia to eat first.

"What should I do then? Does Zhou Zhou want her mother to watch over her all the time?"

Gu Jia held the child's hand and kissed it.

"Go to bed, Dad is going to eat."

Zhou Jing put the child in the bassinet and pushed him to the dining table to eat.

"Mom, let's eat together. You don't need to coax Zhou Zhou. Are you tired of taking care of the child?"

Gu Jia sat at the dining table, eating and watching the children.

"Zhou Zhou is so well behaved that it's not tiring at all."

Mother Gu put some vegetables in the bowl, moved the stool next to the bassinet, and watched the child while eating.

"The three of us are watching Zhou Zhou eat. Does Zhou Zhou feel greedy?"

Gu Jia pretended to feed the child, and when the child opened his mouth, she took the food back and ate it herself.

"Grow up quickly so you can eat with adults."

Zhou Jing touched the baby's belly, which was bulging not long after feeding.

In order to coax the child, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia ate quickly. After Zhou Jing was finished, he took the child to the bedroom to coax him to sleep. He lay on the bed and put the child on his stomach.

"Ah oh!"

The little girl stuck out her tongue at Zhou Jing.

"If you have anything happy, tell me and make dad happy too."

Zhou Jing gently pinched the child's face and said.

Gu Jia came to the bedroom and sat next to Zhou Jing and said, "You are so young and you are obsessed with love, right?"

"Zhou Zhou is not a fangirl, mom is the fangirl."

"Close your eyes and go to sleep."

Gu Jia held the child in her arms.

Zhou Jing picked up the nursery rhyme book on the bed and sang a lullaby to hypnotize the child. After a while, the child closed her eyes and lay motionless. Zhou Jing pricked the little girl's fingers, and the little girl clenched her fingers very tightly.

"Put her down and she'll open her eyes."

The child still had her eyes closed. Gu Jia gently put her down on the bed. As soon as she was placed on the bed, she opened her eyes brightly.

"Dad thought you were asleep, why are you still awake? Are you playing hide and seek with Dad?"

Zhou Jing's heart was melted by his daughter's cuteness.

"Oh!"

The child seemed to be awake and was dancing around in front of the adults.
