Chapter 536 Samsung cooperation?

"Guess who I am."

After returning home, Zhou Jing quietly came behind the child who was lying alone at the foot of the bed, covered the child's eyes and said.

"Goose baba, huh~"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then turned around and tiptoed to climb onto Zhou Jing, then raised her head and grinned at Zhou Jing. From her childish expression, one could tell she was excited to meet Zhou Jing after a few days of separation.

"Kiss daddy if you miss him."

Zhou Jing picked up the child and put her mouth close to hers.

The little girl kissed Zhou Jing with her mouth, which was wet from having just sucked her fingers.

"Ah, Dad, look at your teeth."

Zhou Jing opened his mouth and said.

The little girl opened her mouth obediently. She was almost five months old, and her pair of lower front teeth were already very obvious, like two pieces of exquisite white porcelain.

"So cute."

Zhou Jing kissed the child's face and rocked him.

When the child was just born, Zhou Jing hoped that the child would grow faster. As he watched the child grow up day by day, he now hopes that the child would grow slower.

"Let's go eat! Come with mom."

Gu Jia changed her clothes, clapped her hands towards the child and said.

"Do you want to go with mom?"

Zhou Jing handed the little girl to Gu Jia and said.

Gu Jia carefully carried the child over, sat at the dining table and watched Zhou Jing eat and said, "How long will it take for a chip design company to design the chips needed for smartphones after it is established?"

"If there is sufficient R&D funding and a strong team, it will take six to seven years, or even ten years to design a chip that is comparable to other brands. The biggest problem is to achieve independent production."

Regardless of whether there can be a breakthrough in lithography technology, Zhou Jing will acquire a semiconductor company that produces chips this year or next year. Even if he cannot make advanced lithography machines, it is better to find channels to get more lithography machines that can achieve multiple exposures and produce seven-nanometer chips before 18 than to have nothing. A few years of development time can be gained. Since he has traveled back from the future and knows that difficulties are inevitable, he cannot just give up and wait for death.

There is no meaning in a reborn life where you just play badly and wait for death.

"Everything depends on human effort. Since domestic mobile phones now use imported chips, can we cooperate with other companies?"

Gu Jia doesn't understand the semiconductor industry, but after working in the company for a long time, he knows its difficulties. He has heard from others that making a lithography machine is more difficult than an atomic bomb. Although he doesn't know if it is that exaggerated, it is definitely not easy.

"It's possible, but this kind of money-burning doesn't necessarily lead to success. Companies generally don't do things that may not be useful even if they succeed. Most companies won't go to the trouble of doing it themselves if they have something ready-made to use."

Zhou Jing would like to cooperate with friendly companies. There is strength in numbers, and the products developed through cooperation can be better promoted.

"It's convenient to take what you want now, but if you can't take what you want one day, you'll just have to wait for death." Gu Jia wiped the saliva from the child's mouth with her clothes and said, "Seeing how delicious your daddy is eating, you want to eat it too, right?"

"Goose!"

The little girl smacked her lips, as if she was really greedy, and her mouth was drooling.

"I can't give it to you now. Let mom get you some watermelon."

The dishes were more or less spicy, so Zhou Jing refused to feed them to the child.

"The watermelon is too cold right out of the freezer."

Afraid that the children would see the watermelon and get greedy, Gu Jia took the watermelon to the kitchen.

"Taste this."

Gu's mother washed two cantaloupes, cut one open, cleaned the seeds and let the child lick them.

"Say thank you, Grandma."

Gu Jia broke off a small piece of melon and asked the child to chew on it. The child couldn't chew it now and could only taste the juice.

"You're welcome, grandma. Is it delicious?"

Mother Gu held the child's hand and said.

"what!"

The little girl sucked the melon with a very satisfied look on her face.

"He'll be five months old soon. He'll be able to eat next month." Gu Jia rubbed the child's feet and said, "Can I buy rice noodles now?"

"I asked my hometown to make some millet flour for my mother to bring over."

Zhou Jing thought about it. His grandparents in his hometown grew millet themselves, 100% without any pesticides. They used to use chemical fertilizers, but in the past two years they don’t use chemical fertilizers anymore. They get sheep manure from the people who raise sheep in the village. The old man and his wife don’t plant much land, so a few times of sheep manure from a three-wheeled vehicle and spreading it on the ground is not much worse than chemical fertilizers.

I have a rice mill in my hometown, and rice noodles made from millet are definitely healthier than the ones sold in the market.

"Okay, do we have potatoes, carrots, and pumpkins back home at this time of year?"

Gu Jia thought about what else she needed. The thing she was most worried about when feeding her child complementary food was vegetables. Vegetables bought in the city must have been sprayed with pesticides. For a child so young, even a slight residue of pesticides on the vegetables would be enough to cause unhealthy consequences for the child. The air in the city was full of car exhaust. The environment was already bad enough for a child of a few months old. No matter how unhealthy the food was, it would be strange if the child didn't go to the hospital. The children's department in the city hospital was busier than the adult department.

"No, carrots and pumpkins are available in July and August, potatoes in September, and the vegetables that can be eaten in the vegetable garden at home now include rapeseed, spinach, cabbage, zucchini, cucumbers, etc. Peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants can be eaten at the end of June."

Zhou Jing's hometown grows all these three. In the past two years, his mother has not been working, so she can go back to the countryside to help his father and mother and grow more.

"Vegetables are hard to store. It's so hot in BJ so we need to eat them quickly."

Gu Jia plans to see where to buy reliable organic vegetables in BJ.

"The carrots and pumpkins can be stored. Bring more back next month. Agricultural products from my hometown will start arriving in July."

Zhou Jing has plenty of ways to get healthy food for his children. If he has no relatives in the countryside, he can rent a piece of land and hire someone to plant and water the land. When hoeing is needed, he can hire someone to use a hoe. If it is inconvenient for him to go back, he can pay someone to deliver the food to BJ. With money, nothing is a problem.

“There’s no need to drive yourself.”

Gu Jia didn't want Zhou Jing to drive a long way back to his hometown because it was the rainy season and the road was unsafe.

After dinner, Zhou Jing teased the child and went to take a bath.

Gu Jia put the child on the bed, closed the guardrail and took a bath together. Then she came to the bathroom, patted the boy's butt and said with a smile: "Your butt is more perky than a girl's."

"Generally speaking, boys have more perky butts than girls."

Zhou Jing pinched Gu Jia and said.

"Well, can you tell if I've lost weight during this time?"

Gu Jia resumed exercise in May, doing sit-ups or skipping rope every night, and often went to the community square to exercise in the morning.

"I can't tell. Have you lost weight?"

Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's waist and pulled her up, but she didn't feel anything.

"I lost less than half a pound."

Ban Jin couldn't be sure whether she had really lost weight, but she felt relieved because there was no trend of weight gain.

"One pee weighs half a pound. Try holding it in and weighing yourself next time."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

Gu Jia pinched the boy's soft flesh on his waist and said, "Other mobile phones hold official press conferences a few days before they are launched. Are we sure we won't hold one?"

"Let's do it. If we do it, we can make a PPT."

Zhou Jing had not originally planned to hold a press conference for Ideal's first generation smartphone. He had intended to launch it in a low-key manner and use half a year to familiarize himself with and understand the market. However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Nowadays, Ideal phones are a hot topic in the digital circle and many people are looking forward to them. In this case, holding a press conference to introduce the functions of Ideal smartphones can lead to better marketing.

The Ideal smartphone is scheduled to be launched on September 2nd, and the press conference will be held around August 22nd.

“Do you want me to make a PPT?”

Gu Jia said as she wiped Zhou Jing's back.

"You can't do it, let someone from the R&D department do it."

PPT needs to be made by professionals. Gu Jia is not good at making PPT to introduce products.

Gu Jia also felt that she couldn't make a PPT for the mobile phone, "Where are you going to hold the press conference?"

"Tangdu."

The first thing Zhou Jing thought of was the Bird's Nest. The Bird's Nest is too big. It would be awkward to hold a press conference there with such a grand ceremony but not many people attending. It would be better to keep a low profile for the first press conference and invite some media and digital bloggers, and just let those who are interested be the audience. With the appeal of Ideal Technology, it would be no problem to attract one or two thousand people to the press conference.

"Eat or not?"

Gu Jia squeezed her lips and said with a smile.

Zhou Jing was indeed a little thirsty.

"It's a big treason."

Gu Jia smiled and patted the boy's head.

Zhou Jing raised his head, kissed Gu Jia and said, "I am a traitor, what about you?"

“It’s getting worse.”

Gu Jia spat, squeezed toothpaste and brushed her teeth. "Really?"

Zhou Jing put his arm around Gu Jia's slender waist and said with a smile.

"Yes, how are you going to explain our relationship to the children in the future?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Explain."

Zhou Jing was too thick-skinned to tell his children.

The two of them finished their shower slowly. Mother Gu, who had been looking after the child in the bedroom, returned to her own bedroom. The child was lying on the bed, smiling at Zhou Jing and Gu Jia.

"Are you hungry?"

Gu Jia went to bed and touched the baby's belly and said.

"Oh!"

The little girl kept sucking her lips, this is what she does when she is breastfeeding.

"Little foodie, call mom to feed you."

Gu Jia said calmly.

"Mamo, huh~"

The little girl tried hard to pronounce the words, and her voice became clearer and clearer.

"When you're hungry, you know mom is fine, right?"

Gu Jia picked up the child and fed him.

The older the child gets, the more restless she becomes. When she was breastfeeding, her two chubby feet would move around with her toes raised, looking leisurely and comfortable. Zhou Jing tickled the child's feet, and the little feet kicked in the air. Zhou Jing pinched the big toe again, and the little girl kicked but couldn't break free, so she kicked Zhou Jing's hand with her other foot.

"Is it fun?"

Gu Jia looked at the boy and said.

"Fun."

The human cub was so funny that Zhou Jing used his other hand to tickle the soles of the child's feet.

Gu Jia slapped Zhou Jing's hand away and said, "You made her bite me and it hurt."

"You can't bite mommy."

Zhou Jing stopped playing with the child and leaned on the bed to look at his mobile phone. He opened the digital channel on Weibo. The most debated issue in the entire digital circle was mobile phones. Users of different brands attacked and despised each other.

The second quarter is coming to an end, and the third quarter will usher in a large wave of new smartphones. In addition to Ideal smartphones, Apple, Xiaomi, Huazi, ZTE, Coolpad, etc. are also scheduled to be released in the fall. Almost all smartphone brands will release new models in the fall, which shows how fierce the competition is.

One thing in Ideal Mobile's favor is that iPhone has a good system but does not make mid- to low-end products. The same is true for Samsung. Foreign brands do not have an advantage in making low-end products in China. With the costs of tariffs, industrial chains, etc., it is completely untenable to make low-end smartphones. Other domestic brands, due to the shortcomings of their software systems, have a very poor chance of making low-end products under 1,000 yuan. The poor system and cheap hardware configuration will cause the phones to visibly lag.

Therefore, major manufacturers have not yet made smartphones priced under 1 yuan. Zhou Jing expects Ideal's Imagine to become this year's hit product after its release.

It will only be cost-effective for other major domestic manufacturers to produce thousand-yuan phones after the smartphone industry chain matures in the second half of next year or the year after and the software system is optimized.

The three major operators have cooperated with major domestic manufacturers in the hope of launching cheap smartphones to promote the rapid popularization of smartphones in China. So far, no major manufacturer has produced a smartphone that consumers are willing to pay for. ZTE has produced one, but it is so useless because of its low configuration and poor performance that few people buy it except for giving it away as a gift when they recharge their phone bills.

"Eat and sleep."

It was getting late, so Gu Jia did some gas-relieving exercises on the child and coaxed him to sleep.

"Sleepy?"

Zhou Jing kissed the child's cheek and said.

"Don't tease me. I feel sleepy just by looking at my eyes. Now I can't even sleep four hours a day."

Gu Jia pushed Zhou Jing away, put the child on her side, lay down on her side and gently patted the child's butt.

Zhou Jing turned off his phone and put it on the table to rest.

The next day, Wednesday, when Zhou Jing and Gu Jia woke up in the morning, the child was already awake. The little girl would not cry or make a fuss unless she was very hungry. She would either suck her fingers, hug her legs and suck her feet, or just lie still.

"Wake up!"

Gu Jia opened the child's mosquito net to change the diaper. She did not wash the child's butt in the morning, but wiped it with a wet wipe.

"The little cutie woke up on time."

Zhou Jing pinched the child's chubby little legs.

"Ho~"

The little girl babbled and lay on her back, like a happy little bird.

"Go with your father."

After changing the child's diaper, Gu Jia handed the child to Zhou Jing and got up herself.

"Call Dad."

Zhou Jing hugged the child and kissed his head.

"babebabe."

The little girl lay on Zhou Jing's pillow and cried in a baby voice, kissing Zhou Jing on his chin.

"Say mom."

"Mama, mame."

The little girl held Zhou Jing's head and touched his face with her little hands.

"Zhou Zhou is so smart. Dad loves you, eh."

Zhou Jing kissed the child, then held the child's little hand and kissed it.

"Mom loves you too, call me mom again."

Gu Jia said while standing beside the bed.

"Say mom, I love you too."

Zhou Jing said word by word.

"Ma, mama."

The little girl can now only barely shout babamama.

"How sweet mouth."

Gu Jia threw a stuffed toy to the child and left the bedroom.

"This is a monkey. Brother Monkey, you are amazing. Our Zhou Zhou is also amazing. Balabala, Gugu Lagu, little dark fairy, transform."

Zhou Jing said while holding the puppet.

The little girl was very amused. Such a morning made Zhou Jing's mind free of distractions, as if he was isolated from the world.

"You actually remembered such a complicated formula."

Gu Jia returned to the bedroom and said with a smile.

"You'll remember it after watching it many times."

Zhou Jing has watched a lot of cartoons, watching them with his children and also on his own.

"You are born to take care of children."

Gu Jia felt that apart from being able to breastfeed, she was not as good as Zhou Jing in other aspects of taking care of children. She was not as careful as Zhou Jing, not as patient as Zhou Jing, not as dexterous as Zhou Jing, not as good at cooking as Zhou Jing, and not as good at playing with children as Zhou Jing. A boy like Zhou Jing was simply an ideal husband.

"Then I'll leave the company to you." Zhou Jing looked at the child and said, "Dad stays at home with you every day, okay?"

"If you're hungry, just crawl over here."

After combing her hair, Gu Jia sat on the edge of the bed and clapped her hands and said.

"Mom gave you relief food."

Zhou Jing let go of the child.

The little girl crawled towards Gu Jia like a toad, and because she couldn't crawl fast enough, she hummed in anxiety.

"Our Zhou Zhou is really amazing."

Gu Jia was worried that the child would cry, so she picked him up and fed him.

Zhou Jing received a message on her phone, it was from Bai’s best friend.

[Samsung contacted us and wants to transfer some traditional mobile phone hardware. The price is lower than the current supply chain. Would you consider it?]
