Chapter 563 Successfully Entering the Smartphone Market
The next day, Friday, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia left home like thieves to go to the company. The child was already seven months old and knew to keep an eye on adults. When she saw Zhou Jing and Gu Jia leave home, the little girl would cry.

Zhou Zhou didn't cry much in the first few months, but started crying more from five or six months on. She would cry when Zhou Jing and Gu Jia were not around during the lunch break. She needed Zhou Jing and Gu Jia to coax her before going to bed. She would cry several times a day if Zhou Jing and Gu Jia didn't come home. She would also cry sometimes when one of them was at home and the other was not. In short, she had reached the stage where she was difficult to coax.

"In two or three months, the child will be gone and will probably stop us from going out."

In the car, Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Take her to work with you, so she can experience the life of a cow and a horse in advance."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

“I wonder if my son will be so clingy to adults.”

Gu Jia sighed softly, feeling that time passed very quickly. She planned to have a second child when her eldest child turned two years old, hoping that the second child would be a son.

"After the second child is born, we can relax a little bit because the eldest one will take care of us."

Zhou Jing thought that if he had one more child, both children in the family would be less bored, and the parents could be more free with the older child taking care of the younger one.

"Too."

Gu Jia hesitated whether to have a second child in advance. If she wanted, she could prepare for pregnancy when the eldest child was one year old.

When he arrived at the company office, Zhou Jing first dealt with the affairs of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. After four days on a business trip, he had accumulated a lot of things. None of the information was very important, so Gu Jia checked it and Zhou Jing just needed to sign it.

"I'll send the payroll to the finance department if there's no problem with it."

Gu Jia took out the August salary slip and said.

"Send it!"

With Gu Jia as the financial director, Zhou Jing doesn't have to worry about financial matters. Gu Jia just needs to sign and stamp the document. Zhou Jing only needs to look at the financial report. The August financial report is out, and Bai Guimi also sent over the financial report of Ideal Technology.

In August, the revenue of Chuangzhi Technology declined because after completing the information system projects of various units in Qingxian New City and three hospitals in Yulin City, Chuangzhi Technology no longer took on external projects and only worked on projects under the company and Ideal Technology. The profits from the company's projects did not appear as quickly.

In August, the BJ headquarters of Chuangzhi Technology had a revenue of just over 200 million yuan and a net profit of more than 50 million yuan. The Tangdu branch had a revenue of more than 80 million yuan and a net profit of more than 20 million yuan. The reduction in profits is only temporary and will not affect the monthly and quarterly bonuses of employees. The company will no longer issue bonuses based on the proportion of net profit. Zhou Jing will get as much as he contributes.

Ideal Technology sold nearly 30 million traditional mobile phones in August. Together with other products, its revenue was more than 17 billion yuan and its net profit was nearly 8 billion yuan. The sales of smartphones are very good, and Ideal Technology's revenue will be even higher in September.

“What we earned in August was not enough to cover our expenses.”

Gu Jia looked at the financial report and said that last month the acquisition of Taiwei Semiconductor cost more than 9 billion in cash, paid in one lump sum.

"You can earn more by spending. Semiconductors are very profitable. iPhone sells hundreds of millions of mobile phones a year. If you buy chips from other companies, the cost of purchasing chips alone is 20 to 30 billion. The price of mobile phone chips is getting more expensive every year. If the chips are stuck all the time, in a few years the price of a mobile phone chip may be more expensive than all other accessories combined."

Zhou Jing put the financial report on the table and checked the project department's information.

"Core technology is so important. How will we arrange the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits, mooncakes and fruits?"

There are ten days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and Gu Jia prepares benefits in advance.

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said, "Give out red envelopes, 200 yuan each."

Mooncakes are becoming less and less tasty, so giving them cash allows them to buy whatever they want.

“You are the boss who understands your employees best.”

Gu Jia nodded. Giving out red envelopes was simple and could make employees happier. She herself had been an employee before, and she hated it most when the school gave out rice dumplings and moon cakes during the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival every year. The moon cakes she bought were not tasty and it was a waste to throw them away, so it was better to give out money.

"How do we celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Zhou Jing rubbed Teacher Gu's butt, hooked her waist and said.

Gu Jia leaned against the boy and said, "Do you want to call your cousin home?"

"See if there are any activities in her class."

"There are activities in the evening, so I'll pick you up in the afternoon and have dinner together."

Gu Jia picked up the water cup, took a sip and said.

Zhou Jing nodded and said, "How do we send the benefits back to your parents?"

"No, just go back and buy some things during the National Day holiday."

"."

After finishing some work in the office, Zhou Jing went to the R&D department. The main task of the BJ headquarters of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is now the development of operating systems, including mobile phone systems, tablet systems, PC systems, etc. The research and development of mobile phone systems has been transferred to Ideal Technology and its affiliated research institutes.

For all the company's product research and development, the two core parts are the system and the chip. The independent system is prepared for the future. Before the independent system is developed, mobile phones and tablets can only use modified systems based on Android. Due to Android's architecture and software adaptation mode, even if it is optimized to the extreme, it will not be as smooth as the iPhone.

Chips are more important than systems. Whether a mobile phone can reach the high-end depends mainly on the chips. It will be difficult to reach the high-end with Qualcomm chips. In 19, the market share of iPhone and Huawei flagship phones equipped with Kirin was higher than all other brands combined. Even though Huawei was sanctioned for a few years, its flagship phones with Qualcomm chips are still inferior to Huawei after its resurrection. This shows the importance of independent chips.

“This is the software system design for the Light Enjoy series.”

Li Jianwei, director of the R&D department, handed the prepared plan to Zhou Jing.

"The smartphone project can be declared a success in advance. The next step is to make it bigger and stronger. This year, we will beat Xiaomi, Coolpad, ZTE and other brands, and next year we will work hard to beat Huawei. The current advantage of Ideal Mobile is the system. Before the self-developed chips and systems are developed, we must maintain the existing system advantages."

Zhou Jing said to everyone in the R&D department.

"make persistent efforts."

"make persistent efforts."

"Pap-pap-pap-pap."

Li Jianwei took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit. Everyone was very excited. The Ideal smartphone was born from the R&D department of Chuangzhi Technology. After more than a year of intensive research and development, the first generation was a great success. What could be more exciting than such a result?

"The image quality of the Light Enjoy series can be reduced a bit. This phone is not going to be mid-to-high-end. The initial price will remain around 2,000 yuan. The system is designed to enhance game operation and heat dissipation."

Zhou Jing looked at the system design of the Qingxiang series software and said.

"Okay, let's change it."

Li Jianwei nodded and said that he did not have any negative emotions at all when his design was rejected.

After reading the light-enjoy design, Zhou Jing went to the project department. Ideal's self-developed Tiantu operating system was developed by the project director Wang Tao himself. Zhou Jing participated in the design of the underlying core and confirmed that the architecture development was going smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, it can be installed on mobile phones in 15. However, it is very complicated to put the self-developed system into use. It requires the cooperation of many software developers. If Ideal Technology does not have strong enough strength by then, it will not work at all.

Zhou Jing is not in a hurry to replace the Android system with an independent system. This kind of thing requires an opportunity. The best opportunity is the trade war. After the trade war begins, it will be supported and promoted by the country. There is also a prerequisite, which is independent chips. Having an independent system without independent chips will still not work. It will be embarrassing to use the Tiantu system if foreign countries cut off the supply of chips.

"After the National Day holiday, Brother Wang will arrange a time to take everyone in the R&D department and the Tiantu system design team to Tangdu Ideal Technology and Shengtang Chip Design Institute for exchanges, and then go to Suzhou and Yangzhou, and visit Taiwei Semiconductor. It will take 20 days."

Zhou Jing looked at the development progress of the Tiantu system and said.

The development of the operating system went smoothly. There was no rush for this project. We took the opportunity to let the team communicate with Ideal Technology and Taiwei Semiconductor and give them a holiday. The key to the company's development is chips and lithography machines. The communication and learning between the Chuangzhi Technology team and Ideal Technology and Taiwei Semiconductor will help the research and development work.

"You can bring your family members, and the travel expenses and accommodation company will be reimbursed together."

Zhou Jing added.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

All the members of the Tiantu team were happy after hearing this. This was equivalent to giving them half a month's vacation, seven days of National Day off, plus twenty days of paid "business trip", a total of twenty-seven days. The boss was so humane, and there would probably be no other boss like him in the whole country.

"Everyone, take this opportunity to relax. Let Qin Zhengyu go with you. Tell the rest of the company that they will send everyone to Tangdu and Suzhou companies in batches to communicate."

The launch of the smartphone and the development of the operating system went more smoothly than Zhou Jing had imagined. Zhou Jing has always emphasized the need to unleash the innovative capabilities of employees in the company. After more than a year of high-intensity work, it is time to give them some relaxation.

"it is good."

After making the arrangements, Zhou Jing returned to the office. "Brother Wang, should we take a plane or a train?"

"Given Mr. Zhou's generosity, the plane ticket should also be reimbursed."

"Let's take the train. It will cost a lot of money to have so many people stay there for 20 days. Mr. Zhou is very considerate. Those who bring their families can make sure to buy tickets together in advance."

Wang Tao decided to take the train. There were more than 40 people in the R&D department and Tiantu team, and the accommodation alone for 20 days would cost more than 100,000 yuan.

"If you take the train, buy a morning ticket. It's nice to see the scenery in various places during the day."

After Wang Tao made the decision, no one else had any objection. What was there for them to complain about when their superior, who earned more than five million yuan a year, accompanied them on the train? Moreover, the boss was really nice. In the workplace, let alone twenty days of pay with reimbursement of travel expenses and accommodation, even two more days of vacation was a luxury.

"My wife asked for leave to give birth, but there are no specific regulations for paternity leave. Most companies give seven days, some give fifteen days, and some give thirty days. How can we give it to them?"

Gu Jia said to Zhou Jing who returned to the office.

"Thirty days, then ask the finance department to give me a red envelope of 1,000 yuan."

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and realized that if the parents at home are older, it would be a problem to take care of a woman during the confinement period, not to mention taking care of the children, so at least let the man take care of his wife during the confinement period.

"Then let's do it this way from now on!"

Gu Jia stamped the leave application and notified the Human Resources Department to come and pick it up. The number of days for leave was not filled in yet. Gu Jia asked the Human Resources Department to use thirty days as the standard in the future.

The Human Resources Department filled out the leave application and went to the Finance Office to pack a red envelope of one thousand yuan to give to the person who asked for leave.

"I'll give you a red envelope for giving birth to a child. How many days of leave will I give you?"

In the office of Project Group 2, everyone was curious when looking at their colleagues' red envelopes and leave notes.

"For thirty days, the red envelope should be one thousand."

"You're so awesome! When I was at my previous company, my wife took 15 days off to give birth, but I didn't give her a single cent in bonus."

"Your previous company at least gave me 15 days off. When I gave birth, my husband's company only gave me one week off. My husband took another week off, and then their salary was deducted for the week after that."

"Why work for a company like that? Just quit."

"The company is still very humane now. My wife is going to give birth next April."

Zhou Jing's approach touched the employees. The attitude towards employees' fertility best reflects the company's humanity. Chuangzhi Technology provides one month of maternity leave and gives out a red envelope of one thousand yuan, which can greatly enhance employees' sense of happiness at work.

The King's Summoning PC game has already started internal testing, and Zhou Jing logged into the game to see what was going on.

Double-click the King's Summoning icon and the login page will pop up, with low and exciting background music.

The login page plays game character posters in a loop. The posters are representative heroes of each profession in version 1.0, including crossbow archer Yu Ji, ice mage Wang Zhaojun, tank Great Wall defender Dunshan, holy sword fighter Liu Bang, shadow assassin Sima Yi, and forest guardian A Yao.

The characters are Chinese comics 3D models. Yu Ji and Wang Zhaojun have super fierce long legs, and their clothes seem to be unable to hold up. Shield Mountain is different from the Shield Mountain in King of Glory. The Shield Mountain Zhou Jing summoned by the King of Glory combines the Shield Mountain in King of Glory and the Stone Man in League of Legends. He retains the tower repair skill and cancels the damage skill. Yao's ultimate move no longer rides on people, but turns into a beam of light and shadow that wraps around the teammates who choose to protect.

Starlight Game Technology and Penguin have launched comprehensive cooperation. The registration and login method for King of Glory is QQ number. After entering the game, a novice tutorial pops up. The demonstration hero is the violent shooter Luban No. 7, which helps players understand the basic operations of the game.

Zhou Jing quickly went through the novice tutorial and checked the heroes. Currently there are five shooters, including Yu Ji, Lu Ban No. 7, Hou Yi, and Sun Shangxiang; there are mages, including Wang Zhaojun, Su Daji, Zhang Liang, etc. There are a total of 42 heroes in six professions.

After getting familiar with the game's main page, Zhou Jing started a game and felt it was good. The oriental-style "LOL" is more suitable for oriental people. The pace of Summoning of the King is slightly faster than LOL. There is no front tower on the high ground, and a normal game takes about fifteen minutes.

At noon, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went home for lunch. The first thing Zhou Jing did when he got home was to see the child. The child was on the bed in the bedroom. Zhou Jing quietly walked into the bedroom, squatted under the bed, and poked the little cotton-padded jacket who was leaning against the guardrail and playing with toys through the guardrail.

"Ha! Dad~"

The little girl looked back and immediately could not sit still. She dropped her toy and turned around to grab the protective net.

"Oh, cutie."

Zhou Jing picked up the little girl and kissed her.

"Oh~"

"Little cutie."

"Oh~"

"Little cutie."

The little girl Zhou Jingxue shouted repeatedly.

"hehaha~Dad~"

The little girl smiled happily and shook herself in Zhou Jing's arms.

"porridge."

Gu Jia came out of the bathroom and looked at the child and shouted.

"o~"

"Do you miss your mother?"

"Uh~"

The little girl wanted to breastfeed and reached out to Gu Jia.

"You want mommy to hug you, right? Say mommy, hug me."

Gu Jia kissed the child's hand and said.

"Mom, bo~"

When the little girl said "bo", her mouth opened roundly.

"Give me a kiss, Daddy."

Zhou Jing said while holding the child who was anxiously going to Gu Jia's arms for breastfeeding.

The little girl turned her head and slapped Zhou Jing on the face.

"Dear mother."

Gu Jia put her face in front of the child and said.

"Humph~"

The little girl was so anxious that she was about to speak, but she still kissed Gu Jia on the face.

"So nice."

Gu Jia took the child calmly and went to the bedroom to feed him.

Zhou Jing turned on the TV and received a call from his best friend Bai on his mobile phone. Zhou Jing turned down the TV volume and answered the call.

"China Mobile and China Unicom want to cooperate with us to produce a contract phone. We will redesign a new model and still use the Vision 1."

Bai Xiyao got straight to the point.

"Just imagine 1."
