I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 110 Chapter 112-113: Ding Peng was shocked, Boss Gao knew too much! (Second and third updates)
Hillhouse Technology is now in a period of rapid development. Compared with the initial development stage of mate1, it has increased by 100 people to a R&D team of nearly 500 people.

Of the team of more than 500 people, less than half are new.

They have heard more or less about the myth of Gao Huaijun.

But seeing is believing, and without seeing the new project in progress, they still have doubts in their minds.

When they saw the matepad drawings released by Gao Huaijun, their doubts disappeared and were replaced by shock and admiration.

This group of people are all straight men in science and engineering, and they are straight men in science and engineering in the era of scarcity of college students in 06. What they always believe is the fact before them.

They are a group of people who are proud of their talents and will only surrender to the truly strong.

The drawings and corresponding brief parameters on the big screen are facts, and they have to accept that Gao Huaijun's crushing dimensionality reduction attack on them in terms of product strategy and layout!
Regardless of whether this product can create a hot sales atmosphere after it is launched.

That kind of gap in inspiration makes this group of people truly desperate!
And this transformation process only takes less than 10 minutes.

"Okay, let's start dividing the work and start working according to the content on the drawing!"

"Although the general picture and some partial detailed pictures have been released, this thing called matepad is still far from being launched!"

"Matepad is composed of two major parts: hardware and software. According to the brief drawing, the hardware of this thing mainly consists of a motherboard, a touch screen, a display, a battery, a camera, a speaker, a microphone, a vibration motor, an antenna, buttons, a casing, etc. As for the software, we currently use Microsoft’s mobile operating system. The motherboard mainly contains CPU, DDR, eMMC, PMU, WBGF module, 2G module, audio decoder, etc. These things need to be implemented one by one. Cooperation issues require your help. There are about 20 R&D teams to lead the R&D team to implement..."

Ding Peng is indeed a veteran in research and development. He just looked at the drawings for about two hours and then roughly and briefly implemented the relevant work one by one.

He looked around everyone, made the final decision, and then let everyone get into the formal work.

Gao Huaijun developed a new product so quickly because of his considerations and considerations.

In fact, now that the mobile phone business has just stabilized, it is actually a very risky thing to directly launch another large-scale project.

The company now estimates that this year's sales will be 4.5 million, but in fact, so far, the 500 people involved in research and development have required nearly 5000 million in R&D expenses, accounting for more than 10% of sales.

This money needs to be spent every month, plus the big head of marketing and other functional departments, and the most critical thing is Hillhouse Chip, a newly established gold-absorbing beast. No one is worth tens of millions, and it is impossible to stop it. !

Therefore, it seems that the proportion of R&D is only 10% now, but in fact it may exceed 20% soon. This is actually a very dangerous indicator coefficient.

Coupled with Hillhouse Technology, now is not a good time to integrate Series B. If you integrate Series B too quickly, you will be wasting Hillhouse’s precious original shares!

Therefore, it is now necessary to develop a new track product. Only in this way can Hillhouse Technology's rather tight capital chain be relieved!

Time is like a fleeting moment.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed quietly.

In more than a month, Gao Huaijun and Min Weiguo spent time in the Hillhouse R&D center, and showed the new employees from all over the world the horror of his product control.

Although there are drawings, it is quite difficult to actually turn the drawings into physical objects.

"There is a problem with this screen being inlaid like this. This screen is so big, you need to have a two-layer inlay structure so that it is not easy to demould after a period of use. Don't think about saving costs, we have to focus on quality control. core standards.”

"This tablet and laptop have completely different usage scenarios. Laptops are placed on the table in a regular manner, and there is basically no littering. You are guilty of empiricism. This matepad product, 伱I can’t even imagine the extent to which customers will use it indiscriminately, so when you design, you must consider other situational models.”

Gao Huaijun held the shell sent by the supplier in his hand, drew two lines with the pencil in his hand, and explained it to Min Weiguo who was standing aside.

It has now taken more than a month for the product matepad 1 to cross the CDCP (concept decision review stage) to the TR2 stage (concept implementation stage). The progress can be described as rapid!

Nowadays, the implementation of every component is very critical. Although we have the research and development experience of mate1, matepad is a large-scale electronic technology equipment after all. Many things have not been verified, so the authenticity of each component must be ensured.

Time is extremely precious to the entire matepad project and cannot be wasted.

"Boss Gao, you know too much... He can't be fooled by all the details. The pressure is really great!" Ding Peng, who was standing aside, was full of surprise. He saw Gao Huaijun casually glance at Ling. After taking partial samples of the parts, we started chatting.

This proficiency and knowledge of the product gave him the illusion that he had made this product before, and now he was just recovering.

You must know that this is a product that has never appeared on the market. It is a large-scale resistive screen device. Even DJI (Japan Display) is the first to encounter the demand for such a large-area resistive screen. It is still working with The display team conducts joint training.

"Ding Peng, look at it, is it much better if you do it this way?" Gao Huaijun showed the finely tuned detailed drawing to Ding Peng, "This will be the way it is handled from now on."

"Okay! Okay! Mr. Gao, your understanding of the product is so profound. I really admire you." Ding Peng looked at Gao Huaijun excitedly and said loudly.

"Stop flattering me here and work hard! The construction period is very tight recently. It will take more than three months to develop from TR3 to TR2. It is not an easy task." Gao Huaijun said calmly.

Gao Huaijun is talking about the IPD R&D process system he brought from later generations.

Generally speaking, product development needs to go through at least 4-3 iterations of trial production from CDCP (concept decision review stage) to TR4A (mass production access review node).

And before reaching TR6 (mass production approval review), there will be TR5 (small batch mass production approval evaluation node), at this stage, the yield rate climbing target of each component supplier and the complete machine assembly plant and the resource input The degree of completion will be an important review point for TR5 approval, and it also determines whether the mobile phone can be shipped quickly to meet market demand once it is released.

In general, from CDCP to the final TR6, an electronic technology product generally takes about 12 months according to the IPD development process.

Now, due to Gao Huaijun's intervention, the entire development process often starts with TR2, and the overall cycle is compressed to 6 months, but this is also a very compact task.

"Mr. Gao, there is something I want to tell you." At this time, Gao Huaijun's phone rang. It was Zhang Yunshen.

"What's wrong?" Gao Huaijun walked slowly to his office.

. . . . . .

【Chapter 113】The end of 2006 is approaching.

At this time, it is not a very important node for electronic technology companies.

After all, most people are preparing for the New Year and do not have much spare money to invest in purchasing electronic technology products.

However, just when people in the electronic technology industry are fishing, waiting for year-end bonuses.

At this time, Lianxiang Mobile released a message that due to poor sales, the price of one of their most high-end mobile phone products, the MU231, would be reduced by 500 yuan to a mid-range mobile phone range of 2300 yuan.

At the same time, all mid-range mobile phones have been reduced in price by 300 yuan each, forming a matrix effect, with the purpose of seizing the market!

Their action means that the mobile phone war in 07 has officially started!
As soon as this news came out, all mobile phone manufacturers were excited.

Lianxiang is not some pheasant developer with no sales, no brand, and no market effect. They are one of the largest domestic mobile phone manufacturers in China, and they have a strong benchmarking significance!
The herd effect he brings will continue to impact the mid-range market!
Don’t look at the price reduction of only 300-500 yuan. This is an overall official reduction. It will encourage manufacturers with weak product capabilities to make official reductions together!

This snowball effect will eventually lead to even large manufacturers being coerced into joining the war!
Just as these mobile phone manufacturers expected.

Due to the impact of the fierce squeezing action of Lianxiang Group, the electronic technology market, which was already in the off-season, became even more indifferent.

Buying up and not buying down is not only true in the real estate industry, but also in the electronic technology industry.

Human nature is like this.

As expected, some second- and third-rate mobile phone manufacturers, such as Haier, Hisense, Tianyu, Amoi and other companies, have started to lower the prices of mid- and low-end mobile phones.

The era of battle royale with third- and fourth-rate products has arrived ahead of schedule!

There are close to more than 400 third- and fourth-rate mobile phone manufacturers in China. So many manufacturers will die one after another. By 2023, before Gao Huaijun is reborn, there will only be 5 major manufacturers left. Such a terrifying elimination rate , is something that merchants who wanted to enter the mobile phone industry to make quick money in 0 never expected.

However, at the end of 06, it was far from the time for the stock to be eliminated, but Gao Huaijun's intervention stirred up a pool of spring water.

Lian Xiang unexpectedly detonated the market and brought the market into the harvest era ahead of schedule!
Such a violent market reaction was something that even the instigator never expected!
However, even if second- and third-rate manufacturers have reduced prices now, the market is still in the same sluggish situation as it was at the same time in 05.

Because customers know that although Lianxiang has made a head start, it is by no means the main force.

They are observing when the leading players, Sansang, Nokia, and Motorola will enter the market!
Unexpectedly, even though the market has undergone such drastic changes, the three major mobile phone brands still have not taken any action.

After all, their current sales inventory is still very high.

Moreover, their prices need to be synchronized globally. The status of the China region is not that of later generations. It is lower than that of the Asia-Pacific region. Naturally, they have no say in commanding the brand headquarters to carry out price reductions.

In this case, things began to stalemate paradoxically.

Customers hope that leading manufacturers will cut prices and then buy value-for-money phones at bargain prices to get a bargain before the Chinese New Year.

However, the leading manufacturers are limited by their global position and are unable to downgrade their offices in China. They can only watch their sales slowly decline!
As a budding star, Hillhouse Technology has not made much action so far, but many people are curious about how this completely different R&D company will perform differently.

"Mr. Gao, the market changes are too drastic now! The boss and the second child fought and the third child was killed. Now the big mobile phone manufacturers are not moving, but the dead ones are all small mobile phone manufacturers. Our annual sales volume has dropped from the very beginning. The monthly sales volume was 4.5 units, which dropped to 2 units, and now it has dropped to 1.5 units, and it has dropped further..." Lin Yunshen said with a wry smile in Gao Huaijun's office.

After saying that, Lin Yunshen stopped talking and did not continue.

Gao Huaijun understood what he meant as soon as he heard it!
There was anger in his heart!

The friendly businessmen in this world are not the kind of NPC-style businessmen who just sit back and watch you grow and develop.

Hillhouse Technology now accounts for more than 2500% of the 10+ market, which is already a good piece of cake.

Although domestic mobile phone manufacturers cannot occupy most of the shares held by Nokia, Motorola, and Sansan, you can still take a peek at the share occupied by Hillhouse Technology!

MD!

We don’t take cakes from foreigners, we only take them from our own people, right?
It’s quite interesting to wrap it up!

Now Hillhouse Technology is implementing the 1+N strategy. If the N of mobile phones is greatly affected, then the entire group’s R&D strategy will be affected.

Now is the time when money is flowing like water. No one can bear to be stabbed in the back!

Very realistic stuff!

"Now the prices of all competing products have been officially lowered. It is impossible for us not to lower them officially. All products should be stabilized first. After the strategies of major mobile phone manufacturers come out, we will make strategic adjustments!" Gao Huaijun couldn't help but said heartbroken.

Now is not the time for price adjustments.

If the price is adjusted, it needs to be adjusted in place. A reduction of more than 300 yuan will be effective, which means that the profit will be reduced by half.

It’s wise to check the situation first and then make adjustments.

OK!

Don’t you want to stop this new melon egg like me?
He accepts all challenges.

Although Hillhouse Technology is just a new mobile phone manufacturer now, its control over resources and supply chain is bound to be much weaker than that. There is nothing that can be done about this kind of thing.

But Gao Huaijun holds a grudge. If you play like this today and don't give Hillhouse Technology a way to survive, he will not be polite in the future!
