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

Chapter 173 Chapter 5-7: Jobs’ shock! (three chapters in total)
The technical documentation of Mate 4 was compiled and analyzed by Ding Peng, and these simple sketches of ideas were distributed to the R&D personnel of Hillhouse Technology.

As before, the drawings passed by Gao Huaijun were organized and grouped, and divided into various sub-modules.

There are 21 sub-modules in total, such as screen, motherboard, battery, etc. These sub-modules are further subdivided into 1034 sub-items in total!
Gao Huaijun mainly controls the main appearance and functional configuration of Mate 4. How to implement it and how to coordinate the parts are all solved by the engineers themselves!
Now Hillhouse Technology has a R&D team of over 5000 people. Naturally, Gao Huaijun will not think out every detail as he did before.

After all, he has now traveled to this era for four full years!

Some memories began to blur slowly, and he could only record some key events and techniques in his notebook by taking notes.

In the development of mate3 and matepad2, Gao Huaijun tried his best not to disturb the development rhythm of the R&D team.

But to his disappointment, Hillhouse Technology's team was indeed unable to achieve the effect he could achieve by using information gaps.

There's nothing you can do about it. Originally, those popular products in previous lives have been tested by the market at all levels. If you use them as a matter of principle, they will definitely have good results.

Behind these popular products, even the original company itself will produce many mediocre products. This is a normal thing.

This means that the team of Hillhouse Technology is still very dependent on his information gap!
Therefore, he still needs to support this team for a while, and then slowly let go after the team stabilizes at a certain scale!

However, in fact, it took only four years for this team to build to its current level, which is already very good!

. . . . . .

"Have the materials been submitted to the screen team? Haven't submitted them yet? What are you doing? Give me a reminder. Their mission is the most difficult this time. I want them to participate first. Don't worry about optimization and verification. First, submit the materials to the screen team." Give them first, let them optimize, now the general map and the sub-map start to optimize together, let's grab time together!"

"Ah Niu, have you contacted the large-screen partner I asked you to contact in advance? No contact! What are you doing! How long are you going to communicate at this time! If you continue to mess around like this, I will eat you, a Nanyue Zai! You should first contact Chenhong (TPK) in Wanwan. Their boss Jiang Chaorui is a pioneer of capacitive touch screens and has been researching touch screens since 95. Let’s take the initiative to communicate with them.”

"Brother, we are at war! I want to see the final feedback information within three days, and at the same time, after three days, let the manufacturer send people over to do pre-development work with us. Remember, if this communication goes wrong If there is a problem, the entire project will be affected. None of us can afford this responsibility. Please hurry up and help me implement it clearly!"

"Xiaoqiang, have you followed the experimental material process I asked you to follow? The basic experimental stage and the drawing stage are interleaved. No more! After completing one module, experiment on one module! Too wasteful? I don't dislike waste, but you? You? Do you know how much labor wages it costs for engineers waiting for materials if you waste a day? Do you know more about mobile phone research and development than Mr. Gao? Street boy, hurry up and complete the entire process! Don’t let me in See you again here!”

"Our fingerprint unlocking pattern requires the use of a capacitive fingerprint sensor, which is a sliding acquisition. This is to slide your finger over the sensor, so that the mobile phone obtains a fingerprint image. We are not clear about this sector and need to use Go to the underlying algorithm logic of algorithm engineers! Now the company’s algorithm engineers are completely insufficient. Talk to the human resources department and we need to recruit more people!”

Inside the Hillhouse Technology R&D Center, Min Weiguo looked serious and gave instructions one after another.

This time it looks like the screen is just 50% larger, but in fact basically everything inside has changed!
This is actually a disruptive change.

Chip performance, battery capacity, screen structure, camera components, and various matching tiny components have all been changed into new, more powerful components, which will also serve the future high-end ecosystem of Hillhouse Technology.

Large screens, capacitive screens, and fingerprint memes need to be developed within half a year.

He feels like Alexander!

Recently, the R&D department of Hillhouse Technology has been reorganized, from a single-project responsibility system to a multi-group mixed race.

In other words, the same research and development component, such as a fingerprint meme.

It will not be like other companies that will only set up a special group to conduct specialized research and development.

It's the same thing, forming three different teams in one go and running on the same track at the same time!
Although, this will cause a certain waste of resources.

However, it will increase the R&D efficiency of the entire team and reduce the chances of employees taking advantage of it!

Because, generally speaking, at the end of a project cycle, the worst group will be forcibly disbanded, and all employees will be comprehensively evaluated for scoring and comprehensive ability assessment.

Let me ask, under such high pressure and the carrot and stick of Gao Huaijun's high salary, which R&D employee dares not to work hard, and who dares to slack off!
In this case, it is easier to develop an iron army!

Now is not the time for Hillhouse Technology to go overseas on a large scale. With some funds, it must plan well and prepare for the later stage.

"If you still have any difficulties, just tell them now. I will try my best to solve them for you if they can be solved. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, I will tell you the platoon tasks of the platoon and the platoon panoramic plan of the platoon's third-level panoramic plan. If we are looking for ways to ask for resources from Mr. Gao, we must overcome this hurdle!"

"This is a big project, and it is also a difficult project. Many technologies are tried and verified for the first time. Therefore, it is very normal for you to feel pressured. But don't be afraid of challenges. Mr. Gao has already solved the most difficult problems. The direction has been given to us. If we can't even get it off the ground, how can we prove that our Hillhouse Technology has the capability to be the big brother compared to Lingxiao Technology!"

"I'm not lying. Our Hillhouse Technology R&D Center just wants to win!"

"Big guy, fuck me to death!"

Min Weiguo looked kind, but when he spoke, he had no room for words!

Ding Peng, director of the mobile phone R&D department on the side, had a wry smile on his face after listening.

It is to mobilize all resources, and don’t be afraid of challenges. Isn’t this beating yourself!

This was the first time he had seen Min Weiguo so nervous.

Now Lingxiao Technology is not called Lingxiao Automobile, but Lingxiao Technology, which illustrates Gao Huaijun's ambition!

Hillhouse Group is now in a period of rapid expansion.

In fact, this is a very big opportunity for Ding Peng.

He was a poor kid from a rural area who couldn't even pay his tuition when he was in high school. Now he could see the door to an upward leap in the distance.

This is an opportunity that ordinary people may not see after working hard all their lives.

But now, Gao Huaijun can give it to him.

For him, how can he not work hard!
It seems that the past six months have not been easy, and everyone has to work overtime desperately. This is not the rhythm of 996, this is 007!

It seems that we have to rent the house in an apartment next to the R&D center. Although it is very noisy there, it is convenient!

Thinking of this, Ding Peng took a deep breath and replied, "Mr. Min, don't worry, you should be aware of the abilities of your brothers. Which one of us has been held back! All members of our project have already made plans. , will definitely not delay the progress of the project, all I need is one word - do it!"

【Chapter 6】

Plans don't change fast!
The reaction speed of these electronic technology competitors is really too fast, and they don't have the awareness of those NPCs in the novels he read in his previous life, who were directly passively beaten. These guys don't talk about martial arts, and they counterattack very quickly!
During the period before the Chinese New Year, competitors such as Lianxiang and Kupai have developed products similar to the Mate 3. Even major manufacturers such as Motorola and Sony have begun to join the battle and are preparing to launch them in March next year. Corresponding competing products.

It is worth mentioning that Pingguo’s mobile phone, iPhone 4S, has also been released ahead of schedule and will be launched in April next year!
Just like this, how can Gao Huaijun still sit still!
There are wolves in front and tigers behind. If Gao Huaijun Technology continues to iterate slowly and the core business of mobile phones is swallowed up, all other businesses will be finished.

Therefore, before the Chinese New Year, Gao Huaijun decided to overturn the original conservative and iterative development strategy and prepared to launch a new mobile phone product at the end of 08!
. . . . . .

The butterfly effect caused by Hillhouse Technology is still ongoing.

On the other side of the ocean.

Gary Wozniak, the second boss of Pingguo Company, felt that today was not a good day because his damn ex-girlfriend Jessica called again today and said that she had several cards with others. Photos of intimate connections between people. I am now considering sending these photos to my wife, hoping that he will drive to San Francisco after work to discuss the price of these photos.

After saying three words starting with B, he arrived at the company, opened the refrigerator, opened a can of beer and drank it.

At this time, a male voice came from behind him, "Hey! Gary! What's going on, old man? Didn't you have fun with your little sweetheart last night? Pour yourself beer early in the morning!"

The person coming is really the boss of Pingguo Company, Steve Jobs!

"My ex-sweetheart did something very unpleasant to me. I'm trying to think of some ways to deal with this kind of thing." Gary shrugged and explained his situation rather helplessly. .

While he was talking, Jobs stood at the living bar nearby and poured two glasses of Fortaleza. Fortaleza is a Mexican lowland tequila made from agave. It takes longer to mature than highland agave and is typically characterized by a sweeter taste.

Jobs turned around and handed one of the glasses to Gary, and said with a smile, "Life is like this glass of wine. Although it is slightly bitter, the aftertaste will be sweeter! What is not a trivial matter for us? I know The contact information of a DEA narcotics officer in California, maybe he can help you."

After speaking, he spread his hands and pursed his lips helplessly.

Gary looked at him doubtfully now, and then he couldn't help but realize!
In this beautiful country, without the control of an invisible big hand, the rich have many more tools at their disposal!
This kid Jobs is really ruthless in working within the rules of the beautiful country (network)!
"Okay, now I can only force myself to accept what I am very unconvinced about. You have extraordinary charm." Gary took the glass and smiled, "I really envy your physical strength. At this age, I can hang out with those young R&D personnel. It reminds me of my youth." "Here's to those years!" Jobs raised his glass.

Gary raised his glass and clinked it with Jobs, sighing a little, "Here's to the youth!"

"Recently, the sales volume of Pingguo's first-generation mobile phone in 07 was released. It was less than 60 units for the whole year. I don't know where the problem is. According to this sales volume, we are losing money!" He drank it all in one gulp and then spoke.

Pingguo Company has made great achievements with the iPod. Originally, it was confident that it would make great achievements in the field of mobile phones, but the first product suffered a big setback!
The first-generation iPhone can be said to have created a new era of smartphones. It revolutionized the introduction of glass touch screens into the field of smartphones. It launched the AppStore software platform for the first time, creating an era of touch control. Only concentrated in North America, the sales volume is not high, at least not comparable to Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Dopod at that time.

This wave made Pingguo comfortable, and made the family almost lose their underwear, but the family almost didn't slow down!

In 08, the R&D expenses of the beautiful country were not comparable to those of China.

At Hillhouse Technology, a skilled R&D personnel who has worked for three years can easily do it with only a salary of 10 Chinese yuan.

However, in this beautiful country, especially in a place like Silicon Valley, recruiting people with this salary is simply a dream!

The salary of programmers here is five to ten times that in China.

"We shouldn't sell such a small product. I think this product should at least sell more than a million units. Now it's just this little, which is incredible!" Jobs felt that he didn't drink enough wine and frowned. Pour yourself another glass.

He was under a lot of pressure during this time.

He had already been kicked out by the board of directors once because of his weird temper.

He doesn't want to be kicked out a second time now!

Otherwise it would be too embarrassing!

"What do you think of this product?" Gary said and handed the latest mate3 mobile phone and related survey materials to Jobs from his office.

Jobs glanced at Gary suspiciously, then glanced at the report.

When he saw that Hillhouse Technology was just an ordinary small company in China, and then saw the company's sales data, he couldn't help but show contempt on his face.

However, when he saw that mate3 continued the packaging design of mate2 and felt like an exquisite luxury product, he couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he dismantled the packaging box, took out the phone, and played with it carefully for a while.

"Hillhouse Technology?"

"A company from China?"

“I have to say, their product design looks really good! The packaging is very beautiful!”

"Oh! Damn it!"

"Why didn't I think of it? Using luxury packaging to package mobile phones gives people a high-end feel!"

“The creativity of this company is really great!”

【Chapter 7】

Jobs drank the wine in his hand and said solemnly.

Gary couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

Steve Jobs was a very proud man, yes, very proud.

In his eyes, Pingguo's products are all No. 1, and everything else is rubbish. Even big brands such as Nokia, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson are not looked down upon by him.

Today he rarely praised a Huaguo brand, the sun came out from the west?
"Don't underestimate the outer packaging. It is the core face of a machine. A person's first impression starts with the outer packaging!" Jobs ignored him, removed the outer casing, opened Mate 3, and his expression changed drastically. .

And Gary, who was standing casually aside, couldn't help but jump up when he saw the style of this phone.

Judging from the style, this phone is very similar to their latest iPhone 2.

Not to say they are exactly alike, but they are similar.

However, you said that it is impossible for this Mate 3 phone to copy the iPhone 2. They already have finished products, and it has been on the market in China for a while. If they want to copy it, it is Jobs who copied it!
"Steven, do you want to explain?" Gary looked at him a little strangely, and after a while he said slowly.

The phone, along with the report, had been sitting in his office for several months.

He glanced at the header of the document several times.

When he saw it was a company he had never heard of, he just let it go.

Who would have thought that something so unexpected would happen!

"Do you know what you are talking about? Mr. Wozniak! I, Steve Jobs, will never do something illegal in this life! This will trigger the Patent Law of our great and beautiful country. )"of!"

While talking, Jobs opened the bookcase on the side of the office, and there were stacks of design documents stacked neatly on it, each with a corresponding number, stacked on top of it, as if a hill had been piled up.

He casually picked up a stack of design materials in May 07, before the mate 5 went on the market. It contained the original design of the iPhone 3, which was indeed similar to the current one.

"But damn, why were our design documents leaked? In other words, there was a collision between our product and this product from distant China! Dear Gary, can you tell me what happened!"

"What the hell!" Gary opened his mouth and muttered a few words, then suddenly froze with a dull expression.

They feel that the innovative product iPhone 2 is a unique, unique, and special product.

However, they never expected it.

In the far and mysterious East, there is actually a mobile phone that was able to make a mobile phone with this concept before them.

This is simply incredible!
"Now our mobile phone is about to go on the market in three months. If we go on the market, will it trigger our great "Patent Law?" Jobs raised his head and asked the shocked Wozniak.

"I would like to ask Gene Lvov (Chief Lawyer of Pingguo Company) about this, but according to my familiarity with the laws of the beautiful country, if we do not sell in China, and they have not applied for a patent in the beautiful country, there is no problem. Big problem." Wozniak looked at Jobs.

It looks like this, are you sure you want to continue to force the listing?

"There is no problem with patents! I have successfully applied for many patents last year!"

"How could our great Pingguo company lose to a nameless junior from Huaguo! We need to carry out a second round of product improvement. Now our products are not enough to make it stunning in the world, but I can Give it a little more inspiration. So, I need to give it the last spark!" Jobs stood up excitedly, and stretched his fists into the air!

After all, he belongs to the child of luck in this world!
Compared with Musk, one of the three horses in the later generations, although he is not famous enough, he is definitely a godfather figure. In this era, he can beat other big-name mobile phone companies to the ground!

"WTF! What Starfire? Steven! Can you stop talking like my godfather and talk to me like a human?" Gary impatiently wanted to end this meaningless conversation. After all, Now Pingguo Company's main battlefield is in the beautiful country, not in China, but when he heard what Jobs said, he couldn't help but be stunned, "And Steven, what do you want to do, after all! This product is still It will be on the market in 3 months! We have now laid out the channels, and the advertisements have been released in advance. You told me to return to the GTR2 node and re-develop new mobile phones. What do you want to do? Do you know that you are doing this? It will make Pingguo Company bankrupt!"

Gary could no longer imagine the expressions of those channel dealers after the iPhone 2 was delayed.

The sales of the iPhone 1 were not very good in the first place, but now they are trying to do something stupid like this.

You, Steve Jobs, are playing around!
Do you still want to work at Pingguo Company?
Jobs put the mate 3 mobile phone on the table, and said frantically, "Heretics from Huaguo! He successfully aroused my desire to win! I want to show them, the genius Steven Jobs , What kind of work do you want to bring to the world!"

"Oh! God! How should I persuade the beloved Mr. Jobs not to embark on a criminal path!" Gary held his head and shouted loudly.
