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

Chapter 489 Chapter 287-288: Is this the new product? (4000 words)
"Did Mr. Gao attend the meeting this time?"

"Confirm to come to the meeting."

"Tsk, tsk, this is really awesome. In the past, it was President Gao who came to guide us. This time, we confirmed with President Gao that we would produce a high-quality product."

"That's not the case. Hillhouse is no longer the Hillhouse that expanded rapidly a few years ago. The current Hillhouse has gathered a large group of experienced R&D personnel. This advantage is not something that ordinary manufacturers can match."

"Indeed, I have been at Hillhouse for so many years, and I have witnessed with my own eyes that Hillhouse has changed from accepting people with a basic knowledge of computer science to not even being able to get an interview unless you are from a strong 211 or 985 university. This change is really huge."

Before Gao Huaijun attended the meeting, this group of usually very busy executives were chatting while drinking water in the conference room.

In fact, there are many people in it who followed Gao Huaijun in the early days.

The longest one even dates back to the MP3 era.

The entry threshold of Hillhouse is getting higher and higher. These executives actually know that if they enter Hillhouse now, they may not even pass the resume review.

Everyone must clearly understand one thing, that is, whether it is work or love, there are "bonuses", but when the bonuses come, don't be smart and abandon them!

For example, companies of the same generation as Hillhouse Capital, if you went to Tengxun and Ali in 08, you basically only needed to take Java training classes.

If you hold on, you can now get a minimum of P9. Back then, the Internet industry was just a younger brother in front of civil engineers and was known as a job that received a fixed salary.

At that time, the civil engineers claimed to have a monthly salary of 988 yuan and monthly expenses of yuan. They would go to KTV for foot massage every few days. The price of an hour of love with a young lady was no less than yuan. The money would be reimbursed wherever they went, and they would still have more than yuan in hand. At that time, the monthly salary of yuan was really not enough.

What a fast-growing company needs most is not talent but manpower.

Most jobs require selective screening, not persuasive screening. As long as you know the basic operations, you will be qualified.

Once you enter society, you will understand that the difficulty of getting into a company has nothing to do with its quality. The more difficult it is to get into a company is not necessarily better.

The correct approach is to quickly enter a company that is expanding rapidly, whether to learn technology or expand your network, and take advantage of this favorable situation to expand yourself.

Success in history is not achieved through hard work. It’s all about the Matthew effect: one step is drastic, each step is ruthless, and in the end you reap the rewards.

If you read some history, you will know that the founding generals in history were a combination of luck + region + time of employment.

You are not an old brother from Pei County. Unless you have the character of Han Xin, you will be a spearman all your life. If you are a brother from Pei County, start by leading a hundred people to fight, and then a thousand, ten thousand, and you will be granted a title of nobility.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more so. The 28 generals of Huaixi were selected from the 400 people that Zhu Yuanzhang picked when he first broke away from Guo Zixing to work on his own. Even if you can't make it, like Qi Jiguang's ancestors, wouldn't it be great to get a hereditary thousand households? Fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang, you will make progress every day, which is much better than figuring it out on your own.

When an organization expands, it will continue to provide you with resources, and you can grow if you pay attention.

On the contrary, if an organization is shrinking, such as the real estate industry in later generations, then you can only wish you good luck!
In fact, this world is just a makeshift team.

The gap between people is not as big as you think.

The reason why others can reach this position is not necessarily because of their amazing abilities, but because they may have the right opportunity, the right time, and the right ability to step onto that stage!
This is the case for the senior executives in Hillhouse, including Tingxun, Ali, and the brothers of Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang. Basically, it is the same.

Therefore, many of Hillhouse’s senior executives now actually know what happened. Those who have managed to stay until now are naturally smart people.

In fact, they tried their best to prove something to Gao Huaijun, but Gao Huaijun was too amazing.

Nowadays, no matter how creative a startup is, none of them is as creative as Gao Huaijun alone!
After so many years, Pingguo is still relying on the iPhone 4. Although Tesla has launched the Model 3 and Model Y, it is still relying on the original Roadster.

Not to mention NASA, which can’t even get a spacecraft to the International Space Station.

Even so, it is still quite astonishing that Hillhouse can take a big step forward every half a year and a leap forward every year.

There is both the capital accumulation of large companies and the creative passion of start-ups.

You're putting a lot of pressure on the people below you!
However, now, they can finally come up with a product that is worth showing off!
When Gao Huaijun arrived, everyone fell silent.

"Mr. Gao is here. Let me tell you about the products we have this time." Min Weiguo coughed, and then someone projected a picture of the product onto the screen!

Because this time the people in the R&D department kept the suspense.

Therefore, even the executives from other departments were very curious at this time, wondering what products the R&D department would come up with.

A subversive work in the mate series?
Or launch a completely different product?

Or something like Xiaoling APP, which seemed completely incredible a year ago, but now we have to admit that it is a truly god-level product.

Thinking of this moment, many people smiled at each other spontaneously.

How can such a product be produced casually?

The Mate series has produced more than ten generations of products, and the classic ones are still the ones designed by Gao Huaijun himself.

Not to mention the unique products.

And the Xiaoling APP?

Such god-level software is a powerful product that can increase soft power. For Hillhouse Technology, it is not as simple as 1+1>2.

Now, many official government accounts have been gradually added to the Xiaoling APP.

This is no longer just a short video platform!
This is exactly the same as the propaganda mouthpiece of a government’s propaganda department!

With these official accounts, Hillhouse’s traffic value has reached a new level compared to half a year ago.

When they thought that this product was at most a major iteration and was not beyond their imagination, Min Weiguo smiled slightly, bowed his head and said, "The product we made this time... is a three-fold phone!"

Triple foldable phone?
The people in the audience couldn't help but burst into an uproar!
Hillhouse has been making foldable phones for some time.

But the quantity has not increased.

The core reasons are that the yield rate of the screen is very low, no higher than 50%, and the second is that the crease is very difficult to make.

These two difficulties have also led to the fact that the delivery volume of Hillhouse's folding phones has always been small, and the selling price is also very high.

Now, Hillhouse is actually planning to make a three-fold mobile phone...

Is this going against heaven?
I don’t know how low the yield rate will be, and the cost will probably go through the roof.

Will anyone want this product?
Gao Huaijun was a little surprised.

Before he traveled through time, there was no tri-fold mobile phone in China.

The most you can do is fold it in half or horizontally.

He had never seen a three-fold mobile phone.

Then, he looked at the design of Min Weiguo's team with great interest.

Whether it is three-fold or two-fold, he has no problem with it. After all, in his opinion, this kind of product itself is not too large!

Now, in this era, Min Weiguo is very interested in the fact that he can create a product that will not exist before 2023.

This means that under his influence, the space-time has truly undergone tremendous changes!

The product released by Min Weiguo has two colors: dark black and red.

Judging from the renderings, the style is very good.

The back of the fuselage is designed with a central axis symmetry, shaped like an octagonal star diamond.

Looking at the details, there is a texture called "rock vein" on it, which looks very textured, and there is a logo in the upper right corner, which highlights its recognition.

When you close the entire phone, it becomes a candy-bar phone, and the thickness is well controlled.

When unfolded, it becomes a large 10.2-inch screen, which can provide both mobile phone and tablet experience at the same time.

There is a difference between these two folds, one is an outward fold and the other is an inward fold, so it is a "two-way fold".

Min Weiguo made a special demonstration of the bending angle, and it can actually achieve all-directional bending from -180° to +180°!

The corners of Gao Huaijun's mouth curled up slightly.

Sure! This kid!
Next, Min Weiguo let everyone feel the thickness of the body. This was another small shock. You know, even if the X3 and X3mini are folded outward and inward and put together, the thickness is 18.6mm.

But the thickest part of this phone is only 14.8mm, and the thinnest part is only 5.6mm!

It is about the thickness of a magazine and is the thinnest mobile phone currently made.

What the hell!

It is actually possible to do this now!
It can be imagined that when making the two-fold mobile phone, Min Weiguo and his team had already accumulated technical experience.

At this moment, even Gao Huaijun's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

This effect is really shocking.

Although Hillhouse has the most advanced battery technology of this era and the most advanced display screens.

However, what Min Weiguo is doing now is really amazing.

Here, Min Weiguo explains the key to how this product can achieve this.

That is because the hinge of this folding screen has changed from "external" to "embedded", and from "single door" to a sliding door with "built-in slide rails".

What does it mean? First of all, this outer folding part is the "embedded integrated connecting rod structure".

The inward folding is an "embedded slide rail structure", which changes the arc arm and the middle frame from being fixed together for rotation to being embedded for sliding. In this way, even at the same opening and closing angle, the space required for the hinge movement is smaller, making the hinge thinner.

This structure is somewhat similar to a segmented telescopic camera lens. For example, the Canon RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM also uses this telescopic form to achieve compactness and lightness.

When the outer lens extends outward, the inner lens moves in the opposite direction, so that when the same length is extended, the internal movement space required is smaller and the overall design is more compact.

"Fuck! This technique is quite advanced!"

“It can actually be made that thin!”

"Old Min is quite capable!"

"To be able to make a mobile phone to this level is already a tipping point that is far beyond the world's mobile phone standards."

"More than that! Even if you give Pingguo another fifty years, it won't be able to produce such a product."

"The mobile phone industry has been stagnant for so long now. All manufacturers are lacking in innovation drive for mobile phone research and development."

During the intermission of the meeting, the senior executives below could not help but shout.

Gao Huaijun saw the excited expressions of the executives below, but did not stop them. He just smiled and drank tea on the side.

Min Weiguo really came up with some solid stuff this time!
It's really amazing that they can handle such a product!

Immediately in the second half, Min Weiguo introduced some details of the screen axis linkage.

This mobile phone can actually recognize the screen shape and drive the pixels to light up or darken.

To put it simply, whatever you turn on will light up.

When opened 1/3 it is a candy-bar phone, when opened 2/3 it is an ordinary folding screen, and when fully lit it is a triple fold. When fully unfolded, the content that can be displayed is several times more. Compared with a candy-bar phone, after opening the latter, a short movie instantly becomes a big movie.

At the same time, this mobile phone cooperates with Hillhouse Battery and is equipped with three 2.9mm ultra-large-capacity batteries with a total capacity of 4600mAh and supports 36W wired fast charging.

The most interesting thing is that this phone also has a keyboard accessory. With a folding touch keyboard, it can instantly turn into a computer, just like when Steve Jobs put a pad in a paper bag at a product launch conference a few years ago. It is not an exaggeration to say that “putting a computer in your pocket”.

In general, this product can be said to be a technological breakthrough in materials, craftsmanship, and design. Its novel and unique appearance and three-fold form truly turn science fiction into reality.

At this time, all the executives could not calm down for a long time after reading Min Weiguo's report.

After he finished speaking, everyone applauded enthusiastically!

Awesome!
Very cool!
It's so arrogant!

All the executives present couldn't help but applaud Min Weiguo for his courage and spirit.

Triple fold!
If this product fails.

The amount of wasted funds started at 50 billion yuan.

It can even be said that before the initial three-fold project was launched, Hillhouse Technology had already done an unknown amount of preliminary work for the project.

Even Gao Huaijun may not know how much funding this part has!
Is Min Weiguo crazy?

Gao Huaijun was standing aside and originally wanted to comment.

After all, if such a product were to be put into practice, the money that would be spent would be enough to make him feel distressed for a while.

Min Weiguo is a kid who shouldn't waste money like this.

But when he saw Min Weiguo's expression, he swallowed the words back when they were about to come to his lips.

There is a force in his eyes!
This is a desire to prove one's own level!
"I guess Old Min also wants everyone to know that Hillhouse Technology's team's independent research and development capabilities are no pushover!" Gao Huaijun nodded slightly and thought to himself.
