Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian went to America again.This is not a major problem with product design, but purely to unify opinions with the old man Olsen - it turns out that the old man came from the idea of ​​an engineer, and many of the ideas in equipment design are completely different from Jia Hongjian's ideas. different!For example, when Jia Hongjian wanted to install an LCD screen, he was under the urging of a product manager similar to a designer. The all-in-one machine he wanted to design was the same as the all-in-one machine in the 21st century, mainly slim Lightweight, thin and good-looking.

But, this old man Olsen is in the thinking of an engineer.So in the old man's mind, the machine should be as stable as possible—preferably without maintenance for 20 years after leaving the factory, which is simply great!Even if the home computer is made into a workstation or server that runs 24 hours a day and can run for several years without any problems, that would be even better!

Therefore, in terms of the design of the all-in-one machine, Jia Hongjian really wanted to focus on making the product beautiful. As for the stability and instability, as long as it passed the passing line, it would be fine!That is to say, everything that puts beauty first, and things like stability and performance are all in the back!But from the old man Olson’s point of view, this performance and stability are competing for the first and second. As for the aesthetics, that is, after he has designed the performance and stability, he can find a few artists, designers, etc. Beautify the appearance and that's it!

As for the shell of this all-in-one machine, Jia Hongjian mainly wants to look slim, and in order to make money, he doesn't care if he can update the accessories - if it can be updated, how can consumers be forced to buy it after a few years? their new product?

Of course.Jia Hongjian was indeed bad-hearted, but on the other hand, how could this all-in-one computer compare with a desktop computer?Just like a notebook computer, the main thing is slimness, and the slimness itself needs to remove a certain degree of upgradeability-who can make a notebook that can be replaced with accessories?Most of the graphics cards are still directly soldered to the motherboard, so how can they be upgraded?Of course, there is also a certain reason for this. The manufacturer deliberately wants to deceive consumers to upgrade and buy new products, but there is also a problem, the warranty problem!

In the machine market, even for desktops.Screws on the outside of the case.It also has a seal!Similarly, various accessories in the DIY market are also sealed in various key places.Otherwise, who knows if the thing is damaged in normal use or if it is considered damaged by disassembly?Who can even guarantee that the product is not a product that was secretly replaced by a bad part?Like this all-in-one. The cpu, graphics card, and hard disk are all placed in the machine.If this allows consumers to upgrade at will, in case the consumer turns back and takes a bad product—for example, the CPU is replaced in the machine, and then the warranty is guaranteed.How can this after-sales department be sure that something is really a regular product of theirs? sn code?Come on, Huaqiangbei has a lot of refurbished and fake ones, okay?

Even when the genuine cpu is sold, the outer package can be cut and pasted on the repackaged product, and even the information of Intel is printed on the cpu shell, which can be directly polished and reprinted!You know, many shopkeepers in Huaqiangbei used to work in Foxconn and other foundries. The workflow and machines are really not troublesome!Even for the cpu alone, Jia Hongjian has seen a super amazing refurbished u-removing the shells of a first-generation and second-generation i5 respectively, and then replacing them, this second-hand first-generation i5 costing hundreds of dollars It becomes the second-generation i5 worth a thousand yuan!

If this all-in-one machine is sold, the other party uses this method to cheat the new one?And what if a first-generation i5 core is used that is broken, and then a second-generation i5 shell is put on it?How do you judge the interior when things are already broken?By the bottom pins?But the problem is, if the problem can be found by stitches alone, is it still a profiteer?Is that still Huaqiangbei?Of course they even changed the pins!

In this way, as long as there is a little negligence, it is really easy to be deceived. A bad part that may only cost two hundred yuan becomes a good one that costs thousands of yuan. There are even hard drives, memory, motherboards, etc., which can be said to be If there is nothing that cannot be faked, there is nothing that cannot be cheated!

Under such circumstances, would Jia Hongjian cause trouble for himself?Of course, there is no warranty if the machine is disassembled!Regardless of Sanqi 21, as long as it is disassembled, there will be no warranty!In this way, since consumers cannot disassemble the machine during the 3-year warranty period, what accessories should be upgraded?Yes or no?Even branded desktops, in theory, do not support consumers secretly upgrading accessories by themselves!Since the accessories couldn't be upgraded, Jia Hongjian felt that he might as well follow the method of the notebook and just solder it to death!But from old man Olson's point of view, there is something wrong with all of this.Especially in the eyes of the old man, the computer should be made stupid first, the main thing is to be stable, it is best to have an all-in-one computer weighing 20 kg or even 30 kg!In this way, it is absolutely stable, even if there is a thunderstorm, it will not be struck by lightning, and there should be no problem even if it is turned on for 24 hours continuously for a year. When playing various high-stress software or games at the same time, the machine should not overheat... So in the end, what the old man can design is obviously much bigger than what Jia Hongjian designed.

However, these issues were not important, and Jia Hongjian felt no pressure to convince the old man.What really needs to convince the old man is a wireless accessory - if Jia Hongjian wants to use an all-in-one computer, then obviously a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard are the best.But in this year, there are no good technical solutions for wireless mice and wireless keyboards. The only available solution is an infrared solution.

This infrared solution, generally speaking, relies on the mouse itself to emit infrared rays, and then another receiver must be placed in front of the mouse so that it can be positioned.But obviously only one receiver can only accept the coordinates of the x-axis, so the y-axis is also needed.In the end, even after doing this, the final positioning of the mouse is not too accurate!So historically, this wireless mouse model has not been very popular.

But in this day and age, bluetooth has not yet been set up!So in theory, Jia Hongjian and the others don't have any wireless mouse mode that can be used.The way Jia Hongjian thought of was to improve the infrared mode as much as possible, so that daily applications would not be a problem, but playing fast-paced shooting games or Interstellar would not be a problem.But the old man Olsen obviously refused to accept such a model.

If the all-in-one machine should be made slim and not so exaggeratedly stable, just to ensure the daily operation, and then make the product look better, this old man can still recognize it by pinching his nose. After all, ordinary users don’t It would be so crazy not to turn off the computer for a year. Even according to the statistics of the United States, after ordinary users go home at night, the time for turning on the computer is not long.Although the number of Internet users in the United States is growing very fast, ordinary people are still used to playing other entertainments—watching movies, watching TV, watching sports, going out, etc., and there is very little time in front of the computer, let alone playing games , They are also more willing to play with game consoles, especially the n64 game consoles that sell well in North America.So in this case, the old man didn't want to argue with just Ai Hung-chien.

But in terms of wireless applications, the old man really has to fight!Although Jia Hongjian said that he would improve it in the infrared mode, this old man is a technical expert!The infrared positioning is inaccurate, that's for sure!This is how it can be improved!Unless you use big money to improve!But it was improved with a lot of money, and this is only used on the mouse and keyboard?These two things are going to sell for $1000 a set?

So the old man suggested that it is better to find a new plan to design. After all, whoever said that the wireless mouse must use infrared rays, right?To put it bluntly, something like infrared is light, and light itself is a kind of radio, right?Moreover, such things as radio positioning have long been made by the military in history-don't forget that radar and sonar are themselves a technology of radio positioning!Moreover, people still perform precise positioning in three-dimensional space, which is only a movement on the xy axis on a two-dimensional plane, so it can't be positioned?

However, the reason why Jia Hongjian was not happy was that after all, it only took half a year. In half a year, could the old man really develop it?He didn't know that Apple's configuration was much worse than his. He thought that Apple's configuration was similar to his. Under such circumstances, if the release was a day late, he could rely on the so-called wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. consumers to buy it?In his opinion, if the function and configuration are similar, it depends on who releases it first!Whoever publishes first wins!

In the past six months, the old man has developed it, but if it is not developed in the end, what should we do?Three months and four months later, the old man found that he had chosen the wrong route, and the whole plan for the machine might have been ruined!The large sum of money invested is basically in his hands!Can Jia Hongjian take this risk?

But who knew that after several discussions on the phone, the old man Olsen lost his temper!Unexpectedly, before Jia Hongjian lost his temper, the old man lost his temper!He yelled, "The product is so bad that I will give you back the money for the shares! Olson can afford to lose such a small amount of money! If you are willing to take the risk, I will withdraw the shares for you now, and then I will pay the money alone Research!" Then, the old man hung up Jia Hongjian's phone!Hey!In this way, can Jia Hongjian not come to the United States? (To be continued..)
