Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 184 YunPad
Xu Shenxue actually doesn't mind this, and he even has some good feelings about it. In order to attract investment for economic development, people are trying all kinds of ways to do things, which is a good thing!
Of course, he has a good impression of me, but he generally doesn't make decisions lightly on matters like investment... The group's investment is subject to the strategic operations of the entire company, not just for a little goodwill.

After some polite words, everyone took a car to go to their hometown in the next city... There were not only Zhiyun staff but also people from their hometown.

Representatives from the neighboring city where the airport is located are also following!
The hometown of such a big God of Wealth was passing by their territory, and he also clearly expressed his desire to serve his hometown. Naturally, they would not let go of this opportunity easily.

If we are lucky enough to build a production base, it will bring in hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in exports, tens of thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions in tax revenue. We will be so happy that we will wake up in our sleep.

Even if there is no such large investment, it would be a great thing to have some small and medium-sized factories in the supply chain!
Anyway, I'm free anyway...

The rest of the journey was all official. After returning to my hometown, I worshipped my ancestors, participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the road into the village, and took a tour of the so-called old house.

An afternoon later, we arrived in the city, attended a symposium, and announced a factory-building plan for a supply chain subsidiary.

Then he went to several schools, announced his educational donations, and set up a scholarship to support the studies of poor and outstanding children in his hometown.

After these established plans were completed, on the way back to the airport...there was some space in between, and I was dragged to see an industrial park that was being planned and built near the airport...It's New Year's Day and someone is accompanying you around, shouldn't you show some appreciation?
Xu Shenxue asked Dong's office to have a brief discussion, and then said that a supply chain company under the smart home business of Weiku Electronics was planning to build a factory, and this factory could just be located here.

After throwing in tens of millions of dollars in investment, Xu Shenxue didn't care about anything else and just took his people and fled on a business jet... If he didn't run away, the other party would continue to use his eloquence.

These people really look for opportunities in every possible way, and their preparations are very solid... I guess a large group of people behind them got busy after hearing the news, otherwise there wouldn't be such a coincidence.

And extreme enthusiasm, which speaks of both advantages and difficulties.

In the end, Xu Shenxue had no choice but to give up tens of millions of investments, otherwise he would always feel sorry for others and feel guilty!
It was only after he got on the plane that Xu Shenxue came to his senses... Damn it, they're not suffering at all, they even have an airport. The airport industrial zone has just been developed, so it looks a little desolate.

There are a lot of companies in the new development zone on the other side of the city, and they are developing very well, with a very fast economic growth rate...

OK, I’ve been tricked!

But... After thinking about this, Xu Shenxue instructed Manager Dong to conduct a detailed investigation of this place, from labor costs to difficulty in recruiting workers, and then to the support strength, business environment, transportation and so on.

The investment promotion is so strong, and there are no negative incidents in the local area. The economic growth rate is so good, which means that this place has some good points.

Anyway, some subsequent industries will need to be moved to inland areas one after another, no matter where they are moved to. If the situation here is reliable, then it is not impossible to become an option!

There are not many people who dare to trick the richest man like Xu to build a factory just for an investment of tens of millions.

The most important thing is that their routine was successful. This kind of place is usually not too bad!

Xu Shenxue is not a fool. In such an informal occasion, he will not let you invest just by saying a few words... At that time, the other party took out a lot of detailed information and analyzed the pros and cons in detail, which made the group of people in Dong Jingban agree, and then Xu Shenxue nodded.

A few days after returning to Shenzhen, Manager Dong submitted a report saying that the airport city was doing well in all aspects.
Xu Shenxue immediately gave the order that this place could be used as a backup option if there were suitable projects in the future.

When doing business, especially when it comes to investing in physical assets, location is very important.

For example, in a place like India, anyone who goes there will be in trouble!

No matter you are a European or American multinational giant, or a Chinese enterprise foolishly wanting to make money overseas, every one of you will fail once you enter.

After returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors and make donations and the investment was completed, Zhiyun Technology also started its work after the Spring Festival.

Many employees have returned to work after their annual leave. Zhiyun Technology, Wecoo Electronics, Wecoo Industrial, and many companies under Xiannvshan Holdings have also gradually resumed their former busy state.

Zhiyun Technology's mobile phone business is operating normally. The development of the S11 and C4 series mobile phones is going smoothly, and the early development of the Plan A mobile phone, which is to be equipped with the self-developed Shuanghe chip, is also underway.

Therefore, Xu Shenxue did not pay too much attention to it, but instead focused on the ecological chain products.

Especially tablets!
The year before last, Zhiyun Technology's tablet computer plan had been put on the agenda, but time was tight. In addition, if Zhiyun Technology wanted to develop a tablet computer, it would not just make a tablet computer and be done with it.

Zhiyun Technology is going to make high-end tablet computers, so the requirements for various technical indicators are very high.

There aren't really any major issues with the hardware... after all, there's a fruit tablet in front of you, so you can just copy it.

This is not shameful... Anyway, Zhiyun Technology and Fruit are always copying each other... For example, the square design of the mobile phone, Zhiyun's S9 and S10 mobile phones are both unique body designs, and the appearance of Fruit 4 is actually highly similar. You say you have a patent, I say I also have a patent, it's just a mess.

Then Apple also copied Zhiyun in some functions, such as the smart photo-taking function.

In the notebook field, Zhiyun Technology also imitates fruits. Although there are some differences in appearance...but if you only look at the front of the two notebooks, only the LOGO icons are different, and the other differences are not very big.

The same is true for tablet computers. When Zhiyun Technology was developing tablet computers, it imitated fruit tablets to a great extent in terms of appearance design and even internal structure design, and then referred to the appearance design language of Zhiyun's own S series mobile phones.

Therefore, there is actually no big problem with the hardware!
The main problem lies in the software.

First of all, the system!
The Android system these days is not perfect. The super modified version of Yun OS cannot be used directly on tablets... It can definitely be used, but it will become a large mobile phone.

Therefore, it is necessary to make substantial modifications to the system first so that the Yun OS system can adapt to tablet computers.

For this purpose, Zhiyun Technology developed a YunPAD OS system based on Yun OS... The system team of Zhiyun Technology actually has great ambitions for this system. They not only want to make a mobile terminal device system like a mobile phone, but also want this system to be as close to the PC system as possible.

Therefore, in terms of system design and modification, the system is being made more of a productivity tool system, rather than a mobile phone system that is very idiot-proof and requires extreme smoothness.

We have even developed a number of new specialized developer tool kits to help developers convert various software running on the Yun OS ecosystem into compatible software under the YunP OS system at a very low cost.

Of course, the existing Android software under the Yun os system can actually be used on the new system YunP OS without conversion, but the adaptability is not as good.

These developer tool kits are not only used to convert existing Android software, but can also be used to better develop new software under the YUNP OS system.

The research and development of these developer kits alone consumed a lot of energy and time of Zhiyun Technology's tablet system department.

In addition to the system and developer kits, Zhiyun Technology's tablet project is also trying its best to add some office suites to its own tablets.

At first, they approached Kingsoft, a Chinese company, for joint research and development, but the progress was not up to par, and there were many problems. The cost issue was also difficult to resolve...

Microsoft abroad is also willing to cooperate, but Microsoft's office software mobile suite is expensive. If you let users buy it, it will cost hundreds of dollars a year.

However, as a tablet computer positioned for mobile office, various mobile office software is essential... and some of the most basic mobile office software must be provided for free.

Finally, Zhiyun Technology gritted its teeth and decided to follow Apple's example and create a basic office suite with built-in free software. It didn't require high performance, only basic functions.

First, it acquired a domestic startup company that made office software, and then carried out massive research and development work on this basis.

Finally, an office software was developed that is compatible with some mainstream file formats such as Office, and it is called Yun Office.

In addition, there are basic image editing, video editing and other software... Many of them are also modified from software acquired from startups.

Of course, Zhiyun Technology is not a company that specializes in these office software or tool software, and it does not expect to make money from them, so it did not make them too good. It just provided some basic functions so that users can have basic, free built-in software to use.

If users have more professional needs, they can download and purchase some professional office and tool software from Microsoft or other companies.

You have to build the system, develop components, and then get the basic office suite yourself. Finally, you have to contact a lot of software manufacturers and ask them to cooperate and develop a special tablet version APP.

While we were working on all these, the hardware level of smart terminals was developing so rapidly that the tablet computer project was constantly delayed and the original design had to be overturned and redesigned.

After all this trouble, by the time the system, supporting software, etc. were completed, the design of the tablet computer was actually very different from the original version.

At least it is very different from the first version of the design prototype that Xu Shenxue saw.

The tablet computer prototype he saw now was actually highly similar to the tablet computers of later generations. It had an aluminum alloy body and an IPS touch screen. The body was extremely light and thin and looked very beautiful.

And this is the 'YunPad' that Zhiyun Technology has delayed twice, but has finally completed research and development and will be launched in the spring conference.

A tablet computer that even Xu Shenxue thinks is good-looking!
