Chapter 0459 embrace the dream
On Monday morning, Li Rui was in charge of Green Field Culture and dealt with the backlog of various documents.
With the help of He Caocao, the documents have been finely divided into priorities and various categories, which has relieved Li Rui a lot of pressure.
At noon, he had a working meal with Chen Qinglian. Li Rui received a call from Qian Weichen, saying that there was new progress on Haida Electronics and hoped that he could go there.
When he arrived at Haida Electronics, Li Rui almost didn't dare to enter.
The acquisition of Haida Electronics was deserted and desolate. It can be used as a shooting scene for a horror film with a slight modification.
Come again today, the entire factory has been redesigned, all the garbage has been cleaned up, the exterior walls of the factory are repainted, the broken ground is repaired into cement surfaces, and there are still workers walking around in groups of three or three, which makes the place angry again.
After entering the factory, Qian Weichen, Wen Hongjun, Du Wei and An Wei were all there. When they saw Li Rui coming, they all came over to say hello.
Li Rui said: Lao Qian, what are you asking for me?
Qian Weichen pointed at the operating table in front: Look.
Li Rui went over and saw that there were many components placed on a large plastic board, and the middle was connected by wires.
He said in confusion: What is this?
Qian Weichen said: This is a mobile phone.
Li Rui was speechless on the phone, Lao Qian, are you fooling me?
Wen Hongjun smiled and said: Boss, this is indeed a mobile phone, which can make phone calls, send text messages, and take photos!
Li Rui suddenly realized.
These components in front of you are just not assembled into the phone case, but actually have all the functions of the phone!
Li Rui asked carefully: Can you really make a phone call?
Of course, I can try it for you. Wen Hongjun picked up a transparent glass-like screen and clicked it on it a few times.
Li Rui's cell phone rang.
Li Rui walked to the distance and pressed the switch button.
Wen Hongjun came over there to a component that looked like a speaker: Hello, boss, how about our mobile phone?
His voice came into Li Rui's ears clearly.
Li Rui was happy: You guys assembled their phones so quickly!
Qian Weichen said: Just combine the components that can be found so that any college student who has studied electronics for a few days can do it.
Wen Hongjun added: These electronic devices are products found by Mr. Du in the past few days in the electronics factories in Lin'an, Gusu and several other cities. We assemble one according to the best performance to do experiments. At present, it is still a very basic stage and is still far from your design concept.
Li Rui nodded and said: It is already very good to have such progress in the past few days. Lao Du, you have to go more in the future. The price can be negotiated, but the quality and quantity of the supply must be guaranteed! If we want to make the best mobile phones on the market, the supply of parts is the top priority for whether we can guarantee the subsequent development. Your task is very arduous!
Du Weiguo nodded and said: Boss, I will go to Baodao tonight to discuss the supply of shells and PCB motherboards with Boss Guo. I will go to Chaodao to meet Korean Star and LG people tomorrow, and go back to China on Thursday to meet BOE, Lan Si, Sunny, BYD and Tianbao people. Next week I will go to Qualcomm to discuss the supply of CPU and basebands.
Li Ruidao: If necessary, you can order money in advance. Money is not a problem. The most important thing is to prepare enough production capacity!
Du Weiguo was stunned: But our product has not yet been slapped.
Boss, there is no need to be so anxious. Our prototype has not been designed yet, and we are too eager to order now. Wen Hongjun also persuaded that the smartphone market in the second half of this year has not ushered in the big explosion as imagined. The supply of components is slightly better than expected, and the price may have room for decline next year.
Li Rui smiled and shook his head and said: First, I have confidence. Second, I don’t want to take risks. I can accept failures in design, manufacturing and sales, but if it fails due to insufficient supply, I will definitely not tolerate it!
In her previous life, Xiao Mi was considered to be playing with a monkey due to insufficient supply, and Hammer was even more sluggish because of supply problems. As for the years when Hua Wei was pinched with her neck, it was a painful memory that Li Rui was unwilling to recall.
He would rather take a risk than repeat the same mistake!
Boss, are you so confident? Qian Weichen smiled bitterly. Even in the heyday of Moji, he would not dare to do this.
Li Ruidao: Times are different.
In the era of Noji and Moji, the difference in the hardware functions of mobile phones was not very different, and the design and shape were more important.
The current era is completely different. Hardware determines the lower limit and software determines the upper limit. When software can only choose Android systems, the choice of hardware is very important.
Especially for hardware with excellent performance, as many brands enter the mobile phone industry in the future, they will become increasingly in short supply. Only by taking the initiative to grab the share can we ensure a long-term supply chain in the future.
Although everyone thought Li Rui's approach was a bit reckless, Li Rui was the boss and they could only let it go.
Li Rui looked back at the hardware again.
He vaguely remembered the configuration of Xiaomi m1. The first mobile phone launched by Xingrui decided to adopt the same configuration of Xiaomi, the same price and the same marketing method, and take the path of Xiaomi's success, leaving Xiaomi with no way out.
Qian Weichen explained the hardware to Li Rui and told him that it was very simple to assemble a mobile phone, but this was just a design idea. It would be a long process to really assemble these parts into a small mobile phone case.
Then there is the writing system, debugging hardware, developing functions, etc., which is not something that Li Rui can understand.
However, Qian Weichen also said that because of Li Rui's very clear design ideas and hardware requirements, it reduces a lot of workload and adaptation processes and saves a lot of time.
We strive to determine the basic hardware configuration before the Spring Festival. Qian Weichen said that the first engineering machine will be assembled.
So fast? Li Rui was a little surprised, which exceeded his expectations.
Qian Weichen said again: And we have already agreed that we will not rest during the Spring Festival, and turn the engineering machine into a prototype as soon as possible!
Thank you for your hard work! If you work overtime during the Spring Festival, all salary will be paid at five times. Li Ruidao.
Qian Weichen smiled and said: We are not for money. In the assembly process, I found the happiness I used to be in the past few days, as if I was back when I first entered Moji. Everyone is the same, very tired and happy. For us, how much money we make is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that we still have dreams to pursue at this age!
Li Rui empathized with it.
After he was forty in his previous life, he didn't like drinking, nor smoke, nor fishing, nor off-roading, nor play games or watch TV, and liked beauties who were willing but not brave, and wanted to indulge without anyone to accompany him. It was like being castrated and all his interests were castrated.
