The so-called high-end cameras are thin and light, have good imaging effects and have a low failure rate.
The most important difference is the thinness and lightness, otherwise the imaging standards of most cameras will not actually make much difference.
Xiao Qi did not mention the price reduction in the future, but he followed up with a request, that is, he hoped that Ricoh Co., Ltd. could develop a thinner and lighter camera, and Xiao Qi could sponsor part, or even half, of the research and development funds.
This is what Apple did in the first place.
Are you technically incompetent?
It doesn't matter, I'll give you the money, you can just find the most high-tech talents to develop it, anyway, I want this standard thing!
On the surface, it seems that these manufacturers have taken advantage, but in fact, Apple, which uses these finished products in its own products, is the biggest winner.
Because, have you ever seen parts manufacturers make more money than finished product manufacturers?
Ricoh naturally accepted the money sent to him. For this reason, Ricoh's representative and president Nobumo Tsuchiya kindly reminded Xiao Qi: "Mr. Xiao, the e-book market is not easy to do today.
You must make a good plan when it comes to selling price!”
Xiao Qi was stunned when he heard this.
e-book?
Hearing this familiar vocabulary, Xiao Qi didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it, he realized that Nobushige Tsuchiya was talking about the development of personal PDA - e-reader.
Speaking of e-readers, they really don’t have many functions. They were originally launched by Amazon.
This e-reader, which is slightly smaller than the IPAD, can basically only read books and listen to music at most, which is its main purpose. However, the price is not cheap.
For more mainstream products, Amazon's Kindle is US$568 and Sony's PRS is US$490.
Xiao Qi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Asahi Kasei, Bilda, and Tag Heuer agreed so readily. It turned out that they thought they were going to make e-readers!
If you think about it carefully, software such as CPU, GPU and operating system are all commissioned and developed in the United States. These hardware are only purchased in Japan. They are really similar to e-readers, such as memory, audio, etc.
In the eyes of the Japanese, Hua's companies should have nothing to do with high-tech electronics. After discussions and research, they felt that Xiao Qi's e-reader would not cause harm to Japan's electronics industry, so they responded to Xiao Qi's purchase request.
agree.
It’s no wonder that they are short-sighted. Before Gang Leader Qiao’s IPAD came out, almost everyone felt that tablet computers were a dead end with no way to go.
Almost no one dared to develop tablet computers after the failure of Microsoft, HP and other giants, except for the stubborn and talented Qiao Bangzhu.
But when Gang Leader Qiao achieved unprecedented success, everyone discovered that after breaking the barrier, there was a golden avenue behind it!
Because Xiao Qi's order was a timely help for Nobumo Tsuchiya, so he reminded Xiao Qi that he had to do a good job in marketing in order to hope to avoid failure.
After figuring out the reason, Xiao Qi wanted to laugh a little. E-readers, a short-lived thing, naturally have no way to survive, but if the Japanese are waiting to see their own jokes, they will definitely be the ones who fail in the end.
Own.
Xiao Qi expressed his gratitude to Nobushige Tsuchiya enthusiastically for his reminder, but did not point out Nobushige Tsuchiya's mistake.
Let the Japanese misunderstand it. While they are waiting to see the joke, it is more convenient for them to get the hardware products they want.
With such a mentality adjustment, when Xiao Qi met with the two heads of the lithium battery division of Panasonic and Hitachi, he intentionally or unintentionally brought their thoughts to e-readers.
Regarding Xiao Qi's request for two lithium polymer batteries with a thickness of only 6mm, but a total battery capacity of 6,500 mAh, and a power of 25WHR, both ministers wondered whether they were being teased by Xiao Qi.
"Mr. Xiao, there is no such thin and large-capacity battery in this world." Panasonic's Hetong Shishi shook his head.
"If not, then go and research it. Don't tell me that Japan, which is known as the number one in lithium batteries, and Panasonic and Hitachi are the leaders in Japan, can't make the products that customers want."
Xiao Qi was such a general, making both of them blush.
Especially when this problem comes from the Chinese, whom they have always looked down upon, it makes them even more uncomfortable.
In fact, Xiao Qi is definitely on target. Through some exposures in his previous life, he knows that what Japanese clubs like to do most is to reserve technology. Although the conditions he requires are very harsh, in two years, Gang Leader Qiao will be able to obtain the same technology in Japan.
Batteries that meet the conditions will be able to get thinner and more efficient batteries in another half a year. With such a rapid update, it would be a lie to say that the Japanese do not have strong technical reserves.
According to scientific principles and the habits of the Japanese, this kind of lithium polymer battery that can be mass-produced in two years must have already appeared in the research laboratory at least by now.
What Xiao Qi thought was indeed correct. After just submitting the detailed parameters of the lithium polymer battery he wanted, Feldspar Kawatsuki and Ryohei Natsume of Hitachi exchanged glances in a panic, without leaving any trace.
Both of them were technicians who were promoted to ministers, so it can be seen that the battery designed by Xiao Qi is almost the final version of the latest lithium polymer battery they developed half a year ago, but it needs to be used at the maximum capacity.
It is lower, but the size requirements are slightly higher.
If they didn't have absolute trust in the technicians in their laboratory, they would definitely suspect that someone was secretly selling confidential information.
After a while, Natsume Ryohei slowly said: "To be honest, we have already made progress in this technology in the research laboratory, but the biggest problem is to achieve quantitative production! The environment in the research laboratory,
And the production environment of the factory, those are two different things!"
What he said is true. Many things cannot be put into production immediately after research. There is usually a transformation cycle. In the electronics industry, this cycle is slightly shorter, but it is almost half a year to a year.
between.
"I'll give you three months." Xiao Qi gestured with three fingers, "Anyway, I must see the finished product in the end! If it succeeds, it will be an order for 30 million sets of these batteries, otherwise you will stop calling yourself
Lithium battery ranks first in the world!”
"Won't!"
No matter how much they tried to endure it, they were so provoked by Xiao Qi. Even though they knew it was Xiao Qi's intention, they still couldn't help but refute Xiao Qi's words.
The three of them talked in English before, but now they started talking in Japanese after saying "discourteous". (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
