Chapter 374 After The Excitement, There Was A Bolt From The Blue, And Jobs Was Dumbfounded
After the CEOs of major subsidiaries returned, they immediately took action.
Time is so tight that I can’t help but hurry up.
Each subsidiary has established several team development groups to compete at the same time.
And each development team, after learning that the winning team would receive a cash reward of 100 million yuan, immediately started to get excited.
As the members of each group looked at each other, they could feel the aura of 'hostility'.
Although we are usually very good friends, facing a cash reward of 100 million yuan, at this moment, the boat of friendship is capsized.
after all.
Only one group can win, which means that the other groups will be reduced to running alongside.
The losers get everything except overtime pay.
all of a sudden.
Everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized.
The reward of 100 million yuan is really too tempting.
While Future Group was busy moving its applications to a new home, the outside world was also turbulent.
Biati's side.
After Wang Chuanfu decided to enter the field of smartphones, the company immediately started taking action.
After screening, Biati set his sights on Shanghai Dibit.
Shanghai Dibit Industrial Co., Ltd., established in 1993, is a member company of Baodao Daba Group and one of the designated mobile phone manufacturers recognized by the State Planning Commission.
Before June 2001, Dibit had been working as an OEM for mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola and Dongmenzi. Later, it began to produce its own brand, Dibit, with its flagship product being the mini flip phone 5688.
Due to the reduction of Bluetooth and GPRS functions to reduce costs, as well as the relatively attractive 3 to 5 days of standby time at the time, and the main theme of love, the monthly sales volume reached 700,000 units, and at its best, it ranked first in domestic mobile phone sales. Top three.
However, under the rapid development trend, the company began to have management problems.
In 2004, Dibit's mobile phone business suffered a loss of approximately NT$920 million, and it continued to suffer losses until its closure.
In 2006, Dibit began to withdraw from the market, dealers from various places withdrew, and the remaining ones were just clearing inventory.
BYD set its sights on Dibite. First, Dibite was at the juncture of bankruptcy. Daba Group wanted to get rid of this burden quickly and could keep the acquisition price very low. Secondly, Dibite had experience in making mobile phones. , the mobile phone business department BYI took it over, reorganized and merged it, and you can get started directly.
In addition to discussing the acquisition of Dibit's mobile phone business with Daba Group, the lawsuit between BYD and Futukang has also been the focus of the outside world recently.
Fu Tukang didn't know why he was crazy. During this period, he chased and beat Biati, which gave Wang Chuanfu a headache.
Lu Yi naturally saw the news related to BYD.
Lu Yi is not concerned about BYD's acquisition of Dibit's mobile phone business under Daba Group. What he is concerned about is that BYD is completely entangled by Futukang and will it affect the mobile phone OEM issue.
Blue Star Electronics has already decided the launch and release time of the Pinnacle mobile phone, and there can be no mistakes in any aspect.
If BYD is entangled with Futukang and cannot deliver goods on time and delays the launch, the losses will be heavy.
then.
Lu Yi called Wang Chuanfu.
"Director Lu."
"Mr. Wang, I read in the news that your company has been chased and beaten by Futukang recently, and it has made it very embarrassing. Will it affect the cooperation between us?
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, the Futukang incident will definitely not affect our delivery time. I can guarantee this."
"Mr. Wang, not only the delivery time, but also the quality and quality are guaranteed."
"Yes, yes, you can rest assured, Director Lu. At this stage, our company has raised the cooperation with your company to the company's strategic level, and there will definitely not be any mistakes.
On the phone, Wang Chuanfu kept reassuring Lu Yi.
no way.
It is true that Blue Star Electronics is such an important customer and will affect BYD's future strategic layout.
Even if the delivery time of major international manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola is delayed, he will ensure that the OEM of 2 million units of Pinnacle mobile phones is completed within the specified time.
at the same time.
Across the ocean, North America, Silicon Valley.
Fruit company headquarters.
[Purple] Christie, the project leader, knocked on the door of Jobs’ office.
"Boss, it's successful. We have successfully conquered the capacitive screen multi-touch technology | Christie excitedly ran to Jobs to report.
When Jobs heard the news, he immediately stood up from his boss' chair and said excitedly: "Really?"
"Really!" The person in charge nodded heavily.
Jobs said excitedly: "That's great! Christie, I congratulate your team and thank you for your contribution to the [Purple] Project!"
…Please give me flowers…
The so-called [Purple] project is a mobile phone project being secretly developed by the fruit company.
In late 2004, Christie was developing a software for the Macintosh computer. Scott Foster, then an executive on the Fruit Software team, walked into his office, closed the door and asked Christie if he would like to participate in a secret project code-named "Purple" ——Develop a touch-screen mobile phone with a built-in music player, the predecessor of Ai Crazy.
It has been almost two years since the project was officially approved in early 2005. The [Purple] project has been progressing very rapidly, but it also faces many problems.
And multi-touch is one of them.
Although multi-touch technology has existed for many years, no one has ever used it in consumer electronics, and this technology has been applied to small-size screens and glass materials.
finally.
Today, the problem of multi-touch has been solved.
In the laboratory.
Jobs held a prototype and kept clicking on the screen.
"very good!"
"We really succeeded in cracking this problem! Awesome, boys, well done to you!"
Jobs praised excitedly.
In the process of developing the first generation of Love Crazy, many problems were encountered.
Multi-touch is one of them, and there are also issues like the operating system onboard.
Jobs hoped that Aifeng could be equipped with the Mac's OS-X operating system, but in order for OS-X to run smoothly on the mobile phone chip, the program must be reduced to the original SE.
In order to achieve this goal, engineers had to rewrite the program code, and because no actual usable mobile phone chip had been developed at that time, engineers could only temporarily test the program code through simulation, which was difficult as can be imagined.
From 2005 to now, Fruit has designed three versions of Love Crazy.
During this arduous process, many engineers left the company.
Tony Federer, one of the directors involved in this project, even said that the development of Ai Feng is comparable to the mission of "man's first landing on the moon", with too many unknowns.
However.
Jobs' excitement didn't last long.
Three days later.
A piece of news came like a bolt from the blue, leaving Jobs dumbfounded.
Six patents for multi-touch technology have been applied for!
