Chapter 239 5 billion gamble, mobile phone spokesperson(1/4)
"Boss, how are these engineering machines allocated?" Zhu Changlin was full of expectations.
The managers of several other departments also had their eyes shining brightly.
The previous prototype was doubled to only 60 units, and three departments had one share, which is not much at all.
Nowadays, a thousand engineering machines can be produced directly, and the scale has increased.
Wang Yi thought for a while: "The hardware department has 500 units for professional and complete testing. The software department has 300 units for system adaptation, development, and testing. The imaging department has 100 units for optical tuning, beautification algorithm development, and testing. The rest
One hundred units, we will make flexible arrangements according to the situation!"
For example, the development teams of X chat and "Defend Yuzu" in Jeju need to provide 20 units for development and adaptation.
Although Android 0 is compatible with Android 2 software, you still need to specifically adapt it to Android 0 and high-resolution screens to have a better experience.
After all, it is our own software, so of course we must achieve the best adaptation.
“The chairman is wise!”
Several people are very happy. They have been assigned so many engineering machines, and they will have no pressure whether it is testing or development.
Yang Yan, in particular, was full of excitement: "With 300 engineering machines, our system adaptation progress can be greatly accelerated!"
"The same goes for our imaging algorithm department!" Bai Xizheng said with a smile.
Bai Xizheng is the optical algorithm expert hired by Wang Yi with a high salary, and is also the head of Xingyi's mobile imaging algorithm department.
Currently, there are three major departments of Xingyi Mobile: Zhu Changlin is responsible for the hardware, Yang Yan is responsible for the system software, and Bai Xizheng is responsible for the optical imaging algorithm + beauty algorithm.
"Okay, Lao Bai, your department is making the slowest progress right now. Next, I'll keep an eye on you!"
Wang Yi patted Bai Xizheng on the shoulder.
Bai Xizheng nodded: "Welcome Chairman to guide the work."
"Let's go."
After dividing the mobile phones, Wang Yi went straight to the optical imaging department.
With the support of Sony's technical team, the optical algorithm tuning of Xingyi mobile phone is progressing smoothly.
They are all Sony's flagship lenses. Sony's technical team has provided technical support to other brands many times, so they are very familiar with them.
But the beauty algorithm required by Wang Yi is difficult.
Even though Wang Yi initially taught the imaging department how to do beautification, their progress was slow.
After all, the beauty algorithm is a new thing that has never appeared before, so it starts from scratch.
In any field, going from 1 to 100 is easy, but going from 0 to 1 is the hardest!
In desperation, Wang Yi could only go out in person and teach and guide him step by step!
When he came to the imaging department, Wang Yi seemed to have returned to his previous life as a coder, transforming into a product manager and leading the entire algorithm team to develop beauty algorithms.
Fortunately, in his previous life, when Wang Yi was drifting to the north, he worked at the Imperial City R&D headquarters of a certain mobile phone, so he was fairly familiar with the field of beauty algorithms.
Although it is not cutting-edge, it is enough for the current situation.
It's just that the beauty algorithm is very complicated, and Wang Yi can't handle it all by himself.
We can only bring the entire algorithm department together to teach everyone the development ideas, directions, and strategies.
Just like the previous development of the Meiyou app and "Defend Youzi", Wang Yi personally led everyone to develop it for a few days, and the team almost learned the lesson.
Once the method is learned, the rest is hard work, in-depth development, and gradual adjustment.
In addition, the algorithm department recruits top talents in the industry. Even the grassroots employees of the department are all top five academics, either provincial champion or city champion. Their learning ability is very outstanding.
Wang Yi understands everything and can even draw inferences from one instance.
This greatly improves the efficiency of the entire department and greatly speeds up the progress of beauty algorithms.
At the same time, another strategic meeting was held in the imperial capital.
Several directors spoke one after another:
"Old Qin, the matter discussed today is to build a chip factory for Wang Yi. Do you think Wang Yi can really build a wafer factory?"
"Yes, Lao Qin, a wafer factory is not a trivial matter. A twelve-inch wafer factory requires an investment of 3 billion in the construction of hardware facilities alone, plus 5 billion in land. The later investment will be at least 15 billion to start!
Can he really do it?"
"We paid for the three billion yuan in the early stage of the wafer fab, which is not a small amount of money. If Wang Yi really does it, let alone three billion, even five billion will be fine. We are willing to support entrepreneurs who are practical. But if he
If you don’t do it right, just collect money, run away, and leave a lot of chicken feathers, the loss will be huge!”
Listening to everyone's questioning words, Director Qin took a deep breath:
"I have studied this issue carefully. If it were someone else, it might be just to make money. But Wang Yi is definitely not the case. He is different from those people. Wang Yi is a hard worker, not the type who just messes around!"
Hearing this, the entire conference room fell into silence and made no comment.
Wang Yi started too quickly, but he was still a student after all, so everyone was skeptical.
There is no way, local investment promotion has been cheated too many times.
Provincial capitals and second-tier cities have been scammed countless times, let alone the imperial capital.
So much so that now we are both proactive and cautious about attracting investment.
I want to attract large-scale investment and introduce big projects, but I am afraid that the other party will not be pragmatic, make mistakes, make money and run away, leaving a lot of chicken feathers for the local government to deal with.
That would be too passive.
Even Director Qin's attitude toward Wang Yi ranged from doubtful to hesitant. It wasn't until he saw that Xingyi's mobile phone was really good that he began to completely trust him!
Only then did I believe that Wang Yi was a hard-working type.
Seeing that everyone still didn't believe it, Director Qin continued:
"If it's to make money, Wang Yi doesn't need to do this at all. Do you know how much money Meiyou makes now? The revenue is 300 million a day!"
"So high?" Everyone was shocked. They thought Meiyou would make money, but they didn't expect it to be this high.
"That's right, it's that high!" Director Qin said: "Meiyou clothing + beauty makeup + games, with dual development at home and abroad, the revenue is so high."
However, some people question:
"But can this kind of glory last forever? Is Meiyou's clothing severely out of stock? One-third of its current revenue depends on the bare-legged artifact, right?"
"Obviously, the bare-leg artifact will not always be a hot seller. Also, "Defend Yuzu" is also a stand-alone game. Once the users reach a bottleneck, it will also decline, right?"
Director Qin nodded: "Yes, Director Yang's concerns are justified. Let's assume that in the future, Meiyou Group's revenue will drop by half, and there will still be 600-700 million in revenue every day. Plus Meiyou's profit
The profit rate is high, even after the revenue is cut in half, the daily profit is 100 million! Is Wang Yi short of money?"
"This..." Everyone was silent.
There’s really no shortage of money!
"More importantly, the Xingyi mobile phone is not yet available. Once the Xingyi mobile phone is available, Meiyou's revenue and profits will surge again. To put it bluntly, even if the clothing field declines, Meiyou still has the mobile phone field!"
"Wang Yizhi is only nineteen years old, and he has already made money like this. Does he deserve to be involved in chip fraud?"
"This..." Everyone was silent again.
But some people still question: "Mobile phones are not easy to make, and they cost a lot of money. Not only do they make money, but they also lose money!"
Director Qin smiled and took out Xingyi's phone:
"This is the Xingyi mobile phone developed by Wang Yi. Although it is only a prototype, I have used it for a while and it feels very good. Try it for yourself."
Afterwards, Director Qin handed the phone to Director Yang, who had the most serious doubts.
Director Yang took the phone, looked at the appearance, and tried the feel:
"The appearance design is quite good, it has great texture and feels good in the hand. I have always been an upright person. Although I question Wang Yi's chip production, I have one thing to say. If the appearance of the iPhone 4S is 80 points, I will give the Xingyi phone 95 points!"
Everyone nodded: "This appearance is indeed better than the iPhone, better than the Samsung flagship, it is considered top-notch."
"That's right, the Xingyi mobile phone looks great on the outside, but I don't know what it's like on the inside!"
Director Yang said, lighting up the screen and frowning slightly: "Such a big screen, but so clear and bright? Something's wrong!"
Director Qin smiled: "Most other mobile phones nowadays have low-resolution screens of 480p. Wang Yi's Xingyi mobile phone uses a high-resolution screen of 720p. The display effect, fineness, etc., all crush the iPhone and Samsung flagships.
"
"I see, Wang Yi is good at doing business. Just because of the appearance and screen, most consumers can't move their legs."
Director Yang was filled with emotion: "But it's hard to say whether it will jam or not when using it."
After finishing speaking, he swiped the screen, a little surprised: "So smooth?"
Then I opened several software and started them in seconds: "The startup speed is so fast! The system is very smooth!"
I opened the downloaded game again and tested it: "Playing games is very smooth and it doesn't get very hot. I opened several software at the same time and there was no lag. This phone has some tricks up its sleeve."
When Director Yang turned on the camera, he curled his lips and said, "This camera is not very clear. It can't compare with iPhone or Samsung. It takes 50 points."
Director Qin was speechless: "Lao Yang, that's the front-end of yours! I used it last time and forgot to adjust it back."
"Front-end?" Director Yang was confused. He took a closer look: "It's really front-end!"
