1991 Starting from the core

Zhu Yuanxin's words were so straightforward that Su Yuanshan couldn't figure out whether he wanted to flatter himself or something...

But when it comes to the future popular direction, Su Yuanshan is still somewhat sure. After all, aesthetics is not very affected by the butterfly effect. And as early as two years ago, he made a plan to adopt the classic straight line for mobile phones, but now it is just more focused and segmented.

So Su Yuanshan simply looked at it seriously.

Zhu Yuanxin was also following Su Yuanshan's gaze to figure out the boss's thoughts - what he said just now was not really to flatter Su Yuanshan, but to elaborate on the most basic fact.

Yuanxin is now very large. Although the design center is nominally an important department with an independent science and technology industrial park, and is located in a key geographical area such as the capital, its voice is far inferior to that of several other science and technology parks. .

Not to mention the headquarters in the provincial capital, Mr. Xi, the chief scientist, is there...

Not to mention the Shanghai Science and Technology Park, which is run by Li Mingliu, one of the five giants of the Yuanxin Academy of Sciences, and is next to a wafer fab. The importance can be imagined.

The only thing that can compare with the Design Center Technology Park is the Internet Center in the Special Administrative Region.

But the Internet Center... Mr. Shan's office is right there - coincidentally, Mr. Chen's office is here in the design center.

The two bosses squatted in separate places, one in the south and the other in the north. It was hard to say that there was no tacit understanding between them.

Zhu Yuanxin's understanding is very simple. In order to improve the status of the design center, in addition to achieving excellent results, we must not offend the boss.

As for Mr. Chen...according to his subtle observations, Mr. Chen almost obeyed Mr. Shan.

Zhu Yuanxin saw Su Yuanshan flipping through the design drawings and making marks on them with a pen.

As a product designer, Zhu Yuanxin has excellent summarizing skills. He summed up Su Yuanshan's preferences very keenly...

"The screen is bigger, the body is thinner, and the appearance is more fashionable. You can adopt... Huh? This one is good, who drew it?"

Su Yuanshan turned to the last page and suddenly discovered a "Nokia 3210" - it may not be the same, but overall it is very similar to the 3210 that sold hundreds of millions of units in the global market.

Zhu Yuanxin was startled. Seeing that Su Yuanshan could actually praise this one, he became a little embarrassed: "I designed it before... I brought it here to make up the numbers."

"Make up the numbers?" Su Yuanshan couldn't help but said dumbly: "Lao Zhu, don't lie to me. This design should be beautiful. Why didn't you adopt it?"

"The main reason is that the screen is too big and the cost is too high."

"..." Su Yuanshan looked at this almost 1.5-inch screen - no matter where you look at it, it can't be called "big".

Of course, it is indeed much larger than the current mainstream screens.

"Actually, this is also a smaller version of the concept phone we launched before, but the concept phone can be used without considering the cost, but the mass-produced model launched on the market cannot... So even Mr. Duan and I think this design is okay, but when we can get it It’s best to put it on hold before getting to low-cost LCD panels.”

Su Yuanshan nodded to express his understanding.

Yuanxin launched a concept phone at the end of last year. Its functions focus on the future development of mobile Internet and business mobile phones - to put it bluntly, it is to adapt a test platform for Yuanxin's operating system team. So it wasn't even released, it was just used by a few Yuanxin big guys.

For example, Chen Jing has been using this one, occasionally to check emails, read the news and so on. As for Su Yuanshan, he was really not used to using it, so he would rather use a notebook.

Zhu Yuanxin glanced at Su Yuanshan and continued with a smile: "You said you wanted a few special ones this time... so I took them out and made up the number. I thought of going high-end, so I don't have to consider the cost for the time being."

"Well, that's the reason. This time we are mainly going to the western market and directly use the concept to enter the western market." Su Yuanshan pulled out the last design drawing and put it on the top: "You can communicate with Lao Duan and we will Tell me my opinion - and then you immediately go to the engineering design department to see if it can meet the needs. If not, I will go back and urge the operating system team every day to let them directly develop the player program."

After thinking about it, Su Yuanshan added: "And we can't waste such a 'large' display area. We have to add the lyrics function."

"Lyrics function? How do you do that?" Zhu Yuanxin was stunned when he heard it.

"Don't worry about it. That's the field of software development, not yours." Su Yuanshan said with a smile.

Since we want to properly arrange the copyright continuation and experience of online and offline music, we need to provide one-stop service directly and figure out the lyrics format.

Otherwise, how can we show the superiority of MP3 players and MP3 mobile phones?

…

Although it is early winter, the warm sunshine for days does not make people feel too cold, especially when there is no wind.

After dinner in the courtyard, Su Yuanshan and Chen Jing sat on wicker chairs, chatting with hot tea.

"When are you going to leave?" Chen Jing turned her head and looked at Su Yuanshan. The street lights in the courtyard reflected the stars in her eyes.

"Tomorrow, there's nothing going on here." Su Yuanshan squinted slightly, looking up at the stars like an old man: "I plan to go back to the provincial capital to urge the operating system team over there. I have supported them for several years... …It’s time to move.”

Chen Jing was speechless for a while: "Tomorrow is the weekend..."

"Oh? Weekend?" Su Yuanshan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "The hardest thing is that I am so busy that I feel dizzy."

"...So take a rest, you haven't rested since you came back from Silicon Valley." Chen Jing sighed and said: "Don't risk your life just because you are young and in good health - there will be a team from Vienna at the Capital Concert Hall tomorrow. Do you want to go listen to the band’s performance?”

"Concert hall?" Su Yuanshan turned around.

"Well, just relax."

"Uh..." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips. At this moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind. In the end, he shrugged and said with a wry smile: "Sister Jing... I won't lie to you."

"Huh?" Chen Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him doubtfully.

"That's it if it's in front of outsiders, I have to pretend to be knowledgeable and intoxicated to show that I'm very elegant... But in front of you, I'll just say it straight, I don't appreciate music. Might as well listen to some pop songs.”

Su Yuanshan spread his hands and said, "I am a bit vulgar."

"Pfft..." Chen Jing chuckled: "Then you really don't have any hobbies?"

"Hobby... Hey! Does it count if you like watching football? But now I watch football as a cloud audience... Uh... I'm the kind of pseudo-fan who can only listen to gossip. I want to watch the football live. That’s really no time.”

At this time, An Siying came over with a fruit plate. She smiled when she heard this and said: "Mr. Shan, there is a football match in the capital tomorrow, or the Yuanxin team is playing away from home against the capital team..."

"ah?"

"Would you like to go and watch one?" Chen Jing's eyes lit up and she said with great interest.
