Chen Yuanming himself has never used a PDA. When he was in his hometown in his last life, he never touched a PDA or even a mobile phone. Later, he went to Beijing to work as a laborer at the bottom level. When he finally established himself in Zhongguancun, it was already 2002. Before and after things, the storage function of mobile phones is no longer as bad as it was in the 1990s, and naturally it will not consider expensive luxuries such as PDAs.
But he didn't use it, it doesn't mean he didn't know the glory of PDA. In that era of barren mobile devices, as a transitional product, PDA can be regarded as the pioneer of digital products such as smart phones and tablet computers in later generations. I remember that around 2003, when American dramas were emerging in China, the "24 Hours" broadcast on FOX TV made PDA a lot of limelight. Mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, notebook computers, etc., their advanced functions have opened the eyes of most Chinese people who have never been in contact with such products, and have also made Benmai one of the most popular PDA brands in China.
Today, Benmai is still not well-known in the United States, and the truly applicable PDA products have not come out. On the contrary, the pen-tip computer produced by GO Company once attracted the attention of the entire Silicon Valley. , is unmatched by most companies today, with such a strong support, it is a waste not to enter the PDA.
More importantly, PDA can become a powerful product supplement, which can be marketed as soon as possible, recover some scientific research costs, and provide guarantee for further development. Only the commodities that enter the market circulation have the value to tap the potential. This is also the failure of GO. Its technical content exceeded the average level of technology at that time, but the commercial value could not reach the ideal state, which led to the tragedy that the research and development expenses were too high and could not be put into sales, making a company with great potential. finally destroyed.
Although Anxin is much richer than GO, and also has the support of the entire PHS industry, the research and development direction still cannot be sloppy, using strength on the blade, and gradually recovering the cost when investing is the only way to transform scientific research into production.
The words were clear and clear, but Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, "But if it's just something with simple functions that can replace a phone book, would anyone buy it? I'm afraid the price of this thing won't be cheap..."
"It should be." Xiao Junyi on the side said confidently, "It just depends on how to sell it and how to promote it. Just like our PHS, its current price is only 1/5 of that of the big brother. In terms of base station construction It is not inferior to today's mobile communication network, and it can be used in most cities in the north. However, such a product has still not been able to crowd out the sales of mobile phones."
"In my opinion, not only did it not crush the mobile phone, but it made the mobile phone's net worth higher." Xiao Yun also shook his head with a wry smile, "Those big bosses still tend to buy Motorola or Ericsson, even if the supply of these mobile phones is in short supply, they simply buy them. Not in stock, even if their signal is not stronger than PHS on short-distance calls. Although PHS is good and cheap, it is not available for formal occasions... "
Yes, this is the real national condition. For the newly rich generation in China, they have just gotten rid of their identities as mud-legged and petty citizens. They are still seeking to reposition their self-worth and life goals, and they are still worrying about "how to spend money". For these people, ok, not necessarily right. The big brother and high-end electronic products are undoubtedly a sign of their worth. It is their objective demand to spend several times the price to consume those high-end products. Just like in the upper class of Wall Street, you can buy those international famous brands with good quality and low price, but at a cocktail party full of tailor-made suits, you must be an outlier.
"Therefore, as long as it is handled properly, the idea of the electronic notepad is likely to set off a trend." His eyes became brighter, Xiao Junyi looked at the young man sitting next to him, "Increase the value of the product and make this electronic notepad a unique It's a fashion. When a circle of bosses are using high-tech products, my uncle can't handle this kind of broken notebook. Oh, uncle, I'm just making an analogy."
Looking at the uncle and nephew who were fighting, Chen Yuanming smiled and relaxed his shoulders and leaned back on the chair. It's always easier to talk to smart people. With a light cough, he interrupted their laughter, "This is only one of them, the more important thing is to link this electronic notepad with a real computer, so that those who have money but no technological ideas can be connected. People gradually come into contact with computers, get used to computers, and are also accustomed to this kind of electronic technology with simple functions. When this concept gradually becomes popular among the crowd, we will promote our follow-up products, whether it is an upgraded version of electronic notepad, Whether it is a more advanced mobile phone, there will be a lot of convenience.”
"What about the tablet?" Xiao Junyi raised his eyebrows, "Does it follow the same line of thinking, eliminating those complicated functions and focusing on text input and simple drawing."
"That's right." Chen Yuanming nodded in admiration, "and the tablet can be further researched. Now it can only replace the keyboard. In the future, it will always replace the mouse, replace the scanner, replace all external equipment, and become a hand and a computer. A real medium of communication. It's a big trend, and there can't be any slack."
"It's a three for one." Xiao Yun sighed, "Electronic notepad, tablet, mobile phone, there are several more departments in one breath..."
"Maybe there are more derivative products." Chen Yuanming replied firmly, "In the United States, I have just integrated several companies under my command, let them develop in the direction of grouping, and strive to keep up with the trend of the world. But In China, there is no need to catch up like this, our development is still very backward, and this backwardness is not only due to national conditions, but also mentality. Therefore, alternative products not only have the value of research and development, but can even occupy the market for a long time. The market. And the lead occupies this secondary market, and when we launch higher-end products, market share and consumption habits will also be by our side.”
This is actually the key difficulty in developing high-tech in China. The demand is not so high, and the research and development efforts will naturally be slack, and copying foreign products is enough to meet the needs of the Chinese people. However, when they go abroad, these products become uncompetitive waste products, or are stuck in the neck by patent rights, lacking core competitiveness. The electronics market is not only a corner of China, the international market is the battlefield for companies to fight, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten or twenty years for China to stand on this market and become a big consumer of electronic products like Japan and the United States.
This complex situation requires those technology companies to have a double vision and a fragmented layout. Research and development can never stop. We must strive to keep up with international trends and try our best to approach or occupy the international market. But at the same time, the domestic layout must not be slackened. Excessive products such as VCDs have not been listed in Europe and the United States at all. However, in China, it is estimated that they will still be mainstream players in six or seven years. This is an unimaginably long period of time in the electronic age. A market that is too big to give up.
Therefore, staying competitive is as crucial as occupying the domestic market as soon as possible, and innovation is the foundation of everything. Those simple and easy copycat models are just drinking poison to quench their thirst. When this kind of imitation becomes a trend and the research and development capabilities are completely deprived, China will need to spend a greater price and a longer time if it wants to re-emerge.
But now, they have the existence of an anti-piracy alliance, a patent protection system that has been slowly established, angel investment that allows those geniuses to show their skills, and successful precedents such as Feiyan and Anxin. The Chinese have never lost to anyone in terms of creativity. Just like the two major graphics card brands in Silicon Valley in the future, the two founders of ATI and nVIDIA are both Chinese. If they can stand on the same starting line, it is hard to say who will win. It's very.
"Oh? Feiyan has changed its strategic model." Keenly heard the hidden meaning of Chen Yuanming's words, Xiao Junyi smiled slightly, "It seems that we will have more opportunities to learn from you in the future, are we the best? What about building a studio in Silicon Valley too?”
"It's hard to say..." Chen Yuanming thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "Anxin's background is too sensitive, and the attitude of the United States is still difficult to predict. However, the technical exchange with Feiyan is not a serious problem, there is a blockade, There should be the same breakthrough point. But for now, let's focus on the development of new products..."
"Isn't the name Electronic Notepad a bit outdated?" Xiao Yun touched his chin, "Since the target consumer group is those big bosses, there should be a higher-level name."
"The product category is called handheld computer, of course, this is also the direction of its future development. As for the brand name..." Chen Yuanming smiled, "It's better to use a name such as Business Link to highlight its business value. The pen input function, there are not many domestic manufacturers that can imitate this thing, and it is not a problem to go back and come up with an English and Japanese system, and sell it overseas."
The three of them talked more and more, and finally made a general plan around the functions of this handheld computer, loading calculators, address books, schedule management combined with calendars, notebooks operated by pen input, and recording equipment. The terminal can be connected to a computer to expand the storage space as much as possible, and it can basically meet most applications in business. As for games and other features, further development remains to be done.
Since the content of the discussion was quite cumbersome, it took more than half an hour to discuss the preliminary planning of the handheld computer. Xiao Yun just wanted to say something, Xiao Junyi raised his eyebrows, "Uncle, can the business be finished in one day? Let's take a break. Take a break, it's not for them to let their cattle graze."
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "Why, are you tired of the third young master? Okay, anyway, I can't figure it out in a day, let's talk later, let's go have a meal first. Today, I invite Yuanming this time. You can't push it any more!"
Just as Chen Yuanming was about to say something, Xiao Junyi curled his lips first, "Just the way you eat, don't bother today, I guess Yuanming hasn't slept yet..."
"What?" Xiao Yun glanced at the wall clock on the wall of the conference room in surprise, "It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, how could it be..."
"There are only a few international flights, you can guess if you can." Xiao Junyi stood up, picked up some documents on the table and put them in the briefcase, smiled at Chen Yuanming, "I told Xiao Song just now, Let him go to the chef below to arrange afternoon tea. You can put your stomach on it first, and then go home and sleep at ease. Put these materials in your office, and it will not be too late to look at it when you go back to work. "
The other party's attitude was too calm and straightforward, Chen Yuanming shook his head slightly, and then showed a slight smile, "Thank you so much..."
"Why are you being polite to me?" Anyway, Xiao Junyi didn't seem to be polite at all, and he picked up Chen Yuanming's coat hanging on the hanger. "The chef is on the first floor, haven't you been there yet? Come with me."
Completely left behind by his nephew, Xiao Yun looked at the back of the two with a little embarrassment, and suddenly felt that something was not right...
There is a special elevator on the top floor, and it will take you to the first floor in a while. Xiao Junyi took Chen Yuanming into a rather simple private room with a few small plates and a steaming porridge on the table. When I got closer, I saw that the porridge was made of japonica rice and lotus seeds, and there were several Cantonese-style refreshments on the plate. The portion was not large, but it was very delicate.
"How is it, does it suit your taste?" Xiao Junyi handed the clothes and bag to Chen Yuanming's driver, but did not intend to sit down.
"Very good." After hesitating for a while, Chen Yuanming answered honestly. He liked all these things very much. After getting off the plane, he didn't have a serious meal. Now is the time when his stomach is empty.
"Just like it." Xiao Junyi's expression was very light, but there was a smile in his eyes, "Are you still free in the next few days? Mom always told you to come to the house for a sit, it's a good time. old age."
"Brother Xiao also told me about it." Chen Yuanming smiled and sat down at the dining table, "How about this Saturday? I have to deal with some personal matters tomorrow and the next two days..."
"It's good for you." The smile on Xiao Junyi's mouth became a little thicker, "Eat it quickly, and let Xiao Song take you home after eating, and have a good sleep. I have something to talk about with my uncle, so I won't accompany you. is you."
After speaking, he patted Chen Yuanming's shoulder lightly, turned around and walked out of the room briskly. There was only Chen Yuanming left in the small private room. He was stunned for a few seconds at the disappearing back. He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.
