Pengcheng, Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.
During the annual vacation, the company was still operating normally, and Lu Zixin was naturally not stingy with the salary subsidies he deserved. Moreover, on New Year's Eve, all employees were given red envelopes based on their positions.
Therefore, the company's work progress has not fallen behind. When Lu Zixin arrived at the company, Tang Gang had already taken out the prototype of the Hongxin mobile phone.
There is a five-inch screen prototype on the desktop of Lu Zixin's office.
The wild dark gray back, smooth curves and smooth body provide a comfortable grip. Ultra-narrow bezels, symmetrical and comfortable appearance, and a somewhat tough-colored screen. The fingerprint sensor is almost parallel to the back panel and looks across the screen.
On the back of the mobile phone, there is also a red logo of Hongxin Company, which is full of technological beauty.
Tang Gang looked a little haggard. He hadn't slept well in the past few years because he was busy with these things. However, his mood was not depressed, but he was very excited.
"Mr. Lu, this prototype is already the final version of our modified HX1 (Red Letter 1) mobile phone." Tang Gang introduced.
"The core is our Red Core first-generation processor, paired with 6GB of running memory. Dual cameras with optical zoom, up to 12 million pixels! Low and tweeter speakers, perfect sound quality. The display adopts the top international standards, which is clear and clean."
"Especially for the first time, this phone uses our 'Super Android System', which runs 1.35 times as smoothly as similar phones. Coupled with our powerful Red Core first-generation processor, whether it is a game with high performance requirements or a multi-tasking The software can support it to the maximum extent! It’s smooth and not lagging, it’s a performance monster!”
Tang Gang spoke in one breath without any pause. Lu Zixin sighed with emotion: "Old Tang, you have really worked hard!"
"This is only part of it. The other functions are actually similar to other mobile phones, so I won't mention them." Tang Gang said with a smile.
At present, Hongxin's mobile phones, except for the first-generation Red Core processor and Super Android system, all other hardware are from other manufacturers, so naturally they will not have any advantages in these aspects.
Lu Zixin turned on his phone and began to experience the HX1 phone.
The startup screen is an animation with the unique logo of Hongxin Company, which is quite interesting. After turning on the phone, the background is a sea of stars, dotted with mobile apps.
Tang Gang said: "These desktop screens and system settings are actually designs made by Wangtang before. Unfortunately, the performance of our mobile phones was too poor at that time, so these designs were wasted, but we can use them now."
"It's okay." Lu Zixin commented that this prototype is equipped with many popular mobile apps on the market.
Lu Zixin tried the camera, music, video, games and other functions, and they were all pretty good. By domestic standards, it is already a high-end smartphone performance.
Lu Zixin played with it for a long time and found some shortcomings, "I feel there is still a gap compared to some high-end brands in terms of camera function."
Tang Gang said helplessly: "There is really no way around this. Just a small camera involves so many technical patents! It is basically in the hands of the United States, island countries and other countries, and we ourselves cannot reach their level."
"We still need to work hard! In the future, we at Hongxin will have to break through these problems!" Lu Zixin said, "Now we only have our own chips and running programs, but in the future, whether it is cameras, screen manufacturing processes, various sensors, batteries In other aspects, you must have your own technology!”
Tang Gang was a little surprised when he heard what he said. Lu Zixin's words fully illustrate his ambition. What he wants to do is not just a seller of mobile phones of a single brand, but a manufacturer of all aspects of technology. This level of difficulty is simply unbelievable!
But thinking about the chips independently developed by Red Core, a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart. Maybe, one day
"How is the production situation?" Lu Zixin asked.
Tang Gang came to his senses and said: "For the first Hongxin mobile phone, we have prepared three screen sizes and corresponding 64G, 128G and 256G versions. There are no 16G and 32G versions."
Hongxin mobile phones have canceled the commonly used 16G version and 32G version, because Hongxin did not intend to be in the mass market like other mobile phones from the beginning, but directly entered the mid-to-high-end smartphone market. And to support super Android system, too small memory will affect the performance of the phone.
"Currently, 100,000 finished machines have been produced, and more than 200,000 units will be produced in the next month."
Lu Zixin said in surprise: "Why are there so few?"
Tang Gang smiled bitterly and said: "This is already the maximum production capacity we can achieve now. First of all, our chip technology needs to be manufactured by ourselves. Various accessories are also additional urgent orders from the foundry. But the biggest problem is that we Even if we have money, no one will do it for us!”
"Mr. Lu, you have high quality requirements for our Hongxin mobile phones, so we can only find big manufacturers, such as Fukang. But the orders from these big manufacturers have been arranged, and they have priorities for making orders. We have arranged No, it’s good to be able to produce so much. Now, companies like OP and Huawei have problems with insufficient production capacity. Otherwise, Rice wouldn’t engage in so-called ‘hunger marketing’.”
The issue of production capacity cannot be improved simply by thinking about it. Due to constraints from factories, processes, markets, etc., no one knows how well a mobile phone will be sold before it is released, so there won’t be too much inventory.
Generally, large companies will invest in some factories and upstream raw material and parts suppliers to improve their production capacity and adaptability. When Hongxin has enough strength, he will do the same.
Lu Zixin handled these matters one by one and made adjustments and arrangements.
Two days later, Hongxin Electronics announced the latest news. The HX1 (Red Letter 1) mobile phone will be released on the 1st of next month. The HX1 mobile phone launch conference will be held at the Pengcheng Technology Convention and Exhibition Center on the 15th of this month!
In recent days, the news media has been full of news about the Chinese New Year.
As soon as the news about Hongxin came out, and with the money spent on publicity, words about Hongxin mobile phones appeared in major media. The "Billion Gambling Game" was also mentioned again.
Media: "The Hongxin mobile phone that has been hyped for two months is finally coming out. What does it look like?"
"The 'Billion Gambling' is officially open. Who will win?"
"On the 15th, there is a Hongxin mobile phone launch conference. Another domestic mobile phone brand is released. Do you want to use it?"
"Tian Xiangjun: Rice will be the final winner!"
Netizens also focused their attention on the Hongxin mobile phone launch conference and wanted to know what is so special about this Redxin mobile phone that has been advertised for nearly two months.
On the 15th, the Hongxin mobile phone launch conference is finally about to begin. This time they invited many colleagues in the mobile phone industry and media workers. The host of the conference was Tang Gang.
Lu Zixin was also at the press conference, but he was sitting in the back row and did not appear in the photo.
