Chapter 359 Attacking Foxconn
"Hey, why is there no one in this office? Where did Chen Jie go again..."
A brisk voice suddenly came from the corridor outside the office. Director Zhang walked over with big strides, followed by a middle-aged man of similar age, looking around the surrounding environment.
When Chen Weidong heard the movement outside, he immediately stood up and walked out, and opened the office door.
"Xiao Chen, are you the only two of you here? Let me introduce to you. This is Director Li who just came from Lake Blues last month. He is in charge of..." As soon as Director Zhang walked to Chen Weidong's office door, he began to introduce the middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Weidong up and down, then laughed and said, "Haha, you are the president of Infinity Company, Mr. Chen Weidong, right? He is indeed young and promising!"
"And this one, Miss Li, is indeed born with beauty, and he is a perfect match with Boss Chen!"
Li Xier smiled, stretched out her hand generously, and shook hands with him.
Chen Weidong also smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "It's so hot, two leaders, come in and sit down. I'm really troubled you to have a trip."
South China has a subtropical climate. Now in September, the temperature is around 35 degrees every day. Director Zhang and the middle-aged man entered the air-conditioned office and suddenly felt cool all over.
"Well, Xiao Chen, Director Li and I were so excited that we had no intention of having a meeting after hearing what you said. Tell us what project it is?" Director Zhang asked in a hurry as soon as he sat down on the sofa.
Although the two are very different in age, there are not many people who can call Chen Weidong "Xiao Chen".
With the rise of the behemoth of Infinity Company, Chen Weidong's status has grown day by day. "Mr. Chen" is his main title, and "Mr. Chen" is his international friend's name.
Only Director Zhang and others can call Chen Weidong "Little Chen" as an elder.
From knowing each other, to working in close cooperation, and then having differences, mediating and cooperating again...
For six or seven years, the relationship between the two has been complicated, sometimes as close as a family, sometimes with clear boundaries, but it is undeniable that Director Zhang has indeed given Infinity Company a lot of support.
At the same time, he also created a very good business environment for private enterprises.
This is also an important factor in the rapid development of the economy in South China.
Chen Weidong didn't keep it a secret, and took two more smartphone prototypes from his desk, handed them to Director Zhang and the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "This is the latest product of our company, you can take a look."
"We are confident that we will completely replace the functional mobile phones on the market in the next ten years."
"Huh? Such a delicate thing is actually a mobile phone? Why don't there be a button on it? How to operate this?" Director Zhang and the middle-aged man both widened their eyes, held it carefully, flipped and looked at it constantly, and only three raised buttons were found on the side.
"Haha, this is a smartphone, which is different from traditional phones. All its operations are done by touching this OLED screen."
Chen Weidong held a prototype and demonstrated in front of the two of them.
There are not many software installed on these prototypes now. In addition to basic mobile phone functions, there are also several mini games for internal testing, and their operation methods are very simple.
For example, Chen Weidong clicked on a small game called cutting fruit.
While playing the game, various fruits will appear on the screen from top to bottom.
At the same time, players need to slim the screen to chop it up at agility speed. If the hand speed is too slow, they will miss some fruits. The more fruits are chopped in each level, the more points the player will get.
“This involves multi-touch technology…”
While explaining the operation method, Chen Weidong expanded the topic.
As a rebirth, no one knows the future market trends better than him.
Next, he focused on the economic value that the application software on smartphones will generate.
Because one of the biggest features of a smartphone is that it can install third-party applications.
These applications can provide a variety of features such as games, maps, entertainment, navigation, news, weather forecasts, and more.
With these applications, the functions of smartphones will be greatly expanded, allowing the phone to be no longer limited to a single "communication".
Including the software department of Infinity companies, some PC software on computers will be ported to mobile phones in the future. At that time, instant messaging, word processing, online shopping, etc. can be carried out through mobile phones.
To some extent, a smartphone is more like a desktop microcomputer...
Director Zhang and the middle-aged man were fascinated by the hearing.
In the past, they never thought that a small mobile phone could have such a large economic market, besides making phone calls and sending text messages, was incredible!
Both of them are from science, so it is natural to see that what Chen Weidong said is very likely to be achieved.
In addition, they also saw that this smartphone integrates core technologies in a number of high-tech fields such as communications, chips, advanced manufacturing, information technology, data security, and artificial intelligence.
These are the areas in which countries around the world will compete in the future.
"According to your opinion, this industry is indeed quite large. The total shipment volume of major mobile phone manufacturers around the world is about 500 million to 800 million units per year. Even if you only eat half of the market, it is unimaginable!"
Director Zhang and the middle-aged man calculated the huge economic benefits after just a little thought.
After Chen Weidong's explanation and personally experiencing the powerful performance of this phone, they have no doubt at all that once this phone is launched, it will have a great impact on the original mobile phone market.
Director Zhang himself used a Nokia 3220 phone. He felt it was pretty good some time ago, but now compared with the smartphone of Infinity Company, it is simply too backward.
No one can resist the temptation of high-tech products.
But as a city planner, he cannot use simple technical thinking to measure the market economy.
Currently, the largest manufacturing factory in South China is Foxconn, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Group.
There are more than 200,000 front-line employees.
They mainly help HP, Dell, Nokia, Motorola and other companies engage in component, module production and 3C product finished product assembly.
The impact of this smartphone from Infinity Company on the mobile phone market is no less than a revolution. It is not an exaggeration to say that it will cause a devastating blow to the three mobile phone giants.
At that time, Foxconn will inevitably be affected, with a large number of layoffs, unemployment and other issues, which need to be considered...
Seeing that they all suddenly stopped talking, and there was an intriguing expression on their faces. He probably guessed what they were worried about. He took a sip of tea and asked:
Chapter completed!
