Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1548 New Phone

Pei Qian subconsciously looked around for Chang You and Jiang Yuan when he arrived at Otto Technologies.

However, he did not see it.

Pei Qian was a little puzzled. Didn’t they reply that he was coming? Why weren’t the two people in charge here? He did not see Chang You or Jiang Yuan. Instead, a slightly bald and slightly plump middle-aged man walked up to him. “Boss Pei, you’re here! The information is in the conference room. I’ve prepared it. Please come in.”

Pei Qian looked at him and tried hard to recall. He asked uncertainly, “Old Song?”

Old Song smiled. “Yo, Boss Pei, you have a good memory. You remember me?” Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he had not remembered wrongly. Smiling, he said, “Of course. I’ve seen the list of the person-in-charge of all the departments. How can I be wrong?” It was only then that he remembered that Chang You and Jiang Yuan were both in charge. Of course, they were going to experience the lower stratum!

Otto Technologies had also changed its person-in-charge.

This Old Song was an experienced product manager in Shenhua Corporation’s cell phone department. Previously, he was in charge of developing Slow Movement Studio’s Doubt VR glasses. He was a very capable and creative product manager.

Obviously, Chang You was completely worried about Otto Technologies, so he found someone he thought was the safest and most reliable person-in-charge. Pei Qian did not say anything else and followed Old Song to the conference room.

“Boss Pei, I just became the person-in-charge not long ago. I’m not familiar with the business. Please correct me if there are any problems.”

“These two sets of information are Otto Technologies’ new cell phone project and the new smart product project plan.”

“Actually, smart product projects are more conventional. They should not disturb you, but there are some special circumstances in the cell phone project, so I need to ask you.”

Old Song handed the two sets of documents to Pei Qian as he spoke.

Pei Qian took the two sets of documents, leaned back on the sofa, and quickly scanned them.

He would look at his cell phone first since Old Song said that there was a special situation on his cell phone.

Until now, the two flagship cell phones distributed by Otto Technologies were very popular. It was a huge success.

Otto Technologies did not engage in mechanical sea tactics like other cell phone manufacturers. Basically, they only released one cell phone a year. It would definitely be the flagship of the flagship as long as it was released. What’s more, even if the flagship from last year was released this year, the configuration would not be outdated.

Of course, the disadvantage was that it was expensive.

At the moment, he already had E1 and G1 cell phones. The former was more expensive, and the latter was the main game. The response was not bad.

Logically speaking, Pei Qian had to give some suggestions before the new flagship model was developed so that the cell phone would not make money. However, Pei Qian did not ask this year because his shallow understanding of cell phones had been almost overdrawn by the previous two cell phones. It was very difficult to think of new and perfectly loss-incurring ideas.

On the whole, cell phones were becoming more and more homogenous. That was unavoidable because that was the taste and direction of the market.

It was nothing more than a higher screen share, a stronger image system, the performance of the chip kept increasing, the system improved, and so on.

Therefore, according to the original plan, Otto Technologies would continue the two product lines of the E series and G series and launch E2 and G2 cell phones. That was a small modification. On the basis of continuing the previous characteristics, the hardware would be raised to meet the current needs of consumers.

The new product line had not been finalized. He had originally wanted to create a small screen light cell phone for women. However, Jiang Yuan knew very well that Boss Pei had always wanted to be different. On the other hand, even though the small screen light cell phone was also a niche category, it was very difficult to achieve the “different” effect that Boss Pei wanted. Thus, the new product line was still in a planning state, extending all the way to Old Song.

Now, the situation had obviously changed.

Pei Qian flipped through the design plan on his cell phone and frowned immediately.

“Otto X1?”

“Foldable screen!”

Pei Qian was shocked.

That was because in his impression, the soft-screen technology used for foldable cell phones would only mature a few years later. Why was it available now?

However, on further thought, the hardware technology in this world was indeed much ahead. The era of full screen display cell phones had come a few years in advance. The foldable screen technology was also a few years in advance. It was reasonable.

Since it was a new technology, it was definitely not perfect. There must be various problems.

And it would be very expensive.

From a pessimistic point of view, this was indeed an opportunity. However, from an optimistic point of view, this was also a great opportunity to incur losses!

If it was a thick, stupid, and huge folding screen, it would probably not make much money.

Otto Technologies might also have a certain amount of technology accumulation, but it should still be very far from traditional big shots cell phone manufacturers in the cell phone industry. It should not have any obvious advantage in this area.

Pei Qian comforted himself as he opened the design plan for this X1 cell phone.

Then, he was stunned.

This was obviously a rather mature design!

It used a relatively stable internal fold design. The front size of the foldable phone was similar to ordinary cell phones. The single digit hole of the popular face was very high in the screen-to-body ratio. After folding, it was almost seamless and closed. It was very natural. What’s more, it was a cuneiform structure from left to right. The right side was thick and the left was thin. It would be very comfortable to hold it with your right hand after unfolding it. When folding, it would be about the width of the sides. It made up for the shortcomings of the thick foldable screen as much as possible.

This design gave Pei Qian a sense of familiarity.

He knew very well that this was probably the most perfect form of the foldable screen under the current level of technology!

This design did not look complicated. In fact, it could be said to be ordinary. However, precision digital products like cell phones relied on details to win. Pei Qian felt that this design was definitely not something Otto Technologies could create at the moment. He scrolled down. Indeed, this was the latest result of Shenhua’s cell phone department. Especially this hinge structure. It was the only one that had been developed with a huge sum of money.

However, Shenhua’s cell phone department was willing to share this patent result with Otto Technologies.

Whether it was download or cooperation, it was all authorization to use. Of course, Otto Technologies had to show some gratitude. However, no matter what, being willing to sell this thing was already very sincere. It was something that could not be bought with money.

Pei Qian put down the information and looked at Old Song with a complicated expression. The mole had already lit up. Pei Qian could see it even if he was blind.

Old Song quickly waved his hand. “Boss Pei, don’t misunderstand. This is not my credit alone!”

“The main reason is that Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation have always been close. Boss Pei, you have helped them a lot in Slow Movement Studio. That’s why Boss Lin Yu is considering continuing to cooperate deeply with Tengda.” “Otto Technologies’ cell phone department and Shenhua’s cell phone’s business positioning are actually staggered. They do not form a direct competitiveness. Instead, they have a certain complementary effect. That’s why they plan to continue working deeply in this area.”

“I just happened to make it in time. Since I’m the person-in-charge of Otto Technologies, I have to help…”

Pei Qian sniggered inside.

Increase the difficulty of making losses for me again! Shenhua’s foldable screen plan was indeed the most mature plan at the moment. Wouldn’t the cell phone be snatched up if it was really made?

However, Pei Qian was helpless. How could he reject such a good plan?

He could not think of a reason!

Old Song was right. There was indeed no direct competition between Tengda and Shenhua’s cell phone business. Strictly speaking, Otto Technologies’ cell phone did not form a direct competitiveness with all the other cell phone manufacturers in the country.

That was because the other cell phone manufacturers were competing in the low-end market. Those who tried their best to gain a foothold were in the mid-end market. On the other hand, in the high-end market, only Shenhua, Pineapple, and a few other cell phone manufacturers could remain stable. As for Otto Technologies… It was a high-end market.

It was much better than the high-end market!

That was because Otto Technologies took a personalized path. It was a model that was directly targeted at Tengda’s fans and tied a lot of Tengda’s exclusive benefits to the cell phone. It was really different from other cell phone manufacturers.

It was quite difficult to get someone who was used to Otto cell phones to change.

Shenhua’s cell phone department was collaborating with Tengda to snatch the market of other cell phones. It was quite nice. It was not like they could only afford to raise one company in such a huge first market.

What’s more, Tengda had a game project. There was a possibility of deep cooperation with Shenhua Corporation in mobile games and other fields.

Therefore, this cooperation was too f*cking appropriate. There was no reason to reject!

was no re

Pei Qian pondered for a moment. Since there was no reason to reject him, he could only bite the bite.

Find a way to turn opportunity into a crisis! Shenhua’s foldable screen plan was indeed quite mature. Pei Qian could not make any changes to the large framework because that would expose his deliberately messed up attitude.

However, there was no problem with touching some details.

It was precisely the details that determined success or failure. It could also show Boss Pei’s true strength!

After some consideration, Pei Qian said, “There’s no big problem with the plan, but…” “I think we have to make some changes to the details.”

Old Song was a little surprised. “Oh? Please go ahead, Boss Pei.” He did not expect Boss Pei to give his opinion,

That was because this plan was carefully crafted by Shenhua Corporation’s designers. Everyone felt that it was perfect and there was no room for further improvement.

Could Boss Pei give a unique plan from another perspective?

Old Song listened intently, not daring to be negligent.

After all, Boss Pei had personally designed the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine and smart fitness drying rack. He had also given key guidance opinions to the two flagship cell phones in front of Otto Technologies and Slow Movement Studio’s Doubt VR glasses.

These directions had proven to be very successful.

Pei Qian said confidently, “I think that Otto’s X1 cell phone and Shenhua’s foldable screen cell phone might have similar internal structure, but there has to be a clear difference in the external details.”
