Technological Supremacy Chapter 60: No war in August
Fire in August.
Hotter than the weather, it is the rapid progress of Xingchen Technology in many fields.
The newly established Display Division has a strong team of more than 300 experts, among which the proportion of senior intellectuals with a master's degree or above has reached a sensational 85%.
The display business department is directly led by An Ran, one of the two vice presidents of the company, with a double doctorate from MIT, and Luo Jia supervises the whole process.
In addition to the company's original optical business department, semiconductor business department, and electrical business department.
For the first time, the total number of the Xingchen Technology Hardware Group Army has exceeded 500 people, including many well-known experts such as Fang Yuanchu, Ma Chuncheng, Ling Feng, Zhang Yuechuan, and Lu Chengfeng.
The software group army is also full of talents. It is led by Li Moran, who is known as one of the stars. It has the Eye of the Sky business department, the search engine business department, the mobile phone assistant business department, and a technical support team that is responsible for the coordination of software and hardware. department.
Compared with the powerful hardware group army, the proportion of senior intellectuals in the software group is slightly lower, accounting for about 50%.
After all, in addition to professional work such as system architecture and coding, there are also clerical personnel such as artists and copywriters, such as artists, undergraduates graduated from major art colleges, are already competent enough, there is no need to recruit a group of artists Graduate students from the department come in.
The total number of people in the software center exceeds 400, and the largest division is the mobile assistant.
After several consecutive expansions, the total number of people in the mobile assistant business department has exceeded 200, with 22 regular groups and three expert groups.
Luo Jia doesn't often go to the software center, but keeps in real-time contact with Li Moran through the company's internal encrypted email system to solve any problems encountered by the software center at any time.
After all, the operating system project is too important, and Luo Jia hopes that the software department will stay away from the attention of the technology circle.
Although Star Technology, as an invisible overlord, is not the kind of company that is widely known to the society, there are countless pairs of eyes in the technology circle, staring at them all the time.
If there is nothing special, Luo Jia will go to display the report of the business department every day.
There are as many as six project groups under the Display Division, Mixed Material Group, Driver IC Group, Glass Substrate Group, Color Filter Group, and Scientific Production Optimization Group.
It doesn't matter if there are too many project teams. What's more difficult is that because the company doesn't have enough large-scale laboratories and experimental equipment, six project teams work in five locations.
In addition to the headquarters, Jiaotong University, Fudan University, and Huawei 2012 Lab all have project teams and experimental teams of Star Technology.
I have to say, Sha Zhan, Gong Xiangdong, Gu Pengdong, these three old friends really helped Luo Jia a lot.
Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong were in charge of contacting the university laboratory, and Gong Xiangdong lent part of the area and equipment of the 2012 laboratory to Luo Jia after obtaining the consent of Mr. Ren.
The most ridiculous thing is the scientific production optimization group. Since the mission of this group is to improve the exposure machine and other equipment on the production line, their office is in the Kunshan factory, and Luo Jia often travels to Kunshan.
Perhaps, people really miss their leisure time as a student only after they leave school and go to work.
When she was in school, Luo Jia always felt that school was boring, and hoped to enter the society as soon as possible and do something great.
However, when he really started his business, he discovered that the carefree campus life, the days of fighting in games with his dormitory brothers, and those wasted youth are actually indispensable in life Valuable experience.
Confused.
But whose youth is not confused.
All in all, Luo Jia is suffering and happy now.
And Xingchen Technology, which once set off one storm after another in the technology circle, seems to have suddenly fallen silent.
Those technology enthusiasts who expected Luo Jia to bring another August storm, I am afraid they will be disappointed.
For Luo Jia and his company, there is no war in August, only focus and hard work.
Star Technology has entered the silent research and development stage, but in the mobile phone market, the last seven giant companies have begun their last madness.
This August is destined not to be peaceful.
Since August 1st, the Samsung-Apple alliance, and the China-made Big Four alliance, new mobile phones have been born at the same time, and the flames of war have once again ignited, becoming the most eye-catching focus in the world.
What Samsung and Apple have brought is an epoch-making 4,000-resolution screen and an innovative foldable phone.
Luo Jia immediately bought a prototype from scalpers and analyzed it carefully.
It has to be said that the research and development and workmanship standards of the two industry overlords are indeed top-notch.
The 4,000 ultra-high-resolution screen brings users an unprecedented visual feast. In the high-definition video, the hair of the actress is clearly visible, and even the golden hair on the arm can be seen clearly.
OLED screens already have the advantages of bright colors, and now they are fully utilized. Super resolution plus super colors, combined with high brightness up to 500 nits, fully satisfy human vision.
The innovative foldable mobile phone uses the flexibility and bendability of the OLED screen to create an amazing effect of combining a tablet computer and a mobile phone in one fell swoop.
The foldable mobile phone is equipped with two screens, and the folded size is about five inches, which is easy to put in the pocket.
After the folding phone is opened, it is a 7.6-inch tablet computer, which can have a larger visual area when watching movies, and can even undertake some simple office needs, such as writing office documents, doing preliminary image processing, etc. .
Fully functional as a portable productivity tool if you connect a keyboard and mouse.
For a while, technology enthusiasts and consumers all over the world cheered. Samsung and Apple also announced in a high-profile manner that their mobile phones can completely replace tablet computers and even laptop computers.
In the future, you only need a mobile phone to study and work.
While possessing super high performance, Samsung and Apple have also exposed some weaknesses.
The 4,000-level ultra-high-resolution screen brings about a serious increase in power consumption.
According to actual measurements by major bloggers in the technology circle, when playing high-definition movies in full screen, it takes only two hours and twenty minutes to run out of power and be forced to enter power-saving mode.
As for folding mobile phones, insufficient power is also a big trouble. In addition, when the screen is continuously folded, whether there will be color distortion or even damage to some display areas still needs time to test.
As for the four domestic giants, the under-screen fingerprint technology and wireless charging technology surprised the whole world when they first appeared!
There are no bangs on the front, only a crystal-clear and perfect screen, just like a work of art displayed in a museum.
The epoch-making revolutionary technology, energy wave wireless charging, has finally freed mobile phones from the trouble of power cords, and people can enjoy the convenience brought by wireless in the living room or in the bathtub.
Moreover, because domestic mobile phones use power-saving 1080P screens, coupled with convenient wireless charging technology, there is no power trouble at all, and you can use them for as long as you want.
Technology bloggers with a large number of fans exclaimed that the era of wireless mobile phones has finally arrived. Apart from the screen resolution, the mobile phones of the Big Four are the most perfect mobile phones in the world!
However, this is not the most terrifying.
With new products on the market, the Big Four domestically produced their best trump cards at the same time.
Price!
The low-profile version is 2,999 yuan!
The high-end version is 3,999 yuan!
The top version is 4,999 yuan!
When the prices of the Big Four were announced ~IndoMTL.com~ the whole world fell into madness!
This is not a price war at all, but a price massacre launched by the Big Four against Samsung and Apple!
You know, the retail prices of Samsung and Apple's 4,000-resolution mobile phones all exceed 10,000.
The folding mobile phone is even more unprecedented, reaching the price range of 20,000 yuan.
It doesn’t cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, only 3,000 yuan minimum, you can have a full screen, a rear ultra-clear top-level camera, a front innovative under-screen camera, and a second-generation mobile assistant. A super phone with revolutionary energy wave charging technology!
How will consumers choose?
Of course it's a direct buy!
From the first day of August, this long-planned, insane massacre by the Big Four teaming up with Xingchen Technology started simultaneously in every market in the world!
For the first time in history, there were people queuing up three days in advance at the specialty stores of the Big Four around the world. On the day of the release, the long queue even wound through several street corners!
Samsung and Apple do dominate the premium segment of the premium handset segment.
However, the top market has limited capacity after all, accounting for less than 10% of the world.
All the remaining markets have been bloodbathed by the four domestic giants with a devastating offensive!
The well-known Yu Dazui, president of Huawei's consumer division, dismissed the claim in a TV interview.
"The few percent at the top of the market can be taken by Samsung and Apple, but the rest of the market is all ours!"
