"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your concern. The environment here is already very good, and the company's treatment for everyone is better than what we received in our original unit. Everyone is very satisfied."
"Yes, don't worry, Mr. Li, everyone is very satisfied with the company, and besides being a little quieter, the working environment here is no worse than our original workplace.
Especially the food treatment. I have gained three pounds in just a few months since I came here. My wife said she wants to come to the company cafeteria to learn some skills! "
Hahahaha~
Someone made a wisecrack, everyone laughed happily, and the atmosphere suddenly became bright.
After laughing, Li Xiucheng continued to follow Song Zhi to visit inside. What these people said was correct.
Apart from the fact that there are too many cubicles and too many instruments and equipment, which makes the factory seem a bit crowded, the decoration and other facilities are quite good.
The conditions are not bad either.
After walking around for a while, everyone stood at the door of a relatively large room when they reached the end. Looking in through the transparent partition glass on one side of the corridor, Li Xiucheng saw several researchers holding a few square boxes and talking.
I couldn't help but wonder: "What are you experimenting with?"
"Testing short-distance transmission and receiving call signals!" Song Zhi introduced: "Actually, mobile phones are complicated if you say they are complex, and they are quite simple if you say they are simple.
The simple thing is that its structure is simple, consisting of nothing more than a keyboard, an integrated circuit board, a signal receiver, a microphone, and a dispensable display screen.
The complexity lies in the fact that its integrated circuit requirements are relatively high, and its miniaturization is much more difficult than we expected.
Why were Motorola's first mobile phones so heavy? Because the integrated circuit technology at that time was still quite backward, it was very difficult to integrate audio receivers, comparators, and signal amplifiers, so we had to make them larger.
Now, with the development of VLSI technology and the use of microcomputers, Motorola's mobile phones have begun to become smaller. This is why their latest folding mobile phone is twice the size of its previous big brother.
Mr. Li, look at these little boxes! Isn't it small? "
"yes!"
Li Xiucheng looked at the fist-sized box in the cave researcher's hand and said thoughtfully: "You mean, the things inside are those integrated circuits?"
"Yes! This research laboratory is mainly studying the issue of miniaturization of mobile phones.
Some of the accessories here are the result of our own research, and some are parts removed from Motorola prototypes.
In addition, while we strive to minimize the size of mobile phones, we must also ensure that their sound quality and received signal strength are above a certain level. At present, it is still quite difficult. "
“The difficulty requires everyone to work harder.”
Li Xiucheng was very satisfied with Song Zhi's introduction. It was obvious that this person was a capable manager who was well aware of the company's internal affairs and research progress.
You must know that he didn't say hello in advance when he came today. He came up with the intention yesterday and came today, leaving no time for them to prepare at all.
He faced the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, we are not far behind in mobile phones, and our opponent is the extremely powerful Motorola, the originator of mobile phones.
They have a profound foundation and are making progress every day. At the same time, they have huge profits from the vast market to support research and development.
If we want to catch up with them, we will have to pay more and bear more pressure!
But don’t worry, you have me, Jinxiu Group, and Yintian Group behind you.
We will eliminate all objective unfavorable factors to provide you with the best R&D conditions and environment. You just need to do your best to overcome technical difficulties one after another.
Hopefully, next time I come here to talk to you about how to hold a celebration banquet! "
Bang bang bang~
As soon as he finished speaking, there was violent applause from all around, and the huge sound caused the researchers around him to look sideways.
Li Xiucheng smiled when he saw this and said, "Okay, don't disturb our technicians' work. Let's disperse. Manager Song, let's talk alone."
"Okay, everyone, please leave and go do your own business."
After dispersing everyone, Song Zhi invited Li Xiucheng to open the office on the second floor at the entrance of the factory.
As a manager's office, it is quite large after all, and the furnishings are also very elegant.
After sitting down, serving tea, and chatting for a while, Li Xiucheng changed the subject and said, "Manager Song, what will happen if our current research produces a finished product?"
"Finished product?"
Hearing this, Song Zhi was stunned, because he knew that when they first cooperated, Li Xiucheng had said that he would not impose strict requirements on the company's R&D progress, and that he only needed to develop a mobile phone with national independent intellectual property rights as soon as possible.
I don’t know that I’m asking this again now.
He considered it for a moment and said: "They say everything is difficult at the beginning. In fact, we are only at the beginning. Mr. Li, if you want to design and produce a mobile phone, we can do it now, but there will be a lot of problems involved. The patents need to be licensed from Motorola and some foreign companies."
This answer was not too surprising to Li Xiucheng. He nodded, "After trying to avoid the trap of foreign patents? What kind of product can we design?"
"Well..." Song Zhi frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "It's probably just a little bit better than the Motorola 3200."
Li Xiucheng's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he realized that he still overestimated the level of the R&D company.
The Motorola 3200 was the first-generation mobile phone. It had a single display screen about the same size as a pager, and had a brick-like size and weight. It was one of the favorites of the wealthy.
But that thing became popular in China in 1987, which means that its technical level was at the level of 1983.
You know, not only has he changed to a smaller mobile phone, but even the face-saving Xiao Daguang has put that big guy in the office to keep him at home!
Thinking back to what Spence said when he met him on the second floor of Xiangjiang Mall that day, he had to admit that what he said was indeed right. The gap was really too big.
Even though he just made an impassioned speech to encourage everyone below, he still feels a lot of pressure now!
Cough~
Seeing Li Xiucheng's silence, Song Zhi felt a little embarrassed. He coughed dryly and said, "Mr. Li, I am not belittling myself. Our foundation is indeed far behind others, so please give us a little more time!"
I promise to give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible! "
"Don't feel pressured." Li Xiucheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just came to the lake for consultation. If I still ask for this when I know the situation, then I am forcing others to do something difficult.
Okay, don’t take this to heart. "
