Feng Yu passed the documents to Aiwa Electronics and asked them to develop the USB drive. Of course, Feng Yu also made a request. The USB drive must be as small as a plastic lighter and not as big as a hard disk.
Feng Yu was prepared. The initial USB drive might not be 128MB. Based on the MP3 player's ratio, it might be 32MB. But that is not bad and is better than a floppy disk. Also, the USB drive's biggest advantage is it is not damaged and does not need to worry about power outages.
Feng Yu could not remember when the USB drive appeared in his previous life. But it should be after Win98 was released. That's why he had enough time.
But now, USB ports were available, and Feng Yu had to be careful. What if he remembered wrongly, or history had changed, and the USB drive was developed by other companies?
After Aiwa Electronics got the MP3 player's technologies, they realized they still need to develop the USB drive. They still need hardware engineers. So, Feng Yu borrowed a few people from Lenovo to help Aiwa Electronics develop the USB drive at a low price in the future.
Liu Chuanzhi and the rest felt this USB drive will be developed in the future. But it is impossible to develop it in the short term. But there is no harm in developing it. If it is developed in the future, Liu Chuanzhi's technology will be more advanced.
Aiwa Electronics' engineers might be good at developing radios, but without Lenovo's help, they will not be able to develop a USB drive!
After everything was settled, Feng Yu looked at Aiwa Electronics' development of the new mobile phone. Some of his requirements had been realized. For example, the screen should be bigger, and the sound should be changed to 40 chords. But there are still two screens and the functions of loading games into the phone.
But Feng Yu was satisfied with the development speed. Feng Yu gave Aiwa Electronics a new request. All mobile phone companies can produce flip phones. You all have never thought of innovating on the flip phone?
Xu Lihua was puzzled by Feng Yu's request. The cover already had two screens. How are they going to innovate?
In Xu Lihua's opinion, this phone cover was nothing more than making the screen bigger and evolving from a blue screen to a color screen. Wind & Rain Electronics has this technology, but the cost is too high.
If they were to make a cell phone with a color screen, the production cost alone would more than double. How much would a cell phone sell for? Moreover, there were no conditions in China to produce it, so they needed to find an overseas OEM. Fortunately, Philips could produce it.
But Xu Lihua did not order it. The mainstream mobile phones were still gray screens. A blue screen or orange screen was already advanced enough. Once the color screen was released, it would be like a great leap forward. All mobile phone manufacturers would introduce color screens, and the price of mobile phones would increase again, affecting the popularity of mobile phones.
Also, the color screen technology of Wind & Rain Electronics will make the cover of the phone very thick. After installing the other side of the screen, the thickness of the phone will increase by almost one centimeter. The phone will become very bulky and … ugly!
Didn't General Manager Feng say that the mobile phone's exterior must be fashionable and beautiful? The mobile phone must be light and comfortable to hold with one hand. It's best if the mobile phone can be held with one hand. The mobile phone is too thick for one hand to hold.
Feng Yu picked up the scissors on Xu Lihua's table and opened the scissors again and again. He then asked Xu Lihua if he understood.
Xu Lihua was still puzzled. What can I understand if you move the scissors? Cut off a piece of the phone and make it into a small cube? How can I use it?!
Feng Yu was furious when he saw Xu Lihua's puzzled expression. Feng Yu's understanding is too low. Xu Lihua's technologies are good and his management is good. But why is his understanding so low? How can someone with such low understanding overcome technical difficulties?
"Look carefully. This side is the screen, and this side is the button. Rotate it from here, and the screen will light up. Rotate it back, and the screen will close. This way, we can use one screen to achieve the same thing as two screens. "Feng Yu pointed to the scissors and said.
Why is flip phone the mainstream now, and there are very few straight phones? It is not because flip phones are popular. It is because the cost of flip phones is lower than straight phones, and the screen is bigger.
Straight phones can have a small screen of 1 inch, and it is also possible to make a bigger screen. That phone will be like an old mobile phone, thick and long.
When other people's phones are made smaller, if you do the opposite and make it bigger, the consumers will definitely not accept it. This is because your phone is only bigger, and the screen is not bigger. It will be ugly!
Feng Yu was talking to Xu Lihua about rotary phone. This is the earliest mobile phone with a large screen.
"General Manager Feng, if you use a rotary phone, the screen will be exposed to the public. If you touch the screen, it will be damaged." Xu Lihua frowned.
"Why don't you add a layer of protective film on the screen? Look at it this way. The entire screen can become so big. Isn't it clearer and more eye-catching? "
Luxury goods, in addition to being usable, had another important function, and that was to show off.
When everyone is using flip phones, and you are using a more fashionable rotary phone, you will be the center of attention.
Xu Lihua's eyes became brighter and brighter. He remembered what someone had told him two days ago. Nowadays, people liked to hang their pagers on their waist. It was not for convenience, but to let others see that he had a pager. He was a capable person!
Many people purposely talk loudly in crowded places. It is not that they do not know this will disturb others, but it is to let others see that they own a mobile phone!
Those who own a mobile phone like to show off, and this more fashionable rotary phone will be more eye-catching.
Feng Yu knew Xu Lihua does not know how to draw inferences, and he continued to remind him. "Other than flip phones and rotary phones, you can also use a sliding phone. You can slide the screen up and to the right to reveal the buttons. "
"General Manager Feng, it is possible to slide upwards, but what's the use of sliding sideways? This phone is not comfortable to hold, and it is not convenient to make calls. "
Feng Yu nodded. He is satisfied with Xu Lihua's answer. That's right. Sliding sideways has this weakness. But how did people do it in Feng Yu's previous life? Turn the buttons horizontally and make it a full keyboard, or add a game controller on top.
Or make it like a BlackBerry and add in email functions. This way, Feng Yu will be able to make a name for himself.
"Turn it into a full keyboard, like a laptop's keyboard. This way, it will be faster when you type text. Also, you can make it into a gaming phone. When the screen stands up, it will look like a game console. Of course, this is only an idea, and I do not want you to complete it now. "
Feng Yu said as he gestured with his hands to let Xu Lihua understand. Feng Yu is trying to enlighten Xu Lihua's thinking.
After giving Xu Lihua some instructions, someone knocked on the door to inform him that Duan Yongping is here.
Feng Yu is curious. Why is Old Duan looking for him in Beijing? The Little Tyrant's CD-ROM game console is at a critical moment, and Old Duan should be in Shenzhen now.
Could it be that the CD-ROM game console is a success?
