Xiamu Network brought an unexpected business. On the other side, Boss Jia hurriedly returned to the country because just now, Ni Guangnan brought him a good news that he had been waiting for for a long time.
"Little Jia, this is the phone you designed. Take a look and tell me what you think!" In the core experiment of the Daqian Electronics Research Center, Ni Guangnan proudly placed a small and exquisite phone in front of Boss Jia.
"This is the phone that our Daqian made!" Boss Jia was a little excited. He held it in his hand and played with it.
This phone was actually designed by Boss Jia himself. However, Boss Jia wasn't crazy enough to come up with a design like a full-screen phone 30 years later. Even if he did, he wouldn't have been able to make it.
In the end, Boss Jia still chose to honestly design a normal mobile phone in this era. However, this time, Boss Jia chose to be original instead of plagiarizing any mobile phone from later generations.
Therefore, after more than a month of constant editing, Boss Jia came up with his own design. Influenced by the simple style of later generations, Boss Jia's design was very indirect. The shape was a round rectangle with an antenna on top and some compact phone buttons on the bottom.
The buttons were a little big, but they weren't obtrusive. Each button was very round and smooth, giving off a jade-like feeling.
At the top of the phone was an LCD screen. However, the functions of this screen weren't as crazy as those of later generations. At present, this screen could only display phone numbers, phone books, settings, and some other basic functions.
However, there was one thing that stood out about the screen. It was big to the extent that it was unnecessary. Some researchers didn't understand this very well. Moreover, if the screen was big, it would be more troublesome to display text. This was because there would be a lot of gaps, which would affect the overall image.
However, Boss Jia's words made everyone speechless.
In the eyes of customers, a big screen was more attractive!
Overall, the entire phone was actually quite big. Boss Jia could barely wrap it in his palm. However, it was already many times smaller than the previous Big Brother.
Of course, compared to the new phones that would be released in the next ten years, it was still much bigger.
Wait, you're asking why it's a new mobile phone for the next ten years?
This was because starting from 12 years in the future, there would be a shocking reversal in the trend of mobile phones. They went from getting smaller and smaller to getting bigger and bigger.
Back to the topic, in terms of looks, there was nothing to say about this phone. Boss Jia was confident that it could crush all the other phones of the same era. After all, this phone was designed by combining many of the classic phone models that Boss Jia had seen in his previous life.
All in all, this phone didn't have any fancy design. Instead, it exuded an air of superiority, like a cold plum blossom in the snow.
Of course, although Boss Jia's design draft was perfect and beautiful, there were always many things that couldn't be done in the actual production process.
In any case, Boss Jia had already handed this design draft to the laboratory at the beginning of 1994. However, it wasn't until the beginning of 1995, a year later, that the prototype of this phone was finally completed and landed in Boss Jia's hands. However, compared to the original design draft, many parts had been modified. Overall, the looks were still the most important.
"After three years of hard work, we finally made this thing!" Boss Jia exclaimed. He had invested more than two billion USD into the research center over the past three years. Today, the research center finally produced the first prototype of the phone.
"It wasn't easy!" Ni Guangnan exclaimed from the side.
Now, the research center had a total of three main research areas. The first was the photolithography machine and related industries.
The second direction was the mobile phone. This was also something that Boss Jia pushed hard for.
The third direction was all kinds of special materials.
Other than that, there were also a lot of miscellaneous things. Let's not talk about them for now.
The photolithography machine had reached a bottleneck. Although the 200nm photolithography machine had been solved, the 150nm photolithography machine was a huge challenge. It was said that every researcher involved in this field was bald.
The mobile phone was also in a difficult situation. In fact, the research center had developed a few mobile phones before, but they were all mobile phones with analog signals. This was also the current mainstream mobile phone communication method in the world.
However, Boss Jia ended their lives in the laboratory because Boss Jia wanted a GSM mobile phone. Because only a GSM mobile phone could be called a 2G mobile phone. At the same time, it was also a mobile phone with Internet access in the future.
Therefore, the mobile phone with analog signals was destined to go to the grave. Boss Jia wouldn't produce a device that was destined to go to the junkyard.
For the GSM mobile phone, Boss Jia also gave a series of functional requirements. He asked for a phone book, an alarm clock, and other small functions. These were all a headache for the entire research center.
More importantly, Boss Jia also requested that they avoid the patent pools of foreign companies, such as Nokia and Motorola, as much as possible. They wanted to design their own technology and patents that were unique to Da Qian.
Unless there was no way to avoid it, they had to do it themselves.
This was also something that couldn't be helped. In the future, Hua Xia's mobile phone industry seemed to be thriving, and domestic mobile phones were awesome. However, in reality, a domestic mobile phone that was sold for 4,000 yuan only had a profit of less than 600 yuan. However, the various patent fees that needed to be paid were as high as 1,200 yuan. Many foreign companies could rely on their own patent pool for a lifetime.
Therefore, Boss Jia took advantage of the fact that many patents had not yet been developed to spur his researchers to madly research patents in the field of mobile phone communications.
However, the results were quite good. Although it was not as good as the patent pool of the two giants, Nokia and Motorola, Daqian also held a lot of important patents. Many times, when Motorola and Nokia went to the patent office to register a patent, they were surprised to find that the patent had already been registered by a Hua Xia company.
But in any case, after a lot of hardships, the first GSM mobile phone produced by Hua Xia was finally born in the laboratory of the Daqian Electronics Research Center.
Although many foreign parts and patents were still used, the localization rate barely exceeded 60%.
"How long will it take to mass-produce this mobile phone!" Boss Jia fondled the mobile phone lovingly and asked his teacher again and again.
"I don't know. The technical laboratory already has a full set. The key is that there are more than 60 parts and more than 1,600 semiconductors. If it's mass-produced, all of these will also have to be mass-produced."
"Even if some of them can be purchased directly from foreign countries, the other 60% will have to be produced by ourselves. So it depends on whether the Daqian Group has the ability!" Ni Guangnan looked at Boss Jia and smiled.
"It should be. After all, my Daqian Group Army has been established!" Boss Jia smiled. He spent a lot of money and effort last year to create the entire Daqian Super Group Army and dozens of companies. It was finally time to put their talents to use!
