Pei Qian subconsciously searched for Chang You and Jiang Yuan when he arrived at Otto Technologies.
However, he did not see them.
Pei Qian was a little puzzled. Hadn't he already replied that he was coming? Why weren't the two in charge here?
He did not see Chang You and Jiang Yuan. Instead, a slightly bald middle-aged man with a slightly plump figure walked up to him. "Boss Pei, you're here! The information is in the conference room. I've prepared it. Please. "
Pei Qian looked at him and tried his best to recall. He asked uncertainly, "Old Song?"
Old Song smiled. "Yo, Boss Pei, you have a good memory. You still remember me?"
Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he remembered correctly. He smiled and said, "Of course, I've seen the list of representatives of all the departments. How could I be wrong?"
Only then did he remember that Chang You and Jiang Yuan were both in charge. Of course, they had gone down to the grassroots level to experience it!
As for Otto Technologies, they had already changed the person in charge.
This Old Song was a senior product manager in Shenhua Corporation's cell phone department.
He was previously in charge of developing the VR glasses.
He was a very capable and thoughtful product manager.
Obviously, Chang You was completely worried about Otto Technologies's stall. Thus, he found someone he thought was the most reliable and reliable to be the person in charge.
Pei Qian did not say anything else and followed Old Song to the conference room.
"Boss Pei, I've just become the person in charge not long ago. I'm not very familiar with the business. If there are any problems, please criticize and correct me in time."
"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 projects. I shouldn't have disturbed you. However, there's a little special situation with the cell phone project, so I need to ask you."
Old Song handed the two sets of information to Pei Qian as he spoke.
Pei Qian took the two sets of information and quickly scanned them while leaning against the sofa.
He would look at the cell phone first since Old Song said that there was a special situation with the cell phone.
Up until now, the two flagship cell phones released by Otto Technologies were very popular and could be considered a huge success.
Otto Technologies did not engage in fleet tactics like other cell phone manufacturers. Basically, they only released one cell phone a year. As long as they released it, it would definitely be the flagship of the flagship. What's more, even if it was last year's flagship, the configuration would not be outdated.
Of course, the downside was that it was expensive.
At the moment, there were already two cell phones, E1 and G1. The former was more expensive, while the latter mainly focused on games. The response was not bad.
Logically speaking, Pei Qian should have given some suggestions before the development of the new flagship phone so that the cell phone would not be profitable as much as possible. However, Pei Qian did not ask about it this year. That was because his shallow understanding of cell phones had been overdrawn by the previous two cell phones. It was difficult for him to think of new, perfect money-losing ideas.
Nowadays, mobile phones were becoming more and more homogenous. This was something that couldn't be helped, because the market had such a taste and direction.
It was nothing more than a higher screen ratio, better imaging system, continuous improvement of chip performance, further optimization of the system, and so on.
Therefore, according to the original plan, Otto Technologies would continue the two product lines of the E series and the G series and launch E2 and G2 cell phones. It would be a small modification. On the basis of continuing the previous characteristics, the hardware configuration would be improved to meet the current needs of consumers.
The new product line had not been finalized. They had originally wanted to make a small-screen, thin cell phone for women. However, Jiang Yuan knew very well that Boss Pei had always wanted to be different. It was difficult to achieve the 'different' effect that Boss Pei wanted even though the small-screen, thin cell phone was considered a niche category.
Thus, the new product line was still in the planning stage, all the way to Old Song.
But now, the situation had clearly changed.
Pei Qian flipped open the design plan of the cell phone and frowned immediately.
"Otto X1?"
"Folding screen!"
Pei Qian was a little shocked.
That was because in his impression, the flexible screen technology used in the folding screen cell phone would only mature in a few years. Why was it available now?
However, on further thought, the hardware technology in this world was indeed much more advanced. The era of full-screen cell phones had already arrived a few years in advance. It was reasonable for the folding screen technology to be brought forward a few years.
Since it was a technology that had just appeared, it was definitely not very perfect. There must be all sorts of problems.
What's more, it would be very expensive.
From a pessimistic point of view, this was indeed an opportunity. However, from a more optimistic point of view, this was also a great opportunity to incur losses!
If it was the kind of folding screen that was thick, clumsy, and had large gaps, then it probably wouldn't make much money.
Otto Technologies might have a certain amount of technological accumulation, but there should still be a huge gap between them and the traditional big shot cell phone manufacturers in the cell phone field. There should not be any obvious advantage in this aspect.
Pei Qian comforted himself as he flipped open the design plan of the X1 cell phone.
Then, he was stunned.
This was obviously a rather mature design!
It used a relatively stable inward-folding design. The front size of the folded cell phone was similar to that of an ordinary cell phone. It had a single hole with a common face, and the screen ratio was very high. It was almost seamless and very natural after folding. What's more, it was a wedge-shaped structure from left to right. The right side was thick, and the left side was thin. It would be very comfortable to hold it with the right hand when unfolded. When folded, both sides were equally wide, making up for the shortcomings of the folding screen as much as possible.
This design gave Pei Qian a familiar sense of déjà vu.
He knew very well that this was probably the most perfect form of the folding screen at the current level of technology!
This design did not look complicated. It could even be said to be ordinary. However, sophisticated digital products like cell phones relied on details to win.
Pei Qian felt that this design was definitely not something that Otto Technologies could create at the moment.
He flipped to the back again. Indeed, this was the latest result of Shenhua's cell phone department, especially this hinge structure. It was unique and had invested a huge amount of money in research and development.
However, Shenhua's cell phone department was willing to share this patent with Otto Technologies.
It could be called a decentralization or a cooperation. In short, they were authorized to use it. Of course, Otto Technologies would definitely have to express something. However, no matter what, being willing to sell such a thing was already a show of sincerity. 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 been highlighted. Pei Qian could see it even if he was blind.
Old Song quickly waved his hand. "Boss Pei, don't misunderstand. I'm not the only one to take credit!"
"The main reason is that Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation have always had a close relationship. Boss Pei, you have helped us a lot in Slow Movement Studio and many other matters. That's why Boss Lin Yu is considering continuing to cooperate with Tengda."
"Otto Technologies' cell phone department and Shenhua's cell phone business positioning are actually staggered. They do not form a direct competitive relationship. Instead, they have a certain complementary effect. That's why they plan to continue to cooperate in this area."
"I just happened to be in time. Since I've become the acting person-in-charge of Otto Technologies, I have to pull some strings …"
Pei Qian chuckled in his heart.
You're making it harder for me to incur losses!
Shenhua's folding screen plan was indeed the most mature plan at the moment. If this cell phone was really produced, wouldn't it be snatched up like crazy?
However, Pei Qian was helpless. How could he reject such a good plan?
He could not think of a reason!
Old Song was right. Tengda and Shenhua's cell phone business did not have a direct competitive relationship. Strictly speaking, Otto Technologies' cell phones did not have a direct competitive relationship with all the other cell phone manufacturers in the country.
That was because the other cell phone manufacturers fought the most intensely in the low-end market. They worked hard to gain a foothold in the mid-end market. Only a few cell phone manufacturers, such as Shenhua and Pineapple, could gain a stable foothold in the high-end market.
As for Otto Technologies … it was directly in the ultra-high-end market.
It was even higher than the high-end market!
That was because Otto Technologies was taking the path of personalization. It was a model that was directly targeted at Tengda's fans and bundled with a large number of Tengda's exclusive benefits. It was really not on the same track as the other cell phone manufacturers.
It would be quite difficult for someone who was used to Otto cell phones to change to other cell phones.
It would be quite good for Shenhua's cell phone department to work with Tengda to snatch the market of other cell phones. The first market was so big, and it was not like it could only support one company.
What's more, Tengda also had games projects. There was a possibility of deep cooperation with Shenhua Corporation in mobile games and other areas.
Thus, this cooperation was really f * cking suitable. There was no reason to reject it!
Pei Qian thought about it. Since there was no reason to reject it, he could only bite the bullet.
He had to think of a way to turn opportunity into a crisis!
The folding screen plan that Shenhua had given was indeed quite mature. Pei Qian could not make changes to the overall framework because it would be too obvious that he was deliberately messing things up.
However, it was not a problem to tamper with some details.
It was the details that determined success and failure. It could also show Boss Pei's true strength!
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and 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? Boss Pei, please speak. "
He did not expect Boss Pei to really give an opinion.
That was because this plan was carefully crafted by Shenhua Corporation's designers. Everyone felt that it was already perfect and that there was no room for further improvement.
Could Boss Pei be able to come up with a unique plan from another perspective?
Old Song did not dare to delay and listened carefully.
Boss Pei was the one who personally designed the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine and the Smart Fitness drying rack after all. He also had doubts about the two flagship cell phones of Otto Technologies and Slow Movement Studios.
He also had doubts about the two flagship cell phones of Otto Technologies and Slow Movement Workspace's VR glasses.
And these directions were proven to be very successful most of the time.
Pei Qian said confidently, "I think that the internal structure of Otto's X1 cell phone and Shenhua's folding screen cell phone might be similar, but there must be obvious differences in the external details."
