February 1st, Wednesday …
He had just completed the settlement yesterday. Today, Pei Qian was already filled with fighting spirit as he prepared to start the next cycle of incurring losses.
Of course, it was mainly because he had been staying at home for a week during the Chinese New Year holiday. He had rested well and his Personal Wealth had reached a peak. That was why Pei Qian was so proactive.
Pei Qian planned to make a trip to Otto Technologies today.
Previously, Otto Technologies was mainly responsible for two main tasks: First was the new system of Otto cell phones, including better linear animation, the photography algorithm of the imaging laboratory, AEEIS smart assistant, and so on. Second was the Automatic Intelligent Bickering Machine, which sold well.
However, Chang You was definitely not satisfied with the results of his previous work.
One had to know that Otto Technologies had already produced Otto E1.
E1, a popular cell phone brand, was selling very well and had also opened up a certain level of popularity.
This cell phone had a high-end positioning from the start, so its success was even more precious.
After all, most cell phone manufacturers had to slowly explore the price, slowly accumulate materials, and slowly accumulate reputation if they wanted to hit the high-end. It might take several models and a few years to slowly establish the price level of the flagship model. What's more, if anything went wrong in the middle, all their previous efforts might be wasted.
On the other hand, Otto cell phones had stood firmly at the high-end from the beginning. It was equivalent to standing at the end of many cell phone brands since its birth.
It did not matter how much the sales volume was. As long as it could make money and people bought it, that was enough!
It was impossible to hope for more for a newly established cell phone brand.
Therefore, Chang You was very eager to improve further and achieve greater success.
Pei Qian knew this very well. That was why he had been suppressing Chang You, making him work in the imaging laboratory and the system. He had not released a new cell phone for an entire year.
Now, Pei Qian had completed the work that he had arranged for Otto Technologies. He had to arrange a new task for Chang You.
If Pei Qian did not care, Chang You would definitely follow his own judgment and carry out the subsequent development.
With Otto E1's success, he would probably make a huge profit.
Thus, Pei Qian had to arrange a task to mislead Chang You so that Otto Technologies' new product would not succeed!
…
"Boss Pei, you're here!"
Chang You welcomed Pei Qian into the conference room with a smug expression.
Obviously, Chang You had been waiting for Boss Pei to arrive and arrange a new task for Otto Technologies.
He couldn't wait to show off his skills.
Pei Qian sat down in the conference room while Chang You sat opposite him with a small box.
"Boss Pei, this is the custom-made mouse that you instructed us to do previously. The sample has been made."
"Oh? Oh. "Pei Qian reached out to take it. Only then did he remember that he had asked Chang You to make this little toy.
Strictly speaking, this was not a product of Otto Technologies. It was just a small peripheral that the Party A had hired an OEM factory to make.
The main reason was that Pei Qian had to find something for Otto Technologies to do after the development of the Automatic Intelligent Bickering Machine was completed. That way, they would not have to come up with new ideas and cause new accidents.
Since this matter was relatively insignificant, Pei Qian did not take it to heart and almost forgot about it. Now that Chang You had taken out the finished product, Pei Qian finally remembered.
Opening the box, there was a standard-sized mouse lying inside.
From the appearance, the mouse was pure white with an LED light strip in the center. It looked quite high-tech.
Chang You said, "Boss Pei, let me introduce its functions to you.
"This is the 'Never Work Overtime Mouse' that you wanted. During working hours, it can be used normally just like other wireless mice. What's more, it has a lithium battery inside, not the ordinary five or seven batteries. It can be used longer. "
"Apart from having a longer battery life and a certain counterweight effect, the most important thing about the lithium battery is that it can provide stronger and more abundant power for the mouse!"
"Once it's off-duty time, it will change into another form, just like this."
As Chang You spoke, he adjusted his cell phone.
Then, the mouse on the conference table suddenly changed form!
The LED light strip on its back turned from blue to red, and a small tail extended out from the end. The left and right keys in the front were originally properly covered by the mouse, but now, they stood up like two small ears of a mouse.
"In this form, no one can catch it."
As Chang You spoke, he reached out to the mouse on the table.
However, the moment he reached out, the mouse suddenly moved horizontally and dodged Chang You's hand!
Chang You reached out again, and the mouse dodged again!
No matter how hard Chang You tried, the mouse was always one step ahead of him. It flashed and moved on the table, running around irregularly, but he could not catch it.
Obviously, there was a sensor on the back of the mouse, and there was a small wheel under the mouse. The small wheel would quickly move away when it sensed a human hand approaching.
Chang You continued. "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that someone is talented enough to catch it in the blink of an eye. At that time, it would activate the cicada shedding program to escape from its claws and send you a warning!"
Chang You carefully avoided the sensor on the back of the mouse and then grabbed it!
However, the mouse made a clicking sound immediately after. A certain mechanism inside it seemed to have been activated. The dark blue body of the mouse separated from the white outer shell and escaped again.
At the same time, the two small eyes on the front of the mouse began to flash red. Chang You's cell phone on the table received a notification.
Chang You adjusted the time on his cell phone to non-working hours.
The mouse that was flashing with red light returned to normal. Chang You put the outer shell back on, and it returned to the appearance of the mouse that it was originally.
"Boss Pei, all mice bound to the app can be set to work hours and monitor in real time. You will have the highest authority."
Pei Qian was elated. "Not bad! I'm very satisfied with this item! "
"Mass produce it immediately and give it to all the departments!"
Before this, Pei Qian did not think too much about it. He only wanted Otto Technologies to find something to do and find an OEM to make a mouse so that employees would not have to work overtime. He did not expect it to be so novel!
Although there were very, very few departments working overtime now, it was always good for Boss Pei to have more preventive measures.
Pei Qian placed the mouse back into the box and expressed his approval of Chang You's work. After that, he drank his tea and asked about the current situation of Otto Technologies.
Chang You said confidently, "Boss Pei, Otto Technologies is doing well!"

The current sales volume of the E1 cell phone is basically negligible. We have already stopped production. After all, this is a phone from a year ago, and we have always adhered to the principle of 'never lowering the price', so there are very few people who will buy it at the original price. "
"But it doesn't matter, because the inventory has almost been cleared. This phone can be considered to have died a natural death."
"Not lowering the price of the cell phone might have affected its sales at the end of its life, but it has also won us a good reputation among our old users. On one hand, it's because they feel that their phones are very valuable. On the other hand, it's because we've been continuously updating the system, so they feel that they're valued. "
"And this reputation has laid a solid foundation for the release of our new cell phones!"
"As for the Intelligent Bickering Machine, it's selling quite well at the moment. Whether it's in the smart speaker field or the echo wall field, or even in the field of art and decoration, it's a very popular product. "
"So, Boss Pei, the E1 cell phone has been released for a year. It's almost time to release a new cell phone, right?"
Chang You's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Pei Qian sipped his tea and nodded reluctantly. "Yes, it's about time."
"What do you think about the new phone?"
Pei Qian did the same thing as before. He first asked Chang You what he planned to do and then led him in the wrong direction.
Chang You said confidently, "This is what I think, Boss Pei.

The E1 cell phone can be said to be a very successful cell phone. Its weight and price might be its shortcomings, but gamers have basically accepted these shortcomings. "
"Summing up experience, I think a key factor is that the E1 cell phones use more mature supply chain technology. Therefore, we might be a new manufacturer, but the quality of the cell phones is still well controlled."
"Therefore, I think we should continue to develop the Otto E2 cell phone.
On the basis of maintaining the characteristics of the E1 cell phone, we should make some small updates to the cell phone chip, camera module, and so on. We just need to ensure that the configuration is not inferior to other flagships. "
"Our current market share is still very low after all. The most important thing is to protect our basic users and then slowly expand into the mainstream market. We should not sell too much."
Pei Qian shook his head silently. "I don't think so."
Chang You did not expect Boss Pei to reject his plan so easily. He thought that he must have made a serious mistake in his judgment of the situation and quickly listened carefully.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and said, "The key to the success of the E1 cell phone is that it is unexpected and different! The moment this cell phone was taken out at the news conference, it immediately lit up the eyes of all consumers. That's why it could gain the upper hand and sell so well. "
"If we just do some regular updates, change the chip, and change the camera module. The cost might be reduced and the risk would be reduced, but would it still give everyone a refreshing feeling?"
"If everyone doesn't think that it is very unique and obviously different from other cell phones, why would they buy it again?"
Chang You was stunned for a moment, feeling that Boss Pei made sense.
"Then, Boss Pei, in your opinion … what should we do with this cell phone?"
