Pei Qian thought about it.
An important factor in the success of Otto E1 cell phone was the mature design of the supply chain. The quality control of the cell phone could be guaranteed. In addition, additional services such as only changing and not repairing could support the high-end cell phone brand.
So what if he did the opposite now?
Wouldn't quality control not be guaranteed if he only used the immature design in the supply chain?
Of course, Pei Qian did not intend to cheat consumers. If the quality rate was not good, he would only change and not repair it. If it was not good enough, he would give more compensation. Then, the after-sales cost of Otto E1 cell phone would increase, its reputation would deteriorate, and sales would decline. That would trigger a chain reaction …
Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
Thus, Pei Qian said after some consideration, "What are the latest technologies in the supply chain now?"
Chang You thought for a moment and said, "The latest technology … should be the face screen technology and pop-up camera. This should be the mainstream plan next year. As far as I know, Shenhua and a few other large cell phone manufacturers have plans to develop similar models. "
"However, the face screen plan would also bring certain problems. For example, the weight of the cell phone would increase, the cost would increase, the waterproof performance would decrease, the heat dissipation would decrease, the quality rate would decrease, and so on. The only advantage should be that the front would be a whole screen, and it would look better. "
"Therefore, these large manufacturers would not consider using the face screen as a flagship model or a mass-production model."
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, this is not bad. I'll use it!"
Of course, Pei Qian had some predictions for the development of cell phones.
The face screen was definitely the future development trend. Before the perfect face screen plan like the under-screen camera could be mass-produced, water droplets, bangs, digging holes, and pop-up cameras would definitely exist as alternatives for a long time.
The pop-up camera would be popular for a short period of time, but it would soon be replaced by water droplets and digging holes due to various problems.
Of course, some flagships with 3D structural light would use the bangs screen plan, but it obviously had nothing to do with Otto Technologies, which did not have much technical reserves.
The conventional pop-up camera plan still had a high chance of success even though he had finalized the pop-up camera plan. Pei Qian had to think of other ways to be safer.
"According to the current plan, where exactly is the pop-up camera?" Pei Qian asked.
Chang You immediately answered, "Of course it's at the top, Boss Pei. They are usually arranged on the top of the phone. Some are on the left, some are on the right, and some are in the middle. With different structures, the internal layout of the phone is naturally different, but the difference is not big. "
Pei Qian nodded. "Hmm … since others are taking the lead, we can't be like them."
"How about this, we'll do it from the side!"
"Let's do it at the top of the left side of the phone!"
Chang You was stunned. "Huh?"
A pop-up camera on the top left corner of the phone was indeed a relatively common solution. However, other people's upper left corner was on the short side, and it popped out vertically. However, Boss Pei wanted to make it on the long side, and it popped out horizontally!
This was too strange!
Of course, this position was not too ridiculous. Regardless of whether the phone was held with the left or right hand, the bottom half of the phone was not suitable for a pop-up camera. It was easy to be blocked by the hand, so it could only be used on the top half of the phone.
But a normal person would definitely be at the top, right? Who would do it on the side!
When the camera popped out, he imagined that it was a "7", which was ridiculous.
Chang You hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Pei, wouldn't it be asymmetrical if we put a pop-up camera in this position? It might look ugly, right? "
Pei Qian was silent for a moment. "Asymmetrical? Hmm … you can add a pop-up camera in the upper right or lower left corner to make it symmetrical. "
Chang You, "???"
What the f * ck? Two pop-up cameras?!
Chang You said that it was asymmetrical mainly because he felt that the camera should be moved to the middle. Whether it was in the middle of the top side or the middle of the left side, it would at least look more beautiful.
In the end, Boss Pei actually understood that to make two pop-up cameras symmetrical?
Wasn't this a joke?!
One pop-up camera was too much for a good cell phone. What was the use of so many pop-up cameras?!
Chang You said, "That's definitely not suitable …"
Pei Qian waved his hand. "It's still the same. Just do it where I said. Alright, this design is decided. You can consider the other details yourself. "
Chang You opened his mouth, but he saw Boss Pei's firm attitude and did not say anything in the end.
Obviously, there was a deeper meaning in Boss Pei's words. It was not appropriate for him to ask too much now. It was better for him to figure it out carefully.
Pei Qian continued, "I have another project for you apart from developing cell phones. I need you to work closely with Deposit Fitness and Shang Yang Games to complete this project. "
Chang You naturally took it very seriously when he heard that it was a project that required the cooperation of the three departments. He temporarily put the matter of the cell phone aside. "Boss Pei, please speak."
Pei Qian said, "Develop a smart fitness equipment. You'll be in charge of finding an OEM and doing product design; Deposit Fitness will be in charge of providing technical support and can also be used as a display store; Shang Yang Games will be in charge of developing games that go along with this fitness equipment. "
Chang You was stunned when he heard that. He quickly asked, "Boss Pei, what is this smart fitness equipment?"
Pei Qian said, "Smart fitness drying rack."
Chang You: "Huh?"
What the f * ck is this smart fitness drying rack!
Chang You would have thought that Boss Pei was joking with him if not for the fact that Boss Pei's expression was extremely serious.
As for why Pei Qian emphasized that the three departments should develop it together …
That was because he realized that the more departments were used in a project, the higher the resources and budget that could be used!
It was just like the development of Mission and Choice. If it was only a game project or a movie project, he could only spend one portion of the money. However, if he made both a game and a movie, he could spend more money than the original two budgets combined!
What's more, Pei Qian had already realized that even if he only let one department be in charge of one project, he would not be able to stop them from working together for no reason.
In that case, the harm would be even greater because Pei Qian would not be able to tell when he would suddenly be stabbed if he was not on guard.
Since that was the case, it would be better to let many departments develop new projects together from the beginning and take the initiative to arrange for them to work together. The entire development process of the project could be monitored in real time. That way, he would not be stabbed in the back for no reason, right?
Wouldn't it be three times happier if the three departments used three times the budget to work on a failed project together?
Chang You asked, "Boss Pei, the smart fitness drying rack that you mentioned … What exactly is it?"
Pei Qian coughed softly and said, "Family fitness has always been a very important fitness scene. It might be better to go to the gym, but for most people who are more homebodies, running all the way to the gym is a more troublesome thing. It's very difficult to persevere. "
"Developing a family fitness product will help expand our fitness product line after we already have Deposit Fitness! At the same time, it is also in line with the healthy lifestyle concept of 'Tengda Life'. "
"The most fatal problem with the current family fitness products is that they can easily become drying racks. Whether it's treadmills, ellipsoids, spinning bicycles, or bench presses, they can't escape the fate of becoming drying racks in the end. "
"This actually highlights a very key user demand. Think about it, why would users treat these fitness equipment as drying racks? Is it because they're lazy? Don't they want to exercise? "
"Not necessarily."
"I think the more important reason is that they don't have enough space to dry their clothes! If there were enough space to dry their clothes, why would they hang their clothes or bedsheets on the fitness equipment? "
"Therefore, this is a very important customer demand."
"Customers who buy these home fitness equipment actually have two needs: the first is fitness; the second is to dry clothes. However, traditional fitness equipment actually does not satisfy both needs! "
"Therefore, we have to solve this pain point for our customers!"
"Our fitness equipment has the function of drying clothes since the beginning of its design. That way, our products would surpass ordinary fitness equipment in terms of drying clothes. It would be more practical! "
"Our products are the best for drying clothes among all the home fitness equipment. Our products are the only ones with fitness functions among all the drying racks."
"This is the core competitiveness of the smart fitness drying rack! What's more, I can foresee that such a product will never appear in the market for a long time in the future! "
"To users, they would feel that it would be a pity if they bought a fitness equipment and it became a drying rack. They would not recommend others to buy it. However, if they thought about it the other way around, they would be able to use it to exercise when they buy a drying rack. That would be very worth it!"
Chang You blinked his eyes and was dumbfounded by what he heard.
Boss Pei was a genius at logic!
It was just like the joke. It would be very bad if one smoked while reading. However, it would instantly become inspirational if one smoked while reading.
It would make people feel that it was a loss if the fitness equipment was reduced to a drying rack. However, if it was a drying rack, it would be a huge profit!
However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss …
Chang You pondered for a moment and asked, "Boss Pei, why did you make this equipment smart? What kind of game do you think Shang Yang Games will collaborate with us to develop? "
Pei Qian fell silent for a moment.
That was because he had never thought about these two questions. He simply felt that he could raise the price and reduce sales. He did not have any special plans.
A home fitness equipment was useless to begin with. It was easy to eat dust and occupy space. It was useless to make it into a smart equipment to increase the cost. Coupled with the cost of the game …
He would definitely incur losses!
However, he could not tell Chang You this reason.
Pei Qian could only pretend to be deep and say, "I'll need the three departments to think about this problem together."
