Chapter 1642: Creating the Future (First Update, Please Subscribe)

“Because it’s worth it!”

Looking directly at the woman in front of him, through the information collected during this period of time, Zhu Xianhai knew that this woman had been driving the company's technological research and development in the past few years.

Perhaps, it is under her promotion that many new smartphones launched by her company will appear in the mall. This is also the reason why Zhu Xianhai will acquire this company, he needs this company to promote the development of certain technologies.

Perhaps the Ming Dynasty's spacecraft has already flown to Mars and even built a space station on the moon, but the application of Internet technology and the development of smart phones in this world are still lagging behind the times.

At least in Zhu Xianhai's opinion, it is behind the times.

"Why?"

Joanna asked back.

“Because of technology.”

Zhu Xianhai said directly.

"Your father created the world's first personal computer, thus creating the computer age. Since you became the chairman of the company, you have been committed to the development of new technologies, trying to make breakthroughs in certain technologies. And this attempt is not limited to traditional computers. Am I right?"

Looking at the young and somewhat strange guy in front of her, Joanna couldn't help but feel alarm bells ringing in her heart. How did he know?

Did he send out corporate spies?

"You sent people to my company before this?"

Zhu Xianhai did not directly respond to her question.

"Ms. Qiao, just like you said, I have done my homework."

Although there was no answer, it was considered as tacit acceptance. In fact, we need spies there. Your products for the next ten years or so are all in our mall.

From mobile phones to computers to tablets, it can be said that everything is available.

"oh,"

Joanna said.

"Then you should know that our new product will be on the market soon, and I believe it will be well received by the market."

Of course Zhu Xianhai knew what she was referring to, which was a portable media player that functioned like an iPod from another world. It brought media players into a new era of video playback.

Drawing on the experience of another world, although it will be popular in the market, it will eventually be eliminated by mobile phones.

"I don't care about that, I care about the future."

"future?"

Joanna looked at him in confusion.

“Yes, it is the future.”

Zhu Xianhai said directly.

"Decades ago, your father pioneered the era of personal computers, but that was the era of desktop computers. Even though laptops were invented later, and the now popular netbooks are just cheap notebooks, they don't have any outstanding features."

Looking at Joanna, Zhu Xianhai said.

"Now, you are the only one in the world who has not manufactured netbooks. Why don't you manufacture them?"

His rhetorical question made Johanna stunned, and she speculated secretly in her heart.

"Could it be that he even knows about that secret project?"

There is an extremely important project within the company, a secret project based on multi-touch research and development, which has been carefully protected by the Qiao family father and daughter. It was not until three years ago that they made a breakthrough and mastered the multi-touch technology.

This is also the reason why Joanna is extremely confident. Even though the current machine is relatively thick and heavy, and the battery performance is too weak, as long as they continue to improve it, they will definitely launch a revolutionary product.

"Because you have better options, am I right?"

In response to Zhu Xianhai's question, Joanna said.

"Mr. Zhu, you will know everything you need to know after the board meeting."

Joanna put it very tactfully: what you need to know does not mean knowing everything.

“There’s no need to convene a board meeting.”

Looking at the woman who was wary of him, Zhu Xianhai spoke directly.

"I didn't buy this company for the position of chairman. I bought it for the future. Miss Qiao, what do you think its future is?"

Zhu Xianhai put a mobile phone on the table.

"cell phone?"

"Yes, it's the cell phone."

Zhu Xianhai said.

"The first generation of mobile phones used analog circuits, which could only solve the call function at that time. The second generation used digital circuits. With the application of digital circuits, a small chip can replace dozens of analog chips, so mobile phones in the 2G era became smaller and more portable. With the continuous development of digital technology, mobile phones in the 2G era began to become lighter and more practical. Mobile phones began to support new functions such as text messages and multimedia messages. At the same time, mobile phones also began to carry games and music. Many scholars believe that mobile phones will become smaller and smaller in the future. In fact, in the past few years, the smallest mobile phones launched by various companies are only the size of a silver coin..."

The development of mobile phone technology in this world is similar to that in another world. Both have experienced the trend of mobile phones becoming smaller and smaller in the 2G era.

"It seems that this is the trend, getting smaller and smaller."

"But, Miss Qiao, you should know that four years ago, the third generation of mobile communication technology was released. Although the second generation greatly improved the efficiency compared to the first generation, it could not meet people's requirements for picture and video transmission because the second generation network speed could not meet this requirement. The third generation of mobile communication uses a wider frequency band, and the stability of transmission is greatly improved. After ensuring the speed and quality, data transmission is more common and diverse, which means a certain possibility..."

Looking at Joanna who seemed to be thinking about something, Zhu Xianhai said.

"People can browse computer web pages, send and receive emails, make video calls, and even watch live broadcasts directly from their mobile phones. Internet services that were previously only available on computers can now also be used on mobile phones..."

It is indeed possible to do all of this now, but it is only just possible, just like the early 2000s in another world, when current mobile phones can only meet basic requirements because the keyboard input method is not very user-friendly, because there are not so many applications, because... In short, it is still a little bit short.

"Of course, people need a better experience. For example, we can develop a new type of mobile phone to give people a better experience. What do you think?"

“Why a cell phone?”

Joanna looked at Zhu Xianhai with interest and asked.

"Because the mobile phone is the most portable electronic device known to date, everyone needs it. With high-performance chips and hardware, it will no longer be just a phone for voice calls, but a computer that is no less than a personal computer."

Zhu Xianhai answered directly, in fact, the current Ming Dynasty is only one step away from achieving all that, and mobile chip technology is also advancing by leaps and bounds.

“And this will certainly usher in a new era.”
