Xing Baohua thought about it in his office for a while, then called the Haina branch in Japan and asked them to collect information on digital cameras on the market, whether they were under development or already in production.
If a product comes out, send someone to deliver a few units to him.
Sure enough, they sent back feedback a few hours after I hung up the phone.
Fujifilm has released a new digital camera, which was recently showcased at an exhibition and is scheduled to be released around Christmas.
Xing Baohua listened and told them to try to get one over. He added that faxing data over would also be helpful.
The next day, when Xing Baohua went to work, Xie Yingying handed him a fax paper.
Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be from the R-Japan Haina branch office. There's a time difference of about an hour between them and us; when they start work at eight o'clock, it's only seven o'clock here.
The fax showed the model of the Fujifilm digital camera as Fuji-P1, along with a black and white sample photo. Xing Baohua immediately recognized it as the same sample camera he had received yesterday.
The only difference? I can't see the only difference. If this were to go public, wouldn't it definitely get sued?
So Nikon's bunch of idiots are trying to fool him with Fuji's design? Who would believe it's just a coincidence?
Next, let's look at the specifications. The Fujifilm camera has a resolution of 400,000 pixels and uses Toshiba's 2M solid-state storage technology.
Look at what they've made; this is a real digital camera.
Unfortunately, the 2MB solid-state storage is soldered onto the motherboard and cannot be easily plugged in or removed.
This limits the amount of photos that can be stored in a camera.
Furthermore, storage is limited by the environment. Apart from large institutions, companies, or even the wealthy, it is very difficult for ordinary people to store their goods.
Because computer storage is also limited.
However, there's some merit to using floppy disks for storage, at least they're cheap.
Putting aside the disadvantages of floppy disks, this convenience alone makes them far superior to solid-state storage.
Xing Baohua thought of IBM's small hard drives, which, although having a large capacity, had the disadvantage of being fragile.
Any vibration can cause the magnetic needles inside the hard drive to bend or be damaged, leaving an irreparable mark on the high-speed spinning disk.
The price of a 4GB micro hard drive exceeds the value of a digital camera itself. The two combined could buy hundreds of rolls of film, so why would anyone buy a digital camera?
Xing Baohua walked into the office with a fax paper in his hand, and Chen Shuoyue was already waiting at the door of his office.
Upon seeing Xing Baohua arrive, they quickly greeted him as "General Manager Xing."
Xing Baohua nodded, noticing that the two technicians from yesterday were still following behind him.
His face fell instantly.
He brought them all to the office, and Xing Baohua said to the two technicians from yesterday, "Is this a fax that Japan just sent? What did you two do there? We told you to learn the technology, but did you learn anything? They're trying to fool us, and you can't even tell?"
He then tossed the fax from the Fujifilm camera to the two men to look at.
The two technicians were so frightened by the sample photos that they didn't dare to say a word. Although they weren't in charge of the research and development, it was too late by then.
If we have to start over, all our previous efforts will be wasted, and a lot of manpower and resources will have been squandered.
"Go back and tell them to stop all research and development. I'll send them this book of research ideas and designs. You can go back now!"
After Xing Baohua finished speaking, he turned to Chen Shuoyue and asked, "Where are your things?"
