The fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
Meizu, a Chinese company, officially released the Meizu M8, the first smartphone in China.
This news immediately made headlines in major news outlets.
As the largest MP3 manufacturer in China, CEO Huang Zhang decided to make smartphones to break into the market. It has to be said that he was quite courageous.
In fact, there are already many domestic mobile phone manufacturers in China in the past two years. The simplest way is to use the solution from MediaTek to make mobile phones. This is the simplest and most direct solution. For example, the very popular Tianyu mobile phone did this.
But Huang Zhang was very arrogant and felt that this ready-made solution did not suit his personality.
He plans to personally lead the team to develop a truly domestically made mobile phone.
You know what, he really made it into a mess.
The phone is equipped with a 3.4-inch ultra-large touch screen, uses the Mmobile operating system based on the Windows CE 6.0 kernel, supports multi-touch operation, has a screen resolution of 480×720 pixels, and a rear 3-megapixel high-definition camera, which fully meets daily photo needs.
On the day of the launch of Meizu M8, thousands of people lined up to buy it in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Hongfan Electronic Technology.
The office of the machine research and development center.
Chen Fan is presiding over the meeting.
In addition to the company's senior management, there was also a group of R&D experts attending the meeting.
On the table in front of them were a few newly purchased Meizu M8s.
We are all gathered together now to study this machine together.
Chen Fan also had a Meizu M8 in his home, but after fiddling with it for a while, he lost interest in it.
From a future perspective, this phone naturally has no advantages.
But in 2009, the appearance of this phone was already a miracle.
Chen Fan knew that in the next few months, this phone was in short supply. In just two months after its launch, sales had reached 100,000 units. In just five months, sales had exceeded 500 million yuan.
Create a real miracle.
But Chen Fan also knows that in the future smartphone market, Meizu will be the last one to fall behind.
There are many reasons why Meizu eventually fell behind, but they can be summarized into those few points.
In the future, the smartphone market will be highly competitive. The company's top management made strategic mistakes and later adopted a strategy of launching a large number of smartphones in order to compete with Xiaomi. It even released 14 low-priced smartphones in one year. This caused a serious decline in product quality and reputation.
Of course, there are also problems such as unreasonable pricing strategies and chaotic internal management.
Meizu is a typical example of getting up early and arriving late.
In fact, several other brands of mobile phones will be launched in China this year, such as Lenovo's Lephone, Dopod's Touch HD, Huawei's U8220, Oupo's Real T5, Coolpad N930...
This year, it was a big explosion of domestic smart phones.
For Hongfan Electronic Technology, it is both a challenge and an opportunity.
Chen Fan put down the Meizu M8 in his hand and looked up at the group of people in the office in front of him.
"You have also experienced it, what do you think?"
The group looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak. It seems like I don't know how to say it.
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Qingci, the company's vice president who was sitting next to Chen Fan.
Bai Qingci coughed lightly and put down the phone.
"Let me tell you about it."
"I think this machine has many highlights and there are many things worth learning and studying. But..."
"Compared to the prototype we have developed so far...it is far inferior."
"I think the advantages of the machine we developed are more obvious."
Chen Fan took a look at the white celadon, then took out a black-shelled mobile phone from a box next to it.
This phone is the first prototype currently developed by a large group of experts and R&D personnel in related fields at the Hongfan Electronic Technology Computer R&D Center after nearly two years of hard work.
Chen Fan simply fiddled with the prototype on the screen.
I looked up at the group of R&D personnel opposite me.
"What do you think?"
One of the more prestigious experts coughed lightly and prepared to speak.
People who work in R&D tend to speak more directly.
"I think the phone we developed ourselves is way ahead of the Meizu M8."
"We use a 4-inch screen with a resolution of 480x854 pixels and the best organic glass on the market."
"In addition, we use our own developed and modified Android system, which runs much more smoothly than their phones."
"Also, we use a 300,000-megapixel front camera and a 5-megapixel rear camera, while the other party only has a 3.2-megapixel rear camera."
"As for other aspects, whether it's memory or battery capacity, ours is far superior to the other party's."
After the expert finished speaking, someone immediately added something.
"We also have an advantage in appearance design. We use a straight-screen full-touch screen design, a metal frame, and a physical return button. Both the appearance and practicality are far ahead of the competition."
"Our phones also support Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections."
"Boss, if the other party's phone has caused such a sensation, I think our phone will also cause a sensation once it is released."
"That's right. Personally, I think our phone is at least two generations ahead of the Meizu M8."
After seeing the opportunities of competitors going public, the people present were not anxious at all, but became more confident.
That's right, Chen Fan invested nearly 10 billion yuan and hired the country's top R&D experts and teams at high salaries.
If they can't make a market-leading machine after spending so much money, then they really have no face to receive such a high salary.
After Chen Fan and the others' excited discussion ended, he nodded with a smile.
"Your analysis is good."
"I personally think that what everyone said makes sense. But..."
"Don't be complacent. We still have to remain humble."
Seeing the boss's affirmation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started laughing one by one.
That's what it is.
During the development of this machine, Chen Fan provided a lot of ideas. In view of the limitations of the current level of hardware development, most of Chen Fan's suggestions were about design or appearance.
Don't underestimate these suggestions. Once designed, they can really cause a dimensionality reduction attack.
He turned his head and looked at Bai Qingci beside him.
"Given the current production, when will the first batch of production machines be officially put into production?"
Bai Qingci has been immersed in the research and development of machines all this time and is very familiar with these things.
Suo directly replied: "Once the relevant materials are in place, we can start mass production next month."
"However, given that our current machine production workshop is not large, the initial production will not be too large."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The production is limited in the early stage, so we can just test the market feedback."
"Once the market response is good, we can look for OEM cooperation."
At this time, Bai Qingci asked: "When are you going to release our first mobile phone?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing."
"Since the smartphone market is so lively today, why don't we join in the fun?"
"Next month."
"Hongfan Electronic Technology officially released our first Android smartphone."
