"Look, Mr. Zhu is proving it right now!" Lu Feng said with a smile.
A burst of laughter erupted in the room, and then the meeting ended.
Lu Feng ultimately didn't agree to the phone-smashing marketing campaign. Times have changed, and people's requirements and ideas about products have also changed. If you actually do something like smashing phones, your competitors will seize the opportunity to promote your high defect rate.
On the last day of October, the factory began trial production. Lu Feng went to the factory to congratulate the first batch of products on rolling off the production line. Liu Cheng also rushed back from Hong Kong. They talked a lot about product design, signal, and display screen.
"What is the failure rate of the display screen's ribbon cable over six months?" Lu Feng asked.
"This is related to the welding process. According to the data we obtained, the defect rate of components such as waveguide cables, buttons, displays, and motherboards is 8% over three months, while the data for Motorola and Nokia is much lower, reportedly less than 5%."
Liu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Our three batches of experimental products, totaling one thousand mobile phones, had a defect rate of about six percent for the wiring within three months. After six months, this figure will increase to eight percent."
"This data is a bit high!" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
“We don’t have the technical expertise in this area. The display cable is purchased from domestic suppliers. It’s cheaper domestically, but it’s easy to burn out. If the voltage is unstable, the screen will burn out as well. We import it from Europe. The reason why our data looks better than Waveguide’s is related to our electronic control system.”
“I heard Mr. Du mention the warranty to me, and my suggestion is a three-month warranty period, which would reduce the expenses.”
Liu Cheng analyzed the probability of damage to various components for Lu Feng from a technical perspective. The number one component was the ribbon cable, even ribbon cables from top international brands could burn out.
"Next year, we'll initiate a project on cable routing and strengthen our research and development in this area. We need to do it well, but not necessarily the best," Lu Feng instructed.
Liu Cheng nodded to indicate that he understood. The price of mobile phones has been squeezed so much now that the sale of accessories is the main source of profit. A mobile phone is designed with a lot of considerations from the beginning, including market positioning, suppliers, and lifespan. If a mobile phone is used for so many years, who will buy it after that?
When the first mobile phone was assembled and officially rolled off the assembly line, applause rang out, and firecrackers and fireworks were set off outside the factory area.
Lu Feng invited a group of media outlets to record this moment.
"The first Giti phone has officially rolled off the production line." Lu Feng held up the silver phone to show the media, then flipped it open to reveal the user interface.
"Now I'm using it to make my first call." Lu Feng inserted the SIM card and dialed Mayor Zhang's number. After the call connected, Lu Feng said, "Hello Mayor Zhang, the first mobile phone in Jiatong Industrial Park has officially rolled off the production line. I'm using it to talk to you."
Congratulations!
Amid applause, Lu Feng exchanged a few polite words and hung up the phone, then addressed the crowd: "The sound is exceptionally clear and bright; we have an absolute technological advantage in digital decoding!"
That evening, Lu Feng appeared on the evening news again, introducing the first Giti mobile phone. His introduction stated that this represented the booming development of the domestic electronics industry, marking a new stage and the beginning of a new journey.
Giti's mass production has laid a solid foundation for the upcoming Information Industry Conference. Ever since Hurricane Capital prepared to make mobile phones, it has been making headlines in various media every few days. Many people in the industry say privately that Lu Feng is a man who lives in the headlines.
Now that it's in mass production, what kind of trouble can it cause and make the news?
If another news story comes out, I'm afraid it'll be about substandard product quality, right?
The next morning, Lu Feng arrived at the venue around 9 a.m. and changed his phone from Nokia to Giti. Groups of three or five people gathered in the lounge. This time, there were not only mobile phone manufacturers, but also various suppliers.
Although it is ostensibly a conference to discuss electronics, information, and communications, everyone knows that it is essentially an exchange meeting.
Many distributors even attend, and some have already prepared teams to intercept them, providing them with the best hotels, food, drinks, and entertainment, all in the name of abandoning other brands and selling their own products.
At the meeting the day before yesterday, Lu Feng had already instructed Zhu Lidong to prepare the team. Today, he was responsible for attracting the media on stage, while President Zhu was responsible for winning over the major distributors below!
