The rise of the Chaos Intelligent Connected Operating System is undoubtedly like a thick and powerful slap that hits Gu Ge hard on the face.

For this reason, after receiving the comprehensive analysis report of Chaos Operating System, Chairman of Gouge Ellis, his mood was extremely bad. This was the first time he felt extremely angry since he took up this position.

Wu Kangsheng, who had previously concluded that the chaotic system was not effective, obviously could not escape scolding.

"That's what you call immaturity."

"Take your eyes out of your heels and take a closer look. The overall performance of the Chaos Intelligent Connected Operating System has surpassed ours. This is definitely a masterpiece produced through painstaking research and development. It is completely different from the immaturity you say."

"If my guess is correct, the other party releasing this operating system after the buffer period has passed must have done it deliberately."

In the chairman's office, Ellis threw the report in front of Wu Kangsheng. His entire mood was visibly worse than the last time he held a technical meeting.

As for Wu Kangsheng, who was standing upright in front of his desk at the moment, he certainly did not dare to delay and quickly picked up the report and looked at it.

soon.

After having a general understanding, he replied solemnly: "Boss, I underestimated the strength of future technology. I didn't expect that they could improve the performance of this operating system so much."

But maybe it's because of unwillingness.

As soon as he finished speaking, he added two more sentences.

"However, even if the overall performance of Chaos Intelligence exceeds ours, it will not change the entire market pattern if only one mobile phone brand uses it."

"okay."

"You no longer need to participate in this matter. Next, your focus will be on the continuous improvement and upgrading of the artificial intelligence architecture. The future development trend of the industry will be in the field of artificial intelligence, but now there are companies that have established a firm foothold in this field. We It also has to be planned in advance.”

Ellis didn't listen to Wu Kangsheng's words anymore. He took the initiative to interrupt him and arranged for him to return to work in the artificial intelligence research and development department.

Obviously this time he was very angry.

Faced with this situation, Wu Kangsheng wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it again with his lips moving slightly.

Instead, he nodded to show that he knew.

"It's the boss."

As soon as the voice fell, he turned and left the office without staying too long.

Mainly, the powerful performance demonstrated by Chaos Intelligence is enough to prove that it is a very mature mobile operating system. Even if only one brand, Warwick, is currently using it, this fact cannot be changed.

Therefore, no matter what Wu Kangsheng said, it would be in vain and would only affect his impression in Ellis' mind.

The only thing he can do now is to work hard to improve and upgrade the artificial intelligence being developed, and strive to surpass future technology when it is put into use one day.

That's when he will truly prove his mettle.

Let’s talk about Xiaomi.

As the sales of Tamron chip mobile phones continued to rise in the next few days, Xiaomi felt that its flagship phone using Qualcomm's new chip could not be sold. For this reason, Lei Jun had to hold company meetings many times to discuss how to save this company. Dilemma.

After all, in order to occupy the high-end mobile phone market, he had invested so much in this flagship phone. If it did not sell out, the losses would be huge.

"I believe everyone is very clear about our situation now, so today's meeting has only one purpose, and that is whether to lower the sales price of the exclusive version."

Imperial capital.

Xiaomi Technology Headquarters Building.

As Lei Jun finished speaking, the heads of departments sitting on both sides of the core conference room began to discuss in low voices.

But no one responded rashly.

For a product, there are two most common ways to increase its sales.

Either improve the quality or lower the price.

At present, the various configurations of mobile phones have been fixed, and there is obviously no way to change them. The only choice is to focus on the price.

But mobile phones are not cabbage.

Even lowering the price a little requires comprehensive research and analysis.

Not to mention this was when mobile phones were just launched.

It is worth mentioning that when this exclusive version of the phone was designed, its price could only be ranked in the mid-range market. Later, in order to compete with Pingguo in the high-end mobile phone market, the configuration and price were suddenly increased.

It has been on sale for less than ten days now. If the price suddenly drops significantly, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among users who have already purchased it.

Even if appropriate subsidies are provided, it will inevitably lead to a decline in reputation.

However, it is not a problem for mobile phones to be sold for a long time and stored in warehouses.

It was precisely because of these problems that Lei Jun convened this seminar, hoping to come up with a solution to the current predicament.

After about ten seconds of silence, someone took the initiative to stir up the topic and said: "Chairman, although our sales volume is low now, it is not at all to the extent of lowering the price. Moreover, with Tamron chips The quantity is definitely not able to support their long-term unlimited sales.”

The words just fell.

The entire conference room was like a stone thrown into boiling water. Everyone seemed to have found an entry point and spoke in agreement.

"Everyone knows that there are no fabs producing Tamron chips anymore. Just based on Ren Yuanwei's first batch of orders and how many chips he can keep in stock, I'm afraid limited purchases will start in a few days."

"Based on their past procurement standards, Tamron's chip inventory is at most five million. When the number of their chips decreases, it will have no impact on us."

"I agree with that."

"We might as well wait a few days. Without sufficient supply of chips, I believe they will soon be in short supply."

After listening to the words of everyone in the conference room, Lei Jun couldn't help but fall into deep thought. From his heart, he definitely didn't want to reduce the price, because it would also have an impact on the brand's image and be detrimental to future layout and development.

But I have to say that the inventory quantity of Tamron chips is indeed a big advantage for them.

So after careful consideration, I heard him make an immediate decision: "The price reduction is on hold for the time being. As soon as Warwick's flagship phone is announced for sale in limited quantities, we will increase the intensity of gifts and publicity and promotion resources."

"It's the chairman."

With everyone answering in unison, this brief meeting was temporarily over, and the heads of each department returned to their intense work.

However, there is always an unbridgeable gap between ideals and reality. Just when they were waiting for Tamron chip mobile phones to be in short supply and began to be forced to buy in limited quantities, they found that Tamron chips seemed to be inexhaustible. , there was no sign of shortage for several days.

This made Lei Jun's mentality gradually become impatient.

If he could hold on in the first few days, at the end of the month, after Tamron chip phones were still shipped in unlimited quantities, he could no longer remain indifferent.

There was only one complaint left in his mind: "How many Tamron chips did Ren Yuanwei hoard?"

Monday, October 28th.

Twenty days after the exclusive version of the new mobile phone went online, Lei Jun finally announced the first round of price cuts, with the range set at 500 yuan.

Although in order to take care of the sentiment of users who purchased at the original price, the company made up for it by issuing reissued gifts and giving welfare coupons, but it was still difficult to cover up the doubts on the Internet.

"Is there any mistake? The mobile phone I just bought last week has been discounted by 500 yuan this week. How disgusting is this?"

"This wave of price cuts is outrageous."

"Since we knew it wouldn't sell at this price, we shouldn't have ordered it so high in the first place. Now that it's online and the price suddenly dropped, all the enthusiasm of old fans has been wiped out."

"If I had known earlier, I should have bought Warwick's Tamron chip mobile phone. I am really speechless this time."

"If you want to buy it, I suggest you wait. According to my deduction, it is estimated that there will be another wave of decline in a few days."

…

No one expected that the price reduction operation not only failed to improve the sales volume of mobile phones, but also turned users who originally intended to buy mobile phones into waiting parties, thinking of waiting for the price to drop further before purchasing.

Being caught in a vicious cycle, this phone is destined to become a shame in the company's development history.

Compared with various hotly debated events overseas and on the Internet, future technology appears to be very calm at this time.

In addition to dealing with major company matters on a daily basis, Xu Lei spends the rest of his time caring about the construction of the company's headquarters park, and he personally checks many aspects.

Make sure you create the effect you want.

Since the area near Longhu planned by Li Ming is quite suitable for building a park, after Xu Lei's decision and the two parties formally signed the contract, it didn't take long to find a suitable construction team to carry out pre-construction work on this area. tidy.

But Xu Lei's idea is to build the headquarters building in the park into the style of a space battleship like a science and technology museum, which requires a sufficiently skilled architect to be responsible.

For this candidate alone, the company used many connections.

But luckily we found it in the end.

"Mr. Xu, our headquarters building is built right at your feet. I believe it will be selected as a global landmark building when it is completed."

This morning.

Binjiang City.

At the construction site of Future Technology Longhu High-Tech Park, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a helmet was seen holding a hand-drawn design drawing and introducing the details of each building to Xu Lei beside him.

"How can I not believe that Designer Lin can be invited to take action?" Faced with Lin Haishan's words, Xu Lei immediately answered with a smile.

Then his eyes stayed on the design drawings, his eyes full of admiration.

Lin Haishan is a very famous international architectural designer. His works have won many awards. Although he has already announced his retirement, he agreed to Future Technology because he is an old classmate with Yang Senping, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. was invited to design the headquarters building.

Speaking of which, Xu Lei was able to find the other party thanks to Yang Senping's introduction.

However, when Lin Haishan first came to Binjiang City, he only regarded this cooperation as a return of favor, and did not really think about winning awards or anything like that.

It wasn't until he learned about Xu Lei's thoughts on the company's headquarters building that he became very interested and wanted to build a battleship headquarters building that was not inferior to the Pingguo spaceship building.
