Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 383 I don’t produce mobile phones, I’m just a porter of ideas
Even if Chen Hao doesn't understand specific mobile phone technology, he knows that some prototypes, such as curved screens and folding screens, cannot be satisfied with current technology.

After selecting, deleting and subtracting, only the three original ones were left. He threw all the other manuscript papers into the shredder.

Even so, there are still many problems.

Whether the battery can be removed, the placement of the volume button and on/off button, whether there are physical buttons, and whether the phone frame is at right angles or rounded.
Chen Hao originally thought it was a simple matter, but the more he thought about the details, the more details he found, and he fell into difficulty in making a choice.

And there are no professionals around to give professional reference opinions, which is quite distressing.

Mobile phone batteries in later generations were not removable, but now all mobile phone batteries are removable and replaceable, and there is no battery anxiety.

Why did it gradually develop like this?There must be a reason.

Sure enough, the lines were like mountains. Chen Hao took the prototype and fell into deep thought.

dong dong dong,
Zhu Xu knocked on the door and came in, "Boss, the materials you want!"

Chen Hao looked at the responsibilities of each position in the mobile phone field and found them to be well detailed. The last item of each position stated that those with more than three years of work experience would be given priority and would receive preferential treatment.

The bottom also lists the current salary packages on the market and gives a reference range. It even comes with a market trend of some senior people in the mobile phone industry, and provides analysis and suggestions on the corresponding poaching costs.

"Very good. I'll say hello to the human resources department later. You can send the information and we'll find a headhunter at the same time."

In addition to this, Zhu Xu also submitted other business reports that required Chen Hao's signature.

Chen Hao read the content and signed if there were no questions.

Wait for the other person to go out.

Chen Hao continued to work on his prototype project.

In the following time, Lei Jun and his two hired confidants negotiated and communicated with all kinds of monsters and ghosts for various components of the Orange mobile phone, running around the world.

Luo Yonghao combined the operating interfaces of smartphones currently on the market with his imagination, thinking about the interaction between user boundaries.

Discussing the technical possibilities with Wang Yin, I pondered for a long time if one path didn't work, then tried another path.

But he spent most of his time with Chen Hao discussing interaction design at the mobile operating system level, and spent most of the day in Chen Hao's office.

Not only did he argue with him, he was thinking about things beside him and mumbling to himself.

Chen Hao knew that Lao Luo could speak, but he didn't know that he could speak so well. Chen Hao was so annoyed that he even said to Lao Luo, "Keep your voice down, you'll make me think about the prototype."

Lao Luo talked with Chen Hao about interaction and experience, and Chen Hao talked with Lao Luo about prototypes.

"One key is definitely the most concise and elegant. Are three keys redundant?"

"How can one button control confirmation/send, return/cancel, return to the home page, etc.? At least 3 buttons are required!"

"Why can't one key achieve the desired effect? ​​Press it lightly, press it hard, double-click it, or hold it for a certain period of time to achieve the desired effect. Depending on the situation, I would like to cancel the physical keys."

"." Lao Luo scratched his head, unconsciously.

"Where is the volume button? Is it on the top? On the left or on the right?"

"The power on/off and volume buttons are placed on the right side."

"Why not the other way around, or maybe put them on one side?"

"Think about it, which usage scenario is most frequent? It must be turning on and off the phone. And the left-handers I just checked account for only 10% of the total population. We need to consider the usage scenarios of most people! It's so convenient to reach it with your right thumb."

"I thought of deleting the program. You can press and hold until a cross appears in the upper right corner. Click on it and a confirmation box will pop up and then delete it."

"It would be better to add some dynamic effects. For example, the program is constantly shaking, as if it is trembling because it has a premonition that it may be deleted?"

"Boss, you are a fucking genius, but you have to ask Wang Shitou if he can realize it."

From the appearance prototype of the mobile phone to the interaction and use of the operating system, every detail can cause disputes between the two.Zhu Xu's office is next to the chairman's office. Recently, he has heard arguments coming from next door from time to time. No, it might be more accurate to say it was an argument.

If the sound suddenly disappears, then either the two of them went to eat, or one of them went to the toilet.

Sometimes she went in to find her boss to sign some documents, and she saw manuscript papers flying around the room, and two technicians sitting and arguing, and her face turned red.

Although the boss looks tall, she can't stand Teacher Luo because she is fat. She is worried that if the two of them fight, the boss will suffer.

A few days later, Zhu Xu found that the quarrels next door had disappeared, and it was mostly the boss talking loudly. Maybe they had made some progress in seeking common ground while reserving differences, she guessed.

A week later
The Orange mobile phone and system prototype were finally released after a long period of "friendly communication" between Chen Hao and Luo Yonghao.

Chen Hao almost cried. Under his tireless teachings, Lao Luo was finally able to start teaching.

When Lei Jun came back from his travels, he saw the prototype of Orange's first mobile phone.

In the screen PPT, there is a rectangular mobile phone with rounded corners. The front is a large screen. There is only an earpiece on the top and a round button with a silver edge below. There are no messy buttons or bells and whistles. The sliding, folding, rotating and other designs focus on simplicity and elegance!

The front is simple, and the back is even simpler. There is only a camera at the top and an orange-shaped logo in the middle, and then nothing else.

Top bezel antenna, 3.5mm jack, bottom charging port, microphone.

The volume and mute shortcut paddles are on the left, and the power switch and mobile phone card slot are on the right.

After looking at the mobile phone prototype, the next step is to show the operating system prototype.

Lei Jun saw Chen Hao smile slightly, and then saw the phone screen light up in the picture.

Many rounded rectangular applications are neatly arranged on the page, which is very spectacular against the background photos of mountains and flowing water.

Although he had the previous sketch as a basis, Lei Jun, who had experienced countless shopping malls, was still shocked that he couldn't hide it. Everything looked so harmonious and perfect.

At the same time, he also felt unprecedented pressure, and he knew that the price behind the simpler technology would be extremely huge.

Seeing the rare shocked expressions of Lei Jun and Wang Yin, Chen Hao and Lao Luo looked at each other and smiled. At least their goal was achieved.

Then various interactive special effects were demonstrated.

Chen Hao pointed back, "This is the phone I want!"

Lei Jun was a little excited, "This is what I want to do. Maybe we will really create a new era of mobile phones!"

Chen Hao nodded and imitated Brother Biao and said, "It's necessary!"

Wang Yin looked proud and his eyes were fiery, "It's interesting to have challenges, otherwise we won't be able to show our capabilities. But boss, you need to negotiate with Nokia. Commercial use of the Symbian system requires the other party's authorization."

Chen Hao gestured OK, "Leave this to me."

"You are making good progress, and I can't let you down." Lei Jun said about his gains during this period.

Because it is a start-up company with a low reputation, some first-tier manufacturers disdain to cooperate. At first, Lei Jun encountered obstacles everywhere.

Then Chen Hao heard about the situation on Lei Jun's side, and immediately asked Li Fang to send out elite soldiers from the Century Vientiane Relations Department.
Lei Jun was not fooling around all these years, and then he changed his strategy. With the aura of wine, sex, and wealth, although Orange Technology was not well-known, he couldn't bear the amount he wanted. People are stupid and have money to take good care of them. The subsequent negotiations were unstoppable.

One day, after Lei Jun got drunk, he shared his experience with Chen Hao. Who the hell said that foreigners don't care about relationships, so they still won!
In the past month, major domestic and foreign suppliers have negotiated 80% of the total, and the rest are still in contact and negotiation.

Chen Hao comforted, "It's already pretty good. The rest is one step at a time and take your time! There are always more solutions than difficulties."

Lei Jun suddenly thought of a question, "Have these prototypes been patented?"

As soon as Chen Hao patted his head, I said that he seemed to have forgotten something.
Patents are a great weapon!
