#18 - Festival: Star Series

Polycarbonate is actually an engineering plastic. This material has many advantages, such as being inexpensive, easy to mold, extremely easy to dye, and does not block signals.

But plastic is plastic. It's not only filled with a cheap feeling, but the feel is also not good. Lu Haifeng knew that the research institute was saving costs according to his requirements.

He didn't intend to make it a high-profit product in the first place. These two models are meant to move volume and seize the low-to-mid-end market. Low cost is certainly important, but its performance can't be too garbage. Looking at the brand new design, Lu Haifeng felt that he had achieved what he wanted. Although it looked a bit ugly, it was worth it because of the cheap price.

"Old Zhang, come over here. This is the new machine design. This time, the low-to-mid-end phones will not be included in the Hongmeng series."

"Instead, a new Huaxing subsidiary will be established, called Huaxing Xingchen Technology, and these two are the Hongmeng Xingchen M1 and Hongmeng Xingchen Q1. After debugging, they can be put into production," Lu Haifeng said.

"Then how many units should be produced?" Zhang Yu asked with disdain.

"How many units of the Hongmeng series have been produced?"

"About ten million units of the Hongmeng flagship X1 have already been produced, and about five million units of the Hongmeng S1R have been produced."

"Then put this aside for now. Before the launch event, produce twenty million units of the Hongmeng flagship X1 and ten million units of the Hongmeng S1R. Produce the Xingchen series when there's time," Lu Haifeng replied.

The Xingchen series, this is the code name Lu Haifeng gave to the low-to-mid-end series machines under his command.

Hongmeng diverges, and stars fill the firmament.

The stars are the source of light in the universe, and their number is also the most numerous. This is similar to the low-to-mid-end consumer group, which accounts for the largest proportion of mobile phone users.

The light emitted by each person can only shine on a very small place, but they are all dazzling individuals, an indispensable force in this era. The word Xingchen (stars) is the most appropriate.

"Okay, then I'll go make arrangements, President Lu," Zhang Yu replied.

Lu Haifeng was speechless when he saw that Zhang Yu also disliked these two phones. They were too ugly, and he was embarrassed to put them in the Huaxing Hongmeng series.

The company still needs more talent, not only programmers, but also professionals in art design and composite materials. He is still too reliant on the system store and system tool people. It seems that he needs to cultivate a group of talents, instead of letting the system tool people do everything.

Making mobile phones not only requires programmers to program system upgrades, but also requires hardware polishing, design in terms of mobile phone appearance, and breakthroughs in mobile phone back cover materials and middle frames.

Cultivating art design is firstly to be able to design a more aesthetically pleasing mobile phone appearance for his company's mobile phones, and also to beautify the operating system. For example, mobile phone wallpapers and mobile phone themes all require art design. Unlike the Hongmeng S1, which only has a dozen wallpapers, all of these require art design.

In the future, talents in materials science will also be an indispensable step. What kind of shell should the mobile phone use to maintain the phone's sturdiness and feel, including the underlying architecture materials of the motherboard, heat dissipation materials, and so on.

The current smartphone market has just started, and there is still a certain gap compared to the future mobile phone market. The comparison of smartphones in three or four years will be very simple. High-end compares processor chips, and low-to-mid-end compares cameras, screens, and fast charging.

Of course, after three or four years, the development of smartphones will reach a mature stage, and naturally, component parameters will need to be compared.

Now is the initial stage of smartphone development. When users choose a mobile phone, they often consider: whether the mobile phone is durable, whether the mobile phone is smooth, whether the mobile phone experience is good, whether the quality is good, whether the price is cheap, and whether it can be bought nearby.

Of course, in the early stage of smartphone development, the mainstream users' choice of phones is these. There is not much emphasis on mobile phone parameters.

Even if it is a good mobile phone, it is useless without enough offline stores. Nowadays, most people are still used to buying in offline stores.

This is why Ou and Wei, the two major mobile phone manufacturers, can occupy the market share so quickly.

After all, Ou and Wei are domestic mobile phone manufacturers that have their own independent processing plants, and they also have enough offline stores.

The requirements for mobile phone quality are very high. In addition, Ou and Wei mobile phones have also put a lot of effort into design. They have the most unique design among domestic mobile phones. The only domestic mobile phone that can compete with them is Lan Zu. Of course, Hammer in the future will also be considered half.

Durable mobile phones, cheap mobile phones, worry-free after-sales service, coupled with overwhelming publicity, have allowed Ou and Wei to occupy enough market share.

And now, Huaxing Company has enough offline stores, technology, low cost, and performance. Few domestic mobile phone manufacturers can compete with them. It's just that the design is a bit lacking.

Huaxing Company is frantically producing new phones, sending the produced new phones to direct stores and franchise stores in major cities across the country. At this moment, without any warning, Huaxing suddenly announced that it will hold a new product launch event on September 26.

The reason why it is said to be without warning is because before this, there was no relevant information circulating online. The news that Huaxing was going to release a new phone seemed to have popped out of a crack in a rock.

After seeing this news, many netizens were stunned for a moment, and some even thought it was a rumor from who knows where.

They didn't quite believe it. When more and more people logged into the Huaxing official website, they really saw the announcement of the upcoming Huaxing flagship phone posted on the official website.

As soon as this announcement came out, the users who saw it were stunned for a moment. What is a flagship phone?

It was precisely because users had this doubt that they became even more interested in the upcoming flagship phone.

Huaxing is the most popular and talked-about company on the Internet right now, and the news that they are about to release a new phone has quickly spread to every corner.

"I understand 'flagship', and I also understand 'phone', but when they are connected together, I don't understand. What is a flagship phone?"

"According to the Chinese explanation, 'flagship' refers to the command ship of a fleet, so I guess this is a machine that commands mobile phones, haha."

"Upstairs, stop being a smart aleck. This joke is not funny at all. Let's discuss what a flagship phone is."

"Yes, I'm so curious. I want to buy the Hongmeng S1, and I also want to buy the flagship phone. Now I don't know which one is better. The official hasn't released any information, it's killing me."

"Since you want to buy the Huaxing Hongmeng S1, then your budget certainly won't be much. Since that's the case, I advise you not to wait and see. If you have the chance, just directly buy the Huaxing Hongmeng S1. The Huaxing Hongmeng S1 hasn't been sold for three or four weeks now."
