Chapter 77: Redefine Cell Phones Starting Today!

Chen Yang posted more than 3,000 hiring positions this time.

It seems like a lot, but it really isn't.

He wants to turn Pear into the world's No. 1 technology company. Based on this scale, Pear will have more than 100,000 employees in the future.

What he needs to do now is to create several departments related to cell phones.

Then, the core technology was taken out step by step, and in the role of decision maker and director of operations, guidance was provided to guide them in improving the technology and developing the first cell phone within a month.

Once the mobile phone department is up and running and starts making a profit, he will continue to develop other products and gradually transform Pear into a closed-loop company with the entire industry chain.

He opened the mailbox and the resumes started arriving.

Most are in their thirties, and some in their forties.

That's what he needs most.

At this age, they have enough experience and also have their own ideas.

Furthermore, almost all of these candidates have experience working in large factories.

Chen Yang sent the email - to respond.

Programmers who submitted their resumes also received responses one after another.

When they saw their resumes approved, they were very excited.

Naturally, some large domestic manufacturers also noticed.

But he didn't take it very seriously.

With more than a thousand vacancies, what can these people do?

It's actually a good thing for them.

There are a limited number of jobs available in the country, and there is a serious talent surplus. It would be good for Yan Guo to help share some of the pressure.

Five days later, at Pear.

All personnel are on site and are currently sitting at their desks familiarizing themselves with the work content.

To be honest, when they saw the Pear building, they were a little disappointed.

Large international companies basically have their own office buildings.

Even many smaller mobile phone companies in China rent buildings, even if they don't have their own office buildings.

Without exaggeration, there are several floors.

But Pear's office is very small.

It only has six floors in total and the decor is very simple.

Compared to the places they have worked before, there is still a big gap in their hearts.

"Come to the meeting room for a meeting in ten minutes."

The head of the department came over and told a group of systems architects.

After he left, the programmers started talking to each other.

They are quite curious about what kind of cell phone Pear plans to make.

What will be the positioning of the product, high or low?

"I think we should focus on the low-cost market, which is easier to conquer."

"The problem is that the cost is high."

"Assembly is not a big problem, but if you want to capture this market, the performance needs to be improved. However, the cost will increase if the performance is improved. I can't even imagine what the profit will be."

"If this were done in our country, the profits would still be considerable."

"But in Yan Guo... If you enter the low-cost market, the profits will be very small, if any."

Ten minutes passed quickly and they headed to the meeting room.

The meeting room is large enough to accommodate more than 300 people, and the participants are mainly systems architects.

They need to follow the director of operations' ideas to determine the operating system research center.

For them, this is very simple. After all, current mobile operating systems are basically built on Android.

After all, if you want to develop a new operating system on your own, both the research and development costs and the time are daunting.

Upon entering the meeting room, everyone saw Chen Yang.

Before they arrived, they heard that the CEO of this company was Chen Yang.

At this point, they actually have some ideas.

As men of science and engineering, they believe that professional matters should be left to professionals.

You, a king, have come to be the CEO of a technology company. The question is, do you understand?

Of course, they just complain in their hearts and don't speak out loud.

After everyone arrived, Chen Yang looked around and said, "Everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

Chen Yang opened the large screen behind him. On the screen was a demonstration animation of a mobile phone, mainly an operating system demonstration.

Chen Yang said from the side: "The company's next mobile phones will independently develop a new operating system. The current operating system structure has already been finalized..."

Looking at the demo animation and listening to what Chen Yang said, the programmers were a little confused.

Not using the existing system?

Develop a new system on your own?

Also, is it almost developed?

This is a joke?

They looked at the operating system disguised by the animation, and the more they looked, the more surprised they were.

This operating system... is a little incredible!

They had never seen such a fluid and smooth system.

It is completely different from the cell phone operating systems currently on the market.

Although they have not yet personally experienced it, judging from the animation demonstration effect, if such a system can be developed, it will definitely surpass all mobile phones currently on the market!

The only problem they face is the existing system!

All apps on the market are now built on top of Android. Even if someone buys this phone, he will not be able to use the related software.

This is the most fatal problem with the new system.

Unless cell phone sales increase, large companies will not develop software based on the new system.

In short, they think this company is crazy, Chen Yang is crazy, and all of Yan Guo is crazy!

The cell phone they want to make is not an assembled cell phone, but a completely new cell phone from scratch!

This behavior is really crazy!

If a company does this, it's understandable.

Entrepreneurs are crazy and think they are the chosen ones.

But as a company that directly controls the country, shouldn't its main goal be to make money?

Even if you make an assembled cell phone, you can be sure that it will be sold. It's just a matter of earning more or less.

But the cell phone operating system you build is independent.

Once this type of cell phone is made, there are only two possibilities.

Or run out of stock.

Or go bankrupt.

After the meeting, Chen Yang left directly.

Pear's senior executives are all on your team, and what these new programmers need to do is pretty simple.

Listen to executives and follow the general direction of the company.

And participate appropriately.

That's enough.

After the programmers returned to their positions, employees from other positions curiously asked, "What was said in the meeting?"

The programmer was still a little shy at this time. Upon hearing this, he looked up and said, "Yan Guo is crazy."

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"Yan Guo is going to build an entirely new operating system!"

"Totally new?"

"Impossible."

"Isn't it based on Android?"

"No, it's a completely new system! The programming language used is even new, it's called Objective-C, I've never heard of it."

"Objective-C? What programming language is that?"

"It's a bit similar to the C language, but the underlying logic is completely different. I can't explain it to you. In short... it's amazing!"

"Isn't that too much?"

"It will take at least several years to complete this kind of system, right? And we don't have enough people in our company."

"No, the system structure has already been made!"

"Has it been done? How far has it been done?"

"It's almost ready."

"Truth or lie?"

"True!"

….

This meeting caused a great shock to these new programmers.

In the field of cell phones that has almost reached its maximum limit, it is very difficult to innovate.

But Pear really innovated in cell phones!

It is no exaggeration to say that, once the cell phone designed by Pear is actually developed and launched on the market, it will redefine the concept of cell phones!

Time passes day by day.

Programmers are already familiar with this work.

At the same time, the more they come into contact with the project, the more they learn about Pear's first cell phone.

And the more they know about it, the more they realize how amazing this phone is!

In their spare time, they also access national and foreign websites to publish information about the development of Pear's new cell phone.

Comments were full of praise for the new phone.

"The iPhone is the most perfect phone I have ever seen!"

"Once Pear's cell phone comes out, it will definitely redefine cell phones!"

"Pear cell phones will become Yan Guo's pillar industry!"

"Pear will definitely have a place among the 500 largest companies in the world!"

At first, these comments didn't attract much attention.

They are just ordinary programmers. They don't get much attention on the internet, and few people care what they post.

Things changed for the better a week later.

Because they saw furniture factories, farms and fishermen earning extra money by live streaming every day, and they also saw that Cheng Wei had more than a million views every time he went live.

These programmers were also inspired.

So they also started doing live streams after work.

Showing Yan City and heading to the port.

After several days of live broadcasts, supported by Yan Guo's huge traffic, many programmers also gained hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans.

As a result, his daily comments on Pear's cell phone also attracted the attention of more and more people.

And it became a trend several times.

"It's so exciting, I'm really looking forward to it."

"Reset cell phones? That's way over the top."

"Isn't it just assembling cell phones? I can do that if I have the money."

"We agreed to have a new phone in two months, and it's still a month and a half away. I'm waiting."

Meeting room.

Wu Pinyan's group is discussing.

"Yan Guo has actually started to develop other industries."

"I didn't really expect him to choose cellphones. I thought he would continue to expand the fishery."

"Instead of making cell phones, it's better to make cars."

"The cost of building a car is high and the cycle is long. It's not as good as a cell phone."

"But the cell phone market is not that easy to conquer."

From the first day Chen Yang announced that he would make a cell phone, they were not optimistic.

But if you think about it, it seems that no matter which industry Yan Guo enters, there is not much difference.

Their biggest concern is the steel industry.

In their view, as long as Yan Guo's steel mills enter production, they will make much more money than mobile phones and will be more stable at the same time.

After all, they master the core technology.

Wu Pinyan said, "Yan Guo is a little anxious."

Yes, in his opinion, Yan Guo's operation was extremely anxious.

Even if they want to develop the industry, they need to at least wait until the steel mills are put into production.

With an industrial base, the cost of manufacturing cell phones can also be reduced.

However, the other party has already started to do this, and they, the spectator group, cannot criticize.

Desk.

"The capital of Yan Guo, Shanghai and Hong Kong."

"Boston, New York, USA and"

"Tokyo, Japan."

"South Korea."

"London, England..."

Here, Chen Yang continued typing the city names one after another.

Manufacturing cell phones is just the first step.

Cell phones are manufactured and sold.

According to the current mainstream method, it is generally conducted online and offline at the same time.

The main function of offline physical stores is not to sell cell phones, but to allow users to try cell phones.

Otherwise, no matter how good the promotional video is, it won't do any good because people won't know how to use your phone.

Pear's own stores will be opened in these cities selected by Chen Yang.

These are international cities, and the experience of people in these cities will be disseminated directly to the whole world.

After confirmation, Chen Yang began to organize sending people to major cities to select specific locations.

At the same time, he also purchased the design plans of Pear's own stores.

He did not design it on his own initiative. For this company to achieve such impressive results in the parallel world, there must be something special about it.

Even if he acquired relevant skills, he didn't think that the own store he designed could match the effect that others had already gained market recognition.

On the thirteenth day, all sites in the city were selected and leases signed.

On the same day, company-owned store locations in major cities began to be renovated.

Day 15.

Chen Yang contacted a company in China that specialized in battery manufacturing, wanting to customize batteries for the Pear.

Day 17.

Chen Yang contacted TSMC and started customizing chips.

19th day.

Chen Yang contacted Starlight Company to customize the screen.

The screen he requested was superior to the screen specifications of all cell phone manufacturers currently on the market, and he had extremely high requirements for the technology.

Starlight Company refused at first, but Chen Yang offered a lot.

Day 23.

Chen Yang contacted China Fukang Group and signed an OEM contract.

At this point, all mobile phone accessory suppliers have been finalized.

Now is just wait.

Day 38, December 17th.

The renovation of Pear's first company-owned store has been completed.

This company-owned store is located at No. 999 Huaihai Central Street, Xuhui District, Shanghai, China, with two floors.

At first, people nearby didn't know what kind of company this was.

Some onlookers took a look and were surprised to discover that it was Yan Guo Country's Pear.

For a time, Pear became a popular research topic.

"Pear's first own store opened!"

"Did they open so quickly?"

"It's only been a month, is the store open yet?"

"Where it is?"

"Shanghai"

"The facade is covered. You can only see the logo, and nothing else."

"Suddenly there is something to look forward to."

"What do you expect from an assembled cell phone?"

December 22nd.

Company-owned stores in various cities, including Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo, have been renovated one after another, once again becoming a hot topic in searches.

And it caused a lot of discussion on the internet in several countries.

On December 25, the last flagship store in London was also renovated.

During this period, Pear Yan Guo's popularity barely dropped from the most popular searches.

Day 52, December 31st.

Chen Yang posted a video on social media, saying that Pear's first cell phone has been produced and will be officially launched on January 1st!

"Damn, so fast?"

"It's been less than two months and it's done?"

"But it shouldn't be an assembled cell phone, that wouldn't make sense."

"It takes less than two months. It can only be an assembled cell phone, so don't have high expectations."

"Cell phones are really meaningless these days. They have no use other than making calls and sending messages."

"For 276 dollars each, I support you!"

Right now, at Pear.

All programmers involved in research and development now have an iPhone.

They looked at the cell phones in their hands, and their hearts were filled with shock.

They had never seen a phone like this.

Rounded corners, all-glass back panel, full screen.

Furthermore, the unlocking method of this phone is actually facial recognition unlocking.

You know, all current cell phones are unlocked by fingerprint.

And the smoothness of the operating system makes them unreal.

The biggest highlight of this phone is its independently developed operating system, unmatched by any phone on the market.

The second is the overall design of the phone's appearance.

The appearance of this phone is extremely simple, making people feel beautiful and simple!

However, the shortcomings are equally obvious.

A standalone operating system is not compatible with any current software.

Therefore, they are not very sure if there is a market for this type of cell phone.

Chen Yang has no worries in this regard.

In his opinion, there is no cell phone in today's mobile phone industry that compares to this one.

Sales volume is definitely not an issue.

As for the software they are concerned about, that's not even a problem.

As long as sales increase, large companies will naturally develop compatible software.
