Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 2649: DreamPad three

Since the fairy smart bracelet will not get enough curved liquid crystal glass until the end of the year, according to Xiao Qi's personality, it is absolutely impossible to launch it on the market now.

Coupled with the purchase and debugging of various equipment, the workers of the Fairy Fourth Factory transferred from the Fairy Three Factory need time to adapt to the assembly, so they can not enter mass production until January, and can only mass-produce them in February. .

After paying, wait two or three months to get the goods, which is a bit of a tease to consumers.

Therefore, Xiao Qi decided to wait until the Spring Festival next year before releasing this fairy smart bracelet, which is considered to be separated from the new generation of Dreampad at the end of December.

The workers in the three factories of the Fairy Company produced limited editions of dreampad, dreamstars and dream. Now they have fully adapted to their work, so temporarily mobilizing 3,000 people to form the Fairy Fourth Factory is no problem at all.

The workers of the Fairy Fourth Factory only make fairy smart bracelets, which is naturally very wasteful. The sales of fairy smart bracelets alone are not necessary at all. It is better to give them to the foundry to make them.

The main reason why Xiao Qi wanted to build the fourth fairy factory was to put it on the next fairy watch.

The fairy watch is actually an upgraded version of the fairy smart bracelet, but there is a lot of room for manipulation, and it can be sold as a luxury smart watch, and the price can be produced from thousands to tens of thousands.

After the fairy watch comes out, the fairy smart bracelet is either retired, or it is produced by the foundry and sold as a low-end smart wearable device.

From now on, we will train workers to assemble smart wearable devices, and they will not be confused when the fairy watches are officially released in the future.

After all, these most profitable electronic products. It’s better to make it yourself, because it represents the face of the Fairy Company, and the quality must be absolutely checked.

Before you know it, dreampad is about to develop to the third generation.

Xiao Qi attaches great importance to this smart tablet computer, which has given the Fairy Company a great start. Originally, he rarely interferes with the development of subsequent new models in the laboratory. But on the dreampad3, there are still many "demanding" requirements.

On the basis of dreampad2, dreampad3 is lighter and thinner by 1mm, but don’t underestimate this small one millimeter. On the basis of less than 10mm, it is actually lighter and thinner by 1mm, which is a test of designers’ expertise in parts, shells, etc. Accurately designed, not only the battery should be thinner, the shell should be lighter and thinner, even the chip and circuit board should be lighter and thinner. The combination can meet the requirements.

With such a thin and light change, the weight of the dreampad3 is only about 620 grams.

In terms of resolution, the current mainstream mobile phone resolution is not too high, the dreampad768 resolution is still out of date, but Xiao Qi still increased to 1800 resolution, the screen pixel density reached, and a little less grainy than the dreampad2, soft and delicate The degree is higher.

The specific changes in configuration are not significant. 1gb of running memory, 16gb, 32gb, 64gb of flash memory space. And the front and rear 6-megapixel cameras each with a 1-megapixel increase.

The reason why the running memory is not increased is that the adjustment of the fairy company is very good, the intelligent control of the dream chip and the fairy system is very high, and the current 1gb is fully enough to meet the demand.

Although the performance of smart electronics is related to high-level configuration, it is not just a matter of just stacking high-level components. The dependence on software is also high.

The performance of the dream chip has been improved, and the laboratory has been working hard. Compared with the dreampad2, the dreampad3 processor has increased its speed by 30%, and its power has also been increased by 50%. But the energy consumption has been reduced by 10%. In this way, not only the battery life is increased, but also when surfing the Internet and playing games, you can have a better experience.

It can be said that after the launch of the dreampad3, using a computer to play online games is no longer comparable to the dreampad3, which is the real king of games.

Of course, the functions of fingerprint unlocking and beautification photos have also continued.

The smart voice that everyone has been waiting for has also been added to dreampad3.

But only with these improvements, it can’t be said that dreampad3 has made a leap forward. The function that Xiao Qi adds to dreampad3 is more complex processing functions.

For example, dreampad2 can only process one file before, but now dreampad3 can directly process two or more files on the same page through system upgrades and improvements-just like what you see in science fiction movies, those people are in Unreal Simultaneous operation of several programs on the LCD screen is the same.

In addition, the dreampad3 also adds two speakers, making its sound continue to increase to twice the dreampad2, allowing users to hold the dreampad3 in bed at night, directly as a home theater to watch movies.

What's more, users have always proposed that dreampad3 has greatly improved the capture of wireless signals. Even weak signals can be used steadily, which allows users to use the dreampad3 to surf the Internet in more places.

Especially in those cities, the wireless module with free pad3 can receive the signal very well, which is far easier to use than ordinary smart phones and tablet computers.

This feature is very practical for people who increasingly rely on the Internet, and it will also allow them to use dreampad3 more often than just smartphones.

In addition to these, there are some detailed improvements, involving dozens of items.

After so many improvements, dreampad3 and dreampad2 are no longer a model at all. Dreampad3 is what really makes people understand that smart tablets can become so beautiful.

The group of elites in the laboratory were thrilled by Xiao Qi's severe "dismissal" time and time again. Those dolls that they secretly erected with Xiao Qi's name written on them have been destroyed by hundreds, but After the results came out, they still shed tears with excitement and joy.

Dreampad3 is the most difficult tablet they have developed, even more difficult than Dreampad.

In order to rush to the market before the release of Apple, almost all of the functions of dreampad are built by Xiao Qi, and the performance requirements are not so strict.

Dreampad2 is an upgraded product, to a greater extent, it continues the equal performance improvement, plus some functions on the Dreamstars phone are added, which is not too difficult.

But this dreampad3 is more than 60% of the big changes. Except for the appearance of the small change, the rest of the performance is very different from the previous dreampad2, so they have done so hard.

On weekdays, they wanted to compromise a little, but every time Xiao Qi reported to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi always said "no".

Every time they had to reach the limit of parts and sub-items, Xiao Qicai reluctantly agreed to pass.

In order to meet Xiao Qi's demanding requirements, since the start of the development of dreampad3 in May 2008, for a total of seventeen or eight months, the thousands of engineers in the laboratory responsible for this project had no time to rest for a few days.

After suffering so much, fighting for so long, and finally getting a satisfactory return, how could they be unhappy?

Of course, not only was the end of the work relieved them, Xiao Qi's rewards were also generous.

All R&D personnel received a huge reward of 500 million yuan from the laboratory after passing the strict acceptance of the model. On average, the reward for each person is around 500,000.

The headquarters of the fairy company also gave the same 500 million yuan reward.

After two awards, the engineer with the most received a super high award of 20 million.

In addition, the nine people who contributed the most to the patented technology successfully obtained the fourth phase of Yuluyuan Villa.

Moreover, the laboratory gave them a one-month vacation, and the company reimbursed 200,000 yuan in travel expenses, allowing them to take their family around to travel and play.

The cost of these rewards adds up to almost 200 million U.S. dollars, which does not include their usual salary and bonuses.

At first glance, it looks a lot~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but you just have to think about it, without the limited edition, now the number of dreampad2 sales is over 12 million units every month, and the total revenue is about 10 billion US dollars. The previous interest rate reached 62%, which is 6.2 billion US dollars.

And because of the high tax rate, development and research costs, advertising costs, daily office sales and maintenance costs, etc., the net profit per month is still around US$1.8 billion.

This means that the entire 4.4 billion U.S. dollars are in the above-mentioned aspects, but the net profit of 1.8 billion U.S. dollars per month can be directly distributed to shareholders in proportion, which is really a lot.

Relative to such a large expenditure and profit, the high-end model dreampad3 was developed, which only gave a reward of less than 200 million U.S. dollars, which is not worth mentioning in Europe and the United States.

Come back to now.

If Xiao Qi hadn't given them such a high salary and reward, then many people would still be unable to adhere to such strict requirements.

It takes a little money to get their hard work and contribution wisdom. How can it be considered that Xiao Qi is more worthwhile! (To be continued.) u
