Chapter 6 The family is about to go bankrupt!

The afternoon passed quickly. Seeing that the progress was as planned, Li Weiwei nodded with satisfaction.

We had dinner in the cafeteria. After we returned to the dormitory, we found that Guo Anyi and Tian Yutao still hadn't come back, so they probably went to play basketball.

After typing the code for a while, Li Weiwei looked at his phone and remembered something.

After typing code all afternoon and watching the lines of code slide across the screen, he completely calmed down.

I also know that there is no need to do any tests, the golden finger is real.

This was originally a very good thing, but Li Future always felt that he had forgotten something.

Until he saw the bag containing the remains of the tablet that he had thrown on the bed.

"Hey, why did I forget my own home!"

Li Future's family's business has also been affected by liberal federal sanctions, but he usually doesn't pay much attention to it. First, he has little interest in business management, and second, his parents are in their prime, and management matters are not his turn.

However, he usually hears his parents discussing some related issues, so he understands a little bit.

And he has already thought about it. If he doesn't go home on May Day, he will stay in school to "study", and he has to tell his family no matter what.

So he went downstairs for a walk and made a phone call.

"Hey, Dad."

"Well, I won't go back. I have something to do at school."

"Well, I'm not going out with my girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend yet."

"Also, I would like to ask, how is your family's business lately?"

"What? You're about to go bankrupt... No way, Dad, are you deceiving me?"

"..."

Well, according to his biological father, although the family business has not gone bankrupt, if there is no good solution, he will have nothing to inherit in the future.

By the way, let me reintroduce it. Li Weijia does sell mobile phones. It is just a one-stop service of design, production and sales!

Their company is called Practical Technology, a very simple company as you can tell from its name.

Practical Technology is committed to providing consumers with high-quality and affordable smart terminal products and mobile Internet services, so it has the "Screw" brand.

Of course, many people in China have never heard of this brand, and those who know it will classify it as an "elderly device".

This is not surprising, because the screws are currently the latest, and the best mobile phone is only 1,099 yuan. It is the top-end T7 with 12+256 that Li Weiwei uses, which was only released a month ago.

The price of previous mobile phones has not been in the range of thousand yuan phones. The top model T7 is the boldest attempt this year, while the low model ones are still under a thousand yuan.

The company is slightly older than Li Future. It was initially hit by a wave of layoffs. Grandpa showed his style and took the initiative to get laid off. Then he mortgaged his house and took out a loan to open the factory.

The technological content of mobile devices more than 20 years ago was not very high, and the company's philosophy was to make them as cheap as possible so that more consumers could afford them, so the sales volume was quite considerable.

However, although the sales volume was large, the profit was not much. In the end, because of the low investment in R&D funds and the replacement of new products that could not keep up with the times, it gradually lost the market and could only compete for the market with the lowest-end and confusing copycat phones.

But Screws is a legitimate brand after all, and it certainly can’t be advertised indiscriminately like knock-off phones, so sometimes it can’t beat knock-off phones and lose money every year.

Later, it was Li Future's father who was smart and couldn't beat him at home, so he went abroad.

There are not only developed countries abroad, but also more developing countries that are poorer than the stars. The poor there also need electronic products, and major brands have not paid attention to them.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that their products are too expensive and most people in those places cannot afford them.

Facts have proved that Li's future father's strategy was correct. Screws soon opened up the market in third world countries, such as Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, etc. Screws are even found in low-level communities in developed countries.

Especially in Africa, the good-looking, cheap, easy-to-use, consumer-oriented Screw phones are selling like crazy.

The most outstanding one is the four-SIM, four-standby, large battery, capable of photographing black men in the dark, and anti-slip and fall-resistant button function machine designed based on African characteristics, directly occupying 70% of the market share in Africa.

Even the market share of smartphones is over 18%, ranking first in sales all year round.

Of course, the main thing is it's cheap.

Anyway, Practical Technology finally started to make money again, with a net profit of 2 billion last year.

Although it is nothing compared to those well-known mobile phone manufacturers, at least it is still alive and has not died in the tide of the times like those once well-known mobile phone brands.

However, with the sanctions imposed by the Free Federation and the saturation of the domestic market, many large manufacturers have begun to deploy overseas, and the situation of screws has become dangerous again.

Some domestic manufacturers also specialize in the high-end market when they go global, but some decide to capture the mid- to low-end market first.

The foreign mid-to-low-end market is the homeland of practical technology, and there is still not much core technology, and it has always been about volume.

But if it is attacked by a larger company with a larger size, it will soon be over.

So we got around to the source because we didn’t have core technology, and we were suppressed by the Free Federation.

Damn it!

But complaining is the most pointless, so Li Wei started to think of ways.

If mobile phone manufacturers want to win the market, they must start with mobile phones.

However, with the development of science and technology, the cost of researching new technologies is getting higher and higher, and the time period required is getting longer and longer.

Even the new technology that you have spent a lot of time and resources on may not be useful, which is very harmful.

So much so that "squeezing toothpaste" is now popular.

This has also led to serious homogeneity of mobile phones. Although new phones are born every year, and every year they say how powerful their product upgrades are and how many new tricks they have introduced, the actual products are still the same when they come out.

Even worse than the previous generation.

So some conferences spend half the time introducing mobile phone cases!

The mobile phone case is beautiful and furry. I got it as soon as I bought it.

In such an environment, it is completely impossible to use a new mobile phone to completely revive a manufacturer, even seize the market, and finally ascend to the throne. Without a core new technology that can overturn the entire market, it is completely impossible.

However, the functions of all aspects of the mobile phone are very complete. If you really want to build an epoch-making mobile phone, it cannot be completed in a short time, so you can only upgrade from some functions or an obvious shortcoming.

As for the obvious shortcomings of the phone...

Li Future took out his screw T7 and looked at it. When he saw that the battery logo in the upper right corner of the screen turned red and the value inside also changed to 19, his heart suddenly shrank.

The phobia of low battery has occurred!

But then, he was stunned.

"The breaking point...has been found."

"Battery! I need a super battery!"

………………

The next day, at 6:29 in the morning, Li Weiwei suddenly opened his eyes.

Sports experts Guo Anyi and Tian Yutao disappeared as usual. They had gone to exercise.

As for Big Brother, he is still sleeping soundly in bed.

At the beginning, there were three names in the dormitory with three characters, three names with two characters, those with three characters got up early to exercise every day, and those with two characters slept in every day.

It can be said that there is a clear distinction between Jing and Wei.

However, after a few months, Li Weiwei, who had adapted to college life, betrayed the three-character camp and joined the two-character camp in the name of three characters. He was too lazy to get up early to exercise every day.

But something like that happened yesterday, and with the addition of 1% brain development, he seemed to be a lot more energetic, and he actually woke up early today.

"Sorry, I want to rebel again... No, I should be returning to the three-character camp!"

After he got the golden finger, he thought about a lot of things and had a lot of ideas. There were so many things waiting for him to implement, so he had to take care of his body.

If the battery is the shortcoming of a mobile phone, then Li Future's health becomes his shortcoming.

So let’s just say, exercise, get started!

When he arrived at the playground, he did some warm-up exercises and then started jogging.

I was not idle while jogging, but sorted out my thoughts from yesterday.

Goldfinger is real, and you can do many things, and you can even be so arrogant that you want to change the world, but that is a very long-term goal.

I have also thought about my short-term goals, which are two things!

The first one is about the virtual idol. He needs to find time to complete the program and then show it to the world bit by bit.

This will also be his career for a long time to come.

As a boy, he always wants to start a career on his own, and he is also afraid of trouble. It would be difficult for him to be in charge of a huge manufacturing company.

Relatively speaking, the "one person, one computer, one software miracle" thing is more suitable for him.

At most, it's just a small elite team.
