Chapter 627 Battery Technology in Moscow
Before launching the Russian version of the mobile phone, one thing must be done first, that is, the mobile phone can be used normally in those places in Eastern Europe.
As we all know, Russia is next to the Arctic Circle, and it is very cold for a long time of the year, and the low temperature will always cause the battery of the mobile phone to run low, and even the mobile phone cannot be turned on.
If a mobile phone doesn't work properly in Eastern Europe for a long time, will anyone still want to buy it?
So before this problem was solved, Zhang Yang did not agree to push the mobile phone to the Eastern European market. Even if this problem can be solved, Zhiduoxing mobile phones can sell well in the northeast and plateau areas of China.
Duan Yongping originally thought that Zhang Yang would support him, so that the popularity of Zhiduoxing mobile phones could be increased faster, sales would be increased, and research and development costs could be recovered.
But he hadn't really thought about it before.
The battery used in Zhiduoxing mobile phones is the technology developed by the research institute in Hankou. Domestic mobile phones such as Bird mobile phones are basically purchased from this company. Their mobile phone battery technology is indeed the top in China, and it is not far behind in the world. .
Moreover, Zhiduxing's MP3, MP4, and handheld Z4 series all use this company's batteries, and even G2MINI's batteries are also produced by this company.
They have rapidly improved the power technology of batteries of the same volume, meeting the needs of many electronic products, but they do not have the technology to deal with the alpine environment.
During testing, Zhiduoxing Group found that it takes less than an hour, and sometimes half an hour, the battery seems to be dead, and the product cannot be turned on.
There is also relevant alpine battery technology in China, but the cost is too high, and it is basically used for scientific research and national defense. They cannot afford it, otherwise the price of mobile phones will increase by thousands of dollars, and it will be even less competitive.
At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly saw a laptop computer presented to him by Kurishenko on the table, as if Moscow Electronics also controlled a battery factory.
"Hello? Old Ku, how about a few words?"
Kurishenko was looking at the document, and after finding out that it was Zhang Yang's call, he put the document down.
"What, do you have something to do? You're still bored and want to get together with me?" Kurishenko asked with a smile.
"You can get together at any time you want. There is really something going on today. I remember you said that Moscow Electronics holds a controlling stake in a battery factory, right? Is this factory's battery used for your laptop?"
"yes,
Why not use your own battery factory? "Do you still purchase from other factories?
"If your laptop is used outdoors in winter, will it run out of power soon, or even shut down?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Who would take the computer outdoors in the winter? But our batteries are inherently cold-resistant, and they should be much better than other manufacturers in this area. We have many patents."
Kurishenko didn't understand, what is this for?
"Then can you produce mobile phone batteries? Can you also guarantee cold resistance?"
"You mean, Zhiduoxing mobile phones want to purchase our batteries?" Kurishenko suddenly realized.
"The batteries we purchased are poor in cold resistance. I plan to sell the mobile phone to the Eastern European market, so I would like to ask how your battery technology is."
"Don't worry, the quality must be very good. Although few mobile phone manufacturers have purchased from us before, the mobile phone batteries produced by us have been bought by many users and they all say that they are easy to use."
"Well, you can ask your technicians to come over and test it in person, so you can feel more at ease. By the way, is the mobile phone sold well in the Chinese market?" Kurishenko also expressed concern. He is also a shareholder of Zhiduoxing Group.
"not too good."
Kurishenko was stunned, how could it be?
In the past, Zhiduoxing Group seemed to sell well in everything it did. Even though the international market was not very popular, it was the absolute leader in the Chinese market.
For example, the Chinese and English computer learning machines at the beginning, then the Wenquxing electronic dictionary, and then the repeating machine, these are the absolute kings in the domestic market, and they have made a lot of money for the Zhiduoxing Group.
It can't compare to the profits of the game industry, but it also makes many companies envious.
This time, it failed?
He remembers that around the turn of the millennium, Zhiduoxing started the research and development of mobile phones. First, some communication-related technologies were purchased, and then the technologies were upgraded.
Afterwards, technology exchanges were carried out with Bird mobile phones. Didn’t they carry out strategic cooperation with giants like Motorola some time ago? How could it not sell well?
"Zhang, what's wrong? Do you need my help?"
"The problem is not big, and it should get better next year. The main reason is that we currently have too few product models, lack of popularity in the communication field, and other manufacturers are also targeting us."
"However, in the past six months, sales have grown steadily, and overseas markets have also been opened up. There will be a new model coming soon, and the price of civilians will be able to increase sales again."
Zhang Yang is not in a hurry about this. Mobile phones have just entered the 2G era, and Huaxia is actually lagging behind in communication technology. It was not until Zhang Yang was born again that he completed corner overtaking in the 5G field.
In terms of all previous communication technologies, from the first generation to the fourth generation, Huaxia is lagging behind. To purchase European and American standards, it has to pay a large amount of fees every year. Among them, Qualcomm has benefited the most.
Because this company has CDMA technology, and this technology is the basis of 3G technology, and the three main specifications of 3G standards in the future are all based on this technology.
4G is an upgrade on the 3G standard, which mainly upgrades the network speed, enabling faster Internet access, smoother video calls and so on.
This kind of technology cannot be developed in China without an official background, and it involves many factors such as information security. So Zhang Yang did not participate, but concentrated on improving the technology of mobile phones.
In the next few years, the mobile phone industry will usher in a round of reshuffle, and many mobile phone manufacturers will gradually decline, such as Ericsson, Ximenzi, Xiapu, Bird, etc. They have completely failed before the mobile phone entered the era of smart phones .
When the mobile phone entered the era of smart phones, among the mobile phone giants at this time, only Samsung has developed, and even became the industry leader.
Throughout the history of mobile phones, Samsung is the real king. But that was the previous life, now with Zhang Yang joining, everything is different.
In the era of feature phones, Samsung cannot be the boss. In the era of smart phones, he also wants Samsung not to be the boss. The industry that Zhiduoxing wants to aim at has always been the leader!
After chatting with Kurishenko for a while, Zhang Yang hung up the phone. In the mobile phone industry, he set a three-year, three-step strategic goal for the company, which must be achieved!
