Chapter 596 Ask the Boundless Land, Who Leads the Trend

Just when Shi Qianmei and Qian Wenguang returned to the negotiating table, Wu Tao, who was relaxing in the CEO's office, welcomed the menacing Leng Ning, Deputy Director Leng.

Wu Tao took a look and said, oh, with such enthusiasm, it must be a big problem.

Even so, he still didn't stop playing the tank battle game in his hand. After all, he had just hit the most critical moment, and it was his last life, so he really couldn't be willful and distracted.

"Boss, I have important work to report to you." Leng Ning stood in front of the desk, and his tone did not soften much.

Without raising his head, Wu Tao still stared at the computer screen and said, "Look at your posture, it doesn't look like you are here to report to me, but you seem to be holding me accountable."

"I..." Leng Ning was at a loss for words, because the tone in her heart made it impossible for her to say anything against her will.

On this point, Wu Tao understands her.

In fact, if this Leng University graduate student hadn't been outspoken and dare to advise, he might not be able to achieve his current position.

It is precisely because of this that she and Tao Changxuan can complement each other, which is why Wu Tao appreciates her.

Otherwise, if you dare to talk to the boss like this, you will have already packed up and left.

So Wu Tao didn't bother with her, but said earnestly, "Go over there and get yourself a glass of water, and when you finish drinking, talk to me calmly."

When Leng Ning went to the side to pour water, drank it in one gulp, and then walked back, Wu Tao finally successfully completed the game clearance, and immediately felt refreshed and his veins flowed smoothly.

Looking back, he saw Leng Ning in silver overalls, sitting opposite him, with a red pimple on his forehead.

It seems that the problem is not small, and they all rushed together.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Wu Tao clasped his fingers together and leaned back on the chair with ease.

Leng Ning picked up the stack of newspapers in hand, it seemed that there were quite a lot, and each of them was carefully selected by her, obviously she came prepared.

"Boss, this is the new mobile phone 6110 recently released by Nokia. See if it looks a bit like ours, and it also integrates Snake and Tetris games inside."

"...and this is the antenna-free flip phone released by Motorola not long ago. Except for the difference in outline, it is no different from the Lotus 8810."

"...there is the candy bar mobile phone released by Ericsson a few months ago, which is almost a copy of Lotus8210."

"...All of this information shows that our patent rights have been seriously violated. When I went to Director Tan to discuss rights protection, she said that you would not allow this matter to be promoted, but let it go first?"

It turned out to be this.

"That's right, I said it." Even though Wu Tao hadn't remembered the exact time and place when he said this, he had already admitted it first, otherwise, if he hesitated a little, a gap would have formed between his subordinates.

After a pause, he added: "Director Tan is short of manpower, and there is a serious backlog of patent applications, especially some key technology patents. As for the rights protection on these appearance patents, we can only let them go first."

"...Furthermore, the sales of these new mobile phone products suspected of infringing patents have not yet reached the point where we need to actively defend their rights. At this time, if we find fault, even if we succeed, the benefits will not be great."

"This..." Leng Ning was speechless, it felt like a set of punches hit the cotton.

Soon she took a deep breath, took the rest of the newspaper and patted it in front of Wu Tao and said, "This is Ericsson's latest rugged mobile phone R250 PRO. The ruggedness is the only selling point, so it has attracted much attention."

"...And this is Motorola's rotating flip phone V50, which is unique in shape, so it has also attracted widespread attention."

Wu Tao took the newspaper and looked at it, three-proof mobile phone? Doesn't it appear in the impression that it will not appear until the beginning of the new century?

Even if there is some error in the time I remember, it will not be too far off.

As for the rotating flip phone, it is a new product released by Motorola after the new century. Because of the strange shape, Wu Tao was particularly impressed.

It's just that this rotating flip phone is uglier than the Motorola V70 in my impression.

"So?" Wu Tao spread his hands together.

Leng Ning's voice became more sonorous, and he pointed to the newspaper and said: "These show that the three major foreign companies have released new benchmarking products for our products. If this continues, next year's mobile phone new selling point development, they are likely to come from behind. , overtake us!"

"...But now, Director Tao's energy is all tied up by basic technologies such as communication baseband and chip technology, and he is obviously lacking in new product development. If things continue like this, by this time next year, we will focus on mobile phone products. It will be a matter of time before someone surpasses others.”

Wu Tao nodded, oh, so it is.

Since the incident happened for a reason, this subordinate's attitude problem can be forgiven.

"Then do you have any thoughts or ideas on new product development?"

As a subordinate, you must not only be able to ask questions, but also have your own ideas.

And in the position of deputy director of the R&D department, Wu Tao expected more than that from Leng Ning.

While Leng Ning was stunned, he quickly came back to his senses and said with a calm mind: "Before I learned from foreign newspapers and periodicals that some foreign businessmen, especially those from Europe, started researching a communication protocol called WAP. It has expanded the functions and application scenarios of mobile phones."

"...wap is a wireless communication transmission protocol, which is a new technology. I think we should take the opportunity to do some accumulation and preliminary work."

"En!" Wu Tao stretched out his hand, bent his thumb and said, "This is a point, what else?"

In fact, there are really no more.

On this point, Leng Ning borrowed it from the newspapers and periodicals under his quick wit.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Wu Tao reminded again, "Actually, I plan to let you take the lead in the development of new products. If you can't think of a few, I will be very worried."

"Really?" Leng Ning was overjoyed immediately, she really didn't expect such a question to receive such good support.

"Of course it's true." Wu Tao's face was calm, and it seemed that it really seemed to have been arranged, "This matter is left to you, and I can provide you with several directions. You make a plan carefully and do it. Bring it to me when you're done."

While Leng Ning was beaming with joy, his subordinates had already unfolded the notebook and prepared to record it.

"The first point is the development of screen requirements, such as LCD screens of different colors, or even color screens."

"The second point is the support and expansion of mobile phone ringtones, and the function of mobile phone music players."

"The third point is that once color screens are popularized, the camera function of mobile phones may become popular. So you need to investigate and pay attention to the development of micro cameras..."

After finishing speaking, Wu Tao sat up straight and said, "Remember, in the vast land of the mobile phone communication industry, there is and only we can dominate the trend!"
