Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: New Mobile Phone Hits the Market!

"They're using a new processor - it's the MediaTek MT6218 chip specification."

Hearing President Xu's shocked words, the young assistant was also prepared. In fact, he had already tested this phone himself, so he had naturally been shocked once before.

So he handed the detailed application data to President Xu, who carefully picked up the document.

As a vice president in the mobile phone industry, he also had a technical background.

Although he hadn't worked in front-line technical positions for many years, he still hadn't forgotten his roots, so he looked serious as he examined the data.

Judging from the specifications, the performance of MediaTek's MT6218 processor wasn't actually that strong. It could only be said to have finally entered first-class level, capable of competing head-to-head with mobile phone processors from Texas Instruments, Infineon, and Qualcomm.

But this wasn't particularly outstanding performance - so why did it achieve such fast response speed with extremely smooth software operation?

President Xu fell into deep thought. Soon, as a technician who couldn't figure out the hardware angle, he instantly thought of one thing: the system!

A good system versus a bad system could determine a mobile phone's fate.

For example, the processors in their Saehan mobile phones and other manufacturers' phones were actually the same. After all, there were only a few companies that produced mobile phone processors.

But why could Saehan mobile phones boot in just over ten seconds, while some manufacturers took over 20 seconds to start up?

The reason was simple: Saehan mobile phone's system had been deeply optimized, and the system development team at Saehan had reached 30 people.

These people weren't just sitting idle - they constantly optimized the system. So Saehan mobile phone's OS was first-class among current domestic mobile phones, and even compared to foreign manufacturers' system OS, it wasn't weak!

This was why Saehan mobile phones could boot in just over ten seconds, with very low software running delay times.

"Even so, it shouldn't be able to achieve such fast speeds. Could it be that a manufacturer with just a few hundred people can optimize their system better than my Saehan Mobile?"

As President Xu muttered to himself, an idea actually appeared in his mind, but he felt the idea was somewhat unrealistic.

Because he thought it was impossible - after all, creating a custom system wasn't that simple.

Although Saehan Mobile definitely had the strength to do it if they wanted, facing the huge investment in labor costs, Saehan's executives had still chosen to abandon plans for developing a customized system.

"No matter what, this Hansung mobile phone is a threat."

President Xu sighed, then said to the young man:

"Spread the word quietly, saying that Park Minho of Hansung Mobile has offended me, and any mobile phone store in Gyeonggi Province that dares to put Hansung mobile phones on their shelves in the future won't be able to purchase our Saehan mobile phones.

Of course, this news must be spread through gossip channels, without any written records."

"Isn't this going a bit too far?"

The young assistant looked at President Xu in shock. He hadn't expected President Xu to do this. With one move, he was directly attacking Hansung phones, making it completely impossible for Hansung phones to recover!

This method was extremely underhanded. Although there would be no written record, this incident would inevitably have some impact on President Xu's personal image.

Additionally, news of Saehan Mobile's unreasonable domineering behavior would also spread in the market, so this matter had the flavor of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.

"It's fine, just do as I tell you."

President Xu shook his head and didn't continue elaborating.

Actually, from the moment he saw Park Minho's eyes, he knew this young man shouldn't be underestimated.

Now, after seeing the smooth operation and appearance of Hansung's third-generation mobile phone, he knew this phone would be a hot seller, as long as the price wasn't too expensive.

Then, relying on the high-quality smooth system experience of Hansung's third generation and the phone's exquisite, high-tech appearance, Hansung Technology might become one of the top ten companies in Korea's mobile phone industry!

So he wanted to step on Park Minho when Park Minho was at his worst, ensuring Park Minho could never rise again.

Otherwise, if Park Minho survived this period, Saehan Company would encounter a strong opponent in Gyeonggi Province and even the national market - and this opponent's name would be Hansung Mobile Phone!

"Understood."

The young assistant nodded slightly in agreement.

So at this time, Park Minho didn't know that a conspiracy was about to strike him, initiated by the famous Saehan Mobile.

A giant had suddenly raised its foot, but the target was a small ant. At this moment, Park Minho didn't know that a more serious crisis had already formed.

If the previous sudden returns from stores were choices of their own will, and if Park Minho offered big incentives, they might consider putting Park Minho's third-generation Hansung mobile phone on their shelves.

But with the spread of these rumors, Hansung Company's situation would definitely worsen, and those shops wouldn't risk offending Saehan Mobile by putting Park Minho's phones on shelves.

After all, Saehan mobile phones were the best-selling phones, accounting for 10% or even 20% of many stores' average sales. They couldn't afford to lose Saehan mobile phones, so there was no need to risk letting Park Minho's phones on shelves!

It could be said that President Xu's move was truly fatal - it could directly kill Park Minho!

Anyone facing this situation would have no way to break through.

Did Park Minho have a solution? Could he break this deadlock?

...

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another week arrived.

On this day, Hansung Company was bustling with activity.

Because Hansung Mobile Phone Company had finally obtained their production license, meaning that from now on, Hansung Mobile Phones could be officially produced through OEM manufacturing.

Both sales staff and ordinary employees cheered. For ordinary employees, they finally didn't have to worry about dismantling mobile phones all day long.

The nearly 10,000 Hansung 2 mobile phones that had been returned previously now required employees to dismantle them to recycle valuable parts.

Most of the dismantled parts would be discarded directly, but the most valuable core accessories like chips and screens couldn't be produced by small domestic factories, so all purchases were from major manufacturers.

Since these were products from major manufacturers, they were qualified products. As long as the dismantling method for these core parts was proper, they could be reused.

It could be said that through dismantling and recycling, even after deducting losses from accidental damage during the dismantling process, Park Minho could recover nearly 100 million won in funds, which reduced the 200 million won loss by half.

Now that the production license for Hansung's 3rd generation mobile phones was finally approved, meaning their factory could officially produce mobile phones, naturally those ordinary employees didn't have to carefully dismantle phones anymore. At this point, they'd rather produce mobile phones for a hundred days than dismantle phones for one day.

Because dismantling a mobile phone required more effort than producing one - they were finally relieved.

For employees in the sales department, they could finally get back to work. After the return incident, they'd had nothing to do but worry about whether their boss would pay their wages.

After obtaining the production license today, everyone cheered, whether management or ordinary employees.

Although Hansung mobile phones hadn't yet been sold on the market, the company's employees knew how powerful this mobile phone was.

Now that the production batch number had finally been obtained, meaning the mobile phone could be officially put on shelves, the dark clouds hanging over Hansung mobile phones would be completely dispelled.

This way, they could continue working at Hansung mobile phone factory. After all, Hansung Company's boss was a good boss.

Salaries were 10% higher than other factories, and free skills training was also provided. Where could you find such a good boss?

So as Hansung Technology Company's future prospects became brighter, everyone cheered sincerely.

"I want to ask if you have the confidence to let Hansung mobile phones create a miracle?"

In the company's sales department, Park Minho looked at more than 30 salespeople in front of him and asked.

"Yes!!"

Unified shouts rang out before him.

The reason these people were so unified and full of confidence was because they all knew the quality of this Hansung mobile phone and how amazing its system was.
