Rewrite the Technological Landscape

The news that Meng Qian was on the BYD F3 platform spread across the country immediately. Celebrity effects are still useful in this era. At least BYD F3 started better than its previous life. Of course, the premise is that the car is really good and better than its previous life.

"I hope my intervention is correct." Meng Qian, who was more and more respectful of the Butterfly Effect, did not dare to say something dead.

The time is coming to June 10th, and the news that should come has come. Someone released a video of a Dell computer spontaneously igniting. Although it was also in June, history has actually changed.

The fuse of the previous life was that on June 21, someone posted a video of a Dell laptop on fire during a meeting on a technology news website called Inquirer. Video of Rydell's laptop catching fire.

As for the reason why it is different, it is actually very simple, because in fact, computer fire incidents have started a long time ago, and not too many people have exposed them. The first reaction is to find after-sales service first. In addition, those posts and videos that burst out are not popular. , so no one pays attention.

In the previous life and this life, it was because a video became popular and the mainstream media began to report it, which caused the incident to become a big deal.

Just like Huaxia has millions of news every day, but the news that is not on the hot search, how many people know it.

Following the reports of several mainstream media in the United States, more and more people began to share about their computers catching fire in the next few days, and exactly the same as in the previous life, the voice that appeared on the Internet at the beginning was: There is a problem with the Dell computer!

Because most of the recent exposures are Dell computers, and Dell has recently recalled computers on a large scale, and several other brands followed up the recall later.

So at the beginning, after digging up this matter, everyone naturally pointed the finger at Dell, thinking that it was a problem with Dell's computer, and some people went to Dell's headquarters to protest.

What's more interesting is that at first Dell seemed to think it was his own problem, because it was not sure whether it was a battery problem at the first time, and the computer burned up. Development, it will take a month before it is basically confirmed that it is Sony's problem.

So Dell also issued a public statement apologizing and saying we're looking into the problem

This statement was also issued in this life. At this moment, no one associates the problem with Sony, and Dell is just like this.

However, Sony actually has something in mind.

Because although other brands have not yet begun to recall computers, in fact, the customer service has received news of spontaneous combustion. HP actually responded very early, and everyone seems to be using Sony batteries.

So when Dell was blocking the gun for Sony outside, Sony had already started to study this matter internally, and according to the news from several computer companies, it is true that the computers that caught fire used Sony batteries, and they were from the same company. a factory.

At the end of June, Meng Qian came to Sony.

"Mr. Howard, is the computer's spontaneous combustion problem caused by the battery?" Meng Qian asked very straightforwardly, because he brought a research report.

As a pioneer of rebirth, Meng Qian did something early on. For a long time, the computers of Dafeng Group used BYD's batteries, including IBM's computers. After the acquisition, the batteries were replaced, because Dafeng Group is BYD's major shareholder. So everyone doesn't think it's a problem to do so.

Then, because he knew that this would happen in 2006, Meng Qian approached Sony at the end of 2005, saying that Sony’s battery was good. The company wanted to try to replace Sony’s battery in the Dafeng Group’s ancient series, and Sony was of course happy to hear that. , and immediately sold a batch of batteries to Dafeng Group.

At that time, Meng Qian also specifically determined whether it was the source of the problem, Sony Energy Equipment Company.

But after these batteries arrived, they definitely didn't really use them on the computer. They just waited until this incident happened, and Meng Qian could use this batch of batteries from Sony for research. This research will definitely find out the problem.

So Sony couldn't hide it from Dafeng Group, and when Howard still wanted to hide it, Meng Qian played another card, "PS3 will be launched soon, so there can be no problems at this time! Mr. Howard, We are allies and I hope you can tell me the truth."

Meng Qian's words completely bluffed Howard. The cell processor performed very well on the ancient notebooks. We are waiting for the performance on the PS3 this year. If the battery problem affects the development of the cell project on the game console Rhythm, Howard thought he would be killed by Dafeng Group and IBM.

No, Howard quickly told the truth, "From the current information, it may indeed be that our battery has a problem."

"Then is there a problem with the battery on the PS3?" Meng Qian pretended to be very concerned.

Then Howard could only shake his head, "No one can guarantee it now."

Indeed, who will guarantee it? Although judging from the development of later generations, it is actually no problem. At that time, the problem with Sony’s battery was caused by the computer battery, but no one can guarantee it at that time. There were concerns, but fortunately, the PS3 just skipped tickets back then, and the PS3 itself was a failed product, so no one cared about the battery or not.

But like this year's camera, which is a relatively successful product, consumers are very concerned about battery problems. Many posts on the Internet are worried about Sony camera battery problems.

In this life, PS3 is prepared by Sony as a turnaround work. If there is a problem with the battery, what should I do?

"Why don't you postpone the time to market first." Howard thought so.

Meng Qian shook his head and denied it, "No, doing so will slow down the progress of this project, and your battery problem won't be hidden for long, and Sony may need a successful product to save the situation."

Meng Qian seemed to be thinking about Sony, and Howard also felt that it made sense, "But the battery problem is a dead end, and now the mainstream media in the United States are starting to report, even if Fengxin suppresses the news, it's useless."

"Yeah." Meng Qian paced back and forth in Howard's office, pretending to have a very headache, "I have an idea, I wonder if I can try it."

"What?" Howard asked hurriedly.

"Isn't there a batch of PS3s using BYD batteries?"

This phenomenon is very common in electronic products. There will be some slight differences in the configuration of products sold to different countries, especially for things like batteries. It is normal to change to a cheaper brand.

It's no secret that electronic products will shrink in configuration in some specific markets. Consumers know that, just like for the current PS3, using BYD's battery can save one-third of the battery cost.

"Mr. Meng means to sell the BYD battery version as a normal version?"

"Well, BYD can be packaged as a company under my Dafeng Group. From the perspective of brand power, it is completely passable. It is understandable that PS3 chooses a lower-cost battery.

Anyway, for PS3, the battery is not a core component. After this battery incident is over, Sony’s own battery will be replaced later. In a big deal, PS3 will use BYD batteries. It will not affect the continued use of Sony batteries starting from PS4. What.

But at least we can stabilize the rhythm of our cell processor project, and we can also rely on PS3 to turn the tide. I believe PS3 will be a big hit. When the battery issue breaks out and PS3 delays, I'm afraid it will only be more troublesome. "

Every word Meng Qian said was for Sony and the overall situation, so Howard didn't hear anything wrong at all. Of course, there is also a very realistic reason that, outside of the field of mobile phone batteries, Sony really doesn't care much about BYD. Seriously.

"It is indeed a solution, I will discuss it with the team.

Mr. Meng, thank you. "
