These greetings are not only polite to the boss, but also contain a kind of heartfelt, almost fanatical admiration and gratitude.
Just a few days ago, the shocking three million yuan cash award ceremony was like the most powerful stimulant, injected into the blood of every Xingchen employee.
Especially the employees in the sales department, when they saw Li Yan, their eyes burned with passion as if they would go through fire and water for him.
· Employees in other departments are also full of unprecedented confidence in the company's future and their own "money" paths because of this extremely impactful incentive method.
Money is always the most direct, effective and powerful cohesion and driving force in a company that pursues wolf nature in its early stage.
Facing this wave of enthusiasm, Li Yan just nodded slightly without any unnecessary expression on his face. Accompanied by Su Qing, he walked straight to the office.
He is getting used to this feeling of being looked up to and awed by, and is good at using this atmosphere to strengthen his management authority.
At 9:30 in the morning, conference room No. 1, cross-department core meeting.
All heads of departments were present and no one was late.
They all knew that if Li Yan personally convened a meeting of this size, he would inevitably announce a major decision that would affect the future direction of the company.
Li Yan sat in the main seat, without any extra greetings. His eyes calmly swept over every executive present, and got straight to the point: "The results in April are obvious to all, and everyone here has contributed a lot. The company will not forget any of the contributors. But..."
He suddenly changed his topic and his tone became solemn, "The applause of the market is the easiest to get lost.
If we are content with the status quo and rest on the credit book of S1 and S2, then we are not far from being eliminated.
We must always keep an eye on the next step.
Today’s meeting has two core topics, related to the life and death of Xingchen in the next year. "
"The first is about the continuation, upgrade and in-depth optimization of our feature phone product line."
Li Yan’s eyes first turned to the R&D department, and finally fell on the new head, Dr. Han Li.
Dr. Han was wearing an Oxford cloth shirt today. He was still dressed elegantly, but his eyes were more integrated than when he first arrived.
"Dr. Han, you are a top expert in the field of smart phones. Letting you lead the project of feature phones is indeed overkill.
"Dr. >
So, I decided to immediately start the research and development project of the Xingchen A1 series, and you will take the lead in conducting a round of in-depth UI optimization and upgrade of the existing S1 and S2 systems "
"UI optimization?" Several executives showed interest.
This was still a relatively new concept in the feature phone market at that time.
Most manufacturers are focusing on hardware, price, and appearance, and rarely put much effort into user interaction experience.
That's right.
Li Yan nodded affirmatively, and asked Su Qing to distribute several prepared concept sketches and new UI design renderings to everyone.
A1's appearance design is eye-catching, with smooth and dynamic lines, and young and bold color schemes. It provides a variety of options such as sky blue, mint green, and cherry blossom pink. The screen-to-body ratio is as high as the MTK platform allows.
What is even more surprising is the UI design rendering.
It completely abandons the boring, rough, and simple icon style of the MTK public version plan. The overall visual language is extremely simple, stylish, and grand.
“This is a set of UI solutions that I designed myself with reference to the most cutting-edge design concepts in the world.”
Li Yan explained that he drew on the mature visual style of later iOS systems—flat icon design, clear information hierarchy, harmonious and unified color scheme, and delicate font rendering.
Although the screen resolution of feature phones is limited and the color expression is not comparable to that of smartphones, the "sensation of high-end" and "exquisiteness" brought by this design language are far beyond the comparison of other feature phones of the same era.
"We not only want to make the A1 look young, but also make it easy and comfortable to use."
Li Yan looked at Dr. Han Li and put forward specific technical requirements, "Dr. Han, based on the MTK platform, we must try our best to achieve the following points:
1. Operation smoothness optimization: Streamline unnecessary animations and loading waits in the system, optimize the underlying code, and ensure that basic operations such as menu switching and list scrolling are silky smooth, far exceeding the lag of the public version.
2. Visual unity: The icons, fonts, and color styles of all built-in applications must strictly follow the design specifications we have formulated to form a unified brand visual language.
3. Enhancement of interaction details: Evaluate the possibility of implementing some simple tactile feedback mechanisms on key function machines.
For example, when certain operations are confirmed, can the motor be driven to achieve a slight, crisp "click" vibration feedback?
Although it is impossible to implement complex gestures on the touch screen, we can greatly improve the sense of certainty and pleasure of operation by optimizing the response logic of the buttons and providing clear visual, auditory, and tactile feedback. "
Dr. Han Li pushed up his glasses and looked at the UI renderings carefully, with a hint of surprise and appreciation in his eyes.
He did not expect that Li Yan's understanding of user experience was so profound and avant-garde.
He thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Li, these points you raised are very valuable.
MTK's platform is relatively closed, but it is not completely unmodifiable.
UI redrawing and replacement is technically feasible. MTK provides the corresponding tools and interfaces, but most manufacturers directly use the public version to save trouble.
Optimizing operational fluency involves fine-tuning system task scheduling and memory management mechanisms. This requires relatively low-level skills. My team can try it.
As for vibration feedback...
The existing motor performance is relatively single, and it is difficult to achieve complex vibration patterns. However, a simple, short-term confirmation of vibration can be done in theory. We need to do specific driver debugging and hardware matching tests. "
Li Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! You can control the technical details.
What I want is the result - to allow users to get the Xingchen phone and feel a unique, high-end and smooth experience from the moment they turn it on.
This is our key soft power that distinguishes us from copycat phones and those brand phones that do not seek advancement! "
He went on to explain the strategic positioning of A1: "The core goal of Xingchen A1 is to open up the younger market and accurately target students and white-collar newcomers who have just entered the workplace.
We want to use this product to cultivate and bind the main consumers of the future in advance.
They are sensitive to design and pursue individuality, and they are the easiest group to build brand loyalty.
Use A1 to win their hearts now, and when our smart phones are launched, they will be the most natural and core converted users. 」
