Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 140: The haunted company, the office building has begun to be renovated
Meanwhile, in California, the Loperi Estate

This manor is located in the suburbs of California. It covers a large area and is located at a high altitude. From a distance, you can see the beautiful bay.

In addition to residential land, the large manor also has forests, grasslands, small lakes, and even a hill, which totals several hundred hectares.

Of course, in a large manor like this, golf courses and tennis courts must be standard features.

There is even a horse farm here with several large white horses.

The central part of the manor is mainly the building part, which is the residence of the manor owner. It is a five-story super mansion.

In front of the mansion is a huge fountain, and in the back are two swimming pools, one large and one small.

People who live in such a place are considered very wealthy even in Eagle United.

This Loperi Manor is the property owned by Ram Hawke, the owner of a fruit company.

This is just one of Hawke's mansions. He has top-notch mansions in many places all over Blue Star.

Hawke generally lives here when he's in California.

Although today is a working day, Hawke did not go to work at the fruit global headquarters. A boss of his level does not have to go to the office every day. He only needs to go there occasionally, or when there are important meetings or major events.

Naturally, all matters big and small in the company are handled by deputies and other executives. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, they will consult Hawke, the global CEO.

Hawke lay on a sun lounger next to the pool, enjoying the sun and leisure time.

I have to say, life is so damn comfortable these days.

Just then, a Filipino maid came over.

"Mr. Hawke, this is the 100 percent unsweetened orange juice you requested."

Hawke asked calmly, "How much ice did you add?"

The Filipino maid replied respectfully: "According to your request, I added one-fifth of pure water ice cubes."

"very good."

The Filipino maid placed the cup of iced orange juice on the small table next to her and then left quietly.

Hawke took a sip of iced orange juice, looking very enjoyable.

After a while, Hawke was drowsy and almost fell asleep.

The Filipino maid came over again and said, "Mr. Hawke, Mr. Pierce called."

Hawke snorted softly, without opening his eyes, and reached out to take the phone from the Filipino maid.

"Hey, Pierce, what's up?"

The voice on the other end said, "Hello, Mr. Hawke, I have a few things I would like to ask you today."

"Okay, go ahead. I'm listening."

Pierce's full name is Mike Tils, and he is considered Hawke's super assistant.

What is a super assistant?
On the surface, Pierce is an executive of a fruit company, but in reality, his job is equivalent to that of Hawke's clone.

For some less important meetings, if Hawke has something urgent to do or does not want to attend, Pierce will attend the meeting on Hawke's behalf.

Of course, Pierce also has his own clear responsibilities, which is to collect product feedback information, customer suggestions and needs, etc.

This time, Pierce called to report the department's work to Hawke.

Pierce has recently received a large number of suggestions for improvements to the fruit company's products.

These suggestions are collected from Apple phone users around the world.

"Mr. Hawke, let me explain one by one. Customers have been asking for more and more screens recently."

Hawke said, "Oh!" "What else do they want? Don't they already have full-screen displays?"

"They think the screens of Apple phones are not big enough, and some customers asked us to make curved screens."

Hawke showed a look of disapproval: "Curved screen, what good is a curved screen that is so difficult to use? It is simply the worst design in human history."

Pierce added: "By the way, there are also customers who really want a foldable screen Apple phone."

Hawke was stunned for a moment: "Folding screen? Is that thing useful? Folding the screen and then opening it, isn't that redundant, like taking off your pants to fart? Ignore it!"

Pierce was not surprised. Hawke hated both folding and curved screens and would definitely not agree to make such products, at least for the time being.

Pierce added: "Mr. Hawke, there are also super fast charging and call recording. These two features are also requested by many customers and are urgently needed. It is recommended that we implement them in new products as soon as possible."

Hawke thought for a moment and said, "The R&D department is already working on the two functions, but they think the timing is not right and there are many problems, so they won't do it for now."

Pierce was speechless for a moment.

These two features have been used by other competing mobile phones for several years.

Call recording is simple, but there is the issue of privacy leakage, so it is understandable that it is not used.

Why can't super fast charging be used?

Every time, Apple's technical department says that this super-fast charging technology is very damaging to the battery, but customer representatives always retort that even without super-fast charging, the battery life of Apple phones is not very good.

Pierce had nothing to say, after all, his iPhone couldn't even last a day.

Pierce asked again: "Mr. Hawke, when can we launch these features?"

Hawke said: "Don't worry, study it slowly and wait until the technology is mature."

"But now our competitors have all these features, aren't we a little too slow?"

"Competitors? Where do we have competitors?"

"But Huayao..."

"What Huayao? This company is almost dead, don't bother with it at all. As for the coarse grain opal and the like, they are not a threat at all. If they are not convinced, then cut off their food supply and see if they can still be arrogant."

Pierce thought about it and it made sense. Hua Yao had been beaten half to death and was probably unable to come back to life.

"Mr. Hawke, you are majestic."

Hawke took a sip of orange juice and asked, "Anything else, Pierce?"

Pierce hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Hawke, there is another question. This question has received more feedback from customers."

"……what?"

"Many customers are not satisfied with the mobile phone signal of the product. Many people have reported that sometimes the signal is too weak to make or receive calls."

Hawke frowned when he heard this.

This is not the first time Hawke has heard this question. Every time he hears it, he feels annoyed.

Hawke asked, "A lot of customers asked this question? How many customers?"

Pierce immediately replied: "We have collected samples from all over the world. The number is very large. About one in ten people have mentioned this issue."

Hawke frowned, sat up, and said, "What? Is the signal of our mobile phone products really so bad?"

"This one……"

Pierce couldn't answer that question.

Pierce knew that Hawke was very disgusted by people reporting problems with the fruit phone's signal.

This has always been the weak point and common problem of Apple phones.

Objectively speaking, the signal of Fruit phones is indeed not as good as that of other mobile phone brands, and even worse than that of Huayao phones.

Nowadays, all fruit mobile phones use external basebands purchased from Gaoxin Company, so the communication signals are naturally not as good as those of mobile phones with integrated processor chips.

We can’t blame the fruit company for not solving this problem. The key is that they have tried their best and are still trying to solve it now.

For example, the Apple company spent a large sum of money to acquire Intel's professional team to develop baseband.

However, up to now, the development progress of our own baseband has been postponed again and again, and there is still no timetable for a solution.

But now many customers are reporting this problem, and Pierce, as the person in charge, can't pretend not to see it, so he can only bite the bullet and speak out. Huo Kanchu was really unhappy, his stomach was bulging, if it weren't for his good upbringing, he would have hung up the phone long ago.

"I know about this problem, but there is no way to solve it for now, so let's put it aside for now."

Pierce quickly said, "Okay, no problem."

Hawke then said, "Pierce, let me ask you, do you think that if Huayao is gone, customers will no longer choose our mobile phones just because of a signal problem?"

Pierce thought for a moment and replied, "That's not the case. Without Huayao, a strong competitor, other mobile phone manufacturers would not be able to pose a threat to us, except for Sansang Mobile."

"Don't mention San Sang, this company is not worth mentioning at all. He is kept here just to make money for the big guys in Huafu Street."

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Hawke."

To be honest, although Sansang is a global technology giant on the surface, the people in the fruit company have never taken Sansang seriously.

Because Sansang is actually a company that is highly tied to Eagle Power.

If Sansang threatens Eaglejian's technology, it can be killed at any time.

Hawke asked again, "Pierce, anything else?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Hawke, you can take a rest then."

"Okay, contact me if there's anything urgent."

There is a subtext to what Hawke said: contact him only if there is an emergency, and don't contact him if there is nothing urgent.

After hanging up the phone, Hawke continued to drink iced orange juice and enjoy the sunshine.

Hawke had another good sleep. After he had slept enough, he stretched himself, threw the towel aside, and jumped into the swimming pool with a somersault.

Hawke's swimming style is beautiful and his swimming skills are very skillful. He dives like a fish and is obviously an expert at it.

Normally Hawke can swim five or six times in a row without taking a breath.

Hawk had just swam two rounds when his cell phone rang.

Hawke relaxed in the pool for a while before climbing out and picking up his phone from the table.

It was Pierce calling again.

Hawke frowned and answered the phone: "What's the matter? Pierce, is there another emergency so soon?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Hawke, I have an emergency to report to you."

"Huh? What emergency?"

Pierce said: "I just received an email from Mr. Ge in China, saying that Huayao has released a new flagship phone."

When Hawke heard this, he lost his grip on the phone and it fell into the swimming pool.

Fortunately, Hawke used the monkey-catching-the-moon trick to get the phone back.

Mr. Ge from China is of course Ge Jing, the president of the fruit China branch.

Hawke quickly wiped the phone dry with a towel, then asked, "What's going on? Huayao has released a new flagship phone. Are you still talking about it? Wasn't it released half a month ago? Later, Huayao never produced a prototype. It must be a lie."

"Mr. Ge mentioned that Huayao's new mobile phone has arrived in the store. Mr. Hawke, some media have even tested Huayao's new mobile phone."

"…Oh my god! How is this possible? What new phone did Huayao launch? Are you talking about the P30!?"

"Yes, it is P30."

Hawke was a little flustered and at a loss for what to do.

But Hawke is a big boss who has seen the world and is the global CEO of Fruit Company, the world's number one technology company.

He calmed down instantly.

"No, no, this matter may not be that simple. Did Ge Jing get the P30 phone?"

"Mr. Ge and his team are trying to get a P30."

"One phone is not enough. Ask them to send a few more."

Pierce hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Ge said that the Huayao P30 is not officially on sale yet, so it's hard to get it."

"Spend money, you can get anything as long as you are willing to spend money."

Pierce agreed and went to do it immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Hawke was so angry that he threw the phone directly into the swimming pool.

"Damn it! This annoying company is haunting us!"

Hawke originally thought that Hua Yao was dead this time, and no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the fate of disappearing.

Moreover, some time ago, Huaguo Ge Jing sent an email saying that Huayao released a new mobile phone, but the other party might be bluffing, as there is no prototype even in Huayao’s store.

This is also consistent with the expert judgment of the fruit headquarters.

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong Island, Tai Wo Building, Central.

Hu Jiangshan drove over.

He parked his car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator to the 36th floor.

This morning Hu Jiangshan received a call from Li Anqi, who said that the interior of the office building was about to be renovated and asked him to come over to finalize the design.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care about the decoration at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was the company's facade and it really had to be done better.

Regardless of whether it can be used or not, it should at least make people feel that it is legitimate and not a shell company.

Besides, Li Anqi asked Hu Jiangshan to come over, so he couldn't refuse.

As soon as Hu Jiangshan entered the door, he saw several workers moving construction materials inside.

It looks like construction is already underway.

In fact, Li Anqi had already sent the design plan to Hu Jiangshan via email. After Hu Jiangshan read it, I was very satisfied with it, so I let her go ahead and do it.

Today should be the day to start work.

To be on the safe side, Li Anqi asked Hu Jiangshan to come over.

Li Anqi is a designer and the company has a long-term construction team.

This construction team is certainly the best. You can tell from their work uniforms and work standards that they are very professional.

It is not yet the time agreed with Li Anqi. Li Anqi has not arrived yet and should still be on the way.

Hu Jiangshan had nothing to do, so he went into the teahouse across the street to have some tea.

At the same time, in a black Mercedes-Benz.

Li Anqi was driving the car, and another girl was sitting in the passenger seat.

This girl is Li Anqi's cousin, named Chen Xiuyan.

Chen Xiuyan is a junior at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It is vacation now and she has nothing to do, so she followed her cousin to the construction site for a walk.

Chen Xiuyan asked curiously: "Sister, where are we going? Is it far?"

"Not far, in Central."

"Ah, is it a big client? Office buildings in Central are not cheap."

"It's okay, he's from the Hu family."

Chen Xiuyan was stunned for a moment: "Hu family? Is it the Hu family of Hu Yingxiang?"

"Yes, the employer is Hu Jiangshan, the grandson of Hu Yingxiang. Do you know him?"

Chen Xiuyan was shocked: "Ah? It's him! How could it be him? Why is it him?"
