The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

"Kinmen Manufacturing's revenue performed well in the second quarter, showing a slight increase on top of existing revenue. The main business remained focused on orders from the Tianxia Group..."

"The fifth batch of auto parts orders has been completed at this stage..."

I visited the headquarters of Tianxia Auto Company the day before yesterday and have already coordinated the parts order volume for the second half of the year with their business manager. The previous payments have also been mostly received...

"Orders from Tianxia Electronics are still not many..."

I've heard that due to the overall economic climate, Tianxia Mobile may further shrink its market share in the second half of the year and focus on semiconductor research and development.

So, once our order for these mobile phone accessories is completed...

"in addition...

A while ago, I secured several orders for branded clothing manufacturing.

Yes, the negotiations are almost complete, and we expect to officially sign the contract in mid-August!

According to accounting estimates, the overall profit should reach about 10% of the current total profit of Kinmen Manufacturing...

"..."

Huang Chunzhi sat on the sofa with his legs together, back straight, and body slightly leaning forward, adjusting his notebook while giving a detailed report.

Ding Xin, on the other hand, was leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Sipping her fragrant tea, she would nod occasionally, giving him an approving look in return.

for a long time...

Hwang Chun-sik closed his notebook and respectfully summarized: "Kimmun Manufacturing Company's profit for the first half of the year was approximately 60 billion won. Currently, apart from some outstanding payments, the company has a total of 78 billion won in its accounts..."

"Not bad!"

Ding Xin smiled and gave a positive answer.

He then took out a cigarette case, pulled out two cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and casually tossed the other away. Huang Chunzhi caught it in a slightly flustered manner.

"There's one more thing you didn't mention..."

Ding Xin lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, glanced at him, and asked casually, "How's the development of the Kinmen mobile phone going?"

In October of last year.

Ding Xin then gave Huang Chunzhi a task: to go to the United States to discuss licensing matters related to the Android system.

Huang Chunzhi did not disappoint Ding Xin's expectations.

After two weeks of effort, they successfully secured a 20-year Android system licensing agreement.

Not long after returning to China.

Under Ding Xin's instruction, the Kinmen Mobile Phone R&D Team was formed.

Ding Xin has always had a clear vision for Kinmen Manufacturing Company.

In the early stages, it was affiliated with the Tianxia Group, providing them with supporting production while developing its own mobile phone brand belonging to Kinmen.

You could say...

These next few years are a good time to establish an independent smartphone brand.

Only Ding Xin can confirm this!

The future belongs to Android and iOS, but not yet; most people still have their eyes on Symbian.

Only a few people began to try to access the other two major systems.

Currently, brick-shaped mobile phones are undoubtedly number one in global mobile phone market share.

In another time and space...

It wasn't until the first quarter of 2011 that Android's global market share surpassed Symbian for the first time, making it number one in the world.

It wasn't until 2012 that the brick-shaped phone finally relinquished its 15-year reign as the king of mobile phones.

in other words...

Between 2008 and 2011, all mobile phone R&D and manufacturing manufacturers, except for those producing brick-like phones, were on the same starting line!

But Ding Xin chose the future first!

pity...

It has been almost eight months since the research group was established, and a considerable amount of funding has been invested.

However, the finished product is still not fully developed...

Upon hearing this question, Hwang Chun-shik's expression tightened, and he replied softly, "Executive Director, the development of Kinmen mobile phones is currently facing some difficulties. The R&D team has encountered bottlenecks in some key technologies, resulting in slow progress..."

It seems like I said something, but it also seems like I said nothing at all.

In fact...

Ding Xin had heard this answer many times over the past few months.

It used to be okay.

After all, Ding Xin knew that developing a mobile phone was not an easy task.

But how long has it been?

As I recall, those manufacturers in that other timeline seemed to release a new phone every three or four months...

Frowning, Ding Xin immediately said with some displeasure, "Why is it another bottleneck? One bottleneck after another, are these technicians even capable?"

Huang Chunzhi swallowed hard, and said with a forced smile, "The main issues are with the chip performance and the screen..."

He paused at this point.

He carefully observed Ding Xin's expression before continuing, "Because you require it to perfectly run the Android system, debugging the chip alone is a very time-consuming process..."

Moreover, chip development hasn't been smooth sailing; simply copying other mobile phone designs is prone to problems...

We also need to perform in-depth customization of the open-source components of the Android system...

Furthermore, your requirement that our own mobile phone brands must use touch panel displays also requires extensive testing...

In addition, the development of the mobile game you mentioned also needs to proceed simultaneously...

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ding Xin reached out and interrupted Huang Chunzhi's story.

He's completely bewildered. So, it turns out it's all his fault after all this?

In other words, his demands were too high...

Is this why the R&D team's progress is too slow?

Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Ding Xin rubbed his temples and asked, "I don't care about all this nonsense. I just want to know, how much longer will it take to successfully develop it?"

"The R&D team hasn't found an effective solution yet..."

Huang Chunzhi explained softly.

"Ok?"

Ding Xin snorted coldly, his gaze sharp as a knife as he looked at him: "The company will continue to increase its investment; you can bring in more professional talent and technology..."

Ultimately, cell phones aren't exactly high-tech gadgets!

Developing chips is difficult, but that difficulty only becomes apparent when you go from zero to one...

If all else fails, just modify the chips in any mobile phone brand, and try to make it as inconspicuous as possible...

Ways are always more difficult than difficult!

Go and talk to those veteran technicians at Tianxia Mobile...

so...

Five months, I'll give you another five months!

There should be enough time, right?

I want to see the finished product in five months, is that okay?

That’s all.

What else could Hwang Chun-sik do? He could only nod with a bitter face and reply, "I understand, Executive Director-nim, I will definitely do it!"

"very good!"

Ding Xin nodded in satisfaction.

After finishing their business, the two chatted for a while before Huang Chunzhi stood up, bowed, and took his leave.

Ding Xin only needs to say a few words, but he'll have to run himself ragged.

There's a whole host of things waiting for him.

No sooner had Huang Chunzhi left than Wu Xiu arrived at Ding Xin's office...
