72: Chapter 72 You think you can win an award?

In fact, the specific parameters for the ideal a9 had already been mostly finalized.

The company had even produced a portion of the samples,

and software adaptation was currently underway.

Xue Haixin began to mentally recite the parameters of the ideal a9.

First, it utilized a new generation of Ideal processors,

the Ideal 7-series processor.

This was an eight-core, 64-bit processor.

Currently, most processors on the market were still quad-core,

even the ideal a8 series phones used quad-core processors.

Upgrading from a quad-core to an eight-core processor now,

one could say the performance upgrade for the ideal a9 phone was massive.

In addition, the phone was currently set to have 4+32GB of internal storage.

While this storage was considered standard in the current domestic mobile market,

and 4GB of RAM wasn't small,

many manufacturers had already adopted it.

The 32GB of storage was even less worth mentioning,

as many manufacturers had long since adopted higher 64GB storage options.

However, the ideal a9 supported memory expansion of up to 128GB!

This was something Xue Haixin had specifically ordered to be added

to increase the ideal a9's competitiveness.

After expanding with a memory card,

the ideal a9 could reach 4+160GB of storage.

160GB of storage—

who else on the market could achieve that?

This storage was already higher than some laptops currently on the market.

Besides that, there were even more 'black technologies'.

For instance, Ideal's proudest fast-charging technology, Super Charge,

had achieved another breakthrough,

with charging power reaching 20W.

This would be a very noticeable point for the consumer experience,

so Li Xiang Technology would inevitably focus its promotion on it.

Xue Haixin had even thought of the slogan for the release at this moment:

"Charge for five minutes, talk for two hours!"

The first reaction of an ordinary person hearing such a slogan would likely be one of shock.

Then there was the phone's appearance and design.

The ideal a9 featured a 5.5-inch Full HD screen,

using 2.5D curved glass on the surface,

making the edges more comfortable

and making the bezels on both sides appear narrower,

looking almost like a bezel-less phone.

The entire body also learned from Apple,

crafted entirely from a single piece of aluminum alloy.

Not only did it make the body look thinner and lighter,

but more importantly, metal brought an indefinable sense of quality,

making the feel of the ideal a9 phone truly unrivaled!

This quality was not even inferior to Apple!

Furthermore,

regarding the phone's imaging capabilities,

the ideal a9's rear camera was 16 megapixels,

and the front camera was 8 megapixels.

While not an exceptionally large breakthrough,

it was still considered top-tier.

And more importantly,

seeing that xiaomi phones had a beauty mode on their front cameras,

and user feedback had been very positive,

Xue Haixin had also very cunningly added a beauty effect to the front camera this time.

Question Xiaomi,

Learn from Xiaomi,

Surpass Xiaomi!

Reciting these parameters,

Xue Haixin was full of confidence in the ideal a9,

feeling that once launched, it would inevitably cause a bloodbath in the mobile market,

further consolidating Li Xiang Phone's current position as the domestic overlord of mobile phones.

Not only that,

Xue Haixin was also smugly confident about the upcoming World Mobile Communication Congress.

He felt that as long as he brought such a work to participate in that so-called World Mobile Communication Congress,

he would surely take home the grand prize,

winning subsidies from the country and government as well as tax-exempt policy benefits.

Then he would see what those old fossils in the company would dare to say about him!

The mobilization meeting lasted for over an hour.

The speeches by several ministers were quite motivating.

Xue Haixin could clearly see that many manufacturers nearby were tempted by the congress.

In fact, they were primarily tempted by the tax exemption policies and government subsidies that would follow an award.

To this, Xue Haixin only gave a contemptuous smile.

Humph!

Just with you lot?

You also want to win awards and get government subsidies and tax incentives?

You don't deserve it!

Why don't you take a look at yourselves in a pool of your own piss,

and see what your status is?!

Isn't this a toad lusting after swan meat?

After the meeting, everyone left the hall.

Xue Haixin was just about to head back to properly prepare for the World Mobile Communication Congress

when he was called out to by a beautiful assistant in a work uniform at the venue.

“Hello, are you Mr. Xue Haixin, the representative of Li Xiang Technology?”

Xue Haixin nodded: “I am.

Is there something I can help you with?”

The beautiful assistant flashed a sweet smile and said: “Mr. Xue,

please don't leave just yet.

Several ministers would like to meet with you

to have a face-to-face talk.

Please follow me this way.”

She led the way as she spoke.

Hearing that several ministers wanted to see him,

Xue Haixin followed behind,

looking arrogant and walking with great strides.

Several representatives from other small manufacturers nearby also heard the assistant's words.

Being personally received by three ministers could be considered a great honor,

and it made them very envious.

“As expected of Li Xiang Technology,

to even be personally received by ministers!”

“If only my company could be this impressive one day.”

“Stop dreaming, just keep your feet on the ground and work hard.”

“It seems the central government has high hopes for Li Xiang Technology!”

Under such high-profile attention,

Xue Haixin arrived at a reception room backstage of the auditorium.

Several ministers were sitting with their legs crossed,

smoking cigarettes,

and were currently chatting and laughing.

Seeing Xue Haixin enter,

they greeted him warmly: “Xiao Xue, is it?

Come, sit, sit!”

They pointed to an empty sofa nearby,

signaling for Xue Haixin not to be too formal

and to sit there.

Xue Haixin might have dared to be smug in front of outsiders,

but in front of several ministers, he immediately changed his posture,

bowing and scraping,

and constantly smiling apologetically.

“Hello, Ministers! Hello!”

While greeting the ministers,

he also sat down on the soft sofa.

The sofa was very comfortable to sit on.

Xue Haixin couldn't help but marvel that as expected of the central government's reception room,

it was much more impressive than Li Xiang Technology's,

even the sofas were much more comfortable.

The three ministers were also wearing smiles as they

looked at Xue Haixin.

Cheng Huachang, the Minister of Science and Technology, said with a beam: “Xiao Xue,

regarding this World Mobile Communication Congress,

does your Li Xiang Technology have any thoughts?”

Xue Haixin immediately sat up straight,

straightened his back, and said respectfully: “Minister Cheng,

of course our Li Xiang Technology has thoughts!

After all, as you know,

our Li Xiang Technology currently ranks first domestically in patents related to mobile phones or mobile communication,

possessing a vast number of patents.

As the big brother of domestic mobile phones,

we must of course lead by example!

I feel that with such an opportunity to win glory for the country,

our Li Xiang Technology will definitely not miss out!”

“Good! That's the spirit!”

The three ministers also nodded one after another,

casting appreciative glances at Xue Haixin.
