Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

s in the market were card war games.
Mobile war games like Bloody Battle Song were now considered too hardcore and had become very rare.

Less hardcore mobile games did not require screens with a high refresh rate; neither did they require a lot of battery.

Thus, from the perspective of consumers, Otto Technologies’ cell phone would be quite… useless.

It was manufactured by a random brand that no one had heard of, and it was quite heavy.
These two points alone were enough to form a horrible first impression in consumers’ eyes.

Seeing Boss Pei in deep thought made Chang You think that he was unhappy with the prototype.
Thus, he quickly said, “Boss Pei, this is only a prototype.
We haven’t started producing it in bulk.

“If you think it is too heavy, we can think of other things.
For example, we could cut down the battery’s capacity to about 4000 mAh.
That would probably cut 200 grams from the cell phone’s weight…”

Pei Qian quickly raised his hand.
“No, it’s quite good this way! “No matter how good the cell phone’s functions are-if it runs out of battery, it would be as good as a brick.
It would not be able to do anything.
We have to make sure that the cell phone would have enough battery, so that nobody would have to worry about battery life!

“The battery capacity is good now.
It would make our cell phones stand out.
You have to keep it this way, understand?!

“All in all, I’m very happy with this prototype.
This was the ideal cell phone I had in mind!

“That’s about all I have to say for the hardware.
I’ll try the system out now.” Pei Qian tried out the Otto OS for the second time.

Chang You had been worried at first, but Boss Pei seemed unexpectedly satisfied.
He quickly said, “Alright, Boss Pei.
If you have any more suggestions, you can raise them at any time.

“There’s another thing.
We’re in the process of custom-making the cell phone’s appearance.
We’re matching colors for the back cover, working on the logo, and the like.
We want to make the cell phone as beautiful as possible so as to attract more customers…”

As Pei Qian scanned the cell phone, he shook his head and asked, “The color of its back cover?

“Don’t distract yourselves with so many unnecessary decorations.
Just make it a pure, simple color.

“If you think it looks ugly, just place a logo on it.
That’s what Pineapple does, right?”

Chang You felt light-headed.
“Then… what if it still looks ugly?”

Pei Qian looked up at him.
“Make the logo bigger to cover it.”

Chang You was speechless.

What the h*ll did he mean by ‘make the logo bigger’?! Did he mean that bigger logos would distract customers from the color of the back cover?

At the moment, many flagship cell phone models had back covers of varying colors.
What’s more, all of those colors were given special, meaningful names.
That was one of the emerging trends in the local cell phone industry.

Yet, Boss Pei had an altogether different taste.
Not only was he forbidding them from creating the cell phone in various colors, but he was also asking them to use a simple color.
On top of that, he wanted to make the logo bigger.

At the moment, only Pineapple cell phones had huge logos on the back cover and were still selling well.

That was because creating huge logos reflected one’s immense confidence in the brand.
If an unknown brand enlarged their logo on their cell phones, customers might be asked an extremely awkward question whenever they picked their cell phones up: “Ai, what brand is that?”

Thus, most domestic cell phone brands placed their logos in low-key positions and made their back covers look more dazzling.
That made cell phones of other brands significantly different from Pineapple’s.

Otherwise, those brands would be cursed horribly.

If Chang You had been allowed to decide, he would probably have chosen to go with the bulk of other domestic cell phone manufacturers and created a dazzling back cover with a low-key logo.

However, now that Boss Pei had given him clear instructions, Chang You had no other choice but to rack his brains to fulfill his requests.

Pei Qian continued toying with the 250-gram machine, feeling surprised inside.

There were no more bugs this time!

It looked like Chang You had been working hard during this period.
He had repaired all the bugs that had appeared before, and the system was now much more stable.

After playing for about ten minutes, only three or four bugs appeared.
What’s more, none of them had affected the cell phones’ usability.

Chang You visibly sat more upright.

It had not been easy! So many bugs had appeared before.
He had been crushed.

After that, Chang You had led his team of brothers to work even harder than before.
Finally, they had repaired most of the bugs.

What’s more, in order to prepare for this reporting session, everyone had spent several days testing the system out.
Their confidence had recovered only after they had confirmed that no more bugs could be found.

Even then, Boss Pei still managed to find three minor bugs.
Chang You was shocked.

Did Boss Pei have the innate ability to draw bugs out of programs and products?

Still, the session had been a success.

Chang You deliberated for a moment and said, “Boss Pei, the system is now much more stable than before.
Can we start working on those new functions?”

Pei Qian was silent.

He’s not giving up!

Pei Qian’s expression darkened as he answered strictly, “It’s not good to try and bite off more than you can chew!

“Where are you now? There are so many things to improve within the original Android System.
Are you already satisfied now that you’ve only managed to repair a few bugs?

“Go back and continue improving it.
The details are still not as good as they can be!”

Chang You took back the cell phone, visibly confused.

The details were still not as good as they could be? They had more or less caught up with most other domestic cell phone manufacturers; how was that still not good enough?

However, Chang You did not dare to question Boss Pei any further and had no choice but to take the cell phone quietly.
He planned to go back to self-reflect.

He still had not managed to push the system’s research and development work to the next stage this time.

Although the final version of the cell phone was becoming clearer, Chang You felt that he was drifting further from his own expectations.
