Chapter 127: Damn Rich Man
"Is this the plan you finally came up with after working hard for half a month?"
Bai Yi threw the plan back on the table and glanced at the R&D staff present: "Because of the success of the fifth generation of Huanyou Tablet, the newly developed sixth generation is a replica of the fifth generation except for the different model, and then consumers are directly asked to buy it?"
Her tone gradually turned colder, with an air of authority without anger: "Do you think I'm easy to fool, or do you think consumers are fools?"
The head of the product design department said tremblingly: "In addition to inheriting the advantages of the fifth generation, the sixth generation has added cool colors that young people like now. In addition, the size has also been greatly improved. It is mainly light and easy to carry, which better meets the needs of consumers when going out. And compared with the fifth generation, the sixth generation has some minor performance improvements, which will give consumers a better user experience."
Bai Yi looked at him coldly: "If the new generation of products can't even do these basic updates and iterations, then you won't be able to stay in this position for long. As for the experience you mentioned, do you mean the upgraded processor technology, and the added eye protection technology and screen recording function?"
The person in charge nodded awkwardly.
Bai Yi leaned forward slightly, with a chilling sense of oppression: "If consumers spend thousands of dollars to buy new products, but can't even enjoy these basic performances, they might as well buy our competitors directly. Why spend money to help the company support you useless people?"
After she finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, and no one dared to step forward and die.
In this terrible atmosphere, they heard Mr. Bai's voice with obvious sarcasm: "I think you are too comfortable in the laboratory and don't even understand the most basic needs of consumers. I said that the company is not a place for you to retire. If you still think that you can live on the success of just one product, get out as soon as possible!"
Bai Yi glanced at the staff below again, and then noticed the person standing outside the meeting room. When their eyes met, the other person was still staring at him intently with admiration in his eyes.
They stared at each other for a few seconds, and the other party showed no intention of avoiding her. Bai Yi's mood instantly improved.
Because Ning Yuechen had never looked directly at him like this before. Every time she looked at him, she either avoided him or glanced at him. This was the first time that she looked at him so frankly.
When the staff in the conference room were preparing for a bigger storm, they suddenly heard Mr. Bai's suddenly gentle voice and could not help but look up in surprise.
"The main consumer groups of the Phantom Tablet are students and office workers. Their common demand is the convenience brought by this product in learning and listening to lectures. Therefore, the advent of the sixth generation cannot be limited to the traditional touch screen mode, but must carry out technological reform and innovation to increase..."
Bai Yi finished his speech concisely, then looked at the general managers sitting on the left and right of the front row: "I'll give you three days. I want to see a brand new product plan. And the basic ideas have been provided to you. If you can't do it well, you will be fired."
The two directors of the Product Planning Department and the Design Department nodded quickly: "Okay, Mr. Bai, we will revise the plan immediately after the meeting and will definitely give you a satisfactory result."
"It better be this way."
Bai Yi glanced at the people who had left the meeting room at some point, frowned slightly, and said, "Today's meeting ends here, everyone should go and do your own things."
"Okay, Mr. Bai."
"Boss Bai, goodbye."
After everyone had left, Bai Yi completely relaxed his body, leaned his back against the leather chair behind him, and began to close his eyes to rest.
But it only took a few dozen seconds before she opened her eyes again, then stood up and walked outside.
Ning Yuechen sat on a soft chair in the lounge, drinking milk tea while using a memo to organize the notes from the visit. Just as he was concentrating, he heard a cold voice above his head: "Not bad."
She was startled and looked up subconsciously, only to meet Bai Yi's slightly peach-like eyes, which did not have a trace of charm or temptation.
It was during this defenseless eye contact that she suddenly recalled the incident at the holiday construction site in the suburbs of Guangzhou a year ago. This man roughly threw her on the sofa and pointed a gun at her, moving his gun inch by inch on her body, with a vicious look in his eyes that disregarded all legal systems.
To this day, Ning Yuechen still clearly remembers the murderous intent that gradually gathered in Bai Yi's eyes when he looked at her. This also became her nightmare for a long time afterwards.
Seeing her staring at him absentmindedly again, Bai Yi felt more cheerful. When he spoke again, his voice was filled with a rare tenderness: "It seems that Chief Engineer Zhou explained it to you in great detail, and you also remembered the key points."
Ning Yuechen lowered his eyes to hide the fear that was about to burst out, and said, "Chief Engineer Zhou is very good. He took me to see all the places in the base that can be visited, and what he explained was very easy to understand. I can understand some of the technical aspects."
"That's why I asked him to show you around."
Bai Yi looked at the time and said, "It's already two o'clock. You haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll take you to eat."
Ning Yuechen didn't want to go out to eat with her alone, so he said, "I just heard Chief Engineer Zhou say that there is a cafeteria at the base. It's not only open 24 hours a day, but the food is also very good. How about eating here?"
"The staff at the base are very hard-working. Some of them have to squeeze out time to eat. If they see me eating in the cafeteria, they will probably either not eat well or leave immediately. So in order not to affect their appetite, it's better for me not to show up."
Ning Yuechen was speechless, thinking that this man had a clear understanding of himself and was indeed a boss who looked like a decent person.
Half an hour later, the two walked into a high-end Western restaurant in the city.
The door of the box opened. Ning Yuechen looked at the elegant design inside and the prosperous scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but glance sideways at the person next to him.
As expected of a wealthy CEO who earns millions a day, even a simple lunch is so luxurious and ceremonial.
As soon as they sat down, the waiter handed the two of them a tablet computer for ordering and said respectfully, "You two go ahead and order. I'll be waiting outside. If you need anything, just ring the bell and call me."
Ning Yuechen glanced at Bai Yi who was looking at the menu across from him and said, "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome." The waiter bowed slightly and then walked out of the private room.
As soon as the door closed, Bai Yi asked her, "What do you want to eat?"
Although Ning Yuechen was also very hungry, he lost his appetite when he thought about having a meal with her alone in such a closed space. He just said, "A well-done steak will be fine. I don't like eating raw."
The reason she said this is because she knew about the discrimination and prejudice against well-done steaks in these so-called high-end restaurants that symbolize the upper class.
Even though she had been in the Bai family for more than ten years, she still couldn't understand some of the so-called discrimination chains in this circle.
Bai Yi didn't react to her words, and only asked: "Is it okay to eat so little, as I have other work arrangements in the afternoon?"
Ning Yuechen also felt that what she said made sense. After all, working with this person was really energy-consuming and physically demanding, so he said, "Add another serving of cream of mushroom soup."
"Okay, I've ordered all of their new products and specials, you can try some later."
Ning Yuechen glanced at the prices on the menu: "......"
A meal costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sure enough, she doesn’t understand the world of rich people.
