Chapter 139

“Alright, I’ll make sure to complete the task!” Kenny nodded.

This was a test given by Carlisle. He had to complete it no matter what.

“Is anyone using Riley’s phone?” Carlisle inquired the crowd.

Everyone present except Hank took out a small, delicate flip phone, resembling the Motorola Razr V3

that had just been released this year.

Logan handed her phone to Carlisle and sald proudly, “This is the Motorola Razr V3. It took only three

months from designing it to selling it in the market.”

After trying it for a moment, Carlisle smiled and asked, “It’s basically a Motorola knockoff, right? How

are

the sales volumes and profit?”

Logan blushed. She lost her confidence when it came to sales volume.

She said embarrassedly, “It’s been on the market for two months, and… we’ve only sold over six

thousand units. The profit per phone is around a thousand dollars.

“With a production line for over 16 hundred employees, the production capacity should be large enough

in two months. Where did those phones go?” Carlisle asked in confusion.

“Our sales were bad because the competition was too aggressive. Mr. Davis was pressured by the

creditors and had to mortgage the remaining inventory to high–interest loans to fill the funding gap.”

Logan sighed softly.

“Alright, let’s not discuss this anymore. It’s almost time to get off work. Kenny, Logan, and Hank, you

three please stay back. The rest of you can leave,” Carlisle instructed.

He wanted to talk to Logan about product development, but the product he had in mind was too

extraordinary. So, he sent the others away to avoid causing too much of a stir.

Once the rest left the room, Carlisle got up and closed the door. Logan and the others stared at him

intently, not knowing what he was up to.

“Let’s talk about phone development!” Carlisle said seriously.

He stared at Logan and said in a deep voice, “I plan to create a buttonless full–screen phone.”

“A buttonless phone?” Logan was a little dumbfounded.

Kenny laughed as well. He then asked, “How do you use it without buttons?”

Hank had even gotten tired of questioning Carlisle.

There was a time when everyone called Hank crazy. Now it seemed that Carlisle was the crazy one.

Carlisle picked up a piece of paper and a pen from the table and then drew the outline of a rectangle

with rounded corners.

Chapte: 139

The three of them leaned in to look at the drawing.

“Is… Is this a phone?” Logan’s eyes widened.

It was impossible for a phone to look like this. It looked more like a brick!

“This is the resistive screen. We can only activate the software by touching the screen,” Carlisle

explained

briefly

Although the capacitive screen had yet to be developed, the resistive screen was already on the

market. Only a few phone manufacturers used it.

Logan was the head of the R&D department, after all. She was likely to be imaginative.

As Carlisle explained, a picture of a buttonless full–screen phone that could start the software by

touching the icons naturally formed in her mind.

As soon as this image appeared, Logan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Such a phone could only appear in science fiction movies. If such a phone could really be made, it

would definitely subvert the phone industry’s entire perception.

Hank and Kenny roughly understood what Carlisle meant. They were equally astonished.

They couldn’t imagine what kind of phone Carlisle was going to make.

Logan came back to her senses and asked, “Then how do you type and chat on it?”
