my return 2002

Chapter 230 Mobile Terminal
There are more and more reports about Shen Lang, and even a small increase in the number of new users of YY, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the celebrity effect.

"How does it feel to be famous?"

As soon as Shen Lang arrived at the company that day, Lei Jun joked.

Shen Lang shrugged: "Not bad, at least a little better than I imagined."

While talking, Shen Lang's cell phone rang, and it turned out to be Chen Tianqiao calling.

Lei Jun was a little puzzled: "He actually called you?"

Although he was puzzled, Shen Lang still pressed the answer button.

"Hey."

Chen Tianqiao's tone was relatively calm, and he just asked: "Mr. Shen, do you have time recently? Long time no see, let's find a place to have a drink."

Shen Lang looked like he saw a ghost, Chen Tianqiao actually asked him to drink?This is really the first time ever.

"Okay, I can do it anytime."

After thinking about it, Shen Lang still agreed, and it would be good to see what medicine the other party bought in the gourd.

"Then let's do it today. I'll give you a message at the location later. See you soon."

After hanging up the phone, Lei Jun rubbed his chin and smacked his mouth: "What kind of medicine is sold in this Chen Tianqiao gourd?"

In the past few months, Chen Tianqiao and Shanda have been extremely low-key. The main reason is that the criticism of online games in the society has become increasingly loud recently. A group of parents clamored to ban online games. Shanda, as the largest game company in the mainland, develops and represents games There are dozens of models in total, so they naturally become the target of public criticism, and they are the best.

In order to avoid the limelight, Chen Tianqiao didn't even go to the West Lake Discussion of Swords this time, which caused Ding Sanshi to be scolded for him, but at this time he suddenly came to Shen Lang, obviously not for the simple purpose of reminiscing about the old days.

What's more, there is no friendship between Shen Lang and Chen Tianqiao. On the contrary, because of the competition in the game business, the relationship was once tense.

"Forget it, leave him alone, you'll know when the time comes." Shen Lang also couldn't figure it out, glanced at the address on the text message, and ignored it.

Lei Jun thought about it, so he didn't get entangled anymore, but started to report some company's recent situation to Shen Lang.

"The project of building a data center in North China has already been pre-planned, with an estimated investment of 3 million yuan, but the site selection has not yet been decided. I think it's best for you to go and inspect it yourself."

Shen Lang nodded: "Well, let's go together when the time comes, you know the land in the north better than me."

"Okay." Lei Jun responded, and then said to Shen Lang: "By the way, yesterday your mobile phone was turned off, and Mr. Wang from Huayi called me, saying that the [Zhu Xian] movie will start in Hengdian on the 20th. , I want to invite you to attend the launch conference."

As he spoke, he handed Shen Lang a document.

To put it bluntly, the project of "Zhu Xian" is also full of twists and turns. At the beginning, Huayi spent a lot of effort to find Chen Jiashang to direct the film, and finally persuaded him. As a result, during the audition, Chen Jiashang felt that Zhu Yin was too much. Mature, unable to play Baguio's agility, and also did not use Huayi's actresses, the two sides have been at a stalemate for a long time.

There is no way, who made Chen Jiashang the director appointed by Shen Lang, Huayi could only make concessions, but proposed to hold a national selection, on the one hand, it can promote "Zhu Xian", on the other hand, it can train new talents for Huayi, after all, Wang Jinghua just Leaving Huayi, he took away many first-line stars.

Originally, this plan was pretty good, but who would have thought that when Super Girl exploded, Super Girl reported all summer, and [Zhu Xian]'s search for Baguio received little attention, which made Huayi very depressed .

Fortunately, in the selection of actors, Huayi still found some good seedlings. Among them, the one who was selected as the protagonist to play Baguio was a 16-year-old actor named Song Tie newly signed by Huayi.

"It's her?" Shen Lang was taken aback when he saw the actor's information.

"You know him?" Lei Jun leaned over to take a look, and looked at Shen Lang suspiciously, looking like she was still a child.

Shen Lang rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Get out."

Continuing to flip through the actor's profile, Shen Lang was stunned for a moment because he saw Liu Tianxian's photo.

"Didn't she fail to agree on her salary?"

Lei Jun thought for a while: "Oh, Mr. Wang said, didn't she just sign with Sony Records? After Sony heard about it, they negotiated with Huayi. They were willing to make up the difference, so they gave the female number two her."

After closing the materials, Shen Lang called Wang Zhonglei and said that he could attend. Wang Zhonglei was overjoyed. Recently, Shen Lang has been getting a lot of attention. With him coming to stand for [Zhu Xian], he can do more in publicity.

After hanging up the phone, Lei Jun reported some company situation to Shen Lang. Around 11:30, Shen Lang came out of the company and went to a nearby restaurant. It only took a few minutes to walk, and he didn't even need to drive. It's a good choice to choose here.

Entering the restaurant, the waiter led Shen Lang to a box, opened the door and saw Chen Tianqiao and Tan Qunzhao chatting about something, seeing Shen Lang, both of them stood up.

Chen Tianqiao also showed a kind smile to Shen Lang.

Tan Qunzhao enthusiastically helped Shen Lang open the chair: "Boss Shen, please take a trip, you have worked hard."

"Oh, it's not hard, it's only a few minutes away from our company." Shen Lang looked very relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was secretly vigilant. There is a saying: "Being courteous, one must ask for something."

Tan Qunzhao called the waiter to order, and then complimented Shen Lang: "President Shen has been in the limelight recently, and your famous sayings are now regarded as mottos by some young people."

Shen Lang smiled lightly: "Oh, how can my little achievements be compared with Mr. Chen's richest man in mainland China? You're flattering me too much."

Seeing that Shen Lang didn't get in, Tan Qunzhao couldn't do anything, and looked at Chen Tianqiao.

Chen Tianqiao said sternly: "Mr. Shen, then I will not say anything. I am making a piece of hardware that can connect TVs and computers. It is called Shanda Box. As long as this product is made, hundreds of millions of TV users across the country will , you can become a network user”

Chen Tianqiao talked about the grand blueprint of the grand box for a while, and Shen Lang instantly understood Chen Tianqiao's intentions.

Although Shanda has many products and rich content in terms of games, other types of software applications can only be described as a mess.Hardware and software complement each other, without the support of software, hardware is a pile of scrap iron.

Apparently, Chen Tianqiao wanted Shen Lang to port YY software to Shanda Box.

"Business is not good, Mr. Chen, I still have something to do, so let's go first."

After Shen Lang finished speaking, he left the box directly, what are you kidding, what kind of daydream is Chen Tianqiao doing?Porting the software to another terminal is not simply a matter of copying and pasting. It also needs to be modified and optimized in conjunction with this terminal. This is not a simple project and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Moreover, Shanda Box can't be made at all. In Shen Lang's impression, the cost of Shanda Box is extremely high, even more expensive than a computer. Are users careless?Buying a console just to play computer games on TV?

Not to mention the policy risks, the Shanda Box has become a dream come true when the ban comes down.

Ten thousand steps back, even if a grand box can be made, how can Shen Lang give his lifeline to others?Can't he do it himself?

After Shen Lang left, the atmosphere in the private room was extremely oppressive. Both Tan Qunzhao and Chen Tianqiao's expressions were extremely ugly, especially Chen Tianqiao's chest heaved violently, obviously very angry.

"This little red guy is really arrogant!" Chen Tianqiao slapped the table hard and cursed.

Tan Qunzhao asked cautiously: "Mr. Chen, what should we do now?"

The reason why he asked Shen Lang to cooperate is because he has a rich product line, as long as he is dealt with, it is easy to deal with other people. shook hands and left.

Chen Tianqiao snorted coldly: "Hmph, without Butcher Shen, can we still eat hairy pigs? When my grand box is ready, he just kneels and begs me, and I won't answer him!"

The corner of Tan Qunzhao's mouth twitched, but he swallowed the words in the end. In fact, he hoped that Shen Lang's refusal would make Chen Tianqiao more cautious about the Shanda Box, but unexpectedly, it completely angered Chen Tianqiao.

"Ugh."

Tan Qunzhao could only sigh in his heart.

Lei Jun was eating a boxed lunch. When he saw Shen Lang came back, he asked in surprise, "Didn't Chen Tianqiao treat you to dinner? Why did you come back?"

Shen Lang asked the lady at the front desk to order a lunch box for her, and then explained the situation.

Lei Jun was shocked by the unconstrained conception of Shanda Box: "Chen Tianqiao is really a genius."

Shen Lang also admitted that Chen Tianqiao's thinking is indeed very advanced, but in the domestic TV box, except for radio and television, whoever touches it will die. There was Chen Tianqiao before, and Jia Accountant later.
"You didn't agree?" Lei Jun saw that Shen Lang came back so early and didn't even eat, so he guessed the result.

Shen Lang nodded, and said his thoughts again, and Lei Jun thought about it, and he also felt that it made sense.

"Shanda doesn't have any experience in hardware. Cost control alone is enough to overwhelm him. If Huawei and ZTE do this, maybe there is still hope for success."

Just as he was talking, the boxed lunch was delivered, and Shen Lang started to devour it. Suddenly, Shen Lang's hand stopped, and Lei Jun thought he was choking, so he quickly handed him water.

Seeing Shen Lang's sluggish look, he couldn't help pushing with his hands, but Shen Lang waved at him and continued to frown.

After a while, Shen Lang suddenly said to Lei Jun: "Say, how about we also make a piece of hardware?"

Lei Jun was dumbfounded, didn't this guy criticize Shanda Box for nothing just now?Why do you want to trap yourself now?

"It's not the kind of Shanda Box, I mean, can we make a mobile terminal." Shen Lang said seriously.

"Mobile terminal?" Lei Jun looked at Shen Lang puzzled.

Shen Lang scratched his head a little, but he wasn't sure if it could be achieved with the current technology.

"That's right, look, there are many people who read novels online and log into QQ through Monternet, but the screen of the mobile phone is flawed, and it is actually very inconvenient for users to use it. Can we make a screen Larger mobile terminals, which can accommodate all our products, will make up for our lack of mobile terminals.”

In fact, as early as 2000, China Mobile launched the Monternet project. However, at that time, mobile phones did not have multimedia functions and could only be used to make calls and send text messages. It was not until 2004 that Monternet gradually entered the lives of ordinary people. Life.

QQ is also the first batch of projects selected by Monternet.

In the beginning, Shen Lang also wanted to follow the QQ route. He added YY to Monternet and developed a mobile app, but when he found Mobile, the reply he got was: It has been reported, please wait patiently.

There is no news at all for more than a year. It can only be said that Xiao Ma is worthy of being an "ordinary family".

The reason why YY is so different from QQ users is that the mobile terminal is also an important reason. Many QQ users will use QQ on their mobile phones to increase their experience points.

Lei Jun was a little short-circuited by Shen Lang's sudden astonishing idea, and it took him a while to recover.

"You're not joking, are you?"

Shen Lang stared at him: "Do you look at me like I'm joking?"

"But, can this thing work?" Lei Jun thought that Shen Lang might have been infected by Chen Tianqiao.

Shen Lang didn't bother to eat the boxed lunch anymore, took a big sip of water, and sat up straight.

"First of all, is there a market for this mobile terminal?"

Lei Jun thought for a while, and frowned slightly: "It stands to reason that there should be a market."

"Okay, since there is a market, the second question is, what is the core competitiveness of this mobile terminal."

Lei Jun nodded.

Shen Lang organized the language: "First of all, the screen is large. Whether it is reading novels, listening to music, or watching videos, the look and feel is better than that of a mobile phone. Secondly, it is more convenient to carry than a computer, and it can fit in a larger pocket. Finally, there are many applications. , Our product line alone can meet most of the needs of users for surfing the Internet, and we can also cooperate with other products to enrich the product line.”

This idea is indeed a bit unbelievable, but if it is completely impossible to realize, it seems that it is not possible. MP4 for large-screen multimedia has appeared as early as 2002. It has become popular in recent years, not to mention bad streets. Shen Lang proposed This mobile terminal is actually a bit like an MP4 that can access the Internet.

At least technically, it is possible.

"However, we are just an Internet company, and we don't have the technical reserves and experience to make hardware."

This is the only reason Lei Jun can find to persuade Shen Lang, no, it should be said to persuade himself to give up this plan.

In fact, he was also fascinated by the grand blueprint drawn by Shen Lang.

Shen Lang shrugged: "Then buy an experienced one, anyway, I still have a lot of cash in my hand."

The 1.2 million US dollars cashed out from Ninetowns is equivalent to almost 10 billion RMB. Even if the 3 million budget of the North China Data Hong Center is thrown out, there are still 7 million in hand.

This cash flow is also the basis for Shen Lang to dare to propose this plan. The 7 million at this time is definitely a huge sum of money.

Even if it is not enough, Shen Lang can still raise funds. With the momentum of his four companies, as long as the wind is released, domestic and foreign capital will rush to send money.
