My Return to Life

Close the lid of the computer, Fang Nian took out a blank A4 paper, took a pen and wrote some words:

QQ, WeChat, UC browser, Alipay, Sogou input method...

The serial number is marked in front of the text.

Next, Fang Nian marked new things under this line of text.

Tencent, Xiaomi Mi Talk, Lei Zhe Investment, Ali, third parties...

Finally, a circle was drawn outside these words.

Wrote a few words: application ecosystem.

According to Fang Nian's memory, these are the softwares with the largest number of users in the past two years, which can be regarded as a superficial application ecosystem.

Then Fang Nian wrote a label on this piece of paper: 10 years.

Putting down the pen, picking up the mobile phone on the desk, Fang Nian quickly slid the screen to make a call.

"Beep~beep~beep~beep~"

After the fourth ring, the call was connected.

"Hey."

After hearing the voice, Fang Nian smiled and said, "Good evening, President Lei, I'm sorry to interrupt."

"Good evening, Mr. Fang." Lei Zhe said with a smile, "President Fang is still calling me at such a late hour. What's the matter?"

Fang Nian didn't mean anything, and said directly: "Yes."

"There are things I want to talk to President Lei."

Lei Zhe hurriedly said, "Fang always said it's okay."

"Just a video chat with my partner, a few words inadvertently gave me a bit of thought, please ask General Staff Lei."

Fang Nian did not take credit for Lu Weiyu.

"In your opinion, what is the most important factor for most young consumers in our country to choose a mobile phone?"

This question asked Lei Zhe.

He replied uncertainly: "Appearance, price, long standby time..."

Fang Nian smiled: "My partner said to me: The mobile phone does not support QQ."

"Mr Lei can go to the mobile phone store to observe, and he will definitely see a line written on the price tag card of the mobile phone in the cabinet: Support mobile QQ."

Lei Zhe immediately reacted, but his tone was very hesitant: "General Fang meant..."

"I don't know if Lei always pays attention to the current status of the development of smart phones at the international level, especially in the field of smart phone operating systems." Fang Nian followed good advice.

Lei Zhe said in a calm tone: "I have concerns, but I don't know what Fang always refers to."

Hearing this, Fang Nian smiled and joked: "Mr. Lei, you are a little bit frank;

Since Meizu released the M8 last year, you have repeatedly shown the benefits of this smartphone in public. "

With a choke of Lei Zhe, Fang Nian's conversation turned, and his tone was serious.

"As far as I know, there are many smartphone operating systems in the world, and the market is chaotic, but none of them has anything to do with China."

"Does Fang always refer to BlackBerry, MeeGo, or Android, iPhoneOS, WCE?" Lei Zhe asked subconsciously.

Fang Nian casually said: "WCE will undoubtedly be the past tense. Microsoft has been pushing WP since last month, and it will obviously be the main focus."

Then he added a seemingly random sentence: "Mr. Lei, the world is blossoming, and China seems to be forgotten."

Contacting what Fang Nian said before, Lei Zhe suddenly reacted: "General Fang means that Xiaomi can directly develop the smartphone operating system, and only need QQ to develop the corresponding version, can it win the basic market?"

"It's almost what it meant." Fang Nian did not deny it.

Then he said calmly: "Mr. Lei, I speak directly.

In my opinion, the mobile phone operating system is a platform. In addition to the necessary built-in applications, the criterion for success is market acceptance;

There are basically two aspects: user experience and upper application ecology;

Instead of following Meizu to develop a more convenient and easy-to-use UI for Android, why not directly develop an operating system? "

Hearing this, Lei Zhe sighed, his tone a little helpless: "Zong Fang has really sharp eyes."

This sentence is tantamount to a disguised acknowledgment that Fang Nian has seen through Xiaomi's original intention of starting a business.

Without Fang Nian's intervention, Xiaomi will develop on the original track, and the story inside will become the past of Chinese mobile phones.

Without Guan Qiuhe's talent, Fang Nian would have had difficulty getting to know Lei Zhe so early.

Because at this time, standing in front of the stage is actually the partner Lei Zhe invited, Lin Bing.

Lei Zhe lives behind the scenes.

In fact, Lei Zhe had a hunch when Fang Nian suddenly mentioned the word "Meizu". The first-year students he invited to spend 5% of the permanent shares for an unprecedented time had a brilliant vision, which would inevitably far exceed his imagination.

The fact is true.

Fang Nian said frankly: "There are a lot of Lei."

Turning the conversation, he said: "Currently, the top five mobile phone application downloads in China must be: QQ, UC browser, Sogou input method, these can be discussed and cooperated."

Lei Zhe heard a moment of silence, and it took a long time before he spoke: "President Fang, you said this inexplicably, I think things are simple."

Hearing this, Fang Nian said with a smile: "It's not complicated at first, UC browser is owned by UTV, which is invested by Mr. Lei;

I heard that Sohu intends to make Sogou independent and introduce strategic investment;

As for QQ, maybe the Mi Talk developed by Xiaomi can replace it. "

Lei Zhe also laughed: "How come you have to self-contain the application ecology in the blink of an eye?"

"Mr Lei misunderstood, I'm just talking about an extreme situation." Fang Nian joked.

Then changed his casual tone: "I personally like to maximize benefits through cooperation;

After all, it supports Android, and the number of applications for systems such as iPhoneOS is over 100,000, far from what I said can be compared with the three or five applications.

But I think these things are worth talking about, at least on one acre of land in China. "

Lei Zhe agreed with emotion: "Plant the phoenix tree to attract the phoenix."

"..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Nian said a few more words.

"In fact, the field of smartphone hardware is actually similar. There are hundreds of flowers in the world, and China is silent. Xiaomi can be more proactive."

Hearing the word ‘more’, Lei Zhe smiled bitterly: “You really can’t hide anything from President Fang. No wonder that President Guan’s ability to analyze your information is so highly respected.”

Fang Nian sighed: "In fact, everyone has a misunderstanding of me. I just see more things every day. It is very hard to make some money from the countryside."

Lei Zhe was insincerely perfunctory: "Yes, yes."

Fang Nian didn't care, and went on: "After all, the fourth-generation mobile communication standard has been brewing for a long time. Maybe the standard will be issued in the next two years."

"The entrance to the mobile Internet can only be smartphones..."

"..."

When hanging up the phone, Lei Zhe’s hearty laughter almost surrounded the entire study: "Fang always gives me one night."

He was almost completely moved by Fang Nian.

It may be because Fang Nian accidentally said: I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Or maybe the map of the future market layout that Fang Nian said was too dreamy and perfect, and Lei Zhe, who was born in a science and technology man, all yearned.

Or, Lei Zhe sees Xiaomi's broader future more realistically.

It is also possible that compared to these, Lei Zhe agrees with Fang Nian's words: cooperation, win-win, and the Chinese dream.

In short, Lei Zhe's original intention of founding Xiaomi was changed from beginning to end by Fang Nian.

Because Fang Nian said these words from the perspective of the future ten years later.

There are many stories about China and the world that are happening and not happening yet.

In fact, many things will not be decided until 2010 in the turbulent global mobile Internet market in the next decade.

For example, Apple will officially rename iPhoneOS to iOS in June and apply it to mobile devices such as iPad and iPod.

Microsoft officially released WP7.0 in October.

Last month, the Linux kernel developers removed the Android driver from the Linux kernel, and Android and the mainstream of Linux development diverged.

In May, Google will release Android 2.2, and in October, Google will announce that there are more than 100,000 Android applications.

Nokia is actively seeking cooperation, first preparing for N900, equipped with Maemo, but ultimately failed to go on sale;

Then I turned to MeeGo, and announced the abandonment of this system only more than a year later, but still launched the sad N9;

Then he embraced WP without hesitation, and finally the mobile phone business collapsed...

Etc., etc.

At this time node, no matter what company developed and launched the smartphone operating system, the application was not perfect and not friendly enough.

Not to mention the ecological circle in the strict sense.

In China, people who know smart phones are only a negligible part. When most people choose high-end phones, they only hesitate between Nokia and Motorola.

More people will buy a fake phone of a few hundred yuan.

When most people choose a mobile phone, the most concerned thing is really just: whether there is a mobile QQ.

…………

Many people did not sleep this night.

Which does not include Fang Nian.

He slept soundly.

Good rest habits were not affected.

But even so, Fang Nian, who was woken up by a good biological clock almost every day before six o'clock, was woken up early by the phone on Saturday morning on March 20th.

It's Lei Zhe's call.

Fang Nian opened the curtains while answering the phone, and it was just dark.

Unable to help but yawn, Fang Nian said solemnly: "Mr Lei has worked hard all night."

Lei Zhe apologized: "Excuse Fang to sleep, right?"

"Fortunately, just a few minutes." Fang Nian replied casually, "It's time to get up soon."

Then he took the initiative to bring up the matter: "Mr. Lei called me so early, so he should have made a decision."

Lei Zhe said frankly: "Yes, I discussed with a few partners all night last night, and finally unanimously decided, one step is in place."

"Develop the smartphone operating system directly."

"Preparation for the smartphone department."

Fang Nian said earnestly: "Congratulations, Mr. Lei."

"2010 will definitely have the most beautiful time."

Lei Zhe laughed haha: "Fang is always talented."

Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, Fang Nian's tone was a little lazy.

"Currently, China Kulian, which currently occupies 75% of the Chinese mobile phone market, is still embracing operators to sell mobile phones;

Apple hasn't even solved a signal problem, and you have to jailbreak to use Apple in China;

Nokia cooperates everywhere to make operating systems;

The world is full of flowers, and no one is alone.

Mr. Lei, think about it, is there a better era than now? "

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhe said with sincere emotion: "President Fang is really insightful."

He called Fang Nian so early because he wanted Fang Nian to give him more confidence.

Fang Nian drew a large enough cake for Lei Zhe.

"I take the liberty to ask, why is Fang always so optimistic about the smartphone market?"

Fang Nian thought for a while and replied: "It may be because humans will become more and more inseparable from mobile phones, so they are optimistic about it."

"According to the current development of smart phones, it should replace computers to complete more work in the near future, especially after the arrival of the 4G era."

Lei Zhe agreed: "It is said that 4G, which has a speed comparable to WiFi, can provide a better Internet experience for mobile phones, and may be a quiet alternative to computers."

"For smartphones, does Fang always have any advice for Xiaomi?"

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Yes, but not now;

Because I personally think that Xiaomi should first do a good job with user experience and learn from Symbian, maemo, MeeGo, BlackBerry and WP;

When the right time is right, cooperate with like-minded people or companies to achieve a win-win situation.

By the way, hide the smartphone department. "

When Lei Zhe heard this, he instantly understood: "Thank you, Mr. Fang."

"No thanks." Fang Nian said with a smile.

Finally, Lei Zhe said: "I have gained a lot from this visit to Shencheng. It is a pity that I cannot say goodbye to President Fang in person.

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Someday Lei will always come to Shencheng when he has time. I will definitely prepare Coke for you."

Lei Zhe smiled: "Wow, Fang always knows this."

"There is no way to operate on a small scale, I can only do my job well." Fang Nian said with a serious face, "So I can't touch the big things like changing the world."

Lei Zhe, who came out to start a business again after hearing the words "change the world", had financial freedom after the age of 40, with a big smile: "Haha, Mr. Fang is really humble."

"..."

Lei Zhe was referring to due diligence, and Fang Nian followed the conversation.

In fact, he investigated a ghost ~www.ltnovel.com~, but Fang Nian also gave Lei Zhe enough information.

For example, mobile Internet portals and outlets.

For example, at the end, on the one hand, Fang Nian told Lei Zhe that the user experience of the large ticket system was not good.

On the other hand, it also requires the most basic strength to express cooperation.

No one knows that the phone call Fang Nian took initiative to make to Lei Zhe was made by Lu Weiyu.

Fortunately, Lei Zhe is now admired by the other party.

In fact, it is nothing more than--

Fang Taigong fished, Lei Zhe took the bait.

that is it.
