My Return to Life

The south in April has already begun preparations for summer.

Today is the last Sunday in April, and Zhuhai is a sunny day.

Sunlight spilled into the office of the chairman of Meizu Technology Building through floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the sofa in the reception area, Huang Xiujie, Lei Zhe, and Fang Nian were seated in three parties. Interestingly, the three of them had three drinks, Lei Zhe drank Coke, Huang Xiujie drank cold boiled water, and Fang Nian drank tea.

Lei Zhe raised his head and drank a coke, put down the can, looked at each other with Huang Xiujie, and said.

"Let me talk about it first."

"We have encountered some problems, and I hope to be able to speak freely in this office."

Then, Lei Zhe continued: "Mr. Huang might not know that if Mr. Fang hadn't invested in Xiaomi, the few long talks would have almost completely redefined my goal of starting a business. We should not be so candid."

"Oh?" Huang Xiujie raised her eyebrows, "It seems that I have to thank Mr. Fang."

"If there is no interference from Mr. Fang, I think that when Xiaomi comes out, it will be the time for us to break."

Fang Nian on the side put down his tea cup and smiled: "I probably understand. From my personal point of view, it is very fond of a win-win situation."

Lei Zhe smiled bitterly: "I never thought that when I started a business after 40, the first problem I encountered was not about funds and personnel, but how to face myself."

"Confucius is right, there must be my teacher in the threesome."

"The creation of Xiaomi really wanted to be a smart phone, but if you have been with Mr. Huang for many years, you will naturally benefit. If you don't explain it, more misunderstandings and conflicts will inevitably occur in the future.

"Zong Fang is right. Developing a career under a win-win framework will often get twice the result with half the effort."

Hearing this, Huang Xiujie waved his hands again and again: "President Lei is really too polite, and made a special trip from Beijing to Zhuhai."

"..."

As a rebirth person who has known the past of Chinese mobile phones, Fang Nian naturally knows what Lei Zhe and Huang Xiujie said.

In the beginning, Lei Zhe wanted to invest in Meizu, with a valuation of 1 billion and a 30% share.

But after some understanding, Lei Zhe hesitated. He didn't want to be Meizu's CEO, so he recommended Lin Bing to help, hoping that Huang Xiujie could give Lin Bing a 5% stake.

This is what has happened one after another last year.

What didn't happen was that Lei Zhe originally founded Xiaomi to prepare a deeply customized UI based on Android;

Lei Zhe learned from Huang Xiujie. After Xiaomi launched MIUI, Huang Xiujie immediately felt that he was deceived.

So there are posts made by Huang Xiujie in public cyberspace around the end of 2010.

And the confrontation between Meizu and Xiaomi for many years.

but.

This will never happen again.

Because Fang Taigong put down the hook, Wang Zhe Leizhe took the hook and resolutely gave up the route of customizing the UI for people, planning to build a wheel...

"..."

Fang Nian looked at Lei Zhe, and then at Huang Xiujie.

"This seems to have nothing to do with making me invest in Meizu. If Meizu wants to restart financing, I believe Mr. Lei has this ability to take over."

Huang Xiujie agrees with this point: "If it is only financing, I also believe in the strength of Lei."

"However, Mr. Lei hopes that I can give out 5% of Meizu's permanent shares to Mr. Fang, and then Mr. Lei hopes that Mr. Fang can join him to vote for Meizu."

After a short pause, Huang Xiujie emphasized: "If you follow some of the news that Mr. Lei told me, I think 5% is completely fine."

"Mr. Lei, you are trying to kill me. Sooner or later I will be swollen to the sky by your praise." Fang Nian said helplessly.

Although the ideas are valuable, Fang Nian has the confidence to hold this 5% with the help of the next ten years of experience, but the current situation is a bit too much.

Lei Zhe laughed: "President Fang, I gave you 5% of the shares at the time, but you gladly accepted it. Why, is Xiaomi worthless in Mr. Fang's eyes?"

Then I ridiculed myself: "That's right, for a company that has not yet been established, the overall valuation is pushed up by Mr. Fang."

Fang Nian looked at Lei Zhe with a calm face: "President Lei, I always think you call me all the way over, and the plot will not be so small."

"Maybe that's right." Lei Zhe didn't deny it unexpectedly.

As he said, his face became serious: "Mr. Huang, now I can tell you for sure that Xiaomi currently has only one job:

Develop a completely independent smartphone operating system.

Independent of all the smartphone operating systems currently popular on the market, it only serves mobile phones. If classified, it should be regarded as Linux-like, that is, the kernel code is all its own. "

Hearing this, Huang Xiujie's pupils shrank slightly, and said calmly, "Why turn around to make wheels."

"Now that there are enough smartphone operating systems, deep customization of the UI is also a route. Starting from scratch is a bit too difficult."

Lei Zhe laughed: "At first I thought so, but after Fang always told me something, I think now is probably the best time."

"At least in China, Mr. Huang, I think you should understand what I mean."

Hearing this, Huang Xiujie suddenly realized: "This is the reason why you came to Zhuhai and talked with me for more than two days, right?

At this level, we really need to help each other to have more possibilities. "

"Yes, this is also the reason why I want to invest in Meizu, because at present, only Meizu manufacturer in China is making real smart phones." Lei Zhe emphasized the word true.

Fang Nian was holding up his teacup and drinking tea. At this time, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lei, are you in trouble?"

"Mr Fang hit the nail on the head." Lei Zhe nodded, "If I have enough time, I may bite the bullet and burn money to do it, but the vigorous development of the 91 assistants and the new news from the other side of the ocean make me imminent. feel."

Fang Nian understood, and said: "It is rumored that Apple will hold the WWDC conference in June. According to past experience, Jobs should bring the fourth generation of Apple smartphones, and perhaps also revolutionize iPhoneOS again."

He knew in his heart that this year iPhoneOS will become a historical term, replacing iOS, and will continue to occupy market share in the future.

"In fact, it's not just Mr. Lei who has encountered difficulties, but Meizu is the same." Huang Xiujie sighed and interjected.

Long before Fang Nian, Huang Xiujie had vomited with Lei Zhe. This is why Lei Zhe tried his best to pull Fang Nian.

With that, Huang Xiujie looked at Fang Nian and asked, "I wonder if Fang has ever heard of m9?"

Fang Nian laughed: "Mr. Huang's phone of the king of ticket skipping? Will it not be out this year?"

"It should be more difficult." Huang Xiujie smiled bitterly, "m8 uses WinCE system. After the release of m8 last year, I publicly stated on the Internet that the next mobile phone will use the same software system as m8;

But last year's development was too fast, and even now, I have not actually made the final decision whether to adopt WinCE or Android. "

Having said that, Huang Xiujie looked at Lei Zhe: "But now, I seem to see another option that is more in line with my pursuit."

"There should be more than these problems." Fang Nian joked, "When I was surfing the Internet two days ago, I saw a post from Mr. Huang. For a while, you were not sure what hardware baseband should be used."

"Yes." Huang Xiujie sighed and nodded, "The domestic 3G development is very lagging, it is difficult."

Fang Nian laughed: "I agree with your last public choice, to make WCDMA standard, and to be compatible with GSM and EDGE at the same time. As for TD and CDMA2000, I can only say it is fate."

After a short pause, Fang Nian said: "I also talked to Mr. Lei about the network standard. The 4G era may come faster than expected. If you calculate it according to the time window of mobile phone replacement, you may not have to worry about how to choose. ."

"I also told Mr. Huang on this point, 3G is so long behind, 4G may closely follow the world." Lei Zhe interjected.

"..."

From the mobile phone operating system to m9.

The simple summary is: Xiaomi Meizu has encountered many difficulties, problems, difficulties and so on.

Especially for Meizu, although design and production is a process of constant trial and error, this process is costly.

In other words, Meizu can't afford to burn.

Meizu can't afford to burn, some of Lei Zhe's ideas are not easy to proceed.

So Lei Zhe wanted to invest in Meizu himself and let Meizu continue trial and error through financing.

But Lei Zhe believes that it will take a long time.

In short, the combination of these reasons is the reason Lei Zhe eagerly wants to call Fang Nian over.

Because in the past exchanges, and the fact that has happened now, Lei Zhe, as an insider, has seen Fang Nian's side that has proved his stare countless times.

"..."

Fang Nian did not express too much of his attitude.

Although there are many problems, there are more solutions.

Lei Zhe squeezed the empty can into the trash can, looked towards Fang Nian and Huang Xiujie, and said.

"In fact, the reason why I am so urgent is that I have an idea to develop domestic smartphones in the form of alliances."

As he said, Lei Zhe said in a serious tone: "Hardware and software do not exist completely independently, they should be in a perfect state."

"I agree with this." Huang Xiujie agreed. "I believe in the strength and ability of General Lei."

"Secondly, the topics Mr. Lei had talked to me in the past few days in Zhuhai made me suddenly understand something;

If you don't just stand from the perspective of the company, as Mr. Lei said, the world is blooming, and China seems to be forgotten. "

Lei Zhe hurriedly laughed and said, "I didn't say this sentence, it was Mr. Fang."

"..."

Fang Nian groaned slightly, saying: "From the very beginning when I talked to Mr. Lei about investment, I thought about the possibility of cooperating, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon;

In fact, I very much agree with the alliance, and I think that Xiaomi and Meizu are definitely not enough. "

"So, I am very willing to participate in the alliance. Changing the world. I can't have the power to act, but I have a sense of participation."

Hearing that, Huang Xiujie laughed: "It's hard to change the world."

"I believe Mr. Fang." Lei Zhe's point of view is completely opposite.

Fang Nian was happy: "Fortunately, there is President Huang. If there is only President Lei, sooner or later, my tail will be up to the sky."

Then Fang Nian said: "Actually, I'm serious. If you really want to engage in an alliance, you can only have Xiaomi and Meizu at the beginning, but then you will definitely have to win over more domestic mobile phone manufacturers;

For example, Youwei, although the mobile phone department of Youwei may not have reacted yet, its basic strength is very strong and can bring many benefits. "

"Actually, it's the same sentence, there is no phoenix if there is a plane tree."

"..."

In the end things came back to square one.

Talk about financing.

There is an old Chinese saying that ugly words come first.

In the market, shame can often be bound by contracts.

Huang Xiujie and Lei Zhe are not ordinary people, so they can naturally see the huge commercial benefits and commercial value that success may bring.

And the biggest problem facing them now is time.

The fastest way to solve this problem is to cooperate sincerely, that is, alliance; this must be bound by contract to avoid future conflicts of interest.

According to the actual situation, the best way is financing.

Not only Lei Zhe invested in Meizu, Meizu will also invest in Xiaomi.

As for Fang Nian.

In fact, it is an important link in the embryonic form of this alliance and an obvious strategic decision.

Finally ~www.ltnovel.com~ Fang Nian said with a smile: "In this way, Frontier Angel is currently in short supply of funds. I figured out a way to squeeze out 50 million yuan, accounting for 5%. As for the 5% that Huang always intends to give me, I will take a look. ."

Hearing this, Huang Xiujie continued: "In fact, I already rejected Mr. Lei's good proposal last year. This time I am afraid that 5% is not enough!"

Lei Zhe interrupted and said: "Sometimes Mr. Fang is too real, for fear of taking up too much benefit."

Seeing that Huang Xiujie and Lei Zhe were both like this, Fang Nian shrugged, "Okay, then I accept it."

"It could also be that I didn't know the prophet. When I was still not getting seasick last night, I drew something. I wanted to put it out at the right time to put it on the surface..."

After speaking, Fang Nian looked at Huang Xiujie: "Before I say this, I would take the liberty to read the industrial design draft of m9."
