My Return to Life

Vol 2 Chapter 504: Reluctantly

"?!"

Fang Nian's eyebrows jumped straight.

The meeting has just begun, should it be so exciting?

It can be said that Fang Nian was not prepared for this before the meeting started.

The reason why he agreed to attend the meeting was to be a mascot, but he never thought about taking responsibility.

However, Fang Nian just opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, Lei Jun continued to speak.

"I know you may not believe it, but the manager bin who is responsible for the development of the'Nuwa' system also agrees that Fang Zong is the soul creator of'Nuwa'."

Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Bing said with a clear attitude: "Indeed."

"Although there is a total of 190,000 lines of code, there is not even a character contributed by Mr. Fang himself, but all the programmers involved, including me, think so."

"Of course, I am not denying the hard work of Xiaomi employees."

After Lin Bing's words fell, Lei Jun tacitly took over.

"Let's not hide it from everyone, in my heart, the ultimate goal of starting Xiaomi is to be a smartphone.

But at first I wanted to start with the software. In the process of preparing for Xiaomi, I, including bin, always thought that the amount of engineering for the self-developed operating system was too large and unrealistic, and I planned to make in-depth customization based on the open source Android system;

It was Mr. Fang who persuaded me and gave me an excellent direction for development. "

Having said this, Lei Jun paused briefly, glanced at Huang Xiujie, and said.

"Later, after the first draft version came out, Fang Zong didn't even look at it. He directly gave the development direction and design concept. Huang also knew about this."

At this time, Huang Xiujie had already reacted.

Nodded again and again: "What Lei said is the truth, I think so from the beginning."

"..."

Next, Lei Jun, Lin Bing, and Huang Xiujie talked about their views from different angles.

From an objective and fair perspective, Fang Nian expressed the necessity of assuming responsibility for the alliance.

There is mention of Fang Nian's amazing long-term vision.

It was mentioned that Fang Nian's macro view on smartphones.

There is a mention of Fang Niantuo's more long-term vision of the smart phone system.

It is mentioned that Fang Nian always emphasizes the user experience.

In addition to the "graffiti" Fang Nian gave in Zhuhai last time, Lei Jun and Lin Bing also emphatically mentioned the views Fang Nian made yesterday afternoon.

Except for some points that Lei Jun and Lin Bing seem to have a higher strategic level, they didn't mention it.

Even based on the blueprint of Siri, the idea of ​​adding a voice assistant to the system framework was also spoken...

Fang Nian simply shut his mouth and became a listener since he wanted to open his mouth and was robbed by Lei Jun for the first time.

Fang Nian hadn't seen such scenes before.

It is not directly depriving the right to speak.

If Fang Nian wants to talk, he can do it anytime.

Moreover, Fang Nian can see clearly that Lei Jun and Lin Bing are tacit understanding between Huang Xiujie and Lei Jun.

But the alliance is not the two of them, nor is it the matter of Xiaomi and Meizu.

The reason why Lei Jun and the others seem to be patient and take the trouble, are actually trying to convince Chen Mingyong and Shen Wei.

As for Fang Nian, it is temporarily out of their consideration.

The reason Fang Nian didn't interrupt and only acted as an audience was also thinking about the core contradiction of this matter.

It is inevitable to think of the issue of interest.

From the beginning of the meeting, the meeting room has never been quiet.

Even Lei Jun, they came to an end.

Weiwo's Shen Wei calmly spoke with confusion.

"Our smart phone plan has just been finalized, and it's still in the stage of moving forward by touching the rocks. I don't know the technology, so there may be some inappropriate doubts."

With that, Shen Wei pushed his glasses.

"Mr Lei and Mr. Huang both mentioned deep customization based on the open source Android system, so why take a more complicated path?"

"Sometimes in the eyes of consumers, domestic products represent backwardness and low-end."

"I don't deny that the original intention of the'Nuwa' alliance is very good."

Lei Jun answered this question: "Although Android can be deeply customized, it is difficult to modify the core of the system.

For security and other factors, Android updates and deeply customized versions must also be updated.

Under such circumstances, the control over the product development line will decrease. "

"Additionally, Fang always said something that I very much agree with."

"It's better to have a father and a mother than yourself."

After hearing Lei Jun's words, Shen Wei smiled lightly: "Look, the first question is not appropriate."

"The other thing I cannot understand is why Xiaomi is willing to give up leadership.

Although I know that Mr. Fang is really good and has a long-term vision, I have not heard of Mr. Fang being involved in the system software industry. "

After Shen Wei's words fell, Chen Mingyong spoke at the right time.

"From a strategic point of view, I basically agree with everyone's point of view. Fang always has a longer vision than the rumors."

"However, as Mr. Shen said, Mr. Fang does not seem to be involved in the system software industry, nor does he have the ability to develop programs."

"I also don't quite understand Xiaomi's initiative to give up leadership."

It is really about Fang Nian's contribution to the'Nuwa' system, and Lei Jun has already spoken very bluntly.

Both Shen Wei and Chen Mingyong do not understand technology, but the R&D managers of their two companies understand and admire it deeply.

So from a technical point of view, the two have nothing to say.

The core questions of the two are why Xiaomi voluntarily gave up, and Fang Nian did not intervene in the software industry.

On the first point, there is serious doubt.

Is it because Xiaomi also feels that the self-developed system is like a hot potato?

The second point is from a practical point of view. If Fang Nian is the speaker, how to define the new features of the system and other tasks?

Facing the gazes of Shen Wei and Chen Mingyong, Lei Jun was very calm.

"Xiaomi has already begun preparing for the mobile phone business, and the more it goes, the less likely it is to devote all of its energy to the in-depth development of the system.

For the better development of'Nuwa' and the common interests of the alliance, it is not too difficult to decide to give up the dominance. "

Lei Jun only answered the first point.

The second point was not mentioned.

Shen Wei and Chen Mingyong did not question them, but fell into brief contemplation.

Soon, Chen Mingyong took the lead to express his position: "I have no problem here."

"We are fine." Shen Wei followed closely.

So everyone looked at Fang Nian.

Fang Nian: "..."

No, I'm just a temporary audience. Your unification of opinions is too efficient, right? !

Why did you listen to it, and suddenly became an inescapable look?

This is not the development process I want!

This is not cute at all!

Although Fang Nian is not top-notch in the business field, he has his mind. Funny

The current situation is very obvious, and further discussion will undoubtedly involve interest issues.

And it is a very acute issue of interest.

Fang Nian knew that as long as he spoke, it was equivalent to picking up this sharp point.

Fang Nian felt that his head was black and shiny, as if a pot was covered.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart: "Why did this put me on fire? I didn't hesitate to end the trip and travel a long way to the capital. What are you doing to me?"

"Is it too much? Is it too much?!"

Slow to say, in fact, these thoughts flashed in Fang Nian's heart for an instant.

Facing everyone's sight, Fang Nian showed a smile and spoke calmly.

"Indeed, with my neutral status in the alliance, I am very suitable to be the person involved in this matter and independently take over the research and development tasks of the'Nuwa' smart phone system."

After a short pause, Fang Nian turned around: "But..."

"In business, not only is I not involved in the system software industry, I also don't know how to make a mobile phone. No matter how well'Nuwa' does it, it won't do me any good."

Having said that, Fang Nian looked at everyone and spread his hands.

"No matter if I use my resources, I set up an independent system review team;

Or the companies in the alliance dispatch development engineers to form review teams, and I need to pay extra funds that are unnecessary for me. "

Finally, Fang Nian emphasized: "And what is certain is that this amount of funds will not be too low."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, the conference room fell into a short silence.

Because Fang Nian threw out sharp points of interest.

The reason why it is led will become the core contradiction at the beginning of the alliance's development.

It is because of these sharp interests.

According to Lei Jun, if the system is in the hands of others, the control over the product development line will decrease.

The smartphone is not a simple thing.

Many kinds of hardware are involved.

Coordinating different hardware is not a simple matter.

The respective supply chain partners are not necessarily the same.

If it is led by a certain mobile phone manufacturer within the alliance and is not completely open source, there will be tendencies and trade-offs.

Under the same system framework, there will also be completely different developments in the use experience.

This will affect the user preference...

…………

After a good moment.

Chen Mingyong spoke first: "Why don't you tell us about the resources you can use."

With that, Chen Mingyong looked at Fang Nian.

Then Shen Wei also looked at Fang Nian in agreement.

Fang Nian shrugged and said in a casual tone: "In fact, it's nothing. Frontier invests a lot of money in purely academic research fields. It is easy to form an excellent review team."

"Oh?" Chen Mingyong raised his eyebrows.

Shen Wei also moved.

At this time, Lei Jun smiled and interjected: "This is also the reason why I decided to give up the dominance after repeated thinking."

"Everyone knows the frontier angels, but Fang always has not only frontier angels, but also other frontier companies;

In recent months, at least more than 300 million yuan in cash has been invested in domestic universities.

Representative among them are the Frontier Institute of Xijiao Jiaotong University, and various academic research projects of various universities.

In the high-level academic research circle, the frontier's reputation is not low. "

"..."

Chen Mingyong and Shen Wei suddenly looked at each other in a tacit understanding.

A few alpacas rushed past in my heart.

I thought it was high enough to see Fang Nian.

Only now I found out that the business they are doing is getting old and broad.

It's really not a little troublemaker.

They originally directly chose a plan proposed by Fang Nian, and Fang Nian set up an independent review team because the R&D capabilities of their own company were a little unavailable.

It's fine now, the heart is pierced through.

After a while, Huang Xiujie groaned and said, "Zong Fang makes sense, and he can't serve everyone free of charge."

"How to ensure Fang's commercial interests is not easy."

Lei Jun had already prepared: "I thought about this problem earlier."

"Everyone knows that various non-profit organizations rely on donations to maintain their operations, and associations rely on membership fees;

Specifically, our'Nuwa' alliance can maintain normal operations in the form of authorization. "

"After all, Microsoft has become the world's foremost technology company with Windows alone.

Although Android is open source, Google's application service framework requires licensing fees. "

"..."

Lei Jun is worthy of being a business tycoon, and he put it clearly in a few words.

He also took the sharpest conflicts of interest to himself.

Next, the standard of authorization fee was discussed.

It was quickly determined as:

An authorization fee of 5‰ of the selling price is charged to each mobile phone within the alliance that uses the'Nuwa' system.

If there are companies outside the alliance who want to use it, the authorization fee is 3%.

In addition, there are more detailed rules.

For example, the internal enterprises of the alliance pay a fixed amount of RMB 5 million to the review team for maintenance.

Finally, in the initial stage, each of the four companies invested 10 million yuan as initial start-up capital.

Lei Jun took a step back and handed over the intellectual property rights of the existing system to the review team for only 5 million yuan, and Xiaomi invested another 5 million yuan.

On the surface, Fang Nian simply picked up a huge bargain.

The reviewing team he was charged with almost got a hen laying golden eggs.

But everyone knows ~www.ltnovel.com~In the initial stage, Fang Nian has to continue to burn at least one hundred or two hundred million.

It can be perfected down to the commercial level.

At the same time, it has to bear the expense of maintaining the application service framework.

And if the'Nuwa' project fails, everything will be taken from the bamboo basket, and Fang Nian will bear the biggest risk.

However, if the project develops smoothly and the sales of mobile phones produced by manufacturers in the alliance explode, Fang Nian will be able to lie down and make money.

During the rule negotiation stage, Fang Nian basically did not speak.

After everyone discussed and looked at Fang Nian, Fang Nian sighed with a wry smile, and reluctantly agreed.

"The risks and benefits are very clear."

"It's rare for everyone to show their love, let's not say much, the frontier will definitely not let everyone down."
