Reborn multinational giant

Fang Zhe had already greeted Lin Xiaobin before he came. Therefore, Mr. Lin Xiaobin and Lei and others knew about Fang Zhe’s visit. They also knew that Fang Zhe came this time in the hope that Lin Xiaobin, the vice-president of Google Engineering Institute, could help He recommended several domestic talents who can do cloud computing.

Such high-end talents can no longer be handled by a headhunting company. Most of these people are gathered in the hands of big companies such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, Huawei, and bat. There are very few talents idle in the market. Fang Zhe wanted to recruit talents in this area, so he had to dig into the corners of big companies like them!

However, because Li Zhipeng was present, Fang Zhe couldn't speak directly. Mr. Lei and the others were also tired from discussing techniques. Fortunately, the four of them set up a chair and coffee table on the large balcony of Lin's family, got bored with a pot of tea, and casually chatted and relaxed!

Fang Zhe had previously agreed to Mr. Lei’s invitation and expressed his willingness to serve as the chief consultant of the future Xiaomi company. The so-called consultant is to help Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin and other corporate executives to come up with ideas and suggestions. There is no real power and responsibility.

Fang Zhe also symbolically accepted a 0.1% stake in Xiaomi. Although there are not many shares, this is a stepping stone. Waiting for the financing of Xiaomi in the future is when Fang Zhe and Huizhong will have a real influence and voice on Xiaomi!

Now, the preparations for the formation of the Xiaomi company have been in full swing. The entrepreneurial veterans also perform their duties. Lei and Lin Xiaobin are responsible for comprehensive control of the overall situation.

"I guess, it's been a few months since the iPhone entered China. If you drag it on, I'm afraid I can't wait for Apple or China Unicom!" While chatting, Mr. Lei turned the topic back to the phone. Industry, in order to found Xiaomi, he is also considered to be exhausted, all day long from morning to night worrying about the mobile phone and mobile phone industry.

Mr. Lei’s words were clearly meant for Fang Zhe. He and Lin Xiaobin were stuck together all day. It’s impossible not to have said this. Now when I bring it up again, it is obvious that he wants to hear the opinions of Fang Zhe, the chief consultant. .

Fang Zhe has always been paying close attention to the iPhone’s entry into China. In his previous life, the iPhone entered China in October this year. At the beginning, he cooperated with the operator Unicom to launch a contract machine to sell the iPhone, with the lowest starting price. The packages are all 5999 yuan, even so, many domestic mobile phone users are still eager for it.

The iPhone’s entry into China can be seen as a sign, a sign that China has officially entered the mobile Internet era. Because of its high price and hot sales scene, it has caused a lot of public opinion in the media and the Internet, and because of these public opinions, domestic Most ordinary people have begun to recognize smart phones, 3g, wifi, and apps that are known to later generations of women and children and are still very new terms.

Fang Zhe took the conversation and said: "This is actually a good thing for us!"

President Lei and Lin Xiaobin looked at each other, and they clearly saw their doubts in each other's eyes. Without waiting for them to ask questions, Fang Zhe continued to explain:

“Now most ordinary people in China don’t even know what a smart phone is. If the iphone can create a public opinion effect on the Internet after entering China, it will also help other mobile phone manufacturers and educate mobile phone users, but the iphone has a very big The weakness, that is, its price, which is too high!"

President Lei and Lin Xiaobin nodded, and Li Zhipeng next to him also nodded. Although he is a technical person, he is in this industry and knows these things well.

The three are smart people. They have understood what Fang Zhe meant. Although the iphone has entered China, it will not only do no harm to the upcoming Xiaomi company, but also has a lot of benefits.

Apple’s iPhone is positioned in the field of high-end mobile phones, and Xiaomi’s future focus is on low- and mid-end mobile phones synonymous with cost performance. There is no competition between the two.

On the contrary, the more popular the iPhone hype in the country, the more users eager to own a smart phone. In the face of the high price of the iPhone, many users will inevitably choose a cheaper mid-to-low-end smart phone, which will let the future Xiaomi took the first advantage!

Several people talked about the cooperation between the iPhone and China Unicom. After a while, Fang Zhe asked Li Zhipeng with great interest:

"Brother Peng, you said that you are in the current company, and you are all idle. Do you want to change jobs?"

They chatted just now, Li Zhipeng complained that the copycat mobile phone company he is currently working for is not enterprising, and has always stuck to the existing feature phone market. He has proposed many times to develop Android phones, but was rejected by the upper-level leaders on the grounds of too much investment. The company's investment in research and development is also pitiful, less than 1% of the total revenue, his research and development director, the more he is mixed, the less the status.

Li Zhipeng smiled at Fang Zhe. Earlier he had heard that the new company that Mr. Lei was about to establish had a very young chief consultant, and the consultant was also the boss of a large company.

This status and status is much better than his little technical research and development director. When he first saw Fang Zhe’s deity today, he took a few more careful glances, and he didn’t see the young man with more eyes. But this melon seed is really worthy of being a boss!

He said: "I really want to quit, but other mobile phone companies are all the same. Although there are hundreds of mobile phone companies in the south, there are really few motivated ones, or I eagerly pointed at Lei Zong and Lin. The dean will do a lot of work, but with my senior brother, I still don’t want to join in the fun. I don’t want to be a little follower behind senior brother’s ass!"

Fang Zhe understood what he meant. Obviously, Li Zhipeng nowadays is also considered a master in this industry, and he doesn't want to work under the hands of his seniors like he did in Motorola before.

It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Everyone understands this truth. Fang Zhe has the idea to recruit him. Although Fang Zhe does not intend to let Huizhong make his own mobile phone, he has other things about the layout of the mobile phone industry. The idea is to only do research and development, not products!

It sounds a bit exaggerated and unreliable, but in detail, it is very feasible. Many old mobile phone manufacturers in the past, such as Nokia and Ericsson, have declined in their mobile phone business and feel it is difficult to re-emerge. At that time, I sold my mobile phone business and focused on R&D and patent licensing. There are also many foreign patent rogue companies that specialize in collecting various patents. They rely on these patents to fight big companies such as Apple and Samsung. The lawsuit relies on compensation litigation or patent authorization for profit!

What Fang Zhe intends to do is similar to this kind of patent company. As a rebirth, Fang Zhe clearly remembers the various so-called black technologies and selling points of most mobile phones in the past.

What kind of product patents such as fingerprint recognition, dual cameras, full screen, intelligent anti-shake, fast charging, etc., from design to materials to craftsmanship, Fang Zhe can acquire these patents through various means such as acquisition or self-development. Get it into your own hands.

At that time, whether it is to use these patents for authorized sales or cooperate with several domestic mobile phone manufacturers to form a mobile phone patent alliance to enter the overseas market, etc., it will play a significant role.
