My Return to Life

Chapter 451 One step away?

The latest website: June 8, the second day of the college entrance examination, the weather was fine.

Fang Nian gets up early and goes to school.

This morning he has his last class of the semester.

After that, there are revisions, exams, finals, and holidays.

Whenever he thinks of winter and summer vacations, Fang Nian will suddenly feel happy. This is a vacation that only a student can have!

So Fang Nian listened so absent-mindedly in the last class.

He thought otherwise he would stay in school all the time.

Simple calculations, undergraduates only graduated in 2013, masters in 2016 for 3 years, and PhDs for up to 5 years...

Fang Nian's heart moved: 'Oh, it's 2021! '

This can be...

Don't be too beautiful!

"Don't get a doctorate from a foreign institution anymore. After all, a foreign doctorate can never graduate. For someone with poor learning ability like me, it's okay to have a tenure track?!"

"So, in the future, I will take a fixed summer vacation from July to September every year, and a fixed winter vacation from January to March? You have to pay!"

"Too wow!"

The more Fang Nian thought about it, the more delighted he felt.

For a lazy dog ​​like him, it was a blessing from heaven.

This is very effective.

However, the timing for Fang Nian to think about this was not right, it was daytime.

Before the get out of class was over, he was interrupted by the vibrating ringtone of the mobile phone.

Fang Nian almost wiped his saliva.

Taking a peek at the number displayed on the phone screen, it was still Lei Jun's this time.

Fang Nian didn't answer, and replied a text message after hanging up.

Ten minutes later,

After the class was over, Fang Nian packed up his things and left the West Building with his schoolbag in his arms.

The peace knot woven with red rope swayed under the influence of gravity.

Fang Nian called Lei Jun back with a concerned tone: "Mr. Lei, how are you resting?"

"Fortunately, I woke up early in the morning, refreshed." Lei Jun replied with a smile.

"I forgot that Mr. Fang is still a student. I'm really sorry."

Fang Nian smiled: "It's okay, it happens to be the last class of this semester."

Then he took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Is there always something for Lei?"

"It is true that there are some things that I want to have a brief chat with Mr. Fang," Lei Jun said.

Then he changed his tone: "In the morning, the cumulative number of users of the Nuwa system broke through to the first 100;

I have collected a lot of praise and feedback, and there are a lot of opinions, but none of them are too important, far less than the sharp point raised by the general manager above;

The main problem is that there is no application software, and the most important thing is that there is no QQ. "

After a short pause, Lei Jun said frankly: "These are not too important. I am planning to set up a smartphone manufacturing department."

"I raise my hands to support." Fang Nian said with a smile.

After a short pause, Fang Nian said again: "Actually, Mr. Lei can try the instant chat software I mentioned earlier;

iPhone4 supports videophone, and the hardware has a good foundation. Now is a good time. "

Lei Jun suddenly became enlightened, and said: "How could I forget such an important thing."

"Haha." Fang Nian laughed.

Then the topic changed, and he said bluntly: "In fact, Lei always wants to start Xiaomi's A round of financing, right?"

Lei Jun did not deny it, and said frankly: "Yes, Xiaomi needs more funds to develop faster."

"The frontier angel will definitely come." Fang Nian said firmly and forcefully.

"..."

Lei Jun hardly talked about iPhone4 in this phone call.

His purpose is simple, to exchange financing ideas with Fang Nian.

Fang Nian could easily hear what Lei Jun meant.

Lei Jun is a very qualified businessman, and he always pays attention to the things that need to be communicated.

Especially at present, Fang Nian and Frontier Angel own a total of 25% of the shares, making him the veritable second largest shareholder of Xiaomi.

And Fang Nian also remembers clearly that Xiaomi adjusted its shareholding structure on August 17, the day after MIUI was released.

Split the original 50,000 shares into 500 million shares.

And quickly started the A round of financing, and finally reached a financing transaction at the end of September, raising 10 million US dollars at a valuation of 50 million US dollars;

This is nothing, and what happened next shows Lei Jun's business methods.

When it was only a gimmick to make a mobile phone, Xiaomi successfully completed the B round of financing at the end of December 2010, raising US$27.5 million at a valuation of US$290 million.

To be honest, Fang Nian was actually bragging a little bit before.

Dangkang, which was called "greedy for fun" when financing, can't compare with Lei Jun's commercial operations on Xiaomi.

From its official establishment in April to the completion of the first round of financing on December 21, in the early eight months, according to the exchange rate of RMB to the US dollar at that time, Xiaomi’s actual valuation was 2 billion RMB.

You must know that even by the end of 2010, Xiaomi only has one MIUI deep customization UI with few users.

Today, Xiaomi has a completely independent operating system for smartphones that can be called an excellent one, and Fang Nian is behind it. The valuation...

Valuation actually depends on Fang Nian and Lei Jun's double spring.

Fangnian's psychological price is to start with 100 million US dollars, and sell 20% of the shares in exchange for Xiaomi's initial take-off capital.

…………

Fang Nian left the school after making phone calls in school.

After all, today is still the college entrance examination, and it is easy to encounter unstable signal on the road.

Before reaching Fuqing Building, the phone rang again.

This time it was Huang Xiujie who was moved by the wind.

"My opponent is always convinced."

After the call was connected, Huang Xiujie's first sentence was this.

Meizu is currently the only one in the field of domestic smartphones. As the boss of Meizu, Huang Xiujie has been called China's Jobs on some occasions.

Just like Huang Xiujie did not hesitate to express his tribute to Jobs.

He didn't hesitate to express his respect for the other party's leading innovation in the past year.

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, good morning, what can I do for you?"

"I thought that the fourth-generation iPhone, which Jobs couldn't resist promoting in advance, would completely cut through the times, but I really didn't expect it to be..."

Having said that, Huang Xiujie paused for a moment, and then said firmly.

"So ordinary!"

Fang Nian said unhurriedly: "When did Mr. Huang like to brag like Mr. Lei?

There is often a large gap between innovative ideas and actual manufacturing. "

Huang Xiujie laughed: "Boss Fang is too modest, I know what is science fiction and what is practical innovation."

"..."

After saying a few words again with a little excitement.

Huang Xiujie suddenly spoke seriously: "I plan to completely overthrow the previous m9 design and make an excellent domestic mobile phone that can be called smart."

"Boss Huang is so majestic!" Fang Nian was surprised for a moment, then said decisively.

Huang Xiujie added: "I just had a phone call with Mr. Lei to exchange ideas. I would like to ask Mr. Fang to set a time so that we can actually meet up."

"After the 17th, I need the 17th to finish the final exam." Fang Nian pushed open the door of the front office while setting the time.

Huang Xiujie was stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay..."

"..."

…………

There is no one in the frontier company office, and Gu Yu has gone out to get busy.

Fang Nian sat down at his desk, turned on the computer, and looked up information about the iPhone 4.

I once again learned about the excellence of this phone.

I also learned about the relevant release information, and began to accept reservations on the 15th of this month, and officially released it on the 24th.

The starting region does not include any regions in China.

The sales area in July is Hong Kong, China.

24 more regions will be added in August, for a total of 88 regions covered in September.

If there are no accidents, it will only cover mainland China in September, and there is a high probability that the operator's contract machine will be released first.

After browsing the information released at the press conference, Fang Nian swiped the webpage.

Saw a lot of related comments.

Not only people in the industry like Lei Jun and Huang Xiujie are concerned, but netizens are also very concerned.

"Holy shit, the mobile phone can actually be so good-looking. The price starts at $199, which is less than 1,400 yuan. I want it!"

"Wake up upstairs, don't forget that the price of the iPhone 3gs is only 99 US dollars, but when it is officially available in China, it costs 5,000 to 6,000!"

"iPhone4 can be so good-looking, I feel angry when I look at the Nokia in my hand!"

"..."

"I want it too, but I heard from some knowledgeable friends that even for the 16G version, the official release price should start at 5,000."

"This time I really have to cut my kidney to afford it!"

"If only my boyfriend could give me a white version!"

"..."

"Hey, I already asked someone to go to America to bring me one back!"

"Bringing it back is not about breaking out of prison!"

"What are you afraid of when you escape from prison? It doesn't matter if there are 91 assistants around!"

"..."

After browsing through the information, Fang Nian murmured, "Such a long period of idle time, 91 Wireless is going to fly!"

"And it seems that even if the iPhone 4 is released in China, it is still difficult to install the software..."

"Nuwa system really needs to speed up its development. The App Store already has 250,000 apps..."

…………

At around five o'clock that afternoon, Fang Nian received a call from Zou Xuan.

"elder brother!"

Zou Xuan's tone was very lively, "The college entrance examination went very well, especially in mathematics and Chinese, and I performed very well."

Hearing this, Fang Nian praised, "That's not bad."

"It just so happened that Apple released a new mobile phone this morning, but it won't be available in the United States until the 24th. It just happens to be a graduation gift for you."

Zou Xuan blinked her eyes and asked blankly, "Didn't you say you have to do well in the exam?"

"After the exam, the result has been determined, and you have worked hard, so it doesn't matter." Fang Nian smiled.

"..."

Said a few more gossip.

Before hanging up the phone, Fang Nian gave a few words of advice: "Don't play too late tonight, go to the Internet cafe all night and so on;

In the future, there will be plenty of time to gather with classmates. "

"Oh, I see, thank you brother!" Zou Xuan said cautiously.

... In the next few days.

iPhone4-related news rampant.

On Weibo platforms, forums, post bars and other places, countless netizens in China are discussing this mobile phone enthusiastically.

Large-screen mobile phones have gradually gained popularity.

Especially for the most active group of netizens.

When comparing all the mobile phones that can be selected horizontally, iPhone4 is so outstanding that it is quite desirable.

However, the Apple mobile phone system that blocks users has made everyone mention 91 Assistant countless times.

After two months of development, Assistant 91 has quietly changed a lot.

This makes ordinary netizens have more goodwill.

At this juncture.

A new rhetoric suddenly spread throughout the public cyberspace:

"Is the mobile Internet era led by smartphones only one step away from us? 』

I don't know who asked this question.

There is only a head, no tail.

Amidst everyone's chatter, the argument made it to the paper media and even the news channels of some secondary TV stations.

"I think there is only one iPhone4 away from us!"

"I think it's still a long way off. I've seen the live video of the press conference. During the FaceTime call, it's great!"

"The main reason is that the 3G network penetration rate in our country is not enough!"

"However, sooner or later, 3G networks will be fully popularized. By that time, there will only be a gap between the iPhone 4!"

"And I see that many places are more convenient than computers!"

"..."

"I still think it's very far away. Look at the Internet cafes on the road. Have you ever seen a mobile phone? You always talk about smart phones, how many are really smart?"

"It makes sense, what is the penetration rate?"

"..."

Asking such a question secretly, watching Fang Nian's face with a mysterious smile on the netizens' discussion...
