My Return to Life

"?!"

Fang Nian's eyebrows twitched.

The meeting has just started, so it's going to be so exciting?

It can be said that before the meeting started, Fang Nian was completely unprepared for this.

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

However, as soon as Fang Nian opened his mouth, Lei Jun continued to speak before he could make a sound.

"I know you may not believe it, but Mr. Bin, who is in charge of developing the 'Nuwa' system, also agrees that Mr. Fang is the soul creator of 'Nuwa'."

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

"Although there is not even a single character contributed by Mr. Fang himself in the current 190,000 lines of code, all the participating programmers, including me, think so."

"Of course, I don't mean to deny the painstaking efforts of Xiaomi employees."

After Lin Bing finished speaking, Lei Jun tacitly took over the conversation.

“To tell you the truth, in my heart, the ultimate goal of founding Xiaomi is to make smartphones.

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

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

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

"After the first draft version came out, Mr. Fang didn't even read it, and directly gave the development direction and design concept. Mr. Huang also knew about this."

At this time, Huang Xiujie had already reacted.

Nodding again and again: "Mr. Lei is telling 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 point of view, it expresses the necessity for Fang Nian to be the talker of the alliance.

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

It is mentioned that Fang Nian has a macro view of smartphones.

It was mentioned that Fang Nian lost the long-term idea of ​​the smartphone system.

It is mentioned that Fang Nian has always emphasized the user experience.

In addition to the 'graffiti' given by Fang Nian in Zhuhai last time, Lei Jun and Lin Bing also highlighted the views Fang Nian expressed yesterday afternoon.

Except for some points of higher strategic level in Lei Jun and Lin Bing's view, they didn't mention it.

Even based on the blueprint of Siri, the idea of ​​adding a voice assistant to the system framework has also been expressed...

Since the first time he wanted to speak and was robbed by Lei Jun, Fang Nian simply kept his mouth shut and became a listener.

It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of scene before.

It is not directly deprived of the right to speak.

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

And Fang Nian could see clearly that there was a tacit understanding between Lei Jun and Lin Bing, and Huang Xiujie had a tacit understanding with Lei Jun.

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

The reason why Lei Jun and the others seem to be very patient and tireless is that they actually want to persuade Chen Mingyong and Shen Wei.

As for Fang Nian, it was out of their consideration for the time being.

And the reason why Fang Nian didn't interrupt, just being an audience, was also thinking about the core contradiction of this matter.

Inevitably, the question of interests will come to mind.

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

Even Lei Jun said that it came to an end.

Wei Wo's Shen Wei calmly spoke with confusion.

"Our smartphone plan has just been finalized, and we are still in the stage of feeling the stones forward. I don't understand technology, so I may have some inappropriate doubts."

Said, Shen Wei pushed his glasses.

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

"Sometimes in the eyes of consumers, domestic production represents 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 change the core of the system.

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

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

"In addition, Mr. Fang said something that I agree with very much."

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

After hearing Lei Jun finished speaking, Shen Wei smiled lightly and said, "Look, the first question is indeed not appropriate."

"Another point I can't understand is why Xiaomi is willing to voluntarily relinquish leadership.

Although I know that Mr. Fang is indeed very powerful and has a long-term vision, I have never heard of Mr. Fang getting 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-term vision than the rumors say."

"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 voluntary relinquishment of leadership."

In fact, regarding Fang Nian's contribution to the 'Nuwa' system, Lei Jun and the others have already said it very bluntly.

Neither Shen Wei nor Chen Mingyong understands technology, but the R\u0026D managers of their two companies do, and admire them deeply.

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

The core issues for both of them are why Xiaomi voluntarily gave up and Fang Nian did not get involved in the software industry.

On the first point, it is seriously skeptical.

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 work of merging new features of the system?

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

"Xiaomi has already started to prepare for the mobile phone business, and it will be impossible to devote all our energy to the in-depth development of the system in the future.

For the better development of 'Nvwa' and the common interests within the alliance, it is not too difficult to give up the leadership. "

Lei Jun only answered the first point.

No word on the second point.

Shen Wei and Chen Mingyong didn't ask any questions, but fell into a short thought.

After a while, Chen Mingyong was the first to express his opinion: "I have no problem here."

"We're fine too." Shen Wei followed closely behind.

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 and listen, and suddenly you became a look that you couldn't get rid of?

This is not the development process I want!

It's not cute at all!

Although Fang Nian is not top-notch in the business field, he has a brain. funny

The current situation is obvious, and further discussion will undoubtedly involve the issue of interests.

And it is a very acute interest issue.

Fang Nian knew that as long as he opened his mouth, it would be equivalent to picking up this sharp point.

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

I couldn't help but muttered in my heart: "Why did this set me on fire? I didn't hesitate to end my tour and travel thousands of miles to the capital. Are you treating me like this?"

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

It's slow to say, but actually these thoughts flashed through Fang Nian's mind in an instant.

Facing everyone's gaze, Fang Nian smiled and spoke calmly.

"Indeed, with my neutral status in the alliance, I am very suitable to be the speaker and independently take over the research and development task of the 'Nuwa' smartphone system."

After a short pause, Fang Nian changed the topic: "But..."

"In Shangyanshang, not only am I not involved in the system software industry, but I also don't know how to make mobile phones. No matter how well 'Nu Wa' does it, it will not do me any good."

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

"Whether I use my resources to set up an independent system review team;

Or whether the companies in the alliance send development engineers to form a review team, I need to pay extra funds that are unnecessary for me. "

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

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

Because Fang Nian threw out his sharp interests.

The reason why the leader 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.

A smartphone is not a simple thing.

Many kinds of hardware are involved.

Coordinating disparate hardware is not a simple matter.

The respective supply chain partners are not necessarily the same either.

If it is dominated by a certain mobile phone manufacturer within the alliance, in an incomplete open source state, there will inevitably be tendencies and trade-offs.

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

This will affect the user's choice preference...

…………

After a while.

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

With that said, 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, "Actually, it's nothing. Frontier has invested a lot of money in purely academic research-oriented fields, and it's easy to form an excellent editorial team."

"Oh?" Chen Mingyong raised his eyebrows.

Shen Wei was also moved.

At this time, Lei Jun interrupted with a smile: "This is also the reason why I decided to give up the initiative after thinking twice."

"Everyone knows frontier angels, but Mr. Fang not only has 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.

The representative ones are the Frontier Institute of Xi'an Jiaotong University, as well as various academic research projects of various universities.

In high-level academic research circles, Frontiers has a good reputation. "

"..."

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

There are more or less alpacas galloping past in my heart.

I thought it was enough to look up to Fang Nian.

It is only now that I realize that their business is very broad.

It's really not a small trouble for me.

They had directly chosen a plan proposed by Fang Nian, and Fang Nian would form an independent editorial team, because their company's research and development capabilities were a bit weak.

Well now, my heart is pierced.

After a while, Huang Xiujie pondered and said: "Mr. Fang is right. Mr. Fang can't serve everyone for free."

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

Lei Jun had been prepared for a long time: "I thought about this problem earlier."

"I think everyone knows that all kinds of non-profit organizations rely on donations to maintain their operations, and associations rely on membership fees;

Specific to our "Nvwa" alliance, we can use authorization to maintain normal operation. "

"After all, Microsoft has become the world's most advanced technology company with its Windows system alone.

Although Android is open source, Google's application service framework charges a licensing fee. "

"..."

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

He also took the sharpest conflict of interests onto himself.

Next, the standard of authorization fee is discussed.

It was quickly finalized as:

Charge an authorization fee of 5‰ of the selling price for each mobile phone using the 'Nuwa' system within the alliance.

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

Beyond that, there are more granular rules.

For example: companies within the alliance pay a fixed annual maintenance fee of 5 million RMB to the editorial team.

Finally, at the very beginning, each of the four companies invested 10 million RMB as the initial start-up capital.

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

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

The editorial team he controlled almost got a golden hen.

But everyone knows in their hearts that in the initial stage, Fang Nian will have to continue to burn at least 100 to 200 million yuan.

Only then can it be refined down to the commercial level.

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

And if the 'Nuwa' project fails, everything will be drained, and Fang Nian will bear the biggest risk.

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

During the rules negotiation stage, Fang Nian basically kept silent.

When everyone finished discussing and looked at Fang Nian, Fang Nian sighed with a wry smile, and reluctantly agreed.

"The risks and benefits are clear."

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