My Return to Life

"Mr. Fang is good, Mr. Lu is early."

Fang Nian walked into the front office, and Wen Ye's greeting sounded at the right time.

Then you will see Wen Ye's smiling eyes with a hint of evil spirit.

Because of the change of status, the seductiveness of Wen Ye's eyebrows has long faded, and now perhaps it should be described as soft and charming.

Fang Nian, who is best at reading and writing, has a fairly rich vocabulary and quickly found new vocabulary.

After Fang Nian sat down, Gu Yu briefly reported the important work as usual.

"The new acting CEO of Frontier Academic and Frontier Entrepreneurship arrived at the post today, Mr. Guan personally sent him over and inspected the work."

"The new acting CEO of Frontier Innovation will arrive tomorrow."

"..."

After Fang Nian finished listening, he thought for a while, and said whimsically, "Can we talk about the preliminary work of the Frontier Academy in Beijing first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Nian himself denied it.

In comparison, the preliminary work of these frontier institutes is not very complicated.

Because apart from the frontier institute of Harbin Institute of Technology, the other four frontier institutes in Luzhou, Beijing, Shencheng, and Yangcheng all need to build a dedicated research institute.

As a result, the initial investment of Harbin Institute of Technology Frontier Academy has changed from 100 million to 150 million, which means that within a period of time, Frontier will not make additional investment.

And here's where it gets complicated...

It needs a person who is strong enough at the front to come forward.

For example, Guan Qiuhe.

Especially in the capital city, after all, it is different, and there are many key colleges and universities.

then……

The implementation of the Beijing Frontier Institute can only be carried out according to the original plan.

Next Monday, Guan Qiuhe and Lu Weiyu will bring Gu Yu, Wu Fucheng, and cutting-edge innovation executives there.

Although Dang Kang seemed to be in a bit of a hurry because of the recent big recruitment.

Even because of this job fair, Fang Nianxia decided to clear up potential internal problems overnight with lightning speed.

However, the overall process is under control.

Including how many new employees who pass the interview should enter the job every day of the week.

Include how long the orientation program for new employees lasts.

Include a competency demonstration assessment plan for executives.

"..."

Strictly speaking, the most important issue at the frontier is the personnel issue.

So Gu Yu's report didn't last long.

In the end, Wen Ye mentioned: "Meizu is still sold out within 10 minutes today."

"Don't pay too much attention to the news of Meizu in the near future." Fang Nian said casually.

"..."

The fact that Meizu M9 was sold out was only four days old, but netizens are used to it and are no longer surprised.

Coupled with the big news about Nuwa Lab, the focus of netizens' attention has completely shifted away.

Fang Nian didn't care much.

He knows the inside story better than most.

It's not that Meizu doesn't want to sell it, it's that it can't produce it, and its production capacity cannot be increased for a period of time.

Huang Xiujie himself was in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he wants to get better sales, after all, the profit is there.

On the other hand, he can't pile up all the inventory and cause a complete out of stock.

In the field of marketing, Huang Xiujie found that he was not good at it.

In fact, Fang Nian can think of a solution.

In this case, Meizu must make certain trade-offs, and there is no best-of-both-worlds solution.

There are also several choices.

Sacrifice part of the benefits, send an urgent order to the foundry, or find a new foundry of the same level...

In a way similar to hunger marketing, first announce that the inventory is emptied, sell on a weekly basis, and at the same time build momentum to keep the heat...

Cooperate with Ali or Jingdong, launch online sales, start online pre-sale mode...

But no matter how you choose, Meizu needs to take risks and make an estimate of the order volume that is higher than the market assessment.

This was precisely what Huang Xiujie hesitated the most.

He never had enough confidence in the market.

In a sense, Huang Xiujie's layout is too small.

Although Fang Nian likes to have a lot of preparation,

But in actual operation, he will choose more flexibly, and even make decisions that seem particularly radical and risky.

The operating philosophy here comes from two old sayings:

1. More preparation equals no preparation, and more choices equals no choice.

2. Cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness.

Huang Xiujie is the latter, clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

Too smart, too careful calculation, just want to minimize the risk.

This is also the reason why no one, including the members of the Nuwa Alliance, gave Huang Xiujie any advice at the reception yesterday afternoon.

Many people have already seen through this matter.

Sometimes opportunities missed are never to be found again.

especially……

After version 1, the Nuwa system has been updated one after another, creating its own "big trend";

Meizu chose a very good point in time, allowing M9 to occupy the title of the first mobile phone equipped with Nuwa system.

This itself is a one-time opportunity.

Meizu has monopolized it, and the progress of other manufacturers cannot keep up, so there is nothing to say.

But after monopolizing it, he coyly built a stock of 100,000, and signed a contract with the foundry for a daily production capacity of 3,000...

Fang Nian actually understood Huang Xiujie's thoughts.

It is nothing more than that if the Nuwa system is not stable for commercialization, it will immediately choose Android.

This is human nature, leaving a way out in everything.

But after seeing M9, Fang Nian knew that Huang Xiujie left too many options for Meizu.

From Fang Nian's point of view, he actually hopes that Huang Xiujie can make a decision and make a change now.

otherwise……

He can wait for Meizu to gradually figure it out, and other manufacturers may not wait.

At that time, Meizu will be at a loss.

All current advantages will become disadvantages.

Fang Nian didn't think that other people would miss the opportunity.

especially……

Xiaomi with Lei Jun on the side seems to be watching from the sidelines. Lei Jun is not a modest gentleman in the business field.

Fang Nian experienced it himself.

He did not forget how Nuwa's laboratory came to be.

In the end, Fang Nian decided to reluctantly take over this mess, just to get what he needs.

This is why Fang Nian's first request at yesterday's alliance meeting was autonomy.

All in all, on the battlefield of business, there is nothing good about the eldest brother, let alone the second brother.

Lei Jun is no exception, neither is Fang Nian, nor is Guan Qiuhe. With more contact, Lu Weiyu will understand this truth.

It's just that there is still a little more bond between Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe.

This is impossible with Lei Jun.

Fang Nian and Lei Jun will always be half friends.

"..."

Fang Nian flipped through the mailbox to see some important matters that would be conveyed by email, and had a better understanding of Dangkang and Frontier.

He said: "Calculating the time, Brother Ang just joined Frontier for two weeks, how do you feel?"

Wu Fucheng raised his head and answered honestly: "I can gradually adapt to such a busy rhythm."

Fang Nian said without looking up: "It looks okay, I hope you can put more pressure on yourself."

Said, Fang Nian looked up at Wu Fucheng, with a smile on his face: "Or I will personally hit your self-confidence and put pressure on you, trust me, you don't want to experience this, if you don't believe me, you can ask Wen Mi."

Hearing this, Wu Fucheng subconsciously looked at Wen Ye.

Wen Ye frowned obviously, as if caught in some unforgettable memory, and then showed a playful expression.

Wu Fucheng immediately gave up.

Speaking of which, when Wen Ye had just been recruited to be the secretary, Fang Nian was the boss again, and the methods were rough.

Unlike now, you can handle it with ease.

And the state wasn't particularly good during that time.

From Lu Weiyu's inseparable distance, her inferiority complex looming, to her acceptance that she is a college student, etc...

All are affecting Fang Nian's mentality.

Including the final decision to choose the way to integrate into the university is also a relatively alternative way to create a community framework.

In fact, during that time, Fang Nian truly felt that he was also a living person after rebirth.

There will be a perverse side.

There will also be a violent side...

Of course, Fang Nian knew how to accept emotions.

"..."

Fang Nian picked up his teacup and drank tea after reading through the emails and learning about Dangkang's latest news.

The big news of Dangkang game is related to the game.

The game studio under the research and development center of the headquarters has produced some games, and their performance on the platform has been getting better and better recently, and they are likely to become popular games.

One of the studios has a new game coming out.

that's it.

For the other year, it is more and more worry-free.

Just thinking about this, Lu Weiyu's voice suddenly sounded: "Oh, it is said on the Internet that there are smartphones equipped with Nuwa system for sale in Huaqiangbei."

"..."

It seems that Fang Nian is a bit crowed today...

…………

Huaqiangbei is very strong in the electronics industry.

For example, the most popular rumors:

The other side of the ocean has released a new generation of Apple products, and within a few days Huaqiangbei will be able to buy equivalent copycat products.

Some of them are relatively high-end, and there are also high-quality imitations that can be confused with real ones.

All kinds of players have their own way of survival in Huaqiangbei.

Recently, Huaqiangbei has taken on new tricks.

Since November 1, the popularity of the Nuwa system has remained high.

Related discussions can be seen at any time on forums, post bars, Weibo and other platforms.

Throughout October, Nuwa Lab released four development versions one after another.

The stable version of Nuwa system 1.1 and 1.2 has different degrees of feature upgrades, each time improving the user experience.

The accumulation of a total of six versions reached its peak on November 8th.

Nuwa system 1.3 is officially commercialized with Meizu M9.

M9 sold out in ten minutes on the first day.

The next day was the same, scalpers happened.

On the third day, the movement of the scalpers forced Meizu officials to continuously issue clarifications.

The players in Huaqiangbei have a very keen sense of smell, and they feel the great benefits in it.

In addition to a series of factors such as Meizu's kerosene blessing, they discovered an indisputable fact.

Nuwa system is the core competitiveness.

then……

On the afternoon of November 8th, the non-brand candy bar large-screen mobile phones with the standard Nuwa system 1.3 officially landed in various small booths in Huaqiang North.

In such a vast land of China, Huaqiangbei is not even a corner. It is not uncommon for a small shop to sell a mobile phone.

Lu Weiyu was able to meet while surfing the Internet, obviously something happened and caused a discussion.

Later, the Nuwa Alliance announced the same news to the Nuwa Lab.

The cause of the incident soon became clear.

When Fang Nian saw the sharp confrontational discussion about Nuwa Lab not updating the stable version in the morning, his guess at the time was similar...

At 9 o'clock last night, the Nuwa Lab released a new announcement in the Nuwa Forum.

It is stated that the external update of the stable version will be stopped in the future, and only the development version will be updated.

The previous stable version no longer sends update notifications.

This does not affect the business hobbies of enthusiasts.

Because enthusiasts like to develop beta versions, the corresponding permissions are more open, for example, there is a developer mode to provide debugging interfaces.

But it has affected the interests of some players in Huaqiangbei.

Because the smartphones they saved can no longer have a new stable version, and they can't update the new stable version, a particularly big selling point is gone.

Not only that, some customers who bought counterfeit mobile phones are also dissatisfied, and some of them will return the products directly.

If it's an ordinary mobile phone before, it doesn't really have the concept of an operating system, let alone a system upgrade.

But it's very different now.

As a result, contradictions and conflicts broke out.

In the end, the group of players in Huaqiangbei came up with a compromise idea.

Mobilize everyone to oppose the announcement of Nuwa Lab on the Internet, hoping to use public opinion to overthrow the decision of Nuwa Lab.

certainly……

These players know that there is little hope.

But they just need to divert their attention, reduce their stress and be done.

There are those who are not easy to be fooled, and there are those who are easy to be fooled. Business can still go on, and money can still be earned.

The assembly price is three to five hundred yuan, originally it was only sold for 700 yuan, but now it is sold for 1500 yuan with the Nuwa system, and it is easy to be out of stock, which is so cool...

The Nuwa alliance is not bad, at least it quickly figured out the matter.

After reading the report on what happened, Fang Nian was not upset, and looked at Lu Weiyu with a smile on the side: "Boss Lu is fully responsible."

"I..." Lu Weiyu blinked.

People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

"This is really not my fault. In order to promote the Nuwa system, although the external version has certain installation restrictions, it does not affect the batch flashing. It is impossible to stop it. It is nothing more than hiring someone to flash."

At this point in the explanation, Lu Weiyu continued with a calm expression, "So, there must be similar incidents. It's just that Huaqiangbei is big enough."

Then Hua looked at Fang Nian with a look of admiration, and praised: "That's why Mr. Fang has really sharp eyesight. He has already thought up a countermeasure and quickly finalized the plan."

Fang Nian glanced at Lu Weiyu: "This is a bit fake, don't do this with me, you are fully responsible anyway."

Seeing this, Lu Weiyu fell into deep thought.

Thinking about it, his eyes rolled, and he said carefully: "Frontier Innovation has established a legal department, and we can also coordinate barristers from universities, but..."

"Is there something that can be exploited to turn a bad thing into a good thing?"

Fang Nian remained silent.

Lu Weiyu became more and more confident: "The Huaqiangbei incident must be made into a model to show the attitude of Nuwa Lab, that's for sure!"

"But the Nuwa Alliance clearly set the rules at the beginning, and also authorized outside the alliance. The authorization fee is 3% of the price of the mobile phone. Can this small lawsuit be turned into a big business?"

Speaking of this, Lu Weiyu counted the benefits brought by the treatment plan with her fingers upright: "In this way, one can subsidize the research and development expenses of the laboratory to a certain extent;

2. Can formulate rules to solve such things once and for all;

Three can occupy more operating system market share. "

After listening to Lu Wei's words, Fang Nian said seriously: "Boss Lu has grown up."

Before Lu Weiyu could show a smile, Fang Nian said again: "But you can't be so naive in the mall."

Before everyone asked questions, Fang Nian explained the reason: "But yes, there are more difficulties to overcome."

"First of all, Google's Android is completely free in China, especially for players in Huaqiangbei;

They don't need any form of patent fees, including the related patents of companies such as Microsoft used by Linux, and the domestic Android does not have Google's GMS. The cost of these two pieces starts at about US$50 per unit in the official quotation. "

"Of course there are cheaper ways, such as carrying the Google Family Bucket, etc., so I won't say more."

Speaking of this, Fang Nian paused for a while, turned a corner, and said in a calm tone: "So now you can understand why the first request I made after the establishment of Nuwa Lab was complete independent patenting?

Some patents have not been bypassed until now, and they still have to pay patent licensing fees to other manufacturers.

And you also know the essence of why Nuwa Lab burns so much money? "

Lu Weiyu nodded and added the answer: "It's not that it's too difficult to optimize some of the functional ideas you proposed, but it's difficult to get around patents."

Fang Nian brought back the topic: "Continue to talk about the difficult points;

If Nüwa Lab charges licensing fees to these miscellaneous companies, they can return to Android;

Also, Nuwa Lab needs to bear the brand reputation risk brought by authorization. "

As he said that, Fang Nian smiled slightly: "Mr. Lu, overcoming these two major problems can turn this small lawsuit into a big business."

Lu Weiyu looked thoughtful and said hesitantly, "This..."

Seeing this, Fang Nian said in a harmonious voice: "Let's do it, it doesn't matter if you fail, at least you can know the current capability level of the cutting-edge innovation administrative department."

Facing Fang Nian's encouraging eyes, Lu Weiyu nodded: "Okay!"

This incident is difficult to solve quickly, and Lu Weiyu has no plans to take action in person, and is going to hand it over to the new CEO of cutting-edge innovation...
