My Return to Life

"What do you think about the Frontier Research Center?"

Looking across the people sitting in the office, Fang Nian cut to the chase.

After answering Yang Yuliang's call in the morning, Fang Nian simply notified the front office of the result.

Including some additional proposals from Yangpu District Government.

Naturally, it also includes the policy of two exemptions and three halfs.

Lu Weiyu took the lead and asked calmly, "I want to confirm once again, Mr. Fang, are you really deciding to completely independent the research center and choose another location for the headquarters industrial park?"

"Actually, it's not a very important decision. After all, Bai Ze and Zhu Yan are independent." Fang Nian said calmly.

Whether it is regret or the art of compromise.

For Fang Nian, all this has become a thing of the past.

He has chosen to accept it calmly and peacefully.

After listening to Fang Nian, Guan Qiuhe took the opportunity to take over the topic: "The Yangpu district government's proposal is very attractive. The cutting-edge research center will be implemented in the form of a company, and most of the cutting-edge non-investment business revenue will be basically tax-free."

“Nor does it affect leadership at the forefront of innovation.”

Lu Weiyu agreed: "In fact, at the current stage of development, cutting-edge innovation is more like a functional department, providing all-round business support for each laboratory."

"..."

Wen Ye, Gu Yu, and Wu Fucheng made no other comments.

After all, the front office does not involve so many power disputes.

This is why there is an independent front office.

On the contrary, including frontier companies, there is more or less power competition.

Then there is the pros and cons of the Nuwa Lab and the Shengyu Lab that is already in planning, including the completely independent operation of the Nuwa Secret Lab.

Considering the long-term development, self-built office building is the best solution once and for all.

and……

It can also have more advantages in the form of public opinion and external image.

After it was confirmed, Fang Nian looked at Liu Xi and arranged, "Liu Xi, make a separate budget plan for the frontier research center, and submit it after the festival."

"Okay." Liu Xi agreed.

After a short pause, Fang Nian smiled and said, "The next thing we will discuss is basically budgetary matters."

"Have you arranged to pay 100 million yuan to Shanghai Frontier Academy?"

Liu Xin hummed: "The transfer was arranged before three o'clock."

"..."

Before Fang Nian could speak, Liu Xi continued.

"Currently, the company has a total fund of 800 million yuan available in its public accounts. According to the previous plan, this month, 100 million yuan will be invested in the preparation of the Taotie Materials Laboratory in Chang'an;

In order to promote the progress of frontier institutes in various places, according to the previous plan, I have completed the proposed budget:

The Frontier Institute of the University of Science and Technology of China plans to invest 150 million yuan in April, the Beijing Frontier Institute plans to invest 100 million yuan, Harbin Institute of Technology and Yangcheng Frontier Institute plan to invest a total of 50 million yuan..."

"..."

Finally, Liu Xi made a summary: "Although there are some operating funds left in the company accounts of each subsidiary,

Counting the budget of the Frontier Research Center, there should be about 250 million available funds in the total account...

However, according to the company's financial risk management and control measures and with reference to the corresponding model calculations, based on the current situation, Frontier will fall into a moderate financial crisis in mid-June. "

"According to the existing system and operating status, and according to the data model, Frontier can only alleviate its financial situation by transferring some of the shares held by Frontier Angels."

"..."

After listening to Liu Xi finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.

From the establishment of Frontier to the present, although Frontier’s paper assets have changed from zero to tens of billions, it has actually been in financial crisis.

This is because Fang Nian's plan for the frontier is a bit huge, and all of it is invested in basic science.

It is a complete asset-heavy, investment-heavy, and slow-return enterprise.

And it is an enterprise with an imperfect business model.

As far as the current situation is concerned, except for Frontier Angel, which is operating normally, the other three companies are in an "abnormal" operating state.

Taking cutting-edge academics as an example, a large amount of cash has been invested, covering almost all universities in China, and supporting a large number of academic research projects.

This is the most uncontrollable part of the effect.

After nearly a year of incubation, only 37 projects have been completed so far.

Referring to the market analysis, the most valuable ones are some technical patents based on the time-division duplex technology standard under the 3GPP LTE framework.

A clearer expression is: LTE-TDD.

At present, domestic research on this technical standard includes Juchang, Datang Telecom, Bell, ZTE, China Mobile, and low-key cutting-edge academics.

Although the research is done by some university professors, it has no direct relationship with cutting-edge academics.

However, frontier academics have 51% of patent ownership rights and 35% of patent licensing.

Except for the first project agreement signed with Cheng Qian's tutor research group, all other academic investment projects were signed in this way.

Cheng Qian's share is purely three to seven.

And 51% of the patent ownership authority is mainly for some additional terms of service.

The most important one is: when necessary, frontier academics have the right to refuse the R\u0026D team to authorize patents on their own.

That's why there is an extra 1%.

Therefore, it can basically be said that it belongs to cutting-edge academic research.

Of course, there are some additional terms.

Take the 37 projects that have completed all research so far as an example, all of which have received carte blanche for cutting-edge academic research.

The sense of existence of cutting-edge entrepreneurship is very low.

It’s not that it’s not doing anything, but it’s almost completely integrating the resources of frontier societies and affiliated project funds.

Basically a state of pure expenditure.

Of course, because of the joint establishment of a private equity fund with Fudan Science and Technology Park, there will be some investment benefits in the future.

Cutting edge innovation...

In fact, under the management of Lu Weiyu, cutting-edge innovation is really the least worrying company, orderly.

However, the spread of the stall is too large, and the investment is far greater than the income.

Take Nuwa Lab, which has already generated operating income, as an example.

Not counting last year's licensing fee, the licensing fee collected so far this year alone is close to 100 million.

It looks impressive.

But the payout is horrific.

Counting the system data center alone is a pure investment of hundreds of millions.

There are also various new features invested, which is simply a slow knife stew. At first glance, it is nothing, but after careful calculation, the heart will break.

But don't mention Bai Ze.

Bai Ze is an existence that burns money without blinking an eye. Since its establishment, it has burned 4.7 billion yuan.

Anyway, it’s not a waste of time, and the actual tape-out is already planned...

While everyone was contemplating, Fang Nian calmly said, "With such a big frontier, unless the six major laboratories are operating normally and the products start to iterate, there will always be financial crises."

"There is no need to worry about financial issues. The rush at the capital level in March was not for nothing."

"..."

After Fang Nian made a final decision, Guan Qiuhe said helplessly: "Well, anyway, you are the only one who can handle the establishment of such a large stall and the source of funds for such a large stall."

"..."

Guan Qiuhe is telling the truth.

But it made everyone laugh.

After that, we briefly discussed the Qingming holiday affairs, including the implementation of various affairs.

A few extra things were mentioned at the end.

For example, Fang Nian has never had time to pay attention to the classic closed beta of "Dota Rebirth".

At the end of March, the first round of prize-winning classic closed beta ended, and a lucky team got a bonus of 5 million.

'Dota Reborn' is a hit.

There was a trend of surpassing League of Legends at one time.

In this tit-for-tat competition, Dangkang Game has vaguely gained the upper hand.

Secondly, porridge is also mentioned.

Porridge has performed very well in frontier companies.

Very motivated and submitted several meaningful development proposals.

It is about frontier universities, frontier internship departments, and frontier clubs.

It can be regarded as scratching the itch at the front.

Wu Fucheng received a lot of inspiration.

additional……

Angkor finally began to show his excellent abilities that may be hidden in his bones.

A planning plan for talent coordination, resource integration, and regional linkage of 365 frontier associations across the country is already being drafted.

The orderliness of the twenty or so cutting-edge clubs in Shencheng, and the coordination on the ground in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui all provided him with valuable experience and insights.

At the same time, Wu Fucheng also freed up his hands to integrate the related affairs of the frontier university.

After all, frontier universities have references, which is easier for him.

In the end, everyone including Guan Qiuhe and Lu Weiyu couldn't help giving Wu Fucheng a burst of applause.

In the end, Fang Nian tapped his fingers on the table and lazily said: "As for the candidate plan for the front office, you should also take it to heart."

"Could it be that you want to exhaust me sooner or later?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere inside and outside the office was full of joy.

…………

…………

Five o'clock in the evening on April Fool's Day in the West.

Qingchat pushed the version update.

In terms of page style, there are a certain degree of new design elements.

It is different from the previous version, and it does not go towards the WeChat style that people in later generations have long been accustomed to.

It is similar to the Michat style of later generations.

The bottom toolbar is divided into three.

Followed by Messages, Find, and More.

The Contacts section is integrated into the top toolbar of the message page as a simple icon.

Look for people who share, scan, shake, and nearby people are listed in it.

Sharing is the form of circle of friends.

For more functional modules, there are only settings for the time being.

All in all, Fang Nian's proposal was not adopted according to the script, but was discussed in a broader sense.

In the era when mobile phone QQ is the most popular and mainstream instant messaging software.

Be it WeChat or Michat, neither of their respective styles has formed an absolute user habit.

The update of Mi Chat has increased the difference between the two.

In terms of style and language, the minimalist white style of Michat has captured the hearts of more users.

More prominent the core positioning of Michat: social networking.

Even the contact module is specially integrated in a small icon instead of being listed separately, which is clear enough for users to completely locate in the social attributes.

The features of this version have not changed much.

That is to say, there is one more 'share', and the emoticon center hidden in the chat options.

However, within an hour after the release, it was listed as a hot news on major portal websites.

Including the top search rankings.

sparked a very lively discussion.

"Is this a joke for us on April Fool's Day? Qingchao suddenly changed his appearance, it's so refreshing!"

"I can't tell what's good about it, but I suddenly feel that only a light chat can make a serious chat."

"..."

"It's my turn to show off this time! I am the first user on the whole network to use the light chat sharing function, and I sent the first shared content!"

"I thought it was a different kind of QQ zone, but when I entered it, I found out that it was an upgraded version of Talking Talk, but it feels more comfortable to use than Talking Talking, and you can take pictures and add pictures."

"Oh, I found a great feature. If you are not a mutual friend, you can't see the operation of the other party in the sharing."

"..."

"You guys are really full, really! Let me give you statistics. The new version has been online for an hour. What kinds of news are there in my sharing:

1. Surprise for April Fool's Day? (12 items)

2. Happy April Fool's Day! (31 items)

3. I'll give it a try. (108 items)

4. Make an advertisement... (7 items)

What's the matter, you guys want to spend a new year in my sharing? "

"..."

even……

Fang Nian, who cooks in person, felt the heated discussion on the Internet.

No matter from which aspect, this small feature update is comparable to the sensation that Qingchat suddenly announced that it can make voice calls at the Mi 1 conference.

The more you complain about it on the Internet, it means that this thing is really popular.

so……

Inevitably, Fang Nian received a call from the excited boss Lei Jun while cooking.

"President Fang, great news."

"The number of light chat users has just exceeded 50 million, and it has increased by 10 million in an hour!"

"..."

Lei Jun's excitement was beyond words, he said a lot excitedly without waiting for Fang Nian to speak.

I am very moved.

Fang Nian was shaking the spoon while humming in agreement.

He was really not excited at all.

The entire strategic plan was proposed by him, including the subsequent partial commercialization.

Can Fang Nian not know what he did?

It took several months and with the help of time nodes such as the Spring Festival, the software covered the light chat on the functional machine, and improved the relationship chain of strangers, acquaintances, and offline relationships.

Driven a large number of users to leave mobile QQ and choose light chat.

Although it has been restricted by development under the Xiaomi company, the development of Qingchat is still good.

After perfecting the entire social relationship chain, whether it is called the circle of friends or the function of sharing, the relationship chain has been revitalized, and the last link of information dissemination has been completed, forming a closed loop.

None of this is hot.

What else can fire?

"..."

After finishing the phone call with Lei Jun, Fang Nian also finished cooking the dinner.

Ok!

Now it can't be called cooking, it has to be called cooking.

After all, he is Chef Fang.

Lu Weiyu pulled Fang Xin and went to the dinner table with Guan Qiuhe.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Guan Qiuhe and Lu Weiyu smiled authentically.

"Boss Fang is awesome."

"Boss Fang has worked hard."

"..."

Fang Nian pays attention to them all the time.

He patted Fang Xin's head and said with a smile, "Hurry up, after eating, sister Xiaoyu will help you with your homework."

Fang Xin nodded her head, then stretched out her chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

As she grew older, Fang Xin grew up year by year and became more well-behaved.

As for fun, I don't really want to do my homework, but occasionally I have to be coquettish and cry, that's normal, kids.

"..."

In the Ching Ming season, which is rainy and sometimes sunny, the desire to go out is reduced.

Blink again.

The Qingming Festival holiday has ended for two days.

Ms. Lin Feng also returned to Shencheng. Everything is fine in Maoba.

It's been a rainy afternoon all day.

Whether you are going to school or going to work, you are all immersed in the fatigue and spring sleepiness after the holiday.

The Dangkang mobile game platform has a low-key announcement, and supports logging in with a third-party account through Qingchat.

As soon as the news came out, the small-scale game players became excited.

There is a news report on the portal website: The wolf is coming...
