My Return to Life

The drizzle has gradually stopped, the ground is wet, but the body feels warm, with a sticky and uncomfortable feeling.

I don't know how the sun arranges the attendance. The temperature was less than 20°C when it was sunny and cloudy in the first two days.

There are occasional showers today, but the temperature in the afternoon is as high as 26°C.

After eating a meal for more than two hours, I didn't even finish a bottle of 500ML wine.

On the porch of the private house, Fang Nian bid farewell to the big bosses one by one, and then got into his low-key silver-eared Audi.

The village head started the car and left smoothly.

While the tail lights were flashing, Fang Nian exhaled and felt a lot more relaxed.

He muttered happily: "If there is no accident, this month's work will be busy..."

The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Fang Nian's happy imagination.

Fang Nian's face froze when he took out his phone and looked at the notes on the screen.

After thinking about it, he swiped the screen to connect the call, and then Fang Nian quickly said: "Ah, Mr. Lei made the wrong number, right? It's okay, then I'll hang up first."

"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, I didn't bother you. A friend introduced a nice teahouse, let's have a cup of afternoon tea together." Lei Jun's laughing voice came from the receiver.

Fang Nian rolled his eyes, but still agreed: "All right."

"..."

After finishing the call, Fang Nian muttered, "I was born to work hard."

If I had known that Lei Jun had come to Shencheng one day earlier, it would definitely not be a pain in the ass.

Not to mention how busy Xiaomi and Qingchao are, let’s just say that Lei Jun himself is a well-known ‘model worker’, so there is no such loose time to come here in advance.

Compared with other companies in the Nuwa Alliance, Lei Jun has quite high expectations for the future of the smartphone industry.

The reason why Fang Nian was able to persuade Lei Jun so easily to develop a self-developed operating system was purely because Lei Jun also had ideas in his heart.

It's just that Fang Nian has ten years of tricky user experience, and he took advantage of this advantage to completely hook Lei Jun's thoughts.

Fang Nian's "Hate iron but fail to make steel" also shows the great potential of this industry from the side.

On the basis of the success of Mi 1, if Lei Jun doesn't strike while the iron is hot, what kind of business will he create?

What should be said or not, Fang Nian was also very curious about what Lei Jun held back all afternoon yesterday and insisted on keeping it until today to talk about it.

In less than twenty minutes, Tremella Audi stopped in front of another small courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Lei Jun arrived earlier than Fang Nian.

Obviously, the front and rear feet started from the same place.

"..."

They met just now, and neither of them exchanged pleasantries.

Soon sat in the teahouse.

Suddenly there was lightning and thunder outside, and the shower came as soon as it was said.

Fang Nian said casually: "The weather is too changeable with this thing."

Inexplicably, Lei Jun found Fang Nian's tone intriguing, and quickly explained: "Don't blame Mr. Fang, I'm also a little helpless."

"Huh?" Fang Nian blinked.

Lei Jun: "..."

Now the thinking of post-90s is too wild and unconstrained, and they can't keep up at all!

This is obviously because Fang Nian has no special meaning at all.

Taking a few sips from the teacup,

Only then did Lei Jun organize his thoughts, and said in a leisurely manner, "Mr. Fang, there are a few things I want to talk to you about."

After a short pause, Lei Jun got straight to the point: "Let's talk about it first. On the independent release of Nuwa 3.0, can Mr. Fang tell you what he thinks?"

Facing Lei Jun's serious eyes, Fang Nian shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Mr. Lei is overthinking. According to you, the frontier is a career. It's not wrong to say that, anyway, I'm too lazy to work in the Internet industry;

Nuwa is the basic operating system, no matter from which point of view it develops, at the current stage, some other methods are needed to go further;

It is a good choice to imitate the well-established international developer conference. "

After a short pause, Fang Nian looked at Lei Jun: "If I have to say it, at least the Nuwa system is a basic technology product. I want to push it to the point where it leads the trend, so that it can bring greater market and profits."

"..."

Lei Jun was silent for a while, and smiled after a while: "I understand Mr. Fang's meaning. In fact, he is still the idealist you mentioned before."

"It's one thing to make money, but I still want to leave my mark under the torrent of this great era."

Fang Nian did not deny: "I have lived for a hundred years. After I started to do finance, money has been turned into numbers by me. It should be a little interesting pursuit;

Of course, my status and energy are doomed, and any pursuit that is interesting to me can make it valuable. "

In the end, Fang Young smiled and said, "Boss Lei, you may have forgotten that the Nuwa system is not my pursuit, I just follow the trend."

"Haha~" Lei Jun hurriedly said haha, "Yes yes yes."

"..."

Then Lei Jun stopped mentioning about Nuwa.

Straight to the point: "In the past month, I have received many letters requesting investment."

"Mr. Fang should know that I also made games when I was in Jinshan, so I also have some contacts..."

"..."

It was exactly what Fang Nian guessed yesterday.

Lei Jun just wants to do some personal angel casting.

Not only that, but also want to organically combine this part of the investment with the game center of Qingchat's next step.

In addition, I also want to promote the development of light chat.

Because the user base of Qingchat is about to exceed 100 million.

Secondly, Lei Jun is also seeking Fang Nian's opinion on how to decide the financing process of Qingchao.

There are also Shunwei Capital's investment in the domestic mobile phone industry chain and so on.

In a word, it is all endless business.

Fang Nian didn't give a complete answer. He didn't say much about the organic combination of mobile games and light chatting.

It's just that Mr. Lei decides for himself.

As for the financing process of Qingchat.

"The biggest burden of Qingchat now is server resources. If this part of the problem can be solved, I think it doesn't matter whether it is financing or not."

"Actually, I don't really want to simply sell the light chat cheaply. It's more or less a money-making thing. If you wait a little longer for this thing, the result will be completely different."

Facing Fang Nian's calmness, Lei Jun didn't say much, and accepted Fang Nian's plan.

After all, as long as it lasts for a while, the valuation of Qingchao can easily exceed billions of dollars.

Now financing, it is not easy to get a high valuation.

Neither the P/S nor the P/E valuation method is suitable for Qingchat, and a plan of value multiples per user is required.

If there is another good prototype of the business model, this thing can create a show operation of 1 to 100 dollars.

At least Fang Nian knew of some companies that had used this kind of valuation method.

In fact, strictly speaking, including the general valuation algorithm for WeChat in later generations, it is also of this type.

It is said that WeChat has supported the market value of Goose Factory of nearly 800 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Isn't it the volume of 100 billion US dollars?

That works out to be worth $100 per user.

Finally, Fang Nian didn’t say much about Shunwei Capital’s investment progress in the domestic mobile phone industry chain.

Because Lei Jun mentioned this, it was just an exchange of news.

It’s nothing more than Lei Jun’s curiosity about one thing: “Mr. Fang, in fact, these days I have been wondering what you mean when you say that Xiaomi will definitely make a lower-end series of smartphones?”

After a short pause, Lei Jun said frankly: "Let me just say it straight;

In Xiaomi's internal long-term planning, after establishing brand product strength, it will hit the mid-to-high end..."

"We have conducted an in-depth analysis. It has only been four short years since Jobs re-invented the mobile phone. The reshuffle of the industry is a gradual and gradual blunt knife;

As Mr. Fang said, Nokia is outdated. If, I mean, if both Nokia and Motorola fall...

The global mobile phone industry will form a new pattern, the iPhone will occupy the high-end series, and some brands will lose their high-price competitiveness...

...

Calculated and converted into RMB 3000~4500, the price range will become a new mid-to-high end, and there may be a vacuum for a period of time, it is difficult to have strong enough brand products to occupy...

...

According to the estimate of the timeline, if Xiaomi can better control its products, it will be exactly the opportunity for Xiaomi to hit the mid-to-high end. "

After hearing Lei Jun's words, Fang Nian was not too surprised.

He has never underestimated Lei Jun's strategic vision.

Although almost all business partners say that Fangnian's strategic vision is unique.

But Fang Nian knew that it was his realistic vision of ten or even twenty years from now.

If they were on the same starting line, even Fang Nian would not be able to see Lei Jun even if he flattered him.

In fact, Xiaomi's internal long-term assessment is not ideal, but rather realistic.

It’s just that no one expected that Xiaomi’s repeated attacks on the mid-to-high end would end in failure, and even had a supply chain crisis.

Fang Nian thought for a while, and said mysteriously, "Boss Lei, I still say the same thing, and you will know it in the future. This does not conflict with what you said."

Fang Nian did not intend to disclose confidential information in this regard.

According to his speculation, at most in the middle of this year, Xiaomi will receive an explicit notice from above.

Because the basic process has been changed.

Lei Jun glanced at Fang Nian, frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Fang doesn't seem to be very optimistic about Xiaomi's long-term plan to hit the mid-to-high end?"

"That's not true, it's just what I think... Xiaomi's talent echelon system is really hard to describe." Fang Nian finished.

After Fang Nian's words fell, Lei Jun's back felt chills almost instantly.

In the business system of human society, no matter what happens, it can ultimately be attributed to human affairs.

Xiaomi's talent echelon system?

Xiaomi now has a ghostly talent echelon system.

Indeed, the co-founders are all excellent, experienced practitioners in the industry, but what else?

other...

It's really not too obvious a case to chat lightly.

Fang Nian would not talk to Lei Jun about the endless business, although after saying goodbye to Lei Jun again, he thought so in his heart.

…………

…………

In the next few days, the entire mobile game market became more and more gimmicks.

It attracts all kinds of people.

Fang Nian was a little speechless.

But this is also an inevitable process.

After all, Lei Jun often does not only represent him personally, especially in the capital circle.

In addition, Shen Nier and the others are not people who will completely sit on the sidelines.

but……

These things, Fang Nian is purely on the sidelines.

He wanted to be lazy for a few days, but things couldn't stop.

On Sunday afternoon, Lu Weiyu replied.

Fang Nian immediately put the preparations for the Nuwa Developer Conference on the agenda, and he himself had to participate.

After all, this is the first time that Nuwa Labs has made a serious debut around the world.

The meeting time was preliminarily set on Monday morning.

Fang Nian must be ahead of Apple's annual developer conference.

As early as the end of last month, Apple announced the time of this year's WWDC: June 6th to June 10th.

It has to be announced quickly.

There must be enough time.

In the end, Fang Nian went to Nuwa's laboratory again, and had a detailed discussion with Professor Huang and others for half an hour.

After comprehensive consideration, the set time is from May 22nd to May 24th.

After all, it is the first developer conference, and the heavy news is limited, which cannot support a conference week as long as WWDC.

The initial plan is to announce the news on April 20.

Ok……

It happened to be Grain Rain in the twenty-four solar terms that day.

"Some people, even their names are so tricky~ Such important days overlap so lightly." Wen Ye's eyes turned red with envy.

Gu Yu was so happy that he flew up.

Anyway...

On Monday, Fang Nian's feet were worn off a layer of skin.

I thought I could rest.

Unexpectedly, another remote meeting was held on Tuesday morning.

With Shen Nier and others.

Obviously, the base of the Influence Club is in Shanghai, so you can go directly to the World Financial Center.

But Shen Nier is very busy in the capital.

This meeting did not decide anything, it was just a brief review of the recent period.

probably...

Mr. Fang is awesome, Mr. Fang is amazing.

Because the "story" of the mobile game can already be told.

It's not over yet...

this afternoon.

The overall analysis summary report of the first tape-out of Baize Lab was handed over to Fang Nian's desk.

From Gu Yu's tone, it was obvious that the morale of a group of people in Bai Ze Laboratory was very low.

On the contrary, Lu Weiyu was a little surprised, she couldn't hold back, and said, "Mr. Fang, your judgment is a little too accurate."

"Yes, I know you want to call me crow's mouth, but this is actually in line with the difficulty of basic technology development." Fang Nian was very calm.

Lu Weiyu's thoughts are also normal.

Before it even started, Fang Nian swears that he will fail.

It might even be a complete waste of time.

Although it is a private statement, it can be regarded as a crow's mouth.

This tape-out can be declared a complete failure, and the purpose of tape-out has basically not been achieved.

It can basically be said to light up the screen.

There are more parameters and performance indicators, but the number achieved is too small, and it is a bit embarrassing to say it.

In the end, Fang Nian did not forget to tell: "Xiaogu, please contact Bai Ze Laboratory, and we will have a conference call in ten minutes."

Ten minutes later, the conference call was established.

Fang Nian's calm voice was transmitted to the frontier research center in Luzhou via radio.

"Academician Chen, Professor Zhang, Manager Shen, hello, I'm Fang Nian."

"I read the tape-out result report, but I didn't read the accompanying review report. In my opinion, this is not a mistake that needs to be reviewed;

The establishment of Baize Laboratory is short, the technology accumulation is not enough, and it is the latest technological process in the world. It is normal for such a situation to happen;

Chips belong to the field of basic technology, and the difficulty of development is inherently high, so there is no need for you to blame yourself;

I won't say much, I hope to see the application for the secondary tape-out submitted by you as soon as possible. "

Academician Chen hurriedly said earnestly: "Mr. Fang, please don't worry! We will face up to our failures and learn from our experience! We will live up to your trust in us!"

"..."

Fang Nian didn't give the people at Bai Ze's laboratory too many opportunities to talk.

Before ending the conference call, he said a few words in a low voice.

"I hope that even if I fail again next time, I don't need me to cheer you up!"

"You are engaged in basic technology research and development, and chips are known as the crown jewel of the electronic information industry;

Please be sure to keep your confidence going forward! "
