Age of Dreams

The shares of Fairy Company are so popular, and everyone has a strong interest in Fairy Company, to be precise, every project invested by Xiao Qi.

NextLabs, DreamDrive, Airbnb, Squaer, Uber, Yammer, SUN, Zulily, FamilyMart, Meitu Sharing, Burn After Reading, Electronic Arts, Tesla, SpaceX, Facebook, Twitter...these are all companies that Xiao Qi invested heavily in , have more or less received a lot of attention.

Especially the company founded by Xiao Qi, as long as Xiao Qi is willing to release the shares, it will definitely be greatly sought after.

This is how Uber and Meitu share their valuations step by step.

Now, even under the pressure of burning after reading, the monthly users of Meitu Sharing will maintain a steady growth momentum, and the business and profit status are also steadily improving. This is a very remarkable thing.

This also proves that the entire market can accommodate two different categories of photo sharing sites, and it also proves how amazing Xiao Qi's entrepreneurial vision is.

Not to mention Uber. In the past two years, it has conquered cities in Europe, South America, Japan, South Korea and other places. Although there are various obstacles, its development momentum is still very strong, at least the people in large and medium cities like it. , very welcome its arrival.

Not to mention these companies with development potential, let’s just talk about Tesla and SpaceX, two money-losing companies. Because of Xiao Qi’s investment, the valuation has also been greatly improved this year, which has greatly eased the economic crisis. difficulty.

Even these non-main investment projects can get such great benefits, let alone Fairy Company's main business.

As mentioned before, the trial production of DreamPadMini parts, the inspection of the foundry, etc., all started last year.

After Dai Xian took over Xu Weihong's position in the factory, not only the production management of Fairy No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Factory, but also the review management of parts customization and purchase of various products, and the quality management of foundries, etc. Leave it to him.

Therefore, Dai Xian is actually very busy, and for the DreamPadMini, he has not had much rest since the second half of last year, and went to other places for investigation whenever he was free.

It is also thanks to Dai Xian who also has a group of management talents in his hands to help him manage all aspects of affairs, otherwise he will be so busy that he will not even have time to sleep.

To be honest, compared to Xu Weihong back then, Dai Xian is not much easier.

Although Xu Weihong was under the supervision of both the finance department and the factory, the factory at that time, the products of Fairy Company at that time, could not compare to the current scale at all!

The current scale has more than doubled, so Dai Xian's hard work is really no less than Xu Weihong.

For this reason, Yu Shanshan suggested to Xiao Qi that after the Spring Festival, Dai Xian can be promoted to the vice president of production affairs after the Spring Festival is over, after Dai Xian has completed all the tasks of the DreamPad Mini. In a few years, we will see if he can be promoted to the first level and get a 0.5% dividend.

Xiao Qi also agrees with this very much. Xiao Qi appreciates the conscientious Dai Xian very much. It is not easy for this kind of person to be alone, but if he is allowed to work in the familiar production field, there is no problem at all.

As the DreamPadMini project becomes more and more clear, there are more and more speculations and revelations about Fairy Company's upcoming production of another smart tablet.

Many people care about gossip, but more people in the industry care about the possible profits involved.

Whether it is parts or foundries, they all represent a huge profit, and they all represent the opportunity to take the train of Fairy Company to the other side of wealth.

In December, Xiao Qi went around the homes of his wives, and only returned to Rongcheng in January. He was relieved, but the other senior executives of Fairy Company were extremely hard-working.

Every day, people from all walks of life call to inquire about the supply of parts for new products and about OEMs. There are at least hundreds of factories recommended by themselves or introduced by others.

Dai Xian was undoubtedly the one who was asked the most.

He may not have the power to make decisions, but he is very familiar with the specifications of various parts and the needs of foundries, and knows which ones meet the requirements of Fairy Maiden.

If you can get information from him in advance, and make various improvements and targeted improvements when Fairy Company invites public bids in the future, then the possibility of getting an order will be greatly increased!

However, how else can we say that Dai Xian is another example of Xu Weihong? He is as loyal and honest as Xu Weihong. He is only interested in technical matters, and he doesn't like any social entertainment.

Unless someone who can't afford to offend asks, and he explains it a little bit, he ignores anyone else, doesn't talk about it on the phone, doesn't talk about it, doesn't talk about it, doesn't go to the banquet, and doesn't understand the gift... is an absolute model.

Over time, these people used a lot of connections and a lot of power, but the information they could get was still very little, so everyone finally understood that things still have to wait for Xiao Qi to decide.

But these parts manufacturers and foundry manufacturers, not everyone can see Xiao Qi. It is very difficult to meet and talk with Dai Xian. The bigger thing is that Zhou Bolai personally received him. Normally, Xiao Qi doesn't need to talk to them.

Those who can directly connect with Xiao Qi are either Xiao Qi's good friends or his relatives.

Guo Taiming naturally belongs to the category of Xiao Qi's good friends.

Over the past three to four years, the Red Sea Factory has always been Fairy’s top priority for cooperation. So far, the Red Sea Factory’s three factories in Rongcheng have directly employed more than 500,000 employees. Rongcheng is like them. The largest production base, Guo Taiming spends more than half of the year managing the factory in Rongcheng.

Guo Taiming has heard about the DreamPadMini a long time ago. In his mind, Fairy Company's new products, especially those related to DreamPad, must have his share. The fourth factory in Rongcheng, Honghai, will be established soon. Now, the Red Sea factory will usher in a new round of expansion.

However, until November, Fairy Company inspected 15 large and medium-sized foundries, but no one came to contact him, and Xiao Qi did not tell him about the DreamPad Mini, which made Guo Taiming feel a little panicked.

He asked Dai Xian many times in private. Dai Xian didn't say anything at first, but because the cooperation between Fairy Company and Honghai Factory was too close, Dai Xian had no choice but to reveal a little rumor.

Guo Taiming's heart sank immediately, and in the following December, he was anxiously looking for a good way to see how to break this situation.

He originally wanted to talk to Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi was not in China at all, he was in the United States for a while, Korea for a while, and then Japan, and went to the capital for a few days after returning...

He couldn't even go to those places, because Guo Taiming knew that Xiao Qi was going to see his wives, if he disturbed him, it would definitely be annoying.

After such a circle, when Xiao Qi returned to Rongcheng after New Year's Day, Guo Taiming immediately made an appointment to have lunch with Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi is notoriously dislikes socializing. Normally, Vice President Zhou goes to social gatherings. If Vice President Zhou can’t leave, that’s where Vice President Zhang Qingqing went, that is, the thirty or so giants at the central level, and Only the local giants in Shuchuan can make Xiao Qi eat.

Other occasions are naturally the dinners of the elders and some friends, but most of the time Xiao Qi is also pushed.

Xiao Qi knew what Guo Taiming wanted to talk about, after thinking about it, he still decided to go to the appointment.

After all, Mr. Guo is his good friend and long-term partner. Whether the business is done or not, he can talk to him.

I believe that with Guo Taiming's wisdom, he will definitely not complain about Xiao Qi because of this - all the businesses in the world cannot revolve around him.

At the dinner table, Guo Taiming smiled and said, "Qi Shao, I heard that the current new product can be regarded as a replacement for DreamPad?"

"Not really." Xiao Qi took out a DreamPad Mini from his bag and handed it over, "It's equivalent to a DreamPad of another size, named DreamPad Mini."

Because the assembly was completed in the Fairy Lab, Guo Taiming didn't even look at the machine, so he held it up and looked at it carefully, then opened it to take a look, and then said: "Qi Shao, your idea of ​​making a product is really amazing. Absolutely! This can be put in any leather bag, it is the most suitable for carrying around, and it must be the most popular!"

"Whether it's okay or not depends on the market." Xiao Qi smiled slightly, "I've heard them all say, Mr. Guo, you have an idea for the DreamPad Mini, but because it overlaps with the DreamPad3, I don't plan to let the Red Sea factory go. Instead, we plan to choose three foundries to do it. About 60 million units per foundry per year."

"That's it!"

Guo Taiming looked at the DreamPadMini in his hand again, nodded subconsciously, and understood Xiao Qi's meaning.

Obviously, it is a reduced model of DreamPad. Although the appearance is more detailed, it should be similar to DreamPad3 in essence.

Such a tablet of the same category can be manufactured by some new foundries, which is of great benefit to expanding the entire foundry system. (to be continued ~^~)
