My Return to Life

? After the call ended, Lei Jun didn't move for a long time.

Army...military training?

This very distant word once again deeply stimulated Mr. Lei Jun and Mr. Lei.

Remind Mr. Lei again that Fang Nian is a college student.

It is a college student who still needs to participate in military training.

But the assets and net worth are probably richer than him, and his vision is so long-term that he seems to want to see through the next ten, twenty, or thirty years.

What kind of monster is this?

Lei Jun, who was in Shencheng, suddenly felt inexplicably that he might have lived on a dog all these years...

later.

Wen Ye came to Fudan campus, and easily found Fang Nian who was following the crowd to eat in the cafeteria.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Xiaomi Lei is currently in Shanghai, and I hope to have an interview with you."

"He would like you to call back as soon as possible, if it is convenient for you."

"Mr. Lei didn't say anything specifically..."

"..."

As soon as Wen Ye finished speaking, Fang Nian quickly realized that he used Wen Ye's mobile phone to call Lei Jun back.

Simply agreed to have a cup of tea together at eight o'clock in the evening.

After finishing the official business, Wen Ye saw that the time was still very loose, glanced at Fang Nian quickly, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Fang has a good military training experience, right?"

"I heard that you broke arms with the instructor."

Fang Nian: "?"

"I accidentally overheard it on the road, and it looks like many people are discussing it, especially the girls." Wen Ye said calmly.

Her little head is full of gossip thoughts, so she doesn't think too much about the consequences.

Fang Nian said softly, "Oh, is that so?"

"I can't tell Mr. Fang has such a good figure." Wen Ye glanced up and down at Fang Nian's upper body when he said this.

Fang Nian glanced at Wen Ye: "Wen Mi, believe it or not, I beat you out of real schizophrenia."

Hearing this, Wen Ye whispered, "Should I...should I believe it?"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and sort out the information on the mobile phone supply chain, don't be an eyesore here."

"..."

When leaving, Wen Ye had an expression on his face.

She really thinks it's interesting to tease her immediate boss, especially when there is a topic.

Like now.

Wen Ye never imagined that Mr. Fang Nian Fang specially participated in the military training, and he didn't even bring his mobile phone, so he didn't worry about missing out on such a billion-dollar business;

During the military training, because of his good physical fitness, he wrestled with the instructor!

This is not a joke, what are you waiting for!

…………

…………

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Fang Nian drove to the teahouse in Lujiazui by himself.

He brought the materials that Wen Ye had prepared in advance.

"Boss Fang worked hard."

Seeing Fang Nian, Lei Jun greeted him with a smile.

"Is military training hot?"

Fang Nian replied with a smile: "Fortunately, when the temperature is too high, outdoor training will be stopped."

"The experience is not bad. The instructor still wants to drag me to join the army. To be honest, I really want to go to the military camp to experience it."

Hearing Lei Jun sigh: "Mr. Fang is too young!"

"Didn't Mr. Lei insist on outdoor sports all the year round?" Fang Nian joked with a smile.

"..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fang Nian looked at Lei Jun and said with a smile, "Boss Lei is coming back from abroad, right?"

"I went to Dongying with two partners." Lei Jun didn't hide it.

Then he said calmly: "How should I put it, I feel deeply."

Hearing this, Fang Nian smiled slightly: "Did you find that when it comes to the hardware field, the ones that are easier to use are somewhat monopolistic?"

Lei Jun glanced at Fang Nian: "Mr. Fang...has research on this too?"

Then he reacted immediately: "No wonder they persuaded me to establish Shunwei Capital so long in advance!"

"Isn't Boss Lei here for the sake of Shunwei Capital?" Fang Nian made a gesture and said directly.

Looking at Fang Nian, Lei Jun said bluntly: "Sometimes I wonder what kind of evil Mr. Fang is. As long as it is a key core issue, he will always make corresponding preparations one step ahead."

"Mr. Lei, don't flatter me. When we first met, I said that I am a person who is used to two-handed preparation." Fang Nian said easily.

"It's not a shame to make more preparations for things like making money."

Lei Jun smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Fang already knows something about the hardware industry."

"I've heard about it." Fang Nian didn't deny it.

"This time I went abroad and encountered a lot of obstacles."

Lei Jun sighed.

"No matter how you go, you can't avoid leading manufacturers in the hardware industry such as Qualcomm, Samsung, Toshiba, Sharp, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Murata, and Kasei in the end."

Hearing Lei Jun mention a long list of well-known foreign manufacturers, Fang Nian also sighed.

"A good mobile phone is inseparable from good hardware support."

"These brands are basically established for many years, deeply rooted, and they control the entire supply chain tightly."

Lei Jun deeply agrees: "Cooperation is very difficult. Some of them are not about money at all, but they don't trust small companies like Xiaomi, fearing that Xiaomi will affect their brand control for many years."

"Actually, that's not the point. The point is that there are almost no alternatives at the same level." Fang Nian put it bluntly.

Assembling a mobile phone in 2010, the main categories involve memory, display, radio frequency, antenna, chip, battery, electroacoustic, connector, shell, mechanism, camera module, touch control, and circuit board.

There are even more subdivisions.

Memory alone involves: DRAM, non-volatile flash memory, TF card and so on.

With so many types of hardware, there are only a few manufacturers that do well.

Among them, Samsung is the industry leader in many categories.

For a small company like Xiaomi, not to mention the right to bargain, they have to consider whether to sell or not.

Lei Jun deeply realized this when he went abroad this time.

Small companies have no say at all.

Completely manipulated to death.

and……

Progress has not been ideal.

This is Xiaomi's first attempt at making a mobile phone, and there is no reference data to control sales, so it is hard to talk about it in many cases.

this is the truth.

It’s not that Xiaomi is short of money. It has raised money twice before and after, and the cash flow is actually quite abundant, with hundreds of millions lying in the account.

If it doesn't work, there are Lei Jun's own contacts, Fang Nian, and Shunwei Capital's 1 billion RMB fund.

…………

Lei Jun didn't pour too much bitter water, and soon got down to business.

"I also visited some factories from South Korea to Dongying, and I found that China's development in the smartphone industry is relatively lagging behind;

In fact, the frequency of upgrading of the entire global electronic products is accelerating. Even a large manufacturer like Samsung, which has mastered some industry standards, is still conducting experiments and explorations. "

"Based on what I saw during this business trip, I speculate that the wave of smartphones will soon sweep the world, and China will undoubtedly be the largest market."

At this point, Lei Jun paused slightly: "But without any actual sales data to support it, there is no way to make a detailed judgment on the future."

After hearing Lei Jun's words, Fang Nian pondered for a while, and said, "Boss Lei, from my point of view, this question is actually very simple."

With that said, Fang Nian spread his hands and said calmly.

"We all know how popular Apple's iPhone 4 is. Referring to Apple, as long as Xiaomi makes a smart phone, consumers will naturally choose it, not just for enthusiasts."

Lei Jun laughed: "Haha... The truth is actually very simple, I've got a picture."

"Xiaomi won't say much here, let's get down to business."

As he said that, Lei Jun looked at Fang Nian: "What does Mr. Fang think about Shunwei Capital's investment tendency?"

Hearing this, Fang Nian took out the documents that Wen Ye had sorted out from his briefcase, looked through them calmly for a while, and handed them to Lei Jun.

"This is a domestic manufacturer sorted out by my secretary."

"From the time I proposed to form a capital institution, my thinking has never changed."

Having said that, Fang Nian paused for a while.

"Because of the 'Nuwa' factor, Frontier will not directly intervene in the mainstream mobile phone production and sales industry, which also makes me more determined to do a good job in Shunwei Capital."

"I am very optimistic about the smartphone industry. The supply chain is the most important part of it. I don't need to do it, but I should not let go of the investment opportunity."

Finally, Fang Nian emphasized: "For Xiaomi, if the goal is to become a big company, it must have the right to speak in the supply chain."

The right to speak is actually quite simple. The more controllable options, the greater the right to speak.

It's that simple.

The meaning of Fang Nian is also very simple, now is an option to invest in the future.

Even if Xiaomi does not succeed, smartphones will not disappear, and they will still benefit.

As for why it is domestic.

How fresh.

Spend so much money to send growth blessings to gringos?

There is a hole in the brain.

After listening to Fang Nian, Lei Jun also finished reading the materials Wen Ye had compiled.

There are BOE on it, as well as major panel manufacturers such as China Star Optoelectronics, which was established in Pengcheng and is still under construction.

For example, Luxshare Precision, which has done a good job in connectors, will be on the market soon.

There are also some completely unknown small factories, such as Liantao Technology, which is trembling under Luxshare Precision.

Etc., etc.

After closing the information, Lei Jun was amazed: "You are a very strong secretary, the information is very clear, and the situation of the entire domestic mobile phone industry chain is clear at a glance."

"This is all big data analysis."

Fang Nian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Not to mention, it's still a traditional method, but there are more people and more strength."

"The situation in some domestic fields is not bad." Seeing that Fang Nian didn't mean to talk about big data in depth, Lei Jun smiled and turned back to the topic.

"One billion yuan is not too much, so there must be a plan."

"So, let's call this investment plan."

Fang Nian nodded happily: "No problem, let's simply confirm the general direction of affairs."

Then Fang Nian said frankly and honestly: "Because of the funds, I personally tend to invest more in supporting some small companies with accumulated technology, cast a wide net, and then systematically screen."

"Oh?" Lei Jun was a little surprised, "Why didn't you vote for a ready-made manufacturer?"

Fang Nian explained: "The products of these manufacturers are not enough to be selected by Xiaomi, which is already very unsatisfactory."

"From a development perspective, a small boat is easy to turn around."

Lei Jun pondered for a while, and said, "Is it possible to neutralize it? After all, funds need to make profits, and the return cycle of small companies will not be ideal."

"I have no objection." Fang Nian smiled.

"Only with income can we expand the fund size of Shunwei Capital."

Lei Jun took it for granted: "After I went to Dongying and officially saw the deep waters of the hardware industry, I realized what it means to be an industrial heavy asset, and 1 billion is not enough."

"Show some results, so we can continue."

Fang Nian said calmly: "The development of the industrial field is generally slow. Even if it is an electronic product, if it is invested this year, it will take at least two or three years to achieve results. At that time, it must be the era of the explosion of smart phones."

"So I admire the other party's long-term vision." Lei Jun said with a smile.

Fang Nian smiled and said nothing.

To put it in a relatively simple adjective, this is Fang Nian's business structure.

If Xiaomi enters the smartphone industry, if it becomes bigger and stronger, then it will be a year of blood.

Shunwei Capital invested in some domestic hardware manufacturers in advance. With the advent of the smartphone era, the demand is bound to be huge, and Fang Nian is still making money.

In the words of Xinchao, in terms of the shareholding ratio of these two companies, Lei Jun may make a lot of money, but Fang Nian will never lose money.

risk?

How can there be no risk in the commercial field.

Fang Nian can only make more preparations, so that these preparations can be the correct answer as much as possible.

As far as the field of smartphones is concerned, Fang Nian does not have too many correct answers.

Self-developed 'Nuwa' system.

Invest in companies such as Xiaomi and Meizu.

Invest in the domestic smartphone hardware supply chain.

Fang Nian knows better that with the development of society, the concept of intelligence will cover more layers, and eventually including smartphones will be collectively referred to as smart devices.

Smart devices are inseparable from some key cores.

There will undoubtedly be hardware.

Also inseparable from the system.

Shunwei Capital's plan was finalized in a few words between Fang Nian and Lei Jun.

…………

After that, Lei Jun also talked about the harvest of this trip abroad and Xiaomi's plan.

"From the year before last, I wanted to make a mobile phone, and this year I officially entered this industry. Up to now, it has developed far faster than I expected."

Lei Jun said with emotion.

"Roughly decided to officially release the mobile phone in March and April 2011."

Fang Nian asked curiously, "What are your thoughts on hardware?"

He doesn't remember the hardware configuration of Xiaomi's first generation, he only remembers that Xiaomi's debut was the pinnacle, and the first generation exploded.

"The processor is basically determined to use Qualcomm. The screen has not yet reached an agreement with Sharp, but it is only a matter of time. A 4-inch LCD screen will be used with TPK's capacitive touch module..."

Lei Jun told the truth.

Each component has a brief description.

"With such high efficiency, does Lei always poach any team?" Fang Nian gossiped.

Lei Jun smiled: "Motorola."

"It's Zhou Guangping who leads the team, basically from Motorola, and Liu De in industrial design."

"..."

Lei Jun also talked about the follow-up plan.

It is planned to hand over OEM orders to Foxconn and Inventec.

It also mentioned 'Nu Wa'.

"This domain name was given to Frontier, but after our internal discussions, we still plan to build a new forum called MIUI, which will be deeply customized based on 'Nuwa'."

Having said that, Lei Jun sighed a few words.

"Xiaomi's internal software team is saying that the cutting-edge is really awesome, and in just over half a month, it has almost made 'Nuwa' look brand new from the inside out.

Compared with Android and Nuwa, they are more willing to conduct in-depth customized development based on Nuwa. "

As he said that, Lei Jun said earnestly: "Handing Nuwa to Mr. Fang is the most correct decision made by Xiaomi."

"In the whole of China, there is no one who is more suitable to be in charge of Nuwa than Mr. Fang."

Hearing this, Fang Nian said calmly: "I told Mr. Shen of Sequoia some time ago, if the frontier cannot be done, it may not be able to be done in the next few years."

"Although I don't understand any technology, I am a person who is poor and fastidious, and has a strong sense of pursuit of life.

There are many and long-winded requirements, and there are relatively extensive university resources. It is a bit unreasonable not to be awesome. "

"Haha..." Lei Jun laughed.

"I look forward to the surprises from Nuwa's laboratory."

"..."

After joking around, Lei Jun changed the subject: "Boss Fang doesn't know Robin yet, I heard he wants to know you."
