my return to life

Fang Nian quickly left the frontier company's office, and asked Wen Ye to arrange for Gu Yu to follow the documents and complete the final contract filing and other operations.

…………

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Nian drove to Lujiazui Financial District.

I met Lei Xi in the executive meeting room of the Park Hyatt Hotel.

This is the appointment we made this morning.

Lei Xi's affairs in Shencheng were basically completed. Before leaving, he wanted to talk to Fang Nian about the development direction of his establishment of Xiaomi.

This is also the performance of being responsible to investors.

"Did you interrupt Mr. Fang's class?"

After seeing Fang, Lei Xi laughed and made a joke.

Fang Nian laughed: "No, Mr. Lei may not know that my main job has always been a student. If I need to skip class, I won't come."

"..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lei Xi continued to go straight to the point as usual.

"Mr. Fang, I have invited some partners and plan to formally establish Xiaomi Technology next month..."

"..."

After saying a few words, Lei Zhe said seriously: "According to my ideas with some partners, I plan to get involved in the field of smartphones;

For now, smartphones can be roughly divided into two system ecology.

Only for Apple's iPhone OS ecosystem.

And the Android ecosystem for multiple mobile phone manufacturers. "

Fang Nian listened carefully and did not interrupt.

Although in his memory, Lei Xie once made a joke of 'are you OK' in the Indian market, but Lei Xie's English is actually not bad.

When talking about some serious business, Lei Xi would subconsciously say some English words.

It also includes investing.

"I see Mr. Fang, you also use Apple mobile phones. Do you like Apple's design or ecology?" Lei Xi looked at Fang Nian and asked.

Fang Nian thought for a while before answering: "I bought an Apple mobile phone at first because its design conforms to my aesthetics, it is easier to use logic, and it is more experience than Symbian.

Then I got used to it; it is undeniable that Apple is more convenient to use. "

Lei Xi took over the conversation and said enthusiastically, "That's right, for end users, convenience is a very important option."

"The UI design and other aspects of the iPhone OS system are very convenient for users, but the iPhone OS is a closed ecosystem after all, while Android is an open ecosystem..."

Having said that, Lei Ji paused, and said: "So, our current idea is to develop a UI design based on Android that is simpler, easier to use, and in line with the habits of Chinese people."

Following Lei Xi's words, Fang Nian said: "I don't know much about technology, and I'm more curious about whether it is to solve Android's stuttering and difficult-to-use feature."

"Of course." Lei Xi nodded happily.

"My idea is to optimize the ease of use from the bottom, to adapt to all smartphones currently on the market, to provide enthusiasts with a better choice, and to create a community belonging to our Xiaomi..."

"..."

Lei Xi spent a full 10 minutes explaining his future expectations for the Xiaomi community.

Expectations for this UI design currently tentatively named MIUI.

In this process, he also expressed his plan for the general direction of Xiaomi's future development.

What surprised Fang Nian was that Lei Xi never mentioned making a smartphone.

But if you think about it carefully, Lei Xi is actually a technical nerd, and Jinshan is also a software supplier. The change of thinking from developing software to designing hardware may not have arrived yet.

Or maybe Lei Xi thinks that such an idea is immature, so it's not easy to tell Fang Nian.

Fang Nian pondered for a while, and said, "Boss Lei, forgive me, but I have a few private questions that I would like to talk about."

"I hope Mr. Lei can help with the staff."

Lei Zhe made a polite gesture: "Please."

With a thoughtful look on Fang Nian's face, he said calmly, "I'm wondering if it's possible to integrate some easy-to-use software while developing MIUI.

For example, I am a rural child, and many people in my hometown can only use mobile phones to make calls, and sending text messages is very complicated for them;

Firstly, I am illiterate, and secondly, it is very complicated to convert dialects into Mandarin, and MMS is too expensive. Is it possible to develop an instant messaging software that supports voice intercom, just like shouting;

I think this kind of software will be used more frequently whether it is in rural areas or cities;

This kind of software has a low threshold and pays more attention to user experience, which is almost in line with MIUI. "

Lei Xi listened intently, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't speak for a long while.

Fang Nian put forward the development concept of Mi Chat in advance, so that Lei Xie would consider this software when leading the development of MIUI.

As for whether he can accumulate enough advantages to cannibalize the layout of the father of WeChat under the premise of rushing for time, Fang Nian is not sure.

After all, the failure factors of Mi Chat are multifaceted.

Especially when I ran into the product genius who understood the needs of users too much, and finally let Goose Factory completely dominate the instant chat.

After a long time, Lei Zhe said: "Leave this idea to the product to improve, it seems that an instant chat tool that is more advanced than QQ can be developed."

"I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that the prospect of this software is better than MIUI."

Hearing this, Fang Nian's eyelids twitched slightly, he laughed and said, "Not necessarily.

According to Mr. Lei, the directions of the two software are completely different, one is based on the bottom layer of the system, and the other is the application of the upper layer of the system. "

After a pause, Fang Nian said casually again.

"In my personal opinion, under the ideal state of MIUI's deep digging, it may be possible to develop a domestic system on the mobile phone platform."

As far as Fang Nian's known understanding is concerned, let's not talk about Lei Xi's structure, way of doing things, etc.

In the field of localization of mobile phones, Lei Kai has indeed tried many things.

Fang Nian himself has no motivation to change the world, change history, and change the world.

But he can invest in others, flip their thinking a little bit, and let them try to change the world.

That's why Fang Nian is so interested in Lei Xi.

======

Broken Bowl is asking for a subscription monthly pass.

Chapter 334

Because Lei Xi is the most suitable person in this time period.

It can be said that there is no one.

According to Fang Nian's known understanding, high-level executives and ordinary people hope that domestic products will have world-leading products in various fields.

Ideally, competition and cooperation will naturally lead to better development and future.

The giant crocodile-level companies entrenched in Pengcheng are promising, no matter what the circumstances, Fang Nian has no possibility of participating.

On the contrary, Fang Nian had the opportunity to easily intervene in a company like Xiaomi that was just about to be established.

After listening to Fang Nian's seemingly casual words, Lei Xi smiled: "Mr. Fang seems to have too much confidence in me."

"I'm still a young man, and I still have beautiful fantasies about the world."

Fang Nian said with a smile.

"For example, always believe that something good is about to happen."

Hearing this, Lei Xi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "That's right, you must always believe that good things are about to happen."

"Intuitively, this is still a good advertising line."

Fang Nian laughed: "Mr. Lei, remember to pay me the copyright fee when he uses it someday."

This is the slogan that Xiaomi will use in the future. Fang Nian is very good at copying homework.

"..."

Then Lei Zhe turned the topic back to MIUI and the unnamed instant messaging chat software.

"To do a good job of MIUI, it is indeed possible that the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change one day, and a smartphone operating system will be made, but..."

As he spoke, Lei Xi looked at Fang Nian: "Isn't this goal a bit too ambitious?"

Facing Lei Xi's gaze, Fang Nian said.

"Android and iPhone OS have just started, let alone iPhone OS, which is a closed ecosystem of Apple;

Just talking about Android, the ecology is far from perfect, the ease of use, interactive friendliness, etc. are not good enough, and the supported application software is not enough..."

Having said that, Fang Nian crossed his hands, looked at Lei Xi, and said with a smile.

"So why can't we do it ourselves, the Chinese market is huge."

Before Lei Xi could speak, Fang Nian said again: "I guess, maybe it's because my ancestors have been farmers for eight lifetimes, and they are cautious, so I have developed a habit of being prepared for everything;

For example, if Lei is always going to do MIUI, I was wondering if we can build MIUI and build our own operating system at the same time. This will not delay, and if the UI cannot be done in the future, we can still have our own system. "

Lei Xi fell silent, thinking about the feasibility of Fang Nian's proposal, the difficulties he would encounter, and so on.

Fang Nian glanced at Lei Xi, who was deep in thought, and said haha: "Actually, this is also a plan that was forced to come up with after the 'greed for fun' was targeted last year."

"I am a student of philosophy. Someone proposed a philosophical construction of a win-win concept. I have learned a little bit about win-win."

Lei Xi took over the conversation and stated calmly: "So, 'Greed for fun' suddenly transformed into a game platform;

Therefore, Mr. Fang even set up a capital company to actively invest in "greedy fun";

So the "crazy for fun" began to go out, choose to embrace capital, to better complete the entrepreneurial puzzle. "

After a pause, Lei Xi emphasized in a more emphatic tone: "So Mr. Fang suggested that I make two preparations, because it is easier to win a win-win situation by making a suitable smartphone system."

Facing Lei Xi's smiling eyes, Fang Nian nodded.

"I'm a timid person. Most of the time I think about how I will end up if I fail."

This is true.

In order to have an "elegant" ending, Fang Nian asked Guan Qiuhe to buy an office worth hundreds of millions in the name of "fun".

In order to have an 'elegant' ending, Fang Nian started to become a capital, doing angel investment.

In order to have a more "elegant" ending in the future, Fang Nian has prepared three retreats: bitcoin, gold, and investing in future hot technologies.

This is a habit that Fang Nian has developed in his previous life.

Although the actual wealth held by Fang Nian so far is still a galaxy away from his previous life, Fang Nian's preparations are much more secure than in his previous life.

Hearing what Fang Nian said, Lei Xi said, "I will seriously consider Mr. Fang's proposal."

"But in any case, I will carefully consider the design of the chat software."

Fang Nian made a gesture and said casually: "Just to say it casually, I don't understand technology shit, maybe it's more in the Arabian Nights."

"..."

Then Lei Zhe mentioned the Tanhaowan game platform: "I saw that 'Greedy Fun' was launched on the game platform. Before Mr. Fang came, I specially tried it through the internal test channel, and it was better than I expected. If it develops well , the future is limitless."

Fang Nian hurriedly said: "Mr. Lei's praise, it's only a semi-finished product for the time being, and a lot of content needs to be filled in."

"When 'Great Fun' needs financing, please let me know, some of my friends will be very interested." Lei Xie said with a smile.

The corner of Fang Nian's mouth turned slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Lei, for that."

The meaning revealed in Lei Xi's tone was already obvious.

This is also one of the usefulness of Fang Nian's understanding of Lei Xi.

'Greed for Fun' will indeed go out and will indeed accept capital, but that does not mean that it will accept those little guys who targeted 'Great for Fun' last year.

Based on such a consensus, it would be great for Lei Xi to help introduce some capital...
