my return to life

"Mr. Huang, let me ask you a question. I forgot to mute my phone in advance during the meeting. When the phone rang, there are four options in front of you:

Hang up, press volume key to decrease volume, mute from status bar, mute with one touch.

Which way do you think is more relaxed? "

Before Huang Xiujie could answer this question, Lei Xi took the lead.

"I think what Mr. Fang said is very reasonable, and the solution is also very beautiful. Compared with Apple's forward and backward toggle, the two solutions proposed by Mr. Fang are smoother.

In particular, the way of independently sliding up and down buttons provides three-stage options: mute, ring, and vibrate. This design considers more possibilities, and it is simply a genius design. "

Hearing this, Fang Nian asked with a smile, "Isn't it possible to combine the volume up and down keys?"

"It's also very good, but the requirements for the buttons are a bit high, and the industrial implementation is more complicated." Lei Xi smiled.

"..."

The discussion didn't know the time, and soon it was lunch time.

In the end, Huang Xiujie, who was almost completely conquered, expressed his heartfelt emotion: "Just the idea of ​​appearance design is almost equivalent to giving Meizu a choice that cannot be rejected;

To be honest, although I don't know what Apple's new product will look like, but as far as I know now, I think that following this design plan should also form a design subversion. "

"Especially the front camera, but I think Apple will definitely do this feature."

Lei Xie took the conversation and was amazed: "The content of Mr. Fang's few pages has allowed us to discuss it all morning, and it has almost opened up our limitations on the future development of smart phones;

Suitable for large screen, round R angle, fingerprint unlocking, physical three-stage mute button, try to fully integrate, antenna distribution, front and rear camera layout and optical structure..."

At this time, Huang Xiujie answered the phone, then got up and said: "Boss Lei, Boss Fang, prepare a little wine for lunch, please do me a favor."

On the way, the discussion is still not over.

Lei Xi looked at Fang Nian, and asked in confusion: "President Fang, I don't understand something;

Why did you emphasize the weight of the mobile phone in grams, and you think it must not exceed 150g. "

Huang Xiujie was also very concerned about this issue, and also looked at Fang Nian: "That's right, mobile phones nowadays are very light, how big is 150g?"

Fang Nian replied with a smile: "Prevent tenosynovitis."

Beeping softly in my heart: "Who would have thought that in the future there would be a bunch of half-baked phones, a bunch of big screens, and tenosynovitis could be caused by playing with a mobile phone?"

"What inflammation?" Lei Xi blinked.

Fang Nian laughed: "It's just that the fingers hurt. With the infinite expansion of mobile phone carrying information, the mobile phone will become something that everyone can't live without. If the mobile phone is too heavy, it will cause extra burden on the fingers."

"..."

This topic was quickly skipped, and Huang Xiujie said with emotion: "The plan given by Mr. Fang has almost completely solved the shackles of Meizu's mobile phone development, but to be honest, it is not easy to achieve this."

"It's really not easy." Lei Xi agreed.

Fang Nian smiled and said nothing, there is no easy job in the world, especially the job of earning money.

But he also knew that Huang Xiujie and Lei Xi were just sighing casually.

On the contrary, the current result is much better than expected, and it is not in vain that Fang Nian worked overtime last night.

Chapter 396 Nuwa Creates a 'World'

Lunch is arranged in a very high-end restaurant.

It can be called a full banquet of Man and Han.

There are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.

Compared with the previous two meetings, Huang Xiujie was obviously more polite: "It's a small place, the hospitality is not good, and I still hope Mr. Fang will be Han."

Fang Nian smiled and said, "President Huang is too polite."

"..."

After sitting down and moving their chopsticks, they chatted.

Huang Xiujie told Lei Xi about the customs of Zhuhai.

Fang Nian interjected: "Speaking of which, Mr. Lei spent his youth in Zhuhai, right?"

"Basically, when I left Jinshan, Hengqin hadn't been included in Zhuhai." Lei Xi replied with a smile, "Now Zhuhai is getting bigger and bigger."

Fang Nian asked curiously: "Then Mr. Lei didn't want to stay in Zhuhai when he started his business. The economic conditions here are also very good."

"I'm also very familiar with the capital city." Lei Xi smiled.

Huang Xiujie glanced at Fang Nian and said with a smile, "Fang always forgets that Mr. Lei still has the identity of the CPPCC?"

Fang Nian pursed his lips: "It turns out that everyone is a boss, and only I am a student. No wonder it is difficult to claim compensation."

"Boss Fang still hasn't forgotten what happened last night?" Huang Xiujie was delighted when he heard this.

He likes surfing the Internet very much, and he is also a Zaun player, so he is born to watch the excitement without taking too much trouble.

Fang Nian said with a serious face: "This kind of thing is not so easy to forget."

"Hahaha~" Rei laughed.

"..."

Talking, and chatting about the itinerary.

"Boss Fang isn't rushing back to Shencheng tonight?" Lei Xi asked with a smile.

Fang Nian thought for a while and replied: "I should be going back to Shencheng. Haven't you already exploited me? Don't plan to let me go yet."

"Tomorrow Monday, I have to go back to school."

Huang Xiujie laughed: "I think it's okay."

"Okay, then I have no problem here." Lei Xi said helplessly.

"..."

After the meal, the three of them had a discussion, and they didn't go to the lunch break, and went back to the Meizu headquarters directly.

…………

…………

In the afternoon, the office of the chairman of Meizu.

Lei Xi didn't hesitate much, and directly brought up the business: "What is Mr. Fang thinking about investing in Meizu now?"

Before Fang Nian could speak, Huang Xiujie said first: "I personally feel that the arrangement of shares is inappropriate, and Meizu sincerely invites Mr. Fang to be Meizu's honorary strategic decision-making officer;

But 5% stake is a bit too low! "

Fang Nian looked at Huang Xiujie helplessly: "Boss Huang, isn't 5% enough?"

"Think about it, if one day Meizu grows into a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, 5% is 5 million dollars!"

He shook his head with amusement in his heart: "I was still uneasy before I came here, but now this change is too realistic."

At this time, Lei Xi interjected ahead of Huang Xiujie: "Fang is always rewarded for nothing, so let's do it according to the previous agreement."

"Okay." Huang Xiujie gave up pestering this matter.

Fang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "You guys are rushing to give me shares, which makes me a little scared."

"In addition to the 5% permanent shares, Mr. Fang will invest another 10%." Lei Xi said in a deep voice, "I will invest 15%, and the remaining 5% can be agreed to pay at a later date. Mr. Huang agrees."

Huang Xiujie thought for a while, then nodded: "With [-] million in cash, Meizu has enough ability to overthrow everything before and start over."

"If there is no problem, we will sign the memorandum of cooperation first, and the cooperation will not take too much time. I think Mr. Huang is also very interested in the second half of the graffiti work." Lei Xie said directly.

Huang Xiujie was the first to express his opinion: "I have no objection."

Seeing this, Fang Nian spread his hands together: "You have all made up your mind, what else can I say."

"Boss Lei, Boss Huang, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to come up with another 5000 million within the agreed time?"

Lei Xi smiled: "Mr. Fang, we all know that we are greedy for fun, and it's only 5000 million."

"Yes." Huang Xiujie nodded.

To be honest, the fun-loving development this month is really wild. According to the sales volume of the platform, the non-reserve cash should be very abundant.

Not long after, Huang Xiujie brought over a document.

Fang Nian couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it: "You guys planned it long ago, just wait for me to sign it!"

"5%+10%, is there any problem?" Huang Xiujie said with a natural look.

"..."

The three signed their names on different documents and reached a memorandum of cooperation.

The rest is to formally sign the contract, receive the investment funds and so on, which has nothing to do with Fang Nian.

…………

After this matter was over, Lei Xi asked the question almost immediately.

"Mr. Fang, let me just say that it is not complicated to develop a brand new smartphone operating system. In the past month, Xiaomi has basically completed the kernel development;

But it can only be considered as a draft, and there are many problems to be solved urgently. This is why I came to Zhuhai to find Mr. Huang. I hope that both of us can share some resources. "

Speaking of this, Lei Xi glanced at Fang Nian: "But, Mr. Fang, you provided some new ideas today."

"Maybe we have another way of resource sharing and cooperation." Huang Xiujie interjected impatiently.

"I have a draft of m9's UI (user interface) design here, which is deeply customized based on the Android system. That is to say, Meizu has relatively mature experience in UI design."

Lei Xi hurriedly said: "Xiaomi's original intention was to carry out in-depth customization for Android, and we also have corresponding mature experience at this level."

Seeing this, Fang Nian felt a little amused, and said, "I think, since it's cooperation, it's better to talk openly;

In my opinion, user interface design is something that every company that aspires to make smartphones needs to customize, and must have its own elements;

For example, in-depth customization of Android can theoretically even lead to a better file system, deeper permission restrictions, smooth operation, etc.;

So for this thing, most of the early stage depends on the feedback and experience of their respective users. In this regard, Meizu does have an advantage. "

Hearing this, Lei Xi immediately said: "But that is a normal situation, not including the draft you gave."

"Yes, if it develops normally, it will really look at user feedback and experience in the early stage, but now Mr. Fang has almost omitted this step."

Huang Xiujie said with emotion: "I agree with Mr. Lei's point of view. Strictly speaking, Meizu has been working on UI design for so long, and even watched the 91 assistant become popular, and never thought of building an app store."

Speaking of this, Huang Xiujie hesitated: "But..."

"Mr. Fang, you have invested in 91 Assistant. Why do you emphasize that there must be a 'system mobile service' option?"

Fang Nian laughed: "This is not a conflict. 91 Assistant currently only serves a part of the smartphone operating system. We are developing a system from scratch, so naturally we need to build it ourselves.

And this is the basic ecology, which is not a special case. "

"There is no such concept in the PC era because the needs are different. In the smartphone era, the app store will greatly facilitate users to use mobile phones;

Based on the application store as the platform, it will be more convenient for more development engineers to develop applications, release applications, and gain benefits through development, thereby enriching the application ecology. "

Lei Xi praised sincerely: "Mr. Fang's understanding of the word platform really goes deep into every corner."

"..."

"I'm more interested in the most basic logic of user interface design emphasized by Mr. Fang in this sketch, which can be solved at one time." Huang Xiujie said, "I wonder if Mr. Fang can explain it."

Fang Nian explained calmly: "Actually, this concept is rather scattered;

To put it simply, it is something that can be solved with one-step operation. Don’t let the user use the second step. For example, this is why I want to apply fingerprints to unlocking;

Now Apple's logic is to press the Home button or the power button to light up the screen, then slide the screen, then enter the password, and then unlock.

This is three steps for the user.

It can be boiled down to one step, touch the Home area with your finger to unlock.

The same is true in user interface design. For example, I suggest three ways to take screenshots, pressing the button, tapping the screen, and pulling down the menu.

Personally, I appreciate the way of tapping the screen to take screenshots, but I don’t know if it can be realized industrially. This involves complex logic such as gravity sensing. After all, I am a layman. "

After a short pause, Fang Nian went on to explain: "In fact, there is another layer. Don't create multiple entrances for users. Try to have only one entry for any function setting, so as to reduce the time for users to think."
