my return to life

For example: From a purely commercial point of view, it is a 'stupid' thing to do WPS office software...

Lei Jun looked at Fang Nian and asked with a smile, "Doesn't Fang always feel that with the listing of Jinshan, this ideal has been realized?"

"From an objective point of view, I don't think so." Fang Nian said frankly.

He made no compliments.

The listing of Jinshan is not necessarily related to the success of WPS.

The 'battle' that began in 88 to deal with the impact of foreign software has actually been a complete failure so far.

"At that time, I couldn't hold on to it several times." Lei Jun said quietly, "Finally, Jinshan was finally listed, and I put down my burden and fled. I was relieved and ashamed."

Speaking of this, Lei Jun sighed: "Before I founded Xiaomi, I also thought about building my own operating system;

At that time, I used the triathlon of software, hardware, and the Internet to convince Lin Bing. "

Fang Nian listened carefully and did not interrupt Lei Jun.

"When I was in Jinshan, Mr. Qiu said to me:

Compared with their foreign counterparts, Chinese programmers have a lot of ideas, and they are willing to regard product and technology research and development as some kind of glory in order to achieve self-realization. "

Lei Jun calmed down.

"Later, I decided to do in-depth UI customization based on Android because countless examples in the past told me that it was too difficult to start from scratch."

As he said that, Lei Jun suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Nian: "The reason why I was persuaded by you to finally take Xiaomi into independent research and development is because you put the possibility of success in front of my eyes;

Before that, we didn't know if it was the right thing to do. "

Speaking of this, Lei Jun laughed at himself: "Before today, I was very curious about the source of your determination to study future development, Mr. Fang, until..."

"Mr. Fang, you said 'It's better to have a father than a mother', and I suddenly realized."

"I'm wondering if it is possible to cover this point of view more widely before Xiaomi officially makes a mobile phone."

After Lei Jun's words fell, Fang Nian was silent for a long time.

It took a while before he spoke: "Actually, I'm not sure it's correct;

It's just that I look forward to the future that will slowly develop through my own influence. "

"As Mr. Lei said, Chinese programmers are willing to regard product development as some kind of glory."

Speaking of this, Fang Nian smiled and said calmly, "I like this kind of enthusiasm."

Following this thread, Fang Nian said a few more words.

"With the rapid development of the Internet age, some people began to think that the view of 'buying is worse than building' made our country develop another possibility in the development of core technology;

I half support and half oppose these remarks. Looking at the past now, I always think that there were more choices in the past;

So I support these remarks, 'making is worse than buying' has indeed affected the development and progress of my country's core technology;

From the perspective of the past, if our country wants to integrate with the international mainstream society, it cannot avoid entering the information superhighway, and it cannot avoid introducing software and hardware that have been developed in the United States for many years;

From this point of view, I am opposed to these remarks, 'it is better to buy' than to make our country have the opportunity to enter the information age. "

Having said that, Fang Nian paused, looked at Lei Jun, and smiled.

"Now, we are standing at the entrance of another era, which Jobs unveiled with iPhone4;

I don't know if I'm right, but I can start the next decade with the flow. "

Hearing what Fang Nian said, Lei Jun's expression suddenly changed.

He heard more meaning from Fang Nian's words...

Chapter 470 Cooperation with the Trend (Monthly Pass + Subscription required)

The sound of bowls and chopsticks clinking was loud and frequent.

Lei Jun and Fang Nian both speeded up their meals.

Not long after, both of them wiped their mouths.

Lei Jun took a sip of warm tea and rinsed his mouth. He leaned back in his chair, changed his sitting position, crossed his legs, and calmed down.

"Mr. Fang, can you explain in detail?"

Fang Nian was not surprised by Lei Jun's curiosity.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Fang Nian looked at Lei Jun and said, "Mr. Lei, do you still remember when I said I was an idealist?"

Seeing Lei Jun nodding, Fang Nian continued: "The frontier is my ideal."

"A few days ago, Frontier discussed cooperation with Xi'an Jiaotong University, established the Frontier Science and Technology Research Institute, and planned to build 15 interdisciplinary research centers based on 30 basic disciplines;

Basically, it is pure science and engineering research, mainly in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science, computing science and so on. "

In the end, Fang Nian concluded: "This is what I prepared to follow the trend."

Lei Jun frowned: "Research institute? Will it recruit students?"

Fang Nian nodded and replied: "Yes, according to the plan of Xi'an Jiaotong University, it will be put into use before September, and try to recruit enough professors and doctors during the summer vacation;

In the first academic year, professors lead master and doctoral students to set up research project teams;

In the autumn of 2011, it officially recruited master and doctoral students. "

"How much money did you invest?" Lei Jun thought for a while and asked a key question.

Fang Nian smiled and said: "Xijiao University invested 1 million yuan, Frontier invested 1.5 million yuan, the first phase."

Lei Jun thought about it for a moment, and then asked: "How many frontier institutes like this do Mr. Fang plan to build across the country?"

"Strive to promote the construction of 4 more before the end of this year." Fang Nian did not hide it from Lei Jun.

Lei Jun thought for a while and asked, "Apart from Fudan University, what are the target schools?"

"Fudan?" Fang Nian was startled, then slapped his thigh: "How could I forget about Fudan!"

"Looks like I'll have to work hard to earn some money."

Lei Jun: "?"

Fang Nian explained: "I originally wanted to cooperate with Shanghai Jiaotong University, Tsinghua University, and University of Science and Technology of China. Now that I add Fudan University, it will be stable."

As he said that, Fang Nian suddenly looked at Lei Jun: "President Lei, Wuhan University, can you say something?"

"How to say?" Lei Jun looked curious.

Fang Nian said: "Frontier wants to cooperate with Wuhan University to build a research institute like Frontier Academy, but...

Wuhan University has no frontier clubs yet, so it lacks a little foundation. "

Lei Jun glanced at Fang Nian and said, "Could Mr. Fang really want to be an idealist?"

"According to what you said, Xi'an Jiaotong University is involved in the development through frontier associations;

That is to say, basic disciplines are biased towards engineering research, and do not have intuitive economic benefits, which..."

Having said this, Lei Jun suddenly understood, smiled and closed his mouth.

It's clear.

Fang Nian just wanted to give some students of basic sciences a reason to continue their studies after completing their undergraduate studies.

Moreover, Lei Jun also saw that Fang Nian wanted to make full use of the resources of domestic high-quality universities by building more cutting-edge colleges.

Give some chances to choose better educational resources for research-oriented basic subjects that they like after studying hard on their own.

With China's population base, there will never be a shortage of talents or even geniuses, what is lacking is opportunities.

From Fang Nian's description, Lei Jun also saw the system of the American University that the Frontier Institute model followed.

This is a completely different system from the public education "free and happy learning" advocated by the United States.

It is undeniable that the educational resources of excellent universities in the United States are very advanced, and many familiar things come from university laboratories.

Fang Nian came up with a new idea when he was answering that little question raised by Lei Jun.

The new idea is more complicated, and Lei Jun can understand it after explaining it in a systematic way.

Fang Nian has some answers as to whether Xiaomi will fully adhere to the "self-owned" route to develop the integration of software and hardware including the system.

The core point of view is: follow the trend.

And Fang Nian's subsequent explanation also told Lei Jun the current actual situation.

Cutting-edge science and technology will not appear out of thin air, and Xiaomi can make an operating system that can run on mobile phones at this stage.

But that doesn't mean it's a successful system.

That's why Fang Nian proposed the concept of the 'Nuwa' alliance.

Even for the better development of the system, countless people are required to participate.

Where do these people come from?

The answer is obvious: schools.

As for the specific question raised by Lei Jun, the answer is more obvious.

So, is Fang Nian purely for a great ideal?

Fang Nian's answer is simple: yes and no.

Although Lei Jun smiled and shut up, Fang Nian answered the question honestly.

"Of course an idealist wants to be one. In the process of realizing the ideal, if there are trivial benefits that can be easily obtained, I don't mind taking it away."

Hearing this, Lei Jun sighed with emotion: "No wonder President Huang said that listening to you is better than reading ten years of books!"

"Mr. Fang's excellence makes me want to study philosophy now."

Fang Nian waved his hand: "Boss Lei, if you weren't the same age as my father, I would have given you a few words!"

Lei Jun: "!!!"

He suddenly didn't want to stay any longer!

There are such people in this world? !

This is the post-90s generation? !

Today's post-90s generation don't use knives to kill people anymore, right? !

At this moment, at least millions of thoughts popped up in Lei Jun's mind, one of which was whether to throw a cup as a sign!

No matter how bad it is, it’s okay to never communicate with each other!

Listen, is this a human language? !

Do you have any respect for your elders? !

"Mr. Fang...you can introduce me to your father if you have a chance." Lei Jun said almost holding his nose.

Seeing this, Fang Nian burst out laughing.

This is what he wants.

There is one thing to say, if you look at it in 2021, Lei Jun is really crazy about cheating.

The reason why Fang Nian is so powerful now is all related to his relationship with Lei Jun.

It's still 2010!

Fang Nian really admires Lei Jun's ability in business operations, and he even learned a lot of ideas from Lei Jun.

But Lei Jun is good everywhere, but he likes to brag too much!

It's very tail-wagging!

…………

After being unable to chat for a while, the two left the hotel together.

Afterwards, Fang Nian hesitated for a while, and said, "Mr. Lei, if you don't mind, then go to Nange to talk."
