my return to life

"Everyone, hurry up and check Weibo! Mi Chat officially landed on Android and Apple platforms at [-]:[-] p.m., and at the same time launched a million-dollar bonus campaign to collect new names!"

"..."

Good guy, before the limelight of Nuwa Lab is over, Mi Chat has come out to join in the fun again, this is not giving others a chance at all!

Fang Nian was not surprised that Lei Jun had such a quick reaction.

In addition, I was afraid that there would be no sound when Michat landed on the other two major operating system platforms, so I simply adopted Fang Nian's proposal, and at the same time used the 'million bonus' as a gimmick to solicit new names for the software.

Knowing that Lei Jun can play so well, Fang Nian feels quite relieved.

It's better than Meizu's Huang Xiujie.

The name Mi Chat may indeed be detrimental to promotion after it grows, but it is not necessarily detrimental.

Although Fang Nian withdrew from the mainstream stage in his life.

But the reasons are diverse, not just because of the strong millet gene.

There were discussions in the classroom.

"What's the specific situation? Tell me quickly?"

"It's the official statement of Mi Talk that in order to better follow the open spirit of the Internet, we specially solicit a new and more open software name for promotion, focusing on simplicity and catchy."

"It's so simple? How do you participate and how do you judge the award?"

"The easiest way is to participate directly in the associated MIUI forum through Michat software, or to participate in the MIUI forum through a browser;

The name with the most support votes will be officially adopted by Mi Chat, and all forms of swiping votes are strictly prohibited. At the same time, the proposer will receive a cash reward of 100 million, and other participants will also receive certain encouragement.

The deadline is November 11. "

"One million for a name? This is easier than collecting logos for the Olympics!"

"Michao is really rich!"

"If anyone can sign up, I want to try it too."

"..."

Soliciting brand names, brand logos, brand designs, etc., the proposals are similar.

Anyway, it's nothing more than submitting your own ideas and you're done.

Mi Chat's plan is not complicated. For example, if many people submit the same name, it will be counted as the vote for the first submission.

In the end, if the name gets the most votes, Mi Chat will also give a sense of participation.

But it won't be any cash rewards or anything, it's permissions such as internal test early adopter qualifications and so on.

Anyway...

Whoever takes the lead is the best, there is no absolute fairness at all.

Fang Nian admired Lei Jun's decision-making efficiency.

After weighing the pros and cons for one night and half a day, he finally chose to adopt Fang Nian's proposal.

What it ends up being called doesn't matter.

The important thing is that this name is recognized by the most people and is the most open.

More importantly, the bonus of 100 million is only, and the advertising effect is comparable to tens of millions.

And not only to promote Mi Chat, by participating in the MIUI forum, MIUI and the forum are also promoted by the way.

In short, before the Xiaomi mobile phone comes out, all the software under Xiaomi can benefit from it.

It will gather more experience users and enthusiasts for MIUI, bring greater activity to the MIUI forum, and promote Michat on the Android and iOS platforms as quickly as possible.

At least it is foreseeable that the corresponding strong attention in public cyberspace will continue until November 11.

These……

Just spend 100 million, and you have it all.

I have to say, the handling was really thoughtful, and the timing was better at this point, one week, so it wouldn't cause too much hostility.

Lei Jun is awesome.

"..."

Taking advantage of the time after class, Fang Nian also went to the MIUI forum to have a look.

The page for collecting names is very eye-catching, and you can see it as soon as you enter the forum. The number of replies has exceeded 50.

Countless names entered the candidate ballot.

There are English naming methods similar to QQ, such as line, inline, yiyi, erer, SS.

There are also names like Michat, Weibo, Fetion, SMS, and MMS.

Such as micro chat, short chat, color chat, WeChat, SMS, simple chat, colorful chat, mutual chat, and chat.

Even Fang Nian feels...

Mr. Lei played a bit too big this time.

The main thing is to start Michat on the Nuwa system first, so that users who have experienced it feel that it is not bad, and have a certain user base.

Secondly, the software function is very good.

Then to promote the opportunity to Android and iOS, we will hold a name-calling event.

It is foreseeable that all the names that are related to social networking and chatting in China from now to the future may be ten or twenty years old.

You know this is 100 million.

I flipped through the list of candidate names casually, and looked at the tens of thousands of comments that had been added in a while.

Fang Nian specially sent a message to Lei Jun through Michat: "Boss Lei is awesome!"

Lei Jun quickly replied: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Fang is still looking ahead, and I will come to the door another day to thank you."

"Remember to bring a gift." Fang Nian's reply was very shameless.

Lei Jun: "That is necessary."

Fang Nian: "So if you really want to compete in the mall, I'm not your opponent at all."

Lei Jun: "?"

Fang Nian: "Even if Goose Factory wants to launch similar software immediately, it has to wait for the limelight of Mi Talk to pass. Otherwise, whichever name it uses will cause a lot of disputes, and even if it launches similar software later, it will be directly overwhelmed."

Lei Jun: "Didn't President Fang teach me this?"

Fang Nian: "Boss Lei, your heart is broken!"

"..."

Fang Nian didn't teach Lei Jun to play like this.

He is not so bad.

He will not use such means.

because……

He doesn't know how to make social software, he's not tired enough!

All in all, all in all, as far as the moment is concerned, this wave of Xiaomi is too comfortable.

and……

Fang Nian himself expects that the name with the highest number of votes will be WeChat.

Because it could be tantamount to...

Stolen the luck that originally belonged to the goose factory?

As for the Jiaoer Goose Factory, does it have anything to do with Fang Nian? He is not the owner of Xiaomi.

And now who knows that your goose factory is going to engage in WeChat behind the scenes?

"..."

…………

…………

When Fang Nian walked into the front office again, everyone was there.

Guan Qiuhe came back after finishing his inspection work.

Lu Weiyu went to Zhangjiang Frontier Innovation in the afternoon and came back.

Liu Xi also finished today's class and came to the company.

Wen Ye, Gu Yu, and Wu Fucheng are all busy sorting out various materials and preparing for the next affairs that need to be dealt with.

If you go a few months earlier, such a neat scene is rare in the frontier.

Chatted a few words about Michao.

Everyone at the frontier can see the essence through the phenomenon, and they all think that in this environment, Xiaomi's operation is simple.

Everyone even thought it was Fang Nian's instigation.

Fang Nian said that everyone underestimated Lei Jun, and also revealed the reasons behind the scenes.

"Don't think too much, Xiaomi is launching the same software in the preparatory goose factory."

"..."

It's just that Fang Nian didn't expect it. After saying this, everyone believed that Fang Nian was manipulating all this.

"Yes, it's true, you persuaded Ma Poli to open up with one hand, and persuaded Lei Jun with the other, tsk..."

"..."

After chatting for a few words, Lu Weiyu also brought up the business.

She brought the news that Fang Nian wanted to hear.

It took almost a month for the team of professors at the Baize Chip Lab to sort out the technical difficulties and patents needed to design a high-end smartphone chip from scratch.

After receiving the files that had been sorted out, Fang Nian sighed, "It's finally one day earlier than the scheduled Friday before leaving get off work."

While opening the document, Fang Nian said, "It's been a month since I and Sun Shu proposed to build a high-end mobile smart chip design institute in Luzhou;

If it weren't for renting a large office space and starting the preparatory preparations for the construction of the office building, Sun Shu would have thought that I would not be able to do things well because of my lack of talk. "

Lu Weiyu sighed: "I didn't expect the professors' team to take such a long time to organize. It's hard to embarrass Wen Mi and Liu Xi's previous classes."

"..."

It's not Lu Weiyu's fault.

Neither Dangkang nor the frontier department has the evaluation level in this regard.

The chip thing is a technical job.

It's just that Wen Ye and the others were in a hurry.

After rushing back to Shencheng from Luzhou overnight on the 10th of last month, Fang Nian arranged the affairs the next day.

At that time, Wen Ye and Liu Xi, including Gu Yu, were in a hurry and worked overtime to make a new plan, but they were stranded in the end.

The financial problem was not the main reason at that time.

Although Fang Nian said it was a tens of billions project, but he would not treat anyone as a fool, the plan belongs to the plan, and there must be some available information.

Otherwise, how to persuade the Luzhou region headed by Sun Shu?

Later, because there was no report, Fang Nian discussed with everyone, and then asked Lu Weiyu to go to Luzhou to implement the office space of Bai Ze Laboratory and other preliminary work.

At least there is a solid framework, so it can be delayed for a while.

Later, after Li Robin contacted him, Fang Nian quickly adjusted the plan, and asked Frontier Innovation to talk about buying land to build a R&D center in the West Lake area of ​​Shu.

The price of 30 mu of R&D industrial land is 20 per mu, and the first payment is 1800%, which is [-] million.

The cutting edge was still available at that time, let alone now.

So now the R&D center is under construction following the frontier institute of the University of Science and Technology of China.

Ok……
