my return 2002

Chapter 325 Ready to go (Ask for a monthly pass!)
Pengcheng, BYD Electronics.

"Oh, Mr. Shen should have informed you before he came, so I can pick you up at the airport." Wang Chuanfu enthusiastically held Shen Lang's hand and shook it vigorously.

Foxconn's lawsuit caused BYD Electronics' IPO in the Hong Kong stock market to be a mess, and the market value fell by nearly half on the first day. The capital market is not optimistic about the prospects of BYD Electronics.

Coupled with Foxconn's price reduction competition, Wang Chuanfu was very troubled. At this time, Shen Lang handed over Xiaomi's first batch of 20 units to BYD Electronics, which was undoubtedly a timely help.

Shen Lang said with a smile: "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite, let's go in."

Putting on the dust-proof clothes and entering the production line, Shen Lang saw Lei Jun also wearing dust-proof clothes standing nervously in front of the placement machine, checking the craftsmanship of each process from time to time.

It wasn't until Lei Jun saw Shen Lang and Wang Chuanfu coming that he greeted them.

"Why are you here?" Lei Jun was a little surprised to see Shen Lang.

Shen Lang and Wang Chuanfu looked at each other with a smile, and patted Lei Jun's arm: "Today is a big day for the mass production of Mi 1, of course I have to come and see it."

In fact, the design work of Mi 1 was completed as early as last month. The reason why there has been no formal mass production is that it is waiting for the chips of Godson 3. Last week, SMIC finally completed the delivery of the first batch of chips. , a total of 100 chips, and the follow-up [-] million chips are still working overtime.

The main reason is that not long after SMIC broke through the 45nm process, its production capacity is limited. However, with Shen Lang's order of 100 million chips, SMIC has decided to add a new production line to increase production capacity, and the supply of chips will not be so tight by then.

Lei Jun smiled honestly, making a mobile phone is a brand new field for him, if it wasn't for Shen Lang's encouragement, he would never have thought of making a mobile phone at all.

In the beginning, Lei Jun only regarded making mobile phones as a task entrusted to him by Shen Lang, but with the establishment of Xiaomi, he gradually gained a deeper understanding of the mobile phone industry, and his interest in making mobile phones became more and more intense. Now he I have really taken Xiaomi as my own business.

Although mobile phone manufacturing seems simple, the process required is actually not simple. Just the components on a motherboard need to go through procedures such as PCB board screening, solder paste, patch, reflow oven, etc. A mobile phone from production to The final test link needs to go through hundreds of procedures.

Wang Chuanfu personally explained to Shen Lang as he walked.

Shen Lang joked: "It is said that BYD is good at reverse innovation, and seeing it today really deserves its reputation."

Compared with Foxconn's large number of automated equipment, BYD's assembly line is much simpler, and many positions require manual intervention.

Wang Chuanfu smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Mr. Shen, don't laugh at me. I also want to build automation equipment, but it is expensive. A fully automatic production line costs tens of millions. How can the company have so much money to expand production capacity."

Speaking of which, Wang Chuanfu changed the subject again: "However, Mr. Shen and Mr. Lei can rest assured that BYD has strict QC quality inspection procedures, and every process is strictly controlled, otherwise we would not be able to get orders from Motorola and Nokia. "

Shen Lang looked at many workers in yellow dustproof suits on the assembly line and nodded. He was not worried about BYD's quality control.

After visiting the assembly line, Shen Lang and Lei Jun came to Wang Chuanfu's office.

Wang Chuanfu made tea himself and poured it for the two.

Shen Lang suddenly saw a car model on Wang Chuanfu's desk, and started to play with it curiously.

"Mr. Wang, this is the new BYD F6 that you will launch next year, right?"

Wang Chuanfu smiled: "Mr. Shen has a good eye. If Mr. Shen is interested, I will give Mr. Shen one when the new car is on the market."

Shen Lang joked: "Mr. Wang, with all due respect, the appearance of your car is a bit too similar to the Accord."

Wang Chuanfu said helplessly: "Oh, to tell you the truth, Mr. Shen, we have tried to make a self-developed appearance before, but it is really too ugly. In terms of cars, we are indeed far behind foreign manufacturers."

Shen Lang nodded. The foreign auto industry has been the first to develop for more than 100 years, not only in terms of industry, but also in business aesthetics. It is estimated that many domestic auto manufacturers would not have imagined that we will be in this field after more than ten years. Go to the forefront of the world.

Wang Chuanfu's heart suddenly moved: "Mr. Shen, it's not a whim to bring this up all of a sudden, right? We're all a family, so just speak up if you have anything to say."

Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as expected of a boss, his sense of smell is really keen, so Shen Lang didn't hide it anymore.

"Mr. Wang, BYD's models have no advantages over foreign-funded cars from the three major parts to the appearance. If they want to win the market, they have to find new highlights."

Wang Chuanfu understood Shen Lang's meaning as soon as he heard it: "Haha, after a long time of trouble, Mr. Shen is promoting the star system."

Shen Lang nodded with a smile, then shook his head and said: "Not only the star system, but also the Godson car chip, we are already developing it."

Wang Chuanfu frowned when he heard this. Although the current car chip is mainly responsible for multimedia, it is a part of the car after all. A car is different from a mobile phone. If a mobile phone breaks down, it will not work at most, but once the car breaks down, it will be A terrible thing.

"Mr. Shen, I'm afraid I can't agree to you for the time being."

Shen Lang waved his hand: "Mr. Wang, don't rush to give me an answer. We can test it after the chip is manufactured. If the test results don't meet Mr. Wang's needs, just pretend I didn't mention it."

Seeing Shen Lang's confident look, Wang Chuanfu didn't say anything else. If the performance and stability of the Loongson car chip were really good enough, he would be happy to choose a domestic chip.

Two days later, the official mass-produced model of Mi 1 was finally released.

Lei Jun smiled like a 100-pound idiot, Shen Lang patted him on the shoulder: "How are you preparing for the press conference? Don't come to your place to stretch your hips."

The smile on Lei Jun's face suddenly collapsed: "Well, how about another host to speak on stage? You also know that my eloquence is really average, and my Mandarin is not standard."

Shen Lang said with a serious face: "Do you still remember how you slapped me on the table? You said that as the founder of the company, it represents the core competitiveness of the company. Who will you not be on?"

Lei Jun was at a loss for words for a while, and smiled bitterly: "Aren't you trying to drive ducks to the shelves?"

"People, they are all forced out, maybe one day you will be able to hold a press conference in English." Shen Lang joked.

Lei Jun protested: "You don't slap people in the face when you hit someone, and you don't bring such personal attacks!"

Poor English has always been Lei Jun's weakness, which once made him feel very unconfident. The Internet giants who were at the same time as him either had overseas study experience, or they were English teachers like Jack Ma, and it seemed that he was the worst in English.

After leaving Pengcheng, Shen Lang came to Zhujiang. At the same time, Meizu M7 was also in mass production.

"Mr. Shen, welcome to guide me." On the surface, Sassafras looked eager, but his tone was alienated.

The reason is also very simple. Lei Jun has always been Shen Lang's right-hand man, and now he has a Xiaomi mobile phone, which is obviously to compete with Meizu. One is his own son and the other is a godson. Huang Zhang does not believe that Shen Lang really knows how to serve a bowl of water flat.

Shen Lang secretly sneered, Huang Zhang is actively seeking third-party capital recently, saying that it is to expand the production line, but in fact he wants to combine third-party capital to dilute his shares. The reason why there is no financing is nothing more than waiting for the Meizu M7 to sell well After that, you can ask for a good price.

However, in fact, Sassafras does not understand that once the Meizu M7 is sold well, Shen Lang, who holds the chip + star system in his hand, will have absolute control, because Meizu cannot lose the star system on which it depends, but can lose it. A dispensable founder, the capital will eventually choose the party that can make them profitable.

But on the surface, Shen Lang and Shuang Zhang still seem to be having a good conversation. When Shen Lang asked about the launch time of Meizu M7, Huang Zhang asked intentionally or unintentionally. The release time of Mi 1 was the best. The two sides can stagger for a period of time.

Shen Lang smiled playfully at Sassafras: "There is no need to stagger the time, even if you hold the press conference on the same day, it will not have any impact. At present, the domestic smartphone market is still a blue ocean, and the demand must far exceed the supply. Your current competitors are Nokia and Samsung, not each other."

Sassafras echoed embarrassingly. Indeed, the structure of the domestic mobile phone market has basically been fixed at this time. Domestic mobile phones are still focused on fighting for low-end feature phones. The mid-to-high-end market is basically occupied by Nokia and Samsung. Motoroia is now exhausted. Obviously, the only one that can take a share of Nokia and Samsung is Sony, but the market share is not much.

Shen Lang took over the brand-new Meizu M7 from Huang Zhang. Compared with the previous generation Meizu M6, Shen Lang paid little attention to this new model. With the successful experience of Meizu M6, if Huang If Zhang can't make an aesthetic online mobile phone, it's too unreasonable.

When I took it upside down in my hand, it felt a little heavy to Shen Lang. Compared with the previous generation of Meizu M6, M7 is thicker, mainly to solve the problem of battery life. What many consumers complain about is that the battery capacity of 6 mAh will run out of power in two and a half hours for heavy users.

Therefore, this generation of Meizu M7 uses a 1400 mAh battery, plus the need to install a baseband module, which is thicker and heavier than the Meizu M6 as a whole. It also uses a 5-inch screen, but this time, it has been upgraded to a touch screen.

In terms of design, Meizu M7 is somewhat similar to Apple 4, only one physical button and two volumes are reserved, and the rest of the physical buttons are all handed over to the virtual buttons of the star system.

Of course, to accomplish this, mature multi-touch technology is required. This is not just for adjusting the screen, but more for the sensitivity of the operating system for postgraduate entrance examinations. This once tortured He Xiaopeng to the point of death.

It was not until September that He Xiaopeng's team gradually solved the problems of the star system's response speed to touch points and false touch judgment.

It still inherits the startup animation of Meizu M6. After the system is turned on, it jumps to the desktop. The icons on the desktop are basically 360 series and YY series applications.

Shen Lang casually clicked on YY Music, the response speed is naturally not comparable to that of later generations of smart phones, but compared to Nokia's Symbian system, the response speed is already much faster.

"How many windows have I wandered in, how many hotels have I stayed in"

The sound quality of the external speaker can only be regarded as mediocre, but at this time users are not strict with the external music effect of the mobile phone, and basically stay at the stage of listening to the sound. The performance of the Meizu M7 is quite satisfactory.

Shen Lang lightly pressed the physical button at the bottom of the phone, and the exit menu appeared. Swipe up again, and YY Music was transferred to the background. The song was still playing, and the interface had retreated to the desktop. Press the physical button again. Press the button, click a small icon of a trash can at the bottom of the menu, the music stops abruptly, and YY music is also forcibly closed.

The overall experience for Shen Lang was not bad, and it even gave Shen Lang a feeling of returning to the era of smart phones.

Shen Lang tried the basic functions of calling and sending text messages again, and the effect was not bad. The communication module was purchased from Huawei. Although the price is a little more expensive, Meizu M7 and Mi 1 are positioned in the high-end market. The cost is not bad. After all, as a mobile phone, the communication function is the most fundamental. If other functions are too fancy, the communication function will make the product useless.

"How are you talking with the mobile operator about the traffic charges?" Shen Lang asked.

The biggest difference between Meizu M7 and M6 is the network card. M6 is positioned as a handheld computer with a network card interface reserved, but Meizu M7 does not have a network card interface reserved.

According to the expensive traffic charges at this time, ordinary people simply cannot afford to use data to surf the Internet, and the main selling point of Meizu M7 lies in its powerful Internet access function.

Huang Zhang explained with a smile: "I have already negotiated with China Unicom and China Telecom. There will be two special SIM cards. The monthly rent is 69, and the monthly data plan is 10G, and the monthly rent is 99, and the monthly data plan is 20G. .”

The last time we cooperated with Meizu, China Unicom made a lot of money. This time, China Telecom took the initiative to seek cooperation. With China Telecom as a competitor, China Unicom also took the initiative to lower the tariff. The only company that did not move was China Mobile.

But it's normal. China Mobile's current Monternet will bring them huge profits every year. If a similar SIM card package is launched, the revenue will definitely be affected, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Shen Lang nodded and said to Huang Zhang: "Well, hurry up about the press conference, and I won't get involved."

Huang Zhang said against his will: "Mr. Shen won't come, I have no idea."

"Come on, I'm leaving first."

After leaving Meizu, Shen Lang became more determined to kick Sassafras out of the game, but the premise was that there would be no major turmoil in Meizu.

Shen Lang thought of one person, Bai Yongxiang. In fact, even if Shen Lang didn't mention Sassafras being out of the game, if the original track develops in 2011, Sassafras will fade out of Meizu's management system, and he will succeed him and lead Meizu to develop rapidly. It was Bai Yongxiang.

Of course, at this time, it is not the time to contact Bai Yongxiang. We must wait until Meizu's third round of financing is over, and Shen Lang has absolute control over Meizu before the showdown can take place.
