Rebirth, I want to be a prince

Hou Hengzhi explained a lot, but Shi Lei easily understood, this is really similar to some soft wells he used in that life.At that time, the use of the Internet on mobile phones was very common, and various social jo software and websites came into being, especially after the special and lebook became extremely popular.

Many application software, including Weibo, have been released. The function of "searching around" can find other users within a certain distance from the user, which is convenient for offline chats. It is actually convenient for chatting.

Gadgets with this kind of function will be commonplace ten years later, but in the middle of 2, when BBS is still popular, it is indeed very ingenious.However, this function seems to be quite a bit when the network function is not perfect enough.

Many failed products are not the failure of the product, but because the product is too ahead of the times.For Shi Lei, the ideas of these two British college students belonged to the previous excessive type, because the imperfect parts of this product can be improved through continuous research, but it will be restricted by the general environment, and the function is too large. Single, obviously must be a failed product.

Since Shi Lei founded Stone Group, until now, he has always emphasized a conscious pre-thinking. He often said the same sentence to the people around him, that is, after the Internet era is fully opened, the way of thinking determines the company's future. Survival value, failure is not terrible, following the trend is the beginning of the demise of the enterprise.

This argument obviously affected the core personnel of the Stone Group, and Hou Hengzhi was one of the people who were heavily affected. It was because of this that he was able to see Shi Lei from these two British college students who had been rejected several times. In fact, the need for innovative awareness may be more important because of their active and bold thinking.

, "Where are those two people? I want to meet them." Shi Lei said to Hou Hengzhi.

Hou Hengzhi hurriedly said: "I should still be looking for possible investment here. I left their phone number, but, Young Master Shi, we have collectively researched their products, and they basically don't have investment value. I'm just comparing their thinking patterns." Appreciate it, if they can join our product design department, they should be able to bring us a lot of new motivation."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I understand this, this thing is a weak point, and it cannot be further studied. You bring those two people over, and I will talk to them."

Hou Hengzhi felt relieved, took out his phone and called the two British college students.

With a few simple words, the two college students quickly appeared in front of Stone Group's booth. One was nearly 1.9 meters tall, thin and tall, with brown curls and blue eyes, and the other was about 1.7 meters tall with a short head. Very energetic, relatively strong body.When seeing these two people, Shi Lei was a little taken aback, because their appearance reminded him of a combination of Sherlock Holmes and Watson in a novel.

"The tall one is called Pamela, and the short one is called Woking. They are both students of Imperial College London." Hou Hengzhi introduced to Shi Lei, and then said to Pamela and Woking: "This It's our boss, Shi."

bu, for Chinese people, it is the boss, but for people from English-speaking countries, the boss is naturally the boss, the superior is also the boss, and even the school’s tutor is also the boss. In short, anyone who can give you work is the boss Boss, so after Pamela and Woking heard that Shi Lei was the boss, their answers were a bit strange.

, "So this is the chief engineer of your group? You are so young, not as old as us." Wojin opened the car first. .

Shi Lei smiled, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with the two of them. At first he didn't want to explain, but Pamela said hesitantly: "We have demonstrated the product in detail just now, I think if you have investment Let’s talk about our intentions, otherwise we want to try our luck and look for other investment possibilities.”

Pamela's meaning is very simple, if Shi Lei is the chief engineer, basically he has no right to intervene in investment negotiations, it needs the manager of the investment department to decide, even if the chief engineer is at the level of the president of the group.There may not be too many people in China who have such awareness,

In fact, most companies do not have a clear division of labor in this regard, but the British, who are known for their rigidity, quite mind this.Thinking that Shi Lei has no right to invest, Pamela and Wojin are obviously very disappointed. .

As a last resort, Shi Lei could only explain, "He didn't introduce clearly enough just now. This is also the semantic difference between our Chinese and your English. My boss actually refers to the identity of the chairman of the group and the largest shareholder. .”

, "What? You are the chairman?" Pamela and Walking opened their mouths wide, but they didn't feel envious, jealous, and timid like their peers in China. They just looked at Shi Lei in disbelief. , Looking up and down, but it can be regarded as quickly accepting the reality.After all, in this era, the era of the Internet, most people in their twenties or even teens have hundreds of millions or even billions of fortunes. At least around 2, such industry myths still emerged endlessly.

, "I don't need to explain much about this. If there is really a possibility of cooperation, then you will have a comprehensive understanding of the situation of our stone group. But you should also have a general understanding of our group. We are not a company, but equipment and provide communication network solutions as the main business, so don’t think that our company is the kind of company that rises from the ground overnight and relies on a huge amount of venture capital to survive. I’m telling you this because it is related to Our next conversation."

Wo Jin looked at Pamela, both of them seemed to understand the meaning of Shi Lei's words.

Jo changed his eyes, and finally Zhimei pulled away. :, "Mr. Shi, you mean that you don't want to invest in our products, but want to cooperate in other ways?"

Shi Lei smiled and nodded: "Frankly speaking, your products are full of creativity, but lack the necessary market prospects. I think you have already experienced this. It is not the first day you are looking for investment targets. I am afraid the result is very bad. Almost All companies will flatly refuse to invest in you?"

Pamela shook her head: "It's not difficult to come to this conclusion. Since we can still come to you with products, naturally no one is willing to invest in us, so if you want to use this to make us give up the idea of ​​​​seeking other investors , I am afraid it is impossible. Moreover, if you have enough knowledge of the future market, you will know that our product still has a very broad market prospect, but it will take time." Pamela said this There was a little jerk when talking.

Shi Lei smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, we can sit down and talk, anyway, you don't lack this time, right?"

Pamela and Wojin looked at each other again, Nai shrugged his shoulders, and sat on the chair that Hou Hengzhi had brought for them.

, "Mr. Shi, why don't we show you our product again..." As she spoke, Pamela wanted to take out the prototype from her pocket.

Shi Lei reached out his hand to stop him: "No need, he has already explained to me just now, I think I also understand the function of your product."

, "But the effect of the demonstration will be completely different, and we can explain to you our judgment on the future market." Pamela became more and more anxious.

, "Throw away your market research and business plan, it doesn't do anything to me. This is a social product, with the ability to receive and actively search, borrow the natural cellular networks around the world, but it doesn't take up traffic , Did I make a mistake in judging the basic principle of your product?"

Wo Jin twitched his lips, and seemed to think that Shi Lei's summary was quite accurate.

, "The reason why I don't need to explain is because I fully understand your design intentions and your judgment on the future market.

The advent of the Internet age will inevitably lead to more people completing their work without leaving home, and even most of all life activities in the future can be realized through the Internet. In this case, individuals will lose their original social circle, so they need such a tool to help them find friends.And your product can save people who don't know each other the process of introducing each other, and because of the search range, they can also see the [real] existence of that person, so as to actively socialize.From this point of view, I agree with you, the market prospect is indeed quite ideal. "Obviously, Shi Lei's words aroused strong sympathy between Pamela and Woking, and both of them looked happy.

, "However, I still won't give you any investment in this product, because it is almost impossible for this product to have the possibility of interaction, unless it is simply like a mobile phone, which can receive information and realize the interaction of jo flow. But in this way, We might as well just design such a software for mobile phones instead of using a separate product. I know you must have many additional ideas, which will make your product more full and complete, making it seem to have enough However, I must tell you that mobile phones are getting smaller and smaller, and so are computers, and the network is getting faster and faster. In the future, mobile phones will have all the functions of the Internet just like computers. Even if someone invests in you now, Your product is only a transitional product, just like you "Pamela, the m you use will inevitably be replaced by a lighter and more convenient mp3 player. In less than two years, those companies that have opened m You will find that they have designed a rib. "

Shi Lei's merciless blow made Pamela and Woking's faces turn pale. They seemed to have finally realized the most fatal flaw in their proud product. .
