Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 587 Night and Wine
As Double Eleven approaches, major mobile phone manufacturers have joined the gradually emerging annual online shopping carnival.

Ideal mobile phone is no exception.

Unlike other competitors, which have sufficient supply, Ideal smartphones had great publicity before Double Eleven, but the supply was not sufficient. The online store was supplied with a total of 250,000 units on Double Eleven, while all offline stores were supplied with less than 100,000 units. In fact, the supply of Ideal smartphones was not small, but the sales volume was relatively large.

After nearly two months of limited sales, the Ideal smartphone brand has been well established, completely getting rid of the "semi-copycat" image when Ideal only made traditional mobile phones. Users now think that it is reasonable for the Ideal 1 to be sold at 2599.

According to the number of reservations for Ideal smartphones, more than 300,000 units will be sold out in one day on Double Eleven. The technical verification of Ideal smartphones has been completed, the brand has been established, and the after-sales service system has been completed. Zhou Jing began to make the next plan and decided to gradually increase production capacity after Double Eleven. In November and December, he plans to increase the sales target from about 1.7 million units in September and October to about 2 million units.

An increase of 300,000 units in monthly production capacity is not a small number. Among the many domestic brands, except Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE and Ideal, other brands may only sell about 300,000 units in total per month.

After thinking over and over again about the smartphone series planning, Zhou Jing sent a message to Bai Guimi: [First stop the planning of Xingyue series models, and next year we will acquire a bankrupt brand as our independent sub-brand]

[This route is good, but is the name Xingyue still useful?]

Bai Xiyao's mind was instantly opened. It would be a bit troublesome for Ideal Smartphone to establish an independent mid-to-high-end sub-brand that is different from the Ideal series and P series. In order to better meet the needs of the overseas market, the independent sub-brand needs to make more changes based on the parent brand. Acquiring a company as a sub-brand can avoid a lot of trouble.

There are many domestic mobile phone brands at present, and more than one will go bankrupt in the next few years.

Zhou Jing: [When the time comes, the design of the Xingyue series will mainly match the European and American aesthetics]

Bai Xiyao: [OK]

"Here, it's cold now so you don't want green tea, right? Would you like black tea or coffee?"

Gu Jia prepared some nuts for Zhou Jing, including macadamia nuts, almonds, and walnuts.

"Black tea!"

Zhou Jing said while eating nuts.

Gu Jia got up, opened the grocery cabinet, took out some black tea and made a cup for the boy. She put the green tea in her bag, planning to take it home after get off work to make tea eggs and buy new tea next summer.

"Boss, please have some tea."

After making the tea, Gu Jia handed it to the boy with a smile.

"It's getting better and better."

Zhou Jing hooked Teacher Gu's thigh and squeezed it.

"How would you rate my secretary?"

Gu Jia pinched the boy's chin and said.

"Nine points."

"Why deduct one point? Are you afraid that I will become proud?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"You're not slutty."

Zhou Jing said in a very annoying way.

Gu Jia raised one leg and put it on the boy's leg, pinched the boy's neck with both hands and said, "Do you like flirty ones?"

"I like to be a little bit flirty."

Zhou Jing put his hands on Gu Jia's waist.

Gu Jia bit her lip, leaned close to Zhou Jing's face and said with a half-smile, "Is this okay?"

"That's what it feels like."

Zhou Jing sucked on Gu Jia's arm and held her in his arms.

Gu Jia picked up a macadamia nut with two fingers, bit it with her lips and fed it to the boy. Zhou Jing ate the macadamia nut and kissed Gu Jia. He smiled and said, "How long has it been since I bought you lipstick?"

"It's been more than half a year now. You sent me off once when Zhou Zhou was one month old, but you never sent me off again."

Gu Jia chuckled and sighed.

"I remember it so clearly. Your lips are rosy even without lipstick. Would you like to try a different shade?"

Zhou Jing searches for lipstick shades on the computer.

Gu Jia clicked on Dior and pointed at a maple leaf red one and said with a smile: "How about this one?"

“I’ll buy one this weekend and try it.”

After looking at the lipsticks, Zhou Jing looked at the bags. He had only bought two bags for Teacher Gu this year. The shelves in the villa's cloakroom for bags and shoes were empty. He should add some more items for Teacher Gu.

"Does this look good?"

Gu Jia pointed at a white shoulder bag and said.

"It looks nice. A white bag is too bright in winter, but it should be nice to use a white bag on a snowy day. Buy a red one and carry it home to look festive."

Zhou Jing plans to give Gu Jia more bags in the future, and match the bags for Gu Jia according to different occasions, weather and seasons, and clothes of different colors.

"You know more than most girls, tell me how to match bags?"

Gu Jia had never thought about what bag was suitable for what season and weather.

"The right combination should be in harmony with the environment."

Zhou Jing also learned this from a girl in his previous life. In his previous life, there was a girl who would buy bags for Zhou Jing and pay for them every few days.

"Makes sense."

Gu Jia smiled and nodded.

After resting for a while, Gu Jia returned to her seat to handle work. She sorted out the October financial report for Zhou Jing to review. Zhou Jing only looked at the monthly financial report of Ideal Technology. Ideal Technology was the source of the majority of revenue, and other companies could not even reach a fraction of Ideal Technology's.

In October, Ideal Technology's revenue hit a new high, exceeding 24 billion yuan and its net profit exceeded 8 billion yuan. Ideal's traditional mobile phones were the focus, and Zhou Jing's starting with traditional mobile phones was the key to its success.

"There are 30 billion yuan of idle funds. Should we reduce the debt ratio?"

Gu Jia looked at the latest assets and liabilities of Ideal Technology and said.

"unnecessary."

Zhou Jing shook his head. Ideal Technology's current debt ratio is less than 40%, and most of the debts are interest-free. There is no need to reduce the debt ratio. That little debt is insignificant compared to the company's profits.

"Some companies have debt ratios as high as 80 to 90 percent. Are these companies dangerous?"

Gu Jia is only the financial director in name only. He usually just checks financial information for Zhou Jing and doesn't know much about Kung Fu debt and leverage.

"Looking at the actual situation of the company, it's okay for the debt ratio to exceed 100% if our product sales are so good."

After Zhou Jing read Ideal Technology's financial report for October, he sent a message to his bestie Bai, asking her to make preparations for the construction of the Tangdu R&D base this year and start construction after the New Year next year.

"Mr. Zhou, the semiconductor department's lithography machine has arrived."

Li Jianwei, director of the R&D department, reports to Zhou Jing.

"Submit it directly to the research institute and ask them to prepare a research plan and dismantling plan as soon as possible."

Zhou Jing specially ordered two lithography machines for Chuangzhi Technology Headquarters, both of which are DUV, for disassembly and research by Chuangzhi Technology Lithography Technology Research Institute. At present, ASML's EUV lithography machine has not yet completed research and development.

"it is good."

Li Jianwei admired his boss's courage very much. He bought and dismantled equipment worth nearly 200 million yuan at will.

The lithography machine technology research institute under the headquarters of Chuangzhi Technology is not located in the office building, but rented a bankrupt precision instrument company opposite the office building. After the price is negotiated, Zhou Jing will buy this precision instrument company.

Including Taiwei Semiconductor's seven lithography machines, Zhou Jing already has nine lithography machines. He has invested a lot of money in researching lithography machines. There are lithography machine technical engineers in the research team, and the disassembly work is done by the lithography machine technical engineers. The two machines were purchased by Chuangzhi Technology Research Institute in the name of Taiwei Semiconductor.

It was almost time to get off work, so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the research institute opposite the office building to take a look. The lithography machine was wrapped tightly.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the list of equipment that has arrived at the research institute."

The deputy director of the institute handed Zhou Jing a list of recently purchased equipment and instruments.

Zhou Jing glanced at them and said, "Just go ahead and do your research. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Research is a process of trial and error."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

"." After leaving the research institute, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went home. After dinner, they spent some time with the children. Zhou Jing turned on the computer in the study and played a few games of Call of Kings. Call of Kings has been online for more than a month. The game's strong Chinese style quickly became popular in the gaming industry. At its peak, the number of players exceeded two million, making it the second largest online game after LOL, CF, Speed ​​​​Car and dnf.

After the game was launched, it has undergone several small updates and one major update, and the game content update has been basically completed. The skins of the initial heroes have been put on the shelves one after another. Players who register during the game launch event can choose one set of epic skins and two sets of ordinary skins. In addition, all heroes and skins in the store are 50% off during the event.

The early skins of the King's Summoner were reviewed by Zhou Jing himself. The modeling is very powerful, especially the female heroes. The Valkyrie's battle-damaged skin is very popular among players.

After playing a few games, Zhou Jing started to work.

"I'm taking a bath tonight, do you want to join me?"

Gu Jia said with a smile while holding the child at the door of the study.

"Want some wine?"

Today is Friday, and Zhou Jing also wants to take a bath.

"Then drink some."

Gu Jia took the child to the first floor to get the red wine that she had not finished last week. There was not much wine in the bottle, so Gu Jia went to the underground wine cellar to get another bottle. The wine cellar was under the activity room on the first floor. Zhou Jing did not have the habit of collecting wine, so there were only a few bottles of red wine and a few bottles of white wine in the rather luxurious wine cellar.

After working for more than half an hour, Zhou Jing turned off the computer and went to the bedroom.

"Dad~"

The child who was playing with Gu Jia on the bed raised his head and looked at Zhou Jing, shouting happily.

"Come here!"

Zhou Jing squatted beside the bed and hooked his finger.

The little girl stuck her butt up and crawled towards the bed. After she had taken a few steps, Gu Jia grabbed her by the waist and moved her back to her original position. The little girl stuck her butt up and crawled towards the bed again, but was pulled back by Gu Jia again. The little girl laughed like a silver bell.

Zhou Jing took off his shoes, lay on the bed, touched the child's forehead and said, "Say mom, let me go."

"Mom~fuwu~"

The little girl struggled hard.

"Give Dad a back massage."

Gu Jia put the child on Zhou Jing's back.

"Ha~"

The little girl lay on Zhou Jing's back and blinked her big eyes.

"Hold on tight, Daddy is getting up." Zhou Jing got up slowly, swinging the child on his back, "What's Daddy's dad's name? Daddy's dad is called Grandpa. What's Daddy's mom's name? Daddy's mom is called Grandma."

"Hey~ Daddy~"

The little girl danced with joy.

"What is my mom's father's name? My mom's father is called Grandpa. What is my mom's mother's name? My mom's mother is called Grandma."

Gu Jia sat next to them, holding the child with one hand to prevent him from falling. When the song was over, Gu Jia took the child down and took over as the wooden horse.

"How much does Zhou Zhou weigh now?"

Zhou Jing held the child's chubby feet and supported him. The child was more than nine months old and was becoming more and more energetic. He could climb up by grabbing the bed railing and could climb onto adults by himself.

"Almost 20 kilograms." Gu Jia patted the child's butt and said, "Mom can't hold you anymore."

"I will hug you even if I can't hold you."

Zhou Jing took a pillow and lay down to look at his phone.

There is new copy in the digital circle of Weibo that criticizes the Ideal mobile phone. To sum it up in one sentence, it is still the old saying that the Ideal smartphone has low configuration and high price. This point has been used to criticize the Ideal mobile phone since it was launched. While criticizing the Ideal mobile phone, the most compared is Xmi, which has sufficient configuration.

Ignore all the black fans Zhou Jing. Ideal mobile phone experience has never lost, and sales have never lost. People who seriously buy mobile phones can tell the good from the bad after experiencing them personally.

Last month, Huawei ranked first in sales of domestic smartphones, and Ideal ranked second. Ideal's traditional mobile phones have sold more than 50 million units in China and have enough users, so general smears will not have any effect.

"Dad~"

The child climbed onto Zhou Jing, kissed him on the face and looked at his phone.

"How come you grow up so fast? You've already grown up before your dad has even realized how much time and effort it took to raise you. Grow slower in the future, remember that?"

Zhou Jing put down his phone, held the child's head with both hands, kissed him and said.

When the child was just born, Zhou Jing hoped that she would grow up faster. Before he knew it, the little girl could stand up and walk unsteadily on her own. Zhou Jing hoped that she would grow up slower.

"The baby doesn't want to grow up. I don't want to, ... grow up."

Gu Jia and Zhou Jing had the same feeling. Pregnancy was very painful, but after giving birth, she didn't feel anything because the baby could already walk.

"Ha~"

The child couldn't stop for a moment. He stood up by holding the bed, missed the pillow and sat down on Zhou Jing's head.

"So naughty."

It was almost nine o'clock. Gu Jia washed the child's face and took him to the first floor to give it to his mother, while she and Zhou Jing took a bath.

Before taking a bath, Zhou Jing poured two glasses of red wine and placed them on the marble table next to the bathtub.

When the heating was turned on, the house became as warm as spring and it was not cold even if I was wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

Gu Jia turned off the main bathroom light, leaving only the ambient light on, took out two handfuls of rose petals and sprinkled them into the bathtub, then took off her clothes and sat in the warm water in the bathtub. The ceramic bathtub was also warm. Gu Jia leaned against one end of the bathtub, soaking her entire body below her neck in the water. The buoyancy of her body seemed to make her feel light and comfortable.

Rose petals were floating on the surface of the bathtub, a thin layer of red roses. Gu Jia raised one arm to splash water on herself, and the red petals stuck to her skin.

"Little love, little love."

Zhou Jing turned on the smart speaker and connected it to his phone and shouted.

【What’s up?】

"Play light music"

【OK】

"The volume went to thirty."

[OK, the volume is turned up to thirty]

After tuning up the stereo, Zhou Jing stepped into the bathtub and sat face to face with Gu Jia.

"What's the water temperature?"

Gu Jia raised one leg and kicked the water for the boy and said.

"Just right." Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's white, tender and well-proportioned feet, kissed them and said, "What do you want to do this weekend?"

"I'll play table tennis and badminton tomorrow morning, make bread in the afternoon, and go out for a walk after dinner. I won't go out the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go and see the houses in Xingfu Community?"

"No, it's okay if there's no water or electricity. I need to go check if the heater is leaking. I'll sell it next year!"

Zhou Jing regretted buying that house because plans could not keep up with changes.

"Okay, how do you arrange for the children to go to school?"

Gu Jia also wanted to deal with it as soon as possible. She had the company to worry about enough, and there was no need to keep it if she didn't make money from real estate speculation. The child was growing up day by day, and after the Chinese New Year, he would be two years old, and it would be time to consider sending him to school.

“Choose a kindergarten near you.”

Zhou Jing doesn't need to worry about his children's schooling, as there are many good schools near his home.

"cheers."

After soaking in the bathtub to warm herself up for a while, Gu Jia picked up a glass of red wine and said with a smile.

Zhou Jing picked up the other glass, clinked it lightly and took a sip. The bathtub was made of white ceramic, with bright rose petals on the water surface and orange ambient lights in the room. The two of them were sipping red wine. Such a night was wonderful.
