Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 638 Zhou Jing: I'm just a scumbag

"Why is Wang Sicong talking about Ideal Mobile for no reason?"

Gu Jia was a little puzzled when she received the news push on her mobile phone. Although Wang Sicong praised Ideal Mobile Phone, it was easy to attract attention by putting Ideal Mobile Phone on the hot search on the whole network. Besides, Wang Sicong was not a serious person. He was a famous second-generation rich playboy. Ideal Mobile Phone did not need such a "spokesperson".

"He probably has no ill intentions, and may be trying to be nice."

Zhou Jing thought about it carefully. Wang Sicong is a game enthusiast. He entered the e-sports circle two years ago. Xingguang Youke's King of Summoning is as popular as League of Legends in China. Zhou Jing guessed whether Wang Sicong would target Xingguang Youke next. Wang Sicong has an investment company, and Xingguang Youke will definitely carry out a new round of financing within two years.

Last week, a photo of Wang Sicong playing Call of Kings was circulated online. In the photo, there was an Ideal smart speaker and a smart desk lamp placed next to the computer. It should have been exposed by Wang himself.

"It should be. I didn't expect this cynical rich second generation to be able to flatter."

After hearing this, Gu Jia understood that everything in the business circle has a reason. Celebrities generally won't say something is good or bad without a reason. Even if they buy a certain mobile phone and it breaks, they won't complain about it online like ordinary people. Similarly, they won't praise a certain mobile phone if they think it is easy to use without clear benefits.

If a celebrity says that a certain brand of mobile phone is good or bad, they will be criticized or even cyber-bullied. If there is no benefit, no one is willing to suffer in vain.

Ideal Technology's current strength is among the best in the global mobile phone industry, not to mention in China. There are many celebrities who have shown goodwill to Ideal Technology. Many stars in the entertainment industry have been exposed to use Ideal mobile phones privately. If Ideal Technology wants to find celebrities to endorse it, there are many people in the entertainment industry who are willing to do so. The annual endorsement fee for being a spokesperson for Ideal mobile phone is easily several million or even tens of millions, which is much easier than filming a movie.

“The more successful a person is, the more he or she flatters others.”

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"how about you?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

Zhou Jing patted Gu Jia's buttocks twice and said, "Are you comfortable?"

"It feels good." Gu Jia really likes being spanked on the butt by boys. She twisted her waist and looked back at her butt and said, "Does mine count as a peach butt?"

"don't know."

Zhou Jing pretended not to understand girls' figures, but he actually knew in his heart that Gu Jia's butt was a beautiful peach butt, which looked like a peach when she bent over or sat.

Yang Wenwen also has a peach-shaped butt, but hers is fuller, like a ripe peach, very tempting.

"I saw some people online categorizing people's body types into hourglass and pear shapes. I think I belong to the hourglass type."

Gu Jia said while looking in the mirror.

"How to tell the difference?"

Zhou Jing continued to pretend to be a newbie.

"As the name suggests, it's like an hourglass shape, with big breasts and a thin waist."

Gu Jia said as she pinched her shirt tightly around her waist.

"I can't tell. It looks more like a gourd, like the gourd of Calabash Brothers."

Zhou Jing shook his head and said.

"I don't know how to appreciate it."

Gu Jia tapped Zhou Jing's head and went to cook for the child.

Bai Xiyao called Zhou Jing and told him that Ideal Mobile Phone had become a hot topic on the Internet. She was worried that it might be over-the-top. Zhou Jing told her not to pay attention to it. This hot search came suddenly but would not bring any negative impact on Ideal Mobile Phone. Wang Sicong was a rich second-generation after all, and getting recognition from a rich second-generation would definitely be good for the brand.

In response, Zhou Jing asked the official Weibo account of Starlight Gaming to follow Wang Sicong. If Wang Sicong really wanted to invest in Starlight Gaming, Zhou Jing would not refuse. Wang's joining would help King of Summoning develop e-sports.

It was already late February in the Gregorian calendar. Zhou Jing had dealt with the affairs of BJ Company and arranged his trip to Suzhou, Tangdu and Yulin.

Fly to Suzhou on February 22nd, and Bai Xiyao arrives in Suzhou on the same day.

After Zhou Jing's personal reorganization in December last year and Bai Xiyao's arrangement for Taiwei Semiconductor's management to go to Ideal Technology in batches to exchange and learn about corporate culture, Taiwei Semiconductor gradually got on the right track, cut off the original bureaucratic corporate culture, and became more dynamic.

In order to improve the efficiency of Taiwei Semiconductor's R&D department, Zhou Jing raised the status of Taiwei Semiconductor's R&D department. The R&D department is directly led by Bai Guimi, and the director of the R&D department is at the same level as the general manager of Taiwei Semiconductor. They are no longer subject to Taiwei's senior executives. This has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Taiwei Semiconductor's R&D department members. The general manager of Taiwei Semiconductor is of course unhappy, but he can only hold it in. It's a good thing that Zhou Jing didn't fire him last time.

After dealing with the work of Taiwei Semiconductor, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao presided over a meeting of the R&D department.

Zhou Jing asked Bai Xiyao to prepare red envelopes, big red envelopes with one thousand yuan in them, and gave one to each person in the R&D department before the meeting started.

"Happy New Year to everyone."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, thank you, Mr. Bai."

The R&D staff received red envelopes to express their gratitude. One thousand yuan is not worth mentioning for them who have a monthly salary of more than 50,000 yuan and are high-end talents in the field of lithography machine technology, but it is a very happy thing to receive a red envelope prepared by the boss personally in the first month of the year, which is enough to show that the boss values ​​them.

What R&D personnel need most is good treatment, attention from the boss and a good working environment, and the boss gives them all three.

"The R&D department achieved very good results last year. The most difficult part of R&D is going from 0 to 1. This process cannot be conventional. We must dare to break through the inherent thinking and find new ways. I hope everyone will continue to dare to think and try."

"The BJ Lithography Technology Research Institute has been launched, focusing on lithography control technology. Next month, the BJ team will come here to learn and exchange ideas. Both sides are on the same front. We must maintain unreserved and frank communication, share research data, and maximize the power of our entire research system."

There was nothing important to discuss in the meeting. The research on lithography machine technology is not something that can be achieved overnight. It simply emphasized the importance of Taiwei Semiconductor Research Institute.

Zhou Jing led the speech, and Bai Xiyao sat beside him, listening and taking notes.

Although Bai Xiyao is the direct leader of Taiwei Semiconductor's R&D department, Bai Xiyao is more like Zhou Jing's shadow. Bai Xiyao knows nothing about the work of the lithography machine technology R&D department and it is impossible for her to interfere.

After the meeting, when it was almost time to get off work, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the company cafeteria to eat without anyone else accompanying them.

According to Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao's personalities, they would definitely go around to taste the local specialties when they go to other places. Now Zhou Jing's fame is comparable to that of a first-line star and he is considered a semi-public figure. He will cause a commotion when walking in the streets, so Zhou Jing will not go out on the streets unless necessary. Last year, when he returned to Tangdu, he would have dinner with Bai's best friend Liu Hanyu from time to time, but now it rarely happens.

"We are young and vigorous students, and you are becoming more and more charming."

After getting her meal and sitting opposite Zhou Jing, Bai Xiyao was inspired.

"I'm just a jerk."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"Much better than Wang Sicong."

"Wang Sicong is at best a playboy."

Zhou Jing didn't think he was better than Wang Sicong. He got married with another woman behind his girlfriend's back. He was passionately involved with Yang Wenwen during Gu Jia's pregnancy. He was not just an ordinary scumbag. It was not excessive for him to be stabbed in Shura Field for such behavior.

"are you OK!"

Bai Xiyao sighed. No matter what situation Zhou Jing was in in the future, she would definitely protect him as her best friend.

Bai Xiyao increasingly felt that a man like Zhou Jing who was affectionate and daring enough to do and take responsibility for his actions was not really a scumbag. Just like Duan Zhengchun in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, he had so many women and had children with them, but he was still liked by women. No one thought that Duan Zhengchun was a scumbag.

And there is Wei Xiaobao.

On the contrary, Zhang Wuji was hesitant and unpopular, and all his peerless martial arts skills were wasted.

"If you were Zhang Wuji, you would not let Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and the girl in yellow go without any of them, right?"

Bai Xiyao looked at Zhou Jing and said.

"Nun Miejue didn't let her go either." "You're awesome."

"."

After dinner, the two returned to the hotel and talked about work while looking at the materials they brought back from Taiwei Semiconductor. They had to make plans as soon as possible to build Ideal Technology's southern headquarters in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, build a factory in Malaysia, and establish software companies in Singapore and India. The Tangdu R&D base project had already begun preparations, and this year was a big year for Ideal Technology's expansion.

Previously, because Ideal Technology refused to build a factory in India, India got angry and threatened to impose tariffs on Ideal products.

A few days ago, Ideal Technology said it would set up a software development and service company in India, and promised that if operations in India went well, it would consider building a factory. Building a factory was a cover-up, and Ideal Technology did it just to ease relations and finalize the software company as soon as possible so that Ideal products can resume normal sales in India.

The situation was just as Zhou Jing expected. After the software company's matter was finalized, India resumed the sales of Ideal products in India. This is how the business world works. You can't be stubborn. Settling for second best is not giving in, it's just for your own interests.

“There is no problem in building a factory in Malaysia. We have already started selecting a site.”

"After we expressed our intention to establish our southern headquarters in Shenzhen, Shenzhen immediately invited us to discuss the matter. Have you thought about the scale of investment?"

Bai Xiyao looked at Zhou Jing and said.

"5 billion, and we are planning a research and development base in the south. The specific investment for the research and development base will be determined by the end of this year or next year."

The company has too many spending areas this year. Even though Zhou Jing is wealthy, he has to slow down the pace and consider other projects based on this year's performance. He dare not expand too wildly.

“Should we adjust the plan for the southern headquarters, cancel the production base, replace it with a research and development department, build a small or medium-sized research and development base first, and see if the local area can reserve land for the second and third phases.”

Bai Xiyao feels that it is necessary to build a research and development base in a coastal city. The talent pool in large coastal cities is more diversified and they can attract more foreign talent, which is something that inland cities cannot compare to.

"Okay, let the project team make a budget and then plan to set up a software company on the coast."

Zhou Jing also had this idea. After the factory in Malaysia is built, it can take on some foreign orders.

Establishing a software company on the southern coast can, firstly, better serve Ideal Mobile, secondly, connect with international business, and thirdly, prepare for the launch of short videos.

“Should I choose the Cayman Islands as my place of registration?”

Bai Xiyao said that many domestic companies register their locations in the Cayman Islands in order to avoid taxes, including the well-known large Internet companies, nine out of ten of which are registered in the Cayman Islands.

"We'll see when the time comes."

The core company Zhou Jing does not plan to register overseas, but the short video Internet can be considered to better integrate into the international market.

Bai Xiyao stayed in Zhou Jing's room until almost nine o'clock when she returned to her room. The two single men and women kept a proper distance in the middle of the night. After Bai's best friend left, Zhou Jing called Gu Jia and took a shower while talking to the mother and daughter who were far away in BJ.

"Follow Mom, Dad."

"Dad~"

"I miss you."

"I miss you~"

"Tell me when Daddy will be home."

"Dad~Come back~"

On the other side of the phone, Gu Jia was teaching the child to speak.

"Dad will be back in two days."

Zhou Jing felt very guilty. He didn't have to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of Yu City Red Date Processing Company in person, but he went back to Yu City just to see Yang Wenwen. He had to stay in Yu City for two days and would have to return to BJ three days later. He felt really guilty towards Gu Jia and her daughter.

The price of being a scumbag is hurting the person you like, and at the same time you bear the debt of conscience.

"Did Taiwei give you any trouble this time?"

Gu Jia turned off the speakerphone and said.

"It's much better now, and the executives are doing a decent job."

Zhou Jing will not give the executives of Taiwei Semiconductor a second chance. If they cause trouble again because of the corporate culture, he will be fired directly. Zhou Jing now has people and orders under him, so there is no need to pamper them.

Gu Jia: "You can set performance requirements for the general manager. Taiwei's order volume is not bad now. Give a deadline to turn losses into profits."

"It's not difficult to turn a loss into a profit. The main problem is that the R&D department burns too much money."

Zhou Jing does not have high requirements for Taiwei Semiconductor. He only needs profits enough to cover the company's operations and the salaries and benefits of all its employees. The annual salary and benefits of members of Taiwei Semiconductor's R&D department will be several hundred million.

After staying in Suzhou for one night, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao returned to Tangdu the next day. When they arrived in Tangdu, Ideal Technology's human resources arranged for someone to drive Zhou Jing and Gu Jia's special car, a Range Rover, to pick them up at the airport. After returning to Ideal Technology, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao had a quick bite and went to their respective offices to work.

When Liu Hanyu heard that Zhou Jing came to the company, she felt itchy in her heart, but she still resisted the urge to go to Zhou Jing's office.

Bai Xiyao asked the testing department to send two Ideal 1s and Imagine 1s test machines, and then personally delivered them to Zhou Jing's office and said: "The gap between the upgraded version released last year and this one is quite large."

“Smartphones get a major upgrade once a year.”

Zhou Jing opened an Ideal 1s to experience it.

Ideal 1s and Changxiang 1s were originally planned to be launched together in September last year. However, considering that it would be difficult for consumers to choose if too many models were released at one time, the launch plan was adjusted. Last year, only Ideal 1 and Changxiang 1 were launched, and the s series was postponed to April this year. After adjusting the launch plan, the company made relatively large adjustments to Ideal 1s and Changxiang 1s.

First of all, after last year's 1 series, the Ideal smartphone technology has been fully verified and revised, and it has become more mature. Secondly, the hardware has been upgraded. The original Ideal 1s used 2GB of RAM and 8GB of body storage. After the adjustment, the RAM is still 2GB, and the body storage has been upgraded to 16GB. The software system has also been upgraded and optimized. Compared with the 1 released last year, 1s is undoubtedly a step up in fluency and stability.

After optimization and upgrades in various aspects, Ideal 1s and Imagine 1s have become more mature overall. The experience alone will teach domestic competitors a lesson, letting them know that domestic mobile phones can also be very smooth.

However, in terms of configuration, Ideal 1s still lags behind Mi 2s which Xiaomi plans to launch in April.

The Mi 2s also has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, which is the most fully-stocked device in China, and this storage parameter is very attractive.

Xiaomi and iPhone are two extremes. Xiaomi piles up parameters while iPhone is very stingy.

Starting from April, domestic mobile phone manufacturers will start releasing new models. After a few months of calm, a new round of life-and-death competition will begin.

After activating the Ideal 1s test machine, Zhou Jing used the Ideal 1 in his left hand and the Ideal 1s in his right hand. He felt that the Ideal 1s was obviously smoother, but of course it was not as smooth as the chocolate-like iPhone. The closed ecosystem of the iPhone had inherent advantages.

"How about it?"

Bai Xiyao looked at Zhou Jing and said.

"Okay, don't skip the testing process."

Zhou Jing nodded and said.

"know."

"."

After get off work, Zhou Jing had dinner at the company and went to his father-in-law's place. He saw that his father-in-law had moved into the Tangdu Villa. The villa had been cleaned up last time, so it would be more convenient for Zhou Jing to live in the villa.

After staying in Tangdu for one night, Zhou Jing returned to Yulin early the next morning.
