Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 732 Testing
The New Year's Day holiday is over and the company officially starts its goals for the new year.

The 2013 financial reports of various companies have been completed one after another. Bai Xiyao sent the financial reports of Ideal Technology, Taiwei Semiconductor and others to Zhou Jing, and Qin Zhengyu sent the financial reports of BJ's P Station and Starlight Youke to Zhou Jing's email.

Zhou Jing highlighted the key points and found that Ideal Technology's sales target, revenue and net profit target for 2013 were all exceeded expectations. Ideal smartphone sales in 2013 reached more than million units, an increase of more than % over last year. Ideal's traditional mobile phone sales were nearly million units, a decrease of nearly % over last year.

The sales volume of Ideal smart speakers and smart lamps is expected to account for more than 2013 percent of the global market share in , and the Bluetooth headsets launched in November will account for percent of the market share.

According to public data from the first three quarters, the sales volume of Ideal smartphones in 2013 was almost the same as that of Huawei phones. According to the current trend, the sales volume of Ideal smartphones will top the domestic smartphone market in January 2014. It took Ideal Technology only more than three years to go from zero to the world's third largest mobile phone brand.

At the beginning of 2014, Ideal smartphones were squeezed out by benchmark software, but this did not affect the sales of Ideal phones. After the New Year's Day event started, Ideal was the most popular domestic mobile phone both online and offline. Ideal 2 and Ideal 2s were unlocked in limited supply in January and became the hottest-selling models, and the first choice for people who can't afford an iPhone.

Zhou Jing has resigned from the position of general manager of Chuangzhi Technology headquarters. He does not need to go to the company on weekdays. Zhou Jing now focuses on Ideal Technology.

Ideal Technology has completed the appointment of Gu Jia. Gu Jia is now the deputy general manager and CFO of Ideal Technology. He will not go to work at Chuangzhi Technology for the time being and has begun to prepare to return to Tangdu. The family plans to move back to Tangdu before the Spring Festival.

Before returning to Tangdu, Zhou Jing handled company affairs at home and took care of the children, which was very comfortable.

"Let me calculate how much money I have earned in the past 13 years. It is over million. Do I need to put a fixed deposit in my salary card?"

There is a printer in the study at home. Gu Jia printed out the December salary list, year-end bonus and dividend list of Chuangzhi Technology, reviewed them and calculated her own income. In 2013, a total of more than million yuan was credited to her salary card.

"No need. I'll get you a fund of 100 million at Jinlin Capital. The returns will be much higher than the bank interest."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"No, it's useless to ask for so much money."

Compared to mountains of gold and silver, what Gu Jia wants more is a complete family. She already has enough money. There are more than 20 million in her salary card alone. She can't even spend 2 million a year. There is no point in having more money.

Zhou Jing felt a little guilty because he gave more directly to Chen Jiaqian than to Gu.

"What gift do you want?"

Gu Jia touched Zhou Jing's head and said.

Zhou Jing hooked Gu Jia's slender waist and said thoughtfully: "You are the best gift."

"Is there anything you need to arrange before returning to Tangdu?"

Gu Jia pinched Zhou Jing's ear and said.

"No, go back to Tangdu and buy two more cars. What car do you want?"

Zhou Jing thought about it and realized that BJ was so far from Tangdu that he didn’t need to move anything. The only inconvenience was that the villa would be empty when Zhou Jing went to BJ on business trips in the future.

“I’ll take any car.”

Gu Jia doesn't pick cars, he just uses them as a means of transportation.

Zhou Jing opened the computer webpage to search for cars. Tangdu only has one Audi A8 now. When he returned from BJ, he drove the red Bentley Bentayga. He needs to buy a sedan and an SUV when he returns. After looking around, Zhou Jing still likes Maybach. Maybach is more in line with Zhou Jing's identity and temperament. Zhou Jing doesn't have a particular favorite SUV.

After choosing the car, Zhou Jing asked her best friend Bai to buy it.

"Should we buy a bigger safe?"

Gu Jia thought for a moment and said.

"Need not."

Zhou Jing shook his head. There was a safe in the basement of the villa, which had its own safe. There were many valuables in the house, but most of them were external things. To Zhou Jing, he didn't need to worry about external things, as he could buy new ones if they were lost.

The Chamber of Commerce in Yu City was held on January 1th. Zhou Jing drove back to Yu City on the 7th. He set out in the morning and arrived in Yu City around four in the afternoon. It had been almost half a year since he last went back to Yu City. After Gu Jia knew about Yang Wenwen's situation, Zhou Jing was embarrassed to go back to Yu City. If Gu Jia hadn't said that Zhou Jing could take care of Yang Wenwen's child, Zhou Jing would have been embarrassed to go back to Yu City this time.

After arriving in Yu City, Zhou Jing called Gu Jia. Gu Jia did not mention Yang Wenwen and her daughter, and Zhou Jing did not say whether he would look for Yang Wenwen. He only told Gu Jia that he lived in the house on Baoning Road. Zhou Jing told Gu Jia that after leaving Yu City, Yang Wenwen would live in the house on Baoning Road, and that Yang Wenwen would occasionally clean the house on Baoning Road after buying it.

After talking to Gu Jia on the phone and going to Yang Wenwen's house, Zhou Jing felt somewhat uneasy. Gu Jia allowed him to see Yang Wenwen's child, and it would be difficult to explain if she knew that he and Yang Wenwen were still having an ambiguous relationship.

Gu Jia was also a little unsure. She didn't know whether Zhou Jing would look for Yang Wenwen, but she didn't want to ask. She didn't object to Zhou Jing seeing Yang Wenwen's child, but after learning about Zhou Jing's affair with Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen, she both trusted and distrusted Zhou Jing. Gu Jia believed that Zhou Jing knew his limits and would not have an illegitimate child with Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen, nor would he get involved in pornography, gambling, or drugs. She suspected that Zhou Jing would lose control again when he met Chen Jiaqian and Yang Wenwen.

Yang Wenwen was at home. She couldn't sleep alone last night knowing that Zhou Jing had returned. When she received the news that Zhou Jing had arrived outside the community, Yang Wenwen put on her down jacket and mask and went downstairs to pick him up.

"Yushi still has feelings, what do you think?"

As soon as they met in the community, Zhou Jing put his arm around Yang Wenwen's waist and said.

"Be careful that others recognize you."

Although both of them were wearing masks, Yang Wenwen still kept a distance from Zhou Jing outdoors in broad daylight. When it comes to feelings, Yang Wenwen agreed. It was indeed more emotional when she met Zhou Jing in Yulin City. It was a feeling like she was waiting for her husband to come home. She had never had this feeling in Tang.

"Do you miss your husband?"

Zhou Jing did not continue pulling, but looked at Yang Wenwen's face and said with a smile.

"Well, when are we going to move back to Tangdu?"

Yang Wenwen was more than just thinking about him. The last time they met was in early December, and it had been a month since they separated. The empty feeling when she missed Zhou Jing made her feel hot and weak all over, as if she was sick.

Yang Wenwen experienced what lovesickness is. Missing someone too much can really lead to lovesickness.

"The week after next, in the second half of next year, it will be much more convenient for you and CC to meet in Tangdu."

After entering the residential building, Zhou Jing put his right hand into the back pocket of Yang Wenwen's tight jeans to feel the feeling of Yang Wenwen's buttocks when she walked.

"Will you always stay in Tangdu from now on?"

Even through the clothes, Zhou Jing's touch still made Yang Wenwen's body lose strength and become limp.

“Focus on ideal technology.”

There were footsteps coming from upstairs, and Zhou Jing's hand came out of Yang Wenwen's pocket.

Yang Wenwen asked: "Has the problem of Ideal Phone being banned from running scores by running score software been solved?"

“It doesn’t need to be solved. Ordinary people don’t pay attention to running points.”

Zhou Jing was too lazy to bother with the benchmark software. If it really affected the sales of Ideal mobile phones, Zhou Jing had plenty of options. He could directly acquire the benchmark software company or let Chuangzhi Technology develop one.

"Indeed, offline stores in Yushi are crowded every day."

Yang Wenwen runs an Ideal online store herself, and the sales of Ideal mobile phones have not been affected at all after the running score was restricted.

"I miss you so much."

When they got into the house, Zhou Jing took off his mask and also took off Yang Wenwen's mask. He put his arms around Yang Wenwen's back and kissed her red lips.

"Well, let's eat first! I'll go cook some noodles."

Yang Wenwen responded, speaking in a long voice.

Zhou Jing sucked Yang Wenwen's lips, reluctantly let go of her hand, took off his down jacket, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, washed his hands, went to the kitchen, hugged Yang Wenwen from behind, rested his chin on Yang Wenwen's shoulder, and kissed Yang Wenwen's neck.

"Try the food."

Yang Wenwen covered the pot of noodles, opened the warm pot and said.

Yang Wenwen made mutton noodles and had dinner at around four o'clock. She cooked the noodles for herself and Zhou Jing first, and saved some for the child. The mutton was fresh local goat meat that Yang Wenwen bought yesterday.

"I want to eat you more." Zhou Jing bit Yang Wenwen's ear and said with a smile.

"How bad."

Yang Wenwen's heart couldn't help but shrink. She opened the lid of the pot and stirred it with a pair of chopsticks, then brought the cold dishes and kimchi to the table.

"Only the food you cook can whet my appetite. Your cooking skills are much better than Gu Jia's."

Zhou Jing said as he tasted a piece of stewed lamb.

"You're probably tired of eating Gu Jia's cooking!"

Yang Wenwen didn't know whether the boy was speaking from his heart.

However, Yang Wenwen believes that her cooking skills should be better than Gu Jia's. Gu Jia grew up in a wealthy family and probably couldn't even cook before she got together with the boy. She also had no time to cook after starting a business with Zhou Jing. Yang Wenwen has been helping her family cook since high school, especially in the last two or three years. After her conditions improved, Yang Wenwen has been very attentive to cooking.

"Your cooking skills are really better than Gu Jia's."

What Zhou Jing said was from his heart. There was a gap between Gu Jia and Yang Wenwen when it came to cooking home-cooked meals, but the egg tarts, bread and other things made by Gu Jia were pretty good.

Yang Wenwen smiled without saying anything. She thought of a saying: To tie a man down, you have to tie his stomach. It seems to make sense.

"I'll serve."

Zhou Jing took the prepared noodles from Yang Wenwen and brought them to the dining table, then went to the kitchen to get some for Yang Wenwen.

"I can also cook some home-cooked meals."

Yang Wenwen followed behind Zhou Jing and said with a smile.

"I never get tired of the home-cooked meals you make." Zhou Jing put down the bowl and said, "It tastes just like my mother's."

"My cooking skills have only improved significantly in the past two years. How did you like the food I cooked in 09?"

Yang Wenwen and Zhou Jing sat face to face, and Yang Wenwen put some mutton from her bowl into Zhou Jing's bowl.

“It’s not as delicious as what I make now.”

Zhou Jing told the truth. At that time, Yang Wenwen was under great financial pressure, and the kitchen utensils and seasonings were not complete.

"You are a great cook. How long has it been since you last cooked?"

Yang Wenwen recalled vividly the scene of the first time she took her children to visit Zhou Jing's rented house in 09. She remembered clearly every dish Zhou Jing cooked. In order to take care of the children, Zhou Jing specially made egg custard and cola chicken wings. That was the first time Yang Wenwen felt that a boy could be so charming.

"It's been a while. The last time I cooked was last year. Let's go to Tangdu during the winter break?"

Zhou Jing has forgotten exactly when he last cooked. There are two women in the family and they don't need Zhou Jing to cook. Zhou Jing is responsible for taking care of the children at home. Last year, when the children just started to eat complementary food, Zhou Jing cooked a few times.

"go."

Tangdu is close to Yang Wenwen’s parents’ home, so it is convenient for her to go back during the New Year.

“How is the air quality test in the villa?”

Zhou Jing said as he took a mouthful of noodles.

"The formaldehyde content is not high. Buy the furniture during the winter vacation and then test it. Where are you spending the New Year?"

Yang Wenwen is looking forward to moving into her own villa.

"I'm back home. I can set off fireworks there for fun. There's no New Year atmosphere in the city. Do you allow fireworks in your hometown?"

Zhou Jingping is tired of staying in the city, and he will definitely go back to his hometown when he has time.

Yang Wenwen said: "Yes, our hometown is also a small place, there are no restrictions."

Zhou Jing recalled that he had visited Yang Wenwen's parents' home once in 2010. In the first month of that year, he went to Tangdu for a walk and took Yang Wenwen and her daughter to Yushi.

After dinner, it was almost time to go home from school. Yang Wenwen went to pick up the children from school, and Zhou Jing was the only one left in the room. Zhou Jing sent two photos of the house on Baoning Road that he had taken with his spare mobile phone to Gu Jia.

[Looks pretty clean, what did you eat? ]

Gu Jia thought Zhou Jing was really in the house on Baoning Road.

Zhou Jing hesitated and replied: [Go find Yang Wenwen to get the key. Yang Wenwen prepared a meal, shredded pork noodle soup]

[Yang Wenwen's daughter should not have finished school yet]

Gu Jia was not surprised. No matter what, it was better for Zhou Jing to have a place to stay and eat hot meals prepared by acquaintances when he was away from home than to go to a restaurant. What if Zhou Jing drank too much at the party and let Yang Wenwen pay the price?

Zhou Jing carefully tested Gu Jia's attitude: [No, I bought some local specialties on the way and left them at Yang Wenwen's house]

Gu Jia: [I will take some time to visit my children next year]

Zhou Jing: [Okay, what did you eat?]

Gu Jia: [We also had noodles. Zhou Zhou had noodles with minced meat. We had vegetarian noodles with sauerkraut. Is the heating in your house okay?]

Zhou Jing: [No problem, the heating in Yu City is very warm, much warmer than the villa in Tangdu]

Gu Jia: [Drink more water, can the electric kettle still be used?]

Zhou Jing: [Yes, Yang Wenwen must have bought a new one]

【.】

After chatting with Gu Jia for a while, Zhou Jing said that he had made an appointment with his high school classmates to play billiards. After that, he turned on the TV and watched the news while chatting about work with his bestie Bai.

Bai Xiyao: [The sales of smartphones of various mobile phone manufacturers in 2013 have been sent to you. Have you read it?]

[I've seen it. How are the sales in the first few days of January?]

In 2013, Huawei still ranked first in sales of domestically produced smartphones, with more than 2012 million units sold. In , Huawei's sales volume was more than million units, a significant increase.

The second-largest brand, Ideal, sold more than 2014 million smartphones in 2012, compared to less than million in . The sales growth of Ideal smartphones is a bit scary. No wonder its competitors are making trouble on the first day of the new year.

The sales volume of the third Xiaomi was quite different from that of the first and second Xiaomi. In 2013, the sales volume of Xiaomi mobile phone was only more than million units. It was closely followed by ZTE, whose sales volume also exceeded million units.

Amid fierce competition, sales of domestically produced smartphones that have survived have all been increasing.

According to market share statistics, Ideal series of Ideal mobile phones is mainly competing for Samsung's market share. This is the same as Zhou Jing expected. The initial price of the Ideal series is above 2,500 yuan, which is higher than most domestic brands. The actual experience of the Ideal series is no worse than Samsung's 3,000 yuan. Even some iPhone users have switched to Ideal.

In general, the launch of Ideal smartphones in 2013 broke the original pattern. Before the release of Ideal smartphones, the smartphone market was dominated by iPhone, Samsung and Huawei. The pattern changed rapidly after the launch of Ideal smartphones.

Bai Xiyao: [We will start to provide Bluetooth headset batteries, chips and patents to other mobile phone manufacturers on the 20th. When will we launch the Smurf ES?]

Smurf ES is the version before the official version of Ideal's first-generation Bluetooth headset. Its battery life and sound quality are slightly worse than those of the first-generation Smurf. In order to make the Bluetooth headset a success, Ideal changed its strategy and upgraded the model that was originally planned to be released, and the original version was changed to Smurf ES.

Bluetooth headsets have been recognized by the market, and Ideal Technology is preparing to let the Smurf ES occupy the low-end market.

[Let’s launch it if there is no problem with the test]

Zhou Jing did not hesitate any longer, as the Bluetooth headset urgently needed a low-end model so that more people could have the opportunity to experience it.
