Chapter 113: R&D Team Prototype, Purchasing Director Candidate (Subscription Request)

"Mr. Chen, generally speaking, to optimize a more user-friendly mobile phone system based on the Android system, you need at least one system architect, 4-6 framework developers, 6-8 application developers, 2 driver developers, 2 UI designers, and 4-6 testers and security architects. That's about a 20-person R&D team."

Wang Teng took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and explained slowly.

“How long is the development cycle?”

Chen Yansen asked again.

"9 to 12 months." Wang Teng replied.

"It's too slow. Given sufficient funding and manpower, how many months can it be completed at the earliest?"

Chen Yansen shook his head and continued to ask.

"3 months, but the number of people has to be increased to 60, and the product has to be debugged and modified repeatedly after it goes online." Wang Teng was stunned, and after sorting out his thoughts, he reported a new number.

"I'll make a staffing plan. Before you start working, I'll have HR staff you fully."

Chen Yansen said bluntly.

"Mr. Chen, are you still making the FoxTao mobile app?" Wang Teng realized at this time that the other party's real purpose was to make mobile phones.

"It's not too late to develop the mobile system first and then the app. The current mobile devices and network environment are not sufficient to support Fox Tao's full transition to mobile devices."

Chen Yansen said slowly.

"Mr. Chen, I understand. I will start work as soon as possible." Wang Teng made up his mind and said proactively.

"Our surrounding area is all rural. Usually, colleagues who are recruited from society either rent teachers' apartments or rent houses across from the east gate. You can consult Xu Dan about this and rent a house in advance."

Chen Yansen patted his shoulder and reminded him with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Wang Teng grinned, with a bit more respect in his expression. After all, after accepting the offer, Chen Yansen would be his boss in the future.

"It's almost time for dinner. Do you want to try the food in Xuyuan cafeteria?" Chen Yansen suggested with a chuckle.

"Then I'll be polite." Wang Teng agreed readily. Since the boss was treating him, he had to accompany him even if it was just a boxed lunch.

Chen Yansen called Wang Zihao, and the three of them walked towards the cafeteria together.

During the meal, Chen Yansen and Wang Teng naturally talked about OPPO, Xiaomi, and the development trends of the domestic mobile phone industry.

"Brother Sen, are you going to enter the mobile phone industry?" Wang Zihao asked in surprise after listening for a while.

"We're still in the planning stages. Making a mobile phone isn't that simple. Just keep it to yourself and don't talk nonsense in front of the project team." Chen Yansen looked at Wang Zihao and warned him.

Xiaomi's R&D team has more than 100 people, including technical experts such as Lin Bing and Li Wanqiang. It took more than 4 months to release the MIUI beta version.

Although Wang Teng announced the goal of completing the project in three months, Chen Yansen did not hold out much hope. He just regarded it as a goal Wang Teng set for himself and decided to make a first version to see the effect.

"Bullshit!" Wang Zihao made a '666' gesture.

After dinner, Wang Zihao took Wang Teng back to the Entrepreneurship Park, greeted Xu Dan first, and then took him to see the house.

In Brother Hao’s words, we both have the surname Wang, so I must take care of you.

In fact, Wang Zihao knew that Chen Yansen had interviewed so many social recruitment candidates, but only invited Wang Teng to have lunch together, which showed that he valued him very much.

This Wang Teng is most likely to be the core figure of Fox Tao in the future, so let’s build a good relationship with him first.

By the time Wang Zihao and Wang Teng rented a house, they were already so familiar with each other that they were arm in arm.

After finishing these, Wang Teng said goodbye and prepared to return to Dongguan to complete his resignation procedures.

Except Xu Dan, no one else knew about Chen Yansen's actions. Using investors' money to support his own project sounds unethical, but morality has little binding force on Chen Yansen.

afternoon.

Chen Yansen walked into Cao Dahua's office and immediately rented the six startup rooms on the first floor.

"Are you really planning to make a mobile phone?" Cao Dahua handed over the key, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. He was not optimistic about Chen Yansen's decision.

"Nonsense! We've already hired over a dozen people, and I estimate these rooms will be full by the end of the month."

Chen Yansen took the key and didn't leave in a hurry. He sat down and made himself a pot of fresh tea.

"You're hiring so many people from outside the school. Honestly, I'm a little overwhelmed."

Cao Dahua pushed his glasses, looking embarrassed.

The six rooms downstairs can accommodate sixty to seventy office seats, plus the dozen or so social recruitment staff on the second floor. If anything goes wrong, he will definitely be the first person to take the blame.

"Can Old Tang handle it?" Chen Yansen glanced at Cao Dahua. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, his heart sank. He guessed that it would not be so easy to ask the Security Department to issue an entry and exit pass this time.

"It's pretty bad." Cao Dahua concluded.

"Do we have to arrange all of them off-campus?" Chen Yansen was a little unhappy. The rental cost of the entrepreneurship park is almost zero. Renting an office building off-campus has a small cost, but regulating and controlling the progress of research and development is a big deal.

"I will talk to the principal tomorrow and try my best to help you." Cao Dahua thought for a moment and replied.

"Oh, if it really doesn't work out, I'll just move the project to a nearby science park."

Chen Yansen has nothing to mourn.

If he moves the fox away, how can Tang Qingshan still use his reputation as a college student entrepreneur?

The college student entrepreneurship competition in mid-March is still counting on Chen Yansen to be the host.

"Haha, you finally have the principal's lifeline in your hands." Cao Dahua laughed, looking gloating. Anyway, when the time comes, Tang Qingshan will agree to this matter, and if something really happens, he can't take all the blame.

"The next step is to find a purchasing director who is reliable on the supply side, which is much more difficult than finding R&D personnel."

Chen Yansen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed softly.

In Chen Yansen's view, once procurement personnel have more resources, it's hard not to be greedy; it's simply a matter of how much they want. If someone is highly capable and doesn't take kickbacks, wouldn't that make them saintly?

Chen Yansen is not that greedy. As long as he can get things done, it doesn't matter if he is a little greedy. There is no need to demand that others do something that he himself cannot do.

"I do have some connections in this area." Cao Dahua picked up the cup with a proud look on his face.

“Can people be trusted?”

Chen Yansen put down his teacup and asked hurriedly.

"Big Pineapple's Vice President of Purchasing has been working in the mobile phone industry for over a decade. He's well-versed in all the electronic component suppliers in the Southeast region..."

Cao Dahua introduced slowly.

Big pineapple?
Isn't that a copycat brand?

Chen Yansen pondered to himself that with the other party's resources, they could only integrate the low-end supply chain.

What he wants are first-class quality chips, screens, cameras, motherboards and batteries. If he only makes copycat phones, there is no need to waste manpower and financial resources to develop derivative systems.

"What do you mean, kid? You look down on it? Then figure it out yourself." Seeing Chen Yansen's disdainful look, Cao Dahua turned his head and said nothing.

"I definitely trust the person Teacher Cao recommended. Give me their contact information and I'll have Xu Dan talk to them first."

Chen Yansen said with a smile.

"That's pretty good. Lao Zuo is a kind-hearted man and he does things efficiently." Cao Dahua commented seriously.

"How do you, who works in the Internet industry, know people in the mobile phone industry?" Chen Yansen asked curiously with a puzzled look on his face.

"We're all working in Shenzhen, and we're from the same hometown. We met at the Chamber of Commerce. Isn't that normal?"

Cao Dahua spread his hands and explained as a matter of course.

"It's such a waste of your talent to stay in Xucheng College. Why don't you come to FoxTao and I can get you a position as vice president?" Chen Yansen joked.

"Stop it! I joked with you last time, and you took it seriously? Even if you offered me half of my shares in Fox Tao for my job, I wouldn't even care."

Cao Dahua chuckled and boasted casually.

"Okay, I'll be leaving then. I like your tea. Lend it to me for two days."

After saying that, Chen Yansen picked up the tea and walked out without caring whether Cao Dahua agreed or not.

"You bastard, I just bought some new tea, and you're eating it and taking it."

Cao Dahua cursed in anger and grief at Chen Yansen's back.

Chen Yansen acted as if he didn't hear anything. He quickened his pace and disappeared in a flash.

Go back to Room 206.

Chen Yansen gave Xu Dan the cell phone number of the person introduced by Cao Dahua and asked her to communicate with him first to test the other party's conditions for changing jobs.

While the system is being developed, supply chain integration work cannot stop.

As for whether to build a factory by ourselves or find someone to do the production, we have to wait until we have sufficient funds before making a plan.

Chen Yansen opened the data backend. It was only 4:30 in the afternoon, and the total number of active users that day had reached 1.8 million. It looked like it would reach 2 million by the end of the month.

The development of FoxTao cannot be rushed, as the current growth rate has far exceeded Chen Yansen's expectations.

In the future, as long as FoxTao proceeds steadily and does not give Mogujie, Meilishuo and Taofenba a chance to rise, and firmly grasps the four major sectors of super rebates, 9.9 yuan, search and mall rebates, it will be able to firmly sit in the top position of shopping guide e-commerce.

At that point, whether it's a whole sale or financing negotiations, the selling price or valuation can be maximized.

Before leaving get off work, Chen Yansen glanced at Song Yuncheng and saw that she was still working on the plan. He smiled faintly and walked downstairs.

She has been very eager to make money recently and is busy connecting with the channels of major B2C platforms or communicating with brands to implement marketing plans.

Seeing how desperate she was, she probably wanted to double back the tens of thousands of dollars she spent in Yanjing.

As soon as Chen Yansen left the entrepreneurship park, Zhang Yifeng called him.

The matter is very simple. The merchant resources of A's investment fell out of the CRM database and were picked up by B's investment.

Now when merchants go to A to sign up for a brand group, they find that the registration authority is in the hands of B. A asks B for the merchant, but B refuses to give it to them. If he and Yuan Wei had not stopped them, the two would have almost fought.

"For those who are causing trouble, your commission will be reduced by 1 percentage point this month. If you do it again, you will be fired directly."

After listening to this, Chen Yansen said decisively.

After making quick money in two months, these investors started to act arrogantly and even disregarded the "drop inventory" rules.

If we don’t take strict measures, who knows what kind of trouble will arise.

According to regulations, when merchant resources are entered into the CRM database for the first time, the registration authority belongs to the person who enters the investment promotion.

If you do not sign up for a brand group event within 21 days, it will be removed from the CRM library and become a public resource that anyone can pick up.

Therefore, the investment promotion that is causing trouble has no valid reason to stand up.

"Okay, Brother Sen, I will handle it properly." Zhang Yifeng promised.

Chen Yansen nodded and continued walking towards the cafeteria. As soon as he reached the fork in the road, he saw Song Yang holding the hand of a long-haired girl and heading towards the east gate.

"This boy is really dating a senior?"

Chen Yansen smiled and muttered softly.
