My Return to Life

"My Return to Life ()"

Looking at the bright night view of Shanghai from the window on the 86th floor of Park Hyatt, there is a special sense of tranquility.

After dinner, Fang Nian went down to the private conference room on the 86th floor, moved a chair and sat in front of the window.

No additional banquets will be arranged.

After all, after booking the banquet hall on the 92nd floor, the hotel provides all types of catering, except the chef's table.

In places like banquets, Fang Nian will eat faster, so you can enjoy the night view alone in advance.

Fang Nian did not make much preparation for the upcoming Nuwa Alliance meeting.

Even as early as the middle of last month, Fang Nian had mentioned to Lu Weiyu that a meeting would be organized.

Fang Nian's idea is simple.

His speaker is the mascot.

Members of the alliance make suggestions, and he accepts them.

Anyway, he has the final say inside Nuwa Lab, and it is nothing more than a change in the external mode.

As far as the moment is concerned, it does not affect the interests of the frontier at all-because the frontier is a big loss in the Nuwa laboratory anyway.

This is obvious.

Xiaomi has been tinkering for nearly half a year, and invested less than 8 million yuan in funds.

After Frontier took over, a batch of 110 million was invested in two months, excluding additional investment, and an additional 31 million was invested at the beginning of last month.

Although it is not planned to invest in this year from the budget;

But this is not in the same order of magnitude at all.

It is foreseeable that for a long time, Nuwa Lab will be in a state of loss.

But this does not mean that the members of the Nuwa Alliance do not care about the interests that will be affected by this meeting.

The changes in Nuwa's laboratory can affect the interests of the members.

The most obvious example is the Meizu M9...

Later, Lei Jun walked into this private meeting room under the guidance of the waiter.

"Oh, Mr. Fang is short-sighted?"

Hearing Lei Jun's Mandarin with a Xiantao accent, Fang Nian didn't return, and said lazily, "What are you talking about?"

"Huh?" Lei Jun was stunned at the time, this is not like Fang Nian's style, his heart moved, and he smiled: "Is... are you too full?"

"Boss Lei, you've learned how to argue." Fang Nian sighed, "They're both billionaires, and they're all calm when they're reasonable."

Lei Jun smiled: "Anyway, you also like to argue."

Then he said: "And I found that the speech on the Internet is similar to Mr. Fang's tone. 95% of the users of Xiaomi forum are young people, so you have to get used to their behavior patterns first."

Having said that, Lei Jun paused for a while, and suddenly said: "Fang is always teaching me, right?"

Fang Nian quickly waved his hand: "Boss Lei, you are really thinking too much, I just prefer to argue."

"After all... I'm still young, and I can say whatever I want. Anyway, everyone has to listen to it if they like it. Who made me rich now."

At the end, Fang Nian smiled triumphantly.

Lei Jun smiled: "Mr. Fang's heart-piercing methods are more ruthless time after time, heart!"

"..."

In fact, Fang Nian only gets close to each other or only argues among friends.

Lei Jun can be regarded as half a friend.

Fang Nian knew in his heart that if he had to count his age, he might be ten years older than Lei Jun.

Lost youth once, come again, get up early and earn money in the dark wind and rain, you can't go back in vain.

After all, with Lu Weiyu, he doesn't need to be romantic.

Thinking of this, Fang Nian's heart suddenly moved, he looked back at Lei Jun, and asked after consideration: "Should I say a few words after the meeting?"

Lei Jun was puzzled: "?"

"It's a little thing." Fang Nian didn't say much.

At this time, Chen Mingyong walked in under the guidance of the waiter.

Not long after, representatives from the five member companies of the Nuwa Alliance and Fang Nian, the speaker, arrived.

…………

After joking around, Fang Nian sat back at the conference table.

Clearing his throat, Fang Nian said, "This is the meeting I proposed to organize, and I will organize it."

See everyone has no opinion,

Fang Nian went on to say: "There are a few things in Nuwa's laboratory that need to be discussed and decided by everyone."

As he said that, Fang Nian looked at Huang Xiujie: "Before the formal discussion, Mr. Huang, please briefly introduce the sales situation of Meizu M9, including the pre-ordered quantity."

Huang Xiujie was not surprised, and said calmly: "Due to insufficient inventory preparations, only 40,000 units were sold nationwide in the three days of August, September, and October, and all of them were sold out;

The total number of reservations reported by specialty stores in five cities across the country is 118,000;

The total number of pre-orders received on Meizu's official forums is 32,000. "

Having said that, Huang Xiujie looked up at everyone: "I received the market assessment report from the company in the afternoon, and it is estimated that the total purchase demand of users within this month will be 350,000 units;

If the production capacity of the foundry is increased, it is expected that the total sales volume will reach 800,000 before the Spring Festival, far exceeding the previous market forecast. "

After Huang Xiujie's words fell, everyone had their own thoughts.

Lei Jun thought for a while and said, "That is to say, based on the golden sales period of a mobile phone and the influence of Meizu's brand, the total sales of M9 should exceed 3 million units?"

"Maybe around 2 million." Huang Xiujie's answer was still a bit conservative.

Fang Nian sighed inwardly.

In his previous life, he didn't know much about Meizu, but now he understands a little bit. It's really no wonder that Meizu is mixed up like that.

Obviously Huang Xiujie was the first person to be called the Jobs of China.

Obviously Meizu is the king of Android phones.

Obviously Meizu is the number one in China.

Obviously, Meizu has been the first to enter the field of domestic smartphones for several years.

In the years when China's smartphones have been vigorously developed, Meizu has become the other.

really...

This has nothing to do with Huang Xiujie's character.

In Fang Nian's view, according to the current total sales data of Meizu, the total sales of the M9 mobile phone can completely exceed 5 million.

The data given by Lei Jun is already very conservative, and Huang Xiujie is even more conservative.

In addition, Meizu is eloquent, but Huang Xiujie is hesitant about big things.

The M9 skipping ticket king of the year.

Fang Nian knew that in the time and space without Nuwa system, M9 was delayed until January 1, 2011.

With the same conservative sales strategy, pre-orders were still being issued on March 31.

This is not the same thing as Xiaomi's Internet "hunger marketing" later...

Thinking of this in his heart, Fang Nian didn't show any emotion on the surface, but said with a light smile: "The sales of M9 are still very good. From this perspective, the commercialization of the Nuwa system has taken the first step successfully. Do you all agree with this?"

"Mr. Fang is still relatively modest. The performance of the Nuwa system is obvious to all."

"Version 1.3 is completely comparable to Apple's iOS and definitely ahead of Android, but there is still some gap in the number of applications."

"..."

Chen Mingyong, Yu Dadong and others all agreed.

It is already very good that the M9 can have such a predetermined amount of production capacity with such hip stretching.

We must know that the total sales volume of smartphones in China in the first three quarters of 2010 was only more than 20 million, which also includes the Nokia Symbian system series.

And now everyone has an estimate for the total sales volume of M9.

Even Huang Xiujie's conservative estimate accounted for one-tenth of the total in the first three quarters.

Fang Nian said that it was the first step to success, and everyone thought that this was already a great success.

Fang Nian waved his hand: "We are all our own people, so there is no need to boast so much, the biggest commercial difficulty of the Nuwa system at present is the number of applications;

You can also see the efforts made by Nvwa Lab in this regard. The results are not too obvious so far, so we can only take it slowly. "

Having said that, Fang Nian paused for a moment, and then said: "There are a few things that need to be discussed in Nuwa's laboratory:

1. In the future, the main development direction of Nüwa Lab will be autonomous.

2. The form and frequency of Nüwa Lab's system version updates in the future.

3. How should Nüwa Lab cooperate with the alliance in the future. "

After finishing speaking, Fang Nian looked at everyone and said seriously: "Let me explain the first question first.

Everyone knows the financial data of Nuwa Lab. The membership fee paid by Chrysanthemum Factory last month has been fully invested in the research and development of the lab, and it is expected to last until the end of this year;

According to the previously established rules, taking the total sales volume of M9 reaching 2 million as an example, the system authorization fee that Nuwa Lab can collect is only about 25 million before tax;

Because I once promised that the company I founded would not enter the mainstream mobile phone market.

so……"

"Nuwa Lab hopes to have greater autonomy and make certain self-consistent adjustments in development."

After listening to Fang Nian, Lei Jun clearly expressed his support: "I support it unconditionally."

"The development of Frontier Innovation after taking over the Nüwa system is obvious to all. Except for Frontier's own increase in capital investment, most of the development is an attempt with everyone's consent."

"Juchang has no objection." Yu Dadong smiled.

"..."

On this point, of course everyone has no opinion.

Even Huang Xiujie couldn't compare Fang Nian's decisiveness to the frontier.

As for Fang Nian's courage, everyone here counts as a younger brother.

Fang Nian is using practical actions to show that Frontier will either not take the job, or he will do his best if he takes it, and it is definitely not a joke.

The excellence of the Nuwa system also illustrates this point.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Fang Nian also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your support."

Then directly discussed the second question, about version update management.

"I have a report from the Nuwa Lab in my hand. The Nuwa Forum has attracted a large number of brushing enthusiasts and enthusiasts, which actually has a great impact on the in-depth customization of the UI of the alliance member companies;

Now that the Nuwa system has officially started commercial use, the Nuwa laboratory is also willing to transfer these resources, which can also reduce the maintenance cost of the laboratory. "

Lei Jun was once again the first to express his support with a clear-cut stand: "Xiaomi first thank Mr. Fang for his kindness, and we can discuss a new version update plan."

"Meizu also thanks Mr. Fang for his support to the alliance." Huang Xiujie said hastily.

"..."

No one will refuse, even Opal and Vivo, which have slightly weak R\u0026D capabilities.

This is something that is very beneficial to everyone, and Fang Nian is willing to directly bring it up, and they are happy not to make bad faces.

After all, no one is stupid, and can understand the attraction of Nuwa Forum to users.

This is not conducive to the internal development of alliance members with their own unique UI.

Yu Dadong pondered for a while, and then said: "I have an idea, Nuwa Lab can update Android like Google."

"It's too radical. To be honest, the current version 1.3 of the Nuwa system is still not as good as Android." Fang Nian said softly.

Huang Xiujie pondered and said: "Mr. Fang also makes sense. After all, Nuwa Lab does not have the resources of Google, so most hardware manufacturers can cooperate."

"..."

Finally, after several discussions, a plan that everyone can accept was determined.

From now on, Nuwa Lab will only release new versions through the Nuwa Forum.

The version is limited to the development and beta version, and the stable version is only updated within the alliance.

The frequency of releasing new versions to the outside world has been changed to once every two weeks.

The frequency of releasing the stable version internally is determined by Nüwa Lab at its own discretion.

However, Fang Nian took the initiative to propose that the internal release of the stable version before version 2.0 should still be done every two weeks.

Fang Nian said with emotion: "Actually, I personally hope to be able to update to version 2.0 on January 1st, but it is very difficult to do;

You can look forward to it, there will be major innovations in version 2.0, and it will definitely not disappoint. "

"..."

Then there is the third thing proposed by Nuwa Lab.

on how to cooperate.

Huang Xiujie said embarrassingly: "Mr. Lu has a unique talent in Internet marketing. It's because Meizu was not prepared. I didn't expect Mr. Fang to be willing to talk about this matter openly."

Hearing this, Fang Nianxin said: 'I'm just doing it for balance, otherwise, this alliance will be easily broken, otherwise why should I waste all my energy. '

On the surface, Fang Nian smiled and said: "The Nuwa Lab was originally established to serve the alliance's internal services. Although it is suffering a huge loss now, it will definitely be profitable in the future. Even if it makes a profit, everyone will feed it."

"Boss Fang is too modest."

"That's right, the excellence of Nuwa's system is very likely to make Frontier the second Microsoft."

"..."

Yu Dadong joked: "If Mr. Fang is willing to make mobile phones, we may have nothing to do with us."

Although he did not participate in the first alliance meeting, he could guess that this should be Fang Nian's voluntary concession.

Lei Jun echoed: "Mr. Yu may not be very clear about it. Mr. Fang has never liked to do complicated things."

Fang Nian was happy, and waved his hands again and again: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Lei, don't be so direct."

Then he said with a serious face: "Making mobile phones is really too troublesome. Just looking at the hardships of Xiaomi's supply chain, I am not interested, and my frontier angel invested in Xiaomi and Meizu, so it can be regarded as making mobile phones. "

"Ha ha……"

"It can be regarded as sitting back and enjoying it..."

"..."

Everyone laughed.

The meeting atmosphere has always been relaxed.

Although these simple things involve a lot of interests.

The cooperation plan that was finally discussed was not complicated.

Simply put, there are two points.

One is when the alliance member's first mobile phone equipped with the Nüwa system is launched, the Nüwa Lab cooperates in the promotion.

The second is that Nvwa Lab cooperates with the mobile phones produced by alliance members to carry out targeted system adjustments.

The second point is to negotiate and charge service fees depending on the situation.

"..."

After that, everyone also raised some other questions.

After friendly consultations, a consensus was reached.

For Nüwa Lab, the result of this meeting is a process of decompression and a process of transferring some benefits.

Nuwa Lab can be said to have taken a step back.

The posture is very clear, that is, Nuwa Lab will focus more on the development of perfect system.

Rather than competing with alliance members for profit.

That's fine.

only……

Fang Nian deliberately skipped one thing.

That is, although the Nuwa system is open source to alliance members and supports deep customization of the UI, it restricts any form of external service framework changes.

which is:

There will only be one Nuwa mobile service framework, and there will only be one Nuwa application store.

This thing is the golden rooster that is likely to lay eggs.

It is very likely that it will bring tens of billions of profits to Nuwa Lab in a year.

Because this thing is equivalent to Google's GMS and Apple's AppStore.

It's just that now GMS and AppStore have not shown terrible profitability.

So Fang Nian skipped mentioning it, and everyone didn't take it to heart.

All in all, since Fang Nian officially got involved in the business field in his life, he has never cared about the immediate interests, and even actively transferred the current interests.

The most successful case so far is the 91 Wireless M\u0026A case.

At the beginning, 22 million yuan was exchanged for 42% of the shares, and then Guan Qiuhe was eager to ask for advice. After half a year, he got 3 billion yuan in exchange.

so……

It is true that Fang Nian likes to make friends with people when doing business, and it is also true to transfer benefits.

But he doesn't really think about others that much, nor does he treat everyone like a fool.

But Fang Nian is more patient than almost everyone else and is willing to wait for a longer-term harvest.

In the face of the benefits that can be obtained in front of them, most people are willing to be fools.

After all, the essence of the win-win philosophy that Fang Nian believes in is actually:

Although everyone earns, I will always earn the most.

After the meeting, Fang Nian mentioned: "At nine o'clock in a while, Nvwa Lab will officially release a browser-based open source system on GitHub. The kernel is different from Nvwa's system. Watch it."

"..."

The last update in October, fortunately, it was before 12 o'clock.

PS: There is nothing to summarize this month. In a word, I tried my best to finish this book at the original pace. Thank you for your support.
