My Return to Life

The weather in Shencheng is getting colder day by day.

This week has not seen a sustained sunny, basically cloudy.

Walking on the campus, the autumn wind only blew gently, and a few leaves were rolled down and slowly fell to the feet.

Fang Nian wrapped up his clothes.

"Hiss~" sounded.

I accidentally took a breath.

If he hadn't walked into the school, walked into the classroom, and heard Su Zhi chatting with Luo Qiao, Fang Nian would have almost forgotten that today is Singles' Day.

I almost forgot that today is the second "Double Eleven Shopping Festival" promoted by Ali.

"You have been busy for so long at midnight last night, what are you rushing to buy?"

"Some snacks!"

"Food!"

"how about you?"

"I didn't buy anything, so I can only spend Singles' Day."

"..."

"Fang Nian, did you participate in the panic buying last night?"

Seeing Su Zhi looking over, Fang Nian shook his head and said no.

With Fangnian's current personal wealth, he rarely needs to use online shopping.

Mainly it's troublesome.

At present, the overall quality of various online shopping platforms is relatively poor.

If you want to buy something of high quality, the time you need to waste will be considerable.

So much so that even Ali had to spin off two different sites, Taobao and Taobao Mall.

Fang Nian also learned about Double Eleven Ali’s sales from the Internet.

Much hotter than last year.

Taobao Mall alone produced the first '5 million yuan store' at 0:39 today.

only……

This series of news was overshadowed by the impact of the two content releases of Nuwa Lab.

"I don't know how Mr. Ma is doing today?"

"It's a piece of news worth writing about. I didn't expect that it didn't even make it to the top ten of the search rankings."

"It's a bit too coincidental!"

"Accidentally stole everyone's limelight."

Fang Nian muttered a few words in his heart.

It can be regarded as unintentional insertion.

Coincidentally, Nuwa Lab released new content on the evening of the 10th, which aroused massive public attention.

Although the sales of this Double Eleven are acceptable, the corresponding influence of public opinion has been curbed to a certain extent.

It is not conducive to Ali's continued promotion of the "shopping festival" of Double Eleven.

Coincidentally, after one class was over, Fang Nian heard shouts from several male students in other classes.

"Everyone, hurry up and check Weibo! Mi Chat officially landed on Android and Apple platforms at 2:00 p.m., and at the same time launched a million-dollar bonus campaign to collect new names!"

"..."

Good guy, before the limelight of Nuwa Lab is over, Mi Chat has come out to join in the fun again, this is not giving others a chance at all!

Fang Nian was not surprised that Lei Jun had such a quick reaction.

In addition, I was afraid that there would be no sound when Michat logged on to the other two major operating system platforms, so I simply adopted Fang Nian's proposal, and at the same time used the "million bonus" as a gimmick to solicit new names for the software.

Knowing that Lei Jun can play so well, Fang Nian feels quite relieved.

It's better than Meizu's Huang Xiujie.

The name Mi Chat may indeed be detrimental to promotion after it grows, but it is not necessarily detrimental.

Although Fang Nian withdrew from the mainstream stage in his life.

But the reasons are diverse, not just because of the strong millet gene.

There were discussions in the classroom.

"What's the specific situation? Tell me quickly?"

"It's the official statement of Mi Talk that in order to better follow the open spirit of the Internet, we specially solicit a new and more open software name for promotion, focusing on simplicity and catchy."

"It's so simple? How do you participate and how do you judge the award?"

"The easiest way is to participate directly in the associated MIUI forum through Michat software, or to participate in the MIUI forum through a browser;

The name with the most support votes will be officially adopted by Mi Chat, and all forms of swiping votes are strictly prohibited. At the same time, the proposer will receive a cash reward of 1 million, and other participants will also receive certain encouragement.

The deadline is November 18.

"

"One million for one name? This is easier than collecting logos for the Olympics!"

"Michao is really rich!"

"If anyone can sign up, I want to try it too."

"..."

Soliciting brand names, brand logos, brand designs, etc., the proposals are similar.

Anyway, it's nothing more than submitting your own ideas and you're done.

Mi Chat's plan is not complicated. For example, if many people submit the same name, it will be counted as the vote for the first submission.

In the end, if the name gets the most votes, Mi Chat will also give a sense of participation.

But it won't be any cash rewards or anything, it's permissions such as internal test early adopter qualifications and so on.

Anyway...

Whoever takes the lead is the best, there is no absolute fairness at all.

Fang Nian admired Lei Jun's decision-making efficiency.

After weighing the pros and cons for one night and half a day, he finally chose to adopt Fang Nian's proposal.

What it ends up being called doesn't matter.

The important thing is that this name is recognized by the most people and is the most open.

What's more, with a bonus of one million, the advertising effect is comparable to tens of millions.

And not only to promote Mi Chat, by participating in the MIUI forum, MIUI and the forum are also promoted by the way.

In short, before the Xiaomi mobile phone comes out, all the software under Xiaomi can benefit from it.

It will gather more experience users and enthusiasts for MIUI, bring greater activity to the MIUI forum, and promote Michat on the Android and iOS platforms as quickly as possible.

At least it is foreseeable that the corresponding strong attention in public cyberspace will continue until November 18.

These……

Just spend a million, and you'll have it all.

I have to say, the handling was really thoughtful, and the timing was better at this point, one week, so it wouldn't cause too much hostility.

Lei Jun is awesome.

"..."

Taking advantage of the time after class, Fang Nian also went to the MIUI forum to have a look.

The page for soliciting names is very eye-catching, as soon as you enter the forum, you can see that the number of replies has exceeded 500,000.

Countless names entered the candidate ballot.

There are English naming methods similar to QQ, such as line, inline, yiyi, erer, SS.

There are also names like Michat, Weibo, Fetion, SMS, and MMS.

Such as micro chat, short chat, color chat, WeChat, SMS, simple chat, colorful chat, mutual chat, and chat.

Even Fang Nian feels...

Mr. Lei played a bit too big this time.

The main thing is to start Michat on the Nuwa system first, so that users who have experienced it feel that it is not bad, and have a certain user base.

Secondly, the software function is very good.

Then to promote the opportunity to Android and iOS, we will hold a name-calling event.

It is foreseeable that all the names that are associated with socializing, chatting, etc. in China from now to maybe ten or twenty years in the future can be taken out.

You know this is 1 million.

I flipped through the list of candidate names casually, and looked at the tens of thousands of comments that had been added in a while.

Fang Nian specially sent a message to Lei Jun through Michat: "Boss Lei is awesome!"

Lei Jun quickly replied: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Fang is still looking ahead, and I will come to the door another day to thank you."

"Remember to bring a gift." Fang Nian's reply was very shameless.

Lei Jun: "That is necessary."

Fang Nian: "So if you really want to compete in the mall, I'm not your opponent at all."

Lei Jun: "?"

Fang Nian: "Even if Goose Factory wants to launch similar software immediately, it has to wait for the limelight of Mi Talk to pass. Otherwise, whichever name it uses will cause a lot of disputes, and even if it launches similar software later, it will be directly overwhelmed."

Lei Jun: "Didn't President Fang teach me this?"

Fang Nian: "Boss Lei, your heart is broken!"

"..."

Fang Nian didn't teach Lei Jun to play like this.

He is not so bad.

He will not use such means.

because……

He doesn't know how to make social software, he's not tired enough!

All in all, all in all, as far as the moment is concerned, this wave of Xiaomi is too comfortable.

and……

Fang Nian himself expects that the name with the highest number of votes will be WeChat.

Because it could be tantamount to...

Stolen the luck that originally belonged to the goose factory?

As for the Jiaoer Goose Factory, does it have anything to do with Fang Nian? He is not the owner of Xiaomi.

And now who knows that your goose factory is going to engage in WeChat behind the scenes?

"..."

…………

…………

When Fang Nian walked into the front office again, everyone was there.

Guan Qiuhe came back after finishing his inspection work.

Lu Weiyu went to Zhangjiang Frontier Innovation in the afternoon and came back.

Liu Xi also finished today's class and came to the company.

Wen Ye, Gu Yu, and Wu Fucheng are all busy sorting out various materials and preparing for the next affairs that need to be dealt with.

If you go a few months earlier, such a neat scene is rare in the frontier.

Chatted a few words about Michao.

Everyone at the frontier can see the essence through the phenomenon, and they all think that in this environment, Xiaomi's operation is simple.

Everyone even thought it was Fang Nian's instigation.

Fang Nian said that everyone underestimated Lei Jun, and also revealed the reasons behind the scenes.

"Don't think too much, Xiaomi is launching the same software in the preparatory goose factory."

"..."

It's just that Fang Nian didn't expect it. After saying this, everyone believed that Fang Nian was manipulating all this.

"Yes, it's true, you persuaded Ma Poli to open up with one hand, and persuaded Lei Jun with the other, tsk..."

"..."

After chatting for a few words, Lu Weiyu also brought up the business.

She brought the news that Fang Nian wanted to hear.

It took almost a month for the team of professors at the Baize Chip Lab to sort out the technical difficulties and patents needed to design a high-end smartphone chip from scratch.

After receiving the files that had been sorted out, Fang Nian sighed, "It's finally one day earlier than the scheduled Friday before leaving get off work."

While opening the document, Fang Nian said, "It's been a month since I and Sun Shu proposed to build a high-end mobile smart chip design institute in Luzhou;

If it weren't for renting a large office space and starting the preparatory preparations for the construction of the office building, Sun Shu would have thought that I would not be able to do things well because of my lack of talk. "

Lu Weiyu sighed: "I didn't expect the professors' team to take such a long time to organize. It's hard to embarrass Wen Mi and Liu Xi's previous classes."

"..."

It's not Lu Weiyu's fault.

Neither Dangkang nor the frontier department has the evaluation level in this regard.

The chip thing is a technical job.

It's just that Wen Ye and the others were in a hurry.

After rushing back to Shencheng from Luzhou overnight on the 10th of last month, Fang Nian arranged the affairs the next day.

At that time, Wen Ye and Liu Xi, including Gu Yu, were in a hurry and worked overtime to make a new plan, but they were stranded in the end.

The financial problem was not the main reason at that time.

Although Fang Nian said it was a tens of billions project, but he would not treat anyone as a fool, the plan belongs to the plan, and there must be some available information.

Otherwise, how to persuade the Luzhou region headed by Sun Shu?

Later, because there was no report, Fang Nian discussed with everyone, and then asked Lu Weiyu to go to Luzhou to implement the office space of Bai Ze Laboratory and other preliminary work.

At least there is a solid framework, so it can be delayed for a while.

Later, after Li Robin contacted him, Fang Nian quickly adjusted the plan, and asked Frontier Innovation to talk about buying land to build a R\u0026D center in the West Lake area of ​​Shu.

The price of 300 mu of R\u0026D industrial land is 300,000 per mu, and the first payment is 20%, which is 18 million.

The cutting edge was still available at that time, let alone now.

So now the R\u0026D center is under construction following the frontier institute of the University of Science and Technology of China.

Ok……

The R\u0026D center has not yet been named.

It certainly cannot be called cutting-edge innovation directly, and there is a high probability that it will not be called Baize Lab on a Chip directly.

But it's not something that needs to be rushed.

The construction of the building still takes time, and the overall estimate of the construction period has not yet been released.

but……

Much smoother than Dangkang Games in Shenchenggai Industrial Park.

The land was taken down, but the subsequent surveying, mapping and design are still in the process.

"..."

Not long after, Fang Nian finished flipping through the documents, frowned slightly, and said, "I still underestimated the difficulty of chip design."

Then he looked at everyone: "Have you seen all of them, tell me?"

Wen Ye was the first to speak: "Although the report submitted by the professor's group is based on the design of a completely independent high-end mobile device chip from scratch, even if the condition of starting from scratch is screened out and the public version architecture license is obtained from arm It also involves very complicated work;

First of all, I think that Bai Ze Lab needs to acquire an experienced team. "

Gu Yu continued: "On the other hand, according to the comparison, the relevant research projects invested by frontier academics only account for a small part. According to preliminary estimates, it is best to complete the project establishment within this year;

This item requires the full operation of the frontier academic company, and it is initially estimated that a total of 2 billion yuan will be invested in research funds. "

Guan Qiuhe pondered: "The core issue is patents. According to the current cognition of the professor group, there are absolutely no way to bypass the necessary patents that need to be authorized. Some of them are held by domestic companies, but most of them are foreign ones. ,so……"

"Frontier innovation requires the formation of a large negotiating team to negotiate various patent authorizations."

"..."

Wu Fucheng also expressed his opinion: "Frontier innovation and cutting-edge academic teams need to work together."

"..."

Everyone talked to me, and quickly dismantled the contents of the report into work contents.

Very complicated.

It is so complicated that it is the most complicated event when Dang Kang and Frontier combined so far.

The people and things involved are also unprecedented.

If it is completely resolved by internal personnel, cutting-edge innovation must at least recruit a team of more than 300 people to deal with affairs.

After dismantling, everyone looked at Fang Nian.

Wen Ye smiled and said: "Mr. Fang, how long did you prepare this plan in advance? I found that some academic research projects that I didn't know why you wanted to apply for were covered by the report."

"And I think it's a little exaggerated to build a 300-acre R\u0026D center in Luzhou from the very beginning, but now I realize that everything seems to be arranged." Gu Yu also said with a smile.

There are probably expressions of worship and admiration in the eyes.

Fang Nian shook his head, couldn't help curling his lips and said, "I said, did you collectively lose your memory?"

"The first step of Baize Lab's plan is to use the public architecture to design a chip comparable to Apple's A4. That is to say, there are many things that can be ignored directly, and the arm company can handle it."

"..."

After a short pause, Fang Nian looked at the crowd and said, "Since everyone is clear, let's divide the work first."

Then directly arranged: "Wen Mi, you are ready to go abroad with Mr. Guan when he thinks it is appropriate."

"Xiaogu and Brother Angus will sort out domestic semiconductor companies and provide a sufficiently accurate list. Then I will discuss acquisitions."

"President Lu takes the lead in coordinating all aspects of the work, cooperating with the cutting-edge and innovative team, and making the Baize Lab run."

"Liu Xi financial support."

"It's still the same sentence, slow is fast, and fast is slow. The professor's team has delayed for so long this time, and the result is still very ideal."

"..."

PS: There will be another one in a while, don't worry, it's all for a meal
