1991 Starting from the core

After Su Yuanshan and Pony introduced the copycat mobile phone, Zhang Xiaolong and Ding Lei looked at each other - they really didn't know what use a few hundred yuan worth of gadgets could have, and what they could pay attention to.

Especially after this kind of mobile phones flooded the mobile phone shops in counties and towns, it had a negative impact and impact on branded smartphones - just like the assembled TVs more than ten or twenty years ago.

"Mr. Shan, apart from making people think that the profits of branded mobile phones are too high and reducing their desire to buy them, does this have no benefit?" Ding Lei saw that Su Yuanshan was quite happy and couldn't help but said: "And every penny is worth it. Damn it, I’m afraid this thing can’t run various applications smoothly, right?”

"Well, that's the case on the surface." Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile.

“But we have to look beyond the surface.”

Ding Lei was startled: "What can you see?"

"Seeing that the emergence of this kind of copycat mobile phone means at least two things. First, the hardware cost of mobile phones can indeed be reduced even more - especially after there are new profit channels, such as APP pre-installation, and then By expanding shipments, we can occupy the app store’s traffic share and obtain generous app download and payment dividends.”

"Second, it also means that, at least in the field of mobile phones, domestic industrial production capacity and industrial chain have reached a new height."

"Don't think that because you are engaged in the Internet and IT, you don't have to worry about the improvement of domestic industrial capabilities and the impact of the country's industrialization. All your current achievements are based on the new round of industrial revolution based on semiconductors and carriers. Above the climax.”

"Information technology revolution." Su Yuanshan said the definition given in the textbook: "We are in the process of information technology revolution, and it is difficult to accurately realize where we are in this revolution and what to do next - —So we have to jump out and see.”

The three people looked at each other and looked at Su Yuanshan at the same time.

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "In the past, I have been calling for mobile Internet. Yuanxin is also deploying on mobile Internet. Internet companies with foresight at home and abroad are also slowly transforming... But no one knows, including me. It’s not clear when the mobile Internet will take that iconic step.”

"now I know."

"Cheap smartphones, cheap and high-speed mobile data networks, and mushrooming mobile phone applications. When these three come together, we can say with certainty that the real revolution of the mobile Internet has really arrived."

"And that day, I think, will only take three years at most - after that, each of our Internet companies will realize that mobile is the future. Who occupies this small 4.7-inch screen? Only then can we grasp the future.”

"After that, if a user-oriented service Internet company still focuses on the PC desktop platform... it will be fine for it to survive, but it will be impossible to become an Internet giant."

Su Yuanshan looked at the three of them: "This is the greatest advice and prediction I can give you."

…

The three Internet giants and Su Yuanshan broke up downstairs in the administration building.

"Eat in the cafeteria? Or where to eat?"

Zhang Xiaolong held the car keys and looked at the two of them - because he had always stayed at Yuanxin Group, even if the Internet Center was separated, he would still retain his identity as the vice president of Yuanxin, so he also settled here. Therefore, when the three giants gather in the science and technology park, he is always responsible for arranging food and accommodation.

Ding Lei and Pony looked at each other: "Instead of going to the big cafeteria, go to the small cafeteria over there at the R\u0026D center. I heard that Mr. Tian and his team are doing very well in the cafeterias there."

"OK."

Zhang Xiaolong successfully drove the car to the side of the road.

Naturally, his car is also a Yuanxin Mosana, but it is a full high-end version - the one that cost him 300,000 oceans under various internal discounts and subsidies.

Walking along the road in the park, if you look at it from a normal perspective, there is actually no trace of "corporate" atmosphere here, whether it is the fitness equipment and rest corridors that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, or the distant scenery. The basketball court and football field make this place look like a large residential complex with complete facilities and great popularity.

Five minutes later, the three of them arrived at the artificial lake. Zhang Xiaolong found a spot at the artificial lake and parked the car.

"Aren't you afraid that Mr. Fu's people will drag you away when you stop?" Ding Lei joked when he saw his arrogant position.

——The number of people in the Yuanxin headquarters, including family members, has long exceeded 100,000, and everyone who "works" at home has a high income. It can be regarded as a wealthy community in the entire provincial capital and even the entire country—— If all the big guys who own houses here are included, it would probably be the neighborhood with the highest average wealth, no one else.

In such a residential area, of course there must be rules. But it is impossible for other security companies to intervene, or for other authorities to interfere too much. Therefore, the logistics department has to worry a lot in order to keep the community running normally. In addition to Su Yuanshan's personal security, Fu Zhenhua's official identity is Yuanxin. The vice president of logistics is responsible for the Yuanxin fleet and is also responsible for the traffic management in the science and technology park.

"Brother Long's license plate is within a hundred digits, so it should be fine." Pony glanced at Zhang Xiaolong's license plate and chuckled.

Zhang Xiaolong’s license plate is A-YX079.

As we all know, A-YX is a number section specially reserved for Yuanxin in the provincial capital. The closer it is to the front, the more it means the car owner's status is outstanding.

"Well...it's not about the number plate or anything, it's mainly because I know the patrol route well, and no one is watching here before three o'clock in the afternoon. Besides, Brother Fu is towing a truck, who else is there to care about?"

Ding Lei laughed: "That's right."

——He was the first among the three to join Yuanxin, and he was still in Jiangdu Building at that time, and he and several classmates came to Yuanxin for internship before they graduated. Knowing Fu Zhenhua's outstanding status, he really doesn't need to consider anyone's face...

While the three of them were chatting, Ding Lei met a few acquaintances from the past and exchanged greetings with each other before going up to the small restaurant on the third floor.

Then as soon as he came up, the sharp-eyed Ding Lei saw Li Yinan and two subordinates sitting at a table, talking seriously.

"Damn it, Mr. Li is here." When he saw Li Yinan, Ding Lei called out in a low voice, "Don't he stay in the office every day?"

Pony gave Ding Lei a strange look - among the three people, he was the only one who had no experience working at the science park headquarters. Although he had heard about Li Yinan's style, he still didn't quite understand why Ding Lei looked a little embarrassed.

However, Zhang Xiaolong smiled slightly: "Just say hello. You can't help but say hello when you see me."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaolong smiled and waved over there: "Mr. Li, where are you eating?"

Li Yinan raised his head and was startled for a moment when he saw the three of them. Then a rare smile appeared on his face and he nodded to the three of them: "You are coming to eat too? Xiao Ding, are you here too?"

"Mr. Li, we are here for a meeting." Ding Lei coughed lightly, walked up to Li Yinan, shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaolong said the food here is delicious, so he came over to try it. No." I thought I could meet you."

"Well, the food here is not bad." Li Yinan nodded, and looked at a few more people: "Is there anything you need help with?"

"Uh, no."

"Okay." Li Yinan nodded again without being polite and continued chatting with his subordinates.

…

After the three of them found their seats and sat down, Pony looked at Ding Lei curiously.

"Old Ding, were you working under Mr. Li back then?"

"Isn't that right..." Ding Lei coughed again and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li is notoriously difficult to serve, damn... you guys caught up with the great diversion of Yuanxin's business. I joined Yuanxin. At that time, there was no planning here, and everyone was crowded into the Jiangdu Building... Then Mr. Tian and his people worked day and night to engage in joint development with Howard. Well... I was lucky enough to be assigned to his old man at that time... …”

Pony and Zhang Xiaolong looked at him with smiles, as if they were all ears.

Ding Lei was speechless: "What expressions do you two have?"

"I want to hear the history of how you were caught by Mr. Li."

"Hey, in fact, I didn't get caught much... It's just that the communication technology team was not yet profitable at that time. Although Mr. Youshan always supported me, no matter it was the team size, R\u0026D funds or year-end rewards, I never treated him badly. But no one has any The team that returned the reward had the highest R\u0026D funds... This made everyone feel uncomfortable, right? So at that time, everyone was holding back their energy and didn't care much."

As he spoke, Ding Lei looked back at Li Yinan's back, shook his head and said with a smile: "What's more, Mr. Li just has a bad temper for grabbing people. It doesn't matter whether you are wrong or not, it all depends on his mood." That kind of thing, plus he’s already awesome...so it’s okay.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong said leisurely: "Mr. Li is really awesome. Among the eight giants in the Science and Technology Committee, which one is not awesome? And besides the five giants in the Science and Technology Committee, Mr. Li was the first to be nominated... and Mr. Shan and others And they were called the Big Six for a long time.”

The five giants at the beginning of the establishment of the Science and Technology Committee were Su Yuanshan, Xi Xiaoding, Qin Weimin, Tian Yaoming, and Li Mingliu. Then when the candidates were expanded for the first time, Li Yinan was unanimously approved. After that, the structure of the Big Six continued for a long time until Gao Xiaodi and Liang Mengsong joined to form the Big Eight structure that continues to this day.

If you look at the status and achievements of these eight people, you will know that it is really more difficult to join the Science and Technology Committee than to be an academician. It is said that the reason why Chen Gang of YOS Laboratory has been reluctant to join the executive board is because he wants to Go to the Science and Technology Committee.

"Well, so...our Yuanxin is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

Ding Lei sighed, and then said seriously: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about business. What President Shan said just now, do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Xiaolong and Pony looked at each other and asked at the same time: "What do you mean by thoughts?"

"It's just...fuck, you two...are you thinking about the next step?"

After taking the food from the waiter, Zhang Xiaolong grabbed his chopsticks, pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "What I can confirm is that from now on, both you and us must focus on future development. The mobile phone business has started. As for me, I should still focus on my old business and then come up with the product I envisioned in the morning."

After hearing the morning's idea, Pony glanced at him faintly: "How about you lead the team and leave to come to me? I will make you the King of Side by Side."

"Hahaha. Are you really aware of the crisis?"

"It's true." Pony nodded: "Unlike you, I have been engaged in instant messaging for ten years. I know what EM's dilemma is... I also know that it is difficult for EM to turn around now... Even if We have deliberately simplified the functional size of EM, but we are all listed companies and we all know that sometimes we have to do it ourselves for reporting purposes."

Ding Lei glanced at Zhang Xiaolong and then touched Pony: "Then you can make a simplified version of EM?"

"There is this idea, but for users, EM's model is destined to fail to achieve disruptive changes in its social way. This is not a problem of EM's functional size, but...a problem of software temperament. EM was born on the PC The platform has matured after ten years of development..." Pony shook his head and sighed: "I'm a little jealous of Brother Long."

"Bah, you are jealous of me, and I am jealous of you. How can you say that Weibo has more than 100 million users?" Zhang Xiaolong glanced at Pony: "Boss Shan still relies on you to compete with Ye Zi."

"Ahem...yes, when it comes to this, I also have an opinion." Ding Lei looked at the two of them and showed a jealous expression.

"Both of you, everyone has monopoly-level products and platforms. Especially you, Pony, don't look at me with innocent eyes - EM, Weibo, EM Mini Game Center, which one is not a monopoly level on the entire network? But I...have no shit."

"Come on, global portals, Newbook is now the dominant one, and your news client has already exceeded 100 million users..."

"There is no development potential." Ding Lei also showed a bitter look on his face.

Zhang Xiaolong watched the two performers with a smile.

"Finished? Then it's my turn." Zhang Xiaolong chuckled: "Among the three of us, I have the lowest market value. What did I say?"

Ding Lei immediately said: "But you are the most profitable."

"Does your game make money?" Zhang Xiaolong immediately asked.

"..."

Pony looked at the two of them and suddenly exhaled: "You two, Mr. Shan is right. Since the era of comprehensive mobile phone penetration has arrived, then all products must be transferred to mobile phones. So, what do you think? How about going full-scale into mobile gaming?”

Ding Lei frowned slightly: "Can you beat Wang Xingang?"

Wang Xingang, CEO of Zhiyou. Zhiyou is currently the “dominant” company in domestic mobile games. Legend has it that Zhiyou has seven teams working on mobile games at the same time, known as Calabash Baby.

Not only did it produce popular and even sensational mobile games such as Fruit Ninja, Temple Run, and Mountain Express, it also actively worked with traditional game manufacturers on IP joint development and porting, such as Fairy Sword and Swordsman, which have been put on mobile phones. .

"What if I spend money to make a AAA masterpiece on my mobile phone?"
