Chapter 396: Nuwa Innovates the 'World'
Lunch is arranged in a very high-end restaurant.
It can be called a full seat of the Manchu and Han Dynasty.
There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Compared with the previous two meetings, Huang Xiujie was obviously polite: "Small place, poor hospitality, and looking at Mr. Fang Haihan." ”
Fang Nian smiled and said, "Mr. Huang is too polite." ”
“......”
After sitting down and moving the chopsticks, small talk began.
Huang Xiujie told Lei Yan about the customs of Zhuhai.
Fang Nian interjected: "Speaking of which, Mr. Lei spent his youth in Zhuhai, right?"
"Pretty much, when I left Jinshan, Hengqin had not yet been included in Zhuhai. Lei Yan replied with a smile, "Now Zhuhai is getting bigger and bigger." ”
Fang Nian asked curiously: "Why didn't Mr. Lei want to stay in Zhuhai when he started his business, the economic conditions here are also very good." ”
"I'm also familiar with the capital. Lei Yan smiled.
Huang Xiujie glanced at Fang Nian and said with a smile: "Fang always forgot that Mr. Lei still has the identity of the Political 1st Association, right?"
Fang Nian pursed his lips: "It turns out that everyone is a big guy, only I am a student, no wonder it is difficult to make a claim." ”
"Mr. Fang hasn't forgotten what happened last night?" Hearing this, Huang Xiujie was happy.
He likes to surf the Internet very much, and he is still a Zuan player, so he is not a big deal to watch the excitement by nature.
Fang Nian said with a serious face: "This kind of thing is not so easy to forget. ”
"Hahaha~" Lei Yan laughed.
“......”
As he spoke, he talked about the itinerary again.
"Mr. Fang isn't going back to Shencheng tonight, right?" asked Lei Yan with a smile.
Fang Nian thought for a moment and replied, "You should be going back to Shencheng, haven't you already let you exploit me?" ”
"Tomorrow Monday, I have to go back to school. ”
Huang Xiujie was happy: "I think it's okay." ”
"Okay, then I'm fine. Lei Yan said helplessly.
“......”
After the meal, the three of them discussed, so they didn't go to the lunch break, and went back to the Meizu headquarters directly.
............
............
In the afternoon, the office of the chairman of Meizu.
Lei Yan didn't hesitate much, and directly mentioned the matter: "Regarding the matter of investing in Meizu, how does Mr. Fang think about it now." ”
Before Fang Nian could speak, Huang Xiujie preemptively said: "I personally think that the issue of shares is not properly arranged, and Meizu sincerely invites Mr. Fang to become Meizu's honorary strategic decision-maker;
But 5% is a bit too low!"
Fang Nian glanced at Huang Xiujie helplessly: "Mr. Huang, isn't 5% enough?"
"Think about it, if Meizu grows into a company worth $10 billion one day, 5% is $500 million!"
He shook his head amusedly: "I was still nervous before I came, but now this change is too realistic." ”
At this time, Lei Yan interjected before Huang Xiujie: "Fang is always useless, let's come as agreed." ”
"Okay. Huang Xiujie gave up the matter of entanglement.
Fang Nian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You guys are in a hurry to give me shares, which makes me a little frightened." ”
"In addition to the 5% permanent shares, Mr. Fang will invest another 10%. Lei Yan groaned and said, "I will invest 15%, and the remaining 5% can be agreed to pay at a little time, what does Mr. Huang think." ”
Huang Xiujie thought for a while and nodded: "With 200 million cash, Meizu has enough ability to tear down everything before and start over." ”
"If there is no problem, we signed a memorandum of cooperation first, and the cooperation will not delay too much time, I think Mr. Huang is also very interested in the second half of the graffiti work. Lei Yan said directly.
Huang Xiujie was the first to say: "I have no opinion. ”
Seeing this, Fang Nian spread his hands: "You have all decided, what other opinions can I have." ”
"Mr. Lei, Mr. Huang, aren't you afraid that in the agreed time, I won't be able to take out another 50 million?"
Lei Yan smiled: "Mr. Fang, we all know that we are greedy for fun, and it's just 50 million." ”
"Yes. Huang Xiujie nodded.
To be honest, this month's greedy development is really wild, and according to the sales volume of the platform, non-reserve cash should be very abundant.
Not long after, Huang Xiujie took a document.
Fang Nian couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it: "You guys have premeditated it, just wait for me to sign!"
"5%+10%, is there any problem?" Huang Xiujie said as a matter of course.
“......”
The three of them signed their names on different documents and reached a memorandum of cooperation.
The rest of the thing is to formally sign the contract, and the investment money and so on will be received, which has nothing to do with Fang Nian.
............
After this incident was over, Lei Yan almost immediately raised the question.
"Mr. Fang, I'll be straightforward, developing a new smartphone operating system is not complicated, in the past month, Xiaomi has basically completed the kernel development;
However, it can only be regarded as a draft, and there are many problems that need to be solved urgently, which is why I came to Zhuhai to find Mr. Huang, and I hope that we can share some resources. ”
Speaking of this, Lei Yan glanced at Fang Nian: "But, Mr. Fang, you have provided some new ideas today. ”
"Maybe we have another way of sharing resources. Huang Xiujie couldn't wait to interject.
"I have a draft of the UI (user interface) design of m9 here, which is based on the in-depth customization of the Android system, which means that we have more mature experience in UI design. ”
Lei Yan hurriedly said: "Xiaomi's original intention was to carry out in-depth customization for Android, and we also have corresponding mature experience at this level. ”
Seeing this, Fang Nian felt a little funny in his heart, and said: "I think that since it is cooperation, it is better to talk about it openly;
In my opinion, user interface design is something that every company aspiring to make a smartphone needs to customize itself, and it must have its own elements;
For example, Android deep customization, theoretically speaking, it can even derive a better file system, deeper permission restrictions, operation smoothness and so on;
Therefore, in the early stage, most of the users who depend on their respective user feedback and experience, in this regard, Meizu does have an advantage. ”
Hearing this, Lei Yan immediately said: "But that's a normal situation, not including the draft you gave." ”
"Yes, if it develops normally, it does look at user feedback and experience in the early stage, but now Mr. Fang has almost omitted this step. ”
Huang Xiujie said with emotion: "I agree with Mr. Lei's point of view, strictly speaking, Meizu has been doing UI design for so long, and even seeing that the 91 assistant is on fire, I never thought of making an app store." ”
Speaking of this, Huang Xiujie hesitated: "It's not ......"
"Mr. Fang, you have invested in 91 Assistant, why do you want to emphasize that there must be a 'System Mobility Service' option?"
Fang Nian smiled: "This is not a conflict, 91 assistant currently only serves a part of the smartphone operating system, we are developing a system from scratch, naturally we need to build our own."
And this is a basic ecology, which is not a special case in the first place. ”
"There is no such concept in the PC era because the needs are different, and in the smartphone era, the app store will greatly facilitate users to use mobile phones;
Based on the app store as the platform, it will be more convenient for more development engineers to develop applications, publish applications, and obtain income through development, thereby enriching the application ecosystem. ”
Lei Yan praised from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Fang's understanding of the word platform is really deep in every corner. ”
“......”
"What I am more interested in is that the most basic logic of user interface design emphasized by Mr. Fang in this sketch can be solved at one time. Huang Xiujie said, "I don't know if Mr. Fang can explain." ”
Fang Nian elaborated unhurriedly: "In fact, this concept is rather scattered;
To put it simply, it is something that can be solved with one step, don't let the user use the second step, for example, this is why I want to apply the fingerprint to the unlock;
Now Apple's logic is to press the Home button or the power on and off button to light up the screen, then swipe the screen, enter the password, and then unlock it.
This is a three-step process for the user.
It all boils down to one step, finger touch the Home area to unlock.
In terms of user interface design, the same is true, for example, I suggested three ways to take screenshots: buttons, tapping on the screen, and drop-down menus.
Personally, I appreciate tapping the screen to take a screenshot, but I don't know if it can be achieved industrially, and it involves complex logic such as gravity sensing, and I am a layman after all. ”
After a pause, Fang Nian continued: "In fact, there is another layer, don't create multiple entrances for users, try to have only one entrance for any function setting, and reduce the user's thinking time." ”
“......”
On the sketch of the user interface design, Fang Nian actually drew a lot of things.
A part of the excellent experience of a phone that I remember using.
Including the weight of the icon arrangement rules, including the negative screen, including the use of the back key and the menu key, such as giving the user some custom permissions, etc.
At a deeper level, it also includes strict application permissions through system mobility services, and so on.
All in all, it has subverted a lot of things that are currently used in China.
Fortunately, Lei Yin and Huang Xiujie didn't know Fang Nian's expectations for the 91 assistant, otherwise they would have thought that Fang Nian was crazy.
In the end, Lei Yan's eyes were very bright, and Huang Xiujie was similar.
Because the in-depth content has gone deep into the bottom of the system, Lei Yan has more accurate ideas about the current draft system optimization direction.
“......”
"Mr. Lei told me that Mr. Fang believes that the most important additional application for domestic users is QQ, so how to attract more application developers to support the new system?" asked Huang Xiujie with a smile.
Fang Nian laughed: "Based on the domestic market promotion, it will naturally attract developers." ”
"And the most important part of the software, Mr. Lei can basically decide, and compared to the game level that users can't put down, greedy for fun will be transplanted to the mobile game platform as soon as possible. ”
After a pause, Fang Nian said: "Actually, it's very simple, in the form of an alliance to attract domestic manufacturers, there will naturally be a software ecology, because for the smartphone field, there is no completely irreplaceable software for the time being, unlike the PC field." ”
“......”
After talking about the direction of system optimization, user interface design, and future development.
Lei Yan looked at Fang Nian and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Fang thinks that what should be the official name of this smartphone operating system that belongs to China?"
He gave up the naming rights to Fang Nian.
Because in comparison, Fang Nian is the one who gave the soul of this operating system.
Hearing this, Fang Nian didn't refuse, he groaned a little, and said, "At first, I thought it would be okay to use a name like MIOS;
However, since it is necessary to apply it first with the help of the Chinese market, it is better to learn from the predecessors of engineering and let users feel the romance of engineers. ”
"The Chinese name is Nuwa, in order to facilitate the understanding of foreign users, the English name can be called nuwa M System, referred to as nuwaMOS. ”
Huang Xiujie took over the conversation: "Nuwa mends the sky?"
"If you understand it from this level, it is still very appropriate, and 'Nuwa' fills in the missing corner of China. Lei Yan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Fang Nian shook his head lightly and said seriously: "No, 'Nuwa' created everything in the world. ”
In myths and legends, the most talked about story of Nuwa is to mend the sky and create people, but in fact, there are also myths and stories of Nuwa making chickens on the first day of the first month, dogs on the second day of the first month, pigs on the third day of the first month, sheep on the fourth day, cattle on the fifth day, horses on the sixth day, and people on the seventh day of the first month. ”
"I have high expectations for 'Nuwa', hoping that she will eventually become the creator god of 'all things'. ”
Lei Yan pursed his lips: "Mr. Fang really wants to change the world!"
"Mr. Lei misunderstood, it's not me, it's you. Fang Nian said with a smile.
............
Fang Nian's trip to Zhuhai was very short, and it didn't take more than 20 hours to get full.
What Fang Nian specially brought to Meizu and Xiaomi has obvious and far-reaching impacts.
This includes not only redefining the industrial design of the M9, but also determining the direction of Meizu and Xiaomi's smartphone hardware industrial design in the future.
More importantly, Lei Yin and Huang Xiujie saw a broader future for smartphone operating systems.
It has also determined the name of the domestic smart operating system that will be jointly developed and customized by Xiaomi, Meizu and other domestic mobile phone manufacturers that will join in the future: Nuwa.
Based on the Nuwa operating system, a new 'world' is created.

There are two more, don't worry.
