Chapter 721: Dissatisfied
Looking at the dozens of colorful BB machine samples in Ma Huateng's backpack, a trace of an inexplicable smile suddenly flashed at the corner of Fang Chen's mouth.
These samples reminded him of a scene, Ma Huateng in the movie "Riding the Wind and Waves" said that he had made up something called OICQ, and his companion who was eating on the side, Liuyi, said that he was going to stock up on BB machines, and he would definitely make a fortune after five years.
The idea of Liuyi has been appreciated by everyone, and Ma Huateng also said that after writing OICQ, he will go with Liuyi to stock up on BB machines, and according to the development of the story in the movie, if Xu Tailang played by Deng Chao did not stop it, there would probably be no little brother Ma that everyone is familiar with in later generations, let alone Teng Xun.
And Fang Chen can use his head to vouch for it, and those who hoard BB machines will lose even their pants.
After the peak in 1998, the BB machine took a sharp turn and disappeared from people's field of vision in less than two years.
Because at that time, the price of mobile phones had come down, and the price of BB machines was about the same, in this case, fools would buy BB machines.
However, Ma Huateng does like BB machines, when he was in college, he wrote the pager system, and his first job was in a paging company, and even the most familiar QQ message prompt was recorded by Ma Huateng with the message prompt of his own BB machine.
Being laughed at by Fang Chen like this, Ma Huateng's heart instantly chuckled, and he felt that the second monk was confused, could this BB machine be wrong.
Looking at Ma Huateng's bewildered appearance, Fang Chen smiled in his heart, but didn't say anything, but directly picked up the BB machine on the table and turned it on.
I probably felt the feel of the buttons, which were crisp and powerful, and the assembly tolerance was not large, so there would be no embarrassing thing about the keys being stuck.
The overall workmanship is also good, there are no burrs or bulges that should not be there, the font displayed on the display screen is also very clear, the color is very good, at least there is nothing uncomfortable, Fang Chen nodded lightly, expressing satisfaction.
But on second thought, it seemed that it was the right thing to do.
After all, the predecessor of Qingtian Communication is an old factory like Luozhou Telephone Factory, which has been established for more than 20 years, and he has also invested a lot of money in Qingtian Communication and updated many equipment plants.
After playing with it a few times, Fang Chen suddenly had a feeling of nostalgia, in his previous life, he had such a BB machine, and when he first bought it, it was like a baby.
In fact, at that time, Motorola and Ericsson produced relatively small mobile phones already existed, but he really couldn't afford the price of two or three thousand, and the top was his salary of seven or eight months at that time.
In the end, he spent two months' salary to buy a Hanxian BB machine, and there was no brand, it was a miscellaneous BB machine produced by a small workshop.
But even so, when he went out, he pinned the BB machine directly outside the waistband of his trousers, and never took the cover of his clothes, for fear that others would not see it.
Seeing this, Ma Huateng's hanging heart suddenly came down a little, although he also felt that the BB machine he made was definitely one of the best BB machines on the market, and the fake one was not recognized by Fang Chen, everything was fake.
For this BB machine, he has not been at home for many years, and even the dormitory is just a place to sleep for him, and he spends fifteen hours a day in the R&D center and an experimental workshop supporting the R&D center.
It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that the BB machine is a product made by him with great painstaking efforts.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Chen handed the BB machine to Wu Maocai and asked Wu Maocai to go to the pager in Moscow to register the BB machine.
Before using the BB machine, you also need to register at the pager desk, and then get a number with the pager prefix, which is actually the same as the mobile phone number, otherwise the ghost knows who is calling.
In addition, the charging standard is the same as the current big brother, and it is necessary to pay the network fee to enter the network, at first 1,000 yuan, and then slowly reduced to 300, 100, until there is no money, and there is also a number selection fee.
Then there is a platform fee of more than 200 yuan per month, that is, the usage fee, but later it was cheaper, more than 100 a year for Shuxian, and 600 a year for Hanxian.
By the way, there was also news at that time, a person was afraid of the price increase of Taiwan fees, and wanted to pay enough Taiwan fees for 20 years at one time, but the system only supported the payment of Taiwan fees for 10 years at most, and finally the person paid more than 27,000 Taiwan fees and left.
As for why Fang Chen remembered this news so well, it was because he felt that with more than 27,000 yuan, it was mostly good to buy a big brother directly, and how prestigious.
In addition, the pager is called Runxun, which is the state-owned enterprise where Ma Huateng worked for the first time.
"Now it's just a matter of looking at the pager's message reception function, which I'm sure you've tested many times at home, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Fang Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ma Huateng's face suddenly turned slightly red, in addition to the motherboard and chips in the pager, the two most important things in the pager are the superheterodyne receiver and decoder, which are responsible for amplifying the signal and converting the signal into English letters, numbers, and Chinese characters that can be interpreted by humans.
In addition to the motherboard, the rest of these things are purchased from domestic spare parts companies, and the design scheme is also a mature plan, he feels that the work he has done is just a simple modification of a small fight.
It's like a house that has been built or even renovated, and he is nothing more than putting a sofa and installing a ceiling in it, what can go wrong?
Now Ma Huateng is just a young man who really graduated from college two months away, Fang Chen saw Ma Huateng's thoughts at a glance, and smiled slightly, "We have just started, everything is done by ourselves, it is unrealistic and impossible, after all, our technical reserves are almost equal to zero, and we have to eat food in one bite, and you can't eat fat in one breath." ”
Speaking of this, Fang Chen's voice paused, and an inexplicable glint flashed in his eyes, "But you also have to know that there will be bread and milk." ”
In the absence of any technical reserves, it is understandable to directly purchase foreign parts, select foreign mature product design schemes, and only make simple modifications by themselves.
After all, the most important thing is to solve the problem first.
Although it is imitated, it is better than the BB machines produced by Motorola, Ericsson, and Alcatel-Lucent all over the street, and Manhuaxia can't even find a BB machine with its own company name.
Technology is such a thing, you can only be down-to-earth, climb step by step, and want to change instantly, Fang Chen asked himself if he had this ability.
However, if you indulge in imitation, do not want to forge ahead, and do not increase investment in scientific research, this is a big problem!
Even Fang Chen can unceremoniously say that such an enterprise is not far from death.
Ma Huateng nodded heavily, he naturally believed what Fang Chen said.
The whole company, who doesn't know that Fang is always the most persistent in technological autonomy, but if you can research the technology yourself, no matter how big the price is, you will not buy other people's ready-made things.
And in the words of Mr. Fang, independent research and development, this is paying tuition, taking money for experience, learning lessons, and knowledge, it is training the team, and you can buy other people's ready-made things, then you really get a technology, and when people come up with new technologies, they can only continue to pay money, when is this a head?
After a deep groan, Fang Chen looked at Ma Huateng and said slowly: "But I'm not satisfied with this BB machine." ”
Fang Chen's words slashed at Ma Huateng like a thunderbolt, and even almost made him stupid, obviously he was full of smiling expressions just now, why was he suddenly dissatisfied now.
Even he was a little aggrieved, he worked so hard, worked more than ten hours a day, lived well year after year, and the results he made, and everyone praised him, no one who had seen it said badly, but when he came to Fang Chen, he actually got an unsatisfactory evaluation.
Moreover, he really thinks too much about this BB machine.
No way, there are too many things on this BB machine.
When he went to report before the Chinese New Year, although Shi Yuzhu told him to do it well, saying that he had a bright future, he didn't say that he cared so much in his heart, at least he didn't say that he cared as much as he did now.
When he first went to the company, Shen Wei and Mr. Shen pulled him and talked for a whole night, talking about the importance of the BB machine and the entire paging system to the company, and the importance that the company valued him.
And can you imagine that he is a twenty-two-year-old person who has not yet graduated from college, and the company directly promoted him to the deputy head of the paging project, the chief engineer, and more than 40 technical personnel.
When he was appointed, he was a little confused.
Although he knew that he was the person recruited by Mr. Fang personally, and the company would not dare not reuse him, he really didn't expect to give him such a big responsibility and trust all of a sudden, and he thought that the position of chief engineer of the paging project would take him at least two or three years to touch it.
Although Qingtian Communication is newly built, but in fact, with Luozhou Telephone Equipment Factory as the foundation, Qingtian Communication is really not short of people, and it is not his turn to be the chief engineer of this paging project.
And you must know that although he is nominally the deputy general manager, he is actually almost the same as the general manager, after all, the nominal general manager is the company's executive vice president Dong Jiamu.
Shen Wei, the general manager, and Liu Hongwei, the vice president of sales, are running business outside all day long, and Zheng Baoyong, the chief engineer, has been busy with the 04 machine and recruiting technical personnel, so Dong Jiamu, as the executive vice president of Qingtian Communications, naturally has to afford most of the company's daily work.
In this case, is it possible that Dong Jiamu is in charge of the paging project? So basically he has the upper hand to call the project.
He once specifically excused himself, but Shen Wei said that Mr. Fang had agreed to let him be in charge of the paging project, and if he had any problems, he could report to Mr. Fang alone.
As the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, he really wants to be worthy of the importance of Mr. Fang and the company's leaders, so he will fight so hard.
And after he made the pager, the first thing he thought about was to let Fang Chen take a look, and let Fang Chen know that he had lived up to him.
As a result, Fang Chen directly gave him a word of dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, Ma Huateng was still too young, and the boss was not satisfied with his work, so as an employee, he shouldn't ask honestly first, why are you dissatisfied?
The result was good, he didn't say anything, and Ma Huateng was wronged.
"Okay, don't be wronged, I'm just not satisfied, it's not that you didn't do well, and as a boss, I have the right to express my opinion, right?" Fang Chen said.
Hearing this, Ma Huateng's face turned pale in an instant, although he hadn't graduated from college yet, he could still understand Fang Chen's heart-wrenching words.
Employees who dare to gag the boss's mouth and don't let the boss speak will not end well.
Ma Huateng squeaked and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word, and after a few breaths, five words popped up, "I admit my mistake to you." ”
Fang Chen grinned, he knocked Ma Huateng, not because he was dissatisfied with the BB machine, but for Ma Huateng's good, Ma Huateng was entrusted with a heavy responsibility as soon as he arrived in the company, which is a good thing, cultivating talents, training talents, and allowing talents to tap their potential as much as possible.
As the chairman and CEO of Tencent, he feels that Ma Huateng still has great potential to be tapped.
Perhaps, it was because he knew Ma Huateng's later achievements that he agreed to hand over the paging project to Ma Huateng.
But if people are too smooth sailing, they can't even touch a threshold, and they are easy to fall on their heels.
"Okay, don't be mistaken, didn't I just say it, I'm dissatisfied with the BB machine, not with you, you have to separate this. ”
Hearing this, Ma Huateng was a little dizzy, and couldn't figure out what Fang Chen meant by this, the BB machine was his work, Fang Chen was not satisfied with the BB machine, wasn't he dissatisfied with him, how could he say that he was not dissatisfied with him.
"I am very satisfied with your work that you can come up with such a sample in such a short period of time, but this kind of BB machine is not the BB machine in my mind. Fang Chen said seriously.
Seeing that Ma Huateng was still dazed, Fang Chen said directly: "Can the BB function support Han Xian now?"
"It can support Hanxian, if our paging base station is installed and our paging system is used, this pager can support Chinese character display, and the fluency is definitely not inferior to Motorola and Ericsson's pagers. ”
Listening to Fang Chen get to the point, instead of the roundabout words just now that he couldn't understand no matter how he listened to it, Ma Huateng said with some excitement.
Fang Chen nodded, quite satisfied, supporting Han Xian was the most important request he made when he talked to Shen Wei about pagers.
Because of the cooperation with the Inspur Group, Motorola has already come up with a pager to support Hanxian last year, and now the pager made by Qingtian does not even support Hanxian, so it's still a fart, wash and go home and sleep.
