448 only make money, not lose money

After going around the company, the three returned to Wang Yufei's chairman's office.

The eighteenth floor is still empty, and although there are only five floors of office space that have been fully renovated, it is enough for the current Changxiang Technology.

According to the suggestions of security experts on the Black Rabbit side, in the future, personnel, logistics, procurement and other departments unrelated to scientific research will be moved downstairs, and the 15th to 20th floors will be allocated to the company's R&D and other technical departments. By the way, is it okay to have coffee?"

"It's all right!" Wang Yufei glanced at Lu Yuxin and replied.

The three of them sat on the sofa in the office, and Ge Lingyue made three cups of coffee for the three while reporting to work.

Wang Yufei noticed a detail, it was instant coffee, and Ge Lingyue was very skilled in unpacking the bag, obviously making coffee by himself.

This made him start to examine himself, is he too harsh on this employee who wants to work more than 16 hours a day, seven days a week?

"In the future, a floor will be set aside for employees to relax and decompress, gyms, billiard rooms, game consoles, board game rooms and other things will be arranged, and games such as escape rooms that young people like now can also be added. In addition, the company's management should still be equipped with a life secretary who is responsible for taking care of daily life and other things. In the past, the company was not big, so there was no need to do this, but now I think it can be equipped. ”

After speaking, Wang Yufei was silent for a moment and said, "You and Mr. Gu seem to like to drink coffee." You can go back and buy one of those coffee grinding machines and throw them in the company. ”

"Huh?"

Ge Lingyue probably didn't expect Wang Yufei to suddenly come up with such a sentence, looked at the three cups of hot coffee, and said with a smile: "Thank you, boss, we have already thought of the former, in the future, the thirteenth floor will be designed as an employee decompression center, and the company will hire a special psychologist to sit at any time." There are all the entertainment facilities you mentioned, and there are also decompression games designed according to professional psychology doctors, and the company has allocated special funds to ensure that employees are always in a relatively healthy state of psychology. ”

"As for the life secretary and coffee ......" Ge Lingyue hesitated for a moment before saying euphemistically: "Boss, we have a coffee machine in our office, and it is also instant coffee." After all, drinking coffee in the office has nothing to do with life, in fact, drinking coffee in the office I just need the caffeine in the coffee, if I am resting at home, I can spend two hours making an exquisite afternoon tea with a book to enjoy life, but I don't need it much in the office. I believe that Mr. Gu is the same. ”

"You can do it as you like. ”

Wang Yufei nodded, it seemed that he was worried again, of course, he didn't believe that Gu Bingjun was the kind of person who would spend two hours preparing an afternoon tea for himself. Wang Yufei even wanted to bet with Ge Lingyue that even on his days off, Gu Bingjun was at home in front of the computer, brewing instant coffee.

Or for fear that Wang Yufei would feel embarrassed, Ge Lingyue turned on the projector in the office and began to report the situation.

"Then I'll give you a brief update on the recent situation. The day before yesterday, Samsung and Apple held their new product launch conference in China at the same time, which is also the first time in 7 years that Apple once again held a new product launch conference in China. At the press conference, Samsung equipped with the Galaxy S11 series with a 7nm brain-computer chip, and Apple launched the highly anticipated Apple 12 and Apple 12PLUS, two versions. Judging from the current sales status of these two companies, the user acceptance of our Xin system is very high. ”

It is obviously strange to conclude from the sales of two foreign manufacturers that the Xin system has a high user acceptance. However, Wang Yufei probably understood what was going on, and Ge Lingyue's next report also proved his guess.

"Because Apple is relatively conservative in the choice of China's mobile phone system, 20% of the products are selected to be equipped with the Xin system when stocking, and we have not yet launched XOS specifically for Apple, and the current situation is that the Apple 12 and Apple 12PLUS equipped with the Xin system have been sold out, and there are still a lot of surplus products equipped with IOS for the first time. ”

"According to professional analysis, Apple's IOS version is currently shipped less than five percent of the stock, which is enough to show that for users, the Xin system has strong user stickiness. Samsung's stock is relatively conservative, and the production of 7nm brain-computer chips has not yet reached its peak, so this time it has only put about one million units in the Huaxia market, and they have all been sold out. Lu Taiwen, president of Samsung's mobile phone division, called us to deepen the cooperation and design a system specifically for Samsung's mobile phones, and was willing to pay an additional fee for it. Now the parties are negotiating. ”

Wang Yufei nodded, if someone wants to send money, it is naturally impossible to refuse, but obviously the other party's purpose will not be so simple, so he asked casually: "Samsung hopes that we can provide Samsung with an international version of the Xin system, right?"

Ge Lingyue nodded and replied: "Yes, Samsung hopes to send engineers to work with us to develop a multi-Chinese version of the system for Samsung series mobile phones, and they are willing to match up and promote our cooperation with Google to move into Google's service framework in the international version of the Xin system, which can be more in line with the usage habits of international users." ”

Wang Yufei thought for a while and replied: "Xin system always has to go out, this is a good thing, we can talk about it, but there is a bottom line, our software and platform will not provide interfaces to Google, and Google's account cannot log in to our products with one click." ”

Ge Lingyue stroked her forehead with a headache.

She knew that Wang Yufei would definitely make a similar decision, which was obviously not conducive to the promotion of Xin System in foreign markets.

This made Ge Lingyue feel very melancholy.

At present, the Xin system is designed according to the usage habits of Chinese people, and the key problem is that Wang Yufei has already made the decision that the Xin system is free at the individual user level.

In other words, there is no additional charge for the use of Xin system by individual users in Huaxia.

Even if orders have been obtained from the government departments of most institutions, the price is unlikely to be too high.

Therefore, the international market is the main source of profit for Xin System in the future.

Standing at Ge Lingyue's level, he hopes to cooperate deeply with Google, and he is talking about grabbing the turf first.

"Boss, I think we can divide this matter into two looks, even if we develop the interface to Google in the early stage, it is not a big problem, once the mobile version of the Xin system is rolled out, users will inevitably need the personal PC version through minimalist programming, entertainment translator and other software, that is to say, as long as the mobile version opens the gap, we can begin to encroach on Microsoft's traditional market. ”

"In particular, the development of the international version is about the second half of the year, when the complete server solutions of our cloud computing platform can be launched, and after occupying the PC platform, we can also provide complete security services. At that time, it will inevitably be counterattacked by Microsoft. From this point of view, it is also very important for us to have a hardcore ally when entering the international market. ”

"You must know that once you enter the international market, especially in South Asia, Europe and the United States, more than 70% of users have their own Google accounts, which means that if the interface is opened to Google, these users can become our users without much effort. ”

"If you feel that you have a psychological cleanliness fetish, and you don't want Google's architecture to access our interface and data, you can just find a way to close the interface after the Xin system has gained a foothold in major countries in the world. ”

"Of course, there's a lot to deal with. For example, if a company like Google is not able to view and retrieve user data through an open interface, they may question data security issues, which will also greatly hinder the promotion of our products. However, with the help of Google, this can be minimized. ”

"And once international mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung and Weihua roll out Xin system products in other markets, there will be great pressure on Apple. Didn't you always hope that Apple would give up on collecting Apple taxes? This also requires us to have a more stable ally abroad. At the moment, Microsoft is unlikely to make any reconciliation with us, so Google is the best option!"

"In addition to that, there is one more thing you need to consider. We don't have a complete set of charging channels and systems abroad, but Google is different, only through Google in the early stage can we sell our products and get back through Google. We can cooperate in the early stage, slowly establish our own charging channels, you must know that the current mainstream payment method in foreign countries is credit card. It's not easy to get through the channels of those banks. ”

Ge Lingyue suggested bitterly.

and then successfully persuaded Wang Yufei.

Sure enough, he's not very good at thinking from a business perspective.

Thinking about it this way, the in-depth cooperation with Google in the early stage is only beneficial to the promotion of the international version of the Xin system, and there is basically no harm. The key is to allow Xin System to make money abroad, and now Changxiang Technology is still quite short of money.

As for the open interface, as Ge Lingyue said, when you really get a foothold, if you want to terminate the cooperation, just block it. In this set of vertical and horizontal, Ge Lingyue's idea is right.

"Then let's do as you say, I don't resist in-depth cooperation with Google, but my attitude can be a bargaining chip. Wang Yufei decided.

"Whew!" Ge Lingyue sighed.

For the first time, I felt that Wang Yufei could still listen to persuasion, which was a perfect start.

"Recently, I will get in touch with Google after I hand over the data center to the people below. Ge Lingyue immediately agreed.

"Yes, call me if you need my cooperation. In addition, how is the arrangement of the data center construction?"

"Your province has negotiated very smoothly, it is estimated that after May Day, it will sign an agreement with the local area with a total investment scale of more than 10 billion, the conditions are quite favorable, the early construction of the three links has been completed, not far from the penguin data center there, the construction plan you handed over to me has also been given to the design department, they will synthesize a complete plan according to the terrain and your plan. Construction is expected to begin in mid-May. ”

"In addition to the super data center in your province, the team also finalized the construction of first-tier data centers in six provinces. In terms of finance, the CFO is negotiating with the bank, and has already negotiated two low-interest loans with a scale of 10 billion yuan. So at present, the funds can still hold up. Of course, if Mr. Wang can consider introducing an angel round of financing, I guarantee that there will be no problem in raising the money to build the data center. If done well, it is not impossible for you to maintain a 51% controlling stake even if you bring in two rounds of financing. In addition, if we introduce financing, it will be more conducive to our overseas expansion. ”

Obviously, the success just now made Ge Lingyue try to change Wang Yufei's mind again and introduce capital to put Changxiang Technology on the path of rapid development.

"This is definitely not considered. For example, for Huawei, when Weihua went from a domestic company to an international company, was it because he introduced strategic investors?

Speaking of this, Wang Yufei paused and continued: "No, it's because Weihua's algorithm lab took the lead in opening up the 2G to 3G algorithm, and Weihua did not put these technologies that can save customers money, but began to promote their SingleRAN, so that operators can build a base station to support a variety of standards of communication." Operators really feel the benefits of technological progress, and it is not capital that allows China to take off in the international market. So Mr. Ge, are you not confident in our technology? Please keep in mind that this year, our brain-computer chip and Xin system are at least ten years ahead of those companies in Western countries! When the Xin system is officially promoted, our next-generation products will be ten years ahead of them!"

"As long as we are fast enough in terms of technology, we can calmly enter the international market even if we do not rely on capital. And isn't Mr. Ge still very confident that he can let us get a strong boost from Google?"

Ge Lingyue was silent.

is obviously willing to cooperate deeply with Google, not that Wang Yufei has changed, it is easy to convince.

At least in the area of reluctance to introduce capital, Wang Yufei is still so resolute.

"When it comes to technology, I think of a thing, when I chatted with Mr. Gu a few days ago, when the company was ready to add a quantum brain division, Mr. Gu suggested that most of the laboratories are now researching hardware, and the company can find another way to focus on the research of quantum computer software, and cooperate with some universities to build an algorithm laboratory. I asked him to make a report, but he's too busy and forgetful, so you can ask him what he thinks if you have time. ”

This topic scratched Wang Yufei's itch, and he immediately made a decision.

"There is no need to think about this, the quantum algorithm laboratory does need to be built, and the company can recruit some mathematical experts to conduct joint research with generous treatment. Not only algorithm labs, but also basic labs such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry are needed. As soon as the financial situation eases up and the construction begins, you will release the news that you can carry out in-depth cooperation with the top universities in the country in these aspects. ”

"Believe me, the investment in this area will only be earned in the future, and it will definitely not be lost!"
