There are too many famous variety shows in later generations, so many that Zhou Fangyuan doesn't know what variety show to do first.

Music variety shows include "The Voice" and "Singer", outdoor shows include "Running Run", "Chicken Strips", and talent shows such as "Fast Man", "Fast Girl", etc., which can be called phenomenal variety shows, basically have a large number of fans, and the ratings are also guaranteed.

And that was still in the era when variety shows were blooming, if it was now, any one of them would cause a sensation.

But why did Zhou Fangyuan start from the outdoors first?

At the end of the day, it's about pleasing the audience.

Because most of today's variety shows are recorded in the studio, everyone is basically a little aesthetically tired. Not only that, so far, celebrities are still a relatively mysterious existence for ordinary people, and this kind of outdoor show often allows the audience to see a different side of the star, and the form is relatively novel, which is currently the most sensational variety show form that Zhou Fangyuan thinks.

Of course, how to operate it has to be carefully considered.

But this is left to Sun Jing to solve, she is responsible for finding a good director and production team, and Zhou Fangyuan is only responsible for spending money and providing ideas.

Back at the company, Zhou Fangyuan made a round of inspections, and after making sure that everyone was serious about their work, he followed Sun Jing into the office.

In the office, they didn't dare to go too far, and after talking for a while, they dragged the time until the end of work, and then the two went out for a meal, as for what did the two of them do after eating...... I can't say anything about that.

Early the next morning, Zhou Fangyuan woke up, drove a car from the company, and drove directly to the place of work of Andy and others according to the address that the third brother had told him before.

Andy their place of work is in the suburbs of the capital, as I said before, the third brother directly bought a small farm, in this small farm, Andy and the others basically lived a closed life, the third brother provided them with all the necessities of life except for women, and these R&D personnel, the personality is more homely, so they are very accustomed to this kind of life, and there is no objection at all.

It was the first time for Zhou Fangyuan to come to this farm, the farm was not big, only four or five rooms, and there was a big yard.

Zhou Fangyuan parked the car, and the third brother had been waiting beside him for a long time.

"Are they all there?"

Zhou Fangyuan asked while locking the car door.

"It's all here, just waiting for you. ”

The third brother said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go inside. ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded with a smile and walked in with the third brother.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a large machine piled up at the door, and further inside, there were many various machines, large and small, which were the devices used by Andy to make mobile phones. Because it's a trial production, there's no need to make a big production line at all, just casually get some equipment, which can ensure that the first mobile phone can be made.

Zhou Fangyuan saw Andy again, Andy was a lot fatter than last time, and his face was round.

"Looks like you're doing well. ”

Zhou Fangyuan quipped.

"That's right, we're all happy with our current lives, and the food in China has taken us over now, and I've found that my meals have increased a lot lately. ”

Andy touched his stomach and laughed.

"I'm glad you guys can like it, come on, make me happy a little more, let me see what you've been up to lately. ”

Zhou Fangyuan couldn't wait to say.

He entered Beijing this time, and determined that the variety show project was just piggybacking, even if he didn't come to Beijing, this task could be sent, after all, now that the Internet has developed, any documents can be sent directly through the mailbox.

So the real purpose of his entry into Beijing was to come over and see Andy's progress.

Because the third brother called him before and said that Andy and they had already figured out the first step of the mobile phone.

This made Zhou Fangyuan very excited.

And after hearing Zhou Fangyuan's words, Andy didn't deliberately hang his appetite, and directly took out a small thing from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Fangyuan.

Zhou Fangyuan picked it up and looked at it, and a familiar feeling immediately appeared.

That's right, this is the SideKick he'd seen in his last life who doesn't know how many times.

In October 02, the company released a PDA mobile phone called Hiptop, too

It's SideKick's first product. At the time, it was a revolutionary "all-in-one" wireless device. With Hiptop, consumers can use it to surf the web, send and receive emails, chat using AOL's Instant Messenger, play online games, read emails and more. Of course, this phone must also have the most important mobile phone communication function.

At the '02 Consumer Electronics Show, Hiptop Wireless Solutions was named the best PDA, handheld wireless mobile device. And because it is a single device, it can offer a very friendly price to consumers.

Zhou Fangyuan had seen it many times on the Internet in his last life, and in reality, he had also seen people he knew around him take such things, which once made him very envious for a long time.

The SideKick that appears in his hand now is about the same size as the previous Hiptop, which is 11.6cmx6.5cmx2.8cm and weighs 150 grams. It allows users to send and receive emails freely and comes with 3 POP3 e-mail accounts. It has a 2.6-inch monochrome 240x160 dot matrix, 16-level grayscale LCD screen with backlight function, and a scroll wheel is also designed next to the body. The display can be moved upwards to see a small keyboard with a backlit backlight function in a built-in 5-row arrangement. And built-in infrared (IR) and USB interface. Users can easily synchronize with the data in the computer. Calendars, contacts, appointments, reminders, and more.

Under Andy's reminder, Zhou Fangyuan tried several of these functions, and they were all very good. However, the internal operating system is a pure English version, and it is a little inconvenient for him to use, which is also no way, after all, the development of this mobile phone was made by Andy's entire team, and there is not a single Chinese person in it, so it must be a pure English version. The third brother didn't have the slightest idea in this regard, so he couldn't help at all.

Zhou Fangyuan can still remember that in the last life, Hiptop2 was launched in 04, and the most beautiful time was the exposure of the private life photos of the rich sister Paris Hilton in 05 and the fashion movies "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Gold Worshipper" in 06, which was really unforgettable at that time. The second-generation device, which is still custom built by T-Mobile and manufactured by Sharp, features a full-size Qerty keyboard, e-mail sending, web browsing, and a distinctive rotating screen that has won the hearts of many Hollywood stars.

Equipped with a 2.5-inch display screen with a resolution of 240x160 pixels, the Hiptop2 has transitioned from the first generation of monochrome screens to color screens. The scroll wheels on the side of the fuselage have been redesigned to be wider and easier to operate, and a four-way navigation button has been added. The four-way button on the left is also an earpiece, and there are 4-color LED lights underneath it, which will flash different colors in different states, which is a very novel design.

There were many generations of designs after that, but the machine was still too niche and didn't make it into the mainstream.

Zhou Fangyuan asked Andy to continue to make this, on the one hand, to make money by relying on this, and on the other hand, it was mainly to accumulate experience for the R&D team and prepare them for the development of the Android system. So he's not prepared to make too many versions like in the previous life. It doesn't make sense, it can only be a waste of the experience of the R&D team.

But how to say it, just this mobile phone in his hand, he tried to operate it, and overall it was still very good. Compared with the mobile phones on the market now, there are many more functions, and it is not wrong to say that it is epoch-making.

"When will it be ready for mass production?"

Zhou Fangyuan played with it for a while and asked.

"You can start production at any time, as long as there is a production line. ”

Andy replied.

His answer made Zhou Fangyuan very satisfied, although if you want to start producing mobile phones, you must complete the production line, so that the fertilizer must be not small, there must be a special factory, and a large number of workers must be hired. But these are not problems, as long as the mobile phone can successfully conduct the interview, at least within a year or two, it will definitely cause a sensation.

"In this way, I will figure out a way to deal with the production line, and you will continue to improve the product, and strive to come up with the final version directly when the production line is ready. In addition, the language should be varied, not just English, our mobile phone, is to face the world, if you have any difficulties, you can talk to me, I will find a way to help you solve. ”

Zhou Fangyuan returned the phone to Andy, and then said with a smile.

Andy took the phone and nodded, "Actually, there is no difficulty in life, everyone eats well and lives well, the environment here is also good, and everyone is very satisfied." But we still have a problem, which is that a lot of people have been out for a long time, and in order to catch up with the schedule, they didn't go back at Christmas, so I wondered if we could give everyone a holiday and let them go back to visit their relatives as well. After all, after coming out to work for so long, everyone also misses their families. ”

Andy said.

"No problem. ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded.

"But you can't take a vacation all at once, you can discuss this matter, take turns off, and try to give everyone more time to rest while ensuring progress. The cost of the journey home will be taken from the company's accounts as travel expenses, and in addition, in order to reward you for the progress of your work, I am going to give you some bonuses. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said, taking out a bank card from his pocket.

"It's a million, you can divide it for everyone, I don't care how you divide it, you must make everyone satisfied." At the same time, you also made it clear to everyone, don't be too little, this is just the beginning, as long as our mobile phone is successful, I will not hesitate to give some bonuses. ”

"Haha, don't worry, I promise to keep everyone happy. ”

Andy smiled and nodded, taking the card.

Then he turned inside and told everyone in the R&D team the news. Soon, there was the sound of cheers from inside.

In the evening, Zhou Fangyuan made a celebration dinner, which was held on the farm, he invited a chef and made a party that combined Chinese and Western, with unlimited amounts of good wine and meat, so that everyone could eat and drink freely.

Andy had drunk too much, his face was red, and his tongue was knotted when he spoke.

After a while, Zhou Fangyuan was about to leave, but before leaving, he called the third brother to his side.

"Third brother, you have done a good job this time, but then your task will be heavier. Not only do you have to continue to take care of their daily lives, but you also have to be careful not to leak out the situation. In addition, the production line will be handed over to you to be responsible, the factory is also responsible for you, in short, I will hand over this stall to you, if the money is not enough, just tell me, if there are not enough people, I will find a way for you, in short, we must do this thing well, this is related to our future development, we must not be careless. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said in a deep voice.

Leaving this matter to the third brother, he also considered it.

The third brother has been following him for a long time, and the third brother's ability was indeed a problem before, but recently, while the third brother was taking care of Andy's team, he was constantly charging himself, and Zhou Fangyuan wanted him to play a greater role, so he handed over this matter to the third brother to deal with when he knew that the mobile phone was very important. If nothing else, this is also a test for the third brother. If the third brother can do this thing well, he will be able to hand over more burdens to the third brother, and the third brother will be even more important in the future.

On the contrary, if the third brother messes up this matter, then Zhou Fangyuan really won't be able to give him a bigger burden in the future.

And as he continues to advance, the position of the third brother will inevitably continue to lag behind, and he may gradually be separated from him.

But there is no way to do it, if the third brother can't keep up with him in this matter, then he can only give up the third brother.

However, he will not tell the third brother about this matter, he will let the third brother do it himself, if he can realize the problem here, it is the best. If he didn't realize it, then Zhou Fangyuan wouldn't say anything more. Because he's said enough that there's no point in saying more.

The third brother had no objection to his arrangement, "Xiaoyuan, don't worry, I will not let you down." ”

With the words of the third brother, Zhou Fangyuan temporarily put his mind at ease.

In June, the temperature began to rise, and Zhou Fangyuan finally came to the college entrance examination in his life with you.

For many students, the college entrance examination is an important time-changing juncture that changes their lives, and if they can go through it, their future will be brighter. If you can't get there...... I'm sorry, but if you fall behind, you will have to find a way to catch up from other roads, and it will be more difficult.

However, this has nothing to do with Zhou Fangyuan, he has already secured a guaranteed place at Beijing University, as long as he waits for the start of school and reports directly.

But even so, he still took the college entrance examination.

And two months before the college entrance examination, he calmed down and didn't run around the world anymore, because he had already arranged other things for the time being, and there was no need to run around.

The college entrance examination finally came as scheduled, and Zhou Fangyuan took his prospective candidates and pen and stepped into the examination room of the college entrance examination.
