Entrepreneurship is often like mixing rivers and lakes, a leading brother who has the willingness to start a business, and does everything possible to gather a group of like-minded brothers to conquer the city and .......

The successful ancients had "Taoyuan Three Alliances", and the failed ones had "Wagang One Furnace of Incense" and "Water Margin One Hundred Singles and Eight Generals".

In modern times, typical examples such as Ahri's "Eighteen Arhats" and Penguin's "Entrepreneurial Five".

Lu Yan's side is also actively recruiting talents.

Because these industry elites, in the story of "Three Kingdoms", are their own strategists and fierce generals, and it is not so easy to recruit.

When Rebus was preparing to make a mobile phone, the first year of the company's establishment was almost entirely spent looking for people.

Because the first few are from the Internet industry, they don't understand hardware and don't have enough connections in hardware.

Before meeting Dr. Zhou, Rebus had been talking to several candidates for more than two months, and progress had been extremely slow.

On Lu Yan's side, he first found Lin Bin. Later, through his connections, Lin Bin found his old colleague Huang Jiangji, the chief engineer of the Microsoft Engineering Institute.

At this time, Huang Jiangji's R&D team led by Microsoft was reorganized, and the work was not easy to do, so he complained to Lin Bin.

Lin Bin immediately invited him to leave Microsoft to start a business, and the invitation to go straight to the bottom made Huang Jiangji, who was already depressed, moved, and after chatting with Lu Yan once, he agreed to join Shenzhou Technology.

And another old subordinate Lin Bin found is Hong Feng, the former senior product manager of Google China, an otaku geek.

Under the leadership of Lin Bin, when he met with Lu Yan, he asked many key questions. For example, do you have a hardware team, do you know the operator, and do you have specific design ideas?

Obviously, I came prepared to see if this boss was reliable.

Fortunately, Lu Yan had already thought about these problems before he was ready to make a mobile phone.

The hardware team is being formed, and in terms of operators, through Bao Bufan, I know several leaders of Jinling Telecom, and they have the intention to cooperate and are negotiating.

As for the design idea of the mobile phone, of course, the traditional keyboard is abandoned, and the capacitive touch screen is adopted, equipped with an intelligent operating system and powerful multimedia functions.

In this regard, it is the same idea as Meizu, which started as MP3.

Meizu's advantage is that the transformation project was established earlier, but there are no fewer detours.

For example, as early as 2007, the Meizu M8 project was established!

But the first question in front of the boss is, what operating system to choose!

For Lu Yan at this moment, this is not a problem at all, it must be Android!

But not at that time, Android was only released at the end of 2008, and the only ones that were open and could be used as smart operating systems for mobile phones at that time were Windows Mobile, Linux, and Win CE.

The licensing fee of the Mobile system is too expensive, and the operation itself is PC-oriented, which in Meizu's opinion does not meet the requirements of the M8 in terms of cost and control.

Linux is free and highly customizable, and it is possible to customize the system to meet the requirements of M8. But the technical threshold is also relatively high, Linux is only a core, and the things at the upper level of the system have to be done by themselves.

This is really powerless for Meizu, which started as an MP3, and can only choose Win CE in the end.

In addition to the system, the screen problem of the mobile phone is also critical, and Meizu has encountered more problems.

At first, they found a small company to work with, but the accuracy of the other party's products was not high, and the false touch rate was very high when typing on the keyboard on a small screen.

Meizu worked with the company's engineers for a year, but they didn't solve the problem, and eventually canceled the cooperation. Then Meizu successively approached Goodix, BYD and other companies, but they did not find a suitable solution.

It wasn't until a press conference of Apple that a capacitive touch technology company surfaced - TPK, that Meizu arrived at the right company.

It just so happened that TPK also wanted to open up the market, and the two hit it off, and the touch glass panel was simply done.

As for the touch IC, the cooperation was finally reached with Synopsys, the industry's top capacitive touch IC manufacturer, after two months of request negotiations.

At this point, the touch problem that has plagued Meizu for two years has been completely solved.

From the perspective of the future, the Meizu M8 can only be regarded as an antique, but it was quite amazing when it was listed.

It's like in the era when the Internet was not yet developed, you saw others selling clothes and shoes in shopping malls, even if you had the funds, but if you wanted to find a suitable source of goods, you couldn't do it immediately.

Lu Yan's advantage is that he can bypass the detours that Meizu took back then, and when he gets on the highway, he steps on the accelerator to the end.

For example, after the launch of the M8, Jobs believed that Meizu's design had stolen Apple's creativity and intellectual property, so a year after its release, Huang Sassafras said that the M8 would be discontinued.

This is inevitably a bit of a waste, and the Shenzhou mobile phone that Lu Yan is preparing to launch is trying to avoid this.

Lin Bin, Huang Jiangji, and Hong Feng are all from software backgrounds. In terms of hardware, Lu Yan naturally took a fancy to Dr. Zhou Xunping, chief engineer and senior director of Motorola Beijing R&D Center.

In another time and space, Motorola had serious infighting, and Zhou Xunping left in 09 and joined Dell as vice president of Xingyao wireless product development. In 2010, he was invited by Rebus to become the co-founder of Xiaomi, serving as vice president, responsible for the hardware and BSP team.

And Lu Yan entered the mobile phone market in advance, so naturally he can't let go of such talents.

After being introduced to the leaders of the school, the two sides talked back and forth for more than a week, and finally even "Taoist friends stay" and "fate with me" were secretly used, and finally let the old gentleman agree to start a business with a boss who has not graduated from college and is distracted by the two companies.

It's not easy!

In addition to these few, through high salaries, more than a dozen senior brothers were recruited in the school to supplement the design and development team.

As for the female classmate Su Ke, because she has too little experience, she can only do financial work.

In the company, Lu Yan and the R&D team discussed the design of mobile phones.

The concept map was drawn by himself, and various designs and product concepts were also written on it, and he discussed it with everyone. Constantly arguing about possibilities and problems encountered is quite boring.

What makes everyone a little excited is that Lu Yan's concept is very open, or creative.

It is always desirable to be able to come up with some functional designs that sound beautiful but cannot be achieved with the current level of technology, which makes everyone both yearn for and suffer.

Everyone closed the door and focused on making mobile phones, but on this day, they suddenly heard a message.

Meizu's newly designed and produced M8 mobile phone will go on sale on February 28.

Big screen, touch, smartphone!

The people of the company were shocked when they heard the news, and they were a little regretful, after all, it was the first large-screen smart phone in China!

However, the project was established two years ago, and it has only been established for less than two months, so there is no regret!

It's Lu Yan, I remember that the M8 went on sale on February 18th in another time and space, which will be ten days late!

The butterfly effect!
