Chapter 202: Another General

In 08, the Android system was born, but it did not become popular in this year.

The fire is the Iphone3 released by Jobs, announcing the advent of the smartphone era.

The fastest response in the domestic market is the founder of Meizu Huang Camp, who immediately seized the opportunity to switch from MP3 to make mobile phones, and the Meizu M8 launched in February 09 is the first smartphone in China.

The sales volume reached 100,000 units in two months, and the sales exceeded 500 million yuan in five months. In 09 years, other domestic mobile phone manufacturers almost all losses, mourning everywhere in the background, Meizu M8 rose against the market, is a great miracle.

It was the sassafras at that time that harvested a fan brother, who was later Rebus.

Legend has it that Rebus, who had left Jinshan not long ago, happened to buy a Meizu M8 mobile phone, and couldn't put it down, so he immediately met Huang Sassafras through his connections and wanted to make a mobile phone with him.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this encounter is like Liu Xuande getting acquainted with Zhuge Liang, and he is Longzhong.

It's just that the two didn't negotiate on the investment later, and Rebus started anew.

Huang Sassafras was furious and lashed out many times. Rebus was calm and clear, and no longer talked about the past.

At this time and space, this past has not yet happened, and the domestic mobile phone industry is still in a state of mourning.

Nokia is in full swing, and Apple is born. Domestic mobile phones are synonymous with copycat machines, and the future is bleak.

Although Lu Yan has become a star-like figure in the school, Lu's Meituan is already the first group buying website in China, but not many people come to him to submit resumes.

The classmates in the class, that is, came to chat a few words, and went elsewhere.

At the end of the day, except for Su Ke, I only received more than a dozen resumes, but fortunately, they are all talents with mobile phone-related majors, including hardware manufacturing and software development.

However, the students in the school are still a little less experienced, and Lu Yan needs some experienced partners, such as those who later worked with Rebus to make mobile phones.

Ten days later, when entering January 09, the headhunting company gave the news that Lin Bin, who had returned to China, had been contacted, and the other party also agreed to meet.

Lin Bin, born in 68, first worked for Microsoft in another time and space, and in 2000, he was invited by Li Kaifu to join Microsoft Research Asia as a research and development manager.

In 2003, he founded the Microsoft Asia Engineering Institute and served as the engineering director.

In 06, at the invitation of Li Kaifu, he served as the vice president of Google China Engineering Research Institute and the director of global engineering at Google.

Later, Li Kaifu left Google, and Lin Bin, who had always been his beneficiary, was confused, so he was poached by Rebus to start a business together and became the deputy head of Xiaomi.

At this time and space, Li Kaifu's resignation was a few months earlier, although it has not been officially submitted, but Lin Bin, as his right-hand man, still knows it.

What he knows better is that Google is about to pull out of the Chinese market. And he has been working in China for many years, and he is faced with the choice of returning to the company's headquarters or finding a way out in China.

It happened that a headhunter found him at this time and said that Lu Yan, the founder of the world's first group buying website, wanted to invite him to make a mobile phone together.

At the moment when he first heard this invitation, Lin Bin's heart refused.

Lu Yan's group buying website has not yet been listed, can he do things well if he is distracted from making mobile phones at this time?

But after thinking about it, this "Chinese stock god", the creator of the world's first group buying website, may have some novel ideas, and it is good to talk about it in the past before agreeing to meet.

The location is in a café near Zhongguancun in the capital, as soon as they met, Lin Bin took out seven or eight mobile phones from his bag, including Apple's Iphone3 and domestic copycat machines, but he planned to take these things and sit down.

Clinker Lu Yan also came prepared, and took out more than a dozen mobile phones from a backpack, all of which are currently on the market and are more representative.

Judging from this "pomp" alone, Lin Bin lost a lot.

But asked: "Mr. Lu's group buying website is doing just right, why do you suddenly want to make a mobile phone again!"

"At present, users of group buying websites mostly rely on PC operations, but the future is the world of mobile Internet, and smart phones have a lot to do! Mr. Lin has plans to leave Google, but he doesn't know what he wants to do?"

Lin Bin didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I want to make Internet music!"

Lu Yan said magnificently: "It's overkill, there's nothing to do in this industry, just spend some money to invest, let's make mobile phones together!"

Lin Bin took a breath of cool air, the post-80s in front of him was full of domineering! Calling him this post-60s, there was a feeling of falling into the downwind.

Immediately said: "Today's domestic mobile phone market, Nokia covers the high, medium and low-end, Apple was born, the user experience is excellent, Samsung has capital, technology and brand advantages, domestic mobile phones are fighting in the low-end market, let's do it, where is the advantage?"

Lu Yan replied, the Internet platform sells mobile phones, and there is no middleman to make the difference!

Lin Bin was stunned, can this kind of thing still be sold online?

But when I think about it, it seems that it can be done, but I ask, can it be done?

Lu Yan said: "The Meituan I founded is equivalent to a local preferential group purchase. And the Internet platform sells mobile phones, which can be regarded as a factory physical group purchase!"

Lin Bin was stunned again, and he had a feeling of being cheerful. But if you think about it carefully, isn't this Dell's official website direct sales model?

Q, where does the money come from?

Lu Yan replied, I still have nearly 200 million in cash and 300 million worth of stocks, and I also have some real estate. Besides, don't you also have shares in Microsoft and Google?

Lin Bin said, that's my family background that has worked for decades!

Lu Yan said earnestly, Uncle Lin, don't you see that you keep that little bit of shares just for investment, you have to invest in yourself!

Lin Bin asked again, what should I do when the money is spent?

Lu Yanxiao, financing, it's really not good, I still have stocks and real estate, and shares of Meituan, but I haven't been financed yet!

Lin Bin was very moved, but he didn't dare to start a business impulsively, so he said that he would go home and discuss it with his wife first.

He is different from entrepreneurs like Lu Yan, who can only be regarded as a senior talent in a large company before, and his income is not small compared with ordinary people. But compared to billionaires, it's not enough.

After a fierce struggle in his heart, and at the same time, seeing the rapid development of Lu's Meituan, Lin Bin and his wife felt that Lu Yan was an entrepreneur with a high chance of success.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, resigned, sold stocks, joined Lu Yan's Shenzhou Technology Company, and made mobile phones together.

After joining in, Lin Bin became the deputy head and second-in-command of Shenzhou Technology, and the first thing he had to do was to use his contacts when he worked at Microsoft and Google to find talents for Lu Yan.

The reason why elite students are more likely to succeed than ordinary people is because of their strong connections.

If you want to do anything, you can always find talents in technology research and development, product development, venture capital, marketing and other aspects through the relationship between alumni, classmates, and colleagues working in famous companies.

It's really a bit of a feudal era, the feeling of being a teacher and the same year as a reader.
