Li Mu really wants to buy a suite. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the one hand, I don't have a suite in Yanjing, and on the other hand, I am also in the consideration of Yanjing housing prices, so it is always a good thing to buy early, and it is still very easy to buy a suite with spare money in hand.

Li Mu had this idea before, but buying a house was not just needed for him, and he couldn't take care of it when he was busy, but for Zhao Kang, he always had the idea of buying a house in his heart, after all, he and Wang Jia are still in love, and the two of them are always coming out to open a house every once in a while, although Zhao Kang doesn't feel sorry for the money to open a house, but he also wants to have a fixed little love nest, that feeling is completely different from going to a hotel to open a room, and the latter's psychological satisfaction is obviously much stronger.

Li Mu saw that he proposed to buy a house, so he decided to take the time to take a look recently, and if there was a suitable one, he would buy a set.

Then Li Mu called Chen Ze again, and the car came back, and he had to help with the license plate, and it was not the one he said before, but two cars for himself and Zhao Kang, and two license plates.

For Chen Ze, two sets of license plates starting with A8 is not a difficult thing, Li Mu made a phone call to explain the situation, and he immediately gave Li Mu a package ticket, and said: "I'll arrange it later, and let them contact you to make an appointment to get a license plate at the DMV on Monday." ”

Li Mu was relieved when he heard this, and thanked him, Chen Ze said again: "By the way, I contacted a relatively high-end track design company in Italy, and their surveyors will come to China next week, and I am going to take them to survey the land we have a fancy to, and choose a suitable address to come up with a set of mature design plans, and the design plan will be introduced, so we can prepare for the construction of the track first." ”

Li Mu asked him: "Is there no problem with the land?"

Chen Ze said: "I have already said hello to the city government for the whole piece of land, and after choosing the address, the city government can approve the land permit at any time, and I have already dredged these processes." ”

Li Mu asked again: "If the track site selection design starts to start, according to our future CSC club supporting facilities, it will also start as soon as possible, how did you communicate with Duffy about this matter?"

Chen Ze said a little excitedly: "I have basically decided with her, and she will resign and come back after the track site selection, and then directly join our real estate company with Brother Liang." ”

Saying that, Chen Ze said: "I promised her that our real estate company would develop large-scale commercial real estate within three years, and handed her over to be the chief designer, if it can't be realized, I'm afraid she will hate me to death." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Don't worry, it is not a big problem to operate a large-scale commercial real estate for three years, and if it goes well, it is not impossible within two years." ”

Chen Ze said: "I can't control so much now, let's fool her back first, and then I'll leave the rest to you." ”

After chatting with Chen Ze, Li Mu waited until the evening, that is, the morning of New York time, to make a special call to Du Fei.

I've always wanted to find Duffy, two things.

One is that I don't know how the registration of the company is going now, and the other is to ask her if she knows a reliable industrial designer or team.

Thinking that Mark Zuckerberg will launch Facemash in October this year, which is the prelude to entrepreneurship, Li Mu feels that in the first half of the year, he must pocket Facebook's main domain name and a series of related domain names, and it is best to put it directly under the name of an American company, so that it will be much more convenient to trade domain names, communicate with Mark Zuckerberg in the future, or even invest in Mark Zuckerberg.

Another one, Taobao is already under development, Fang Xudong has not only been developing the core architecture, but also will return to China soon, Taobao will not be able to go online soon, and then he will have to make the customized MP3 of Yiting.com, and the design is urgent.

Du Fei told Li Mu on the phone that the company's process has been almost gone, and now it only needs to wait for the final review, and it will definitely be solved within a few working days, as for the industrial design matter, she heard about Li Mu's needs, and said to Li Mu: "I found that your luck is very good, no wonder people like you start a business, and the money is running into your pocket like a leg!"

Li Mu was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Duffy said: "I just know a British chick, graduated in 2000 from Northumbria University School of Design in the United States, one of the palace-level colleges of design, and she is recognized as a genius in the school, after graduation, she traveled around the world by herself, while receiving industrial design orders from some enterprises, she did not graduate when she designed a mobile phone for Ericsson, and also won an award in Sweden. IBM has cooperated with these Fortune 500 companies, but they still have offers from several large international companies. ”

Li Mu sighed: "So high-end? I just want to design an MP3, I don't know if people can look at it?"

Duffy said: "What she herself does is the industrial design of electronic products, isn't MP3 on the rise now? Do you know that there is an Apple company in the United States that has come up with an MP3 player with a good reputation, called the iPod?"

Li Mu snorted: "Of course I know." "But in my heart, I was saying, in fact, I was going to copy the shape of the iPod-Nano4, I will tell you?

Duffy added: "She's a big fan of the iPod, so I think she'll be interested in designing an MP3 player." ”

Li Mu asked her, "Then do you have her contact information?"

Du Fei said: "She doesn't have a mobile phone abroad, she only uses email and MSN, she seems to be in a country around China now, and some time ago she told me on MSN that she is going to China in early May." ”

Li Mu was overjoyed: "That's great, it's best to meet and talk, you can help me ask her when she will come to Huaxia, please make sure she sets the first stop in Yanjing, and I will entertain the whole process at that time, you can talk about business while traveling to the good scenery of Yanjing." ”

"Okay!" said Duffy, "She's the kind of girl with a very cool personality, and she also attaches great importance to feelings, and if you take good care of her, you might even be able to become friends." ”

Li Mu said: "You still don't worry about my errands, if she comes to Yanjing, I will definitely make her feel at home." ”

Duffy said: "Then I'll leave her a message on MSN later, see if she can go to Huaxia in advance, and then tell her about your situation, if she is interested, you can meet and talk about the rest." ”

"Good!"

After communicating with Du Fei, Li Mu couldn't help but secretly think: If the other party is really a very talented industrial designer as Du Fei said, then this person is indeed like a charcoal in the snow for himself.

For the present, the current electronic products have not yet entered the intelligent era, the core of digital products is actually in the industrial design, the arrival of smart phones before the arrival of several popular mobile phones, except for Nokia because of the cost performance and rugged quality, the others are basically because of its excellent industrial design.

Whether it's Samsung's slider and rotating camera, or LG's chocolate that blushes when you touch it, or Motorola's Razr-V3, for example, are all products that win by design, especially V3, the world's most classic flip phone, with excellent industrial design, achieved global sales of 130 million units, Li Mu still remembers V3's deep-rooted nickname - Blade.

Li Mu wants to use MP3 players to promote the development of Yiting.com and Taobao at the same time, then this MP3 must be as perfect as possible, especially in industrial design, if it can make consumers amazing, then their plan will be a great success, so good industrial design talents are essential.

Moreover, Li Mu also has a hardware dream in his heart, and hardware is the biggest cake in the future Internet market, any Internet person with great ambitions will not give up the pursuit of hardware, but Li Mu never thought about the dream of starting hardware manufacturing too early, he hopes to wait for two years, and then cut into the hardware market when the smartphone is ready to rise. However, if the time does come early, then it is not necessarily a bad thing to get involved in hardware manufacturing early.

The reason why Apple is strong, software is only one aspect, and the more powerful is the sales of hardware, Microsoft, like Apple, is very strong in the field of software, but the former is infinitely inferior to the latter in terms of hardware. Thousands of yuan of hardware products, its customer unit price is much higher than the software industry or the Internet virtual service industry, and once the user has a viscosity to the hardware, then this high customer unit price investment will also have a cyclical nature, a senior Apple fan, three years in the Apple product investment of at least more than 10,000 US dollars or more, the profit margin is amazing.

Thinking of these,Li Mu on the custom MP3 plan to see a little more seriously,If the entry point is selected well,And can come up with amazing products,Maybe it's a good opportunity to cut into the hardware field,Look at the hardware market with a future vision,In fact, it's not much more difficult than the software market,As long as the way is right,Do hardware can also be asset-light,The most important point is to never produce any hardware yourself。

Internet companies do hardware, only need to do a good job in industrial design, do a good job in software design, and then choose a reliable foundry to carry out the production, as long as they strictly do a good job in quality control, the whole process of hardware production will be done, and the rest is promotion and sales.

Now the electronic hardware manufacturers are still laying sales channels, the head office to the regional general generation to the provincial agent and then to the municipal agent, the establishment of this sales channel is quite difficult, and there are a large number of dealers need to manage and maintain, not only greatly increased the cost, but also increased a lot of uncontrollable factors, but for the current manufacturers, they have no other way, because e-commerce is now just a baby, huge manufacturers will not put it in their eyes at all, and will not see how much of its role will be。

Li Mu is now preparing for the launch of Taobao.com, that is to say, he is now building an online sales channel that abandons traditional sales channels. (To be continued.) )
