Xia Yu's boldness infected Yang Chunsheng, and it was absolutely no problem to win Jingwei Technology for 17 million.

He immediately nodded and said, "I'll give you good news today!"

Speaking of which, it has been almost a month since Polestar Electronics established the mobile phone R&D division a year ago and officially established the NJStar A100 project.

In addition to recruiting and adjusting the team in the early stage, preparing various equipment and instruments, and assigning R&D tasks in small groups, a lot of research was also carried out later, including experiments on screens, buttons, memory, shell materials, etc.

Of course, more importantly, communication tests around the baseband chip are also being carried out, mainly through guò simulators.

Now that the main chips are set, a lot of work can be carried out smoothly.

So Yang Chunsheng was also very happy, and said with a smile: "The research and development of A100 has just reached the bottleneck, even if we do a good job of the motherboard circuit scheme and communication module, the effect on the simulator cannot be compared with the actual effect!"

Of course, Xia Yu understood, and replied: "I understand that the first batch of 100 test chips from Qualcomm will be delivered tomorrow, and research and development must continue to be grasped." By the way, Brother Yang, the mini-game I mentioned to you last time is built-in, is there any progress?"

At this time, the most popular mini-games are Snake and Tetris, in addition to dice rolling, rainbow ladders, etc., which can be played with ordinary black and white screens, and they don't take up much memory, so Xia Yu doesn't plan to let it go.

These classic mini-games have a long history, and the copyright has changed hands several times and become very complicated, which is a bit troublesome to operate.

But as long as you are willing, you can still contact a professional copyright agency to operate this matter.

In order to avoid copyright disputes, Polestar is not ready to save this money, and this matter has been explained for a while.

Yang Chunsheng didn't quite understand why Xia Yu valued these small games so much, but he still nodded: "Peng Wenshan has had contact with Motorola before, and he is in charge." It just so happened that we met yesterday and he said that we had been approached and were negotiating. ”

"That's good, you can't save this money. Of course, it is still necessary to buy out a single model, and it is not possible to divide it. ”

"Okay, Mr. Xia rest assured. ”

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu was not idle, and asked Fan Pingze about the progress of the industrial design team.

According to his consistent requirements for Polestar products, no matter what the functional positioning of the product is, the industrial design, especially the exterior design, must have its own style.

Fan Pingze has also recruited some experienced people here, and he has been trying non-stop for a while. Xia Yu also often participates in discussions by email.

Polestar's first phone can't afford to fail, so it's a bit more demanding.

The benchmark product he set for the A100 was the 1110 launched by Nokia half a year later, but that was the positioning in terms of function and price, and the design still had to continue the elegant and fashionable style on the Polaris series products, so as to maintain brand recognition and transfer some of the "star fans" to the mobile phone field.

At present, the general plan is still the continuation of the six colored shells of the Polaris K2 in terms of style, including some corner detail design elements, and it is almost in the final stage.

But. Because I plan to open the mold and do it myself, although I have hired an experienced engineer, the test work is also troublesome.

Fan Pingze said that it could be completed within 10 days without delaying the overall construction period. This made Xia Yu very satisfied.

After all, there is still someone available!

……

Yang Bo's Douban has been online for a week, but it is still in the internal testing stage, and an invitation code is required to register and log in.

Because some friends helped before, plus the publicity in forums such as "Tianya Reading". At present, there are more than 300 registered users.

According to Xia Yu's construction, this new Douban network is a little different from the previous life, of course, but the progress is advanced.

In the previous life, when Douban was first launched. The main focus is only on "Books" and a preliminary personal homepage.

When Bluestar invested in shares, Xia Yu chatted with him for a long time, and successfully persuaded him to directly add "movies" and "music", and at the same time designed richer personal homepage projects, and opened the "group" function.

In addition, users are allowed to upload books, tracks, and movie entries in advance, and even encourage users to label their favorite projects, while enriching them with features such as "Collection" and "Star Rating".

However, the "one-sentence comment" is temporarily closed, so as not to comment directly on the forum saliva.

Later, the popular Douban radio on the homepage and the recommendation items generated according to the background algorithm such as "similar books" and "people who are most similar to your tastes" were not perfect enough, and they need to wait.

To put it simply, this Douban network is about the same level as at the end of 2005. It's a lot more powerful, but the page design is simple, beautiful, and without any ads.

Therefore, although there are only more than 300 registered users, the activity is not low, with more than half of the number of people online every day, and several public welfare groups have been born.

Of course, the biggest change for Yang Bo may be that he finally doesn't have to struggle alone.

With the 1 million funds of Bluestar Venture Capital, and Xia Yu's idea, he really needed more manpower and computing resources, so he rented a small office near Chaoyangmen.

At present, there are four employees on Douban, namely two designers and two operations - Yang Bo himself in terms of IT and website design, as for administrative finance, at least not yet.

Speaking of which, the myth of "one's Douban" in later generations was broken by himself, and Xia Yu himself felt a little weird.

When he walked into the small office, Yang Bo was in a meeting with the few employees he had.

Because the room was not big, Xia Yu knocked lightly at the door, and the movement passed.

Yang Bo looked up and saw him, gestured, and then came out to greet him.

"Mr. Xia, why didn't you call when you arrived?"

He now knows that Xia Yu is the founder of Polestar Electronics, and he has a good impression of this young "successful person" in the industry.

Of course, the main reason is that Xia Yu gave himself a lot of ideas in addition to investing, and many ideas are also very consistent with himself. Moreover, Xia Yu is not mixed in the actual operation and development strategy of Douban, and is close to the image of the ideal investor in his mind.

Can it not fit, that is your general idea later, and I don't have time to take care of your website......

Of course, even if he has time, Xia Yu doesn't plan to point fingers at Douban.

There is a saying in later generations that the reason why Douban is Douban is an Internet "miracle" that Tencent is difficult to replicate. In the final analysis, it is due to the personal feelings of its founder, Abei.

Xia Yu looked at the office of less than 30 square meters, and said with a smile: "Our conditions are so difficult......

Yang Bo didn't think it was okay, at least it was enough for a short time." We're in a meeting to summarize the week's testing, let's hear about it?"

When Xia Yu was introduced as the company's investor and the founder of Polestar Electronics, the employees of Douban were a little excited.

Polestar Electronics is not so famous now, I can't imagine that the founder is so young!

The meeting continued, and a middle-aged man with glasses, who was a friend of Abei, was invited to come over to take charge of the content operation and began to report on the internal testing of Douban: the number of user registrations and activity, and the visits to each sub-page. Feedback on test projects, various bugs found and improved on the site......

It can be seen that this is also a more knowledgeable talent.

Next, someone introduced other situations, and finally Yang Bo's summary, and set the goal of breaking through 3,000 users by the end of March.

Speaking of which, developing 300 users in a week and 3,000 in a month is not fast.

However, this is Abei's operating idea, at least in the early days, he hopes that the quality of users can be stable above a high level.

Historically, Douban was not officially considered for commercialization until after 08. Prior to this, Abei had always maintained and operated it as his spiritual home.

It is precisely the persistence of this concept that has enabled Douban in the early days to maintain a super high reputation, and the quality of users is also quite high, and even more than half of them have a college degree or above.

After the meeting. Xia Yu chatted with Yang Bo privately for a while, first of all, to support his concept: "Mr. Yang, congratulations first, now Douban's model is very good." Hopefully, you'll stick to it as you want it to go. Commercialization is the last thing to consider. ”

Yang Bo was happy to hear this: "According to my opinion, Douban should at least consider adding some commercial links when there are more than 10 million users, but you should also choose carefully." ”

"Hmm. If there is not enough funds in the later stage, we can talk again. ”

Yang Bo said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Xia for your support! But we just spent 200,000 yuan, so we should be able to last for a long time...... By the way, does Mr. Xia have a Douban account?"

"Yes!" Xia Yu smiled mysteriously: "It's quite active, but I won't tell you first, see if you can find out?"

……

Compared with Douban, Autohome's operation progress is much faster.

Because he is a media attribute, Li Xiang led the team to work content operation on the one hand, and on the other hand, to constantly advertise and compete with other websites, especially the portal's car channel.

At present, their daily visitors have exceeded the 100,000 mark, which has reached the second-tier level of the industry, and its main professional new car evaluation function is very popular with users and car manufacturers, which has won it a good reputation, and has also begun to generate advertising revenue.

In addition, a more complete library of models has been launched, and continuous work is being carried out to improve the number of models.

What is rare is that Li Xiang's team is not impetuous, and it is still in a steady state. Bluestar Ventures' investment in Autohome is 4 million, and it is currently less than 500,000.

After Xia Yu learned about them in the past, he was also very satisfied with their situation.

High school and high school graduates do this process, this is probably talent, and at the same time, there is also a feeling of excellence in it.

learned more about Yang Bo and Li Xiang's two projects in one day, and Xia Yu was also touched.

When he returned to the hotel that night, he began to think about the Internet in earnest.

Although smartphones are the most profitable field, if you look at influence, large Internet companies should not be underestimated, and they can promote their main business, at least the search traffic and the convenience of e-commerce are very important.

If you count the influence of public opinion such as Weibo and **, there are more things that can be done.

In his previous life, when he was making investments, he had the most contact with Internet and mobile Internet companies, and he knew these very well. And Yang Bo and Li Xiang's respective feelings and efforts also made him start to think about this.

In 2005, the most prosperous companies were Shanda and NetEase, both of which relied on games to get ahead.

Shanda Group almost acquired Sina last month, but it was not embarrassed by Sina's "poison pill plan", but it was still very strong, and NetEase successfully transformed into a first-tier game company with the agency of "World of Warcraft", and Ding Lei has just become the new richest man in China.

However, Xia Yu doesn't know much about the game and is not interested. He set his mind on something else.

It's just that the three giants of Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba are already strong enough at this time, occupying the three major fields of search, social networking and e-commerce respectively, and their positions are difficult to shake......

Wrong!

Taobao is only a C2C of a personal online store at this time, and the B2C model of large-scale operation will have to wait for a long time! And there is also Jingdong Mall, a B2C giant that only began to emerge in 06 years, has grown up. Well, at this time, Jingdong Mall has just started, and you can check the information and get in touch;

I missed Facebook on the social side, but the SNS model itself is very interesting. At this time, Renren has not yet been born, if you can invest in one or do it yourself, you can also directly transform to micro-information in the future, and you can't compete if you lay out early......

He was a little moved. (To be continued......)

PS: The first update!Yesterday I almost didn't catch up with the update of the second chapter.,Backstage Lan Xiang......

The valuable monthly pass support of several brothers such as Fireworks Easy Cold, xiaobin~, RAKERZHANG, zeroGazer, and mangmangliu, as well as the reward support of several old friends such as Liangcheng Leng, Li Xhua, SO Simple, and Remembering and Forgetting!

I'm too busy with work these days, and I can't add more for the time being, so I'll try to keep the quality and quantity first. I will definitely make up for it afterwards. I still owe you three more!
