Chapter 88

The final result of the startup competition is not made on the spot, but is decided after an "internal review".

As for how to "conduct internal reviews", it is not enough for outsiders.

"Senior brother, you played well in this final, there is always a place for us in the top three, right?"

A group of colleagues from Liuer Software Company hugged Hou Shida out of the Xiangshan Hotel, Liu Xiaojing was very concerned about this imperial capital hukou, and she never forgot it along the way.

Hou Shida didn't have much hope for this, after all, he has worked for many years, and he still doesn't know what this kind of competition is all about? If the imperial capital account is so easy, then it is not called the imperial capital account. On the one hand, I want to try my luck in the competition, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as looking at the face of Director Yan Congyan.

This is not an imperial capital account hanging, and the work efficiency of the entire company has directly tripled in recent months. The software was expected to be completed in three months, but it took only one and a half months and less than two months to complete the test. Even if Liuer Company returns empty-handed in this entrepreneurship competition, Hou Shida can at least save tens of thousands of yuan in salary.

What's more, the time of product development can be advanced even one day, which is good news. Once the six-ear input method software generates revenue, how much profit will it make a month in advance?

Wang Menglong of Qiandu is so anxious and gaffe, which is enough to see the bright future of the platform of input method. If history can give Qiandu another chance, it is absolutely necessary to take the Sogou input method from the mother's womb. It's just because Sohu has the Sogou input method, and the search market of Qiandu was bitten off a piece of meat by Sogou?

It is said that the inventor of the Sogou input method still wrote a letter to Qiandu first, but the email was ignored as spam. In desperation, he took the software to Sohu, and afterwards I really don't know if Qiandu regretted all his intestines.

"Just do your best, don't get your hopes up." Hou Shida shook his head and comforted Liu Xiaojing and said: "Counting on the rewards of the competition, you might as well expect our six-ear input method to be a hit." If the company develops smoothly, you can be regarded as a veteran hero, and then the company will come forward to solve the imperial capital account for you. ”

"Ha, senior brother, this is what you said!" Liu Xiaojing laughed excitedly: "I think our six-ear input method will definitely be a hit, and my imperial capital account is counting on the company!" ”

Liu Xiaojing, as a developer of the input method, of course, understands the power of the six-ear input method. I am very confident that this input method will be successful in the market.

"No problem!" Hou Shida nodded boldly, and responded: "Now that the input method has been developed, while the results of the competition have not yet come out, let's quickly release the 1.0 version, which can also put a little pressure on the organizing committee, right?" ”

"It makes sense, let's go back to the company!" Liu Xiaojing was not as quiet as her name at all, but ran out like a crazy girl.

The group of Liuer Software Company didn't go far at the door of the Xiangshan Hotel, and suddenly saw Yang Huai of the Green Point Company following a person, and hurriedly ran towards him.

"Mr. Yang, why didn't you disappear from the venue just now?"

Hou Shida saw Yang Huai's anxious appearance, hurriedly beckoned him to slow down, and asked curiously.

"Huhu-" Yang Huai took a few deep breaths, then straightened up and said, "Mr. Hou, this is Ms. Fang Tiemei, general manager of the Meidi Imperial Capital Branch. ”

Hou Shida looked at the woman beside him, Fang Tiemei looked like she was in her thirties, and she had the calm temperament of a strong woman, but she couldn't tell how old she was. followed Yang Huai all the way, but she didn't see any tiredness, compared with Yang Huai's appearance, the image is really elegant, I don't know how much.

"This is the president of Liu'er Company, and I am Fang Tiemei, the general manager of the imperial capital of Meidi Company. After listening to Mr. Yang's introduction to you, I would love to talk to you. Fang Tiemei's physical fitness is obviously much better than Yang Huai's, and she runs more easily than him in high heels. She stretched out her hand generously and looked at Hou Shida with some curiosity and expectation.

Hou Shida was a little surprised in his heart, Meidi is not a small company at this time, and it has vaguely the status of a small overlord in the home appliance industry in the future. Although he is inferior to Haier, he is also one of the best characters.

And the general manager of the imperial capital of Meidi is also not a role that everyone can see, but he suddenly appeared in front of him, what is the matter?

"Manager Fang is lucky, I don't know what Manager Fang wants to talk to me about?" Hou Shida shook hands with her lightly and asked with some curiosity.

Fang Tiemei had a southern accent, nodded and smiled: "Why don't I ask for a cup of tea?" It just so happens that I know the manager of Xiangshan Hotel very well, and they have recently had a batch of good tea, but they can't taste it when they are free. ”

Hou Shida thought for a while, nodded and agreed. He turned to look at his colleagues behind him and asked them to take the first step, and he and Yang Huai and Fang Tiemei returned to the Xiangshan Hotel.

The three of them found a pavilion in the garden of the Xiangshan Hotel, and sure enough, a manager in uniform came over with a smile and personally brought them a pot of tea. Fang Tiemei exchanged a few words of greeting with this person, and her attitude seemed natural and cordial, and she should have a good relationship with this manager.

The waiter poured tea into the teacup in front of the three of them, and a refreshing aroma of tea wafted out. Although Hou Shida doesn't know much about tea, he feels refreshed when he smells the curling fragrance of tea.

Fang Tiemei sent away the manager of the Xiangshan Hotel who had just sat down, obviously not in the mood to taste tea, and couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Hou, I am very interested in the idea that you and Mr. Yang said. I don't know if you have any relevant cases, can you let me know more about them? ”

It is said that business negotiations always require you to come and go, but this Fang Tiemei does not have so many hypocrisy, and her straightforward attitude is very sincere.

Hou Shida picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, thought about it and sighed: "I can understand Manager Fang's urgency, but just like this tea, when the tea tree breaks the ground and buds, we can know that this is a tea tree, but there is still a long way to go before drinking tea." ”

"Is it that the current technology can't do it?" Fang Tiemei's eyes were a little disappointed, and her mood was obviously low.

Yang Huai didn't even finish the schedule of the entrepreneurship competition, and after talking to Hou Shida, he hurriedly came out of the venue and called Fang Tiemei.

He started his business in Meidi to raise funds to follow Fang Tiemei's route, and now if he wants to change the design of the product, of course, he must first obtain her consent.

But when Fang Tiemei heard Yang Huai's description, she immediately keenly sensed the value in it. It should be said that in the domestic shopping malls of this era, there are not many manufacturers who have transformed from making products to doing feelings and culture. But that doesn't mean they don't want to do it, but they can't find a way to break through for the time being.

The idea of linking home appliances with mobile phones struck her. For 2006, when electronic technology is still quite high, this is undoubtedly something that can increase the force.

And different from the concept of smart home proposed in this era, if you connect various electrical appliances through wireless network technology, instead of wired network, use mobile phones instead of computers or special systems as control terminals, which greatly reduces the difficulty and cost of smart home popularization.

Hou Shida nodded, but shook his head again: "It is not difficult to make a system alone, and it is completely possible to realize this idea with the current electronic technology." But the problem is the cost, if you make an intelligent system for the water purifier of Green Dot alone, you can only use the general chip on the market, because the output of the direct drinking water machine determines that it is not suitable for customizing the special SoC. However, if all general-purpose chips are used, from development to final production, the cost will completely wipe out the advantages of new technologies and become a toy for the rich. ”

"If it is launched as a high-end brand, it is not unacceptable......"

Although Fang Tiemei was a little disappointed, she still did not give up this idea. In her opinion, any new product has a process of turning from a luxury product into a consumer product. Take the direct drinking fountain as an example, this market is admittedly broad, but how easy is it to change the concept of ordinary people? Spending thousands of dollars to buy a product that does not require boiling water is certainly unacceptable to ordinary Chinese in this era.

The whole process of marketing will be long and arduous. In the early stage of promotion, the direct drinking water dispenser was sold as a luxury product anyway, is there any difference between three five thousand and seven or eight thousand? But it is the change in lifestyle brought about by the use of this electronic technology that can better shape the brand image of Meidi direct drinking water dispenser!

Hou Shida shook his head and pointed out the most critical question: "We invested two or three million to build such a system, maybe the latecomers only need two or three hundred thousand to imitate it." Manager Fang has thought about it, even if we want to defend our rights, how much resistance will there be in China? How high will the cost be? ”

"This ......"

Fang Tiemei was really a little confused, this idea was proposed by Hou Shida, why did she find him to cooperate with great interest, but it turned out to be poured a basin of cold water?

Is this Hou Shida playing with himself, or is he simply an unreliable person?

Judging from Yang Huai's description, this person has a project of input method software, but it is very favored by the judges of the entrepreneurship competition. Judging from his speech and performance, this person is very strategic and purposeful, not like a person who is upside down.

"So, there's no way we're going to work together?"

Fang Tiemei thought in her heart, no matter whether she could talk about Hou Shida today, since she knew this idea, even if she didn't have Six Ears Company, she would have to give it a try.

Hou Shida held the coffee table with both hands, looked into Fang Tiemei's eyes, shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I think we have to work more closely together." ”
