Closing the lid of the computer, Fang Nian took out a blank piece of A4 paper, picked up the pen and wrote down some words:

QQ, browser, Alipay, Sogou input method......

The text is preceded by a serial number.

Then, Fang Nian marked something new under this line of text.

Tencent, Xiaomi Miliao, Lei Shan Investment, Alibaba, third-party ......

Finally, a circle was drawn on the outside of the text.

A few words were written: Application Ecosystem.

According to Fang Nian's memory, these are the software with the largest number of users in the past two years, which can be regarded as a superficial application ecosystem.

Then Fang Nian wrote a label on this piece of paper: 10 years.

Putting down the pen and picking up the mobile phone on the desk, Fang Nian quickly slid the screen to dial out the phone.

"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~"

After the fourth ring, the phone was answered.

"Hey. ”

After hearing the voice, Fang Nian smiled and said, "Good evening Mr. Lei, I'm sorry to take the liberty of disturbing." ”

"Good evening, Mr. Fang. Lei Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Fang called me so late, is there something wrong?" ”

Fang Nian didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Yes." ”

"There are some things I want to talk to Mr. Lei about. ”

Lei Yan hurriedly said: "Mr. Fang, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"I just had a video chat with my subject, and a few words I inadvertently chatted with me, which made me have some ideas, please ask General Staff Officer Lei for one or two. ”

Fang Nian did not take the credit for occupying Lu Weiyu.

"In your opinion, what is the most important factor for most young consumers in our country to choose a mobile phone at present?"

This question was asked by Lei Xian.

He replied uncertainly: "Appearance, price, standby time is not long......"

Fang Nian smiled: "My partner told me: the mobile phone does not support QQ." ”

"Mr. Lei can go to the mobile phone store to observe, and he will definitely see a line written on the price tag card of the mobile phone in the cabinet: support mobile phone QQ. ”

Lei Yan reacted immediately, but his tone was very hesitant: "Mr. Fang means ......"

"I don't know if Mr. Lei has paid attention to the development status of smartphones at the international level, especially in the field of smartphone operating systems. "Fang Nian is good at it.

Lei Yan's tone was impassive: "I have attention, but I don't know what Mr. Fang is referring to." ”

Hearing this, Fang Nian smiled and quipped: "Mr. Lei, you are a little dishonest;

Since Meizu released the M8 last year, you have repeatedly taken it out in public to educate everyone about the benefits of this smartphone. ”

Choked for a moment, Fang Nian's words changed sharply, and his tone was serious.

"As far as I know, there are many smartphone operating systems in the world, and the market is very chaotic, but none of them have anything to do with China. ”

"Does Mr. Fang mean BlackBerry, MeeGo, or Android, iPhone OS, and WCE?" Lei Yan subconsciously asked.

Fang Nian said casually: "WCE will undoubtedly be a thing of the past, Microsoft has been pushing WP since last month, and it will obviously focus on it." ”

Then he added seemingly casually: "Mr. Lei, the world is blooming, and China seems to be forgotten." ”

Linked to what Fang Nian said before, Lei Yan suddenly reacted: "What Mr. Fang means is that Xiaomi can directly develop a smartphone operating system, and only need to let QQ develop the corresponding version to win the basic market?"

That's pretty much what it means. Fang Nian did not deny it.

Then he said in a calm tone: "Mr. Lei, I speak directly."

In my opinion, the mobile operating system is a platform, in addition to the necessary self-contained applications, the test of success is market acceptance;

Basically, there are two aspects: user experience and upper-layer application ecology;

Instead of following Meizu's lead and developing a more convenient and easy-to-use UI for Android, why not just develop an operating system?"

Hearing this, Lei Yan sighed, and his tone was a little helpless: "Mr. Fang's eyes are really sharp. ”

This sentence is tantamount to admitting in disguise that Fang Nian saw through Xiaomi's original intention of starting a business.

If there is no intervention in Fang Nian, Xiaomi will develop according to the original trajectory, and the story in this will become the past of China's mobile phones.

If it weren't for Guan Qiuhe's talent points, Fang Nian estimated that it would be difficult for Fang Nian to know Lei Yan so early.

Because at this time, standing in front of the stage was actually the partner invited by Lei Yan, Lin Yi.

Lei Yan is behind the scenes.

In fact, when Lei Yan suddenly mentioned the word 'Meizu' in Fang Nian, he had a hunch that the first-time freshman students he invited with 5% permanent shares must be far beyond imagination.

And so it was.

Fang Nian said calmly: "There are always a lot of thunders. ”

The conversation changed and said: "At present, the top five domestic mobile phone application software downloads must be: QQ, UC browser, Sogou input method, these can be discussed, to cooperate." ”

Lei Yan was silent for a while, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Mr. Fang, what you said is inexplicable, I think things are very simple. ”

Hearing this, Fang Nian said with a smile: "It's not complicated, UC Browser is owned by Youshi, which Mr. Lei invested;

I heard that Sohu intends to make Sogou independent and introduce strategic investment;

As for QQ, maybe the Mi Chat developed by Xiaomi can replace it. ”

Lei Yan also laughed: "Why do you have to self-own the application ecology in the blink of an eye?"

"Mr. Lei misunderstood, I was just talking about an extreme case. Fang Nian quipped.

Then he changed his nonchalant tone: "Personally, I like to maximize benefits through cooperation;

After all, it supports Android.,The number of applications in these systems of iPhone OS is more than 100,000.,Far from what I said, these three or five application software can be compared.。

But I think at least one acre and three points of land in China have something to talk about. ”

Lei Yan agreed with the emotion: "Planting the sycamore tree attracts the phoenix." ”

“......”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Nian said a few more words.

"In fact, the field of smart phone hardware is actually similar, a hundred flowers are blooming in the world, China is silent, we Xiaomi can be more active. ”

Hearing the word 'more', Lei Yan smiled bitterly: "I really can't hide anything from Mr. Fang, no wonder Mr. Guan will respect your information analysis ability so much." ”

Fang Nian sighed: "Actually, everyone has a misunderstanding about me, I just watch more things every day, and it is very difficult to make some money from the countryside." ”

Lei Yan said insincerely: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Fang Nian didn't care, and continued: "After all, the fourth-generation mobile communication standard has been brewing for a long time, and maybe the standard will be issued in the next two years." ”

"The entrance to the mobile Internet will only be smartphones......

“......”

When he hung up the phone, Lei Yan's hearty laughter almost surrounded the entire study: "Mr. Fang always give me a night's time." ”

He was almost completely moved by Fang Nian's words.

may be because Fang Nian inadvertently said: I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Or maybe the future market layout map that came out of Fang Nian's mouth is too dreamy and perfect, and it has all the yearning of Lei Yan, who was born in science and engineering.

Or, Lei Yan more truly sees Xiaomi's broader future prospects.

It may also be that compared with these, Lei Yan agrees more with the words on Fang Nian's lips: cooperation, win-win and the Chinese dream.

In short, Lei Yan's original intention of founding Xiaomi was changed from beginning to end by Fang Nian.

Because Fang Nian said these words from the perspective of the future ten years later.

There are many stories of China and the world that are happening and not yet happening.

In fact, in the surging mobile Internet around the world in the next decade, there are many things that were not decided until 2010.

For example, Apple will officially change the name of iPhone OS to iOS in June, and apply it to mobile devices such as iPads and iPods.

Microsoft officially released WP7.0 in October.

Last month, Linux kernel developers removed Android drivers from the Linux kernel, and Android and the mainstream of Linux development parted ways.

Google will release Android 2.2 in May, and Google will announce more than 100,000 Android apps in October.

Nokia is actively seeking cooperation, first preparing the N900 with Maemo, but ultimately failed to go on sale;

Then he turned to MeeGo, and only a little more than a year later, he announced that he was abandoning the system, but still launched the N9 full of pathos;

Then embraced WP without hesitation, and finally the mobile phone business collapsed......

And so on and so forth.

At this point in time, no matter what company develops and launches the smartphone operating system, the application is not perfect and friendly enough.

Not to mention the ecosphere in the strict sense of the word.

In China, only a negligible fraction of people know about smartphones, and most people hesitate only between Nokia and Motorola when choosing a high-end phone.

More people will buy a miscellaneous copycat phone for only a few hundred yuan.

When most people choose a mobile phone, one of the things they pay the most attention to is really just: whether there is a mobile phone QQ.

............

This night, there were a lot of people who didn't sleep.

This does not include the square year.

He slept soundly.

Good rest habits were not affected.

But even so, Fang Nian, who was woken up by a good biological clock before six o'clock almost every day, was woken up by phone call in advance on the morning of Saturday, March 20, for the first time.

It's Lei Yin's phone.

Fang Nian answered the phone while opening the curtains, and the sky was just dawning.

couldn't help but yawn, Fang Nian said seriously: "Mr. Lei has worked hard all night. ”

Lei Yan apologized: "Disturb Mr. Fang to sleep, right?"

"It's okay, just a few minutes. Fang Nian replied casually, "It's time to get up soon." ”

Then he took the initiative to get down to business: "Mr. Lei came to me so early, he should have made a decision." ”

Lei Yan said calmly: "Yes, I discussed with a few partners last night all night, and finally decided unanimous to do it in one step. ”

"Direct development of smartphone operating systems. ”

"Preparing for the smartphone department. ”

Fang Nian said seriously: "Congratulations to Mr. Lei." ”

"2010 is sure to be the most beautiful year. ”

Lei Yan laughed: "Mr. Fang is talented." ”

Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, Fang Nian's tone was a little lazy.

"At present, China Cool Union, which occupies 75% of China's mobile phone market, is still embracing operators to sell mobile phones;

Apple didn't even solve a signal problem, and it had to jailbreak to use Apple in China;

Nokia collaborates everywhere to make operating systems;

The world is full of flowers, and no one is alone.

Mr. Lei, think about it, is there any better era than now?"

Hearing this, Lei Yan said with heartfelt emotion: "Mr. Fang is really insightful. ”

He called Fang Nian so early, just because he wanted Fang Nian to give him more confidence.

Fang Nian heard the sound and knew what he meant, and drew a big enough cake for Lei Yin.

"I would venture to ask, why is Mr. Fang so optimistic about the smartphone market?"

Fang Nian thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe it's because humans will be more and more inseparable from mobile phones, so I'm optimistic about it." ”

"With the current development of smartphones, more work should be done in the near future instead of computers, especially after the arrival of the 4G era. ”

Lei Yan agreed: "It is said that 4G, which will be comparable to the speed of WiFi, can make mobile phones get a better Internet experience, and may be a quiet replacement for computers." ”

"For smartphones, does Mr. Fang have any advice for Xiaomi?"

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Yes, but not now;

Because I personally think Xiaomi should do a good job of MIOS and user experience first, and learn the lessons of Symbian, maemo, MeeGo, Blackberry and WP;

When appropriate, cooperate with like-minded people or companies for a win-win situation.

By the way, I hide the smartphone department. ”

As soon as Lei Yan heard this, he instantly understood: "Thank you, Mr. Fang." ”

"No thanks. Fang Nian said with a smile.

In the end, Lei Yan said: "I have gained a lot from coming to Shencheng this time, and it is a pity that I can't say goodbye to Mr. Fang in person." ”

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Another day, Lei will always be free to come to Shencheng again, I will definitely prepare a Coke for you." ”

Lei Yan smiled: "Hey, Mr. Fang even knows this." ”

"There is no way to run a small business, you can only do the work in place. Fang Nian said with a serious face, "So I can't touch such a major event as changing the world." ”

Hearing the words 'change the world', Lei Yan, who was financially free after the age of 40 and came out to start a business, laughed heartily: "Haha, Mr. Fang is really humble. ”

“......”

Lei Yan refers to due diligence, Fang Nian said in accordance with the words.

Actually, he investigated a ghost.

However, Fang Nian also gave Lei Yin enough information points.

For example, mobile Internet entrances and tuyeres.

For example, in the end, on the one hand, Fang Nian told Lei Yan that the user experience of the big ticket system is not good.

On the other hand, it is also an expression of cooperation, which requires a minimum of strength.

No one knew that the phone call that Fang Nian took the initiative to make to Lei Yan was all improvised after being ordered by Lu Weiyu.

Thanks to Lei Yin, he now respects Fang Nian.

Actually, it's nothing more than -

Fang Taigong fished, and Lei Yan took the bait.

So much for.

〇: Part of the content is extracted from the past of China's mobile phones, 2010 is actually promising, at that time no one may have thought about the possibility of directly doing mobile phone systems.
