MTL - Rebirth Starts at 7 Million-Chapter 222 Rice Conference
It was already past 7 pm from Mr. Lei's place. Mr. Lei originally wanted to invite Luo Fan and Li Jingyi to dinner, but Luo Fan refused him.
Because today Luo Fan has made an appointment with Wang Hui in advance.
In the past two years, Wang Hui would go to Xingyuan for an internship during the winter and summer vacations. At first, he was still in the game department. Later, when the Daily Toutiao department was established, he went to the news department.
When Wang Hui was around, Luo Fan basically didn't need to worry about the daily headlines.
In the previous life, Wang Hui was almost able to get the equity incentive of NetEase News, but he chose to resign before signing the contract and go out on his own.
At that time, Wang Hui took advantage of the rise of We Media in 17 years, established his own We Media account, and also established an account.
Before Luo Fan's rebirth, Wang Hui's self-media account was one of the best in China, and his annual income was several hundred w.
Now Wang Hui is a junior, and after this summer vacation, he will be a senior. In addition to preparing the graduation thesis, there is no need for a senior to stay in school.
Luo Fan asked Wang Hui to come over for dinner this time because he wanted Wang Hui to join his company completely.
At 8 p.m. Luo Fan and Li Jingyi came to the hotel they had made an appointment with. Wang Hui and his roommates had already arrived.
After a chat, everyone took their seats.
While waiting for the food to be served, Luo Fan said straight to the point: "Wang Hui, you are going to be your senior year soon, and you don't need to stay in school except for your graduation thesis. Let's go through the formalities one day!"
"Okay!" Wang Hui agreed without thinking. He likes the atmosphere of Xingyuan very much, and he is also a "veteran" of Xingyuan. He has been an intern at Xingyuan not long after the company was established.
Especially in the news department, people are recruited by the company, but he has contributed a lot in the follow-up operation, and he can be regarded as pulling the framework together.
He likes this job very much, and even if Luo Fan doesn't say it, he will offer to join Xingyuan.
"Then you should be the vice president of the Toutiao Department like Zhou Yuqing and Zhou's vice president! When the opportunity is right, you will be a regular."
"Then I'll thank the boss in advance."
Luo Fan smiled, turned to Wang Hui's roommates and asked, "Do you want to go to my company?"
"Mr. Luo, I want to go!" Zhao Shaoyun was the first to express his position.
Zhao Shaoyun was not Luo Fan's roommate in his previous life, but went to Luo Fan's classmate. Like Luo Fan, his family conditions were not very good. His parents were honest farmers. big.
In the previous life, in order to reduce the burden on the family, Zhao Shaoyun often went to work with Luo Fan.
After graduating from university in his previous life, he went to a pig farm, and from the beginning he was involved in games.
Until Luo Fan was reborn, Zhao Shaoyun was still in the game company under the pig farm, and he didn't change jobs for many years.
Besides Wang Hui, Zhao Shaoyun is also the only one in the 606 dormitory who came to Xingyuan for an internship in the winter and summer vacations. He helped develop Clash of Clans and Happy Xiaoxiaole.
Xu Jiale admires Zhao Shaoyun very much. In his words, Zhao Shaoyun is full of innovation ability, very solid in technology, and relatively peaceful in mind, but he is too introverted. Generally speaking, he is a rare talent.
Introverted Luo Fan doesn't think it's a problem. Nine times out of ten, men are introverted because they don't have money. It's different when they have money.
Thinking of this, Luo Fan nodded and said, "Of course I am very welcome if you are willing to come. President Xu appreciates you very much, so you can be his assistant!"
"Thank you boss." Zhao Shaoyun lowered his head and said.
"Mr. Luo, I don't care! I should be able to get a postgraduate place, and I want to continue my studies." Liu Zebin refused.
Luo Fan was a little surprised to hear that, Liu Zebin didn't get a postgraduate place in his previous life!
But Luo Fan thought about it, he has been reborn, it is normal to bring some butterfly effect!
I'm not surprised by Liu Zebin's choice of Luo Fan. Liu Zebin was the most detached one in Luo Fan's dormitory in his previous life.
Like ADHD, he can't live in peace for a moment. In his previous life, he rejected a very good job and chose to go to graduate school.
Luo Fan remembers that in his previous life, Liu Zebin returned to his hometown of Hubei after finishing his postgraduate studies. He became a teacher at two universities there and lived a very comfortable life.
In the end, there was only Guo Jun, the head of the house, who didn't make a statement.
Guo Jun is Luo Fan's hometown and also from Shanxi. The relationship between Luo Fan and Guo Jun was the best in the dormitory of his previous life.
Guo Jun was admitted to Tsinghua University after repeating his studies for a year. His grade was older than those in the dormitory. Probably because of this, Guo Jun's personality was much calmer than the other three in the dormitory, and he also took care of others.
In the previous life, Luo Fan was timid and inferior, and was too embarrassed to apply for a bursary. Guo Jun helped him to do it.
Guo Jun's academic performance is also the best in their dormitory, and he was also the only graduate student in the dormitory in his previous life.
In his previous life, he had been studying for a doctorate, and then went to work in a certain place. Before Luo Fan crossed, he had already bought a house in the imperial capital. It was a big house with 160 square meters, four bedrooms, one living room and a study. As soon as he saw his wife, he decided to be his brother for life.
"Mr. Luo, I heard that your company is building a cloud service center in Shanxi?"
"yes!"
"I am more interested in this, and my postgraduate direction is also cloud computing."
"Mr. Guo can go and have a look if you are interested."
"That has to be something after graduation." Guo Jun said with a smile.
"A talent like Mr. Guo is welcome here at any time, no matter the time, as long as you want to come."
Guo Jun was a little surprised to hear that, but he didn't remember what shocking things he did when he was an intern at Xingyuan.
However, Guo Jun quickly calmed down, and he listened to Luo Fan's words as polite words.
Luo Fan didn't explain much, some things couldn't be said.
After the meal was full, everyone dispersed. Before leaving, Luo Fan pulled Wang Hui into Xingyuan's executive group.
At present, Xingyuan's executive group includes Xu Jiale, the director of the game department, Wang Jing, the director of the technical department, Li Jingyi, the director of the art department, Qin Beibei, the director of the logistics department, Cao Shuai of Xingyuan Ventures, and Zhou, the vice president of Nei Duanzi. Yuqing, Ying Qianlong and Jia Ting of the legal team, and now Wang Hui, the vice president of the news department.
It is worth mentioning that Luo Fan did not pull the financial people into this group. On the one hand, there is no suitable person to manage the financial team. On the other hand, Luo Fan wants to keep the finance outside the core management of the company. , just like the management mode of some central enterprises.
After dealing with Wang Hui and the others, Luo Fan and Li Jingyi returned to the luxurious presidential suite reserved by their subordinates.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with the beauty on the side, and the night view of the imperial capital, Luo Fan felt a sense of pride in his chest, and then the pride was transferred to his lower body.
The beautiful scenery of the good day is the most suitable for having a drink with a beautiful woman.
......
The next afternoon, Luo Fan, who put on a straight suit, and Li Jingyi, who was wearing a purple dress, came to Rice's press conference together.
This is a large conference room. At this time, the conference room was full of people. The front row was the guests invited by Mr. Lei, relying on his reputation and prestige in the Internet and the software industry, followed by various media, and finally the Rice noodles.
The first batch of rice noodles were all enthusiasts who were attracted by the MIUI system when Rice 1 was released in August last year.
Rice 1 did not carry out such a large-scale publicity as it is now.
It can be said that Rice 1 has sold 200,000 units based on its own quality, so the user stickiness of MIUI system is very amazing. Countless users have been discussing technology by MIUI developers on this forum, which also makes many rice fans travel thousands of miles from other places. Come and attend the launch of the Mi 1s mobile phone.
Now the seats in the conference room are basically full, and there are countless people lining up outside, but they can't enter the venue, which shows the degree of popularity.
"Mr. Luo, President Li, you sit in the first row, you will be on stage later." Mr. Lei personally brought Luo Fan and Li Jingyi to the front row.
"Mr. Lei, looking like this today, your mobile phone is going to sell out!" Luo Fan said as he sat down with Li Jingyi's hand.
"To be honest, I didn't expect so many people to come today." Mr. Lei said with a bright face.
"Mr. Lei, how many sets of rice 1s did you prepare? Wouldn't the first batch be 30,000 sets like rice 1?" Li Jingyi asked.
"How is that possible! We have prepared 300,000 units this time." Mr. Lei replied.
"Only 300,000 units? I don't think it's enough looking at this situation!" Luo Fan looked back at the people lining up outside the door.
Mr. Lei said with some regret after hearing the words: "I didn't expect so many people and so many fans outside, I really feel sorry for them."
"This is unexpected, Mr. Lei don't think about it so much, most people outside don't care, let's do a good job of this conference first, the mobile phone sales are up, and the next conference will go directly to the Bird's Nest. "
"Hahaha! Okay, then I'll accept your blessings from Mr. Luo." Mr. Lei turned around and left after saying that.
At 8 p.m., the press conference officially started. The venue of thousands of people was very noisy at first, but when Mr. Lei took the stage, there was only one cheering and applause.
"Are the fans of rice phones so sticky? It's surprising." Li Jingyi said.
"Actually, it's normal, but Mr. Lei wants to make rice into China's apples. If you want to make this point, there will be many people with national pride to support. Now there are people on the Internet called Mr. Lei Rebs.
In addition, the quality of rice is really good, stronger than most smart phones on the market, and it can be said to be second only to the iPhone at this stage, so it is not surprising that there will be such a scene. "
After listening to Luo Fan's words, Li Jingyi nodded and said nothing more.
The process of the press conference is very simple. Mr. Lei first thanked everyone who could come to the press conference and apologized to the fans who could not enter. Then, just like Jobs criticized the feature phone in 2007, Mr. Lei summarized the various aspects of the current smartphone. Disadvantages and places that make users very uncomfortable.
Then it is your turn to introduce the optimization of your mobile phone in terms of [battery], [screen], [CPU], [signal], [camera] and so on.
Luo Fan also listened carefully below. Although the conference was not as shocking as when Jobs first took out the iPhone in 2007, Mr. Lei's new rice phone still solved many problems.
Luo Fan is most interested in the power of the mobile phone, because the current battery technology is not as good as 10 years later, and most smart phones, including the iPhone, will basically run out of power after half a day, and users will have a kind of "power worry". "The mentality will make it difficult to sleep and eat.
The plan given by Rice is to optimize the system. For those apps that eat power, they will be cut off when they are turned off.
Rice is also equipped with a 1920mAh battery. At the same time, users can also buy an original battery for 199 extra. At this stage, most smartphones can replace the battery, and the universal charger has not yet withdrawn from the stage of history.
Speaking of the universal charger, Luo Fan remembered that in June last year, Cao Shuai also invested in a universal charger manufacturer.
After the battery problem was mentioned, Mr. Lei talked about other hardware problems of the Mi 1s.
In fact, mobile phone companies are basically aware of these problems, but for profit, these companies only make some functions as perfect as possible, and simply ignore the others.
Many mobile phones on the market are like this, for example, there are more than a dozen models of Coolpad, most of which have obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages.
The camera with strong battery life pulls the crotch, the chip with strong camera pulls the crotch, and the battery life with strong chip pulls again......
In short, if you want everything to be good, you must buy the most expensive high-end machine.
And Mr. Lei's rice highlights an extreme price/performance ratio. When major mobile phone manufacturers take the opportunity to make money, rice is focusing on creating cost-effectiveness, which is one of the main reasons for rice's success.
After 40 minutes of the press conference, there was a climax of carnival, and the price of rice 1s appeared on the screen - 1999.
The price of rice 1s in the previous life was 1499, but this time, due to some differences in technology, the cost of Mr. Lei has been compressed to the limit, and there is no way to achieve 1499.
However, users are very satisfied with this price, and the reason is very simple. This price, coupled with the introduction of various functions before, has completely exploded all mobile phones on the market except the iPhone.
Then Mr. Lei mentioned the supply chain of rice mobile phones. This mobile phone industry is extremely chaotic. In the final analysis, it is actually the chaos of hardware supply.
On the other hand, Mr. Lei can directly order the hardware of rice from major well-known hardware companies. Based on this alone, Mr. Lei's rice is already invincible.
After the introduction of the hardware, Mr. Lei said with a smile: "Everyone, with the development of the smartphone market, all kinds of apps are springing up, but how do we choose different apps?
This is a problem that our rice can't solve at the moment, so we work with the best companies in the industry.
At present, rice mobile phones are equipped with an application market, and this application market is provided by the technical support provided by the largest Android application store Xingyuan application platform. "
