Homecoming of Rebirth

It's like, if Qi Lei directly lectures on communication, he can only teach it to students majoring in communication, and they are willing to believe in Qi Lei.

And if Qi Lei wants to tell ordinary people who don't understand communication or pay attention to communication, he will directly talk about concepts and cases, let alone believe it, it is a problem whether he can listen to it or not.

Therefore, we must change the way and change the scene.

It's a different story if concepts and expertise are incorporated into the story.

Similarly, if these funny videos and videos of beautiful women are only broadcast in China, then their meaning is limited to being funny and beauties.

However, once you go abroad and add positive comments from foreign netizens, then these things will have additional communication attributes other than being funny and beautiful--national identity and cultural adaptability.

Yes, "identity" and "fitness".

In the past, in the Chinese people's minds, everyone believed that our culture was only suitable for Chinese people, and it radiated to the East Asian cultural circle at most.It is inapplicable and incompatible with the West and other nations.

This point can be fully reflected in the rumors that it is difficult for Chinese people to integrate into the local cultural circle after they go abroad.

Therefore, many people in China naturally believe that Han culture and Western culture are in a natural relationship of opposition, and comparisons naturally arise.

For ordinary people, their comparison will not go deep into the cultural core, as well as the depth and breadth of philosophical issues, and the level cannot be reached.

The intuitive expression of their comparison is to see who is stronger and richer than who in the country.

Then such a comparison, the West is of course much higher than ours.As a result, national inferiority complex also arises.

This kind of inducement cannot be said to be the absolute reason, but at least it is also one of the reasons for this phenomenon.

Therefore, what Qi Lei needs to do now is to pass back the direct reaction of ordinary foreign people to China's low-level culture, rather than the foreign impression carefully designed by the Western government.

Not to mention how much self-confidence can be given to Chinese people, at least let them know that our culture, our jokes and aesthetics are actually the same as theirs.

Our things can also be accepted and liked by the West, and even worshiped, instead of Qi Lei creating false prosperity to fool the Chinese people as many people imagined.

In fact, this is not Qi Lei's original creation. Years later, many domestic video website UP owners are doing the same, and netizens ridicule it as a cesspit for gold.

In fact, don't underestimate these "shithole gold digging" behaviors, whether intentional or unintentional, their contribution is actually great.

Nor is it the vanity of some domestic netizens who are satisfied on the surface, just like to watch foreigners praise China.

not that simple!

In fact, those who watch this kind of video are not watching the content itself, and vanity is just a basic primitive desire, which is understandable.

The real significance is to allow some people at the bottom who have no dialectical energy or even the ability to see the advantages and adaptability of their own culture.

And this method, in later generations, is only a small part of the awakening of our national self-confidence.

However, in Qi Lei's era, awakening those who don't listen is the only way he can think of for the time being.

When those Chinese who lack self-confidence see foreigners watching Chinese videos and laughing, praising Chinese people for their humor and creativity, they can have a little bit of confidence and know that we are not useless, not those cockroaches. Inferior nation in the mouth of spiders.

……

……

On the last day of 2002, it snowed in Seattle.

Qi Lei, Brother Xiao Ma, and Uncle Geng stood in front of the window of the Sanshi headquarters building, listening to the joyful greetings of happy new year from the employees downstairs, and felt an indescribable feeling.

They should be happy, because under this foreign sky, in this building, they have overcome one difficulty after another and created one miracle after another.

However, at this special time, several people couldn't be happy at all.

homesick!

Uncle Geng misses the dumplings made by his wife, and brother Ma misses his office building in Shenzhen, which is not considered grand.

As for Qi Lei, he misses Xu Xiaoqian, his parents, Lao Qin, and Lao Dong.

"Tomorrow, Uncle Geng and I will fly back." Qi Lei looked at Brother Xiao Ma, "Just keep an eye on it for a while!"

Brother Xiao Ma was silent for a while, then nodded, "Go back, I'm enough here!"

Penguin has been completely on the right track, and Sanshi North America actually has one main business-smartphones.

However, this thing is not like a website, where some content can make waves and cause quite a stir.

There is still a long way to go for the smart phone project, and it is far from the time to make a brilliant debut.

It can't even be regarded as the official start of the research and development process, and the foundation has not been laid.

There is no need for Qi Lei to watch these things every day, just leave them to those professional managers.

On the contrary, in China, there are still a lot of things waiting!

The smart phone project is actually developing mobile phones in North America, and we can use what we don’t have.However, Byron in China is the most important part of Qi Lei's entire business map.

There are many things over there that really start from scratch and need more attention from him.

However, speaking of using it immediately, Qi Lei remembered something, so he turned around and called Paulson.

"I told you some time ago, about the Electronics Industry Association, have you done it yet?"

Paulson was stunned and thought for a long time, "Oh, what about that?" He was very disgusted, "Why do you have to join that association? It's useless, and it costs a lot of money. I think the current It's in good shape!"

Qi Lei frowned, and said, "Did you not operate it at all, or did they not let us in at all?"

"Uh..." Paulson was embarrassed, "Okay!"

With a long sigh, "To tell the truth, Palace B means that it is best not to join this association. However, you can rest assured that the technology we need to use and the supply chain we need to cooperate with will not be hindered by Palace B. This is Enough is enough, isn't it?"

Seeing that Qi Lei was silent and there was still a terrible silence on the other end of the phone, Paulson felt a little uneasy.

After a while, he added: "Qi, it's really not that I don't help, North America Sanshi is not suitable to join that association, you should understand what I mean."

Qi Lei, "..."

Finally nodded, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Brother Ma asked, "What association? I haven't heard you mention it?"

Qi Lei shook his head with a wry smile, "If there is a date or not, it will be a shot. In fact, this result has been expected for a long time."

The association that Qi Lei wanted to join belonged to a North American electronics industry synergy association.

In fact, it is useless, but to Qi Lei, it is of great significance.

Mainly, there is a mechanism for the use and sharing of technology patents within the association, which is very important to Chinese companies.

If he can join this association, then Qi Lei can even bypass some international embargo and sales restrictions, and get a lot of market quotas for advanced technologies and equipment.

To put it bluntly, he will not be treated differently technically because he is Chinese.

The benefits are great!

However, Qi Lei didn't have any hope at all.

Even if Sanshi North America has a major shareholder of Wall Street, Qi Lei's identity as a Chinese shareholder must also be considered.

So, being rejected is normal.

He laughed and said, "I originally wanted North American Sanshi to avoid detours and use a lot of technology. It's a pity, no!"

When everyone heard this, they were not filled with righteous indignation, but laughed at Qi Lei's naivety.

Brother Ma, "If you think about it with your heels, you know it's impossible. You still let Paulson do it?"

"Palace B means seeing penguins is useful to him now, otherwise that promise wouldn't be given to you!"

Brother Xiao Ma is a little floating, his penguin is really important!A long way to go Wow!

And Wu Ning...

Wu Ning frowned, "Is this just obstruction by Palace B?"

Wu Ning thinks, it's not that simple, right?

"A membership application for an association won't disturb Palace B, right?"

Qi Lei smiled even more, "Do you still need to think about it? It must be Bill and Intel who are playing tricks."

Those companies are all major members of that association.

When Wu Ning heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Lei, "These grandchildren have caused us a lot of trouble, so forget it?"

Qi Lei didn't speak, but looked at the heavy snow outside the window.

After a while, "Can't we just let it go!"

Wu Ning, "Fuck him!"

Qi Lei, "Fuck him!!"

……

The next day, before Qi Lei got on the plane, North American Sanshi suddenly released a concept map, a concept map of a smartphone.

The mobile phone in the picture is just like the specifications described by Qi Lei at Stanford last year:

It is 158mm long, 73mm wide and only 8.8mm thick.

Square and upright, with a great sense of simplicity.

Sanshi even gave this design style a super fashionable name - light luxury.

Big screen, colorful! !

Especially the 26-key physical keyboard, the design is also pretty good.

Yes, with physical buttons.

Anyway, as soon as this concept map is released, Nokia, Motorola, and BlackBerry, in this era, will absolutely kill everything in seconds, ahead of the concept.

Once released, it triggered heated discussions across the Internet.

Netizens are going crazy.

"Oh!! My God! So cool!"

"When will it be available? I need a phone like this!"

"This is the most perfect mobile phone, bar none!"

"@Microsoft, @apple, @nokia, @blackberry, see? This is called a mobile phone! Hurry up and learn it!?"

Paulson didn't know about the concept map of Three Stones at all. He didn't realize it until he got to his office in New York, turned on his computer, and saw the overwhelming reports and comments.

Seeing the extremely cool concept drawing, especially the large physical keyboard below, Paulson's eyeballs almost popped out.

"What did this bastard do!?"

A phone call passed, "Qi, you bastard! Didn't you say that there is no physical keyboard!? Why did we change our design!!?"

"Why!!? Why did you change that perfect plan into something so stupid!?"

Well, netizens think the conceptual design of the ceiling is a piece of shit in Paulson's eyes.

Because he has seen Sanshi's design of the smartphone, which is the real work of art.

There are no physical buttons, and the lines are prettier than that.Let Paulson fall in love with it after seeing it once, and even extreme ones must be created.

Yes, despite the difficulties, it must be made.

In Paulson's eyes, apart from that one design, the rest is not a mobile phone.

What is this?Shit!

"Qi, I warn you, don't tamper with my smartphone!"

Paulson was about to go crazy, but Qi Lei on the opposite side was extremely calm and was about to go to the airport.

"I haven't changed it!"

Paulson's eyeballs were bloodshot, "No change!? Then what is this?"

Qi Lei, "The concept drawing, I didn't say it was the final design!"

Paulson, "..."

No... no?Then what are you sending it out for?

Qi Lei, "As the father of smartphones, I just want to show our dear colleagues what a smartphone is, so that they will no longer be confused and have a clear design direction!"

I poof! !

Paulson spat out a mouthful of old blood, and his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

"you!!"
