Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Google has been developing the Android system. After the debut of the iPhone, the sense of crisis is even heavier.

Smartphones are an emerging market, and one year earlier has the advantage of being one year earlier. Google has no time to conduct independent research, so it simply has more people and more power, so it directly open source.

Just a few days before Double Eleven, also in November, Google announced the establishment of a global alliance organization. At present, more than 100 mobile phone manufacturers, software developers, and telecom operators have joined to jointly develop and improve Android. system.

Google will give them a free open source license to release the source code of Android.

After Yao Yuan heard the news, he was not in a hurry. He was not interested in Android, but Meizu's own operating system based on Android research.

This requires a technical leader, Lin Bin is the most suitable, he is originally from Google - Yao Yuan wants to recruit him, and then go to his old club.

Lin Bin thinks this idea is awesome.

"At the beginning of the year, I was fortunate to attend the Meizu press conference. I was quite shocked. Since then, I have been following Meizu's news, but unfortunately, there is no more news. If it is convenient, can I ask about the development progress of Meizu mobile phones?"

"It's a long story..."

Yao Yuan took a sip of the free hot water, which didn't even contain tea, and sighed: "It's too expensive to make a mobile phone, and I can't use the group's resources there, so I can only sell the shares for some money.

In the summer, I went to the United States and visited some manufacturers. I wanted to exchange some technology. I thought it would be okay to spend money, as long as I could learn something, but they didn't respond at all.

I said before that the so-called domestic machines are currently doing assembly work, and now I feel ashamed because we are also doing this work.

But I thought again, there is no need to aim too high, the chip can't be done, the screen can't be done, the memory can't be done, it doesn't matter, it's okay to solve other things first.

So I asked Bai Yongxiang to contact domestic manufacturers, and the communication was almost done. Simply put, it was a cooperation project. We paid for them to develop products that meet our needs.

As for the operating system, we have been struggling with Win CE, but I think Microsoft's strategy for mobile phones is too conservative. They have always used computer systems to set up mobile phone systems. I don't think Win CE will become a popular thing.

It happened that Google was making this Android, so we wanted to give it a try. "

"..."

Yin Yin rolled her eyes, this nonsense, only the punctuation marks are true.

Yao Yuan is clear about the development route of mobile phones, and will not waste resources on useless work, but he still has to convey an impression of "I work hard" to the outside world, which naturally depends on fooling around.

So far, what Meizu can really show is the appearance PPT and the cooperation negotiations between Bai Yongxiang and domestic manufacturers. The rest are half-truths and half-fakes, which seem to be false and not false. They can be called "Schrödinger's mobile phone"!

To say that the invention of PPT is really great. It can be used to make mobile phones, cars, and chips.

"It's really not easy to make a mobile phone!"

Lin Bin was very moved when he heard this, as if he saw a sincere and ideal-seeking figure in a few words. In the first half of the year, Yao Yuan sold shares, causing an uproar. At that time, some people said that it was for making mobile phones, but there was no movement for the first half of the year, and it was said that Yao Yuan got into the eyes of money.

Who knew it was so hard behind the scenes?

Lin Bin thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Yao thinks that Win CE is not good, so what do you think an excellent mobile phone system looks like?"

"I don't understand technology, so I can't describe it in professional language, but as a mobile phone user, what I want is already in my mind..."

Yao Yuan picked up his handbag, opened the zipper, and took out a mobile phone. It turned out to be an iPhone not listed in the mainland.

"What I'm going to say next is the smartphone I wish I could use. You're an expert, so don't laugh at your whims."

After he finished speaking, he turned on the screen, which displayed "Swipe right to unlock".

"I hope that the first step is to unlock the password, which can be in the form of numbers, Jiugongge lines, or even fingerprints.

After unlocking, enter the page, slide your finger to look through, the software can be arranged freely, placed casually, long press will display a delete function, such as a trash can icon, drag the software to it and it will be automatically deleted..."

Lin Bin's eyes lit up after listening to the first paragraph, and he put down his chopsticks unknowingly.

The candied sweet potatoes were already on the table, and they were really silky. I was given a bowl of water, but only Yinyin was eating.

"If you swipe down, that's it..."

Yao Yuan swipe down from the top of the screen with his finger, and said: "I hope there will be a page similar to the shortcut bar, where you can put small functions such as Bluetooth, mute, flashlight, brightness adjustment, etc. When you swipe from bottom to top, you will is a multitasking window.

In order to avoid accidental touches, such as the mobile phone is in a pocket or bag, and the screen is accidentally touched to run, I hope there will be an anti-mistouch function. "

"..."

Lin Bin felt that it was extremely novel. Although the developer would also research the market and understand user needs, it was the first time that such a detailed and clear description was made, as if such a smartphone really existed.

Yao Yuan is not afraid that the other party will leak the secrets. These functions cannot be implemented now, and the technology and hardware are not up to par. It can only be regarded as an idea - just look at the first-generation iPhone. It doesn't even have the function of copying and pasting text.

He has used Xiaomi's MIUI, Oppo's Color, vivo's origin, Honor's magic, and Meizu flyme is his favorite.

Hongmeng has never used it.

What I just talked about is the operating characteristics of flyme. In fact, this thing does not matter. It can be continuously improved in the future. The purpose now is to bluff people.

"Maybe I'm asking too much, but this is our insistence. If Win CE doesn't work, switch to Android. If Android doesn't work, switch to something else. Making a mobile phone is a perfectionist thing!"

Yao Yuan paused for a moment, then took out another Nokia N95, more than 7,000 yuan, a top-of-the-line functional phone with an attractive appearance.

He put the two mobile phones aside and said: "I use this for myself, it's really good to be honest, the Symbian system is far more mature than Apple's, but that's the end of it.

Nokia does not think about making progress, and will eventually look at the sunset with the glory of the past, and the era of smart phones will be in the future! "

"..."

Lin Bin's heart finally started beating.

He has been interested in Meizu since the press conference, and he is doing related work. He also feels that the future is the era of mobile phones and mobile networks. It may not be a good choice to invest in a potential stock in advance.

Yao Yuan continued to increase, saying: "I think there are two pillars in the mobile era, which complement each other, one is the mobile phone as the carrier, and the other is the software as the content.

In essence, it is to move the content on the computer to the mobile phone.

We now have communities, instant messaging, games, e-commerce, and entertainment, all of which are leaders in the industry. If we move them to mobile phones, we will form a wonderful closed-loop ecology. That is when the 99 Group is truly brilliant! "

After finishing speaking, Yao Yuan said again: "I once again sincerely invite you to join our team!"

"..."

Lin Bin had already agreed in his heart, but he was still a bit tangled on the face, and said: "I still have some projects in hand, so I don't want to give up halfway."

"It's okay, I'm welcome anytime."

"This...well, Mr. Yao has personally invited you over and over again, and if I refuse again, I will be a bit ignorant."

Lin Bin's attitude changed smoothly, which is considered to be an agreement, and he began to think about the new owner, saying: "I have a colleague named Hong Feng, a senior product manager, with first-class ability. I will try to persuade him to join me."

"That's even better, looking forward to your good news!"

The two shook hands again.

Only then did Yao Yuan taste the candied sweet potato, it was good, it was still hot inside even though it was cold outside.

(no more...)
