Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"Little circle?"

The two were puzzled, but Yao Yuan started to draw a small circle where the home button was.

"How about I add some functionality to this little circle?

In the past two years, clamshell female mobile phones have been popular, and manufacturers will add lights to the mobile phones. Last year's BBK i508 made the light array into a series of circular bubbles, which is a very creative design.

But on our mobile phones, it would be too simple to use lights as decoration. Can we integrate lights with mobile phone functions?

For example, this small circle is also a breathing light, whenever there is a missed call or unread message, it will flash like a light in the deep sea..."

Hiss!

Bai Yongxiang and Lin Bin were excited, and instantly imagined that kind of scene, what does it feel like?

Elegant!

Beautiful!

Unique!

Android phones have the traditional "three diamond buttons": home button, return, recent tasks.

This is a feature of Android phones, but it also caused the same design for a long time. In 2012, Meizu X2 designed this small circle and breathing light, which many people never forget.

It is also a classic of Meizu phones.

The reason is very simple. Among the stupid and thick diamond keys, the small circle and the breathing light are particularly stylish!

Bai Yongxiang and Lin Bin are very excited, but they can only think about it. To realize it, we have to wait until the 3rd generation phone... The breathing light is not difficult, and it requires technology to integrate the breathing light with the functions of the mobile phone.

Yao Yuan pretended to be aggressive.

It's cool to poke secretly.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yongxiang took out another prototype and said, "This is a smartphone jointly developed by China Telecom, Huawei, and Maiwo. Take a look first."

"How's the performance?"

"Anyway, let's see!"

Looking at his attitude, Yao Yuan knew that it was not a good thing. He held it in his hand and played with it. The appearance was ordinary, and it obviously carried the color of the transition from a functional phone to a smart phone, like an ape-man who has not evolved.

Eighteen apps of the 99 series are built in it, and when it runs, it can only be said, um, it works.

The processor is Qualcomm MSM7625, the operating system is Android 2.1, and the display is only 2.8 inches.

"How much do they charge?"

"899! But this is a custom-made phone, so it must be a phone charge, and the phone is free."

Bai Yongxiang is very clear about the market, and sighed: "Don't look at its poor performance, but it is cheap. In recent years, it has been said that Chinese people have a better life and material wealth. In fact, low-income groups always occupy the majority, and cheapness is the truth.

Coupled with the promotion of telecommunications, I estimate that a million units will be no problem! "

"I also think it's no problem. Many people are willing to charge a few hundred yuan to a mobile phone."

Lin Bin sighed: "This kind of machine has over a million units, and our painstaking work has also over a million units. At most, it is only three times. The sense of frustration is strong."

"Hey, don't think so! It's like buying a car. No matter how good BMW's performance is, it can't stop the masses from buying Wuling Hongguang. The user groups are different."

Yao Yuan returned the phone to Bai Yongxiang, and said: "I will be busy in the second half of the year, and the key point is this APP. We must seize channels as much as possible, regardless of whether it is Apple or Android, whether it is high-end or low-end. Make those games popular at home and abroad.

After the listing, I will invest a large amount of money in Meizu, and we will soon make a sub-brand, or continue to lower the price, or hit the high-end market.

And you have to remember that the trinity of mobile phones, channels, and APPs all need to seize market share, and they will be beaten badly in the future. "

He encouraged the two and said with a smile: "How many colleagues in the Internet industry and mobile phone industry are envious and jealous, the first model sold 3 million units, this is your credit.

By the way, I am going to build the headquarters in the capital, and I have reserved a building for you. You can discuss and discuss which business to transfer to spread the branches. In the future, you will also build a headquarters, Meizu Technology Park! I envy them to death! "

ha!

Both of them were overjoyed, even if the words were not funny, they were relieved physically and mentally by Yao Yuan's gesture.

Among the many social activities, chatting is the most basic and the most difficult to enjoy. It's not like drinking. Drinking is emotional, and it's possible to ask for help on the spot.

If you can get addicted to chatting purely, then you should cherish it. At this moment, they were a little bit over the top, and Lin Bin even ran back to his office and touched a box of cigars.

"Ramon allones commemorative edition, taste taste!"

Everyone gave out one, and Cheng Wei also had one. He touched this for the first time, and was at a loss when he saw the thick, long and powerful cigar, for fear of embarrassment.

"Come and let me teach you!"

Yao Yuan saw his embarrassment, and said, "There are three steps to smoking a cigar. The first step is to tear the package, the second step is to light it, and the third step is to smoke it."

"ah?"

"Ah, what? Don't pretend to be that aristocratic, holding a wine glass is very important, and the most important thing is to be happy."

Yao Yuan doesn't usually smoke, but today everyone is interested, so they only smoke a couple of puffs.

Cheng Wei also ordered one, but he couldn't tell what the flavor was. It was a bit strange, and he couldn't help asking, "How much does it cost per box?"

"$100 each!"

Lin Bin didn't care.

"Hey!"

Cheng Wei was startled, it was more expensive than domestic special cigarettes.

Of course, there is a price for the special cigarettes but there is no market. Sometimes Yao Yuan needs a favor, so he goes to Zhou Yunfan to get two, and borrows flowers to offer Buddha.

At this moment, he listened to Lin Bin's quotation without expression.

In a large group, people like Xiao Ma and Lao Ma are the most famous and wealthiest, and in fact those executives are not too far behind. Lin Bin smokes a cigar worth 100 dollars, that is his freedom.

Just don't make it too pompous.

If you really want a cigar worth more than 100,000 dollars, then Yao Yuan has to add up.

For a while, the room was full of clouds, and Bai Yongxiang said: "When I am free, I always think, the mobile phone industry is huge, but do we have to make mobile phones for the rest of our lives?

I don’t have a clue, Dong Mingzhu’s visit today suddenly gave me inspiration, can Meizu make home appliances? Such as TV, humidifier, washing machine, computer? "

"If we develop and produce it ourselves, the cost will be sky-high." Lin Bin shook his head.

"No, we are building one, one..."

"Ecological chain!"

Yao Yuan took the conversation and said with a smile: "I mentioned a few words to Lao Bai before, saying that Meizu's future goal is an ecological chain, and in the group, it is an ecological circle.

We have social networking, e-commerce, games, and entertainment, which can provide enough content for hardware products. Users can find everything they need in this ecosystem.

We don't need to develop all our own, just invest in it.

Meizu is not a mere manufacturer, and must use capital to expand in the future, Milner, you have already seen it..."

He explained his vision to the two core figures. From the beginning of making mobile phones, he was running in the direction of Xiaomi, but he was more ruthless than Xiaomi.

Community, micro-chat, games, shopping mall, payment, 99 entertainment, plus the Meizu ecological chain, will form an extremely large ecological circle, or a business empire.

This is the goal he set at the earliest since he started his business, and he is moving forward step by step.
