Compared with the identity of the founder of ByteDance, many people may have heard the name Zhang Yiming for the first time because of the "Martian" joke.
There is a reason why "Martian" has become a meme, but this cannot deny the success of ByteDance, especially the overseas version of TikTok, which is the only domestic software manufacturer to succeed overseas.
Wei Qingfan had a clear understanding of this, but his previous impression of Zhang Yiming was not good.
Surrender will not bring forgiveness, but only a butcher's knife.
Therefore, if you are not dignified, someone will help you to look decent. This is how the "Catalogue of Export Prohibited and Restricted Technologies" was born, which legally prevents this situation from happening again.
Douyin’s algorithm was born in China and grew up in China. The algorithm is not written out of thin air. It is fed by the huge domestic user experience data. It is not something you can just sell and give as you say.
He tried his best to keep a peaceful mind. After meeting him, he found that the other party's impression of him was actually quite good.
This person doesn't talk much and gives the impression that he is a bit arrogant, but when he speaks, he gives people a clear and calm feeling.
When we met for the first time, we naturally didn't have any in-depth conversations. We just expressed to each other that we had heard each other for a long time, clinked glasses of wine, and we got to know each other.
Wei Qingfan had some barbecue and some dumplings, and then received a call from Li Wanyi. Seeing that they were not over yet, he left first and went home to be with his wife.
When they arrived at home, Li Wanyi had already finished taking a shower and was on the phone with Li Wanyun. When she saw Wei Qingfan coming back, she glanced at him and then continued chatting with her sister.
Wei Qingfan pointed to the bathroom, went to take a shower and came out. Li Wanyi was no longer in the living room. Wei Qingfan came to the study room and saw his senior sister busy at the computer desk.
"It's already off work, why are you still reading?"
Wei Qingfan saw that the Taobao store interface was still on her computer screen, leaned over and kissed her cheek, and said with a smile: "Take a rest, combine work and rest."
Li Wanyi turned her head and asked with a suspicious expression: "How can I rest?"
"sleep."
"Go to hell!"
"Then help me pack my things. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow."
"ah?"
Li Wanyi stopped being busy and turned to look at him, "Where to go? How long?"
"There are several places. It will take a week at the earliest. After-sales stores in several places are ready to open. I have to go and check it out."
"All right."
Li Wanyi was obviously a little reluctant, but she also knew that this was all business, so she stood up without stopping.
Wei Qingfan hugged her and kissed her, then went to pack her things together and asked, "How is my sister doing with her driving practice?"
"very good."
"ah?"
Wei Qingfan was a little surprised, "Is it true or not?"
"Really, she has decided to buy a car."
"real?"
"real!"
Li Wanyi nodded seriously, then finally couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth, and said: "But she didn't open it herself, she bought it first and kept it, so as not to be unable to get the cards later."
"whispering sound."
Wei Qingfan rolled his eyes, "Do you mean you're afraid?"
Li Wanyi held back her laughter and nodded, saying, "I just realized that your sister is so timid. When a car came from the other side, she was almost scared to death."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Didn't you feel the same way at the time?"
"Nonsense, how can I have it?"
"Do you know it yourself? Of course, I know it too."
"No! When I say no, I mean no..."
The two bickered for a while, then packed up their things. Wei Qingfan called Li Miaoyu again and told him about his business trip.
"Then senior sister, are you sad?"
Li Miaoyu's tone was a bit gloating.
"Why should I be sad?"
Li Wanyi heard this and said a little embarrassedly, "Are you disappointed?"
Li Miaoyu hummed, "I'm not disappointed. Anyway, I'm happy at home. My mother cooks delicious food for me in different ways every day."
"Didn't I prepare you something delicious while you were here?"
"Yes, but it's different~"
Li Miaoyu trailed off coquettishly and said with a smile, "Senior sister, your cooking is also delicious. It's as delicious as my mother's cooking."
"When you come back, you can cook for yourself. I won't cook for you anymore. You'll just be like a nanny all day long."
"Ah~ no need~ I like the food you cook..."
Li Miaoyu continued to act coquettishly, "Senior sister, you are the best..."
"I'm not good, tell him."
"No, I will ignore him and tell my senior sister..."
"hehe."
"Haha what's wrong?"
Li Wanyi said angrily: "It's okay!"
Hehe seemed to have heard his name and came to the bedroom wagging his tail. Li Wanyi lowered her head to look at it, then turned to glare at Wei Qingfan: "Didn't you say that Lingxi Voice will support video chat? When..."
"Yes, yes!"
Li Miaoyu also echoed, saying: "If I can directly open the video on my mobile phone, I can see Hehe and Yaya... Hey, senior sister, I will send you a photo of Meow Meow later. Meow Meow is so beautiful.
.”
"OK."
The two started chatting, and Wei Qingfan rolled his eyes, flopped down on the bed, and consciously did not disturb them.
The next morning, he set off for Chongqing, where he saw the after-sales store that was about to open.
The company's funds are not very abundant, because funds are constantly flowing. After the funds are withdrawn, materials must be purchased and put into production. In addition, as the number of employees increases, daily operating expenses are also increasing.
However, Wei Qingfan still tried his best to provide more funds to make the first and second batch of the first after-sales stores in provincial capitals and municipalities better.
The first batch of after-sales stores have something very similar in common. They are all located in non-popular areas in bustling urban areas, so they will not look too shabby and the rent will not be too expensive;
The area of the after-sales shop is not small, and all are guaranteed to have at least one row of seats and a display table, with the company's products placed on the display table;
There are samples for display, and after-sales sales will naturally occur at the same time. Although it is not the main source of performance, you can still enjoy commissions;
There is a water dispenser, which is guaranteed to provide a glass of water to every arriving customer;
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, in addition to the logo with the word "ci", the store's sign also has the logo with the word "poetry", even though this brand has not officially debuted yet.
Among them, five or six after-sales stores have been opened one after another. Wei Qingfan inspected his "country" one by one and came to the provincial capital in early August.
The after-sales store here has opened. When Wei Qingfan came to the store, he found that there were quite a few people in the store. There were five or six people, two of whom were here to repair mobile phones, and the other three or four were here to look at the mobile phones.
Wei Qingfan's arrival caused a certain shock, especially since two of them knew him. Wei Qingfan naturally did not put on any airs, chatted with them, asked questions and experiences, and expressed that he welcomed everyone's supervision and feedback.
.
His "travel" is more of an attitude. The main people he meets are local partners, but it is naturally different when he arrives in the provincial capital.
After the business bureau at noon, Wei Qingfan did not go back to the hotel. He bought some gifts and then visited Li Miaoyu's house.
Li Shuqing was not here, and Zhao Yaquan was a little surprised by his arrival. Li Miaoyu knew that he was coming, but obviously blocked the news and wanted to give him a "surprise".
"You guys are doing great now. It seems that the shipment volume is over two million, right?"
Wei Qingfan helped prepare dinner and chatted with his future mother-in-law. Zhao Yaquan's tone was very emotional.
"Sales have been pretty good recently. I received news today that shipments have officially exceeded 3 million."
Wei Qingfan was not deliberately modest, nor did he show off with a smile, he was just chatting with an elder.
"That's six billion?"
Li Miaoyu automatically converted it into money, "Wow, it will be 10 billion soon..."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "This is sales, not profit."
"That's also six billion!"
Li Miaoyu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, feeling a little proud, "Even if the profit margin is only 5%, that's still 300 million, and your profit must be more than that."
Seeing that Zhao Yaquan was also curious, Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "If you only deduct the material and operating costs, it is about 8%, but if you include the current expansion and the money invested in research and development, it is less than 4%
.”
Zhao Yaquan wondered: "Didn't your mobile phone just come out? Are you going to develop a new mobile phone again?"
Wei Qingfan said: "Well, if the research and development cycle is longer, there will be time to polish it."
Li Miaoyu followed: "He is very ambitious. He wants to kill Nokia first, and then Samsung..."
"It's good to have ambition."
Zhao Yaquan encouraged, "You are still young. You have reached this point in just a few years. The world in the future is very broad and you have a lot to do. Be careful not to be arrogant or impetuous."
Wei Qingfan naturally said yes repeatedly.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yaquan asked tactfully: "You will be seniors at the beginning of school. You will graduate next year and you are not going to take the postgraduate entrance examination... What do you think about Miaomiao?"
The topic she brought up was a bit abrupt. Firstly, Li Miaoyu was young, and secondly, she had to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and it would be four years before she graduated from graduate school.
Li Miaoyu obviously didn't expect it. She opened her eyes slightly and asked, "Mom, what do you mean? I still want to continue my graduate studies. You want me to marry him now?"
Wei Qingfan was a little caught off guard, but he didn't panic. He had already thought about it and said with a smile: "Studying for graduate school will not affect..."
Zhao Yaquan was obviously also suspicious, or she knew that he and Li Miaoyu were sleeping together, and she was trying to explain for her daughter.
Wei Qingfan said, paused, and smiled at Zhao Yaquan: "How about I get engaged to Miaomiao first and wait until she graduates to get married?"
