Seeing Lin Fan coming over, Chen Hong and the middle-aged man next to him stood up together, and the former introduced with a smile.
"Brother Lin, come, let me introduce you. This is Dr. Zhou Guangping. He graduated from Georgia Tech University with a major in electromagnetics and wireless technology. He currently serves as the chief engineer and senior director of Motorola's Beijing R&D Center."
After hearing Chen Hong's introduction, Lin Fan remembered who this person was. No wonder he didn't look familiar. He turned out to be one of the co-founders of Xiaomi.
"Hello, Dr. Zhou!"
Lin Fan walked towards Zhou Guangping with a smile on his face and shook hands with him.
Zhou Guangping was looking at Lin Fan's face, as if there were flowers on the latter's face.
Chen Hong and Zhou Guangping were not particularly close, they just had an ordinary friendship.
A few years ago, Zhou Guangping served as a core expert in the core design group of the Motorola mobile phone headquarters in the United States. He participated in several activities organized by the Huayuan Technology Association, so he met several times.
After separating from Lin Fan yesterday, he looked up his address book on the road, found this industry person, and had a brief chat with him.
After chatting, Zhou Guangping was very interested in Lin Fan's mobile phone plan, so today's meeting took place.
"Let's go upstairs and chat!"
Lin Fan greeted the two of them and prepared to go upstairs. On the way, he asked, "Have you had breakfast? How about having breakfast together?"
Both of them waved their hands.
Lin Fan took the two of them to the temporary office in the suite, asked the waiter to pour them a cup of coffee, and sat on the boss's chair to eat breakfast.
After simply eating breakfast and asking the waiter to clean up, Lin Fan chatted with the two about business.
Perhaps because he had worked in a foreign company for a long time, Zhou Guangping also spoke very directly. When he came up, he asked: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Chen had a brief chat with me yesterday.
To be honest, I am very disappointed with the current inaction of domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
As soon as I heard Mr. Chen say that you have the idea of developing into the high-end mobile phone field, I immediately became interested.
However, before I join your company, I have a few questions that I need to ask."
Lin Fan was more comfortable with this straightforward style, shrugged and said, "Of course, just ask."
"Besides money, do you have any other advantages in making mobile phones?"
Hearing this sentence, Chen Hong scratched his forehead. He knew that this brother was used to the American style or something, and his words were very unpleasant.
The truth is the same, but it is obviously better to be more tactful!
Now that I have returned to China, I am also facing Chinese bosses. When it is time to switch modes, I have to switch modes!
Although he was already complaining in his heart, Chen Hong still had a smile on his face and did not express his opinion for the time being.
Lin Fan smiled. In his previous life, he had heard rumors that Zhou Guangping was proud of his talent.
I heard that all the supply chain manufacturers in the United States and South Korea were offended. They refused to supply goods and even asked Lei Jun to fly abroad to apologize.
Lei Jun scolded him: Why can't Xiaomi's supply chain be like OPPO and Vivo?
He choked back: Then go and invite them!
Lin Fan was a little unsure whether he should have this kind of prick, so he wanted to talk for a few words first.
"I wonder if my many years of marketing planning experience are an advantage?"
As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, Zhou Guangping burst out laughing, "Mr. Lin, with all due respect, Facebook is an Internet company, and mobile phone hardware are completely different industries, right?"
"You don't understand this. During the development of Facebook, it organized and planned no less than ten online marketing campaigns, all of which were done by me."
Lin Fan knew not to give this kind of person too much good looks. He was so arrogant that you had to be more arrogant than him to suppress him.
After a pause, Lin Fan continued: "Also, some successful experiences from the Internet can also be applied to the hardware field.
Have you heard about Tesla’s online marketing incident a few days ago?”
Zhou Guangping thought for a while, nodded and said: "I heard that the Tianya Forum was in a quarrel at that time. I guessed whether Porsche and Ferrari would accept the challenge."
Speaking of this, Zhou Guangping suddenly laughed, "Who knew, a Lifan would come in the end."
Zhou Guangping's smile was a bit teasing. Lin Fan could tell at a glance. Was he making fun of himself?
"You thought this was the end?"
Lin Fan smiled disdainfully, "I'm telling you, far from it! You'll have to wait and see at the New Nordschleife Circuit early next year!"
Seeing Lin Fan's confident face, Zhou Guangping swallowed the doubtful words on his lips.
"Okay, then this counts as one, Mr. Lin, do you have any other advantages?"
Zhou Guangping spread his hands and said, "For example, in terms of technology research and development, mobile phone design concepts, etc."
Lin Fan laughed, "If I know all these things, why would I hire anyone?
Let’s talk about you first, for example, what did you do at Motorola, and what can you bring or create for me after joining my mobile phone company?”
Zhou Guangping didn't know whether it was due to a lack of brains or something else, but he wasn't surprised at all by Lin Fan's rude questions and thought it was normal.
Then, he began to proudly talk about his contribution to Motorola.
"...I designed the telescopic antenna and fixed antenna for Motorola's dual-band and tri-band mobile phones. One of the three-band antennas was patented by the U.S. National Patent Office. More than 20 million Motorola mobile phones of various models use this antenna design."
"In addition, I also participated in and led the team to develop mobile phones such as CD928, V998, L2000, V8088, V60, V66, V70, etc..."
Lin Fan listened quietly on the sidelines. It was undeniable that this guy was quite talented, otherwise Lei Jun would not have selected him as a partner back then, and he would have endured his bad temper until the eve of the listing.
"This is the RAZRV3 mobile phone that I participated in the development of!"
As he spoke, Zhou Guangping stood up and handed Lin Fan an ultra-thin flip phone with reflective black metallic paint.
Afraid that Lin Fan wouldn't understand, Zhou Guangping started to introduce it endlessly: "At present, the 15mm body is called the "devil's wall" by the industry, which means the insurmountable ultra-thinness.
However, RAZRV3 easily broke through the 15mm thickness, reaching an astonishing 13.9mm.
The design language is also very advanced, so V3 also got the nickname "razor".
Mr. Lin, look at it, does it look like a razor?"
Lin Fan took the V3 phone and looked at it carefully.
Seeing that Lin Fan finally stopped talking, Zhou Guangping thought that he had calmed him down and said with a smile: "The fuselage is made of aviation-grade aluminum alloy. This material is widely used in the industrial industry for its rich metallic luster and strong anti-rust properties.
famous.
You can also take a look at the keyboard. V3 uses a laser-withered metal sharp-flat keyboard. This reflective silver keyboard can give people a cold feeling.
The price is certainly not cheap at 8,800 yuan!
Even if the price is so high, it cannot stop the market from enthusiastically pursuing it."
With a "bang", Lin Fan suddenly threw the phone on the table with a loud bang, and said with disdain: "This kind of garbage can only last a year or two! Sooner or later it will be swept away into the garbage of history.
In the pile!"
Zhou Guangping, who was buzzing like a little bee just now, shut up instantly, and even Chen Hong stood aside.
The whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!
Zhou Guangping finally reacted and his face turned red.
He picked up the V3 mobile phone that Lin Fan had discarded on the desk like a broken shoe, glanced at Lin Fan, and said coldly: "You don't understand mobile phones at all!"
After saying that, Zhou Guangping turned around and prepared to leave.
Chen Hong quickly stood up and acted as peacemaker, putting his arm around Zhou Guangping's shoulders and said, "Hey, Zhou, please sit down for a while!"
Chen Hong's performance gave Zhou Guangping an opportunity to use the topic to his advantage.
He said angrily: "Those of us with limited talent and limited knowledge will not join in the fun, lest we ruin Mr. Lin's great cause."
Lin Fan laughed when he heard this, "It's not necessarily that he is lacking in talent and knowledge, it's just that the design concept is a bit old-fashioned.
Go to my mobile phone company and learn from it, maybe there will be some help."
Lin Fan's words were like adding fuel to the fire, which made Zhou Guangping angry to death.
He dared to say that in his whole life, he had never seen such an arrogant person.
Chen Hong put his arm around Zhou Guangping's shoulders and gave Lin Fan a look, hinting him not to cause any more trouble.
To be honest, Chen Hong didn't know what happened today. How could Lin Fan, who was usually such a gentle and gentle person, become so powerful?
Maybe he is like this at work, but he just doesn't see it.
Chen Hong smiled and said good things, "Hey, Lao Zhou, sit down and listen to what Brother Lin has to say first!"
"There's nothing to say. Now the world's second-ranked Motorola mobile phone can't catch Mr. Lin's eyes. I don't know what kind of mobile phone you want to build? Alien technology?"
Zhou Guangping wanted to leave very much, but Chen Hong was hugging his shoulders and it was difficult to break free.
"Hey, you really hit the mark. We really want to develop alien technology that will shock everyone on earth!"
Lin Fan pointed at Zhou Guangping with an expression as if he had guessed it.
Chen Hong secretly complained in his heart, Brother Lin, are you still awake from the wine you drank yesterday? Alien technology and people from the earth are here.
"Cheating Kangxi"
The expression on Zhou Guangping's face was very exciting. He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Lin Fan's brain?
Thinking of this, he suddenly didn't want to leave.
He wanted to take a look at the alien technology that Lin Fan talked about. After reading it, he would give a good review, which would relieve the bad breath in his heart.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, let's show these ignorant people like us what is alien technology?"
Zhou Guangping regained his composure and sat back in his seat.
Such changes made Chen Hong a little uncomfortable, so he looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Brother Chen Hong, please sit down too. I forgot to show you something when I was outside yesterday. Let's see it together today!"
Chen Hong was confused and sat back down in doubt.
"Mr. Lin, where is the alien technology?"
After waiting for a short while, before Lin Fan took out the alien technology, Zhou Guangping became rude and said with a malicious smile: "If you really can't get it out, forget it."
"Don't worry, now!"
Lin Fan lowered his head and was looking for something in the cabinet.
"Here, here are two confidentiality agreements. Sign them. Once you sign them, you can read them."
Lin Fan found two contracts from the cabinet and slapped them on the table.
"And a confidentiality agreement?"
Zhou Guangping is really convinced. If you really can't get it out, just say so. As for finding such excuses.
"Do I have to sign too?"
Chen Hong on the side looked stunned.
"You have to sign it because it is too important. It is the password to the future!"
The solemn look on Lin Fan's face made Zhou Guangping, who was originally suspicious of the bluff, feel a little confused in his heart. Is there really any great invention or patent?
He calmed down now and carefully studied the words Lin Fan just said, with a confident look on his face.
There is also the other party, who obviously has no experience in the hardware industry, but dares to spend tens of billions of dollars to enter the mobile phone field.
Where does this courage come from?
If you think about it carefully, you might be afraid that the other party might actually have something to rely on, or a magic weapon to win in the mobile phone industry.
If there are just two invention patents, it shouldn't be possible to subvert the existing mobile phone industry, right?
The more Zhou Guangping thought about it, the more confused his mind became.
He originally believed that Lin Fan was bluffing, but when he saw the smiling expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel shaken.
"Oh, did Android come up with something?"
Chen Hong was also thinking on the side, and suddenly thought of the Android that Lin Fan talked about yesterday, and asked.
"Ahem!"
Lin Fan coughed twice, hinting Chen Hong not to talk too much.
Chen Hong also realized that there was an "outsider" next to him and it was not a good time to reveal it. So Chen Hong picked up the confidentiality agreement on the table and looked at it carefully.
Zhou Guangping thought for a while, then picked up another confidentiality agreement and began to read it silently.
Neither of them are business novices, so they naturally understand that contracts cannot be signed randomly, so they are very cautious about what they sign.
Lin Fan didn't push him, just sat on the boss's chair and started playing on the computer.
"Didi!"
"Ahem!"
Zhou Guangping glanced at the source of the voice and guessed that the owner of the alien technology was chatting with someone on QQ.
He guessed right, Lin Fan was chatting with his high school classmate Deng Fenghua.
Pig's feet in the spotlight: Huazi, has school started yet? Have you found an internship?
One word is handsome: I'm open. I'm studying hard in the cold window, trying my best to pass exams. People with connections in my family are starting to make connections everywhere, and I'm planning to go to a securities firm or bank for an internship. I haven't thought about it yet, and I'm not in a hurry yet.
Pig's feet on the vent: Do you want my help?
One word: No need! Hey, I still feel like I'm in a dream. The brother who sleeps on your lower bunk suddenly became a billionaire. You lied to me, saying that there was a guy with the same name as you at Stanford.
Had I not seen the news photos, I would have almost believed it.
When Lin Fan saw this news, he wanted to laugh a little. He and Deng Fenghua had been in contact for the past three years.
The other person was also his best friend in his previous life, and he borrowed money from him when his business failed.
He deliberately hid it from the other party because he didn't want the friendship to deteriorate. As a result, the domestic media exposed his photos. He could definitely hide it from strangers, but he couldn't hide it from acquaintances.
Pig's Knuckle on the Wind: Okay, I still have something to do. I will come to Shanghai to open a branch in Shanghai in a while. I will invite you to dinner then.
One word: Okay, I'm going to class too.
Lin Fan looked away from the computer and looked at Chen Hong and Zhou Guangping.
Both of them handed the signed confidentiality agreement back to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took a look and confirmed that the name was signed correctly, and put the agreement into a drawer.
"Okay, it's time to witness the miracle!"
Lin Fan took out a small password box from the drawer and began to enter the password "didi".
This scene made Chen Hong and Zhou Guangping stunned.
The password box was opened, and a USB drive lay quietly in the center of the depression in the box.
Zhou Guangping thought Lin Fan would take out a mobile phone, but it turned out to be a USB flash drive.
Then he thought that if a mobile phone really came out, he would probably have nothing to worry about.
He began to wonder again, what was in the USB flash drive?
Lin Fan inserted the USB flash drive into the computer's socket, manipulated it a bit, played a video, and then turned the computer screen towards the two of them.
Chen Hong and Zhou Guangping stared at the screen intently. The expressions on their faces changed extremely wonderfully. Sometimes their eyes were enlarged, sometimes their mouths were widened, sometimes they frowned with doubtful eyes, sometimes they nodded unconsciously...
The two watched the video, and Lin Fan watched their expressions.
This video was created by Android internal employees. It simulates the future functions of Android smartphones and various usage scenarios in the form of animation.
Lin Fan has already watched it many times, so naturally he doesn't need to watch it again.
This video cannot be disclosed casually at present, so Lin Fan is afraid that his computer will be hacked, so he uses a USB flash drive to save it, and also equips the USB flash drive with a small password box.
The video is not long, just a few minutes. Many shots just flash by and cannot be seen very carefully. However, it also caused a great psychological impact on Chen Hong and Zhou Guangping, which is impressive.
Lin Fan took back his computer and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, that kind of large-screen mobile phone has a full touch screen, and the material should be capacitive screen, right?"
Zhou Guangping smiled and asked with a flattering look on his face.
Lin Fan was leaning on the large boss chair, looking at the ceiling, with an arrogant look on his face, but he didn't speak.
Zhou Guang Pingpin realized what he meant, and felt a little tangled in his heart.
In the end, his desire for black technology overcame his shamelessness, and he said sternly: "Mr. Lin, I want to apologize to you here. I am just looking at the sky from a well, and my knowledge is shallow. I hope you don't care about it."
After hearing this, Lin Fan finally looked at Zhou Guangping with a straight face and said calmly: "Now do you know what advantages I have?"
Zhou Guangping no longer looked as arrogant as before and nodded, "I know!"
"But……"
Zhou Guangping's temper grew again, and he asked bravely: "But I think it's a bit like a technology that will only come in the next few decades. Can it be realized?"
"Want to know?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Zhou Guangping nodded.
"Join my mobile phone company and I can tell you."
Chen Hong grinned and gave Lin Fan a thumbs up with his hand on the table.
