Two hours later.
Chen Hong sent Zhou Guangping away and returned to the room. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and laughed "Haha", "Brother Lin, you really are the one, you can take off such a thorn."
"You are so arrogant because of your talent!"
Lin Fan had a faint smile on his face, "When he found out that his so-called talent was nothing to me, how could he be so arrogant?"
Chen Hong nodded. Just after watching the video that looked like future technology, he saw Lin Fanru, a kindergarten teacher, holding candy, teasing and educating Zhou Guangping like a child.
Zhou Guangping was indeed very interested in the mobile phone technology shown in the video and kept asking about this and that.
Lin Fan just picked up some trivial things and said nothing about the core technology and design concepts.
Confidentiality agreements are not universal insurance. If Zhou Guangping risks violating the agreement and reports to Motorola headquarters.
Even if Zhou Guangping is punished by law, the damage caused by the leak will be irreversible.
Therefore, before the other party joins, you can only tell the other party something limited.
But just some of the things Lin Fan revealed to a limited extent made Zhou Guangping very satisfied and surprised.
In addition, Lin Fan also promised positions and benefits such as vice president of hardware research and development, stock options, etc.
Zhou Guangping said on the spot that he would resign from Motorola as soon as possible to join Lin Fan's mobile phone company.
At the same time, Zhou Guangping also promised to bring a mature R&D team from Motorola's R&D Center in Beijing.
How many people he can recruit will determine how high his entry salary will be.
"Hey, Brother Lin, have the technologies in that video just been developed?"
The video just now shocked not only Zhou Guangping, but Chen Hong was also one of the surprised ones.
However, his palace is relatively deep and it was not convenient to ask questions just now. Now that outsiders are not present, he finally starts to get to the bottom of it.
"A small part of it!"
Regarding Chen Hong, a friend who planned to start a mobile phone company with him, Lin Fan did not hide anything and told the truth.
This is not beyond Chen Hong's expectation. If all technologies had been developed, he would not start setting up a mobile phone company now.
He now finally understood where Lin Fan's confidence to challenge the international mobile phone giant came from.
If all the functions and usage scenarios in the video can be realized, it may be possible to overwhelm existing mobile phones.
Thinking of this, Chen Hong felt that his investment of only 10 million US dollars was a bit too conservative.
But this kind of thing has already been discussed, and it is not convenient to bring it up at this time.
Lin Fan seemed to have guessed what Chen Hong was thinking, and said with a smile: "If you want to invest more, I welcome it."
Chen Hong waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll just participate. We'll talk about financing later."
As expected of an investment banker, he has a very smart mind and does not have unlimited overdraft of favors.
Lin Fanpin understood what he meant and didn't force it.
…………
…………
In the next half month, Chen Hong continued to mobilize his network resources and invited all the R&D executives hired by Samsung, Nokia and other foreign mobile phone manufacturers in the mainland, technical experts from Microsoft Research Asia, professors from electronics majors, etc.
All over.
Compared to Zhou Guangping, who is proud of his talent and arrogance, these dozens of industry insiders are much more normal.
As soon as they heard that Lin Fan was going to spend tens of billions of dollars to build a mobile phone, many people were tempted, and Lin Fan's treasures at the bottom of the box were not used.
This is exactly what Lin Fan wants. The things locked in the password box will not be seen for the time being, so it is best to minimize the exposure.
The ideas of these foreign executives and technology giants are also very simple.
Major manufacturers such as Nokia and Samsung do not trust Chinese or Chinese executives, and they can feel that there is an obvious promotion ceiling.
Moreover, these companies have been established for decades, and their businesses have matured, so it is impossible to give them a large number of shares.
Not having shares means that they can only receive a decent salary, but this is far from satisfying their idea of financial freedom.
What big foreign companies cannot give them, Lin Fan can give it to them.
And with Lin Fan's worth, he can obviously support his efforts in the mobile phone industry.
Therefore, people who want to join Lin Fan Mobile Phone Company are like crucian carp crossing the river.
In addition to personally interviewing these people, Lin Fan also took advantage of the situation and made requests.
First, bring your own dry food, which means taking the team to change jobs together. This is to avoid reinventing the wheel and use it immediately.
Second, since it is a start-up company, even though Lin Fan is wealthy and has no shortage of money, he saves money whenever he can and agrees with the candidates that his salary will not be increased until the mobile phone is officially launched.
Lin Lin, Zongzong, and Lin Fan put forward many conditions, and the selected candidates readily accepted them.
In the end, after screening and screening, a total of seven people were selected as the key members of the mobile phone company.
In the conference room rented by the hotel, Lin Fan, Chen Hong and the seven key members held a meeting together.
"Mr. Lin, now that we are all here, tell us, what do you want us to do?"
Sitting in the conference room, Zhou Guangping was the first to speak carelessly.
Now that he has officially resigned from Motorola, all he thinks about is "smartphones."
Lin Fan glanced at Zhou Guangping, who shrank his neck.
He was actually a little jealous of Lin Fan in his heart, because those things he was proud of were really vulnerable to the "treasure" Lin Fan brought out!
Lin Fandan said calmly: "Let's use our wisdom, think about it, and give our mobile phone brand a name that is conducive to communication."
This sentence undoubtedly poured cold water on the fanatical minds of a group of people.
If Lin Fan didn't mention it, they would have almost forgotten that there is no mobile phone brand yet and the company has not registered yet.
Most people were attracted by Lin Fan's high net worth and personal credit endorsement, and no one actually asked whether he had registered with the mobile phone company.
However, this is not a pressing matter. It is so simple to register a company.
A man in his thirties with a high hairline adjusted his glasses and said slowly: "Mr. Lin, you have to give us a direction. For example, the customer group of our mobile phone service is young people who pursue fashion and technology.
Middle-aged people pursue business and luxury.”
Lin Fan took a look at the man who spoke. This man was Lin Bing, the engineering director of Microsoft Research Asia, and the president and co-founder of Xiaomi in his previous life.
The other party was an American student in the 1990s, and he and Chen Hong were old acquaintances. When Chen Hong introduced him, he was attracted by Lin Fan at a glance.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Yes, you are right, Old Lin. What I want to emphasize is the sense of technology."
After finishing speaking, Lin Fan operated the computer and projector and started to play his video that was hidden on the bottom of the box.
Except for Zhou Guangping, all the seven key members present had seen this video for the first time and were extremely shocked.
"Lin Sheng, isn't this cartoon just for fun?"
A handsome young man about thirty years old asked while speaking Cantonese Pu.
This man is Huang Jiangji, a Hong Kong native, working in the same company as Lin Bing. He became the chief engineer of Microsoft Research Asia when he was less than thirty years old.
This time Lin Bing decided to change jobs and took him with him.
Lin Fan also accepted the other party's job change and arranged for him and Lin Bing to mainly engage in software research and development.
"Isn't that just for fun?"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "After a while, when the company is established, we will arrange for you to go to Silicon Valley to communicate with Android people.
"How about calling me Everest?"
A man in his thirties wearing glasses and with a bitter face asked.
This man's name is Liu De, the former director of the Industrial Design Department of Beijing University of Science and Technology. He graduated from the American Art and Design Center College, which is ranked number one in industrial design in the world.
Previously, the other party founded and operated a design company called Jingcheng NewEdge, serving as the founder and chief designer. Lin Fan and the company were packaged and bought together.
In his previous life, he was also the co-founder of Xiaomi. He was responsible for the industrial design and supply chain management departments at Xiaomi, and was also known as the "Father of Xiaomi's Ecological Chain."
After Lin Fan poached him, he planned to appoint him as the vice president of industrial design and supply chain management of his mobile phone company.
Lin Fan shook his head, "It's too vulgar, we might as well call it 8848!"
Liu De said nothing and looked at the others.
"Don't look at me, I'm a waste of names!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties with meticulously combed hair and a high-end suit. His name was Deng Yuanjun. He once served as the managing director of Nokia Growth Fund and led investments in well-known projects such as Xiaomi, Ganji.com, and UC Browser.
.
The Nokia Growth Fund was established this year with more than US$1 billion in funds under management.
Lin Fan spent a lot of time poaching the other party. In addition to giving him shares in the mobile phone company, he also planned to appoint him as the CFO and vice president of investment of the mobile phone company.
Lin Fan looked past Deng Yuanyun and towards Qian Chen, who was about the same age as him.
This is a colleague of Zhou Guangping, who also works at Motorola’s Beijing R&D Center. He once had a PhD in underwater acoustics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Lei Jun chatted with him for three months in his previous life. After chatting with him for 17 or 18 times, he was not invited. Later, he went to Hammer
Mobile phone, serving as CTO.
The reason why Lei Jun did not invite him was that the other party did not pursue company shares and had relatively high cash salary requirements. He was the kind of person who "lives in peace" and was criticized by Lei Jun as having no entrepreneurial spirit.
Lin Fan talked with the other party and the salary offered was 50% higher than what he had at Motorola, but the shares and options were several times less than those of other key members.
Currently, this person is assigned to team up with Zhou Guangping and be responsible for hardware research and development together. He is not given a vice president position, only a senior director.
"Just call Future Mobile!"
As soon as Qian Chen finished speaking, Lin Fan and others started laughing.
"Old Qian, it's too straightforward and has no connotation."
Zhou Guangping's mouth has never spared anyone. Even though he has changed companies, he still likes to quarrel with his old colleagues.
"Hey, why does this have no connotation? Future mobile phones come from the future! How great is this."
Qian Chen spoke with an accent from the Beijing-Tianjin area and started arguing with Zhou Guangping.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Lin Fan turned his attention to the fat man in his early thirties who was sitting silently in the corner, and asked with a smile: "Zhaojiang, what do you think? What name should we give him?"
Zhu Zhaojiang was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Lin, you called me?"
The people nearby noticed this scene and couldn't help but smile.
These smiles made Zhu Zhaojiang feel even more embarrassed.
The people present were all senior bosses from foreign-funded manufacturers. They were either from the Chinese Academy of Sciences or had studied abroad. He was the only one who was a country bumpkin. He graduated from a domestic undergraduate program with the lowest academic qualifications and had never studied abroad.
Moreover, he also comes from the waveguide mobile phone, the fighter among domestic mobile phones.
Lin Fan noticed that Zhu Zhaojiang was a little nervous and smiled kindly, "Just say whatever you want, everyone can speak freely today and you can put forward any ideas you have."
"Okay, then I'll say it."
Zhu Zhaojiang slowly analyzed, "Mr. Lin, you named the mobile phone we plan to develop a smartphone. Its characteristics are avant-garde, fashionable and technological."
How many people around me looked at me with disdain, is this the level?
They didn't know why Lin Fan fell in love with this little fat man.
I heard that this person started his career in sales. He joined Bird ten years ago right after graduating from college. He started as a front-line salesman selling pagers and gradually became the executive deputy general manager of Bird.
Why did the other party want to join Lin Fan's mobile phone company?
They speculate that the fighter waveguide in the mobile phone is about to die, and it is said that it will suffer a huge loss of hundreds of millions this year.
With the introduction of mobile phones with new functions such as photography and music, the life of domestic mobile phones with weak technology has become increasingly difficult.
Foreign brands have also adjusted their Chinese market strategies and continuously launched low-priced mobile phones to encircle and suppress domestic brands.
The most embarrassing thing is that there are many black workshops for domestic mobile phones, and the quality is uneven, which basically ruins the reputation of domestic brands.
A good bird chooses the right tree to roost in. From their point of view, it is not surprising that Zhu Zhaojiang gave up the sinking waveguide and chose to accept the olive branch offered by Lin Fan, a wealthy man.
It's just that they feel that Zhu Zhaojiang definitely has no ability. He just sells domestically produced mobile phones and lacks an international perspective.
Lin Fan doesn't have so many random thoughts, and he has never looked down on domestic brands.
This is a debt that has been owed since the late Qing Dynasty. How can it be easily settled? The waveguide is still good.
Zhu Zhaojiang, in particular, went from a front-line salesman who just graduated from college to an executive vice president in ten years. How can you say that such a person has poor abilities?
The most important thing is that the other party is the founder of Transsion Mobile, known as the king of mobile phones in Africa.
Lin Fan originally tried to contact the other party to see if he was willing to join his company.
As a result, Zhu Zhaojiang flew to the capital in person and talked with Lin Fan for a whole day.
After Lin Fan's persuasion, the other party gave up the idea of starting a business and planned to join Lin Fan's mobile phone company first to learn a thing or two.
In addition, Lin Fan also promised that if the time comes in the future, if the other party wants to start a business, he will not stop him and can also invest in him.
Therefore, Zhu Zhaojiang happily accepted Lin Fan's invitation to serve as the vice president of sales of the soon-to-be-established mobile phone company.
Zhu Zhaojiang pretended not to notice the gazes of the people next to him, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "If I hadn't been dazzled just now, this new type of smartphone can be installed with many mobile applications, including games, music, film and television players, and even social networking site applications.
"
Lin Fan nodded, "Yes, you read that right, and you can use your fingers for multi-touch to zoom in and out of web pages. The user experience is definitely better than any current mobile phones and computers."
"If this is the case, I guess the user group is consistent with Internet users, and young people will definitely be the main force buying mobile phones. A good-sounding and trendy name is necessary.
After all, no one wants to call the precious mobile phone they bought home at a high price something like a cat or a dog."
Lin Fan nodded and motioned to Zhu Zhaojiang to continue.
"There is Apple Computer in the United States. How about we call it the Orange Phone? The logo is also made into an orange. It is simple and beautiful, and the name is easy to remember. It is very conducive to communication."
Lin Fan was a little hesitant. If someone calls you Apple and you call him Orange, you might be accused of plagiarism.
However, on the other hand, this is also a knock on the apple to the porcelain.
Zhou Guangping, Lin Bing and others couldn't help but nod, thinking this name was okay.
"I think it's good. I joined Apple in 1989 and was responsible for helping Apple develop the market in the Gulf Province. People feel that such a simple name is quite novel, because before that, it was all big, big, Chinese, and Chinese.
Electronic brands like that.”
Deng Yuanjun had worked at Apple before, and he kept nodding his head when talking about his past work.
In short, he really appreciates the simple and easy-to-remember name of Apple.
Lin Fan thought for a while, an orange phone would also work. He had a fruit phone, although his son was in charge of it now.
There is one mobile phone brand in China, one in the United States, and now with Orange, there are three.
These three brands are definitely independent, just like OPPO and vivo in the future.
After all, in such a large mobile phone market, no matter how powerful a mobile phone is, it is impossible to have a monopoly.
Therefore, competition is the cornerstone for products to get better and better.
