Chapter 132 [To develop your own operating system independently]
Only a financing amount of 3.5 million yuan?
Hearing the amount he quoted, Fang Hong recalled the memory information in his past life. When Rebus established Xiaomi, the first financing was close to 35 million yuan, and Rebus' personal strong personal network resources.
These are the network resources and appeal of a senior citizen.
Even Rebus could have spent 35 million on his own. He was already very successful before he founded Xiaomi.
After Qin Feng reported the price, he waited for Fang Hong's response.
Rebus's Xiaomi Technology, his investors did not hesitate to invest money with their eyes closed when Xiaomi Technology was valued at tens of billions of dollars. The reason was the people.
In fact, Fang Hong was the same at this moment. He was not investing in Qin Feng's company, but in him.
Qin Feng's answer to the second question was beyond Fang Hong's expectations, and he also significantly raised his evaluation of Qin Feng's potential. This is a rare talent who can accurately judge the future trends of the industry ten years ahead of schedule.
As a person who has been reborn through time travel, Fang Hong is very aware of the future trend. Coupled with Qin Feng's own technical level, this person's value potential cannot be overstated by an estimate of 1 billion.
The difference is that Rebus is already a well-known big shot, while Qin Feng is still a little-known person at the moment. The most amazing rate of return is to take action before he becomes famous.
Since he is very optimistic about this person and he is still unknown, it is time for him to show his dignity. Qin Feng will definitely regard Fang Hong as a noble person in life and career.
After clearing some things about Rebus from his mind, Fang Hong turned to think about another question. Given such an opportunity, why not create a story about "Bo Le knows a thousand-mile horse"?
If it spreads out after many years, it will definitely bring about a huge increase in reputation value.
In addition to this implicit purpose, another purpose is to require Qin Feng's startup company to grow faster without reducing quality, eat more food than others, eat better than others, and be as tall as others.
It's not okay for others to be faster.
The start-up capital of 3.5 million is quite a lot, but in Fang Hong's eyes it is still too little. Too little capital will inevitably restrict development efficiency. Compared with capital cost, time cost is the most precious.

Smartphones are a typical capital-intensive industry, and Fang Hong could not tolerate a technology growth company wasting a year or even longer in order to save hundreds or tens of millions.
In the end, Fang Hong's hand on his knee was slightly raised for about ten centimeters and then stopped motionless. He stretched out his index finger and pointed at Qin Feng. This small movement made Qin Feng feel an oppressive aura coming from the opponent.
It was passed on.
With a smile on his face, Fang Hong looked at Qin Feng and said: "3.5 million is too little. The 30% equity transfer remains unchanged. I will give you 35 million."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Feng was stunned and surprised. He confirmed clearly that it was 35 million, but he never expected that Fang Hong would actually give ten times the amount he quoted, and the equity would remain unchanged at 30%.
This caught him by surprise.
But there was another thing that surprised him. Qin Feng couldn't help but ask: "Brother Fang, you mean you invest? Not Qunxing Capital?"
Xu Jingren told him before that as long as he could control Fang Hong, he would have a high probability of getting investment from Qunxing Capital, but when he heard what Fang Hong said just now, it seemed that he was the one who provided the money, not Qunxing Capital.
Fang Hong put his hands on his knees again and said with a smile: "Of course I didn't vote for you personally. Stars Capital has some connections with my family, but you only need to understand what I said."
It has some connection with my family.
Fang Hong said this. When Qin Feng chats with Xu Jingren one day and talks about this matter, Xu Jingren will automatically think that "my family" that Fang Hong said refers to Hexuan's family. This is not the same as "rich woman".
We're together, there's nothing wrong with expressing it this way.
However, Qin Feng was a little confused about this at this time and did not understand the relationship between Fang Hong and Qunxing Capital. However, this was not the point. He quickly ignored the question and said instead: "35 million is too much.
Not that much money.”
When Fang Hong heard this, whether he was rejecting out of emotional intelligence or really felt that he didn't need so much money, at least his attitude made him very satisfied. He immediately smiled and said: "You really want to play high-tech only if you don't have enough money."
, when there is no money to spend, let alone 35 million, 350 million can be burned quickly. The time cost is much higher than the capital cost. Giving you ten times the money will speed up the development of your company ten times."
If investing 3.5 million in him can make the company's first product go online in three years, then giving him 35 million should cut the product online time in half. At the same time, the quality and technical specifications of the product must not be bad. Expanding capital costs in exchange for time costs.
savings.
Qin Feng understood. With ten times the initial quotation, he had to accelerate the company's development ten times while ensuring quality.
Of course, "ten times" is just a saying, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the speed must be increased by ten times if it is true.
Sure enough, this money is not free!
Fang Hong drank half a glass of water, put down the glass, looked at Qin Feng and said, "I have an additional condition."
Qin Feng said: "Please speak."
Fang Hong nodded and said: "The smartphones developed by your company cannot use the Android open system. You must develop your own operating system independently. You cannot rely on other people's products, especially foreigners."
The Android system is a free and open source operating system based on the Linux kernel. Version 1.0 was released in September 2008 last year, and the Symbian system currently has an absolute advantage in the smartphone market.
Under such circumstances, the Android 1.0 system released by Google is not favored by the outside world, and there are even rumors that Google will abandon the Android system within a year at most.
All in all, in the battlefield of smartphone operating systems, Android is still the younger brother, and Symbian is the older brother.
Although Android came out first, there is still time to catch up, and now Symbian is the big brother. However, Nokia has abandoned its martial arts skills and abandoned the Symbian brand two years later. Nokia is not worried.
Therefore, if Qin Feng wants to make a smartphone, he must make his own operating system in the initial stage. The current time is March 2009. Although Android is a step ahead, it does not have an absolute lead, and the domestic mobile Internet has just started.
All the major smartphone manufacturers are not around yet, so there is no reason why they can’t make their own operating systems.
Since Fang Hong decided to invest in him, he would naturally provide enough support in terms of financing so that he would have no worries about funding.
At the end, Qin Feng suddenly said: "To be honest, Brother Fang, I have never considered using the Android system at all. I originally planned to develop it myself."
When he said this, he had a strong sense of confidence and was quite calm when it came to technology.
Fang Hong was also stunned for a moment, then joked and said: "It seems that I lost money, so I should change the conditions, haha."
Since you don't plan to use it, that's the best thing.
At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly took out a white smartphone from his pocket and handed it to Fang Hong. The latter took the phone in surprise and looked at it.
There is no brand logo on the body, and the screen of this phone is larger than the 3.5-inch iPhone, while this phone has a 4.0-inch screen.
Fang Hong pressed the power button on the side to wake up the screen. After opening it and trying it out, he was surprised and said: "This operating system... this is not an Android phone. Which brand is it?"
Saying that, Fang Hong looked at Qin Feng.
After a while, Qin Feng said in an orderly manner: "This mobile phone is a component that I went to Pengcheng to buy. Some of the components were modified by my own hand. Finally, I assembled this mobile phone. The operating system was also developed by me."
, it is currently a basic board but the basic functions can be used normally.”
Fang Hong was quite calm in the first few words, but when he heard Qin Feng say that he also developed the operating system, Fang Hong was rarely surprised and said immediately: "You said? You developed the operating system?"
Qin Feng nodded and said: "The development started around February 2008."
Fang Hong quickly said: "You only spent one year on your own?"
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
No matter how talented Qin Feng is, it is impossible for him to build an operating system in just one year. Fang Hong inherited the body of the original owner. He also understands computer technology and can program and develop programs himself.
If nothing else, the project quantities are there.
At this time, Qin Feng said with a smile: "Of course I am not alone. This operating system was completed by me and a group of like-minded gray hats."
Gray hatter?
Fang Hong immediately understood when he heard the name. Gray hat hackers are so-called gray hat hackers. As the name suggests, gray hat hackers are between black hat hackers and white hat hackers. Although gray hat hackers may not have malicious intentions, they may
Hack into a network without the owner's consent to check for existing vulnerabilities.
When gray hat hackers have scanned vulnerabilities in the network, they may also alert owners to pay attention to them, and even hope to hire them to fix the vulnerabilities and provide suggestions or solutions to the vulnerabilities.
Fang Hong's expression changed after a moment of surprise, but he was still excited.
Because he suddenly realized that he not only discovered a genius like Qin Feng, but also discovered the rhythm of a whole group of people. Even if the level of others is not as good as Qin Feng, they must all be rare talents.
