The next morning, Charson brought his lawyer and signed a trial contract with Shengtang Technology. At the same time, he, the interim CEO of Shengtang Technology, also officially took up his post.
Chen Feng presided over a high-level meeting of the company, introduced Charson to everyone, and then took him to the workshop to familiarize himself with the production line. After that, Chen Feng asked the company's human resources manager to accompany him to introduce the current situation of the company.
He himself immediately went to the airport and flew back to Los Angeles.
After getting off the plane, I took the car directly to the custom-made dress shop. I had already confirmed with Miranda on the phone that a relatively slim-fitting suit was customized for Chen Feng.
This store was two or three kilometers away from their villa. When they arrived at the location, they entered with two bodyguards. Soon the owner of the store came out to greet him personally and brought him a dress customized by Miranda.
After Chen Feng put it on, he stood in front of the floor-length mirror and looked at it. It felt like it fit very well. This was probably because the size Miranda reported to the other party was very accurate.
The shop owner was an old white man with a Chinese accent. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, your outfit looks perfect. You can feel it for yourself. If there is anything that needs to be changed, we will change it for you right away."
Chen Feng moved his hands and stretched his arms, and they all felt good. His shoulders and armpits did not feel tight or loose.
"No need. That's it."
"Okay, sir."
Chen Feng also happily signed a cash check to pay the bill, and then took the car back to the villa.
At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Feng walked into the villa wearing a brand new dress and saw Miranda and other women sitting on the sofa watching entertainment news.
As soon as Chen Feng came in, they all cast their eyes in.
Catherine was the first to stand up from the sofa with a surprised look on her face, greeted Chen Feng, and said happily: "Master, you are finally back. Have you finished all the things in your company?"
"It's still early. After attending the premiere, I have to go back tomorrow."
Several women couldn't help but look disappointed when they heard this.
Miranda asked with some resentment: "Then how long will you have to work there?"
Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "This is not necessarily true, but it will take at least a month or two. Of course, you don't have to stay there every day, but you have to stay there most of the time. You will all be there by then.
You can go over and have a look and just treat it as a fun trip."
When Miranda heard that Chen Feng had to be busy for so long, she couldn't help but feel a little more resentful, but thinking that he was going to do business after all, she could only endure it.
Chen Feng saw her displeasure and said with a smile: "Maybe you don't know very well what the Android phone that I lead the development and production of is like? Now, I will bring the actual thing over for you to actually operate it."
As Chen Feng spoke, he took out several Android phones from the bag in his hand.
Give one to the nearest Catherine first, then go over and give it to Miranda, Emily and Zhao Wenxiu.
The four women held it in their hands and looked at it with curious expressions.
"The operation is similar to that of an iPhone." Chen Feng explained to them with a smile and demonstrated it himself. All four of them already had iPhones, so they got started quickly.
"This is really good. In operation, it seems to be no different from the iPhone. This is really amazing! Apart from the iPhone, there seems to be no similar smartphone on the market now. Are you trying to compete with the iPhone for the market? This is really
It’s very cool, iPhones have been selling like crazy in the past few months.”
Emily had a look of surprise and admiration on her face, praising it while operating it, and then curiously asked: "How much do you plan to sell such a mobile phone?"
Chen Feng said: "There are two configuration versions, one with 8GB of memory and priced at US$399, and one with 16GB of memory priced at US$499."
"Wow, this is too cheap. It's much cheaper than the iPhone. And the configuration is higher than the iPhone. There must be business in this."
The current official selling price of iPhone is still US$499 for 4GB and US$599 for 8GB, and there are usually price increases on the market.
"I think so too." Chen Feng said confidently.
Zhao Wenxiu asked curiously: "Brother, aren't your mobile phones sold in Datang?"
Chen Feng explained: "For the time being, we will sell in Europe and the United States because the production capacity is still relatively limited. After the market in Europe and the United States is determined, I will have to return to China to invest in building a factory and create a mobile phone production base to supply the Android mobile phone market around the world.
.”
Miranda was operating the mobile phone in her hand at this time, her eyes couldn't help but get brighter and brighter. When she heard Chen Feng's words, she became even more excited and said: "My dear, are you really confident to compete with the iPhone and Apple?"
Chen Feng smiled confidently and said: "You just operated an Android phone. What do you think of this phone compared to the iPhone?"
Miranda said honestly: "There is basically no difference. And I feel that the operation is a little smoother than the iPhone."
This is not Miranda's illusion. Because the Android system is based on the iOS system, and in the underlying design, Chen Feng, a boss with computer proficiency, also partially participated, which gave the R&D team led by Rubin a good
instructions.
Therefore, this Android generation mobile phone is not much different from the iPhone generation mobile phone in terms of system.
What's more important is that the first-generation Android phones completely surpass the iPhone in terms of hardware configuration, including hard indicators such as CPU, running memory and storage space, but the price is much cheaper than the iPhone. This undoubtedly enhances its competitiveness and cost-effectiveness.
Of course, Chen Feng will not lose money. Smartphones are inherently profitable commodities, especially now that smartphones have just emerged.
Not to mention earning half and half, but it is normal to maintain a profit point of more than 30%.
"Your feeling is correct. Although the iPhone is an epoch-making product, our Android phones are not substitutes that lag behind them, but competitors of the iPhone. Moreover, our pricing is lower than theirs, making it more competitive in the market.
It can also better popularize smartphones."
"Chen Feng, I have a hunch that you are going to make a fortune. A very, very big fortune." Emily stared at Chen Feng with bright eyes and said, "Your company is now accepting investment.
What? I can invest all my savings in the past two years in your company."
Chen Feng shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Sorry. Our company has just completed financing and no longer accepts external funds."
"Alas!" Emily sighed, with a look of disappointment on her face, and complained, "Chen Feng, we are good friends, you should bring me with you when it comes to making money like this."
Chen Feng smiled bitterly and said: "No one can guarantee to get rich until this kind of thing succeeds. Therefore, when I first acquired the Android company, I didn't even tell Miranda. Not long ago, Shengtang Technology was established to officially produce
I just told her about Android phones. At that time, neither Miranda nor you were interested in Android phones."
Emily said a little depressed: "I didn't try your Android phone myself at that time, how could I know whether it was good or not? I had seen news in some media that a certain smartphone was being developed, but in the end it was proved
It’s fake news. High-tech products like the iPhone are not easy to copy. But you did it. If I hadn’t held this Android phone in my own hands right now, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
Emily was also a little depressed and said: "You should have told me in more detail at that time. If I knew that the Android phone you developed was really so good and comparable to the iPhone, I would definitely invest in you."
Chen Fengxin said that the money you give is only a few million US dollars at most. What use is it to me? Besides, the reason why he accepted financing, and for three companies at once, is he short of money? Isn’t it because of the intricate network of relationships behind these three capital companies?
.
Of course, it was difficult for Chen Feng to tell them this. He could only pretend to be helpless and said: "There is no other way. Now that I have accepted financing from three capital companies, they will not allow private investors to inject more capital. Now I can only
Accounting for a little more than half of the shares of this new company. However, Landa, if you marry me, I am willing to give you 10% of the shares of this new company. Believe me, this 10% of the shares will be worth one year at most.
It’s worth at least $100 million.”
When Miranda heard this, she rolled her eyes at Chen Feng angrily and said, "Thank you. But I won't accept your share gift easily. It will make me look very philistine. I'm not the kind of person who marries people just for money.
.”
Chen Feng could only say: "Of course I know you are not. This is just a way of managing money between husband and wife."
Emily smiled and said: "That's true. If you don't sign a prenuptial agreement or property notarization before marriage, Landa, you will be equivalent to owning half of Chen Feng's premarital property."
Miranda did not speak, but looked at Chen Feng with a smile.
Chen Feng felt a little itchy when he saw it. If he said he didn't want to sign a prenuptial agreement, it would be a lie. But to be honest now, Miranda would definitely be angry no matter what. If he didn't sign it, then he was serious.
Silly.
This is not that Chen Feng doesn’t trust Miranda, but that he doesn’t trust himself. After all, Beyoncé and her children are invisible bombs. If there is a prenuptial property agreement, Miranda may not get divorced even if she knows about it.
; But if not, Miranda will probably get divorced.
Of course, this is just Chen Feng's worst-case scenario, but it is also a precautionary measure.
"Nowadays, most people, especially rich people, sign a property agreement before getting married." Catherine spoke to explain Chen Feng's confusion, "If you don't sign, it doesn't necessarily mean that you don't love the other person, and if you sign it, it doesn't necessarily mean that you love the other person.
The other half is loyal and loyal. After all, people change. However, I think that before the master and his wife sign the agreement, they can agree that if the master cheats or is unfaithful in the future, resulting in divorce, and when the property is divided, the master can divide the property.
Get a certain percentage of property.”
This is really my good apprentice. At first, Chen Feng seemed fine, but later on, he was really digging a hole for his master.
"It's useless to talk about it now. Your wife has not even promised to get engaged to me, let alone get married."
Chen Feng pretended to sigh with disappointment, then changed the topic and said: "You all can help try it out, and then compare it with the iPhone and tell your true feelings. It's best to talk about the shortcomings."
"Can this be improved?" Zhao Wenxiu, a cousin, also noticed the sensitivity of the topic just now and immediately helped change the topic.
"Of course it can be improved. Of course, this is just an improvement on the system and software. It can be downloaded online and automatically upgraded. There are basically no fatal flaws in the hardware. The Android company has conducted rigorous testing."
"Since you are now officially in large-scale production, there shouldn't be any big problems." Emily also said.
"It should be like this. But system software cannot be perfect. Just like a computer's operating system, vulnerability patches are released every once in a while."
"Master, your mobile phone screen looks a little clearer than Apple's." Catherine also lowered her head and fiddled with her mobile phone and commented intuitively.
Emily echoed: "I noticed it too. I originally thought it was just a bit brighter, but now that I've taken a closer look, the screen is indeed clearer."
Chen Feng said slightly proudly: "Of course. After all, we are a few months behind the iPhone, and now the hardware technology is advancing with each passing day. The LCD screen we use the latest technology produces, in terms of resolution,
It surpasses the iPhone in terms of speed and clarity.”
"It's really nice. There's also a player."
As she spoke, Emily clicked on a music player built into her Android phone, and a song that came with it suddenly started playing. The sound sounded quite good in this era, at least not worse than the iPhone.
"Okay. I think it's almost time for us to get ready and set off."
Miranda looked at her phone, then interrupted everyone's discussion about Android phones.
The premiere of "Juno" is at seven o'clock in the evening, and it's only after three o'clock now. It seems that there is still plenty of time.
However, as a film director, Marcia has been busy working in the theater for a long time, Chen Feng, as a producer, and Miranda, as the heroine, are still at home, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
"Okay, let's get ready and then set off to the theater."
None of the women had any objections. Tonight's premiere, these four women are going, including Catherine and Zhao Wenxiu.
The four women quickly went back to their rooms to put on makeup and dress up.
Half an hour later, the four women finally gathered in the living room on the first floor and set off for the theater.
This premiere was quite grand. First of all, the theater was chosen to be the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars were held. The rental for the nearly three-hour premiere tonight was not cheap.
Secondly, there are also a lot of other labor costs. Of course, these funds are all paid out of the remaining budget of the crew. Chen Feng, the investor, doesn't care about anything.
The group of people entered the Dolby Theater first, and then found Marcia who was in charge of the overall command. Most of the people under his command were the original crew members, and most of them were her old subordinates. Of course, they could all come.
It's not free, you have to pay extra.
After coming to the headquarters to report, the next step is to wait for the red carpet.
Looking at the time, there were still nearly two hours left, Chen Feng was speechless for a while.
Fortunately, after taking out a smartphone like an Android phone and surfing the Internet, Chen Feng saw the quarrel between fans of Tina and Tiffany once again started on the Internet.
