my return 2002

Chapter 301 The Seed of Doubt
In a sense, Lenovo's influence still has a lot to promote the category of handheld computers. Many people didn't know much about the category of handheld computers before.

As a result, after Lenovo's advertising bombardment, the concept of handheld computers was also heated up.

Huang Zhang also took advantage of the chaotic pricing of Lenovo Dimensity 800 to establish relationships with many distributors. Since the market price of Meizu M6 has been stable since its release, and various accessories can make money, many distributors are willing to Sell ​​Meizu products.

In just half a month, Sassafras traveled to more than 30 cities and brought back nearly [-] orders.

In the past six months, Meizu M6 has sold more than 120 million units, and the sales volume has far exceeded the market expectations of many people. Suddenly, an order of 30 units has been added, which means that the sales volume of Meizu M6 is already heading towards 200 million. step forward.

With such a sales volume, it means that the audience of the star system is wider, which also attracts many new third-party software developers to join in. There are more than 500 software applications on the app store alone, although many of them They are all small games with low production threshold and not too attractive, but there are also some popular small games that have made a lot of money.

In addition, the biggest beneficiary is Taobao. After participating in the program recording of Win in China with Shen Lang, Jack Ma arranged for people to work overtime to make the mobile version of Taobao and Alipay based on the star system.

Only one month later, Taobao and Alipay appeared in the third-party application store, and they always occupied the top few download lists.

Jack Ma's efforts have also paid off. The purchasing power of Meizu M6 users is quite good. In the second month, they contributed more than 50 transactions to Taobao, although this figure is not worth the tens of billions of transactions that Taobao has as a whole every year. I mentioned it, but Jack Ma has seen a new shopping model quietly rising.

Aside from being excited, Jack Ma also began to think about whether to make hardware and systems like Shen Lang did, but finally gave up under Cai Chongxin's persuasion.

The reason is also very simple. At this time, Ali is also surrounded by powerful enemies, and does not have so much energy to engage in things that are not related to the main business.

Jack Ma also thought about it. At present, what Ali needs to solve most is the logistics problem.

On the other hand, the re-sale of Meizu M6 also made Xiao Ma feel threatened.

Due to the QQ farm incident, the number of users of YY on the PC port has caught up with QQ, and QQ’s user lead over YY is basically on the mobile end. For this reason, Penguin has spent a lot of effort to make QQ applications adapted to each mobile port. and the web version of QQ.

Brother Xiao Ma called Zhang Zhidong to the office.

"Old Zhang, why don't you go to the Pearl River yourself and meet Huang Zhang?"

After a little thought, Zhang Zhidong understood what Brother Ma was up to, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Right now, Huang Zhang and Shen Lang are in the honeymoon period of cooperation. It may be difficult to get him to accept our investment, right?"

Brother Xiao Ma shrugged indifferently: "Investment doesn't have to be successful to achieve the goal, as long as you bring our goodwill, even if Shen Lang rejects it in the end, Huang Zhang can see Shen Lang's 'true face' clearly. "

As he spoke, a mocking sneer rose from the corner of Brother Ma's mouth.

"Once a seed of doubt is planted, it will one day take root."

Zhang Zhidong's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll take a trip now."

Soon, Zhang Zhidong got in touch with Sassafras. Sassafras refused the olive branch thrown by the penguin at first, but Zhang Zhidong's tone was sincere, and Sassafras didn't want to completely tear himself apart with the penguin, so he agreed to meet him.

A few days later, Zhang Zhidong came to Zhujiang, but Huang Zhang did not take Zhang Zhidong to visit Meizu, but received him in a teahouse.

"Boss Huang, you've been making a big splash recently, and you've knocked Lenovo down." Zhang Zhidong gave Huang Zhang a big compliment as soon as he met.

Huang Zhang is quite proud, you must know that it is Lenovo, how many people bad-mouthed him beforehand, and decided that Yang Yuanqing could press him to death with one finger, and the result?

"Mr. Zhang was joking. It was just a fluke. Besides, the success of Meizu M6 is not all due to me. The star system is the biggest contributor."

Hearing that Huang Zhang pointed out the star system, Zhang Zhidong's expression was a little unnatural, Huang Zhang told him clearly: I know your purpose, don't make wrong ideas.

"Mr. Huang is too modest. In fact, in my opinion, Meizu M6 can achieve good results with a different system. The key is that Mr. Huang has a high enough vision to discover the market prospects of handheld computers." Zhang Zhidong is an old fox after all, still touting road.

The corners of Huang Zhang's mouth twitched, the outside world is a pocket computer. He came up with the idea of ​​a handheld computer. In fact, this is the strategy that Shen Lang decided upon seeing him for the first time. If he didn't agree at the beginning, Shen Lang would definitely do something else. Find a manufacturer to do it.

Sometimes Sassafras is very lucky that he chose to cooperate with Shen Lang, but sometimes he feels insecure. The system is owned by Shen Lang, the application software platform is also owned by Shen Lang, and even the design of Meizu M6 is determined by Shen Lang. of.

For Shen Lang, it was too easy to replace Meizu, but Meizu couldn't do without Shen Lang.

"Boss Zhang is absurd, and I just follow the trend." Huang Zhang didn't want to hear Zhang Zhidong's continued embarrassment, so he asked directly.

"Mr. Zhang came to Zhujiang this time, not just to find me for tea, right?"

Zhang Zhidong said sternly when he heard the words: "In fact, it is like this. I heard that Meizu is going to expand the factory, and it will definitely need a lot of funds."

Huang Zhang understood, shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang will tell you the truth, besides me, Meizu's second largest shareholder is Mr. Shen. I'm afraid I can't accept Penguin's investment."

Zhang Zhidong was well prepared and didn't panic at all. He took a sip from his teacup and said with a leisurely smile.

"Mr. Huang, you also said that you are the largest shareholder, and you should have the final say on financing matters."

"This..." Sassafras was taken aback, then shook his head.

"If Mr. Zhang just came here for this matter, please go back. I don't want instability within Meizu."

Zhang Zhidong didn't expect Huang Zhang to refuse so simply, but he still did not give up.

"Why does Mr. Huang reject people thousands of miles away? As far as I know, Mr. Shen is not a stingy person. You might as well discuss it with Mr. Shen before giving me an answer."

Huang Zhang sent Zhang Zhidong away, but got into trouble when he returned to the company.

He couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to tell Shen Lang about this matter, if he didn't tell Shen Lang, in case Zhang Zhidong spread it by then, he would appear guilty, but if Shen Lang knew that he met Zhang Zhidong, would he Don't have any bad thoughts?

Moreover, he does intend to introduce third-party capital. In fact, if you put aside the grievances between Shen Lang and Xiao Ma, Penguin is a very good investor. Strength checks and balances Shen Lang.

The inner struggle made Sassafras forget the time, and before he knew it, night had fallen.

In the end, Huang Zhang still called Shen Lang, told about Zhang Zhidong's visit to Pearl River, and asked a question by the way.

"President Shen, what do you think?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and he replied, "Mr. Huang can decide on his own."

After hanging up the phone, a coldness flashed in Shen Lang's eyes. Although he believed that Sassafras would definitely reject the olive branch extended by Penguin, judging from the tone of his words, it was actually a call from Sassafras this time. testing his attitude.

Shen Lang called Lei Jun to the office, and went straight to the point.

"Is Mr. Lei interested in doing something challenging?"

Lei Jun was taken aback by these words: "What are you doing?"

Shen Lang said seriously: "Mobile phone!"

Lei Jun was really stunned this time, and it took a full minute to come back to his senses.

"Why did you suddenly think of making a mobile phone? Besides, I don't understand."

Shen Lang said about the matter of sassafras: "The mobile terminal is a very important step in my plan, and there must be no mistakes. Sassafras is an unstable factor. I will find a way to deal with him, but eggs can't be placed In the same basket, we still have to prepare for both hands, so I plan to re-establish a company specializing in mobile phones."

Lei Jun frowned slightly when he heard this: "Of course I am interested in starting a business, but I have no experience in hardware."

Shen Lang analyzed: "Actually, it's not as difficult as you think. You see, we have a ready-made system, and our own chip can be put into use two years later. These two core components have been solved, and the other hardware is nothing more than suitable Problems with matching and mass production."

Lei Jun smiled bitterly: "Why do I feel that you are determined to let me go?"

Shen Lang looked at Lei Jun seriously: "I believe you have this ability."

"Well, well, but if you lose, don't blame me." Lei Jun didn't forget to vaccinate Shen Lang, he always felt that Shen Lang's confidence in him was a bit inexplicable.

The two teased a few more words, and Lei Jun asked again.

"Then have you figured out who will take over the job I'm doing?"

In the past two years, Mr. Lei has been in charge of the overall work. He is coordinating all the resources of the project team. The company will still operate as usual when Shen Lang goes to the United States for a month or two, but if Mr. Lei is not there for such a long time, the company will definitely be in chaos.

Shen Lang said: "Let Zhang Yong take over, he is really inferior in the inspection department."

Lei Jun nodded: "Well, Zhang Yong is quite suitable for this, then you can find a time to chat with Zhang Yong, and I will hand over to him."

A few days later, Shen Lang called Zhang Yong to the office.

When Zhang Yong knocked on the door and came in, Shen Lang just kept asking about his health, which made Zhang Yong a little baffled, until Shen Lang asked him to take over Lei Jun's seat, he was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Lei did a good job."

Shen Lang explained: "Ahem, it's not what you think. Mr. Lei wants to start a new business this time, so he resigned."

This is also the explanation that Shen Lang discussed with Lei Jun. After all, Lei Jun has been in this position for so long, and everyone is used to his management style. If there is a sudden change of boss, it is inevitable that there will be some rumors. Kill a donkey, you can share adversity but not wealth.

In addition, the company is about to conduct a second round of financing, and it is still necessary to avoid some negative effects at this time.

Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's the case."

"You can go back and think about it. If you think about it, you can come to me at any time."

Before Shen Lang finished speaking, Zhang Yong agreed.
"I agree to take over Mr. Lei's position."

This is a good thing to reach the sky in one step. How could Zhang Yong miss this opportunity? Wasn’t the reason why he was willing to quit Shanda at the beginning to get a bigger stage? refuse?

"That's good. From today on, you should explain the work at hand, and then hand it over to Mr. Lei. If you don't understand anything, you can always ask Mr. Lei for advice." Shen Lang patted Zhang Yong's Shoulder.

When Zhang Yong left the office, he felt light under his feet, a little unreal.

Soon, news of Lei Jun's resignation began to spread within the company. For a while, there were different opinions. Some said that Zhang Yong squeezed Lei Jun away, and some said that Shen Lang was jealous and could not see Lei Jun's growing prestige in the company. Big, so kick him away.

For this reason, Lei Jun also published an internal letter to explain the real situation. After learning that Lei Jun left the company because he planned to start a business, the rumors gradually disappeared.

However, doubts about Zhang Yong also began to emerge. On the one hand, it has only been more than a year since Zhang Yong joined the company. At the beginning, he was a CFO and managed finances. There are not a few people who have been punished by him, so it is natural to hold grudges in their hearts.

In this regard, Zhang Yong is not in a hurry to prove himself, and basically handovers work with Lei Jun every day, and occasionally invites the heads of various project teams to the office for tea.

Lei Jun saw all of this, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to help him?"

Shen Lang shrugged: "If he can't even solve this problem, it proves that he is not capable of taking this seat."

"It makes sense." Lei Jun thought about it, and then changed the subject and asked.

"I'm completely free now. When will the project you mentioned start?"

Shen Lang teased: "At first, I said that you took a long break to rest and spend time with your sister-in-law. Since you are so impatient, let's start right away."

"How about this, I will invest 5000 million yuan in the early stage for you. You first acquire a company with a good foundation and certain electronic research and development capabilities, and build the framework first. You can get familiar with the business first, or directly make a product for practice. That's fine, anyway, you're the one who decides, I'll give you 20% of the shares, and it's all up to you to achieve what you can achieve in the future!"

Hearing this, Lei Jun looked at Shen Lang in surprise, he didn't expect that Shen Lang really only invested money and didn't care about it. Only then did he realize that the re-starting business that Shen Lang said before was not a joke.

After a short period of melancholy, Lei Jun felt more excited. Although he was quite happy under Shen Lang's hands these years, he was still working part-time after all.

Thinking of this, Lei Jun couldn't sit still anymore, and began to go to various places for investigation.
