my return 2002

Chapter 312 Not Much Time

"Oh? Mr. Shen is also interested in building cars?"

Wang Chuanfu just wanted to invest a small amount of money on Shen Lang's whim. During the conversation, a group of people had already arrived at his office. Wang Chuanfu asked the secretary to make a pot of tea, and then let the accompanying executives go out.

Shen Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip. After walking for so long, he was indeed a little thirsty. After moistening his throat, he said seriously.

"Actually, has Mr. Wang ever thought that cars may become as smart as mobile phones?"

Lei Jun's head buzzed, and he looked at Shen Lang in shock. Others might not know what Shen Lang meant, but he immediately realized that the model of the star system + Godson is also possible. Used in cars?

At this time, he realized why Shen Lang came to Pengcheng so actively. From the very beginning, Shen Lang didn't come for any mobile phone foundry, but BYD Auto.

Although Wang Chuanfu looks calm on the surface, he is actually shocked. He has used the Meizu M6 himself, and the experience is very good. If it can be copied to the car machine, it will undoubtedly be a huge selling point.

"I'm afraid this is not easy?" Wang Chuanfu was very cautious.

Shen Lang praised without any trace: "Of course, any innovation is not easy, just like when Mr. Wang decided to make a car, how easy is it?"

Wang Chuanfu had a sad expression on his face when he heard the words: "Yes, many times, we entrepreneurs are not understood."

"So, the key is that we know what we are going to do." Shen Lang added.

Wang Chuanfu's face suddenly became extremely serious: "Mr. Shen said just now that he wanted to invest in BYD Auto, but did he just want BYD to use the star system? Or is he really optimistic about the future of BYD Auto?"

"There are both. In my opinion, BYD Auto is on the right path. There may be ups and downs along the way, but there will definitely be a bright future." Shen Lang sat up straight and said seriously.

After hearing this, Wang Chuanfu couldn't help showing a smile on his face. The pressure he has been under these years is too heavy. Sometimes even he himself doubts whether he has gone the wrong way and whether BYD can really survive until the day when the clouds are cleared. .

However, Wang Chuanfu did not immediately agree to Shen Lang's investment, but asked him in detail how the Xingchen system was transplanted to the car-machine system.

Shen Lang began to talk about the future of the smart car-machine system.

"Mr. Wang, in fact, many times, our concept of cars has been solidified by foreign auto giants. They set a set of standards and then told the world that cars should be like this, and car manufacturers all over the world should be like them. Build cars like that."

"However, the fact is that they have lost their sensitivity to new things because of their previous achievements over the years. The model of electric energy + smart car system + mobile Internet will break people's inherent concept of cars. It is no longer a tool with four wheels and an iron shell that can only be used for transportation."

"It is a private space that can bring users more technological enjoyment! Here users can use social software to chat with friends, lie in the cab and watch popular movies and TV series, and even let the car drive automatically to the The destination, the existence of the car as a family member, will no longer appear in the Internet jokes, but will actually happen around the user."

Wang Chuanfu was greatly shocked, Shen Lang's words gave him a kind of transparency, and the strong sense of the picture made him very excited.

After calming down, Wang Chuanfu couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly: "Mr. Shen really gave me a reason that I couldn't refuse."

Shen Lang shrugged: "Our cooperation will be a match made in heaven, why should Mr. Wang refuse?"

"Well, since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore. How much BYD shares does Mr. Shen want?" Wang Chuanfu said seriously.

Shen Lang pondered for a moment: "10%."

Wang Chuanfu was not too surprised. He had some understanding of Shen Lang before, and he also knew his style of conduct. As an Internet entrepreneur, Shen Lang's approach was actually a bit conservative for industrialists. Regarding shares or, in other words, for companies Control has extremely high requirements. In other words, he is an insecure person.

"BYD is a listed company. Such a large share transaction needs to be approved by the board of directors, and I hope that the transaction will be completed with a certain percentage of cash plus a certain percentage of Star Technology shares!" Wang Chuanfu said in a very serious tone. firm.

Shen Lang thought about it for a while, and agreed. Since it was decided to cooperate in depth, it will last long if you have me among you and you among me. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to one party getting stuck in the other's neck, which would make the other party feel insecure feel.

Moreover, from the beginning, Shen Lang's positioning of the Xingchen system was - an open system. At this time, the Symbian system is so powerful in the mobile phone market.

However, when Nokia acquired Symbian in 2008 and announced its monopoly, it was tantamount to pushing all the mobile phone manufacturers in the world to Android, which led to the rise of the Android system.

Shen Lang is very clear that no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to monopolize the entire mainland Internet. Only opening up can attract more software and hardware manufacturers to gradually expand the star system, so as to cope with the sanctions imposed by the United States.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation!"

From the beginning to the end, Lei Jun was watching from the sidelines, and only then did he realize that he seemed to have underestimated Shen Lang's ambition.

After chatting for so long, it was almost time for dinner. Wang Chuanfu fulfilled his promise and took out several bottles of ten-year-old Moutai.

It's just that Shen Lang's drinking capacity is really incomparable with these veterans in the alcoholic battlefield, and he was poured down halfway, but Lei Jun fought Wang Chuanfu until the last moment.

At the same time, Foxconn's Lao Guo also received the news. Before Lei Jun inspected the Foxconn factory, he sent senior executives to receive him.

In Lao Guo's view, it is not a good sign for Lei Jun and Shen Lang to go to BYD this time. In order to prevent BYD Electronics from being split and listed, he has tried his best, and he has spent a lot of energy on public opinion.

Naturally, he didn't want Shen Lang to come out with bad things, so Lao Guo got Shen Lang's phone number.

A few days later, Shen Lang was awakened by the ringtone of the phone, rubbed his swollen temples, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey."

"Hey, Mr. Shen, I'm Guo Taiming from Foxconn. I heard that Mr. Shen has come to Pengcheng, and he wants to do his best as a landlord. I wonder if Mr. Shen is inconvenient?"

Shen Lang was delighted when he heard it: "It turned out to be Mr. Guo, look at me, I should have taken the initiative to visit, and I would trouble you to call yourself."

Old Guo laughed loudly: "Mr. Shen is too polite. I have always heard of your name, and I have admired you for a long time. It is rare to have such an opportunity. Look, Mr. Shen."

"No problem, then at three o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Lei and I will visit Foxconn."

It's all about this, Shen Lang can't be too unkind, and there is no guarantee that there will be no chance of cooperation in the future, there is no need to offend people to death.

"Then I'll sweep the couch to welcome you." Lao Guo hung up the phone in satisfaction.

Coming out of the hotel room, they knocked on Lei Jun's door, and the two went to have breakfast together, to be precise, it should be brunch.

During the meal, Lei Jun still had some lingering fears: "This President Wang can drink too much, it seems that we can't compete with him for wine in the future."

Shen Lang couldn't help gloating: "It's rare that you, the God of Dionysus, admit to being cowardly."

Lei Jun said contemptuously: "You have the nerve to say that you fell down not long after the banquet started, and your drinking capacity still hasn't improved after such a long time."

Regarding this, Shen Lang also expressed his helplessness. Maybe he really doesn't have the talent for drinking. Although he has improved his drinking capacity over the years, he is still far behind compared to people like Lei Jun. He has just warmed up. Already drunk and unconscious.

"By the way, Foxconn's Lao Guo invited us to visit in the afternoon, and I have already agreed." Shen Lang told Lei Jun about the situation.

Lei Jun said in a low voice: "I have heard that these two families are engaged in Infernal Affairs. It seems to be true. We just arrived yesterday, and Lao Guo received the news."

Then Lei Jun said with some concern: "We just talked with Mr. Wang yesterday, and we are going to Foxconn today. Will Mr. Wang think too much?"

Shen Lang directly took out his mobile phone and called Wang Chuanfu.

When Wang Chuanfu heard the words, he said generously that it didn't matter, he welcomed fair competition.

But after hanging up the phone, Wang Chuanfu immediately contacted the board of directors and various investors.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Lang and Lei Jun appeared at the Foxconn Longhua factory, and Lao Guo led a group of executives to warmly receive them.

As the world's largest foundry, Foxconn's scale is much larger than that of BYD. There are nearly 20 employees in Longhua alone.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Lei, this factory building in District E is our OEM workshop for Nokia. From the injection molding, stamping, grinding and polishing of the shell to the subsequent assembly and testing of spare parts, it is all done here. To put it bluntly, Nokia only needs to hand over their production needs to us, and we can tailor an exclusive production line for them!" Lao Guo said vigorously.

In the eyes of many people, Foxconn is just a factory of blood and tears, with no technical content. In fact, compared with many factories, Foxconn is still relatively formal, just like factories such as Mouli and Moore. Foxconn is the first large-scale factory to implement five insurances and one housing fund without purchasing social insurance for employees according to law.

As for technology, although the foundry does not have any high-end technology, it is not something that anyone can do. Foxconn does have a great advantage in the field of electronic product foundry, and Lao Guo is not bragging.

Shen Lang touted a few words in agreement: "Sure enough, today's trip was not in vain. Boss Lei and I have benefited a lot."

After the visit, it was almost time for dinner, so Lao Guo couldn't help entertaining him. At the banquet, Lao Guo asked Shen Lang about how he met Wang Chuanfu yesterday.

Shen Lang laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he didn't show any signs of expression, and started to practice Taijiquan. Not to mention, after several years of training, Shen Lang can still keep his face and heart beating. What a lie.

Lao Guo naturally didn't believe Shen Lang's nonsense, so he put the breakthrough on Lei Jun again, but he underestimated Lei Jun's drinking capacity, and he was drunk to the ground not long after.

Almost a week after returning from Pengcheng, Wang Chuanfu brought good news to Shen Lang. The board of directors and all shareholders agreed to invest in the form of cash + stock exchange.

After a series of intense negotiations, Shen Lang acquired a 4% stake in BYD with RMB 15 million in cash plus a 10% stake in Stellar Technology and a seat on the board of directors.

Both parties were quite satisfied with this. After the announcement of Shen Lang's investment in BYD, BYD's stock price also rose sharply, and the shareholders were naturally overjoyed.

After returning to Shanghai, Mr. Lei couldn't sit still anymore, and officially started to prepare for the company.

With the previous reputation of Jinshan and Inspur Technology, Lei Jun’s venture has also attracted the attention of many investment institutions, and some investment companies even want to buy bottom investment. Lack of money, there is no rush to raise money.

The name of the new company is still the Xiaomi that Shen Lang is familiar with. According to Lei Jun's words, Xiaomi plus a rifle is infinitely powerful.

After Lei Jun started his business, many former Jinshan departments came to join him, and Shen Lang also learned some inside stories about Zhou Hongyi and Brother Xiaoma from them.

It turned out that Zhou Hongyi had only sold the anti-virus software business to Brother Xiao Ma, and he still held the game business and WPS project team in his hands, and planned to rely on these two projects to make a comeback.

It is said that Zhou Hongyi invested all the funds from the anti-virus software business in game projects, and is currently working on JX3.

Lei Jun still has feelings for Jinshan's old department, and he is also short of people, so naturally he will not refuse anyone, and soon gathered a small team of 30 people.

What Shen Lang didn't expect was that Lei Jun actually rented the previous office of Inspur Technology, saying that it was a good fortune, which made Shen Lang a little dumbfounded.

However, Lei Jun was full of confidence. After entering the familiar office, he immediately started to act. Although Jinshan’s old department had no experience in making mobile phones before, this group of people, as the industry’s best in the past, are still very good at learning and adapting. Strong, under Lei Jun's dispatch, he quickly found his new position.

In addition, Lei Jun also hired a design team from BlackBerry to design the appearance and internal structure of Xiaomi phones.

In addition, Lei Jun often went to He Xiaopeng to exchange ideas about mobile phone operating systems with him.

As the former immediate boss, He Xiaopeng still respected Lei Jun very much, and some of Lei Jun's ideas were also accepted by him and added to the star system.

In addition, Shen Lang also brought a more difficult task to He Xiaopeng, that is, after the overall framework of the star system is built, the research and development of the car-machine system must also be taken into account.

He Xiaopeng never expected that before the mobile phone system was available, Shen Lang would assign him such a difficult task, and he couldn't help complaining.

"You can't give me time to breathe."

Shen Lang could only pat him on the shoulder comfortingly: "I also want to give you time, but we really don't have much time."

Shen Lang is very clear that Google will launch the Android open source project at the end of the year, and just two months ago, the first-generation iPhone has been released and will be officially released in June, which also indicates that the era belonging to that man is coming.

Shen Lang once saw Lei Jun being asked his opinion on Jobs in an interview. At that time, as a bystander, Shen Lang just thought it was very interesting, but he really realized it when he decided to make a mobile phone.

How oppressive the name Jobs has brought to all mobile phone practitioners.
