Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water

To be blunt.

What Qi Lei is doing now is no different from "bathing hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake".

Move domestic video content abroad, take a shower, and then move it back home from abroad.

It may sound a little sad. You have to say that we don't have good things, but the same thing, why do you have to make a toss to be recognized?

But this is impossible. Of course, Qi Lei also wanted to be like later generations. He could express whatever he wanted to express, and everyone understood and wanted to listen.

But, these days, he just can't do it!

Because these things are not for those who believe in it, but for those who don't believe in it.

Is it a bit of a twist? In fact, the reason is very simple, and it still involves the [semantic space] in communication.

The same sentence, the same meaning to be expressed, in a different environment, the communication effect is completely different.

It's like, if Qi Lei directly taught the big class of communication, he could only teach it to these major students of communication, they are willing to believe Qi Lei.

And if Qi Lei wants to tell ordinary people, people who don't understand communication and don't pay attention to communication, he will directly talk about concepts and cases, let alone believe, it is a problem if he can't listen.

Therefore, we must change the way and change the scene.

If concepts and expertise are incorporated into the story, that's another story.

In the same way, if these funny videos and beautiful videos are only broadcast in China, then their meaning is limited to funny and beautiful women.

However, once you travel abroad and add positive comments from foreign netizens, then these things will have additional communication attributes other than funny and beauties - a sense of national identity and cultural adaptability.

Yes, "identity" and "adaptability".

In the past, in the Chinese people's view, everyone believed that our culture is only suitable for Chinese people, and it radiates to the East Asian cultural circle at most. It is inapplicable and incompatible with the West and other ethnic groups.

This is fully reflected in the rumors that it is difficult for Chinese people to integrate into the local cultural circle after they go abroad.

As a result, many people in China naturally believe that Chinese culture and Western culture are in natural opposition, and comparisons naturally arise.

For ordinary people, their comparisons will not go deep into the cultural core, as well as the depth and breadth of philosophical issues, and the level cannot be reached.

The intuitive expression of their comparison is to see who is stronger and who is richer in the country.

In such a comparison, the West is certainly a lot higher than us. From this, the sense of national inferiority also arises.

This kind of incentive cannot be said to be the absolute reason, but at least it is one of the reasons for this phenomenon.

Therefore, what Qi Lei needs to do now is to pass on the direct reaction of ordinary people abroad when they see the bottom-level culture of China, instead of the foreign impression carefully designed by the Western government.

Not to mention how much self-confidence it gives Chinese people, at least let them know that our culture, our jokes and aesthetics are actually the same as theirs.

Our things can also be accepted and liked by the West, and even worshipped, not as many people imagine, Qi Lei is creating false prosperity to fool the Chinese people.

In fact, this is not Qi Lei's original creation. Years later, many domestic video website UP owners are also doing the same, and they are ridiculed by netizens for gold mining.

In fact, don't underestimate these "dung pit gold rush" behaviors, whether intentional or unintentional, their contributions are actually great.

It's not the vanity of some domestic netizens who are satisfied on the surface. They like to watch foreigners praise China.

not that simple!

In fact, those who watch this kind of video are not watching the content itself, and their vanity is only a basic primitive desire, which is understandable.

The real meaning is to let some people at the bottom who have no dialectical energy, or even have no ability, see the advantages and adaptability of their own culture.

And this method, in later generations, is only a very small part of the awakening of our nation's self-confidence.

However, in Qi Lei's era, to awaken those people who couldn't hear it, this was the only means he could think of for the time being.

When those Chinese people who are not confident see foreigners laughing at Chinese videos, praising Chinese people for their humor, and praising Chinese people's creativity, they can have a little bit of confidence and know that we are not worthless, not those cockroaches Inferior people in the mouth of spiders.

————————

On the last day of 2002, it snowed in Seattle.

Qi Lei, Brother Xiao Ma, and Uncle Geng stood in front of the window of the Sanshi headquarters building, listening to the employees downstairs cheering each other Happy New Year, with an indescribable feeling.

They should be happy, because under this exotic sky and in this building, they have overcome difficulties one after another, and created one miracle after another.

However, at this extremely rare time, a few people couldn't be happy at all.

homesick!

Uncle Geng thinks about the dumplings made by his wife, and Brother Ma thinks about his office building in Shenzhen, which is not very fancy.

And Qi Lei, miss Xu Xiaoqian, miss Mom and Dad, miss Lao Qin, miss Lao Dong.

"Tomorrow, Uncle Geng and I will fly back." Qi Lei looked at Brother Xiao Ma, "Just keep your eyes on it for a while!"

Brother Ma was silent for a while, then nodded, "Go back, it's enough to have me here!"

Penguin has been completely on the right track, and Three Stones in North America actually has one main business - smart phones.

However, this thing is not like a website, where a little bit of content can create a wave and cause quite a stir.

The smart phone project has a long way to go, and it is far from the time to make a brilliant debut.

Even now, it can't be regarded as the official start of the research and development process, and even the foundation has not been laid.

These things don't need to be watched by Qi Lei every day, just leave it to those professional managers.

On the contrary, in China, there are still a lot of things waiting!

The smart phone project, in North America, is really developing mobile phones, and you can use what you don’t have. However, Byron in China is the most important part of Qi Lei's entire business map.

There are a lot of things over there, really starting from scratch, and he needs more attention.

However, when it comes to using it, it reminds Qi Lei of one thing, so he turned around and called Paulson.

"I told you some time ago, about the Electronics Industry Association, have you done it?"

Paulson was stunned and thought for a long time, "Oh, what about that?" Very disgusted, "Why do you have to join that association? It's useless, and it costs a lot of money. I think now this It's in good shape!"

Qi Lei's brows tensed, and he said, "Did you not operate it at all, or did they not let us in at all?"

"Uh..." Paulson was embarrassed, "Okay!"

With a long sigh, "To be honest, Palace B means that it is best not to join this association. But don't worry, the technology we use and the supply chain we need to cooperate with, Palace B promises that it will not be hindered. This is Enough is enough, isn't it?"

Seeing that Qi Lei didn't speak, and there was still a terrible silence on the other end of the phone, Paulson was a little uneasy.

After a while, he added, "Qi, it's really not that I don't help, the North American Three Stones are not suitable for joining that association, you should understand what I mean."

Qi Lei, "..."

Finally nodded, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Brother Ma asked, "What association? Didn't I hear you mention it?"

Qi Lei shook his head with a wry smile, "If there is a date, but no date, I actually expected this result."

The association Qi Lei wants to join belongs to a North American electronic industry synergy association.

In fact, it's not very useful, but for Qi Lei, it is of great significance.

Mainly, there is a mechanism for the use and sharing of technical patents within the association, which is very important for Chinese enterprises.

If you can join this association, Qi Lei can even bypass some international embargoes and bans and get market quotas for many advanced technologies and equipment.

To put it more bluntly, he would not suffer technical discrimination because he is Chinese.

Great benefits!

However, Qi Lei didn't have any hope.

People's jobs have been changed. Even if North American Three Stones has a major shareholder in Wall Street, Qi Lei's identity as a Chinese shareholder must be considered.

So, being rejected is normal.

He smiled and said, "I originally wanted to make the North American Three Stones take less detours, and use many technologies. Unfortunately, no!"

When everyone heard this, there was no righteous indignation at all, but instead they laughed at Qi Lei's naivety.

Brother Little Ma, "I think it's impossible to think about it with your heels. You actually let Paulson do it?"

"The B palace is to see that the penguins are useful to him now, otherwise the promise will not be given to you!"

Brother Ma is a little floating, his penguins are really important! A long way to go wow!

And Wu Ning...

Wu Ning frowned, "Is this just obstruction from Palace B?"

Wu Ning thinks, it's not that simple, right?

"An application for membership of an association won't disturb Palace B, right?"

Qi Lei smiled even more, "Do you still need to think about it? It must be Bill and Intel who are playing tricks."

Those companies are all major members of that association.

When Wu Ning heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Lei, "These grandsons have caused us a lot of trouble, so forget it?"

Qi Lei didn't speak, but looked at the heavy snow outside the window.

After a while, "I can't just forget about it!"

Wu Ning, "Fuck him!"

Qi Lei, "Fuck him!!"

……

The next day, before Qi Lei got on the plane, North American Three Stones suddenly released a concept map, a concept map of a smartphone.

The phone on the picture, just as Qi Lei described at Stanford last year:

It is 158 mm long, 73 mm wide, and only 8.8 mm thick.

It is square and upright, with a sense of simplicity.

Sanshi even gave this design style a super trendy name - light luxury.

Large screen, colorful! !

Especially the 26-key physical keyboard, the design is also very beautiful.

Yes, with physical buttons.

Anyway, as soon as this concept map comes out, what Nokia, Motorola, or BlackBerry, in this era, absolutely kills all of them in seconds, ahead of the concept.

Once it was released, it caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

Netizens are going crazy.

"Oh!! Oh my God! It's so cool!"

"When will it be on the market? I need a phone like this!"

"This is the most perfect mobile phone, no one!"

"@Microsoft, @Apple, @Nokia, @BlackBerry, did you see it? This is called a mobile phone! Hurry up and learn it!?"

Paulson didn't even know about the concept map of Sanshi, so he went to the New York office, turned on the computer, and only reacted after seeing the overwhelming reports and comments.

Seeing the incomparably cool concept map, especially the large physical keyboard below, Paulson's eyes were about to pop out.

"What did this **** do!?"

A phone call was taken, "Qi, you bastard! Didn't you say there is no physical keyboard!? Why did we change our design!!?"

"Why!!? Why change that perfect plan into something so stupid!?"

Well, netizens think that the conceptual design of the ceiling is a **** in Paulson's eyes.

Because he has seen Sanshi's design of a smartphone, it is a real work of art.

There are no physical buttons, and the lines are more beautiful than this. Let Paulson fall in love with it after seeing it once, and even extreme must be created.

Yes, despite the difficulties, it must be created.

In Paulson's eyes, apart from that design, the rest is not a mobile phone.

What is this? Shit like thing!

"Qi, I warn you, don't change my smartphone!"

Paulson was going crazy, but Qi Lei on the opposite side was very calm and was about to go to the airport.

"I haven't changed it!"

Paulson's eyes were bloodshot, "No change!? What is this?"

Qi Lei, "Concept map, I didn't say it was the final design!"

Paulson, "..."

No... No? Then what did you send it out for?

Qi Lei, "As the father of smartphones, I just show our dear colleagues what a smartphone is, so that they will no longer be confused and have a clear design direction!"

I puff! !

Paulson came out with a mouthful of old blood, and his eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets.

"you!!"

"You're too bad, aren't you? Isn't this deceiving?"

Qi Lei's expression turned pale, "This is not like what a treacherous capitalist said."

Paulson, "..."

alright, you win!

Gritting his teeth, "You are much more treacherous than me!"

On the other side, at Microsoft headquarters, Bill is roaring at the vice president of the smartphone project ~www.readwn.com~ like a tyrant.

"Fire me the industrial design team, they will only make garbage!!"

He tapped the big head monitor hard, "Look at it! Look at it! Sanshi's design concept is already ahead of us by too much, I need you to catch up!!"

The vice president was in a cold sweat and glanced at the big head monitor.

I have to admit that Sanshi's design is really beautiful.

However, is this plan feasible? Too thin and too hard.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with it!

Isn't that physical keyboard not very ergonomic? The keys are too dense, easy to touch by mistake, and too small.

However, Bill has a different view, "That's right! Only by discovering the shortcomings of Sanshi, can we go beyond this direction and make a better smartphone than them!"

……

Microsoft has vowed to make physical buttons better than three stones.

Of course, Nokia, Motorola, and BlackBerry also think so.

Squeeze physical buttons.

As for Sanshi's original buttonless solution, I never thought about it.

Too difficult, resistive screens are not allowed.

"Small!" Qi Lei sneered in the car, "Trick me?"

Don't think about anyone!
