Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil. The weather was still good in Yangcheng, but it started to rain when we arrived in Shanghai.

Fortunately, the rain was not heavy and it did not affect the takeoff and landing of the plane.

"Boss, we're here."

His mind was groggy when he boarded the plane, and he started to fall asleep after the plane entered the stratosphere. He was not sleeping soundly, so Zhao Lei woke him up.

"Oh, okay." Zhang Xuan looked outside, rubbed his temples, and began to clean himself up.

When getting off the plane, Zhang Xuan looked around and asked Zhao Lei: "Do you think the Shanghai stock market has changed much?"

Zhao Lei cherishes words like gold, "big."

Well, when encountering such an unattractive piece of wood, the old man who wanted to talk to someone on a whim suddenly shut up in frustration.

When he was about to walk out of the airport, Zhang Xuan felt vaguely that someone was observing him on the right side. He turned his head and looked over and found that it was an old acquaintance, Lin Sisi.

Seeing Zhang Xuan looking over, Lin Sisi smiled and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Zhang Xuan."

Zhang Xuan smiled and asked politely: "Are you here to pick up the plane? Or are you going somewhere else?"

Lin Sisi blinked and said, "Pick up the plane, I'll pick up Huihui."

Zhang Xuan subconsciously stopped and asked, "Wen Hui went abroad?"

Lin Sisi said: "Yes, Huihui, aunt and my mother came back from Spain today."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zhang Xuan felt that when the woman in front of him said the word "Hui Hui", there was a different meaning in her eyes.

Zhang Xuan asked again: "Are you coming back from the piano performance?"

Lin Sisi said: "Yes, I also included piano music at the same time."

When he heard the piano music was included, he thought of Wen Hui's statement that she was preparing to publish a piano album, and couldn't help but ask: "Did the recording of Wen Hui's piano album go smoothly?"

Lin Sisi said slyly: "I don't know about this. I've been busy recently and forgot to ask. Why don't you ask her in person? Huihui will be here in less than half an hour."

After looking at the woman from head to toe, Zhang Xuan was sure of one thing: his feelings for Wen Hui most likely were not hidden from her.

This, this is embarrassing.

Because of the partnership to open a music store, Lin Sisi was directly in contact with the two actors, and they called each other just five minutes apart to exchange information. Judging from the situation, the two of them seemed to have risen from initial partners to good friends.

In fact, this is not surprising. After all, Du Shuangling is Zhang Xuan's real girlfriend, and they have been together for many years. With Zhang Xuan's status, Lin Sisi, who has learned sophistication in society, will definitely take the initiative to manage this relationship.

But, what the hell is this?

Zhang Xuan was a little depressed, secretly thinking that Wen Hui made a bad move at the end, why did he bring two actors together to open a piano store?

But then he felt relieved when he thought about Wen Hui's aloof attitude towards him.

Lin Sisi seemed to have guessed some of his thoughts and asked enthusiastically: "Are you busy? How about having lunch together?"

Zhang Xuan asked: "You won't pick up anyone anymore?"

Lin Sisi smiled and said: "Take it, pick up Huihui and eat together. You are classmates and friends, so we just take the opportunity to get together."

Zhang Xuan: "."

If Wen Yu and Zhou Rong were not there, Zhang Xuan would be happy to meet Wen Hui and would be willing to wait.

But there are elders here, so forget it.

After getting along with each other for these years, he has developed a deep hatred for the high intelligence of the women around him. If Wen Yu and Zhou Rong are not good enough, they can figure out the little Jiujiu in their hearts, and that would not be fun.

A woman's heart is on edge, and her intuition is often so accurate that it makes people's hearts tremble, so it's better to stay away for the time being.

Thinking like this, Zhang Xuan glanced at Li Mei, who was already waiting in front of him, and said, "No, next time, I have to go to the company for a meeting."

Lin Sisi half-turned around and followed his line of sight to see Li Mei. She immediately understood that she knew Li Mei. He was the general manager of Intime Technology. He often appeared on major TV news and newspapers in Shanghai. He was a member of all levels in Shanghai. The boss's guest.

Looking away from Li Mei, Lin Sisi stopped teasing him and talked about one thing: "Boss Zhang, do you have any extra shops on the first floor of Yintai Mall?"

Zhang Xuan asked: "Are you interested in the shops in Yintai Mall?"

Lin Sisi said truthfully: "Yintai Mall is currently the most prosperous place in Shanghai, with a huge flow of people. Customers in the mall range from high to low, and have all kinds of tastes. It is very suitable for a music store to shop there."

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll ask Xu Shengli first to see if there are any vacant shops, and I'll contact you later."

This was what she was waiting for. Lin Sisi smiled like smoke, shook the phone in her hand and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your call. If it happens, I'll treat you to dinner then and thank you very much."

Lin Sisi emphasized the word "thank you" more strongly. She believed that the outstanding man in front of her could understand what it meant.

Ouch

They're all fucking human beings.

If you drag Wenhui out, how can I refuse you? It seems that this shop will be successful even if it doesn't work.

Grandma is a bitch, Zhang Xuan cursed in his heart, exchanged mobile phone numbers with Lin Sisi and walked over to Li Mei.

"I kept you waiting for a long time." Zhang Xuan said apologetically.

Li Mei looked at Lin Sisi and teased: "Has your scope of hobbies expanded? But I have to tell you that this time you are not as discerning as before."

Where is this? The old man was a bit dumbfounded: "Is he so bad in your eyes?"

Li Mei glanced at Lin Sisi's retreating back again: "It's not bad, it's even a little good-looking, but compared with your confidante, it's still a bit inferior."

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "You seem to know everyone around me."

Li Mei smiled: "Not to mention acknowledging everything, but we are still close to each other. Mi Jian looks like the person in the painting, with a natural grace that makes me, a woman, unable to feel any jealousy after seeing it. Wen Hui is equally stunning, with a very mellow temperament." Comfortable."

Zhang Xuan fainted, "Okay, okay, I said okay, Lin Sisi is Wenhui's cousin, dear."

Li Mei suddenly realized: "So that's the case. No wonder our great writers are willing to put down their dignity to please."

Zhang Xuan was afraid: "Stop, pay attention to your words, you are trying to please someone too much."

Li Mei smiled and stopped teasing him.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Xuan asked: "It's rare to see you in such a good mood. It seems that our new mobile phone makes you very satisfied?"

Li Mei sat down next to him, "I am indeed very satisfied. We have conducted a detailed data comparison with Nokia 8110. Various indicators are good and bad, but overall they are tied."

At this point, she sighed from the bottom of her heart: "That's Nokia. I'm really satisfied."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan felt itchy in his heart, "When do you plan to go public?"

Li Mei replied: "It's hard to say. We've only produced a prototype now, and we're still some way away from large-scale mass production.

Don't worry, in order to seize the market with Nokia, I plan to stay in the company for food and accommodation, and strive to officially launch it around the National Day. "

We haven't seen each other for a while. Li Mei has changed a lot. Every word she speaks makes Zhang Xuan's blood boil. This is a long-lost feeling.

The motorcade drove forward for a while, and Li Mei suddenly remembered to ask: "You have been traveling all day, you must be hungry, right? Do you want to eat first?"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "After what you said, do you think I can still eat well? Hurry back to the company, I can't wait to see what the mobile phone you talk about looks like."

Li Mei said confidently: "That's okay."

Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at the industrial park from the airport. As soon as they got off the car, Zhang Xuan and Li Mei hurried to the mobile phone R\u0026D center.

"boss Zhang."

"boss Zhang."

"."

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Zhang Xuan almost froze with laughter after receiving greetings along the way.

Hu Yicheng lost a lot of weight and had a stubble of hair and beard, but his eyes were particularly bright and energetic. He showed Zhang Xuan the new prototype:

"Mr. Zhang, the entire phone of ours is made of frosted plastic material. The casing is beautiful and not easy to be stained with fingerprints and oil. It adopts a sliding design, with a hang-up function when sliding up and an answering function when sliding down, and a built-in antenna. .”

Zhang Xuan is very satisfied with the phone casing, which is one of the few suggestions he made on this prototype. Rather than saying it is a suggestion, in fact it is better to say that it copies the shape of the later Sony Ericsson w595c mobile phone.

No way, these days Nokia mobile phones have great functions and good quality, but the sameness in appearance is really disappointing.

The Sony Ericsson w595c was different. The shape of this mobile phone was very beautiful, which impressed him very deeply.

Speaking of built-in antennas, in this era of external antennas, Scorpion is unique. It makes the phone look more coordinated and natural, and the appearance is more rounded and refined. It is full of high technology, which is a big gimmick and selling point.

Hu Yicheng continued to demonstrate the mobile phone: "We have set up 5 ringtones, three of which are single tone ringtones and two polyphonic ringtones."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan, whose memory was vague, couldn't help but ask Li Mei: "Does Nokia 8110 have polyphonic ringtones?"

Li Mei said: "No, not only Nokia 8110 only has single-tone ringtones, but all mobile phones on the market now only have single-tone ringtones. This is one of our innovations."

Zhang Xuan nodded, undoubtedly this was another big selling point to the outside world.

Hu Yicheng continued: "This is a game in memory. There are three games: Snake, Entertainment Puzzle and Tetris."

This Zhang Xuan has some impression that the Nokia 8110 seems to be a game like snake and entertainment functions.

After spending half an hour listening to Hu Yicheng's introduction of all functions and features, Zhang Xuan had a general understanding of infrared value-added services, and then asked: "How many models do you plan to launch?"

Li Mei took over the conversation: "This is a sliding cover prototype now, and we will launch straight models and clamshell models in the future according to market demand. The color has also been decided to adopt your suggestions, and is available in four varieties: dark blue, white, pink and black."

Zhang Xuan took the prototype, looked it over in person, and asked a key question: "How much is the price?"

Li Mei replied: "We are positioning this prototype as a high-end machine, and the price is initially set at around 12,000 yuan."

Zhang Xuan agreed after hearing this. Intime mobile phones now have PHS, a powerful money-making tool, and they are not short of money. Naturally, they do not want to go into the low-end mobile phone market.

Only by targeting the high-end market from the beginning can the overall image of Intime Mobile be improved and take root in the minds of customers from the very beginning.

From now on, when everyone mentions Intime mobile phones, they will automatically think: Oh, Intime mobile phones, that is a high-end brand!

Everyone has a habit of thinking. If you are a low-end machine maker, it will be extremely difficult if you want to move towards high-end machines later.

Because the first impression everyone gives you is that of a low-end phone. If a very expensive phone is suddenly launched, consumers will definitely not be able to accept it. They will say, if I spend so much money, wouldn’t it be better to buy another brand? ?

After listening to the reports of Li Mei and Hu Yicheng, Zhang Xuan convened a top-secret meeting with his core confidants.

At the meeting, he put forward three suggestions: "Compared with mobile phones on the market, our mobile phones have richer functions. But we cannot be complacent, it is not enough.

In the next direction, I hope you will put more effort into the camera function and music function of your mobile phone. If our mobile phones can be equipped with these two functions first, then we can also compete for Nokia's No. 1 throne. "

Then, Zhang Xuan gave a detailed description of the camera function and music function of the mobile phone based on the experience of later generations. These fresh tricks and novel definitions stunned Hu Yicheng.

At this moment, this talented top student studying in the United States couldn't help but think: No wonder he has achieved such great achievements at a young age, no wonder he is the boss, no wonder he is just a part-time worker, the gap in product thinking is so big, it's like one day. land.

Zhang Xuan’s second suggestion was focused on Li Mei, asking her to pay close attention to Apple’s latest developments and layout, and telling her clearly: “In which direction this company is going, we cannot fall behind; what innovative technologies does this company have? , we have to keep up."

Li Mei was a little confused. Isn't the mobile phone market dominated by Nokia and Motorola now? Samsung, Sony and Ericsson are also giants that are closing in behind. Domestic companies like Bird, Panda and ZTE are also making mobile phones. Why are they paying attention to Apple?

Zhang Xuan didn't explain much, just said lightly: "Just listen to me."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Li Mei did not refute again. After all, she had witnessed too many miracles along the way and she still believed in him this time.

Zhang Xuan tapped his fingers on the table and said: "The third suggestion is that many companies are developing PM3. This project is a hot topic. I am very optimistic about its prospects. Please keep up."

Li Mei answered with a smile: "I have been paying attention to the MP3 project for a long time. I didn't expect you to notice it too, and I plan to report it to you."

Zhang Xuan nodded, and finally added: "We Chinese, especially many successful people, seem to prefer gold. My idea is to add gold to the original four colors of mobile phones."

Li Mei and a senior executive looked at each other for a short meeting, and finally responded: "Okay, we will start to conduct market research, and if feasible, we will launch a small part to test the water."

Although Zhang Xuan knew that Jin Jin would definitely succeed, he recognized Li Mei's attitude, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Coming out of the conference room, Zhang Xuan told Li Mei a crucial thing: "I have a feeling that this phone will be a big seller in the market, and then there will be all kinds of monsters and ghosts poaching people.

In order to retain these talents, you have to fight attack with attack. Regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign, you have to leave an image that is not easy to mess with for major mobile phone manufacturers, and poach good talents when you encounter them.

Of course, this is just a digression. The key is to bundle interests and keep these people on our tank. "

Li Mei understood immediately: "Are you planning to provide equity incentives?"

Zhang Xuan said seriously: "This is a step that must be taken. You can disclose it appropriately in private. When the results are achieved, I will not treat any meritorious officials badly."

Li Mei said yes, but didn't ask him how many shares he would give as incentives?

After all, with the current size of Intime Technology, the speed at which PHS can collect money, and the future prospects of Intime mobile phones, any number after the decimal point is a huge amount of wealth, and the benefits are exciting. No one will be fooled easily. Walk.

The two had a working meal in the company cafeteria. Zhang Xuan asked: "Where is Fan Fangli? Why didn't I see her?"

Li Mei replied: "She is in Nanchang and is taking command there."

Zhang Xuan asked: "How is the PHS business going over there? Is it going well?"

Li Mei said: "With the accumulation of experience in Yuhang, Shanghai and Guangdong Province, the company's PHS business and technology are now mature. Apart from being a little acclimatized at the beginning, they are now slowly adapting and the market has entered. Our rhythm.”

"That's good."

After eating, Li Mei asked: "It's getting late. Are you going to rest at the company tonight, or are you going home?"

Zhang Xuan looked at the darkening sky and said, "Go home and take me to the Pentagon Square."

"I knew you would choose this way."

"So sure?"

"That's right, it's close to Wenhui."
