Chapter 875 Method Success Tea (4k)

Fang Zhuo talked to Liu Yingjian, whom he met for the first time, about his views on Hanwang e-readers, and finally there was some flavor of business communication.

"Sit down, Mr. Liu, let's just chat casually. I don't know much about e-readers, so I'm just talking nonsense, and you just listen to it."

Fang Zhuo refilled Liu Yingjian's tea. He took the Hanwang trademark, so he was willing to say some insights about the company. Since the other party was willing to listen, they could continue the conversation.

"Although I still feel a little uncomfortable, I believe in Mr. Fang's vision." Liu Yingjian sat down again. He came here on a whim, but he didn't expect that Mr. Fang also wanted him to return on a whim.

"I understand what Mr. Fang meant. It's not that Hanwang e-readers can't be developed. We can make some money now, but it can't be the core of long-term business."

Liu Yingjian raised his teacup and used tea instead of wine, which was a formal request: "Mr. Fang, have some tea."

"Just now I heard Qiu Tong say that Mr. Liu wants to build a Fortune 500 company." Fang Zhuo talked about the topic in a broader way, "What is the revenue threshold for the Fortune 500 this year? 17 billion US dollars?"

Liu Yingjian nodded, about right.

"Converted into Chinese currency, it's about 127.5 billion in revenue. Well, let's set a deadline. We have to invest 15 years of our lives to build such a company. Even if the annual growth rate is 50%, how much revenue should we make in the first year?" Fang Zhuo asked a question.

Liu Qiutong next to him calculated for a while and answered: "About 420 million."

Fang Zhuo looked at Liu Yingjian and asked uncertainly: "Hanwang's revenue should be about this number?"

Liu Yingjian "coughed": "There is still a little gap."

Mr. Fang has been working backwards for 15 years to find the Fortune 500, but Hanwang, which has been established for 10 years, is still a little short of the starting point.

Fang Zhuo did not laugh, but sighed: "So, the process of implementing a great goal is so difficult and hard-won. Hanwang has barely stood on the threshold of a great goal. What is needed now is a long-term track that allows the products launched on the market to cover a larger consumer group."

He asked again: "Will e-paper books be such a product?"

Liu Yingjian hesitated. He remembered a word Mr. Fang had just said - narrow audience, which was somewhat overly appropriate.

How many consumer groups can a product like e-paper books penetrate?

"If I were to start a new business today, I would not brag, but mobile phone products based on the Android system would be an area that I would focus on." Fang Zhuo started from the business he was familiar with, "Since Mr. Liu has really used Mars, I must say that the openness of the Android system, whether it is the mobile phone hardware itself or the system software development, will bring many development possibilities."

After hearing this answer, Liu Yingjian pondered: "Mobile phone hardware? Software development?"

He thought again and again: "I believe Mr. Fang's Mars can be successful in China, but Mars will impact the market of Samsung and Nokia, and the remaining share will be a fiercely competitive area for many domestic mobile phones."

It's not that Hanwang doesn't consider it, but that the competition in this market is too fierce.

"3G and smart phones will be a critical point." Fang Zhuo said with certainty, "This is true for both domestic and foreign manufacturers."

Liu Yingjian opened his mouth but didn't say anything. This was a slightly cold judgment from the head of Yike, and the product that executed this judgment was the popular product under his command.

"Of course, I just speak from my own perspective. There are so many Fortune 500 companies, and there are so many directions worth exploring." Fang Zhuo considered that Hanwang had experience in developing fixed-line phones, and thought that changing this track was a challenge, but it was definitely not just in this field.

He casually gave an example: "E-commerce is hot, and it would be good to do vertical fields, for example, to do the last orders of genuine products."

"The fast-moving consumer goods industry will definitely have prospects as the economy develops, especially the spread of the Internet."

"Semiconductors are also...semiconductors are more difficult, but the threshold in the field of materials is relatively low, and the future is not bad."

"Also, the media and social networking industries based on mobile Internet that are bound to be changed are also very promising."

Liu Yingjian was a little numb, and suddenly there was a dazzling array of things.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, my dad is 55!" Sixteen-year-old Liu Qiutong said, "He is slow to accept new things."

"Haha, just chatting, just chatting, I still say the same thing, I am just talking nonsense, you just listen to it. Mr. Liu came to make friends today, I was very excited, and I talked too much about business in general. In fact, if you really want to succeed, you have to look at the team, budget, execution, courage and luck." Fang Zhuo laughed.

Liu Yingjian "gulped" half a cup of tea, did not listen to it, and kept thinking about what Mr. Fang said.

He is very confident in his own e-reader.

But this confidence in front of Mr. Fang...

When a person has been the richest man in the mainland for many years and recently launched a hot mobile phone product that caught a group of international mobile phone manufacturers off guard... It is hard not to be affected by his confidence.

Liu Yingjian didn't know if this was Mr. Fang's aura, but he was indeed shaken about the future of e-readers, and...

The competition node between 3G and smart phones.

The open Android system.

Competitors who are still on the original track.

Liu Yingjian is still more interested in the business that Hanwang has done before, and he also thinks that the business that Mr. Fang is doing must be the most promising.

He said slowly: "Mars is really easy to use. I'm really looking forward to its performance in China. Mr. Fang, I haven't studied the prospects of Android system much before, but you must consider it carefully if you can open source it." Passed.”

"Our performance domestically this year should be good." Fang Zhuo said easily.

Liu Yingjian sensed Mr. Fang's confidence and asked tentatively: "Then we at Hanwang will establish Android products first and try the mobile phone field again?"

"Mr. Liu is willing to give it a try, and I definitely welcome it. After all, Yike itself is a shareholder of the Android company, and he hopes to see more mobile phone manufacturers using this system." Fang Zhuo did not hide this motivation, and said with a smile, "It just so happens that when Yike launched Mars, it selected a number of domestic suppliers, but how to use them? This can reasonably reduce costs for mobile phones that are not so high-level."

Yike has supported the R&D of several suppliers in China, but has not included it in its own supply chain. Now Hanwang would be really good if it wanted to.

Liu Yingjian immediately realized the value of this kind of introduction. Mr. Fang not only said it verbally, but was also really willing to help provide resources, which would normally be extremely difficult to provide.

It must be difficult for Yike to build the first Android phone from scratch. Sharing the resources based on this difficulty will save many things.

If Hanwang can really successfully enter the mobile phone market, is this i-phone trademark gift worth it?

It's simply worth it.

Liu Yingjian thought silently and asked a lot of Mars-related questions very sincerely.

Fang Zhuo did not hide his secrets and was very happy to see the emergence of entry-level models in China. At the same time, he did not hide that Yike may also have research and development plans for similar entry-level models in the future.

The mobile phone market is huge and can accommodate the success of more manufacturers.

Liu Yingjian benefited a lot from listening to Fang Zhuo's experience, even if it was just an idea for a project.

At noon, Fang Zhuo entertained Mr. Liu and his son, who came to help out for free. During the dinner, they still talked about future development trends.

However, when he heard that King Han had plans to buy a new office space... he had to give him a small New Year's gift in addition to business exchanges.

"Mr. Liu, don't buy real estate this year. The crisis in the U.S. financial market is getting worse, which is likely to cause greater fluctuations."

"If the company has real estate needs, then it will wait and see for a while. It will be more cost-effective to buy in the future."

Fang Zhuo urged Liu Yingjian to make decisions in the real estate field.

Liu Yingjian accepted this faster than the e-book and mobile phone business. Mr. Fang is often in the United States and must have a more direct feel for the market. Anyway, he is between buying and not buying, so just wait and see.

When Fang Zhuo heard Mr. Liu's hesitant answer, he finally felt relieved because he had accepted the trademark transfer for no reason.

There is always a risk of failure in the mobile phone business, but now the decision to postpone the purchase of real estate has actually saved a lot of money immediately.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo personally sent Liu and his son away, ending the process of owning the domestic "i-phone" trademark.

Liu Yingjian and Liu Qiutong waved goodbye to Mr. Fang and boarded the car to go home.

Liu Qiutong saw that his father had been lost in thought since he got in the car. After a while, he asked a question: "Dad, are we here to ask Mr. Fang for advice on how to become a Fortune 500 family?"

Liu Yingjian was stunned. Oh, right, today's theme is not this. I am just here to do a favor and make friends. How to talk about how to run a business.

He shook his head and did not answer the question directly. He said in a daze: "How about the Android phone? This is something that can be verified soon."

Liu Qiutong pointed out a point that is easier to verify: "Dad, the same goes for housing prices."

Liu Yingjian nodded. He could see that Mr. Fang wanted to prevent himself from suffering a loss in transferring the trademark, which was very interesting in itself.

Later, while the head of Hanwang asked the company to carefully study the information about the Android system, he stylishly registered a Weibo account and posted a photo of him having tea with Mr. Fang today.

Liu Yingjian's account is a new one, and he simply writes the words "New Year's tea" in text.

However, somehow, Wang Xing, the president of Sina, saw this photo and reposted it. He wrote enthusiastically: "I heard that Hanwang is going to transfer the i-phone trademark. It seems that a Chinese Buffett-style tea tasting will solve the problem." problem."

Liu Yingjian saw the comment from Wang Xing. He liked it very much, but corrected it and said, "No, it's not Buffett's style, it's Mr. Fang's morning tea."

Wang Xing used a "come on duck" expression derived from Mr. Fang and boasted: "Yes, it is Mr. Fang's morning tea! After drinking Mr. Fang's tea, you are not far from success. This is the way to success tea!"

Fang Zhuo only saw the two people's slightly disgusting interaction and compliments after a day. He had no emotional fluctuations in the so-called "Buffett style". Instead, he couldn't help but be a little surprised after curiously looking through Wang Xing's past Weibo content.

This king star has been very active on social platforms since he presided over the Weibo business. He has commented on Penguin Dating Network, e-commerce Taobao, and portal websites. His words are sharp and somewhat unscrupulous.

"This big mouth needs to be tempered." Fang Zhuo briefly made a small request when chatting with Sina President Wang Yan about this year's Olympic business.

"Since Weibo has developed well, he is indeed quite excited." Wang Yan can understand Wang Xing's state. On the one hand, Penguin Dating Network is gradually falling into trouble, and on the other hand, the newly established Weibo business is developing rapidly. Of course, he needs to show his presence. "I will talk to him seriously."

Wang Yan mentioned another thing: "Oh, yes, Mr. Fang, we need someone from Sina to participate in the Olympic torch relay. You are asked to show up."

"No need." Fang Zhuo refused calmly.

"Ah? Mr. Fang, this..." Wang Yan was very surprised. This matter is not easy to push.

"Yike has also been named by the leader, Bingxin has also been named, and the medical department has also been named. I am too busy to do it, so I can only represent Bingxin." Fang Zhuo gave the reason.

This year's Olympic torch relay is very symbolic.

Wang Yan: "..."

Is the difference between closeness and distance so obvious?

He said helplessly: "Then I will represent Sina."

Wang Yan asked curiously: "Who will take on such a task at Yike?"

"It has not been decided yet. President Su recommended President Yu, and President Yu thinks President Su is more suitable." Fang Zhuo replied calmly.

Wang Yan's curiosity was quickly satisfied.

Just when Fang Zhuo was asking about the Olympic affairs that needed to be resolved, including Yike, the latest news about Zhang Rujing came from the United States again. The reporter won the lawsuit in court.

This is only the preliminary result of the court, but it is very likely to affect the key judgment of ITC.

And, this news that cannot be concealed also affected the negotiation between SMIC and Datang Telecom.

On February 13, Fang Zhuo received a call from Dr. Jiang Shangzhou.

"President Fang, I'm afraid I have to borrow you."

Fang Zhuo had promised Dr. Jiang a long time ago. After caring about the other party's condition being initially controlled, he asked very straightforwardly: "How to use it?"

"First move it to Datang, then move it to the shareholders, and you may have to show up." Jiang Shangzhou was not polite this time.

"Okay, I'll be in Shanghai until March. I may have to fly to the United States later, but I can fly back at any time." Fang Zhuo described the schedule. Apple's new phone launch conference was moved forward to March this year, so this matter needs attention.

Jiang Shangzhou thanked Mr. Fang and thought about how to make good use of Mr. Fang's notoriety.

…

After the small movement in the Chinese market related to the Apple mobile phone trademark was vaguely confirmed, the news quickly spread to the US headquarters.

"Yi Ke got the i-phone trademark from Hanwang."

Jobs was surprised: "How much did Yi Ke pay?"

"It is said that Hanwang transferred it for free, Yi Ke didn't spend any money."

Jobs: "..."

After a long time, the director who reported the news saw that Jobs didn't speak, and couldn't help asking: "Steve, what are you thinking? We want to contact Yi Ke, right? Is it going to hold us back in this place?"

Jobs shook his head slightly: "I'm wondering if Yi Ke's Mars is registered in China, Japan, or South Korea."

The director unexpectedly replied: "We have checked everything, and they are all registered."

"Yi Ke wants us to talk to it." Jobs felt that this detail was particularly annoying, "Then talk, invite him to come, I will talk to him again in person."

Soon, the invitation was responded to.

Fang Zhuo, who was unable to leave recently, sincerely invited Jobs to come to Shanghai for tea.

Jobs originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that there were operators with him, for the success of the iPhone, he agreed to the trip to Shanghai and wanted to drink oriental tea with Fang Zhuo.

I had three drinks in a row... I will stay in seclusion and write updates tomorrow.
