Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

Although Chen Xiao felt that the company should keep a low profile, it was absolutely impossible to keep a low profile after the financial report was published.

In China, Yanjing Lianxiang headquarters.

Yang Qing looked at the Forbes report with a very ugly expression on his face.

Once upon a time, Changtian Technology was just a small company that Lianxiang looked down on.

At the beginning, Changtian Technology hoped to cooperate with Lianxiang, but Lianxiang simply ignored them.

But what about now?

In just a few short years, according to Changtian Technology's revenue last year, Changtian Technology can rank 10th in the global top 500, while Lianxiang has just entered the global top 500 and ranked 500th.

In terms of profits, Shenchuan, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, officially surpassed Lenovo in PC sales last year, becoming the number one in Xiaguo, and its revenue reached 872 million meters.

Although Lianxiang sold more computers than Shenchuan last year, but because of the high cost and low profit, the profit was less than 700 million meters.

The size of Changtian Technology has left Lenovo far behind.

Yang Qing's heart is also very clear, according to the current size of the two sides, Lianxiang is not qualified to negotiate any conditions with Changtian Technology.

And at the Nokia headquarters in Finland.

Simpson sighed deeply when he saw Forbes' estimate of Changtian Technology's profits.

Changtian Technology has already left Nokia behind.

In 2007, Nokia's annual sales were 15.7 billion euros (about 21.5 billion meters), and its profit was 2.5 billion euros (about 3.424 billion meters), which is quite different from Changtian Technology.

And now Nokia is worrying about one thing.

Since April 2008, Nokia's sales growth in the United States and Europe has stagnated, and overall sales have also begun to decline.

At present, the marketing department has not found the reason.

In order to restore the decline of Europe and the United States, Nokia is ready to further develop the business of Xiaguo.

The way Nokia thought of was to cooperate with Xia Guo's mobile company to allow Nokia's 3G mobile phones to be connected to the network on a large scale.

However, according to the current 3G service agreement between Changtian Technology and China Mobile.

For any mobile phone to reach a 3G cooperative sales agreement with China Mobile, it must be approved by Changtian Technology.

After all, Changtian Technology has the only intellectual property rights in Xia Guo's 3G technology.

Thinking of this question gives Simpson a headache.

Ollila, the Nokia CEO who walked in, saw Simpson's frowning face, and saw the Forbes Xia Guo enterprise list in Simpson's hands, and knew what Simpson was worried about.

Ollila said very comfortably: "Man, you don't think this report from Xia Guo is true, do you?"

"Forbes is a company that wants money. If you give him enough money, he can even write you as the number one in the world."

Ollila pointed to the relevant text on the report and said: "It is almost universally recognized in the industry that Changtian Technology's finances are absolutely false, and the whole of Changtian Technology has not been listed, and there is no way to accept external supervision and audits. The so-called They can write as much as they want, there is no reference value!”

Simpson smiled awkwardly. He knew that the boss discriminated against Changtian Technology and even the entire Xiaguo company.

Ollila said: "Let's think about how to sell more mobile phones in effect!"

Changzezhou Changtian Technology Headquarters.

Chen Xiao signed his name on the cover of the finalized 2007 financial report, which means that he approved the financial report.

Chen Xiao said to Luo Ning: "It can be disclosed to all subsidiaries, and to the senior management of the group company."

"However, we still have to increase our financial capabilities. Our report will only come out in May, and relevant analysis agencies outside have roughly estimated our last year's revenue and profit in March and April, although it is not completely accurate. But it is also estimated that there are seven, seven, eight, eight."

Luo Ning spread his hands and said, "I have already suggested at the company's high-level meeting to set up a more powerful financial department and audit department, but unfortunately..."

Luo Ning went on to say: "In the beginning, Wen Qi was still in our department. Now you have arranged her to Bird Company, and we are also short of people! Either you ask Wen Qi to help me."

What Luo Ning said was true.

Chen Xiao snorted and said, "We'll talk about this later."

There is a real shortage of finances right now.

Changtian Technology Group is different from other companies.

Other group companies can entrust their financial affairs to third parties, such as hiring a firm to do financial reporting, or to complete annual audits within the group and its subsidiaries.

But Changtian Technology can't.

Because there are too many secrets in the internal design of Changtian Technology, Chen Xiao does not want these things to be seen by third-party companies.

Therefore, it is imperative to expand the financial department and establish an audit department.

The key is the talent issue!

Both sectors need the people they trust the most.

Chen Xiao thought of Wen Qi again.

no!

The mobile phone business department is the top priority of Changtian Technology in the future, and Wenqi cannot move.

Luo Ning is now the head of the financial department, but relying on Luo Ning alone is not enough.

Chen Xiao thought of Shen Wei again.

Shen Wei, Shen Wei!

Chen Xiao was a little speechless. If Shen Wei could come to the company, based on Shen Wei's ability and work experience, there would be absolutely no problem!

But this little girl has to be a drifter.

And based on Chen Xiao's understanding of Shen Wei's character, Shen Wei will definitely not change jobs until the project at the Olympic venues is completed.

The matter of inviting Shen Wei to Changtian Technology can only be discussed in the Olympic Games.

The bamboos and radishes in Chen Xiao's office grew very strong, and the sunlight shone on the plants through the blinds, giving the office more life.

Luo Ning was wearing a professional attire with a bumpy figure.

Chen Xiao asked, "Let's cash out last year's dividends for everyone before the end of May."

The salary system of Changtian Technology is divided into five parts, basic salary + job salary + allowance (overtime, etc.) + year-end performance + employee shareholding dividend.

The first three parts are issued on a monthly basis, the year-end performance will be in place before the Spring Festival, and the dividends will be in place after the annual report is released.

Luo Ning was very happy and said, "I'll do it now!"

Chen Xiao asked again, "How will the money be used for the dividend this time?"

For Chen Xiao, money is basically a number, but for many employees of Changtian Technology, it is still very useful.

Speaking of this question, Luo Ning got excited and said, "I'm going to sell the house in Jiangzhou and replace it with a big villa!"

Luo Ning has settled down in Jiangzhou. Although she now runs between Jiangzhou and Changzezhou, she was born in Jiangzhou and started a new stage of her life in Jiangzhou, so she has a lot of affection for this city.

Chen Xiao jokingly said, "For the housewarming, be sure to invite me."

Luo Ning smiled and said: "Of course, I have to wait for the boss to give me a big red envelope!"

Chen Xiao laughed.

At this time, the door of the office rang, and Wang Xiang was waiting outside.

Holding a thick pile of documents in his hand, Wang Xiang said, "Mr. Chen, the smartphone plan jointly designed by Bird Mobile, the Lab on a Chip, and Firefly Technology has passed the technical plan meeting, take a look. "

"The new smartphone is named the Waveguide Hanhai series," said Wang Xiang.

Good things come and go.

Chen Xiao gave out the design drawings and concepts of the smartphone, and handed them over to the laboratory and the waveguide company for polishing.

After more than half a year, the mobile phone was finally designed.

The new phone is named Hanhai, and the LOGO is iVast in English except for Chinese and the vast ocean icon.

Taking the Chinese name of Hanhai, the implication is that the smartphone is a great platform and medium, which can lead users to roam the ocean of information and data and open a new era of smartphones.

In the design of mobile phones, there is still a difficulty.

That is, is Xiaoying assistant going to appear?

Chen Xiao's opinion is that Xiaoying voice assistant must appear.

In this way, the smart phone has a real intelligent performance.

However, in the actual research and development process, the mobile phone could not meet Chen Xiao's requirements.

The most fundamental reason is that the chip cannot meet Chen Xiao's requirements.

The size of the mobile phone chip is much smaller than that of the desktop computer, and the performance is of course castrated.

In this way, running Xiaoying is very tasteless, because Xiaoying needs to call a lot of resources of the chip.

Even if the mobile version of Firefly OS is very good, without any redundant data or running in the background, running Xiaoying will freeze.

This is the technical bottleneck.

Therefore, Chen Xiao still respected the concept of the design team and cut off Xiaoying's assistant first.

In the future, the chip technology will become more mature, and then the assistant will be used.

In this way, compared with the smartphone that uses Changtian Technology's independent research and development of chips and hardware devices in the Firefly os mobile version, compared with Apple, which is becoming more and more popular on the market, and the first Android phone that will be interviewed in October this year. Advantage?

Chen Xiao needs to think carefully about this.

Hanhai mobile phone, the style and signal of the mobile phone do not need too much.

But make sure every phone is a classic!

Moreover, the mobile phone must have its own test, which cannot be popularized, and must have a subversive design concept.

Only in this way can this series of mobile phones have a foothold in the brutal competition.

And from Chen Xiao's heart, he very much agrees with the saying that good things are hard to come by.

2007 was the first year of the Apple mobile phone, and 2008 was the first year of the Android phone.

Since then, there have been many Android brands such as HTC (Dopod), Motorola, Coolpad, LeTV, Lenovo Lephone, etc. Most of the brands have been annihilated in the long river of history.

So Chen Xiao did not rush to launch the mobile phone immediately, and he must take every step, one step at a time.

Chen Xiao said to Wang Xiang: "Let me put the data here first. We will go back to Jiangzhou tomorrow, and let Wen Qi and Wang Yu (the CEO of the hardware company and the head of the chip laboratory) go with us to discuss the design of the mobile phone again."

Due to business reasons, Changtian Technology's Firefly Technology Company is still at the Jiangzhou headquarters.

The design of mobile phones is related to both hardware and software.

The hardware involves chips, storage, communication modules, cameras, etc., and the most important software is the operating system.

So this matter must go to Jiangzhou to decide.

In addition, this time Chen Xiao went to Jiangzhou, the most important thing was to visit his alma mater, Jiangzhou University.

The president of Jiangzhou University, as well as the dean and counselor of Chen Xiao's former department, have called Chen Xiao many times, hoping to talk to Chen Xiao about school-enterprise cooperation.

With the development of society and economy, colleges and universities in economically developed areas such as Yanjing Shanghai Stock Exchange and Yangcheng have strong financial strength and an attractive environment to attract outstanding talents and the best students, and can also cooperate with local high-quality enterprises. , to do research projects.

Therefore, the scale of the school is getting bigger and bigger, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger.

The universities in the mainland are, first of all, far behind the first-tier cities in terms of teacher resources and student resources.

In addition, the state's support is not strong, and there are no excellent enterprises to cooperate with.

And the gap between these first-class companies is also growing.

Jiangzhou University, which is inland, is also facing this problem.

Twenty or thirty years ago, Jiangzhou University was still one of the top ten universities in Xia State.

But with the development of society, it gradually fell behind.

Take last year's college entrance examination scores as an example.

The admission score of Jiangzhou University is more than 10 points lower than that of some ordinary colleges and universities in Shanghai. Colleges and universities are involved.

When students apply for the college entrance examination, they first look at the city where the school is located, and finally look at the actual teaching ability and comprehensive level of the school.

Because after graduating in some developed cities, even if the school is a little short, there are many jobs.

Students may find jobs that are better than those in inner cities.

Jiangzhou University suffers from a disadvantage because it is in an inland city, and Jiangzhou is not a first-tier city.

In this way, whether it is the strength of teachers, the source of students, or the inclination of relevant national scientific research funds, compared with coastal cities or first-tier cities, it is getting worse and worse.

After Jiangzhou University's grade-shifting score line came out last year, the relevant leaders of Jiangzhou University were very anxious.

Because according to this situation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Jiangzhou University is likely to become a second-rate university.

But Jiang Zhou Da was not reconciled.

Jiangzhou University has cultivated excellent students like Chen Xiao (at least Jiangzhou University thinks so), and Jiangzhou can support an excellent enterprise like Changtian Technology. How is it possible that it is worse than some first-line ordinary undergraduates?

Therefore, the leaders of Jiangzhou University decided to cooperate with Changtian Technology as soon as possible, hoping to use the corporate and technological advantages of Changtian Technology to promote the comprehensive strength of Jiangzhou University's teachers, students, scientific research projects, etc.

Therefore, the leaders of Jiangzhou University went out in person, and the dean and counselor of Chen Xiao's former department also came to Changzezhou to meet with Chen Xiao in person. I hope Chen Xiao can consider the cooperation between Changtian Technology and Jiangzhou University. .

Regarding school-enterprise cooperation, Chen Xiao has no opinion at all.

And in terms of student sources, Chen Xiao prefers to use students from Jiangzhou University.

The talents that Changtian Technology needs are not like Yanjing University or Shuimu University. They think they can't afford high-talented students. What they need are those students who may belong to second-class talents, but are very down-to-earth.

Students in this category usually appear at inland colleges like Jiangzhou University.

A statistic is very interesting.

The universities with the highest success rates for postgraduate entrance examinations are those in Nanhe Province.

Why?

Because students in inland cities work harder than students in elite schools.

At the end of May, Chen Xiao and his team took a commercial flight from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Jiangzhou.

Although Chen Xiao had already told him not to greet him, the relevant leaders of Jiangzhou City and the leadership team of Jiangzhou University waited for the plane to land at Jiangzhou Airport early.
