【040】Engineering machine

Fang Chang'an called Shen Mo in advance and knew that their family had just arrived at a relatively empty house today, but after entering the door, there were still guests in Shen Mo's house.

This is impossible. With Chen Chengli’s interaction with Shu Mei, or more accurately, status, it is basically impossible for the family to be free during the Chinese New Year when human relationships are most frequent and lively.

Just like his own family has always been full of guests in the past two years, relatives and friends who have not been around for a long time have been very enthusiastic in recent years and pay special attention to etiquette.

"This is Momo's usual name, called Fang Chang'an. He just started his business last year and made a mobile phone."

"These are both my old friends. This one is taller, Zhang, who is in the decoration industry. This one looks more fierce and has Tong. Maybe you will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. He sells mobile phones."

Chen Chengli introduced Fang Chang'an with a smile.

"Hello Uncle Zhang, hello Uncle Tong." Fang Changan also greeted with a smile.

The visitor was two middle-aged men. The one who was originally a big boy with a student appearance was not very concerned. He just thought it was a classmate of Miss Shen's family or a junior of Chen Chengli. This was right, but Chen Chengli introduced it solemnly, and both of them were inevitably a little surprised.

He responded to Fang Chang'an's greetings politely, and said to the middle-aged man who looked a bit like a mixed society: "It's not easy to choose to start a business by making a mobile phone. What are you doing? Do you make your own mobile phone?"

Fang Changan sat down on the sofa next to Shen Mo, nodded and smiled, "Yes, try it anyway."

"That's amazing."

Mr. Zhang also supported him, but obviously he didn't have much interest.

Because of his business relationship, Mr. Tong was obviously more enthusiastic and asked again: "When will the shipment be shipped, where will it be sold? If there is any need, I can help."

Tong's name was Tong Qisheng. He said this, but he saw Fang Chang'an sitting down next to Shen Mo so naturally, and he looked very scolded with Chen Chengli and Shu Mei, and he was really ready to help.

In the traditional mobile phone sales system, dealers have a great say. It can even be said that in addition to big brands such as Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung, among the domestic miscellaneous brands, the dealers want to sell which one they want, which one they sell well, because consumers have never heard of it, and it all depends on how the store sells it.

This offline sales model is still there ten years later, spreading all over the motherland. With oppo and vivo as the representative, Xiaomi has gone from being incredible to being insurmountable. Offline strategy mistakes are one of the major reasons. Huawei's rise is also inseparable from its vigorous development layout.

In this era when online mobile phone sales are basically zero, for small brands, the dealer is the father - of course, it must be a big dealer, and an ordinary small shop is a store, and there has never been a say in it.

Fang Changan has just started a business, so it is naturally even more impossible for him to be a big brand. Therefore, even if it depends on Chen Chengli's face, Tong Qisheng would not have any psychological burden if he said "help".

Tong Qisheng works in a chain distribution brand in the top two in the province. He is not as good as the head of the province and region, but he has a certain right to speak and cannot help with big things. He will definitely be able to help with small things.

"Then I'll thank Uncle Tong in advance." Fang Changan was indeed a little surprised and thanked him quickly.

Tong Qisheng is in his forties and has been in the mall for a long time. Observing words and expressions is an instinct to be integrated into his bones. Although Fang Chang'an is grateful, he does not show what he expected and is too calm.

This made Tong Qisheng feel a little unhappy. He thought to himself, a little brat, after reading some books and having some money at home, he went to start a business. It is so easy for you to treat it as a mobile phone? When you beg your grandpa and grandma, you can't get out of your hands, you will know how important the words of labor and capital are!

Chen Chengli did not involve a mobile phone business, but money is a good thing, real estate is a good thing, and connections are even more so. Tong Qisheng is more weak in front of Shen Chengli. Although he is unhappy, he is still willing to help.

But you have to put on your airs and earn enough favors. It is best to wait until this kid asks to come to the door before drying it. It would be more cost-effective to let Chen Chengli open his mouth!

He was very cunning and unhappy, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and said with a smile: "Leave me a phone number and say something if you have something to do."

“Hey.”

Fang Changan is not a real teenage boy. Tong Qisheng's unhappiness flashed by and did not escape his observation, but he could understand it, and after all, he was showing kindness, so he pretended not to know and agreed with a smile.

Tong Qisheng reported a string of numbers, Fang Chang'an saved it, and then reversed it back.

Tong Qisheng had never thought of keeping his number, but after he came back, Chen Chengli was still beside him, so he patiently saved it and asked, "Which Chang'an is it?" to show that he was very concerned.

When Mr. Zhang saw that he was really serious about exchanging contact information with a young man, he felt secretly amused and didn't say much.

Tong Qisheng asked again: "By the way, what's your company's name?"

"The ancient poetry company, the name of the mobile phone is tentatively called the ancient poetry mobile phone, which is the Tang poetry and Song poetry."

"Oh, oh, good name, good name."

Tong Qisheng was very proud of his face and silently complained in his heart: "It turns out that it was named by a child. What is this called? Wenqing!"

The topic quickly changed from this matter. After a while, Fang Chang'an was basically listening. Then Tong Qisheng and the others said goodbye and left, returned to the living room to sit down. Chen Chengli reminded: "I know you want to do online sales, but don't look down on these mobile phone dealers. How much coverage is online sales now? These dealers even have chain stores in the town. The coverage of people and market potential is too great. If you want to grow, you cannot do without physical stores."

Fang Changan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have never dared to underestimate the offline market, but it's too expensive and I can't afford it now. I will be qualified to open up the offline market after making money."

Shu Mei peeled an orange and gave it to Shen Mo, and Shen Mo gave it to Fang Chang'an. Seeing that his father was looking at him, he smiled sweetly and handed it to his father.

Chen Chengli waved his hand with an upset expression and signaled not to eat.

Shu Mei split the two petals in a little amused manner and put them in front of her husband. She smiled and said to Fang Chang'an: "Are you quite confident?"

Fang Changan smiled and said, "It's just a matter of time. Even if the first model cannot be popular, it's enough to allow the company to survive. The Chinese mobile phone market will definitely rise in the era of smartphones. If you see this, you won't lose too badly."

Chen Chengli asked: "I heard from Mo Mo that the phone has been tested?"

"Well, the basic test has been completed, and there are still some problems, but it is not big, and it is being preheated."

“When will it be released?”

“It’s March tentatively.”

Shu Mei asked: "Have you brought your phone here?"

When Shen Mo heard this, he blinked curiously and stared at him. Fang Changan smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, I just took it."

He took out the first batch of engineering machines from his pocket. This was the first time Shen Mo saw him, so he quickly reached out and took it in his hand to look at it.

The thickness of the phone has not dropped, it is 112 mm. Fortunately, it is made of plastic, with curved back, not so thick edges, and the side frame is a bit wide. Fortunately, the 4-inch screen is not big, the front panel only has a screen, a earpiece and three carefully designed touch buttons, which gives people a simple and beautiful overall look.

Not to mention anything else, it is at least better than the first generation of Xiaomi phones, and more than a little bit. If compared at the press conference, it can be called "beating".

Shen Mo looked at the back again, the camera in the upper left corner, there was a flash light at the bottom, and a "ci" logo was printed on the upper middle position, and a line of small characters at the bottom of the back shell: Ancient Ci Mobile

"It's pretty pretty!"

Shen Mo looked over and over, then found the power button on the right side of the phone, pressed it gently, and saw that the screen light up, the iconic green bamboo raindrop wallpaper has a horizontal arrow at the bottom, marked "Slide Unlock".

The white and slender fingertips gently stroked, and a "boom" sounded like a clear spring. When she entered the desktop of the mobile phone, there were not many software. She opened it and couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any software for sending voice?"

"That."

Shen Mo has seen the software of "Lingxi". The icon is a bubble that makes people think of messages at once. It is light green in color and looks very comfortable.

She clicked in and saw a list that had not filled the interface. Below are the three columns of "Message", "Director Book" and "Me". She found a chat list of "Liu Feng" above, clicked in and saw a message sent, and clicked gently.

It was what Fang Chang'an said: "Liu Feng and Liu Feng! You are stupid~~~happy!"

The three of them stared at the Chang'an at the same time.

Fang Changan tried to show an embarrassing and polite smile, "I've been playing with the test, and now there are only a few test machines installed with this software, and I can't find anyone to send it."

Shen Mo didn't care about this and asked excitedly: "How do you send a voice?"

"Here, click, yes, now it is the voice icon. Just press here and you can speak. Just let it go and send it directly. If you don't want to send it, you can cancel the sending by swiping up."

Shen Mo then clicked the voice icon and saw a faint small word prompt with "hold and hold" and pressed it. When he still pressed it, a microphone logo that occupied half of the screen appeared on the mobile phone interface. She said a few times of "hee hee hee" and saw arcs representing volume fluctuations flashing.

She pressed it without moving and carefully slid upwards, and saw the prompt for "cancel sending". At the same time, the microphone logo was fading and it was easy to turn on. The voice I just recorded was indeed not sent out.

"Are there any? I want one too..."

The first time the little girl saw that she could play with her smartphone like this, she was so excited that her parents were still in front of her. She stared at Fang Chang'an with her bright eyes, dragging her little tits to start acting coquettish.

Fang Chang'an was about to get down and said quickly: "When the production line starts there, I'll deliver it to you right away."

Shen Mo also noticed his parents' eyes, blushed a little, but couldn't help but smile with his lips, and a sweet joy appeared in his heart, because neither of his parents made more statements, which meant a certain degree of acquiescence and indulgence.

After Shen Mo read it, Shu Mei also took the phone over. Chen Chengli seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "By the way, I met someone in Shanghai a few years ago and was preparing to start a business. My ideas and ideas were very similar to you, but there was no takeaway and I was about to register, but the name and domain name he thought were deleted by you, and it was called Meituan... Do you want to use it?"

"No, if you want it, I will turn it over to you."

Fang Changan covered up his inner shock and asked again: "Who?"

Shu Mei asked: "Is it the project that Wang Jiang mentioned?"

Chen Chengli nodded and explained to Fang Chang'an with a smile: "I've been starting a business several times. School Net, Fanfu.com, School Net have been fed up, Fanfu was locked up, it seems that he can't open it in a short time. He also paid attention to the groupon model and wanted to build a group buying website... He was looking for an investment, and a friend happened to meet him. He talked about it by the way. He had a lot of ideas. I think he could try it."

Fang Changan smiled and said, "I have heard of this person, and he is indeed very powerful, but takeaway is very important, so the layout of early should be better."

In history, Meituan was just founded and was the first seed investment by Wang Jiang, but Fang Chang'an did not expect that Chen Chengli would be related to this.

In his original idea, Chen Chengli had two choices: either to find a candidate himself and start a new job, or to wait for a similar platform in China to invest early. Relatively speaking, the latter is more secure, but the former is not without opportunities.

The key is that in the subsequent battle of Thousand Regiments, Chen Chengli has financial connections, and he can provide a certain direction of foresight and first-mover advantage. It should not be difficult to compete with the end of the Didi and Uber merger.

However, considering Chen Chengli's personality and objective situation, Fang Chang'an believes that Chen Chengli would prefer the latter, that is, to get up early to invest.

This is true, but Chen Chengli came into contact with Meituan so early, which really surprised him a little.

From the perspective of an ordinary person, Fang Changan does not have much favorable feelings for Meituan, but even if he changes to another platform, his behavior will not be different from Meituan after he goes to the monopoly position.

Capital pursuit of profit is natural, and some industries are born with monopoly attributes, and the importance is to control it. As the saying goes, if he is decent, he will be decent, and if he is not decent, he will be decent.

It seems that "Let the Bullets Fly" will be released at the end of this year...

It was almost noon, Fang Chang'an and Shen Mo left together and went to a class reunion. A cousin from Wang Ke got married and would not attend today.

I haven't seen each other in a semester, and there are more than a dozen classmates in total. When I see you again, I have changed a little bit, some have become more cheerful, some are more beautiful, and some have even changed their accents and cannot be changed back in semi-normalization.

After lunch, I went to sing again. During this period, several girls kept chatting in the QQ group, and Wang Ke also posted several photos of her getting married there.

The next afternoon, Fang Chang'an took the high-speed rail (the prototype of Yunlong is Xuzhou. The high-speed rail station has not been used yet, and the high-speed rail is also at the old station. There was an error in the previous article and it has been changed) and returned to Beijing. The school started late, but Wang Ke still followed him back.

Both parents know that they have met each other and have no objection.

Shen Mo also knew it and did not give any comments. Wang Ke chatted with her when she was in the car. It looked very harmonious and discussed the next furniture for the school house. Those who didn't know thought the two were going to live together.

Fang Chang'an felt that even if the two girls didn't want to face that kind of scene, it probably wouldn't be hidden for long.

There will always be a storm.

Before this, he felt a little confident, but before it really arrived, no one could guarantee what it was like.

Of course, before again, he will appear with the first generation of ancient Chinese mobile phones, and personally open the curtain on the rise of Chinese smartphones.
