After ending the call, Lei Jun did not move for a long time.

Military...military training?

This distant word once again deeply stimulated Mr. Lei Jun.

Remind Mr. Lei once again that Fang Nian is a college student.

They are college students who still need to participate in military training.

But his assets are probably even richer than his own, and his vision is so far-sighted that he looks forward to the next ten, twenty, or thirty years.

What kind of monster on earth is this?

Lei Jun, who was in Shanghai, suddenly felt inexplicably that he might have lived like a dog these years...

Later.

Wen Ye arrived at the Fudan campus and easily found Fang Nian, who was following the crowd to the cafeteria for dinner.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Xiaomi Lei is in Shanghai now and hopes to have an interview with you."

"If the time is convenient for you, he hopes you can call back as soon as possible."

"Mr. Lei didn't say anything specific..."

"..."

After hearing what Wen Ye said, Fang Nian quickly reacted and called Lei Jun back on Wen Ye's mobile phone.

We simply agreed to have a cup of tea together at eight o'clock in the evening.

After finishing the business, Wen Ye saw that the time was still very relaxed, quickly glanced at Fang Nian, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Fang had a good military training experience, right?"

"I heard that you have a fight with the instructor."

Fang Nian: "?"

"I accidentally overheard it on the way, and it seemed like a lot of people were discussing it, especially the girls." Wen Ye said calmly.

Her little head is full of gossip and she doesn't think too much about the consequences.

Fang Nian said quietly: "Oh, really?"

"I can't tell Mr. Fang has such a good figure." When he said this, Wen Ye glanced up and down at Fang Nian's upper body.

Fang Nian glanced at Wen Ye: "Mi Wen, do you believe it or not that I made you really schizophrenic?"

Hearing this, Wen Ye whispered: "Should I... believe it?"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and sort out the information on the mobile phone supply chain. Don't be an eyesore here."

"..."

When leaving, Wen Ye looked like he still had something to say.

She really finds it exciting to tease her immediate boss, especially when there is a topic.

Such as now.

Wen Ye never imagined that Mr. Fang Nian would go all the way to participate in the military training without even bringing his mobile phone with him, and he would not worry about missing out on such a billion-dollar business;

During the military training, because of my good physical fitness, I went to arm-wrestle with the instructor!

This is not a joke, what are you waiting for!

…………

…………

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Fang Nian drove to the teahouse agreed in Lujiazui.

I brought the information that Wen Ye had prepared in advance.

"Mr. Fang has worked hard."

Seeing Fang Nian, Lei Jun greeted him with a smile.

"Military training is hot, right?"

Fang Nian smiled and replied: "Fortunately, outdoor training will be stopped when the temperature is too high."

"The experience was pretty good. The instructor wanted me to join the army. To be honest, I really wanted to experience it in the military camp."

Lei Jun sighed: "Mr. Fang is too young!"

"Don't Mr. Lei insist on outdoor sports all year round?" Fang Nian joked with a smile.

"..."

After exchanging pleasantries, Fang Nian looked at Lei Jun and said with a smile, "Mr. Lei, are you back from abroad?"

"I went to Japan with two partners." Lei Jun didn't hide anything.

Then he said calmly: "How should I put it? I feel it deeply."

Hearing this, Fang Nian smiled slightly: "Did you find that when it comes to the hardware field, the ones that are easier to use are somewhat monopolistic?"

Lei Jun glanced at Fang Nian: "Mr. Fang...has also done research in this area?"

Then he immediately reacted: "No wonder you convinced me to establish Shunwei Capital so long in advance!"

"Isn't Mr. Lei just here for Shunwei Capital?" Fang Nian made a gesture and said directly.

Looking at Fang Nian, Lei Jun said bluntly: "Sometimes I wonder what kind of monster Mr. Fang is. As long as it is a key issue, he will always make preparations one step ahead."

"Mr. Lei, please don't flatter me. When we first met, I told you that I am a person who is used to preparing with both hands." Fang Nian said easily.

“When it comes to making money, it’s better to be more prepared.”

Lei Jun smiled and shook his head: "President Fang already knows something about the hardware industry."

"I heard something." Fang Nian did not deny it.

"I encountered a lot of problems when I went abroad this time."

Lei Jun sighed.

"No matter how we go, we will eventually inevitably avoid leading manufacturers in the hardware industry such as Qualcomm, Samsung, Toshiba, Sharp, LG, Sony, Panasonic, and Murata."

After hearing Lei Jun name a long list of well-known foreign manufacturers, Fang Nian also sighed.

"A good mobile phone is inseparable from good hardware support."

"These brands have basically been established for many years, are deeply rooted, and have tight control over the entire supply chain."

Lei Jun deeply agrees: "Cooperation is very difficult. Some of them are not about money at all, but they do not trust small companies like Xiaomi, and they are afraid that Xiaomi will affect their brand control over the years."

"Actually, this is not the point. The point is that there are almost no alternatives at the same level." Fang Nian put it bluntly.

Assembling a mobile phone in 2010 mainly involves memory, display, radio frequency, antenna, chip, battery, electroacoustic, connector, casing, mechanical components, camera module, touch, and circuit board.

There are even more subdivisions.

Memory alone involves: dynamic random access memory, non-volatile flash memory, TF card, etc.

With so many categories of hardware, there are only a few manufacturers that do it well.

Among them, Samsung is the industry leader in many major categories.

For a small company like Xiaomi, let alone bargaining power, people have to consider whether to sell or not.

Lei Jun deeply realized this when he went abroad this time.

Small companies have no say at all.

He was completely pinched to death.

and……

The progress is not ideal yet.

This is Xiaomi's first time trying to make a mobile phone, and there is no reference data to control sales. Many times, it is speechless.

This is reality.

Xiaomi is not short of money. It has raised funds twice before and after, and its cash flow is actually quite abundant. It has several hundred million lying in its account.

If that doesn't work, there are still Lei Jun's own connections, Fang Nianzai, and Shunwei Capital's 1 billion yuan fund.

…………

Lei Jun didn't pour out too much bitterness and soon got down to business.

“After visiting some factories from South Korea to Japan, I found that China’s development in the smartphone industry is relatively lagging behind;

In fact, the frequency of upgrading of electronic products worldwide is accelerating, and even major manufacturers like Samsung, which master some industry standards, are still conducting experiments and explorations."

"Based on what I learned during this business trip, I speculate that the smartphone boom will soon sweep across the world, and China will undoubtedly be the largest market."

At this point, Lei Jun paused briefly: "But without any actual sales data to support it, there is no way to make a detailed judgment about the future."

After listening to Lei Jun's words, Fang Nian pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Lei, from my perspective, this question is actually very simple."

As he spoke, Fang Nian spread his hands and said calmly.

"We all know how popular Apple's iPhone 4 is. Following Apple, as long as Xiaomi makes a good smartphone, consumers will naturally choose it, not just enthusiasts."
