"Cooperation is a win-win situation. If you cooperate with us, the problem of real-name registration for mobile phone numbers will be solved. This is a policy delegated from above. Brother Ma, you can use this to negotiate, and we can definitely achieve a strategic cooperation."

Initially, mobile phone numbers could be obtained freely without showing any identification documents; a mobile phone number could be obtained for just 50 yuan. This rule allowed many criminals in China to exploit loopholes. However, now that the policy is moving towards a real-name registration era, WeChat is not afraid of China Unicom and China Mobile refusing to cooperate as long as it implements real-name registration.

Little Ma nodded.

Lei Jun arrived that evening.

"Brother Lei, Tencent is planning to develop its own antivirus software. You're an expert in this field, so could you give us some pointers?"

Lei Jun smiled and said, "No problem, it's nothing."

Kingsoft Antivirus's status in the industry is undeniable, and Lei Jun's qualifications are even more impressive.

Cao Lingxuan poured Lei Jun a glass of wine.

"Brother Lei, what are you planning to do in the future?"

Lei Jun scratched his head: "After selling the company, I was completely lost. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I don't know how to enjoy life. After giving my parents 5 million yuan, I didn't have any other places to spend money."

Ma's lips twitched: "Are you showing off your wealth here?"

Lei Jun scratched his head: "I really didn't mean that. I'm not Ding Pangzi. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

How about entering the mobile phone industry?

"The mobile phone industry?"

Shen Fang nodded: "Yes, the mobile phone industry. The 3G era is coming soon. I predict that after 2008, smartphones will enter China. A great era is coming. Brother Lei, don't miss this opportunity."

Lei Jun nodded: "To be honest, I also think that mobile phones are the next big thing, and I have a lot of ideas about it, but I haven't made up my mind yet."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Brother Lei, you become like the people you are, so don't worry, just get started."

"Alright then, since you support me, Mr. Shen, and I'm confident in my abilities, let's do it!!!"

"What brand should we call it?" Lei Jun pondered for a long time, stroking his chin.

"How about calling it 'Rice'? What do you think of that name?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "How about calling it Xiaomi? The English abbreviation MI for Xiaomi just happens to mean Mobile Internet."

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun immediately clapped his hands: "That's great, that's great, let's call it Xiaomi!!!"

"President Shen, since I've decided to join this industry, I'll naturally have to learn from your company when the time comes. Please don't hesitate to share your knowledge with me."

"No problem, but Lei, your most important task right now is to quickly apply for Xiaomi's trademark and mobile phone license."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Little Ma raised his glass: "Come on, Lei, I wish you great success in the mobile phone industry, let's have a drink."

"Let's go, let's go."

The three of them toasted and ate, then found a place to go boating on the lake, fishing and chatting.

"Brother, Sina has started making its move. It looks like it will be difficult for Chen Tianqiao to gain control."

In 2006, after Shanda announced it owned 19.5% of Sina's shares, Sina immediately launched a "poison pill" plan, requiring Shanda to obtain board approval before it could take control of Sina, thus setting a high barrier for Chen Tianqiao. Over the past year, Chen Tianqiao has communicated and negotiated with Sina's shareholders, but his efforts have not yielded any results.

"Should we add fuel to the fire?" Little Ma asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips, as he looked out at the lake.

"There's no need for that. We're already so familiar with Lao Chen. We'll step in when Lao Chen really can't take it anymore."

"Alright."

"Seriously, we've been fishing for two hours and haven't caught a single fish. Is there no fish around?" Little Ma said, puzzled.

Shen Fang also looked frustrated. Was he going to fail? He had fished before, so what was going on?

"Hey, by the way, how's the movie 'American Dreams in China' coming along? I'm waiting to make a name for myself!"

Lei Jun glanced at Pony Ma: "You're not famous enough yet. Wherever you go now, everyone treats you like royalty. The name 'Shenzhen Ma' is well-known."

Little Ma chuckled and said, "It's different. A business district is a business district, but a movie is for the whole nation."

"You can forget about becoming famous and influential, but your name will definitely be known to people all over the country, that's for sure."

"Recently, there's a streamer on Tencent Live called Xuxubao who keeps displaying your photos at home every day, calling you 'Brother Ma, Brother Ma,' and trying to get you popular. You're already incredibly famous, but most of the time it's people who are criticizing you."

They even made a GIF: "If you keep pushing for 50,000, you'll become even stronger."

Ma was quite annoyed when he heard this: "I know about this, but I've already made the money, what can I do? Sometimes I really have to bear so much criticism for Tencent."

Shen Fang patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

Little Ma chuckled and said, "Actually, I think as long as you pay, you can scold me however you want."
