Lin Chen nodded: "That's right, so if you want to make Android smartphones, the first thing you need to do is bring down the price."
"Oh? iPhones are selling for 6000 now, are you planning to sell them for 3000?"
Lin Chen shook his head, held up one finger, and said, "No, sell it for 1999! The first smartphone for a young person!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Jun slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Great, Mr. Lin, I wish we had met sooner! What you said really hit the nail on the head. That's right, if we're going to do something, we should do it to the extreme, so that everyone can enjoy the fun of technology."
Seeing Lei Jun's transformation from his previous dejected state to a spirited one, everyone was genuinely happy for him.
"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect our ideas to be so aligned. Would you be interested in working with me to realize this idea?"
Lin Chen also stood up, extended his hand and shook hands with Lei Jun: "Mr. Lei, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
The group chatted until late at night. After exchanging contact information, Lin Chen and Lei Jun agreed to talk in detail another day before saying goodbye to Su Xiaowan and returning to their hotel.
The next day, Lin Chen told Director Liu that he had things to do in Beijing and wouldn't be returning to Shanghai with them. Director Liu had been praised by his superiors for Lin Chen's company winning first place in the competition the day before, and was extremely happy. Naturally, he had no objections and prepared to return to Shanghai with the rest of the group.
Lin Chen then took Su Xiaowan to the headquarters of 99fang.
"Hello, welcome to Room 99. Who are you looking for?" The receptionist was a tall young woman with her signature smile.
"I'm looking for your General Manager Zhang. I'm Lin Chen from Xingchen Technology."
"So you are President Lin. Please come in. President Zhang already announced the acquisition yesterday."
Lin Chen walked into the headquarters of 99fang. It was spacious and bright, with offices, a reception room, a conference room, a tea room, and executive offices. Unlike Xingchen Technology, which was still stuck in the office it was using for free in the school's entrepreneurship center. Hehe, it seems that it's time to find an office building outside when it gets back. It's not right to keep taking advantage of the school like this.
"Mr. Lin, hello, I am Zhang Yiming."
"Hello, Mr. Zhang."
After Zhang Yiming, Lin Chen, and Su Xiaowan were seated in the meeting room, Zhang Yiming remarked, "President Lin, I didn't expect you to be so young. When President Wang told me, I didn't believe it."
"Hehe, I just look younger than my age. Actually, I'm already in college."
The receptionist who brought in the tea almost trembled when she heard this. "Can you believe what people are saying?"
Zhang Yiming sighed and said, "President Lin, although I am very happy that you were able to acquire 99fang, 99fang has been in my hands for so long and there have been no results. I am a little disheartened and want to take a break for a while to summarize the lessons learned from the failures."
"Failure? No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, is that what you think? In my opinion, you haven't failed. The path you've taken is correct. It's just that the results won't be seen in a short time. If you were a failure, why would I have come to acquire 99fang?"
"Oh? Mr. Lin thinks my approach is correct?"
“That’s right. I’ve studied 99fang. The most impressive thing about it is the intelligent recommendation algorithm you developed, which makes everyone’s homepage a personalized experience. However, this requires a lot of user data collection. The more data you collect, the more accurate the recommendations will be, and the more users will be retained.”
Zhang Yiming's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Lin Chen to understand the algorithm he had developed so well: "Yes, yes, Mr. Lin, you're absolutely right. I originally expected 99fang to experience a user boom next year, but it seems that investors don't have much confidence in this system."
"It doesn't matter if investors lack confidence, as long as I have confidence in you. Join my team, and I'll put you in charge of Huasuan.com."
"What? In charge of Huasuan.com?"
Zhang Yiming was taken aback. Huasuan.com was the most important project of Lin Chen's company. It could be said that Lin Chen's net worth was now entirely supported by Huasuan.com. Yet he was willing to hand over Huasuan.com to Zhang Yiming to operate. Did he trust Zhang Yiming that much?
"Yes, join my team, and you'll be in charge of Huasuan.com. How about it, are you interested?"
"President Lin, I will do my utmost and live up to your expectations!"
"Haha, that's great. You can stay in Beijing for now and sort out 99fang's business here. Choose a person in charge to set up the Beijing branch. Come to Shanghai to find me then. If any employees are willing to come to Shanghai, you can bring them with you."
"Okay, I'll get things sorted out here as soon as possible."
Ding... The system notification sounded in his mind. Lin Chen pretended to pick up his teacup to drink water, and glanced at it. The system store had been updated. The Huasuan.com icon disappeared, and a new icon appeared in its place—MIUI!
So? After handing over the Huasuan.com business to Zhang Yiming, my next goal is to make mobile phones with Lei Jun?
Just then, Lin Chen's phone rang; it was Lei Jun.
"Mr. Lin, have you returned to Shanghai?"
"Not yet, I'm still in Beijing. Mr. Lei, would you like to treat me to dinner?"
"Haha, there's no time like the present, come on, I'll treat you to roast duck for lunch."
"Okay, I love free meals, I'll be right there."
After saying goodbye to Zhang Yiming, Lin Chen and Su Xiaowan took a taxi to Quanjude Wangfujing Store.
In the car, Su Xiaowan asked curiously, "Lin Chen, are you really going to hand over Huasuan.com to Zhang Yiming to manage?"
"Yes, Zhang Yiming is a talented person, and I have high hopes for him."
So what are you planning to do next?
"Next, of course, we'll go get a free meal, hahaha."
Hearing Lin Chen's answer, Su Xiaowan chuckled. However, she also realized that what Lin Chen was about to do was probably related to this meal.
After getting off the car, Lin Chen saw Lei Jun standing at the door waiting for him.
"Mr. Lei, why are you waiting at the door yourself? It's so cold. You could have just waited for me in the private room."
"Oh, Mr. Lin, these are nothing. I thought about it all night, and I have a lot to talk to you about today. Please come in, and Miss Su, please come in too."
After the three of them sat down in the private room, Lei Jun said, "Although I am not from Beijing, I have lived in Beijing for so many years, so I'm here to show some hospitality."
"Haha, then I won't be polite."
Lin Chen grabbed a thin pancake, put two slices of roast duck inside, rolled up some cucumber and scallion shreds, dipped it in sweet bean sauce, rolled it up, and then stuffed it directly into Su Xiaowan's mouth.
Su Xiaowan was taken aback, not expecting Lin Chen to suddenly stuff something into her mouth. Her cheeks flushed red, and her mouth puffed out like a little hamster, which was quite cute.
Lei Jun smiled like an aunt and said with emotion, "My wife and I also met in college and have been together ever since. Looking back now, how wonderful it was when we were dating."
