January 9, 2007.
Across the ocean.
Apple founder Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone to the world at the Macworld conference held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, USA.
Although the specifications and functions of the first generation of Apple mobile phones were relatively limited, it revolutionized touch screen technology and multi-touch, replacing the physical keyboards that were commonly used at the time.
The phone is equipped with a 3.5-inch screen, a 2-megapixel camera, 16GB of storage and 128MB of RAM.
In hindsight, the historical significance of this press conference is far greater than people imagined.
Before this, although smartphones had already entered the market, the size and weight of mobile phones greatly restricted their development and promotion.
The first Apple phone released by Jobs integrated all functions into a small 3.5-inch screen. Although its functions were limited, it was about to completely change the mobile phone market. It was recognized by later generations as the door to the true smartphone era.
Chen Fan was sitting in his office and reading this news.
The discussion level under the news is not very high, with only a dozen comments.
But Chen Fan knew that from today on, the era of personal mobile phones would be completely overturned.
Especially in the past few years, since the release of the legendary Apple 4, smartphones have completely led the trend, dominated the market, and completely changed people's lives.
This is a foreseeable change in humanity.
While other mobile phone manufacturers were still competing over sliding cover or flip cover, screen size, and changing button styles in various ways, others directly introduced the revolutionary touch screen button, turning the mobile phone from a clumsy communication tool into a personal handheld computer.
This is a truly revolutionary wave. In this wave, all companies that have a sharp vision and can turn around and catch this express train in time will have tickets to the future 5G era.
However, some mobile phone manufacturers, due to various shortcomings such as slow response and extreme arrogance, will eventually be lost in the tide of the times.
Among them, Nogia is the most typical representative.
Chen Fan didn't care about Nogia, and now he was only thinking about one thing.
That is, the change has begun, and I no longer have to sit at the card table.
Chen Fan sat in the office for a while and finally made up his mind.
and!
Must follow!
Since there are not many people at the card table now.
Then why can't you add yourself?
As long as this hurdle is passed, Chen Fan's industry can be completely divided into two parts.
The Internet and the physical industry go hand in hand.
Battery R&D, mobile phone R&D, new energy vehicles...
Chen Fan has already drawn a path for the future of Hongfan Electronic Technology.
This time, a lot of money may be invested.
Lots and lots of money.
Even my current wealth is not enough.
But Chen Fan still wants to take this gamble.
I know, I have only taken this step.
In the years ahead, the Group will have a much easier road ahead.
Of course, Chen Fan insisted on taking this step for another reason.
That is the social responsibility of being an entrepreneur.
In the past, whether it was mobile phones or new energy, foreign companies were far ahead at the beginning, and domestic energy manufacturers could only follow behind and eat leftovers.
It was not until more than a decade later that the relevant domestic industries saw the light of day.
This time, Chen Fan plans to do all this ten years in advance.
Then you will have more time to plan for the next trend.
One step ahead leads to another. Only if the group can take this step, Chen Fan is confident that he can thoroughly lead technological change in the future.
Chen Fan quickly took out a pen and paper, first made a rough outline of the plan in his mind, and then wrote down in detail the first five-year plan for the future.
In Chen Fan's plan, the future Ruofan Group will be divided into four major sectors.
Internet section. This section is centered on Feifan Technology, and includes the current Feifan Video, the Weibo under development, the Feifan mobile browser that has been launched, and various mobile app applications that will be developed in the future.
In the future, Feifan Technology's focus will shift to the application research and development of mobile Internet APPs.
The second largest sector is the big entertainment sector. This sector includes Feifan Media, Star Games, and New Century Music. From games, music, movies and TV series to various national variety shows that will be launched in the future, it thoroughly covers all aspects of the entertainment industry.
The third largest sector is the industrial sector.
This area is real estate and Hongfan Electronic Technology.
The real estate model is relatively simple. As long as you have money, you can go through the auction process - buy land - build a special plaza - a special commercial street, a business district... This path is simple enough and it is relatively easy to make money.
In the next few years, as long as there is no problem with funds and the house is built, there will be no worries about selling it.
The last one is Hongfan Electronic Technology.
This is what Chen Fan values most, even though Hongfan Electronic Technology is just an inconspicuous small factory.
In Chen Fan's plan, in the future, Hongfan Electronic Technology will include battery research and development, independent mobile phone production, automotive lithium batteries, and new energy research...
This is a market worth tens of trillions of dollars, enough for the next decade or so of struggle.
As long as it develops smoothly, Hongfan Electronic Technology will become the largest business of Ruofan Group.
Of course, Chen Fan also has one last sector, the cutting-edge electronic technology investment and research and development sector.
This is a project that Chen Fan plans to launch in the next few years or even decades.
Artificial intelligence, robots, AI assistants, mobile phone systems, vehicle navigation, future civilian drone development, commercial rocket development...
The items listed by Chen Fan are all the cutting-edge technologies that he knew in his previous life.
Of course, in this lifetime, it is impossible for Ruofan Group to be involved in all of them.
Chen Fan does not have the energy and money to support such a huge project.
Chen Fan plans to set up a separate investment company in the future.
As long as there is enough capital, you can invest, develop on your own, or support other companies’ development by investing in shares…
After writing the last line, Chen Fan looked at the draft plan.
Take a deep breath.
This is the first time since the re-emergence of the company that he has fully revealed his ambitions and business plans.
To fully complete this plan, it may take at least ten to twenty years.
If the plan can be implemented completely according to this sketch, Chen Fan will feel that this life will not be in vain.
Chen Fan has already made plans except for the last cutting-edge technology research and development section.
It took ten to fifteen years to completely complete the layout of all sectors, making Ruofan Group one of the largest companies in the country.
At that time, all industries of the group can be divided into batches and then demolished on the market.
Chen Fan left a gift to all his friends and old employees who had worked with him since the start of the business: shares in the company.
Once a few companies go public in the future, they can immediately create dozens or even hundreds of multimillionaires and billionaires...
Fifteen years later, Chen Fan was still not yet forty years old.
Being young and strong, he can completely let go, retreat behind the scenes, travel around the world with Su Ruochu, and enjoy life...
It’s worth my life in this world!
