Two hours later.
"Then I'll be going now, Grandpa Ren." Chu Yang slowly stood up.
Ren Zhengfei seemed lost in thought, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Chu Yang smiled slightly, walked out, and closed the door.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Ren Zhengfei's gaze finally refocused.
Then, he let out a long sigh.
This sound was filled with endless amazement.
No one knows the immense shock that his worldview and inner world had undergone in the past two hours.
This feeling was like when he moved from the countryside to the city, looked up and saw skyscrapers, and saw airplanes roaring overhead.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Damn, that's incredibly awesome!
This was the feeling Chu Yang had when he presented that mobile phone concept that was supposedly five years ahead of its time.
Ren Zhengfei's gaze fell on the papers on the table.
A sketch of a "phone"—simple, clear, with smooth lines and a screen larger than imagined.
On another piece of paper, there were several lines of keywords.
Smartphone.
This mobile phone integrates multiple functions such as telephone, photography, internet access, entertainment, learning, gaming, social networking, and shopping.
Touchscreen technology and multi-touch.
Slide to unlock, virtual keyboard, Retina display, browser, app store.
3G network.
...
HarmonyOS!
Kirin chip!
All hardware and software are independently developed!
This isn't about making phones; it's about creating a lifestyle.
Investment cost... one billion!
"A billion..."
Ren Zhengfei took a deep breath.
"A genius idea, a genius creation, futuristic technology! This is futuristic technology! How did he come up with this...?"
To do it or not to do it?
He was caught in a deep dilemma.
"If you don't do it, you will miss an opportunity to change the times." These were the words Chu Yang left him.
The mobile phone industry is undergoing a transformation, changing the times and altering people's lifestyles.
These seemingly absurd ideas became so believable after Chu Yang's two-hour explanation.
Ren Zhengfei admitted that he was madly in love.
After a long while, his brows relaxed, and then, gritting his teeth, he made the most difficult decision of his life.
Do!
I'm already sixty years old this year, and I don't have many years left to live. If I don't do it now, when will I ever get another chance?
He picked up his phone and dialed the R&D manager's number.
"Li Hua, didn't you want me to make mobile phones? Then do it! Put up a billion yuan to make them!"
"...Huh?!...Mr. Ren, you haven't been drinking, have you?"
"I'm perfectly clear-headed! The R&D department is meeting tomorrow at 2 PM!"
"Yes, Mr. Ren! You've finally come to your senses, haha! You've really decided to make Little Smart (a mobile phone service)?"
"What kind of garbage PHS phone is this? Listen carefully, I'm going to make a revolutionary mobile phone!"
"……ah??!"
After hanging up the phone, Ren Zhengfei calmed himself down and then looked at another piece of paper on the table.
It was he who wrote down the request made by Chu Yang.
"If you don't do it, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement; if you do it, he has to take 20% of the brand's profits, and this will continue to be the case for all future generations..."
"He's very confident. If it really succeeds and sales pick up, why not give you 20%?"
"If the project fails, or if the product is launched but no one wants it, then I will have wasted 1 billion yuan."
"But so what? This brilliant idea is just too tempting!"
…
"Sister Chunyue, please don't be so tempting."
In the room, Chu Yang looked at Lou Chunyue, who was dressed in a thin nightgown, exuding boundless spring passion and alluring charm, and his inner restlessness was stirred up again.
But after an afternoon of this ordeal, reason told him he shouldn't continue, or he'd be completely drained.
"What, is that not good enough?" Lou Chunyue smiled charmingly.
Chu Yang's lips twitched: "...You're provoking me."
"No, it's teasing."
"Then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Oh, you're serious? I was just kidding!"
"It's too late."
"Ugh!!"
After an unknown amount of time, the noise inside the room subsided.
Lou Chunyue lay on Chu Yang's chest, her eyes half-closed, her breath coming in short gasps, too weak to even lift her hand.
Chu Yang, on the other hand, wore a victorious expression.
After a moment, Lou Chunyue spoke softly, "It feels like you're about to do something big."
Chu Yang stroked her smooth back: "When I came here, I had a premonition that something big was going to happen."
"What big thing is it?" Lou Chunyue asked curiously.
"Hasn't this already happened?" Chu Yang chuckled. "It was too big to handle."
Lou Chunyue was stunned for a moment, then slapped him, looking shy: "Get lost, what's the big deal? Let's talk about something serious."
"You're the one who made me act so improper." Chu Yang rubbed against the milky white snowflakes a couple of times, then became serious.
"It's hard to say right now. There's the matter with Grandpa Ren, the Ma brothers, and most importantly, my short position of 100 million US dollars. There's still no definite answer."
"Don't let my calm exterior fool you, I'm actually panicking inside."
Lou Chunyue was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "It's okay if you lose. I have money, I can support you."
Chu Yang was moved and hugged her tighter.
"It's not enough to go bankrupt. Zhou Xianglun alone is enough to ensure we'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of our lives. But this opportunity is a huge windfall right in front of us. If I miss it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
Lou Chunyue didn't ask any further questions, but said, "Then you definitely won't be able to sleep tonight, the US stock market won't close until 4 a.m.
