Looking at the dozens of colorful BB machine samples in Ma Huateng's backpack, an inexplicable smile suddenly flashed across the corner of Fang Chen's mouth.

These samples reminded him of a scene. Ma Huateng in the movie "Riding the Wind and Waves" said that he had tinkered with something called oicq, while his companion, Liuyi, who was eating next to him, said that he was going to stock up on bb machines for five bucks.

You will definitely get rich in the next year.

Liuyi's idea was appreciated by everyone, and Ma Huateng also said that after writing OICQ, he went to stock up BB machines with Liuyi. According to the development of the story in the movie, if Xu Tailang, played by Deng Chao, had not stopped him, there would probably not be what everyone knows in future generations.

The familiar little brother Ma has no Tengxun.

Moreover, Fang Chen can use his head as a guarantee. People who hoard bb machines will lose their pants.

After peaking in 1998, the bb machine then took a sharp turn and disappeared from people's sight within two years. It can be said that it is the electronic product that depreciates and disappears the fastest, and there is almost no other electronic product.

Because at that time, the price of mobile phones had dropped, and it was almost the same as the price of BB phones. In this case, only fools would buy BB phones.

However, Ma Huateng really likes bb machines. When he was in college, he wrote a paging station system. His first job was also in a paging company. Even the most familiar QQ message prompt is the message prompt when Ma Huateng uses his own bb machine.

recorded.

Ma Huateng's heart suddenly skipped a beat when Fang Chen smiled like this. He felt like a monk Zhang Er was confused. Could there be something wrong with this bb machine?

Seeing Ma Huateng's confused look, Fang Chen smiled inwardly, but without saying anything, he directly picked up the bb machine on the table and turned it on.

I roughly felt the feel of the buttons. They were crisp and powerful, and the assembly tolerance was not large, so there would be no embarrassing button jams.

The overall workmanship is also good, there are no burrs or unnecessary bulges, the fonts displayed on the display are also very clear, the colors are pretty good, at least there is nothing uncomfortable, Fang Chen gently clicked

He nodded and expressed satisfaction.

But then he thought about it and it seemed that he should do it well.

After all, the predecessor of Qingtian Communications is an old factory like Luozhou Telephone Factory that has been established for more than 20 years. Moreover, it has also invested a lot of money in Qingtian Communications and updated many equipment factories. In this case, if even a bb

The casing, buttons, and display screen of the phone are not done well. He really wants to slap Shen Wei and Ma Huateng on their butts.

After playing with it for a few times, Fang Chen suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia. In his previous life, he had such a bb machine, and it was like a treasure when he first bought it.

In fact, at that time, relatively compact mobile phones produced by Motorola and Ericsson were already available, but he couldn't afford them at the price of two to three thousand, which was more than his seven or eight months' salary at the time.

In the end, after much picking and choosing, he reluctantly spent two months' salary to buy a Han-display BB machine, and it didn't have a brand. It was a no-name BB machine produced by an unknown small workshop.

But even so, when he went out, he pinned the BB camera directly outside his waistband, for fear that others would not see it, and he would not cover it with clothes.

Seeing this, Ma Huateng's heart suddenly calmed down a little. Although he also felt that the BB machine he had made was definitely one of the best BB machines on the market, but before Fang Chen's recognition, everything was in vain.

of fake.

Because of this bb machine, he has not been able to live well at home for years. Even the dormitory arranged for him by the company is just a place to sleep for him. He spends fifteen hours a day in the R&D center and the one supporting the R&D center.

In the experimental workshop.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that the bb machine is a product made with his painstaking efforts.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Chen handed the bb machine to Wu Maocai and asked Wu Maocai to go to the paging station in Moscow to register the bb machine.

Before using the bb machine, you need to register with the paging station, and then obtain a number with the paging station prefix. In fact, it is the same as a mobile phone number, otherwise you will not know who is calling.

In addition, the charging standard is the same as that of current mobile phones. You need to pay an Internet fee to access the network. It was initially a thousand yuan, and then gradually dropped to 300 or 100 yuan, until it was free of charge, and there was also a number selection fee.

Then there is still a monthly fee of more than 200 yuan, which is the usage fee, but it has become cheaper later. It is more than 100 yuan a year for digital display and 600 yuan a year for Chinese display.

By the way, there was news at that time. There was a person who was afraid of the increase in Taiwan fees and wanted to pay the Taiwan fees for twenty years at once. However, the system only supports paying the Taiwan fees for ten years at most. In the end, the person paid 27,000.

A lot of Taiwan fees are gone.

As for why Fang Chen still remembers the news so much, it's because he was still in school at that time and told his roommate that with more than 27,000 yuan, it would be better and more prestigious to buy a big brother directly.

In addition, the paging station was called Runxun, which was Ma Huateng's workplace at the time.

"Now let's take a look at the message receiving function of the pager. I believe you have tested this many times at home. It should not be a big problem." Fang Chen said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ma Huateng's face suddenly turned red. In addition to the motherboard and chips, the two most important things in the pager are the superheterodyne receiver and the decoder. These two are responsible for amplifying the signal and converting the signal.

English letters, numbers, and Chinese characters that humans can decipher.

Except for the motherboard, which is made by Qingtian Communications itself, the internal components of the pager are all purchased from domestic spare parts companies, and the design scheme is also a mature one. He feels that the work he has done is small.

Just a simple modification to make a fuss,

It's like someone has already built or even decorated a house, but he just put a sofa in it and installed a suspended ceiling. What could possibly go wrong?

Now Ma Huateng is just a young man who has just graduated from college in two months. Fang Chen can see Ma Huateng's thoughts at a glance.

He smiled slightly and said, "We have just started. It is unrealistic and impossible to do everything ourselves. After all, our technical reserves are almost zero, and we have to eat in one mouthful. You cannot become fat by eating in one breath."

Speaking of this, Fang Chen paused, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and then continued: "But you also have to know that there will be bread and milk."

Without any technical reserves, it is understandable to directly purchase foreign parts and components, choose mature foreign product design solutions, and only make simple modifications yourself.

After all, solving existing problems first is the most important thing.

Even if it is an imitation, it is still better than the bb machines produced by Motorola, Ericsson, and Alcatel-Lucent all over the street. There is not even a bb machine with the name of a domestic company in China.

Technology is something that can only be climbed step by step. If he wants to change things in an instant, Fang Chen asks himself whether he has the ability.

However, if you indulge in imitation, do not think about making progress, and do not increase investment in scientific research, this will be a big problem!

Fang Chen can even say without politeness that such an enterprise is not far from death.

Ma Huateng nodded heavily. He naturally believed what Fang Chen said.

Everyone in the company knows that Fang is always the most persistent in technological autonomy. As long as the technology can be developed by oneself, no matter how much it costs, he will not buy it off-the-shelf.

And in Mr. Fang’s words, independent research and development is paying tuition, exchanging money for experience, lessons, and knowledge. It is training the team. You can buy other people’s ready-made things. Then it is really just a simple gain.

It’s just technology. When people come up with new technologies, they can only continue to pay for them. When will this end?

After pondering for a moment, Fang Chen looked at Ma Huateng and said slowly: "But I am not satisfied with this bb machine."

Fang Chen's words were like a thunderbolt that struck Ma Huateng so hard that he was almost stunned.

He looked at Fang Chen in disbelief. Fang Chen was obviously smiling just now, why was he suddenly dissatisfied now?

He was even a little aggrieved. He worked so hard for more than ten hours a day, and lived well for years. The results he made were praised by everyone, and no one who saw them said anything bad. But when he came to Fang Chen, he actually

It received an unsatisfactory rating.

Moreover, he really attached too much importance to this bb machine and placed too many things on it.

When he went to report during the New Year, although Shi Yuzhu encouraged him to do a good job and said he had a bright future, he didn't say he cared that much, at least not as much as he does now.

When he first went to the company, Shen Wei and Mr. Shen took him along, and the two of them talked for a whole night, about the importance of the BB machine and the entire paging system to the company, and how much the company valued him.

And can you imagine that, as a 22-year-old who has not yet graduated from college, the company directly promoted him to the position of deputy general manager and chief engineer of the paging project, with more than 40 technical staff under him?

When he was appointed, he was really confused.

Although he knew that he was the person recruited by Mr. Fang himself and the company would definitely not fail to reuse him, he really didn't expect to be given such an important responsibility and trust all at once. He thought that a position such as chief engineer of the paging project would be at least

It would take him two or three years of work before he could even touch it.

And although Qingtian Communications is newly established, it actually has the Luozhou Telephone Equipment Factory as its foundation. Qingtian Communications really does not lack people, so it is not his turn to be the chief engineer of this paging project.

And you should know that although he is nominally the deputy general manager, he is actually almost the same as the general manager. After all, the nominal general manager is Dong Jiamu, the company's executive vice president.

Shen Wei and Liu Hongwei, the two general managers and the vice president of sales are out running business all day long, and Zheng Baoyong, the chief engineer, has also been busy with 04 machines and recruiting technicians, so Dong Jiamu, as the manager of Qingtian Communications

The executive vice president is naturally responsible for most of the company's daily work.

Under such circumstances, how could Dong Jiamu concentrate on the paging project? Basically, he had the final say on the paging project.

He once specifically declined, but Shen Wei said that Mr. Fang had agreed to let him take charge of the paging project. If he had any problems, he could report to Mr. Fang alone.

As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his confidant. He really wanted to be worthy of the respect of Mr. Fang and the company leaders, so he worked so hard.

And after he made the pager, the first thing he thought about was to show Fang Chen, so that Fang Chen knew that he had lived up to his trust and expectations.

As a result, Fang Chen directly expressed dissatisfaction to him.

Seeing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. Ma Huateng was still too young. The boss was not satisfied with his work. As an employee, he shouldn't have asked with fear first, "Aren't you dissatisfied?"

The result was great. Before he could say anything, Ma Huateng felt wronged.

"Okay, don't feel wronged. I'm just not satisfied. It doesn't mean that you didn't do a good job. And as the boss, I have the right to express my opinions, right?" Fang Chen said.

After hearing this, Ma Huateng's face turned pale instantly. Although he had not graduated from college, he could still understand Fang Chen's heart-wrenching words.

Employees who dare to block their boss's mouth and prevent him from speaking will not end well.

Ma Huateng wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word. After a few breaths, five words came out, "I admit my mistake to you."

Fang Chen grinned. He hit Ma Huateng not because he was dissatisfied with the bb machine, but for Ma Huateng's good. Ma Huateng was entrusted with important tasks when he arrived at the company. This is a good thing. Cultivate talents and train talents. You can do your best. Let talents tap their potential.

As the chairman and CEO of Tencent, he feels that Ma Huateng still has great potential to be tapped.

Perhaps, it was precisely because he knew about Ma Huateng's later achievements that he agreed to hand over the paging project to Ma Huateng. Otherwise, he was crazy to hand over such an important project to a student who had not even graduated from college.

But if people are too smooth sailing and can't even touch the threshold, then they will be in trouble.

Whether it was Lenovo's marshal Sun Hongbin or Huawei's marshal Li Yinan, their experiences were not very good, and the fall was a bit too harsh.

"Okay, don't admit your mistake. Didn't I just say that I am dissatisfied with the bb machine, not you. You need to separate on this point."

After hearing this, Ma Huateng was a little dizzy. He couldn't figure out what Fang Chen meant. The bb machine was his work. If Fang Chen was not satisfied with the bb machine, wasn't he dissatisfied with him? Why did he say that he was not dissatisfied with him? satisfy.

"You can produce such a sample in such a short period of time. I am very satisfied with your work, but this kind of BB machine is not what I want." Fang Chen said seriously.

Seeing that Ma Huateng still looked dazed, Fang Chen said directly: "Can the bb machine support Chinese display now?"

"It can support Chinese display. If our paging base station is installed and our paging system is used, this pager can support Chinese character display, and the fluency is definitely not inferior to Motorola and Ericsson pagers."

When Fang Chen got to the point, Ma Huateng said with some excitement.

Fang Chen nodded, quite satisfied. Supporting Hanxian was the most important request he made when he and Shen Wei were talking about pagers.
