Chapter 468 It is better to have a father and a mother! (Part 4(2/2)

"That's true." Lei Jun smiled, "Mr. Fang changed my original intention of founding Xiaomi."

"..."

Another ten minutes passed with all kinds of questions.

Investors' perspective is indeed very tricky.

It is many times more cunning than playing against Dang Kang.

There is only one reason for this: distrust of domestic products, especially the reliability of domestic independent research and development.

Give an example.

If Xiaomi follows its original development trajectory and deeply customizes the UI directly based on Android.

There won’t be so many problems with financing this time.

And this does not mean that everyone agrees with the US$200 million valuation proposed by Fang Nian.

It's just a normal financing process now.

After talking about the next development and business plan of "Nuwa", Lei Jun said solemnly.

“Early before developing ‘Nuwa’, Mr. Fang and I had already discussed Xiaomi’s main development model in the future;

First of all, Xiaomi’s development direction is Internet companies;

Relying on the 'Nuwa' operating system as the core, we will enter the field of smartphone manufacturing and produce domestic mobile phone products that will impress users."

“Since the release of ‘Nuwa’, Xiaomi has followed the development of Internet companies and relied on the Internet to establish vertical connections with users;

This model will be copied to the production, distribution and sales of mobile phones."

"..."

This time, almost none of the investors present spoke.

Lei Jun has also basically finished talking about Xiaomi’s future blueprint, including its important future development directions, including its core business model.

The first person to speak this time was Guo Hong: "Mr. Lei, what you said about establishing vertical connections based on the Internet is similar to the e-commerce model?"

"right."

"..."

"System first, then software, then hardware. I fully agree with this business planning process, but I also have some doubts...

Since it is an Internet company, how to ensure that the mobile phone produced is good enough;

Especially at present, the overall average price of domestic mobile phones is less than 700 yuan..."

"..."

"Yes, we all know that Apple in the United States has released another epoch-making smartphone product, but Xiaomi's start is a bit late..."

"..."

Finally, Neil Shen said: "I am very interested in Xiaomi's business model, and I also like the name 'Nuwa'. Putting aside the US$200 million valuation mentioned by Mr. Fang, I have a question. Mr. Fang."

"How did you convince Mr. Lei to change his original intention of starting a business and build a brand new system from scratch?

You must know that this is a period of rapid development of the Internet. From Mr. Lei’s description, I can feel that ‘Nuwa’ is still an immature system;

It will obviously waste a lot of time on this, why not choose the open source Android system;

After all, reinventing the wheel is time-consuming and thankless, and Android is completely free, so you don’t need to buy or rent it.”

Chen Nier’s doubts point directly to the core focus of Xiaomi’s development.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Why not go with what's available.

The experience of the past few decades has long proved that "it is better to build than to buy, and to buy is worse than to rent" is the most rapid, effective and beneficial way of development.

Xiaomi obviously wants to become an Internet company, but it is putting the cart before the horse!

This question was posed directly to Fang Nian by Neil Shen.

When Shen Nier finished speaking, everyone present looked at Fang Nian, including Lei Jun.

Seeing this, Fang Nian looked calm and replied simply and forcefully: "Mr. Shen, it's better to have your father and your mother than to have your own!"

“It is true that the United States, which invented the computer, already has a complete system, so we don’t seem to need to reinvent it ourselves;

Android belongs to Google, and Google is a commercial company. Instead of facing the possibility of being forced to charge licensing fees after it develops and grows, it is better to get rid of this possibility from the beginning."

"..."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Liu Qin and Kuang Ping, two acquaintances, realized something.

Dai Qiang and others are different from each other.

Some people didn't take it seriously and even expressed their opinion on the spot: "Mr. Fang, you are too pessimistic and worried."

Fang Nian smiled and said nothing.

He could understand the reaction of everyone here.

Because no one has experienced the various disputes that followed, and has never seen the ‘truth’ that the United States has proven with countless facts.

He even made the ridiculous statement that accessories containing American technology cannot be used...

But Fang Nian still hopes that someone can understand his thoughts.

In the last century, China faced nuclear threats and blackmail;

If we had not held the idea that 'it is better to have a father than a mother,' and if we had followed the Northern Big Brother's suggestion and carried out a small-scale project, how could there have been such a bright mushroom cloud?

Now, in 2010, neither iOS nor Android have fully completed their own ecological construction. This is the best and most likely opportunity.

Even every day from now on, I will be grateful for every second of so-called "wasted" time before today.

'Then it's time to bargain.'

Fang Nian muttered something in his mind, but his expression remained calm.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "I voted!"
