Chapter 504 Reluctance (8,000 words)(1/2)

"?!"

Fang Nian's eyebrows jumped.

The meeting has just begun, does it have to be so exciting?

It can be said that Fang Nian was not prepared for this at all before the meeting started.

The reason why he agreed to attend the meeting was because he planned to be a mascot, but he never thought about taking on any responsibilities.

However, as soon as Fang Nian opened his mouth, Lei Jun continued talking before he could say anything.

"I know you may not believe it, but Mr. Bin, who is responsible for the development of the 'Nuwa' system, also agrees that Mr. Fang is the soul creator of 'Nuwa'."

Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Bing said clearly: "Indeed."

"Although not a single character in the current total of 190,000 lines of code was personally contributed by Mr. Fang, all the programmers involved, including me, think so."

"Of course, when I say this, I do not deny the hard work of Xiaomi employees."

After Lin Bing finished speaking, Lei Jun took over the conversation tacitly.

“To be honest, in my mind, the ultimate goal of founding Xiaomi is to make smartphones.

But at first I wanted to start with software. During the process of preparing for Xiaomi, I, including Bian, thought that the amount of work required to develop a self-developed operating system was too large and unrealistic, so I planned to carry out in-depth customization based on the open source Android system;

It was Mr. Fang who convinced me and gave me a very good development direction."

Having said this, Lei Jun paused briefly, glanced at Huang Xiujie, and said.

"Later, when the first draft version came out, Mr. Fang directly gave the development direction and design concept without even looking at it. Mr. Huang also knew about this."

At this time, Huang Xiujie had already reacted.

He nodded repeatedly: "What Mr. Lei said is true. I have thought so from the beginning."

"..."

Next, Lei Jun, Lin Bing, and Huang Xiujie each expressed their views from different perspectives.

From an objective and fair perspective, he expressed the necessity for Fang Nian to serve as the spokesperson for the alliance.

There was mention of Fang Nian’s amazing long-term vision.

Fang Nian’s macro views on smartphones were mentioned.

There was mention of Fang Nian’s longer-term thoughts on the smartphone system.

It was mentioned that Fang Nian always emphasizes user experience.

In addition to the "doodles" given by Fang Nian last time in Zhuhai, Lei Jun and Lin Bing also highlighted the opinions expressed by Fang Nian yesterday afternoon.

Except for some points that Lei Jun and Lin Bing think are of a higher strategic level, they are not mentioned.

He even expressed the idea of ​​adding a voice assistant within the system framework based on the blueprint of Private Day...

Since the first time he wanted to speak, Lei Jun beat him to it, so Fang Nian simply kept his mouth shut and became a listener.

It's not like he has never seen this kind of scene before.

It’s not like you are directly depriving yourself of the right to speak.

If Fang Nian wants to talk, he can do so at any time.

Moreover, Fang Nian could clearly see that there was a tacit understanding between Lei Jun and Lin Bing, and that Huang Xiujie and Lei Jun had a tacit understanding.

But the alliance is not between the two of them, nor is it a matter between Xiaomi and Meizu.

The reason why Lei Jun and the others seemed so patient and took the trouble was actually because they wanted to convince Chen Mingyong and Shen Wei.

As for Fang Nian, it is not within their consideration scope for the time being.

The reason why Fang Nian didn't interrupt and was just a listener was because he was thinking about the core contradiction of this matter.

Inevitably, the issue of interests comes to mind.

From the beginning of the meeting, the conference room was never quiet.

Even Lei Jun and the others said it was over.

Vivo's Shen Wei spoke calmly with confusion.

"Our smartphone plan has just been finalized, and we are still in the stage of feeling our way forward. I don't understand technology, so I may have some inappropriate doubts."

With that said, Shen Wei pushed up his glasses.

"Both Mr. Lei and Mr. Huang mentioned in-depth customization of the open source Android system, so why should we take a more complicated path?"

"Sometimes in the eyes of consumers, domestic products represent backwardness and low-end."

"I do not deny that the original intention of the Nuwa Alliance is very good."

Lei Jun answered this question: “Although Android can be deeply customized, it is difficult to change the core of the system.

For reasons such as security, Android updates and deeply customized versions must also be updated accordingly.

Under such circumstances, the control over the product development line will decrease."

"In addition, Mr. Fang said something that I very much agree with."

"It's better to have a father and a mother than to have one yourself."

After hearing what Lei Jun said, Shen Wei chuckled and said, "Look, the first question is indeed inappropriate."

"Another thing I can't understand is why Xiaomi is willing to give up leadership.

Although I know that Mr. Fang is really powerful and has a far-sighted vision, I have never heard that Mr. Fang is involved in the system software industry."

After Shen Wei finished speaking, Chen Mingyong spoke at the right time.

"From a strategic perspective, I basically agree with everyone's point of view. Mr. Fang has a more long-term vision than what is rumored."

"However, as Mr. Shen said, Mr. Fang does not seem to be involved in the system software industry, and he does not have program development capabilities."

“I also don’t understand Xiaomi’s initiative to give up leadership.”

In fact, regarding Fang Nian's contribution to the 'Nuwa' system, Lei Jun and others have already made it very straightforward.

Neither Shen Wei nor Chen Mingyong understands technology, but the R&D managers of their two companies do and deeply admire them.

So from a technical point of view, the two of them have nothing to say at all.

The core questions between them are why Xiaomi gave up on its own initiative and why Fang Nian did not get involved in the software industry.

On the first point, there is serious suspicion.

Is it because Xiaomi also feels that its self-developed system is a hot potato?

The second point is from a practical point of view. If Fang Nian serves as the speaker, how to define the integration of new system features and other tasks?

Facing the looks of Shen Wei and Chen Mingyong, Lei Jun felt calm.

"Xiaomi has already started preparing for its mobile phone business, and it will be less and less likely that it will devote all its energy to in-depth development of the system.

For the better development of ‘Nuwa’ and for the common interests within the alliance, it is not a difficult decision to give up the leadership.”

Lei Jun only answered the first point.

The second point was not mentioned at all.

Shen Wei and Chen Mingyong did not ask further questions, but fell into brief contemplation.

After a while, Chen Mingyong was the first to express his position: "I have no problem here."

"We have no problem either." Shen Wei followed closely.

So, everyone looked at Fang Nian.

Fang Nian: "..."

No, I'm just the audience temporarily. Isn't it too efficient for you to unify opinions?!

Why is it that as I listen, I suddenly become unable to shirk it?

This is not the development process I want!

This is not cute at all!

Although Fang Nian is not top-notch in the business field, he is smart and funny.

The current situation is obvious, and if we discuss further, there will undoubtedly be issues of interest involved.

And it is a very acute issue of interests.

Fang Nian knew that as long as he opened his mouth, it would be equivalent to opening up this sharp point.

Fang Nian felt that his head was shiny and black, as if a pot lid had fallen off.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: "How did this make me angry? I didn't hesitate to end my trip and traveled thousands of miles to the capital, and you did this to me?"

"Is it too much? Is it too much?!"

It sounds slow to say, but in fact these thoughts flashed through Fang Nian's mind in an instant.

Facing everyone's gaze, Fang Nian smiled and spoke calmly.
To be continued...
