Chapter 505 Frontier's First Independent Laboratory(1/3)
The meeting did not end with Fang Nian's promise.
Although there are only four companies in the "Nuwa" alliance, it seems to be very loose.
But the resources involved are not small.
You must know that the reason why Xiaomi can be valued at US$200 million after the investment is basically because of "Nuwa".
The rules discussed before were all to ensure the basic interests of Fang Nian, the speaker, after he took over Nuwa.
Naturally, more detailed rules are needed to ensure the subsequent interests of alliance members.
After a simple discussion, the speaker, Fang Nian, was invited from the corner to the central seat of the conference table.
Fang Nian didn't hesitate and cleared his throat.
"Hello everyone, let's get to know each other again. My name is Fang Nian and I am eighteen years old."
The suffix is customarily added.
Even if calculated according to the Gregorian calendar, classmate Fang Nian is still under nineteen years old, and there is nothing wrong with him at all.
Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Fang Nian continued.
"Next, I will chair the first official meeting of the 'Nuwa' System Alliance."
"First of all, let me raise the first issue, which is to determine the scope of the alliance's membership."
Shen Wei's focus was not on the issue at all, and he said bluntly: "By the way, Mr. Fang is eighteen years old this year?"
"Mr. Shen, don't be too surprised. Mr. Fang won't be a sophomore until next month." Lei Jun added with a smile.
Shen Wei: "!!!"
Chen Mingyong simply looked serious and kept silent.
Even insiders like Lei Jun and others are still surprised every time they think of this.
In my heart, I feel that this is too stupid!
Not to mention Chen Mingyong, Shen Wei and others who were completely unaware of this before.
Why are you only eighteen?
Do you ever wonder what you were doing when you were eighteen?
Playing in mud?
Lei Jun is already considered very talented. At the age of 18, he had just been admitted to Wuhan University and was full of ambitions.
From this point of view, Fang Nian is actually the same, and he is also full of ambitions.
It's just that Fang Nian's words carry a lot of weight.
Everyone here can attest...
Seeing that everyone's focus was off, Fang Nian quickly said: "Hey, bosses, let's have a meeting!"
Chen Mingyong was the first to respond: "The domestic mobile phone industry."
"I agree, otherwise there is no need to distinguish between licensing fees inside and outside the alliance." Shen Wei also replied.
"..."
The topic was discussed and the results were quickly reached.
Everyone agreed that no matter what the situation, the 'Nuwa' alliance would only absorb domestic enterprises as new members.
The next step is to each propose issues that need to be discussed.
For example, the entry fee that new members of the alliance need to pay.
After discussion, this item was determined to be a single payment of 20 million + 10% of the current year’s authorization fee.
For example, code contributions by members follow the principle of free payment.
For example, can the editorial team intervene in the mobile phone industry like Google?
On this point, Fang Nian made it clear:
Except for the investment from Frontier Angels, the entire Frontier system, including the companies controlled by Fang Nian, will not get involved in the mainstream mobile phone production and sales.
Originally, Fang Nian decided not to get involved in the field of mobile phone production and sales in any form.
It was only after everyone made a unanimous concession that the statement was revised.
Finally, the payment time for maintenance fees was determined:
The maintenance fee for the next year must be paid before December 31 of each year.
Finally, start from the perspective of friendly cooperation and risk dilution.
Everyone unanimously decided to pay the initial start-up capital and maintenance fees for 2010 before 5 pm tomorrow.
Finally, Fang Nian made a concluding speech.
"On August 2, Frontier Innovation took the lead in establishing the 'Nuwa' system laboratory, which is responsible for system review and editing."
"Frontier Innovation invested 45 million yuan, plus the initial start-up capital and 2010 maintenance expenses contributed by various companies, a total of 100 million yuan was invested in improving the version of the 'Nuwa' system and developing new functions."
"According to the established plan, Xiaomi will assist the 'Nuwa' system laboratory to release the official version of 'Nuwa' at 2 p.m. on August 8."
"Xiaomi's assistance to the 'Nuwa' system laboratory will continue until August 31."
“In addition to being responsible for system review and editing, the ‘Nuwa’ Laboratory is also responsible for the review and editing of application ecology.”
“‘Nuwa’ Lab will be responsible for negotiating version support with current necessary application manufacturers.”
"..."
Amidst a round of applause, the first meeting of the ‘Nuwa’ Alliance ended successfully.
The purpose is for Fang Nian, who is the mascot, to be unanimously elected as the talker of the alliance.
Fang Nian, who felt a bit fucked up, finally reluctantly agreed.
Under the entanglement of different interests, the loose alliance has reached consensus on multiple levels for the smartphone era that has been kicked off by Apple.
Because he had enough network resources and Fang Nian was the soul creator of the 'Nuwa' system, he took over the hard work.
A ‘Nuwa’ system laboratory will be established under cutting-edge innovation.
…………
After the meeting.
Everyone said goodbye one by one in the hotel lobby.
Shen Wei took Fang Nian's hand and shook it hard, with a smile on his face, and said repeatedly: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Fang again."
Chen Mingyong is similar.
Huang Xiujie had no choice but to invite Fang Nian to Zhuhai.
Several of them were already in the capital and had some meetings they couldn't refuse to attend.
It will take another day or two.
On the contrary, Fang Nian, as soon as the meeting ended, said he would rush back to Shanghai immediately to start preparing for all parties' affairs.
In the end, Fang Nian could not completely refuse the kindness of the bosses.
I got in Lin Bing's car and headed back to the hotel where I was staying.
Lei Jun sat together.
After Lin Bing started the car, Lei Jun apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I didn't tell you beforehand."
"Hey, Mr. Lei, the raw rice has become cooked rice, you just said that!" Fang Nian couldn't help but curled his lips and joked.
Lei Jun said helplessly: "I accidentally went off topic yesterday and forgot about it."
Then he said with a smile: "After thinking about it later, I decided not to tell you in advance, so that you would not be prepared and have other plans. After all..."
"From my personal point of view, including taking into account Xiaomi's interests, it is the most cost-effective to put you on the chariot."
"No one will be able to develop 'Nu Wa' better than if I gave it to Mr. Fang."
Hearing this, Fang Nian waved his hands indifferently and said: "Okay, okay."
Then he took the initiative to talk about business.
"I will return to Shencheng later. After the arrangements are made there, Mr. Lei will send a few people to stay here for a while."
Lei Jun responded: "No problem, I'll wait for your arrangement."
Fang Nian added: "Since you are all willing to hand over the editing and editing work of 'Nu Wa' to me, I will do more.
In addition to the basic development version and stable version, I will let the laboratory make a pre-research version and add the features I envision."
"As for the voice assistant function mentioned yesterday, my personal idea is not to integrate it into the system. I would like to make it into software and attach it to your customized UI."
Lei Jun and Lin Bing each had their own thoughts.
Originally the distance was not far, so we just had a brief chat.
To be continued...
