Chapter 450 Orange mobile phone (seeking monthly pass)

  "How about calling Qomolangma?"

  A man in his thirties with glasses and a bitter face asked.

  This person is Liu De, the former head of the Industrial Design Department of Beijing University of Science and Technology. He graduated from the American Art and Design Center College, which is ranked No. 1 in the world for industrial design.

  Previously, the other party founded and ran a design company called Jingcheng NewEdge, serving as the founder and chief designer, and was packaged and bought by Xia Jingxing and the company.

  Previous life, this is also the co-founder of Xiaomi. He was responsible for industrial design and supply chain management department at Xiaomi. He is also known as the "father of Xiaomi ecological chain."

  After Xia Jingxing dug up the other party, he planned to appoint him as the vice president of industrial design and supply chain management of his own mobile phone company.

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "It's too vulgar, it's better to call 8848!"

  Liu De did not speak, but looked at other people.

   "Don't look at me, I'm just nameless!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties with meticulous hair combing and wearing a high-end suit. The name was Deng Yuanjun. He was the managing director of the Nokia Growth Fund and led investments in well-known projects such as Xiaomi, Ganji, UC Browser, etc. .

  Nokia Growth Fund was established this year, with more than 1 billion U.S. dollars under management.

  Xia Jingxing dug up the other party and took a lot of talking. In addition to giving shares to the mobile phone company, he also plans to appoint the other party as the CFO and vice president of investment of the mobile phone company.

  Xia Jingxing passed Deng Yuanyun and looked at Qian Chen, who was about his age.

This is Zhou Guangping’s colleague, who also worked at Motorola’s R&D Center in Beijing. He used to be a PhD in underwater acoustics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Lei Jun talked with him for three months in his previous life, and did not invite him 17 or eight times. Later, he went to Hammer Mobile phone, served as CTO.

  Lei Jun didn’t invite him because the other party did not pursue the company’s shares and had a relatively high demand for cash wages. They belonged to the type of "salvage" type of people who were criticized by Lei Jun for lack of entrepreneurial spirit.

  Xia Jingxing talked with the other party, and the salary was 50% higher than that in Motorola, but the shares and options were several times less than those of other key members.

  At present, this person is arranged to form a team with Zhou Guangping and be responsible for hardware research and development together. He has not given the position of vice president, but only a senior director.

   "Call the future mobile phone!"

  As soon as Qian Chen's voice fell, Xia Jingxing and the others laughed.

   "Old money, too straightforward, without connotation."

   Zhou Guangping’s mouth has never spared anyone. Even though he changed his unit, he still likes to smash his old colleagues.

   "Hey, how come this has no meaning, the future mobile phone comes from the future! How great this is."

  Qian Chen talked about the accent of the Beijing-Tianjin area and argued with Zhou Guangping.

   "Okay, stop making noise!"

  Xia Jingxing turned his gaze to the obese man in his early thirties sitting in the corner who was silent. He smiled and asked, "Zhaojiang, what do you think? What name should we choose?"

  Zhu Zhaojiang was taken aback for a moment, "Mr. Xia, you call me?"

The person next to    noticed this scene and couldn't help smiling.

  These smiles made Zhu Zhaojiang feel even more embarrassed.

  All those present were big bosses from foreign companies. They were either from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or they had studied abroad. He was a local turtle who graduated from a domestic undergraduate with the lowest degree and had never studied abroad.

  Moreover, he also comes from the fighter of domestic mobile phone-Bird mobile phone.

  Xia Jingxing noticed that Zhu Zhaojiang was a little nervous and smiled kindly, "Just say, today everyone can speak freely, and you can put forward any ideas."

   "Okay, then I'll talk about it."

  Zhu Zhaojiang slowly analyzed, "Mr. Xia, you named the mobile phone we plan to develop as a smart phone. Avant-garde, fashion, and technology are its characteristics."

  How many people show disdain at this level?

  They didn’t know how Xia Jingxing fell in love with this little fat man.

  I heard that this person started as a salesman. He joined Bird as soon as he graduated from university ten years ago. He started as a salesperson selling pagers and gradually became the executive deputy general manager of Bird.

  Why did the other party join Xia Jingxing’s mobile phone company?

  They speculated that the fighter waveguide in the mobile phone is about to die, and it is said that this year it has suffered a huge loss of several hundred million.

  With the introduction of mobile phones with new features such as camera and music, the life of domestically-made mobile phones with weak technology has become more and more difficult.

  Foreign brands have also adjusted their strategies in the Chinese market, continuously launching low-priced mobile phones to encircle and suppress domestic brands.

  The most speechless thing is that there are also many black workshops of domestic mobile phones, and the quality is uneven, which basically ruins the reputation of domestic brands.

  Good birds choose trees to live in. In their opinion, it is not surprising that Zhu Zhaojiang gave up the sinking waveguide and chose to accept the olive branch thrown by the wealthy Xia Jingxing.

  It’s just that they feel that Zhu Zhaojiang must be incapable of this. He only sells domestic mobile phones and lacks an international perspective.

  Xia Jingxing does not have so many messy thoughts, and has never thought of underestimating domestic brands.

  This is the debt that has been owed since the late Qing Dynasty. How can it be tied so well? The waveguide is still good.

  Especially Zhu Zhaojiang. In ten years, a front-line salesman who just graduated from a university became an executive vice president. Can you say that he has poor ability?

  The most important thing is that the other party is the founder of Transsion Mobile, known as the king of mobile phones in Africa.

  Xia Jingxing originally tried to contact the other party to see if the other party was willing to join his company.

  As a result, Zhu Zhaojiang flew to the capital in person and talked with Xia Jingxing for a whole day.

  After Xia Jingxing’s persuasion, the other party dismissed the idea of ​​starting a business, and planned to join Xia Jingxing’s mobile phone company to learn one or two.

  In addition, Xia Jingxing also promised that the time is right in the future, if the other party wants to go out and start a business, he will not stop him, and he can still invest.

  So, Zhu Zhaojiang happily accepted Xia Jingxing’s invitation and prepared to become the vice president of sales for the upcoming mobile phone company.

Zhu Zhaojiang pretended not to see the gaze of the person next to him, and said: "If I had no dazzling just now, this new type of smart phone can install many mobile applications, including games, music, video players, and even social networking site applications. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, “Yes, you read that right, and you can use your fingers for multi-touch, zoom in and out of web pages, the experience is definitely better than any current mobile phones and computers.”

  "If this is the case, I guess that the user group and Internet users fit together. Young people must be the main force in buying mobile phones. Nice and trendy names are necessary.

  After all, no one wants to pay a high price to buy a precious mobile phone home to be called a cat or a dog. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, motioning Zhu Zhaojiang to continue.

   "There are Apple computers in the United States, otherwise we would call it an orange phone, and the logo will also be made into an orange, which is simple and beautiful, and the name is easy to remember, which is very conducive to spreading."

  Xia Jingxing hesitated. They called Apple, and you called Orange. They were accused of plagiarism.

   However, on the other hand, this is also a deadly touch to Apple.

   Zhou Guangping, Lin Bing and others couldn't help nodding, thinking that the name was okay.

"I think it's good. I joined Apple in 1989, and I was responsible for helping Apple open up the market in the Bay of Bay Province. The common people feel quite new to this simple name, because before that, there were huge, large, medium, and Chinese people. Electronic brands like that."

  Deng Yuanyun worked at Apple before, and he nodded his head when he talked about all kinds of work in the past.

  In short, he really appreciates Apple's simple and memorable name.
