Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 122 I am the spokesperson for MIOS

Of course Chen Mo didn't really go out to play, but instead asked a soul-searching question, "Does Google work overtime?"

Andy looked at him strangely. "Overtime, how can an IT company not work overtime? Google doesn't just work the standard 8-hour workday. Overtime is also our norm. As long as the benefits and overtime pay are adequate, employees are willing to work overtime."

Chen Mo fell into self-doubt. Could it be that the influence of his past life was too profound? Was his one-size-fits-all approach to overtime work too black and white?

Wouldn't it be better if everyone could make their own arrangements based on the content of their work while providing adequate remuneration?
I feel this issue can be further studied, and we'll try to find a win-win solution. This will be documented!
As the communication deepened, some of Andy's views coincided with Chen Mo's, while some of them gave Chen Mo new thoughts.

For example, don’t tie performance to growth: if the two are tied together, people lose their ability to learn because they feel that if they make a mistake they will lose career or financially, so they will argue instead of keeping an open mind to learn and grow.

After listening to this, Chen Mo agreed deeply. Just like you should never treat your hobby as a job, otherwise the hobby will be mixed with other factors, and the hobby will no longer be pure, and it will no longer be a hobby. Some of these principles make sense.

For example, focus on the worst and best performers:

Excellent employees should be put under a microscope, and their characteristics should be analyzed and replicated. The best way is to let them act as mentors to teach relevant skills and share their experiences.

Make use of the barrel effect to make up for shortcomings and be compassionate to employees with poor performance. If there is no mistake in recruitment, then most employees in trouble are because they have not found a suitable job, not because of their own clumsiness or lack of effort. Helping them learn or find new roles is the next important action, rather than trying every means to disgust such people and make them voluntarily resign!

If the above efforts fail, they need to be fired immediately, even if the company has to pay compensation.

It is not kind to let them stay in the company. Instead of making each other suffer, they may be happier in an environment where they are not the worst.

An hour later, the two returned to the starting point. In addition to visiting the landscape of Google headquarters and experiencing its working atmosphere, Chen Mo also learned the corresponding corporate management methods. It was truly a worthwhile trip.

After this trip to Google, Chen Mo gained a better understanding of how to manage a team and even manage a company, combining his original thoughts and ideas.

Before leaving, Chen Mo took a photo with Uncle An, and finally hugged him and invited him to visit China if he had the chance, and he would definitely welcome him.

It's just that when Chen Mo wanted to express the greeting of making a clean bed, he didn't know how to translate it, so he could only say "Welcome to my clean bed"

Under Andy Rubin's strange look, Chen Mo waved and left.

Originally, Chen Mo wanted to go to Apple headquarters before returning from Google, intending to meet Steve Jobs in order to avoid not being able to see him in a few years. But it turned out that not only was he not allowed to enter Apple, he was not even allowed to enter the door.

Of course, I respect Steve Jobs and Chen Mo, but Apple, in the hands of a gay old man, became a company that is keen on environmental protection and has mastered the art of cake cutting. Haha~tui~
On this day at the end of August 2010, Chen Mo took a selfie of himself standing alone at the gate of Apple headquarters, with his middle finger holding up the Apple logo!

When Chen Mo returned to the hotel again, his backpack was a little bigger than before he left. In addition to the newly bought DV and camera, there were also gifts for the two bosses.

When Lei Jun and Lin Bin received the brand new iPhone 4 from Chen Mo, they were very surprised and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Especially Lei Jun, he has wanted an iPhone 4 for a long time, but he has been too busy recently and forgot about it.

Chen Mo waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, and said, "We are all in the same circle. We will meet each other sooner or later. We will definitely fight in the future. Just think of it as knowing yourself and the enemy in advance to win every battle! It should be said that Old Joe is indeed the best product manager in the world."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lei Jun nodded in approval. After all, anyone should show some respect to a man who can change the world several times.

Afterwards, Chen Mo demonstrated the results of this trip.

It was a notebook, some photos and a VCR.

When Lei Jun saw the photo, the corners of his mouth twitched.

In the photo, a Mediterranean foreigner holds a mobile phone in one hand and gives the camera a thumbs-up with the other hand. The most amazing thing is that the sun shines on his head and there is some reflection.
When they saw the contents of the VCR, Lin Bin had a strange look on his face, looking at Andy Rubin, who was full of praise and spoke very highly of MIOS. He had the impression that this guy was not like this.

Especially when I heard my friends on the screen saying "beautiful" on the left, "amazing" on the right, and finally "unbelievable"
Lin Bin looked at Chen Mo, very curious, "How did you convince him to agree to record the video?"

"I can only say that we have the same interests and everything will work out naturally." Chen Mo laughed. He would definitely not tell Lin Bin that he recorded the VCR three times before he was satisfied with it. In the end, even old Andy complained that it was like filming a movie.

However, Lei Jun felt as if he had seen this scene before, but couldn't remember it for a moment. He asked Chen Mo, "How do you plan to use it? Send it to the team to boost morale, or keep it as a souvenir?"

"NONONO, this is such a waste of resources. I am going to put it on the top of the MIOS forum. With the endorsement of the father of Android, it is like Di Renjie having the Kanglong mace, Yuan Chonghuan holding the imperial sword, and Chang Wei wearing a yellow jacket. MIOS is the customized system officially stamped and certified by Android. The rest are just brothers. Please step back.

I want to shock the Chinese mobile phone industry a little bit, what is the top marketing! "Even though Lin Bin had deep dark circles under his eyes, it did not prevent him from widening his eyes after listening to Chen Mo's rebellious speech.

Lei Jun also lamented the guy's ferocity and shamelessness, "Be careful that people sue us for infringing on their portrait rights, or I will have to pay to cover the loss for you."

Just as he finished speaking, Lei Jun suddenly had an idea. He remembered and scolded with a smile, "Isn't this the Golden Voice advertisement that Ronaldo was inexplicably endorsed in the past?"

After Lei Jun's reminder, Chen Mo still remembered this incident. After all, even though he was not a football fan, Ronaldo's name was still well-known to him who was born in the 80s. There were Zidane, the God of War Batistuta, Baggio, and Carlos, the cannon defender.

He remembered that a few years ago, Jinshengzi lozenges were on the verge of bankruptcy and could not afford big-name endorsements. At that time, the Brazilian national football team came to China for a friendly match.

Jiang Peizhen, the head of Golden Voice, came up with an idea and tried another way. Since she couldn't afford the endorsement fee of several million or tens of millions of dollars for a superstar, she decided to spend 30 dollars to treat Ronaldo to a meal.

After all, who would complain about too much money? Ronaldo's agent agreed.

As a result, on the day of the dinner, Jiang Peizhen arranged a group of media and reporters. She first handed Ronaldo a Brazilian football team jersey with "Golden Voice Lozenges" printed on it. Ronaldo did not know Chinese characters, and it would be difficult to refuse the jersey of his motherland in public, so he put it on.

Then Jiang Peizhen handed him a box of Golden Throat when they took a photo together. Ronaldo thought these people were quite polite, paying for food, treating him to a meal, and giving him souvenirs, so he smiled and cooperated in taking the photo.
As soon as the Brazilian cousins ​​left, Jiang Peizhen started advertising on CCTV. The momentum was really loud with drums and firecrackers. It was quite a sensation at the time, almost comparable to "No gifts this year".
Jinsuozi’s fame spread across the country in a short time, and the factory was revived and reached its peak.

Ronaldo was very angry when he learned about this later, but at that time his attention was on the court, mainly because international litigation was too troublesome and he was too lazy to argue. He just thought that Oriental people were extremely cunning.

This fraudulent advertisement was broadcast for 4 years, which later aroused the dissatisfaction of Ronaldo's fans in China. They protested and called the Golden Throat Lozenges a fraud.

Jinsuozi was not convinced, saying, "Didn't you say I couldn't invite big names?" Later, he actually got another big-name Brazilian player: Kaka. Of course, he didn't cheat, but spent real money to get a real endorsement.

Coming back to his senses, Chen Mo defended himself, "This is different. I told Uncle An that I would put it on the MIOS forum, and our system is free, and we didn't take a single penny from netizens. Of course, if Uncle An has any objections, at most we can just fix the remaining Android bugs we found when developing MIOS. This is no better than paying for it~"

Lei Jun snorted, "Nonsense, I'm also a technician, we know about bugs and vulnerabilities, how do you fix the Android system? Send Andy an email to give feedback?"

"No need to bother, I got Android developer permissions this time."

"Huh? How is that possible?" Lin Bin was surprised. He didn't know what Andy had talked to him about that made him authorize the Android system development rights to Chen Mo.

"You thought I was just sightseeing during those two days. I used all the English words I learned in my life. Maybe Andy saw that I was gifted and had great potential, so he wanted to take me in as his disciple. He only gave me the developer privileges of a branch, not the administrator. It's nothing impossible~"

Lei Jun saw that Chen Mo was getting more and more out of tune, so he laughed and scolded, "Didn't the Google CEO invite you to dinner?"

"He didn't invite me to dinner, but he wanted me to marry into his family as his son-in-law. I told them that my body and heart belong to Xiaomi, so they should give up on that idea!"

"You're talking nonsense. Her daughter might not even be out of kindergarten yet. How can you bear with that? Get out of here now and don't affect our work!" Lei Jun scolded and laughed as he drove the guy away.

In the following period of time, Lin Bin continued to lead the team to study the contract which was like a sacred book.

Lei Jun was studying his newly acquired iPhone 4 over and over again, and couldn't let it go. He thought every day about how to align Xiaomi's first generation smartphone with the iPhone 4. From time to time, he would run to Chen Mo's room with a few pieces of paper he had drawn to exchange ideas.

As for Chen Mo, he did not come to Silicon Valley for nothing. When Xiao Lei came over to talk about the phone, he told him about the situation of MIOS and his own plan.

"Ok, just go ahead and do it. I think it's fine. Very good! What do you think of our mobile phone design like this?"

"Wait a moment." Chen Mo directly packed up the plan and materials and sent them to Huang Jiangji's email, and called him to make corresponding arrangements.

After coming back, I discussed the appearance of the phone with Xiao Lei.

".I don't think that's possible. iPhone only has one home button, but you have three. How ugly is that~"

Lei Jun was criticized and quickly explained, "This is what I think."
