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

Chapter 130 Chen Mo's Latest Appointment

"Eh? You're not promoting it in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, right? Okay, I've got that in mind. We'll go wherever Mr. Chen points. You can be assured that I, Zhang, will be in charge! We'll see the effect of the promotion when the time comes."

"Okay, let's do this for now. Sorry for the trouble~"

"It's just a small matter. Mr. Chen, you are too polite to say that. Thanks to your help and support, we can launch our full-scale attack today. I feel guilty that I couldn't make it last time. We'll meet next time. You must give me this opportunity no matter what!"

"Next time, for sure! Next time, for sure! By the way, I have something to tell you later. I sent you an email. Go to any city and find an internet cafe. Follow the instructions step by step! Don't leave any clues."

"Understood, Lao Zhang will take care of things, don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo returned to his workstation and spent half an hour writing an email to Zhang Changfa.

Since the launch of the Android and iOS versions of WeChat, the WeChat project team has returned to its original workstations, and now WeChat is no longer a secret.

After Chen Mo's adjustment, the WeChat team sat next to him at the workstations of the third department to facilitate communication, and Huang Jiangji was placed on the MIOS side.

In this way, in addition to controlling the overall three departments, Chen Mo will focus part of his energy on WeChat, while Huang Jiangji will be mainly responsible for the development of MIOS.

The next task of the WeChat technical team is not the subsequent iteration of WeChat, but to directly start the research and development of WeChat for PC.

This is when the necessity of sufficient preparation before the development of WeChat is reflected. This time the framework and the underlying layer are universal, and only the PC pages and corresponding functions need to be built on the upper layer, so the development cycle can be greatly shortened.

Just like building a house, the foundation and house structure basically do not need to be moved, just change the decoration style and house layout.

If the R&D cycle of WeChat mobile terminal is regarded as 1, then the R&D cycle of PC terminal is at most 0.5.

After some communication and confirmation, the PC version of WeChat will be launched on October 10.

After arranging the technology, Chen Mo called Duan Hongyan, the operations manager who was not far away.

I gave him a brief introduction to the background and capabilities of the All-Army Attack Team, and asked him to work with other operations colleagues to study WeChat's offline promotion strategies, target groups, placement locations, posters, etc. Finally, I also informed them of the dietary taboos for this operation.

I gave him Zhang Changfa's phone number and email address, and asked him to contact Zhang Changfa for follow-up matters.

Duan Hongyan took the order and left. Half an hour later, he led a few operations colleagues to a meeting.
After returning from a business trip, Chen Mo heard that some of his classmates had completed some of their unfinished work by working overtime at home, which was contrary to his original intention.

So the first measure we took when we came back was to abolish the overtime approval system that we had proposed before.

Since there is a problem, then solve it. It is true that overtime is sometimes unavoidable in this industry, so just make sure you pay the right amount and that's it.

In the remaining time, Chen Mo began to review all the codes of the three project teams. After all, he was on a business trip for a month. Not only did he have to advance the company's pace, but he also had to know the project codes of MIOS and WeChat thoroughly.

The first is to discover possible vulnerabilities and risks in the advance code in advance, and the second is to sort out the rationality and extensibility of the code by comprehensively considering it, so that if a problem occurs, you can immediately know where it is, instead of relying solely on the feedback from people below to make judgments.

This has nothing to do with trust, but is about increasing risk resistance and avoiding the possibility that the following information is incorrect and one blindly follows it, leading to a more serious situation.

Afterwards, Chen Mo did not dive in blindly, but first layered the project code into four categories: core, important, general, and details.

Read from high to low, and add comments if you find any problems. //TODO: Mark the problems and areas for improvement, and then @the author of this code.

As a result, Liu De from the first department came to check the code.
"Mr. Chen, are you free? I need to discuss the design of Xiaomi mobile phone with you."

"where?"

"My workstation!"

"Okay, three minutes. I'll come back to you after I finish reading this!" "Okay!"

Chen Mo quickly went over the function he was halfway through, and then went to find Liu De.

Later, he learned that the original draft of Xiaomi 1 designed by Liu De and Lei Jun was improved by Liu De and finally confirmed by Lei Jun, and there was no problem with it.

But the problem is that after the mobile phone design drawings were sent to the manufacturer, the other party confirmed them at first, but as the production of the mobile phone progressed.

The feedback from them was that it was impossible to achieve such size and thickness with the current level of technology, and Sharp also responded that the size of mobile phone screens was fixed and could not be customized.

Chen Mo quickly reported to Lei Jun, who took the lead in convening an impromptu telephone conference with several supplier leaders and Zhang Feng. In the end, they compromised with each other, and of course it was mainly Lei Jun who compromised, and the problem was finally solved satisfactorily.

However, the design of Xiaomi 1, which was originally imagined to be comparable to Apple's mobile phone, became a little rounder, with a slightly smaller screen and a little thicker after this meeting. It is almost short, thick and fat.
After the meeting, Chen Mo looked at the depressed Xiao Lei and patted him on the shoulder. "Brother Jun, this is Xiaomi. We have a lot of room for growth in the next two generations."

"If you can talk, then talk more."

On October 10, both sides of the 10Q war suddenly stopped fighting, as if they had entered a cooling-off period for their big moves.

In fact, as early as the 4th, after "opening two bottles of Moutai", the 360 ​​team was pulled by Zhou Hongyi to a base in Huairou, Beijing for a three-week closed development.

Because Zhou Hongyi had been tossing and turning for a while, always feeling that his means of counterattack were not enough to kill the enemy with one blow, he decided to create a software that could shake the foundation of Tencent, laying the foundation for everything in one fell swoop.

Internally, he named this closed development the "Nuclear Bomb Project"!
Lei Jun also started to take action. After calling Qiu Bojun, Fu Sheng and Xiao Ma Ge separately, he found that they all had the same intention to cooperate, so he acted as a matchmaker to bring them together.

It's nothing more than making some phone calls, organizing a group, letting them have a meal and chat, and confirming the general relationship. The rest is just to let the people get started.

At this time, Lei Jun didn't know that someone had already started building a nuclear bomb, and he was still worrying about how to build momentum for 360.

However, the most urgent task now is to slow down the momentum building, as Xiaomi’s funds are running out.

On October 10, Lei Jun, as the company's chairman, sent a "special" email to all employees of Xiaomi.

The email is about Xiaomi's plan to implement a stock ownership plan for all employees.

".In addition to sincerity and passion, only by truly making the mobile phone thing a success can we get rich rewards in the future.

Originally, the company was planning to raise funds from outside, but once we thought about it, since the company was founded, everyone has been working very hard and has achieved very good results so far.

Therefore, after several careful discussions, the company's top management still felt that allowing everyone to become entrepreneurs together before financing was the best way for Xiaomi to reward everyone.

In this way, our interests are consistent, our goals are consistent, and our actions are consistent.

Hence this email.

Of course, investing involves risks, so everyone should be cautious. It is best to discuss it with your family and make a decision after careful consideration.

The details are as follows: All formal employees can subscribe to Xiaomi's equity internally through investment, with a window period of three months;
Each employee has an investment cap of RMB 30.
Chairman of Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd.: Lei Jun

As soon as the email was sent, all Xiaomi employees were talking about it, but everyone had an excited expression on their faces.

Before their excitement had cooled down, they saw another email from the Human Resources Department.

This email is about Chen Mo's latest appointment.
