Chapter 178: Lu Tao, who doesn't rely on his father and has upgraded his talent by more than ten levels
Ten minutes later, Wang Chengguang was still talking to Gu Jingjing in private, such as what to eat in the evening...

Jack Huang seemed to have woken up from a dream. He stood up, looked around, and apologized hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I really didn't expect the M8 to have such a malfunction, and it's two phones so soon."

"We have sold nearly 8 units, and more and more of them will fail. I have just given it a lot of thought. I am afraid that recalling all Ms will cause Meizu to go bankrupt..."

"The most I can do is go back and talk to the touch screen supplier and ask them to improve the production quality or remake it. If we sell another 200,000 or 300,000 units, it will be fatal if more problems like this occur. I also have to slow down the production of the phones in the factory..."

"These are just too big. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

After he apologized repeatedly, he said solemnly, "Mr. Wang, did you come to me twice? As long as it's not about raising funds to invest in my Meizu, everything else is fine. What you reminded me today is too important. Now the sales volume is less than 10 units. Once it reaches or units, this big problem will explode."

"Meizu phones really need to..."

He died midway!!

Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't know... Jack Huang didn't have any cheats, and he wasn't as influential as Brother Gaizi's parents. He was truly a genius.

However, this person defeated Apple's iPod in the MP3 era.

He is Lu Tao who has no father to rely on, and his talents and abilities have been upgraded to more than a dozen versions! !

With this thought in mind, Wang Chengguang felt a little reluctant to leave Bengbu.

He asked Gu Jingjing to make some new tea again, and said, "Actually, my appointment with Mr. Huang is not a big deal. I don't want to invest in your Meizu, but I want to reach a cooperation with Meizu mobile phones, so that we can develop a chat software and install it."

"I won't talk about the Meizu M8 that has already been put on the market and sold, but it would be great if we could have this kind of cooperation for the ones that will be shipped in the future."

Jack Huang was shocked. "So simple? No, you are backstabbing the big penguin. Meizu phones don't have a mobile phone penguin number yet. The main reason is that the system is incompatible. But many users are calling on Xiao Ma Ge to develop a new version."

"Isn't Mr. Wang one of the major shareholders of Big Penguin? It's a bit strange to stab himself."

Wang Chengguang, “…”

He took a sip of tea and smiled, "There is no shortage of challengers to Penguin in the chat software market. Penguin can be defeated again and again in other fields such as B2B, C2C, including Weibo, web navigation, etc., but it can recover as long as it has a Penguin account."

"I only took a little over 14% of Penguin, which is not as reliable as trying to start Spark Chat."

Jack Huang was thoughtful. "No problem. This cooperation is easy to discuss. You can bring the contract to me anytime to sign. If there is nothing else, I will go back to Zhuhai. The problem with the touch screen of the smartphone is a disaster."

"Next time I will definitely visit Mr. Wang with sincerity and a thank you gift..."

It is no wonder that he was one of the founders who had been squatting on the Meizu forum every day a few years ago, interacting with consumers every day. He was usually the first to know about problems with MP3. In the early days, he paid great attention to user experience.

However, this person also has major character flaws. For example, he only pays the core team very low salaries, which seem to be easily poached by outsiders. Lei Jun, who wanted to invest in Meizu, was shocked by this and asked him what he would do if his team was poached?
Jack Huang’s answer has always been that if he leaves, I’ll do it myself!
Moreover, the business grew bigger and bigger, becoming more of a family business, with many relatives joining the company and taking on senior management positions.

It does not matter if a relative is just getting a salary at a low level and just muddling through for a living in a large company. But if he is appointed to a high level, it will be unbearable. In a modern large company, not every family can come up with so many high-quality talents.

Wang Chengguang arranged for his eldest cousin to join Xinghuo, where she would work in a small cleaning department and receive a salary, with free time to take care of little Wang Lei. She would not be a senior executive, and his relatives basically had no talent to become big shots in Weibo, media and other departments.

He suppressed his complaints again, "Mr. Huang, there is no need to rush at this moment. In addition to the touch screen not working properly, the M8 has other problems, such as automatic freezing, poor signal for making and receiving calls, and even being unable to hang up or answer calls, etc."

"I'll bring the other problematic phones to you later. I'll also give you some small suggestions. You can listen to them."

Jack Huang was stunned for several seconds again, then nodded, "President Wang, just speak frankly."

Wang Chengguang sat down and said, "I recommend this to you when your phone has major problems with the touch screen not working, freezing, poor signal quality, and other basic errors."

"It is better to suspend production and sales, and go to the bank for a loan, and use the loan to solve the quality problem again. If the quality is good, the next production and sales will explode."

"Of course, it's up to Mr. Huang to decide whether to listen or not."

Jack Huang thought about it, "The M8 actually has so many major problems? Going to the bank to get a loan to avoid compensating users for problematic phones and going bankrupt is a good idea, but it will affect... I'm afraid it's easy to borrow money but hard to pay it back."

Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's up to you whether you listen or not. I've heard a lot about Mr. Huang and I know you value the consumer experience. That's why you beat the iPod in the MP3 market."

"I invited Mr. Huang twice because I sincerely hope to make progress together with him."

Jack Huang's expression was confused for a few seconds, and he complained, "Don't you know that after what happened with Xiao Ma Ge, this sentence of yours has become a weird saying that everyone on the Internet is complaining about?"

"Although some people say that I have turned Meizu into a family business, I usually don't agree with that, but... when I look into my heart, I am sure that Meizu is now a semi-family business."

"When facing a super-large company head like you, Mr. Wang, I won't hide anything."

When Gu Jingjing came over with tea, Jack Huang thanked him again. Wang Chengguang made a phone call and asked people to send other problematic phones over. Only by concentrating on large-scale use in advance to identify the problematic phones would it be shocking enough.

………………

An hour later, when he saw Jack Huang off, his expression when he left was as if the sky had fallen. As a first-line MP3 pioneer, he had also built a business empire.

Jack Huang decided to switch to mobile phones after he found that the MP3 market was getting worse and worse and the overall prospects were not good. This was when Nokia, Motorola and countless copycat factories were all producing old-fashioned feature phones and looked down on popular mobile phones.

He launched the smartphone for the Chinese market earlier than Apple 3GS in North America.

If the foundation was not laid well, you would not have collapsed halfway.

Watching Jack's departing figure, Gu Jingjing said with emotion, "This phone is really good. The screen is not working, the signal is not good, and it freezes... It really can't compare to the beauty of the big screen. These are all things that can be overcome with patience."

She had used the first generation of Ai Pao before and thought the big screen was very beautiful, but the first generation of Ai Pao could not access the Internet.

M8 is the one that is really fun for surfing the Internet on a big screen.

Wang Chengguang nodded. "It depends on what he chooses. If he goes to the bank to get a loan now, and some foundations are laid, this phone will really take off, at least dominate in the mainland."

The Aipao 6GS will be released in North America in June this summer, but it will not be available in China until October. The 3GB version of the Aipao 10GS for China Unicom is priced at 3 yuan, and the 8GB version is naturally more expensive.

The Meizu M8 is nearly as pretty and can surf the Internet, but costs more than 2000 yuan? How can it beat the iPhone 3GS? The advantage of the iPhone 8GS is its iOS operating system, which is more user-friendly than the Meizu M's Windows CE.

It is only April 09, and the Android system has not exploded too strongly. It was not until the Meizu M4 in 2011 that the Android version was launched. Gu Jingjing laughed, "If he is willing to listen to your advice, his career will definitely be further advanced. But I heard that this person has a super patriarchal style in the company."

She said that the touch screen was not working, the signal was bad, the phone was frozen, etc., but she could just put up with it because she was so pretty. That was because she knew that she was already a super rich woman, and a mobile phone cost more than 2000 yuan, so she would just buy a few more if there were any minor problems.

It is impossible for most normal consumers to tolerate this.

Wang Chengguang nodded, "If the cooperation goes smoothly, and WeChat is bound to the installed software, with a few more rhythms, even if Xiao Ma Ge reacts, it will be completely slow."

The first generation versions of MiTalk, WeChat, etc. became popular overnight because it is a social app for people who are familiar with each other and is used to contact people in the address book... and in the address book, sending text messages and MMS between relatives and friends requires payment.

Being charged for text messages by several major telecom operators is like cutting into the flesh of several giants.

They would also take action, so after entering the 10s, Xiao Ma Ge became more and more gentle, and Wang Chengguang also had to face such problems.

It's just that his tribute songs are still generating profits for China Mobile, and he has many acquaintances, but in certain locations, no matter how much text message fees China Mobile collects in a month, they are not distributed to individuals.

"Let's arrange a visit when we're really online."

It is easy for WeChat to kill MiTalk. Just search for people nearby, plus the terrifying foundation of mobile phone Penguin accounts, and it can easily suppress MiTalk.

The real competition takes place among the major telecom operators.

Of course, if Pony Ma can handle it, so can he. At worst, he can continue to ask ICBC for financing. After all, Spark Payment will sell at least 10% to ICBC in the future.

If ICBC is not enough, you can sell 10% to China Mobile.

The development of Spark WeChat is easier than the mobile version of Penguin. The rare thing is business war. However, when the time is right, the Spark payment client will be launched... It can also be integrated with WeChat, such as embedding payment into WeChat payment and change.

Transferring money among acquaintances, parents no longer have to give paper money to their children for change. The combination of WeChat change and QR codes and other technologies, with a series of leading positions, will give China a chance to share the world with the big penguin and become one of the two poles.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengguang felt strange again. The founder of MiTalk and the head of Xiaomi mobile phone is now following Jack Huang to learn from him and he highly respects him.

The two sides turned from friends to enemies after 2010. Rumor has it that Jack trusted Lei Jun too much, and taught Lei Jun how to make Xiaomi mobile phones from scratch to the launch of Meizu M9.

Jack Huang did not accept and did not reach an agreement on the financing investment from Lei Jun, mainly because Lei Jun did not want Meizu to become a family business of the Huang family, so he used another way to make mobile phones.

Gu Jingjing smiled and said, "Since you have postponed all other appointments in the afternoon, why don't you put on makeup now? If you put on makeup, I will put on makeup too, so that we can have a chance to go shopping while Sister Xiaowei is not around."

Wang Chengguang nodded. "Okay, let's go to the Internet celebrity department and make me look like a middle-aged man, darken my skin, make me hunchbacked, and give me two scars... The technology in this area seems to be very advanced."

It seems that Wang Manni mentioned putting on makeup before going out to play...

………………

It's about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Chengguang and Gu Jingjing were still changing their looks under the makeup of several female makeup artists when they saw one or two heads popping up from time to time outside the large dressing room.

After he had a pair of fake eyebrows pasted on him, he interrupted the makeup artist and looked outside, "Come in, everyone. What do you mean by looking so sneaky?"

Without looking closely, you can tell that they are Yang Tao, Xu Hongdou, Chen Nanxing, Lin Xia and other female internet celebrities. After entering the room, these people are also single and apologize one by one. It was Yang Tao who explained with a smile, "Boss Wang, we just want to find you to report the mission."

"Since Hongdou and I started this, in the past few months or half a year, I followed your instructions and took out a loan to buy a house in advance. This quickly made me hundreds of thousands, or even nearly a million."

"The whole internet is going crazy again. I don't know how many netizens are envious and jealous. There are some people who listened to Miao Miao's advice and bought a house during the Olympics. They scolded Miao Miao during the real estate winter, but now that the prices are gradually rising, they are apologizing."

"In February, those who heard Sister Jingjing's Weibo post about buying a house in Pengcheng also celebrated wildly online. They bought the house in February, and the price has basically increased by several hundred yuan per square meter, or more than a thousand yuan..."

"After we counted, we found that about 400 to 500 people said they made money by buying a house. We are not sure whether they really bought it or were just bragging."

At this point, she glanced at Xu Hongdou, who nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right. President Wang, do you want to continue pushing this topic? The last batch of people who got the welfare housing, whether they got it from our Xinghuo or were given away by Brother Xiao Ma, are also celebrating."

Wang Chengguang looked at the girls with a helpless look and said, "Let's talk business!"

Yang Tao, Xu Hongdou and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. After a few seconds, Xu Hongdou laughed awkwardly, "The point is, we can't believe that you are a billionaire, but you are willing to sacrifice yourself to satisfy Sister Jingjing's wish to go shopping and have fun?"

It looks like a serious work report, but in essence it is just gossip.

Wang Chengguang was speechless. “If you, the famous ones, don’t want to be surrounded by people and have no privacy, you can learn some techniques from a few makeup artists in private.”

"I can't guarantee that it will be effective, but it will definitely work if you go out to play at night. Okay, I've satisfied your wish to eat melons, and you can leave now."

Makeup is really one of the great magic arts. It is used all over Asia. If you get some different wigs or something, it’s not too bad to go out and have fun.

Wang Chengguang wondered if he was too nice to these pretty girls and not tough enough, otherwise why would they appear from time to time to eat the big boss's gossip so openly.

After they left and stayed in the dressing room for another half an hour, he went out with Gu Jingjing... Naturally, he attracted a lot of attention along the way. Of course, it is true that no one took pictures.

Wait until he feels more relaxed and walks out of the China World Trade Center without attracting too much attention.

After taking a look at the two new skills, Wang Chengguang was speechless.

Acting: average (112/500).

Makeup, Getting Started, (51/100).

The acting aspect is because he is now playing a hunchbacked, scarred middle-aged man whose height seems not so tall, and who still looks down and out and works 996. He lived for 40 years before the time travel, and it has been two years since the time travel.

There are many situations in daily life where acting skills are occasionally needed.

Makeup... I learned from several female makeup artists. I listened to them so many times that my skills improved dramatically.

It’s okay. Although the entry-level ordinary level is superficial and rough, after working hard to reach the excellent level, he can handle a lot of things without help from outsiders.
