Chapter 193 I will fight for President Xie in this life! 5k monthly ticket request

"Morning, Mr. Xie. Here are the itinerary plans for this week and today's work items."

Early in the morning, a young girl who was transferred from the administrative department to the position of CEO's secretary walked into the office and spread out the documents and arranged them neatly in order.

He gently turned off the air conditioner and opened the window. The bright April sun wrapped in heat waves rolled over the cold air in the room. Then he changed the flowers in the vase and left the office without a single conversation.

At first, she had some fantasies about working side by side with the young and promising CEO, but Xie Jingxing always woke her up when she was dozing off at her workstation in the early hours of the morning.

No matter how early she arrived at the company the next morning, she could always see him sitting at his desk busy.

Facts have proved that the reason why successful people are successful is that they have abundant energy like a "nuclear-powered donkey", which is different from ordinary people.

The secretary should just do his job honestly and serve the leader in daily life like a nanny. Working side by side is the assistant's job!
Unfortunately, Mr. Xie still does not have a full-time assistant. Huang Baitao, the cousin of the company's general manager, Mr. Huang, is taking on the role part-time. I don't know what the follow-up arrangements will be.

"Boss Xie, are we still going to the cafeteria to have lunch today?"

At noon, the young secretary walked into the office again.

Xie Jingxing raised his head and twisted his neck to relax: "Has Mr. Zhang from Goodix Technology arrived?"

"Not yet. I've greeted the security guard and Mr. Zhang will notify me when he arrives." The secretary said meticulously.

"Call and ask if you need a car to pick you up."

Xie Jingxing opened the drawer of his desk and took out a cosmetics box: "I have dark circles under my eyes from staying up late. I heard from a friend that this Estee Lauder Little Black Bottle is quite useful. I'll give it to you."

"Mr. Xie, this is the little brown bottle, and Lancome's is the little black bottle." The secretary smiled happily and thanked.

Xie Jingxing stood up and shrugged: "I don't understand, I'm a straight man."

"You are too self-deprecating. A straight man would not specifically give cosmetics to girls. Yesterday, General Manager Huang praised you for being young, well-educated, and having good taste and pursuits, and asked your unsophisticated colleagues in the company to learn from you." The secretary blurted out from the bottom of her heart.

Xie Jing Xing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat first."

Song Anli can be used with an annual salary of one million, and the little assistant whose name I can't even remember can be used with a monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan. Everyone has value as long as they are used in the right place.

Huang Zhang's relatives actually wanted to isolate and exclude him. How adorable! In comparison, they are not even a hair as good as Su He.

After watching Xie Jingxing leave, the secretary collected the cosmetics gift, took a photo and sent it to the work gossip group.

Enjoying the admiration and praise from colleagues comfortably, I sent a message in the group: [Sisters, I have confirmed that Mr. Xie hardly leaves the office in the morning. ]

【What does it mean? 】

[It’s great to be young, Secretary Li is so lucky~]

Secretary Li blushed and said no more. Instead, he called Mr. Zhang from Goodix Technologies and urged him to come quickly.

On the other side, Xie Jingxing, who was going to the cafeteria to eat, was also looking at the group chat, the 'Yinshanbudu' board of directors group, summarizing the financial data for the first quarter of this year.

During this period, he remotely controls the investment decisions of Taihe and Xiyou in the morning, tracks the personnel changes and business progress of Yunhe Logistics in the morning, deals with Meizu's mess in the afternoon, and has to check the latest macroeconomics and emerging projects before going to bed at night.

Interspersed in the middle are the market operations of Yinshanbudu and other post-investment management work for various invested projects.

Everything takes time. If he continues like this, he will be close to Cheng Wei's state - walking fast, eating fast, and doing things faster than others.

The first two are acceptable, but the third one is absolutely unbearable!

“This braised pork is delicious.”

He thought viciously and stuffed the last piece of greasy braised pork with heavy oil and salt into his mouth.

"Our cafeteria chef used to prepare wedding banquets. His skills are amazing. Please try this meatball." An employee said.

Xie Jingxing waved his hands with a look of regret: "I'm too full, come back tomorrow."

In fact, he didn't like the big pot meals in the cafeteria at all. He just wanted to understand the working conditions of grassroots employees personally. Management is really difficult.

No matter what, we must thoroughly sort out the internal affairs of Meizu today and cannot delay any longer.

He has a lot of things to do, which does not include playing a down-to-earth role day after day and eating those damn meatballs with bland broth and a muttony smell!

…………

"You came so early, have you had lunch?"

Xie Jingxing hurried to the meeting room. Huang Zhang and Bai Yongxiang were both there. Only Li Nan and Yang Yan, who was in charge of the 'Flyme' system, were left.

Today's meeting is nominally a research and development project meeting for Meizu MXPro4. Among the new technologies that will be updated and iterated, two are of paramount importance and are innovative.

First of all, regarding the '2K screen', domestic manufacturers are currently in a somewhat Cold War arms race mood, frantically developing and scrambling to patent new technologies.

The United States has developed a mobile phone screen that claims to have "retina-level resolution", and Taiwan has followed suit and launched a 1080P high-definition resolution screen.

Naturally, China is not willing to be outdone. At the end of last year, OPPO released the world's first and even more awesome "2K screen" product.

Although this screen is awesome, it also has significant shortcomings. Existing mobile phone hardware cannot fully support the "2K screen" effect, which is reflected in the usage level - the phone becomes hot and the battery life is impotent.

So after a year or two of crazy arms race, mobile phone manufacturers have begun to reverse course and use the second-level 1080P screen.

It was not until ten years later, when the overall technologies of many mobile phone components, led by flexible screens, developed, that mobile phone manufacturers began to try "2K screens" again.

Xie Jingxing and Huang Zhang had a debate about this issue. The latter felt that since they wanted to make the 'MXPro' series a high-end flagship, they had to be more radical in adopting cutting-edge technology.

Xie Jingxing was finally convinced, but not because of Huang Zhang's reasons.

From a market perspective, if Xiaomi and OV phones all get hot, then it’s not my problem, it’s just a comparison of the worse.

From the perspective of power distribution, since he wants to integrate the supply chain, Huang Zhang has the right to make decisions on products.

There is no such thing as having both in this world. Power flows dynamically, and they had agreed on their respective boundaries before.

The most important thing is that the second new technology equipped in Meizu MXPro4 is awesome enough, it would be a pity not to use the '2K screen'.

"Mr. Chen from Goodix Technologies is downstairs, and Yang Yan and Li Nan are bringing him over." Bai Yongxiang reminded while looking down at his phone.

Huang Zhang put out his cigarette and stressed: "Pay attention to the confidentiality procedures of the meeting."

Xie Jing Xing remained silent, quickly flipping through a relevant technical document to avoid appearing timid later.

While everyone was getting ready, Li Nan and Yang Yan walked in with a middle-aged man with a square face, wearing a beige business short-sleeved shirt and with a typical science and engineering temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Xie, I'm Chen Fan."

After a brief greeting, the middle-aged man emphasized his self-introduction.

"Nice to meet you. Seeing is believing. Thank you very much for your hard work over the past two years."

Xie Jing Xing shook his hand vigorously: "Come on, please show us the results of your two years of hard work."

"Okay, I am very honored to be here and share with you our latest technological development, touch fingerprint recognition." Chen Fan announced slowly but firmly.

The heavy curtains blocked out the sunlight, and the network-free display screens glowed in the darkness, making the expressions of everyone present look particularly solemn.

Xie Jingxing was generous in his praise and applauded with an appreciative look.

Huang Zhang sighed softly. In the entire mobile phone industry, only Apple has fingerprint recognition function, and all its peers are trying to catch up.

Meizu is no exception. He contacted several foreign manufacturers, and the product ideas they provided all carried high voltage electricity, and the touch button feedback had a strong sense of electric current.

Apple has solved the problem with more advanced technology, which other manufacturers cannot do for the time being.

Last month, Chen Fan heard that there was a large capital investment in Meizu, so he took the initiative to approach them to introduce the fingerprint recognition function they had developed over the past two years, hoping to cooperate with Meizu in the development.

Huang Zhang felt that their technology was not as good as that of foreign manufacturers, and it was only after Xie Jingxing strongly recommended it that today's meeting was held.

"How long will it take to resolve the compatibility issue between your products and Meizu?"

Bai Yongxiang asked the first question, which involved the timing of mass production and sales of the product, the business he was responsible for.

"At most half a year. I brought the entire technical team here this time and booked a room at the nearby 7 Days Inn. We can be stationed at the production factory for a long time." Chen Fan was sincere. Yang Yan thought carefully and asked, "How safe is your technology? We need to consider connecting with other application software manufacturers in the future."

"Our security encryption technology module is the same as Apple's. Because they have a fully closed system and can make customized software, their technical implementation effects are better than ours in terms of cooperation with software vendors." Chen Fan answered truthfully.

Yang Yan didn't dare to ask any more questions. The so-called fully closed system was to save face for Meizu. The real situation was that Meizu did not have the capital to let software manufacturers customize software specifically for the Meizu operating system.

However, this problem is now easy to solve. The two most widely used scenarios for touch fingerprint recognition are currently only mobile phone unlocking and mobile payment.

Alibaba is a shareholder of Meizu, so it would be easy for it to customize an exclusive version of Alipay. If Ji Gang does not agree, then one has to question the ability of the company's new CEO.

In addition, Tencent is the second in the mobile payment market, which seems to have some explanation.

At once, everyone turned their eyes to Xie Jingxing. He asked cautiously, "Generally speaking, how many mobile phone sales can allow manufacturers to customize software?"

"About 800 million units. Basically, if the shipment volume of a series reaches 800 million units, you can ask the software manufacturer to customize it. The number for launching a product line is about this too." Li Nan responded positively.

Currently in China, only Huawei's high-end Mate series is linked to Alipay. If Meizu can cooperate with Alipay and WeChat, its marketing selling point will be unbeatable.

The world's first Android touch fingerprint smartphone, equipped with a super '2K screen', linked to offline mobile payment scenarios.

There is no need to run sales models or consider any factors. He dares to use all his 200 kilograms of muscle to guarantee that as long as the mobile phone is on the market, production will equal sales.

If you can’t do it, you can skin him alive!
"I will negotiate with as many companies as I can, but you also have to fight for me, including Mr. Chen." Xie Jingxing said to Chen Fan, but his eyes were looking at Huang Zhang.

All of Alibaba's products, including Dianping, Ele.me, Meituan, and Didi, the key projects he invested in are gathered in a wonderful way, covering all the mainstream application scenarios of fingerprint recognition today.

For him, mobile phones showed their charm for the first time.

It is ambiguous whether WeChat can join in. We need to talk to Zhang Xiaolong. The standard of regular shipments of 800 million units is indeed not low. You should know that the total shipments of all Meizu mobile phone models last year were only million units.

So he really needs these idiots in the conference room to fight for some momentum and not risk their reputation to get favorable resources. It would be too embarrassing if the sales of Meizu MX4Pro were poor.

Apparently he didn't want to play the Joker.

"Yang Yan, please communicate with Mr. Chen later."

Huang Zhang expressed his attitude concisely and concisely, saying that foreign manufacturers are unreliable, but at least in China we have Xie Jingxing to provide software solutions.

The choice itself was not difficult to make, but the feeling of having to make a passive choice made him somewhat uncomfortable, and he had not yet adjusted from the mindset of making decisions on a single word.

"Thank you Mr. Huang and all the bosses, as well as Mr. Xie for your trust. We will do our best!"

Chen Fan showed his determination with a little excitement, looking at Xie Jingxing with burning eyes.

Meizu is so useless that it can't be compared with anyone. But compared with Goodix Technology, whose annual net profit is less than 2 million, it is definitely a giant.

It was Xie Jingxing who gave him this opportunity. There was no doubt that from now on, Mr. Xie would be Li Shimin and he would be Li Ji!
"Don't be so quick to thank me. Our cooperation needs to be comprehensive. The production process of your 'touch fingerprint' chips needs to have annual expansion targets, optimize the production process, and include environmental protection and production safety in the contract."

Xie Jingxing said sternly: "To put it bluntly, you have to buy standard insurance for your employees and improve the production environment. Meizu has the right to inspect, and there will be punitive measures for those who fail to meet the standards, and the most serious case is to withdraw from the Meizu supply chain."

"…this?"

Chen Fan was stunned. This was Apple's standard and Samsung's goal, but it was not something that domestic mobile phone manufacturers cared about.

Sure enough, what is coming cannot be avoided.

Bai Yongxiang secretly held his breath, smacking his lips as he recalled the wine he drank last night. At this moment, it would be perfect if he could have a whole plate of peanuts with some wine.

Yang Yan was daydreaming. He was in charge of the technology and no one else was allowed to get involved.

Li Nan was shaking his legs with excitement, and was carefully observing Huang Zhang's face, which was visibly tense.

The atmosphere was subtle and quiet. Xie Jingxing tapped the table with his fingers actively: "I know this is quite demanding for your current situation, so the requirements will not be very high in the early stage."

"If we want to produce products with a shipment volume of tens of millions in the future, a high-quality supply chain is indispensable. For this reason, we are willing to lay the foundation from now on and grow together."

He slowly offered a sweet treat: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as the supply contract is finalized, both I and Meizu will not mind taking practical actions to support you, such as strategic investment or technical financial investment."

Practice has proved that the Android touch fingerprint technology jointly developed by Goodix Technology and Meizu has been a great success. As a result, the former benefited from it and completed its A-share listing in just two years.

When all Android brands in the world adopted Goodix Technology's touch fingerprint unlocking technology, its market value once exceeded 100 billion yuan.

People praise Meizu as the flagship of domestic mobile phone manufacturers, not based on sales volume, but rather on its first domestic smartphone design after Apple.

It was jokingly called a free operating system when you buy a mobile phone, and it was copied by countless peers and used as a template for UI design ten years later.

It also developed the first Android touch fingerprint technology from scratch, in an attempt not to be a dog for Qualcomm or to compete with Android.

It must be admitted that there have been successes and failures in every attempt, but it deserves the title of domestic flagship because of its courage to try.

Xie Jingxing wants to use Goodix Technology as a model house and try to formulate supply chain standards again. If he fails, he will die. If he succeeds, he can brag about the slogan of "domestic flag" for another 20 years!

"We can be the first in many ways and we don't force it, but we are honored to be the first one. This is the value proposition and aesthetic pursuit of Meizu."

He set a strong tone and established an absolute brand concept, and pushed the united front thinking to its fullest.

Stand up straight and look around the room. Who is in favor and who is against?
Chen Fan was the first to agree. It is not that there are no other manufacturers in the market that have provided touch fingerprint solutions. Everyone is competing in speed. Whoever develops it first and popularizes it in the market will have the last laugh.

In order to save time, he forcibly shortened the product development cycle, carried out development and testing simultaneously, and the R&D costs soared and money was burned like crazy.

The company's only external investor, MediaTek, sent people to the company to check the accounts, inquire about the situation and keep a close eye on the progress.

Now the top investors are sitting in front of him and saying, just focus on making good products, and I will work with you to develop technology and popularize the market, and I will invest in you to expand your production capacity.

So I have to ask him whether he agrees or disagrees - I will fight for President Xie all my life!

Li Nan was the second to agree. He was responsible for a loss of at least 500 million yuan a year. Without an integrated supply chain, he would be powerless.

Bai Yongxiang wanted the real power of a president and did not want to be the chief eunuch serving the royal family.

Yang Yan had nothing to say. His heart was itching for customized software. He had never fought such a rich battle in his life. Customized touch fingerprint software + underlying system development in cooperation with Alibaba Cloud, his life was already full of regrets.

4 vs. 1.

A flame lit up in the darkness, and Huang Zhang lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled smoke: "Mr. Chen, our packaged cooperation plan involves a lot of things, you should think it over carefully."

Chen Fan had no choice but to leave the meeting room. Bai Yongxiang quietly opened the heavy curtains, and the sunlight shone into the office again.

Xie Jingxing rested his chin on his hand in a relaxed posture, playing with the model phone equipped with a touch fingerprint chip. Only the Apple 5S and the phone in his hand made him instinctively feel that it had the texture that a phone should have ten years later.

"Let's adjust the board's charter. Lao Bai and Yang Yan, come in." Huang Zhang finished smoking his third cigarette, put down his lighter and suggested.

Since he cannot control it by force, he might as well add some sand in the sand and expand the number of board seats to 11, including several executives and his relatives who hold shares through third-party institutions.

“The supply chain problem cannot be solved all at once, so we should start from two aspects.”

Xie Jingxing took over the conversation without commenting: "First of all, for companies like Goodix, I and the company will provide strategic investment support based on the situation and cultivate long-term direct suppliers."

"Second, not all of our current suppliers are in China. We need to come up with a set of effective production standard audit solutions and try them out with suppliers in Europe and the United States first."

He said with a bit of annoyance: "Their production environment is better than ours, and basically meets our production standards. As for domestic suppliers, let's do this for now, mainly expanding production capacity, and gradually replace them when Goodix Technology's direct suppliers grow up."

"You decide. You take care of the management. I won't be able to devote my energy to the product."

The exchange of interests went more smoothly than Bai Yongxiang had expected. Huang Zhang took away the power of the board of directors without any struggle, and Xie Jingxing stopped at the right time and tightened the supply chain.

On the surface, these two people seem to be very loving and harmonious, with the man working outside and the woman working inside, they are a perfect match.

Huang Zhang's cousin's childish palace fighting tactics were resolved in a few words without causing any ripples.

I feel inexplicably regretful. If I had known this would happen, I would have just expressed my stance!
Bai Yongxiang was in a complicated mood. When he looked up, he accidentally met Xie Jingxing's eyes and quickly showed a sincere smile.

"The company's internal framework has been sorted out. Next, I will go on a business trip to talk to software vendors like Tencent. Lao Bai, please take some time to negotiate with Qualcomm and strive to use Qualcomm chips in the next model."

Xie Jingxing said lightly.

Bai Yongxiang's expression froze. The young CEO was narrow-minded. It seemed that he could not sit on the fence anymore.
