Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1179: The Wolf-like Old Woman
The launch of the Raccoon phone had an explosive impact.
Apple, Nokia, Motorola, Google, BlackBerry, Sony...all are lamenting that the wolf is coming.
Among them, Jobs was the most deeply moved. Many things contained in the Raccoon phone were still in the conceptual stage at Apple. Apple lagged behind by a large margin, which made him temporarily enveloped in pessimism.
We can still catch up in technology, but if we are late in improving the ecological environment, it will be too late forever.
Before the launch of the Li mobile phone, Suri, the president of Li Company, had secretly visited a number of mobile phone manufacturers, inviting them to join the embrace of the "clay man" and work together to build the Li Store.
Li Store has a "30%-70%" plan, whereby all revenue from applications uploaded to Li Store will be split 30%-70% with Li Store. Other mobile phone manufacturers who apply the Niren system and connect to Li Store can share 70% of the 30% revenue.
Li Store is not a sub-function of Li Mobile Phone. It is an independent entity that shares profits with all participating mobile phone manufacturers.
This is simply terrible. Once the ecological environment of the raccoon store is completed, the iPhone will face a catastrophe.
Apple has always been a company that has its own set of rules. Its system is closed and not open to the outside world. But to continue doing so, there must be a prerequisite: Apple's products must be good enough, so good that users will follow Apple's rules.
“Is Apple good enough?”
Jobs' answer was no. Apple and the Riprap Group had competed before. Whether it was MP3 or MP4, Apple did not gain any advantage. Instead, it had to pay a considerable amount of patent royalties to the Riprap Group every year.
Compared to Jobs's worries, Nokia wanted to stick to its Symbian system; Motorola had many internal risks, and it had to stabilize the internal situation before it could resist external threats. At this moment, it had no energy to consider the system problems.
BlackBerry only wants to make the most of its own system and is temporarily dismissive of Clay Man; Google, looking at the Android it acquired, can only sigh and urge the team to launch a usable system as soon as possible; Sony is more pragmatic and is just waiting for the sales data of the Raccoon phone to come out. If the sales volume is considerable, it will immediately plan to develop Clay Man.
Will the sales of Raccoon phones be bad?
Obviously not.
Before going public, Li Mobile had done a lot of work, including communicating with almost all the popular platforms and software in North America, such as Real Online, TTM, TTM Book, EasyFlick, EasyMusic, Adam search engine, Amail, Amap, Real Payment, Amazon, eBay, etc., and developed APPs for the Niren system.
As soon as users get the Li phone, they will find that almost all the functions they need in daily life can be realized on the Li phone.
Before the release of the Li Mobile Phone, it had undergone several iterations internally, and it was entirely possible to introduce several iterations to users. However, the Li Mobile Phone chose to carry out the iterations internally, giving up considerable profits, with the aim of making a big splash and completely shocking other mobile phone manufacturers, thereby gaining a certain degree of discourse power over standards.
In places that most people cannot see or feel, Yinhou has become an activist a few years ago, actively promoting alliances among component suppliers and vowing to maintain a certain profit level for mobile phone components. Anyone who dares to lower the price below the agreed range will be attacked by other suppliers.
If one company sells at a low profit but quick turnover, it will only enrich itself and harm the interests of everyone else. If the profit is higher, you can earn more while improving the salary and benefits of your employees and increasing their spending power. This is a win-win for you, me and everyone involved.
The sales of Raccoon phones were booming, but Nan Youqiong paid no attention to them. He was at Shennong Nanliang's Arkansas farm at the time, attending a farewell party held by the farm to see off retirees and those whose contracts had expired as trainees sent by Ikeda.
There was no carefully prepared venue, no long speeches, no tears of emotion, just grills and beer ice buckets placed on the grass. Nan Youqiong, holding a beer bottle in his hand, came to the people who were about to leave, clinked the bottle and drank together, and then sincerely offered a sentence: "Shennong Nanliang thanks you for your dedication."
It would be a wonderful thing for a person to get the material satisfaction he deserves and also be respected for his personality.
James, a name with a similar rate to Zhang Wei in the United States. There are two Jameses among the retirees this time. At this moment, one of the James and Nan Youqiong were chatting about their life arrangements after retirement, where to go fishing, where to have a picnic, where to go horseback riding and hunting, which strip bar to visit, and everything about personal matters.
Facing a big boss who was at an unknown level, James had a very pleasant chat. Both sides had a common language. The big boss knew everything he said and was good at it. There was no need to see it with one's own eyes. Some things cannot be described without personal experience and are from the heart.
The climax of the farewell party was a mixed rally. The contestants included those riding horses, driving tractors, harvesters, all-terrain vehicles and other machinery. Each contestant drove his or her most familiar working tool and galloped across the abandoned farmland with accumulated fertilizer, having a great time.
As evening approached, employees of the farm service company affiliated with the ranch returned driving various large machines, and a new monster rally began.
The United States not only has large farms, but also small farms of medium size. For small farms, they can only equip themselves with basic agricultural machinery. When needed, they will place orders with agricultural service companies for large harvesters, ditch diggers, etc., and hire both people and agricultural machinery.
Shennong Nanliang usually carries out this kind of business. After all, the purchase and maintenance costs of large agricultural machinery are not low, and Shennong Nanliang is under great pressure to maintain agricultural machinery.
After the rally, there was a bonfire concert. With the background music of "The Golden Fist", Nan Youqiong, carrying two Springfield M1861 muzzle-loading rifles, performed a horseback shooting show for everyone.
The next day.
Nan Youqiong, who had integrated into the farm and ranch workers in Arkansas, appeared in Missouri again to attend a biological pesticide technology seminar held by a research institute under Shengli Pesticide. The speakers were a Chinese medicine practitioner and a biologist. The Chinese medicine practitioner talked about yin and yang, the five elements, and mutual generation and restraint, while the biologist talked about the latest research results on biology.
Shennong Nanliang already has a not very complete set of biological pesticide solutions, which are very costly and urgently need to reduce costs. Therefore, the pesticide-related research institute is divided into two parts. One part will improve the existing solutions, and the other part will start from the deeper level of the mutual promotion and restraint of nature, expand the vision, take into account the heaven, earth and man, and separate the five elements of pests from crops, and replace them with other plants that have no economic value or whose value is not in the ears and leaves.
In simple terms, it means conducting in-depth research on pests and cultivating a plant that is like delicacies and drugs to them for them to enjoy, so that they can stay away and not harm crops.
The genetic research institute under Fan Shengzhi is also studying the genes of pests. The goal is to make breakthroughs in the genetic map and create males and females with super strong courtship and mating abilities but low fertility, thereby reducing the reproductive capacity of pests.
…
May 2nd.
After breakfast, Nan Yi was busy in the yard adding nutrient soil into cans.
A retractable frame has been set up in the yard, which can reach about ten meters at its highest point. Nylon ropes are hung on the horizontal bars of the frame, with hooks at the ends of the ropes.
Nan Yi added nutrient soil into the cans and inserted the rice seedlings into the soil. Then he hung the cans on the hooks, one after another. He was busy for half the morning. When all the work was done, he extended the rack to the highest point so that the rice seedlings could receive sufficient light.
This is the rice-in-the-air plan that he came up with on a whim at the beginning of the year. It is currently only the first step of the experiment. If this step is successful, the next step will be to experiment with soilless cultivation instead of nutrient soil. The next step will be to remove the racks and cans, and let the rice seedlings float in the air with the help of the northwest wind, and also rely on the moisture brought by the northwest wind to nourish the rice seedlings.
Looking up, he watched the tinkling sounds in the air for a long time, then Nan Yi observed several meters mounted on the wall and recorded the wind speed, humidity, temperature and other data.
At noon, Nan Yi made himself some food and watched a comedy while eating.
After finishing his meal, he had only watched the beginning of the comedy film, so he thought of setting up a company to cooperate with video websites to specialize in short dramas of a few minutes in length.
"It seems that this kind of short play is very convenient for product placement..."
At first, Nan Yi wanted to instruct others to do it and just be a spectator, but when he thought about product placement, he couldn't help but think more deeply about it.
Nan Yi is leisurely, but Ruan Mei, who is already forty years old, is very busy.
The Artist Care Fund has officially entered the mainland and registered two branches in Beijing: Su Lai Company, which operates the celebrity fund custody business, and Fang Hua Company, which operates the image consulting business.
Fanghua Company is not only limited to the original plastic surgery business, but also includes image public relations, image building, etc. For example, if you want to create a wealthy image for yourself or your partner, as long as you pay, private jets, luxury fleets, and high-end yachts will be in place at any time. You can also paint designated text symbols on the plane or yacht, such as wealthy number, beloved wife number, etc. You can paint anything you want.
For example, if you want to walk the red carpet in Cannes or Berlin, you can arrange it and prepare the costumes, whether it is beggar's clothes, Northeastern flower cotton jacket, or dragon robe. If you want to break a shoulder strap and show off your misery while walking on the red carpet, or stumble and fall, these are not impossible, but the cost will be a little higher.
For example, if you want to win a Best Actor or Best Actress award, it won't be too difficult. You can win at the Congo International Film Festival, Haiti International Film Festival, or Northern Myanmar International Film Festival. If you don't care about these small awards, the Oscars are also fine. We can create an award specifically for our clients, and ensure that only the client will win this award, and there will never be another person to win it.
Other awards such as photography awards, architecture awards, cooking championships, etc. can also be arranged as long as the client needs them and the money is in place. As for mathematics awards and physics awards, even if they are desired, ordinary clients simply cannot handle the image of a top student, and it will only take a few minutes for them to be exposed. It would be bad if a joke of the Nobel Prize in Mathematics was made.
There has to be a bottom line when making money. Going ahead with the deal even though you know the customer won't accept it is not the right attitude to do business with. You might as well call it fraud.
At this time, Ruan Mei was meeting the bar owner Ren Baishui in a bar on Chaowai Street.
Ren Baishui was the candidate chosen by Ruan Mei for the vice president of Su Lai Company. He was a former schoolmate of Jiang Xuanyan and Wang Xiaomi. He opened a restaurant while he was in school. Later, he managed both filming and business. He filmed several popular TV series and expanded his business to bars. Now he is even thinking about investing.
He is a star, has a good reputation in the mainland, has many connections in the circle, and has a certain business acumen. He is more interested in doing business than filming. These combined reasons are the reasons why Ruan Mei chose him.
"I will give you an annual salary of 1 million in the first year, and you will get a 3% commission on the profits generated by the funds you bring back. On this basis, you can also get a dividend of 5% of the overall profit of Sulai Company.
In the second year, the company will evaluate you and allocate matching shares to you based on your performance, which may be 2% or 5%. In addition, you will be given a quota to purchase shares. You can purchase shares of the company no more than twice the amount of allocated shares.
Ren Sheng, please think about it. "
Ruan Mei picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
"I'll join." Ren Baishui agreed without .
If he was a second late, he would feel like a fool. The person in front of him was Ruan Mei, a non-famous actor and singer, the president of the Artist Care Fund, who had helped create several stars in Xiangkeng and become billionaires. Not to mention such a high salary, even if she didn't pay a penny, he would have agreed to it. Everyone knows that it's nice to take shelter under a big tree.
"Ren Sheng, welcome to join us." Ruan Mei shook hands with Ren Baishui. "Please come to Haidongqing Law Firm at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. We will sign a contract. If possible, I hope you can start working tomorrow afternoon. The company does not have an office space yet, so I want to leave this matter to you."
"No problem." Ren Baishui agreed readily.
After leaving the bar, Ruan Mei called Nan Yi, thinking about having dinner together, but Nan Yi refused, saying that he already had an appointment.
Nan Yi did have an appointment, and more than one. Half an hour ago, Xu Yunlei called him and said that Dugu Jian invited him to dinner, and he accepted. A quarter of an hour ago, Yi Qianxi also called , also to arrange dinner, but there was a conflict, so it was changed to afternoon tea.
Right in my own yard, I drink coarse tea with melon seeds and tank worms.
"I'm heartbroken."
Nan Yi shook the wire mesh on the fire to turn the tank worm over, "Congratulations, you can get a new one."
"I said, I'm heartbroken." Yi Qianxi raised her voice.
"Sincere congratulations."
Nan Yi turned the tank worms over again, picked out the ones with cracks, and put them in a glass bowl.
"Cousin, can you please listen to me carefully?" Yi Qianxi frowned and said angrily when she saw Nan Yi's careless look.
Nan Yi picked up a tank worm, peeled off the shell, put the pupa inside into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then took the second one.
"cousin."
"I heard it, what's the big deal about a broken heart? You're in your early 40s. If you really want to get married, you already have children. Don't fool yourself. You just can't live without a man. You're just looking for something new.
Tell Gong Xue that you like a young actor and invite him to film a love scene between an older woman and a younger man. Kissing scenes, sex scenes, swimming pools, bathing together, whatever you want. You can even be a little perverted. I’ll design a few slapping scenes for you. If that’s not enough, you can also smash beer bottles, hit him with stools, stab him with knives, whatever you want.”
As Nan Yi spoke, he peeled open a few more tank worms and stuffed three or five of them into his mouth at once, chewing them with great enjoyment.
Yi Qianxi glared at him, "Cousin, who do you think I am?"
"An old woman who is as fierce as a wolf."
