It was already past 7pm when I left Mr. Lei's place. Mr. Lei originally wanted to invite Luo Fan and Li Jingyi to dinner, but Luo Fan rejected him.

Because Luo Fan has made an appointment with Wang Hui in advance today.

In the past two years, Wang Hui would go to Xingyuan for an internship every winter and summer vacation. At first, he was still in the game department. Later, when the Daily Toutiao department was established, he went to the news department.

When Wang Hui was around, Luo Fan basically didn't need to worry about the daily headlines.

In his previous life, Wang Hui almost got equity incentives from NetEase News, but he chose to resign before signing the contract and go it alone.

At that time, Wang Hui took advantage of the rise of self-media in 2017, established his own self-media account, and launched the account.

Before Luo Fan was reborn, Wang Hui's self-media account was already one of the best in the country, with an annual income of several hundred W.

Wang Hui is now in his junior year, and will be his senior year after this summer vacation. In his senior year, there is no need to stay in school except to prepare his graduation thesis.

Luo Fan invited Wang Hui over for dinner this time because he wanted Wang Hui to completely join his company.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Luo Fan and Li Jingyi arrived at the appointed hotel. Wang Hui and his roommates had already arrived.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they each took their seats.

While waiting for the food to be served, Luo Fan said straight to the point: "Wang Hui, you will be a senior in college soon. There is no need to stay in school except for your graduation thesis. Come and officially go through the entry formalities one day!"

"Okay!" Wang Hui agreed without thinking. He liked the atmosphere of Xingyuan very much, and he was considered a "veteran" of Xingyuan. He had been an intern at Xingyuan not long after the company was established.

Especially for the news department, people were recruited by the company, but he contributed a lot to the subsequent operations. He was the one who single-handedly set up the framework.

He liked this job very much, and even if Luo Fan didn't say anything, he would take the initiative to join Xingyuan.

"Then you should first serve as the vice president of the headline department like Vice President Zhou Yuqing Zhou! You will become a full-time employee when the opportunity is right."

"Then I'll thank the boss in advance."

Luo Fan smiled, turned to Wang Hui's roommates and asked, "Do you want to go to my company?"

"Mr. Luo, I want to go!" Zhao Shaoyun was the first to express his stance.

Zhao Shaoyun was not Luo Fan's roommate in his previous life, but was Luo Fan's classmate. Like Luo Fan, his family conditions were not very good. His parents were both honest farmers. His father was a carpenter and his mother worked everywhere. There were four children at home, and the pressure was too much.

Big.

In his previous life, in order to reduce the burden on his family, Zhao Shaoyun often went to work with Luo Fan.

In his previous life, he went to a pig farm after graduating from college, and was exposed to games from the beginning.

Until Luo Fan was reborn, Zhao Shaoyun was still working in a game company affiliated with Pig Farm and did not change jobs for many years.

Zhao Shaoyun is also the only one in dormitory 606 besides Wang Hui who comes to Xingyuan for internship during the winter and summer vacations. He helped develop Clash of Clans and Happy Games.

Xu Jiale admires Zhao Shaoyun very much. In his words, Zhao Shaoyun is innovative, technically solid, and has a peaceful mind, but he is too introverted. Overall, he is a rare talent.

Luo Fan thinks that introversion is not a problem. Nine times out of ten, men are introverted because they have no money. Once they have money, it will be different.

Thinking of this, Luo Fan nodded and said: "Of course I welcome you if you want to come. Mr. Xu appreciates you very much, so you can be his assistant!"

"Thank you, boss." Zhao Shaoyun lowered his head and said.

"Mr. Luo, let me forget it! I should be able to get a postgraduate placement, and I want to continue my studies." Liu Zebin refused.

Luo Fan was a little surprised when he heard this. In his previous life, Liu Zebin didn't get a postgraduate placement!

But then Luo Fan thought about it, he was reborn, and it would be normal to bring about a butterfly effect!

I’m not surprised that Liu Zebin chose Luo Fan. Liu Zebin was the most out-of-the-box person in Luo Fan’s dormitory in his previous life.

He is like ADHD, unable to live peacefully for a moment. In his previous life, he refused a very good job and chose to go to graduate school.

Luo Fan remembered that in his previous life, Liu Zebin returned to his hometown of Hubei after finishing graduate school, and became a teacher at a second university there, and his life was very comfortable.

In the end, the only person who did not express his position was the dormitory chief Guo Jun.

Guo Jun is Luo Fan's fellow villager, also from Shanxi. Luo Fan and Guo Jun had the best relationship in the dormitory in his previous life.

Guo Jun was admitted to Tsinghua University after repeating his studies for a year. He was older than the students in the dormitory. Probably because of this, Guo Jun's character was much calmer than the other three in the dormitory, and he also took good care of others.

In his previous life, Luo Fan was timid and had low self-esteem. He was too embarrassed to apply for scholarships, so Guo Jun helped him do it.

Guo Jun's academic performance is also the best in their dormitory. In his previous life, he was also the only one in the dormitory who was admitted to graduate school.

In his previous life, he studied for a Ph.D. and then went to work for a certain company. Before Luo Fan traveled through time, he had already bought a house in the imperial capital. It was a large house of 160 square meters with four bedrooms and one living room and a study room. His wife was also very beautiful, belonging to the imperial capital.

The kind who decides to be brothers with him for life as soon as he sees his wife.

"Mr. Luo, I heard that your company is establishing a cloud service center in Shanxi?"

"yes!"

"I'm more interested in this. My graduate degree is also in the direction of cloud computing."

"If Mr. Guo is interested, you can go and have a look."

"That will have to happen after graduate school." Guo Jun said with a smile.

"I welcome talents like Mr. Guo here at any time, no matter the time, you can come as long as you want."

Guo Jun was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't remember anything shocking he did when he was an intern at Xingyuan.

However, Guo Jun calmed down quickly and took Luo Fan's words as polite words.

Luo Fan didn't explain much, there were some things that couldn't be said.

After they had finished drinking and eating, everyone dispersed. Before leaving, Luo Fan pulled Wang Hui into the group of Xingyuan's senior executives.

Currently, Xingyuan's senior management group includes Xu Jiale, director of the game department, Wang Jing, director of the technical department, Li Jingyi, director of the art department, Qin Beibei, director of the logistics department, Cao Shuai of Xingyuan Venture Capital, and Zhou, the vice president of Neihan Duanzi.

Yuqing, Ying Qianlong and Jia Ting in the legal team, and now there is another vice president of the news department, Wang Hui.

It is worth mentioning that Luo Fan did not bring finance people into this group. On the one hand, there was no suitable person to manage the finance team, and on the other hand, Luo Fan wanted to keep finance away from the company's core management.

, just like the management model of some central enterprises.

After handling Wang Hui's affairs, Luo Fan and Li Jingyi returned to the luxurious presidential suite booked by their subordinates.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with the beauty beside him, he had a panoramic view of the night view of the imperial capital. Under this scene, Luo Fan felt a surge of pride in his chest, and then this pride transferred to his lower body.

Good times and beautiful scenery are the best time to have a drink and talk with a beautiful woman.

...

On the afternoon of the next day, Luo Fan, who had changed into a crisp suit, and Li Jingyi, who was wearing a lavender dress, came to the rice press conference together.

This is a large conference room. At this time, the conference room is crowded with people. Sitting in the front row are the guests invited by Mr. Lei relying on his reputation and prestige in the Internet and software industry, followed by various media, and finally

Rice noodles.

The first batch of rice fans were all enthusiasts who were attracted by the MIUI system when Mi 1 was released in August last year.

At that time, Rice 1 did not carry out such large-scale publicity as it does now.

It can be said that Mi 1 has sold 200,000 units due to its own quality. Therefore, the user stickiness of the MIUI system is very amazing. Countless users and MIUI developers discuss the technology on this forum, which also makes many Mi fans come all the way from other places.

Come and attend the launch of the rice 1s mobile phone.

The seats in the conference room are almost full now, but there are still countless people queuing outside but unable to enter the venue, which shows how popular it is.

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Li, you sit in the first row. You will be on stage later." Mr. Lei personally led Luo Fan and Li Jingyi to the front row.

"Mr. Lei, looking at the situation today, your mobile phone is going to be a big seller!" Luo Fan said as he took Li Jingyi's hand and sat down.

"To be honest, I didn't expect so many people to come today." Mr. Lei said with a cheerful expression.

"Mr. Lei, how many units of Rice 1s have you prepared? Like Rice 1, the first batch will not be 30,000 units, right?" Li Jingyi asked.

"How is that possible! We have prepared 300,000 units this time." Mr. Lei replied.

"Only 300,000 units? Looking at this situation, I guess it's not enough!" Luo Fan said, looking back at the people lining up outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lei said with some regret: "I didn't expect so many people to come, and there are so many fans outside. I really feel sorry for them."

"This is an unexpected thing. Mr. Lei, don't think so much. Most people outside still don't care. Let's do a good job with this press conference first. If the sales of mobile phones increase, the next press conference will be held directly at the Bird's Nest.

"

"Hahaha! Okay, then I will accept your good advice from Mr. Luo." After saying this, Mr. Lei turned around and left.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the press conference officially started. The venue with thousands of people was very noisy at first, but when Mr. Lei came on stage, there was only cheering applause.

"Are the fans of rice phones so sticky? It's really surprising." Li Jingyi said.

"Actually, it's normal. Mr. Lei wants to turn rice into China's apples. Just because of this, many people with national pride will support him. Now there are people on the Internet who call Mr. Lei Rebus.

In addition, the quality of the rice is really good, it is better than most smartphones on the market, and it can be said to be second only to the iPhone at this stage. It is not surprising that there will be such a scene."

After listening to Luo Fan's words, Li Jingyi nodded and said nothing more.

The process of the press conference was very simple. Mr. Lei first thanked everyone who could come to the conference and apologized to the fans who could not enter. Then, just like Steve Jobs criticized feature phones in 2007, Mr. Lei summarized the various aspects of current smartphones.

Disadvantages and areas that make users unhappy.

Then it’s your phone’s turn to introduce the optimization in terms of [Battery], [Screen], [CPU], [Signal], [Camera], etc.

Luo Fan was also listening carefully below. Although this press conference was not as shocking as when Steve Jobs took out the iPhone for the first time in 2007, Mr. Lei's new rice phone still solved many problems.

The issue that Luo Fan is most interested in is the power of mobile phones, because the current battery technology is not as good as it will be 10 years ago. Most smartphones, including iPhones, will run out of power after half a day of use, and users will have a problem called "battery worry."
