Chapter 187: Talking about a business worth hundreds of millions When I met Jiang Fan on Friday, the girl was very mysterious. "Guess what good thing I brought you?" She was holding a bag in her hand and hid it behind her back, avoiding Luo Yang's sight. "I can't guess." "Guess!" "Did you bring your family's household registration book?" Luo Yang pretended that his eyes lit up and raised his wrist to check: "Oh, it's already five o'clock, the Civil Affairs Bureau is closed." "Bah, what a beautiful thought!" Jiang Fan's cheeks were flushed, and she spat at Luo Yang and said, "I won't marry you if you haven't come to propose yet."
After saying this, he handed over the bag like offering a treasure. "clang clang" Making onomatopeia, Jiang Fan said proudly, "The latest model of mobile phone, haven't you seen it?" In fact, Luo Yang knew it when he saw the apple logo with a bite taken out of it. "A new model of mobile phone?" But he had to pretend that he didn't know. After opening it and looking at it, he showed a "surprised" expression. “iPhone 4?!” "It seems that you also know about this new generation of smart phones from the Internet?" In Jiang Fan's opinion, it was not surprising that Luo Yang recognized him. There must have been news about the release of iPhone 4 on the Internet. “It’s not sold in China yet, right?” "The Hong Kong version has been cracked." Jiang Fan took out a card cutter from his bag and said, "Where's your phone? The SIM card for your iPhone 4 needs to be cut smaller. I'll help you with that." Luo Yang took out his Nokia phone, fiddled with the settings, saved the phone number on the SIM card, then turned off the phone and took out the card. Jiang Fan took the phone card and operated it skillfully. Then he took the phone and squeezed to Luo Yang's single sofa, sat between his legs and said, "Come, I'll teach you how to use it." Looking at the familiar model, Luo Yang couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts. It is difficult to judge the various subsequent Apple models, as everyone has their own opinions, but as for the iPhone 4, he had to admit that Steve Jobs was amazing. This paranoid man did design a product that was ahead of its time and led the trend in the smartphone era. No matter how other brands of smartphones develop later, their general framework has already been finalized on the iPhone 4. "How's it going? Have you learned it?"
"Well, you taught me so carefully, I must have learned it." Luo Yang smiled and said, "Mine is black, what about yours?" I remember when the iPhone 4 was first released, it came in two colors: black and white. Based on his understanding of Jiang Fan, her cell phone must be white. "Hehe, we two are a perfect match!" Sure enough, the cell phone she took out was white. She held it in her hand and compared it with Luo Yang, and it really felt a bit like that. "Let's take a picture!" The novelty of the phone had not yet worn off, so Jiang Fan turned on the camera function, put his hand close to Luo Yang's cheek, and made a scissors gesture with his other hand to take a photo. Besides taking photos, there is also the fruit cutting game. How many girls bought iPhone 4 back then because they were attracted by this little game? As your finger slides across the screen, the music plays, and you can slice and dice watermelons, apples, bananas, and pears. Of course, there are grenades. "what" Jiang Fan looked at the screen with regret: "Another grenade." "I'm not hungry now anyway, so I might as well play another round." "J." Jiang Fan bit his lip and pointed at the upper right corner of his phone, saying, "It's almost out of battery. I'll charge it when I get back to my room tonight before playing." "That's easy, go buy one." Having said this, Luo Yang was stunned. Power bank. Is this thing available now? He wasn't sure because the selfie stick was invented by Xiaobenzi before the advent of smartphones. There is no technical threshold for mobile power supplies, so it should not be difficult to produce them. However, before the iPhone 4, mobile phones all had removable batteries for charging. Without saying a word, Luo Yang hurriedly pulled Jiang Fan out of the hotel lobby. "Luo Yang, what's wrong?" "Don't talk, I'm looking for something." The InterContinental Hotel is located in the city center. You can find the business offices of China Unicom and China Mobile just by looking around. “It really is.” Looking at the accessories in the mobile phone display cabinet, Luo Yang muttered softly: "But... they are so ugly!" Old-style mobile chargers are assembled with two or four rechargeable batteries, leaving space for a removable mobile phone battery. This is the earliest version of mobile power! He hurried into the business hall and left in a hurry. Jiang Fan was confused by Luo Yang's strange behavior. "Student Jiang."
"Ok?" "I have a business deal to discuss with Lao Jiang. Do you think it would be better to go to his home or his office?" "what?" Jiang Fan didn't react for a moment and looked at Luo Yang in confusion. “I have a business.” After Luo Yang repeated it again, she came back to her senses and asked curiously, "What new design plan do you have?" At this point, she paused. Then he looked at Luo Yang with confusion. Luo Yang's words must be related to his strange behavior just now. Does he want Lao Jiang to discuss the business of producing mobile phones? Jiang Fan looked up to Luo Yang. At this moment, Luo Yang was still thinking about the power bank. There is no way, it’s due to cognitive limitations. At this stage, he only has the courage to do small things. "It's about the same, but the design is different from the last time. The business this time is bigger." Luo Yang was calculating in his mind that the number of smartphones owned worldwide in the future would be in the billions, with sales of hundreds of millions of units each year. The market size of power banks, just in China, would be at least in the billions, right? Jiang Yuanshan’s Yuanfan Group has three major divisions, one of which is battery production. There is no technical difficulty at all in doing this. So Luo Yang raised five fingers and said, "I estimate that the scale of this market will reach at least 10 billion in the future. If we enter early now, we can get the biggest piece of fat. Even if we occupy % of the market in the future, we will have a revenue scale of several hundred million." Ok. If the number was a few hundred thousand or one or two million, Jiang Fan would favor Luo Yang and would just blackmail him. Now that the numbers have risen to billions or hundreds of millions, it is difficult for her to do so. "I'll call Lao Jiang tomorrow morning and arrange a time. You guys can talk about it then?" After Jiang Fan thought about it, he still added with some concern: "Don't worry, I'm with you." Afraid that Luo Yang would be bullied. Luo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also moved. Indeed, with his current wealth, social status, connections, etc., he is more than one level behind Jiang Yuanshan, and in terms of experience, they are incomparable. Even creativity is not an advantage. If Jiang Fan is not taken into consideration and Lao Jiang snatches it away unethically, what can Luo Yang do? So Jiang Fan's words mean to protect his shortcomings. In front of her old father, she defended her lover. Faced with such a loving and righteous woman, there is no need to hide anything from her. So after dinner and watching a movie, Luo Yang returned to the room and described to her the idea of the power bank product.
She took out a pen and paper and drew some simple diagrams to deepen her concepts. Not only did they talk about power banks, but also about the future development prospects of smartphones. Luo Yang affirmed the fate of traditional mobile phones being eliminated and described the inevitability of the trillion-dollar smartphone market. After more than an hour of communication, Jiang Fan was shocked. She didn't expect that just giving Luo Yang a Hong Kong version of iPhone 4 would actually trigger Luo Yang's creative ideas and involve a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Is this genius? We were supposed to play the fruit cutting game in the evening. But now, looking at Luo Yang's face, she liked him more and more. Even the body becomes hot involuntarily. In fact, this is not surprising. Jiang Fan has been trained by Jiang Yuanshan since she was a child and has a natural interest in business operations. When Luo Yang showed his strong talent in business, how could she not be obsessed? No, cutting fruits is not as fun as Luo Yang. Jiang Fan made up his mind not to play the fruit-cutting game tonight. She's going to play juicing tonight. Don’t think too much, it’s really a business worth hundreds of millions! (End of this chapter)
