In Yanjing in March, although the temperature is not very high, the dry and cold air makes the surface feel less uncomfortable. Even if the temperature is only a few degrees, wearing a thicker jacket is enough.

Since you have arrived in Yanjing, you naturally have to go to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. After being free from wealth, the most comfortable feeling is to do whatever you want, and don’t worry about the bad smell. If Toutiao’s status is stable, your career will basically be successful in the first step, and there will be no problems with private jets and global travel.

After playing for seven days, Zhong Guangwei's team also negotiated a cooperation agreement with Baidu and 360. Due to some special reasons, the traffic quotes given by these two companies to Quxin are much cheaper. Obviously, they also hope that Quxin can live longer.

After the agreement is confirmed, the lawyers of both parties have confirmed that there is no problem. Zhou Yujie also signed his own name and the contract is established. In the next year, Quxin's name will be hung under the search box on the homepage of Baidu APP. At the same time, 360 will also promote Quxin to users who link to mobile phones.

The traffic of these two is definitely not as good as WeChat, which has QQ traffic, but Zhou Yujie doesn't care. With this traffic support, Quxin can still gain a large number of users within at least one year. As long as these people are diverted to Toutiao, AppTreasure or other APPs, it will be considered the greatest success.

Not to mention, in the current smartphone market, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of new users are entering the market every day, and these people are also a great opportunity.

There is one last thing to do when you come to Yanjing. On March 15, Zhou Yujie came to Room 807, Yingu Building, Baofu Temple Bridge, Zhongguancun.

This office is not much in size and looks ordinary, just like the simplest leather bag company. But in this era, no one would have thought that one of the largest mobile phone giants in the future would be born here - Xiaomi.

During the days of relaxing travel in Yanjing, Zhou Yujie had already arranged an agency to search for traces of Rebs near Zhongguancun. As a former celebrity, he could naturally find it if he wanted to find it. So Zhou Yujie personally called and informed him to prepare for a visit.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Rebs greeted politely with a strong hometown accent.

"Hello, Mr. Lei, don't be so polite. You are our senior." Zhou Yujie said with a smile.

Rebs is one of the earliest technology elites in the country. He joined Kingsoft Software in 1992 and became Kingsoft's sixth employee. Two years later, he became the general manager of Kingsoft Yanjing Branch and six years later he was promoted to Kingsoft's general manager. He was only 29 years old at that time and was named one of the top ten outstanding young people in the Internet, which was very dazzling.

At this time, Li Yanhong from Baidu was studying in the United States, Brother Ma had just started his business, and Jack Ma was still promoting his own yellow pages, and he ran into walls everywhere.

But luck is a mess. From 1992 to 2007, 5,840 days of hard work only earned a market value of HK$620 million. In the same year, Alibaba's market value was 1.5 billion US dollars, and Baidu's market value was as high as US$4 billion. Internet upstarts quickly suppressed the former software industry.

At the end of that year, Rebs left Kingsoft, which had served for 16 years, and began his own entrepreneurial journey.

"In today's society, qualifications are useless, it depends on strength." Rebs said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, although you have only been starting a business for half a year, your achievements are far greater than those of us. Come and invite us."

Xiaomi's current office is not big. At this moment, Xiaomi's main product is the Android version customization software MIUI. On the market, the user experience of Android is far inferior to iOS. This is a huge user pain point. Rebs seized this opportunity to deeply customize Android, optimize desktop and usage permissions.

Since April 2010, MIUI internal testing has been around for almost a year, and the global users have reached 300,000.

This number is a drop in the bucket for Internet users, but it is slowly promoted by users. It is a real self-fission propaganda model, with strong fans stickiness, and this is also the first supporter of Xiaomi mobile phones in the future.

Using small batches of users in the early stage, Xiaomi's team optimized its system and achieved almost zero negative reviews before carrying out the next step of promotion. It was this ultimate style that allowed Xiaomi in later generations to achieve unimaginable success.

Rebs simply introduced the MIUI system of Xiaomi to Zhou Yujie and his party. In fact, the most fundamental model is to imitate Apple's iOS and some habits of domestic users. However, it is simple to say but not easy to do. Large companies look down on them, and small companies do not have the vision and ability.

"I heard that Xiaomi is preparing to make mobile phone hardware?" Rebs said almost the same, Zhou Yujie asked.

"Yes, what we have always wanted to try is hardware." Rebs admitted frankly that he is a bit famous in the Internet circle. Recently, he has been in contact with companies in the mobile phone supply chain. In addition, Xiaomi's main business is system optimization. It is not difficult to guess that Xiaomi's ultimate goal is to enter the mobile phone manufacturing industry.

Moreover, making mobile phones is not a big deal. Smartphones have just risen, and even the three Bat giants are trying to enter this field, and there are many different types of copycats and miscellaneous mobile phones.

"Mr. Lei, this time I'm here to visit you. Actually, there is a cooperation plan for Xiaomi's new mobile phones." Zhou Yujie said solemnly.

"Cooperate? Do you want to make mobile phones too?" Rebs asked suspiciously.

Zhou Yujie shook his head and said, "No, our headlines are an Internet company and will not involve hardware production, but I think we have a good foundation for cooperation with Xiaomi in the future."

"Oh, let's talk about it." Rebs became interested. He actually didn't care whether Toutiao made a mobile phone. The market was so big, so he didn't have to worry about any more, but he couldn't think of any cooperation plan for other aspects of cooperation.

Zhou Yujie said: "Mr. Lei should know the App Treasures of my company, right?"

"Of course I know that the current market share of Appliance Bao is still increasing significantly. Our MIUI system also has data on this aspect. I have also used Appliance Bao, which feels very convenient and seems to be better than Apple's APP store." Rebs said with a smile: "I think it's only a matter of time before Appliance Bao becomes the largest application market in China in the future."
