Chapter 130: A cell phone taking pictures of black people?

“The Yanjing Olympics came to an end. On August 8, the closing ceremony of the 24th Summer Olympics was held at the National Stadium – the “Bird’s Nest”!”

in the long river of history.

Every Olympic Games is a shining star in human civilization.

And in 08, the Olympic Games was undoubtedly the most dazzling one.

This is how the world was originally.

This world, perhaps, is like this.

Similar historical processes, similar countries, similar companies…

Apart from those different people, there was no heart-wrenching disaster in May.

Sometimes Zhang Yang once suspected that he was reborn rather than traveling through time.

8 month 24 day.

The closing ceremony of the Olympics was being broadcast on TV.

Amidst cheers and surprises, China won 48 gold medals, 21 silver medals and 28 bronze medals in this Olympics, becoming the first Asian country in Olympic history to top the gold medal list.

In front of the TV, Zhang Yang sat in Pengcheng’s office, silently looking at the list…

There are many names on the list, but the most eye-catching ones are Chen Xiaoxia, a diver from a poor rural area in China, and Kenuru, a long-distance runner from Africa…

In fact…

In the months leading up to the Olympics…

Zhang Yang started spending money to sign people. Apart from the Chinese, the people he signed were from poor African countries such as Congo, Kenya, and Mauritius.

It was a complete process of signing people based on the success or failure of a large number of candidates. Of course, I was lucky enough to sign two champions!
Zhang Yang stared at Kenuru.

A face so dark that only the eyes could be seen, and it would be completely hidden in the darkness!
Maybe it’s due to historical reasons…

Middle and long distance running is a stage for African athletes, just as the Eastern countries have never lacked excellent table tennis talents…

Kenuru is from Kapsisiva in the Nandi District in western Kenya, Africa…

A remote area only a few dozen kilometers away from Eldoret, the “world running capital”.

And this year!
This African long-distance running champion who emerged out of nowhere shined at the [Yanjing Olympics], breaking the historical record with a time of 2 hours, 06 minutes and 32 seconds!

Become famous in one fell swoop!
……

After watching for a while, Zhang Yang smiled and then called the opposing coaching staff to express his congratulations.

Then, invite him over, hoping to congratulate him in person!
……………………………………

8 month 27 day.

Accompanied by his coach, Kenuru came to Pengcheng step by step.

For this mysterious Eastern country…

He felt curious and confused…

The world is full of tall buildings, beautifully dressed men and women, and the bright lights and bustling urban world…

Everything made him feel overwhelmed. If the coach hadn’t introduced everything to him with a smile, he would have felt like a wild beast on the grassland who had strayed into the future world.

“When you see the boss, you have to smile at him!”

“Is there anything we need to do? Coach Cy Vance…”

“Be sincere, stay sincere…”

When I was 15 years old…

Kenuru, who was in a daze, participated in a running competition barefoot for unknown reasons, won first place, and got the first reward in his life, a pheasant.

That night, Kenuru, who had always been unpopular, felt the smiles from his family for the only time, and also met the most important mentor in his life, Sai Vance.

Sai Wan Si gave him a pair of shoes, and talked to the village chief for a long time, and finally exchanged two cows and a sheep for his rest of life…

He started running…

Whether in the wilderness, on the grass, in the wind or in the rain, he was forced to run by Cy Vance.

He didn’t know what running meant at the time. He only knew that as long as Cyvans was holding the stopwatch, every time he broke through his limit and rushed to the finish line at the fastest speed, Cyvans would smile.

Later, through contact with more people.

Kenuru knew that he was an athlete, an athlete who was going to participate in the competition!

He began to run, running madly, running out of the poor village, and saw one city after another…

It was my first time to take a plane, see a car, see a beautiful city, see the sea, and see all kinds of people…

……

At the age of 18, he participated in the Rotterdam Half Marathon and broke the world record with a time of 59 minutes and 16 seconds.

In 2006, this record was broken by Gebrelasis, but he broke the world record for the half marathon twice in 2007…

In 2008, this year’s Olympics, he won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 06 minutes and 32 seconds, breaking the Olympic record that had been maintained for 24 years…

……

Just before the game, with his consent, his coach signed him the first commercial endorsement contract in his life.

He didn’t know what the endorsement meant…

He only knew that the other party could give him a lot of money. If this money was converted into cattle and sheep, it would be more than 200 heads…

Very profitable?

………………………………

“Haha, Mr. Kenuru, Mr. Cyvans, congratulations, congratulations!”

“thanks, thanks!”

Africa has the largest number of French speakers in the world.

Although the official language in Kenya is English, Sai Vance, who is originally from Nigeria, is fluent in French.

Naturally, Kenuru also knows some French.

He met this Chinese boss…

The Chinese boss was slightly shorter than him, wore glasses, and looked polite. When shaking hands with him, he could clearly feel the enthusiasm of the Chinese boss.

After shaking hands, he sat obediently in the office.

In fact, although he knew what “endorsement” meant, when the endorsement really fell on him, he felt a little confused and embarrassed.

He didn’t know what he should do.

He took a sip of the tea brewed by the Chinese boss.

It tasted a bit bitter and not as good as juice, but out of politeness he swallowed it in one gulp.

God!

This thing!
It tastes really bad!
Then… he saw the Chinese boss named Zhang Yang, and started chatting with his coach.

He didn’t quite understand what they were talking about…

Finally I can understand…

There are only a few sentences in some agreements and contracts.

It probably means…

“It won’t affect my training.”

“The process is very simple. Just help take a few photos, a few sets of photos…”

Then, the only thing I could guess was that my coach, Cy Vance, was very excited. He stood up several times and excitedly shook hands with the Chinese boss. Then he also pulled me along and followed the Chinese boss in a series of thanksgivings…

After expressing his gratitude, he saw Cy Vance walking out of the office excitedly.

Then, he said a lot of gibberish in the office, and Kenuru couldn’t understand what he meant at all.

What I barely understood was…

This Chinese boss seems to be very interested in their training team.

like……

Sign them all.

even……

There is another meaning.

it seems that……

Invite some people from their side to come over and discuss cooperation?
……………………………………

night.

Deep.

[Xia Li] In the R&D area.

Chen You stayed in the office, silently watching the latest news.

The latest news shows…

The in-depth cooperation agreement signed between Zhang Yang and the [R&D Department] has officially ended today.

After the completion, the camera, speakers and other spare parts supplied by the [R&D Department] will no longer be used, nor will the [MTK] system of the [R&D Department] be used.

“Mr. Zhang, this is, this is…”

“crazy?”

When I saw this message…

Chen You’s eyes became dull.

Then he frowned and looked out the window.

Outside the window, the night fell and everything was quiet.

At this moment, his emotions began to become heavy.

He turned around and looked at the icons on the table.

At this moment, the icon still had the words [Xia Li] written on it…

He closed his eyes.

This world is changing really fast.

Xiali, which was once in full swing and vowed to surpass Shengxing to become the leader of China’s mobile phones, collapsed overnight and was acquired by Zhang Yang, who was a copycat…

After the acquisition, when Chen You thought that the technologies he developed could be widely used in copycat phones and could make a profit, he heard a piece of news that stunned Chen You.

Zhang Yang’s knockoff phone industry was in full swing, and was about to take over 10% of China’s annual sales. The [R&D Department] asked Zhang Yang to sign an exclusive cooperation agreement, but Zhang Yang refused to sign…

Chen You once thought that he had read the news wrongly.

He wiped his eyes and confirmed with the people around Zhang Yang several times, only to find that he was not mistaken!
and many more!

Zhang Yang, you started out as an assembler and are on the rise, even lowering the prices of many big brands. Shouldn’t you take advantage of the situation?
Instead, at this time, we are having a conflict with the [R&D Department]. What does this mean?
Are you having a hard time with money, or, after seeing the sales data, do you feel that you have grown stronger and are now able to negotiate terms with the [R&D Department]?
Can’t we just use the [R&D Department] system to develop first, and then do other things?

Now that you haven’t even mastered the basics, you want to break away from it and go it alone?
Is Zhang Yang crazy?
He really couldn’t understand what Zhang Yang was thinking. No normal person would do this, okay?
In fact, Chen You’s premonition was not wrong.

Early to late August!

When the [R&D Department] officially announced that they had found a new spokesperson…

Almost all the knockoff machine assembly factories centered around Zhang Yang swarmed towards Xu Yunfei…

after all……

[R&D Department] The price for Xu Yunfei is even crazier than Zhang Yang’s motherboard price!

Zhang Yang paid 150 yuan for the motherboard of the counterfeit manufacturer, but Xu Yunfei directly gave 100 yuan!
The cost price has been pushed down again!
The counterfeit phone market has already taken shape, and now the only thing that matters is price. Whoever has the cheaper price will be the crazier…

In less than half a month…

We hear this news almost every day.

As for Zhang Yang, facing this wave of “departure”, he didn’t even make any decision, as if he didn’t see it at all…

even……

Many copycat phone partners who are not under Zhang Yang’s system still sell their own phones in [Xiaomi Mall], and [Xiaomi Mall] does not have any restrictions!

even……

The red envelopes from [Xiaomi Mall] can also be used for other brands!

Except that it is not a [Xiaomi Mall] label, there is no other difference!
This is……

What are you doing?
Just when Chen You was a little confused…

He received a call…

“Mr. Chen…”

“boss Zhang?”

“Do we have any technology in this area of ​​our mobile phone cameras?”

“The technology is there, but it’s relatively backward. What’s wrong with that?”

“Can you develop a camera phone for black people?”

“???”

When hearing this, Chen You was stunned!

What do you mean?
Black camera phone?
