Although the overall scale of Nutshell Electronics was not large, and the power behind it was not as strong as Tsinghua Purple Light, what Guo Yuanlin envied was that Nutshell's future plans were very reasonable.
After the success of the MP4 project, they immediately turned to the more profitable mobile phone project. At the same time, they spent a lot of effort to develop Nutshell's official platform to attract and accumulate Internet users.
Physical sales and Internet business, Guo Yuanlin felt that this was the best development path for electronic products.
Unfortunately, even if someone published the correct answer, Tsinghua Purple Light could not copy it. Now, the MP4 was making money without doing anything. It took a lot of courage to jump out of this comfort zone. Guo Yuanlin himself might not be able to do it.
Fortunately, there was still Nutshell. He could see how high Tsinghua Purple Light's "dream" could reach.
Guo Yuanlin knew a lot of young Internet entrepreneurs. According to his current understanding, only Nutshell Chen Hansheng and Jingdong Liu Qiangdong really started from scratch. The others, whether it was Sohu Zhang, Hangzhou Ma, Shencheng Ma, or Wangyi Ding, all had their parents who helped them.
After the party, Chen Hansheng did not stay in Hucheng for long. Cheng Dejun did not have much money on hand because he had to fight against Shun Feng. However, Shentong was still willing to use Nutshell's channels.
Chen Hansheng smiled and did not comment. Things were different now. When Nutshell MP4 was first listed, they needed to expand their influence in all aspects. Therefore, they used Shentong's delivery network to sell it.
Now, even if many young people did not buy Nutshell products, they were not "Nutshell Powder". However, they had heard of Nutshell's name.
In addition, the MP4's function was positioned as an "entertainment product". In everyone's general impression, it was just a "gadget". It was sold through delivery networks. College students only felt that it was more convenient to buy it.
Mobile phones were completely different. If a nearly 3,000 yuan electronic product was placed in a messy delivery network, not only would it not have a "cost-effective" effect, but it would also be criticized as a "street vendor".
This kind of price had to be placed in the mall or directly shipped by the manufacturer for customers to be assured.
Two days later, Chen Hansheng left Hucheng and made an appointment to visit the famous Hangzhou Ma.
Chen Hansheng was thick-skinned. After the first appointment, if the others were not willing to meet him, he would make a second appointment. The Internet economy was not at its peak yet. These future big shots were more easy-going. After searching for news about Nutshell on the Internet, they would basically agree to meet him.
Mr. Ma of Hangzhou did not expect Chen Hansheng to be so young and wild. He dared to wander around alone.
In fact, Chen Hansheng's goal was very simple. He just wanted to visit the docks and promote Nutshell Electronics. At the same time, he wanted to leave his contact information so that it would be easier for them to cooperate in the future. There were no financing requirements, so communication was very easy.
After that, Chen Hansheng went to the south. Even though Tony was busy in Shen City, Nutshell and Teng Xun were business partners, so he still took the time to talk to Chen Hansheng for two hours. They even had dinner together in the canteen that night.
Later on, Chen Hansheng met Wang Yiding in Yue City, Sohu Zhang in Yanjing, and Jinshan Lei, whose luck had been "possessed" by Zheng Guanren …
In short, many people knew about "Nutshell Chen" in Jianye.
At the beginning of November, Chen Hansheng finally returned to Jianye. The rumor that "Chairman Chen" was the boss of Nutshell Electronics had already spread in the university.
Chen Hansheng did not deliberately deny it, but the security department of the university directly confirmed this rumor. No one knew which school leader instructed the security department to install several cameras near the male dormitory in the Southern District to achieve a comprehensive monitoring effect.
In this way, everyone knew that there would be no female gangsters who would be tempted by the six lively young men in the dormitory. They would really be tempted to turn on the "Investigator series" on the E Drive.
However, Chen Hansheng did not have much time in school because the "Nutshell community" was intensively absorbing opinions to improve it.
Chen Hansheng himself speculated that when the platform was launched at the mobile phone conference, there would be a lot of "Nutshell fans" who would sign up. The website must not be paralyzed.
In addition, the stability test of the Nutshell phone prototype had already begun.
The first Nutshell phone was a clamshell. The design followed Nutshell's consistent young and trendy characteristics. The four corners were rounded and curved, the nickel-plated metal keyboard was cool and fashionable, and the back of the phone had a dazzling "K ♥" logo.
Currently, there were three colors: Sapphire Black, Agate Red, and Haoshi Silver. The design of the phone was low-key, but it could shine under the sun. It was too ostentatious, but it was not inlaid with a circle of rustic lanterns like some domestic phones.
In short, the design was very suitable for young people who wanted to show off but were too embarrassed to say it.
In addition to the outstanding appearance, the phone had two significant advantages.
The first was that after plugging in the headphones, the sound of music was very clear. After all, Nutshell started out in the MP4 market, and a lot of experience could be applied to the phone.
The second was that the camera was very clear. Nutshell did not have the ability to produce high-definition cameras, so they could only order from other companies. Although it was a little expensive, the quality was already better than many other brands.
The other aspects were more ordinary. The screen was domestic, the chip was half imported and half domestic, the phone's operation was not smooth, and the battery did not have a long battery life. It could only be said that the basic functions of the phone were retained.
In conclusion, Nutshell was like a student who was good at "photography, music, and design". In fact, these were the biggest requirements of young people for mobile phones. Coupled with the high price-performance ratio and the current popularity of the phone, it would definitely be the most popular mobile phone of 2005.
… ….
In mid-November, Chen Zhaojun, Liang Meijuan, Xiao Hongwei, and Lv Yuqing's parents came over because Chen Hansheng was going to buy a house. This was something they had agreed on during the summer vacation. They all came over to help.
When Chen Hansheng came from Nutshell Electronics, he chatted with his childhood friends. Wang Zibo and Bian Shishi had not seen each other for a few days, and they took the opportunity to talk to each other.
When they arrived at Rongsheng Law Office in the Guomao Building, the parents waited for a long time. In fact, Old Xiao and Lv Yuqing were not bored, because they were full of pride when they saw their daughter working seriously.
Old Chen was also very patient, but Empress Dowager Liang was inexplicably irritated. After Chen Hansheng pushed the door open, Liang Meijuan frowned and said, "We all asked for leave to come here today. Chen Hansheng, can't you have a sense of time? Everyone was waiting for you!"
"I didn't ask you to come here."
Chen Hansheng also felt wronged, "You are just worried. Besides, my time is more important. Every minute is worth millions … Ah! Mom, I'm wrong, please don't hit me … "
After scolding her son, Empress Dowager Liang felt a little better. Finally, they still came to the step of buying a house.
On the way, Xiao Hongwei and Lv Yuqing were discussing what type of house to choose. Lv Yuqing said that it must be near a river or a lake, so that she could take her grandson or granddaughter for a walk when she retired.
Her husband Chen Zhaojun also joined in with interest. His opinion was that it would be best if the transportation was convenient, or else the two children would be too rushed to go to work in the morning.
In short, the other three people were chatting very harmoniously. Only Liang Meijuan had a lot on her mind. She always felt sorry for Shen Youchu, so she didn't talk much and often looked out of the window in a daze.
Chen Hansheng was hit a few times, but it didn't hurt, itch, or feel anything. He even smiled cheekily and hugged Empress Dowager Liang's shoulder and said, "My mom doesn't need to go for a physical examination every year. From the strength of the slap, I can tell that she is in good health."
"Ah ~"
Liang Meijuan shook her head helplessly. She didn't know how she gave birth to such a brat.
Wang Zibo was a little envious. This was the kind of family relationship that he looked forward to the most. It was a pity that he wasn't Xiao Chen, and he couldn't put down his pride to coax his mother.
Suddenly, Wang Zibo felt someone pinch his finger. Bian Shishi had walked to his side without him noticing. Bian Shishi seemed to know what Wang Zibo was thinking and smiled encouragingly at her boyfriend.
Wang Zibo was suddenly very moved. The best tacit understanding between couples was not the understanding between the lines, but the ability to understand each other's unexpressed feelings.
Having a girlfriend like this could easily arouse a man's desire to strive. It was no wonder that Wang Zibo was constantly valued by Chief Engineer Huang at Nutshell Electronics.
"Okay ~, we are done with the morning's work. Let's go eat."
Little Yu 'er cleaned up the table. With one hand holding Lv Yuqing and the other holding Liang Meijuan, she called Gao Wen and Li Na to eat at a nearby restaurant.
Although Empress Dowager Liang cared more about Shen Youchu, she also liked the sweet and confident Xiao Rongyu. She knew that the root of the problem was Chen Hansheng, and the two good girls were innocent.
Xiao Hongwei and Chen Zhaojun looked at each other. The two middle-aged men were a little relieved. After buying the house and getting married, they would be in-laws from now on.
"Old Chen's family is not bad. Chen Zhaojun is gentle and wise. After retirement, I can look for him to study calligraphy and play chess."
Xiao Hongwei fantasized in his heart.
"I am also satisfied with Old Xiao's family. With our Hansheng's personality, if he got married before graduating from university, he would have to play for at least ten years before considering it."
Chen Zhaojun was also thinking silently.
The elevator went down slowly, but there were already ten people in Rongsheng Law Firm. The white-collar workers on the lower floors found that there were no more seats, so everyone waited patiently for the next trip.
"Ding ~"
The elevator stopped on the 13th floor. Huang Hui and a few colleagues were also waiting, but in the process of opening and closing the door, she saw a few "acquaintances".
Chen Hansheng still looked like a rascal, playing with a metal lighter in his hand. When he saw Huang Hui, he grinned provocatively.
Huang Hui didn't dare to offend this rascal, so her eyes turned to Xiao Rongyu next to him.
This girl was very famous in the World Trade Building. First, it was because of her appearance and figure. Second, it was because reporters often went to Rongsheng Law Firm for interviews. Third, it was because she had a boyfriend who drove a Land Rover.
On Xiao Rongyu's left was a middle-aged woman. She had a beautiful face and a cold temperament. She didn't seem to be easy to get close to. From her face, she should be Xiao Rongyu's mother.
The middle-aged woman on Xiao Rongyu's right was relatively simple. She vaguely looked like Chen Hansheng, so she might be Chen Hansheng's mother.
As for the two middle-aged men, one of them looked like a young Daniel Wu, and the other was above average in stature, with calm and reserved eyes.
"This should be the parents of the two families meeting."
Huang Hui spat in her heart. Chen Hansheng, this rascal, was so lucky to find a girlfriend. His ex-girlfriend was Shen Youchu, and the one behind him was also very beautiful.
Of course, Huang Hui's eyes stayed on Wang Zibo and Bian Shishi the longest.
When the couple got off the elevator, the cute Bian Shishi tugged at Wang Zibo's short-sleeved shirt and tickled him. As for Wang Zibo, his face was filled with unconcealable affection.
Seeing her "ex-boyfriend" so happy, Huang Hui suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
People were so strange. Huang Hui could tolerate Chen Hansheng getting richer and richer, but for Wang Zibo, who she used to look down on, she didn't want Wang Zibo to live better than her.
Sister Xiao Hui was very uncomfortable recently. After the Australian guy was beaten up by Chen Hansheng and Wang Zibo, he directly canceled the cooperation, and the company's big deal was ruined.
Song Yijin didn't dare to trouble Chen Hansheng, so he could only transfer his anger to Huang Hui. Recently, his attitude towards her had also changed.
Huang Hui was very sensitive, and she could detect the slightest change. Especially recently, Song Yijin didn't even send her off after work.
Another elevator arrived, and a colleague called Huang Hui, "Do you want to go to Lion Bridge for hot pot at noon? I heard that the new milk tea shop there is very good."
Huang Hui hesitated for a moment, but still wasn't in the mood, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to go so far away. Let's talk about it next time when I'm free."
… …
During lunch, Chen Hansheng introduced the few buildings that he chose.
"Azure City, Silver City Treasure Ship Tingtao, Qushui Wenhuayuan, Golden Kitang City, these are all newly opened high-end buildings, and all of them are located in the city center's Gulou District. The average price of these buildings is also above 8000 RMB."
"These buildings all have their own advantages and disadvantages. Azure City's advantage is that it is very close to Xinjiekou, it seems to be only 2km away. However, the green area is not enough, and because it is too close to the road, it might be more noisy when sleeping at night."
"Silver City Treasure Ship Tingtao and Qushui Wenhuayuan are slightly further away from the city center. However, their advantage is that they are close to the river, and the green area is also not bad."
"Golden Kitang City's overall condition is the best. It is around 4km away from Xinjiekou, and because it is close to Mochou Lake and there is also a university nearby, the scenery and air are not bad …"
Chen Hansheng spoke frankly with assurance, and while looking at the messages, he introduced the buildings.
"You went to take a look at all of them?"
Liang Meijuan asked in astonishment. This isn't like her son's character.
"I don't have so much time."
Chen Hansheng shook his head and said, "This is the result that my secretary came up with after her on-site inspection."
"… …"
The people at the table didn't know what to say. Everyone was eating happily, and the feeling of someone suddenly showing off was not too good.
The key point was that he didn't have any self-awareness at all, and was still deliberately showing off, "What's wrong, with my status, it is very normal for me to have a secretary, why are you all feeling strange? I suggest that everyone calmly look at this matter …"
"Pa!"
After a certain someone's shoulder was slapped, Empress Dowager Liang slowly took back her hand, "Speak seriously."
"Alright."
Chen Hansheng didn't dare to be mischievous anymore, and said very seriously, "Actually, I personally think that Golden Kitang City is good, because it has a villa area, if it doesn't work, we can just buy a villa."
Liang Meijuan glared at him, why does this dog like to show off?
Unexpectedly, Lv Yuqing agreed with this idea, "Meijuan, you can call him later, I also think that a villa is not bad, how much is the price of a villa?"
"Aunt Lv, you really care about me."
Chen Hansheng gave a thumbs up, looked at the phone and said, "The price of a villa in Golden Kitang City is 12,000 yuan per square meter, there are villas from 300 square meters to 600 square meters."
"1.2 multiplied by 300 …"
Everyone immediately estimated in their hearts, and the lowest total price was about 4 million yuan.
Among this group of people, the only one who didn't feel any pressure about 4 million yuan was Chen Hansheng, so he ate with a normal expression, while the others were calculating in their hearts.
Gao Wen and Li Na both felt that this was an astronomical number, but Wang Zibo and Bian Shishi were very calm, they didn't even consider buying a villa, they just wanted to have a small house of 80 square meters in the future.
"Old Lv, do they need to buy a villa?"
Liang Meijuan didn't understand, "Isn't it too big?"
Xiao Hongwei and Chen Zhaojun also didn't understand, even Xiao Rongyu felt puzzled, "Mom, Xiao Chen and I can just buy a house, we don't need to live in a villa."
"I'm just saying, let's see it in the afternoon."
Lv Yuqing smiled and changed the topic.
After dinner, when Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan were paying the bill, Lv Yuqing pulled her husband and said, "Old Xiao, you have to support me in buying a villa in the afternoon. If we can't, we can sell a house and pool our savings, we can also give half of it, in case Liang Meijuan feels that we are taking advantage of her."
"No."
Xiao Hongwei asked, "Why are you so insistent on buying a villa?"
"Oh, Little Yu'er and Hansheng are both only children, when they have children in the future, I will definitely take care of them. Liang Meijuan also wants to take care of them, after all, she is a grandmother."
Lv Yuqing explained, "Didn't you notice that Liang Meijuan's expression was strange in the car this morning?"
"I noticed."
Xiao Hongwei nodded, "I thought she was carsick."
"She wasn't carsick, she just felt that I was' seizing power '."
Lv Yuqing waved her hand and said, "At that time, I said that I would take my grandson and granddaughter for a walk, but she immediately turned her head and looked out of the window, I knew that she was dissatisfied. We are all women, who can hide such thoughts from each other?"
"You're right."
Director Xiao touched his chin and analyzed, "Little Yu'er is our family's treasure, we definitely have to take care of her. Hansheng is also an only child, so Old Chen and Liang Meijuan naturally have to follow him, so …"
"So, buy a villa. We will live on different floors, and we won't have to see each other often. That would be too awkward."
Lv Yuqing raised her chin and said, "Besides, regarding taking care of the children, I will be generous and not compete with her. When she is tired, I will carry her over. Meijuan is a good person, but she is a little narrow-minded."
"That's right!"
Director Xiao felt that this was a long-term plan, "Then buy a villa, and don't sulk and say that we will take half of it. Since Hansheng took the initiative to mention it, he will definitely want to take all of it."
"I just don't want to owe Liang Meijuan."
Lv Yuqing snorted, "Her son is rich, but does Little Yu'er lack money?"
Xiao Hongwei smiled and didn't say anything. Although his wife was complaining now, after seeing Liang Meijuan, they would talk intimately again. In fact, this was life.
Thinking about the future, it was so good.
I hope that everything will develop as expected.
