Chapter 292 The Confidence of Nebula X1

After reading Huang Zhang's blog, Fu Yibai returned the tablet to Guo Zhenni, his expression unchanged.

"Mr. Fu, do you need a response?"

"No rush."

Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table.

"I know Huang Zhang. He has a technical background and is indeed serious about making products."

But he has one flaw: he takes himself too seriously.

Guo Zhenni remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

He believes that mobile phones are tools, not works of art, so design and user experience are not important, as long as the parameters are sufficient and the system is stable.

This approach worked fine in the feature phone era, but in the smartphone era, it's a dead end.

Fu Yibai straightened up, his tone calm.

"Let him talk, the more he talks, the better."

Guo Zhenni was stunned for a moment.

"He is now questioning our pre-sale data and the stability of our system, which is all to create buzz for us."

The more netizens argue, the higher the popularity of Nebula X1 becomes.

Once users receive the actual device, all doubts will become meaningless.

He paused, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"Moreover, he said that our Android development cycle is less than a year, questioning its maturity—this is handing us ammunition."

Guo Zhenni blinked.

You mean...

"Star Technology started developing Nebula X1 in 2007, and we got the Android system earlier than others."

This is something the outside world doesn't know.

Guo Zhenni's eyes lit up.

"We'll release this information when the time is right."

Let the market know that the Nebula X1 is not a hastily launched, half-finished product, but a mature product that has been refined over nearly two years.

Huang Zhang's initial skepticism about the "development cycle being less than a year" will ultimately backfire and prove him wrong.

"clear."

Guo Zhenni quickly jotted it down in her notebook.

"Tell Liu Siyuan that the feedback from the first batch of users is very important."

After-sales service must be up to par, and user feedback must be responded to in the shortest possible time.

After the first batch of goods was shipped, a special rapid response team was set up to summarize user feedback daily, and solutions to technical problems had to be provided within two days.

"clear."

Guo Zhenni closed her notebook and stood up.

"Mr. Fu, I'll get back to work now."

"Um."

The office door closed gently.

Fu Yibai leaned back in his seat, his thoughts drifting.

The pre-sale figures for the Nebula X1 exceeded his most optimistic expectations, but this is only the first step.

In the smartphone war, hardware is just the entry ticket; the real deciding factor is the software ecosystem and user experience.

The Meizu M8 has decent hardware, but its Windows CE application ecosystem is a major weakness.

The Nebula X1 is based on a deeply customized version of Android, and when it was launched on the app store, it was already compatible with more than 300 apps, which is an advantage that Meizu cannot catch up with in the short term.

But advantages don't last forever.

Android is open, so Meizu can switch to Android, and other manufacturers will gradually enter the market as well.

At that time, the competition will be about product iteration speed, supply chain management capabilities, and brand building capabilities.

Star Technology must build a moat in these areas.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Liu Siyuan.

"The development of the developer community for app stores needs to be accelerated."

At the same time, hardware development also needs to begin, including chips, batteries, etc.

There is no upper limit to the funding; the goal is to have over 1,000 apps compatible by the end of the year.

Liu Siyuan replied instantly.

"clear."

Fu Yibai put down his phone and continued to look through the documents on the table.

At six o'clock in the evening, Fu Yibai finished dealing with the documents at hand and rubbed his temples.

My phone vibrated.

A message from Tang Yan.

"Yibai, I'm back in Beijing!"

Are you free tonight? I'll cook you something delicious~

Fu Yibai smiled and typed a reply.

"Okay. What time?"

Tang Yan replied instantly.

"Seven o'clock! At my house!"

Fu Yibai put down his phone, stood up, picked up his coat, and walked outside.

Guo Zhenni and others were waiting in the corridor. When they saw him come out, they went up to greet him.

"Mr. Fu, where are we going?"

"Tang Yan's family."

Guo Zhenni nodded and followed him toward the elevator.

At 6:30, the car came to a stop in front of a high-end apartment building.

Fu Yibai told Guo Zhenni and her bodyguard to go back and rest, and that they would come to pick him up the next morning.

Once upstairs, the doorbell rang once and the door was opened.

"Yi Bai!"

She tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, then pulled him inside.

"Come in quickly, the food will be ready soon."

Fu Yibai changed into slippers and walked into the living room.

The aroma of braised pork ribs wafted in the air.

The pot in the kitchen was still steaming, and several plates of chopped side dishes—green peppers, shredded potatoes, scallions, ginger, and garlic—were placed on the stove.

"Please sit for a while, there's one more dish."

Tang Yan pushed him onto the sofa and ran back to the kitchen.

Not long after, Tang Yan came out carrying the dishes.

Three dishes and one soup: braised pork ribs, stir-fried pork with green peppers, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of steaming hot tomato and egg drop soup.

"Alright, alright, come and eat."

She sat down at the table, rested her chin on her hands, and looked at him.

Fu Yibai walked over, sat down opposite her, and put a piece of pork rib into his mouth.

"tasty."

Tang Yan's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"real?"

"Um."

Fu Yibai picked up another piece.

"Your cooking skills have improved dramatically."

"Of course."

Tang Yan gave a smug hum and picked up a piece for herself.

"When I was filming in Hengdian, I would learn to cook from the master chef on set whenever I had free time."

The head chef said I have talent.

"What talent? People are just too embarrassed to call you stupid."

"Fu Yibai!"

Tang Yan put down her chopsticks and glared at him, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"If you say that again, I won't give you any more."

"I'm not going to say anything more."

Fu Yibai smiled and picked up another piece of pork rib.

Tang Yan snorted and picked up her chopsticks again.

After finishing her meal, Tang Yan cleared away the dishes.

Fu Yibai went to take a shower.

When Tang Yan came out of the bathroom, she had already changed her clothes.

She was wearing a creamy white silk nightgown, her alluring figure partially concealed.

"Are you full? Would you like anything else?"

Tang Yan leaned against the bedroom door, her eyes sparkling.

What do you think?

Fu Yibai picked the woman up by the waist and threw her onto the bed.
