Chapter 518: Do you miss me more or my daughter more?

It was May 20th, Saturday, when Zhou Jing returned to BJ.

Gu Jia arrived at the airport early and was waiting outside the airport exit corridor. As soon as Zhou Jing came out of the corridor, he recognized Gu Jia and squeezed out of the crowd to stand beside her.

Today, Gu Jia was wearing a light green skirt, with her beautiful long hair draped over her shoulders. She was a fresh, fashionable and beautiful urban girl with a pretty face and a good figure. She was particularly eye-catching standing in the crowd, and it was hard not to recognize her.

"Welcome back, boss. Are you tired?"

Gu Jia immediately took Zhou Jing's arm and said with a smile.

"I'm tired. You didn't even carry my bag for me."

Zhou Jing pushed the suitcase with his left hand and put his arm around Teacher Gu's slender waist with his right hand.

"Here, boss, you've worked hard. Did the discussion go well?"

Gu Jia took the bag from Zhou Jing's back and carried it. In the past few days, the boy went from BJ to Tangdu, from Tangdu to Shenzhen, and then went to Shanghai, Suzhou and other places, and then went to Tangdu and returned to BJ. The continuous long-distance travel must have been difficult.

"It goes smoothly. The bigger the business, the smoother it goes."

Zhou Jing put his hand on Teacher Gu's shoulder and smoothed Teacher Gu's hair. The fresh fragrance of Teacher Gu's hair filled his nose.

“Is it complicated to collect orders from foreign trade companies?”

When they arrived at the car, Gu Jia opened the trunk and said.

"It's not complicated. They are all regular foreign trade companies. Pay a 50% deposit first."

Zhou Jing put the suitcase in the car, closed the trunk and got in.

Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. has had a large cash outflow recently and owes a lot of debts to suppliers.

Gu Jia got in the car, lifted up her skirt and started the car. "How much does it cost to export a mobile phone abroad?"

"All settlements are in US dollars, which converts to RMB 600 to less than 1,500."

Zhou Jing picked up Gu Jia's thermos cup, took a sip of water and said.

"The development of domestic smart phones is too fast, otherwise this phone would not be expensive if it were sold at around RMB 1,000 in China."

Gu Jia was not surprised at the retail price of the Ideal mobile phone after export. In terms of function and configuration, this Ideal mobile phone is no worse than other brands' traditional mobile phones that sell for one or two thousand yuan. Before smartphones became popular, traditional mobile phone brands could make at least one thousand yuan by selling a machine for two thousand yuan, which shows how huge the profits are.

"Core technology is very important. The profit margin of iPhone smartphones is at least 50 percent. A phone that sells for 4,000 or 5,000 yuan costs less than 2,000 yuan."

Zhou Jing doesn't think the price of Ideal's first mobile phone is too low. Four hundred and fifty is the most reasonable price. If the domestic retail price exceeds five hundred, it will be useless. Cheap low-end smartphones are only eighty or nine hundred. Smartphones at eighty or nine hundred are definitely more fun than traditional phones.

All we can say is that Zhou Jing was not reborn in the right era. If he was reborn in his senior year of high school, it would be completely different.

"They make more than NT$2,000 per phone. Last year, iPhone sold more than 70 million units, making a profit of more than NT$140 billion. It's outrageous."

It was hard for Gu Jia to imagine that a company could earn over 100 billion yuan a year just by selling mobile phones.

"This is still conservative. The actual profit is higher. The profit margin of a new machine can reach 60% or even 70%. The profit margins of high-tech industries monopolized by foreign countries are very high. Domestic brands can only make a profit if they don't master the core technology."

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia's profile and said.

"No wonder you are determined to do your own research."

"Has Zhou Zhou been well behaved these days?"

Zhou Jing opened Teacher Gu’s mobile phone to check the photo album, which contained the latest photos of his daughter.

"I cry occasionally at night because my gums hurt, but it's okay. I just need to comfort myself after crying. After more than a week of not seeing you, do you miss me more or Zhou Zhou more?"

Gu Jia glanced at the boy and said with a smile.

"I was the one who protected the baby when it was born."

Zhou Jing found it difficult to answer Teacher Gu's question. When the child was born, Gu Jia was definitely more important. Now that he hadn't seen her for a few days, it was hard to say whether he missed Gu Jia or his daughter more.

"It means that porridge is more important now."

Gu Jia smiled and said hickey.

"Equally important, do you miss me or Zhou Zhou more when you're away on a business trip for a few days?"

Zhou Jing asked back.

"I want more porridge."

Gu Jia said bluntly.

"You also said that I forgot my wife when I had a child, but you forgot your husband when you had a child."

Zhou Jing sighed.

"You may think I'm old in two years, but Zhou Zhou will never think so."

Gu Jia also sighed and said.

"I'm not Chen Shimei."

After saying this, Zhou Jing despised himself deeply in his heart. He had become a Chen Shimei, marrying and having children with Teacher Gu without telling his ex-girlfriend. In ancient times, Zhou Jing's behavior would have been despised.

When Zhou Jing got home, he heard the little girl practicing baby talk in the bedroom. Her sweet voice was very pleasant to the ears.

"Zhou Zhou, do you know who I am?"

Zhou Jing was changing his shoes next to the shoe cabinet and called towards the bedroom.

"Ah goose!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the child was stunned for a moment, then he kicked his short legs on the bed, turned over easily, and lay on his stomach, babbling at the door.

"Who's back?"

Mother Gu touched the child's face and said.

"Ah oh!"

The little girl faced the bedroom door, as if calling out.

"Don't shout, it's mom." Gu Jia put the car keys on the cabinet, went to the bathroom with Zhou Jing to wash their hands and said, "The little guy can turn over easily now and roll around. Let's go buy a set of guardrails for the big bed tomorrow."

"Bad guys are here to steal children. Whose baby is this? It's so cute. I'm sure we can sell it for a good price. Come and follow uncle."

Zhou Jing wiped his hands and went back to the bedroom, picked up the little girl from the bed and said.

"what!"

The little girl was not scared. She grinned happily and raised her little hands to scratch Zhou Jing.

"Why are you so happy? He is a bad guy who specializes in robbing children and selling them for small change. Mommy will carry you and run away."

Gu Jia stretched out her hand and said.

The little girl was not fooled and snuggled into Zhou Jing's arms.

"I know it's daddy. The little cutie misses daddy so much. Kiss daddy." Zhou Jing carefully lifted the child up. The little girl pouted and kissed Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing kissed the little girl's face and said, "So cute." "She's less than four months old and more active than other four-month-old babies." Gu Jia took off her underwear, wiped her ** with a wet wipe and said to the child, "Are you hungry?"

The child danced and jumped into Gu Jia's arms.

"What a good baby who eats well and sleeps well."

Zhou Jing gave the child to Gu Jia and went to eat.

The family had left lunch for Zhou Jing. After preparing the meal, Mother Gu said to Zhou Jing, "Are you hot, Xiao Zhou? Would you like some beer?"

"No, just drink the soup."

Zhou Jing picked up the mung bean porridge, took two sips, and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

"Dad is eating too. Let's see who eats more, you or Dad."

Gu Jia was holding the baby and feeding him, sitting next to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing took a bite of his meal and turned to Gu Jia and the child. He held the child's chubby little feet and pinched the child's cute mini toes that were as big as peanuts one by one. The pinching seemed very comfortable and the little girl spread her toes.

"Is it hot in Tangdu?"

Gu Jia changed the child's side and said.

"It's getting hot these past two days, and it's very stuffy in the house without the air conditioner on."

Zhou Jing picked up a piece of lean meat and handed it to Gu Jia's mouth and said.

"BJ is starting to get hot during the day, let's buy a fan!"

Gu Jia is worried that using air conditioning is bad for the child.

"Row."

Zhou Jing poured all the dishes into the bowl, held the bowl and ate facing Gu Jia and the child.

When the child was full, Gu Jia put down his clothes and said, "Look how delicious Daddy's food is. It's a pity that you don't have teeth now so you can't eat meat."

"Tickle Daddy."

The child’s ears were itchy, so Zhou Jing held his feet and scratched them.

"Be careful next time. It hurts when the little guy kicks you in the face." The child hadn't taken a nap today, so Gu Jia held him and coaxed him to sleep. "Go to sleep. When you wake up, mom and dad will take you out to play. If you don't go to sleep, I won't take you out."

The child's gums were uncomfortable and he had not been able to rest well these past few nights, so he slept more during the day. He felt a little sleepy at this moment, so he snuggled into Gu Jia's arms and closed his eyes.

After Zhou Jing finished his meal, the child fell asleep. Gu Jia carried the child to the bedroom and put him in the crib. The child could roll over, and there was no guardrail on the big bed, so she didn't dare leave the child alone on the big bed without an adult watching.

"You should take a rest too."

Gu Jia said as she put the child's things on the bed aside.

"I can't sleep. Does Zhou Zhou need to buy some clothes?"

Zhou Jing sat next to the crib and gently held the hand of the sleeping baby.

"We need to buy some summer clothes. Let's go buy them tomorrow." Gu Jia stood beside Zhou Jing and looked at the child and said, "He's growing up fast. He was so small when he was just born."

"Life is amazing. How is the water now?"

Zhou Jing lay on the bed with his arms around Gu Jia's waist, and arched his back in Gu Jia's arms.

"It's only enough for Zhou Zhou to eat." Gu Jia pushed the boy away and said, "I heard that breast milk has less and less nutrition after a certain period of time. Should I feed Zhou Zhou with milk powder every day?"

"Okay, how is the company's revenue this month?"

Zhou Jing did not require Gu Jia to breastfeed the child. Breastfeeding is very hard for women and they need to pay attention to their diet and cannot eat whatever they want.

"It should be much better than last month. The number of mobile downloads of Happy Elimination and Rhythm Master has increased rapidly. The efficiency of the project department has improved a lot. The headquarters' revenue is expected to reach about 1.2 million, with a profit of about million. Diaoyutai Villa No. needs a lot of money. Do you want to continue the discussion?"

Because the Tangdu branch of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. undertakes many basic project tasks, the BJ headquarters can have more time to work on big projects.

"Look at the others."

Zhou Jing shook his head. He had seen a villa before and the owner's offer was much higher than the average price in the area. The price of the whole villa would increase by nearly two million. Zhou Jing had money but he didn't waste it. He could choose a better one by adding a few hundred thousand more.

"Take a rest. Zhou Zhou's crying at night will affect your rest."

Gu Jia lay on her pillow and covered their stomachs with a small quilt.

Zhou Jing looked at his phone and closed his eyes, thinking about the company's affairs in his mind. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. will not see much improvement this year. King Summoning has great potential. If it is well managed, it will not be a problem to earn tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars a year. However, it will take a year or so to accumulate players after the game is launched. This year's focus is Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.

Traditional mobile phones alone are expected to bring Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. more than 3 billion in net profits this year. Add in Bluetooth speakers and power banks, and Ideal Technology will hopefully bring in more than 6 billion in net profits. If smartphones can be successfully connected and Ideal phones successfully enter the smartphone market, Ideal Technology will be able to continue to make great strides next year and hopefully become one of the top five mobile phone brands in China.

However, Zhou Jing is not blindly optimistic. The competition in the smartphone market is too fierce. The later you enter the market, the harder it is to stand out. Brands like HW, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo that survived the fierce competition in the past all released their smartphones 12 years ago.

The well-known latecomers, Hammer and LeTV, entered the smartphone market in 14 and 15 respectively. Both failed. The boss of the latter fled, while the former stayed in China and worked hard to pay off debts.

Zhou Jing feels it is a pity about the Hammer phone. The software system is very advanced, but the hardware is rubbish. In addition, the smartphone market was already mature due to late entry, and the products of new forces had obvious defects and there was no chance for trial and error. If the Hammer phone had been released two or three years earlier, it would have had a great chance of success.

Zhou Jing's Ideal smartphone will be released in September this year, and the competition is very fierce. HW, Xiaomi and others will release their second-generation smartphones this year. If Ideal smartphone wants to have a chance of survival, it must make its first generation the second best among its competitors. At least, it must ensure the basic functions and experience of the smartphone without any obvious defects.

Zhou Jing is not worried about the software system of the Ideal smartphone. The system is an architecture designed by Zhou Jing himself. The software system is relatively advanced, the hardware is also well tuned, and the memory is configured according to the second-generation smartphone. What Zhou Jing is worried about is being taken advantage of by competitors. Zhou Jing is now alone and weak, and does not know much about real business wars.

After lying down for a while, Zhou Jing got up and went to the study. He turned on the computer and browsed WB on his mobile phone to check the digital channels. As Ideal mobile phones have been selling well both at home and abroad, they have been attacked non-stop recently. However, the more they are attacked, the more popular they become.

Zhou Jing could understand that the emergence of Ideal Mobile Phone had touched upon the cakes of many people, and would touch upon the cakes of more and more people in the future. Zhou Jing was mentally prepared for a long-term fight.

There are people in the digital circle who attack Ideal Mobile and there are also those who support it. All users have used expensive traditional mobile phones from brands like Nokia and Samsung. They know that Ideal Mobile has a bad conscience. Those who attack Ideal Mobile also know that. Through Ideal Mobile, many people have realized that mobile phones with similar configurations and better functions do not have to be that expensive.

Zhou Jing is not interested in posts attacking or praising Ideal Mobile Phone. He is only interested in newly released smartphones. Zhou Jing carefully checks the configurations and parameters of the new smartphones revealed by friendly competitors.

"Is there anything important in the suitcase?"

Gu Jia opened Zhou Jing's suitcase to see if there was any clothing that needed to be washed.

"No."

Zhou Jing took the latest test report on smartphones made by the testing team of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. from the suitcase. There was also a machine produced the day before yesterday after the latest test optimization. Zhou Jing took ten of them, one for himself and one for Gu Jia respectively, and the others would be taken to the company next week for BJ Company to test.

“What optimizations have been made in this batch?”

Gu Jia came to the study to experience the latest batch of Ideal smartphones.

"Have you not encountered any of these, as well as the problems at the beginning of the month?"

Zhou Jing took out the mobile phone optimization report from the file bag and gave it to Gu Jia.

"No, bugs are rare events."

Gu Jia looked at the optimization report carefully. The optimization report was very detailed and listed the bugs, causes and solutions. Some bugs were not a problem for Gu Jia and did not affect normal use.

“Although some bugs are rare events, they will be infinitely magnified and exaggerated if they are caught by competitors.”

Zhou Jing’s requirement for products is to pursue perfection and strive for perfection. Although it is impossible to truly achieve perfection, we cannot relax our attitude and must try our best to provide users with a good experience.
