Chapter 380: Mr. Lei was fooled, Gree joined Xingyi Smart Home!
We have to give some face to Mr. Lei and treat him well.

After all, when Wang Yi was short of money in his previous life, he had to be grateful for Xiaomi's cost-effectiveness.

Even though Wang Yi knew that Mr. Lei came to the company to inspect and purchase goods.

Technology, talents, projects, anything you like will be poached away!

So much so that Wang Yi had to guard against Mr. Lei closely.

With Wang Yi's instructions, only Song Sining and Chen Chuanqing attended the banquet in the evening.

These two people cannot be dug out even if you want to.

Needless to say, Song Sining is Wang Yi's person.

Chen Chuanqing originally came from Vancl and was also Wang Yi's confidant. Even if Mr. Lei said something wonderful, Chen Chuanqing would not give up his position as vice president of Mayu Technology and return to Vancl.

After all, when Chen Chuanqing was at Vancl, he was just an assistant. It was Wang Yi who recognized his talent and promoted him out of the ordinary, which enabled Chen Chuanqing to have his current status.

Once his status exceeds that of the CEO of Vancl, he will naturally not go back.

That’s right, the current vice president of Mayu Technology’s position has already surpassed that of Vancl’s chairman.

Even if one is the main one and the other is the deputy.

After all, Mayu Technology has developed too rapidly. Not to mention Vancl, even the current Xiaomi Technology cannot compare with Mayu Technology.

Therefore, no matter how Lei Jun tried to show his goodwill during the dinner, Chen Chuanqing remained unmoved and even felt that it was meaningless.

Instead, he toasted Mr. Lei with a lot more wine and didn't stop until he made him fall down drunk.

When Chen Chuanqing was the assistant to the operations director at Vancl, he often accompanied his superiors to drink, and he had already mastered the skill.

Not only did he get Mr. Lei drunk, he also knocked down Lao Li and several others.

In the end, I had to be helped to the hotel.

In response, Song Si Ning just smiled and said nothing.

The next day, Lei Bush woke up with a headache and a confused look on his face:
"who am I?"

"where am I?"

"what happened?"

After being stunned for a long time, Lei Bushi finally remembered everything and slapped his head:
"Damn! People from Shandong Province can really drink!"

"My headache is killing me!"

I looked at the time again, it was ten o'clock!
He quickly woke up his subordinates who were also sleeping soundly in the next room.

"Damn! Are we all drunk?" Old Li's mouth twitched: "The Chen guy can really drink!"

Just a few words later, Chen Chuanqing called and Lei Dong pressed the answer button:
"Boss Lei, are you up yet? We have prepared a lunch, and we won't leave until we are drunk!"

The corner of Rebus's mouth twitched: "..."

Lao Li's face turned dark: "..."

Others are speechless...

I drank too much last night, and if I drink again at noon today, I’ll be in trouble.

Lao Li even muttered: "Don't people in Shandong Province have CDs when they drink?"

Others quickly signaled to Lei Bushi: "No more drinking, refuse now!"

Lei Bushi sighed: "Thank you for the hospitality, President Chen, but we have to go back to the capital, I'm really sorry."

"Oh, that's unfortunate." Chen Chuanqing smiled: "How about this, Mr. Lei, have lunch before leaving!"

Lei Bushi's face changed drastically, and he felt the alcohol from last night coming back to him again: "No, really no, we have booked the tickets, let's hurry up."

"Okay then, I'll arrange for someone to take you there. You're welcome to come again next time."

"Next time for sure!" Lei Bushi said, but in his heart he said, "I'm going to die!"

This time, Lei Jun originally planned to come to Xingyi Technology to learn from others, but was assigned to Mayu Technology instead.

I originally planned to steal some skills from the R&D department of Mayu Technology, but ended up going directly to the clothing factory and didn't steal anything.

Fortunately, we finally arrived at the exhibition hall and were dazzled by so many designs and styles.

I finally wrote it down and plan to go back and copy it!

As a result, I drank so much that night that I forgot everything in the morning!

"That's enough!"

"Damn, this has been planned a long time ago, right?"

"Chen Chuanqing got us drunk on purpose!"

Lei Bushi suddenly realized, and the others nodded one after another. Lao Li even said:
"Yes, the more I think about it, the more it seems like a routine. I also wrote down a few designs, but now I have forgotten them all."

"Maybe not. Maybe the people of Lu Province are just hospitable. We can't use our own mean heart to judge others."

"Hospitality? You call this hospitality? It's clearly hospitality!"

"Ah, what's the point of talking about this now? Let's go quickly. If we get dragged into another drinking party, we'll be done for."

"Yes, let's go!"

The group went downstairs quickly, and the business car arranged by Mayu Technology had already arrived downstairs.

Chen Chuanqing came to see them off personally and repeatedly invited them to stay until after the meal, but everyone declined.

As for whether it is hospitality or enthusiasm?

No one can explain this clearly.

On the way, Lei Zong thought more and more that something was wrong, so he simply said:

"I sent an internal letter when I got back. Xiaomi Technology added a rule that when meeting customers from a certain province, we should not drink unless necessary, as it would interfere with our work."

"Okay, this one is good!"

In the south, people drink tea when doing business, while in the north, people drink wine when doing business.

The logic is different, but technology companies still don’t like the drinking culture.

Wang Yi ignored Xiaomi.

Instead, on the next day, he went to JD.com’s headquarters to attend a strategic cooperation press conference.

Although the two parties had already reached an agreement on cooperation and signed a letter of intent for investment two days ago, today was a formal signing ceremony with many media present.

It is hard not to be shocked by the powerful combination of Xingyi Technology and JD.com.

So much so that even Jack Ma was alarmed!
JD.com alone poses a huge threat to Taobao.

Now with the support of Xingyi Technology, JD.com has become even more powerful, and the consequences can be imagined.

After the signing ceremony, both parties shook hands and took photos.

Then there was the routine media question and answer session:
"Mr. Wang, you invested in iFlytek because you valued its AI technology. Now you have invested in JD.com. What did you value?"

Wang Yi said: "I am attracted by JD.com's service, or the timeliness of its logistics. As we all know, if you buy goods on other platforms, the goods will take several days to arrive. But if you buy goods on JD.com, you can place an order today and the goods will arrive tomorrow, thanks to JD.com's self-operated categories and JD.com logistics. I personally think that this kind of service is the efficiency that e-commerce should have."

"Mr. Wang, will Xingyi Technology cooperate with JD Logistics in the future?"

"Xingyi Technology has reached an all-round cooperation with JD Logistics. In the future, the products of Xingyi Technology and Mayu Technology will be stored in JD warehouses in addition to Xingyi Technology's warehouses. In places where it is impossible to deliver within one hour, they will be shipped by nearby JD warehouses and delivered by the fastest JD Logistics."

"Mr. Liu, is Xingyi Technology's investment this time all in cash?"

Mr. Liu replied, "Not entirely. Xingyi Technology invested 100 billion yuan in a strategic investment in JD.com and acquired a 20% stake. This includes 40 billion yuan in cash, advertising services worth 35 billion yuan in the next five years, and a first-level chat portal worth 25 billion yuan for five years! Our cooperation with Xingyi Technology is a multi-level, all-round strategic cooperation."

"Mr. Wang, JD.com is currently valued at 500 billion. How much do you think JD.com's valuation will be before it goes public?"

Wang Yi replied: "Fifty billion is just the starting point. JD.com will go public in two years and its market value will exceed 1000 billion yuan. There is no pressure at all."

"Mr. Wang, you are so optimistic about JD.com, but is it because you invested in JD.com that you are supporting JD.com and building momentum for it?"

Wang Yi waved his hand and said: "JD.com does not need to create hype. Even if we do not invest in JD.com this time, other companies will invest in JD.com. Gold will always shine. JD.com Logistics and self-operation are both stable, so we can go further."

"Director Liu, Director Wang just said that JD.com will go public within two years. Is that about one year or two years?"

"This..." Director Liu was silent. This question was so tricky that he could only look at Wang Yi.

This matter depends on the major shareholders. If the major shareholders are supportive, the company will be listed next year. If the major shareholders are not supportive, it will be listed the year after next.

Wang Yi said with a smile: "Next year, JD.com will definitely go public! I said so!"

In its previous life, Tencent only invested in JD.com in March 2014. JD.com received the investment and had money, and successfully went public in May.

Now that Wang Yi has invested in JD.com two years in advance and given JD.com another year to develop, there will be no problem in going public in 2013 and there is no need to wait until 2014.

Only by going public earlier and developing faster can JD.com have a better future.

Of course, Wang Yi can cash out part of the money at the right time and make more money.

Just like Tencent in its previous life, it directly distributed JD.com stocks to employees as bonuses.

I can only say that it was a very cool move.

Similarly, Wang Yi can also consider doing this.

This distribution to employees is equivalent to indirect cashing out.

After all, even if you don’t share JD.com’s shares, you still have to pay year-end bonuses.

Moreover, distributing JD.com's shares to employees will not cause JD.com's stock price to plummet due to crazy share sales.

"Mr. Wang, Xingyi Technology's strategic investment in JD.com is to join forces to launch an attack on Alibaba?"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Xingyi Technology's strategic investment in JD.com is only for better development and to provide better services to users. It is not targeting any third party. Xingyi Technology advocates harmony and win-win cooperation."

Wang Yi came up with high-sounding words with ease.

But Jack Ma's mouth twitched: "Alibaba is just about to launch Tmall Genie and develop Alibaba's smart home, and you invested in JD.com and Taobao. And you still say you are not targeting Alibaba? It is obvious that you want to fight back strongly and attack Alibaba!"

The vice president agreed: "Xingyi Technology is really powerful. In the social field, it has developed Changliao, which directly competes with Penguin's WeChat. In the e-commerce field, it has invested in JD.com and attacked Alibaba. And Baidu has already done it. I don't know whether Wang Yi is very courageous or just ignorant!"

"The sky is high and the earth is thick? Damn it, there is no such word in Wang Yi's life dictionary!" Jack Ma was speechless: "They just started Meiyou Chunyufeng, and they have nothing. They dare to challenge HM and Zara, international clothing giants with a market value of 200 billion, and they succeeded and cut the other party's stock price in half!"

"Later, when we made mobile phones, we directly competed with the iPhone, and when we made tablets, we competed with the iPad. Although the Xingyi mobile phone only beat Apple in Xiaguo, the iPhone still dominates the global market. But the Xingyi tablet really beats the iPad!"

"They dared to take on Apple, Zara, and H&M. Now they are taking on Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba. Nothing is impossible."

The vice president nodded: "I just don't understand their routine. One moment they do this, the next they do that. I really don't understand!"

Jack Ma fell into deep thought: "I don't understand it either. There is no pattern at all. It seems to be random. I can't guess what he will do next!"

"Could it be that the master was beaten to death by random punches?" the vice president murmured.

Jack Ma was silent: "..."

But I have to admit that it is very likely.

The development of other companies is clear at a glance, and it is easy to see what to do next. All you have to do is plan ahead and intercept or block them in advance.

But the development of Xingyi Technology is like a random punch that kills the master, and no one knows what Wang Yi will do next.

However, it is this unpredictable approach that makes it more difficult to deal with.

Jack Ma murmured, "This move of his is a bit like the Mysterious Fist!"

There were also questions from the media at the scene:

"Mr. Liu, how will the strategic cooperation between Xingyi Technology and JD.com solve the problem of Xingyi Smart Home? If JD.com develops its own smart home, will it conflict with Xingyi Smart Home?"

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "No. JD.com has no plans to engage in smart home for the time being. As a strategic ally, JD.com will encourage major brands to join Xingyi Smart Home and jointly make Xingyi Smart Home bigger and stronger!"

……

As soon as the news came out, the entire Internet was in an uproar, and the barrage exploded:

"JD.com has given up on smart home and fully supported Xingyi Smart Home, and is also calling on major customers to join. The cooperation between the two sides is really deep."

"This is a model of strategic cooperation, and it is by no means simple."

"Even smart home has been abandoned. JD.com is going to fully turn to Xingyi Technology and become a Xingyi system."

"In addition to Mayu Technology, Xingyi Technology has also acquired AutoNavi, Sogou, Ele.me, and Noon Sunshine, and has invested in Meituan, BYD, Goertek, New Classics Media, iFlytek, and JD.com. It's really scary!"

"It's confirmed. Xingyi Technology has completely become the fourth pole outside of BAT. The future pattern will be BATX!"

"What BATX? It's obviously BAXT!"

"Be brave, XBAT!"

"Are you crazy, upstairs? How can Xingyi Technology be ranked first?"

"What? Are you dissatisfied? BAT are all Internet giants. Don't forget that Xingyi Technology is not only an Internet giant, but also a mobile phone giant and a clothing giant!"

"Just waiting for JD.com to go public. With Xingyi Technology's investment, JD.com has a bright future."

“I’m afraid that in three months, JD.com’s valuation will rise to 600 billion!”

"It won't take three months. One month will be enough."

……

For a time, the news that Xingyi Technology had become the fourth pole shocked the entire Internet.

It also caused widespread discussion about BATX or XBAT.

Wang Yi was too lazy to pay attention to this.

Developing his career well is more important than anything else.

Two days later, Wang Yi received a call from Sun Shengyu:
"Chairman, it's settled. Oaks agrees to join Xingyi Smart Home."

"Very good, well done!" Wang Yi was in a good mood.

"Chairman, this year AUX will simultaneously launch smart models of several popular models. The Xingyi smart model is 300 yuan more expensive than the ordinary model!"

Time is limited and there is no time to make a completely new product.

But it is easy to add an IOT module to a best-selling model and turn it into a Xingyi Smart Home model.

When the time comes, if consumers are willing to experience Xingyi Smart Home, they will spend an extra 300 yuan to buy the smart model.

If you want to save money, continue to buy the non-smart model which is three hundred cheaper.

Wang Yi changed the subject: "The smart model is 100 yuan more expensive, it's a bit too much. If you talk to AUX, it will be 100 yuan more. The total cost of IOT module + technical service + solution + online Xingyi Mall is 200 yuan, and AUX will make an extra yuan. There is only a yuan difference, and most consumers will go directly for the smart model!"

The current focus is to promote Xingyi Smart Home, IOT module + technical services. Wang Yi only makes 50 yuan, and AUX makes another 200 yuan, so the difference is yuan, which is not conducive to a surge in sales.

Consumers are very realistic. With a difference of three hundred yuan, it is estimated that only one-third of people will choose the smart model.

The difference is two hundred, and then 60% of people will choose the smart model.

If the difference is 150, 90% of people will choose the smart model!
"Okay, I'll communicate again!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Communicate well. In addition, you should immediately arrange for the technical team to go to the Aux factory to help them integrate the solution. Also, send the IOT module directly to the Aux factory!"

"Okay, Chairman."

Wang Yi continued: "This matter will be pushed forward quickly and officially launched next month. Let's build momentum for Oaks!"

"it is good!"

Soon, Sun Shengyu called back again: "Chairman, AUX agreed, the smart model is only 200 more expensive!"

"Very good, thank them for me." Wang Yi smiled.

Originally, AUX did not want to lower the price, thinking that at a price that was three hundred yuan more expensive, it was just right for them to make an extra hundred yuan.

But considering that JD.com is also going to make every effort to encourage major brands to join Xingyi Smart Home, maybe Gree and Midea will also join, so AUX simply reduced the price to 200 and opened the book directly!
Before the birth of Xiaomi air conditioner, AUX was the king of air conditioners.

But with Xiaomi air conditioner, the king of volume has moved.

However, the quality of AUX air conditioners is acceptable.

In his previous life, Wang Yi bought an AUX air conditioner, which could cool down quickly in 30 seconds and had very strong wind. He used it for seven or eight years without any malfunction or soreness.

Some brands of air conditioners become sour after two or three years of use...

AUX got off to a successful start and became the first air conditioner to join Xingyi Smart Home.

Mr. Liu was not idle, he went straight to Gree, the number one air-conditioning brand.

Ms. Dong of Gree had to receive him personally: "Mr. Liu, what brings you here?"

Director Liu smiled and said, "To be honest, I came here this time because I need Sister Dong's help!"

Mr. Liu is much younger than Ms. Dong, and the word "big sister" brought the two closer together.

"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, just speak up."

"It's like this. JD.com and Xingyi Technology have a strategic partnership. Mr. Wang is very supportive of JD.com, so I have to return the favor, right? Now Mr. Wang wants to build Xingyi Smart Home, but major brands are reluctant to join. So I came to you, hoping that you can set an example and get Gree to join Xingyi Smart Home! The future is the era of smart homes, and once Gree joins, it will be better for Gree's development."

Hearing this, Dong Mingzhu frowned slightly. Although she had expected this, she did not expect that Mr. Liu would actually show up in person!

"Mr. Liu, the future is indeed the era of smart home, but we at Gree also want to make our own smart home! If you ask us to join Xingyi Smart Home, isn't that..."

Mr. Liu sighed, "I understand your considerations. JD.com has also thought about doing JD Smart Home. But the problem is that the waters of smart home are too complicated. We can't solve the algorithm. We don't have chips. What else do you have besides air conditioners? You can't do Gree Smart Home with just air conditioners! It's even more impossible for users to get a Gree Smart Home just for an air conditioner. They are even too lazy to download the Gree Smart Home APP."

"This..." Miss Dong became a little withdrawn.

This is so cruel, but also so realistic.

Director Liu continued, "Sister, smart home requires a variety of supporting appliances and equipment. An air conditioner alone is not enough. Do you want to make Gree mobile phones, Gree speakers, Gree refrigerators, Gree washing machines, and Gree TVs in addition to air conditioners?"

"I..." Miss Dong was speechless for a moment.

It is understandable that this is difficult.

Mr. Liu continued, "Mr. Wang has launched the smart home chip H1, and has also mass-produced wifi chips and Bluetooth chips, creating a full range of IOT modules. And as the first to do smart home, he naturally has a lot of third-party support. He also has Changchat and Xingyi mobile phones. Just for these two reasons, most brands will not fight Mr. Wang to the death."

Miss Dong continued to remain silent: "..."

If this continues, Changchat will become an indispensable social software for consumers. And the number of Xingyi mobile phone users will exceed 100 million next year!
Based on this, no brand will fight to the death with Xingyi Technology, after all, they still have to open a public account to chat.

Gree does not have all this energy and cannot do it.

"Moreover, the IOT module of Xingyi Technology is priced at 150 yuan, and the first batch of participants will receive a subsidy of 50 yuan, so it only costs 100 yuan. With 100 yuan, Gree air conditioner can be turned into Gree smart air conditioner, and it is no problem to sell it for to yuan more. It can also be sold online in Xingyi Mall, and it can also be sold well by leveraging the traffic of Xingyi Technology and Xingyi Smart Home. Gree has one more channel and more revenue, what a great thing!"

Miss Dong nodded and took a deep breath: "Okay, Gree will join Xingyi Smart Home. But let me make it clear first, it's only for one year. If the cooperation is not good, Gree will cancel the cooperation next year!"

"No problem!" Mr. Liu agreed readily.

As long as Gree can make money and taste the sweetness of intelligence, there is no need to worry about not renewing the contract next year.

However, Miss Dong secretly thought: "Gree cannot become Gree Smart Home at the moment. In this case, it is better to join Xingyi Smart Home to test the waters and see the market. If it is possible, when the time is right, we can go our separate ways and become Gree Smart Home!"

All I can say is that everyone has their own calculations!
"Thank you, Miss Dong. I will notify Xingyi Technology and ask them to arrange a technical team to come and provide a complete solution, as well as IOT modules, and deliver them directly to the Gree factory!"

"Okay! I'll also take a look at the appeal of Xing Yi Zhi's family!"

Miss Dong nodded and said, it's just a test, there's nothing wrong with it.

What's more, smart home is very popular at the moment. If you can take advantage of it and sell more, you can also give Mr. Liu face. With the addition of a channel of Xingyi Mall, you can accumulate more experience in smart home!
No matter how you look at it, this is a good deal!
After leaving Gree, Mr. Liu immediately called Wang Yi and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm glad you did what I asked. Gree agreed to join Xingyi Smart Home!"

"Gree has joined!" Wang Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, that's awesome, really awesome!"

Now that Gree, a long-standing brand, has joined, will other brands be far behind?
If Haier and Midea also join in, then the future of Xingyi Smart Home will be promising!
Wang Yi has achieved the top-level smart home ecosystem that the Mi ecosystem in its previous life could not achieve.

As for joining this year and canceling the cooperation next year?
Wang Yi is not worried at all. Once he sees the crazy sales and horrific profits of the smart model and tastes the sweetness, he will be unable to leave it.

The same is true on the user side.

Once a habit is formed, it is inseparable.

Once users start using Xingyi Smart Home, they will stick to it and use Xingyi Smart Home for the entire series.

If Xingyi Smart Home wins over the users, it will also win over major brands and ecological chains!

Those who win users win the world.
