Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qu Li met Zhang Yaqin with Lei Jun with reverence, this slightly legendary IT person, but unfortunately he spent the golden years of his career at Microsoft for the elderly. It is said that he often wrote books during this period, and gave it to Zhong Nanhai’s leader lecture.

Seeing such a genius, Qu Li felt confused. If he was so smart, there would be no need to write novels. People are different.

"I've wanted to know you for a long time. Wang Jian said that you would find me sooner or later. I didn't expect to wait for such a day." Zhang Yaqin's opening like this, how can he accept it?

"On the way forward for my dream, only you people can help me. You may not know how anxious I am to promote cloud computing, big data analysis and artificial intelligence research in Jumei. I don't care about money, I care about The most important thing is: the first emperor's business was not halfway, but the middle road collapsed..."

"Hehe, I believe it. I heard that you have been under a lot of pressure in Jumei and Glory, so why do you still come to me?" Zhang Yaqin knew Qu Li from many people, and knew that he was not learned, but he was a talented person. sentimental people.

"I said a few years ago that there are three ways to defeat the Winter League, and I am practicing them one by one. The success of Honor mobile phones is beyond my imagination. We have unprecedented opportunities, but we are also facing a serious problem. Soul." Qu Li said unhurriedly

"It's useless to ask me for such an important issue." Zhang Yaqin is very self-aware

"You can't, I can't, and Lei Jun can't, but together we can see the chance of success, and the success of Glory will not subvert Microsoft, but take the initiative in the new track..." Qu Li thought he Is the employer affectionate

"Are you serious, we can add up the three?" Zhang Yaqin felt that he was bragging

"Honor first solves the problem of existence and non-existence, and then thinks about how to become Zhongyingxin and Zhongyinghun: the chip adopts ARM architecture, public version IP; the mobile operating system is based on open source Android, but other smart devices are not necessarily Already..." Qu Li talked eloquently

Hearing this, Zhang Yaqin became interested. When he asked about the details, Qu Li was dumbfounded. Fortunately, Mr. Lei was here to communicate with him.

As the topic deepened, Qu Li talked about his dream of building a car. Pure electric cars are just the beginning, and their ultimate goal is autonomous driving.

"Don't think this is a dream. An Israeli company called Mobileye has opened up a track called advanced driver assistance. I and Northern Lights jointly invested in Spreadtrum founder Mr. Chen Tong and established a company called Waze..."

"I didn't expect that there would be an entrepreneur like you in Zhongying. This is really a genius idea, so creative..."

"It's overrated, there is basically no originality, I just synthesized some ideas..."

"You can do everything you want, that's too abnormal!"

Qu Li just smiled when he heard this, and didn't continue to say self-effacing words:

"I sincerely invite you to join Glory, raise a banner of recruiting talents, and develop our own operating system and self-driving cars..."

"Leaving Microsoft was a difficult choice."

"Are you going to waste your talent and ambition at Microsoft? The money problem is easy to solve, and you won't suffer..."

"It's not about money, let me think about it again."

"I can't guarantee that Glory will succeed, but we have the best opportunity, and the huge profits give us more choices..."

Although Qu Li, Lei Jun and Zhang Yaqin talked about Shenghuan and felt that he was a little moved, they still failed to persuade Zhang Yaqin to join Glory.

On the way back to Glory, Qu Li suddenly remembered something: "Did that company called Segway agree to be acquired?"

"It's almost there." Lei Jun responded

The Segway Qu Li mentioned is a self-balancing scooter company in the United States, which has a large number of patents. In November last year, Segway’s chief technology officer, Doug Field, was poached by Qiaobusi to become the vice president of Apple’s industrial design department. Later this person was poached by Tesla...

How to put it, Musk said that Greg Field is one of the most talented engineers in the world, let alone right or wrong, anyway, they always like to use exaggerated words to evaluate. The key is that the technology of the balance car can be applied to the electric car.

For example, traditional cars used to have a spare tire, but electric cars don’t. The key lies in the tram’s self-balancing system. Even if two tires blow out, the tram can still run.

Of course, the balance car business can also be done. It doesn’t make a lot of money but is high enough. Qu Li also found an opportunity to acquire the drone company in Pengcheng. He is accumulating strength. After the first big crisis, the Honor drone will be launched.

At this time, there were three big cats and two small cats in Dajiang, and the founder's arrogance had not yet been cultivated, so it was easy to buy it, and he didn't need to make a move at all.

"The self-balancing car is too expensive. After we acquire it..." Mr. Lei didn't want to acquire Segway, and it is not a good thing to diversify too early.

"The cost of producing a self-balancing scooter in the United States is of course expensive, but it's different in China. All kinds of spare parts, including manufacturing, are very low." Qu Li knew that a company called Coarse Grain Mobile Ecological Chain No. 9 self-balancing scooter acquired Segway After that, we will sell balance cars within 5,000 yuan.

I haven’t discussed with Lei Jun about the car building. When it comes to cloud services, at least to synchronize contacts, text messages, photos, etc., don’t set up servers yourself, use Amazon’s cloud services in the United States, and use Amazon’s cloud services in Europe and China. Japan and South Korea use Jumei's cloud services.

"Is the cloud service you mentioned really work?"

"Who knows, Amazon can do it. Even if we can't do it temporarily, we can accumulate enough experience and we can do it in two or three years." Even if Qu Li doesn't remember how Alibaba Cloud succeeded, he still knows the key points. Whether the railway 12306 website is paralyzed has become the best litmus test.

After talking about some things in Jumei, and then talking about Jinshan, the relationship between Lei Jun and Jinshan is constantly arguing and chaotic. Qu Li previously talked about WPS's overseas strategy, starting from the mobile terminal, opening up popularity, and paying through subscriptions, rather than one-time copyright sales.

The current situation is that Kingsoft has developed the Android version of WPS for Honor, but it is not known whether it has any plans for overseas development.

"How about Jinshan's online games?"

"The annual revenue is only 600 million yuan, accounting for nearly 70% of Jinshan Company."

"Oh, that's a pity." Qu Li regretted

"how?"

"I originally wanted to acquire a game company, but I thought that Jinshan's Xishanju is very famous."

"What did you buy the game company for?" Lei Jun wondered

"You don't understand even if you tell me." Qu Li blurted out without thinking.

"..."

"Some people think that the game 3D engine can assist the film and television industry in post-production special effects and automatic driving modeling. I invested in a game company in North America. They make online games similar to DOTA, and they lack game publishing experience in China."

"You can just say the last reason? Jinshan..." Lei Jun

"I didn't say it must be Jinshan. The Ninetowns are good. Without World of Warcraft, they should be miserable. This is easier." Qu Li

"Ninetowns and you are not in the same way, don't worry, I'll ask..." Lei Jun suddenly felt that this was an opportunity, Qu Li is quite a devilish person, just in case...

"Okay, let's make a decision earlier. I have invested 20 million US dollars in that game company in the United States, and I am very confident in this game..." Qu Li didn't want to waste time

"Don't worry, it will be soon."
