Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Before this year's Wuzhen Internet Conference, the "officials" gathered together for a high-profile inspection, which was somewhat surprising. Lu Qi introduced the company's development to everyone. Unexpectedly, the leader was very familiar with it and told many things.

What kind of company is Time Jumei? The most appropriate explanation should be: Internet technology company.

The genes that Qu Li injected into this company are "pragmatism", "flexibility" and "long-termism". Time Jumei has grown from a Taobao online store to one that can keep pace with Taobao. How could it be possible without "change"? How can we have "self-built logistics" and "cloud computing" if we don't adhere to "long-termism"?

"What other businesses are you planning to develop in the future?" the leader suddenly asked.

"The characteristic of the Internet industry is that it has no boundaries, and it is difficult to say what we will do in the future." Qu Li took the initiative to take over the topic: "However, e-commerce retail, cloud and search should persist for a long time; social entertainment such as WeChat, Xiaohongshu, and Instagram It’s hard to say. Whether it will exist in ten years is a question; I think there are many problems in financial services now. It remains to be seen whether it will still have the value to exist after the relevant departments strengthen supervision. Whether it will become independent from Shijimei …”

"My idea is that Time Jumei will conduct in-depth research on the underlying technologies of the IT Internet industry, such as artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, CPU, GPU..."

"We feel that algorithms and computing power may become the foundation of the future world. Whether it is cloud computing, supercomputers, or possible quantum computers, they can all serve to improve computing power..."

"In other words, all external applications are just appearances. We are an Internet technology company..." Qu Li concluded: "Using our technological advantages to lead the whole society into the digital information age may be the only thing we can be sure of in the future. Direction of development."

"Bah bang bang!" The leader took the initiative to applaud Qu Li and then made a speech.

Qu Li is indeed different from ordinary entrepreneurs. His thoughts, structure and attitude are different, which allows leaders to see the future of private enterprises.

Finally, the "official family" encouraged all employees of Time Jumei, hoping to make more contributions to the construction of the national economy...

After the leader left, Shiguang Jumei continued the meeting to "study" the leader's instructions and what Qu Li said before.

Regarding the future of Time Jumei, everyone has indeed discussed it, but no conclusion has been formed yet. Qu Li's "final decision" today is a bit inappropriate no matter how you look at it. After all, he is the one among Jumei's senior management who is least knowledgeable about technology.

Lu Qi is more inclined to focus on artificial intelligence and big data algorithms; Qu Li wants to improve computing power, so he has to develop his own processors CPU, GPU, as well as TPU, DPU, NPU and other special chips, including quantum computers, or in In Qu Li's mind, cloud computing is more important than artificial intelligence. Even if chatgpt appears in the future, it will still be trained based on the Time Cloud platform.

To put it simply, Lu Qi wants time to gather beauty and become lighter, but Qu Li wants time to gather beauty and become heavier. Who is right and who is wrong? Anyway, Qu Li couldn't guarantee that he would be right, but that didn't stop him from letting time move in the direction he wanted. After all, this was his company.

Since there are different opinions, let’s continue the meeting. Amazon launched their first chip in 2013, and later had three product lines: network chips, server chips, and self-developed chips for artificial intelligence and machine learning. Google also has its own TPU. Although Microsoft has no plans, it has everything from databases to various development tools. Isn’t it tough?

"As an Internet technology company with a market value of more than 1 trillion yuan, we cannot just focus on the present, we must leave enough strategic space for ourselves..." Qu Li

Lu Qi has been working hard at Time Jumei for many years, but Qu Li is the creator of the legend. The final result is no surprise and is still based on his ideas.

After unifying the thoughts of Time Jumei, the company has undergone new changes. Cloud computing revenue is not enough, but its status has been greatly improved. E-commerce retail was originally the core, but now it has to give up its core position. If it is not handled well, , there will definitely be many problems in the future.

It was time for a job rotation, so Qu Li went to ask Huang Zheng for his opinion.

"I think you are right. Cloud computing can become infrastructure, e-commerce retail is the foundation of our survival, and artificial intelligence big data algorithms can serve e-commerce..." Huang Zheng said calmly

"But how to prove it?" Qu Li

"..." Huang Zheng was dumbfounded. Qu Li had the courage to give up social entertainment and financial services because he was the founder, but WeChat and Instagram had just become popular global apps and had not yet died. How could he know how to prove it?

"Shijiang Financial Services serves Shijiang Jumei users. WeChat and Xiaohongshu can attract traffic to Jumei Juhuasuan, but this is not their task." Qu Li explained

Huang Zheng knew very well that when he took over WeChat and Instagram, Qu Li made it clear that these and Shopee are two independently operated companies, which means that the KPI assessment of the WeChat team does not include helping Shopee with advertising.

"Xu Lei and Dadongzi will leave Jumei and Juhuasuan. One of them will choose Yunhe Search, and the other will choose social entertainment..." Qu Li continued to ask: "Which one do you want?"

"You want me?" Huang Zheng knew that Qu Li had arrangements for him, otherwise there would be no need to ask in person.

"Juhuasuan, Jumei focuses on brands and stores. There is no need to make big changes. Lu Chengting is suitable for it. I hope Juhuasuan will make some changes, focus on products, reduce the importance of stores, and use big data algorithms to strengthen Promote hot products, do a good job in gathering factories, and at the same time develop e-commerce of fresh agricultural products..."

"I found that Taobao wants to sell goods to rural areas. We changed it and sold rural goods to cities. We cooperated with EMS, Tongda Network, and Jumei Logistics to open up the logistics network from rural to urban areas and help rural areas get rid of poverty. , realize our value..."

Huang Zheng suppressed the surprise in his heart. Many of Qu Li's ideas coincided with his. If he went out to start a business at this time, he would also choose this direction. This method, Qu Li has now spoken out, and the execution of the Time Jumei team Even without him, there must still be someone who can do this well. Even if he resigns and starts a business, he will not have a chance...

"Rural e-commerce?" Huang Zheng

"It's not about rural e-commerce. It's about helping rural areas get rich first. They will only consume on our platform when they have money. This is a two-for-one thing." Qu Li, the reason why he approached Huang Zheng was because there were other Some professionals do not want to participate in job rotation, such as Zhou Ting in logistics, Xu Xiaoqin in personnel, and Du Jiuming of Time Financial Services cannot do without him at this time. The current CFO Bian Liang is not suitable for job rotation.

In addition, Lin Bing will return to the head office from the Yunhe search department and fully participate in the management of other departments. The scale of job rotations and adjustments this year is somewhat large because Qu Li has determined the collective decision-making model of Time Jumei.
