Top of the big era

Confirming the approval from Boss Zhou, Lei Jun continued: "So from all aspects, Qualcomm's stock will definitely fall sharply in the future."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "What are you doing? Do you still want to short Qualcomm's stock? Go and make some money in the capital market?"

Lei Jun shook his head, "I'm not as omnipotent as you. I don't know how to trade stocks."

Zhou Buqi said: "I also think Qualcomm's stock will plummet. The few Qualcomm stocks I have are being sold off in batches."

"Short?"

Lei Jun admired this very much and felt that Boss Zhou was really proficient in everything. Not only was he rich as a country, he also had the leisure and elegance to make financial investments in buying and selling stocks in the secondary market.

"If not, just sell."

Zhou Buqi didn't have much to say about this.

He really didn't short Qualcomm, he just told Senior Sister Zhen Yu to sell all the Qualcomm stocks held by Pluto and Neptune Capital.

If you go short, you can definitely make more.

But in fact, since the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, Zhou Buqi has never engaged in any short selling behavior in the US financial market. Although short selling is a conventional method in the financial market, short selling is often accompanied by malicious nature. It is enough to taste the sweetness once, and there is no need to cause vigilance and panic in the market again.

Lei Jun poured another drink, clinked glasses, and drank it all. This guy was quite happy with his drink. "Not only did the stock prices in the capital market plummet, but with the antitrust complaints from China and South Korea, and Apple's entry into the game, Qualcomm will also They are facing huge operational pressure at the legal, business and commercial levels, and even as you said, their new CEO may be fired as a result.”

Zhou Buqi said jokingly: "Boss Lei, are you targeting Qualcomm? Are you trying to add insult to injury and provide help in times of need?"

"It is not advisable to add insult to injury. Xiaomi does not have the strength, and with the island-like patent portfolio Qualcomm controls in the communications industry, it is impossible to defeat Qualcomm." Lei Jun looked serious, not joking at all, "Xiaomi should Seize this opportunity to get the best benefit for yourself, especially the strategic significance.”

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes, "Is that just giving timely help?"

Lei Jun said solemnly: "Judging from the cycle of antitrust lawsuits and the progress of lawsuits in the United States, Qualcomm will fall into an unprecedented low in the next two or three years. In two or three years, I believe Xiaomi has already After growing up, it has become one of the top three mobile phone manufacturers in China and the top five in the world. It has enough strength and market size to negotiate with Qualcomm.”

Zhou Buqi understood his plan, "Help Qualcomm stabilize its business fundamentals?"

"Yes, I need help." Lei Jun was not stating his own opinions, but rather asking for help. "Qualcomm is very powerful. They control the core intellectual property rights in this industry. Even if it is Apple may not be able to take advantage of a head-on confrontation with Qualcomm. Even if Qualcomm encounters difficulties in the next two to three years, I believe it will only be temporary. If Qualcomm is in a trough, Xiaomi will recover soon. Extending an olive branch, working together, and accompanying Qualcomm in its recovery process can help Qualcomm and Xiaomi establish an unbreakable strategic partnership.”

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

In fact, it is just smooth sailing.

Zhou Buqi is very familiar with this kind of business strategy, he uses it often.

For example, promoting the domestic mobile phone industry to deal with the problem of insufficient goods, such as promoting the development of the domestic new energy automobile industry, are actually Zhou Buqi's "smooth flow". With or without him, it can be achieved. By participating and shouting as an industry leader, he can take such prestige and achievements upon himself and continuously add weight to his social weight.

Lei Jun's thinking is similar.

Xiaomi or not, with the strength of Qualcomm, even if they suffer a fatal blow from China and South Korea, even if they go to war with Apple, they can quickly recover and regain their position as the industry leader.

In this process, if Xiaomi plays an important role and helps Qualcomm stabilize its business fundamentals with Xiaomi's large orders, it will be equivalent to becoming an important propellant for Qualcomm's business recovery, and the cooperative relationship between the two parties will be further stabilized and strengthened. Woke up.

This is of vital strategic significance to Xiaomi!

Although Xiaomi is a high-tech company, its strategic strategy is not to focus on technology research and development, but on an intelligent hardware ecosystem. Now that Xiaomi has money, it needs to continuously improve its hardware ecological product chain, rather than investing heavily in technology development.

This means that Xiaomi will never be too strong in the technical field.

Apple, Samsung, Asda, Huawei, ZTE, Nokia, Sony, etc. can develop self-developed chips, which can strategically make up for their own weaknesses and will not be completely controlled by Qualcomm. Xiaomi is not very good at this. It is difficult to have the technology and talent to do this.

what to do?

How to solve Xiaomi’s strategic shortcomings?

The plan given by Boss Lei is to promote strategic cooperation between Xiaomi and Qualcomm, so that Xiaomi can gain priority in Qualcomm’s supply process.

Zhou Buqi thinks that this idea of ​​breaking the situation is very good, "There is a great possibility that it can be done."

Lei Jun said with a smile: "If possible, when Qualcomm's stock price drops to a certain level and the opportunity matures, I will further promote the stock swap between Qualcomm and Xiaomi, and ensure that Xiaomi Being able to get priority and get Qualcomm chips as soon as possible.”

Zhou Buqi said: "I think it works, it's quite reliable."

For a company like Xiaomi that is not good at technology development but is driven by commercial development, this is indeed the best choice. A comparison shows that Lenovo, which is also driven by commercial operations, does not have such a brilliant business strategy.

Also subject to chips, Lenovo was tortured to the point of tears by Intel, but Xiaomi was able to stand in front of Qualcomm as a savior.

In terms of ability, vision and talent, Lei Junzhen is worthy of being the hidden "Rebus" in China.

Some secretaries complained before, thinking that Mr. Zhou Shaoning of Aisda was not as good as Mr. Lei.

This is so normal!

This is not on the same level at all.

Seeing that he had received his approval, Lei Jun was very happy. The drink tonight was not in vain, and said: "Then if you fight with Qualcomm this time, I won't rush forward. Anyway, as long as the country launches a counterattack against Qualcomm, The monopoly investigation will definitely give a result. I will communicate with Qualcomm first to maintain a healthy relationship in order to promote further cooperation in the future.”

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "No wonder you want to invite me to drink! You are trying to go against me!"

Lei Jun explained: "The industry meeting was so successful, and you, Boss Zhou, are here to lead it. Winning Qualcomm is a matter of one day sooner or later. One more person is not more, and one less me is not more. It is better to just open one I have a backup plan!"

"So this is the backup plan you mentioned!"

"Well, Xiaomi is the backup."

"Why does it feel a bit like trying to save the country through a curve?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and joked.

Lei Jun was startled and said quickly: "This is different. If Xiaomi is missing, your winning rate against Qualcomm will be greatly reduced, then I will definitely not go against you behind your back. This is not victory in sight, in the face of a fait accompli There is one more choice. The most important thing is that it can relieve your pressure and prevent Qualcomm from spending more energy on dealing with domestic conflicts. "

Zhou Buqi was joking with him and agreed with this strategy. The business market was always turbulent, and all the divisions of interests were sorted out through back and forth, so he said: "Well, I think it works. If the domestic mobile phone industry all forms an alliance to fight against Qualcomm, it will probably scare Qualcomm out of their wits. Compared with the anti-monopoly fine, the industrial alliance is a bigger taboo and a greater fear. It’s good to play devil’s advocate to reassure Qualcomm.”

Lei Jun said with a smile: "Yes, once Qualcomm feels at ease, they can use all their strength to go to war with Apple. If the domestic industry alliance scares Qualcomm into silence, they may delay the war and make peace with Apple first, and then Find a way to deal with domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and then you will be under the greatest pressure.”

Zhou Buqi was really unwilling to stand up and confront Qualcomm. Xiaomi jumped out to ease the relationship, which was a good choice. "Okay, Xiaomi is the messenger."

Lei Jun said with a smile: "Yes, messenger, you, the messenger who connects the industry alliance with Qualcomm, will not intensify the conflicts between the two parties. There will be countless internal conflicts in any company. According to your plan, the main contradictions of Qualcomm should be brought out It’s up to Apple. If Xiaomi doesn’t show up, it’s not very safe.”

"Then let's do it!"

Zhou Buqi is a core shareholder of Asda and also a core shareholder of Xiaomi.

After this wave of operations, we really have the cake and eat it too.

At this time, two glamorous and elegant girls, each carrying a glass of red wine, walked over quietly, then bent their waists and squatted down beside the booth.

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled and turned to look.

Quite beautiful!

Ho!

It turns out to be a star!

He could still recognize one of them. Isn't this Chen Yanxi, who plays the little dragon girl in the new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which has been very controversial in the domestic entertainment industry recently? The girl next to her also seems to have come to the mainland from Treasure Island. Developing actress.

Chen Yanxi was wearing black trousers and white short-sleeves. She looked delicate and beautiful. The two dimples at the corners of her mouth were very charming. She whispered: "Mr. Zhou, can we take the liberty of offering you a glass of wine?"
