Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 224 Trip to America

One day after a long time, Qu Li asked Tianxian: "Why did you call me that night?"

"I saw you on stage that night in a state of exuberance and naturalness, and for some reason I fell in love with you."

See, it is good to pretend to be bragging, otherwise how can you deceive Xiao Guliang.

Liu Yifei has a straightforward personality, and urged Qu Li to leave the next day, but how could Qu Li be willing to do so at this time, what's the point of being a beautiful woman without a beautiful woman? In the end, the girl agreed to accompany him to the United States for a "vacation".

Qu Li, who stayed in China on New Year's Day, embraced the beauty to watch his New Year's speech spread on the Internet. Penguin and Wangyi published the news on the front page. Four hours of video, with a huge amount of information, many people can find what they want.

Perhaps the biggest impact is that Qu Li set up FLag, aiming to achieve 100 billion annual sales within 5 years and become the largest retail enterprise in China. Then he announced his resignation as CEO of Jumei, leaving the pressure on Lu Qi, the former executive vice president of Yahoo. Glory's declaration of building a car is also eye-catching, but the most popular is his magical "hahaha!"

"Didn't expect it, I passed the exam, hahaha!"

"I didn't expect that, I lost my money, hahaha!"

"Didn't expect that, I got 100 points in the test, hahaha!"

I don't know who is leading the rhythm, Qu Li's emoji package quickly became popular, even if he arrived in the United States, "Hahaha!" spread more and more widely, making people who don't know him baffled.

Ordinary people are busy laughing at Qu Li, while interested people are really studying his speech. If the concept of "asymmetric risk" can be widely recognized, "risk sharing" will be accepted as a matter of course, but how can the superiors give it to themselves? Add shackles. So, it's not that the world doesn't have solutions to complex problems, the key lies in decision makers.

Qu Li does not want to change the world, but "asymmetric risk" and the "risk sharing" formed under this idea can change Jumei and Glory, and can better deal with the uncertain world.

When I came to Silicon Valley, I visited Glory and Shopee as usual, Qu Li’s New Year’s Eve speech, and the change of CEO did not make Jumei’s stock rise. Instead, it followed the previous trend and continued to fall, and it was about to fall below $8.

Companies are growing, stock prices are falling, and things that go against common sense often occur during bear markets. In fact, this is in favor of him taking the opportunity to acquire shares to enhance his control. However, when the equity incentive plan set before the listing is fully fulfilled, the stock under his name will increase to 80 million shares, the debt equity will have 20 million shares, and the total share capital will be about 210 million shares. Qu Li's actual shareholding ratio in Jumei will eventually increase to 47.6%, which is a super high shareholding ratio. Therefore, the purchase of Jumei stock was given to the fund under Yuanjing Xiangcai.

Brady welcomes Lu Qi's succession. A CEO who is familiar with the US market can save him a lot of trouble.

When Qu Li came to the United States, he was not in a hurry to sign a contract with Zuckerberg to buy shares. He also wanted to buy old shares from employees of FB who wanted to transfer their shares. $3 billion.

Qu Li will definitely not come forward in person for these matters. Troublesome matters are generally left to Yuanjing. It is said that after the collapse of Lehman, a large number of employees flowed into the talent market. The investment banking department where Andrew worked was not bankrupt, but there were still a large number of talents who transferred to Yuanjing and Xiangjiang Investment.

This time to invest in Spansion Semiconductor in the United States, money is not a problem, the key is whether the United States Foreign Investment Review Board will approve it. Although there are risks, both sides are confident. There are many reasons. The most important thing is that the financial crisis in the United States is at the bottom. China's huge foreign exchange reserves are the liquidity that the US financial market needs most. China's strong manufacturing capacity is to maintain residents A favorable guarantee that the standard of living will not be reduced.

To put it simply, at this stage, the United States has what it wants from China, and some non-core projects can make compromises. Spansion Semiconductor’s NOR and NAND flash memory chips are important, but they are definitely not as important as DRAM memory chips, let alone general-purpose CPUs. .

"Without a vision, we will go bankrupt and thousands of people will lose their jobs..." The Spansion board must arrange someone to lobby, but what about the vision?

Aoguanhai’s launch seems to be supported by Silicon Valley, not to mention Google, FB, and Twitter. These two companies have a close relationship with Quli. Envision and Shopee also invested in Aoguanhai in advance. Qu Li went to the United States, and Sun Jianhe, Andrew and others visited some important congressmen in key positions, and then did some charity, attracted some investment, and helped them make money.

Glory is also taking action, using third-party companies to quietly acquire 3G and 4G communication patents from Nortel and Interdigital. The development of Honor has not been smooth sailing. InterDigital, a patent rogue company, initiated a lawsuit against Honor. However, Qu Li has always been concerned about this matter, and he must actively respond to the lawsuit and delay the matter.

Not only communication patents, but also file management, video decoding, wireless transmission, etc. For this reason, Honor's investment in patents and legal affairs is almost no less than that of Apple, far exceeding the domestic practice.

With experience and the cooperation of a professional team, Envision handled the matter of Spansion Semiconductor very well and did not make this matter a hot news. The benefits are obvious, without enthusiasm, those congressmen who want to perform will have no motivation.

Qu Li was naturally happy that things were progressing smoothly. What made him even more happy was that not only did he have an idea, but the founder of Legendary Pictures, Thomas Tull, was also looking for a change.

It turned out that although Qu Li wanted to reach a superhero movie investment agreement with Marvel, it was difficult to protect his own interests by only investing and not participating in the project.

For example, a Hong Kong team purchased "straw hats" for the filming of "Martial Arts". After the director finished filming and paid off his debts, he bought a house in Beijin.

Hollywood and Wall Street capital don't even discuss it, and Heroine Capital in the pit will naturally not be relentless, so the Vision Fund and Marvel have almost negotiated, but they have not signed a contract. Qu Li didn't have any good ideas at first, but after eating the fairy sister on New Year's Day, he naturally wanted to give. He thought of Legendary Pictures, a film and television investment company that switched from private equity.

It is the legendary film industry acquired by Wanda, which produced the "Batman" trilogy, and reached a seven-year cooperation agreement with Warner. In the next seven years, the two parties will jointly fund and produce 40 film and television works. And unlike ordinary Wall Street capital, Legendary Pictures has the right to choose.

It can be said that this is a mature film investment company. It is certain that it is short of money now. There are no companies in Wall Street and Hollywood that are not short of money, and Silicon Valley Internet companies are local tyrants.

"I want to transform Legendary Films into an independent film production company..." The two chatted happily, and Thomas Tull stated his purpose.

"no problem!"
