Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 226 Investing in the United States

Under the arrangement of Qu Li, two Chinese ministers, Musk and Zhu Luo, met and chatted about the importance of new energy vehicles to the United States. The two asked Musk's views on Honor by the way.

"Honor is a brand marketing company. The chip is from Qualcomm, the operating system is from Google, the screen is from Samsung, and the mobile phone is from BYD..."

"Don't look at his current sales, but the intensified market competition will make the smartphone industry repeat the competition pattern of the era of Microsoft and Intel..."

This is a very good guy, um, Honor is not good, he really only does marketing, such as winning the Super Bowl commercial: Taylor Swift sang "Stepping on the Stars" to accept the award, was attacked by terror, and Honor G2 summoned Iron Man...

It can only be said that it is full of pride, but this is one of the few opportunities for Honor to surpass the IPhone. If you can’t work hard now, you can only be beaten by Apple in the future. Android will not catch up with IOS until around 2015. How will the next 6 years be?

In the midst of prosperity, Qu Li uttered a sad song for a flourishing age, but he had no choice but to increase his marketing efforts and expand his brand influence. Is it possible that changing a Reborn can make Android's fluency and security surpass that of IOS in a short period of time? Impossible, any technological progress must be logical, Yu Dazui always brags about "far ahead", it will almost certainly cause consumers to backlash, Ren Zhengfei criticized him...

Android is not as good as IOS, not because Google is worse than Apple, but because of genetics. IOS only serves Apple's iPhone, and there are only a few mobile phones. The difficulty of system optimization is not as good as that of rough grain phones. Android open source also serves dozens or hundreds of mobile phone terminal companies, paying the most attention to compatibility, and will definitely sacrifice other capabilities, such as system fluency.

Looking at Qu Li's sadness, the little sister was flattering, needless to say, the fun was very enjoyable.

Finally, it was Facebook and Zuckerberg's turn. Qu Li couldn't appreciate Zucker's taste, and wondered if he made the choice to learn from Zhuge Liang. Someone took Liu Yifei to visit FB, and they talked about business.

This round of financing has ensured that the contract between Jumei and FB can be executed smoothly. Find vistas one at a time.

It is said that no company is willing to give FB a valuation of more than US$7.5 billion this time, and Envision will raise funds at a valuation of US$10 billion. Maybe some internal employees will sue Envision because of this. If you don't know how to take advantage of this kind of advantage, you will be looked down upon if you become a wolf and don't eat meat. Anyway, as long as your reputation is not damaged.

The establishment of an e-commerce platform by FB has not been discussed. This may be a bargaining chip used by Zach, but it was not used in the end. He wants to do e-commerce, and Qu Li is really not afraid. Ahri is so strong, but he still can’t do well in games, videos and music. Google invested heavily in social networking, but was still beaten by FB. It can be seen that money and traffic are not everything.

Qu Li and Zuckerberg were chatting, oh, discussing the experience of corporate management. No one can ignore Honor this year. It is said that Qiaobusi is preparing to sue Honor for infringement. Don’t ask which patents Apple has infringed. Is it important? A smartphone involves tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of patents. If they want to find faults, they can always find them.

Jumei’s stock price has plummeted, but this year’s sales have increased by 13 times year-on-year, which is also blinding. Losses are nothing, and it doesn’t matter at all. If Jumei was a US company, it would have been blown to the sky.

As for Zuckerberg, he hired a deputy from Google, that is, later the famous Sheryl Sandberg, who was still the second in command of FB until 22 years, and made important contributions to the growth of this company.

"If you find a man to be the CEO of Jumei, aren't you afraid that you will lose control?" Xiao Zha didn't put on an air in front of Qu Li. He was very clever in dealing with the co-founders. If FB failed, Xiao Zha might be a clown. But he succeeded, and he would be worshiped as an entrepreneurial icon for a long time.

"Of course I'm afraid. Doing e-commerce is very hard work. It requires not only strong beliefs, but also good physical strength and the ability to deal with complex problems. I can't do it myself, so I want to find someone. Fortunately, I hold There are enough shares..." Jack Ma thinks that the controlling stake is meaningless, and it is obviously just an idealistic temperament. It is not a good thing for foreign investors to control the largest e-commerce company in China and enjoy the biggest dividends.

Qu Li and Zuckerberg are not good people in the traditional sense, and Xiao Zha at this time is not a bad person at all, but if you want to say that the later FB did not do evil, someone should be blind.

Yuanjing’s investment in Facebook went well. Adding in the US$50 million in 2007, it paid a little more than US$250 million in cash to get a 3% stake in FB. Before the company goes public, it will arrange a board seat to promote the development of Kaixin.com and FB. cooperate.

During this period, I met with Jesse, the new CEO of Spansion Semiconductor, and discussed the company's future development. Spansion and Envision, which are on the verge of bankruptcy, are actively applying. AMD and Fujitsu are also working hard, and they don't want to lose their investment. Great, good progress.

Many people are interested in building pure electric vehicles. Li Yinan flew to Silicon Valley and together with Qu Li, he selected Zhang Qinan as the person in charge of Glory Automobile, and formally formed a car construction team.

Li Yinan and the others began to recruit people. Freescale CEO Rich Beyer officially proposed to sell the mobile phone baseband business at the general meeting of shareholders. Apart from their huge technology accumulation, after the contract with Motorola expired, they had no business to support their subsequent development. Texas Instruments also decided to give up the mobile phone baseband chip business, and contacted Spreadtrum, and its sincerity was much greater than last year.

It stands to reason that Spreadtrum is not their only choice, but it is a pity that European, American and Japanese companies such as Infineon cannot protect themselves. Samsung and MediaTek do not need it, so they can only find it from China. State-owned enterprises, isn't this artificially increasing the difficulty of transactions? After all, they will be worse.

Yuanjing invested 200 million US dollars in Facebook. Of course, it has to make a statement to let everyone know that Xiao Zha is rich again, and FB will not go bankrupt. Please feel free to register and use it boldly. With the popularity of FB in the world, the Vision Fund is once again known to the whole world.

Soon some financial media interviewed the person in charge of Envision in Silicon Valley, who was a former employee of Lehman. Many of Envision’s employees in Silicon Valley came from Lehman and switched from investment banking to private equity.

"Whether this is a resurgence of Lehman or an American private equity fund backed by Eastern Capital, we don't know."

"The only thing that's certain is that Facebook got really lucky..."

At the same time, news spread that Yuanjing was an important investor in Twitter, and it became famous for a while, and many companies that were short of money and poor local tyrants with only money left came to him.

Spreadtrum Communications, which is controlled by Envision, has finally made a substantial breakthrough in the acquisition of baseband business with Phase One Semiconductor.
