Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

It is very difficult to invite top talents. Qu Li's conditions for Su Zifeng are absolutely top-notch. Apart from Glory, no other company has such great sincerity.

Qu Li, Lei Jun, Li Yinan, the top executives of Glory stepped forward one after another, persuading Su Zifeng to join, and the negotiations with Google came to an end. Glory's persistence made Google executives choose to make concessions. The two heroes have a personal friendship, and there is no need to make a fuss for Larry Page to intervene.

Qu Li didn't ask about the specific terms. Earning more and earning less is not that important. The joining of a top talent can increase the upper limit of a company, just like Liang Mengsong. Without him joining Samsung Semiconductor and Center International may be scum.

Lei Jun has a lot of things to do, and he has to go to Qualcomm, T-mobile and other companies to investigate. Qu Li grinds on Su Zifeng from time to time and answers her many doubts.

The filming of "Inception" in charge of Legendary Pictures has not yet started. Although Liu Yifei needs to exercise, she often comes to accompany him, and the little life is very nourishing. Under the combination of work and rest, living in Silicon Valley is not lonely.

He was very happy. Lu Qi on Jumei was busy with promotional activities and the listing of Xiangyun, so he could only go to Shopee to report that Brady had already planned to set up a "Benelux" station. Because of the economic integration of the three countries, entering one country can travel freely in the three countries.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Our logistics company can't keep up." Jumei Logistics' overseas model is a warehousing and transfer center, an operation and distribution center, and cooperation with third-party express companies, such as the US Post and other third-party express with cheap express fees. The company is responsible for delivery.

"How can we not be in a hurry? Facebook is developing too fast. After our cooperation expires, even if we renew the contract, we will have to pay a higher price. Now occupy the market first..."

"Not enough money?" After forming a tacit understanding with Amazon, Shopee is mainly self-operated. Whether it is its own brand or purchasing, it needs a lot of cash. The billing period for suppliers is getting longer and longer, which will hurt long-term interests.

"I think the company is ready for financing." Brady gave his own advice

"Financing?"

"The growth rate of the company's performance is very obvious, the stock price has returned to the IPO price, and the chance of the Fed's interest rate is zero. At this time, the financing cost is very low." Brady persuaded

"But our company's rating won't be high, right?" Of course Qu Li also wants to issue dollar bonds, but this requires a rating company to give a rating and determine the corporate bond interest rate based on the rating.

“Equity financing is also good.”

"I'd like to, but the current stock price obviously underestimates our value. Isn't Jumei even worth $5 billion?"

Compared with Amazon, their total business revenue in 2008 was only 19.1 billion U.S. dollars, and their current market value is about 36 billion U.S. dollars. The market value of Jumei is more than 3 billion US dollars, a difference of more than ten times.

"You can prepare now, the company's stock price is still rising..." Brady wants to win

"It's better to issue corporate bonds and see how high the interest rate is."

In the era of zero interest rates, the cost of issuing corporate bonds in the United States is much lower than that of ordinary women, but companies that can successfully issue bonds are generally industry leaders or well-known companies. Jumei's popularity should be okay, right? After all, Shopee is developing very well in the United States.

It's a pity that Yuanjing lacks the ability in this area and can only find outsiders.

It is too slow to generate blood through the enterprise itself. Amazon was established in 1995. It went public in 1997 to raise 54 million US dollars, with a loan of 75 million US dollars. Then it issued bonds twice in 1998 and 1999, totaling about 1 billion US dollars, with coupon rates of 10% and 6.875 respectively. %.

In order to develop, Amazon is willing to borrow more than 10% of the loan. Jumei is now issuing corporate bonds. Even if it is a junk bond, the interest rate should not exceed 5%, right?

Just when he was worrying about these things, the people from the fist company knew that he was in Silicon Valley and found him.

"The game has already started internal beta testing, but there are similar games on the market." Fist Games director Baker complained.

"Are you scared?"

"That's not true, but we need more money."

"Then look for investment." Qu Li looked at them strangely.

"Aren't you ready to invest?"

"Sorry, I'm really too busy, so I can only go the normal way and see how the Vision Investment will arrange it."

"Then are you still in charge of our distribution in the middle-aged market?"

"It depends on the situation, if your game is good enough." Qu Li only wanted to cheat Penguin at first, but now after being cut off by him, Penguin seems to be looking for cooperation with "DOTA2". He doesn't know that there is no Penguin traffic Blessing, "League of Legends" will be successful, so I have the idea of ​​​​stop loss.

"Of course, our game is very good." Shell said quickly

There is no righteousness in buying and selling, Qu Li did not directly refuse, which means there is hope, they chatted about games, Qu Li has rich experience, but it is a pity that he is too busy.

"In fact, the game engine can generate realistic images and ensure that the performance of objects in computer and video games is more in line with the laws of physics..." Shell said hi

"What did you say?" Qu Li's English level was not much better than that of Lei Jun, so he had more contact with him and changed his accent a lot.

"According to the current capabilities of the game engine, in the future, the static data such as real scenes in physical space and open roads can be mapped to the digital world in real time, and dynamic data such as pedestrians, other vehicles, weather, and lighting in real scenes can also be incorporated into it..."

"..." Qu Li was completely dumbfounded, this person is too good at fooling around, adding a game engine to the car, are you serious?

Leaving Riot Games, Qu Li was obsessed with what Shell said. When he asked Musk for advice, his big mouth started to spray, saying that this was a wild talk, and it was a bit of nonsense. On the contrary, there are many people in Google who think ahead and do not directly deny it, but just explain the difficulty.

It seems impossible now, but with the improvement of artificial intelligence, big data analysis, and computing power, it will eventually become a reality. Whether the game engine will be the future of autonomous driving, Qu Li is not sure, but he thinks it can try.

Before he could take any action, Su Zifeng, who had been pestered by him for a long time, finally nodded and agreed to leave Freescale, a weakened semiconductor company, to help Honor build a mobile phone chip design team in Silicon Valley.

"I believe you will not regret it." Qu Li assured her

"I hope so." Su Zifeng liked this opportunity, this challenge.

The chip team cooperates with Spreadtrum, and the initial products will integrate Spreadtrum's baseband chips and be sold through Spreadtrum.

It's not that Qu Li doesn't want to bring Spreadtrum Communications, it's that Northern Lights wants to be more secure. If that's the case, then so be it, Qu Li doesn't insist.

It was only then that Su Zifeng realized that Glory and Spreadtrum were closely related. He left Freescale and had to cooperate with former Freescale employees. The world was really too small.

Qu Li didn't care about these things, and asked Lei Jun to arrange people to assist Su Zifeng in Silicon Valley, asking for money and people for money, and at the same time set up a chip design branch in China to train the team.

You said short of money? It's okay, let's issue corporate bonds!
