Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 293 Negotiation Again

The happy life with Liu Yifei is only a few nights, occasionally watching them filming on the set, Qu Li is basically a spectator.

Honor G3 has been on sale for a week, and it has sold nearly 1 million units worldwide. It is also a hot-selling product. Unfortunately, there are many comparison videos about IOS and Android in the market, and some defects are difficult to cover up.

Many media reporters commented that although Honor has excellent industrial design capabilities, Google Android is really holding them back, even Windows Mobile is better than Android.

"An open source operating system is more in line with the long-term interests of consumers. We will seek the greatest balance between security, performance and user experience, rather than leaving consumers with no choice in a closed system..." Qu Li explained

Then a well-known technology blogger commented: Honor is more American, I don’t care about anything, you can play whatever you want; iPhone is more popular, I want to maintain the healthy development of the ecosystem...

I don't know who made him say that, but two very similar companies have made different choices.

When Qu Li was interviewed by the media in the United States, he always expressed his love for Qiaobosi, imitating his words: "What I am best at is to discover a group of geniuses, and then create things with them." "To live is to change the world. Is there any other reason?" "Technology alone is not enough, there must be more thinking about humanities and art"

This kind of discussion caused a well-known technology reporter to comment: "The same way of thinking, but there are completely different choices. Qiaobosi, who grew up in the open world, chose to keep his mobile phone closed; Quli, who grew up in the society, chose..."

"Qu Li is more influenced by Chinese female culture or American culture?"

Someone from Quora, which was established not long ago, initiated this question, and then it appeared in Qu Li's mailbox, asking him to answer it.

"I really don't know. Limited by my English level, most of the books I read are Chinese books. Because of my professional choice, I am more familiar with the traditional Chinese culture and have been greatly influenced by an ancient Chinese philosopher. He said that Women's intellectuals should do:

To ordain conscience for Heaven and Earth

To secure life and fortune for the people

To continue lost teachings for past sages

To establish peace for all future generations..." (Does anyone know what these four sentences mean?)

"I have a similar idea, not only that, but during the critical period of my growth, I was influenced by many Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, especially Qiaobosi, Larry Page, Musk, etc., including Ma Yun, Wang Chuanfu, etc. Wait, they are all very good entrepreneurs..."

"I think the differences between Eastern and Western cultures are just appearances, and they all lead to the same goal in the end. Human yearning for a better life is our common pursuit."

Qu Li's answer is not bad. Although it is a bit off topic, it can resolve some netizens' misunderstandings about Zhongying to a certain extent.

With different positioning, Honor is rushing into the global smart phone market with the influence of Google Android and Apple iPhone, which has brought huge pressure on Nokia and Blackberry. The high-end mobile phone market has been tilted towards iPhone and Honor. All kinds of comments came out, many of them harbored malicious hatred towards Zhong Heo.

Glory has established a sales company in the United States, and the public relations department will monitor these negative comments in the media. It is not to prevent the emergence of negative news, but to control it within a certain range.

Qu Li left Hollywood and returned to Glory in Silicon Valley. The design of the Glory Silicon Valley store was completed. He is a well-known local designer in Silicon Valley. He looked at the design drawings and was quite satisfied. It was high-end and elegant.

Flagship experience stores in first-tier cities are individually designed. In the future, well-known local designers will be hired. If the level is too low, they will be found from the surrounding areas. Most other self-operated Honor Stores and authorized stores need to maintain a unified professional style, using a large number of glass facades to create a borderless visual impact. It seems that Apple has not established this decoration style at this time, right?

Originally, I wanted to personally participate in the construction of the store, but after many discussions, Google decided to acquire Shopee, or exchange Shopee with Google.

While Google's domain is out, the "Google" "guge" is here to stay, along with gmail, maps, music, and more.

But, but here comes, Google does not rule out the possibility of entering the Chinese market again. As for Google Play, it adopts an authorized operation model...

A normal person's understanding is that Google will withdraw from the Chinese women's market, but it will not withdraw completely, leaving a tail and waiting for changes in domestic policies.

Qu Li felt that he could accept it, but what about the price? Authorization method? What about Google's search technology? That's the key.

"Google America temporarily provides search results for Google Zhongwomen, and Google Zhongwomen are responsible for content review..."

After hearing this, Qu Li just wanted to scold his mother for selling criticism, feeling that Google was wasting their time, but he didn't expect it to be insincere.

"Google doesn't want to give you money..." Schmidt said quickly, if it wasn't for the complete acquisition of Shopee, he didn't want to do it himself. You must know that Google's market value is nearly 200 billion US dollars, and its net profit in one year can be enough. The acquisition of Jumei is completely unequal.

"I don't want to give it to me, Jumei doesn't want spicy chicken..." Qu Li stood up and said, Lu Qi gently pulled the corner of Qu Li's clothes from behind.

Oh, I forgot that Lu Qi resigned from Yahoo because he knows search.

"Hmph!" Qu Li snorted and sat down, turned around, and handed the stage to Lu Qi.

Google will basically give up its domestic business, basically leaving only a shell of Google for Jumei, and employees who agree to the conditions can freely choose to stay or work in the United States.

In fact, Google's so-called not keeping technology is just their negotiation strategy. Google's search technology is based on the three technologies they announced: GFS, BigTable, and MapReduce, but in 2010 it will be migrated to the new three-horse carriage Caffeine, Pregel, and Dreme. The search technology used by Baidu, Yahoo, Amazon, Facebook, and Jumei is based on Hadoop, an open source project led by Yahoo.

It is understandable that Google does not want to disclose its own technology. Of course, the possibility of providing search technology support exists, just like Yahoo search uses Microsoft's bing technology. But Qu Li doesn't want this model, he wants Jumei to achieve technological progress.

"Google can take a stake first and become Shopee's major shareholder..." Lu Qi saw that Google's decision to leave the woman was decided, so he didn't want to pay too much chips, anyway, the value is not big.

"No, we want to buy..."

"Google doesn't understand e-commerce. It's not a bad thing to learn first. If there is a better choice than Shopee, the loss will be smaller."

"Google can afford this loss..."

"But we can't afford it. Shopee is in a stage of rapid development. We are confident that it will be one-fifth the size of Amazon, but you can't give such a high price."

Amazon's market value is about 40 billion US dollars, one-fifth is 8 billion, and Jumei's market value is less than 6 billion US dollars. No matter how rich and powerful Google is, it is impossible to acquire subsidiaries at a price higher than the parent company's market value.

When Lu Qi said this, Google surprisingly did not refute it. Amazon’s revenue in the first three quarters of fiscal 2009 was about 15 billion US dollars, while Shopee’s fiscal year was only 1.5 billion US dollars. As long as Sihu has money, Shopee can catch up with Amazon very quickly… …

The Shopee model imitates Costco and Aldi. Ten years later, there will be no successful precedents in the global Internet e-commerce industry. Qu Li really does not have much confidence.

After all, Google has never done e-commerce, and Brady will definitely boast of his ability, so it is normal for Schmidt to be blindly optimistic about Shopee.
