Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

After returning from Japan, he explained that Qiancheng Motors and Mitsubishi started negotiations, and then he went to Switzerland. Winter Davos was about to begin. For several years in a row, Glory and Jumei were invited, including Qu Li, as a new "transnational giant". For enterprises, Davos is a really good stage, gathering with dignitaries, business giants and media from various countries.

Of course, it is not free for companies to participate in the conference, and the cost is not cheap, not only the tickets, the annual meeting, but also the hotel accommodation, which costs millions of dollars at a time. Ma Yun has participated repeatedly in the past few years. The one who came down, did he sleep on the side of the road?

But for Glory, knowledge is a small amount of money. Qu Li came here for the first time, without a goal, just to broaden his horizons and get to know the political leaders and entrepreneurs in Europe. Lei Jun and Lu Qi didn't come. It's not that they don't pay attention to this meeting, but this year's topic has little to do with Internet technology companies.

Qu Li was widely reported by the media because of his "prediction" of the Greek debt crisis. Sun Jianhe from Envision Investment came to the meeting, and Zhang Yiwen was also with him. You know...

The domestic imperial court arranged for people to come, and everyone bragged and chatted together. Although it was not very useful, it could play a role in publicity, so that the world would not lack the voices of Chinese women.

Qu Li didn't participate in many activities, but a big guy he knew during the 2008 earthquake took him to chat and understand the situation, so he missed a lot of time in the two-person world.

Although Avatar was the hot spot in January, it was entertainment news that the general public cared about. In fact, Qu Li's New Year's Eve speech aroused considerable repercussions in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. "The Three-Body Problem" became popular overnight, and it was hard to find a book. The publishing house urgently reprinted it. Liu registered a Weibo account to respond to Qu Li's reminder to update it. Unfortunately, there is no real-name system, and not many people follow it. I don't know if it will happen. Sign up trumpets tout their books.

As for the film and television adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth", Qu Li is not very concerned. After accepting this good fate, Liu, who is not short of money, should not sell the rights hastily. Why don't you remind him?

The sales of physical books of "Three-Body Problem" are booming, and many jokes Qu Li said have been widely disseminated on the Internet. For example, he found 2+2 equals 22 from YouTube.

Flying through the maze of life, reducing dimensionality and attacking, never forgetting the original intention, and always being able to do so, all kinds of rumors are known even to the big bosses of the imperial court. The English phrases of I love three things are spread from Zhongguo to Facebook and Twitter, and even he There are many videos of Chinese speeches played indirectly on YouTube.

At this time, almost no one in China doubts Qu Li's talent, and the media in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan no longer say that he is just a lucky upstart, but an entrepreneur who keeps learning and has his own business philosophy. I believe that his theory of "initial heart" will gradually be accepted by the world with the growth of Glory and Jumei.

This is not bragging, the big boss of the imperial court who chatted with him said several times that he would not forget his original intention, and Fang Dezhong asked Qu Li what a dimensionality reduction strike was.

"The dimensionality reduction strike can also be said to be a dimensionality enhancement strike. For example, I mentioned Nokia many times because the design ability and experience of this company are better than Honor. I mentioned Nokia many times, but I actually hope that both Nokia and Samsung will go to develop it. own operating system, this will take more detours and give Glory two or three more years..."

"I still don't understand, why is it a detour to develop an operating system?"

"Developing an operating system is very simple, but it is very difficult to promote it. The application ecology is very important, as well as the difficulty of adaptation, user experience, and the most important thing is the market. Google's popularity in the world is very high..." Qu Li explained So, at this time, Google didn’t have many black spots. It had the best corporate culture in the world and was respected by users all over the world. High-end brands worldwide.

Nokia has a strong foundation and has accumulated a lot of communication patents, which is true, but there is no operating system, no mobile phone chips, and no LCD panels.

Of course, self-research is possible. As long as the smartphone market develops a little slower, Nokia still has a chance. Unfortunately, telecom operators around the world began to invest in 3G around 2000, and lost money for so many years. Now is the chance, you let them wait for Nokia, is it possible?

The brand positioning of Honor as the best Android mobile phone has been successfully established. Even if Nokia joins the Android camp, it will at most keep pace with Honor mobile phones. Three years may be delayed, and the advantages of Honor mobile phones will be even more difficult to shake.

"Aren't you guys going to develop an operating system?" The leader felt that Qu Li was talking nonsense, knowing that Zhang Yaqin, who taught Zhongnan Hei, jumped to Glory

"It's different. Honor and Google Android are allies. We will jointly promote Android. Only by defeating Nokia will there be enough room for Honor and domestic mobile phone brands in this market. Only by continuing to make profits can we continue to invest in chips and systems... ..."

Qu Li must have thought about developing a domestic mobile phone operating system now, but there is a practical problem. If he really wants to do this, Honor mobile phones need to re-establish trust overseas.

You can understand it with random examples. Wechat cannot use end-to-end encryption, TVs cannot freely install APPs, a certain cloud OS remotely deletes APPs, and Optoelectronics has a policy that prohibits screen projection. If you want to implement these functions, will it involve user privacy? information?

Ten years later, Douyin, the most successful domestic Internet company going overseas, does not communicate with domestic and foreign data. Is it because they don't want to or can't? Domestic search, information, short video, and novel platforms all require a lot of manual review, and open overseas data. Due to language and cultural issues, the difficulty of review increases, how much will the review cost increase?

Can overseas consumers know about these issues involving user privacy? Will there be any worries? Will there be any associations? When the market has choices and the Honor brand has insufficient influence, if you really want to force it, failure is almost inevitable.

The boss nodded after hearing this. Qu Li has ideals, but is very pragmatic. Unfortunately, he cannot meet domestic expectations. He then asked Qu Li to learn about the development of Shopee.

Shopee has never been short of traffic, but its development has been limited by lack of money. This time, Google has invested 500 million US dollars in shares, and there is no shortage of money in the short term.

"Increasing investment in hardware, we will recruit globally. The number of Shopee employees will double. After improving the information security and network carrying capacity of the website, it will be open to third-party sellers at home and abroad to increase the selection of products on the platform. We used to pursue profits. , and now scale is the priority..." Qu Li is not worried about the development of Shopee in Europe, just like Pinxixi, low price is the core competitiveness of Shopee, even if Amazon develops global shopping, it is impossible to do better than Jumei in the short term Even better, this is king.

"The cash flow of an enterprise is very important. You can contact the relevant departments in advance for funding issues. The CDB has low-interest loans, which are no higher than financing in the US bond market." The boss obviously knows Jumei's long-term US bond issuance financing plan

Although Qu Li didn't care about these things, he didn't refuse. It's hard to say whether there will be a funding gap for Jumei to make efforts both at home and abroad this year.
