Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

The more you communicate with people, the more you reveal yourself, and the easier it is for others to see clearly what kind of person you are. Qu Li is not a genius, he is somewhat superficial. Just like Jobs, Qu Li always admired this man's ideas and courage through news reports at the beginning, but he really watched his public speech at China Heroine Company, and there were answers. From now on, he can only say that he admires Le Shi's PPT copywriting at the Dashi level.

After communicating with Qu Li, many bigwigs in the American business circle thought that he was only mediocre, but Qu Li’s idea of ​​asymmetric risks and the impossible triangle of e-commerce retail had spread to the United States at this time, and many people knew it, so they couldn’t say anything. Don't have a mind of your own?

The meeting with Bezos is not as tense as the meeting with Cook. Neither of them has an engineering background, but both have a financial background. Both are engaged in Internet e-commerce, and they both have ideas. Bezos emphasized the flywheel effect at Amazon, while Qu Li summed up the three elements of product, price and service, which seems to be hard to distinguish.

Of course, it’s Qu Li’s personal opinion that no one is better than the other. Bezos is more recognized by the outside world. Amazon is the most successful company insisting on long-termism. Oh, it may not be counted now. The Amazon cloud service AWS industry has not yet been recognized by Wall Street.

Amazon started its cross-border e-commerce business this year, followed by Shopee, which took cross-border e-commerce as its core competitiveness and formally competed with Amazon with the support of Google Shopping. Pay attention to products and prices, and do not compete with Amazon in terms of logistics distribution and after-sales service experience. If the leverage does not win, then reduce the weight of the product and implement price priority.

The price war broken by the godfather of Pin Xixi gave Qu Li a lot of inspiration. What happened to different markets? Could it be that ghosts don’t like low prices? It’s impossible.

Joyo Amazon is unknown in the domestic market and has never participated in 6*18 and Double 11. But Qu Li, a junior high school student, dared to start internationalization shortly after the company was established, and it was successful. If Bezos said he didn’t care about the competitor Shopee It's bullshit.

The reason given by the outside world for Google's cooperation with Jumei instead of buying Shopee is quite reliable: Shopee's biggest advantage is that it has a supply chain from the world's factories. Google has the largest traffic in the world, and Shopee’s traffic from Facebook is nothing. The key is the supply chain. Jumei can select high-quality and cheap products from an infinite number of commodities to sell to the United States.

Jumei emphasized this in its financial report and letter to shareholders: Jumei is a supply chain-based technology and service company.

Xiangyun’s success has not only attracted domestic entrepreneurs to become e-commerce brands, but also attracted many European and American entrepreneurs, who have cooperated with Amazon, eBay and Shopee, including FB. It is said that Zuckerberg has repeatedly wanted to set up a FB store to support e-commerce brand.

Jumei is considered by the outside world to be the most advantageous enterprise, not only to do self-operation, but also to build a brand. This kind of innovative ability can only be possessed by entrepreneurs in the world's factories.

Obviously, if a model is successful, outsiders are always looking for reasons. Wall Street does not believe that middle school junior high school students are better than them. It must be cheating.

"I will increase my investment in the middle-aged market." Bezos said

Qu Li was very curious. Bezos clearly knew that the Chinese market was very important and that there was a problem with their management model in China, but he was unwilling to increase investment and fully authorize Amazon, so that Amazon gradually lost its voice in the domestic market.

It's a pity that it's hard to get an answer from Bezos to his curiosity. It's impossible for this guy to foresee the possible "war" between the two countries very early, so stop the loss in advance, right?

Qu Li doesn't care. Although the two companies are both Internet e-commerce companies, their internal driving logic is fundamentally different. Even if they reach the same goal in the end, the way the teams do things will be fundamentally different by then.

Whether products, prices and services are the three elements of e-commerce retailing, no one can give him an answer, only self-proving.

There are too many important people in Sun Valley, watching Qu Li talking with everyone without stage fright, Chen Danlin didn't embarrass him, she has always been generous, without stage fright. Even when meeting with Murdoch's Chinese wife, they were talking and laughing.

Murdoch is very curious about Qu Li, a young man of Chinese descent. News Corporation owns MySpace, and later invested in Hulu. It can be said that he is one of the few bigwigs in traditional enterprises who actively invest in the Internet. legend. But a businessman is a businessman. He used to kneel and lick the heroine, but when he couldn't get it, he turned his face and was ruthless. Zuckerberg learned the essence of Murdoch...

Although Qu Li will not forgive them, it is understandable that kneeling and licking paid for his dignity. As an industry leader, he must have paid money and time, and ended up losing money, just like the Indian drug ban on the Chinese heroine app.

Since they are not in the same way, business is business, Qu Li and Zuckerberg, Murdoch will not have too many personal friendships, even if Jumei needs Facebook very much, and Glory needs the help of the media group.

In Sun Valley, Qu Li and Microsoft's Ballmer met again, and this time they confirmed the basis for cooperation, including a unified kernel mobile operating system that can use two UIs, namely Microsoft's Metro tile style and iOS , the desktop used by Android.

Many people say that the Metro tile style is more advanced and better-looking, but Android IOS can effectively reduce the user's threshold for use and learning costs, just like WeChat voice, it is said that the lower the degree of education, the higher the frequency of use...

"Metro is very good, but Honor mobile phones cannot be sold only to highly educated elites..." Qu Li insisted that the UI of Honor mobile phones should maintain consistency and continuity.

I don’t know if it’s because of Nokia’s rejection of Microsoft. Qu Li’s few conditions and Ballmer agreed very readily. Of course, the premise is that Windows Phone needs to have a license fee. On this basis, Microsoft will return it to Honor through subsidies. Android patent license fee, and limit its upper limit.

The specific details need to be perfected by other people. Qu Li didn't like this Microsoft CEO with a blushing face and a thick neck. During his tenure, Microsoft really didn't develop, but fell into a dilemma until he was "refreshed" by Nadella.

But in order to cooperate, the two chatted a lot, such as basketball, such as the NBA.

It was just a chat, but Ballmer talked about his love for the NBA and wanted to buy the Lakers. Qu Li talked about his love for Kobe and wished him all the best.

Unexpectedly, the Sun Valley summit ended, and he soon had an intersection with the NBA. A venture capitalist named Joe Lacob wanted to acquire the Golden State Warriors. He originally co-funded the acquisition with Peter Guber, chairman of Mandalay Entertainment Group, but an accident happened, and Guber repented. The founder of Oracle also wanted to acquire the Warriors, and he was about to make an offer. Joe Lacob, who was short of funds, looked for someone everywhere, and finally contacted Sun Jianhe from Envision Investment, and then met Qu Li...

"Okay, I agree!" When Joe Lacob said his mouth was dry, he immediately revived on the spot when he heard Qu Li's words like the sounds of nature.
