Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qu Li and Lu Qi got acquainted with each other in Jumei, and started to plan the "China Smart Logistics Backbone Network". This kind of big plan must have a partner. ProLogis' professional ability is trustworthy, so should we win over SF Express and Sitong Yida? Woolen cloth?

Of course, the first thing Jumei needs to do is not to build a Jumei version of "Cainiao Network", but to acquire Shopify, a company that raised a round of financing in December last year, with about US$7 million and annual sales of the platform of 100 million. Around US dollars, the premium acquisition should not cost 100 million US dollars.

As for whether it can be acquired, there is no way to verify it. Let’s just assume that the protagonist is talented and supernatural. In fact, Jumei can do this project by itself. Shopify’s technology is not advanced, and their business model has not yet been verified. There is a possibility of being acquired. The reason why Jumei does not do it by itself is probably because of different cultural backgrounds, in order to succeed.

In addition to Shopify, there is Time Group, Qu Li is directly responsible for the entrepreneurial business, Huang Zheng is responsible for the accelerated growth of WeChat users, and is competing with WhatsApp users around the world. The domestic goose factory finally pays attention to this project. Zhang Xiaolong of Yangcheng is responsible for the development, because WeChat The brand was registered by Shishi, so they named it Tencent.

Although Qu Li attaches great importance to it, he is not afraid at all. He has already opened up WeChat. The domestic version of Honor G4S has WeChat pre-installed, and the overseas version has pre-installed WeChat. At the same time, recommend old users to download experience in KOS Store.

There was no pre-installation in the past because the product was immature and Honor had strict requirements. Now Huang Zheng has met the requirements and is facing the challenge of WeChat.

Of course, the crux of the problem is not here. WeChat has far more foreign users than domestic users, and Huang Zheng's team has a bottleneck in its operational capabilities, requiring more investment and authorization.

Although Qu Li is the big boss of the company, everyone knows that he can't "settle accounts" and never considers the cost of what he wants to do. Therefore, the financial power is limited and he needs to apply.

Because of the existence of Goose Factory, the strategic role of WeChat is unquestionable. Qu Li and Lu Qi did not want to give up this rare opportunity and decided to spend money on promotion. The most simple and direct way is to pre-install, as long as the user has it in his mobile phone, there is a high probability that he will register and use it.

The current pre-installation fee is not high. The price of a mobile phone varies depending on the grade, ranging from a few cents to a few dollars. In order to extinguish Tencent’s ambitions in one go, Qu Li, who has a lot of money, decided to spend 5,000 soft sister coins in China. At least 30 million phones are planned to be pre-installed. The pre-installed price of the Honor mobile phone is calculated separately.

The budget belongs to the budget. Qu Li always spends money overspending. Kejumei's focus is on e-commerce retail, which is cloud computing, not instant messaging. The resources given by Lu Qi are limited.

"We can't raise money now. Mobile Internet applications don't see value right now, so let's forget about failure. If we succeed, we'll lose money no matter what." Qu Li

"You also said that there is a possibility of failure, and the risk of time is very high."

"You mean time to find money by yourself?"

"Since it is an independent accounting, it is not closely related to our business, and we need a lot of money, it is best to find a venture capital." Lu Qi

What did Qu Li want to say? One-third of the credit for Pinxixi's early success can be credited to WeChat. You said that the business relationship is not high? Having said that, Qu Li's confidence in Huang Zheng is not great. The Goose Factory team has no integrity but strong ability. Zhang Xiaolong is a master of Internet products.

"How about we slow down the construction of an open logistics platform and build a smart logistics backbone network in a few years?" Lu Qi asked Qu Li to make a choice

"I don't know if you have noticed. Ali is controlled by foreign capital. Taobao is developing very fast. Alipay is the largest third-party payment in the country. It involves financial payment. What if it is controlled by foreign capital?"

"You want the outside world to pay attention to this news?" Lu Qi reacted

"..." How bad do you think of me? Teacher Ma is my "benefactor".

"Will the country issue a payment license to Ari? How will Ari gain domestic trust?"

"Take control of Alipay in your own hands."

"Do you think they have reasonable and legal means to achieve their goals?"

Lu Qi called the person in charge of the company's legal department over, he didn't understand the law.

"Impossible, there is no such way in theory."

"That is to say, Ahri, Softbank, and Yahoo will inevitably have differences and conflicts?"

"No matter what the contradiction is? Their attention will definitely be distracted this year. There is a high probability that what we want to do will not be attacked by Taobao." Dilemma.

Lu Qi knew Qu Li's choice. He would rather give up the development of e-commerce scale and develop logistics. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this strategic advantage, and the development of Jumeijuhuasuan can be slowed down. Time can definitely be given up , then find venture capital.

Ever since, a series of things were suppressed, and Qu Li's affairs became more and more, so he didn't go to Beijin to attend the launch event of Honor G4 Plus.

Self-developed chip dual-core Qinglong No.1, power management chip (Su Zifen has studied this before, has accumulated technology), KOS based on AOSP, and voice assistant Klun, the start word is Hi klun!

This phone is the masterpiece of Honor. Although Klun is not excellent, it is very interesting. Taken together, this phone is extremely good.

Liu Yifei endorsed this mobile phone and appeared at the press conference, adding a lot of color.

The press conference was held on March 25, and the official listing was on the second day. As a result, there were long queues at Honor’s self-operated stores around the world, waiting for the doors to open at 9 am the next morning, and some people were waiting online for Jumei to start at 12 noon. of panic buying.

Those who didn’t know thought it was a discount promotion, but the Honor G4 pro that just went on sale didn’t matter if there was no price increase. If you want a discount, just dream.

The reason why there is a queue to buy is related to Honor’s hunger marketing. Because of global sales, the sales volume is difficult to grasp, and Honor’s stock is not much, especially in China, which is often sold out.

Domestic netizens hate Qu Li for a reason. Whether it is buying his car or buying his mobile phone, they have to rush to buy him. People often give him nicknames, and "Qu Shuhou" is one of them.

Qu Li tried to explain: "Hunger marketing can only be used occasionally, and it is definitely not a regular sales method. The lack of supply of Glory is related to the upstream and downstream supply chain and our strict quality requirements..."

How many people have read and listened to the letter, Qu Li naturally doesn't know, glory is the trouble of happiness, and someone added a reason to him: "The price of glory in China is the lowest in the world, and it needs to be compatible with three With the Internet system and higher domestic taxes, Honor earns the least amount of money in the country by selling a mobile phone, who will be active if they can’t make money..."

"This kid's shoe misunderstood. Glory's goal is to make domestic revenue account for more than 30% within three to five years. Satisfying domestic consumers is our very important task..."

It doesn't matter whether it's hunger marketing or not, Honor G4 Plus has received rave reviews at home and abroad!
