Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Returning from Tianjing to Beijin, the matter of Glory came to an end for the time being, but Qu Li couldn’t be idle, the Alipay turmoil was resolved peacefully, Tudou went public, Qiu Bojun officially announced his retirement plan, and BAT successively announced plans to open platforms...

There are too many changes in the Internet industry. People like Qu Li who are almost relegated to the front line can hardly keep up with the changes. Gao Peng, who cooperated with Groupon and Penguin, began to lay off employees. Online group buying...

Kaixin.com has postponed its IPO, the income from overseas social games has decreased, and the domestic Happy Farm has been overtaken by Goose Factory, so it thought of using the traffic advantage to start group buying business. In fact, what Chen Binghao should do most is mobile first, but Qu Li has no interest in following Kaixin.com.

Jinshan is making adjustments according to his will. Although the market value of this company may be limited in the future, it is valuable. The WPS membership subscription model can be successful after all, not to mention corporate security and online game business, so Tianming Fund increased its holdings Jinshan.

Lei Jun, Qiu Bojun and other Zhongguancun veterans gathered for a party, and invited Qu Li, as well as Lao Liu and Yang Yuanqing who thought about it, they were friends before, um, Lei Jun was younger brother before.

Now Mr. Lei is in high spirits. Although he is thin and out of shape, he is in good spirits. Naturally, this gathering is not a peace talk, but a dinner to celebrate Qiu Bojun's retirement. You said that he hasn't officially retired yet, that's okay, it can also be understood as the glorious Mr. Lei showing off.

Qu Li and X wanted to "reconcile" a long time ago, and X wants to become a strategic partner with Jumei, and everyone has a good relationship. The Alipay incident did a lot of damage to Ma Yun’s reputation. Dadongzi was not strong at that time, and there were no domestic competitors. Now that there is Jumei, a pseudo-B2C platform, many "loyal" customers of Taobao have switched to Jumei. Juhuasuan has greatly enriched the choices of consumers on the two platforms.

Many domestic media commented that this may be a turning point for the two companies, and it must be overthinking. Taobao’s traffic is still the largest e-commerce platform in China. The goal of Jumeijuhuasuan has always been "Taobao Mall · Tianmao", which is full of difficulties and cannot be conquered.

However, Lao Liu has changed his view of Qu Li. He no longer simply thinks that he is a lucky young man. After all, Glory's income of 30 billion U.S. dollars in half a year is too much inherent cognition.

Yang Yuanqing didn't have much opinion of Qu Li, but he still felt uncomfortable when an ordinary younger brother around him suddenly surpassed him and received more international praise than him.

Lei Jun was called the new working emperor on the Internet, and Qu Li quickly refuted the rumors on Weibo: "Lei Jun is a partner, not a worker. Glory is our common cause."

This is unimaginable when talking about politics. Yang Yuanqing is envious of Lei Jun, but he also knows that he has no chance anyway. Fortunately, he is the largest individual shareholder of a certain idea.

A gathering among friends in Zhongguancun, many people came, including Li Yanhong, Zhang Chaoyang, Cao Guowei, and many other people Quli knew or didn't know. Qiu Bojun was very popular, and then Jiu Jin began to reminisce about the past. At the beginning, the success of WPS was the success of individual heroism, and now only the team fight is left.

Reminiscing about the turbulent past, Qu Li does not have their sentiments. Anyway, he is not old enough to reminisce about the past. He has always liked to "go past the past" and create history. Today he is not the center of the party, Qiu Bojun did not discuss Jinshan's future with him, so he believed him, believed Lei Jun.

In the first half of the party, Qiu Bojun was the protagonist, but unexpectedly in the second half, it turned to Glory. Although these people are all in Beijin and have complicated relationships with classmates and colleagues, Glory has established a relatively strict confidentiality system, so even if these people are well-informed, The understanding of Glory is limited, so Qu Lizai can talk nonsense without any taboos.

In China, there is only one thought about the possible acquisition of Motorola besides Honor. Enter Google Shopping Search. And this time it was Motorola that Honor first contacted.

"Without Google's intervention, the price of this acquisition may be controlled at around US$10 billion, but the difficulty of the acquisition will be greatly increased, as they have too many patents..." Lei Jun explained, he did not say that Qu Li originally wanted to blackmail, there is a cheap Just take it, train the team if it is not cheap, and increase the company's collective sense of honor.

"An extra $2.5 billion, is it worth it?" Someone asked

"The more than 4,000 patents of Nortel Networks are worth 4.5 billion US dollars, the 17,000 patents of moto are more valuable, and there are 5,000 patents under review..." Lao Liu knows the situation very well, and Honor really wants to get 17,000 patents , then it can be both offensive and defensive, and can wield patent weapons to check and balance other mobile phone brands, especially Apple. It's really naive to think that after signing the settlement agreement, everyone will be able to live in peace forever.

"How did you reach an agreement with Google so quickly?"

"It was decided after a few talks during the Sun Valley summit."

why so fast Of course, Google is in a hurry, because after Apple and they carve up the patents, they will throw the less valuable patents to patent hooligans and collect money from Android mobile phone brands.

The acquisition of Honor means that a certain company has basically cut off the possibility of selling mobile phones to the world, and it is also possible for ZTE and Chrysanthemum Factory, but their decision is really incomprehensible. 10, but most of them are functional phones. They can make some money now, but when the market abandons functional phones, how much will they have in stock?

"After the acquisition is completed, you are the No. 1 in the smartphone industry, right?"

Is this a joke or is he? Looking at the financial report, we know that Apple's profit margin far exceeds that of Honor. There are many reasons for this. Apple's supply chain management is the world's top, and its profit margin is the world's first.

Glory has developed a bad habit of Qu Li, who likes to use money to solve problems, and the management level can't keep up. There are three OEM companies, and the proportion of sales channels is higher, which has depressed the company's profit margin.

Qu Li’s purchase of Motorola is half true, and he doesn’t know the other half. It can be said that he has achieved a combination of fiction and reality, true and false, deceiving others and himself. Taking advantage of this acquisition, we will poach people from Motorola, and then we will reorganize and refine management from the supply chain to sales channels.

Glory’s reputation and strength have been widely recognized by the financial media and Internet news from all over the world because of the acquisition of “cultivating internal strength”, so no matter what the result is, it will be profitable in the end.

With Honor and Motorola, there is a high probability that smartphone sales will be number one in the world, but without Apple making money, the real industry leader is always the IPhone. But if someone wants to be a competitor, he must not show his timidity, so he cannot tell the truth.

"If you buy moto, are there any opportunities for other brands in the domestic market?" Yang Yuanqing asked suddenly

"Of course, I think besides Apple, Samsung, and Honor, there will be at least three domestic brands that can rise up and compete with Nokia..." Qu Li said casually

"Is Nokia really dead?" Zhang Chaoyang was even interested.

"Who knows, but they're not special anymore."

"Has Google ceded the domestic operating system market to you?"

"It's the KMS service, including the app store..." In order to protect his own interests, Qu Li and Google reached a peace agreement, established a mobile phone authentication protection mechanism, and granted different levels of authorization to Android phones based on KMS or GMS services.

To put it simply, it is to forcefully promote the Kunlun operating system mobile service KMS in China through various means.
