Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qiancheng is a fuel car, Geometry is a pure electric car, sedans and SUVs with falcon-wing doors are medium and large vehicles, and the third model is a medium-sized SUV. The design requirements are dual-motor four-wheel drive with stronger power. It is definitely not as good as the technology in seven or eight years. Model Y, but good enough.

"Why don't you give up the falcon wing door design?"

"Why?" Qu Li

"You have to control R\u0026D investment, personnel size, and..." Zhang Qinan

"..." Qu Li was a little embarrassed

"A lot of money has been spent on the design of the falcon wing door. Do we use rear-wheel drive or dual-motor full-drive for this medium and large car? Have you calculated how many cars you will have to sell to get back the cost?" Zhang Qinan was a little excited: "I just said I am oblivious."

Well, Qu Li never cared about the cost. Glory has a profit of 10 billion US dollars a year. Money is not a problem, the problem is that you can't spend it indiscriminately.

"Do you want to be a luxury car brand BBA, or a Volkswagen Toyota?"

"It can only be the latter." Qu Li knows that the logic of electric vehicles may be different from that of fuel vehicles, and it is unknown how many brands can exist in the end. In order to survive, he has no other way but to face difficulties and expand the scale of production and sales.

"The falcon wing door is so cool, and the car that can enhance the brand image is just abandoned?"

"I didn't say to give up, we can wait for our medium-sized SUV to succeed..."

"Dual-motor four-wheel drive solution, can't the cost be low?"

"It's still impossible."

Qu Li doesn't want to become a BBA, but his strength doesn't allow it, so he can only go from high to low, and gradually change from a high-end brand to a civilian brand.

"Since we don't develop a falcon wing door SUV, we should make a plug-in hybrid as soon as possible." Qu Li will not let them idle, 996 is a must. After the acquisition of Saab, in order to make a profit as soon as possible, the research and development of the special hybrid engine was postponed, and the modified version of the existing engine was used.

It is still the idea of ​​DMi, using a simple structure to realize complex functions, mainly using electricity and supplemented by oil, the fuel consumption of power feed is controlled at about 5L, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is 3L.

Don’t think that this number is outrageous. The fuel consumption of the Honda Accord and the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid is controlled at around 2L. I don’t know who is bragging why such a “good” technology was later beaten by BYD DMi.

"Can our plug-in hybrid come out next year?"

"..."

"What about the next year?"

"possible."

"Hey!" Qu Li sighed. He remembered that after the Ukraine incident, the price of oil plummeted, and the biggest advantage of plug-in hybrids, energy saving and fuel saving, could not be displayed, so the battery life could only be seen. This is also good, to resolve the biggest worry of consumers buying pure electric vehicles, the direction can not be wrong.

In the days when Qiancheng Geometry was doing engineering research and development, Qu Li was called by Lei Jun to go to Jinshan Software. Last year, the revenue was 1.6 billion, and the loss was 100 million. However, in the first quarter of this year, revenue began to increase rapidly. After all, Jinshan has three trump cards, "Swordsman", "LOL" and "Minecraft".

What opinions can Jinshan shareholders have? It's useless to have an opinion, because no one listens anyway.

Under the leadership of CEO Wu Shihong, the revenue of the enterprise security business has grown the fastest, office software has begun to reduce advertisements, and the number of users has increased, but the revenue has not increased.

Qu Li did not say anything at the shareholder meeting. He is still satisfied with the current Kingsoft. The growth of WPS takes time. It should be right to stick to the subscription system and make it a SaaS platform. Jinshan Antivirus also needs to strengthen the security team, build up reputation, and change Kuaipan to Jinshan Cloud Disk...

"Now Jinshan finally has the feeling of earlier years." Leaving Jinshan Company, Lei Jun and Qu Li recalled the past. If Qu Li hadn't been involved, they might have split Jinshan's various business segments into independent ones. Subsidiaries, of course, are different now.

In the past, Jinshan had ideals but no direction, but now Jinshan has direction and ideals. Although it focuses more on B-end customers, at least the goal is clear. At first, I was worried about whether I could make money. Now three games have been accepted one after another, and the prospects are bright. The reaction to the capital market is that the stock price has risen and the market value has exceeded 10 billion. This is still because Jinshan is losing money.

"The arrival of Qu Li has injected imagination space into Jinshan." Some media commented on the reasons for the rise of Jinshan's stock price. . Simply put, it is to separate the game development department from the operation department, reduce the factors that interfere with creation, and poach a lot of game talents from NetEase and Goose Factory.

Lei Jun, however, sees further, at least he does not seem to have said in public the theory of "window" that he has already formed. What he said most is: "Return to the essence of business, and create products that touch people's hearts based on user needs! "

When the two walked together, Lei Jun talked about Microsoft's Zhang Hongjiang, who later became the CEO of Kingsoft. Unfortunately, he was always inferior in technology and management.

"Then let him do cloud computing." Qu Li doesn't think laymen can't lead experts, the key is ability, otherwise Ari won't let the chief financial officer be the CEO.

"Compete with Jumeiyun?" Lei Jun said

"Courage is commendable!" Qu Li praised. Jumei Ali has invested heavily in this field and is already ahead of its peers. Of course, it does not mean that there is no opportunity. A public cloud computing company established this year was later listed on the A-share market. Jinshan Cloud also has a market cap of $1 billion.

"Then we can only choose OpenStack." Lei Jun seemed to have never heard of it. Jumei is really powerful and will take more and more initiative in the future.

OpenStack is an open source cloud computing infrastructure platform. Later, all domestic companies except Ali built "self-developed" cloud computing on this platform. Chrysanthemum Factory is particularly excellent. Encyclopedia shows that it started to do cloud computing in 2005. ancestor".

Kingsoft still has advantages in cloud computing. WPS has many users, which is a very good platform. Now it has transformed into a professional network security company. These advantages are not available to others. Kingsoft Cloud has not developed, most likely due to lack of money and lack of investment, and the development of WPS is a bit slow, otherwise it can take the route of Microsoft Azure and office365.

Qu Li also briefly talked about some future development directions and functions of WPS. Cloud computing not only includes public cloud IaaS, but also software as a service (SaaS).

"WPS can be made by itself, or it can become an open platform, attracting Kingdee UFIDA or other start-up companies that meet the standards to settle in." Qu Lizhen thinks that WPS has great growth potential, but it is a slow step. In the future, collaborative office, online video conference, etc. Yes, it can all be done through WPS.

Lei Jun is not surprised to hear that, Qu Li seems to like openness, the acquisition of Shopify, a Canadian e-commerce website building platform, is open to third parties, and Tongda Network is even more open.

"There is also a man named Fu Sheng. He came from 365, and he was a little unhappy with Zhou Hongyi." Lei Jun talked about one he invested in, and at first he wanted to be included in the Jinshan system, but Qu Li was very concerned about Jinshan's investment. The change was too big, so it was delayed, and then Fu Sheng's entrepreneurial project was close to bankruptcy...

"You can be optimistic, but what we need is not security guards, but professional ability. Virus detection and killing rate protection ability is the key..." Qu Li added

"I want someone to put him in charge of mobile tool apps." Lei Jun

"Oh, very good." Qu Li

"Would you like to meet?" Lei Jun sent out an invitation, wanting Qu Li to check it out. After all, he is one of the few client development geniuses in China.

"Forget it, it's not necessary." Qu Li didn't have much affection for Fu Sheng: "By the way, we can develop an app for sharing WiFi..."
