Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

"I think the size of the enterprise should be controlled within 20,000 people. This will not only...but also...Microsoft's market value has dropped from 600 billion US dollars to about 300 billion now, and Apple's market value..." Zhang Hongjiang faced Qu Li and Lei Jun speaks eloquently

Because of the existence of Honor, Samsung finally concentrated its strategic core on Android, Nokia walked on two legs, and the Android camp became stronger than ever, so Apple's market value declined.

"Do you think Microsoft has no innovation vitality?" Qu Li

"Yes, but it is difficult to convert into market influence, just like the current IBM..."

IBM is another great company. It’s really not about raising others’ ambitions and destroying their own prestige. They invented personal computers, laser eye surgery, memory cards, barcodes and magnetic stripe cards, and they ranked first in the number of new patents in the United States for 19 consecutive years.

But it has something to do with them.

"so what?"

"I think companies should control the scale to maintain vitality..."

As he grows older, Qu Li can more or less understand some "interludes". Jinshan only has a few thousand employees, and it is unknown whether the number of employees in the future will exceed 10,000. This is to give him an opinion that the employees of Jumei and Glory are too too much?

"Do you think that if Microsoft changes its CEO, can the company's market value return to more than $600 billion?"

"It's too difficult." Zhang Hongjiang said after thinking for a few minutes

"I think they have at least a 50% chance of becoming great again." Qu Li is envious, Microsoft's annual net profit is so high, no, Honor's net profit this year seems to be quite a lot, there is no need to envy others.

"Impossible?" Zhang Hongjiang

"Apple may be even better than you think." Qu Li didn't go into details. If you don't study carefully, many people don't understand the strength of Apple. He only said that in 2012, the revenue was 150 billion, the net profit was 40 billion US dollars, and there was no dividend. , which means that as long as the smartphone industry exists and there is no major technological change, they cannot fail. Glory only needs to add one more condition, and there is no strong external pressure.

I chatted with Zhang Hongjiang a lot, from business to technology, from change to invariance, Qu Li always felt that this person was not in tune with him, for example he said:

"The life and death of a company is even in an instant. If you miss a key point of technological change, you may be eliminated. If your business model changes a little slower, you may be eliminated. So for us, it is to grasp and even guide users. The other is to quickly transform a technological trend into a business model."

Qu Li’s experience in the entrepreneurial practice of Jumei, Glory and Future Geometry is not like this. Change is very important, but most of the changes are actually icing on the cake, bells and whistles, and have no practical value.

What he considered in Jumei was what would remain unchanged in e-commerce retail ten years later, and then he considered changes. Qu Li didn't give an answer on the spot, the meaning was already obvious.

"Why?" Lei Jun was puzzled, he thought this time the opportunity was great

"When a big factory comes out, it only sees changes, but it doesn't see constant people. Are you serious about directly controlling a commercial enterprise after coming out of a research and development position?" Qu Li began to doubt Lei Jun's ability to choose key issues. For example, the initial cost-effective model of coarse grain mobile phones can bring benefits to consumers, but it is a shackle for a commercial enterprise. It is impossible to be a great business without enough profit.

Before Lei Jun could think about it clearly, Wu Shihong came to look for him.

"I was chatting with customers when I was doing network security, and I met many customers who asked if we could help them with enterprise security and city security." hired a company technician..."

Qu Li heard several meanings from Wu Shihong's words. She is business-oriented, and she has ideas, but it seems that there is not much support for her within the company, so that until now she is not clear about the two things of network security and security. understanding.

"Mr. Lei, you can ask Zhang Hongjiang to see if he is interested in becoming Kingsoft CTO and Kingsoft Cloud CEO. You can join the Jinshan Board of Directors first, and see the performance in three to five years." Qu Li turned his head and said to Lei Jun

"Okay." Lei Jun didn't know why Qu Li was going crazy, and changed CTO if he disagreed, but he turned around and chased Zhang Hongjiang.

Qu Li and Wu Shihong understand the difficulties she encountered in Jinshan, and feel that this female CEO is capable and lacks courage, but it doesn’t matter, anyway, both office and security need to give customers a sense of “stableness”, and someone who is too radical is not suitable .

Qu Li and Lei Jun are not in Jinshan very much, Wu Shihong is in control, and under Qu Li's promotion, after a blood exchange, she should be able to control the overall situation logically, but there are many old employees in Jinshan, Lei Jun can't do it .

If there is no Qu Li, he even plans to spin off Jinshan, which means that the internal cohesion may be lost, just like the various spin-offs and listings of Arigoudong. Many people say that the essence of financial operations is Insufficient control performance.

I don't know how Lei Jun persuaded him, but Zhang Hongjiang came back not long after.

"There is actually a conflict between Kingsoft, which needs to be safe, meticulous and stable, and the rapid change of the Internet era. Cloud computing is a good integration tool. Have you noticed that Office 365, Microsoft has shifted towards a subscription-based SaaS model."

"With the accumulation of enterprise security and office software users, Kingsoft has a great advantage over other Internet companies in terms of cloud computing to develop customers in traditional industries."

The above is nothing new, Qu Li continued to talk about the changes that Kingsoft needs to make, network security changes according to actual needs, WPS can open application stores, template libraries, libraries, etc., add cloud functions, and do a good job in online collaborative office.

"There is also security monitoring. Through Internet cloud computing, it can provide high-definition and smooth video surveillance services. Not to mention transportation, financial and other market needs, even agriculture and environmental protection. We plant trees in the northwest..."

"Kingsoft's cloud computing doesn't have to be strong, but it must be. This is the intersection and service guarantee of almost all businesses." Qu Li said a lot, including cloud computing, office, games, and security. In other words, he agreed with Wu Shihong's idea of ​​developing a security business. This kind of business is beyond the imagination of most Internet users. It is just a video surveillance. How simple, Hikvision has achieved an annual net profit of over 10 billion yuan and a market value of 300 billion yuan. .

Zhang Hongjiang didn't feel much about this, but Wu Shihong was quite moved.

What they don't know is that Microsoft's still inconspicuous Office 365, including Nadella, the person behind it, this Indian will "refresh" Microsoft, an old big company, in the future, achieving its market value of 2 trillion US dollars.

Qu Li has already cheated, but he is not the only one in this world who cheated. This is an era where heroes are born in large numbers.
