Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

When Qu Li could pay with WeChat when buying tea eggs downstairs in Beijin Hotel, he knew that mobile payment was successful, Time Jumei was successful, and they had an undefeated business from then on.

Time Jumei’s status in the country at this time is very special. If you want to say it is all-encompassing, I always feel that something is wrong. E-commerce is not as good as Ali, search is not as good as Baidu, and social networking seems to have surpassed Goose Factory and Kaixin.

Kaixin.com and Goosechang Friends Network fought endlessly. In the end, Goosechang defeated Kaixin.com with its rich experience. Unfortunately, with the rise of Weibo, WeChat and Xiaohongshu, Kaixin.com became cannon fodder. Now Kaixin.com has transformed into a game company. It focused on social games at first. However, FB changed the rules of the game and fell from the peak to the bottom. Fortunately, there are mobile games to support it.

Chen Binghao originally thought that he was the proud man of heaven, but he was severely attacked by Goose Factory and FB at home and abroad. He finally recognized the reality and knew how awesome Qu Li was. A good idea is not a necessary condition for success. Entrepreneurs like Qu Li who are "born" with a keen sense of smell and can adjust in time are "invincible".

Chen Binghao originally thought that the ancient song search was over after being backstabbed by 365. Unexpectedly, Qu Li actually had a way to change the front line. Now it has become the search website with the largest market share on the mobile phone, which in turn has stabilized the market share on the PC side. .

Not only Chen Binghao, but also very few entrepreneurs in China were unconvinced by Qu Li. Therefore, when the country publicly advocated "mass innovation and entrepreneurship", many people followed Qu Li's growth footsteps and started their businesses from Taobao stores.

There are millions of Taobao sellers, but many e-commerce brands have succeeded. However, trying to replicate the success of Time Jumei is like a dream. No one knows how Qu Li made up his mind to build his own logistics at that time and persisted. .

The reason is easy to find. Qu Li’s early speech illustrates it. He believes that goods, price and service are the three elements for the success of e-commerce. Self-built logistics is to improve service levels. But how did Qu Li, who had difficulty raising money, persevere despite the opposition of venture capital?

Of course, Chen Binghao didn't know that Qu Li had opened a cheat, and his inner strength was so strong that no one could shake his thoughts at that time, so he could persist.

After so many years of business, Chen Binghao has gone from looking down on Qu Li to now somewhat admiring him. He is not as "realistic" as Wang Xing at all. As a top student, Wang Xing most likely looks down on Qu Li, but he is still able to maintain the cooperation between the two parties. Among them Qu Li's active non-interference was at play, and the most important thing was Wang Xing's own "reality".

Kaixin.com still has hundreds of millions of users, but social games are basically dead. Mobile games are still working hard, and the market value has dropped to more than one billion US dollars. At this time, Chen Binghao found Qu Li and wanted to get help from Shiguang.

But Qu Li hadn't paid attention to Kaixin.com for a long time, and he really had no idea, so he had to contact Lu Qi and Huang Zheng.

"Time still has a game business?"

"Yes?" Qu Li didn't remember.

"There is a game company in Xingsha in time, which operates Great Wall Escape, city parkour, and some casual games." Lu Qi has a good memory.

"Ah, they haven't closed down yet?"

"..." Lu Qi suddenly felt sweating on the top of his head. He touched it and found that his head was a little big. However, he immediately prepared himself mentally. Qu Li had too much business, and some of the detailed business under Guangguang really couldn't reach him.

"They have achieved stable profits and no one is in charge. How could it be possible..."

Lu Qi said this, and Qu Li also felt that they were too comfortable. Xingsha was originally a fringe city, and Shi Shi had more programmers in Rongcheng than Xing Sha, and it used to be under Qu Li's direct jurisdiction. Now Jumei has changed its name to Shi Shi, and they The status is naturally high.

Times are lucky, but no one cares about them, which does not mean they have fallen. Qu Li is relatively successful in team building. The two parkour mobile games are relatively popular around the world and have entered the top 10 games in the app store. .

When Qu Li learned about the situation, he discovered that they were now authorized by the League of Legends to develop a card game: Legend of Heroes, which quickly reached the top 10 in the domestic game rankings. What's even more exaggerated is that their person in charge is Guo Tao, CTO of Time Network, who was planning to retire in Xingsha. How did he transform from a senior programmer to a game development boss?

"Being idle is also idle, you always have to find something to do."

"Aren't you the CTO of Time Network?" Qu Li recalled

"But WeChat and Xiaohongshu are not my responsibility, and the website and music software have not faced many challenges..." Guo Tao

"..." This world is quite magical. Many people don't succeed because they don't have opportunities, they don't have a platform, and they don't make the right choices. It's not because they don't have the ability.

"..." Qu Li continued to be silent. He was wondering if there was any possibility of cooperation between Shiguang and Kaixin.com. At first, he planned to sell Shiguang's game business to Kaixin.com and become the majority shareholder of Kaixin.com, but now they are doing so well. , it seems a pity to give up.

"Have you ever thought about listing the game department you are responsible for?" Qu Li asked

"Why go public? It's not a good time now?"

Well, Qu Li forgot that this person wanted to be a Buddhist daddy. He didn't want to work hard or struggle, so he instinctively pursued perfection. Only then did he make the game good, and although it was profitable, his profitability has never been higher or lower. , did not arouse the covetation of Shiguang CFO Bian Liang

After understanding Guo Tao's thoughts, Qu Li and Lu Qi expressed their opinions, that is, they had no opinion, whatever happened, the time game was neither his nor Guo Tao's.

Lu Qi took over the task, and Qu Li turned around and re-examined Kaixin.com, feeling even more dissatisfied. He had told Chen Binghao to focus on developing mobile games, but he didn't expect people to make money in social games, especially on the FB platform. However, there was serious path dependence. I chose the PC side, which is more mature in the industry, between the PC side and the mobile phone side. As a result, the competition was fierce, the experience was insufficient, and the investment was in vain.

Goose Factory and Wangyi are the leaders in domestic excellent fields, especially Goose Factory. Now they are not short of money. Mobile social networking is taken advantage of by WeChat. They have their own basic base relying on mobile QO, but games have become the core of Goose Factory. business. Not to mention the Internet, the mailbox business exists to attract traffic, and raising pigs is to eat and drink well.

The two giants, plus Perfect World, Shengtian Network, Sohu Changyou, etc., make the competition in the domestic game industry very fierce. Although Kaixin.com has a traffic advantage, its monthly active users continue to decline, and Chen Binghao jumps back and forth between user experience and monetization...

"This person's decision-making ability is so poor..." Qu Li lamented. If Qu Li discovered the risk, he would definitely make preparations in advance and complete the transformation within two or three years. For example, in addition to mobile games, Kaixin.com can also be an e-commerce company. , live broadcasting, and acquisition of outstanding start-up companies, such as the Huayi brothers, who have invested in Palm Qu.

The current situation is that Kaixin.com has US$5.6 billion in cash on its books, and the company’s market value is less than US$2 billion. This is really embarrassing. (End of chapter)
