Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qu Li didn't know if selling 100,000 pairs of sneakers in the United States in three months was considered a success, but he knew that ten years later, Pin Xixi would sell 1.38 million pairs of cotton shoes in three months.

Breaking down the task, 100,000 pairs in three months is equivalent to selling 1,111 pairs a day. Two or three workers in China are enough. The labor efficiency of grassroots workers in the United States is 100% lower than that in China. Moreover, those from large companies have a strong process thinking, that is, many things must follow the process, reduce mistakes, and clarify responsibilities.

Needless to say, for Jumei, the process design has just begun. Through Brady, Qu Li obtained Amazon's process design plan and passed it on to Xu Lei, Xu Xiaoqin and others in China for reference.

For a large company, the process is very important. It can make employees look less, or even look at the face of the leader. There is a clear path to advancement, and it can effectively reduce corruption. For start-up companies, everything follows the process, which will slow down the company's response speed.

Qu Li communicated with Brady openly, willing to absorb him into the partner system, give him equity incentives, and take certain risks so that shopee has more possibilities for success, that is, more flexibility.

It's not enough to draw a cake for the crooked nuts, but also to determine the benefits, so I need to go back to the Yangcheng headquarters with Qu Li to meet with everyone, and discuss the performance benchmarks of equity incentives by the way. This involves complex mathematical calculations, because Quli provides powerful social advertising support for shopee.

Before returning to China, Qu Li went to Twitter again to discuss the revision. Qu Li drew a brief PC version of Weibo for Jack Dorsey, mentioned Facebook's information flow, and followed, liked, replied and shared four things set.

"Let Yang Zhiyuan and other celebrity shareholders open Twitter accounts and speak more..." Qu Li directly took out Weibo's celebrity strategy and explained to Jack Dorsey that even if this routine cannot be repeated in the United States, it can still become a model for strangers to socialize .

"Facebook is social networking with acquaintances and a part of our surrounding life, so Twitter can become a tool for everyone to discover the world. When iPhone and honor become the mainstream of mobile phones, every mobile phone user can become a Twitter user, and you can find them anytime, anywhere. The first live news. For example, next year's Olympic Games, we can plan an event to discover the world through Twitter..." Qu Li meant to let Twitter employees pretend to be users to make an Olympic topic, and before that, they could also participate in the Super Bowl and other hot events.

"The problem is that the Honor mobile phone is really..." Jack Dorsey can understand Qu Li's logic, but he doesn't believe in the basis of this logic

"You don't believe me, Apple Jobs and Google Schmidt? They are both promoting the development of smartphones. Honor can fail, but Android will succeed anyway." When Qu Li promoted in the United States, of course, he wanted to downplay Honor's China. Background: This is an international brand backed by Google.

After some communication, Qu Li persuaded Jack Dorsey to prevent the current CEO from feeling pressure, but he might put pressure on him if he encounters difficulties in implementation. Fortunately, as the founder of a small company, Evan Williams is still very talkative at this time.

The matter on Twitter has temporarily come to an end, and I went to Google Android to communicate. Honor is ready for mass production, and the Android system optimization speed needs to be accelerated. To get through the supply chain, you need to borrow Google's name. These things must be communicated in advance.

Then he met Paul Jacobs, the CEO of Qualcomm, and discussed the future development of the Apple iPhone and the honor mobile phone. It was not that Qu Li wanted to make Qualcomm stronger, but it was because there was no suitable chip design company except Qualcomm. . Qu Li was able to get in touch with Qualcomm with the help of Google.

"We need more highly integrated mobile phone chips, mobile processors and GPUs..."

"We're already working on new mobile processor chips."

"What about your goals? Have you considered emerging smartphone companies?"

Of course not. How could Paul Jacobs put the so-called "smartphone" in his eyes before? Although the sales of Apple's iPhone are good, it is still very limited for the entire market. To enter, the meaning is very different.

Qualcomm currently does not have the chip that Honor needs. The first smartphone uses a Texas Instruments chip, GSM and WCDMA standard baseband. This mobile phone Google wants to sell in the US market. Apart from patent issues, Qu Li can't think of a reason to reject it. Fortunately, Google will establish the Open Mobile Phone Alliance, and patent issues can be negotiated at that time.

In addition to patent issues and trademark issues, these things require Qu Li's participation. Fortunately, Zhou Shaoning has rich experience, at most he has no international experience, but he will not make common-sense mistakes.

The chat between Qu Li and Paul Jacobs this time was more about general things. After all, there is no basis for cooperation now.

"Is it possible for Qualcomm to license CDMA patents to one or two domestic baseband chip companies, not necessarily big companies like Huawei."

"What, you want to develop a CDMA baseband chip?" Paul Jacobs

"I asked my colleagues that baseband chips need continuous investment, and Texas Instruments' baseband business seems to be unable to make money. I am worried that I will not find a suitable supplier in the future, so I want to support one or two start-ups in China."

"Patent licensing is complicated."

"But CDMA has only Qualcomm as an option, which always makes people worry."

"Whoever said that there is only one choice for Qualcomm, China has Wei Rui Dentsu..."

"This company did not continue to invest, and basically gave up..."

"Do you want to use the CDMA patent yourself, or let others use it?"

"Of course it's me, but I don't think Glory will be treated specially."

"Honor mobile phone will enter the US market?"

"Google wants us to focus on the US market."

"I think you should consider the patent risks from Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson and other companies."

"They speak better than Qualcomm. In fact, I sometimes think that if China opens up the telecommunications market, I will set up a telecommunications company focusing on 4G network services, build a network all over the country by burning money, and then use almost free way to grab customers, do you think I can succeed?"

"I don't think China will open up the telecom market."

"Of course, so I can only think about it." Qu Li laughed straight, feeling ridiculous for himself. It's nothing more than an ant-sized corporate fox pretending to be a tiger, and threatening the hegemony of the industry. It's just crazy.

After separating from Qualcomm CEO, Qu Li quickly called Wu Hongning.

"You are also in the United States, so do you have time to come to Silicon Valley?"

"I'll fly over right away?" Wu Hongning didn't talk nonsense.

After hanging up the phone, Qu Li thought for a while and sent an email to Schmidt, emphasizing the importance of Qualcomm's patents and the potential to become the second only to Google in the Android Alliance.

Hey, it's a good time to talk about it, and the aftermath crematorium
