Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Honor G2 is a big hit in the United States, surpassing IPhone 3G. Apple Qiaobos doesn’t know where the confidence comes from. Only the fake 3G of edge does not support WCDMA, so the Internet speed is only one-tenth of Honor G2.

Apple’s global sales channels are better than Honor’s, but it pursues higher profits, and requires traffic sharing with operators. Being involved in Honor’s suspicion of life, Apple has lost many important partners, such as Deutsche Telekom T-mobile and Dongying Softbank. .

Honor G2 has many problems, such as battery life, system fluency, and mobile phone security. Consumers don’t care whether the mobile operating system is provided by Google Android or Microsoft, they only care about user experience, while Honor only wants a good experience for its own mobile phone, and Google Want more mobile phone brands to use Android.

Fortunately, at this time, the priority of cooperation between Honor and Google Android is higher than that of other companies such as HTC, and many ideas have been fully cooperated, including canceling the search and only retaining the classic three-button navigation. As for the user interface design, that is a matter of glory, the Android native interface and theme background are too ugly.

As for putting all APPs on the desktop or the application list plus desktop mode, he prefers a flat design, but more people like a clean desktop, so let’s just use it. Google Android and most mobile phone companies will compromise for their own interests. Think about it, how much does it cost to bundle an APP and click to register?

No matter what, Qu Li wants to maintain the relationship with Google Android on the one hand, and win more initiative for Honor on the other hand. Fortunately, although HTC has a wild way, it has not put all its chips on Android. Microsoft is HTC's uncle.

It may be because Honor is too successful. Someone in Honor found the CEO of HTC and Ms. Wang Xuehong in Silicon Valley. Qu Li has no curiosity about this strange woman. In terms of personal achievements, she is already very good. The return of Wanwan, this is a good thing to break the monopoly, but unfortunately the heart is too big, the market is too small, the government of Wanwan is not strong, and they look down on the domestic market and consumers. In the end...

"Maintain normal social interaction and adhere to the principle of not taking bribes." Qu Li can only do this. As a mid-sized company, it is right to be cautious in the United States. No one knows when the knife will fall. Even if it is legal and compliant, it will be missed. Some almost, but could last longer.

"I understand, I will keep an eye on HTC..."

"..." When will I let you stare at HTC? It is said that Google company fights internally and you come up with a bribe to embarrass them, how can you feel better?

"Google is our long-term partner, don't hurt Google's interests."

"I understand……"

A qualified or excellent subordinate must learn to make up for it properly.

Qu Li, who stayed in the United States, stared at Glory and Shopee, and received another investment invitation letter from Facebook in his work mailbox. Only then did he remember that there was another Tesla that he had forgotten.

"How is Facebook doing now?"

"160 million registered users, 61 million active users..." Huang Zheng replied, his assistant came to Shopee in Silicon Valley from China.

"Facebook also sent another cooperation plan, wanting to share revenue with us..."

"Is it appropriate for Shopee to develop too fast?" Qu Li did not immediately reject Zuckerberg's request. If he wants to share, there will definitely be more traffic support, including the display of key positions in the user interface. For Jumei, there are pros and cons Mix it up.

"Shopee's revenue in the 2008 fiscal year (from November of the previous year to October of this year) reached 450 million U.S. dollars, and Jumei's domestic revenue was 850 million U.S. dollars. If it cooperates with Facebook to share revenue, Shopee's revenue next year may be 20. One hundred million U.S. dollars."

"The key is whether we can meet such a large demand."

"I don't know, it depends on Facebook's specific cooperation requirements."

Yes, Facebook did not sell goods in its previous life, it has always advertised, but now it may be forced to rush. There are 160 million registered users worldwide, and it is still growing at a high speed. Under the huge cost pressure, the world is in a financial crisis. Decrease, FB revenue growth slowed down.

"You guys want to raise money, what is the valuation, and how much do you want?" Qu Li called Zuckerberg directly.

"The valuation remains unchanged from the previous round, and the financing is 100 to 200 million yuan."

"Then let's talk about cooperation. When Brady comes back from England, I'll let him contact you."

"Why are you unwilling to participate in financing?" Zuckerberg asked directly

"The valuation is too high. Everyone is short of money at this time. It is difficult for me to convince investors."

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"I don't know, but I think it must be within $10 billion."

"Then I can only say sorry to you, we have no shortage of investors."

"It's okay, I wish you good luck." Qu Li hung up the phone, FB will have a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, but so what, the future of Jumei and Shopee is not bad.

Arranged Huang Zheng to work on the cooperation plan between Shopee and FB. He was going to deal with Taylor Swift. Her "Fearless" was popular in the United States, selling 600,000 copies a week. Qu Li wrote the lyrics and composed the music and sang "Chasing Stars", which was second only to The title song "Fearless" was very popular.

Li doesn't care if the song is popular or not, anyway, he doesn't sing it anyway, as long as the audience is wide enough and the Honor G2 is popular enough, he will be happy. Taylor Swift felt that she resonated with him, so she wanted to communicate more with him. No, Qu Li took her to meet a hard-working entrepreneur.

Musk has three companies at this time, SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity, another company that makes solar energy. They divorced at the beginning of the year and lost a sum of money. According to him later, this time was so bad that he even had to borrow money to live by 2009.

"Don't look at this man so sloppy, but he is engaged in two great careers, one is rocket launch, and the other is pure electric vehicles..." Qu Li brought Taylor Swift to Musk, and the guy said it was miserable , but there is a beautiful actress, Talulah Riley, who later married him and gave birth to monkeys.

Taylor Swift, who is less than 20 years old, has a good impression of this cool man. Tesla's Roadster is very cool, and the driving experience is completely different from that of a gasoline car. Taylor drives out to play, Qu Li and Musk talk about business.

"Tesla is like this, how do you let me set up my own pure electric car company with peace of mind, Qu Li listened to Musk's words and knew Tesla's plight, lack of money is difficult to mass-produce."

"Difficulties are temporary..."

"The cost of building a factory in China will be very low, but there may be no market; the cost in the United States will be high but there will be a market. There really is no such thing as the best of both worlds."

"Then I'll go to China to build a factory and ship the cars to America for sale?"

"What do you think, China does not allow wholly foreign-owned auto companies to exist, and if you look at General Motors, Ford and Volkswagen, which company is not making a lot of money in China, how can you have a chance? Even if I want to build a car, it is still difficult. , and now the company has not even been established.”

Qu Li talked about his troubles. He wanted to set up a battery company first, and then set up an automobile company when the time was right to control the three cores of the car, the battery, the motor, and the electronic control.

"Then why doesn't your Honor G2 design its own chip?"

"It costs too much and takes too long..."

"Now that you know, you should know the trade-offs. To build a car, the most important thing is to sell the finished car." Musk advised Qu Li: "Tesla's steps are: build a sports car; That money to build an affordable car; use that money to build an even more affordable car...”

"Do I have to do the same?"

"Who knows, you're not in the US market, I don't understand China, and Tesla's future is still uncertain..."

"It's okay, I brought you $50 million." As soon as Qu Li's voice fell, Musk seemed to see a savior shining.
