Reinventing the Millennium.

The work of YMS is not going well. Apart from calling friends to help solve the problem, Fang Zhuo is also considering related structural adjustments within the company.

Yike Investment was originally an independent company. When it acquired Sina, it appeared as an independent role. Later, for the convenience of development, it was acquired by Yike Technology and became a business department under "Yike".

However, when this department started to target the YMS ecology, its actions were somewhat weak. Major manufacturers have sufficient funds for horizontal or vertical expansion, and often need other resources as bargaining chips.

Correspondingly, just as an investment department team of Yike, their connection with the mobile phone product department is not smooth enough, and the resources on the negotiating table are not rich enough.

Fang Zhuo noticed this situation and felt that strategic adjustments must also require internal organizational changes—the establishment of the YMS business group is imminent, and the person in charge of this business group also needs to be carefully screened.

Yike's structure has always been relatively simple, the core of which is market and R&D, and the systems, marketing, hardware, software, supply chain and other departments that are extended around these two cores serve them. In addition, personnel, finance, legal , internal audit and other functional departments, which constitutes the entire system of Yike.

Before this year’s annual meeting, Fang Zhuo talked internally about making organizational adjustments in order to cope with the company’s future development and better adapt to the complex situation destined to face in the mobile Internet era. Today’s investment setback is just another presentation of the problem in sight.

On the morning of June 6, following the communication with Mr. Chen of SMIC, Mr. Xiong of IDG and Mr. Gou of Shenxin Kechuang also patted their chests and agreed, willing to help find institutional shareholders who are familiar with AutoNavi to talk about what Yike Investment can do. benefits.

Funding is only one aspect, and the C-terminal mobility that Yike can directly bring is another important aspect.

At ten o'clock, Shen Nanpeng, another important shareholder of AutoNavi, arrived in Shencheng. He was invited by Mr. Fang and flew over from there after temporarily finishing his work in Yangcheng.

Shen Nanpeng called in advance, and besides confirming the meeting time again, he also made a small request.

"Mr. Fang, I have an investor friend who happened to meet on the plane. He also wanted to meet with Yike. I don't know if it's convenient for Fang. It's Mr. Lei Jun."

Fang Zhuo was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Investor friends, do you all call him that now? Well, I'm still used to Jinshan's name. No problem, let's come together. I have also met Mr. Lei several times."

In fact, he is more used to the name of Xiaomi.

At the end of 07, Lei Jun resigned from the successful listing of Jinshan Company. In the first two months, "IT Times Weekly" just used Lei Jun, CEO of Jinshan Software, as the cover and wrote an article "Lei Jun" with more than [-] words. and His Golden Mountain Kingdom".

Lei Jun who resigned surprised everyone. He didn't seek another job and became an angel investor wholeheartedly.

Coincidentally, Fang Zhuo saw Lei Jun's name two days ago, and he was among the shareholders of UC Browser.

While waiting for the arrival of Shen Nanpeng and Lei Jun in the office, Fang Zhuo was reviewing the company's internal discussions. UC Browser refused to cooperate. Now there are three directions to choose from, Google, Sogou, and self-development.

The first thing to rule out is the Google browser. Eke mobile phones are now using Google abroad. This is the ecology of GMS, but it still faces a support problem in China.

The second is Sogou. Just a few days ago, the Sogou team’s focus was still on the PC side. Although there are Android and iOS products, it is very common to use now.

Either continue to promote the cooperation with Sogou, or set the open source kernel and then add magic changes.

Sogou has made it clear that it will be independent from Sohu, and will have the same problems as UC in the future. It needs to be commercialized, and this will conflict with Fang Zhuo's simple purpose.

Fang Zhuo adhered to the attitude of respecting independent operation, and he already had a tendency in his heart.

Near noon, the two investors arrived at the famous Hang Lung 23.

Hang Lung 23 has many stories in China, and many bigwigs have been here.

Randomly counting forward, in the past two months, a group of world-renowned funds have been bewildered, depressed, and wandering here.

On the way here, Shen Nanpeng and Lei Jun also had a small discussion about how President Fang is still being evaluated by foreign media. It's just a medal - of course, this medal is eye-catching enough.

"This is the strongest mobile phone finance company in the world."

Lei Jun was carrying a backpack, walked out of the elevator and saw the logo of Yike Company, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Shen Nanpeng pursed his lips and smiled. It wasn't just the domestic saying about Yi Ke, but the foreign media gave Yi Ke such a title, which was uncontroversial.

He touched the scene and talked about a past event that he seldom mentioned to others: "I bought Yike's stock with Xu Xiaoping before, and bought 500 million US dollars."

Lei Jun looked sideways: "April or May? How many times?"

"I will buy Yike when it is listed, oh yes, I also bought 500 million US dollars of shares in Bingxin through IDG." I came here specially to see Mr. Fang, and felt trapped."

He said with a smile: "Xu Xiaoping discussed with me, and waited until the stock price rose by 10% before selling. As a result, he really rushed to sell when it reached 10%. I laughed so hard."

Lei Jun also laughed: "Then you still keep it?"

Shen Nanpeng shook his head and said proudly: "No, I made 15% of the hand and made more than 70 US dollars."

Lei Jun was in awe, Shen Nanpeng's investment level was indeed higher than Xu Xiaoping's.

Shen Nanpeng spread his hands: "Who would have thought that Yi Ke would come out like this? We all bought it with our own money. At that time, we wanted to escape from Mr. Fang's clutches as soon as possible."

Lei Jun pinched the Mars3 mobile phone in his hand, Mr. Fang's claws have supernatural power.

While the two were talking, Liu Zonghong, Yi Ke's secretary to the president, came up to him.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Lei, this way please. Mr. Fang was just talking to Silicon Valley R&D. Let me greet you on his behalf." Liu Zonghong smiled and directed the direction of the president's office, while hesitating whether to help Mr. Lei He took off his backpack, but Mr. Lei was carrying it very solidly, so he didn't intend to put it down...

It is not the first time for Shen Nanpeng to come to Yike, and he is familiar with the road. Lei Jun's emotions are more complicated when he comes here for the first time.

When the two arrived at the president's office, Liu Zonghong knocked on the door lightly and pushed open the door obviously because he had been instructed in advance.

Two investors stepped into the office.

Lei Jun saw Mr. Fang who was still talking on the phone by the French window at first sight.

Mr. Fang showed a smile on his face, with one hand on the phone and the other pointing to the sofa to welcome him.

Lei Jun saw Mr. Fang again, and couldn't help popping up a few labels in his heart.

Mysterious man in this world!The world's top richest man!The creator of the Android King!Behind-the-scenes trading big players!
He felt that Mr. Fang was looking at him rather appreciatively. Seeing that the secretary next to him had already poured tea, he hurriedly sat down first.

One minute later, Fang Zhuo hung up the phone, stepped forward quickly, and shook hands one after another.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Lei, long time no see, I have a temporary call from Silicon Valley, sorry."

Shen Nanpeng said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, why are you being polite? I probably know what's going on. To be honest, I also think that AutoNavi should seize this wave of mobile Internet and actively transform into individual customers. "

Today's map manufacturers, AutoNavi, Kay Rucker, NavInfo, Baidu and other brands are mainly car navigation and GIS. With the gradual increase of geographical location information and applications on mobile phones, there are two directions in front of them. One is B end, one is C end.

The latter is a transformation, a development, and it would be great if we can get support from mobile phone manufacturers in this regard.

Shen Nanpeng believes from the bottom of his heart that Yike, which has money and hardware, is a perfect partner for AutoNavi. Even if it is worth delaying its listing in the United States, the only risk is that the management of AutoNavi owns a large number of shares and is reduced to a very low level.

Fang Zhuo was very happy that the investor was so forthright.

Shen Nanpeng not only invested in AutoNavi, but is now a director of AutoNavi. His words will increase his influence again.

Fang Zhuo happily talked about the minor problems that he encountered frequently recently, and said with certainty that he would definitely respect the independent operation of the company, and it was indeed Yike who was looking for a suitable partner.

This is a collaboration, nothing else.

Shen Nanpeng nodded frequently.

No problem, no problem, AutoNavi is already discussing transformation internally, and this investment by Yike is appropriate.

He picked up the teacup, if he could facilitate this matter, he shouldn't be able to talk about helping the evildoers.

Shen Nanpeng chuckled, and glanced at the inscription hanging on the wall of Mr. Fang's office.

Tsk, no matter whether Fang can do it or not, at least, this word is really well written.

"Mr. Shen?" After Fang Zhuo finished speaking, seeing that Director Shen did not respond, he thought it was a disagreement.

Shen Nanpeng returned to his senses, and said seriously: "Mr. Fang, I will try my best to persuade AutoNavi. Whether it is capital or strategy, I believe this is a perfect investment."

Fang Zhuo nodded and said, "Very good, my friend."

If the persuasion of AutoNavi's own shareholders does not take effect, then wait for it to go public, and the secondary market will be easier to operate.

He also talked about the issue of sponsors for AutoNavi's listing.

Fang Zhuo has always been a very sincere person. Since he talked about the sponsor Goldman Sachs, he also talked about some grievances bluntly. Goldman Sachs shorted its clients twice before and after.

Shen Nanpeng looked serious. Indeed, fortunately, Mr. Fang plotted against Goldman Sachs' two short positions. Otherwise, Yike would be really dangerous. If Mr. Fang can find a suitable sponsor for Gaode, why not replace Goldman Sachs? Woolen cloth?
The two chatted for a while and reached a consensus.

Lei Jun, who was sitting next to him, hadn't spoken much, and the occasional sounds seemed a little obscure.

Shen Nanpeng noticed this situation, and felt a little strange. He actually talked a lot about Yike's products and things along the way. Why did he come to see the right owner but not communicate?

Taking advantage of Mr. Fang's turning around to pour tea, he touched Mr. Lei with his arm, expressing surprise in his eyes.

Lei Jun knew what Shen Nanpeng meant, and when Mr. Fang was about to add water, he quickly motioned for him to come, and then met that inexplicable scrutinizing look in his eyes, and suddenly wanted to really communicate.

"Mr. Fang, it's very presumptuous of me to come here this time." Lei Jun spoke quickly, "I heard that Mr. Shen was coming to Yike on the plane, and I remembered that Mr. Fang had mentioned the seven development directions in the future, so I couldn't bear it. I can’t help but want to come and have a look, listen to Mr. Fang’s thoughts, and ask Mr. Fang for advice.”

He continued: "I agree with Mr. Fang's words, for a good business, you can see what it will look like in the future."

Fang Zhuo mentioned seven directions at the annual meeting before, consumer electronics, social networking, electronic payment, cloud computing, semiconductors, new energy, artificial intelligence, these are widely circulated.

"Mr. Lei, you're welcome. It's not the first time we've met. The last time we met seemed to be in the capital." Fang Zhuo didn't expect Lei Jun to mention what he had said.

Lei Jun nodded, the last time we met was in Dangdang's office... that time Mr. Fang led someone to kick the door to collect money, Dangdang lost the bet, eh... Where is Dangdang?Dangdang is now gone.

"Mr. Lei worked in Jinshan for a long time and was very successful. Now that he is an investor, is he just looking at the next direction?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Lei Jun nodded this time after a little hesitation. In the past year and a half, he found that investment could not bring him sufficient satisfaction and sense of accomplishment.

Fang Zhuo continued to smile and said, "Then let me guess, Lei is always right..."

He reached out and pointed down at the phone on the table.

Lei Jun was surprised, thinking that Fang was always referring to the e-buy on the 22nd floor downstairs, and nodded again: "Indeed, I am still very interested in e-commerce."

"Cough." Fang Zhuo didn't hide his wrong guess, "Mr. Lei, I thought you were interested in consumer electronics, such as mobile phones."

Lei Jun did not deny it: "I talked about mobile phone products with President Huang of Meizu before, and even visited a part of the supply chain cultivated by Yike in China in detail. Mobile devices will definitely develop very well, but I think I One shot is enough."

"Take a shot?" Fang Zhuo was very strange.

"Well, I am very impressed that Hanwang can make a mobile phone at a price of 1699 yuan. Meizu's 2199 is also good. Android phones will inevitably become popular quickly, and they are already comparable to or even surpassing foreign brands." Lei Jun and Meizu's Huang Zhang has communicated many times, and it is very smooth to talk about this.

"However, I think that Yike has supported the domestic supply chain, has upstream links such as ice core, and has also cooperated with MediaTek. If Yike personally makes entry-level models, it must be able to crowd out many manufacturers who flock to it."

He looked at Mr. Fang with piercing eyes, and asked, "Mr. Fang, will Yike make the entry-level model himself?"

Fang Zhuo murmured, could it be such a mess?
He replied: "I won't do it for the time being. It depends on the development in the future. Our biggest goal now is to stabilize the price of 4000+."

"Stand firmly in the middle and high end, and the middle and low end can be invested and linked. Once the YMS promoted by Yike has a scale, it can be invincible." Lei Jun expressed his opinion.

Anyway, once Yike makes a move, he feels that there are not many domestic manufacturers who can stop it. YMS will have a strong power with hardware, which is difficult to challenge.

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea, um... oh yes, did you just say e-commerce?
"Mr. Lei, are you interested in e-commerce? Do you want to go back to Joyo's model?"

The Joyo.com sold by Lei Jun has been completely merged by Amazon.

"Mr. Fang, there is a discount website in the United States. I think it is very interesting. It is a very low discount that can be traded if a certain number of people can reach it." Lei Jun looked up.

"Groupon." Fang Zhuo was in a complicated mood, group buying, he was talking to Qingzi last time, Qingzi, Qingzi, look at Mr. Lei.

In life, it is not the lack of opportunities for success, but the lack of eyes to discover, look at others! !

Lei Jun nodded immediately: "Yes, Mr. Fang, Groupon, this model is very interesting. I think if it can be developed, it can expand the boundaries of many businesses. Although Mr. Fang did not mention e-commerce, Tesco has done a good job. I always I feel that e-commerce still has great development.”

This is obviously the eighth of Mr. Fang's seven directions.

"Groupon, Groupon, Gaopeng, it is indeed a good direction to present offline business through the Internet. Online To Offline, O2O, this is a blue ocean." Fang Zhuo admitted Lei Jun's opinion.

Lei Jun became joyful: "Mr. Fang, do you think it is possible to do this in China now?"

Fang Zhuo pondered over and over again, Oh, isn't that okay?
In the end, he still had no conscience, and nodded: "Mr. Lei, I think it can be done in China, and it is a track with high achievements. Mr. Lei, your vision is very keen."

Lei Jun suddenly felt relieved, and slowly leaned back. Today, he opened the golden rope and broke the jade lock here. Mr. Fang from the president's office praised him. Only today did he know that I am me.
