I am farming in the real world

Chapter 213: A Heaven-Defying Strategic Cooperation Method!

“It’s actually Xiaomi’s ecosystem?”

Lei Bu Si was also stunned upon hearing this.

He thought about the information he knew about the Magic Cube Group, knowing that it was a local unicorn that had suddenly risen to prominence.

Not only did they act with extraordinary generosity, but their business also leaned towards real industries in the fields of construction and machinery.

He never expected that what Chen Jue wanted would actually be Xiaomi's ecosystem.

However, when he thought about the rise of the Magic Cube Group, Lei Bu Si immediately understood Chen Jue's needs.

After all, no matter how rich a company is, there will be fields that it cannot reach.

For example, those Middle Eastern tycoons who wear headscarves and find it easier to dig for oil than for fresh water. When it comes to wealth and extravagance, no one can compare with them at present.

However, that desert land will never produce technology-based enterprises like Apple, Google, or Huawei.

It's not just an environmental issue, but also their own positioning and foundation.

Taking Chen Jue himself as an example, he relied on the MC cheat to rise rapidly. However, his involvement in the field of internet intelligent ecosystems is as thin as a blank sheet of paper.

Because if you want to get involved in the new energy vehicle field, in addition to batteries and electric motors, the vehicle system is always an unavoidable threshold.

In addition, a good ecosystem will also greatly help the internal operating efficiency of the enterprise.

The Ding Ding APP launched by Alibaba is not just for students to take online classes; its original intention was to simplify the internal office processes of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises.

There is also Oracle, a world's top 500 company ranked 80th, which is not well-known in China but very famous abroad. It also relies on a database software supplier business targeting enterprise services to generate more than 50 billion US dollars in revenue each year.

Why don't those large companies that purchase Oracle services develop their own ecosystems?

It's still a matter of specialization!

If you want to build your own independent and autonomous ecosystem, you need a large number of professional engineers, as well as a long period of funding and time.

Chen Jue doesn't lack money now, what he lacks is development time.

“Why doesn’t President Chen look for Ju Factory’s Hongmeng ecosystem, but instead takes a fancy to our Xiaomi’s Pengpai OS?” Lei Bu Si asked curiously.

After all, Xiaomi's MIUI system was initially built on Google's Android open source code, which is a deeply optimized Android skin operating system.

In terms of fame, Xiaomi's MIUI system is far inferior to Ju Factory's Hongmeng.

It was only in recent years that a group of domestic smart hardware manufacturers gritted their teeth and tried their best to develop their own system architectures and get rid of the shackles of Android.

Lei Bu Si also transformed Xiaomi from a pure mobile phone manufacturer, step by step into the 'Man-Vehicle-Home' Internet of Everything ecosystem business, allowing his team to develop the current independent architecture Pengpai OS based on the Linux kernel, Vela system, and real-time embedded NuttX real-time operating system.

From this, Xiaomi truly got rid of Google's Android bottleneck and embarked on its own independent way of survival.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue wants to join Xiaomi's Pengpai OS ecosystem.

In addition to the most important point that he can't do it himself, there is another purpose, which is to use Xiaomi's mature marketing system to help the Magic Cube Group.

After all, when it comes to marketing ability, one can count one in China, what Yu Da Zui, Jia Boss, are not worthy of carrying shoes in front of Lei Bu Si.

So after chatting for a while, Chen Jue explained with a strange expression: “Ju Factory is too strong and too aggressive in some aspects, which is not to the taste of our Magic Cube Group. I don’t want Magic Cube Motors to follow a path similar to Seres in the future.”

As soon as these words came out, the two straightforward boys with different thoughts smiled at each other.

… …

Chen Jue and Lei Bu Si ate this meal for a full 3 hours.

During this period, in addition to discussing the cooperation model between Magic Cube Group and Xiaomi Group, Chen Jue also introduced his current products that require operating systems.

In addition to the various models of Magic Cube Motors that are about to be launched, Magic Cube robotic arms, Magic Cube yachts, and Magic Cube Starlink that may be involved in the future.

Chen Jue plans to embed Xiaomi's Pengpai OS for targeted development.

When he learned that Chen Jue planned to invest in Starlink satellites similar to SpaceX, Lei Bu Si was also taken aback!

As a senior imitator of Jobs, Lei Bu Si's product positioning for Xiaomi was initially aimed at benchmarking Apple, and he naturally paid close attention to high-tech technologies in the United States.

Like Starlink, the only ones in China who are qualified, have the technology, and have the ability to play with it, besides Huawei, are Lei Bu Si alone.

They have 150 billion in cash in their hands, and a team of more than 30,000 senior software and hardware technology engineers to support them, which makes them more suitable for Starlink satellites than Chen Jue in terms of innate conditions.

It's just that Starlink burns a lot of money, and the domestic private rocket technology is not mature. Once you bet on it, it is easy to lose everything, so this idea has always been buried in Lei Bu Si's heart.

Now that Chen Jue has brought it up again, Lei Bu Si has naturally become quite interested.

As for how the two large groups should cooperate, Chen Jue also gave Lei Bu Si a very perfect plan.

At first, Lei Bu Si proposed to carry out 'cross-shareholding', with Magic Cube Group and Xiaomi Company holding each other's shares and announcing a strategic cooperation.

This way, he can also easily go back to convince the board of directors to include Magic Cube Group's product line into the Pengpai OS ecosystem.

Xiaomi is a listed company after all, with internal factions and mountain tops standing in great numbers. Many things are not decided by Lei Bu Si alone, and it takes time to convince the team.

Therefore, after listening to this plan, Chen Jue pondered for a moment.

He has always been decisive in his work and doesn't like such procrastination.

So, in front of Lei Bu Si, Chen Jue made an international call: “Old Shang, do we still have 25 billion left in our capital account? Go to Hong Kong stocks and sweep up 1 billion shares of Xiaomi stock, and act quickly! I have immediate use for it now!”

You need to know that Xiaomi Group HK01810 has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for many years, with a total circulating share capital of 24.963 billion shares. The daily transaction volume is maintained at around 5 billion, and the stock price has recently been stable at around 22 yuan.

Chen Jue's no-cost operation raised Xiaomi's stock price to 28 yuan that day.

The intraday stock price soared by 30%, which also allowed Xiaomi's entire market value to expand from the original 500 billion to more than 700 billion in one breath.

It even pushed up Lei Bu Si's net worth by 30%.

Such a sincere operation directly made Lei Bu Si, who was used to seeing big storms, twitch his eyelids and shouted in his heart: "Damn! He got it! 1 billion shares? He just bought it?”

Now, who in China's capital doesn't know that a weird investment guy has emerged in Wenshi, and has successively entered and held shares in two large A-share listed companies.

I never expected that this 'weird guy' would actually move this set of operations to the Hong Kong stock blue-chip head like Xiaomi Group.

Of course, after taking down this circulating 1 billion shares, Chen Jue also transformed himself into a large individual shareholder of Xiaomi Group holding 3.3%, second only to Lei Bu Si and Lin Bin, the two founders of Xiaomi, in terms of shareholding.

With this relationship of wearing the same pants, Lei Bu Si naturally had no great resistance to going back to convince the board of directors.

“President Lei, I hope to join hands with Xiaomi to establish a third-party joint venture company with this 3.3% share of Xiaomi Group as a stepping stone. The right to use Pengpai OS will be handed over to this company for authorization management at that time. How about you and I each accounting for 50% in terms of personnel arrangements?” Chen Jue showed off the stock account screenshot sent by Old Shang.

After seeing the sky-high stock account numbers on the screen, Lei Bu Si also looked emotional.

If Chen Jue hadn't directly informed the other party of the purpose of sweeping up the stock in person, Lei Bu Si would have even thought that someone wanted to snipe his Xiaomi in the stock market with such an amazing buying order.

Thinking again about the capital strength shown by Chen Jue, as well as the mechanical quality of that Zotye ZT700, Lei Bu Si simply shook hands with Chen Jue solemnly after pondering for a moment and said: “Thank you for President Chen's trust and support! From now on, we are brothers in the same trench!”
