Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 302 Communication and Reporting

After Vice President Li Kaiwen of Google resigned, he founded a startup incubation fund. Google did not arrange for anyone to take over the fund. It seems that the conflict between them and the relevant departments is difficult to reconcile, or perhaps they do not want to add a large number of manual review employees and increase costs.

After seeing the prospect of acquiring Shopee, Google firmly decided to give up its investment in Google and suspended communication with relevant departments, causing a lot of trouble.

Wang Yunliang and others' due diligence on Google's investors has basically come to an end. After all, it is a formal company with strict management, strong financial resources and little debt, so it was easy to sort out the situation.

After Vice Li Kai left, some important executives in the marketing team wanted to leave, but Jumei's intervention temporarily froze resignation applications.Qu Li used to communicate with the core team of Google Zhongguo and try to keep this excellent team as complete as possible.

Fortunately, Qu Li has a good reputation in the domestic Internet industry, especially since he has poached many people from Microsoft and Google. Many people have retained this connection, knowing that Honor's treatment is no worse than that of Google, and Jumei has less cash but less stock. Lots of options.

In this meeting, Qu Li did not make many promises: "You have done a good job. Google Zhongguo must be independently operated. I also hope that after I give you a free hand, I can compete with Baidu, but Google does not provide technology." support……"

"Don't worry, Mr. Qu, even without Google, our search technology will not be worse than Baidu..." Interim person in charge of Google

"Just call me Tianming. Jumei and Glory are free to choose whether to use English names or Chinese characters. My name is Qu Li, also known as Tianming. You can just call me Tianming..."

"Well, I'll call you Tianming, Google Zhongguo..."

After some communication, Qu Li was relieved. They intervened in a timely manner, and most of them did not find a new home. Google did not want to give up all its business and wanted to retain the Google Zhongguo Research Institute, but Qu Li would definitely not agree. No one has skills, how can he compete with whiteness?These things will be discussed later. Anyway, it's not him or Jumei who is anxious.

Qu Li made an appointment to meet with the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. As the head of one of the few technology companies in the country, it was relatively easy to meet with the leaders of the competent departments.

"We are negotiating to acquire shares from Google and hope that the relevant departments can suspend their investigation..." Qu Li went straight to the point. Anyway, he had no personal relationship and it was business.

"Ahem! What did you say?"

"Jumei is preparing to acquire Google Zhongguo and has reached a preliminary agreement with them."

"You..." The leader was a little unbelievable.

"It's not a complete acquisition of Google. They will take back the Google domain name and brand." Qu Li explained, finally calming down the leader.

After all, Jumei is not an ordinary company. It is impossible for Xiangyun to go public without being taken care of. Qu Li contacted the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in Beijin, and Lu Qi and Chen Danlin contacted the leaders who cared about and cared for them in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province.

Jumei wanted to acquire Google Zhongguo, and the senior leader of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology happened to be free and came over to learn about the situation. Seeing that there were not many people, Qu Li talked about the details of the transaction.After all, this is a matter of time. Without approval from relevant departments, it will be difficult for their transaction to be completed.

"You have finally established a foothold in the country. Is it appropriate to sell now?" The big leader frowned. The country has high hopes for Qu Li. Glory is not enough. Jumei's achievements in e-commerce retail are very outstanding.

"But we are short of money, and we are even more short of people..." Qu Li explained the various considerations during their internal discussions: "The acquisition of Google Zhongguo can shorten the time for Jumei to go from good to great."

"In the eyes of outsiders, Jumei is still an excellent e-commerce retail company, but I think it is just a mediocre company. We are just an advancement of a business model. Without Jumei, there would still be Taobao, Baidu, and Penguin." As long as companies are willing to spend money, it is now possible to replicate our success.

I want Jumei to become a company comparable to Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.

Google wants to acquire Shopee just to deal with the challenge from Amazon. We are actually already one step behind Amazon. If we don’t catch up, it will be too late. "

The top leader of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology became even more curious: "Since we want to surpass Amazon, we shouldn't give up on Shopee."

"As long as you have money, you can do e-commerce retail at any time. What I'm talking about is cloud computing. Amazon's cloud computing is the world's leading. Our Juyun technology can only be compared with Microsoft and Google. We can only say that each has its own advantages. "Qu Li was a little helpless.

“Is cloud computing so important?”

"Cloud computing can become the water, electricity and gas of the Internet era, or a distributed supercomputing center. More importantly, if this industry grows, Microsoft and Intel will become less important. We can develop our own chips, and There is no need to consider software ecological issues..."

What Qu Li said is not bragging. Amazon AWS and Ali Cloud are developing their own chips, Warwick also has cloud computers, and Google has browser-based ChromeBooks. If Microsoft Windows really wants to impose mandatory fees on ordinary users, it will most likely be eliminated. , it’s not that Windows is not easy to use, but the value of their existence has been reduced. Later, when the domestically produced Unicom OS came out, it actually charged ordinary users, which was either a scam or an inflated price.

It was Qu Li who was bragging, but in terms of professional skills, Lu Qi and Lin Bing were of course more powerful. After hearing this, the senior leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology knew that Qu Li had made the decision and that he was not a businessman. It was difficult to question Qu Li's choice. Is it correct? Although it is a pity to give up Shopee, it will not prevent Jumei from acquiring Google Zhongguo.

After Qu Li finished talking about Jumei, he also talked about PCCW.

"Is this about you?"

"Of course, I might join PCCW's board of directors."

"You really have boundless energy." I don't know if the leader's words are praise or criticism.

"The internationalization of Jumei Cloud Computing requires such a company, or Xiangjiang is an important springboard for us. Shopee has entered the North American and EU markets, and Japan may also be included, but Southeast Asia and Kimchi Country are not among them..." Qu Li

"Did you kid have already planned it?" The big leader smiled.

"It really doesn't matter. It was Vision Investment and Charlie Li who both took a fancy to the asset management company under AIG. Vision Investment had already won it, but Charlie Li really wanted it, so they gave him a dilemma. Unexpectedly, he... ..." Qu Li said, is this not false?

"As long as you know what's going on, the country still wants you to go out."

"Glory is a miracle. Shopee's success is difficult to replicate. I can't find the next Facebook. Jumei doesn't need to gamble. We will develop step by step after achieving profitability. In ten or twenty years, we can always open up the international market..." Qu Li Ke will not forget about it just because of a word from his leader, nor will he become international for the sake of internationalization.

"Having confidence is a good thing..." The big leader left without making any special explanation.

It doesn't matter to Qu Li. Jumei is a company listed in the United States. It can avoid a lot of troubles and just follow the formal procedures.
