Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 309 2010 New Year’s Eve Speech ([-])

Qu Li recommended Da Liu's "The Three-Body Problem" to everyone during the live broadcast of his New Year's Eve speech, and urged the update online, and issued a threat: "It's been two years, if you don't write the third part, I will send a razor blade to your home. .”

In the past two years since the rise of iPhone and Honor, Nokia's sales have far exceeded the sum of the two. Qu Li said before that Nokia was dead, but no one believed it. But this time is different. Qu Li even predicted the European debt crisis. Nokia Is it really impossible?

We can tell one thing or two from the stock price. Nokia's market value has fallen by 2007% from its high point in 70. You must know that the smartphone industry is developing rapidly. Apple's market value has more than tripled since the release of the iPhone, and Honor G3 and Gpad have been launched. After selling like hotcakes, I believe no one will doubt whether Honor is worth US$100 billion.

Sales volume does not mean everything. iPhone and Honor are both called the twin stars of the smartphone industry by European and American media. The impact is still quite large. Market recognition has increased, and some core suppliers, such as Samsung, are unhappy.

Honor Maigic 1 uses a SuperAMOLED screen, but they could not guarantee the supply, which caused Honor to postpone the product release and directly placed a large order of 1000 million units. Only then did they sign a contract that was highly binding on both parties: Samsung could not supply on time and in quantity. You will lose money if you purchase goods, and Honor will also lose money if the purchase volume is lower than a certain standard within a certain period of time.

Don’t think this is unbelievable. Apple and Samsung Display signed a similar contract. In the end, Apple paid Samsung US$9.5 million in compensation for insufficient purchase volume.HTC also used Samsung SuperAMOLED screens in 2010, but supply was cut off after they became popular.

For Glory to sign such a contract, Qu Li could only nod, but even Lei Jun did not have the courage.

Of course, with all the details behind the scenes, Qu Li and Lei Jun would not say in their New Year's Eve speeches that it was Caixin Hu Shuli's turn and Qu Li would go down to drink water and rest.

If there was not much useful information at the beginning, by the time 2+2 equals 22, it was already full of useful information. Answering personal questions was also full of sincerity.Hu Shuli praised a few words, saying that Honor and Jumei were atypical Chinese-owned enterprises.Unfortunately, there was no explanation as to why she left the financial magazine.

Soon her speech ended and it was time for questions again: "I actually have a lot of questions to ask, but until now I haven't heard Qu Li tell the story behind Jumei's acquisition of Google Zhongguo. It's a bit regretful. Why did Google just Google Zhongguo was sold to Jumei, what other cooperation does Jumei have with Google?"

Qu Li slowly walked onto the stage, played a few words to each other without speaking in a hurry, stood on the stage with his eyes closed and thought for a while, then said to the bottom: "Get the music ready."

“I don’t know why Google wants to sell Google Zhongguo. Before the release of Honor G3 in the United States, Schmidt told me about this matter. Jumei had no plans to do search before. In such a short period of time, To make such a decision within a short period of time, to be honest, I have been under unprecedented pressure until now."

"So after we signed a preliminary agreement with Google, because of too much pressure, many of us went skiing and spent a few days: looking at the vastness inside and outside the Great Wall, and the river up and down, suddenly it stopped flowing. Ahem, I was a little touched at that time , wrote a song and sang it to everyone." Qu Li's mood rose, and at his signal, the subtitles were displayed and background music played.

"I roared like a dragon and soared my ambitions

Hot-blooded young man rises up

Look at the world inside and outside the Great Wall

Mountains, rivers and clouds smile

……

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are all in the painting

The Rise of Jinshi Inscribed in the Prosperous Age

The spring and autumn bamboo slips turned yellow and entered the mud..."

An adaptation of "Snow Dragon Song", without the Winter Olympics elements, was sung by Qu Li in a majestic way.

"Bah bang bang~~" applause rang out from the scene

"Thank you. After singing, I feel a lot younger and have more courage to face difficulties. Let's answer the previous questions."

"As I said before, because of the Honor mobile phone launch conference, we came to the United States in advance to meet and chat with Google CEO Schmidt, and then Jumei acquired Google Zhongguo. As of December 12, it took less than 15 days. How many days did it take in the meantime? After many twists and turns, we were once torn between Google Zhongguo and Shopee.”

"Let's talk about Google first. They may have wanted to do e-commerce at first. After understanding the e-commerce business in depth, they changed their minds and decided to do shopping search..."

"The logic behind this is that the growth rate of e-commerce advertising may exceed that of search engine keyword advertising. Amazon accounts for about 20% of the North American e-commerce retail market. As they improve their logistics and express delivery network in North America, their advantages will It is becoming more and more obvious that in the future, consumers in North America will think of Amazon when shopping, just like domestic consumers will think of Jumei, Juhuasuan and Taobao when shopping..."

"Google Shopping wants to compete with e-commerce websites for consumer recognition. This is a right path, but no one knows whether it can succeed. Shopee will help Google try to take this path in markets other than China. Only then will it That’s where I hesitate the most.”

"There is another reason. Ahri acquired Yahoo Zhongguo. I won't comment on this."

"The biggest reason why Jumei acquired Google Zhongguo is that they have an excellent team of 700 people, which can greatly supplement Jumei's talent gap. Secondly, with the expansion of Internet users and the e-commerce market, the commercial value has become more prominent, and the search engine The market will become e-commerce, the third largest market in the Internet industry after games..."

"Jumei's corporate culture is not as strong and exclusive as Ali's. We are more inclusive, and Google's success rate will be higher..."

"This is probably all my thinking about Jumei's acquisition of Google Zhongguo. There is no mysterious idea. I am optimistic about this market and believe in the power of the team."

"I have been very anxious during this period. I have lost 10 pounds in just two months. I have always been inexplicably worried. After Jumei acquired Google China, it will still be the company I defined before that is based on supply chain-based technology and technology. A service company? Do we still want to stick to this positioning?"

"Here I give myself and my colleagues at Jumei a clear answer. Jumei's positioning will not change. We are still a technology and service company based on the supply chain."

"Jumei's business is divided into three major parts. The first is e-commerce retail, the second is search and cloud services, and the third is innovative business..."

"Why should we insist on being based on the supply chain? We have discussed this issue a long time ago, but it is just that: portals, search engines, online games, social networks, video websites, and the Internet industry are constantly changing. I will appear on the stage after you sing, and Teacher Ma makes it easy to do business in the world, and Bezos's flywheel effect. These have all confused me." Qu Li got more and more excited as he talked, and he got to the point:

“However, we must not forget our original intention: we can peel away the appearance of things layer by layer, see the essence inside, recognize the underlying logic and basic laws of market operation, and then proceed from this essential core and proceed layer by layer. Go up and let every step you take thereafter be related to the original core (or original intention).”

"There is no essential difference between e-commerce and traditional retail industries. Competition in the end always revolves around: products, prices and services. Different choices will achieve different enterprises. Improving the efficiency of supply chain management can effectively reduce costs, or the same The quality of our products will be better, and then the service level will be improved through technological advancement..."

"Search and cloud computing are Jumei's technologies and services. There is an upper limit to Jumei's efficiency improvement. We will eventually serve the vast majority of traditional manufacturing industries. This is a matter for the future. We will not expand too much now. …”

The four-hour New Year's Eve speech is coming to an end. It is mainly about matters related to Jumei and Glory. It is not friendly to most ordinary people, but who makes Qu Li a big boss? He can't give a talk show, right?

"To sum up, the best choice for ordinary people to start a business is e-commerce retail. Those with technology, capital, and entrepreneurial experience can choose mobile Internet. Think about it, the smartphone industry is developing so fast, and there are so few mobile applications and mobile games. This is What an opportunity!

Of course, a very good team can directly make smartphones. In 10 years, half of the top ten smartphone brands in the world may be Chinese brands..."

As the bell of 2010 rang, the New Year's Eve speech came to an end. Qu Li was about to end his speech. He looked at the card in his hand: "Oh, I almost forgot, I want to share an English sentence with you: I love three things in this world. Sun, moon and you .Sunforming, moonfornight, andyouforever.”

"This seems to be a sentence I found when I was browsing a forum. I thought it was quite interesting. I have always wanted to translate it into Chinese, but I couldn't find a suitable sentence. I have been inspired recently. Can you please help me to translate it well?"

Qu Li only felt his ears burning, and resisted looking at anyone, and slowly said: "There are three thousand things in this world, and I have three loves. The sun, the moon, and you. The sun is morning, the moon is evening, and you are morning, evening, and evening." (This sentence really does not come from Tagore, nor does it come from The Twilight Zone. It most likely comes from an unknown Internet god)
