Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 312 Glory Planning

Although Qu Li created a lot of popularity in China, the biggest news in January 2010 was probably the alien creature Avatar, which swept the global box office.While giving domestic audiences a huge visual experience, it also dealt a huge blow to practitioners in the film and television industry.

It is not without benefits. Cinemas with IMAX theaters, such as the cinemas cooperating with Xiangjiang Fortune and Xiaoma, and Kuxun Movie Tickets. Scarce movie tickets can be bought at low prices through the Internet. In 2010, Kuxun finally started to improve.

Among the three major business departments of Jumei, e-commerce retail is of course the most important, followed closely by Sousu and cloud computing after the acquisition of Guge, and finally the innovative business department, including WeChat in charge of Huang Zheng, Instagram in charge of Chen Danni, and finally Zhang Haiju in charge Cool news.

Qu Li is nominally directly responsible for the innovation business department, but in fact CFO Wang Yunliang helps him keep an eye on it. After Jumei acquired Kuxun, it narrowed its business scope and focused on travel and accommodation based on search and price comparisons, and expanded movie tickets. business.

It may be that time is short, and the current business has not improved. Before Avatar was released, Qu Li asked Kuxun to underwrite a part of the movie tickets for "Avatar", mainly in 3D and IMAX theaters, so he enjoyed a very big bonus this time .

After purchasing the tickets from Kuxun, Qu Li rewatched "Avatar". The whole process was smooth. Unfortunately, he couldn't select seats online, which required data exchange with the cinema ticket purchase system.

"What are your plans for this year?" Qu Li took the time to find Zhang Haiju to understand the situation. After all, there is no time to ask about Kuxun's business throughout the year.

“This year I am going to launch the online ticket purchasing function for train tickets…”

"The railway department can buy tickets online. It's impossible, right? They have the technology?"

"No, we cooperate with outlets that are qualified to sell train tickets. Consumers pay the train fare plus express fee and 5 yuan service fee to have the train tickets delivered to consumers within a limited time... "

"Oh!"

"The cooperation between Ali Baba and Jiujiupiao adopts this method."

"What else?" Qu Li did not comment.

"I want to do group shopping."

"Group buy?"

"It's not Juhuasuan's physical group buying, it's lifestyle group buying, mainly in catering stores. There is a lifestyle group buying website in the United States called Groupon, which has a very high gross profit."

Qu Li knows that life group buying is a seemingly beautiful business.

“What about hotel accommodation and travel?”

"Of course these two businesses are very important..." Zhang Haiju said about his thoughts

Qu Li was noncommittal after hearing this, and returned to Glory to discuss the game engine with Lei Jun, Li Yinan, Zhang Yaqin and others.

"In the long term, this game engine is for autonomous driving, using road data to generate game screens in real time..."

"Since it's not realistic in the short term, let's do something more realistic and provide the game development team with a multi-platform universal 3D game engine..."

“When a game developer’s income is less than 5 US dollars, we will provide it for free. If the income exceeds [-] US dollars, we will charge a [-]% revenue share...”

Qu Li creatively created a free value-added model for Honor's future game engine. It can be said that it is not only for Honor mobile phone and tablet services, but also a good technical reserve for autonomous driving. No one objected. Zhang Yaqin saw Qu Li's work for the first time. The imagination is free.

There are many excellent game engine development teams abroad. Qu Li prefers to cultivate them himself, but he does not exclude acquisitions. He can acquire them first, then cultivate them, and then master independent development technology.

This is of course not the only topic that Qu Li talked with them. The most important functions of a smartphone are games, videos, music, and photography. Game performance depends on the efficiency of the processor, but photography and music are different. Algorithms are very important. The ability to appreciate art is very important, so Qu Li proposed to acquire beats. Their headphone tuning is very unique, and then provide consumers with their own streaming services in Europe and the United States.

However, it did not receive support this time because beats cooperated with Monster. In this case, it is better to directly cooperate with professional acoustic giants such as Monster to bring the sound quality of Honor mobile phones to a higher level.

It is Lei Jun's choice to cooperate with more professional institutions to improve Honor's image and sound processing capabilities. Qu Li thinks it is acceptable, but streaming music and videos, as well as the reading function of tablets, should they be combined with media Cooperate with magazines to launch e-books and newspaper and magazine applications?

Qu Li thinks he can invest in some streaming music and video websites, such as Netflix and Spotify. One is a long-form video streaming company that started out as a DVD rental company, and the other is streaming music.

There was a similar plan as early as last year, but Honor Gpad was not launched, and everyone lacked confidence. Now it is better. After the iPad was launched, although Gpad was greatly affected, there is indeed a market for tablets, and Honor is really not short of money now.

A wide range of games, movies, and music have greatly promoted the sales of smartphones. However, in Qu Li’s vision, apart from the usefulness of game engines, investing in Netflix and Spotify is actually not of much use. At most, it can make some money. money.

It’s not that Qu Li is not doing his job properly. When Qu Li invested his personal capital, Netflix’s market value was about 15 billion. Now it is less than 30 billion US dollars. It will exceed 3000 billion US dollars in the future. The market value has increased by 100 times. How can the stock price increase by 70 or [-] times? ?How many companies in this world can have their stocks increase [-] times in ten years?

At the end of the discussion, only the game engine plan was successfully passed. Qu Li was somewhat regretful, but he asked them to keep an eye on Wei Zhi to see if their team was good, whether they could make advanced assisted driving, and whether Waze Map could become an Honor phone. Preloaded maps.

"If they can't, we will form a team ourselves. Anyway, this industry has just begun to show some signs. Whether it is investing or acquiring Israel's Mobileye, a chip design company that pioneered the autonomous driving industry, it is not difficult for us." Qu. Li and the others continue to discuss the future of Glory

Zhang Yaqin sat aside and observed that their team was very interesting. Although Qu Li had a self-study undergraduate diploma, he was a well-known "junior high school student" in the country. He and Li Yinan were both called geniuses, and Lei Jun was a "model worker."Now, a "junior high school student" is leading them to dream of climbing high-tech, which is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

Qu Li didn't know what they were thinking, and continued to outline the future: "Mobile phones, tablets, and computers, we have built our product matrix around consumers' life and entertainment work, and the products will naturally spread to smart wearables, earphones, and speakers." and TV…”

"I want a wearable device that can monitor body data in real time, such as doing an electrocardiogram on myself, and can also make calls and send text messages to view map navigation. Is the best choice for combining these functions a watch?"

Glory has become the climate, and Qu Li can finally fully unleash his imagination and build this company into a black technology empire.
