Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 314 Trip to Davos

After returning from Japan, he told Qiantu Motor to start negotiations with Mitsubishi, and then went to Switzerland. The winter Davos was about to begin. Honor and Jumei, including Qu Li, had been invited there for several years in a row, as an emerging "multinational giant." Enterprises, Davos is a really good stage, with dignitaries, corporate giants and media from all over the world gathered here.

Of course, it is not free for companies to participate in conferences, and the fees are not cheap. Not only tickets, annual meetings, but also hotel accommodations cost millions at a time. Ma Yun has participated time and time again in the past few years, and she doesn’t know how she can afford it. Did you come down and sleep on the side of the road?

But for Glory, knowledge is a small price. Qu Li came here for the first time without any goal, just to open his eyes and get to know the politicians and entrepreneurs in Europe.Neither Lei Jun nor Lu Qi came. It’s not that they don’t pay attention to this meeting, but that this year’s topics have little to do with Internet technology companies.

Qu Li was widely reported by the media for "predicting" the Greek debt crisis. Sun Jianhe of Vision Investment came to attend the meeting, and Zhang Yiwen was also present. Well, you know...

The domestic court arranged for people to come over, and everyone would brag and chat together. Although it was of little use, it could play a propaganda role and let the world have no shortage of voices from China.

Qu Li did not participate in many activities, but a certain boss he met during the 08 earthquake asked him to chat and learn about the situation, so he missed a lot of time together.

Although the hot topic in January is Avatar, it is entertainment news that the general public cares about. In fact, Qu Li's New Year's Eve speech caused quite a stir in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. "The Three-Body Problem" became a hit overnight. It was hard to find a copy of the book. The publisher rushed to print more copies. Da Liu registered a Weibo account in response to Qu Li's urging for updates. Unfortunately, there is no real-name system and not many people follow it. I don't know if it will happen. Register trumpet your own book.

As for the film and television adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth", Qu Li is not very concerned about it. Taking over this good relationship and having no shortage of money, Liu shouldn't hastily sell the copyright. Why don't you remind him?

The sales of physical books of "The Three-Body Problem" are booming, and many of Qu Li's jokes are widely circulated on the Internet. For example, he found 2+2 equals 22 from YouTube. This video appeared in a program on a certain central channel.

Leaping through the labyrinth of life, reducing dimensionality and attacking, never forgetting the original intention, you will always succeed. Even the big guys in the imperial court know all kinds of ** words. Ilovethreethings’ English short sentences were spread from Zhongguo to Facebook and Twitter, and even the Chinese speeches of him The video has been played a lot indirectly on YouTube.

At this time, almost no one in China doubted Qu Li's talent, and the media in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan no longer said that he was just a lucky upstart. He was an entrepreneur who kept learning and had his own business philosophy.I believe that his "original intention" theory will gradually be accepted by the world as Glory and Jumei grow.

This was no bragging. The big man from the imperial court who was chatting with him mentioned that he would not forget his original intention several times. Fang De always asked Qu Li what dimensionality reduction strikes were.

"A strike on dimensionality reduction can actually be said to be a strike on dimensionality enhancement. For example, I mentioned Nokia many times because this company has better design capabilities and experience than Honor. When I mentioned Nokia many times, I actually hoped that both Nokia and Samsung would develop it. Own operating system, this will take more detours and give Honor two or three more years..."

"I still don't understand, why is it such a detour when developing an operating system?"

"Developing an operating system is easy, but promoting it is very difficult. The application ecosystem is very important, as well as the difficulty of adaptation, user experience, and most importantly, the market. Google is well-known around the world..." Qu Li explained At this time, Google didn’t have many black spots. It had the best corporate culture in the world and was revered by users around the world. It added a lot to the brand of Honor mobile phones. This can be referred to HTC in reality. In just a few years, it became a High-end brands worldwide.

Nokia has a strong foundation and has accumulated a lot of communication patents. This is true, but it has no operating system, no mobile phone chips, and no LCD panel. What is the difference between it and an "assembly factory" like a coarse-grain mobile phone?

Of course, self-research is possible. As long as the smartphone market develops slower, Nokia still has a chance. Unfortunately, telecom operators around the world started investing in 2000G around 3 and have suffered losses for so many years. Now that user data traffic usage is exploding, it is profitable to see If there is a chance, you ask them to wait for Nokia, is it possible?

Honor has successfully established its brand positioning as the most usable Android phone. Even if Nokia joins the Android camp, it will at best be on par with Honor phones. If it really wants to develop everything from the operating system to the chips, then the two most critical aspects of the development of the smartphone industry will be Three years may be delayed, and the advantages of Honor mobile phones will be even more difficult to shake.

"Aren't you going to develop an operating system?" The leader thought Qu Li was talking nonsense. He knew that Zhang Yaqin, who was teaching Zhong Nanhai, had switched jobs to Honor.

"It's different. Honor and Google Android are allies. We will jointly promote Android. Only by defeating Nokia will this market make enough space for Honor and domestic mobile phone brands. Only by continuing to make profits can we continue to invest in chips and systems... …”

Qu Li must have thought about developing a domestic mobile phone operating system now, but there is a practical problem. If he really wants to do this, Honor mobile phones need to re-establish trust overseas.

You can understand it by giving random examples. WeChat cannot use end-to-end encryption, TVs cannot freely install APPs, a certain cloud OS remotely deletes APPs, and Optoelectronics has a policy not to allow screencasting. If you want to implement these functions, will it involve user privacy? information?

Ten years later, Douyin, the most successful domestic Internet company going overseas, does not interoperate domestic and foreign data. Is it because they don’t want to or can’t?Domestic search, information, short video, and novel platforms all require a lot of manual review. Opening overseas data will increase the difficulty of review due to language and cultural issues. How much will the review cost increase?

Can overseas consumers know about these issues involving user privacy?Are there any worries?Will there be various associations?When there are choices in the market and the Honor brand is not influential enough, if you really want to push it hard, failure is almost inevitable.

The boss nodded after hearing this. Qu Li had ideals but was very pragmatic. Unfortunately, he could not meet domestic expectations. He then went on to learn about Shopee's development with Qu Li.

Shopee has always had no shortage of traffic, but the lack of money has limited its development. This time Google invested US$5 million in shares, so there will be no shortage of money in the short term.

"Increasing hardware investment, we will recruit globally, double the number of Shopee employees, improve website information security and network carrying capacity, and then open it to domestic and foreign third-party sellers to increase platform product selection. We previously pursued profits , now scale is the priority..." Qu Li is not worried about Shopee's development in Europe. Like Pinxixi, low price is Shopee's core competitiveness. Even if Amazon expands global shopping, it will not be able to do better than Jumei in the short term. Better, that's the way to go.

"The company's cash flow is very important. If you have any funding issues, you can contact the relevant departments in advance. The China Development Bank has low-interest loans, which are no higher than financing in the U.S. bond market." The boss obviously knows Jumei's long-term U.S. debt issuance financing plan.

Although Qu Li didn't care about this, he didn't refuse. Jumei will make efforts both at home and abroad this year. It's hard to say whether there will be a funding gap.
