Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 344 Lei Jun’s heart knot

Wechat is heading towards tens of millions of users, and Instagram has just exceeded one million users. This is inseparable from Chen Danni’s “hard work”. Not everyone can cheat.

"Instagram is a camera application, but it is not just a camera application. Filters are an important function, but they are all for social activities..." Qu Li communicated with team members in Instagram's new office space.

Because of this positioning, Instagram shares watermarked filter photos to Facebook and Twitter to attract users from these two social media.

"We use a small number of pictures and concise language to share a beautiful life, attracting people to appreciate, follow, comment, and forward..."

There is no future as a tool software, so Instagram is the pioneer of picture social networking. Currently, its main users are concentrated in countries and regions with high smartphone penetration rates such as the United States and the European Union.

Other important things about Instagram are information flow, intelligent recommendation algorithms, or growth hacking: using data analysis to drive business growth.Is this a very popular saying in Silicon Valley? It is said to promote rapid growth of enterprises.

Even if Qu Li is cheating, his effect on a strong social product like Instagram is still very limited. He might one day split into two domestic and international versions. This is also the focus of Qu Li’s communication with them. They must have international thinking and more Don’t forget local limitations.

In the following days, Qu Li visited Honor, Guge, Juyun Technology, and Qiancheng Beijin Research Institute to calm people's minds and tell them not to think too much. The company's management is stable and there are currently no problems.

In the final analysis, the company was developing too fast, internal management had not kept up, internal teams were not very familiar with each other, and the market position was not stable, so Qu Li had to treat it with caution.

There is nothing wrong with Honor now. Everything is progressing steadily. The biggest challenge is coming soon. iPhone4 will be released soon. I don’t know what kind of innovations iPhone4 will make with the metal frame design and retina screen released in advance. Comprehensive With the current technological development, dual cameras and fingerprint recognition are not realistic.

It’s not that there is no ability to realize fingerprint recognition now, but the principle of the current scratch-type fingerprint head is that when the fingerprint passes across the sensor, the temperature difference between the ridge and valley of the sensor fingerprint is different, thereby obtaining the fingerprint image.Instead of the later capacitive fingerprint recognition that can be achieved by pressing your finger on it.

Therefore, Honor is developing fingerprint recognition chips in China and strives to realize fingerprint recognition methods such as capacitive and ultrasonic as soon as possible.

"Is there any progress in our chip design?" Qu Li asked in Honor what he was most concerned about. It is foreseeable that the iPhone will definitely launch their self-developed chips.

"The progress is good..." Lei Jun talked about what he knew. In Honor's laboratory in Silicon Valley, Su Ma has formed a team and is developing a high-performance and low-power mobile phone processor to integrate the team. .

Qu Li doesn't understand the more professional content. Anyway, he is very patient and will not rush to launch his own chip products before completing the contract with Qualcomm.The contract signed with Qualcomm at that time specified that it was for smart terminal products using Qualcomm chips, excluding low-priced chips such as WiFi and Bluetooth.But Gpad is within the scope of the contract and may be able to bring more than 1000 million sales to Honor every year. Unfortunately, laptops are not included.

Lei Jun continued to talk about the successful entry of Honor mobile phones into the markets of Russia and South America, which ensured the steady growth of Honor G3 global sales.

"The total sales of Honor mobile phones in April were about 350 million..." Lei Jun said the numbers. Behind these sales are many problems, such as mobile phone pricing. The G2 is still on sale. After the US$499 magic was launched, the basic model was discontinued. , the price of the large-capacity version has dropped to about $450.Mate mobile phones will be launched in June and July, and the price will be set at around US$549. In October, the price of Honor G10 will rise to US$4.

Don’t worry about the iPhone. The price of Honor G3 has increased. iPhone 3GS has already followed suit. The price of iPhone 3G has also been reduced. This time it uses a retina screen and the processing technology has been upgraded again. The bare price of iPhone 4 may rise to US$599.

"With Gpad, our smart terminal sales are close to 500 million..."

There is no way, Gpad sales dropped from 200 million to more than 100 million, iPad sales are even stronger, forcing Honor to cooperate with Amazon to improve the shortcomings in reading. Fortunately, in terms of film and television, YouTube has not been adapted to the iPad for the time being.

"Our goal of selling 500 million terminals a year seems to be easily achievable..." Lei Jun is now full of confidence in realizing the bet with Qualcomm. If the Mate series mobile phones become popular, the sales volume of Honor smart terminals will exceed 1 million in a month. Taiwan, if there is another growth next year, it is likely to exceed [-] million units.

"Qualcomm wants to discuss with us the customization of mobile phone chips..."

"Wait, don't worry, the ARM architecture has not been upgraded..."

"..." What does this have to do with ARM?Lei Jun was speechless. Qu Li's thinking was so fast that he didn't even know what he was thinking, but he was indeed not in a hurry to cooperate with Qualcomm.

After get off work, Lei Jun took Qu Li and several others to drink, and talked about Internet rumors. This time, he focused on Qu Li, but Lei Jun also received a lot of firepower.

How to say?

Lei Jun used to be the CEO of Kingsoft, with an annual revenue of 10 billion SoftMei coins. Now he presides over a large company with a revenue of over [-] billion. He is still a "native" and his English skills are not as good as Qu Li. At the press conference in the United States, Lei Jun said After bumping into each other, he was questioned by Wall Street media. This time, someone quoted reports from overseas media to question Qu Li's choice.

"Why did you choose me?" Lei Jun raised his glass and drank heavily.

What could Qu Li say? He couldn't say that he saw Rebus' ability because of the success of Couliang Mobile.Later, many people on the Internet slandered Couliang mobile phones as assembly machines and inferior to Warwick, saying that Couliang mobile phones like to touch porcelain.

Fortunately, the Internet has memory. When Xiaomi became popular on the Internet, Huawei Honor had just begun. Yu Dazui frequently used porcelain coarse grain mobile phones. Later, Warwick succeeded in self-developed chips, reversed the trend and overtook the situation. Can the right and wrong be reversed?You have to believe that Warwick doesn’t have a navy, haha!

Although OV's blue and green factories are no worse than Couliang mobile phones and are equally excellent, they have been working steadily in the manufacturing industry for many years.Couliang Mobile made many mistakes during his growth, but Lei Jun's perseverance is truly worthy of admiration.

Warwick's advanced technology is the pride of the nation, but their products are not cost-effective. Coarse sells high-quality mobile phones at the price of copycat phones, benefiting more people. This is not only a business choice, but also an entrepreneur's pursuit.

Qu Li has gradually become an inclusive person in Jumei. He wants Honor to become a company like Apple, but he can also clearly see the gap, so that Lei Jun, who is very strong in execution, hard-working and smart, can become the CEO of Honor. , Qu Li is very relieved, after all, he is in control of the general direction, and Glory Jumei rarely makes mistakes.

"Standing at the entrance of a typhoon, even a pig can fly into the sky. You can give the pig like Glory wings to soar into the sky, or you can let this pig take root on the ground and blossom and bear fruit..."

"Haha..." Lei Jun laughed: "Then I have become a magic stick!"

"Your energy is beyond your imagination!" Qu Li said half seriously and half jokingly

"Haha, you are so naive, I thought..." After hearing Qu Li's words, Lei Jun's mood changed inexplicably.

"But do good deeds and don't worry about the future. There are so many obstacles waiting for us to overcome them one by one before glory. You actually still have the heart to grieve the spring and the autumn..." Qu Li sighed endlessly.

"..." Lei Jun was stunned, what did I just say?
