Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 359 Confrontation between the Richest Man

The more you communicate with people, the more you reveal, and the easier it is for others to see clearly what kind of person you are. Qu Li is not a genius, he is somewhat shallow.Just like Steve Jobs, Qu Li had always admired this man for his ideas and courage through news reports, but he actually saw his public speech at Zhongguo Green Company and his answers.From then on, he could only say that he admired Leshi's PPT copywriting for being of the highest level.

After communicating with Qu Li, many American business leaders thought he was just mediocre. However, Qu Li's asymmetric risks and the idea of ​​the impossible triangle of e-commerce retail had already spread to the United States. Many people knew about it and couldn't say anything about it. Don’t you have your own thoughts?

The meeting with Bezos was not as tense as the meeting with Cook. Neither of them had an engineering background, but both had financial backgrounds. Both were engaged in Internet e-commerce and both had great ideas.Bezos emphasized the flywheel effect at Amazon, while Qu Li summarized the three elements of product, price and service. It seems difficult to distinguish between them.

Of course, it is Qu Li's personal idea to distinguish between superior and inferior. The outside world recognizes Bezos more. Amazon is the most successful company that adheres to long-termism. Oh, it may not be counted now. The Amazon cloud service AWS industry has not yet been recognized by Wall Street.

Amazon launched its cross-border e-commerce business this year, and Shopee followed closely behind, taking cross-border e-commerce as its core competitiveness and officially competing with Amazon with the support of Google Shopping.Pay attention to products and prices, and do not compete with Amazon in terms of logistics, distribution and after-sales service experience.If the bargaining fails, then reduce the weight of the product and implement price priority.

The failure of Pin Xixi Godfather's price war inspired Qu Li a lot. What's wrong with different markets? Doesn't Gui Lao like low prices? It's impossible.

Joyo Amazon is unknown in the domestic market and has never participated in 6*18 and Double 11. But Quli, a junior high school student, dared to start internationalization not long after the establishment of the company and actually succeeded. Bezos said he doesn't care about many competitors like Shopee. It's nonsense.

The reason given by the outside world for Google not acquiring Shopee but cooperating with Jumei is quite reliable: Shopee’s biggest advantage is its supply chain from the world’s factory.Google has the largest traffic in the world, and Shopee’s traffic from Facebook is nothing. The key is the supply chain. Jumei can select high-quality and low-price products from an unlimited number of products and sell them to the United States.

Jumei emphasized this point in its financial report and letter to shareholders: Jumei is a technology and service company based on the supply chain.

Xiangyun’s success has not only attracted domestic entrepreneurs to build e-commerce brands, but also attracted many European and American entrepreneurs to cooperate with Amazon, eBay and Shopee, including FB. It is said that Zuckerberg has repeatedly wanted to set up FB stores to support e-commerce. brand.

Jumei is considered by the outside world to be the company with the most advantages. It is not only self-operated, but also able to build a brand. This kind of innovation ability can only be found among entrepreneurs in the world's factories.

Obviously a model is successful, and outsiders always look for reasons. Wall Street does not believe that middle school students in Zhongguo are better than them. It must be cheating.

"I will increase investment in the Chinese market." Bezos said

Qu Li was very curious. Bezos clearly knew that the Chinese market was very important and that there were problems with their management model in China, but he was unwilling to increase investment and fully authorize the company, so that Amazon gradually lost its voice in the domestic market.

It's a pity that it's hard to get an answer to his curiosity from Bezos. He couldn't have foreseen the possible "war" between the two countries very early and cut his losses in advance, right?

Qu Li doesn't care. Although the two companies are both Internet e-commerce companies, their internal driving logic is fundamentally different. Even if they reach the same goal in the end, the way the teams do things will be fundamentally different.

Whether product, price and service are the three elements of e-commerce retail, no one can give him the answer. He can only prove it himself.

There are too many big shots in Sun Valley. Watching Qu Li chatting with everyone without any stage fright, Chen Danlin did not embarrass him and remained magnanimous without any stage fright.Even when he met Murdoch's Chinese wife, he was always talking and laughing.

Murdoch was very curious about Qu Li, a Chinese-American boy. News Corporation owns MySpace and later invested in Hulu. It can be said that he is one of the few big bosses in traditional companies who actively invests in the Internet. This very old rich man has been full of enthusiasm all his life. legend.However, a businessman is a businessman. He used to kneel down and lick his wife, but when he didn't get it, he turned his back and became ruthless.Zuckerberg learned the essence of Murdoch...

Although Qu Li will not forgive them, it is understandable that Khenli paid for his dignity. As an industry leader, he must have spent money and time, and in the end he lost money. Just like Yindu banned Zhongguo APP, the Chinese people were filled with indignation after seeing it.

Since they are not friends, then business is business. Qu Li, Zuckerberg, and Murdoch will not have too many personal relationships, even if Jumei needs Facebook and Honor needs the help of the media group.

In Sun Valley, Qu Li and Microsoft's Ballmer met again, and this time they determined the basis for cooperation, including a unified core mobile operating system that can use two UIs, namely Microsoft's Metro tile style and iOS , the desktop used by Android.

Many people say that the Metro tile type is more advanced and better-looking, but Android and IOS can effectively reduce the user threshold and learning cost, just like WeChat voice. It is said that the lower the education level, the higher the frequency of use...

"Metro is great, but Honor phones cannot be sold only to highly educated elites..." Qu Li insisted that Honor phones maintain consistency and continuity in the UI.

I don’t know if it was because of Nokia’s rejection of Microsoft, but Ballmer readily agreed to Qu Li’s conditions. Of course, the premise is that Windows Phone requires a licensing fee. On this basis, Microsoft will return it to Honor through subsidies, and in addition reduce the Android patent licensing fees and limit the upper limit.

The specific details need to be improved by others. Qu Li doesn't like this blushing and thick-necked Microsoft CEO. Microsoft really didn't develop during his tenure. Instead, it fell into a dilemma until it was "refreshed" by Nadella.

But in order to cooperate, the two talked a lot, such as basketball and the NBA.

It was just a casual chat. Ballmer talked about his love for the NBA and his desire to buy the Lakers. Qu Li talked about his love for Kobe and wished him all the best.

Unexpectedly, before the Sun Valley Summit ended, he would soon have an intersection with the NBA.A venture capitalist named Joe Lacob wanted to acquire the Golden State Warriors. He originally funded the acquisition together with Peter Guber, the chairman of Mandalay Entertainment Group, but an accident happened and Guber regretted it.The founder of Oracle also wanted to acquire the Warriors and was about to make an offer. Joe Lacob, who was short of funds, was looking for people everywhere, and finally contacted Sun Jianhe of Vision Investment, and then met Qu Li...

"Okay, I agreed!" When Joe Lacob's mouth was dry when he heard the words Qu Li, which were like sounds of nature, he immediately came back to life full of energy.
