Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 394 Before the New Year’s Eve Speech

Qu Li has become the man of the year, and Jumei and Honor must of course promote it well. For a time, overwhelming news appeared on the Internet and in various print media.

Not to mention that 2010 was the peak of public knowledge, even more than ten years later, if a Chinese entrepreneur becomes Time Magazine's Person of the Year, it will be news worth writing about.Many people who don't pay attention to technology and financial news know about Qu Li, know that he founded Jumei and Glory, know that he is the "father of post-modernism", and know that he...

Friends who did not know each other congratulated him one after another. Jumei and Honor had no promotions, and there was a small outbreak, including Qiancheng CS6 being out of stock again.Under the sunshine, all the ghosts and ghosts vanished into thin air. As luck would have it, Qu Li's personal image on the Internet was finally reversed.

Even the Central Financial Channel after the change invited him to record "Dialogue" again. Qu Li did not refuse. Central Financial Channel played a huge role in promoting his early career and he must not forget his roots.But he was about to give a New Year's Eve speech, and he didn't have time. He also had to watch the Super Bowl promotional video.

The glory promotional video was finally finished. Zhang Yimou came forward. Xu Ke had to give him some face. Liu Yifei took a few days apart from filming Dragon Gate Flying Swords to finish filming the commercial. Not to mention, it matched the music of "Sea Shanty Medley" and it was awesome. Beauty is beautiful. In one promotional video, Liu Yifei changed more than a dozen sets of clothes, from student uniforms, professional suits to casual clothes. Several versions were edited, from 15 seconds, 30 seconds to a four- to five-minute MV for a song, all of which are Liu Yifei's personal The clothing and glorious product show, the beauty is picturesque.

This is another time Qu Li intervened in the promotion of Glory. The first two ("Chasing Stars" and "Legend") were not considered failures, but they were not very good in terms of effects.This time "Sea Shanty Medley" should be regarded as a divine comedy, and its communication ability should be very strong. How about getting 10 billion views on YouTube?

"Tianming, what song are you singing this year? Why haven't you prepared it yet?"

"Singing, why do you have to sing?" Qu Li copied everything he could, but he couldn't copy "The Greatest Work". Anyway, he felt quite disappointed and did not leave a deep impression.

Taking the time to fly to Beijin, Qu Li had final communication with several selected capitals to promote Honor to be listed in the United States next year. The reason for going public is not that Honor lacks money, but to bind public interests with personal interests. Save him from the increasing pressure.

If European and American capital owned a majority of Honor's shares, Qu Li would definitely dare to fight Apple and Bridges to the end. Unfortunately, without that, Honor could only rely on its own strength to resist pressure from domestic and foreign countries.

In addition to the consortium of Apollo Global Capital, Deutsche Bank, Temasek, SoftBank and Itochu, there are also domestic CICC, China Merchants, plus Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as underwriters.Sequoia, Hillhouse, DST, and IDG are all useless to Honor. At most, they will give Xiong Ge, Shen Nanpeng and others some favor stocks. This time the financing scale is 1200 million shares, the stock price has risen to 350 US dollars, and the financing is 42 billion US dollars. , Honor’s valuation reached US$567 billion after financing.

If you look at Apple’s market value of US$2 trillion, Honor’s current valuation is naturally underestimated. However, no one except Qu Li can see through the future. Even with his current status, it is serious to say that Apple’s future market value can exceed one trillion US dollars. Trillion dollars, how many people will believe in him?

Referring to the development of global technology companies, the valuation of US$500 billion is seriously overestimated.HTC's market value during the same period in history did not exceed US$350 billion.Why was Naquli able to shout out this price and the capital finally agreed?Because of the rampant liquidity in the money market and the negative interest rate policies implemented by major countries around the world, the future will be a lack of capital for high-quality investment projects, not a lack of funds for good companies.

After competing with each other, Honor received a valuation of US$567 billion.After the price was negotiated and various delivery details needed to be perfected by Lei Jun and Chen Jingqiu, Qu Li, Li Yinan, and Zhang Yaqin naturally stood aside.

The main reason why there is Li Yinan but not Zhang Yaqin in this year's speech is that Kunlun KOS is not good enough. The gap with iOS has not narrowed, but has been widened.

Qu Li is not surprised by this. If Android wants to surpass IOS, there is no other way except to fight for parameters, and it will definitely not be possible in the short term. It seems that Android 4.4 and later versions have become on par with IOS, and now it still needs to accumulate .

Another person Qu Li invited was Dadongzi. Jumei has been fighting fiercely with Dangdang this year. The book business has grown from scratch. In fiscal year 2010, it achieved sales of 5 million, which is indeed far behind Dangdang's 20 billion. However, The Capital Markets Department saw it this way, and the listing plan at the end of that year was cancelled.

Qu Li really doesn’t want to attack Dangdang. Da Qingzi is quite interesting. He likes to brag about his lack of means in business war. When he and his wife were fighting for the company, they thought of a way: steal the official seal, hahaha~~~

The book business is nothing. Jumei has invested the most in the 3C home appliance category. From capital to logistics, it has cooperated with Dadongzi to carry out comprehensive transformation and upgrading. In 2010, it achieved sales revenue of about 200 billion, accounting for nearly [-]% of its self-operated products. Half.

Xu Lei was more unlucky. Juhuasuan's performance was clearly no worse than Jumei's, but Qu Li made some adjustments and Juhuasuan no longer participated in promotional activities. He felt deeply malicious. Even though he would be rotated, he was still in Juhuasuan. How to calculate cost-effective performance?Will the evaluation be lower than that of Dadongzi?

Qu Li personally came forward to comfort Xu Lei. From his experience of ups and downs in Goudong, we can see that this person is very resilient and has great stamina. He should be able to become an excellent CEO. On the contrary, Dadongzi has a lot of drive. He has strong execution ability, is suitable for expanding territory, and has a hard-working spirit. However, he seems to be not good at thinking and has not formed his own business philosophy.

Ma Yun's level is higher than that of Dadongzi, and Ali has many talents. The platform can be upgraded iteratively without much pressure, from Taobao to Tianmao, from Zhongguo Quality to Taobao Xinxuan, and the establishment of Cainiao Network, Tianmao supermarket……

Goudong has never shown Ali's evolutionary capabilities. Goudong only started to develop its own brands in 2018, and Jingzao, which has the most potential, will not become an independent business group until 2021.

Qu Li is confident that with him in Jumei, he will not be worse than Goudong, and Dadongzi will not lack room for performance. However, excellent talents like Xu Lei cannot be ignored, and they must be given more confidence to help them grow.As Time Magazine's "Person of the Year", Qu Li's reputation is growing. He is confident that he can suppress the proud and powerful generals who gather beauty and glory.

As for why Zhang Yujing was invited, it was because SMIC finally settled TSMC, and after paying a compensation of US$2 million to obtain patent authorization, it completely settled the legal dispute between them.

Everything is ready, and the end of 2010 will soon come to an end.
