Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 422 Rush of buying

Qu Li and Lu Qi got to know each other in Jumei and began to plan the "China Intelligent Logistics Backbone Network". Such a big plan must have partners. GLP's professional capabilities are trustworthy, so why not win over SF Express and Sitong Yida? Woolen cloth?

Of course, the first thing Jumei needs to do is not to build Jumei’s version of the “Rookie Network” but to acquire Shopify. They conducted a Series A round of financing in December last year, with approximately US$12 million, and the platform’s annual sales are only 700 million. It is about US$1 million, and the premium acquisition should not cost more than US$[-] million.

As for whether it can be acquired, there is no way to verify it. Just assume that the protagonist has talents and magical powers and all his wishes come true. In fact, Jumei can do this project on its own. Shopify’s technology is not advanced, and their business model has not been verified. There is a possibility of being acquired.The reason why Jumei doesn’t do it on its own is probably because of the different cultural backgrounds and for the sake of success.

In addition to Shopify, there is also Time Group, the entrepreneurial business that Qu Li is directly responsible for. WeChat, which Huang Zheng is responsible for, has accelerated user growth and competes with WhatsApp for users around the world. Domestic Goose Factory finally paid attention to this project, and Zhang Xiaolong from Yangcheng is responsible for development, because WeChat The brand was registered by Time, so they named it Tengxin.

Although Qu Li takes it seriously, he is not afraid at all. He has already cheated WeChat. The domestic version of Honor G4S comes with WeChat pre-installed, and the foreign version comes with WeChat pre-installed.At the same time, we recommend the download experience for old users on KOSStore.

There was no pre-installation in the past because the product was immature and Honor had strict requirements. Now that Huang Zheng has met the requirements, he is facing the challenge of WeChat. If Qu Li doesn't cheat, can he just wait for Goose Factory to use QO to divert traffic?

Of course, the crux of the problem is not here. WeChat has far more foreign users than domestic users. Huang Zheng's team has a bottleneck in its operational capabilities and needs to increase investment and authorization.

Although Qu Li is the big boss of the company, everyone knows that he doesn't know how to "settle accounts" and never considers the cost of what he wants to do, so his financial power is limited and requires application.

Because of the existence of Goose Factory, there is no doubt about the strategic role of WeChat. Qu Li and Lu Qi did not want to give up this rare opportunity and decided to spend money on promotion.The simplest and most direct way is to pre-install it. As long as the user has it in their mobile phone, there is a high probability that they will register and use it.

The current pre-installation fee is not high. The price of a mobile phone varies according to different grades, ranging from a few cents to a few yuan. In order to extinguish Tencent's ambitions in one go, the wealthy Qu Li decided to spend 5000 soft girl coins in China. It plans to pre-install at least 3000 million mobile phones.The pre-installed price of Honor mobile phones is calculated separately.

Budgets are budgets, and Qu Li will always overspend when he spends money. But Jumei's focus is on e-commerce retail, which is cloud computing, not instant messaging. The resources given by Lu Qi are limited.

"We can't raise external funds now. We don't see the value of mobile Internet applications now, so forget it if it fails. If it succeeds, we will lose money no matter how we calculate it." Qu Li

"You also said that there is a possibility of failure and that time is at great risk."

"You mean you want time to find money on your own?"

"Since it is an independent accounting, it is not closely related to our business, and it requires a lot of money, it is best to find venture capital." Lu Qi

What does Qu Li want to say? One-third of the credit for Pinxixi’s early success can be attributed to WeChat. Are you saying that the business relevance is not high?Even so, Qu Li doesn't have much confidence in Huang Zheng. The Goose Factory team has no ethics but strong abilities. Zhang Xiaolong is a master of Internet products.

"How about we slow down the construction of the open logistics platform and build a smart logistics backbone network in a few years?" Lu Qi asked Qu Li to make a choice.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but foreign capital controls most of Ali’s shares. Taobao is developing rapidly. Alipay is the largest third-party payment company in the country, involving financial payments. What if it is controlled by foreign capital?”

"You want the outside world to pay attention to this news?" Lu Qi responded.

"..." How bad do you think I am?Teacher Ma is my "benefactor".

"Will the country issue a payment license to Ahri? What methods will Ahri use to gain domestic trust?"

“Put control of Alipay in your own hands.”

"Do you think they have reasonable and legal means to achieve their goals?"

Lu Qi called the head of the company's legal department over, but he didn't understand the law.

"It's impossible. Theoretically there is no such way."

"That means Ahri, SoftBank, and Yahoo will inevitably have differences and conflicts?"

"No matter what this contradiction is? Their attention will definitely be distracted this year. What we want to do, there is a high probability that we will not be attacked by Taobao." It is impossible for Qu Li to target Ahri Taobao, which will make him fall into a moral trap Dilemma.

Lu Qi knew Qu Li's choice. He would rather give up the development of e-commerce scale and develop logistics. This shows that he attaches great importance to this strategic advantage. Jumei Juhuasuan's development can be slowed down, and time can definitely be given up. , then look for venture capital.

Since then, a series of things have been suppressed, and Qu Li has more and more things to do, so he did not go to Beijin to attend the Honor G4 Plus launch conference.

Self-developed dual-core Qinglong No. [-] chip, power management chip (Su Zifen has studied this before and has accumulated technical experience), KOS based on AOSP, and voice assistant Klun, the startup word is Hiklun!

This phone is the culmination of Honor and Klun. Although it is not excellent, it is very interesting. Taken together, this phone is extremely excellent.

Liu Yifei endorsed this mobile phone and appeared at the press conference, which added a lot of glamour.

The press conference was held on March 3, and the official launch was the next day. As a result, Honor self-operated stores around the world were lined up, waiting for the doors to open at 25 a.m. the next day. There were also people waiting online for Jumei to open at 9 noon. of panic buying.

Those who don’t know may think it’s a discount promotion, but the Honor G4pro that just went on sale doesn’t have a markup, so forget it. If you still want a discount, let’s just dream.

The reason why there are queues to buy is related to Honor Hunger Marketing. Because of global sales, sales volume is difficult to control. Honor has not many stocks, especially in China, where they are often sold out.

There is a reason why domestic netizens hate Qu Li. Whether they are buying his car or his mobile phone, they rush to buy him. People often give him nicknames, and "Qu Shuhou" is one of them.

Qu Li tried to explain: "Hunger marketing can only be used occasionally, and it is definitely not a regular sales method. The shortage of Honor supply is related to the upstream and downstream supply chains and our strict requirements for quality..."

Qu Li naturally doesn’t know how many people have read and heard the letter. Honor can be regarded as a worry for happiness. Some people also added a reason to him: “The price of Honor in China is the lowest in the world, and it has to be adapted to three types of phones. Due to the network standard and higher taxes in China, Honor makes the least money in China for every phone sold. Who would be active if they can’t make money..."

"This kid misunderstood. Honor's goal is to make domestic revenue account for more than [-]% within three to five years. Satisfying domestic consumers is a very important task for us..."

It doesn’t matter whether it’s hunger marketing or not, Honor G4 Plus has received rave reviews at home and abroad!
