Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 434 Progress

Chen Danlin took advantage of this pregnancy opportunity to prepare to withdraw from Jumei. On the one hand, she took good care of the assets of Tianming Fund, and on the other hand, she ran Fenghua International, the parent company of brands such as "Danlin" and "Shein".

From the perspective of importance, Jumei is naturally the most important. Whether it is e-commerce retail business, cloud computing and search, or logistics, it is in a leading position in the country.

But when a company gets bigger, it is no longer its own. This truth is actually not difficult to understand. Goudong has 60 employees and Ali has 26. There are countless employees involved in the upstream and downstream industry chains. Can the founders do whatever they want? ?

Qu Li and Chen Danlin planned these things and decided to buy a mountaintop mansion in Xiangjiang. They would not ask for help from others and could handle this small matter by themselves.

Originally, based on the cooperative relationship between Jumei and Li & Fung, they should be able to become very good friends, but when Qu Li opened his mouth to buy a super mansion, the Li & Fung Feng family thought that Qu Li would not last long and was conservative in the cooperation, so they brought him to Shopee. Come a lot of trouble.Therefore, Jumei has added supply chain partners, and Luqi is preparing to replace their role with Sun and Moon Fenghua to further reduce the cost of its own brand...

Of course, the cooperation between Jumei and Li & Fung will not be canceled in the short term. Even if Jumei Airlines has applied for registration, it will still have to wait until Jumei Logistics' cash flow becomes healthier before purchasing a cargo aircraft.

Seeing that it was the end of April and Ma Yun had not yet agreed to join Jumei's "Access Network" plan, Lu Qi decided not to wait any longer and also chose to announce the plan in May after Honor went public.

"Did Shopify's acquisition go smoothly?" Qu Li continued to find Lu Qi to understand the situation.

"It's not bad, our market value exceeds 200 billion US dollars, we are a big company." Lu Qi said with a smile: "But the price may exceed it."

"What do you think?"

"I think the Shopify model is very good. Amazon's advantages in Europe and the United States are too obvious. If we adopt the same model, there is basically no possibility of winning. With Shopify, we can form an Avengers in the e-commerce field..." Lu Qi I really admire Qu Li's sensitivity, it's so amazing.

"Have you ever thought about this being a disservice to Shopee?"

Once Shopify gains momentum and many brands set up their own e-commerce sales websites, the first to be affected will definitely be small e-commerce platforms like Shopee.

"We can afford this price..." Lu Qi didn't think this was a problem

Tongda Network can be combined with Shopify or Shopee, but Shopee is a Chinese company, while Shopify is a Canadian company. Different people have different difficulties in promoting the same thing.

You said Jumei wants to acquire Shopify. Does it matter? The team is still the same team anyway.Jumei's senior executives such as Qu Li and Lu Qi will basically not interfere with their operations, but will "empower" them.

Shopee will add many competitors and compete with them for the traffic resources of Google and Facebook. But with the support of China's large market, there is no shortage of competitive product supply.In addition, Shopify's platform sales are only US$1000 million and the company's revenue is less than US$80 million. It will take a lot of time to really have an impact on Shopee, whose platform sales revenue may reach US$[-] billion this year.

Don’t think that it is difficult for Shopee to double its revenue. In recent years, Honor mobile phone sales have accounted for the majority of Shopee’s revenue. Of course, this is partly because Qu Li’s relationship is a related transaction, and the gross profit margin is not high.

Qu Li and Lu Qi are considering this from a strategic perspective. They will increase their investment in Shopify, including financial and technical support, such as "Tongda Network".

This kind of highly imaginative large-scale investment requires a certain amount of courage. Mr. Mei of GLP is very willing to support it, but it only requires the nod of the financier behind it. Not to mention Vision Investment, he has both Xiangjiang Investment and China Investment. It has a certain influence.

"There are many companies in China that are willing to join our logistics plan. After Honor goes public..."

"You are not afraid that Honor will fail to go public..." Qu Li said with a smile. Because of his existence, Honor and Jumei have some kind of "mysterious" connection.

"You're not afraid of me, what are you afraid of?" Lu Qi didn't expect Qu Li to be so big-hearted. You could say he loves the limelight, but he didn't even attend the listing of a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars like Honor.

“I don’t know why, but I just feel a little unmotivated. I feel like I’m invincible in the world. I want to let go completely. I feel that Jumei Glory is the same without me, but also feels that it’s difficult to move on without me. Excellence leads to excellence..." Qu Li told the truth

"You can't retire now..." Lu Qi believed it inexplicably. He was a bystander to the success of Glory. In his exchanges with some friends, he mentioned this company many times and learned about many people from all levels. idea.

Honor's success is almost inexplicable. They can't understand or figure out how a Chinese start-up company can become a high-end brand and how it can go smoothly without any setbacks.Is it Zhou Shaoning, Lei Jun or Qu Li’s credit?

Lu Qi’s answers are all, but Qu Li is a catalyst, a spiritual mentor, and a great entrepreneur who can empower the company and the senior management team.

"Without you, projects like Tongda Network and Jumei Logistics, which have invested heavily, would be difficult to sustain. This is the foundation of our future..." Lu Qi said sincerely

"Don't worry, I can't give up halfway, at least I have to see the certainty of success." Qu Li is half a literary youth, and he is somewhat sad about his spring and autumn, but he is more realistic and even seems a little cold. He kicked out his partners and fired Senior employees don't hesitate to speak out.

Lu Qi felt relieved after knowing that Qu Li would not "retire". Even if Qu Li left, after several years of development, he would not have any competitors for the position of CEO of Jumei, but people are different. , what Qu Li can do, Lu Qi cannot do.For example, "accessing the Internet" is very difficult even for Qu Li, let alone a professional manager.

After communicating with Lu Qi and other Jumei senior executives, Qu Li flew to Beijin. Once Lei Jun and the others left, they would not return to Beijin for at least half a month. He had to take charge of the Vision Building.

Honor G4 Plus became the best-selling mobile phone in the world in March and April, occupying the top sales position in many countries and regions, seriously affecting the sales of IPhone4.

To this end, Apple has announced the performance parameters of the A5 chip, which comprehensively surpasses the A4 and Honor's Qinglong One.Not only that, they upgraded the mobile phone system in advance and announced the Siri smart assistant in advance.

According to reliable sources, the IPhone 4S launch conference has been advanced to June. Apple's single-product hit model is facing huge challenges. Wall Street investment analysts seem to have lowered Apple's stock price expectations in hindsight.

"Although it has reconciled with Honor, Apple, which lacks patents, is facing..."

Public opinion is no longer optimistic about Apple, which will affect the Honor IPO. This is a good thing!
