Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 450 Reporter Interview

Maybe Microsoft and Apple didn't respond to Motorola, maybe they couldn't find a more sincere buyer than Honor, maybe Qu Li and others directly contacted Motorola's major shareholders, which played a certain role. Anyway, this acquisition has made great progress.

However, iPhone 4S sold 400 million units in three days and was more popular than Honor G4 Plus, which still casts a shadow over Honor's prospects.However, the positioning of Apple's iPhone and Honor are different. The bigger crisis comes from Android alliances such as Samsung and HTC, because Android is becoming more and more easy to use.

"Apple has officially sued HTC." Qu Li soon received the good news, and killing HTC was a good choice.This company has always been against Honor. At first, it spread rumors overseas that Qu Li was a junior high school student and could not make mobile phones. Later, Honor relied on its product strength, which backfired on them.

There are still many things that are disgusting about HTC. Today, this product will beat the Honor G3, and tomorrow that product will beat the Honor G4. After Plus came out, it was said that self-research has no future, KOS is an Android shell, and Klun is flashy.If you can't figure it out yourself, you will trick others, and three people will become a tiger and harm others.

Qu Licai doesn't want to quarrel with HTC, let alone follow them to kneel and lick Andy Rubin. If he can do it, he won't beep. It just so happens that HTC has infringed on Apple's patent.As for whether there is any PY transaction behind this, it is unknown. Anyway, Qu Li doesn't know.

Google has laid a wedge here. If it is blocked by Apple and Microsoft, it will definitely think of Honor, and there was some discussion at that time.

Naturally, when Qu Li came to the United States, he would not only work, but also brag. Well, he would do promotion for Glory, accept media interviews, or participate in talk shows, and he could also give speeches in schools. Thinking of his English proficiency, he did not embarrass himself. Be honest and accept the interview.

No one doubts that Qu Li will become the founder of two Fortune 500 companies. Although Jumei’s acquisition of Shopify is unknown, Shopee has become the B2C e-commerce company second only to Wal-Mart in the United States. Of course, some people think that Shopee is C2C, just like some people I think Juhuasuan is the same as a C2C website.

In 2011, Walmart’s e-commerce sales were US$49 billion and Apple’s sales were US$66 billion.Last year, Shopee's global sales revenue was about US$39 billion. Even if it cannot double this year, it should not be a big problem if it exceeds US$50 billion this year. It may not be as good as Apple, but Shopee is an e-commerce company, which is different from Apple.

Jumei and Honor both had hot spots, and it was rare to get an appointment with Qu Li. The reporter from Business Weekly thought it would be a series of reports and asked for more details.

Then come on, Qu Li is not afraid, text or video will do, anyway, he will keep the record secret. If anyone dares to spread rumors, then just wait for the court summons.

Starting from Jumei, then we have to start with the Danlin women's clothing brand: "I originally wanted to become an online fast fashion women's clothing brand, launching 100 new styles a day, and winning by speed, but when I really started to do it, I found that it was too difficult and the cost was too high. , so we adjusted our direction to make basic models, and mass production would have cost advantages. However, after persisting for a year, we found that the development speed of Taobao platform is far faster than ours, and there are more and more competitors. If this continues, our fate will be changed. The control is in the hands of Taobao, and at this time, many domestic venture capital investors choose experienced entrepreneurs to compete with me. I have no choice but to transform..."

Qu Li explained the reasons for several changes in Jumei, which was quite attractive. The reporter asked about the two brands Danlin and Xiangyun, as well as his experience in investing in Facebook.

"I often surf the Internet and often visit and study in Silicon Valley in the United States. The different cultural backgrounds allow me to see many interesting things. At that time, I made a lot of money from "Comet", and I made a lot of money after investing in a fund. There was no shortage of money at that time, which was the main reason why I invested in Facebook..." Qu Li explained

"Why don't you invest in your own company instead of investing in Facebook?"

"What Jumei and Honor lacked at that time was not money, but talent, time, traffic, and channels. Investing money in my own company would limit the development of the two companies. And I got to know Google, Yahoo, Apple, After becoming the founder of outstanding Silicon Valley technology companies such as Facebook and Tesla, my thinking has also changed. Making money is important, but changing the world is more important..."

"So you also want to change the world?" Reporter

"This is what I'm doing." Qu Li

The reporter was stunned. Is he recording the transformation process of an entrepreneur?

"What are you going to do?"

"Jumei solves current problems, and Honor solves future problems..." Qu Li said unhurriedly: "Although Jumei Shopee is two companies, we can build an e-commerce company with global procurement and global sales on this basis. Internet, after the company achieves stable profitability, it can use subsidies to help people in economically underdeveloped areas make money..."

"You mean companies do charity?"

"It's not a charity, it's a long-term investment. I have talked with Bill Gates and Buffett, and I think it might be better to use commercial means to solve social problems. Or you can also think that after I become rich, I want to Create more social wealth and drive more people to become rich..."

"Can it be done?" The reporter couldn't understand

"Development is the last word. For example, we now have a 7-inch pizza. I take four inches and you take three inches. We work together to make this pizza a 10-inch one. This is a process of increasing wealth. I take 4 inches, you take 4 inches, and you can give 2 inches to those in need..."

"This is a good idea!" The reporter understood Qu Li's Chinese thinking: getting rich first drives wealth later, and development is the last word.

Who doesn't know how to brag? If you brag a lot, you will be able to form a system of your own after constant revision.Later, Honor promoted the popularization of mobile Internet, and [-]eqiange.com replaced fuel vehicles with electric vehicles. By the way, he mentioned Musk: "I think you should really pay more attention to Musk and his Tesla. He is a very good entrepreneur." , many of my ideas came from communicating with him, such as rocket launches. I don’t have the energy to do this now, but I will definitely do it in the future. Human beings cannot be trapped on the earth, otherwise one day they will fall into internal fighting for limited resources. , if the Third World War breaks out as a result, it will be a disaster for the entire human race..."

The reporter from Business Weekly remembered that Qu Li also invested in Tesla. After some exchanges, he asked about his relationship with Tesla and his future prospects and competition with Tesla.

"Musk is a very proud and smart person. I hope that Qiancheng and Tesla will become the two leading companies in the electric vehicle market, and I think the two companies are more likely to cooperate than compete until electric vehicles replace fuel vehicles. But the scale of this market is large enough to accommodate two great companies!" Qu Li did not shy away from anything, and what he said was convincing.

The two talked a lot about launching space exploration rockets. Musk wanted to immigrate to Mars, and Qu Li wanted to do it for the nearly infinite resources in the universe and to give humans a broader living space.
