Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 458 Long-term Investment

Qu Li and Lei Jun have done a lot of big things in the United States, but there is no news about it from the outside world. When the real big things are known to the outside world, the dust has already settled. Therefore, intelligence work is very important, and many large groups have similar information. Department of Intelligence Center.

Qu Li has become the richest man in China. It is impossible not to make preparations. Whether it is Fanxing Fund or Tianming Fund, it is private. Jumei Glory also needs to do similar things, otherwise how can it track the latest technology in the world.

"We must strengthen cooperation with internationally renowned universities, not only for technology, but also for talents, and we must regard this as long-term strategic execution." Qu Li communicated with Lei Jun. The competition among top companies is the competition for talents. He is really, really envious. Musk, a man whose ability to brag is unparalleled, has attracted a large following.

I don’t know if Musk is a reborn person. According to interviews with SpaceX and other internal team members, it is known that many decisions on technical direction are made by Musk, and almost no mistakes are made. This is an exaggeration.

Although the first principle is very good, the way to apply it depends on the same intention. Different people interpret the same classic with very different connotations. Musk almost never makes mistakes in SpaceX. This ability is something that Qu Li cannot do no matter how he cheats. Arrived.

Fortunately, Qu Li's ability to brag is getting stronger and stronger, and he has developed his own personality charm. This time he gained a lot in Silicon Valley and learned a lot of information.Originally, Qu Li contacted the person in charge of MIPS and wanted to invest in this chip architecture IP licensing company to promote them to open source and embrace a larger market.The idea was good, someone inside MIPS was interested, and the company's market value fell to less than $5 million, and it was time to change.

After several communications, he encountered inexplicable resistance and finally rejected Qu Li's investment. However, someone told him that a team at the University of California, Berkeley, had developed an architecture called RISC-V.

Qu Li knew from the name that this thing was awesome, Ah Li Ping Tou Ge, the most popular chip architecture in the country, became the hope of the whole village.That’s why I came up with the idea of ​​cooperating with American universities.

"Only by mastering the lowest-level technology can we be invincible." Qu Li hopes that Lei Jun can give Honor the ability to build chips and operating systems from scratch.

"This matter is not simple."

"So, cooperate with universities and recruit their mature talents." Qu Li, as a capitalist, naturally does not want to spend money to cultivate talents, but directly recruits mature talents.After all, there are too few employees like Japan who can stay in the same company forever.

"Can we really acquire Motorola for US$30 billion?" Lei Jun couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, Honor only paid US$125 billion for the US$30 billion acquisition, which seemed a bit fantasy.

"Everything has a price." Qu Li

Different from the acquisition by a certain company in 2014, Motorola had only 3500 employees at that time. Not to mention the loss of global operators and other channels, it must have shrunk a lot compared with 2011.Although Motorola today has many internal problems, it is a company with an engineer culture that values ​​products and does not conflict with Honor's high-quality culture.

"These losses are still worth it." After experiencing the dual oppression of Google and Microsoft, Lei Jun was somewhat discouraged. Honor's heritage was not even comparable to that of Samsung, and he faced the capital that the giant basically resisted.

Qu Li was not very satisfied with this negotiation. Without GMS in the future, many applications would not be able to run properly, and mobile phone manufacturers had lost too much autonomy. However, thinking that giants like Samsung would be unable to resist, he felt a lot more balanced. The only thing he was worried about was The Chrysanthemum Factory Incident happened in Glory. At that time, he did not have a telecommunications equipment business.

Therefore, Qu Liqian prepared a lot of Bitcoins for Glory. He wanted to collect 5% of the Bitcoins and save them in two funds: Jumei, Glory, Qiancheng, Time, Fenghua International, Fanxing and Tianming.

The blockchain technology behind Bitcoin has been developed by Jumei. After all, Jumei Logistics can use it and the whole process is traceable.

But Bitcoin is just a small thing, and it is difficult for the market of self-balancing vehicles and drones to explode. Even if it is an electric vehicle solution, everything will be in vain once it encounters force majeure. From this, we can see the strength of Chrysanthemum Factory, which is an invincible Xiaoqiang.

Since it is unavoidable, there is no need to worry too much and do your best to avoid becoming the center of a confrontation between major powers.

But he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble still came to him. As soon as Qu Li came back from the United States, someone came to look for him.

"No, I'm not interested." Qu Li refused without thinking: "I have nothing to do with Vision Investment anymore, and I don't want to get involved in this kind of trouble."

"Director Jiang asked an orphan on his deathbed to write you a letter..." The visitor actually produced a letter. The chairman of Center International passed away due to illness at the end of June.

This is because Central International wants Qu Li to join the board of directors to help Zhang Yujing balance the forces of all parties and develop and expand the domestic chip foundry business.

No matter what he chooses, Qu Li will not let Center International produce chips for Honor. There is a generational gap in technology between this company and TSMC. This is an indisputable fact.

But Qu Li was still moved after seeing Jiang Dong's sincerity in the letter. The sentiments of the older generation are trustworthy.

"I don't mean to shirk it. At Jumei and Glory, I don't have to worry about office politics, but joining the center's international board of directors and participating in intrigues are not what I'm good at." Although Qu Li was moved, he still didn't want to work in vain.

"Director Jiang believes in your ability, and we will cooperate. If necessary, we can make you the major shareholder of Central International." said the person from Shanghai.

"This is even more impossible. I won't let Glory get into inexplicable trouble." Qu Li knew that he represented more than just himself. Qu Li didn't believe it if American daddy didn't focus on this company.

The visitor did not expect that Qu Li would be so cold-blooded and betray Director Jiang's trust.

Qu Li has a clear understanding of himself. He does not understand chips. Whether he joins the center or becomes its independent director, it will be difficult for him to play a role. Even if he becomes the actual controller of the company, it will be useless if he cannot buy the latest equipment.

However, Qu Li knows the importance of 28nm advanced process technology to the automotive industry, and it seems important to help the center master this capability, as well as the localization of various equipment.

After the visitor left, Qu Li thought the matter was over. Unexpectedly, he underestimated the determination of some people. Zhang Yiwen quickly called him to tell him that Huabei invested in Xiangjiang Investment and invested in Center International, with a shareholding ratio of close to 15%.

"Why did you agree?" Qu Li was angry.

"What can I do to make money without making money?" Zhang Yiwen asked back

What to do?Attend the Sino-Singapore board of directors with Zhang Yiwen and then sit in?
