Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Yingu Building is on the east side of Zhongguancun Road, and about 800 meters to the south is Zhichun Road where Yingshi Building is located.

On the 8th floor, a 500-square-meter office room has been renovated into an office area, which can accommodate dozens of people. There is a huge logo on the front desk: Yuetuan.com!

In the only independent office, Lei Jun looked out at the prosperous street scene of Zhongguancun with his arms akimbo.

He graduated from the computer department of Wuhan University and started his own business in his fourth year. He partnered with several classmates and founded a "three-color company" whose products are imitation Jinshan Hanka.

At that time, computers were just emerging in China, and all computers were in English.

Due to the small capacity of memory and hard disk, a large space is needed to make a Chinese character system, and it will be very stuck if it is directly installed on the computer. Jinshan has developed an external Chinese card, which contains a Chinese character library, which can achieve the effect of localization of the system without taking up computer memory.

By the way, the early Jinshan and Qiu Bojun are really the idols of countless programmers. Qiu Bojun wrote the WPS1.0 version by himself, making up for the blank of Chinese processing software in the Chinese market, which is even more amazing.

Lei Jun's Sanse company also makes this kind of Hanka.

A few people only know R\u0026D, not operation and promotion, and they were cracked by pirates, and the company was unable to make ends meet, and eventually broke up.

After graduation, Lei Jun obeyed his parents' arrangement and went to work in an aerospace research institute in Beijing. However, he was determined to start a business and often took private jobs and participated in various exhibitions.

Once, at a computer exhibition, he met his idol Qiu Bojun——Qiu Bojun is his real name, not a pseudonym.

Lei Jun was poached to Jinshan very agitatedly, and was responsible for developing a Pangu suite including a Chinese processing platform, Chinese input software and electronic forms, but only sold more than 2,000 sets.

It broke him all at once.

During the recuperation period, he summed up his lessons and felt that he was developing products from the perspective of a technician, not from the perspective of the market.

Lei Jun got enlightened in Longchang, and began to transform from a programmer who "writes code like poetry" to a folk monkey master.

In 2007, when Jinshan was listed in Hong Kong, he resigned as CEO and became an angel investor. Going around for 20 years, he was 21 years old when he started his business, and now he is 41 years old.

The old house was on fire, and I wanted to come out again.

Historically, he first wanted to invest in Meizu, but Huang Zhang quit, so he made his own mobile phone.

Now, he has also developed a great interest in mobile phones, but he can't find satisfactory talents to form a team, and Yao Yuanzhuyu is in front, so the butterfly wings lightly flap, and Xiaomi is gone.

Lei Jun said: "The reason why I dare to start Xiaomi is because I can spend 100 million US dollars, and forget it if I lose it all!"

It's the same now, he is a local tyrant himself, and he has so many investors and friends, he is full of confidence, and he has entered the group buying track with all his troops.

E-commerce models are clear, B2B, B2C and C2C.

Group buying is also a kind, called O2O, which combines online purchases with offline operations.

"..."

Lei Jun stood in front of the window for a while. In fact, he really wanted to see Zhichun Road in the south, but unfortunately he couldn't see it from this office. He was a little strange, why did he think of that guy inexplicably?

The group-buying track is so hot, the 99 Group has not moved at all. I don't know what that person is doing.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

"Mr. Lei, Mr. Yao wants to see you."

"Already here?"

"arrive!"

Lei Jun blinked, thinking Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there! He walked out of the office, and when he looked up, he saw Yao Yuan coming excitedly, with an excited expression on his face, he thought this person was starting a business.

"Oh, Mr. Lei!"

Yao Yuan hugged and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm abroad, so I couldn't come to congratulate you in the first time!"

"It's okay, I didn't tell everyone, I don't like the turmoil of the opening."

Lei Jun also showed his signature smile and spoke his signature accent. He warmly invited Yao Yuan into the house, made tea for him, and asked casually, "Are you going abroad on business? Are you going well?"

"It's okay, I'm promoting the game. Foreigners don't talk about martial arts now, and their skills can't keep up. They stuck our necks with ice cream, so we don't see it."

Yao Yuan looked around and said, "Your decoration is not bad. Are you going to show off your grand plans this time?"

"I just can't stay idle and want to come out and do something. Now the group buying market is hot. When I mention it, those investors and friends are very supportive, so I will give it a try and lose everything."

"What does it mean to lose light? If you go out in person, you can have the last laugh even when the waves wash over the sand."

"It's not as good as if you and many companies are advancing side by side, and they are all doing so well."

After bragging about each other, Lei Jun asked directly: "I'm curious, you have always been involved in anything, why didn't you do anything this time?"

"Change your mentality!"

Yao Yuan thought for a while, then asked back: "You sold Joyo back then and resigned from Jinshan, why didn't you continue to start a business immediately, but became an angel investor instead?"

"One is that I want to rest and rest, and the other is that the wealth is free. I always have to do something that makes me happy. Oh..."

Lei Jun nodded, understood.

"I'm not interested now. When I'm interested, I'll invest directly. I don't want to do it myself!"

Yao Yuan stretched his waist, his posture was very relaxed.

He expressed his attitude, and Lei Jun got closer again, and took the initiative to say: "At present, there are dozens of group buying websites, large and small, and they are still emerging, and the outside world has already called us a hundred regiments.

At present, Meituan, Lashou, and Juhuasuan are the most powerful, and Tencent is not a problem. "

"What happened to Tencent?"

"They have never been able to do e-commerce!"

"Hahaha!"

Yao Yuan was overjoyed and agreed.

The founder of Lashou.com is Wu Bo. He graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering of Tsinghua University. He founded Focus.com with Gong Yu in 1999. Yes, he is Gong Yu from Qiyi.

So the Internet is a circle, and those people come and go.

Juhuahua is a product of Ali. Backed by Taobao traffic, it crazily harvested the market in the early group buying era. As a result, a corruption case broke out in 2012. Yan Limin, the person in charge of Juhuasuan, was dismissed from his post and sentenced to 7 years in prison for allegedly accepting bribes from non-state employees.

What's even more awesome is that the gang of middle-level cadres and some employees under him have corrupt behaviors and have been wiped out in one pot.

After the corruption case, Juhuasuan began to transform, from a group buying website to a consumption upgrade, but lost its own advantages, and is now half-dead.

The bayonet of the group buying war became popular, and there are many stories in it.

In fact, Meituan had no advantages in the early days, but it couldn’t stand up to its opponent’s repeated mistakes. Wang Xing was also a capable person.

In terms of capital size, group buying is much stronger than mobile phones.

The market value of Xiaomi in later generations is more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, and that of Meituan is more than 800 billion. It is true that Xiaomi is in business, but can Meituan say that it is not important? How many people can be employed by one delivery service?

People are sick of it because it's so dark.

At this moment, the two chatted for a long time, and Lei Jun keenly grasped that Yao Yuan was very interested in his own group buying, and it was a kind kind.

So he simply asked: "The market is chaotic, and everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. What's your opinion?"

(besides……)
