Rebirth: Starting from selling water to become the world’s richest man

Acquisition of Kingsoft Software

Li Shanshan looked at Lei Jun, who had been silent for more than a minute, and said slowly: “Mr. Lei, are you not satisfied with the price?” ”

Satisfied, satisfied!”

Lei Jun finally came to his senses. The money acquisition company supports us in continuing to develop software and is willing to give us shares.

Only a fool would be dissatisfied with such a good thing! ?

“That’s good. If you have any conditions, you can make them.” Li Shanshan said with a smile.

“Okay, Mr. Li, but I have to discuss this matter with Mr. Qiu and give you an answer as soon as possible.”

Lei Jun knew Qiu Bojun’s current financial situation. The poor would have to sell their houses. How could he not do it at this time? agree.

Sure enough, when Qiu Bojun heard the news, he immediately agreed.

After all, you don’t have to sell the house yourself, and you can still get a lot of money.

And it seems that there is no need to worry about R&D funds in the future. This boss attaches great importance to R&D work.

In this way, the two parties quickly reached an agreement. Li Shanshan invested 20 million and controlled 80% of the shares of Kingsoft Software Company.

…

the imperial capital, Zhongguancun.

“Mr. Li, hello!”

Qiu Bojun was slightly startled when he saw Li Shanshan. If Lei Jun hadn’t been by his side, Qiu Bojun wouldn’t have believed that a big boss who could earn 20 million in one move would be so young. .

“Hello!”

Li Shanshan took the initiative to shake hands with Qiu Bojun. You must know that back then, Qiu Bojun was a god-like figure.

In April 1988, 25-year-old Qiu Bojun came to Pengcheng, locked himself in a hotel in Nanshan District, and wrote code every day.

As long as he was awake every day, he kept writing. Whenever he was too sleepy to see the computer screen clearly, he would just squint for a while.

As for eating, I rely on cooking instant noodles every day.

Because it was too hard, he was sent to the hospital only 2 months later. The doctor diagnosed him with acute hepatitis. The doctor asked him to be forced to be hospitalized. Qiu Bojun moved the computer into the ward and continued writing.

During that time, he was very lonely. He didn’t know who to ask if he had questions, and he had no one to share his solutions with.

After more than a year, Qiu Bojun was hospitalized three times due to acute hepatitis. It was not until September 1989 that he finally finished typing the last 122,000 lines of code in the hospital.

Since then, China’s first word processing software, WPS, was born and quickly spread throughout the country.

Anyone who has studied assembly language knows how difficult it is. Qiu Bojun still finished it alone. Li Xianxian only has two words in his heart: It’s awesome!

“Mr. Li, may I ask, why did you decide to invest in Kingsoft?” Qiu Bojun asked the doubts in his heart.

“First of all, Mr. Lei came to Longshan to see me in person, which made me feel your sincerity.”

Li Shanshan nodded to Mr. Lei, then looked at Qiu Bojun and continued: “I also know that this software is a reflection of your hard work. , you rejected Bill Gates’ invitation just to build a unique national brand.” “

I very much support your idea. I hope that through my acquisition, in the future we can jointly develop our own software and create a brand that belongs to our nation. Enterprise!”

Hearing this, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun couldn’t help but applaud. Isn’t this the original dream of China’s number one coder?

Work hard for the code, devote yourself to the feelings, regardless of fame and fortune, code hard!

At this moment, the three people actually resonated with each other, especially the two programmers Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun. At this moment, they were truly convinced of Li Shanshan.

“In addition, you don’t have to worry about research and development. I will fully support you so that you no longer have to worry about anything.”

Li Shanshan attaches great importance to research and development work, and he is also willing to spend money.

We must know the reason why Huawei in later generations can catch up from behind.

The most important reason is that they are willing to invest money in research and development. It is said that 10% of Huawei’s profits are used for research and development every year. At the craziest time, the annual research and development expenses even exceeded the total profit of the year.

This cannot be done in any other company. Most bosses do not have this idea. In their opinion, it is not good to use the money to buy themselves a house and do some financial management.

“Boss, I feel relieved with your words. I will concentrate on research from now on.” Lei Jun said from the side.

When Li Shanshan heard this, he thought of Rebus in his previous life, who laughed at himself when he was interviewed: “You said that I am an engineer who has been working for more than 20 years, and some people say that I only do marketing; Dong Mingzhu is a salesman, and he is outside every day. Said she had core technology…”

Rebus was actually a programmer, and coding was his job. Later, he never thought he would become the boss of a Fortune 500 company.

If he really returns to his old profession now, I wonder if Xiaomi phones will appear in the future?

“Actually, taking a proper management position can also help you relax.”

Li Shanshan felt funny. He felt that he had to put some pressure on Rebus and expected him to develop Xiaomi mobile phones in advance in the future!

“Mr. Li, the conference room is ready. Let’s go meet the employees!” ”

Okay, let’s go.”

The three of them came to the conference room together.

…

“Please take a seat.”

In the conference room, the remaining dozen or so employees of Jinshan Company gathered together.

In the first few months of this year, the company could barely sustain itself, but as time went on, the money ran out, and the original team of hundreds of people dispersed.

Fortunately, now a new boss has come, giving the remaining employees hope.

Li Xianxian waved his hand and everyone sat down. He had obviously entered the role of boss.

“Hello everyone, I’m Li Shanshan. I’m very happy to work with you. I believe you all know about my situation.” The

employees in the audience looked at the young boss silently. They were thinking the same thing as Qiu Bojun just now. , it is hard to believe that the new boss is too young!

However, the title of boss of Longshanquan Company is enough to prove his strength.

Last year’s CCTV standard king has expanded its business this year.

Catering, home appliances, drinks, snacks and even chips, there seems to be nothing he can’t do.

It is actually quite difficult to operate across industries, especially the computer industry. At present, many people in China are not optimistic about it, and the technical level is far behind foreign countries. The most important thing is that the current domestic consumption level cannot keep up.

However, no one expected that he would enter the computer industry so quickly, let alone become his own boss!

“Don’t worry, everyone, the funds are now in place, and the company’s development will be even more brilliant in the future!” The

audience immediately burst into warm applause. Ordinary employees only care about whether their wages can be paid on time, so what Li Shanshan said can be considered as a meal for everyone. A reassurance.
