Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

The meeting with Rebs and Li Yinan was in Pengcheng on January 26, 2007. We made an appointment at a relatively secluded club, and the richest man Ding refused to leave, so he was responsible for paying.

Qu Li didn't speak, just took out his iPhone and asked them to play first.

The first generation of iPhone is actually not so amazing. There were smartphones and touch phones before him, and the iPhone is just the best smartphone to combine them.

"Is this the iPhone released by Apple?"

"That's right."

"You want to build such a phone yourself?"

"With Zhou Shaoning from Google."

"You are looking for us to invest?" Rebus only thought of this reason

"I want to know whether the popularization of smart phones and 3G can push the whole society into the era of mobile Internet?"

"..."

"IPhone is just the first generation product, and the future development direction is a higher-performance processor, a smoother operating system, a larger screen, and faster Internet speed. We can use smart phones to surf the Internet, send emails, QQ, read news, Listening to music, watching videos, playing games, whatever you think of, most of the leisure and entertainment and part of the work that can be realized on the PC can be realized on the smartphone..."

"But battery life is a big problem." Mobile phone power is declining visible to the naked eye

"I still insist that when the advantages are large enough, then the disadvantages are acceptable. It is acceptable to charge once every two days or once a day."

"Wouldn't a phone screen be bigger than a laptop?"

"But web pages are optimized for the screen..."

"Even with Zhou Shaoning, it would be too difficult for us to develop smartphones."

"If you are willing to sign a confidentiality agreement and promise not to disclose any information to the outside world within 18 months, you are not allowed to invest in or participate in the creation of any smartphone company other than me, and you can disclose more confidential information. If you do not see hope, I don’t think anyone is willing to play this game with me.” When facing these big bosses, Qu Li was not nervous but calm

"Okay, I'll sign." The three bosses didn't disappoint him, maybe they really didn't have this plan before.

"This is an initial agreement between us and Google, because the company was not formally established at the time, so it was not very compliant. Google acquired Andy Rubin's Android in 2005, and it has been developed for two years, but their direction is different from Apple's... ..."

"Google wants us to make a Blackberry-like smartphone with Google's operating system, Android, to get more support from them..."

"But in my opinion, this is actually useless. The mobile phone company I just established lacks talents and patents. It is not the most ideal partner for Google. On the contrary, even thinking about it, small and medium-sized brands like Dopod are more promising than me..."

"So while I was able to talk to Schmidt, Page, and Sergey, I persuaded them to invite global telecom equipment companies, operators, chip design companies, and mobile phone companies to cooperate to form an open mobile phone alliance... "

"I'm betting on the slow transformation of large companies and the flexibility of small companies. I want to form a high-quality founder team with talents in software and hardware to become one of them and bet on Google's success in Android."

"Schmidt himself said that Android's priority is second only to search engines..."

"How about it? I have said everything I can and cannot say. I would like to invite the two of you to join the Honor Company and work with me to build a smart phone that belongs to Zhongwo, replacing Motorola and Nokia..."

It's a pity that there is no PPT, otherwise it would be a pity to let them know what PPT is for making cars and what PPT is for making mobile phones.

"You want me and Li Yinan to join the Glory Company?" Lei Jun wondered if he heard it wrong, young people nowadays are so courageous?

"He feels that Jinshan has restricted your development, and you may want to retire now." Ding Lei watched such a big show and didn't mind helping Qu Li

"How do you know..." Lei Jun looked at Qu Li in surprise

"Do you really want to retire?" This time it was Ding Lei

"No, I just feel that the past few years have been too tiring." Lei Jun and Ding Lei have known each other for many years. They knew each other as early as when they were working on the BBS. I don't know if they are friends.

"I think Mr. Lei has a strong execution ability, which is far superior to me. This is also the main reason why I invited Mr. Lei. But the shortcomings are also obvious. He is not good at strategic planning, and he lacks a kind of courage and willingness to sacrifice himself. whose confidence."

"How to say?" Lei Jun was unexpectedly not angry, maybe Qu Li's impression on the outside world was too deep, this is a child who is fearless and loves to make troubles.

"If I were the current CEO of Kingsoft, I would definitely invest the company's resources in online games, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that online games are very profitable, and abundant cash flow is the foundation for a company to grow and develop."

"Secondly, I will definitely develop a Linux distribution, learn Ubuntu, use an excellent desktop environment, and build a software market. Through this, I will install, delete, and update software. The most important ones are of course WPS and Firefox browsers. Then I will work with Great Wall Ziguang Tongfang, etc. Technology companies with state-owned background cooperate to develop computers suitable for light office work..."

"The benefits of doing this are obvious. The importance of information security is self-evident. National and school procurement can support the development of this part of the business and can also enhance the image of the company: this is the only company in the world that directly competes with Microsoft. Tech companies?"

"Games generate cash flow. Linux and WPS keep Kingsoft in a stable position, so we have the funds to develop a better Kingsoft Antivirus, and wait for the market and technological progress..."

First of all, it must be clear that Qu Li is very reckless. If he is an ordinary migrant worker, he will be ridiculed as crazy if he dares to write a "ten thousand words book" to Ren Zhengfei. But Qu Li is a genius. His "Comet" created a box office miracle. He grew up from an orphan to the present. It is a miracle. People are always tolerant of miracles.

Although Lei Jun doesn't quite agree with Qu Li's thoughts, he is a smart person who knows how to control anger and reflect. Comparing some of Qu Li's words and deeds before and after, first of all, it is confirmed that this is Qu Li's real thoughts, and secondly, that he himself really thinks. There is a problem, and Qu Li really values ​​him. Why value a person but belittle the other person? This may be the mentality of a little boy.

"Brother Li, we are all from Hunan Province, we are fellow villagers, well, this is not important."

"Pfft!" Ding Lei felt a little funny

"When you return to Warwick, no matter whether the company succeeds or fails, how many people will recognize you? If you think you can promote and be responsible for the development of Warwick's mobile operating system or mobile phone SOC chip, you can also stay."

"It's different when you come to Honor, because of you, the success of Honor mobile phone, you are the only candidate for the CTO of Honor mobile phone..."
