Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 139 Turns out to be the stock god

"I was determined to make my own mobile phone at the Apple iPhone launch. I happened to meet Mr. Schmidt, the CEO of Google, and knew that Google was developing Android, so I tried my best to cooperate with Google..."

Qu Li was interviewed by the media in the United States and talked about the origin of Honor G1. He went through many hardships in China, made various promises, and his throat was swollen from bragging, and finally formed a very good team in China.

"Honor only integrated and optimized the hardware. Without the support of Google and the Android team, we would not have been able to make such an excellent product in such a short period of time. This is an Android that surpasses the iPhone and beats all non-smartphones." smartphone……"

“Do you think this phone is from Google or Honor?”

"I think this Honor phone is like most Americans. The body may come from all over the world, but the heart yearns for..." Qu Li almost vomited it out. It was so disgusting. If it weren't for too much publicity in the country, he would not dare to say it. These words please Americans.

But otherwise, what can he say? As a filial son and grandson of the United States, Japan cannot control the operating system. Does anyone think that the reborn can change the overall pattern of international competition and let Huawei Hongmeng system replace Android in the American market?Wake up, wake up, all technological progress takes time, and it also requires a strong motherland.

Of course, when it was his turn to be interviewed by domestic media, he would not be so exaggerated. He said that Zhou Shaoning and Li Yinan were the key to the establishment of Honor, and Google's support was also important.

"I only played a small role in the series. After the establishment of Honor, I was only thought of when money was needed." Qu Li joked.

"Don't you feel aggrieved?"

"What's the grievance? It's a beautiful thing that others can't even think of. One day, I won't be needed for beauty and glory. Then I can just sit back and make money, isn't that okay?"

I quickly skipped this topic and asked when Honor G1 would be sold in China.

"It should be early next year at the earliest. We are a new company and do not have sufficient manpower and material resources to expand channels. There is a high probability that we will cooperate with domestic operators, but the decision-making power is not with us..." Qu Li is very humble towards domestic operators.

No matter which one of China Mobile and China Unicom has a world-class user base, its sales network is spread all over the country, and operator procurement is the biggest source of profit for most domestic brands.Unfortunately, operators' support for domestic brands was not as successful as Monternet. If it had not been for Monternet at the beginning of the century, Penguin and the three major portals at that time might have died.

"I heard that you have invested in Facebook in the United States. Is this true?" A reporter asked about an Internet rumor.

"It's true. In order to sell sports shoes in the United States, I wanted to find a website that I could cooperate with for a long time. I finally chose Facebook and Twitter..."

"I heard that the valuation of Facebook when you bought shares in July was US$7 billion. When Microsoft bought shares in October, Facebook's market value was US$50 billion. What did you think at the time? Many comments from the outside world said that Facebook was not worth the price."

"Microsoft thinks it's worth it. I think it's worth it. That's enough. I don't care what other people think of this investment. If you knew Shopee, wouldn't you think Jumei isn't worth it?"

Because Jumei was about to go public, Qu Li focused his publicity on Jumei, deliberately downplaying his status as the founder of Glory.And what is worth promoting about Jumei?Founder status, inspirational and legendary experience, coconut shoes, shopee, and C2M e-commerce model.

That's right, Jumei has evolved again, from a clothing e-commerce to a C2M e-commerce, directly connecting consumers to factories, and it is also an incubator for brands...

It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. Anyway, Qu Li needs to be familiar with this method of persuasion so that he can go out and brag and attract Wall Street investors with a larger vision and greater imagination.

"Jumei's biggest advantage is to reduce the cost of commodity circulation. There are no middlemen to make profit. It provides the best products at the lowest price and returns to the product itself..."

In fact, Jumei dumped some products that did not meet the brand positioning to the "Xia" brand. Because this was the first dynasty in China and the beginning of 8 million shirts being exchanged for an airplane, it focused on high-quality and low-price products. Various groceries use Chinese character logos.For this reason, he also specially purchased a used version of a certain font.

"Where did your money come from to buy shares in Facebook?" A reporter suddenly asked

This is really a sharp question. He is a junior high school student and an orphan. It is said that he invested US$5000 million in Facebook and tens of millions in establishing Honor. How could he have so much money?Could it be that he is the illegitimate son of a wealthy family, with the white gloves of a powerful man? There is too much room for imagination in this.

"This matter started in 2004. To put it simply, there are always people in this world who are willing to believe in my ability and my judgment."

"For example, shortly after Penguin was listed, I increased leverage and bought a lot of stocks around 3.5 yuan, held them until they were around 30 yuan, sold them, and then added to my position in China Ocean Shipping. Domestically, I started holding shares in 2005. Yan Securities, I bought a lot of stocks in China Shipping in March this year, but by September, I liquidated all the stocks..."

Damn it, the god of stocks. The reporter who interviewed Qu Li was shocked. He originally thought he was the god of management, but he didn’t expect him to be the god of stocks.

"Why, A shares are still rising..." the reporter asked weakly

"There are two reasons. One is that I personally think that the A-share bubble is too big. Normally it should be able to maintain around 3000, but now the Shanghai Composite Index is at 6000 points, and I can't find any reason to stay. The other is Lack of money..." Qu Li still hopes that the A-share companies will lose less. After saying so much, let them think about the rest. He still wants to promote Jumei and Shopee.

In less than an hour after the 2G version of Honor G1 was put on the shelves, 2000 units were sold out, and then the website crashed due to too many user visits.

Three days later, a large number of users received the mobile phones and began posting videos to YouTube.Those who have WiFi at home or are not short of money can directly shoot videos with their mobile phones and upload them to YouTube, and the display effect is actually quite good.

Of course, there is guidance in this, recommending videos praising Honor G1 to more people. For example, Qu Li personally uploaded a promotional video on his own YouTube account to demonstrate the superior performance of Honor G1 from all aspects.

At this time, full-touch screen mobile phones like the iPhone that gave up the physical keyboard had not yet taken over the dominant position, and the concept of full-screen mobile phones had not yet appeared. The BlackBerry used by Ao Guanhai for show had a full keyboard, which represented a trend at this time.Even without Honor guiding it, there would have been more positive comments on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Honor G1 has achieved initial success. Qu Li transferred his energy to the listing underwriter of Jumei Shopee. Only Lehman Brothers was obviously not enough. Among the many candidates, he chose HSBC and Goldman Sachs. They were famous and sincere enough.
