Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 226 Investing in the United States

With the help of Qu Li, two Chinese ministers, Musk and Zhu Luo, met and talked about the importance of new energy vehicles to the United States. By the way, the two asked Musk what he thought of Honor.

"Honor is a brand marketing company. The chip is from Qualcomm, the operating system is from Google, the screen is from Samsung, and the mobile phone is produced by BYD..."

“Although it is selling very well now, the intensified market competition will make the smartphone industry repeat the competition pattern of the Microsoft and Intel era...”

This is a very good person. Well, Honor is not good. He really only does marketing. For example, he won the Super Bowl commercial: Swift sang "Treading the Stars" to accept the award. She was attacked by a terrorist. Honor G2 summoned Iron Man...

It can only be said that it is very heroic, but this is one of the few opportunities for Honor to surpass the iPhone. If it cannot work hard now, it will only be beaten by Apple in the future. Android will not catch up with IOS until around 2015. How will it spend the next 6 years?

In the midst of prosperity, Qu Li issued a tragic song of prosperity, but he had no other solution except increasing marketing efforts and expanding brand influence.Could it be that changing to another reborn can make Android more fluid and secure than iOS in a short period of time?Impossible. Any technological progress must be logical. Yu Dazui always boasts that he is "far ahead", which will almost certainly cause a backlash from consumers. Ren Zhengfei criticized him...

Android is not as good as IOS. It is not that Google is worse than Apple, but it is determined by innate genes. IOS only serves Apple iPhones. There are only a few mobile phones, and the system optimization is not as difficult as coarse-grain mobile phones.Android open source also needs to serve dozens or hundreds of mobile phone terminal companies. It pays most attention to compatibility, and will definitely sacrifice other aspects of capabilities, such as system fluency.

Seeing Qu Li's sadness, the young lady tried to flatter him. Needless to say, there was a lot of fun in it, and it was very enjoyable.

Finally it was Facebook and Zuckerberg's turn. Qu Li couldn't appreciate Zucker's taste and wondered if he made the choice to learn from Zhuge Liang.Someone took Liu Yifei to visit FB, and they talked about business.

This financing ensures that the contract between Jumei and FB can be executed smoothly. This is an unspoken rule. Otherwise, Zuckerberg would not have the confidence to let Qu Li be an alternative. After he could not find a suitable investor in the United States, he Find the vision one step at a time.

It is said that no company is willing to give FB a valuation of more than US$75 billion this time, and Vision is financing based on a valuation of US$100 billion. There may be internal employees suing Vision for this. If he knows how to take advantage of this, he will be looked down upon if he becomes a wolf and refuses to eat meat. Anyway, as long as his reputation is not damaged.

No one discussed FB's establishment of an e-commerce platform. This may have been a bargaining chip used by Zach in negotiations, but it was not used in the end. He wanted to do e-commerce, and Qu Li was really not afraid.Ahri is so powerful, but it still can't make good games, videos and music. Google has invested heavily in social networking, but it is still beaten by FB. This shows that money and traffic are not everything.

Qu Li and Zuckerberg chatted, oh, and discussed their experience in business management. No one can ignore Honor this year. It is said that Qiaobusi is preparing to sue Honor for infringement. Don't ask which Apple patents have been infringed. Does it matter? A smartphone involves tens of thousands and 10,000+ patents. If they want to find faults, they can always find them.

Jumei's stock price has plummeted, but this year's sales have increased 13 times year-on-year, which is also blinding. The losses are not important at all. If Jumei was an American company, it would have been blown to the sky.

As for Zuckerberg, he poached a deputy from Google, the later famous Sheryl Sandberg, who was still the second-in-command of FB until 22 and made important contributions to the growth of this company.

"Aren't you afraid of losing control if you find a man to be the CEO of Jumei?" Xiao Zha didn't pretend to be in front of Qu Li. He was very skillful in dealing with the co-founder. If FB failed, Xiao Zha might be a clown. But he succeeded and will be worshiped as an entrepreneurial idol for a long time.

"Of course I'm afraid. Doing e-commerce is very hard. It requires not only strong belief, but also good physical strength and the ability to deal with complex problems. I can't do it myself, so I want to find someone. Fortunately, I persist Some shares are large enough..." Jackma believes that the controlling right is meaningless and is obviously just an idealistic temperament. Letting foreign investors control the largest e-commerce company in China and enjoy the largest dividends is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Neither Qu Li nor Zuckerberg is considered a good person in the traditional sense, and Xiao Zuckerberg is not considered a bad person at this time, but if FB later said that it did not do evil, someone should be blind.

Vision's investment in Facebook went very smoothly. Including the US$07 million in 5000, the total amount paid was slightly more than US$2.5 million in cash to obtain 3% of FB's shares. Before the company goes public, a board seat will be arranged to promote the cooperation between Kaixin.com and FB. .

During this period, I met with Jesse, the new CEO of Spansion Semiconductor, and discussed the future development of the company. Spansion and Vision, which were on the verge of bankruptcy, were actively applying. AMD and Fujitsu were also working hard and did not want their investments to be wasted. Wow, progress is good.

There are many people interested in building pure electric vehicles. Li Yinan flew to Silicon Valley and together with Qu Li, he selected Zhang Qinan as the person in charge of Honor Auto and officially formed the vehicle building team.

Li Yinan and the others began to recruit people, and Freescale CEO Rich Beyer officially proposed to sell the mobile phone baseband business at the shareholders' meeting. In addition to their huge technology accumulation, after the contract with Motorola expired, they no longer had any business to support their subsequent development.Texas Instruments has also decided to give up the mobile phone baseband chip business, and has contacted Spreadtrum. The sincerity is much greater than last year.

Logically speaking, Spreadtrum is not their only choice. Unfortunately, European, American and Japanese companies such as Infineon cannot protect themselves. Samsung and MediaTek are not needed and can only be found domestically. Needless to say, private companies, none of them can compete with them, as well as ZTE, Datang, etc. State-owned enterprises, isn't this artificially increasing the difficulty of transactions? They will be worse after all.

Vision invested US$2 million in Facebook. Of course, this requires a statement to the outside world to let everyone know that Xiao Zha is rich again and FB will not go bankrupt. Please feel free to register and use it.With FB's global popularity, the Vision Fund has once again become known to the world.

Soon some financial media interviewed the person in charge of Envision in Silicon Valley, who was a former Lehman employee. Many of Envision’s employees in Silicon Valley came from Lehman and switched careers from investment banks to private equity.

“Whether this is Lehman’s resurgence or a U.S. private equity fund backed by Eastern Capital, we don’t know.”

"The only thing that's certain is that Facebook is really lucky..."

At the same time, the news that Vision was an important investor in Twitter also spread. It became famous for a while, and many companies that were short of money and tycoons who were poor and had only money came to visit.

Spreadtrum Communications, which is controlled by Vision, finally made a substantial breakthrough with Phase One Semiconductor in the acquisition of the baseband business.
