Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 241 Huang Zheng&WeChat

I thought that I was the protagonist of the era, and I could easily catch the cheaters. Even big-shot figures like Lei Jun joined Glory. I didn’t expect that Yu Jun and Zhang Xiaolong failed one after another. One wanted to go abroad to retire, and the other didn’t. Leave Penguin behind.

Although Echeng Dachang has no ideals, it provides a lot of money and first-class benefits. Let alone domestic, there are very few elites in the world who can not bend down for five buckets of rice.Qu Li can understand Zhang Xiaolong's choice, but Yu Jun is about to resign from Baidu and leave, and they don't want to have anything to do with him, which is a bit hurtful.

"Do you want to do instant messaging by yourself?" Lei Jun asked, seeing that Qu Li was not acting normally.

"Even if you know something will fail, you won't be willing to give it a try."

If a slightly normal person is still hesitant about whether to do it after seeing that WeChat has become a national software and that WeChat’s offline payment share exceeds 60%, it really makes no sense. The key to the problem is not whether to do it or not, but who to let it do it. Can it benefit?

Qu Li didn’t want to start WeChat before because B2C e-commerce like Jumei is more important and meaningful; it’s not about the ability to make money. In 2021, national online retail sales exceeded 13 billion, of which Taobao accounted for 8.5 trillion and Goudong accounted for 3.2 trillion.Related industries have absorbed and created employment for more than 6700 million people...

In short, WeChat can increase the upper limit of a company, but e-commerce breaks the information barrier and can become the foundation of a country in a historical period.Later, there were frequent reports on the Internet that Taobao is not dead, Zhongguo is not rich, but who is rich?Of course they are profiteers who create information barriers.

"Such an app should be good for Honor. Why don't we let Honor do it?" Although Lei Jun doesn't think WeChat can succeed, Qu Li can't rely on common sense to judge. If anything happens, he doesn't want to miss this opportunity. .

"Honor is a smartphone, and we will develop an operating system in the future. In addition to high-frequency necessary and difficult-to-profit tool APPs, I don't think it is necessary to make it ourselves. What we want to do is a cross-platform and cross-regional instant messaging APP..."

"You want to develop for iOS and Symbian?"

"more or less."

It is said that Symbian is the most popular operating system on mobile phones in this era. It has long battery life and smooth use. Unfortunately, it is not developed for touch screens, and software development and installation are troublesome.It is destined to be eliminated in the future, but it still has to be developed. As for Windows Phone, forget it.

Just do it when you think of it, and he sent an email to a few people he liked in Jumei: "Counting from the 90s to now, there have been more than one billion Internet users in the world in the past 20 years, but I think the emergence of mobile Internet will accelerate the growth of the Internet. Popularity, the number of Internet users may exceed 10 billion within 30 years, so I want to develop an instant messaging APP based on mobile Internet that can have more than 10 billion users..."

Huang Zheng was the first to reply to his email: I want to participate.Several others said they wanted to know more, but no one refused outright.

Qu Li continued to send emails. The company's main business is e-commerce. If you join this project, you will only get a basic salary. You may not get bonuses for a long time. If you fail, it will be equivalent to wasting several years of growth during the critical period of Jumei's growth. time.If it succeeds, I'm not sure how valuable this APP is...

Huang Zheng was the first to reply. There was no need to choose, just him. There is a reason why people are successful. You can't just lie in bed and have hundreds of billions handed to him, right?

Qu Li quickly settled on Huang Zheng and asked him to form a development team in Yangcheng. The early stage would definitely be for the European, American, Japanese and Korean markets. The reason is self-evident, as the domestic 3G network has just begun to be constructed.

I told Lu Qi that it was a small matter, only a few people, and we would discuss it in detail when he returned to Yangcheng.

"Why don't you let them work in Beijin?" Lei Jun asked curiously

"If you don't ask me for instructions every day, why should I be lazy?"

"..."

"Glory, Jumei, one in the south and one in the north, are you just trying to be lazy?"

"You just know?"

Lei Jun entered Honor and knew a lot of inside information and the power of capital. If anyone dares to say that Honor is a start-up company, I really want to slap him.Without Lehman in the beginning, neither operators nor the supply chain would have trusted Honor so much. Later, without the vision, they would not have been so lucky.

This is nothing. After getting rich, Qu Li was too willing to spend money. He spent money to buy equipment for BYD and other supply chain companies, and arranged the recruited engineers to BYD Electronics. Who came up with these, so brave, But when he saw Honor G2, he felt it was really good.

But because of this, I understand Zhou Shaoning better. It’s not that he is not excellent. Many of Qu Li’s practices are against common sense. The better people are, the harder it is to accept them. The conflict between him and Qu Li is definitely not a day or two. Think about the status of engineers in Glory. , it is not difficult to understand Li Yinan’s support for Qu Li.

As if walking on thin ice in the abyss, this may be: having a Bodhisattva heart and using thunderbolt means.

Thinking about the Honor G3, notebooks and tablets under development, Lei Jun was curious about the action cameras that Honor has not launched yet. The market seems too small, right?However, Qu Li did not explain, saying that the time was not yet ripe.

"Our most important partner besides Google is Qualcomm, but Qualcomm is not very cooperative. Although they agree to let us pay to entrust them to develop a chip, they are not prepared to let our people intervene. This is not possible. We must find a way to go deep into Qualcomm." Learn from their advanced experience and then work together with Spreadtrum..." Qu Li talked about the inside story of the cooperation between Honor and Qualcomm.

Honor G2 finally uses Qualcomm QSD8250, the main frequency is 1G, Adreno200 GPU. Now the production capacity can keep up with Honor's demand, but their development progress is slow. Historically, there was no upgraded product MSM2011 until 8255.Then the Honor G3 chip will not have performance upgrades and can only be continuously optimized.Logically speaking, it's nothing, but who knows when Apple's self-developed iPhone chips will be released?

To improve the performance of Android phones, parameters need to be adjusted, but the frequency of product updates and the short life cycle result in high costs, and the less money they make.So we still have to be taken advantage of and spend money on R&D with Qualcomm to make customized Honor chips.

After several explanations, Lei Jun finally understood the strategic significance of doing so. Their competitor was the iPhone, not Nokia.He has a lot to do, but fortunately the direction and purpose are very clear.

Then there are the dealer channels. Apple iPhone does not cooperate with Qualcomm, and Honor occupies the resources of two operators. It is certain to catch up from behind.Europe has Deutsche Telekom and Hutchison 3 Telecom, and on this basis, some dealers have actively contacted Honor. Qu Li didn't know how to deal with such a complicated matter, so he chose to delegate power.

Lei Jun has a lot to deal with. After all, he is a model worker. It is normal to be a little tired. Otherwise, I would be sorry for the 500 million shares given to him, don’t you think?

"By the way, my long-term goal is to build at least one brand experience store in major cities in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea to facilitate selling cars in the future..." Qu Li finally said, leaving Rebus there in pain.
