Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 259 About Zhang Yaqin

Qu Li met Zhang Yaqin with Lei Jun with reverence. This somewhat legendary IT person, unfortunately, he spent the golden years of his career at Microsoft for retirement. It is said that he often wrote books during this time to give leadership to Zhong Nan. lecture.

Seeing such a genius, Qu Li felt confused. If he was so smart, there would be no need to write novels. People are different.

"I've wanted to get to know you for a long time. Wang Jian said that you would come to me sooner or later. I didn't expect that it would take a day like this." Zhang Yaqin's opening was like this. How could he answer it?

"On the road to pursuing my dream, only people like you can help me. You may not know how anxious I am to promote cloud computing, big data analysis and artificial intelligence research in Jumei. I don't care about money, I care about The truth is: the late emperor’s business was half-way through, but the middle road collapsed..."

"Haha, I believe that I heard that you have been under a lot of pressure in both Jumei and Glory, so why do you still come to me?" Zhang Yaqin learned about Qu Li from many people and knew that he was not a scholar but a talented person. Emotional person.

"I mentioned three ways to defeat the Winter Alliance a few years ago, and they are being implemented one by one. The success of Honor mobile phones is beyond my imagination. We have unprecedented opportunities, but we also face a serious problem, the lack of cores. Soul." Qu Li said calmly.

"It's useless to approach me with such a major issue." Zhang Yaqin is very self-aware.

"You can't do it, I can't do it, and Lei Jun can't do it either, but together we can see the chance of success, and Honor's success will not subvert Microsoft, but it will just take the initiative in a new track..." Qu Li thought that he It’s the employer’s affection

"Are you serious? Just the three of us can do it together?" Zhang Yaqin thought he was bragging.

"Honor first solves the problem of having and not having, and then thinks about how to become Zhongguoxin and Zhongguohun: the chip uses ARM architecture and public version IP; the mobile operating system is based on open source Android, but other smart devices may not Already..." Qu Li talked eloquently

When Zhang Yaqin heard this, he became interested and asked for details. Qu Li was dumbfounded. Fortunately, Lei Jun was there to communicate with him.

As the topic deepened, Qu Li talked about the dream of building a car. Pure electric cars are just the beginning. Their ultimate goal is autonomous driving.

"Don't think this is a dream. An Israeli company called Mobileye has opened up a track called advanced assisted driving. Northern Lights and I jointly invested in Spreadtrum founder Mr. Chen Tong to establish a company called Waze..."

"I never thought that there would be an entrepreneur like you in Zhongguo. This is such a genius idea, so creative..."

"It's overly praised. There's basically no originality. I just synthesized some ideas..."

"You know what you want, that's so abnormal!"

Qu Li just smiled after hearing this and did not continue to say anything modest:

"I sincerely invite you to join Honor, raise a banner to recruit talents, and develop our own operating system and self-driving cars..."

"Leaving Microsoft was a difficult choice."

"Are you going to waste your talent and ambition at Microsoft? The money problem is easy to solve, and you won't suffer a loss..."

"It's not about money, let me think about it again."

"I can't guarantee that Glory will succeed, but we have the best chance, and the huge profits give us more choices..."

Although Qu Li, Lei Jun and Zhang Yaqin had a great conversation and felt that he was a little moved, they still failed to convince Zhang Yaqin to join Glory in the end.

On the way back to Glory, Qu Li suddenly remembered something: "Has that company called Segway agreed to be acquired?"

"It's almost done." Lei Jun responded

The Segway that Qu Li talks about is an American balancing scooter company with a large number of patents. In November last year, Segway's chief technology officer Doug Field was poached by Bridges to become the vice president of Apple's industrial design department.Later this person was poached by Tesla...

How to put it, Musk said that Doug Field is one of the most talented engineers in the world. Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, they always like to use exaggerated words to evaluate.The key is that the technology of balancing cars can be applied to electric cars.

For example, in the past, traditional cars needed to have a spare tire, but electric cars did not. The key lies in the self-balancing system of the electric car. Even if two tires of the electric car burst, it can still run.

Of course, the balancing car business can also be done. It doesn’t make much money, but the skills are high enough. Qu Li also found an opportunity to acquire the drone company in Pengcheng. He is accumulating strength and waits for Qiaobusi to make a move. Glory will cope with it. After the first big crisis is over, the Honor drone will be launched.

At this time, there were only three or two big cats and kittens in Dajiang, and the founder's arrogance had not yet been cultivated, so it was easy to acquire them without any need for him to take action.

"The balancing scooter is too expensive. After we acquire it..." Lei Jun does not want to acquire Segway. It is not a good thing to diversify too early.

"The cost of producing balancing cars in the United States is of course expensive, but it is different in China. All kinds of spare parts and manufacturing are very low." Qu Li learned that later a company called Couliang Mobile Ecological Chain No. 5000 Balance Cars acquired Segway Later, he sold a balancing car with a price of less than [-] yuan.

I didn’t discuss car building with Lei Jun. When it comes to cloud services, you must at least synchronize contacts, text messages, photos, etc. Don’t set up your own servers. Use Amazon’s cloud services in the United States, and in Europe and Japan and South Korea use Jumei’s cloud services.

"Is this cloud service you mentioned really feasible?"

"Who knows, Amazon can do it. Even if we can't do it for the time being, we can accumulate enough experience and we can do it in two or three years." Even if Qu Li doesn't remember how Alibaba Cloud became successful, he still knows the key nodes. Whether the Railway 12306 website is paralyzed has become the best litmus test.

After talking about some things about Jumei and Jinshan, the relationship between Lei Jun and Jinshan was constantly getting into trouble.Qu Li has previously talked about WPS's overseas strategy, starting from the mobile terminal to increase its popularity and paying through subscriptions instead of one-time copyright sales.

The current situation is that Kingsoft is developing the Android version of WPS for Honor. It is unknown whether it has plans for overseas development.

“How are Kingsoft’s online games?”

"The annual revenue is only 6 million, accounting for nearly 7% of Kingsoft's revenue."

"Oh, that's a pity." Qu Li said regretfully

"how?"

"I originally wanted to acquire a gaming company, but I thought that Jinshan's Xishan Residence is very famous."

"Why did you acquire the game company?" Lei Jun wondered.

"You don't understand even if I tell you." Qu Li blurted out without even thinking.

"..."

"Some people think that game 3D engines can assist the film and television industry in post-production special effects and autonomous driving modeling. I invested in a game company in North America. They make online games similar to DOTA, but they lack game publishing experience in China."

"Can't you just tell me the last reason? Jinshan..." Lei Jun

"I didn't say it must be Jinshan. Nine Cities is good. Without World of Warcraft, they should be miserable. It's easier this way." Qu Li

"Jiucheng and you are not from the same group. Don't worry. Let me ask..." Lei Jun suddenly felt that this was an opportunity. Qu Li is quite a demon. In case...

"Okay, settle it earlier. I have invested 2000 million US dollars in that game company in the United States. I am very confident in this game..." Qu Li didn't want to waste time.

"Don't worry, it will be soon."
