Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 293 Negotiation Again

The happy life with Liu Yifei only lasted a few nights. Occasionally watching them filming on the set, Qu Li was basically a spectator.

Honor G3 has been on sale for a week, and nearly 100 million units have been sold worldwide. It is another hot-selling product. Unfortunately, there are many comparison videos about IOS and Android on the market, and some defects are difficult to cover up.

Many media reporters commented that although Honor has excellent industrial design capabilities, Google Android is indeed holding them back. Even Windows Mobile is better than Android.

"An open source operating system is more in line with the long-term interests of consumers. We will seek the greatest balance between security, performance and user experience, rather than leaving consumers with no choice in a closed system..." Qu Li explained

Then a well-known technology blogger commented like this: Honor is more American, I don’t care about anything, you can play it how you want; iPhone is more Chinese, I want to maintain the healthy development of the ecosystem...

I don’t know who told him to say this. Two very similar companies have made different choices.

When Qu Li was interviewed by the media in the United States, he always expressed his love for Bridges Booth and imitated his words: "What I am best at is discovering a group of geniuses and then creating things with them." "The purpose of living is to change the world. Is it still possible?" Are there other reasons?" "Technology alone is not enough, there must be more thinking in humanities and arts."

Such discussions caused a well-known technology reporter to comment: "The same way of thinking, but completely different choices. Qiaobusi, who grew up in an open world, chose to keep his mobile phone closed; Quli, who grew up in society, chose..."

"Is Qu Li more influenced by Chinese culture or American culture?"

Someone on Quora, which was established recently, initiated this question, and then it appeared in Qu Li’s mailbox, asking him to answer.

"I really don't know. Due to my English proficiency, most of the books I read are in Chinese. Because of my professional choice, I am more familiar with Chinese traditional culture and was greatly influenced by an ancient Chinese sage. He said that Chinese Intellectuals should do the following:

ToordainconscienceforHeavenandEarth

Tosecurelifeandfortuneforthepeople

Tocontinuelostteachingsforpastsages

"To establish peace for all future generations..." (Does anyone know what these four sentences mean?)

"I have similar ideas. Not only that, during the critical period of my growth, I was influenced by many Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, especially Bridges Booth, Larry Page, Musk, etc., including Ma Yun of Zhongguo, Wang Chuanfu Wait, they are all very good entrepreneurs..."

"I think the differences between Eastern and Western cultures are just superficial. In the end, they will reach the same destination by different paths. Humanity's yearning for a better life is our common pursuit."

Qu Li's answer is pretty good. Although it is a little off-topic, it can resolve some netizens' misunderstandings about Zhongguo to a certain extent.

With different positioning, Honor has used the influence of Google Android and Apple iPhone to storm the global smartphone market, putting huge pressure on Nokia and BlackBerry. The high-end mobile phone market has been tilting towards iPhone and Honor.Various remarks were made, many of which were malicious and hateful towards the Chinese government officials.

Honor has established a sales company in the United States, and the public relations department will monitor these negative remarks in the media. It is not to prevent the occurrence of negative news, but to control it within a certain range.

Qu Li left Hollywood and returned to Honor in Silicon Valley. The design of the Honor Silicon Valley store was completed. He was a well-known local designer in Silicon Valley. He saw the design drawings and was quite satisfied. It was high-end and classy.

Flagship experience stores in first-tier cities are designed individually. In the future, they will be designed by well-known local designers. If the quality is too low, they will be found from surrounding areas.Most other self-operated Honor Stores and authorized stores need to maintain a unified professional style and use extensive glass facades to create a borderless visual impact. It seems that Apple has not established this decoration style at this time, right?

Originally, I wanted to personally participate in store construction, but after many discussions, Google decided to acquire Shopee, or exchange Google funds for Shopee.

Although Google's domain name cannot be used, "Google" and "guge" will remain, including gmail, maps, music, etc.

But, come on, Google does not rule out the possibility of entering the Chinese market again.As for Google Play, it adopts a licensing operation model...

A normal person's understanding is that Google is withdrawing from the Chinese market, but it is not withdrawing completely, leaving a tail waiting for changes in domestic policies.

Qu Li felt that he could accept it, but what about the price?Authorization method?What about Google’s search technology?This is the key.

"Google America temporarily provides search results for Google China, and Google China is responsible for content review..."

After hearing this, Qu Li just wanted to scold Ma Ma for selling batches. He felt that Google was wasting their time, but he didn't expect it to be completely sincere.

"Google will give it to you for free..." Schmidt said quickly. If it wasn't for the complete acquisition of Shopee, he wouldn't want to do it himself. You must know that Google's market value is nearly 2000 billion US dollars, and it can acquire it with one year's net profit. Jumei is completely unequal.

"You don't want to give it to me, Jumei doesn't want hot chicken..." Qu Li stood up and said, Lu Qi gently pulled the corner of Qu Li's clothes from behind.

Oh, I forgot that Lu Qi resigned from Yahoo, and he knows search.

"Hmph!" Qu Li snorted and sat down, turned around, and handed the stage to Lu Qi.

Google will basically give up its domestic business, leaving only a shell of Google in Jumei. Employees who agree to the conditions can freely choose to stay or work in the United States.

In fact, Google's so-called not leaving technology behind is just their negotiation strategy. Google's search technology is based on the three technologies they announced: GFS, BigTable, and MapReduce, but in 2010 it will be migrated to the new three technologies Caffeine, Pregel, and Dreme.The search technology used by Baidu, Yahu, Amazon, Facebook, and Jumei is based on Hadoop, an open source project led by Yahoo.

It is understandable that Google does not want to leak its own technology. The possibility of providing search technology support certainly exists, just like Yahoo search uses Microsoft Bing technology.But Qu Li doesn't want this model. He wants Jumei Company to achieve technological progress.

"Google can buy shares first and become Shopee's major shareholder..." Seeing that Google had decided to leave, Lu Qi didn't want to pay too many chips, since the value was not high anyway.

"No, we want to acquire..."

"Google doesn't understand e-commerce, so it's not a bad thing to learn it first. If there is a better choice than Shopee, the loss will be smaller."

"Google can bear this loss..."

"But we can't afford it. Shopee is in a rapid development stage. We are confident that it can be one-fifth the size of Amazon, but you can't offer such a high price."

Amazon has a market value of approximately US$400 billion, one-fifth of which is 80 billion, and Jumei has a market value of less than US$60 billion. No matter how wealthy Google is, it is impossible to acquire subsidiaries at a price higher than the market value of the parent company.

When Lu Qi said this, Google surprisingly didn't refute it. Amazon's revenue in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2009 was about US$150 billion, while Shopee's revenue this fiscal year was only US$15 billion. As long as SI Hu has money, Shopee can quickly catch up with Amazon... …

The Shopee model imitates Costco and Aldi. Ten years later, there will be no successful precedent in the global Internet e-commerce industry. Qu Li himself really doesn’t have much confidence.

After all, Google has never done e-commerce, and Brady will definitely boast about his abilities, so it is normal for Schmidt to be blindly optimistic about Shopee.
