Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 530 Something happened to Sabo

Jumei's "Ming" mobile phones and tablets are selling well all over the world. Many domestic friends say that this is Honor wearing a vest to sell mid-to-low-end products. It does not talk about "martial arts". You can see that Internet brands sell mobile phones. "Qian Jing" is so impressive, it is inevitable that my heart will be moved.

Ali YunOS, Baidu Cloud OS, Shengtian sells Bambook, 365 special machine, Netease Guoke. There are no less than 100 Internet companies in the entire market that have proposed plans to manufacture mobile phones, and the smartphone market is in full bloom.

These Internet mobile phone brands either cooperate with operators, Jumei, or Taobao plus SF Express, and very few choose Taobao/Juhuasuan plus express delivery companies.

There is no doubt about the importance of the operator channel. Honor grew up through this channel. 2013% of the sales (of the 80 iPhone) came from the operator channel. Of course, Jumei's "ming" mobile phones must also expand this channel, and Lu Weibing is responsible for it.

"I heard that operators are discussing WeChat signaling issues..."

"What is there to discuss?"

“WeChat takes up too much operator signaling resources.”

A simple understanding of the so-called signaling problem is that social applications such as WeChat need to frequently send instructions to stay online, which will have a certain impact on the operator's network. The most important one is the slower 2.5G network, 3G and 4G network. Basically there is no such problem.At the beginning of this year, Japan's largest mobile operator interrupted services for several hours due to issues of faith. SoftBank Telecom regained the trust of consumers with its stable service capabilities.

"China Mobile has Fetion, China Unicom has Woxin, China Telecom has Yixin..." Lu Weibing

Then this is not just a network and technical problem, but also a competitive factor. Fetion users seem to be second only to QO, but it is a pity that operators cannot accommodate excellent Internet talents.

Continuing to learn more about the operation of Jumei's "ming" brand, Lu Weibing has reached a cooperation with China Mobile and China Unicom, and will soon be selling through operator channels, with Jumei responsible for after-sales.

Relying on Jumei's strong logistics capabilities, Jumei mobile phone quality problems can be replaced and repaired. After the warranty period, they will be repaired in a remote location. Other Internet mobile phone brands, haha...

The reason why we can cooperate with the operation is not because of the relationship, but because Jumei Ming mobile phone is profitable and expands sales channels. It is equivalent to a big promotion event to let those who don’t know Jumei Ming mobile phone know that there is such a company in China.

The purposes are different and the means are different. It is acceptable for mobile phones not to make money through operator channels. Operators can save a lot of advertising fees by hanging one more Jumei brand.

After Qu Li chatted with Lu Weibing, he went to find Huang Zheng and reminded him to maintain communication with the operator, resolve misunderstandings, and reduce the chance of friendly businessmen taking advantage of the situation.

The failure of Tencent has intensified the competition in the instant messaging market. Not to mention the products of operators, Baidu, Ali, NetEase and Shengtian have all entered this market. Among the start-ups, there is Momo. Since Goose Factory can be defeated , then can’t WeChat be defeated?

Qu Li couldn't guarantee it, but Huang Zheng was very confident and stepped up internationalization efforts to compete with WhatsApp and others for the market.Goose Factory is also making internal adjustments to optimize mobile phone QO. It is still unwilling to give up and seems to be interested in letting Tencent go overseas.

After all, Goose Factory is willing to pay in order to prove that he is not just a "man in the nest".

The "success" of Honor and Jumei has brought huge pressure to major Internet companies such as BAT. Fortunately, Ahri can suppress Jumei. The status of Baidu search is difficult to shake. Only Goose Factory has been invaded by Time WeChat into the core field. In addition, Having been "unpopular" for a long time, Gouchang and Mahuateng have been under tremendous pressure from the capital market to the public opinion environment this year.

Because the relevant departments called him, Qu Li flew back to Beijin from Yangcheng, and the matter with Saab Automobile was finally resolved.

"What are your plans after acquiring Saab?" a leader asked him

Isn’t this nonsense? The documents they submitted have already explained it, but let’s be honest: “It’s probably to use Saab’s existing technology and car-making concepts to enrich the foundation of Qiancheng Automobile, and then use this brand to sell cars in Europe to make money.”

"You are in China, are you ready to launch the Saab brand?"

"It should be possible, but in the short term we will focus on CMOS SUVs. We will have to wait until the CMA architecture we are developing is successful..." Qu Li simply said that now this CMA architecture will give priority to using V-type longitudinal engines. It is used for rear-wheel drive and full-time four-wheel drive, which is an engine that serves luxury cars in the traditional sense.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier so that everyone wouldn't have any misunderstandings?" the leader said.

Qu Li curled his lips. Whether there was a misunderstanding or not was not determined by the facts.

Relevant departments also learned about Qiancheng's plan to produce electric vehicles in Europe. The core spare parts will be purchased domestically and shipped to Sweden, and then assembled. The scale will not be large. As for the profits, they will be returned to "Huaguan Automobile" Ireland through intellectual property licensing. company.

"Why not produce in China and then export?" The leader has questions.

"There are many reasons: logistics, cost control, and also to let more people accept a Chinese high-tech automobile brand." Qu Li also explained this, "Qiancheng Geometry is very well-known in the world. In the event of a spontaneous combustion accident, it will cause The whole nation is paying attention, we need more supporters, Europe needs environmental protection and electric vehicles..."

These reasons are a bit nonsense, but no one can prove it. When it comes to brand marketing, it is mostly emotional.What's more, it's not completely unreasonable. EU cars exported to the United States only need to pay a 2% tariff.

Only God knows whether there is any difference between another Chinese brand's European-made cars and Chinese-made cars.You must know that Chinese brands at this time are still weak brands and have not been universally recognized.

Entrepreneurs' decision-making does not necessarily rely on rational and logical analysis, but also a lot of intuition and emotion.Qu Li's choice may be wrong, but as long as the future geometry can succeed in the end, there will be no problem.

The leader did not embarrass Qu Li on these issues. After all, the electric vehicle industry chain, including social infrastructure, is very imperfect. If you really have the technology, you can succeed. The United States will not let Tesla settle in Shanghai, and it also promised to make it 100% domestic. change.

Leaders may not necessarily see this far, but Qu Li has never disappointed anyone in what he has done until now. In the eyes of many leaders, big and small, he is trustworthy.

After finally receiving the permit, Qu Li expressed his gratitude to the relevant departments in a Weibo post, and also explained the acquisition and Qiancheng Motor's next plans.

"Qiancheng planned to produce a fuel-powered car last year. We encountered difficulties in the process. It was not that we couldn't build it, but that we couldn't build a car that was good enough and at the right price. The biggest problem was that the chassis, especially the active suspension, was better than we imagined. It needs to be complicated.”

"At this time, many of our European automotive colleagues encountered difficulties and learned about Saab. We do not need Saab's brand and technology, but their talents and safety experience. For example, the design ideas of the Phoenix platform are attractive enough. "

“After we went to Europe, Honor colleagues told us about Opel cars…”

"Qiancheng's R&D center in Europe, with the Saab and Opel teams as the core, will become the most solid foundation for Qiancheng. However, all technologies must be based on me, in accordance with the trend of vehicle electrification and intelligence..."

"After Saab went bankrupt, all its suppliers and dealer channels in Europe were reduced to zero. We need to start from scratch to develop the European market."

"The above is my business idea. Qiancheng Motor will resume trading soon. In order to avoid the risk of delisting, it will IPO on the Hong Kong stock market before the end of this year. The 30 billion I promised has been received, and by then it will be sold with no less than 400 billion. The currency market value is converted into company shares. But I must remind everyone: we are still a company with high risks and want to change the world."

As a top "Internet celebrity", Qu Li has attracted a lot of media attention at home and abroad. The content he reprinted on Weibo has attracted a lot of discussion in the financial media. It seems that Qiancheng's acquisition of Saab has been settled.But on the one hand, he actively cooperates with outstanding domestic and foreign companies, and on the other hand, he insists on "putting me first". Is this self-contradictory?This is just as confusing as whether Qiancheng Motor has the technology and whether it is the number one independent brand in China.
