My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1371 Rice arrives

   "Mr. Xia, you're too kind. I'm just here to study, and I'll ask you to accompany you on a special trip."

   In the headquarters office of Fuxing Industrial Group, Lei Jun looked at Xia Jingxing who was sitting across from him with a smile on his face, his words were full of flattery and respect.

   Actually, when Fuxing Industrial Group held an industry conference in Modu last time, Lei Jun wanted to have a deep talk with Xia Jingxing.

   It's a pity that too many people and units visited Xia Jingxing during that time, almost knocking the threshold off, so Xia Jingxing finally hid behind closed doors and thanked the guests. Lei Jun didn't take advantage of the opportunity to visit because he was slow.

   This delay has passed for a few months.

   But Lei Jun was not idle during this period. He went to visit Meizu's Huang Zhang, and got a lot of inspiration for mobile phones from the other party, so he strengthened his determination to start a mobile phone business.

  Xia Jingxing looked at Lei Jun with a smile. He gave Lei Jun an olive branch more than a year ago and invited him to serve as an investment partner of Envision Capital, that is, a consultant.

  Lei Jun said at the time that he had to think about it, but in the end, he naturally did not come to work, and was alone outside doing angel investment.

During the    period, he invested in many star startups such as Vanke Eslite, Lakala, Letao, etc. In addition, he invested in companies such as Duowan YY and UC Youshi earlier. In the future, a well-known angel investor will not be able to run away.

   But compared to these petty troubles, the glory of Lei Jun's second entrepreneurship has not even a shadow.

   "Mr. Lei, now you have finally made up your mind to start a business in the field of mobile phones?"

  Lei Jun smiled and nodded, "I'll make you laugh, I'm a bit indecisive and often miss good opportunities."

  Xia Jingxing smiled without saying a word, he knew that Lei Jun was expressing his apology for the indecision more than a year ago.

   At that time, Xia Jingxing not only invited Lei Jun to be the investment partner of Vision Capital, but also represented Android to invite Lei Jun to enter the field of mobile phone business.

   But Lei Jun kept dragging his feet and didn't give an answer.

   More than a year has passed, and many changes have taken place in the mobile phone industry.

  The Meizu M8 was born, and the Honor mobile phone is ready to go, and manufacturers such as Chrysanthemum Factory and ZTE are also sharpening their knives and preparing to launch their own Android phones.

  Lei Jun decided to start a business at this time, it was a little late.

   "But the good things are not busy. This year, I have been inspecting and visiting major mobile phone manufacturers to learn how to make mobile phones. Now I have everything ready."

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly and said "OK".

  There is no more text here?

Seeing that Xia Jingxing looked like gold, Lei Jun had no choice but to take the initiative and asked with a shy face, "Mr. Xia, you said before that if I build a mobile phone, you will give me some support, do you still have this promise? Does it work?"

   "Of course it works!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "You are our model worker in Zhongguancun, who do you support?"

   got a satisfactory answer, and Lei Jun was relieved a lot.

   He knew that Xia Jingxing was a person with big plans, and he did not disappoint.

   Actually, Xia Jingxing was a little hesitant.

In the past, he promised Lei Jun to give entrepreneurial support, because rice mobile phones will not compete with Fuxing mobile phones for the time being. Instead, they will make the cake bigger together. Maybe they can also compete with the mobile phone industry invested by the mobile phone industry fund and Fuxing production and investment. The chain and the chip industry chain have reached certain cooperation.

   But now the Honor mobile phone is about to be released, aiming at the mid-to-low-end mobile phone market that Fuxing mobile phone has not been involved in yet.

   Don't wait until the future, as soon as the rice phone is born, it will form a direct competitive relationship with the Honor phone.

  Xia Jingxing is not worried about raising tigers, so he has cultivated a competitor for himself. After all, the global smartphone market is large enough to accommodate five or six mobile phone manufacturers. Without rice, there will also be chrysanthemum factories and OV mobile phones.

   Since we know that we cannot prevent the emergence of endless mobile phone startups, we might as well look at these startups with an open and inclusive mind, and cooperate if we can.

   It's just that Xia Jingxing doesn't care, it doesn't mean Lei Jun doesn't care.

  Xia Jingxing hesitated on this point, should he tell Lei Jun about the R&D progress and market positioning of the Honor mobile phone?

  If you don't tell Lei Jun now, when the Honor mobile phone is released, the other party will feel that he is deliberately concealing it.

   But the Honor mobile phone is a secret for the time being, and it is not very convenient to disclose it to the public.

   "When is your mobile phone company going to be established?"

  Lei Jun replied: "It is already under preparation. It is expected to be ready by the end of this year or early next year, and then it will officially open."

   Hearing this, Xia Jingxing knew exactly what he knew. When the rice phone was officially established, the first-generation Honor phone should have been released, and when we talked about investing in shares, there would be no one to deceive anyone.

  Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing said: "Then when your company is officially established, let's talk in detail, what do you think?"

  Lei Jun nodded and said honestly and honestly: "Also, in fact, we are not short of development funds for the time being, and we are even short of mobile phone professionals."

  Xia Jingxing rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Don't you give me a vaccination, ready to dig our people."

  Lei Jun laughed dryly, his hands on the table were tightly squeezed together, his expression and movements were a little awkward.

   Seeing the other party's posture, how could Xia Jingxing not understand, he guessed right, Lei Jun really wanted to dig Fuxing mobile phone.

  Xia Jingxing was a little unhappy. He showed you to visit the company again, and promised to provide you with entrepreneurial support. In the end, you even hit the idea of ​​​​one acre of my house, which is really a bit of an inch.

  Lei Jun said with an embarrassed expression: "Mr. Xia, I really have no other way, it's impossible to go to the Wisdom Fruit Company to poach people, right?

   Both of us are in Zhongguancun, so close to each other, and the neighbors lead the way, so we can discuss anything.

   I was just afraid of your misunderstanding, so I came here to apologize to you first.

  Don't worry, I will not dig together with a team, that may cause trouble for you. "

  Xia Jingxing felt angry and funny, as expected of Mr. Lei, he was a very particular person.

   Facing Lei Jun's hopeful eyes, Xia Jingxing did not get angry in the end, after all Lei Jun was so frank, he seemed a bit petty when he got angry.

   "As long as you don't violate the non-compete agreement, it's your freedom to poach people.

   Also, executives cannot be dug! "

  Lei Jun smiled, "Mr. Xia, don't worry, we can't afford to dig up the executives, so we will get a small R&D team."

  Xia Jingxing sighed, "Don't stare at Fuxing Mobile, when our company was first established, we also sought "borrowed" talents from big companies like Motorola and Nokia.

   Or else, you can also "borrow" some people from them? "

  Lei Jun said with a smile: "We only recruited a few people from Fuxing mobile phones, and most of them went to other friends to borrow them."

   Seeing that Lei Jun is quite up-to-date, Xia Jingxing lost his anger and replied, "There are no guns or cannons, the enemy made it for us!"

   "It makes sense!"

  Lei Jun saw that several goals of the trip were basically achieved, and he was very happy on his face.

  Xia Jingxing has a feeling that a big era is coming. Rice mobile phones have appeared. Will products such as Michao and WeChat still be far away?
