Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

"I was determined to make a mobile phone by myself at the launch of Apple's iPhone. I happened to meet Mr. Schmidt, the CEO of Google, and knew that Google was developing Android, so I tried my best to cooperate with Google..."

Qu Li was interviewed by the media in the United States, and talked about the origin of Honor G1. He went through hardships in China, made various promises, and his throat was swollen because of bragging, and finally formed a very good team in China.

"Honor just did hardware integration and optimization. Without the support of Google and the Android team, we could not have made such an excellent product in such a short period of time. This is an Android that surpasses the iPhone and beats all non-smart phones. smartphone……"

"Do you think this phone belongs to Google or Honor?"

"I think this Honor mobile phone is like most Americans. The body may come from all over the world, but the heart yearns for..." Qu Li almost vomited. This is to please the Americans.

Otherwise, what can he say? As a filial son and grandson of the United States, Dongying can't control the operating system. Does anyone think that the Reborn can change the international competition pattern and let the Huawei Hongmeng system replace Android in the American market? Wake up and sleep, all scientific and technological progress takes time, and more importantly, a strong motherland is needed.

When it was the domestic media's turn to interview him, of course he would not be so exaggerated. Speaking of Zhou Shaoning and Li Yinan were the key to the establishment of Honor, Google's support was also very important.

"I only played a small role in the series. After the establishment of Glory Company, I was only thought of when it needed money." Qu Li joked

"Don't you feel wronged?"

"Why are you wronged? It's a beautiful thing that no one else can think of. One day Jumei and Glory don't need me anymore, so I can lie down and make money, isn't it good?"

I quickly skipped this topic and asked when the Honor G1 will be sold in China.

"It should be early next year at the earliest. We are a new company and do not have sufficient manpower and material resources to expand channels. There is a high probability that we will cooperate with domestic operators, but the decision-making power is not ours..." Qu Li is very humble to domestic operators

No matter which China Mobile Unicom has a world-class user scale, and its sales network spreads all over the country, operator procurement is the largest source of profit for most domestic brands. It's a pity that operators' support for domestic brands was not as successful as Monternet. If Monternet hadn't existed at the beginning of the century, Penguin and the three major portal websites at that time might have died young.

"I heard that you have invested in the Facebook of the United States. Is this true?" A reporter asked about an Internet rumor.

"It's true. In order to sell sneakers in the United States, I wanted to find a website with long-term cooperation, and finally chose Facebook and Twitter..."

"I heard that you bought shares in Facebook in July at a valuation of US$5 billion. When Microsoft bought shares in October, Facebook's market value was US$15 billion. What did you think at that time? Many outsiders said that Facebook was not worth the price."

"Microsoft thinks it's worth it, and I think it's enough. I don't care what other people think of this investment. If you know shopee, you won't think Jumei is worthless?"

Because Jumei was about to go public, Qu Li's publicity focused on Jumei, deliberately downplaying his identity as the founder of Glory. And what is Jumei worth promoting? Founder's identity, inspirational and legendary experience, coconut shoes, shopee, and C2M e-commerce model.

That's right, Jumei has evolved again, from clothing e-commerce to C2M e-commerce, directly connecting consumers to factories, and it is also an incubator for brands...

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, anyway, Qu Li needs to be familiar with this set of persuasion methods, so that he can go out and brag, and attract Wall Street investors with a bigger vision and a bigger imagination.

"The biggest advantage of Jumei is to reduce the cost of commodity circulation. There is no middleman to make the difference, and the best product is provided at the lowest price, returning to the product itself..."

In fact, Jumei threw some products that did not conform to the brand positioning to the "Xia" brand, because this was the first dynasty of Zhongying, and it was the beginning of changing 800 million shirts for an airplane, so it focused on high-quality and low-cost products. All kinds of groceries use the Chinese character trademark logo. For this reason, he also specially purchased the used version of a certain font.

"Where did you get the money to invest in Facebook?" Suddenly a reporter asked

This is really a sharp question. He is a junior high school student and an orphan. It is said that he invested 50 million US dollars in Facebook, and spent tens of millions to establish Glory. How could he have so much money? Could it be the illegitimate child of a wealthy family, the white gloves of the rich and powerful, there is too much room for imagination in this.

"This matter started in 2004. To put it simply, there are always people in this world who are willing to believe in my ability and my judgment."

"To give an example, shortly after Penguin went public, I increased leverage and bought a lot of stocks around 3.5 yuan. I sold them when I held them at around 30 yuan, and then increased my position in Sino-Ocean. In China, I started holding Chinese stocks in 2005. Speaking of securities, in March this year, I bought a lot of stocks in China Shipbuilding, but by September, I cleared all the stocks..."

Fuck, stock god, the reporter who interviewed Qu Li was shocked. He thought he was the god of business, but he didn't expect to be the stock god.

"Why, the A shares are still rising..." the reporter asked weakly

"There are two reasons. One is that I personally think that the A-share bubble is too big. Normally, it should be able to maintain around 3,000 points, but now the Shanghai Composite Index is at 6,000 points. I can't find a reason to stay. The other is Lack of money..." Qu Li still hopes that the A-share leeks will lose less money, and let them think about the rest after talking about so much, he still wants to promote Jumei and Shopee.

In less than an hour after the 2G version of the Honor G1 was launched, 2,000 units of the phone were sold out, and then the website crashed due to too many user visits.

Three days later, a large number of users received their mobile phones and started sending videos to YouTube. Those who have WiFi at home or are not short of money, even shoot videos directly with their mobile phones and upload them to YouTube, and the display effect is actually not bad.

Of course, there are guides, recommending videos praising Honor G1 to more people. For example, Qu Li himself uploaded a promotional video on his YouTube account, showing the superior performance of Honor G1 from various aspects.

At this time, the full touch-screen mobile phone like the iPhone that gave up the physical keyboard has not yet dominated, and the concept of a full-screen mobile phone has not yet appeared. The Blackberry used by Aoguanhai for show has a full keyboard, which represents a trend at this time. Even without the guidance of Glory, there would have been more positive comments on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Honor G1 has achieved initial success. Qu Li shifted his energy to the listed underwriter of Jumei Shopee. Only Lehman Brothers was obviously not enough. Among the many candidates, he chose HSBC and Goldman Sachs. His reputation and sincerity are large enough. .
