Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Xiao Guliang, surnamed Liu, is quite talkative. She just starred in a movie called "The King of Kung Fu". The two producers of this movie, one is Huayi Brothers, and the other is Li Lianjie and Cheng Long. A production company was established, and filming started in May 2007. At that time, China Film Group started two major projects, "Source Code" and "Red Cliff".

The North American distributor of "The King of Kung Fu" is Lionsgate Films, and I don't know if it was influenced by Qu Li, or it was originally the case. This movie has nothing to do with Qu Li, but it does not prevent him from chatting with Xiao Guliang, surnamed Liu.

Qu Li talked about the "Comet" he filmed and "Red Cliff" he participated in the production of, and then used his half-baked level to analyze the actors and acting skills, and then asked Xiao Guliang to analyze from a professional point of view and give his own opinion.

"Actually, what I wanted to do most before starting a business was to be a director, to present the dreams in my mind one by one in the form of images." After chatting for a while, the topic shifted to what he is good at.

"Then why don't you become a director anymore?" Xiao Guliang asked curiously

"In the beginning, it was to make money. I have no professional background and no connections. Only by making money first can I have the opportunity to realize my dream."

"Didn't your global box office of "Comet" exceed 300 million US dollars?"

"Without money, it is impossible to have this result. Do you think that Lionsgate is responsible for the promotion of "Comet" in North America? I paid for it myself, and met some friends by chance..."

"Oh, so I thought the company was responsible, so now..."

"Now, after finishing the "Red Cliff" project, I won't be involved in film and television production for a short time. I really don't have so much time."

"And I found that entrepreneurship is also very interesting. If filmmaking is a virtual dream, then entrepreneurship is to turn dreams into reality..."

What Xiaoguliang said in a few words is brilliant again and again, so amazing.

"do you know?"

"what do you know?"

"I found one thing: Karen Mok's cloudy day, Stefanie Sun's rainy day, and Jay Chou's sunny day are not as good as...you chatting with me." Qu Li carefully looked at Liu Xiaoguliang

"What did you say..." Liu Xiaoguliang blushed

"Do you smell anything?" Qu Li continued

"No."

"Why do I feel that the air becomes sweeter when you come out!"

"Hehe~~" The little beauty almost couldn't laugh out loud

"I gotta go!"

"Where are you going?"

"I want to walk into your heart." After Qu Li finished speaking, he really left, leaving Xiao Guliang standing there dumbfounded.

Qu Li found out with conscience that, as Liu Guniang's face fan, he had liked her for more than ten years after all, and he was afraid that one day he would really miss her and waste the innocent feelings of these ten years.

Back at the hotel, I stayed alone in the vacant room again, and reported today's whereabouts to Chen Danlin, chatting aimlessly without mentioning missing her.

"My parents have come to Yangcheng."

"Oh, that's good, have a good time during the Spring Festival, and pay attention to safety on the road."

"Aren't you coming back for the Spring Festival?"

"I'm not going back, I'm too busy here."

"Oh, I see." Chen Danlin said disappointedly

The next day I came to Honor to continue working. The chip from Texas Instruments was in place, and the Honor mobile phone was finally ready for delivery. The purchase volume in the United States and Germany both increased. Honor aggressively set the final output at 2 million units, of which 500,000 2G mobile phones are planned to be sold in China. Because it is equipped with a non-removable battery, which increases the difficulty of maintenance, it is necessary to establish after-sales service centers in China, the United States and Germany at the same time.

The domestic pricing of the Honor mobile phone is 2999 and 3399 for the 2G version, and the 3G version is priced at 3599 and 3999, which is temporarily unavailable, which is basically consistent with the sales price abroad. These things are relatively simple. What is complicated is that the management has entered the crooked people, and the company's management has become complicated.

Glory now has no KPI, only OKR target management, and implements flat management, but the number of employees has rapidly expanded to more than 200, and there will be many accumulated problems. Li Yinan, Zhou Shaoning and foreign managers are all on the top.

What about Qu Li? Since Glory is divided into management and technical sequences, of course they have to be treated separately. Technical positions do not distinguish between national gender and race. Half of the company's middle and senior management are guaranteed to be Chinese.

The purpose of this is of course to make Honor more pure, because you can’t imagine Apple, Google and other company headquarters holding meetings in Chinese. At the same time, it also strengthens the importance of China's local market and develops the international market based on the domestic market. Qu Li can't always learn from HTC. If he doesn't want to be a medium-sized enterprise, he will become a large international enterprise, and he will end up with nothing.

“Until the global sales of the Honor G series of mobile phones exceeds 10 million units, we will not consider expanding the product line. If the sales of the G2 are less than 10 million, we will wait for the G3 and do our best to make Android flagship phones.”

"Maintain a good cooperative relationship with our global supply chain companies, and at the same time, suppliers of all components, especially key components, must have a second choice."

"The full keyboard is a transition, and the development direction of the Honor mobile phone is a full-screen bar machine."

"Photography for video games is the focus of the hardware design department..."

"Solving the security, smoothness, and energy saving of the system is the long-term focus of the software department. We need to have certain mobile operating system development capabilities..."

"Currently, the operator channel is the main channel, and the after-sales service system is improved by replacement and repair."

Before the Spring Festival in February 2008, Qu Li emphasized the New Year's work tasks at the Glory meeting, which was also to sort out the increasingly chaotic management.

For foreign executives who do not understand Mandarin Chinese, the company is responsible for arranging an interpreter in the first year, the company pays half of it in the second year, and pays for it themselves after the third year.

Such a decision by Qu Li dissatisfied the directors arranged by Lehman Brothers in the company. It is obvious that the overseas sales revenue is greater and the profit is more. Why must it take root in China? Isn't it good to be an American company?

"Patents, patents, and only patents!" Qu Li emphasized:

"We are a start-up company. Although we have reached patent authorization with major mobile phone companies, our foundation is not stable. The lack of patents that can check and balance other mobile phone companies is our biggest problem. Therefore, sticking to the domestic market is our only choice..."

This matter is obvious. Why is there no emerging mobile phone brand in the international market except Apple? Don’t others know how to take advantage of China’s strong supply chain? Don't underestimate the elites of the company. It is not the cost but the patent that hinders the innovation of the company's start-ups in the traditional industry.

Patents are of course good. They encourage innovation while stifling latecomers. In European and American societies, if wealth can really control rights, then the original intention of the Patent Act will inevitably deteriorate and become the most beneficial weapon to consolidate the competitive advantage of enterprises.

The most typical case is the emergence of a large number of patent rogue companies. After Apple and other companies acquired the patents of Nortel Networks, they packaged those patents that were useless to them, and then established a patent rogue company.

After clearing the source, the International Business Division was established, and foreign executives such as Pavo and Dado were included in it, and while they were not allowed to participate in domestic business, they were given more rights and room for development. For example, after the sales volume of Honor G1 reaches the standard, the international branch can organize and design new mobile phone series by itself under the premise of sharing a set of supply chain and obeying the company's grand strategy.

The whole Spring Festival was spent busy, no, the host friend of the central style gave him a ticket for the Spring Festival Gala.
