Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Domestic Internet companies have other names, such as Goose Factory, Cat Factory, Pig Farm, Dog Factory, Bear Factory, Grain Factory, etc. What about Jumei?

Qu Li thought about this problem for a long time, and created a mascot for Jumei: Minion, who has a strange talent for messing up things, has a strong acting talent, and likes cosplay. Actually carefree, energetic, silly and cute...

I don’t know about Minion’s self-search. Anyway, this single-celled creature is extremely cute. For this reason, Jumei and Shopee have also established accounts on mainstream social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Weibo. They publish comics, which are short of publishing them on YouTube. Animated video.

Some people still ask whose work this is, of course it is Chen Danlin's idea, although it doesn't need to be a girly persona all day long, but there must be something impressive. Minions are not the official logos of Jumei and Shopee, but the dolls promoted by Sun Moon Fenghua. The price is not cheap, and they have applied for global patents and copyrights.

Qu Li is busy with work, so it is impossible to run the minion brand himself, so he can only pay attention to it from time to time, just like the Hatsune Miku who is stocked in Japan.

It’s not that Qu Li is lazy, there are really many things. Recently, a trouble has appeared: the sales of Honor mobile phones have increased greatly, BYD’s electronic production capacity has expanded, and there have been many problems in quality control and safety. Thousands of units of Honor G2 were ordered to resell.

If you should be fined, you will be sent to jail if you should be fined. There is no sympathy. The conditions of Glory are much more relaxed than those of iPhone. Wang Chuanfu is not as ruthless as Guo Taiming, so the gap naturally widens.

In order to ensure that there are no problems with the supply, Futukang was found to share the pressure for BYD Electronics.

Qu Li went to Pengcheng to put pressure on Brother Boatman. It is difficult to guarantee a production capacity of 20 million yuan a year. The backlash brought by choosing BYD is very obvious. Fu Tukang also seemed to know the situation, and taunted BYD and Wang Chuanfu from the air.

Lei Jun also came to Pengcheng. This incident had a bad impact, but fortunately it did not affect the delivery.

"If you can't do well, the glory can only go to Futukang..."

Qu Li felt that he was tolerant enough to BYD, and he didn't bother them in the accident last time. Although the destructive power this time is not as good as last time, it is really bad.

"There will be no next time, I promise." The boatman brother is also wronged

"What's the use of making a promise to me? Mr. Wang won't be able to survive without BYD because of glory, right? Would you like us to teach you how to manage it?" Qu Li was not really angry. He knew that some things were unavoidable. There is a litter, very worrying.

After venting a few words, we still have to solve the problem after all, set a strict management system, do a good job of safety training, and punish the perpetrators severely. It is said that many people complain about BYD's management on the Internet, and nepotism is serious. The protagonist of the stolen incident this time is really related.

A lawyer was arranged to follow up, and Qu Li and Lei Jun left. They really had to make two-handed preparations, just like Apple’s supply chain companies generally have two or three companies, which is normal and logical, and there is only one supplier for those key components. On the contrary, it is heterogeneous.

Back to Glory, everyone discussed the matter of manufacturing OEMs, and having a factory of their own once again entered the scope of everyone's discussion.

"Forget it, we still have a lot to do, and the foundry's priority is not enough."

Su Zifeng helped them set up a mobile phone chip design department in Silicon Valley. It was impossible to start from scratch. He always had to acquire several powerful small and medium-sized enterprises, not only to develop mobile phone processors, but also to develop ISP (image signal processing) chips. The key to improving the ability of mobile phones to take pictures.

As for the investment in chip research and development, it is actually not very high. MediaTek seems to have not started, and only a few companies such as Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Samsung can provide mobile phone processors. Moreover, they all purchase the public version IP of ARM. At this time, the gap between everyone is not too big.

And Qu Li knows the general direction. He knows that the chip design should move towards advanced manufacturing process, stack parameters, high performance and low power consumption. Honor's chip is now using the public version, and the bottom layer needs to be modified in the future. This can somewhat reduce Su Zifeng's choices. Difficult.

Chips, cars, and operating systems need to be developed. With Honor's current profit margins, it is still a bit stretched.

"If we postpone the development of the operating system, there will be no suitable candidates now." Lei Jun said cautiously, a genius who guarantees a good direction is more important than 100 coders. How can there be a genius for developing an operating system with domestic accumulation?

"..." Qu Li was in a dilemma, the operating system was not so important.

Honor sold 10 million mobile phones last year, with a net profit of US$50 per mobile phone, which is US$500 million, but it has been invested in the supply chain and special equipment. Although he successfully issued corporate bonds worth US$500 million, he has invested US$200 million in the auto industry and US$300 million in chip research and development. The operating system needs people, especially top talents, otherwise it will be difficult to function.

In fact, Juyun Technology has been cultivating and recruiting elite talents in Linux, database, etc., but you can’t poach Jumei’s corner for the sake of glory, right?

"If Zhang Yaqin can be recruited from Microsoft, I will let Changfeng Automobile be fully responsible for the development of pure electric vehicles." Qu Li made a compromise and made Lei Jun more difficult.

Zhang Yaqin was a young genius at the University of Science and Technology of China in his early years. Later, he joined Microsoft and became the boss of the China Women's Research Institute. He is a very representative technical expert in China and has a symbolic effect. Qu Li didn't know his technical ability, but this person can really join It can become a banner of glory.

"You are asking too much."

"If there is no one of Zhang Yaqin's level to join, the investment in the operating system will not be very large, just a lot of people and time." Qu Li will not be easily fooled

"Then I'll try to ask him out." Someone on Glory's side is a big guy from Microsoft.

Putting aside the matter of the operating system for the time being, the notebook computer developed by Honor has already had a prototype, using an Intel i7 chip, the price is close to 300 US dollars, and the i5 is not yet on the market, it is about 200 US dollars. According to the chip price multiplied by 2.5, the price of the Honor notebook will be set at between US$699, US$599 and US$499.

Qu Li opened it and tried it. The all-aluminum body exudes metallic luster. It is similar to Lianxiang Xiaoxin. It is a thin and light laptop. It is equipped with Windows 7 beta version. The boot time can be controlled within 10 seconds. He What I wanted was basically achieved.

"How is this laptop, is there anything to improve?" Lei Jun

"How to install apps for Honor G2 through this laptop?" Qu Li is not a detail control person, but he is very concerned about this

"Everyone is hesitating between near-field communication methods such as WIFI, Bluetooth, and NFC."

"Use them all." Qu Li didn't care about technology, he didn't understand anyway.

"One-touch transmission cannot be realized without NFC, but NFC is not widely used, and the transmission speed is very limited. If you add all three together, if you want to play a role, the energy consumption will be difficult to control..."

"Let's decide quickly, when will Microsoft..." Qu Li

"I don't know, it may have to wait until the second half of this year..." Lei Jun

After looking at the notebook computer, and then the mobile phone, the processor of the Honor G3 will not change, the performance upgrade is the memory capacity, the camera, the screen, etc., may be equipped with Android 2.0, and the user experience is greatly limited.

There is no way but to develop a new Honor mate series, which is the main business flagship, and the price is slightly lower than the Honor G fashion series. At the same time, Honor’s new notebook will be named Honor MateBook.

There are more products, but the mood is even heavier.
