Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

The 2013 IT Leaders Summit was held in the old place. The Ministry of Information, Guangdong Province, and the Pengcheng government all attended the event in person, focusing on "IT innovation promotes human progress".

Qu Li has been doing great things, but he hates this kind of grand narrative. Human progress is the choice of the times and society, not the arrangement of a few elites. Just like WeChat did not come out, when the mobile Internet was not popular, who would have thought of mobile payment?

Although Qu Li doesn’t want to show off, the reality is cruel. The contradiction between WeChat and operators is getting bigger and bigger. The head of the engineering department said: He will consider the reasonable requirements of operators, such as charging fees to WeChat. The boss of a certain operator also said: Today's free is for tomorrow's charges.

The media generally believe that WeChat can transmit information and voice, has the characteristics of basic telecommunications services, and is a "virtual operator" without a license.

Qu Li can only respond positively to these remarks and deny them. The Ministry of Information released a draft for comments involving virtual operators this year. All parties have their own imaginations. Some people are proactive, while others disagree.

Qu Li doesn't care about this, the operator is his own son, will they really affect the interests of drought and flood protection? Anyway, judging from the final results, no company has really started the virtual operator business.

However, there are still many people discussing the issue of WeChat fees. Ma Yun said: Technology was free 10 years ago, but it cannot continue to be free now.

Qu Li’s charge for WeChat is just a tactic, until the popularization of 4G network and the rollout of Honor’s KMS push service. The so-called signaling problem is no longer a problem of WeChat, and Honor is still relatively strong. supplier.

His method is to find someone to share the pressure and charge fees. Goose Factory QO, which has a larger user scale than WeChat, cannot be spared. Once some money starts to be collected, it will not stop. We must not let Shiguang WeChat start this.

Then talk about the traffic growth brought about by WeChat text, breakthrough, audio, and video content.

"Softbank's Sun Zhengyi said that the revenue model of operators will change from voice and text messages to traffic-based, and many adjustments have been made in this way..." Qu Li carefully maintains the relationship with operators, and does not offend or please.

Then we discussed the internationalization of WeChat. As the mobile instant messaging application with the most users in the world, WeChat has created history.

"Why are you so successful every time you internationalize?" Someone asked Qu Li

"Is it successful? Shopee is only ranked fourth in the United States. Everyone only sees our success. The internationalization of many of our projects is not considered a success." Qu Li

"Then how did you get global users to accept Honor and Time WeChat?"

"Internet companies naturally have global attributes, and the domestic situation is special. I just haven't forgotten that I am a fish living in the sea. Uh, is that appropriate?" Qu Li looked at the leaders at the scene, and no one expressed any objection.

"How do you deal with the outside world's doubts about Glory and Time WeChat? I heard that people in Nanyue, Wanwan, and Dongying have questioned that Time WeChat is a monitoring tool." Ma Huateng

Qu Li glanced at it unexpectedly, and the ones who care most about him are always friends and businessmen: "Communicate honestly and eliminate misunderstandings." He is a big V on Twitter, can directly face consumers around the world, and has assistants who will give immediate feedback on important information.

Of course, what he said was just high-sounding words, and frank communication is a dignified and righteous way, but if he wants to get through, he still can't do it with his influence in Europe and the United States, and the kingly way needs to be overbearing. Investing in advertising to buy media, supporting online trolls, entrusting local third parties to do brand maintenance, all kinds of methods are used without taboos, unlike Qu Li who has always followed the rules in China.

Another hot spot at the summit is that Ma Yun will step down as CEO of Ali on May 10 this year. He himself said: Retirement has been thought about for nine years, planned for six years, and implemented for three years. He also said: People are not born into this world to work. We enjoy life.

Well, there is no conflict between 996 Tiger and Leopard and enjoying life.

Looking at Ma Yun on the stage pointing out the country, Qu Li found that the differences between himself and him are getting bigger and bigger, and there are also some things that remain the same, such as "borrowing fakes to cultivate the truth": the so-called vision, mission and ideal, these things are achieved through systems and processes. It was cultivated little by little. The company's assessment, system construction, including team building and meetings, etc., are for the purpose of "using fakes to cultivate the truth", identifying and screening talents, and training teams.

It's a pity that today's Ma Yun said: People are managed, and the best factor for a company is the recruitment of employees. To turn ordinary people into extraordinary is the only way to return from dream to reality.

Then someone asked Qu Li, he is also recognized as a "management master" in China, "Zhongtai" has become popular in China and abroad, and many companies and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley are discussing "Zhongtai".

"I think adults don't need to be cultivated, they can only evolve themselves. That's why I say empowerment: create conditions and environments, give them time to grow, and rely on self-driven." Qu Li explained his management thinking, which is also As part of the competition for talents, those with strong self-control ability are more likely to succeed in Jumei Glory, but there are also some people who really need to be managed, so it is not Qu Li's management.

"Ma Yun is going to retire, when will you stand in front of the stage and take over as CEO?"

"I am now the CEO of Future Geometry." Qu Li's simple words have broken the defenses of many people. Jumei and Glory are the best Internet technology companies in China. enterprise.

"Is it possible for you to become the CEO of Jumei or Glory?" Someone is still not reconciled

"I have actually answered this matter positively. I will give up my super voting rights at the right time. The growth of Jumei and Glory is more important than my becoming CEO. In Glory, the market value exceeds 300 billion U.S. dollars, and Jumei's market value exceeds 1,000 billion U.S. dollars. After 100 million US dollars, I may promote the adjustment of the company's organizational structure, and I do not rule out the possibility of stepping down as the chairman." Qu Li is preparing to retreat behind the scenes, and the status of bamboo chair of the Stars Foundation may be his most important title in the future.

Qu Li's indifferent attitude is really annoying. The only private enterprise with a domestic market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars is Glory, and there are only a handful of companies with a global market value of more than 300 billion U.S. dollars. Is Qu Li inflated?

There was no explanation, and these people didn't ask about the Honor three-piece suit. Although smart wearable watches and drones are very popular, only Honor has made it. What can I do?

Sure enough, Qu Li is not suitable to appear on this kind of occasion, how can he brag when he is around? No one can escape his shadow. Qu Li's existence is too buggy!

So he took the initiative to hide aside and handed over the stage to others, listening to them say that the Internet is changing the financial industry, Ma Yun wants to make banks nervous, his good friend, a bearded man said: China is already the largest mobile Internet market, But it does not mean that China is the most advanced business model.

Qu Li couldn't help but say a few more words: "We are doing something that makes banks nervous. We want to make everyone's life better through the mobile Internet. I can't say anything else. I believe that on a global scale, we can The best mobile payment can only be done in the Chinese market..."
