Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

With the beauty by his side, Qu Li stayed in the United States for a while longer to attend the Sun Valley Summit and communicate with more American friends.

During this period, of course, I looked around, such as HP. Well, no, it should be Huiyo. After HP was spun off in 2014, HP and HPE will focus on enterprise-level IT solutions, infrastructure, software and cloud services. In addition, the consumer-oriented business will inherit the HP brand and will continue to develop HP's two traditional hardware businesses, PC and printing.

There is a reason why Shijimei can cooperate with HP in the cloud computing business. After the spin-off of HP, HP and CEO Meg Whitman started a sell-sell model and prepared to sell off H3C, the domestic enterprise network leader.

Why sell this profitable business? This is related to information security. Without Qu Li's involvement, H3C was historically sold to Ziguang. However, because of his interference, Ziguang failed to acquire Spreadtrum, did not enter the chip design industry, and did not obtain large funds and China Development Bank. low-interest loans, so they were not tempted by H3C.

H3C's enterprise network business can be said to be cloud computing infrastructure, and it still has value. However, after contacting many domestic companies, the negotiated conditions failed to meet HP's requirements. At this time, Time Jumei appeared, and Qu Li was A well-known rich man.

The leader of the global enterprise network is Cisco, followed by Chrysanthemum Factory, followed by a bunch of small companies. The market size is similar to that of H3C. However, the enterprise network market has certain sensitivity, and Qu Li didn't want to get involved, and felt it was a pity.

So Vision Fund and Xiangjiang Investment were asked to acquire the company, and the management rights were still handed over to the original management, and employees were promised to hold shares while letting them work to pay off debts.

Because the money of these two private equity investment institutions is not their own, some comes from trust funds, some insurance funds, private investments, bank loans, etc., totaling 5 billion US dollars and about 32.5 billion soft sister coins.

Although it is said that H3C is responsible for the interest and the principal is released through the stock market, Qu Li's initiative to operate such a project is definitely charity, so it is normal to make some demands. Chrysanthemum Factory is Honor's most threatening competitor in China. Of course, he did not want H3C to continue to use the name of Chrysanthemum Factory, so he changed its name to "Huashan", or Huashan Communications for short.

Most of the initial employees of Huasanjue came from the Chrysanthemum Factory, but after so many years, now they just keep their names without investing. If they want money, they have to change their names. They want a "mountain" that is homophonic to "three". Qu Li feels that he is enough He was kind, but in the eyes of H3C employees, he was a bit wicked.

In the end, it seems needless to say how H3C employees choose. Qu Li’s reasons are also very sufficient: “Do you want to survive in the shadow of Chrysanthemum Factory and Cisco, licking their leftovers; or do you want to surpass Chrysanthemum Factory? Become an industry leader.”

"I can't help a company that is content with mediocrity..."

It was obviously aimed at the chrysanthemum factory, but he still stood on a moral high ground with righteous words, which made people speechless. Qu Li's ability to play tricks became more and more shameless.

Spending US$5 billion at one time comes at a price. HP will invest part of it in the joint venture cloud computing company they established to help Time Cloud develop the American market, not only North America, but also South America.

It is hard to imagine that there is no undersea fiber optic cable connecting directly to China in South America. You don’t need to think about it to know who is causing the obstruction. No matter what the considerations were, Qu Li knew that Shiguangyun would not have a great future in North America, but it was different in South America. He had to find a way.

The submarine optical fiber connecting Asia Pacific and South America cannot be completed in the short term, but what about the submarine optical fiber connecting South America to Europe? Time, Glory and others have joined forces to develop undersea optical fiber from Asia-Pacific to Europe. By then...

Qu Li and Meg Whitman learned about the operating status of Huiyu and her plans for the cloud computing business, while consulting on the details of the spin-off to see what they could learn from. The most important thing is that Shiguang Cloud is provided with technical support by a Chinese Internet technology company. This is rare in history. There have always been internal objections from Huiyu.

In addition, when H3C entered the U.S. market, it was considered a Chinese company, and in the Chinese market, it was considered a U.S. company. So is HP's Helion public cloud business a U.S. cloud or a Chinese cloud?

There is nothing that is not easy to do. Fortunately, Time Jumei can now bear a certain amount of losses, and it is ambitious and team members are willing to expand markets around the world.

As a star, Liu Yifei couldn't work with him, but his enthusiasm every night was quite useful to him. Things at work were progressing relatively smoothly, which made him very excited.

There is also bad news. For example, Nike is very dissatisfied with the Cavaliers' defeat. They believe that Xiangyun and the Golden State Warriors are too involved and unfair, and they want to use the NBA to let Qu Li transfer the Warriors' shares.

"You talk as if you are innocent..." Qu Li was very unhappy. Even the World Cup can be manipulated. Do you really think the NBA is innocent?

Who doesn’t know that off-market moves are useful, but if a Chinese company really wants to do something bad in the United States, it will definitely be investigated, and when it is arrested, it will not be at the mercy of others...

However, this also reminded him that he must keep a certain distance from the company and not let some subordinates who are eager for quick success get involved. There are some things that the boss will definitely not do. For example, with the pattern of the president of the Chrysanthemum Factory, he will definitely not do it. Let Yu Dazui slander his friends and businessmen, but...

"How are we going to respond?"

"What do you think, Joe Lacob?"

"No objection, he believes in us..."

"What do you believe?" Qu Li has never interfered with the operation of the Golden State Warriors. As for whether others have done anything with the help of their status as major shareholders, he doesn't know, so he doesn't particularly care about Joe Lacob's thoughts.

"Tell him that I will not always hold shares in the Golden State Warriors." Qu Li felt that his purpose of investing in the Golden State Warriors was basically achieved and exceeded. A slight increase in market value was not enough to attract him and continue to stay. The NBA has little effect. After all, this is an American sports game.

"who?"

"Lacobu! I will not transfer it all at once..." Qu Li

There are many tycoons in China who are eager for the NBA. It is said that WuXi had the idea of ​​acquiring an NBA team, but unfortunately it did not succeed.

At this time, there are no documents restricting investment in sports clubs in China. Selling to domestic tycoons is a good thing for everyone. At least the investment price is high and no money will be lost. However, they may not necessarily qualify, as all team equity transactions require league approval and board of directors approval.

Maybe most of the shares will be sold to Americans. Qu Li doesn't have much idea about this, and he is not reluctant to give up. He is an entrepreneur and businessman, and buying an NBA team is like buying a large toy.

Soon the time for the Sun Valley Summit in July came. Qu Li was invited to attend and met the CEO of Sony, two Asians. He was vaguely excluded. Qu Li was far less popular than the last time he attended! (End of chapter)
