Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

To the highest point Shigatse

Standing on top of the Himalayas

It’s snowing heavily in the east

Heavy snow is falling by the Mohe River

Go to the far west to recall the smoke of wolf smoke

The wind turns in circles in Kashgar

To the southernmost blue sky

In the New Year's Eve speech in 2016/17, Qu Li sang the majestic "Mountains and Rivers". This was his first taste of rap. Judging from the scene, the effect was quite good.

This is his ninth New Year's Eve speech. The novelty has long since disappeared. It's amazing that he can persevere. He is a little bored now, so he can't get excited and can only cheer himself up with one song.

"In order to write this song, you don't know how much effort I put in. I flew from east to west and north to south, and got a bird's eye view of this great river and mountains on a private plane." After Qu Li finished singing, netizens quickly Just as he deciphered the hidden meaning behind this sentence, the private jet he bought arrived. Others thought he was extravagant and flew around China just to write a song.

“2016 is truly an unforgettable year. Honor is likely to become the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, Time Jumei’s market value exceeds that of industry leader Amazon, and Qianqiange breaks the market suppression of joint venture cars and wins the trust of the market and consumers. Trust, the Qiancheng Mitsubishi Motors Alliance was formed, and Galaxy Power's Suzaku-1 was successfully launched..."

"I don't know how you feel. Anyway, I'm happy for myself and our team, hahaha~~~" Qu Li laughed for a while, and the audience applauded.

"I never thought that I would achieve what I have today, and I even have a lot of doubts about how these companies grew to the scale they are today. It's definitely not that I, Qu Li, have extraordinary abilities. In fact, the more I have interacted with them, the more His knowledge, insights and abilities are mediocre, and his execution ability is even worse.”

"Why were Time Jumei, Glory, Future Future, and Galaxy Power successful at that time? I thought about it for a long time and found some reasons. Let's see if they make sense."

"First of all, it was good luck. The two largest companies chose the right industry at the right time. I remember that in the first few years, the clothing direct sales industry was favored by venture capital, e-commerce was developing at a rapid pace, and our Taobao The store is a clothing direct sales e-commerce company..."

"I started writing novels before Taobao stores developed. By chance, I participated in Ning Hao's movie "Comet". After I came back, I re-examined our Taobao store from another perspective. shop and e-commerce industry, and summarized the three elements of e-commerce of goods, prices and services..."

"The establishment of Honor is related to "Win in China". At that time, in order to prove myself, I gave full play to my imagination. Later, I met Professor Wang Jian and strengthened my idea. So I came up with the idea of ​​​​making a smartphone, but to actually do it, I still have to Thanks to Bridges. Without him, I would not have known Mr. Schmidt, the CEO of Google, nor would I have established Honor so early, and then Zhou Shaoning and Li Yinan..."

"Thinking about it now, whoever was doing e-commerce in 2004 would have had a great chance of success. As for making smartphones in 2006, of course it was a bit risky, but at that time "Comet" was a box office success, and I suddenly felt good. It’s money…”

"Oh, to put it a long way, Jumei's e-commerce business is in line with the trend of the times, and Honor smartphones are pioneering or subverting an industry. Together with Apple's iPhone, we have formed a trend..."

"Luck is very important. In addition to luck, of course it is talents and a team composed of talents. Lin Bing and Lu Qi, who are beautiful over time, Li Yinan and Lei Jun who are glorious, I don't know where the luck comes from, haha, thank you Trust..." Qu Li bent down and bowed

“In addition to luck and team, there is also the need to master core competitiveness. Shiangjumei’s advantage comes from Shiguangyun and Jumei Logistics. WeChat, Instagram and Guge are of course also important, but they are all icing on the cake and can increase our upper limit. The lower limit cannot be guaranteed..."

"Honor's core competitiveness comes from our ability to ensure the security of the supply chain. The reason why we decided to develop our own chips was due to Texas Instruments' control over chip supply. The reason for supporting BOE was because of the reduction in the supply of Samsung AMOLED screens. One after another, we We have to pay attention to supply chain security.”

"Of course, Samsung and Qualcomm are our friends now. We develop our own chips, support BOE to ensure the supply of high-quality screens, and now invest in some more basic areas, all to ensure the security of the supply chain, not In order to reduce costs. It is very important to make friends with outstanding companies around the world, and we believe that creating an excellent product is more important than developing it ourselves to control costs..."

There is something in Qu Li's words, does it matter what the purpose is? The result is that you invest heavily in "self-research" and take the initiative. Then I decided to do basic research. What are the directions and goals? The easiest one to think of is the operating system.

Microsoft uses the Rust language to rewrite the Windows kernel, and Google uses the Rust language to rewrite key Android security components. Honor will develop their own operating system kernel in the Rust language in advance. There is no need to say this out loud, just use it as a "spare tire" secretly.

"Both Time Jumei and Honor are very successful, but we cannot be complacent. We must also see the gap in core business. Amazon's e-commerce business has obvious advantages around the world except China, especially cloud computing..." Qu Li said that he looked at the forecasts. Amazon's sales this year will be about 136 billion US dollars, and Shopee's sales will be about 27 billion US dollars (it seems that last year it was 25 billion US dollars, eBay this year will only be 84 billion US dollars, Shopee's 2015 sales It’s too high and unreasonable, so change it to US$22 billion)

"Apple is a very good company, and Cook is a very good CEO. They have a lot to learn from, such as brand building..."

"Not only that, there are many excellent Internet technology companies in the United States...many of them are in Silicon Valley, and it is very easy to cooperate. We are across the Pacific Ocean. When we sent the email, they were already off work and wanted to have an impromptu meeting. No one can be found.”

"In addition, our basic research is weak, whether it is chip design, operating system, or programming language, as well as support for the global open source ecosystem..."

"We need to make up for some shortcomings from the basics. Since no one in China is willing to do it, let's start with us. There is also the exploration of the future. We all know that artificial intelligence is the future, but when it will be implemented is unknown, and What is the key to developing artificial intelligence? I think it should be algorithms and computing power, which requires our efforts..."

"I know Time Gathers Beauty and Glory are excellent, but everyone really still has a lot of room for growth and a lot of work to do. Especially in an increasingly complex world situation, we need to pay more attention to different cultural backgrounds and Risk prevention in market environment.”

"Perhaps you haven't noticed that China is already the second largest economy in the world. Just like during the rise of Glory and Time Jumei, many friends and businessmen created all kinds of troubles for us. By the same token, I don't think... "

"What I mean is that in the process of actively forging ahead, you can make more friends, but you must pay attention to guarding against risks and crises from all aspects." Qu Liruo said pointedly.
