Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 129: Eating watermelons on the shore is not as exciting as bending down to join the game
".This is called showing weakness to the enemy!"

"Uh-huh!"

".This is called a public opinion offensive. Oh, you also know this trick."

"Hehe, I know a little bit!"

"But this is just the beginning. Xiao Ma Ge is not a pushover. He sued 360 and Zhou Hongyi directly counter-sued. It's a complete mess."

"So exciting? I'm wasting my time studying!"

"But remember not to wait around like an idiot. The market action below cannot stop. Otherwise, even if you win the lawsuit, the cake will have been eaten by the dogs long ago."

"Wow~ You're wearing something like this? You're absolutely shameless."

"No, I think so too."

In the office, Lei Jun was analyzing the current situation and subsequent direction of the 3Q war to Chen Mo.

As a veteran netizen, how could Lei Jun not care about the most popular 3Q war at the moment? Moreover, since his old enemy is one of the parties, he is watching it with great enthusiasm. Especially after seeing Zhou Hongyi being humiliated, he was beaming with joy. What a reward! You have come to this day, too!

However, he was not satisfied with just watching it by himself. Chen Mo came over and seemed to have something to discuss with him. This put him in a difficult position. It is better to share the joy with others than to enjoy it alone. So Lei Jun put aside the topic and talked to him for a long time.

After all, Xiaomi 1 has already begun to be assembled and manufactured by Inventec, and WeChat has also been launched. The next step is to continue raising funds and become bigger and stronger.

After nearly half a year of hard work, the two finally have a chance to take a break from their busy schedule to eat some gossip about their competitors. How happy they are.

Moreover, Chen Mo was a very good listener, and he would not hesitate to speak when necessary. He would insert his words at the right time, which made him very satisfied.
Lei Jun laughed and said, "Just wait and see. I think this 3Q war will last for a while. It will be interesting later."

Chen Mo scratched his head and chuckled, "If you ask me, it would be better to send a few death squads to the other company's door and pour boiling water on their money trees, smash the fish tank, pull out the network cable, put sacks on them, grab the official seal, or even just pull the big ones out at the door, and get a bunch of reporters to report it. The effect is simple, crude and efficient."

These words directly broke Lei Jun's understanding of business war. His eyes widened as if he met Chen Mo for the first time. Are young people so wild nowadays?

Then he quickly shook his head, threw away these dirty thoughts, and laughed and scolded, "What nonsense! This is a high-end business war. Are you treating it like a shrew scolding on the street? You put on a sack and snatched the official seal. You are so reckless. Do you think this is the rough times of the last century? You are really a jerk!
You kid, watch carefully and learn well! This is all knowledge! You may need it in the future."

Chen Mo rolled his eyes silently in his heart to express his disdain. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. In the end, Brother Xiao Ma was so angry that he still issued a red-clothed killing order. It's not a smart thing to search for the murderer for thousands of miles.

At this point, Lei Jun finally realized, "By the way, why did you come to see me?"

Chen Mo wanted to cry but had no tears. It was almost one o'clock when he came in. Brother, have you finally remembered the important matter?
"Has Inventec given us a timeline for our Xiaomi mobile phone?"

"The prototype will be ready in November and mass production will start in December. Based on the current production volume of 11 units, it will be almost ready after the Spring Festival."

“Are 30 enough?”

Lei Jun was a little bit shocked when he heard this: "Young man, don't be too ambitious and be down-to-earth. Is 30 enough? If we can sell them, Xiaomi will have the qualification to survive. Not enough? I just want 300 million units. With hundreds of millions of dollars in cost, why don't you rob the bank? I guess the underworld bank can meet our needs!"

Chen Mo thought about it and it was true. Now 30 Xiaomi units were not enough. We would talk about it later. Then he asked,

"When will the press conference be held? Before the Spring Festival?"

"New Year's Day! January 1st!"

"So early?"

"Because I got the news that Meizu will release a new phone on that day!"

How could I not know? It seems that you have penetrated the enemy? Chen Mo looked at Lei Jun strangely. Thinking about the origin of the two, it was not surprising why this date was set.

"Finally, I would like to request a budget."

"What budget? What is it for?"

"I plan to use the WeChat promotion fee for offline promotion in the early stage. I have cooperated with them in the promotion channel before, and the effect was great."

"How much do you plan to take?"

"three million!"

Lei Jun, who had been clear just now, immediately turned cloudy. He glanced at Chen Mo and replied unhappily, "Three million? Do you think I look like I have three million?"

Some time ago, various suppliers discussed cooperation, and what they paid was real money, especially the chip cost from Qualcomm, which accounted for nearly a quarter of the total.

Most of the funds raised for the angel round have been used up, and he is now worried about subsequent financing channels.

I feel like all the problems I encounter now are lined up, and as soon as I solve one, the next one will follow immediately.

As a result, this guy asked for three million yuan. Lei Jun was not in a good mood at all.

He now feels a bit stressed out by the number three million.

"There must be one million, right?" Chen Mo looked like he was thinking, no way, could it be that Boss Lei can't even afford this little money.

This time Lei Jun neither agreed nor rejected it. He snorted and said, "Tell me about your subsequent plans for WeChat first."

"It's very simple. Enter the village secretly without firing a shot. So now we use the money to do offline promotion, and invest nothing online. First, spread out WeChat to buy time. Besides, there is the 0Q war in front to attract firepower. This is the best shield. But I think can we do something in the middle to make this fire burn more fiercely?"

Chen Mo's eyes turned, and after hearing Lei Jun's incisive analysis, he came up with some ideas.

Huh? Lei Jun became interested and leaned forward slightly, instantly changing from a company boss to a thunderbolt. "What do you mean? Tell me about it."

"If you were to intervene, which side would you support?"

Lei Jun did not hesitate at all, "It must be Xiao Ma, that Lao Zhou is a gangster leader!"

"That's right, this is also the public's view of you, because you and 360 once had a grudge, but my suggestion is not only to help Tencent, but also to help 360."

"What does that mean?" Lei Jun frowned. There were signs that the CPU was smoking.

Chen Mo directly grabbed the keyboard and mouse of Lei Jun's computer, and searched for some information on it. "Look, in May this year, the former 5 security director Fu Sheng resigned and founded KeNiu Security Software. Although I don't know why, it is certain that the two have some hatred.

Jun, I remember you mentioned before that you invested in KeNiu, right? "

After getting Lei Jun's nod, he said frankly, "I have invested in Ke Niu, but now it seems to be a failed investment."

Chen Mo shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even though Ke Niu is half dead now, Fu Sheng is the operator of 360 Security Guard after all, which is very valuable.

But you have a certain influence on Niu and Jinshan, so you can help them form an alliance, and then talk to Xiao Ma Ge. "

After Chen Mo's guidance, Lei Jun's thoughts gradually became clear. "You mean, Tencent pays and Kingsoft provides the manpower to jointly fight against the invasion from 360."

"This is just one side. On the other side, we are trying to build momentum for 360, making them appear to be evenly matched, and turning the annihilation war into a protracted war!"

"It's not enough for 360 to rely on us to build momentum. Are you sure Zhou Hongyi can withstand Xiao Ma Ge's iron fist?"

"Don't underestimate any shameless opponent! Lao Zhou may be more tenacious than you and I thought."

Lei Jun was excited when he thought of the possible scenario. "In this way, we can find a rich man who can pay for the failed investment in Keniu, and provide a transfusion to Kingsoft, which is running out of money. At the same time, Tencent will be too busy to take care of WeChat, and even YY and UC Browser, which I invested in before, can breathe a sigh of relief."

"Bingo, that's it! Kill three birds with one stone! Let those big guys blow their brains out in the front while we stay calm and don't act recklessly in the back, and develop in a sneaky way!"

No, it was a four-birds-with-one-arrow approach, and the fourth one was to allow Kingsoft's "emperor emeritus" Qiu Bojun to cash out, so that he could ascend the throne as well!
But there is no need to tell Chen Mo about this.

Lei Jun knew that Chen Mo was doing all this for the development of WeChat, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I, Lei Jun, have approved your offline promotion budget of one million for WeChat!"

"The boss is so generous!" Chen Mo pretended to bow.

Lei Jun realized the problem belatedly at this time, "What the hell, you still say you don't understand the 3Q war? Just pretend!"

Seeing Chen Mo laughing and not making excuses, Lei Jun thought of something. "Although you didn't tell me about the MIOS promotion fee last time, I know you paid for it yourself. I'll keep it in mind and make it up to you when I have the chance. After all, I can't take advantage of you. It would make me look like I don't distinguish between public and private."

"That's not necessary. Brother Jun, the 100,000 you said you didn't want before is much more valuable than the MIOS promotion fee."

I will remember this for the rest of my life, Chen Moxin said.

Before leaving, Chen Mo mentioned, "Since the company is short of money now, we can push everyone to hold shares. Now is the critical moment of making mobile phones. It can boost everyone's spirits and restore blood. It's a win!"

"I'll use your reminder. Oh, be prepared. I plan to promote you to vice president of the company."

??? "Will there be a salary increase?" Chen Mo smiled brightly upon hearing this.

"What are you thinking? It's just a promotion, but the salary remains the same!"

The flowers have faded.
“Thank you for your appreciation!”

"Take the order and get out of here. You are not reliable in anything else except work!"

Watching Chen Mo taking the order and stealing a can of Coke from him and running away, Lei Jun sighed secretly. Every time he was in front of this guy, he felt a little powerless. Is he really old?

Then Lei Jun wrote and drew on paper based on what the two had just discussed, and continued to improve the next action plan.

Half an hour later, Chen Mo came out of the finance office, found a small meeting room and called Zhang Changfa.

"Lao Zhang, a new mission has arrived"

"All troops are on the move, and we are on standby at all times. Wherever you are looking, Boss Chen, is the direction we will charge!"

"It's a good thing to want to make progress, but this time it's a mobile chat app called WeChat. I'll have someone send the specific information and promotion strategy to your email address when the time comes."

"Okay, no problem."

"But the payment method this time will be different from the previous times. You will send someone to Xiaomi to sign the contract, and then we will release the money."

"Xiaomi? No wonder. Mr. Chen, we are old friends. You tell me what to do first, and I'll get the brothers to act first. Money is easy to talk about~"

"I'll have someone contact you when the time comes. Oh, by the way, remember! Don't promote in Shenzhen and Guangzhou!"
