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

Chapter 167 He Disappeared (5k)

After hearing the news, Chen Juhong was overjoyed. There is such a good thing? Why not just go with the flow?

But she quickly forced herself to calm down. Could it be some conspiracy?
She has a habit of keeping herself calm in any situation, planning before taking action, and not acting impulsively.

I asked my subordinates to check the source of the news. I was analyzing various situations and making comments on Tencent and Xiaomi.
But Director Chen remained calm for three full hours and felt that this was a good opportunity no matter how he analyzed it.

And news came one after another that the negotiations between Xiaomi and Foxconn had broken down.

There are two sources of information. One is that several Tencent resources inside Foxconn revealed that the three Xiaomi people came out of Terry Gou’s office with gloomy faces.

The other thing was that He Zhiqiang told him that Lenovo had talked to Foxconn and would place an additional order for a batch of computers on the condition that it give up cooperation with Xiaomi.

It is true that the hotel ended in bad terms. They sent someone to find the cleaning lady in the lobby to testify.
Later, Lei Jun and Lin Bin went together, while Chen Mo went his own way, looking serious.
After everything was confirmed one by one, Director Chenhong felt relieved and immediately ordered the resources below to fuel the situation.

Increase the firepower, there is only one goal, to cut off Chen Mo and Xiaomi.

One day later, all kinds of Xiaomi appeared on the Internet, but there was only one hot figure, and that was Chen Mo!
"Did Chen Mo make Xiaomi successful or did Xiaomi hinder Chen Mo?"

"Lin Bin took the opportunity to slander Chen Mo and try to regain his position as Xiaomi's second-in-command"

"Is Chen Mo the next Han Xin or Yue Fei?"

《Lei Buqun's true face!》

"Talents are recruited regardless of their background (X), and only when they are no longer useful can they be discarded (√)"

Shenzhen.

Chen Mo wore a baseball cap, a mask and big sunglasses, wrapping himself up like a spy. He avoided the media's pursuit and blockade while negotiating cooperation with BYD.

Xiaomi is now a different company from what it used to be. BYD is still very interested in Xiaomi and has shown absolute sincerity.

However, the senior executives of BYD admire Chen Mo's professionalism very much. Even when such a big thing happened online, he was still fighting for any possible benefits for Xiaomi.

Compared with Foxconn, BYD is obviously more sincere, and its OEM capabilities are actually almost the same.

After reaching further cooperation with other suppliers, Lei Jun asked Lin Bin to return directly to the headquarters, while he went to Shenzhen for an on-site inspection.

After all, BYD has a deeper foundation than Inventec, so the technical details of the negotiations are very complicated, with very detailed regulations on materials, production power, payments, payment terms, production capacity and even intellectual property rights.

It is very concerned about the accuracy of Xiaomi's needs, and it has a dedicated risk control department that is very strict in risk control.

Xiaomi proposed corresponding worker welfare benefits conditions which were fully accepted by BYD. After all, an order for 500 million mobile phones is not a small amount. Since Party A is particularly concerned, BYD will make some concessions on innocuous matters. After all, the wool comes from the sheep.

The two no longer had any worries.

On January 1, Xiaomi Technology and BYD Electronics reached a strategic cooperation agreement.

The news was then published on Xiaomi’s official website.

The news included a photo of a signing ceremony. In the photo, Lei Jun and BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu signed, and the two smiled and shook hands at the camera.

Chen Mo, the hero who facilitated the marriage between Xiaomi and BYD, stood in the corner with an expressionless face, becoming a foil.

This scene has attracted some media analysis and reports.

The entry of Xiaomi represents BYD's attitude towards embracing new things.

It is also an important node for Xiaomi to rapidly increase its production capacity.

Lei Jun also decided on an ALL-IN strategy. Apart from reserving cash for the company's operations, all the remaining funds were invested in the production line.

I saw a fully enclosed purification workshop in a building in the BYD factory. This workshop was originally used to produce LG mobile phones, with a monthly production capacity of nearly 60 units.

Lei Jun gritted his teeth and directly booked the entire building containing the workshop.

Xiaomi spent most of its Series A financing funds for this purpose, and the rest can only be raised through sales of Xiaomi X1 and subsequent financing.

However, the effort is worth it. It is expected that by early March, with the addition of Inventec and BYD, Xiaomi's production capacity will reach about 3 million units per month.

This way, there is no need to worry about people talking about hunger marketing online.

Although hunger marketing is indeed a relatively effective marketing method, it can indeed raise users' expectations and create a phenomenon of supply exceeding demand.

But Lei Jun also doesn't want people to chase him and criticize him every day for making nonsense remarks like "playing tricks on others" and "hoarding goods at high prices".

If there is production capacity, sales can be started early, payment can be collected early, and mobile phones can be manufactured again. Isn’t this a positive closed loop?

It is true that a good cook cannot cook without rice, but now everything is stable and improving. With the release after the Spring Festival, this phenomenon should be improved.

Since Xiaomi X1 was not released until after the Spring Festival, the polarized public opinion about Xiaomi during this period has not only not weakened over time, but has instead tended to intensify.

In particular, Meizu M9 actually launched the "Xiaomi deposit, I will pay for you" campaign.

In fact, the price is reduced by 1 yuan, which just covers the deposit of Xiaomi X1 mobile phone, and the target is directly aimed at those users who have pre-ordered Xiaomi X.

Once the activity was launched, it did have a certain effect. Many users changed their minds and decided not to wait any longer. They bought early and enjoyed early, and directly chose Meizu M9.

Although the sales of Meizu M9 cannot compare with the popularity of Xiaomi, it is still acceptable. Several major stores across the country basically only have trial machines left on the shelves, and all are sold out. Users need to make a reservation to buy it now and wait for about a week.

According to the battle report released on Meizu's official website, the sales volume of M9 reached 20 units.

At the same time, Huang Zhang ordered to make up for the loss and emulate Xiaomi's online e-commerce model, combining it with Meizu's offline sales, hoping to bring further growth space for M9 through a combination of the two sales methods.

It also foreshadows the next generation of Meizu flagship models, and the MX has entered the pre-research and design stage
Coolpad failed in its attempt to launch the N9300, so its engineering team has been working intensively in the past few months to develop the N3300, which is actually a low-profile version of the N9300.

There is no way they can go down the high-end route, and Xiaomi is guarding the mid-range market, and is in a fierce battle with Meizu, so they plan to enter the thousand-yuan phone market with the N3300 and fight against copycat phones.

Some even followed suit and made a press conference poster, planning to hold a new product launch on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Yes, that's the same day as Xiaomi's launch.

As the successor of Tianyu mobile phone, after snatching the market originally belonging to Tianyu mobile phone, Gionee was supposed to launch the new generation flip-cover dual-screen smartphone A350 last month. However, it was frightened by Xiaomi's momentum. As a result, the leaders Liu Lirong and Lu Weibing decided to postpone the launch time again and again.

They wanted to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity for Xiaomi to fall into a public opinion crisis, but they waited until now and they didn't expect that they finally got it.

January 2011, 1, the day after Xiaomi signed the contract with BYD.

Lin Bin was surrounded and intercepted by reporters outside Xiaomi headquarters.

"Mr. Lin, there are reports online saying that Mr. Chen Mo was treated unfairly within Xiaomi and some of his power was taken back. Is this really the case?"

"Isn't Xiaomi afraid of discouraging its fans by treating its contributors like this?"

“Was the failure of Foxconn’s contract contract caused by Chen Mo, or was there something else going on?”

At the gate of Xiaomi, when they saw Lin Bin coming to work, the reporters at the door rushed over and almost put the microphone in their hands into Lin Bin's mouth, which made him obviously impatient.

Lin Bin came in and saw the garbage on the ground. He yelled at Guan Yingzhi, "How can you dump all the garbage out? How do you do your job?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I'll clean it up right away!" Guan Yingzhi tremblingly swept the garbage away quickly.

This scene made the journalists present feel very sick. If they didn't need the other party to expose information, they would have started cursing directly. Who were they disgusted by?
Lin Bin turned around and blocked the door, saying expressionlessly,
"Everyone and netizens don't need to worry about Chen Mo's position and situation in the company. He is doing well. Who can control him?"

"The achievements Xiaomi has made so far are the result of the joint efforts of all Xiaomi employees. Please do not focus on just one person, as this is unfair to others. Behind one person's success is the hard work of all Xiaomi colleagues."

"The failure of Foxconn to sign the contract was not caused by a single factor. The situation is quite complicated. I can only say that there were problems on both sides."

"Besides, some people on the Internet have the time to care about these things. It is better to ask yourself whether you have completed your work!"

"Please don't block the door, we still have to work, please go away."

After scolding the media as if they were Xiaomi employees, Lin Bin put his hands behind his back and walked straight into the company. Lin Bin's actions directly caused the media's favorability to reach -999.

That afternoon, the report, which had been taken out of context and edited in a distorted way, quickly spread across the Internet.

Chen Mo is "fine", everyone should stop worrying about him

"There is no savior in the world, not even Xiaomi"

"Xiaomi Lin Bin: Advise the spectators that it is better to work hard than to gossip!"

"Who did Chen Mo's founder-level press conference inspire?"

"The marriage between Foxconn and Xiaomi failed, and Chen Mo was involved!"

As soon as the report came out, it set the Internet on fire, and combined with the news from a few days ago, it had a superimposed effect.

Those fans of Chen Mo directed their criticism directly at Lin Bin, believing that he was jealous of Chen Mo's talent and was relying on his status as a veteran founder of the company to stir up workplace infighting.

Even Luo Yonghao, who ranked sixth among the first generation of Internet celebrities, posted several Weibo posts to express his views on the matter, and expressed his indignation at Chen Mo's experience.
"I saw a fan asking me to share my opinion on the recent Xiaomi incident. How should I put it? I think this is quite funny. For example, if you are a boss, and you find that there is someone under you who is more capable than you and is devoted to making money for the company, and then you make the lion's share of the profits, you just secretly feel happy, what else do you want?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention that maybe that person has more fans than you, has a greater online influence than you, and has even become the face of the company. What's the problem with that? I think the boss is not the one who has a hard time. What's hard about being a boss? Just learn from Liu Bei to win people's hearts by throwing A Dou away.

The difficult part is that person, the one who is always worried that his performance is too outstanding and may be suspected of being too meritorious, and he will be walking on thin ice all day long! "

"This reminds me of the past that I thought I had forgotten. The painful memories come back to me again. Oh, I feel very uncomfortable when I see the news about Xiaomi. When I feel uncomfortable, I can't control my mouth.

But I still think Lei Jun is a boss with a vision and can handle this matter well, unlike someone who is petty, intolerant, and stingy! I won’t name the specific person.”

"Hey, I've read everyone's comments. Some things are in the past. Let's stop talking about it."

And at this time, the media broke the news that after Luo Yonghao made his comments, other major companies showed great interest in Chen Mo.

Meizu's Huang Zhang: As long as Chen Mo comes to Meizu, you can ask for any conditions.

360 Zhou Hongyi: As long as Chen Mo dares to come, he will be the person in charge of the 360 ​​special machine project in cooperation with Huawei. A Dou is ready, just waiting for Chen Mo to come and throw him down.

Robin Li said that Baidu's door will always be open to Chen Mo.

Tencent welcomes talents like Chen Mo to join us as a starting senior executive. Salary and department are negotiable.

Even Lao Ma came out to join in. When asked by a reporter in a public place, he enthusiastically extended an olive branch.

"Of course I have heard of Chen Mo. Alibaba is always eager to recruit young people with such outstanding abilities. If Chen Mo is interested, I believe he will have more possibilities and room for growth in Alibaba.

A good boss is not about how strong he is, but about his ability to integrate resources. The resources I am talking about also include talent.

So I emphasize again that as a business manager, your own ability is not important, but the pattern is important! "

The gold content of the simultaneous statements made by the three giants of BAT directly led other manufacturers to follow suit and shout out, as if it had formed a trend.
Even some investors have hinted that they are willing to invest in Chen Mo's entrepreneurship. After all, the feat of selling two websites for 6 million is indeed a most dazzling record.

The topics #China's Golden Working Emperor# and #The man who has attracted the scramble of bosses across the Internet# have topped the topic lists of major media outlets.

For a while, Chen Mo became the leader of the workers.
On the other hand, the originally polarized public opinion suddenly changed direction, and the voices praising Xiaomi suddenly disappeared, replaced by a unanimous condemnation.

In addition, there were rumors that there was internal discord in Xiaomi and Chen Mo was about to leave Xiaomi.

Voices of boycotting Xiaomi X1 began to emerge online, and there were even users who wanted to cancel their subscriptions. However, they found out that the cooling-off period had long passed and they could not cancel their subscriptions, so they started to curse in anger.

Then the two protagonists at the center of the public opinion vortex spoke out one after another.

Chen Mo immediately posted on his Sina Weibo account: "Recently, I have been busy with Mr. Lei on the production capacity of Xiaomi X1. I just saw a lot of false comments online. Thank you for your concern and support. I am very happy to be in Xiaomi. I also hope that some media friends will not over-interpret. Thank you everyone!"

Lei Jun also said on Weibo: "Recently, some employees in the company have made statements that are not very rigorous and there are indeed some problems. We have already criticized and educated them internally.

I reiterate that Xiaomi is a united team. Chen Mo is very important to Xiaomi and is an excellent executive. I hope everyone will pay more attention to the release of Xiaomi X1 on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year. Thank you. "

Both of them posted a photo of themselves smiling brightly after the press conference on their Weibo posts, attempting to dispel rumors of discord.

After Lei Jun and Chen Mo spoke out on Weibo, netizens were not convinced
"They spoke at the same time and also took photos, filling in the gaps. There must be something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about."

"All the photos are from the past. There are no recent photos. It's obvious that there is something wrong between the two of them."

"Chen Mo, if you are going to be kidnapped, just post an exclamation mark on Weibo and we will go to Xiaomi to protest."

"My brother is so innocent and works so hard, he will definitely be deceived and cheated by the evil capitalists. Go start a business and become the best version of yourself, please."

"Sister upstairs, this is the workplace circle, not the traffic circle, why don't you switch back to your comfortable track? The brother over there needs you more!"

Later, people discovered that the protagonist of the incident suddenly disappeared from the public eye. Even many reporters who went to the gate of Xiaomi Company to punch in and stand guard every day did not see Chen Mo.

Where is Chen Mo?
Fired or on leave?

Rumors spread all over the Internet.

"Have you heard? Baidu's stock price rose by 6 points today, worth billions. This is the value that Chen Mo brings to Baidu!"

"Then Tencent's stock price fell today. Could it be related to this?"

"My aunt's son's cousin works at Xiaomi. I heard that Chen Mo was put under house arrest by Lei Jun and has been in a single room farthest from the main entrance of Xiaomi."

"The people above are talking nonsense! Meizu security broke the news today, saying that a handsome guy appeared at Meizu headquarters in the past few days."

"The Internet is not a lawless place. Can you please stop spreading rumors? But I saw a report at work today saying that a headless male corpse appeared on the riverside somewhere. He seemed to be between 20 and 30 years old. What do you think?"

As the Internet was full of discussions,
Located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, there is a high-end private driving school that specializes in serving the wealthy.

The good thing about this high-end driving school is that in addition to the 1V1 beautiful private instructors and the quiet venue, which is very suitable for practicing driving alone, the most important thing is that you can get your license very quickly. Unlike regular driving schools that take at least a month to get your license, it can be done here in three days.

Of course, you could have spent a little more money to buy ready-made ones, but Mr. Chen gave up the idea of ​​taking shortcuts for the sake of rigor. The old driver's memory still needs to be awakened through the body, so it is better to trace the source.

But private training is really expensive, but what Chen Mo lacks is not money, but time.

At this time, in the empty field, a busty beauty coach who was about 170 cm tall was gesturing and directing, "Down. Down. Down."

Suddenly the shouting became faster and faster, "Here it comes! Here it comes!! Here it comes!"

Then, the beautiful coach, whose curvy figure could not be concealed even in a slim down jacket in winter, looked at the car entering the ditch. She raised her frameless glasses with her slender hands and stared at Chen Mo, who had an innocent look on his face, in the cab with her beautiful eyes.

Since she was a distinguished VIP customer, she couldn't get angry and could only smile bitterly and say,

"People have already said it, but you are still trying to argue with me, Chen Mo. Aren't you afraid of damaging the car?"

Chen Mo put the car in forward four-speed mode, stepped on the accelerator, and with great force, he managed to pull the car out of the ditch.

After getting off the bus, he looked down at the beautiful coach next to him with a big round smile. Chen Mo touched his head.

"How would I know which one you're talking about, coach? I can't stop talking. Cars are not that delicate. If they break down, just fix them. Technology is so advanced now. We can spray paint, modify the body lines, expand the headlights, etc. As long as we have money, anything can be fixed. After the overhaul, reset the system and it will be exactly the same as a new car."

"What a mess! This car is all original."

"Yes, yes, I've been driving for several days, but I still don't know. Let's get in the car and continue practicing."

"You better step on the gas slowly this time. You've been accelerating faster and faster recently."

"I still have to rely on you to guide the rhythm, otherwise I will easily lose control!"

Not a drop left
