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

Chapter 194 Shunwei's 2 million US dollar AOE attack
"The plan has been approved. You submit the process work order, I'll approve it, and then schedule it!"

"Roger that!"

After a while, cheers were heard outside the door.

Chen Mo smiled. Nowadays, all payment methods have to jump to online banking or third-party payment methods, including Alipay, which is also so cumbersome. It is conceivable what impact and influence such a convenient payment method like WeChat will have. The shortening of the payment chain will inevitably lead to an increase in consumers' desire to consume.

It's time to teach them a lesson.

As a result, before he got the chance to teach the other party a lesson, he was taught a lesson himself. The next day, Li Jianchao reported that Tenpay had been registered by Tencent.

In addition to Tenpay, Tencent and Alibaba have also registered various related names such as Alipay, Caifubao, and Caifutong.

After some communication and inquiries, the payment name of WeChat was officially registered as: Weifubao.

The name is settled, and the remaining thing is how to get the payment license, which can be connected with the bank.
This is the time to test your connections.
March 3, China Resources Wucai City, 13th floor, Shunwei Fund.

Currently, Shunwei Capital has more talented people than quantity. The total number of people is about 10 people, but there are only more than people working in the company permanently.

The rest of the people are scattered across the country to inspect potential IT projects and companies.

In the conference room, the three giants of Shunwei Fund were discussing the planning of subsequent investment projects.

Xu Dalai looked at the other two partners and said, "After due diligence over the past few months, we have selected projects with potential, including YY, Kingsoft, Zhihu, Jifeng.com, and Moji Weather.

The group buying market can be selected from the top one or two companies for investment, but the capital threshold is too high. What do you think about this? "

Lei Jun nodded and said, "I think the follow-up investment in Huya and the injection of capital into Kingsoft are both necessary investments for both public and private reasons.

Jifeng.com is currently the largest Android community in China, including websites and forums, with many mobile phone players and mobile phone enthusiasts, which can form a strong complementary relationship with Xiaomi.

I think I can invest in the first one. I don’t know about the second two, but I can invest some money to test the waters! What do you think, Xiaomo?"

Chen Mo first agreed with the two's ideas, "I think the current projects are like a hundred flowers blooming. I think the ones that Brother Xu just mentioned are all worth investing in. In addition, I have recently checked and found some more reliable projects."

"Oh? Why not tell me about it?" Lei Jun's eyes showed curiosity. It was the first time he heard Chen Mo recommend other startups.

“AutoNavi, 91 Mobile Assistant, Meituan, Sogou, Ele.me, DJI!”

Xu Dalai asked, "There are so many companies in the market now, why did you choose these five? What's the reason?"

Since he came to the meeting, Chen Mo must have been prepared. He immediately started talking.

"I checked and found that since its establishment in 2002, AutoNavi has accumulated solid technology and built high barriers in the map industry. Last year, it launched AutoNavi Navigation, relying on its leading position in the car navigation market, in its strategy of transitioning to mobile Internet.

The product costs 99 yuan and has always been at the top of the APPStore paid software list. It is said that AutoNavi authorized Samsung to pre-install map services and charges 1 million yuan per year.

Moreover, Amap has a huge amount of map data which is needed for future mobile Internet. It is used by Xiaomi mobile phones, the group buying market, and our WeChat, not to mention navigation, and perhaps also for subsequent travel services. This is a basic application with rigid demand!
91 Assistant is a management software that links PC and mobile phones. Now there is a saying that iOS uses itools and Android uses 91. Last year, Tencent invested in itools, which illustrates the problem from the side.
Let’s go back to the group buying market that Brother Xu mentioned just now. Even though WoWotuan, 24tuan, Lashou and Nuomi are doing very well now, they are burning so much money that they probably won’t be able to survive for a few more months.

I have seen Meituan's model. It is very steady and steady. The previous companies are holding on, and Meituan is enduring. I think it is possible that Meituan will become the final winner in the future.
As for Sogou, it was originally a subsidiary of Sohu and currently has Sogou Browser and Sogou Input Method. A few years ago, Sohu acquired Tuxingtianxia and successfully introduced its rich map data and years of accumulated application experience into the search engine Sogou, and was the first in China to launch a new search service function - map search.

In terms of market share, Sogou Input Method and QQ Input Method are currently competing against each other in the input method field, and Sogou Browser has become the most favorable challenger to 360 Browser. These two businesses are also the two major sources of entry.

According to public information, Sogou was split into an independent company last year, and Alibaba and Jack Ma personally made strategic investments in it as investors.

It just so happens that Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan and Xu Chaojun were classmates in college. With this relationship, it is quite possible for us to get a piece of the pie.
Ele.me is a local life platform founded by several college students in 08. It mainly provides online food delivery and has developed rapidly. Now it has expanded from Shanghai to Beijing. I have tried it once and the experience was not bad. In the future, food delivery may be the general trend.
Finally, DJI has an interesting drone product. It is a geek-driven company, and I personally am optimistic about it.”

After a long chat, Chen Mo took a sip of Coke. Anyway, he was just trying to fool people with his theories, and his main point was that there was a lot of money to be made in the future.

At the beginning, there were huge differences among several people on whether to invest in each project and the investment intensity.

Chen Mo then laid out all the names in order, and drew three horizontal lines on the whiteboard to represent the three echelons. They discussed and confirmed them one by one, and finally, after some communication and seeking common ground while reserving differences, the three of them determined the investment priorities.

There are three companies in the T1 investment tier: Kingsoft, 91 Assistant and AutoNavi.

Kingsoft must invest, this was what Lei Jun insisted on, he couldn't just stand by and watch the company fail. The other two expressed their understanding and support.

The three people present at 91 Assistant and AutoNavi can see that the two companies have great potential in the future in terms of mobile phones and ecology. Although Bi'an is also making assistants, it will not become popular in a short time. 91 Assistant currently has the largest market share and is worth investing in.

T2 echelon: Meituan, Ele.me, DJI, Jifeng, and YY.

Originally, Ele.me was placed in the third tier, and was promoted to the next level only after Chen Mo’s strong suggestion.

T3 echelon: Zhihu, Moji Weather.

If Chen Mo follows his own personal wishes, T1 and T2 would be the opposite, but Shunwei Capital currently has three people, so he can only make some concessions.

Just like DJI and Ele.me, they are just small companies that have just started out with a little reputation. Even if they are boasting about it, there is no need to invest so much.
Investing is not a process of forced buying and selling, but rather a process of mutual consent. It is not much different from blind dating. You first get to know each other's information in advance, then go through the process of meeting and dating to get to know each other. If you get along well, continue to have in-depth communication until a relationship is established.

If one party is dissatisfied after a frank discussion, the investment negotiation will fall through.

Chen Mo and Lei Jun both have their own businesses, so matters such as due diligence, negotiation, and communication will be handled by Xu Da. Whether it is connections or resources, this is his role and significance in Shunwei Capital.

The three levels represent the intensity of investment intention. The first tier tries every possible means to invest.

The second tier can invest as much as possible;
The third tier: try to contact them and see their willingness.

2 million US dollars of funds, contacted from top to bottom, until all the ammunition was used up! The three giants of Shunwei had reached an agreement, and the rest was basically for Xu Dalai to start executing.

At the end of the meeting, Lei Jun was a little surprised. "Xiao Mo, we've been talking about others for a long time. Your company Bi'an is now catching up with Xiaomi in terms of scale. Are you sure you don't want to invest?"

During this period, he has been quietly following the development of Bi'an, which is still very stable, but Lei Jun can roughly guess that Chen Mo's current financial situation should not be very optimistic.

Of course the most important thing is that WeChat seems to be developing quite well now, so this question raises the question. After all, it is a good idea to keep the wealth within the family, so we can use Shunwei to make additional investments.

Chen Mo smiled and rejected the proposal. "The other side is currently self-sufficient in funds, so we don't need it for now."

In fact, the meeting was basically over at this point, but Chen Mo proposed a new idea, "Brother Jun, Brother Xu, I have an idea that you two might consider!"

"Oh?" Renault immediately became interested when he heard it. After all, this kid's suggestions were all practical stuff.

"I think MIOS should add a voice assistant so that users can use voice to perform some basic commands, such as searching for information, making calls, sending messages, playing music, opening an application, etc."

As he spoke, Chen Mo took out his No. 0 founding edition limited edition lava orange Xiaomi X1 from his pocket and said, "For example, I can say to the phone, Xiao Ai classmate?

The phone will recognize this keyword and reply, I’m here!
Then I said, open the camera, and the phone will automatically enter the camera mode. I am just giving an example. "

Xu Dalai also became interested after hearing this. "Hey, this is great, this is great. For example, when I'm driving, it would be very convenient to have this function. For example, I can wake up this little classmate, call a friend or answer a call. Mr. Chen, this idea of ​​yours is amazing!"

"Well, it's really good, and the technology is not complicated. It's just voice input to text recognition, some customized commands, and then call up the corresponding mobile phone functions! But it's really a small investment and a big output!

But why is she called Xiao Ai?" Lei Jun was puzzled.

"I just said it casually. It's not important! But that was just the first version."

When Lei Jun heard this, he was surprised. "Is this just the first version?"

Chen Mo guided step by step, "Don't you think that such a fixed back-and-forth conversation is a bit boring? What if the voice assistant could talk to people, or think and converse like a human."

"You mean artificial intelligence like the robots in science fiction movies?"

Chen Mo clapped his hands, "That's what I mean. This is like a central controller. It can not only control mobile phones, but in the future it may also be able to control various smart homes, forming a new smart ecosystem.
Brother Xu may also use Shunwei to investigate home appliance and electronics companies with investment potential.”

He described the future smart home scene.
Xu Dalai smiled and said, "To be honest, Xiao Mo's words sounded so real that I was really moved. I really hope that day will come soon. This is what technology really does to change our lives."

Lei Jun was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and nodded silently, "This is really possible!"

Finally, Chen Mo bowed and said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask of you two brothers!"
