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

Chapter 266 Xiaomi Annual Meeting, Yiming has an appointment

On the evening of January 1th, Shangri-La Hotel.

Xiaomi's annual meeting is about to be held here. This is Xiaomi's second annual meeting. The last annual meeting was just held simply within the company.

This year, Lei Jun saw that Xiaomi's performance was indeed good, so he held the annual meeting in a big hotel to make it appear more formal.

Before the meeting started, Chen Mo brought senior executives and a dozen classmates who had originally graduated from Xiaomi to attend the annual meeting.

For example, Fan Dian, Xu Liang, Zhang Chao, Qi Mengmeng and others just regarded it as participating in social activities.

As soon as they entered the venue, they were greeted with warm applause from Xiaomi classmates. After all, Xiaomo's halo still holds a very high status in the hearts of Xiaomi people.

Afterwards, the people were divided into groups, with the others going to the original three departments, where Yan Jin, Huang Jiangji and others sat. Everyone was chatting and laughing together, just like being at home.

Chen Mo brought Zhang Xiaolong, Xu Chaojun and Chen Tong to the main table.

I found that not only Xiaomi executives, but also Kingsoft’s Qiu Bojun and Vancl’s Chen Nian were there.

After the annual meeting began, Lei Jun spoke passionately on the stage, reviewing the development history of Xiaomi over the past two years in front of more than 500 Xiaomi employees present, introducing the brilliant achievements made last year, recalling the bitter past and thinking of the sweet past.

The PPT on the stage screen rotated various memorable photos of Xiaomi along the way.

Chen Mo saw himself in many photos.
The celebration after MIOS went online, the photo of Lei Jun, the co-founder, and him translating the contract in a hotel while negotiating with Qualcomm, the photo of him, Lei Jun, and Lin Bin, the three of them, running around to talk to suppliers and eating lunch at a random shop, the highlight of Xiaomi's first press conference in 1999, and the celebration banquet of Lei Jun and his company, where he personally distributed mobile phones to employees.
Looking at the photos, countless memories came to his mind like a kaleidoscope of memories. Chen Mo drank a glass of wine by himself, feeling very touched.

“Finally, on this occasion, I or Xiaomi would like to thank a special person who has made an indelible contribution to the development of Xiaomi and later provided now proven and extremely accurate advice as a consultant.

I think everyone is very familiar with this person, please shout out his name loudly."

The whole audience shouted in unison, "Xiao Mo~"

Chen Mo, who was lost in his memories, was forced to turn on his phone when he heard the voice. He subconsciously wanted to say "I'm here", but he quickly restrained himself.
Originally, Lei Jun wanted Chen Mo to come up and say a few words to everyone, but when he saw him waving his hands repeatedly in the audience, he gave up.

The annual meeting was followed by a raffle with performances on stage. The program was prepared in advance by the company’s employees, and the prizes were all Xiaomi products.

Everyone in the audience was eating, drinking and chatting, and from time to time a section would burst into cheers, which meant someone had won a prize.

The atmosphere was very lively.

This went on for several hours. Chen Mo and Lei Jun went to toast each other, so they both drank quite a lot and their faces turned red. The two of them were talking in whispers with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"In two days, the other side will come over for the annual meeting~"

"It depends. The main thing is that your annual meeting is too far away. It takes eight or nine hours to fly there."

“There’s a show!”

"What kind of program is worth my eight or nine hours of flying? Wouldn't it be better if I could focus more on the production capacity?"

Chen Mo took out his limited edition lava orange Xiaomi X0Pro, the guest list screenshot, and shoved it in Lei Jun's face, "Are you sure you don't want to go?"

Lei Jun looked at the list above. Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and Nicholas Tse? He looked up at Chen Mo.

"You are a big spender, you have made a lot of money, and you have made a lot of celebrities. Although there is Nicholas Tse, who I admire very much, you think I can fly so far away just like this." Lei Jun saw the list of groups at the top and widened his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes to make sure it was not dazzled, "Are you sure?"

Seeing the other party nodding with a smile, Lei Jun coughed and said, "It's not impossible. After all, I am also a shareholder of Bi'an, and it is my duty to meet with everyone."

Chen Nian, who was standing next to Lei Jun, also came over to take a look and was equally shocked. "I was wondering if one of the guests at our annual meeting had a schedule conflict and was not invited. It turns out that Mr. Chen got there first. Can you bring me along as well?"

At that time, the inexpensive and high-quality Uniqlo had not yet entered the Chinese market. In the past two years, Vancl has sparked public opinion with the endorsement of celebrity Vancl words, and its shirts and T-shirts that cost dozens or hundreds of yuan are very popular.

Vancl has become one of Lei Jun's most successful angel investment cases after Joyo.com, and the two are also good friends in private.

A few days ago, at the "2012 Vancl Celebration", well-known Internet figures such as Lei Jun, Kai-Fu Lee, Li Guoqing, Xue Manzi, Xu Xiaoping, and the four major spokespersons Han Han, Wang Luodan, Huang Xiaoming, and Li Yuchun all attended, which really attracted a lot of people's attention.

He smiled and shook hands with Chen Nian, "No problem, you're most welcome!"

Looking at Chen Nian, who looked very festive and like a hamster, Chen Mo said silently in his heart,

Mr. Lei, the future number one on the list, I’m sorry, with me here, you can only be ranked second from now on.

Susquehanna International Group (SIG) is a privately held global trading and technology company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Philadelphia. It is a quantitative trading company operating globally. In addition to its core financial transactions, Susquehanna International also has its own venture capital fund business.

In 2005, Susquehanna International Group established its Chinese subsidiary, Susquehanna Asia, to invest in Chinese start-ups.

Kuxun was one of its early investment projects. Zhang Yiming, who was in his early 20s at the time, was the website's technical director. With a baby face, he looked like a high school student, but Haina executives highly recognized his technology and believed that Zhang Yiming was a rare technical talent.

However, Kuxun developed slowly and its prospects were not very clear. Later, Zhang Yiming jumped directly to Microsoft.

In 09, Suina Asia separated Kuxun's real estate business into an independent startup, which is now Jiujiufang, because some executives of Suina Asia were already old acquaintances of Zhang Yiming.

In addition, Zhang Yiming was the former technical director of Kuxun, so Haina Asia wanted to recruit Zhang Yiming back.

At this time, Zhang Yiming found that the life in Microsoft's nursing home was not suitable for him, and the two sides hit it off.

Finally, Haina Asia appointed Zhang Yiming as the CEO of Jiujiufang, but he was not the real founder of Jiujiufang. He only owned a small amount of company shares. To put it bluntly, he was just a senior employee.

As 99fang's business was stuck in a bottleneck for a long time and difficult to break through, at the end of last year, Gong Ting, the managing director of Haina Asia, expressed some dissatisfaction with Zhang Yiming in a shareholding dispute. He wanted to get rid of Zhang Yiming, who was neither the founder of Kuxun nor 99fang. In the end, he was stopped by Wang Qiong, another executive who was optimistic about Zhang Yiming.

But it is still difficult to change the tense relationship between Zhang Yiming and Susquehanna Asia.

Then Chen Mo appeared and seduced Zhang Yiming's inner thoughts, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After watching the launch conference of Bi'an in early January this year, Zhang Yiming wrote in an email to Haina Yazhou that with the increasing penetration of mobile phones and mobile Internet, opportunities in social media continued to emerge, especially those based on mobile platforms. He realized that he needed to change his career direction, so he wanted to see this vast world.

To put it another way, a popular resignation phrase is: the world is so big and I want to go see it.

This email is Zhang Yiming’s resignation letter.

Zhang Yiming, who had become a free man, was in a coffee shop on January 1.

He met Chen Mo, who shared the same ideals and was of similar age, but there was a huge gap in their net worth.
