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

Chapter 292: For the Country, for the Family, for Yourself

SZ City is the last stop of Lei Chen’s three-way trip.

Over the past month, Lei Jun has taken Chen Mo on a long journey, moving from place to place. It has been really hard work, but fortunately, they have gained a lot.

After taking inventory, I found that in a full month, I had negotiated with 17 companies, an average of one company every day and a half. It can be said that speed is of the essence.

At that time, Chen Mo casually mentioned the Calabash Brothers color matching rice, but he didn't expect that Lei Jun would really use it, and the colors were not enough, so he changed it to other names, such as
ZMI: Originally just an unknown mobile phone accessories company, it will focus on the charger field after Xiaomi's investment. Currently, its first product is positioned as Xiaomi power bank and household battery.

Qingmi: A company that focuses on making small items such as sockets and power strips
Yunmi: An Internet home appliance company focusing on the research and development and manufacturing of small home appliances.

Huami: A technology company focused on wearable devices, jointly established by Xiaomi Technology and Hefei Huaheng Electronics, mainly engaged in the research and development of smart bracelets and watches.

Chunmi: Mainly engaged in kitchen utensils, currently preparing to develop Xiaomi rice cookers.
Shengmi: Formerly known as Jiayi Lianchuang, it is an electronic technology company focusing on the research and development and production of mobile phone digital accessories. It changed its name after Xiaomi invested in it and focused on the fields of headphones, power supplies, etc.

Yeelight: Focuses on smart lamps, Xiaomi desk lamp.

Ninebot: used for the research, development and manufacturing of balancing vehicles and scooters.

Basically, the two of them brought the Xiaomi smart home team to inspect each target company according to the project testing process. If every link was OK, they would sign the contract on the spot, emphasizing a quick decision.

Lei Jun of Xiaomi and Chen Mo of Bi'an are currently well-known in their respective fields. When the two big guys join forces to take action, almost every boss of these companies becomes a little Karami when they see the two of them, and they are eager for Xiaomi to invest.

There were even a few bosses who were almost crying because certain aspects of their factories did not meet the standards. Upon seeing this, Lei and Chen left without any regrets, portraying themselves as cold-blooded and efficient.

They are here to do work, not to make friends, so they stay in each place for two days at most, and basically only have half a day to a day to inspect each company. If the company has no problems and agrees to Xiaomi's conditions, the contract will be signed on the spot.

It’s like a man goes shopping with a clear purpose. When he arrives at the mall, he goes straight to his destination, takes a quick glance to find what he wants, then confirms that it is what he needs, pays and leaves. The main goal is to be quick and easy.

They almost visited Tianjin, Wuxi, Foshan, Shanghai, Guiyang. They walked through all these cities. China's beautiful rivers and mountains were so beautiful that they had no time to travel. After all, their "double flight" trip was purely literal.

Arriving in Guiyang was like arriving at half of Chen Mo's home turf. When the local government learned about it, they made some arrangements and receptions, implying that they wanted Xiaomi to invest locally as well.

However, the experienced Lei Jun swallowed the sugar coating and sent the shell back intact, saying with a smile that he would think about it again and examine it further.

Chen Mo took Lei Jun to visit the current construction status of the Bi'an Data Center. The skyscraper is rising from the ground and is expected to be put into operation by the end of the year.

Looking at the modern campus planning and schematics in the hall, and then looking at the vigorous and bustling construction site outside, Lei Jun's eyes were fiery, and he sighed with emotion, "The world's 433rd richest man is really rich. When will Xiaomi have such a campus?"

"You are so rude, leave some room for Xiaomi when the time comes."

"Forget it. You are made of real money. I am worth so much more than you, and it would be embarrassing for me to eat and live for free."

"Brother, where's your face? Xiaomi has to pay the rent."

“.” Damn, he knew that this guy wasn’t that kind!
The last stop was Shenzhen, where the two stayed for nearly 5 days. Because there were many companies here, they finally chose Shenzhen Lvtuo Technology Co., Ltd.

The company was founded at the end of 2009 and is mainly engaged in the research and development and application of wireless building control systems.

After receiving investment from Xiaomi two days ago, it was renamed Lumi and will conduct research and development and manufacturing in the fields of smart home (multi-function gateway, Xiaomi temperature and humidity sensor, Xiaomi human body sensor, Xiaomi door and window sensor, Xiaomi wireless switch, Rubik's Cube controller) and so on.

We just finished talking with DJI yesterday. Since Shunwei had previously invested US$500 million in DJI, there is a basis for cooperation between the two parties.

Xiaomi and DJI jointly established Fimi, with DJI providing technology to develop the Xiaomi drone project.

Chen Mo knows that this is just the first step for Xiaomi. As the ecological chain gradually matures, it will eventually flourish and bear fruit.

Xiaomi has accelerated its progress with its own assistance, but what about the other side?

It seems that except for the higher profit margin than Xiaomi, Bi'an lags behind in many other aspects such as revenue, scale and layout.

Perhaps money and status really do foster ambition.

For Chinese people, the idea that if you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world is deeply rooted in their hearts.

At the beginning, Chen Mo only wanted to achieve financial freedom, but in just one year, he created Tuan123 and Tuanjian.com. The two websites sold for 6 million yuan, and his goal was achieved.

I also wondered if I could have worked like a cow or a horse in my previous life so that the cows and horses around me would suffer less and live like human beings.

Later he joined Xiaomi to reorganize the workplace. Now he founded Bi'an to reshape the workplace environment. Although he has his own tricks, this model cannot be copied and he cannot change his peers like Pang Donglai.

But at least for now, there are more than a thousand employees at Xiaomi headquarters, nearly ten thousand workers in the OEM factories that cooperate with Xiaomi mobile phones, plus 17 companies that have signed contracts along the way. By the way, one of the conditions for Xiaomi's investment is that employee treatment and welfare issues must be implemented in accordance with labor law standards.

By this calculation, nearly 2 people in Xiaomi Technology who I have assisted along the way have benefited from it, their efforts have been rewarded, and their labor has been guaranteed. But what about my own people? Only a thousand or so.
Chen Mo claims that as the man behind Xiaomi and Lei's younger brother, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long? He always likes to be on top!
Bi'an now strictly controls its recruitment. Otherwise, if it opens recruitment to all employees, the number of employees in a year will exceed tens of thousands. If the number of employees increases and management cannot keep up, it will be a disaster for the startup Bi'an.

Just like charity, when there is too much donation and the management can't keep up, people's kindness becomes a breeding ground for evil. Well, everyone understands.
So this is why Chen Mo, who has made so much money, never donates to other areas except donating a sum of money every year to the Qidian Orphanage that raised him.

But in addition to recruitment, can we introduce a youth training mechanism?
In fact, this is also the issue that he and Lei Jun discussed most in their spare time during this period.

The IT industry does need great people and experts, but it also needs countless screws.

In addition to outstanding fresh graduates, those who can join Bian'an through social recruitment can only be those who have worked in the society for two years and have honed their experience and skills.

Then can I set up a targeted training school for the other side by myself, provide step-by-step training, and turn it into the Huangpu Military Academy for IT talents to supply talents for the other side?

Fresh graduates, social recruitment, and one's own school are one of the open source ways to recruit talent.

To reach the other side, you don't need to do any advanced technical research and development work. The greatest demand is for employees who can do addition, deletion, modification, query, page design, and basic repetitive work.

Those who build rockets build rockets, and those who tighten screws tighten screws, each doing their own job.

For those who have potential and ambition, Bi'an provides promotion channels and upward space.

If you are the type of person who is a hard worker, then you should work from 9 to 5, have two days off a week, and occasionally work overtime. Hard work pays off, and it should be no problem to support your family.

He also wishes those who want to change jobs and see the world outside to do so. It would also be nice to have many students all over the world.

Even for those who are ambitious about starting their own business, reliable Beyond Venture Capital can provide the first round of funding and sow the seeds.

In this way, the scale of Bi'an Technology will become larger and larger
Of course, there are still many specific details that need to be perfected. Now these are just a rough outline in my mind, so I’ll record them down for now.

Bi'an is a pure Internet company. Unlike technology companies like Xiaomi, the Internet only needs to focus on a few core technologies and develop them intensively.

Social networking, games, security, and e-commerce all belong to the business level.

The core technologies are cloud computing, intelligent recommendation algorithms, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Gathering the power of game revenue and throwing it into these fields is equivalent to an alternative form of national crowdfunding.

It's better than letting those capitalists transfer their money abroad. Even if he is worth 10 billion now, he still doesn't understand. Why do you run away if you don't do anything wrong when your family can't spend all the money in several lifetimes? Oh.
The remaining piece is Chen Mo’s fantasy: aerospace.

Doesn't Chen Mo know that SpaceX has NASA's backing in terms of funding and technology patent transfers, and also has government orders to keep it going? He knows!

Didn't Chen Mo know that building a rocket was very sensitive, and if he wasn't careful, not only would he fail, but he himself might even be hung up on a street lamp? He knew it too!

Even if he ultimately fails, just as he said when he recruited Wang Jian, even if cloud computing fails, open source sharing of previous technologies and accumulations can serve as a paving stone for those who come after him.

He wanted to try it.

As a result, Chen Mo ran to the next door and banged on the door with great confidence. As soon as he expressed his idea, Lei Jun scolded him. He died before he could achieve anything. He died if he tried.
It was the first time Chen Mo saw this guy lose his temper. Lei Jun then randomly cited a few negative examples that he had never known before. His face began to become a little serious. He knew that this matter would be difficult, but he did not expect it to become a forbidden area.
".Aren't these cases enough to illustrate the problem? I originally thought that you understood the national conditions, but now it seems that you don't know much!

You feel so proud just because you made it onto the wealth list? Do you know how many people are behind the wealth list? "

Lei Jun said this while walking around the room, pointing at Chen Mo. This naughty kid has been climbing up the roof and tearing down the tiles if he hasn't been taught a lesson for three days. Private enterprises can participate in flying things in the sky, but should they participate?
As Chen Mo's mentor, Lei Jun felt that whether for personal feelings or for profit considerations, he had the responsibility and obligation to wake up this confused guy, because he had a close relationship with Xiaomi, and Xiaomi might get into trouble.
"Making chips, developing game engines, and cloud computing aren't enough for you? I wouldn't stop you even if you said you wanted to build a car, but you can just build that thing in the sky if you want to?

People know that if you take too big a step, you will get hurt. You like Zhao Benshan's sketches, but you don't even understand this principle?

We just need to do what we can to change people's livelihood, and leave the rest to the country!

The water here is deeper than that in Taohuatan. I have been through this and I am afraid you can't control yourself.

Xiao Mo, stop it! There are some things out there that you can’t touch.”

Lei Jun's words made Chen Mo break out in a cold sweat. A bystander can see things more clearly. Otherwise, if he continued to be so reckless, he would probably be reborn soon.

An old person in the family is like a treasure who will stand up and wake you up at the critical moment.

"Brother Jun, you are right! It is true that people become arrogant when they have a little money. I have learned my lesson!"

Chen Mo, who fell to the ground, also figured it out. If he insisted on going his own way and failed in the end, not only himself, but also the people on the other side, and even Xiaomi, would be affected. He was no longer fighting alone.

Making good use of the present piece of land is also serving the country and the family.

Each generation has its own things to do. Just do what you should do.
This night, Chen Mo grew a lot.
