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

Chapter 374: Mi'an Leadership Team Building
In addition to suppliers, some patent companies have also become key targets.

For example, there is an American company that developed a diamond arrangement on the screen, there is the American company AuthenTec that owns the patent for screen fingerprint recognition and pressing, and the Swedish company Fingerprint CardsAB that has fingerprint recognition on the back of the phone (under-screen fingerprint), and there are many companies involved in a series of patents involving fast charging, dual cameras, etc.

Lei Jun possesses all the qualities of an excellent entrepreneur: vision, foresight, overall perspective, ability to employ people, and the ability to delegate power.
This is also the reason why Chen Mo is willing to make suggestions, because Lei Jun can understand his ideas, recognize his suggestions, and enable the huge machine of Xiaomi to implement them.

On the one hand, it was due to the tacit understanding between the two in their past cooperation, and on the other hand, Lei Jun was really able to learn from what Chen Mo said and constantly make fine adjustments during the implementation process to maximize the effect of Chen Mo's intentions.

Of course, Lei Jun also possesses the most important quality, which is the courage and strong execution ability he shows after making a decision in his heart.

After Chen Mo's reminder, Lei Jun knew very well that if he was a step slower to get these patents and others got there first, the subsequent losses would be counted in billions.

As for Chen Mo, although he didn't remember the time dimension of some things very clearly, he still had an impression of the events at specific key nodes, such as the diamond arrangement on the screen.

He remembered that the patent had always been in the hands of Samsung. However, LED and OLED technologies have been constantly mentioned by Xiaomi people during this period. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the patent was actually in the hands of an American company. Could it be that Samsung has not made a move yet?
This is an opportunity, because he knows that BOE or other screen manufacturers will try to avoid patent infringement and develop diamond-like arrays or delta arrays in a different way.
The delta arrangement is designed to be different from Samsung's diamond arrangement by dividing a pixel into two pieces. At first glance, it looks like two small eyes and a pouting mouth. It is also called the "little yellow duck" arrangement or the "Zhou Dongyu" arrangement.

And whether it is a mobile phone, pad, monitor, or laptop, the actual display effect will have slight differences in clarity depending on the arrangement.

So later, when some merchants sold electronic product screens that included both BOE and Samsung, who would want to buy the worse one when they could get the better one for the same price? Therefore, this purchasing behavior was jokingly called card drawing by netizens, with the special prize being Samsung, the first prize being BOE, and so on.

Some consumers even strongly demand a refund because the screen is not Samsung, even if the functions are fine. This is the importance of this patent.

Xiaomi now has strong cash flow, so there is no need to start research from scratch. Instead, it can acquire existing technology companies, obtain patents, and then have a team of Xiaomi engineers move in to conduct research and development based on them, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Just like Chen Mo buying Nvidia at the bottom? Is he doing it to make money?
Uh~ of course!
However, Chen Mo is more concerned about acquiring a certain amount of NVIDIA shares through the stock market and becoming one of its shareholders. After all, whether there are people of his own inside NVIDIA is another matter. This will have a certain positive effect on the subsequent cooperation and joint research and development of chips between the two parties. By learning from each other, we can learn from each other's strengths and make up for our own weaknesses.

After all, for the Americans, a company like NVIDIA that masters core technology will not be controlled by a Chinese force. Therefore, before the rise of AI, Mi'an Xinsheng must put GPU on the agenda as well. Even if the capital consumption will be greater, Chen Mo believes that he can afford it.

When the investment map was finalized, the two reviewed it again and found no problems. Lei Jun took a photo of the list and sent it to Shunwei's actual executor Xu Dalai, then called him directly to express what had just been decided.

When it comes to demarcating investment boundaries, Lei Jun and Chen Mo focus on making sure they fit perfectly.

Investments related to digital and smart home are mainly from Xiaomi and Shunwei Capital.

Chips, cloud computing, and the Internet are mainly supported by Bi'an and Bi'an Venture Capital Fund.

By the evening, we had basically finished talking about everything, except for the last and most crucial thing.

The two of them just happened to be still wanting to talk, so they went to the private kitchen to continue chatting.

During the meal, Chen Mo said while eating, "Double Eleven is coming soon, what do you think?"

Lei Jun was stunned. Double Eleven? Isn't that more related to the e-commerce platform? But he knew that Chen Mo must have a reason for saying that.

After thinking about it, I came up with some ideas, "You mean the e-commerce alliance we talked about before?"

“You have the goods, I have the channels, and SF Express has the express delivery, but there is still a link missing!”

"Warehousing? JD.com?" Lei Jun's reaction was quick and he immediately understood Chen Mo's idea.

In the past few years, unlike Taobao, which established Cainiao Logistics by joining forces with 3T Express and YTO Express, JD.com has been building its own logistics system through market financing and deploying integrated warehousing across the country.

It's easier to talk to smart people. Chen Mo smiled and picked up the glass full of beer. "Don't you think Double Eleven is a good battlefield?"

"Maybe we can talk to Liu Qiangdong about this next month. I think he would be quite interested as well." Seeing this, Lei Jun also smiled and raised his glass.

Chen Mo's cup lowered slightly, and the two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

In fact, people who are very close and see each other often cannot drink alone.

Therefore, whenever the two of them eat and drink, two bottles of beer each will be enough. The slightly tipsy state will keep their thinking active at an efficient state.

After finishing a glass of wine, Lei Jun sighed and felt that he had a very enjoyable chat today. He also had a clearer view of Xiaomi's development in the next three years.

He described the thoughts in his mind.
"Xiao Mo, you see, WeChat now has an absolute traffic entrance. If it is connected with JD.com, it will attract traffic to JD.com. JD.com will get traffic, and WeChat will have another channel to monetize. In addition..."

Chen Mo took over the conversation, "Besides, JD.com has a relatively mature warehousing and distribution system, while SF Express has extremely strong water and air transportation capabilities and rich logistics experience, just like bones and blood.

In this way, Xiaomi's product chain can be like water in a river, from Xiaomi->WeChat->JD.com->SF Express, connecting the upstream and downstream and flowing downstream to reach thousands of households.

If the cooperation with JD.com goes smoothly, perhaps we can suggest to Liu Qiangdong that we create a brand sales ranking. I think there should be no big problem for Xiaomi to be ranked first.

It will further stimulate sales. As for Meizu, it should just continue to use its original channels. This incident can also tell Huang Zhang that sometimes price is not the only way to win. "

Chatting with Chen Mo is so worry-free. Whenever I want to express something, he will connect the whole thing together, so that I can draw inferences about other things.

"Haha, that's what I mean! We can leverage our respective strengths and expertise to form an e-commerce one-stop alliance."

"I think we should each invest some money in JD."

Lei Jun nodded, then shook his head. "Not only that, for the sake of a long-term and orderly alliance of interests, we can tie Liu Qiangdong to our big ship, and let Xiaomi and Bi'an buy some shares, not too much, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance!"

"I think it's OK! 'Mi'an Dongfeng' sounds good too~"

Lei Jun reminded, "Xiao Mo, have you forgotten DJI? I feel that the drone market will also become a powerful booster for logistics in the future."

"Yeah, but DJI is still in the process of accumulating technology, so it can't be used for the time being. I guess it will be of great use in a few years, so we should continue to invest and pay attention to it."

"Okay, let's keep it unified. I'll contact SF Express's Wang Wei and JD.com's Liu Qiangdong!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Jun!"

"Don't worry, you're being so polite? That's too formal, you should drink a glass first!"

"I was just being polite, I didn't mean it sincerely."

"Drink it quickly, don't raise fish!"

"Are you really worried that these bottles of good wine you brought will be wasted?"

Even though Chen Mo complained, he still drank a cup by himself, "Eleven, do you have any plans?"

"Except for refining and organizing things these days, there are no other arrangements."

Lei Jun suddenly realized what was happening and said with caution, "What are you going to do?"

Because he was afraid that this guy would come to his house for free meals again. Some time ago, this guy came uninvited and even dared to tell Zhang Tong (Lei's wife) about his dirty deeds, which made him feel scared.

"Look at that look. I'm planning to take the executives on a team-building trip. Do you want to come? This is what I'm going to do. Blah blah blah."

Lei Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Hmm? I didn't expect you to be so conscious. That's great. I'll also ask the executives to come over to be influenced by you. Let's go together as a group."

We can stay in the same room at night, and you can help me perfect the details of Xiaomi's subsequent plans. We can learn from each other and make progress together."

"Well, can we go back to 1 minute ago and pretend that I never said that?"

"cannot!"

"Okay, Bi'an currently has some problems, such as a single profit model, unbalanced business development, fragmented industrial layout, etc. During the National Day holiday, you, an angel investor, Internet model worker, and famous Internet entrepreneur, can also check it out for me."

"Can we go back two minutes?"

"also can not!"

"Haha, let's go!"

The two cups clinked together, and the two men drank another cup and laughed heartily.

By the end of September, the public opinion about Meizu and Xiaomi gradually cooled down, although Meizu was cheated by its own boss, which affected its sales to a certain extent.

Thanks to the good performance of the phone itself, excellent appearance and the "cheap price for both myself and the industry", it has once again returned to the top of the sales list.

The impact of this incident on Huang Zhang was that he, who used to frequently comment on other people's affairs on his own forum, did not post again, as if his forum account had been banned by the administrator.

Huang Zhang felt that Meizu won, but he didn't. What the hell is this?
Zhou Shouzi was also a little depressed because his boss ordered him to "make surprise purchases" on the last trading day of September. He spent all the remaining 9 billion yuan in one go, raising Nvidia's stock price from US$10 to US$11, which was somewhat inconsistent with his investment philosophy.

The reason for calling off the troops was that the National Day was approaching, and all the members of the other side's senior management team were summoned by Chen Mo and reported back to the headquarters.

Not only him, but Li Jianchao who was overseas was also recalled to China.

On the last working day of September, members of the Bi'an executive team gathered together to make a summary of the progress of the period.

It was Zhou Shouzi's turn, and he talked about the current results. AutoNavi was still talking, Shanda Literature was following up, and NVIDIA had come to an end.

Nvidia is a company with relatively dispersed equity, with dozens of shareholders, so there is no absolute controlling shareholder. Since Huang Renxun is its founder, he also becomes the final decision maker.

Bi'an exchanged tens of billions of funds for 13.2% of Nvidia's shares, becoming the third largest shareholder after Vanguard Group and Fidelity Management & Research Company, and occupying a seat on the board of directors.

Chen Mo asked Li Jianchao to take on the role concurrently, and he will become a bridge for cooperation between NVIDIA and Mi'an Xinsheng in the future.

At the end of the meeting, Chen Mo talked about the follow-up arrangements for gathering everyone together, which was the team building on November 11.

Why choose October 1st for team building? There are so many people!
Everyone was old, and had long been intimidated by Chen Mo's tyranny, so they had no objection.

Because they know that since the boss has spoken, he must have his reasons.

September 9, afternoon, Terminal T30 of Beijing Capital International Airport.

Two men, with their families, more than 20 people in total, appeared in the VIP waiting hall.

It is the Xiaomi and Bi'an executives team led by Lei Jun and Chen Mo. The combined net worth of these people exceeds 500 billion, making them billionaires per capita. Of course, the distribution is not evenly distributed, but almost everyone is worth over million.

This attracted the attention of airport staff, many of the ladies' eyes were fixed on Chen Mo, and there were even a few passengers in the VIP lounge who came to Chen Mo to take photos with him.

After completing security check, the group sat down and prepared to wait for the flight.

Lei Jun poked the second most handsome guy in Xiaomi next to him and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a private jet before? Where did you buy it? Otherwise, wouldn't it be useful now?"

Chen Mo did not answer, but followed suit and poked the second most handsome guy next to him, "Where is the private jet manufacturer you contacted before? Otherwise, wouldn't it be useful now?"

Zhou Shouzi wanted to poke someone else, but he found that there was an aisle on his left. He could only make a bitter face and replied helplessly, "Boss, I was just about to go for a field trip when you dragged me to go shopping. I can only do it after the National Day holiday. Then the manufacturers will send representatives to introduce their various products."

Chen Mo helplessly spread his hands towards Lei Jun, "It's not that easy to buy an airplane. I guess it needs to be customized. The approval of the runway and terminal has just come down, and it hasn't been built yet. It will probably be next year at the latest. I will definitely let you sit on it by then~"

Afterwards, the group boarded a flight to Changsha, Hunan. The first stop of Mi’an’s senior management team building was Shaoshan, Xiangtan, Hunan!

This was the team-building arrangement that Chen Mo proposed to Lei Jun at the time, to review one of the greatest entrepreneurial histories in China.

Of course, this was not just a sudden whim or a random idea on Chen Mo's part. There were several reasons for doing this.

Firstly, the company is now larger and has more people. Salary and career development are only external forces. Faith and vision are also needed. Only by combining internal and external forces can we unite our hearts and minds and go further. Of course, Chen Mo did not plan to expand the entire group, but only limited it to the senior management group, because these generals who command an army are the backbone of the group.

Secondly, I want to learn from history. This entrepreneurial venture is a stunning turnaround in survival in adversity. The wisdom and principles contained in countless classic cases can bring some new thinking and inspiration to everyone. It is an all-round baptism at the ideological level and enhances adversity quotient.

There is also an additional effect. It can also serve as a positive example to convey the public opinion to the higher-ups and express the sincere desire of us entrepreneurs to serve the country.

As for finding Lei Jun for joint team building, it is because the senior management teams of Bi'an and Xiaomi are the current elites in the industry, just like Chen Mo and Lei Jun. Chen Mo has ideas and thoughts, and Lei Jun has ability and experience, and they can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Other managers will also get to know each other through this trip and give each other some good suggestions from their own different standpoints, thus avoiding fixed thinking that comes from being in the same mountain.

During the entire National Day period, Chen Mo and Lei Jun led the team to Shaoshan, Ningxiang, and Juzizhou in Hunan, and then to Yan'an in Shaanxi and other places.

The original seven-day trip was extended for three days before we returned to Beijing in batches because it was too difficult to get tickets back to Beijing. We only managed to get back by using some connections.

This trip was a bit hard, but the results were obvious.

After some study, those who returned found many similarities between the two, and their understanding of the business, summary and thinking on team management have been improved to a certain extent.

Moreover, they feel that their cohesion and sense of identity have been further enhanced. After all, both Lei Jun and Chen Mo have the kind of leadership qualities that make it easy for people to follow them.

On October 10, after returning to Beijing, everyone showed extremely fervent revolutionary passion and threw themselves into their respective jobs, which played a certain leading role for those below them.

On this day, the official website of the other shore released the latest developments.

"From October 10st to October 1th, on the occasion of the 10rd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Chen Mo of the Group, together with other senior executives, set out from Beijing to visit the former residences of great men, revolutionary holy places and memorial halls in Xiangtan, Hunan and Yan'an, Shaanxi. They reviewed the glorious years of the Party Central Committee during the revolutionary war, cherished the great achievements of the older generation of revolutionaries, and collectively continued the red bloodline and inherited the spirit of struggle.
During the review process, the managers of the other side were deeply touched and benefited a lot. Chairman Chen Mo was extremely moved and said that we have received profound education and enlightenment through this trip. We must review the past to learn new things, manage and study well, and tell the story of the other side in combination with reality!

We will work tirelessly to realize the dream of China's Internet rise! "

Xiaomi also followed suit and officially released similar news. After all, every company has a few experts in writing essays.

Chen Mo and Lei Jun simply reviewed the announcement personally and posted it on the official website, then went about their own business.

The next day, the leaders of the Cyberspace Administration of China received this news.

After all, Xiaomi and Bi'an are now his key focus, and the people below will report to him if there is any movement.

But this time, when he saw the latest updates on the two official websites, he was deeply moved.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Chen Mo and Lei Jun were both well-known celebrities among the Internet entrepreneurs, but he didn't expect them to be so popular. This made the leader reflect on whether he had made a fuss about Chen in the past.

He now had only one thought in his mind, that as long as these two families didn't do anything too outrageous in the future, he would just turn a blind eye.

After all, how could a company that wants to progress so much have any bad intentions?

After Lei Jun and Chen Mo came back, the former was busy with the launch of Xiaomi X3 and the preparation of a series of new products such as X4, as well as communicating with JD.com and SF Express.

In fact, Lei Jun and Liu Qiangdong are not very familiar with each other, but they have a long-standing spiritual friendship. After all, they are both outstanding entrepreneurs who can make a difference in their respective fields, and they still admire each other very much.

When Lei Jun contacted Liu Qiangdong through a friend on the weekend, he briefly expressed the proposal that he had previously discussed with Chen Mo. Liu Qiangdong was very interested and invited Bi'an and Xiaomi to visit JD.com's headquarters.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, conducted a unified review and adjustment of the vision and values ​​of the group and its subsidiaries based on the process summarized and discussed during the National Day holiday. To put it bluntly, he wanted to let everyone on the other side know what they are working for, apart from earning a salary and supporting their families.

That is what has been emphasized since I joined Bi'an, "Using technology to change the world."

In fact, this slogan is somewhat similar to Xiaomi's.

The more outstanding a person is, the higher his spiritual pursuit is, so it is cool to have a challenging goal to strive for.

Especially when personal career is tied to the rise of the country and nation, the greatest momentum will be unleashed. This is the simplest sentiment, with the most basic rationality.

Of course, no matter how excellent the selection system is, when the employee base is large, everyone’s pursuits will be different. Some people want to be eagles soaring in the sky, while others just want to be a workhorse who gets off work from nine to six.

Where there are white-collar workers, there are blue-collar workers; where there are people engaged in technological innovation, there are also brick-moving workers. Chen Mo is an experienced person, he understands and treats everyone equally. According to the system within the group, as long as the work performance is up to standard, everyone has a bright future, and no one will be fired due to age, lack of ambition or other factors.

Now in the Bi'an Group, only one type of person will be fired, and that is bad conduct. It seems that it is difficult to be fired, but in fact, it includes many types, such as being lazy, being cunning, scheming, pretending to be powerful, and being pretentious, etc.
Chen Mo's current private reporting email address is the sword of Damocles hanging over these people's heads. No matter if they are pretending or real, a gentleman judges by deeds rather than by heart. As long as they work hard in the company, there will be no problem.

But if someone reports it and it is verified, you will be executed immediately without any discussion!
Group management work requires the dual efforts of systems and personnel, and is an ongoing process.

Chen Mo hopes to lay a solid foundation before Qingteng College starts recruiting students at the end of the year, to avoid a situation where he has good intentions but goes astray, which would be counterproductive.

Speaking of this N+1.

The N+2012 in 1 was not as valuable as it later became. Later, N+1 became the first pot of gold for young programmers who had just entered the workplace for a few years and the pension for older programmers after the age of 35.

Even so, many talents who are sent to society are only obtained with great difficulty through some arbitration agency.

Later, with the increasing number of such talents, not only did some regions prohibit people from signing up for triathlon events, but some arbitration cases originally took several months or even half a year. However, after the version upgrade, people now have to wait in line for a year.

As a result, from time to time there are still some foreign forces who are still determined to destroy us, and they often come up with N+6, N+7, which really disrupts the market!
On the morning of October 10, Chen Mo and Lei Jun, together with relevant staff, were invited to visit JD.com Group on behalf of Bi'an and Xiaomi.

In order to show his importance, Liu Qiangdong personally led JD.com executives to greet them downstairs in the company's headquarters building, and a few big words were displayed on the big screen above.

"Warmly welcome our two brother companies, Bi'an and Xiaomi, to visit us!"

Thanks to "Xiangxuxy" for the 3000 points reward, the boss is generous~orz~~~
