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

Chapter 378 IT Scavenger

Mi'an Wucai City is on the basement floor.

The other side cafeteria was bustling with people.

Li Min, who has the same name as the Diablo mage, was sitting at a table in a corner and dining alone. While eating, he was thinking about the meeting that his boss had just called to discuss the needs of the WeChat Spring Festival Gala event. He planned to go back after dinner and have another meeting to list his work plan for the next week.

At this time, he heard a somewhat discordant voice coming from the right front of him. After hearing the content of the conversation, his brows gradually frowned.
"Can't we negotiate 50 billion?"

".Then this is not a matter of money or power. There must be a reason behind it."

".Okay, I got it. I'll go back and check my schedule, and then you can make an appointment with the other party for a time that's convenient for me. OK, bye!"

Li Min sighed secretly and was speechless.

Those who can eat here are basically colleagues who work in the other side. Even his boss Xu Liang doesn't dare to brag like this. Does he think that he is talking about game coins?
How come there are still boasters and braggarts on the other side of the river? All they talk about are billion-dollar deals and daily schedules. Do you think you are the boss?
He has come into contact with capable rich second-generation colleagues on the other side of the ocean. They are all very humble, low-key and approachable. Even if you brag about hundreds of millions, I won't find it so hard to swallow.

With good intentions, Li Min wanted to advise this newcomer from the other side to be low-key. The other side emphasizes pragmatism, and one will not be able to stay long if he engages in those empty talk. It is better to turn back as soon as possible.

Maybe in other companies, he wouldn't be bothered by it, but on the other side, it is his responsibility to curb this unhealthy trend!

The more Li Min thought about it, the angrier she got. She slammed the table and stood up, "I'm talking to this person."

When he looked up and saw the face of the man sitting diagonally opposite him, his originally cold and hostile demeanor immediately changed. Li Min quietly pressed his toes on the floor, his expression still in the awkward state of glaring and laughing.
"Hello, old boss!"

Chen Mo felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name. He thought that he must be an old employee, so he could only find a random topic.
"Well, OK, the food in the cafeteria is quite tasty."

“Hehe.”

The best way at this time is for either party to quickly bring up a topic and then wrap it up and leave, but Li Min was so nervous that he stuttered a little, and his thoughts were even more stuttering.

Then the two of them looked at each other in silence for a while, the words fell to the ground, and the conversation became cold.

Li Min felt like every second was a torment, but luckily his boss's cell phone ringing saved him.

"The boss is calling, answer the phone quickly."

"Well, you are busy, you are busy!"

Li Min felt relieved and withdrew from the BOSS's territory. He secretly observed with his peripheral vision that his boss was on the phone. He quickly lowered his head and ate the remaining food. All his previous work ideas and thoughts were gone. He only thought about when the three-bedroom and one-living-room apartment would be completed so that he could move in quickly.

At the same time, you feel a little annoyed, which makes you impulsive. You don't look up and see the person clearly before thinking about how to deal with him. Billions are a big deal for the boss, tens of billions are what you should expect.

After all, the company paid the medical expenses to save his father's life, and he still has a letter of condolence written by his boss at home.

Now his father is in the recovery stage after the operation and comes to Beijing for a checkup every six months. The doctor said that if there are no abnormalities in three years, everything will be fine.

Li Min originally thought that the boss would recognize him, but it turned out that the boss obviously didn't remember him.

Li Min thought about it and saw that dozens of families similar to his had received help from the company on the intranet forum from time to time. It was a big deal for the employee's family, but perhaps in the eyes of the boss it was just a small act of good deeds.

The fact that he did not expect anything in return for his kindness made him admire his boss even more.
In his father's words, people like the boss who are kind-hearted and have a heart as compassionate as a bodhisattva should be placed in a temple and worshipped.

Li Min smiled knowingly. Why does it matter if we have known each other before we meet? As long as the other side is good, as long as I work hard and silently contribute to the other side, it will be enough. I will learn from my boss.

After realizing this, Li Min began to calm down and started eating faster so that he could go back to work.

Chen Mo had no idea about the other party's complicated psychological process and was only slightly embarrassed.

He saw that the caller on his phone was Zhang Xuhao. Why did this guy suddenly contact him? Chen Mo answered the call.
"Mr. Chen, our Ele.me needs help from the other side."

"The money aspect or the people aspect?"

"Well, the technical side."

"Tell me what you want to hear."

Zhang Xuhao was chattering on the phone about the pain points that Ele.me was currently facing. Chen Mo listened while eating, and occasionally hummed in agreement.

"Okay, I got it. I'll help you solve it later." After the phone call, Chen Mo had just finished his meal.

Chen Mo stood up and found that the handsome guy opposite him, who was second only to himself in appearance, had left without knowing when.

Go back upstairs.

Chen Mo was planning to work overtime, bah, he was wrong, let's start over, working for his own company can't be called overtime, it should be called having a strong sense of professionalism.

According to the information Zhou Shouzi has collected about AutoNavi, including various external financial reports, rumors, development history, financing status, etc. since its establishment, they are classified and very detailed.

In this way, he knew both himself and his enemy. Based on the information and his historical memory of AutoNavi, Chen Mo spent one hour making a negotiation plan with AutoNavi.

For today's users, maps seem to be only useful for looking up addresses online and for vehicle navigation.

It has a huge impact on Internet companies, especially those like Bi'an.

The most valuable thing about map applications is their huge amount of geographic information data, which requires a long period of accumulation and can form an extremely high moat that is difficult to copy.

Secondly, map services are also one of the most basic underlying services. In the future, many industries, including e-commerce, group buying, navigation, shared travel, and express delivery, will be inseparable from it.

During the four-party meeting on the day when Mi'an SF Express was established, the four of them also talked about the important supporting role of maps for the Internet in the future.

Is Amap a map? It is a strategic map for future Internet companies and also one of the traffic entrances.

Baidu has Baidu Maps, Tencent has Tencent Maps, and only Alibaba does not have a map.

Historically, Jack Ma did not want to acquire Amap because he felt that Alibaba did not have any map-related business and therefore did not need it.

Finally, it was under Wang Jian's insistence that AutoNavi is not only a navigation tool but also a bridge connecting the real and digital worlds, etc., that Ma changed his mind and spent a huge amount of money to acquire AutoNavi.

The time seems to be between 13 and 15, and the acquisition amount seems to be at least US$10 billion. I don’t remember the exact amount. At that time, the industry was still pessimistic, saying that Lao Ma was cheated by a scammer again, etc.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, AutoNavi became the behind-the-scenes hero of Alibaba's business empire. AutoNavi has never been a profit machine, but its potential value is ten times the acquisition price.

China has set up high entry barriers to the online map service market, and it is basically impossible for foreign companies to enter the field of navigation electronic map production in my country.

Baidu Maps is provided by NavInfo.

Therefore, up to now, there are only three companies in my country that have obtained the Class A mapping qualification, and only NavInfo, AutoNavi, and Carlead have launched their own brand of navigation electronic map products.

WeChat's map services, such as LBS positioning and other functions, are all in cooperation with Baidu Maps, but there are currently problems such as long bug feedback links and low efficiency of joint investigation.

In fact, Tencent did not have a map business at the beginning. It was only after the development of WeChat that it needed LBS positioning services and cooperated with Amap.

Well, have you found any problems? As long as we take over Gaode, it will be equivalent to occupying half of the LBS market and also grasping the key point of WeChat LBS.

As for NavInfo and Carlife, Chen Mo had thought about it. He remembered that the latter seemed to have become a nobody later on, and Baidu would definitely be eyeing the former and would not let him succeed. Even if he acquired it, there would be suspicion of monopoly, so there was no need.

An overall evaluation and analysis of Amap this year shows that not only Amap, but all map service providers are showing a shrinking trend.

The current situation of AutoNavi's business line relying on in-car navigation as its core revenue will continue to be maintained, but due to the emergence of online mobile map navigation, the annual reduction in in-car map data protocol licensing fees, and price pressure after entering the mid- and low-end car market, the proportion of in-car navigation business in total revenue is decreasing.

At the same time, R&D, sales and administrative expenses have all increased to varying degrees, especially sales expenses, which are mainly caused by the increase in promotion and marketing expenses required for brand and product promotion.

Although the revenue was nearly 100 million US dollars, both the revenue and net profit showed a downward trend compared with last year.

In fact, to put it in a broader sense, Chen Mo is one of the shareholders of AutoNavi. How do you say this?

At the beginning, Shunwei invested US$2000 million in AutoNavi, accounting for 3% of the shares and becoming one of AutoNavi's shareholders.

Chen Mo also owns 20% of Shunwei's shares, which means that he is also a shareholder of AutoNavi.

So last year, I suggested using Sister Zhiling’s voice, which boosted AutoNavi’s revenue and also gave me a tortuous experience.

Of course, AutoNavi subsequently returned to its original historical trajectory and continued to be sluggish, and its stock price is the best barometer of the market.

Chen Mo clicked on the Gaode Navigation which was only launched in April this year, and was shocked after using it for less than ten minutes.

Ordinary apps accept advertisements by inserting them at the opening screen of the app or by jumping out of the secondary menu. However, Amap has made advertisements more interesting, with not only pictures and texts, but also "magic attacks" in voice mode.

At the beginning and end of Gaode Navigation, advertisements are played using voice. During the navigation process, the driver is also reminded to drink Wanglaoji when he is tired and sleepy. It looks very ugly.

Oh, by the way, this year is the first year that Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji have been fighting for their trademarks, so the advertising is also very aggressive. Chen Mo remembers that the two companies had a long-lasting feud before it was settled. It was also a heart-wrenching and bloody drama.

In short, he is becoming more and more confident in the negotiations to acquire AutoNavi.

If you want to buy something, and want to buy it cheaply, you need to constantly find all kinds of faults through words to lower the other person's psychological expectations, make him think that the product in his hand is worthless, pull it repeatedly, and then pretend to leave and wait for the other person to stay, then the deal is done.

To put it bluntly, it is similar to the principle of PUA. They will first deny everything about you, making you doubt your life, and then suddenly give you a compliment that will make you grateful. In the long run, you will become what the other person wants you to be and lose yourself.

The target groups of this theory are often couples and employees.
But for a businessman, a businessman who has a good business, his will is usually very firm and he will not easily doubt himself, so the difficulty of PUA increases exponentially. This may be the case for ordinary people, but Chen Mo is well versed in this. When he was interviewing for Xiaomi, Lei Jun was the best proof.

If he remembered correctly, the current boss of Gaode should be Cheng Congwu. Chen Mo didn't think Cheng Congwu's rank was higher than Xiao Lei's.

Well, then I'll scare him to death.

Another hour later, Chen Mo recorded in his notebook various major issues regarding AutoNavi Maps in terms of strategic development, historical issues, commercialization and many other aspects, and then wrote some big plans about Bi'an's acquisition of AutoNavi's magnificent blueprint.

After finishing all this, he called Xu Chaojun and asked him to dispatch some testing teams from the other side to conduct a 360-degree test on Amap for three days tomorrow, specifically looking for bugs and anti-human user experience.

Combining Taoism and magic, you will be successful in everything.

In certain special circumstances, deception means money. Otherwise, where did the massive P2P funds and the sky-high subsidies for new energy PPT car manufacturing come from?
After Chen Mo finished all these, he looked at the time. It was almost 10 o'clock, which was too late, so he quickly ended his busy day.

Turn off the lights and leave!
The lights in the last room on the top floor of Mi'an Wucai City went out.

High-end warfare often requires only the most unpretentious methods.
The 20s was the period of the Cold War between the East and the West.

During this period, East Germany used a handyman named Amhan Schneider to obtain military intelligence from West Germany and NATO by picking up garbage near NATO arsenals.

For 12 years, Schneider continuously provided East Germany with relevant intelligence such as NATO's military deployment in Europe, weapons and equipment inventory data, and the specifications and models of missiles deployed by the United States in Europe and their combat methods, which almost covered all the secrets of this arsenal.

This incident became known as the Garbage Man Leak.

All we can say is that this world is just a makeshift team, whether in the 20s or the 80s.

You can't see the stars in Beijing at night. It's only in recent years that people have had an impression and concept of the word smog.

When the moon was also blocked by clouds, a garbage recycling station near Mi'an Wucai City became a dark corner where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

A few spots of light flickered rhythmically in the air like fireflies. That was the light of nicotine burning in the air.

"Boss, there's another car coming."

"Well, tell the brothers to get ready to work!" The man threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it with his toes and twisted it twice.

The six-piece set provided by the company includes a gas mask, rubber gloves, high rubber shoes, a sanitation suit, a front backpack made of special materials, and a standard weapon similar to a nine-toothed rake.

There are three brothers guarding this garbage spot today, and there are also people waiting at other spots. There is nothing we can do because the company is short of staff and cannot recruit anyone.

Their business is called Garbage Data Collection Intelligence, commonly known as IT Information Scavengers in the industry, although some people who don’t understand or are not very friendly call them IT Dung Beetles.

Whatever.

In fact, it is to take orders from some large IT companies and provide them with some internal business information of reference value.

Although it sounds shameful, the entry threshold is still not low. Not only does it require perseverance and physical strength for repetitive work, but it also requires a full range of IT knowledge reserves. Otherwise, if you can't read a single word, you will return empty-handed even if you go to a treasure mountain.

Of course, there is one recruitment requirement: those with rhinitis will be given priority.

In fact, they have many ways to obtain internal information of some IT companies, such as pretending to infiltrate, taking the opportunity to get to know the employees of the target company and then ask them questions, buying information to make a profit, etc. Being a scavenger is the most helpless choice.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who made this damn crappy company, Bi'an, so special?

It was impossible to break in. After all the efforts of the entire company, someone finally got in, but it turned out to be a waste of effort, which made the boss very angry.

And the formalities were also a miss. They found that every one of the employees of the Other Shore was very loyal and alert. Once they started talking about topics related to the Other Shore, they would immediately become alert, as if there were alarm bells installed in their heads.

If they want to bribe them, well, how should I put it? As for the welfare benefits for employees of the other side, the temptations they offer are not competitive in the eyes of others. Anyone with a common sense will know how to choose.

Scarcity makes things valuable. The value of information related to the other side in their industry is on the same level as that of BAT.

Therefore, in the past two months, they have been guarding the garbage stations near the other side every day, waiting for information from the destined ones.

The nature of their business is similar to sales. Sometimes it depends not only on strength but also on luck. If you don’t open for half a year, you can make a living for half a year after you open.

Even so, there are still peers like me. In this world, it's really not easy to do any job.

The man came to his senses when he saw a garbage truck slowly preparing to "unload".

The hand he slowly raised was like a starting gun. The three younger brothers behind him turned on the small lights on their masks, bent down, squatted, and raised their heads, each taking their positions.

Wow!
This is the sound of wealth beckoning to them.

Seeing the boss waving his hand forward, the three people behind him rushed out. More than ten meters away, there were several figures in the shadows that rushed towards them like arrows. They were their colleagues.

This is the place these "gold diggers" fight for every day.

Let the brothers charge first. The man who was the leader was very calm. He first put his hands together very devoutly and bowed to the garbage mountain. Then he made the sign of a cross with his head, chest and shoulders. After receiving blessings from the East and the West, he slowly walked forward.

After unloading the truck, the two real sanitation workers at the garbage station just glanced at these lunatics, turned a blind eye, continued with their work, and drove away.

After all, these days there are people who pay them to rummage through the garbage and help to sort it out after they are done. Who would have the time to create trouble when there is such a good thing going on?

The driver on the garbage truck sighed to his companion, "Hey, life is not easy nowadays. Looking at these people, I feel that our job is pretty good."

"But do they make so much money picking up empty bottles and waste paper? They pay us 100 yuan a day, which is almost as much as my monthly salary."

"Don't tell me, I heard that someone in Magic City became a billionaire by collecting garbage."

"My goodness, the Magic City is indeed the Magic City. Even the garbage collectors have become the upper class."

"Stop talking nonsense, there are still several cars, get to work"

The garbage mountain is huge, and there are many people there, and it is being lost bit by bit over time.

People's enthusiasm for picking through the garbage mountain remains unabated and they are working very hard, even though they know it is like fishing for precious treasures in the ocean.

I don’t know how long it took, but one of them was flipping through the books and his eyes lit up, as if he had found something incredible, and he couldn’t help but let out a low cry.

The next moment, just as he was about to put the paper into his bag, a hand next to him grabbed the other end of the crumpled paper.

"Brother, isn't it too much to want to keep it all for yourself?"

"Things without an owner belong to the virtuous. Let go!"

"Then let's do it on our own, drink!"

The two of them exerted a little force with their hands, and with a swish, the thin paper was torn into two irregular pieces.

When they discovered something was wrong, the two groups were in a standoff, and the situation quickly escalated and was on the verge of breaking out.

When they each looked at the contents clearly, they discovered that this was only a small part of it. There must be more of the document in this treasure mountain.

The leaders of both sides looked at each other. Although they couldn't see each other's faces, they could see the word "valuable" in each other's eyes through the masks.

They immediately put aside their hostility and gave the order in unison, "Search!"

These people pounced on the huge garbage mountain in front of them with the attitude of searching mountains and filling the sea, because they knew the value contained behind these few pieces of paper, which could take them ten years of work.

And they also have to race against time because the next truckload of garbage will arrive in 30 minutes.

The next morning, October 10, was a day of carnival for scalpers.

On this day, Apple's new products were officially launched in China.

The iPhone 5 was promoted by domestic scalpers as Steve Jobs's last remaining work. They also kept up with the times and learned how to add emotional support and hype.

The original price of iPhone 5 was 5 yuan, but suddenly it skyrocketed like the stock market, from 6 to 7 yuan, and finally to more than 8 yuan. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the price exceeds 5 yuan. The original price of iPad was 4 yuan, but it is now selling for more than yuan, and the price of iPad Mini has also exceeded yuan.

Chen Mo looked at the news and the photos. Even though it was raining heavily in Shanghai, there were still a lot of people queuing with umbrellas in front of the Apple store. He didn't know whether they were real consumers or scalpers who wanted to resell the products.

Go ahead and grab it, grab it all you want, and ten years from now you’ll be crying when you’re about to smash your hands.

Chen Mo was very disappointed with his product as he played with the Xiaomi X3 in his hand. Starting from the Xiaomi X2, Xiaomi's appearance has evolved to the design style of the iPhone 6.

Looking at the iPhone 5's 4-inch flat body, from the appearance, the X3 with a 4.7-inch screen can easily beat it, without even using the X2.

(Xiaomi X2 on the left, iPhone 5 on the right)

From the overall appearance, screen size, battery life, and customizability of mios, there is little difference on paper except for the hardware configuration, but this difference is rarely perceived by users in daily use.

Can the sense of superiority brought by the Apple brand really bridge the gap of 5 yuan?

2499的魅族MX2、2999的小米X3、8000+有价无市的iPhone5
Are imported apples so delicious? Chen Mo couldn’t understand this. Isn’t he just crazy?
If you have the money to buy an iPhone, the combined cost of MX2+X3 is less than 5 yuan.
You can use the remaining difference to buy a pad, isn’t that great?
