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

Chapter 832 The Sword-Wielding Project, Data Nuclear Weapon

On the evening of May 3, the signing was finalized, and Jia Yueting secretly left with his confidants. Afterwards, Chen Mo and Lei Jun had a private get-together.

During the meeting, after listening to Chen Mo's analysis of the cause and effect, Lei Jun sighed with emotion: "I never expected that Jia Yueting would pull off a dual contract, and I never expected that Sun Hongbin would trust him so much. It's simply unbelievable."

"So what?" Chen Mo took a sip of his drink. "Someone set up a shell company, forged seals, and swindled billions."

Some bosses have hundreds of mistresses and dozens of children, yet they aspire to be local tyrants.
There's also a mysterious island, where you can only imagine what's happening.
In short, the world is full of wonders.

How do you know so much?

"Who told you not to watch TV? You should pay more attention to major domestic and international events."

Lei Jun knew this kid was about to start spouting nonsense again, so he took a sip of his drink and didn't respond, knowing the kid wouldn't be able to hold back and would eventually say something.
Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Mo said, "The main problem is that Sun Hongbin has a biased view of the internet and was fooled by Jia Yueting. I bet when he finds out the truth, he'll want to tear Jia Yueting to pieces."

"Do you think that with Sun Hongbin's 150 billion and our 96 billion, Jia Yueting will really settle down and focus on building cars?" Lei Jun pressed.

"Ha, how could that be! Jia Yueting is good at logical thinking, excellent speaking skills, and macro-narrative, but in terms of actual work ability, he's far inferior to you. However, it's not bad for him to go abroad to build cars and reap profits from overseas investors. Actually, there's another track that's most suitable for Jia Yueting's abilities."

"What track?"

"Live-streaming e-commerce."

“How could we wait? You just said he would run away,” Lei Jun said thoughtfully. “...It does seem like a good option for him, but would Sun Hongbin be willing?”

"That depends on Jia Yueting's own abilities," Chen Mo said, changing the subject. "I think if Xiaomi wants to move into the high-end market, localization is one way, but there's another."

Lei Jun's face showed suspicion. "Why do you want me to build cars so badly? Don't think I don't know?"

Chen Mo touched his nose. "Uh? You know what?"

Lei Jun, with an expression that seemed to say, "Don't I know you too well?", quipped, "Are you worried that Beyond Intelligent Driving's sales won't be good in the future, and want Xiaomi to build cars to expand the market?"

"If you see through something but don't say it, you can still be good friends." Chen Mo laughed. "I've always preferred selling shovels; I'm too lazy to get into manufacturing—it's too tiring. But don't you think that if Xiaomi succeeds in making cars, it could benefit the entire Xiaomi ecosystem?"

Using an internet-based model to manufacture cars is a game-changer for current automakers. And you, a true workaholic, are never afraid of hardship or fatigue.

"But Xiao Mo, building a car isn't like building a phone, where you can just put together a few parts. The technology involved is much larger and more complex."

Lei Jun frowned slightly, "I don't have the conditions to build cars now. This year is a crucial year for the localization of the mobile phone business. Although Samsung is in crisis, the global top three position is still unclear."

In addition, the newly issued "Regulations on the Management of Newly Established Pure Electric Passenger Vehicle Enterprises" has raised the entry threshold, supposedly to "prevent blind expansion and low-level duplication of construction".

Beijing only issued one license plate, and it was given to BAIC.

"You've shown your true colors, haven't you? And you said you hadn't studied this before," Chen Mo joked.

"Which man doesn't like cars?" Lei Jun frankly stated, "The attitude towards new energy vehicles in China is indeed a good fit for Xiaomi's DNA. I'm also aware of the prospects you can see. But you know me, I always go with the flow. The time isn't right yet, but when the opportunity comes, I will seize it."

He then changed the subject, saying, "You have those sports cars in your garage, but I've never seen you drive them more than a few times. It's such a waste."

"The sports car seats are too hard; my back can't take it after driving for a long time," Chen Mo explained.

Lei Jun glanced at the goji berry thermos he always carried on his desk and chuckled, "You'd better be talking about cars."

Chen Mo poured Lei Jun a glass of beer: "Actually, there's another crucial reason: I think it's such a waste that you're not making cars."

"what reason?"

Do you believe in fate?

"Fortunately!"

"Look at your name, the character 'Lei' contains the radical for electricity, and the character 'Jun' contains the radical for vehicle. If you don't make cars, who will?"

Lei Jun was about to jokingly say that this was nonsense, but when he thought about what Chen Mo had done and what he wanted to do, and combined it with the analysis of his name, he fell silent for a moment.

For the first time, the option of building cars was imprinted so clearly in his mind.

Before parting, Lei Jun patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said, "If my name represents electric vehicles as the future of Xiaomi, then... what about your name?"

my name
As if struck by lightning, Chen Mo stood frozen in place.

The character “陈” contains the radical for “east”, and the character “默” can be broken down into “black” and “dog”.
The character “陈” contains the radical for east, and the character “默” can be broken down into “黑” and “犬”.

"East" represents the goal he wants to achieve, while "Black" and "Dog" represent his style of doing things—like a celestial dog stealing secrets, rampaging through the jungle of capital, cunning and ruthless, tearing and biting wildly, constantly growing stronger.

But could there be another interpretation, such as being in darkness, or a stray dog?
Pshaw, don't make promises you can't keep.

Chen Mo quickly shook his head and patted his forehead three times to get rid of the bad luck.

When I came to my senses, I found that Lei Jun had already left.

Chen Mo cursed inwardly that this guy was not decent at all, and even made him feel uneasy before leaving.

But what needs to be done still needs to be done.

After signing the contract with LeEco, Jia Yueting's final outpouring of emotion carried a hint of humility, as if he were about to pass away but his words still carried a sense of benevolence.

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Zhang Changfa. "The payments to Bi'an and Xiaomi will be made in a week. If Jia Yueting drives towards the airport then, immediately inform Sun Hongbin in advance." He's just going to leave this mess behind and walk away. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Other industries are too complicated for him to manage right now, but Chen Mo felt he still wanted to intervene in the internet industry.

If even this allowed Lao Jia to escape, then it just goes to show that everyone has their own destiny, and you can't force things.

After the May Day holiday, Chen Mo kept a close eye on the implementation of the training program, attending various member meetings during the day and offering suggestions from time to time.

As night fell, Chen Mo, who appeared optimistic but was actually pessimistic, kept thinking about that thought from before.

Finally, he made a bold decision and put his previous idea of ​​"enchanting" into practice.

Although my coding skills have deteriorated somewhat, my design skills are like riding a bicycle; once you learn them, you never forget them.

Over the next few days, Chen Mo used his evenings to design a system that was simple in function but complex in implementation, yet crucial to the other side.

Three days later, a bewildered Xu Chaojun was summoned to Chen Mo's office.

Seeing the group's CTO enter, Chen Mo waved for his assistant to leave and personally went to the small bar.
"You're here? Have a seat. What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?"

Xu Chaojun was a little confused by this, feeling that his boss was being unusually distant today: "I'm fine with anything."

"How about I give you half a cup of my freshly brewed premium ginseng and goji berry tea to try?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Xu Chaojun had barely touched the sofa when Chen Mozhen brought over a half-cup of tea. He jumped three feet in fright, looking anxious: "Boss, did I do something wrong? Tell me, I'll change, okay?"

"How many years have you been on the other side?" Chen Mo asked.

Xu Chaojun did the math in his head and replied, "6 years, 2 months and 13 days."

“You are the third senior executive of the group after Sun Ziwei and Chen Tong, even earlier than Zhang Xiaolong.”

Xu Chaojun, who was ignored by everyone in the industry, was almost in tears. "Boss, just tell me what you want me to do. I can't give you anything except myself."

"I plan to have you set up a group-wide central control system."

Chen Mo slowly explained his design concept.
As he listened, Xu Chaojun's eyes widened; he understood the purpose of the system.

The boss is trying to create a central system with extremely high privileges and a wide scope.

This system is just the foundation; the group's core businesses, such as WeChat, games, cloud computing, Ele.me, ride-hailing, Douyin, and Gaode Maps, will then be integrated into it.

The final page is very simple, with only a few buttons, each of which is a switch, and a master switch at the top.

Each switch controls the "life" of a specific business function, making the role of the master switch self-evident.

Moreover, the consideration and division of authority is extremely complex and rigorous, and ultimately there is only one person in control, namely Chen Mo.

To put it bluntly, this system was destined for destruction from the moment it was created!

The boss tasked him with creating a "data nuclear weapon" for the Beyond Group.

Xu Chaojun is a veteran of the Other Shore. He has always been aware of the Other Shore's rapid development and the boss's grand ideal: "It begins at the Other Shore and ends at the Other Shore."

But now things are going well on the other side, and the plan to go ashore is also going smoothly. Could it be that the boss has already foreseen some situations that they cannot perceive?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, has the other side reached such a state now?"

Chen Mo simply smiled and did not answer his question, but continued, "This project is classified at the highest level in the group, and only you know about it."

This is my design for modular breakdown, which is theoretically encapsulated and can achieve the effect of "blind men touching an elephant," meaning that the person in charge of each module cannot see the whole picture from their part.

You find trustworthy technologies to implement each step, and you personally complete the final assembly to form the final system.

After it goes live, I will have the business manager connect you with the integration process.

"If Dr. Lu asks..."

"I'll talk to him, and he won't ask any more questions. The other people in charge will also fully cooperate with you. Any other questions?"

"Well, this project needs a name."

Let's call it the "Sword-Wielding Project".

Xu Chaojun had clearly read The Three-Body Problem, and he wholeheartedly praised his boss's choice of name, exclaiming, "A great name!"

"If there are no problems, sign this."

Chen Mo pulled an agreement out of the drawer. The figures on it were tempting, but the penalties for breach of contract were even more outrageous.

This is a hush money payment with both enormous potential benefits and risks.

Xu Chaojun glanced at it, signed without hesitation, and then punched his chest with his fist, saying with a touch of childish angst: "All for the other shore!"

Chen Mo punched the other person hard in the chest, encouragingly.

"For everything on the other side!"
