Wei Qingfan was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, fearing that he had heard wrongly.
Xiao Jiasheng thought the boss didn’t know him, so he introduced: "My name is Lei Jun. He used to be the CEO of Kingsoft and is now an angel investor. He seems to have heard about the Luoshen system we made and wanted to come over and have a look. You talk."
"I know this guy, but it's a little surprising."
Wei Qingfan couldn't help laughing. He never expected such a scene. As for Lei Jun's purpose, it goes without saying that cooperation is impossible, but naturally there is no need to create any estrangement over such a trivial matter. .
He smiled again and then asked: "Do you know each other?"
"No, he found me through Mr. Lin."
The Mr. Lin that Xiao Jiasheng mentioned was Lin Bin, one of the core figures in Xiaomi's entrepreneurship and later the president and vice chairman of Xiaomi. Wei Qingfan had also had contact with him before, but no agreement was reached.
"oh……"
Wei Qingfan suddenly realized that according to his memory, it should be this year that Lei Jun went to Meizu to visit Carpenter Huang and wanted to recommend Lin Bin there and hoped that Carpenter Huang could provide 5% of the shares, but Huang refused. After that, Lei Jun Lin Bin was also the core figure when he made up his mind to start a business.
He thought for a moment and said, "Did he say what time it was?"
Xiao Jiasheng said: "He said it depends on your time."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "Then just hurry up early instead of late. I'll be quite free at noon."
He had just made an appointment with Li Miaoyu and wanted to have dinner with her at noon, but Li Miaoyu refused. He just happened to meet the famous Rebus.
Although Wei Qingfan was also in the mobile phone industry in his previous life, he had never met Lei Jun. Not counting the press conference, this was still the first meeting between the two.
"Okay, then I'll tell him and let you know later."
Xiao Jiasheng agreed, but then he felt something was wrong. Shouldn't this be the job of a secretary?
By the way, with Mr. Wei's high net worth and his young age, it should be quite normal to hire a secretary... Why not?
He quickly responded to Wei Qingfan's message on QQ and made an appointment at a nearby restaurant. Lei Jun and Lin Bin were there, so Wei Qingfan invited Xiao Jiasheng to join him.
After getting off work at noon, he drove Xiao Jiasheng with him. When he arrived at the place, Lei Jun had already arrived, but Lin Bin hadn't come yet.
Lei Jun is just forty years old this year, at a time when his life is turning upside down. He is wearing sneakers, dark blue jeans, a black lapel T-shirt, and a black jacket. He looks very casual. He is not too different from the later Xiaomi Lei, but his clothes look good. It still needs to look more refined.
This style of dressing, which is completely different from traditional elite suits and ties, originated from Steve Jobs. He was also the first to put this kind of lifestyle clothing on the stage. It is called "Normcore" in English, which means extremely simple dressing style.
After Jobs, this style of dressing was borrowed by Facebook founder Zuckerberg. He often appeared in public wearing casual pants and T-shirts. As a result, he received a lot of praise. He often said that "people don't like to spend money" and "people live a pure life." "What people are pursuing is technological progress" and other nonsense.
In fact, a T-shirt this person wears costs 500 US dollars, which is much more expensive than a business suit. In addition, when this person buys a house, he has to buy all the surrounding houses to ensure his personal safety.
Privacy...not to mention other words and practices of later generations, they have nothing to do with "not liking to spend money" and "pure life", they are just pursuit of capitalists.
After these two people, this style of dressing has been imitated by more elites, and has spread from Chou Country to the whole world. Many domestic upstarts also like this style. For example, Lei Jun in front of me often wears jeans.
T-shirts and other clothing that look very affordable.
Compared with traditional suits and leather shoes, this style of dressing is very helpful in shortening the distance between you and consumers.
Wei Qingfan originally thought that Mr. Lei in later generations would change his dressing style deliberately for this reason. He didn't expect that the same would be the case when they met now. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then he thought about this person who seemed to be a fan of Steve Jobs... I don't know if it's true or not.
The clothes seem to be true... maybe Mr. Lei doesn't know that this comes from Steve Jobs...
"I just don't know how much it costs... Anyway, it must be more expensive than what I'm wearing..."
Wei Qingfan secretly complained that all the clothes he wore were from his senior schoolmate. Except for underwear, other T-shirts, jackets, trousers, shoes, and socks all cost less than 200 yuan each.
"Hello, Mr. Lei!"
"Oh, Mr. Wei is so good, Mr. Wei is so young, so young and promising..."
The two of them greeted each other warmly but unfamiliarly, then sat down and exchanged simple greetings.
Xiao Jiasheng and Lei Jun are not familiar with each other. Fortunately, Mr. Lei is very enthusiastic, ordering food and chatting, and they are both frequent visitors, so it is not awkward.
Lin Bin arrived soon. Wei Qingfan had tried to invite him before, but failed to reach an agreement. When they met again now, there was no sign of any grudge, and they greeted him with the same enthusiasm.
“I saw it online a few days ago, it’s so well done!”
After chatting for a while and waiting for the food to be served, Lei Jun started to get down to business from the Luoshen system, "I didn't expect that a domestic team could create such a system! It's really unexpected..."
"We're just starting out, so it's too flattering."
The two argued for a while, and Lei Jun finally got down to business. He asked about the operating status in a tactful manner and expressed his willingness to invest and cooperate.
In later generations, there has been no conclusion as to whether Lei Jun started his own business after failing to invest in Meizu, or whether he wanted to found Xiaomi and therefore stole from Meizu, and it is difficult to reach a conclusion.
But in any case, investment is impossible. Wei Qingfan cannot give out shares until the company structure is clear and completely stable. Otherwise, there is no need to reject Lin Bin in the first place.
"I have no such plan for the time being. In fact, this matter was discussed with Mr. Lin last time. I am not planning to raise funds or go public in the future... I have all the equity in my own hands. It is easier to pay dividends to employees and so on.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Qingfan had already told Lin Bin about this matter before. Lei Jun still wanted to talk about it, so naturally he thought it could be discussed and said with a smile: "To the employees
It is a good thing to pay dividends. If you want the horse to run, you must give it grass. This matter is easy to discuss. And if you continue to develop like this, you should also want to make mobile phones, right? To make hardware, it will directly burn money.
!”
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "I really don't have any plans for the moment, I'm just raising funds."
This means there is nothing to talk about.
The smile that had always been on Lei Jun's face couldn't help but froze, but he soon smiled again and said: "It's okay, business cannot be done without righteousness, there will always be opportunities for cooperation in the future..."
I came over Qingfeng, naturally not to show off and make enemies, but also started chatting enthusiastically.
He had to go to work in the afternoon, so Wei Qingfan chose lunch because he wanted to avoid drinking. In addition to driving, he naturally didn’t drink. He mainly chatted, ate, and ordered a pot of Dahongpao. The four of them chatted and drank.
Wei Qingfan and Xiao Jiasheng then said goodbye and left.
After sending Wei Qingfan and two others away, Lin Bin got to Lei Jun's car and asked, "What should I say now?"
"Let's take a look at Meizu."
Lei Jun sighed. His first choice was Meizu. He had this idea and plan since he saw the M8 at the beginning of this year, and he had already made preliminary contacts with Meizu.
Ancient poetry was an accident. It is just getting started, but the Luoshen system is already gaining momentum... If we start over again, we will lose the lead...
He sighed, then smiled and said: "This young man... is pretty awesome."
"What a great idea."
Lin Bin also nodded, and then shook his head, "But the vision is too small. Children with bad tempers will always eat alone, and they will not go far."
"Not necessarily, he even said that he was going to pay dividends... maybe he felt that holding the shares in his own hands would make him more secure?"
Lei Jun said thoughtfully, then laughed, "He can spend so much money to start a company. His family background must be very unusual, and there must be professional people in the company. It is impossible that he can't even figure out the shares..."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Lei Jun said: "I will go to Meizu to have a look... and try to see as much as possible..."
The emergence of ancient poetry, especially the Luoshen system, shocked him greatly and gave him a sense of urgency. After returning home, he quickly dealt with some matters at hand and flew to Zhuhai the next day.
For Wei Qingfan, this is more akin to the feeling of traveling back to the Three Kingdoms era to collect military commander cards, unlocking familiar characters from previous lives.
However, if Lei Jun had already planned to start his own business, then the emergence of ancient poetry will definitely accelerate the establishment of Xiaomi. It is impossible to delay the establishment until next year and launch it in August 2011.
Even if Lei Jun still really wants to invest in Meizu cooperation at this time, the process will be accelerated...
As for Huawei, although some people attribute Huawei's focus on the mobile phone industry to Xiaomi, in fact the greater part of the reason lies with Meizu, that is, the M8, which has been released at this time.
For a company of this level, such strategic adjustments cannot be easily made in a short period of time - Yu Dazui is already the president of the wireless department at this time. This level of personnel transfer shows Huawei's determination to enter the mobile phone industry.
If not, the subsequent series of drastic reforms that Yu Dazui carried out after he took over the consumer business and almost changed his subordinates would not have received support from above.
In other words, the emergence of ancient poetry will speed up Xiaomi, but it will not speed up Huawei in the short term... But this possibility cannot be ruled out... This is a real and dynamic world, and everyone is alive.
The elite...the person I needed to look up to in my previous life, and should not underestimate the enemy...
Back at the company, Wei Qingfan silently reflected and considered, but did not waste too much thought, because it was meaningless. Doing what you should do is the most important thing. If you can successfully follow Xiaomi's road to the top, then
On the way to Huawei, the only opponent within the rules is Xingguo. Huawei will have to wait until 18 years later to truly accumulate and make progress, and have enough time for itself to dominate.
He went to school for two classes in the afternoon and returned to the company after class. After get off work, he ran to Peking University, planning to persuade Li Wanyi through Li Miaoyu to ask the senior sister to come to the capital first, and then go home together to hold the puppy.
