As the dishes were served one after another, and a few glasses of red wine were consumed, Lei Jun's chatterbox also opened up.
"Speaking of Xunlei, I am really a little sad. I think the installed base was no less than that of QQ. Now it is so miserable. I also bear some responsibility."
Lei Jun looked a little ashamed, which was rare.
Most male compatriots should not be too familiar with the history of Xunlei.
In the turbulent era of the Internet, Xunlei relies on its fast download speed and the reputation of the vast number of netizens, and its installed capacity is not weaker than QQ.
Even Tengxun had to launch QQ Tornado as a counterweight to Xunlei to prevent the market from being monopolized by Xunlei.
But as the saying goes, times make heroes.
In the era of recklessness, thunder can win a huge reputation.
But in today's era, the situation has exceeded the expectations of the Xunlei team.
In the era of mobile Internet, everyone has long been accustomed to watching videos online, and the demand for downloading is no longer as strong as before.
As a company that started out as a download tool, this is a devastating blow.
Coupled with the fact that it has missed several key development nodes in succession, the market value at its peak exceeded one billion U.S. dollars, and now its market value has dropped to just over 200 million U.S. dollars.
Lei Jun talked a lot about the history of Xunlei, including his reasons for investing in Xunlei and the various power seizures that occurred in the process.
It can be said that Lei Jun also bears some responsibility for Xunlei's current misfortune.
As a latecomer, Lei Jun has considerable say power by relying on Xiaomi and Jinshan.
Not only did he personally recruit Chen Lei, the then top leader from Tengxun Cloud, but he also pushed Chen Lei to the position of CEO of Xunlei.
But Chen Lei, for Xunlei, can be said to have mixed success and failure.
Xunlei has improved because of him, but this man's private life is too chaotic, and he also uses his power to benefit a company he invested in and his lover, which is definitely intolerable to any investor.
Maybe Lei Jun would turn a blind eye out of affection.
But if Chen Dongcheng is allowed to take over Xunlei, unstable factors like Chen Lei will definitely be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Mr. Chen, since you are willing to take over, we, Xiaomi and Jinshan, naturally want it. As for Chen Lei, how do you decide? You don't have to consider me."
Lei Jun hesitated, then sighed and did not plead for Chen Lei.
Although Chen Lei is a person with strong technical ability, he is also very far-sighted.
But the chaos in his private life is his biggest weakness!
Chen Lei met an ordinary female HR named Dong Xue at Tengxun Cloud before.
Ever since he became CEO and took over the power of the company.
Dong Xue's position has been promoted one after another.
Although he obviously doesn’t understand anything, many departments have to report to Dong Xue.
Not to mention, arrange all of Dong Xue's best friends and relatives to the company.
If you don’t fire this kind of person, why don’t you keep him here for the New Year?
Lei Jun may be thinking that he has good abilities, but Chen Dongcheng has many people with good abilities.
With such a good platform, many people will naturally be interested.
"If Chen Lei is willing to actively cooperate, I can ignore his past, but if Chen Lei is careful, then I can't be blamed."
Chen Dongcheng thought about it and estimated that Chen Lei should not be so bold, and it could be regarded as giving Lei Jun some face.
"Then I'll thank Mr. Chen first!"
Lei Jun's face suddenly looked much better, and he raised his glass to express his thanks.
If Chen Dongcheng doesn't pursue Chen Lei's previous troubles, it's enough to give him face.
The two reached a consensus, and Lei Jun drank too much.
How could he compare to the young and strong Chen Dongcheng, who got drunk repeatedly after drinking several bottles of red wine.
Lei Jun's secretary and driver helped Lei Jun back to the hotel.
Chen Dongcheng told Xie Jingyu to pay the bill and planned to return to Ji Jiaying's place.
On the way, he called Hong Jun and asked him to organize manpower as soon as possible, and Xunlei would also be merged into Cao Cao Entertainment.
Xunlei has three main businesses. One is online subscription, which is selling members, but its proportion is getting smaller and smaller.
In addition, relying on advertising not only makes less money, but also affects user experience.
Finally, there is Xunlei’s only core business, cloud computing.
Among them, the Star Cloud for the enterprise is the top priority.
The so-called star field cloud can be simply understood as the current faucet network in each house, replacing the original method of collecting water from a water cellar.
Xunlei has just migrated this phenomenon to broadband terminals.
Traditional cloud computing giants like Ali use a large number of self-built nodes (faucets).
For example, Alibaba Cloud has built more than 1,000 nodes in more than 30 countries around the world.
Xunlei, on the other hand, adopts the method of sharing user nodes.
In other words, your faucet can also be used by me.
The price is that I pay you "gold coins", which can be directly converted into cash.
In this way, Xunlei is simply a "white wolf with empty gloves".
The benefits are naturally huge, and broadband costs are greatly reduced.
Xunlei’s Xingyu CDN quotation is naturally much lower than that of its competitors.
For example, Alibaba Cloud’s CDN price is 0.17 yuan per GB.
The price of Xunlei Starfield CDN is 0.099 yuan per GB, which is twice as fast.
How could many companies not join in the effort to reduce costs?
Therefore, if Chen Lei was invited to Xunlei by Lei Jun, he really has the real stuff.
As soon as Star Cloud appeared, it was really welcomed by enterprises.
For example, iQiyi, Kuaishou, and Bilibili are all customers of Xunlei Star Cloud business.
Even so, nothing could stop Chen Dongcheng from his determination to fire Chen Lei.
No matter how talented you are, if your character is questionable and you even use the company's resources to fill your own stomach, it is really intolerable.
Chen Lei's only reliance is Lei Jun. Now that Lei Jun has agreed to sell his shares, it's unclear whether Chen Lei can handle the original founding team.
With my thoughts on my mind, the car stopped at the entrance of Shuangxi Garden.
Chen Dongcheng got out of the car and took Xie Jingyu and the others into the community. It was extremely hot in Pengcheng in July.
Waves of heat were blowing towards my face. Under the street lights in the community, I could occasionally see a few girls with good figures jogging in tight sportswear. The white legs under their miniskirts were reflected brightly.
Those who can live in such a high-end community must be rich and beautiful themselves.
Or it could be a wrapped canary like Ji Jiaying.
After entering the password to open the door, he saw his right leg being pulled from behind by Ji Jiaying and put on his shoulder.
This flexibility is amazing!
Chen Dongcheng understands this very well and wishes to give Ji Jiaying a few likes every time.
Ji Jiaying is undoubtedly a very smart woman.
Knows how to advance and retreat, was born as a flight attendant, has a slim waist, long legs, and a pretty face.
Due to regular maintenance, the skin is almost tender and hydrated.
Coupled with practicing yoga, the body is extremely soft. No man will not love a woman of this style.
Ji Jiaying happened to look up and saw the man's fiery eyes, as if she wanted to swallow him.
Su Xiaoyu, who was watching TV not far away, suddenly felt that the snacks in her hands no longer tasted good.
It's not that she doesn't want to practice yoga, it's that because of her figure, doing Ji Jiaying's kind of movements is just asking for trouble.
"Xiaoyu, it's not past midnight yet, he is mine."
Su Xiaoyu and Ji Jiaying's eyes met, almost as if they had a mental connection.
"Keep your voices down, I'm going to rest first."
Su Xiaoyu angrily threw the snacks into the trash can and returned to the bedroom tremblingly.
But before waiting for a while, Su Xiaoyu frowned, listened to the door for a while, and suddenly blushed: "Bah, this didn't happen outside, it started in the living room!"
I looked at the clock in the bedroom, 22:34.
"There's still an hour and a half, and I have two days!"
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoyu suddenly felt very good. As for the live broadcast?
Ever since the relationship was officially confirmed by Chen Dongcheng, Su Xiaoyu has become a Buddhist.
Almost only when I am in a good mood, I will live broadcast once.
I can't help it, having a great boyfriend is so willful.
