Chapter 458 Long-term Investment

Qu Li, Lei Jun has done a lot of big things in the United States, but there is no news about it from the outside world. When the real big things are known to the outside world, the dust has already settled. Therefore, intelligence work is very important. Many large groups have similar information.

Department of Intelligence Center.

Qu Li has become the richest man in China. It is impossible not to make preparations. Whether it is Fanxing Fund or Tianming Fund, it is private. Jumei Glory also needs to do similar things, otherwise how can it track the latest technology in the world.

"We must strengthen cooperation with internationally renowned universities, not only for technology, but also for talents, and we must regard this as long-term strategic execution." Qu Li communicated with Lei Jun. The competition among top companies is the competition for talents, and he is really, really envious of it.

Musk, this man's ability to brag is unparalleled and has attracted a large number of followers.

I don’t know if Musk is a reborn person. According to interviews with SpaceX and other internal team members, it is known that Musk makes many technical decisions and rarely makes mistakes. This is an exaggeration.

Although the first principle is very good, the way to apply it depends on the same intention. Different people interpret the same classic with very different connotations. Musk almost never makes mistakes in SpaceX. This ability is something that Qu Li cannot do no matter how he cheats.

Arrived.

Fortunately, Qu Li's ability to brag is getting stronger and stronger, and he has developed his own personality charm. This time he has gained a lot in Silicon Valley and learned a lot of information. Originally, Qu Li contacted the person in charge of MIPS and wanted to invest in this chip company.

Architect IP licensing companies to push them towards open source and embrace a larger market. The idea is good, there are people inside MIPS who are interested, and the company's market value has dropped to less than 500 million US dollars, and it is time to change.

After several communications, he encountered inexplicable resistance and finally rejected Qu Li's investment. However, someone told him that a team at the University of California, Berkeley, had developed an architecture called RISC-V.

Qu Li knew from the name that this thing was awesome, Ali Pingtou Ge, the most popular chip architecture in the country, became the hope of the whole village. That's why he came up with the idea of ​​cooperating with American universities.

"Only by mastering the lowest level of technology can we be invincible." Qu Li hopes that Lei Jun can give Honor the ability to build chips and operating systems from scratch.

"This matter is not simple."

"So, cooperate with universities to recruit their mature talents." As a capitalist, Qu Li naturally does not want to spend money to cultivate talents, but directly recruits mature talents. After all, employees like Japan who can stay in the same company are really valuable.

Too little, too little.

"Can we really acquire Motorola for US$3 billion?" Lei Jun couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, for a US$12.5 billion acquisition, Honor only had to pay US$3 billion in the end, which seemed a bit fantasy.

"Everything has a price." Qu Li

Different from the acquisition by a certain company in 2014, Motorola had only 3,500 employees at that time. Not to mention the loss of global operators and other channels, it must have shrunk a lot compared with 2011. Although Motorola now has many internal problems, it is a company.

An enterprise with an engineer culture that values ​​products has no conflict with Glory's high-quality culture.

"These losses are still worth it." After Lei Jun experienced the double oppression from Google and Microsoft, he was somewhat discouraged. Honor's heritage was not even comparable to that of Samsung, and the giant had the capital to basically resist.

Qu Li is not very satisfied with this negotiation. Without GMS in the future, many applications will not be able to run properly. Mobile phone manufacturers have lost too much autonomy. Thinking that giants like Samsung are unable to resist, he feels a lot more balanced. The only thing he worries about is

The Chrysanthemum Factory Incident happened in Glory. At that time, he did not have a telecommunications equipment business.

Therefore, Qu Liqi prepared a lot of Bitcoins for Glory. He wanted to collect 5% of the Bitcoins and disperse them into two funds: Jumei, Glory, Qiancheng, Time, Fenghua International, Fanxing and Tianming.

The blockchain technology behind Bitcoin has been developed by Jumei. After all, Jumei Logistics can use it and the whole process is traceable.

But Bitcoin is only a small niche, and the market for self-balancing vehicles and drones is unlikely to explode. Even if it is an electric vehicle solution, once it encounters force majeure, everything will be in vain. From this, we can see how powerful Chrysanthemum Factory is, and it is a small force that cannot be defeated.

Since it is unavoidable, there is no need to worry too much and do your best to avoid becoming the center of a confrontation between major powers.

But he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble still came to him. As soon as Qu Li came back from the United States, someone came to look for him.

"No, I'm not interested." Qu Li refused without thinking: "I have nothing to do with Vision Investment anymore, and I don't want to get involved in this kind of trouble."

"Dr. Jiang asked an orphan on his deathbed to write you a letter..." The visitor actually produced a letter. The chairman of Center International passed away due to illness at the end of June.

This is because Central International wants Qu Li to join the board of directors to help Zhang Yujing balance the forces of all parties and develop and expand the domestic chip foundry business.

No matter what he chooses, Qu Li will not let Center International produce chips for Honor. There is a generational gap in technology between this company and TSMC. This is an indisputable fact.

However, Qu Li was moved after seeing the sincerity expressed by Chairman Jiang in his letter. The sentiments of the older generation are trustworthy.

"I don't mean to shirk it. At Jumei and Glory, I don't have to worry about office politics, but joining the center's international board of directors and participating in intrigues are not what I'm good at." Although Qu Li was moved, he still didn't want to work in vain.

"Director Jiang believes in your ability, and we will cooperate. If necessary, we can let you become the major shareholder of Central International." said the person from Shanghai.

"This is even more impossible. I will not let Glory get into inexplicable trouble." Qu Li knew that he represented more than just himself. Qu Li did not believe that the American daddy did not focus on this company.

The visitor did not expect Qu Li to be so cold-blooded and betray Director Jiang's trust.

Qu Li has a clear understanding of himself. He does not understand chips. Whether he joins the center or becomes its independent director, it will be difficult for him to play a role. Even if he becomes the actual controller of the company, it will be useless if he cannot buy the latest equipment.

However, Qu Li knows the importance of 28nm advanced process technology to the automotive industry, and it seems important to help the center master this capability, as well as the localization of various equipment.

After the visitor left, Qu Li thought that the matter was over. Unexpectedly, he underestimated the determination of some people. Zhang Yiwen quickly called him to tell him that Huabei invested in Xiangjiang Investment and took a stake in Center International, with a shareholding ratio of close to 15%.

"Why did you agree?" Qu Li was angry.

"What can I do to make money without making money?" Zhang Yiwen asked back.

What should we do? Attend the Sino-Singapore board of directors with Zhang Yiwen and then observe?
