Chapter 90 Initial Glory
Li Yinan was still a little hesitant when he received Qu Li's call, but he was still moved when he learned that Honor's other founder Zhou Shaoning had returned from Google.
"Although Warwick is good, there is still a H3C that overlaps with Harbor. Even if Warwick wants to sell H3C's equity, I would like to know if Warwick will look at Harbor's employees in a different light when it comes to financial approval?"
"It's not that we can't accept being criticized. If you come to Honor and become a co-founder, you may personally receive more criticism. I think the key is whether it's worth it?"
"All the honors in Warwick belong to Ren Zhengfei, but the glory belongs to us. Everyone knows that junior high school students cannot build such an advanced smartphone!"
"As for the company's share distribution, the capital invested by you and Zhou Shaoning is multiplied by two to calculate the share, but I must be a major shareholder who can control it. I have communicated with Sequoia and IDG. They may become venture capital in the A round, but in addition to being able to
I know the financial situation and cannot interfere with the company's specific operations..."
"Even if we lose money and go bankrupt, they can't interfere?"
"Uh..." Isn't this looking for trouble? Thinking that Li Yinan is not a novice, and the venture capital funds he came into contact with are very strong, but it is difficult to say that the failure of Harbor Harbor is not the responsibility of the venture capital, and he feels a little relieved.
"It's not that extreme. Jumei is one of these two venture capital companies. I originally wanted to be a clothing e-commerce company, but now I have changed it to a fashion e-commerce company. They didn't say anything. Mr. Zhou understands venture capital better."
"Venture investors are not believers, but with our qualifications, there is no shortage of venture capital. Many terms are impossible to sign. As long as we really do things, no venture capital can interfere. Otherwise, we are almost close to bankruptcy, and it doesn't matter...
" Zhou Shaoning explained
Watching Li Yinan and Zhou Shaoning discussing the details of mobile phones, Qu Li breathed a sigh of relief and finally saw hope.
After meeting Li Yinan, Qu Li and Zhou Shaoning flew to Beijin and formally established Honor Technology Company, but they had conflicts with Zhou Shaoning from the beginning.
"We are a startup company and must pay attention to cost control. Our target is small businesses in Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun, not Google, Microsoft and Baidu..."
"Even if we don't need a salary ourselves, what about recruiting excellent employees? A salary of 2 million a month for a team of 100 people is not much. If we rent in a high-end office building, at least 5 yuan per square meter per day, we need 1,000 square meters, and the monthly rent for water and electricity
The property cost exceeds 200,000? If you change it to an ordinary place, 50,000 per month is already very sufficient."
Many managers who came from large companies thought they were very frugal when they started their business, but in fact they were very unscrupulous. The so-called savings were compared to those of large companies.
"Not only that, we also need to reduce employee wages. Senior positions must accept half of the salary as general shares, so as to unify the interests of employees and the interests of the company..."
Fortunately, both of them wanted to do something. After arguing for a day, they still followed Qu Li's wishes and contacted the personnel and administrative staff introduced by Xiong Ge and Shen Nanpeng. A small team was quickly established.
Zhou Shaoning poached people from UTStarcom and Google, and Qu Li relied on the introductions of Wang Jian and Lin Bing to poach people from Microsoft Research Asia, such as Li Shipeng, who is engaged in image/video processing, compression and communications, digital TV, and multimedia.
He has profound knowledge in the field of wireless communications. There is also Qian Cheng, the design director of Motorola, who later became the CTO of Smartphone. Oh, he is still only a senior engineering manager of Motorola, but he comes from a family of ministerial officials and intellectuals.
The result was relatively smooth. Although Qu Li was unreliable, Apple's iPhone was amazing enough, and Zhou Shaoning was reliable. After several rounds of sincere visits, a complete mobile phone R&D team was finally formed.
However, the team members have to wait until after the Spring Festival. Before that, Qu Li and Zhou Shaoning cannot be idle. They have to purchase software and equipment.
Qu Li invested 30 million in Honor Company to purchase 30 million shares at a price of 1 yuan per share. Zhou Shaoning purchased 10 million shares at a price of 0.5 yuan per share. Other co-founder Chu Li Yinan was surprised, and the subscription price range was between 0.5 and 1 yuan.
, no more than 10 million shares at most and 100,000 shares at least.
Zhou Shaoning sets the subscription price, and Qu Li sets the subscription limit. For example, Li Shipeng subscribes for 5 million shares at a price of 0.5 yuan, and Qian Cheng subscribes for 1 million shares at a price of 0.7 yuan. It is really the iPhone that attracts them, not Qu Li.
Li's cheeky.
Qu Li promised these big names that his money will be used first when the company is established. If he doesn’t want to invest in the shares for any reason within half a year, he can just tell them. If you feel that you are being cheated by working in Honor, you can use the form of non-competition to raise the price that is higher than the standards of peers 2~
Compensate them 3 times for their losses.
Because things were too busy, the two of them did not meet before Chen Danlin returned to her hometown during the Spring Festival. However, the preparations for Glory were temporarily stopped during the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, only overseas suppliers were working, but the purchase of experimental equipment was not troublesome.
The phone thing.
"What, you arrived in Beijin?" Qu Li was surprised when he received Zhang Yiwen's call.
"You're not from there, so how did you get to Beijin? Didn't you miss me after not seeing me for such a long time? You came here specifically to see me this time?"
"You're overthinking it. My hometown is there, but I live in Beijin, isn't it okay..."
"Okay, why not? You don't miss me, but I miss you. I miss you very, very much." I haven't eaten meat for so many days, Qu Lihuang.
"I can tell from one look that you don't want to do anything good." Zhang Yiwen was a little embarrassed by Qu Li's fiery eyes.
Anyway, nothing happened, so Qu Li took Zhang Yiwen to live a life together and check out a room in a well-known five-star hotel.
"Let's go to where you live?"
“It’s too small, has poor sound insulation, and is inconvenient.”
"What are you thinking about? I'll just sit down and leave."
"It's okay, just sit here."
Qu Li took Zhang Yiwen to the hotel. When he found out that the price was one or two thousand a night, he was reluctant to part with it. But at this time, Zhang Yiwen was not polite at all and had no idea of saving money for him. Qu Li had to take out his credit card and HSBC
Both China Merchants Bank and China Merchants Bank arranged a large-limit credit card for him. Of course, he used HSBC at this time. The domestic salary card and credit card were in Chen Danlin’s hands. In case of an audit, haha...
After entering the room and taking a shower, with the beauty by my side, I felt that most of the fatigue from the past few days had disappeared.
"I said I was just sitting here and going home tonight."
"Oh, it's okay. Let's chat for a while. These days of asking for help make me doubt my life..." Qu Li hugged Zhang Yiwen who took off his coat.
"Who am I begging for?"
"Of course they are the technology giants from Microsoft, Google, and Motorola. Without their help, Honor Technology would not be able to succeed even if it was established..."
"Is it true that they are so difficult to hire?"
"They are quite good. It was difficult to invite them back, but they were finally invited. Some people asked for them but couldn't get them. There is really no way."
"You are so shameless, who told you not to get what you asked for?" Feeling that her chest was being attacked, Zhang Yiwen spoke sarcastically
"Warwick Li Yinan, this guy doesn't take the initiative, refuses, or makes promises..."
"Same as a scumbag..."
"..." Can everyone still chat happily? Qu Li's face drooped.
"Hahaha!" In Zhang Yiwen's silvery laughter, Qu Li couldn't help it anymore and kissed her pretty face without any flaws. When she was stunned, he quickly covered the red lips between the opening and closing of her lips.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
A lively battle finally took place!
I was depressed. I didn’t find VIP when I posted a new chapter in the morning. I found out how to post a VIP chapter again in the afternoon. I originally had a small collection, so the first order this time must have been very poor. This time I posted a new chapter and found that it was a public chapter by default. It was really frustrating!
Chapter completed!
