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

Chapter 282: Tear Down the East Wall and the West Wall

During the brainstorming period, Chen Mo took some time out of his busy schedule to attend a Xiaomi meeting downstairs.

If Lei Jun hadn't called him, he would have forgotten that he was still a consultant and shareholder of Xiaomi.

There's nothing he can do about it. Xiaomi was so poor last year that it didn't give him any dividends. It's normal that he doesn't remember it.

Even though Xiaomi sold tens of millions of mobile phones last year and had revenue of hundreds of billions, it basically spent its money at cost price to enter the market, and the little money it earned was just a fraction of the profit.

Lei Jun threw these small profits into the production line and new product development, and only a little was left to pay bonuses and dividends to employees.

Perhaps because he has been around him for a long time, he has become a villain because of his silence. Lei Jun has also learned to make the senior executives and shareholders suffer. This was probably similar to a science fiction movie in his previous life.

Of course, Mr. Lei still painted a big pie for these people, that is, starting from January this year, with the launch of Xiaomi X1, the company's profits will increase significantly, and dividends this year are inevitable!
Twelveth floor, Xiaomi conference room.

Chaired by Lei Jun, the theme of this meeting was Xiaomi's new year development plan, which is similar to the other side.

Now each of Xiaomi’s co-founders can stand on their own and become a key figure in the area.

Hong Feng is responsible for MIOS and Xiaomo, Huang Jiangji is responsible for Xiaomi digital products, and Liu Feng is entering the field of smart home appliances and is currently making Xiaomi smart TVs.

Li Wanqiang continued to develop e-commerce and marketing, while Zhou Guangping and Liu De worked on hardware and design respectively.

Lin Bin and Lei Jun, the former is responsible for technology and the latter is responsible for business.

As the right-hand man of Xiaomi's boss, Chen Mo sat beside him with a pen and a notebook like a reclusive elder of a sect, listening to Xiaomi executives chattering about their respective businesses over the past year, including the Xiaomi X series, Redmi H series, tablets, routers, and so on.

Although Chen Mo seemed bored, he actually encountered some business that he was concerned about and had some ideas, so he made a few notes in his notebook.

One hour later, Chen Mo wrote down some key information in his notebook.

“Traditional business is on track.

The production capacity is fully utilized, the queue is cleared, and the rest is omitted.

Surrounded by strong competitors: OnePlus, Smartisan, and Meizu have joined the online market, while China Cool Alliance is coming offline. Hmm? Smartisan?
Xiaomo is in the process of daily iteration and evolution.
Xiaomi routers are among the top three in the market and are gaining momentum.

Xiaomo smart speaker enters the research and development stage
Xiaomi Home is on the agenda, located in the basement of Wucaicheng. This is the first step for Xiaomi to move from online to offline.
Xiaomi's goal is to maintain fifth place and strive for third place! "

When everyone talked about Smartisan Technology, founded by Luo Yonghao, and Weibo's announcement of entering the mobile phone market, Huang Jiangji, Hong Feng, Li Wanqiang and others were really nervous. They all acted as if they were facing a great enemy and were very angry.

Chen Mo said faintly, "Everyone sit down. Are you sure that a talk show host who teaches English can succeed in making smartphones? Maybe the threat is not as big as Meizu."

However, seeing that these guys didn't believe him, Chen Mo shrugged and stopped talking. On the other hand, he thought that it would be good to have Lao Luo to help Xiaomi improve its strength.

Another hour passed, and at the end of the meeting, Lei Jun asked Chen Mo, "Regarding the above content, do you have any advice?"

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head. In fact, he had some ideas in his mind, but they were a bit vague and immature and needed to be refined.

After Chen Mo left first, the others felt a little strange and chatted with him for a while.

"Why has President Mo spoken less recently~"

"I guess the pressure on the other side is not small. After all, he is facing Tencent, which is not much better than our situation~"

"It means our classmate Xiao Mo has matured."

Ahem. Lei Jun coughed and interrupted their discussion. "Let me reveal something to you first. Xiaomo and I are thinking of a new business. We will update you when the time is right."

In fact, during the New Year gathering, Lei Jun and Chen Mo talked about smart home and planned to use this as a new business growth point for Xiaomi.

Xiaomi Home and Liu Feng’s smart TV are just part of the preparations made in advance.

In this way, the mobile phone and home appliances businesses will run in parallel and the two businesses will be more stable. Even if one business has problems, the other business can provide a transfusion and increase the ability to resist risks.

But neither of them had thought about the details yet, they just had a rough outline and concept.

After the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

All the employees on the other side are so full of energy and vitality that they come to work in high spirits.

People will have the so-called post-holiday syndrome after seven days of vacation a year, but for the employees on the other side, after nearly half a month of vacation, they feel that their bodies are a little rotten, especially since their parents at home show signs of disliking them, so they can't wait to get back to work.

As a result, as soon as they turned on their computers at work, they saw an email sent by the company to all employees titled "Bian'an Technology 2012 Development Outline".

Everyone knows the company's overall development direction and plan, as well as the goals of their respective departments. Everyone is ready to work hard.

The first to take action was the attack by the entire army.

Because Chen Mo received a tip-off from the public opinion, Wang Jian cried, Alibaba Cloud disbanded, and it was time to reap the harvest.

With Chen Mo's order, the whole army went out to attack. Before the New Year, Tencent, after the New Year, Ali, they changed sides and fought again. These people laughed and waved their sickles, wanting to get off to a good start! On February 2, the whole army attacked the target of Hangzhou. The whole army attacked!
A few days later, Hangzhou.

The scene that once happened in Guangyan Center was repeated.

Many guys who look like agents are like cheetahs roaming around the periphery of the Alibaba campus, waiting for an opportunity to hunt prey that meets their requirements, that is, employees with Alibaba ID cards.
"Hey, buddy, which department are you from? You work at Taobao, no problem. I'm just asking."

"Classmate, which department are you from? Alibaba Cloud, that's great. We've heard of Beyond Technology, which is even better. I wonder if you're interested in switching jobs. The salary is good. This way, please."

"Comrade~ I see from behind that you have a very fine physique and bones, and your face actually looks a bit like an alien. Hiss. Ma. Mr. Ma? Why are you here in person? It's not me~ Haha, I'm here for an interview at your company, yes, I'm applying for the HR position. Hey, Mr. Ma, goodbye~~~"

One of the young men wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He almost peed himself just now. Fortunately, he had some quick wits. Damn it, he accidentally dug up the roots while digging.
Shenzhen, Tencent headquarters.

During the Chinese New Year period, Brother Ma finally got the Guangyan Center in order.

The quality of the new version of WeChat has temporarily stabilized. He first agreed with the suggestion of the new person in charge of WeChat that it would take some time to optimize and reconstruct the foundation before starting again.

Now he has come to terms with it. It is unrealistic to kill that Chen guy with a few blows. He should first seek stability and then develop slowly.

Tencent’s current size is more than ten times that of Bi’an. As long as this gap exists, what WeChat has lost will eventually be regained.

On this day, Xiao Ma Ge received news that the other side suddenly sent many people to Hangzhou, with unknown intentions.

After hearing this, he immediately took it seriously and asked someone to investigate further and report back.

Every large enterprise has its own intelligence agency, and Pony Ma, who suffered losses years ago, asked the intelligence department to include Bi'an in the key monitoring targets.

A day later, Xiao Ma Ge got more detailed information and made some arrangements. Although he didn't know why the other side did this, as long as he could hinder the other party's plan, he didn't mind stealing the other party's love, even if he didn't need any cloud computing talents.

As long as he could disgust Chen Mo, he would spare no effort.

On February 2, the temporary base of Bi'an was located near Alibaba's headquarters in Hangzhou.

"Boss, there's another group of people nearby recently, and they're trying to snatch our talent!"

Zhang Changfa became interested when he heard it and grinned, "Oh, that's interesting. Do you still need to ask me this? Have you forgotten what your original profession was after putting on the clothes of the Other Side? Fuck him~"

"That's all you can say! Just wait and see if we don't beat the shit out of each other."

Zhang Changfa sighed and stopped the people, "Tell the people below that there is a limit to how much you can do. We are all from a technology company, and we are all in the same boat. Don't hurt them. Just scare them."

"I understand~~"

Zhang Changfa synchronized the situation with Xu Peixin.

The latter was a little worried, "Nothing will happen~"

Zhang Changfa waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xu, you are a scholar, so relax. This is just the beginning. These are veterans who have been through many battles and can run faster than rabbits."

"I'm talking about the other party."

"Don't worry, I know what to do!"

In mid-February, police officers at the police station next to Alibaba’s headquarters felt that public security in the area had dropped sharply, with fights and brawls frequently occurring.

Once they received a call from the police that two employees were fighting in the Alibaba campus. When he rushed over, he found that one of the guys was very agile and could do parkour, and he and several Alibaba security guards were unable to stop him.

In the end, they had to bring the remaining person who was beaten back to the station for interrogation. It turned out that both he and the person who ran away were not employees of Alibaba, but from other companies. It was outrageous.

This matter was brought to the attention of Lao Ma. Thinking of the strange man he had met before, Lao Ma became alert and immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

After some investigation, we found out that four out of five people in the Alibaba Cloud division had left and it was on the verge of dissolution and was almost being poached.

Before the New Year, the turnover rate at Alibaba Cloud was only 30%. After all, the internal and external pressures were too great, and coupled with the department heads being on vacation, it was understandable that employees couldn't handle it.

The increase in the turnover rate of Alibaba Cloud Division during the period after the New Year was considered by Ma to be a chain reaction caused by the New Year.

After all, when an avalanche comes, its speed will always get faster and faster.

The reconstruction of the Alibaba Cloud department is already in Ma's new plan. After all, he has always been confident about the prospects of Alibaba Cloud.

However, when he heard that Tencent and Bi'an were poaching his talents, he was a little slow to react.

Didn't Pony Ma vow that Tencent would not engage in cloud computing? How could Chen Mo be so bold? He didn't poach people from other departments, but focused on the cloud division, even though Alibaba hadn't done cloud computing. Isn't he afraid of digging up landmines?
Is Bi'an rich but has nowhere to spend it? Lao Ma chuckled, but tens of billions of dollars are invested to give you Bi'an, can you afford it?

As long as Wang Jian is still there, he has confidence.

But then Ma stopped laughing. In late February, the first thing Wang Jian did after returning was to hand in his resignation.
