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

Chapter 608: Ma brags, Mo sighs
When Baidu's Robin Li had just finished his statement that "Baidu's transformation is late but it has arrived", host Liu Fangfei cleverly turned the topic to the mobile terminal field.

She first invited Apple Vice President Bruce Sewell to share his industry insights. After listening to his talk about "building user trust", she suddenly changed the subject.
".Just now, Mr. Bruce Sewell from Apple talked about the issue of trust, and here you just talked about what your company can do for consumers and what to remind consumers to avoid.

However, there are always pursuers on the company's growth path. For example, at the forum yesterday afternoon, Mr. Lei Jun from China's Xiaomi company made a bold statement.

He said that based on their current understanding of the Internet and investment, their company may become the world's number one smartphone company in 3-5 years. As Apple is currently the global industry leader, do you feel any pressure or sense of crisis? "

After the residual sound of simultaneous interpretation faded from the headphones, Bruce Sewell lazily leaned back in his chair, picked up the microphone, crossed his legs and said in a relaxed tone: "It's easy to say, it's much more difficult to do."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience were all laughing, but they did not take them seriously. Those present were all industry veterans, and they naturally understood that although Xiaomi has ranked among the top three in the world, it still has a long way to go - between it and the leading Samsung and Apple, there is a technological gap and ecological barriers. Everyone still perceives Xiaomi as an assembly plant that has not yet completed its efforts in the high-end market.

This kind of high-level conversation usually has no substantive content, but just some official and polite remarks. Everyone has dreams, so why shouldn't people be allowed to dream?

But amid the laughter in the audience, except for Lei Jun, Chen Mo and Liu Qiangdong did not laugh.

The host Liu Fangfei couldn't help laughing and wanted to hear the other party's thoughts, "Mr. Lei Jun, do you have anything to say about this?"

The camera immediately cuts to Lei Jun, who picks up the microphone and speaks in his signature Xiantao Mandarin:

"OK, we still have to have a goal, what if we achieve it?

When Xiaomi was first established four years ago, I believe no one believed that Xiaomi, which had just started making mobile phones, would become one of the top three in the world. So, what I want to say is that in this magical fertile land of China, not only giants like Bi'an were born, but also small miracles like Xiaomi were created.

After saying this, Lei Jun smiled shyly.

"Well, let me add one more sentence to what Mr. Lei said just now."

Chen Mo's sudden words caused all the cameras on the scene to turn their directions at the same time, and the flash lights instantly formed a galaxy.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, he slowly spoke:
“In fact, in the Internet industry, the most valuable thing is not the ability to ‘do’ but the courage to ‘dare to say’.”

He paused deliberately, "Thinking back to the present, when Steve Jobs said he wanted to make smartphones, Nokia's top executives deliberately agreed with Bruce's idea, thinking that it was Steve Jobs who said 'It's easy to say!'"

Chen Mo said in a few words,

First, they used their own weapons to attack their own shields, and used the example of Apple's late founder Steve Jobs to counterattack, implying that innovators are always doubted first.

It contains the rules of industrial succession from Nokia to Apple and now Xiaomi, while maintaining the elegant demeanor of an oriental entrepreneur. It does not directly attack Apple, but instead uses industry consensus to show the pattern.

The audience who can appear here are all elites in the industry, and they immediately understand the wisdom of Chen Mo's words.

The audience burst into applause.

Even the Apple vice president smiled and shrugged, nodding in approval.

Lei Jun looked at his younger brother with some admiration and gratitude as he came to his rescue. At this moment, Chen Mo was his substitute.

Chen Mo's steady, accurate and ruthless counterattack directly killed the game.

But someone disagreed with the end of the game. Old Ma glanced meaningfully at the young man next to him who always liked to attract attention, then leisurely picked up the microphone on the coffee table next to him.
“But I’m afraid that some companies talk too much, but do things recklessly and without regard for the overall situation.”

Lao Ma held the microphone, a meaningful smile on his face, as if he had everything under his control.
"Some companies are good at using marketing tactics to sell products at a very low price. Even God would have to ask for advice on this skill. However, the most powerful thing about the Internet is not just selling things cheaply. Low-end products are easy to sell, but high-end products are difficult to sell. It's like acting. It's easy to take off clothes to stand out, but it's not that easy to put them back on."

The whole audience burst into tacit laughter. Lao Ma put down the microphone, swept his eyes across the audience, and was very satisfied with the reaction on the scene. Finally, his eyes fell on Chen Mo and he revealed a reserved smile.

Chen Mo frowned slightly, but remained silent.

"The words are rough but the truth is there." The host Liu Fangfei cleverly controlled the situation, "Mr. Lei Jun, do you have anything to add?"

Lei Jun chose to ignore the provocation and instead talked about the importance of the future of smartphones to people, including smart home appliances, and also gave Xiaomi a small advertisement.

"It is very important to have a dream to change the world, because it has really changed the fate of many people, just like the Bi'an Group. The emergence of WeChat has also changed the way people communicate socially. I wonder if Mr. Chen Mo can share his vision for the future with everyone?"

Chen Mo picked up the microphone and said in a steady tone: "All products of Bi'an follow one principle: do your job and be down-to-earth. Dare to think, dare to speak, and dare to do."

After a few words, he took the initiative to turn the topic to Liu Qiangdong, "JD has many innovations in its business model, why not ask Mr. Liu to share some."

He then turned the topic to Liu Qiangdong. After all, Bi'an is not short of exposure now. Relatively speaking, JD.com needs this opportunity more. Chen Mo took advantage of this opportunity and passed the baton to Liu Qiangdong.

Liu Qiangdong understood what he meant and immediately elaborated on JD.com's differentiated strategy and future plans, taking the opportunity to show JD.com's blueprint to the global media. After Liu Qiangdong finished speaking, the host took over the conversation, "Of course, when it comes to changing the world, some people say that Taobao has redefined business in the Internet era. What do you think of this, Mr. Ma?"

Old Ma was in high spirits at the moment, and pointed to the left with his hand.
"Lei Jun envisioned the mobile phone and said that ideals must be achieved, and what if they are realized? I think this is very good.

Alibaba's responsibility is to help these people with ideals realize their dreams! "

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Liu Fangfei asked, "Will Alibaba help Xiaomi?"

"With the help of the other side, Xiaomi doesn't need our help!" Ma Yun continued,

“Today, when we are all thinking about this Xiaomi phone, that Apple phone and various equipment and facilities, in fact, sometimes people’s psychology becomes more and more uncomfortable, so what we are afraid of is that our pockets are full but our heads are empty.

While everyone is talking about hardware, Alibaba is more concerned about people's mental health and happiness, how to make people healthier and happier. "

Chen Mo next to him felt caught in an awkward situation.

On the left, Lao Ma talks about "too much money is a burden, this is health, that is happiness.";
On the right, Li Yanhong talks about "Too many opportunities is also a kind of pressure. I go to bed at 12 o'clock every night and get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. As soon as I open my eyes, there are opportunities everywhere. I am anxious every day to make choices."

Damn, he’s even more boastful than me.

Chen Mo was seen with one hand on the armrest of the sofa, half leaning on the backrest, rubbing his temple. He felt like vomiting as if he had drunk a mouthful of soy milk, but he held back and said nothing.

When the host Liu Fangfei cue Lao Ma again, the latter said, "Before answering your question, let me say one more thing. Lei Jun just said that I am very happy that 40% of Taobao's purchases on Singles' Day came from mobile shopping. In fact, I can tell you responsibly that I am not happy at all.

The reason is very simple. This is something the vice president should be happy about. What makes me happy is the more than 50 billion yuan and the trust behind hundreds of millions of transactions!

I agree with what Liu Qiangdong said just now, about logistics and operating costs, but these are things that e-commerce should consider.

But what should we do at Alibaba? What we should do is to cultivate more JD.com and help companies like JD.com make money - this is our mission!
Nothing is more important than this.”

As soon as Lao Ma said this, there was applause and laughter at the scene.

Amid the noise, Chen Mo covered his face as if he was in prison, not wanting to expose his mask of pain and despair to the media cameras.

The host Liu Fangfei raised a new question at the right time: "Mr. Ma's investment layout is dazzling. Where is the boundary of Alibaba's investment?"

Ma enjoyed the spotlight and even stood up, speaking like a preacher on stage, "There are several types of investment for a company. One is to solve yesterday's problems, and the other is to solve today and tomorrow's problems."

"We invest for the future. Suppose you have a lot of money and you can't spend it all yourself, just like Apple and Alibaba. We grow our business and get profits and money to improve and help others succeed."

He suddenly changed the subject, glanced at the young man who was covering his face, and pointed out his name, "I am not as young as Chen Mo, who thinks about private jets and luxury cars every day, nor am I like Lei Jun, who likes to engage in technology and think about mobile phones and wearable bracelets every day.

People give you money because they trust you and hope you can use the money better, rather than doing something unreasonable in the market."

Before Lao Ma finished speaking——

"Ugh"

A heavy sigh suddenly echoed clearly over the conference hall, like the breath of a giant dragon.

Everyone turned around in shock, only to see Chen Mo covering his chest with his left hand and his face with his right hand. He looked as if in pain. Only Li Yanhong noticed from between his fingers that the corners of Chen Mo's mouth were slightly curved, and his heart skipped a beat.

Fang Fei noticed something was wrong with Chen Mo and asked with concern, "Uh, is Mr. Chen Mo feeling unwell?"

I feel like dying after listening to this. Is this considered discomfort?
Chen Mo slowly raised his head, tilted his head and rubbed his temple: "I feel a little sick after listening to this. How about I say a few words?"

Lao Ma was a little surprised that the other party interrupted his "casting", but fortunately he had basically finished speaking. He was afraid that this guy would get angry and blackmail him again. This neurotic guy might really do such a shameless thing on the spot.

After all, if a lunatic can even let Ele.me eat for free, what else can't he do?
However, after Lao Ma sat down, there was a clear hint of wariness in his eyes.

Chen Mo stood up slowly. The obvious height difference between the two was like that of an adult and a child, which made some people in the audience laugh.

He brushed off the wrinkles of his clothes as if sweeping away some dust, and casually loosened his tieless collar.
Chen Mo's voice was very soft, but it had the power to silence the whole audience.
"Since Mr. Ma has just named the company and said that the company relied on its good marketing to act recklessly in the market, I won't hide it anymore. Next, I will tell you the reason why my stomach hurts."
