Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 337 Xiaomi is established
"Are you hungry? If you're hungry, I'll get you something to eat."

Although the old lady was sleepy, she still looked at Xu Qingshan and the other three. It was still cold that day and only the house was warm. The old lady walked forward, held the hand of one of the girls and rubbed it gently.

"It's so cold, why don't you call a car to come back?"

"Grandma, don't worry. We just came back after dinner. Go and have some rest. I have to get up and do some work tomorrow morning. Xiaoxi and Xiaotong will accompany you tomorrow."

Xu Qingshan gently pulled his grandmother, telling the old lady not to waste time here.

"Why do you want to accompany me? I'm quite comfortable alone. You young people should take care of your own things. Don't waste your time with an old man like me. Why do you want to accompany me?"

The little old lady waved her hands as she walked towards her room and said with a pout.

She was so stubborn that if she didn't say the same thing twice, others would really think she didn't need anyone to accompany her.

"You two will have to work hard tomorrow."

Xu Qingshan turned off the TV and tidied up the living room while talking to Jiang Huanxi and Tong Tong.

"Don't be so pretentious, let's go clean up the room."

Jiang Huanxi rolled her eyes at Xu Qingshan and pulled Tong Tong to the room to tidy up the bed sheets and quilt covers.

That night, the whole family slept peacefully.

This newly built modern courtyard house is fully functional in all aspects and is no worse than those so-called smart luxury houses. The whole-house heating, third-generation fresh air system, and intelligent temperature and humidity system ensure the livability of the entire house.

Although the cost of water and electricity is relatively high, Xu Qingshan is very clear about it.

Whether it's yourself or others, the so-called saving of water and electricity is basically a scam.

The water and electricity you save in your lifetime are not as good as the maintenance of a golf course. They are just toys for the rich. Of course, Xu Qingshan should be considered a rich man now, but he does not have that hypocritical mentality.

"Then I'll go out first."

When Xu Qingshan got up in the morning, he washed up and didn't dress too formally. He just casually picked a white shirt and a casual suit and went out.

He drove the Maybach straight to the Yingu Building.

"Qingshan! This way!"

Before he had completely entered the area of ​​Yingu Building, Xu Qingshan saw Lei Jun and Li Wanqiang waiting for him on the roadside. Lei Jun recognized his car at a glance and waved and shouted at him.

Family members, who knows?

Such a big boss has no image or airs.

After parking the car and just as Xu Qingshan opened the door, Lei Jun and others came to meet him.

There are not many people. Today is the day when Xiaomi is officially established, and there are only about ten people. However, those who can stand here are basically the core members of Xiaomi, and they are also the elites in the domestic Internet and mobile phone fields.

But each of them was either wearing a casual suit, a plaid shirt, a striped shirt, or even sportswear and carpet T-shirts.

It’s unclear whether Lei Jun wanted to act cool or regain his youth today. Like Xu Qingshan, he wore a white striped shirt inside, but a leather jacket and long shirt outside. He wore dark straight pants with a black belt and sneakers on his feet.

"You probably haven't eaten yet this morning, right? Lao Li's dad cooked a pot of millet porridge and just sent it to the company."

Lei Jun's "standard" Mandarin made Xu Qingshan want to laugh.

"Did you really arrange millet porridge in advance?"

Xu Qingshan closed the car and walked side by side with Lei Jun and the others towards the Yingu Building.

"You changed the name of black rice to millet. Is it really because you like millet porridge recently?"

Xu Qingshan asked.

"No, I was just joking before. Actually, we didn't arrange it in advance. I don't know when Lao Li called and his father heard it. I soaked it all night last night and it was ready in the morning. He insisted that Lao Li send it to us."

Lei Jun had a big smile on his face. After all, starting a business was a happy event. Although the team was not large at that time, the ambition it carried was Lei Jun's lifelong pursuit.

He had always wanted to do something great, and now it was happening.

"I changed the name because I didn't really like the line, 'The Buddha sees one centimeter as big as Mount Sumeru, right?' Liu Qin said that the name Dami doesn't sound good and is hard to remember. And when it comes to starting a business, naming is like naming a child, avoid big names and choose small ones. So we decided on Xiaomi. And didn't you mention at the time that Xiaomi is easier to remember?"

Lei Jun said happily.

"Indeed, but when we talked on the phone before the Chinese New Year, didn't you say you were planning to set it for April 4th? Why is it moved up now?"

Xu Qingshan entered the elevator, and Li Wanqiang pressed the floor button and pressed the 8th floor.

"Originally it was planned for April 4, but your $6 million came after the Chinese New Year. I have so much money on hand, and if I don't move, I will lose money if I delay it for a month. Anyway, all the channels and routes have been arranged, and the date is not bad, so I might as well set it up today and take action early."

Everyone entered the 8th floor.

Li Wanqiang was short and had short legs, but he walked very fast. He brought people to the door of Room 807 in one go.

Opposite the gate, the Xiaomi logo is printed on the wall.

Xu Qingshan looked at the orange background and the "Xiaomi" logo made up of long and short squares and curled his lips. He had to admit that this logo was really ugly at the beginning!

"This way."

Lei Jun led Xu Qingshan into the company. When the other people who were still busy in the company saw Lei Jun leading people in, they knew that it was Xu Qingshan, one of the major shareholders of their company, the head of the strategy department, the magical young scientist.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"I finally met Boss Xu in person. You must take a photo with me later, alone, alone!"

"Well, that's enough. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet each other in the future."

Lei Jun waved his hand and asked everyone to gather together.

Although Xu Qingshan has a high reputation in China, in Xiaomi, the most charismatic boss is still Lei Jun.

He waved his hand, and everyone quieted down and came closer.

Lei Jun clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Originally, Xiaomi planned to raise 1000 million US dollars in the initial round of financing. The original agreement was that Morningside Capital would contribute 500 million, I would contribute 400 million, Mr. Lin would contribute 75, and KK and Lao Li would contribute the remaining 25."

"It seems like we are quite stingy, but before the Chinese New Year, I got 500 million from Mr. Cai, and Mr. Cai introduced me to your CEO Xu. You should all know about the dinner, right? Many of you were there at the time."

As Lei Jun spoke, Lin Bin, Li Wanqiang, Huang Jiangji and others nodded.

"Just after the New Year, Mr. Xu transferred the money to me."

Lei Jun grinned.

"We originally planned to raise 1000 million and start slowly. Now Mr. Xu has given us 1000 million first, and there will be another 1000 million after a while. After thinking about it, we each added a little more. Mr. Xu has so much confidence in us, we founders can't lose confidence, right?"

"So now, even though Xiaomi has just been established and hasn't done anything yet, we already have 4000 million US dollars, or 2.7 million RMB! We can go all out and do our best!"

As Lei Jun spoke, he raised his hands in front of his chest and waved them up and down.

Xu Qingshan just thought that his action looked a bit like a child, and couldn't help laughing. Then he saw Li Wanqiang, Lin Bin and others surrounding Lei Jun. These big guys and elites, young and old, also waved their arms excitedly and enthusiastically along with Lei Jun.

It looks like a group of kids doing exercises in kindergarten.

Happy.

Money is a person's courage.

Although it is not a big deal for the mobile phone industry to have an investment of 3 million yuan at the beginning, the success rate of such a game is half as high as that of a domestic company. "Come on, Lao Li, go get the millet porridge your father cooked."

Lei Jun called on everyone to work diligently and move a small round table to the middle of the office. Li Wanqiang carried a large round rice cooker to the middle of the round table, while Lin Bin and the others were distributing disposable bowls.

Lei Jun personally took the spoon and served porridge to everyone.

There were about ten people, each with a bowl of thick millet porridge. Xu Qingshan stood next to Lei Jun and found it quite amazing.

This seems to have been considered as participating in the historical process of a giant company that can influence the whole country and even the world, and becoming a crucial link.

This feeling is really too wonderful.

Although he has gained a high reputation in China and has appeared on the news broadcast several times, Xu Qingshan has never felt that what he does is ultimately a kind of high-brow scientific research that is not widely understood and has not actually been implemented to improve people's livelihood.

If there was a similar situation, it might be when the Ludao Municipal Government and Liu Cigui were discussing the future development direction of Ludao and the establishment of New Ludao Investment.

But these things have never happened in history, and Xu Qingshan cannot fully foresee the future.

He needed to wait until he saw with his own eyes the changes in Ludao and the leap forward in southern Fujian before he could have that clear feeling.

But Xiaomi is different.

Xu Qingshan felt that he had somewhat overdrawn his sense of pleasure.

I hope Xiaomi doesn't make things worse because of my involvement, because that would be embarrassing for me.

Even if others don't know, you will feel depressed for the rest of your life.

What is more embarrassing than “winning the team is not scary, but it will be embarrassing if someone is missing” is “the team could have won, but lost because of you”.

"Lao Li, uncle cooked a lot. We can drink at least three or four bowls each. Put the bowl aside after you finish this one. Let's take a group photo to record it. Those who haven't had breakfast can continue eating later. I'll go buy you some buns, fried dough sticks, etc."

Lei Jun glanced at the pot and greeted again.

Having worked as the CEO of Kingsoft for a long time with a 16-hour workday, Lei Jun now feels that the youthful energy in his body has been awakened and he is full of energy as he starts his own business again.

"Photo! Photo! No need to buy anything, I'll buy it later."

Li Wanqiang pulled one to the left and one to the right.

But for a moment I didn't know who to ask to take the photo.

"You guys are so real. I'll ask the girl next door to come over and take pictures for us."

Xu Qingshan said with a smile, and without waiting for this group of science and engineering men to discuss, he went out and asked the receptionist from the human resources company next door to come over and help take pictures.

"Three, two, one eggplant, done."

"Beautiful lady, please take a few more pictures."

"I took a few more photos. Uncle over there, please stop touching your nose and close your eyes."

With the presence of beautiful women, the science and engineering men are of all kinds, some are shy and pretend to be cool, while others are smiling.

"Okay handsome, remember to pass on my friend later."

The beautiful receptionist handed the phone back to Xu Qingshan, threw him a wink and went back to her company.

Xu Qingshan put his cell phone in his pocket.

"Boss Xu, you'd better not come to the company too often if you have nothing to do in the future, otherwise our brothers will be kicked into the ditch by you."

"That's right, that beautiful lady didn't even want to look at me for a few more times, it's sad."

The atmosphere was good, with constant laughter.

After the commotion, it’s time to wrap up and get moving.

When they arrived at Lei Jun's office, Xu Qingshan took the cup of water handed to him by Lei Jun. The two big bosses didn't even make a cup of tea or coffee, just plain boiled water.

"How's it going, are you feeling okay?"

Lei Jun took a sip of water, stood by the window, and asked Xu Qingshan.

"not bad."

Xu Qingshan picked up several mobile phones that Lei Jun had placed on the table and flipped through them. These phones were Apple's iPhone 3 and 3G, as well as Meizu and HTC smartphone models.

"Are you planning to study these in the early stages?"

Xu Qingshan raised the iPhone in his hand and took out his Meizu M8 from his pocket.

"I do prefer this form of appearance, but we still have to try to make it a little bit unique. Otherwise, we will just follow the old path of Huang and his team and be scolded and sued."

Lei Jun took the Meizu M8, held it up in the air, looked at the middle frame, and said.

"Still calling you Lao Huang? I heard you guys had some unpleasant arguments a while ago?"

Xu Qingshan is not shy about anything and will just say it directly if he is curious about something.

Lei Jun smiled and shook his head.

"There was no quarrel. It was just that Lao Huang was not satisfied with the cooperation with me. The two sides had quite big disagreements. The cooperation was not successful, so it was not a quarrel."

"Meizu is good at making products, but they lack marketing and have big internal problems. Even if Huang has no problem with me, I won't stay there for long."

The smile disappeared from Lei Jun's face, and what remained was seriousness and earnestness.

"What I have seen and learned, I will try my best to prevent it from happening in Xiaomi. Although I know that many problems are inevitable if a company wants to do it, isn't this the meaning of us being here?"

Lei Jun turned around and looked at Xu Qingshan.

"Qingshan, do you have any practical suggestions about our industrial sector and production line plans? I would also like to hear your opinions on market positioning and market strategy. Let's not talk about investment. You are also very important to me and Xiaomi."

Lei Jun was very frank. Xu Qingshan smiled and took out a document from his bag.

"These are some ideas I have sorted out recently. I'm just throwing out some ideas. The specific production part should be left to professionals. I won't show you these things. Even today, these talented people will be able to figure them out sooner or later. Mr. Lei, don't be so confident in front of others and cry behind their backs. I have always trusted you."

Xu Qingshan raised an eyebrow at Lei Jun and teased him.

"You boy!"

Lei Jun put down his phone, raised his hand and hit Xu Qingshan on the shoulder.

"It will work."

Lei Jun said, his voice was not loud, but clear enough.

"We can't just let international manufacturers set whatever prices they want in our country, can we? They sell those machines for thousands of yuan, and they don't even provide Chinese adaptation and domestic ecosystem for us when making an iPhone, and they castrate functions. Why should we let them do this? Can't we do it ourselves?"

Lei Jun’s thinking is very direct, at least for now.

There is some personal opinion involved, and there is also some dissatisfaction from the perspective of entrepreneurs and consumers.

Xu Qingshan patted Lei Jun on the shoulder and repeated.

"I will do it."
