I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 213 A strategic cooperation method that defies the heavens!
“It’s Xiaomi’s ecosystem?”

When Lei Bush heard this, he was also stunned.

He thought of the information he knew about the Magic Cube Group and knew that it was a local unicorn that had suddenly risen to prominence.

Not only are the operations extremely large-scale, but the businesses they cover are also mostly industrial in the fields of construction and machinery.

But no one expected that what Chen Jue wanted was Xiaomi's ecosystem.

However, when he thought of the rise of the Magic Cube Group, Lei Jun immediately understood Chen Jue's needs.

After all, no matter how rich a company is, there will always be areas that it cannot reach.

For example, those wealthy countries in the Middle East, where oil is cheaper than fresh water, have only a piece of cloth on their heads. In terms of wealth and luxury, no one can compete with them.

But technology-based companies like Apple, Google, and Huawei will never be born in that desert land.

It's not just an environmental issue, but also about one's own positioning and foundation.

Take Chen Jue himself for example, he rose rapidly with the help of MC plug-ins, but his involvement in the Internet smart ecosystem is as thin as a blank sheet of paper.

If you want to get involved in the field of new energy vehicles, in addition to batteries and electric motors, the car system is always a hurdle that you cannot avoid.

In addition, a good ecosystem will also be of great help to the internal operational efficiency of an enterprise.

DingTalk APP launched by Alibaba is not just for providing online classes for students. Its original intention in designing it is to simplify the internal processes of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises.

There is also Oracle, which is not well-known in China but is very famous abroad. It ranks 500th in the Fortune 80. It also relies on its business as a database software supplier for enterprise services to create an annual revenue of more than 500 billion US dollars.

Why don't the big companies that buy Oracle services develop their own ecosystems?
It’s true that every profession has its specialties!

If you want to build your own independent ecosystem, you will need not only a large number of professional engineers, but also a lot of money and time.

Chen Jue is not short of money now, but what he lacks is time for development.

"Why didn't Mr. Jue look for the Hongmeng ecosystem of Xiaomi, but instead chose our Xiaomi's Surge OS?" Lei Jun asked curiously.

After all, Xiaomi's MIUI system was built on Google Android's open source code in the early days, and is a deeply optimized and reskinned operating system for Android.

In terms of fame, Xiaomi's MIUI system is far inferior to Hongmeng of the Huawei device.

In other words, it was in recent years that a group of domestic smart hardware manufacturers gritted their teeth and worked hard to develop their own system architecture to break free from the constraints of Android.

Lei Jun also transformed Xiaomi from a simple mobile phone manufacturer to step into the Internet of Things ecosystem business of "people, cars and homes", and let his team develop the current independently structured Pengpai OS based on the Linux kernel, Vela system and the real-time embedded NuttX real-time operating system.

From then on, Xiaomi truly broke free from the stranglehold of Google Android and developed its own independent way of survival.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue wanted to join Xiaomi's Surge OS ecosystem.

In addition to the most important point that we cannot do it ourselves, there is another purpose, which is to use Xiaomi's mature marketing system to help the Magic Cube Group.

After all, when it comes to marketing capabilities, there are many domestic figures, such as Yu Dazui and Boss Jia, who are not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of Lei Jun.

So after chatting for a while, Chen Jue explained with a strange look on his face: "The Chrysanthemum Factory is too strong, too dominant in some aspects, and is not very suitable for our Magic Cube Group. I don't want Magic Cube Automobile to follow the path of Ceres in the future."

After these words were spoken, the two honest boys with different thoughts smiled at each other.

……

Chen Jue and Lei Jun spent a full three hours on this meal. In addition to discussing the cooperation model between Mofang Group and Xiaomi Group, Chen Jue also introduced several of his current products that require operating systems.

In addition to the various models that Rubik's Cube Automobile will soon launch, the Rubik's Cube robotic arm, the Rubik's Cube yacht, and the Rubik's Cube Starlink that may be involved in the future.

Chen Juedu plans to embed it into Xiaomi's Surge OS for targeted development.

When Lei Jun learned that Chen Jue planned to invest in Starlink satellites similar to SpaceX, he was also surprised!
As a senior imitator of Steve Jobs, Lei Jun initially aimed to benchmark against Apple in Xiaomi's product positioning, and naturally he was very interested in high-tech technologies from the United States.

For something like Starlink, the only person in China who has the qualifications, technology and ability to play with it, apart from Huawei, is Lei Jun.

He has 1500 billion in cash and a team of more than 3 experienced software and hardware technical engineers to support him. In terms of innate conditions, he is more suitable for developing Starlink satellites than Chen Jue.

However, Starlink is very expensive, and domestic private rocket technology is not mature. Once you bet on it, it is easy to lose all your money, so this idea has always been buried in Lei Jun's mind.

Now that Chen Jue brought it up again, Lei Jun naturally became quite interested.

As for how the two large groups should cooperate, Chen Jue also gave Lei Jun a very perfect plan.

At first, Lei Jun proposed a "cross-stock swap", in which Magic Cube Group and Xiaomi held each other's shares and announced a strategic cooperation.

This way it would be easier for him to go back and convince the board of directors to incorporate Magic Cube Group's product line into the Pengpai OS ecosystem.

Xiaomi is a listed company after all, and there are many factions within it. Lei Jun is not the only one who has the final say on many things, and it takes time to convince the team.

Therefore, after hearing this plan, Chen Jue pondered for a moment.

He has always been vigorous and resolute in his work and doesn't like this kind of procrastination.

So in front of Lei Jun, Chen Jue made an international call: "Mr. Shang, do we still have 250 billion left in our fund account? Go to Hong Kong to buy 10 billion shares of Xiaomi stock, and act quickly! I will be of use right now!"

Xiaomi Group HK01810 has been listed on the Hong Kong stock market for many years, with a total circulating share capital of 249.63 billion shares. The daily trading volume is maintained at around 50 billion, and the stock price has been stable at around 22 yuan recently.

As a result of Chen Jue's cost-effective operation, Xiaomi's stock price was raised to 28 yuan that day.

The stock price soared 30% during the day, and the market value of Xiaomi as a whole expanded from more than 5000 billion to more than 7000 billion.

It even pushed up Lei Jun’s net worth by 30%.

Such a sincere operation made Lei Jun, who was used to seeing big storms, twitch his eyelids. He said in his heart: "Fuck! He is pretending! One billion shares? Buy it just like that?"

Everyone in the domestic capital world knows that an investment eccentric emerged in Vancouver and acquired stakes in two A-share listed companies in one go.

No one would have thought that this "weirdo" would apply this same operation to a major Hong Kong stock company like Xiaomi Group.

Of course, after taking over the 10 billion circulating shares, Chen Jue became a major individual shareholder of Xiaomi Group with a 3.3% stake, second only to the two Xiaomi founders, Lei Jun and Lin Bin.

With this kind of relationship in place, it was natural that Lei Jun would not face much resistance when he went back to persuade the board of directors.

"Mr. Lei, I'm using this 3.3% share of Xiaomi Group's stock as a stepping stone, hoping to establish a third-party joint venture company with Xiaomi. The right to use Surge OS will then be handed over to this company for authorized management. How about you and I each hold 50% of the personnel arrangements?" Chen Jue showed off the screenshot of the stock account sent by Lao Shang.

After seeing the sky-high stock account numbers all over the screen, Lei Jun was also full of emotion.

If Chen Jue had not directly informed the other party of the purpose of buying up stocks in person, Lei Jun would have thought that someone was trying to attack his own Xiaomi in the stock market after seeing such an astonishing buying trend.

Thinking about the capital strength shown by Chen Jue and the mechanical quality of the Zotye ZT700, after pondering for a moment, Lei Jun simply shook hands with Chen Jue solemnly and said: "Thank you for your trust and support, Mr. Jue! From now on, we will be brothers in the same trench!"
