Chapter 478 Undercurrent (Second update)
Los Angeles, USA.
Li Zetian came to Google. After all, the iOS mobile system can only be used on iPhones, not other mobile phones, so there must be another mobile operating system, that is - Android system!
Now that the Saipan Alliance has been formed, Li Zetian is actually a little worried.
Just as they thought, if Li Zetian does not let his Internet company develop software for the Symbian system, then other software vendors will naturally develop software for it. Isn't this giving up the market in vain? However, if Li Zetian agrees that his Internet company develops software for the Symbian system, then the sales of Symbian mobile phones will definitely increase significantly.
This makes Li Zetian very conflicted. Unless the Android system rises, in this case, he can abandon the Symbian system.
Symbian is still a very good mobile operating system, but it is too difficult to develop and has not established a good ecological environment. The code is bloated and difficult to modify. Moreover, the Saipan Alliance has just been established, and it will take a long time to develop a multi-touch screen mobile phone system, and it will not be launched until next year at the earliest.
On the other hand, the Android system is almost complete now and will be officially released in October this year.
Li Zetian learned about the Android system at Google and then left. After thinking about it, he felt that he should support or establish several more Android mobile phone companies to comprehensively and thoroughly suppress the Symbian Alliance headed by Nokia!
"Samsung has been acquired by me. It has its own mobile phone business, and it is doing very well!"
“Google owns the Android system, so there’s nothing wrong with developing mobile phones!”
"Lei Jun is still at Jinshan, recruit him to take charge of Xiaomi!!"
"Forget it about Huawei. Chinese network equipment developers are in deep water when it comes to national information security. China will not agree to allow Huawei to be acquired by foreign capital..."
“If you do the math, Apple + Samsung + Google + Xiaomi are enough to sweep the world!!!”
Immediately, Li Zetian became busy and arranged work. Because time was tight, he did many things by himself.
It was easy for Samsung. After Li Zetian gave the order, Samsung Electronics immediately expressed its support for the Android system.
Google is also building a mobile phone development team as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Li Zetian's people registered Xiaomi Company in China. While recruiting talents, they asked a headhunting company to contact Lei Jun and recruit him to Xiaomi Company as CEO.
Everything was going on smoothly.
…
Kingsoft Corporation.
Lei Jun has been in a daze for the past few days. A headhunting company contacted him and asked him to be the CEO of Xiaomi. Not to mention the high salary, he was also allowed to buy shares. If someone else hired him, he wouldn't be so distressed and would definitely refuse. I am doing a good job as the CEO of Kingsoft Company, so why would I want to change jobs?
However, this time it was Li Zetian who contacted him, and the product developed by Xiaomi was actually a mobile phone, which was what Lei Jun was very interested in!
Lei Jun has been at Jinshan Company for more than ten years, and both husband and wife have a seven-year itch, not to mention people and the company?
Lei Jun is actually a little tired and wants to do something passionate and challenging, and Xiaomi has given him a brand new platform.
"Mr. Lei, Mr. Lei, there is a document here for you to sign!" A female secretary came over and shouted twice, and Lei Jun finally reacted.
"Oh, I understand." Lei Jun glanced at the contents of the document, then took out a pen and signed his name.
"Mr. Lei, are you worried about anything recently?" the female secretary asked with concern.
Lei Jun shook his head: "It's nothing. Thank you for your concern. You can go about your business."
"Okay, Mr. Lei." The female secretary turned and left holding the document.
After getting off work in the evening, Lei Jun just walked out of the company door when he suddenly saw a black Mercedes-Benz parked not far away. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie next to the Mercedes-Benz smiled at him. Lei Jun's face changed slightly, and he obviously knew this person - Zheng Qiu, a senior headhunting consultant at Korn Ferry International, one of the top five headhunting companies in the world.
Lei Jun hesitated for a moment, then walked over and frowned: "Why are you here?"
Zheng Qiu smiled slightly: "Mr. Lei, what are you thinking about? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope you will seize it! You see, how popular the iPhone smartphone is, you can predict the future of Xiaomi. What heights have been reached!!!”
In fact, Lei Jun was already moved and said, "I'll think about it again."
"Okay!" Zheng Qiu watched Lei Jun leave with a smile on his face...
Three days later, Lei Jun finally couldn't resist the temptation, submitted his resignation to Kingsoft's board of directors, and resigned as Kingsoft CEO.
As soon as the news spread in Jinshan Company, it immediately caused a huge sensation.
"Why did Mr. Lei resign?"
Some relatives and friends heard the news and called him to inquire about the situation.
The next day, Lei Jun updated the news on Weibo and Facebook, writing: "Thank you to friends, colleagues and relatives for your concern. I have been with Kingsoft for more than ten years and have a deep affection for Kingsoft. Now I want to try to do Something new. Currently, I am invited by Chronos Li to take up the post of CEO of Xiaomi. Thank you again for your concern!"
Underneath the text was a photo of him and the Xiaomi team. And this team is not simple at all. It includes Lin Bin, the former vice president of Google China Engineering Research Institute, Zhou Guangping, the former senior director of Motorola BJ R\u0026D Center, Liu De, the former director of the Industrial Design Department of BJ University of Science and Technology, and the former Kingsoft PowerWord. General Manager Li Wanqiang, as well as former Microsoft China Academy of Engineering Development Director Huang Jiangji and former Google China Senior Product Manager Hong Feng.
The news immediately spread on the Chinese Internet, causing heated discussions among people. They all lamented that the Xiaomi team is so awesome, but at the same time they were also very curious about why Lei Jun gave up the well-paid Kingsoft CEO and instead jumped to a newly founded company. company? What does this company do?
But soon, the media discovered that Xiaomi actually develops mobile phones.
Well, this is very thought-provoking...
Since Xiaomi is Chronos·Li’s company, why does it develop mobile phones?
There was another wave of discussion online.
But Lei Jun and the entire Xiaomi team don't care what happens outside. All their energy is now focused on the development of Xiaomi mobile phones. On Lei Jun's first day in office, Li Zetian made a remote video call with him, introduced the current situation to Lei Jun in detail, and asked him to speed up the development of Xiaomi mobile phones!
Of course, Xiaomi mobile phones still adhere to the design concept of "born for fever" in previous Xiaomi mobile phones and develop low-end and mid-range mobile phones with high quality and low price. This will not change.
Apple focuses on the high-end market, while Samsung, Google, and Xiaomi all focus on the mid- to low-end market. The arrangement is very reasonable.
In September, another batch of iPhones were produced, and they were as popular as before. But at this moment, the entire mobile phone market was already undercurrent...
