Chapter 871: Lei's Penguin

In the office, Lei Jun and Zhou Buqi were laughing and chatting happily.

Especially talking about the Japanese strategy.

Jinshan has done an excellent job in this area, and Zhou Buqi has asked Lei Jun for advice many times.

Before that, Lei Junduo had reservations. When he talked about this topic, he didn't seem to want to reveal the company's management experience.

The main thing is to worry.

Kingsoft is doing very well in the Japanese market, especially Kingsoft Antivirus, which ranks firmly in the top five in terms of sales this year. If Ziweixing starts its business in Japan, will it compete with Jinshan in the field of security?

However, this time, Lei Jun was quite willing to tell the whole story.

All that needs to be said has been said.

"Kingsoft's overseas strategy is to support war with war."

"Support war with war?"

Lei Jun said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want in China with tens of billions of subsidies, but you can't invest money in foreign markets like this. Make money in China, and then give the money to foreigners. What do you make the people above think? "

"Um……"

Zhou Buqi thinks so.

Lei Jun said: "Investing overseas is fine, and the country is also actively promoting it. However, there must be a limit and a distinction must be made between the primary and the secondary. It must be domestic first and foreign as supplementary. It is necessary to support the external as much as possible, and support the internal externally as much as possible. It’s not about nourishing the outside.”

"Goodbye!"

Zhou Buqi gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Ziweixing is about to start its B round of financing, mainly to raise funds from Softbank. It is reasonable to spend Japanese money to develop the Japanese market."

Lei Jun sighed, "Anyway, you have to grasp the scale well. When I wanted to develop the Japanese market in 2005, I encountered internal nationalist sentiment, and some employees wanted to resign."

Zhou Buqi was very relaxed, and said with a smile: "It's not surprising. In the early years, Jinshan used the banner of nationalism, but it went to Japan to develop, and there must be controversy. Isn't it the same for Lenovo? In the 1990s, the slogan called The jingle sounded, saying that the industry should serve the country, but after the internationalization in the past few years, the controversy has become more and more serious."

Lei Jun said helplessly: "Also, Lenovo brought up Jinshan's emotions. At that time, Lenovo invested in Jinshan and sent several executives over. With Lenovo's help, Jinshan's management is now formalized. , orderly, but the value concept also follow the Lenovo set, also play the set of national products, claiming to build a local general software kingdom.”

"How did you do it?"

"Communicate with Mr. Qiu Bo, Jinshan needs to change. To take the road of internationalization, it must weaken the color of nationalism. Even if Lenovo has changed, Jinshan must also change."

Zhou Buqi nodded and praised: "Jinshan is very successful. I heard that your Swordsman Love has millions of players in Vietnam? Your strategy is correct."

Lei Jun waved his hand lightly, "Let me tell you this, you have to pay special attention. Nationalism and international development are in a trade-off relationship. If you don't plan to go to sea, but just want to achieve the ultimate in China, the more national you are, the more national you are." If you want to take the road of internationalization, you must weaken this point. Jinshan is a small company, and it is easy to turn around when it is small. For big companies like Ziweixing and Lenovo, once they have a positioning in the early stage, it is very difficult to transform , is very controversial."

"Ok, I know."

Zhou Buqi has seen big scenes before, so he can understand this truth too well.

Enterprises with strong nationalism will inevitably be hindered in overseas expansion. For an enterprise developing internationally, the domestic nationalist sentiment must be weak.

You can not have it both ways.

Just like Huawei in the past few years, its overseas business is booming and developing very well, but this company is not well-known in China, has no democratic sentiment, and the common people have not heard much about it.

Later, overseas development was hindered, restricted everywhere, and the internationalization route could no longer be carried out. Then, it turned around and took the nationalist route, and directly became a god in the domestic market, becoming the pillar of the nation and invincible.

For a great company with great ambitions, if it has a choice, it must take the road of internationalization. It is the real glory of the nation to use foreign markets, funds, resources, technology and social relations to stimulate domestic employment and economic development.

The domestic market is not oversupply, but oversupply.

If you want to solve the contradiction between supply and demand, you must expand overseas markets. Attracting foreign capital to invest in China and promoting domestic products to be exported overseas are the most wise economic strategies since reform and opening up.

At this time, Ning Yaxian hurriedly opened the door and came in, panting and said: "Boss, there is something wrong with Friends.com, you go and have a look."

"Yeah?"

Zhou Buqi got up immediately without hesitation.

Ning Yaxian said apologetically, "Boss Lei, look at this..."

Lei Jun didn't mind at all, "It's okay, I'll just wait here."

Ning Yaxian smiled, "Okay."

Then, he arranged for Wang Yaojin to come over and chat with Mr. Lei, and accompanied Boss Zhou out of the office.

Zhou Buqi was a little anxious, and asked, "What's wrong? The traffic is too high, and the server can't withstand it? Or is there a problem with the distributed database? It can't be that Helo has too many downloads and can't bear it, right?" ?”

Ning Yaxian shook her head lightly, her expression was calm, "I'm lying to you, it's fine."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi froze and looked at her in surprise.

Ning Yaxian lowered her voice and pointed in the direction of the office, "Boss He asked me to come here. Boss Lei didn't come here this time with good intentions. I want to let you know so that you don't make mistakes."

"Damn! I knew that this kid would not come to me for no reason, and teach me the concept of international development of the company. Needless to say, he must be asking for something from me!"

After going to He Yang's office, He Yang explained the reason why Lei Jun left Jinshan from his perspective.

Well, he's very explainable.

He Yang came from Lenovo.

Back then, Jinshan was in crisis, with no money and no management, and internal chaos. Then Lenovo came to the rescue, donated money and people, and sent executives to help Jinshan sort out the management system, and He Yang was one of them.

He is very familiar with people in Jinshan.

"Qiu Bojun is a very good engineer, but he lacks the ambition of an entrepreneur and is very conservative in decision-making. Jinshan is Qiu Bojun's company, and Lei Jun is only the CEO and the second in command."

"You mean fighting for power?"

He Yangdao: "Lei Jun is very ambitious and possesses all the qualities of an excellent entrepreneur. Moreover, he has a strong desire for control. Therefore, in Jinshan, he often had disagreements with Mr. Qiu Bo. Mr. Qiu Bo thought about being quiet. It is enough to be a local software company, with an annual profit of hundreds of millions, comfortable and stable. Lei Jun has a huge entrepreneurial spirit. He has no control over Jinshan, so he can only leave.”

Zhou Buqi had a foresight and aftertaste.

In a few years, Lei Jun will return to Jinshan. At that time...he returned as the chairman of Jinshan, and recruited several executives from outside, sorted out Jinshan from top to bottom, and had absolute control. The first thing to do is to invest 1 billion US dollars in Kingsoft Cloud.

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Indeed, in the early years, the two horses combined could not compare with him. Time has passed, and the gap between him and the two horses is too big, and he will definitely feel unwilling."

He Yangdao: "In the past few years, Lei Jun has personally invested in several start-up companies, all of which are his friends."

"Ok, I know."

"There is a company called Duowan, you know that?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "YY voice."

The corner of He Yang's mouth twitched, "You may not know that after Lei Jun left Jinshan, the first thing he did was to get in touch with the founder of Duowan. He is now the chairman and CEO of Duowan."

Zhou Buqi twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's not surprising, this guy is known as an old scalper in the IT circle, and he is surprisingly hardworking. It's impossible to let him relax and not work. Eh? The headquarters of Duowan is not in Eastern Guangdong Province Well, it's in Yangcheng."

He Yang said meaningfully: "He also invested in another company whose headquarters is also in Yangcheng. Coincidentally, we also participated in the investment and took up the majority of the shares."

"UC!"

Zhou Buqi blurted out.

He Yang said in a deep voice: "Yes, UC! Just now Yu Yongfu called me. He said that Lei Jun went to Yangcheng and talked with him for several days, including the other two founders of UC."

"What does he want to do?"

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, as if realizing something.

He Yang said: "He wants to be the chairman and CEO of UC!"

"Manage two companies at the same time?"

"He is an investor with a high status in the industry. He is also a friend. Everyone respects him. His opinions... Few people can refuse. More importantly, he is well-known and has a strong relationship in the capital circle. Let him be the chairman, he can bring funds to the company. Duowan and UC are said to be two companies, but they can actually be one.”

"YY merged with UC?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, his thoughts were flying, and he immediately began to imagine the effect of the combination of UC and YY.

UC is mainly engaged in mobile phone products, including UC Mobile Browser, UC Paradise, UC Navigation, UC Jiuyou, UC Instant Messenger and so on. YY mainly focuses on voice chat on the PC side. It has developed very well in the past two years, with a rich user base and strong stickiness with online games.

"UC+YY", this is a replica of Penguin's product ecology.

He Yangdao: "These two companies are inextricably linked with Lei Jun, and they happen to be very complementary and interoperable. He wants to realize his personal 'Penguin' of Lei's through these two companies." ideal."

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized: "No wonder he told me about tens of billions of subsidies and instant messaging as soon as he came up. It turned out that he wanted to go together and challenge Penguin. It's amazing. Heroes see the same thing."

He Yangdao: "Yu Yongfu told me that Lei Jun stayed in Yangcheng for seven or eight days and kept talking about this matter. He said that as long as he gave him the position of chairman, he would promise to bring in a large sum of money. , develop greatly in the wireless field, and bring the UC business to a higher level."

"Humph."

Now Zhou Buqi understood where the conspiracy was.

He is behind Ziweixing's major shareholder, secretly doing things!

During the A round of UC, Ziweixing invested 10 million yuan, accounting for 55% of the shares, and has the absolute right to speak. However, in August this year, UC completed its B round of financing and raised 50 million yuan, diluting 20% ​​of its shares.

Ziweixing followed up with an investment of 10 million... After the financing was completed, Ziweixing's shareholding ratio became 48%.

At that time, Zhou Buqi was quite happy.

Because of UC's financing, he didn't participate in it. Lei Jun was busy throughout the whole process. He was the investor he brought in, so he was very happy.

Now we see the problem.

Ziwei Star's shareholding has become 48%!

There is still a vacancy of 52% of the shares. As long as Lei Jun gets the voting rights of the 52% of the shares, he can bypass Ziwei Star and become the helm of UC.

fine!

Hearing He Yang's tone, Yu Yongfu, the current chairman and CEO of UC, did not agree.
