Chapter 209 Fruit Shell Board of Directors
Lei Jun's arrival gave Zhou Shi more ideas, and he contacted Ma Ali and Robin Li successively, inviting them to a party in Shenzhen.
Ma Ali, who had just been listed, did not hesitate to bring Chai Congxin and Professor Zeng over, and Robin Li also went to Shenzhen with Wang Zhanshen the next day, and Zhou Shi was also discovered, which quickly caused media reports. There is no consensus about what the three of them came to Shenzhen for the purpose of the market. The most affected is still Brother Xiaoma, and the share price of Tengxun has fallen inexplicably again. Finally, it did not cross the $10 billion market capitalization mark. I felt sorry for Brother Pony for a second, and then invited Brother Pony to the party. Together with Brother Xiaoma's future second-in-command, Liu Zhiping and Lei Jun, a total of nine people also participated in this gathering.
"I'm inviting you here this time for the sake of the husk, and it has nothing to do with other things. Zhou Shi directly explained that this gathering was not aimed at Tengxun.
"I've been dreaming about smartphones for years, and this time I've finally achieved a third of them. There is still a long way to go, and I really don't have enough energy alone, so I want to ask everyone for help. ”
Although what Zhou Shi said was good, he didn't see anything substantial, and the bigwigs wouldn't be so easy to speak.
"Everyone looks at our current mobile phone like this, although there are still a lot of shortcomings, but he represents the direction of the future, I think you don't object to this, right?"
"Let's get to the point. "Maali
"The next step for Apple and Google's mobile operating systems is to open up the third-party application market, and the initial premise is that the difficulty of software development has been greatly reduced compared with Nokia's Symbian system. They have an innate advantage in terms of future popularity. If the current trend continues, Apple will occupy the high-end market, and Google Android will occupy the low-end market due to its openness. In the future, the entrance to the mobile Internet may be occupied by these two companies, and we will have to pay tolls for them. For example, in the future, games on smartphones and other value-added services that users need to pay for are likely to be divided into 37 according to Apple's current music market App Store policy. Even if we don't consider the issue of information security, we have to deal with their monopoly on mobile phone operating systems. ”
"In order to promote the mobile phone operating system, we must first have enough user scale, and with the user scale, more developers will develop various application software for this operating system. will allow more people to accept this operating system. With him, we have our own base, and we don't have to worry about being maliciously suppressed by foreign companies. For example, the current operating system will have Google software built-in and cannot be uninstalled. If they want to build in other apps, the impact on us is also huge. So I want to make my own operating system and mobile phone brand. There are still some problems with the operating system, but mobile phone brands have played the first shot of victory, and the world's major operators have nearly one million orders. I don't think I need to say more about the development potential of the husk. ”
"I've been talking for a long time, but I haven't talked about the point. "Maali
"Okay, here's the point, I want to invite the three bosses to join the board of directors of Guoke, if interested, we can talk about it, and even take a stake in Guoke, so that it will become our common industry. Zhou Shi's idea was really a whim
"This is only the first step, and the second step is that if the operating system is successfully developed, it can also be incorporated into the shell. The management model of Guoke can be independent operation, and all of us only play a supervisory role, but do not participate in the actual management. It can also be that all parties participate in the management and operation, and the positions are allocated according to equity. It is also possible to adopt the model of a rotating chairman, with a new CEO every three years or every year, and if the CEO fails, we impeach him. Zhou Shi said the last condition.
"Your ideas are always so wild. "Robin Lee
Obviously, there will be no final result from the day's gathering, and after the dinner, it is agreed that a second meeting will be held on the third day.
"Simon, if everyone really cooperates, you, Galaxy Capital's interests will obviously suffer a great loss, why bother!" Lei Jun
"I will compensate for the loss of Galaxy Capital from other aspects, but if this cooperation can really reach an agreement smoothly and succeed in the end, the strategic significance to the mainland is very huge. The role of our information security is also very important. "Zhou Shi
"But I don't see it, human nature is complicated, and it is also the nature of capital to have Long Wangshu"
"I've also thought about this, stick to the principles and bottom line, and I won't force it if it doesn't succeed in the end, at least I can be ashamed of it. Zhou Shi thought, is it really possible for mainland companies to join forces to make an operating system?
The meeting of the four domestic Internet giants plus Jinshan Lei Jun caused a big reaction, and everyone was speculating about what kind of move they would make. Journalists from all over the country rushed to find out. Feng Xing also rushed to the Shenzhen market at this time.
Soon everyone started a second meeting, and the effect was still some, Baidu, Ali's boss joined the board of directors of Guoke, Xiao Ma became the consultant of Guoke, plus Lei Jun, Zhou Shi and Feng Xing formed the board of directors of Guoke Company.
In the face of surging public opinion, everyone held a press conference to announce the information.
"Several of us are full of interest in Guoke, he is one of the few companies in the domestic high-tech industry that has a leading position in the world, he released the Guoke generation of mobile phones, the overall experience is very good, in the sincere invitation of Galaxy Capital, Time Holdings, I, Robin Li, Lei Jun, Feng Xing and Zhou Shi will jointly form the board of directors of Guoke Company, Xiao Ma Ge will become the company's special advisor, we will be committed to making Guoke a world-class high-tech enterprise. Maali took the stage.
For Zhou Shi, the husk is not important. He doesn't have such a strong sense of national mission, but he feels that he is now strong enough to do something more challenging. If it weren't for the habit of extravagant consumption and the idea of enjoying life, he wouldn't have put too much effort into these illusory ideals. The domestic high-tech industry is actually the gap between the entire domestic industrial system and foreign countries, and his ideas are very idealistic, but how can Brother Ma, as a realist, support him, Robin Li may also be because Galaxy Capital and Zhou Shi are too deeply involved in Baidu, and there is no choice. Maali may be more of an idea!
In his previous life, Zhou Shi had no bitter and bitter experience, no cynical thoughts, and no major grievances overseas, and it was already a great sacrifice for him to make such a challenge that violated the laws of the market. Leave the more difficult tasks to someone else. For such a showy thing, perhaps Ma Ali is the best candidate.
The composition of the board of directors of Guoke is already shocking, but there is something even more shocking, Lei Jun announced his resignation as CEO of Jinshan here, and at the same time took office as the chairman of Time Holdings, presiding over various affairs of Time Holdings. At this moment, Zhou Shi has completely become a supporting role, even if he is the third richest man in China!
