After years of continuous investment and acquisitions, when the time came to 2009, Lin Feng's Fengxing system had completed the original accumulation.

Whether it is business layout, management team, internal talent echelon training, peripheral star ...... affiliated companies, Fengxing Group has formed a complete business ecological closed loop, and has become an Internet giant company with social and interactive entertainment as the core.

It can be said that even if Lin Feng does not take the initiative to make a strategic layout now, the existing management team of Fengxing Group will be driven by the internal driving force to dominate the domestic Internet industry like the "BAT" in the previous life with the development of the company's various businesses.

Lin Feng only needs to give guidance in the direction at the right time.

On the contrary, although Coolwind Technology can be said to be thriving and flourishing at this time, in fact, the foundation is still relatively weak.

At the end of the day, Coolwind has been around for too short!

Moreover, the team members come from all over the world, although it can be called a luxury team in the industry, but it has not yet formed a real internal centripetal force and cohesion.

After all, people like Zhou Guangping, Yang Chao and others are all from foreign companies, and their long-term careers have caused them to get used to doing things with the mentality of professional managers, while Li Yinan is full of arrogance, except for Lin Feng, no one else looks at it.

To put it bluntly, the current Cool Wind team is united by Lin Feng's prestige.

But there is no real formation of the entrepreneurial team, the passion of sharing weal and woe, and devoting oneself to it.

This is mainly because these people are not actually involved in the start-up stage of Android and Xphone from scratch.

You must know that that stage started a few years ago and was completed by Wang Hao and Andy in the Fengxing Research Institute in Silicon Valley......

As soon as the team got started, it was almost the finished product that was taken over, and it was more about system optimization, product marketing, supply chain and production. To put it bluntly, the entrepreneurial mindset of the team is insufficient.

Lin Feng also needs to find someone who is willing to take the Cool Wind project as the most important thing in his life and do his best to be perfect!

This person should be passionate and willing to put his heart and soul into it; To have prestige and be able to subdue the existing team; To have the ability to execute, Lin Feng's strategic intent can be realized......

And if these conditions were met, Lin Feng immediately had a person in his mind - Rebus!

…………

The joking name "Rebus" is the nickname given by netizens when Lei Jun released Xiaomi in his previous life, because he imitated Jobs's iPhone press conference, and even wore the same black T-shirt and blue jeans as Jobs.

Of course, Lei Jun himself admires Jobs' perfectionism and extreme requirements for products.

But in Lin Feng's view, Lei Jun is actually a Cook (Apple CEO)-style figure.

In the previous life, after the death of Steve Jobs in 2011, Apple entered the Cook era, he may not be a genius like Jobs, but he is definitely a qualified talent.

Under Cook's leadership, in the following 6 years, Apple's stock price nearly doubled, from $53.74 to $166.34, with a market capitalization of more than $800 billion and cash reserves of more than $250 billion.

Although it has been criticized for its poor product innovation capabilities, no one has to admit that Cook's excellent supply chain management and operational execution have made Apple one of the greatest companies in the world after Steve Jobs.

And Lei Jun, in fact, is the most outstanding and operational execution - the name of "Zhongguancun Model Worker" is not called in vain!

Lei Jun became famous as a teenager and can be said to be one of the earliest batch of talented programmers and industry bigwigs in China.

In 1992, at the age of 23, Lei Jun joined Kingsoft to work. Jinshan is Lei Jun's first job and the longest job. In 1998, Lei Jun was 29 years old and served as the general manager of Jinshan Company. In 2007, Jinshan was listed, and Lei Jun was only 38 years old.

You must know that when Lei Jun was brilliant, when he was already a bigwig, Ma Yun and Ma Huateng had just started their own businesses, and they all asked Lei Jun for financing, but they were rejected by him......

Lei Jun's diligence is well-known in the circle.

During the Jinshan period, Lei Jun was a famous model worker in Zhongguancun, often at two or three o'clock in the morning, Lei Jun's driver was still waiting for him downstairs in Jinshan. In Jinshan, Lei Jun's diligence overshadowed the light of other aspects of himself. He has to do everything himself, rushing forward one battle after another, from Kingsoft Word Tyrant to antivirus software to PS.

Kingsoft began to enter online gaming in 2003 when he was beaten by Microsoft, when Lei Jun worked during the day and played games all night at night to test the quality of the products himself.

What the outside world sees is Lei Jun's unsparing efforts in marketing. Few entrepreneurs are like Lei Jun, who promotes their company's products all the time and everywhere.

In addition to marketing, Lei Jun is also fighting on the front line in R&D and production.

It's a pity that "planting grass in saline-alkali land is far worse than flying a kite on the tuyere"......

Kingsoft, the first-generation software giant, missed too many opportunities in the Internet era.

From Lei Jun taking charge of Kingsoft Shuaiyin to Jinshan's listing, the domestic Internet has changed in the past nine years, from Fengxing, Shanda, Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu ......, countless companies have developed from obscurity to giants, and Kingsoft is still struggling to seek listing on the road.

This also made Lei Jun very painful for a time.

Lei Jun lived in Jinshan for 15 years, and all "San Francisco" admitted that it was a "time of burning passion".

Under his leadership, Jinshan's ability to execute combat operations and administrative organization are very strong, and it is known as "if you succeed, you will raise a glass to celebrate, and if you lose, you will run to save each other."

However, it took 8 years for such a hardworking and united company to go public.

On October 16, 2007, when Jinshan was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Lei Jun found that the market value of the company he had invested in for 15 years was only 626.1 million Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, this figure was far less than that of Alibaba, which was listed in Hong Kong in the same year (with a market value of $1.5 billion), and Baidu, which was listed on the NASDAQ in 2005 (with a market value of $3.958 billion).

Not to mention that it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the same year, with a market value of more than $60 billion, and was hailed as "the largest IPO of an Internet company in history"!

To put it mildly, the market value of Jinshan is not even a fraction of the popularity.

Lei Jun was sad and too tired......

In December 2007, Kingsoft, which had just been listed for two months, issued a statement that Lei Jun resigned as the company's president and CEO "due to health reasons".

In the following period, Lei Jun began to pay attention to the mobile Internet after experiencing the confusion of "retired old cadres".

With the launch of the Iphone and Xphone, the mobile Internet has become a hot field in the domestic Internet industry, and countless start-ups have seen this opportunity to transform in the direction of Android system application development.

Lei Jun is worth a lot of money, and he was worth hundreds of millions of dollars when he sold Excellence.com in the early years, and he also held 14.9% of the shares after Jinshan went public.

In the year since he left Jinshan, he turned into an angel investor and invested in a large number of start-up mobile Internet companies, including Sun Taoran's Lakala, Xu Xudong's I speak, Li Xueling's Duo Game, Zou Shenglong's Xunlei, Chen Fan's Vancl Eslite and other companies.

In fact, by 2009, Lei Jun had already vaguely had the idea of making a mobile phone!

Lin Feng and Lei Jun have known each other for a long time, and in 2003, the two of them won the "Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs in Beijing" together, and both of them are members of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Youth Federation.

In the early years, Lin Feng also suggested that "Excellence Network" should be changed to C2C, but unfortunately Lei Jun did not listen, otherwise Taobao would really be mixed with the development pace of Excellence Network at that time......

Lin Feng's success in these years has touched Lei Jun a lot.

He compared the rapid development of Fengxing, and then looked at Jinshan, and began to gradually comprehend and realize the concept of the general trend and the tuyere.

Therefore, when Lin Feng began to do Coolwind Technology and launched the Xphone mobile phone, Lei Jun was extremely touched, and he began to take the Iphone and Xphone to study carefully, and observe the next layout of Fengxing and Coolwind in the direction of mobile Internet.

He found that the Android system and Xphone mobile phones are interdependent on each other, constituting the entire mobile Internet business model.

As a result, Lei Jun had an idea earlier than in his previous life: this combination of software, hardware and the Internet is the trend of future development! Smartphones are the entrance to the platform, and there are huge opportunities in them!

In Lin Feng's memory, Lei Jun should have visited Meizu mobile phones in mid-2009 and communicated with Huang Zhang before he made up his mind to start his own business and make mobile phones.

But now, because of the success of Xphone, Lei Jun should have started to move!

Instead of letting Lei Jun toss from scratch and spend 2 or 3 years to brew millet, why can't he be pulled into the cool wind?

He is the most suitable person for the ready-made CEO of Coolwind!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lei Jun's phone.

"Old Lei, are you free?"

…………

"Old Lei, I heard that you are going to make a mobile phone?" In the lobby bar of China World Hotel, Lin Feng looked at Lei Jun with a smile.

"No, who did you listen to?" Lei Jun was stunned.

He has indeed begun to think about starting his own business to make mobile phones, but this matter is too big, and he has never made a mobile phone himself, so he has been hesitating.

Even Lin Bin of Google Research Institute, who has been communicating a lot recently, one of his scheduled partners, didn't know very well that he wanted to make mobile phones, but he didn't expect to be broken by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled, didn't answer, and talked about another topic: "How is it, I recently heard that you have been investing in mobile Internet, do you have any thoughts?" ”

Although Lei Jun was a little puzzled, how could Lin Feng, a busy man, suddenly remember to ask him to have coffee and chat with him.

But this is just an opportunity, and he also hopes to get some inspiration from Lin Feng, after all, whether it is a smartphone or a mobile Internet, Lin Feng is the initiator and the pinnacle of standing on the cusp of the wave.

Perhaps communicating with Lin Feng can improve the theories and ideas in his heart.

"I think the mobile Internet is the future development trend, and I find that Fengxing Group has also begun to gradually transform to the mobile Internet?" Lei Jun said tentatively.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am very sure at this point that with the development of smart phone terminals and the popularization of mobile communication networks represented by 3G, the era of mobile Internet is coming!" ”

He didn't bother to go around in circles, and went straight to the point: "Lao Lei, I know you want to make a mobile phone, but it's not so easy to make a mobile phone, I also groped for 2 or 3 years to lay the foundation, and to tell you, now the competitive pressure is very high, once foreign giants like Apple and Samsung exert their strength, their accumulated brand advantages and industrial chain integration capabilities are very terrible, and Kufeng is now walking on thin ice!" …… I have a suggestion for you. ”

Lei Jun opened his mouth, wanting to deny it but couldn't say it, he just wanted to make a mobile phone, and when it came to his status, he didn't bother to deceive.

Although if he were to make a mobile phone, Lin Feng's cool wind would be his biggest competitor......

Shaking his head and smiling, there was no denial.

"What advice?" His mind raced, and he was curious about Lin Feng's suggestion.

Lin Feng looked at him and said with a meaningful smile: "I want to invite you to join Coolwind Technology as the company's CEO, how about it?" Would you like to work with me once? Together, we will carry forward the domestic mobile phone brand and compete with overseas giants? ”

Lei Jun was really stunned this time.

Lin Feng actually invited him to be the CEO of Cool Wind, what is the situation?

Lin Feng continued: "Now the global smartphone market is not large, the competition has just begun, Cool Wind has achieved some first-mover advantages, but after all, it is not as deep as those traditional mobile phone manufacturers, and for strategic considerations, we will make Android open source and free license, and soon traditional mobile phone manufacturers will also launch a large number of smartphones to seize the market, that is to say, our main competitors, not only Apple's Iphone, but also Samsung, Motorola, HTC, LG and other companies. ”

"If you start making mobile phones, it is a relatively long process to start from scratch, and it is difficult to open up the situation at once from all aspects of design, products, and supply chain, and the time cost is very high, and Coolwind already has a certain foundation."

"So, if you're really interested in this industry, why don't you join Cool Wind and we'll join forces!"

"I have always admired your abilities, and I believe that if you join, Cool Wind will be like a tiger with wings, and I will be more sure to win the next battle."

Lei Jun frowned and thought about it.

It was an angle he had never thought of.

He is very clear about the excellence of Xphone.

To put it mildly, he has dismantled the two mobile phones, Iphone and Xphone, I don't know how many.

As a domestic mobile phone company, Lei Jun also admires Lin Feng and the team of Cool Wind very much for being able to produce such excellent products that have won such high sales and influence around the world.

This requires not only Lin Feng's global fame, but also the real company's operational capabilities: R&D capabilities, design capabilities, supply chain management capabilities, production capabilities, channel sales capabilities, brand promotion capabilities, etc.

Lei Jun is also very envious of the Cool Wind luxury management team formed by Lin Feng.

He knows how difficult it is to attract people to join him, just Lin Bin of Google Research Institute, he has been in contact for almost half a year, and he is not sure enough to persuade Lin Bin to start a business together......

Lin Feng's next words made Lei Jun's heartbeat speed up suddenly: "Old Lei, in this way, if you are interested, I can buy the shares of Jinshan in your hands, and give you the proportion of shares of Cool Wind at the same valuation, so that you are one of the partners of the company, and we will create a new foundation together, how about it?" ”

Gold Mountain?

Lin Feng still wants Jinshan?

He looked at Lin Feng in astonishment.

Lin Feng nodded and smiled: "I know that you have a deep affection for Jinshan, or it can be like this, I use Fengxing to invest in Jinshan, and acquire a part of the shares in your hands, in this way, Fengxing and Jinshan can form a strategic cooperation, to be honest, I am very recognized by Jinshan's technology in security, the value of Jinshan is now underestimated by the market, I am willing to contribute a little." ”

"The most important thing is that I recognize your abilities and hope to cooperate with you."

"Mr. Lei, I believe that the platform of Cool Wind will definitely be able to give you the most full play stage!"

"You should have been more successful than you are now!"

"I have confidence in Coolwind, which is now valued at $40 billion, and I believe that in the future it will be a company of hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars."

……

Lei Jun was a little moved.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
