Chapter 133 Interview with Lei Jun
The computer operating system, which is a more complex program than the smartphone operating system, Qiu Liguo does not doubt that Tianxin Technology has such technical strength. However, it's not just about technology.
When it comes to technology, there are many computer operating systems that can be used, including Huaxia, there are actually many Linux-based operating systems, but these operating systems are only used on a small scale, and there are almost no commercial promotions. According to a survey report, Linux accounts for less than 1% of the market share of computer operating systems.
It's not that the Linux system is bad, it's not because its technology isn't advanced enough, it's because there is an absolute hegemon in this field, that is, Microsoft in the United States. Under Microsoft's oppression, even Apple's Macintosh only has a market share of about 5%.
Microsoft, the absolute hegemon that has dominated the field of computer operations for nearly three decades.
"It's not surprising, you also know how good the smart operating system is. As long as it expands on the existing basis, it can become a full-fledged computer operating system. Lu Yang said confidently.
"Mr. Lu, I believe that the gap between you and Microsoft may be limited in technology, but if you want to enter this field, technology is still secondary, and the market resistance you face is the biggest problem. Microsoft has been working hard for 30 years, and it has long been ingrained. At least in the short term, no company can challenge Microsoft. Qiu Liguo said, he felt that the ambition of the young man in front of him was too great, and he didn't want to see Tianxin Technology ruined because of his decision.
Lu Yang said: "Just because users are used to Windows doesn't mean they don't accept other operating systems. I have always believed that as long as there are good products, there is definitely a good market. Microsoft hasn't been defeated before, and that's because they haven't met a real opponent. Mr. Qiu, look at it, when our products are launched, Microsoft's decline will begin! ”
Qiu Liguo didn't know why Lu Yang had such confidence, in his impression, Lu Yang was not a person who liked to talk big. He is also from a technical background, and he admires the technical genius Lu Yang very much, but admiration is admiration, and he still doesn't believe that Lu Yang has the power to challenge Microsoft.
"Maybe he's sure?" Looking at Lu Yang's confident appearance, Qiu Liguo thought to himself, and then he shook his head slightly to dispel this idea.
The first focus of the restructuring of Tianxin Technology is Tianxin mobile phones. Considering that the company name set by Lu Yang was not suitable, after everyone's discussion, it was changed to Tianxin Intelligent Electronics Company. The company, which inherited Tensense's core business, smartphones and tablets, has become the top priority of this reorganization.
After a month of hard work by Frederick's team, the context of Tianxin Intelligent Electronics Company has basically been sorted out, and the company's system has been gradually improved. In comparison, the previous Tianxin Technology is undoubtedly much simpler. However, the position of general manager of the company still gave Lu Yang a headache. So far, Lu Yang has still not found a general manager he can trust.
After interviewing a few people, Lu Yang was very disappointed. The headhunter recommended another talent to him, named Lei Jun. After reading Lei Jun's resume, this person attracted Lu Yang's attention.
"The original CEO of Jinshan, now an angel investor, understands technology and has done management ......" is Lu Yang's first impression of Lei Jun.
Lu Yang immediately sent an invitation to the other party, made an appointment with the other party, and the two met in a teahouse in Fuhai City.
Lei Jun is in his forties, but he looks energetic and not inferior to young people. Before meeting, Lei Jun also had a full understanding of Lu Yang, and knew the deeds of this young man known as Huaxia Jobs, who started from the planting industry and founded Tianxin Technology from scratch in three years. Just a few days ago, the official website of Tianxin Technology announced that "Star 1" has been on the market for 8 months, and global sales have reached 15 million units.
For a mobile phone with a price of about 6000, the sales of "Starry Sky 1" completely subverted the outside world's perception of the Chinese market. Prior to this, many people thought that the Huaxia market was accustomed to cheap low-end products, and Tianxin Technology gave these people a resounding slap in the face.
While shocked by Tianxin Technology, people are also surprised by the potential of the smartphone market in China, a wave of smartphone development is coming, and in Huaxia, the capital invested in smartphone research and development has increased rapidly.
In fact, Lei Jun was a little hesitant to meet Lu Yang. Several years of experience as an angel investor has given him a deep understanding of the Chinese Internet market, as early as when Apple released the iPhone, Lei Jun realized the strong potential of the combination of mobile smart terminals and the Internet. Since then, Lei Jun has been focusing on smartphones.
Later, with the rise of Tianxin Technology and rave reviews for "Starry Sky 1", Lei Jun began to consider whether he could also make smart phones. He quickly assembled a team, including some of his friends and technical experts, and decided to start his own business. However, this news has not yet been announced.
Lu Yang didn't know this, if he knew that the other party had the intention to start his own business, I'm afraid he wouldn't come.
"Hello, Mr. Lei." The two shook hands, and Lu Yang greeted first, "Thank you very much for coming to Fuhai." ”
Lu Yang's attitude made Lei Jun feel good, he thought that Lu Yang must be very proud of such an achievement at a young age, but he didn't expect the other party's posture to be so low.
"Mr. Lu, hello." Lei Jun said.
The two ordered a cup of tea and sat by the window. The environment of this teahouse is quiet, antique and very meaningful.
"Mr. Lu's choice of place is really good." Lei Jun then smiled, "I didn't expect you to choose a teahouse, originally I thought it was a café." ”
"I don't like coffee." Lu Yang said bluntly, "In contrast, I prefer tea, especially tea culture, which is the spiritual wealth left by our Chinese ancestors." ”
Lei Jun said with a smile: "There are not many young people who like tea now, and even fewer know about tea culture." ”
Lu Yang said: "Yes, in fact, the first time I came into contact with tea culture was in Japan. It's ironic enough to say. After returning to China, I specifically learned about the development of domestic tea culture, and I was a little disappointed that now more and more traditional culture has been washed away by the tide of the times, and I don't know if it will be passed on in the future. ”
Lu Yang's words made Lei Jun feel twilight, not at all like what a young man said, but like it came from the mouth of an old pedant.
"Drinking tea gives peace to people." Lu Yang took a sip of tea, "The big red robe in this teahouse is very authentic, I have been here a few times before. ”
The two chatted a few words, and the topic returned to the purpose of the meeting.
"Mr. Lei, you must have heard something about what happened to Tianxin Technology." Lu Yang asked bluntly.
Lei Jun nodded: "I've read the report." He quietly waited for Lu Yang to speak.
Lu Yang said: "After these things, I decided to reorganize Tianxin Technology and cut through the mess quickly. The first target of this reorganization is Tianxin Intelligent Electronics Company. The company will inherit Tensense's smartphones and next tablet projects. ”
What Lu Yang said is not a secret, it has already been reported by the outside world, and Lei Jun naturally knows it.
"At present, Tianxin Intelligent Electronics Company still lacks a helmsman, which is also the purpose of my invitation to Mr. Lei here." Lu Yang said it very directly.
Lei Jun said: "Such a company, I'm afraid not everyone can do it." ”
Lu Yang said with a smile: "This is true, although after the reorganization, some businesses will be spun off from Tianxin Intelligent Electronics Company, but I can also say without modesty that Tianxin Intelligent Electronics will be the best intelligent electronics company in the world, and it is not easy to choose a head for it." Before Mr. Lei, I had met seven outstanding management talents, including three Fortune 500 vice presidents. None of them satisfied me, though. ”
