Chapter 134 Solicitation
With a smile in his eyes, Lu Yang looked at Lei Jun, and the meaning of his consideration was self-evident.
Lei Jun didn't react at all: "I don't know what kind of talent Mr. Lu wants?" ”
"Actually, what I need is a collaborator, a collaborator with whom I can open the era of intelligence." Lu Yang said seriously.
Lei Jun stared at him, thinking he was joking.
"Mr. Lu, if you are talking about smartphones, I think your goal has been achieved. In my opinion, your Tianxin Technology is better than Apple in smart phones, as long as you don't make fatal mistakes in the future, Tianxin Technology will definitely become a world-renowned smartphone company in the future. ”
Lu Yang shook his head and said: "Whether it is 'Starry Sky 1' or iPhone, although it is called a smartphone, it is actually just a step forward in the feature phone. By intelligence, I'm a research project that is being carried out in countries around the world, artificial intelligence. ”
"Artificial intelligence?" Lei Jun was taken aback, "Mr. Lu is really ambitious. He said with admiration or sarcasm.
"Of course, you have to be ambitious." Lu Yang said calmly, "Mr. Lei is also from a technical background, and he must also have an understanding of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has been one of the world's top three technologies since the 70s of the last century, and governments and organizations have invested a lot of money in research, and there has still been no substantial breakthrough for decades. ”
Lei Jun said: "Yes, even the most advanced intelligent machine in the United States, it is far from reaching the level of artificial intelligence. Compared with foreign countries, China's artificial intelligence research started late and lagged behind. I think that in the short term, it is not realistic to develop artificial intelligence under domestic conditions. ”
"Perhaps, but who can guarantee such a thing?" Lu Yang said, "No matter what, you will only know if you do it." I'm not afraid that Mr. Lei thinks I'm talking big, the purpose of Tianxin Technology is to realize artificial intelligence, and so far, we have laid a good foundation, both in hardware and software. ”
Lei Jun obviously didn't believe these words, and Lu Yang didn't care either.
"Well, let's talk about something practical. Tianxin Technology is developing too fast, and I am not good at management myself, so I need to find a suitable partner, which is why I am here today. ”
Lei Jun said: "I don't know what Mr. Lu is talking about, what does this mean?" ”
Lu Yang said seriously: "Equity incentives. ”
"Equity?" Lei Jun didn't expect Lu Yang to have such courage, "I don't know how many shares Mr. Lu plans to give?" ”
“10%。” Lu Yang didn't have to think about it and said directly, "My employees use their behavior to sue me that the company and the cause are not mine alone. I am very impressed that colleagues who can truly identify with this career should become the owners of the company, so I plan to give 10% of the shares to the company's management. ”
Lei Jun couldn't hide his surprise on his face, Lu Yang's move was definitely a big deal.
"Mr. Lu is really generous." Lei Jun praised, "The outside world's valuation of Tianxin Technology is 1500 to 200 billion, which is still a conservative estimate, even after the reorganization, the valuation of Tianxin Intelligent Electronics has declined, at least tens of billions, and Mr. Lu actually took out billions to reward employees......"
Lu Yang said with some emotion: "If it was before, I probably wouldn't have done this." But now, I think people are the most important thing compared to money. Doing business is not doing business, it requires feelings and ideals, and money is secondary. ”
Hearing this, Lei Jun was impressed by Lu Yang, and Lei Jun agreed with Lu Yang's feelings. It can be said that this is also his perception. In his heart, Lei Jun faced this young man for the first time, and at the same time, he had some expectations for Tianxin Intelligent Electronics Company in his heart.
"It's not just a technical genius, it's also a grand pattern." Lei Jun said in his heart.
Technical genius Lei Jun has seen a lot, he started his business in college, began to work in Jinshan in 92, experienced the start and golden age of Chinese Internet electronics, during this period, I don't know how many characters are dominant, the waves are sweeping, how many can really be brilliant to today?
In Lei Jun's view, a momentary ambition is nothing, and only those who have a far-sighted vision and a big enough pattern can continue to grow in the competition and become hegemon-level figures. Lei Jun thinks that he is such a character, so even if he leaves Jinshan, he does not panic, but silently accumulates, waiting for the opportunity to break out.
Lei Jun didn't expect to see such a character again, or such a young man.
couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for Lu Yang, and his attitude was not as cold as just now, and the two chatted more and more speculatively.
"The threshold for smartphones is not high, thanks to the development of global trade, as long as there is good design and creativity, even if you don't have your own core technology, you can still enter this field." Lei Jun's research on smartphones is deeper than Lu Yang imagined, and he does plan to start a business to make smartphones.
"Perhaps, but in my opinion, without core technology, everything is in the air." Lu Yang Road.
Lei Jun said: "The accumulation of technology takes time and capital, and the market can be done first in the early stage, and then invest in the development of technology." ”
"So how to ensure that the market can be opened without core technology?" Lu Yang asked rhetorically.
"Good marketing strategy." Lei Jun said, "There is also a clear product positioning. I expect that in the next three to five years, smartphones will replace feature phones and become the mainstream mobile phones in China. ”
Lei Jun's eyes lit up: "With the population of Huaxia, the most conservative estimate is that the number of smartphones needed every year is more than 300 million. Such a huge market, as long as it can occupy 10% of the share, is enough to support a company to complete the transformation from marketing to technology. ”
"But how much time will it take?" Lu Yang asked, "And this strategy is only suitable for China, and if you want to go abroad, I'm afraid it's difficult." Looking at what happened to Tianxin Technology in the United States, once those multinational giants feel threatened, they will immediately take up patent weapons. According to what you just did, without your own core technology, you have no power to fight back in front of those multinational companies. ”
"The most important thing is that the golden time for smartphones has already begun, and once you miss this time, it will be difficult to wait for the market to mature in the future." Lu Yang already understood in his heart that Lei Jun intended to make a smartphone, and he also understood his thinking. Through the conversation, Lu Yang felt that Lei Jun was very suitable to be the captain of Tianxin Intelligent Electronics, and deliberately persuaded him to dispel the idea of starting his own business and join Tianxin Intelligent Electronics Company.
"According to your idea, you can only start with design, and the product can only be positioned in the low-end market. In the absence of technology patents, the profits earned are probably very small. After that, if the company wants to develop, I am afraid it will also follow the old path of Internet companies, financing, listing...... Truth be told, such a company will only succeed in the future, if it will be successful. Lu Yang hit mercilessly.
Lei Jun was stunned, he didn't expect Lu Yang to grasp his train of thought so quickly.
"Mr. Lei, if that's the case, it's better to join Tianxin Intelligent Electronics." Lu Yang didn't think about making the other party change his mind without saying a word, "You can think about it." In terms of intelligent electronics, Tianxin Technology has laid a good foundation. In terms of software, there are already more than one million applications in the Tianxin App Store, and the updated version of the smart operating system will also appear in the next product. According to statistics, the current share of the Wisdom Alliance in the Chinese smartphone market exceeds 70%, and in the future, this share will expand. In terms of hardware, our 32nm mobile phone chip has been put into production, and the next generation of 22nm chip is under development. One of the biggest constraints of intelligent electronics is the battery, and Tianxin Technology has also made a breakthrough. As for LCD screen and storage technology, Tianxin Technology's technology is the most advanced in the world......"
Lu Yang's words made Lei Jun a little moved, ruled out the idea of starting a business, and let Lei Jun choose, among the most attractive companies in China, Tianxin Technology definitely ranks the highest.
"Mr. Lu thinks I can be qualified for Tianxin Intelligent Electronics?" Lei Jun asked.
"Not bad!" Lu Yang said decisively, "Tianxin Technology was founded by me, and I know better than anyone what kind of people it needs." ”
