There are still three fires for the new official to take office, and Li Donglai, the new boss, does not need to burn the fire, but he spends such a large amount of money to buy a communication company, and naturally he does not want others to see his jokes.
The first thing he did was to inject $100 million directly into the company's account for scientific research and development of Xiaomi's next-generation mobile phone.
The injection of this fund has also directly expanded Xiaomi's R&D and publicity structure, and it is no longer subject to the constraints of mobile phone parts suppliers. As for whether to build franchise outlets or open factories, it is not considered for the time being. Neither he nor the Messiah team are professionals, and it is better to leave professional matters to professionals.
The company changed hands, and the top management was halfway gone.
The previous founders of the company, except for Li Xuelin, who is also a member of the board of directors, continues to serve as CEO, Zhao Bin, a member of the board of directors, also continues to serve as CTO, and He Zhenyu, a member of the board of directors, who continues to serve as CFO, have all rejected Li Donglai's retention.
Such an empty high-rise, naturally filled quickly.
And the leader who has been contacted with the help of headhunters, Hugo Barra, global vice president of Google and vice president of Android products, finally began to set off after receiving an invitation from Li Donglai to fully control Xiaomi Technology and offer a high price, ready to go to China to join the Phantom.
After receiving Li Donglai's invitation, Hugo Barra officially announced his imminent departure on his personal Google account with the title of "A New Chapter for Android". And in a few weeks, it will be decided to join the Phantom-Xiaomi team as global vice president. and said goodbye to his colleagues at Google.
On the same day, Li Donglai confirmed the news on his Twitter, face familiar and personal homepage, and welcomed the arrival of Hugo Bala: "...... Together, we will create a new era of zĂ o. â
Although Hugo Barra is not as powerful as Rubin, the father of Android, within Google, he has really surprised the industry by jumping from the world-renowned Google to a local start-up in the mainland.
This news has also been highlighted by most domestic and foreign media, and has been hotly discussed on Chinese Weibo.
It seems that Li Donglai is really going to do a big job this time, and the death of Jobs made him lose confidence in Apple. Quickly sold Apple's shares and transferred funds to Chinese mainland.
Xiaomi was still at the level of small shrimp in the mainland a week ago, and some people in Hong Kong and Taiwan may know about it, but there will definitely not be many. In the world, it is even more obscure.
But a week later, the name "Xiaomi" continued to dominate the headlines of Hong Kong and Taiwan newspapers, and repeatedly appeared in the world's major financial newspapers, greatly increasing its popularity.
Perhaps this is the direct change brought about by Li Donglai's accession.
Li Donglai is no longer satisfied with the development of film and television, he is building his own kingdom in a big way. Mobile phones are the next big thing. And to lay a large territory, it is natural to need generals who can fight well, Hugo Barra's joining will only be the first, who will be next, Apple or Samsung?
This ambitious, courageous and intelligent young man will definitely give everyone more shocks in the future.
According to the plan, the partners will be invited to witness the inauguration of the new company. Li Donglai did not forget the original agreement, and casually dialed Fan Binbin's phone.
"The big boss from the east, how could he be willing to call me, a little star." A charming voice came from the opposite side, which made Li Donglai feel a little hot to hear.
"Hey, I miss you."
Li Donglai smiled, and chatted with her for a few more words before getting to the point, "Sister Bingbing, you told me before that you wanted to invest in mobile phones together." Now is the time. Are you ready, my big baby? â
"Ahh
Fan Binbin was a little surprised, and at the same time he couldn't help but worry with some joy in his heart.
Recently, there has been such a hot domestic speculation about Li Donglai's investment in Xiaomi, it is impossible for her not to know. At first, she just said it casually, and Li Donglai agreed. She actually didn't pay much attention to it, she thought that Li Donglai was also casually talking, but she didn't expect him to really find it.
Li Donglai has made great efforts to acquire Xiaomi Technology, and nearly 500 million US dollars of capital has been invested in it.
Fan Binbin has become more and more popular over the years, whether it is endorsement, commercial performance, or his own movies, it is very smooth. It can be regarded as helping her accumulate a lot of belongings. So when the reporter asked about marrying into a wealthy family, she dared to say the classic remark of "I am a wealthy family".
From the perspective of a star, she is not short of money, but this capital is obviously not enough in front of a communication company with a huge investment of more than 3 billion.
The legend of his investment has never missed, and he has been praised to the sky.
The investment that such a character looks at will naturally not be bad. If Li Donglai shouted to the outside world that he was willing to bring people to invest together, then there would definitely be countless people rushing to him.
But at this time, Fan Binbin was very worried, and hesitated: "Is my money enough?" â
Li Donglai smiled, "It seems that you haven't thought about it yet." By the way, the day after tomorrow, my new company will hold a signing ceremony, can you come and attend? â
Fan Binbin smiled and said, "Are you inviting me?" My appearance fee is very expensive. â
Li Donglai smiled and said, "Hey, give you a hot dog to eat, do you want it!" Hot milk was also given free of charge. â
"Phew, it's not serious."

The news that Li Donglai is making another billion dollars on Wall Street has long been rumored. Forbes' wealth list for this year was released at the beginning of the month, but after the news of Li Donglai's high-priced sale of Apple stocks broke, he broke the routine and made a second release update for him again.
Hollywood star income list, this year's highest income is still him.
Whether it is the big hit of "The Hangover 2", the global box office of "Due Date" exceeded 300 million, or "Twilight 4" became popular all over the world. There are good reasons to be on the list. What's more, the sales of a record have exceeded 18 million, becoming the singer with the highest sales after Adele this year, and the first male singer in record sales this year. He had the opportunity to achieve better results, but unfortunately he focused on film shooting in the second half of the year, not only did the second album skip the ticket, but also cooled the sales of the first album.
Other than that, he doesn't receive many advertisements. But each of them is the best of the best.
This year is the year of his advertising contract, and naturally a large number of world-famous brands have come to his door. The most concerned is the new men's clothing brand named after Li Donglai, which is about to cooperate with well-known brands.
Secondly, it is the first time that Chanel No. 5 perfume has found a male endorsement.
And Leonardo, who ranks second on the Hollywood male star income list, is only 77 million. Robert Downey Jr.'s income of 31 million can only rank seventh among male stars.
Angelina Jolie topped the list of actress earnings again with $33 million. Sarah Jessica Parker 30 million is a close second. Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston was third with 28 million. Kristen Stewart 20 million is in sixth place.
However, this year's "Harry Potter" finale won the annual box office champion, but failed to make Emma Watson on the list, all because she was suddenly pregnant, and a series of activities were canceled.
But the Hollywood media didn't care about Emma's loss, because a paparazzi had already taken a full picture of her Emma and inquired about the interior of the yacht in private. This yacht alone will be worth no less than $30 million!
Now the relocation of funds back to the mainland is undoubtedly the most welcome by the authorities. The procedure for changing the name at the financial institution can be approved as soon as possible.
Xiaomi's official website is officially under the umbrella of the Phantom official website, and the first news released after the construction of the new wait-and-see is that the unveiling and signing ceremony of the new company will be held.
"Congratulations, Mr. Li's move is really extraordinary, congratulations on the big sale of Xiaomi mobile phones." Wanda's boss Wang Jianlin made a special congratulatory call. Li Donglai's celebrity friends in the entertainment industry, Liu Dehua, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and others also opened congratulatory calls.
On the Forbes list of China's richest people, Li Donglai has entered the top 30, and his personal assets are almost comparable to Ma Huateng. In this society, where there is money, there is milk, and the improvement of status and influence gradually do not reach the entertainment industry. All possible business partners sent congratulatory messages.
Li Donglai has been worrying about inviting guests to the opening of the new company in the past few days, and whenever he calls, he will send out invitations.
The signing ceremony of the company was held in Beijing, and more than 300 news media came to the scene on the same day.
When all the names were signed in front of the camera lens, Li Donglai also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Then he spoke for the first time on behalf of the president of the new company, and officially changed the name of Xiaomi to Phantom-Xiaomi. In the future, the products produced by Phantom Xiaomi Technology Company will add the Phantom's classic ink villain LOGO.
Li Donglai, as the president of Phantom-Xiaomi, invited Ma Huang, the founder of Taobao, Ma Huateng, Zhang Dongzhi, the founder of Penguin, and Liu Zhiping, CEO of Xinglang, NetEase, Pengdu and Paipai.com, were all invited to attend the witness.
These are the leaders of domestic e-commerce, and whether the hungry marketing model of Phantom Xiaomi can realize Li Dong's bold promise of selling 400,000 units this year, it all depends on whether the cooperation with them is smooth in the future.
Hugo Barra, the incoming global vice president, also arrived from the United States to attend the signing ceremony and get to know his new colleagues.
South Korean electronics giant Samsung, Japanese electronics giant Sony, Chinese electronics giant Lenovo, as well as Nokia, Motorola and other communication giants, were all invited by Li Donglai.
Several major companies are competitors to each other, but companies like Xiaomi are still uncertain about the future. Even though he knew that he might be a potential enemy, he was still the object of cooperation.
Because Xiaomi develops new mobile phones, it is destined to have a large number of mobile phone parts purchased. Maybe it's Samsung, maybe it's Sony.
Li Donglai has abundant funds, and it doesn't look like he wants to make a small fuss, even if it is just to purchase some cameras, CPU chips, motherboards, systems, etc., it will be a big order.
Therefore, major companies have sent heavyweight representatives to attend. (To be continued)
