Reborn multinational giant

560 Apple Cook's Apology

"Smart Internet of Things"

President Lei and Lin Xiaobin are full of illusions about Fang Zhe’s words, but they are not those hot-headed entrepreneurs. Although the intelligent Internet of Things looks very beautiful, it is just like Fang Zhe said at the IT summit. , If this field wants to mature, at least it has to wait until the 5G era, 5-10 years later!

In other words, if Xiaomi really intends to be involved in this field, then Xiaomi must be prepared for this business in 5-10 years and will not be able to get in. If you want to be the top in the industry or even in the world, you don’t even know how to get in. How much real money!

Seeing the hesitant expressions of President Lei and Lin Xiaobin, Fang Zhe asked inexplicably:

"Why, I have said so clearly, but I see you two, it seems that you still have a knot?"

Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin glanced at each other and replied helplessly: "The main thing is money. You know, Xiaomi has been established for a short time, and you can’t make much money from selling a mobile phone. In the past six months, Xiaomi has entered the international market and invested in India. It also spent a lot of money to build a factory and develop Huami mobile phones. There is really no extra money to do the things you said!"

After hearing this, Fang Zhe was taken aback, yes, under the impetus of his own rebirth, Xiaomi's development speed in this life is much faster than in the previous life. This has also led to Xiaomi's capital chain has been very tight, otherwise Fang Zhe would not encourage it. Lei Zong and Xiaomi entered the high-end mobile phone field with high profits.

However, even if the Huami mobile phone can be an instant hit after the release, alleviating the financial pressure of Xiaomi, it will be four or five months or even a half year later!

Fang Zhe patted his head. According to Fang Zhe’s impression, at this time in his previous life, Xiaomi started the ecological chain strategy, invested and supported a large number of startups in the field of mobile phone peripherals and smart hardware, and entered into Xiaomi. The intelligent Internet of Things is well prepared in advance.

But now, because of the relationship between promoting the internationalization of Xiaomi and entering the high-end mobile phone market to develop Huami phones, Xiaomi has no money to build an ecological chain, which makes Fang Zhe feel like he is shooting himself in the foot.

"Yes, take your own scapegoat!" Fang Zhe picked up his eyelids and scolded with a smile:

"Okay, you two don't need to cry poor in front of me. I can let Huizhong lend 1 billion to Xiaomi in the name of the company's loan. After the Huami mobile phone is released, the capital chain will be returned, and Xiaomi will slowly return it!"

"One billion, I'm afraid it's too small. This is a bit inconsistent with your status as the richest man!" The two people, Lei Zong and Lin Xiaobin, who were dismantled by Fang Zhe, didn't feel any embarrassment at all. Instead, they had a thick-skinned way.

Fang Zhe gave them a roll of eyes and said, "Less? Then I won't lend you a cent at all, or according to the old rules, two points lower than the bank interest rate.

One billion is enough as the start-up capital of Xiaomi's smart Internet of Things business. When the follow-up Huami mobile phone makes a lot of money, I will not stop how much you want to spend!"

President Lei and Lin Xiaobin were a little bit dumbfounded. Before the Huami phone was released, Fang Zhe first thought for them how to spend the money earned by the Huami phone. Is Fang Zhe so confident that the Huami phone must be sold at a big deal ?

However, thinking of the various black technologies and high-end services equipped with Huami phones, Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin are a little more confident in their hearts. They believe that the advent of Huami phones will surely surprise the world!

Fang Zhe stayed at Xiaomi until the evening and left. During this period, he and Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin discussed in detail Xiaomi's three-step plan for the layout of the intelligent Internet of Things.

The first is to throw beans into soldiers, invest in and support a group of start-ups, use Xiaomi's quality control capabilities and brand effects to create a series of Xiaomi products and build the Xiaomi ecological chain.

Then it will work with traditional electronics manufacturers such as Gree and Changhong to help them build the Internet of Things in the process of intelligentization and Internetization.

Finally, relying on massive Xiaomi user data and hardware data, integrate AI into the Internet of Things to build a truly intelligent Internet of Things!

After some imagination, Fang Zhe and Mr. Lei seem to have seen the future of the global electronic hardware industry and the bright prospects of Xiaomi in the next two decades.

In the middle of the night, Fang Zhe, who had just returned home after dinner with the three of Lei, unexpectedly received a transoceanic call from the current Apple CEO Cook.

"This is the old man who beat the young man himself!" Fang Zhe ridiculed and surprised Apple's efficiency, but he was not worried about Cook and Apple's blame.

However, what Fang Zhe did not expect was that Cook made this call to himself to apologize.

"Fang, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. It's not working hours. I will call you as a friend. I apologize for David's unreasonableness in the morning!"

Cook’s voice on the phone was euphemistic and full of sincerity. Although he was not like Steve Jobs and Fang Zhe was a year-long friend, but he had met Fang Zhe as early as when Huizhong was founded. After a few years of contact, the two of them did not. It's a friend.

"Can't the hard be the soft?" Fang Zhe smiled sloppyly with Cook, but he was very rational in his heart. Since he has promised to support Xiaomi, he must speak for himself.

No, Cook never mentioned that Xiaomi would postpone the Huami conference. He just said that he would let David go to the public to apologize, and then put up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Fang Zhe pondered for a moment before he figured out the joints. Now Huizhong is about to be listed. As a shareholder of Huizhong, Apple is naturally unwilling to offend Fang Zhe and affect Apple's interests in Huizhong.

And Cook's refusal to mention Xiaomi's affairs is tantamount to telling Fang Zhe that Huizhong is Huizhong and Xiaomi is Xiaomi. Apple does not want to engage in evil with Huizhong, and that Xiaomi does not want Huizhong to interfere.

"Hmph, don't you say you don't intervene if you don't intervene? Soldiers come to cover the water and earth. With the help of me, a rebirth, I don't believe that Xiaomi can't beat you!" Fang Zhe thought indifferently.

Supporting the rise of domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi is related to the stability of Huizhong’s global business. Even without Xiaomi, Fang Zhe will support domestic companies such as Huawei or oppo to enter overseas. As a multinational giant, Fang Zhe, how could he be caught? Ke's short words intimidated?

As time entered the middle of May, the Huizhong listing team was still busy with due diligence and other related work. Fang Zhe, secretary Li Wen, and several entourage flew to Hangzhou to participate in the logistics information company discussed with Ali at the beginning of the year. , The establishment ceremony of Cainiao Network!
