On Saturday, May 28, 2011, Li Rui met Lei Jun again.

Lei Jun is in a bad mood recently, and his investment projects are not going well, which is particularly frustrating.

Michat was strongly impacted by V-chat. Although the users are still increasing, the growth rate has dropped significantly. Through the background, you can see that the user's usage time continues to decline. Many users abandon Michat and go to use V-chat.

When Xiaomi was founded last year, Lei Jun planned to go hand in hand with mobile phones, Os system and Mida, build the Xiaomi ecosystem from three dimensions: hardware, system and software. After gaining a foothold, he will continue to develop the Internet of Things empire and form a perfect closed loop.

If everything goes according to the original plan, Xiao Mi’s mobile phone development should be coming to an end. Now he can almost enter the production stage, but he focused on Mi Jie’s development updates in the middle, and the progress of mobile phone development was severely slowed down.

There has been no progress in the design process.

After Michat was in trouble recently, Lei Jun realized that fighting giants like Penguin in the software dimension is definitely a major mistake. If you want to break the blockade of Bat three companies, you must break through the field they are not good at, and that is only hardware.

It's right.

After understanding this problem, Lei Jun wanted to adjust his strategic focus and return to mobile phone development, but found that the road was blocked.

First of all, in terms of mobile phone chip supply, Qualcomm made it clear that its production capacity was insufficient, and it might not be able to meet Xiao Mi's order demand before 2012, so it could only be supplied in limited quantities.

In Xiaomi's mobile phone design plan, high-performance chips are the most important link. If there is no chip provided by Qualcomm, how can we talk about performance?

If limited quantities are not achieved, large-scale production results will lead to a significant increase in production and sales costs.

Can't you do not need high-pass?

If we switch to MediaTek chips, Xiao Mi’s entire design idea needs to be completely changed. We can’t use MediaTek to tell everyone that we are born for a fever, right?

Then the major hardware manufacturers also gave reasons for insufficient production capacity.

If a family is like this, it cannot be like this, right?

After Lei Jun inquired, he found out that the supply of goods was booked by a mobile phone company called Xingrui.

So today's meeting was met.

In the cafe, Lei Jun said to Li Rui with a depressed look on his face: "Li Rui, when did you monopolize Qualcomm chips? I want to purchase Qualcomm chips for new mobile phones, and I said that you ordered them all!"

Li Rui said in surprise: "Have Mr. Lei started making mobile phones again? Why didn't he say it earlier? I'll leave a part of what he said earlier. Now I have made a production plan for the next year with Foxconn, and even a deposit is

If you hand it over, it really won’t help you.”

Lei Junjing said: "A year's production plan? Isn't this your first mobile phone? Why has you even decided on a year's production plan? How many units are you planning to produce?"

y

Li Rui raised two fingers.

Lei Jun said in surprise: "Two million units don't need to be delayed for a whole year. With Foxconn's efficiency, it can be done in one or two months. And it's not realistic for you to delay for so long. Now the update of mobile phones is too fast, and it's popular this year.

The phone may not be able to be sold next year..."

"It's not two million units, it's twenty million units." Li Rui corrected Lei Jun's misunderstanding.

"Two...two million units?" Lei Juno(?Д?)っ! "Are you kidding? How could you sell 20 million units for a new mobile phone brand? HTC's shipment volume last year

It's only more than 20 million!"

Lei Jun originally wanted to say whether Li Rui was crazy, but he changed it to "joking" when he said that, because people with normal minds couldn't do this.

Li Rui said: "It's not one mobile phone, but four mobile phones. I have more confidence in the smartphone market. Twenty million is not an unattainable goal."

"Four cell phones!" Lei Jun was startled again.

"If Mr. Lei has time, you can go to my place to check it out, not far from here." Li Rui said.

"I'll go and see!" Lei Jun rose up. He was indeed curious about why Li Rui was confident of selling 20 million mobile phones.

When he arrived at Xingrui's phone, he walked around inside and out, and looked at the real phone of H1 again, Lei Jun was silent.

For a moment, he even wondered if Li Rui had inserted a wiretap device into his head, otherwise how could he steal all his ideas about his mobile phone?

But Lei Jun soon realized that this was impossible. His ideas were not even well drawn, and Li Rui even took out the actual machine.

Thanks to his Xiao Mi phone not continuing to develop, otherwise the whole world would think that Xiao Mi phone copied Xingrui's phone, and it was not a good match, and there was not even a front-facing camera!

After looking at the idea of ​​Li Rui’s other three mobile phones, Lei Jun was completely speechless and even wanted to give up his plan to develop a mobile phone directly.

He felt that no matter how much he redesigned it, it would not be better than the ideas of Li Rui's four mobile phones.

What's more, the hardware supply was controlled by Li Rui, and the OEM production line was also contracted by Li Rui. What did he use to produce it?

"Mr. Lei, areyouok?" Seeing Lei Jun's indifference, Li Rui didn't dare to stimulate him anymore, so he shook his hand in front of him.

Lei Jun shook his head and said, "I'm fine... I just feel a little sad. I feel like I'm broken up when I was in college, as if I missed something precious."

Li Rui thought to himself: Mr. Lei, I’m really sorry! You are a small investment expert, so you will invest in the future. If you work so hard in the industry, let me do it.

After entering Qian Weichen's office, Lei Jun sighed again: "Old Qian, no wonder you refused to do it with me at the beginning. It turned out that you were waiting here. I admire your vision!"

Qian Weichen smiled and said, "Mr. Lei has gone too far. I have no vision. I just accept the money."

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Fortunately, Qian Weichen teased and said goodbye and left. Li Rui made a cup of tea for Lei Jun. Seeing that his eyes were a little dull, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lei, can you still do your phone?"

"No more, no more." Lei Jun shook his head.

Li Rui coughed lightly: "If you don't do it, will your team be useless? If you don't mind, I can accept it..."

Lei Jun looked at Li Rui deeply. Just when Li Rui felt a little regretful about making a cup of hot tea for him, he suddenly said, "Li Rui, thank you!"

"You're welcome." Li Rui laughed and wondered if it was too much. Haizhou hasn't thundered recently?

Lei Jun said again: "Since the second half of last year, my career has been hindered everywhere. Now Michat has been impacted and my phone can't be done. I'm really exhausted and exhausted... Lao Lin said that I might have been downgraded.

Let me go to Nantai to invite a little devil back to counterattack!"

Li Rui quickly said: "We are all materialists, don't believe in those messy feudal superstitions!"

Lei Jun thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. That kind of thing is a lie. I have to cheer up again!"

Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
