Leader Lei’s decision to join Makino Technology is particularly rare good news for Li Mu.
Since his rebirth, he has become more and more aware that talents with real operational talent are the rarest.
The operating landscape in Li Mu's eyes is very large, and it is not comparable to ordinary operators. What he wants is not an operator who can revitalize a certain point. What he wants is an expert who understands operations and can revitalize the whole aspect.
Different from technology, products and other supporting links, operations are truly linked to profits and flow. Everyone’s efforts and resources gathered by everyone, how to realize them and how to generate more cash, all depends on operations.
Senior Brother Liu is a good operator, but Li Mu values his ability to control the overall situation. After all, in his previous life, JD.com was able to take the top spot in B2C, able to complete such a huge order volume, handle so many suppliers, and complete such huge purchases. , and maintain a logistics team of tens of thousands of people. Without strong overall control capabilities, it is impossible to succeed.
If you want to intuitively see how powerful Brother Liu is, you only need to look at the market value gap in 2016 between JD.com, which was founded in 2004, and Dangdang, which was founded in 1999. You will know that there is at least a hundred dollars between Brother Liu and Li Guoqing. A Chen Ou.
This is a critical moment for the company. If Li Mu wants to develop rapidly, he cannot push Senior Brother Liu to a functional position that controls the overall situation. Therefore, Li Mu wants him to focus most of his energy on Taobao Logistics and Taobao. , either support it yourself, or find someone to support it yourself.
It's okay to support him temporarily, but if he needs to support him for a long time, Li Mu himself can't bear it, so Leader Lei is the best candidate to serve as Taobao's chief operating officer in Li Mu's mind.
Although Master Lei is a computer major, his operational capabilities are definitely not comparable to those of ordinary people. The hunger marketing model he created for Xiaomi is simply a miracle in the Chinese mobile phone industry. Although the industry and society have mixed praise and criticism for him, Li Mu is very fond of him. He still admires him very much. This kind of person knows what he wants and is willing to achieve his goal at all costs. At the same time, he has enough ability to support him to truly achieve his goal, so this kind of person is particularly rare.
Li Mu’s plan is to first put Master Lei in the role of Taobao’s chief operating officer, take over Taobao’s operations, and at the same time work with Liu Edong to build Taobao’s self-operated system. If there is an opportunity to develop hardware in the future, he must bring Master Lei back. Take time out and let him do what he is best at and does best—making hardware and building a comprehensive hardware ecosystem.
Just because Leader Lei was interested in joining, Li Mu deliberately postponed the meeting on the Taobao daily necessities promotion event, and decided to wait until he had reached an agreement with Leader Lei before inviting him to participate in the promotion.
Li Mu attaches great importance to this promotional event. If the last Brand Day was the opening song of Taobao's debut, then this time it will be the finale of Taobao's debut. If it can open up the situation this time, then the domestic market will definitely be ahead of schedule. The era of universal online shopping has begun, and he also believes that as long as Master Lei participates in this promotion, he will definitely develop a strong sense of belonging and attachment to Taobao, a platform that can change people's lives in this era. , for him, it is definitely the best platform he dreams of.
The next morning, Master Lei set out to return to Yanjing.
After having a drink with Mr. Ma last night, Master Lei spent the night in bed in the hotel thinking about his current situation. Thinking about it carefully, Zhuo Zhuo basically collapsed, and most of Xishanju also collapsed. In this case, Even if Li Mu hadn't poached him to go Taobao, he wouldn't have been able to stay at Jinshan any longer. The only way to go was to resign. As for why, the various relationships involved were complicated.
After arriving in Yanjing, Master Lei took a taxi directly to Jinshan to meet with his boss, Qiu Bojun.
Leader Lei and Qiu Bojun have known each other for many years. In the eyes of outsiders, Qiu Bojun is indeed Leader Lei’s best friend. They also naturally feel that Leader Lei has dedicated his service in Jinshan for so many years in order to repay his kindness. But in fact, the relationship between the two is Not nearly as good as it looks.
At this time, Leader Lei has grown into a very capable and experienced Internet tycoon. He is a shareholder of Kingsoft and the chairman of Joyo.com. If Li Mu's Taobao hadn't knocked Joyo to pieces, Leader Lei would definitely be the leader. One of the top figures in the industry, his competition with Qiu Bojun in Jinshan is also extremely fierce. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Master Lei is very obsessed with truly taking charge of Jinshan, but Qiu Bojun is older than him and has a higher status than him. It's not something he can easily shake.
The conceptual differences between the two are the key to the gradual coldness of their relationship. Qiu Bojun is a programmer and the father of WPS. For him, he pays more attention to the technical route of software development.
Leader Lei is a talent in operations and marketing at heart, and he is also an ambitious man. He has long felt that the true path to success for China Internet lies not in software development, but in the creation and operation of platforms.
Joyo.com is an e-commerce platform. It is a localized e-commerce platform modeled after Amazon. This is also one of the things that Master Lei wants to do most. Engage in e-commerce and become a multi-billion-dollar company like Amazon. A large Internet company with a valuation of tens of billions of dollars.
At the same time, Leader Lei is also aware of the huge profit margins of online games. He really wants Jinshan to develop and operate his own online games, so he is particularly interested in Xishanju. However, these are very different from Qiu Bojun's ideas.
Mr. Lei worked hard to win these two extraordinary opportunities. He originally wanted to rely on these two fields to prove his superior strength. These two projects are like the gifts given by Master Lei. If he wins the two turnaround battles he planned, he will have a chance to take the top spot; if he loses, his current position will not be guaranteed.
Unexpectedly, these two projects basically failed under the influence of Li Mu.
Joyo.com was ruined because it chose the wrong direction. It should not imitate Amazon's success and produce books in the Chinese market. The Chinese book market has never prospered. How can e-commerce stand out in this market? It was like a house built on quicksand. Li Mu's chariot rumbled past, without even specifically crushing it or firing at it. It itself fell into the quicksand due to the vibration of the chariot.
As for Xishanju... it's basically down now.
The two projects failed one after another. Under this situation, Leader Lei knew very well that it would be difficult for him to regain a foothold in Jinshan. Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave his job and do something bigger with Li Mu. Anyway, his current thinking Model and Kingsoft's board of directors already have huge differences. If they continue to stay, they will become more passive.
Qiu Bojun didn't expect that after Master Lei went to the Pearl Market, he would ask for his resignation when he came back. Although he said words of comfort, he was inevitably a little proud in his heart.
In his opinion, Lei Jun has become a bit drifting in the past two years. He has changed from an executor who completely carried out his orders to a spoiler who often refutes his own opinions and is always trying to make other attempts. Qiu Bojun wants to The overall situation gave him the opportunity to try, but what he didn't expect was that both attempts failed.
Leader Lei did not accept the step given by Qiu Bojun. He insisted on resigning, thinking that he was no longer suitable for the development of Jinshan. Qiu Bojun failed to retain him, and soon gave up on retaining him, and chatted with him seriously about shares.
What Qiu Bojun meant was that it would be okay if Leader Lei insisted on resigning. According to the contract, he could already get most of the shares promised to him. Jinshan would take back the remaining small shares in accordance with the contract. Leader Lei had no objection to this. .
Leader Lei also knew very well that Qiu Bojun didn't really want to keep him, and it was very likely that he had wanted to leave his job a long time ago. Although the two were friends, they were out-and-out competitors in work and career. Everyone hopes to beat the other party or prevent the other party from catching up with them, and Leader Lei knows this very well.
After talking about shares, Qiu Bojun turned the topic to Joyo.com.
Qiu Bojun also knows that if Lei Jun leaves, no one is good at how to operate this website, and no one is sure to save it from its decline, so Joyo.com is likely to die like this. If Lei Jun leaves, Who will take the blame for the collapse of Joyo.com? Rather than wait for him to leave and then let someone take the blame, it is better to let him sell Joyo now, once and for all.
So Qiu Bojun changed his previous attitude that he thought Taobao's price was too low, and said to Master Lei: "Let's do this. Excellence was founded by you. If you want to leave Jinshan, then I will meet and chat with the person in charge of Lenovo." After a while, try to get them to agree to sell Joyo.com, and then you can finally do something for the company and complete the sale of Joyo.com, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end in Jinshan for so many years."
Leader Lei nodded and agreed without hesitation. Joyo.com is what he has to do. If it fails, he will naturally be responsible. If it is sold at a valuation of 10 million, the two major shareholders, Kingsoft and Lenovo, will only receive the proceeds. Part of the cost has been recovered, and part of it has been lost and cannot be recovered. Therefore, I must bear the blame for the collapse of Joyo.com.
Therefore, Qiu Bojun asked Master Lei to rest in the company first, and then he drove to Lenovo and sat down with the relevant interface people to discuss the matter of Joyo.com.
Leader Lei couldn't wait to meet and chat with Li Mu at this moment, and asked Li Mu what he would need to do and what he would get if he joined Muye Technology. If it was suitable, he would join Taobao. If not, he would just go out and start his own business.
Thinking of this, Leader Lei immediately contacted Liu Yidong, and Liu Yidong found Li Mu. Li Mu counted the time and made an appointment with Leader Lei: at eight o'clock in the evening, they would meet for a detailed discussion.
