Chapter 288 The Founding Partners of Rebellious Tiangang
Lei Jun actually does not look like a successful entrepreneur, but more like a trendy rock boy with medium-long hair and looks like The young version of Wu Bai has a chance to win.
What’s more important is that he is wearing a leather jacket, a vertical stripe shirt, and jeans, which makes him look informal and formal.
"Lao Cai, is this the Qingshan you often praise?"
Boss Lei is obviously not an i person.
He stared at Xu Qingshan for a moment and confirmed that the handsome guy in front of him was the Xu Qingshan he had seen on TV. He immediately pulled Cai Wensheng to Xu Qingshan.
When he speaks, his half-baked Mandarin can easily make people around him laugh.
"Yes, our Qingshan, what do you think? He's more handsome than what you saw on TV, right?"
"He's more handsome than when I was young. Damn, I'm so envious. ”
Lei Jun smiled broadly, but blurted out a sentence of national essence.
But the people present were not surprised, but came over with a smile.
Xu Qingshan was a little surprised, but generally it was expected.
After all, the man in front of me can also be said to be the most down-to-earth founder of a major company in the Internet era.
Compared to others such as Shizizuma Meidongzi, I don’t care about money, Jack Ma, etc., Lei Jun is almost the most unassuming corporate CEO.
When the first batch of Xiaomi su7 was released, he took a group photo and personally opened the door for the car owners.
When I got off work, I wanted to take a casual photo of Xiaomi’s logo and the moon. I ignored the image and got down on all fours, lying on the ground to take the photo.
Thinking of that photo, Xu Qingshan couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go, it's not good for us to be stuck here. Let's go up first and talk while eating."
Lei Jun has a natural affinity.
When he saw Xu Qingshan smile, he also smiled sincerely, expressed his kindness towards Xu Qingshan, and personally held the arms of Cai Wensheng and Xu Qingshan, without any airs or concepts of hierarchy.
"Thank you, Mr. Lei."
Xu Qingshan glanced at Cai Wensheng and found that Cai Wensheng was also very happy, so he was not polite and accompanied Lei Jun and the others into the hotel.
"Don't be so polite. Since you are Lao Cai's little brother, you are also my good friend. You are here to have dinner today to give me face. It just so happens that all members of our team are here today. Wait. Wait for me to introduce you and get to know you, people like A Bin will be very interested in you."
After Lei Jun met Xu Qingshan, he became a chatterbox.
Actually, he usually talks a lot, but not as closely as he does now.
It's just that others don't know that Lei Jun's emphasis on Xu Qingshan is not just about the Qingshan Capital in Xu Qingshan's hands, but about Xu Qingshan himself and his technology.
The group of people arrived at the private room upstairs, and soon it was filled with people.
Xu Qingshan can be regarded as meeting the founding team of Xiaomi, or it is still called Heimi, at once.
Needless to say, Lei Jun, the eldest brother, took the lead. He and Cai Wensheng sat in the main seat together, but after that, Xu Qingshan sat on the other side of Lei Jun, and Lin Bin sat on the side of Cai Wensheng. .
Although there were two people separated in the middle, Xu Qingshan did clearly feel the burning gazes from several members of Xiaomi’s founding team.
Lin Bin is a tall, thin man with a broad forehead, wearing rimmed glasses, and looks a bit bookish.
He is the most enthusiastic person here towards Xu Qingshan.
“Qingshan, can I call you that?”
Over there, Lei Jun was still chatting with Cai Wensheng. After Lin Bin toasted Cai Wensheng a cup of tea, he started to hold the tea He took the initiative to attack Xu Qingshan.
“Of course there is no problem, Brother Bin, I have admired you for a long time.”
Xu Qingshan also returned a cup of tea.
"Qingshan, have you heard Wen Sheng talk about me? But we didn't have much overlap in business before."
Lin Bin smiled humbly, but praised him in return green hills.
"Qingshan, I have read your previous ICML paper, and I have also watched the video of you being drunk at the meeting. My friend at Beijing University told me that in recent times, Beijing University has Daxinke has relied on your strength and connections to carry out many machine learning projects in the field of artificial intelligence."
With Lin Bin's speech, Xu Qingshan understood why Lei Jun said they were so looking forward to talking to him. Met.
Today's Xiaomi team has not even established the final and most formal company, and has not even produced a complete concept map of the mobile phone it wants to make. However, it has far-reaching insights into its understanding and expectations of artificial intelligence. .
Xu Qingshan also became interested and started chatting with Lin Bin.
"Brother Bin, I know you not because of Brother Wen Sheng, but because after you were invited by Boss Li to return to China and join Microsoft Research Asia, you carried out more than 70 technology transformations in three years and independently developed There are more than ten technologies. Teachers at Beijing University of Science and Technology often use you as an example to encourage students to focus more on technology, but they never expected that you would give up Google's high salary and Mr. Lei to start a business. "
"Hey, people always have to have dreams, what if they come true?"
Lin Bin was obviously very open to Xu Qingshan's questions.
He smiled brightly and squeezed out the Chinese character "小川" between his eyebrows.
“And in fact, Google is not very adaptable in China. I am more optimistic about Baidu than Google.”
“And Mr. Lei unexpectedly has the same ideas as mine. Let me tell you something interesting. ”
Lin Bin drank cup after cup of tea while chatting passionately with Xu Qingshan.
“In November last year, Mr. Lei and I met for the first time. We hit it off immediately. You would never have imagined that we met in a conference room with four people, each carrying a School bag.”
"We sat down and chatted for three words, then opened my schoolbag and poured it on the table. They were all mobile phones of various brands and shapes. That's when we met our eyes."
"As a result, you guessed it, Mr. Lei told me at that time What? He introduced me to his projects and ideals, and then said: "Let's do something big together, something bigger." Do you know how I feel? It's the feeling of drinking with a close friend. ”
But there are Cai Wensheng and Lei Jun between them, so of course their words can be heard.
"Hey, Qingshan, what do you mean by this? Isn't this the right place for A Bin to show off his skills?"
Lei Jun spoke first, but just looked at his smile. , knowing that he didn’t take Xu Qingshan’s words to heart.
"Also, A Bin, don't take away all my lines. I won't have anything to say to refresh Qingshan's impression later."
Lei Jun in life is obviously better than in society. Those in the media are more humorous and interesting, and have strong personality charm and aura.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Lei, tell me." Lin Bin was about to discuss his ideals with Xu Qingshan, but was interrupted by Lei Jun. He was not angry, but joked like a good friend.
“Hey, A Bin, I’m not telling you, your words are too confidential, you snatched our handsome boy away to talk to yourself, and didn’t give us a chance, Brother Jun. , please wait a moment and let me do it first!”
Lei Jun had just finished speaking, but Lin Bin didn't continue. Li Wanqiang, who had been waiting eagerly for a long time to talk to Xu Qingshan, took advantage of every opportunity.
“Beautiful boy, I’m from eastern Guangdong, next door to you. I know Longjiang. I lived in Longjiang for a while when I was a child. Hey, what am I going to say? Yes, I’m telling you. , A Bin’s is definitely not as fun as mine.”
Li Wanqiang has a round head, a shaved head, an eight on his cheek when he smiles, and a pair of glasses, making him look handsome. Very honest.
“When Brother Jun was at Jinshan, I was in charge of the user experience and design team. When Brother Jun chatted with me in the middle of last year to reminisce about old times, he said to me directly: ‘Stop talking nonsense. "Fuck me," eh, yes, that's it, I'll do it! "
Li Wanqiang is very proud of this matter.
"Young man, you have to know that at that time I didn't even know what Brother Jun wanted to do. As far as my relationship with Brother Jun was concerned, there was no need to ask. Even if he wanted to rob a bank, I would have to drive for him. Let’s have some fun!”
Li Wanqiang looks like a simple science and engineering man, but the words coming out of his mouth are filled with fierceness.
“Brother Jun didn’t tell me what he wanted to do, but based on the tacit understanding between Brother Jun and I, I knew in October that he definitely wanted to make mobile phones!”
Lei Jun said helplessly on the sidelines smiled.
In this dinner, Lin Bin and Li Wanqiang were the ones who talked the most. Others sitting next to them, KK Huang Jiangji, who was recommended by Lin Bin, is from Hong Kong. His Mandarin is not particularly good, and he is also relatively shy. Shy.
Lin Bin's old subordinate at Microsoft and former senior product manager of Google China, Hong Feng, is a man of few words.
As for the founders Xu Qingshan has known about, the remaining Liu De and Zhou Guangping are still in contact and have not yet been fully confirmed to join.
Actually, Hong Feng and Huang Jiangji are also very interested in Xu Qingshan, but one of them feels that this is not the right time for them to show up, and they prefer to discuss issues seriously in private. One of them feels that the relationship is not that close, and they Wouldn't it be presumptuous to interrupt rashly?
But Lei Jun was keenly aware of this.
He waved his hand and interrupted Li Wanqiang's memories of the golden years, and instead took the initiative to introduce Hong Feng and Huang Jiangji to Xu Qingshan and Cai Wensheng.
"Lao Cai, Qingshan, this is Jiang Ji, surnamed Huang, from Hong Kong. He used to be responsible for large-scale database management. Later, he was responsible for the Windows Mobile module at Microsoft and served as the engineering director of the entire mobile project. Speaking of mobile Mobile phone system, Jiang Ji is definitely this.”
Lei Jun gave a thumbs up with his finger.
I don’t know why, Xu Qingshan always feels that he is comparing himself to OK.
If Mr. Lei doesn’t adjust this habit, famous scenes and memes will still appear in the future.
“Hello, I’m Huang Jiangji. You can call me KK. That’s what my colleagues and friends call me.”
Huang Jiangji is actually quite handsome, with a refined temperament. He stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly. He looked much more formal than Lin Bin and Li Wanqiang.
Lei Jun smiled and nodded to Huang Jiangji.
Then, he introduced the last young man with a shy smile, who never said a word from beginning to end, and only glanced at Xu Qingshan from time to time.
"Xiao Hong, Hong Feng, he is so awesome."
When Lei Jun mentioned Hong Feng, the look of pride and pride on his face did not seem to be fake.
"Do you know? When A Bin recommended him to me, I wanted to interview him. After all, founding partners are very important."
Lei Jun poured himself tea with a smile, and then He also refilled the empty cups for Cai Wensheng and Xu Qingshan beside him and continued talking.
“Abin told me at that time, he said, Hong Feng doesn’t like to talk, so don’t take the interview too seriously. His projects are all there, and I can see his ability. No problem, Mr. Lei, you must not judge a person based on his ability to express himself. What you want is someone who is technical and practical, not someone who can talk.”
Lei Jun. As he spoke, he imitated Lin Bin's tone at that time.
Lin Bin on the side touched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"Do you know what happened?"
Lei Jun said helplessly.
"How is it?"
Cai Wensheng was very curious, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a smirk.
“I was originally prepared to ask him ten questions and he would answer me ten words. But when we met, I didn’t know whether it was me interviewing him or him interviewing me.”
Lei Jun's helpless and aggrieved tone as he drew, along with his classic accent, made everyone present laugh.
These guys don't give their boss any face at all, and their main strategy is to rebel against Tiangang.
"He actually prepared more than a hundred questions to ask me. When those questions were asked, my scalp went numb."
Lei Jun rubbed his hair with an interesting expression. .
“Obviously I was planning to take the lead in making mobile phones, but the questions he asked were more detailed, in-depth and difficult than what I prepared for him.”
After saying that, Lei Jun patted the striped shirt on his chest in relief and sighed with a smile.
"Fortunately, you can see him sitting here during today's dinner, which means that I, the boss, can still catch his eye."
Hong Feng still remained shy. smile.
He was also wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with the word "Mighty" written on it in white ink. After groping the round back of his head, he said as if to make up for Lei Jun.
“Actually, at that time, I just felt that this matter was fun enough and the boss’s dream was big enough. Logically speaking, based on the boss’s thinking and judgment, this matter was reliable enough because it could challenge ”
"Of course, from a practical perspective, it can also be said that this matter is unreliable enough. Considering our current scale, it is absolutely unreliable."
When Hong Feng said this, Xu Qingshan It was observed that Lei Jun's expression did not change at all, and his smile was still so relaxed and sincere.
“But it’s very challenging, so I decided to give it a try.”
That’s all Hong Feng said.
Over there, Li Wanqiang started to make a fuss and make fun of Lei Jun. The founding team talked to each other, and they almost stripped Lei Jun, who was starting a business for his dream, from his underwear in the early days to Cai Wensheng and Xu Qingshan looked at it.
But it is undeniable.
Xu Qingshan really felt that these founding partners who rebelled against Tiangang were very energetic and passionate. He also envied and admired Lei Jun for being able to integrate such a team.
It was only after the conversation was in full swing and after tea for three rounds that we talked about investment and entrepreneurial ideas.
