Chapter 290 The three founding shareholders and the industry-research cycle
The passion bursting out between Xu Qingshan and Lei Jun can be seen with the naked eye.
Although other people in the founding team also admire and recognize Xu Qingshan, when it comes to invitations to join the game, everyone has different attitudes.
After all, this is a real need to squeeze out other people's shares.
Of course, for the current founding team of Heimi, the influence brought by Xu Qingshan, in fact, the share share is the least significant thing.
Lin Bin's eyes flashed for a moment, and then he looked at Xu Qingshan with the same smile. Compared to Fenrun, he was also more optimistic about Xu Qingshan, a young talent who seemed to understand both technology and management.
Although it was only the first time they met today, Lin Bin also felt like old friends at first sight for Xu Qingshan, just like when he met Lei Jun at that time.
But some people feel uncomfortable.
Li Wanqiang looked on without saying a word. He didn't care how many shares he had.
But he has always liked to claim that he is Lei Jun's most capable right-hand man. They have worked together for more than ten years and are the most tacit partners.
Originally, Lei Jun asked Lin Bin to be the main partner, but Li Wanqiang had no objections.
In his opinion, Lin Bin and Lei Jun have more of a cooperative relationship, and he is the most important player under Lei Jun.
Guangzi is like this. Li Wanqiang used to watch Young and Dangerous a lot, although his image has nothing to do with Young and Dangerous.
Li Wanqiang adjusted his glasses.
Xu Qingshan joining the team in this way, in his opinion, will replace his role beside Lei Jun.
But Xu Qingshan brought money into the business, and Li Wanqiang, no matter what his status was, he had no position to prevent Xu Qingshan from joining.
Lei Jun stared at Xu Qingshan, and the scene was quiet for a long time.
Cai Wensheng looked around, wondering if he should speak out to warm up the situation, but he heard Lei Jun's firm voice.
"That's it."
Lei Jun stretched out his hand towards Xu Qingshan.
"Qingshan, you will be our chief scientist, vice president of strategy and third largest individual shareholder. I will accept the US$20 million from you."
For this reason, Lei Jun also arranged two names for Xu Qingshan, which sounds a bit half-baked.
"Okay, later I will ask someone to handle the investment and share matters. Brother Jun, you can arrange it. I believe in Brother Cai and I believe in you."
Xu Qingshan smiled brightly and held Lei Jun's hand firmly.
"Okay! Very OK!"
Lei Jun suddenly choked out a sentence.
After talking about the matter, the rest was just to eat and chat. After confirming the intention, Lei Jun was more willing to talk about many deep things.
Now, this team of 14 people, which has not yet reached the official establishment time, has begun to discuss in an orderly manner how to build the core structure of their respective businesses.
Until the end of the game, Lei Jun was still holding Cai Wensheng with his left hand and Xu Qingshan with his right hand, reluctant to let go.
Reminisce about the past with Cai Wensheng, and talk about the future with Xu Qingshan.
After the game, Xu Qingshan finally understood why Lei Jun had such a good reputation both within and outside the industry.
In the entire Internet business world, there is no other founder with a higher emotional intelligence than him.
It’s no wonder that Xiaomi was able to reach a valuation of US$250 million in its early days, creating a miracle in the investment community.
After all, for a team of 14 people who claimed to be making mobile phones and ecology in 2010, others would just think they were crazy.
Most of this 250 million valuation is a bet on Lei Jun.
Investors believe that Lei Jun can bring them greater returns, and they also believe that Lei Jun will be able to steer the ship well.
Left the Seven Star Pangu Hotel and were in the car.
Cai Wensheng glanced at Xu Qingshan and looked out the window.
"What? Are you so optimistic about Lei Jun's project?"
Cai Wensheng was actually a little puzzled.
He himself is indeed optimistic about Lei Jun, especially Lei Jun's people, but if he invests almost all his wealth like Xu Qingshan, he can't do it.
"Of course, isn't this a project recommended by me? No matter who makes me lose money, I won't let me lose money."
Xu Qingshan blinked and said to Cai Wensheng.
Cai Wensheng took it seriously, and he said depressedly.
"You kid, I didn't ask you to invest so much. Lei Jun is really good, but after all, he is making mobile phones. I just said that if it succeeds, even if he only invests 5 million, it will be enough money to spend in a lifetime."
Cai Wensheng said and shook his head.
"Forget it, it's okay. If this investment loses money, Meituan will arrange some shares for you, and you can just come over and be the chief expert."
Xu Qingshan smiled and did not go to prove to Cai Wensheng what potential Lei Jun and Xiaomi would have and what kind of craze they would set off in the domestic mobile phone market. He nodded.
"This is almost all my net worth. I will really have no money by then, but it all depends on you, brother. You are my last harbor."
Xu Qingshan smiled at Cai Wensheng, but Cai Wensheng gently knocked him on the head.
"As long as you are poor, that's fine, just go ahead with peace of mind. Anyway, now I'm going back to Ludao to put down roots and live outside with peace of mind. If that doesn't work, I'll go back to our southern Fujian. There's always someone waiting for you."
Cai Wensheng patted Xu Qingshan's shoulder again, then lay down on the back of the seat, closed his eyes and rested, digesting the information he had exchanged with Lei Jun and the others today.
I have to say.
The ambitions and plans currently demonstrated by Lei Jun's team also exceed Cai Wensheng's imagination.
Coupled with Xu Qingshan's efforts to join, he has begun to consider whether he should also increase his investment. He can still come up with a figure of ten million US dollars.
Xu Qingshan saw that Cai Wensheng looked quite tired, so he didn't bother him anymore, but opened his phone and read the messages.
Neither Jiang Huanxi nor Tong Tong sent any messages.
One of them knew that Xu Qingshan was busy today, and the other was strengthening training with the national team.
Instead, it was Mei Hong who sent the message.
But it's not a very important thing, but a notice and documents about this modeling competition.
Just when Xu Qingshan was about to turn off the screen and rest for a while.
A phone call came in.
【Lin Bin】
Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows. Lei Jun was mainly talking just now. Although Lin Bin looked enthusiastic, he was obviously quite reserved.
But at this time, the dinner party was over, and he suddenly called. Was it a personal wish or was it because he was with Lei Jun?
But without thinking so much, Xu Qingshan still answered the phone.
"Hello? Did you forget to tell me something?"
Xu Qingshan asked softly, he didn't even call Lin Bin.
"It's nothing, it's just that we were mainly talking about strategic matters and forgot about the important things on my side."
Lin Bin's voice was a little embarrassed.
Xu Qingshan glanced at Cai Wensheng who was resting, and then relaxed. "It's okay, Brother Bin, just tell me, I will remember it."
"Okay, that's it. Didn't we prepare the chief engineer? In your words, the position is chief scientist. This is not a random position."
Lin Bin said.
"I had a chat with Lao Lei just now, and the plan is this. If our software and hardware encounter some problems that theoretically need to be solved, we think if there is something you can solve, come and guide us. The company will be responsible for the research cost. and promotion, all the results will be yours, and you will receive a share of the patent rights and a guarantee.”
After a pause, Lin Bin said again.
"If it is some important achievement, it will also be added to your core title. We want to ensure that we can push you to a high enough level, just like the image of Lao Lei."
Xu Qingshan understood.
In fact, it is like what Lu Weibing did to Hongmi later, except that his level of binding may not be as high.
There are pros and cons to tying up with Xiaomi. Xu Qingshan pondered for a moment, but still agreed.
"Okay, no problem."
Xu Qingshan's voice was very calm. Lin Bin and Lei Jun, who was listening to the announcement, looked at each other and felt understanding and more confident.
If Xu Qingshan agreed immediately, they would think more about it.
"Although I am mainly doing research in mathematics and computer fields now, I will also start to do some work in theoretical physics, materials, and microelectronics. When the company grows in size, Brother Bin will also come to Peking University to collaborate on a small research project. room to facilitate these tasks.”
"Okay!"
What Lei Jun and Lin Bin want, in addition to Xu Qingshan's abilities, is naturally Peking University's resources.
At this time, it is a pity why Xu Qingshan is not from Huaqing.
But they didn't know that Xu Qingshan and Hua Qing were also very close.
Just like the visit to Liangxi Shangde that Huaqing had been arranging before, it has been putting off because the main team that is going to visit, that is, the research team under Qiu Yong, is currently rushing to conquer a temporary task. Military horizontal issues.
Ye Xincheng has been quiet for half a year. He just works as a cow horse between the school and the military area every day.
As an undergraduate, if he wanted to engage in technology, he could not be a core player, but Qiu Yong valued him, so the work of communication and basic testing was left to him.
The work of docking and testing is not an easy job. Communicating with people, especially communicating with Party A who does not understand technology, is torture within torture.
What's more, Party A is still the military, and the other party is used to being loud during training. When he saw Ye Xincheng, he almost scared the young man to tears.
However, after half a year of running around, Ye Xincheng has obviously matured a lot, and he has become a bit darker.
But Ye Qianqian said that Ye Xincheng looked more manly like this.
But he almost turned the young man into a fool.
Xu Qingshan has already made up his mind.
If I now take over the position of Xiaomi's chief scientist in the future, I won't let Xiaomi be criticized for not having real breakthroughs and high-end products, and be complained about assembling machines all day long.
Sooner or later, my own laboratory will be completed.
Originally, he was still thinking about how he would need to operate in the future to get enough funds to invest in the experimental base at Longjiang Building.
But now Xiaomi seems to have helped him solve some of the problems in advance.
In Europe and the United States, many giant companies provide funds for scientists to solve and develop upper-level problems for the problems encountered in corporate production.
Enterprises produce, scientists solve problems, produce papers and patents, share profits from patents, and promote innovative production. This complete industry-research cycle is the basis for the healthy development of many giant enterprises and top laboratories.
If the company is relatively strong and has the right to speak, and it is a wholly-owned investment, then the laboratory may have to add the prefix of the company.
If the leader of the laboratory is well-known and has a high status, he will stand in the scientific research circle as an independent laboratory and can receive capital injections from many giant companies.
Think of this.
Xu Qingshan sent a message to Ye Xincheng.
Then he and Wang Chuan sent Cai Wensheng to the hotel to rest, and he told Wang Chuan that Cai Wensheng would mainly be entertained by him while he was in the capital.
He himself is going to Huaqing.
Ye Xincheng never replied.
Although Xu Qingshan has not been to Huaqing for a long time, arriving in Huaqing is still like returning to his own home.
Because Qiu Yong gave him a student card with high authority.
He can even come in and out of Qiu Yong's laboratory at will. Of course, if Qiu Yong dares to give, he is not afraid of Xu Qingshan messing around. After all, there will be records of operations in and out.
Wearing a down jacket, Xu Qingshan was not recognized by anyone in Huaqing.
After all, not everyone is in the mood to stand in front of a stranger in the middle of winter to see what he or she looks like.
Ye Xincheng didn't answer the phone.
Xu Qingshan didn't go anywhere else and went straight to Qiu Yong's laboratory.
Sure enough, as soon as he took off his clothes and entered the laboratory, he saw Ye Xincheng, among the students in the laboratory, operating the Zeta potentiometer alone in front of the machine.
The other students didn't even glance at Xu Qingshan.
Standing next to Ye Xincheng and observing him for a moment, he found that the boy had been staring at the potentiometer motionless, as if he was in a trance.
"Hello."
Xu Qingshan looked at him for a while to make sure that he was not thinking about anything, but simply in a daze, and then reached out and patted Ye Xincheng.
"Ah?!"
"Bang!"
Ye Xincheng, who was in a daze, was suddenly awakened by Xu Qingshan. He didn't react. When he turned around and saw Xu Qingshan beside him, he immediately turned over.
It made a loud noise when it hit the chair next to it.
The senior brothers in the laboratory raised their eyes and looked at the Zeta potentiometer. After confirming that the equipment was fine, they lowered their heads and continued to work on the experiments in their hands.
It's not that they don't care about Ye Xincheng, but everyone knows that as long as there is no problem with the equipment, people generally won't have much problem, except for a fall and a knock.
"What were you thinking about just now? I sent you messages and phone calls but didn't answer them."
Xu Qingshan smiled and helped him up and asked.
"You are so distracted, are you thinking about your Qianqian family?"
Ye Xincheng saw Xu Qingshan with a sad face and did not answer.
Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows.
Did you really get yourself right?
"Are you in a hurry for the experiment now? If not, why don't you go out and find a place to talk?"
Ye Xincheng looked at the instrument, thought for a while, and nodded.
He stepped forward to set it up, and after explaining to a senior brother on the side, he went to the lounge on the side to change clothes and get his things and left the laboratory with Xu Qingshan.
The two brothers walked together in the snow, holding their pockets and saying nothing.
Ye Xincheng led Xu Qingshan to the coffee shop on the Huaqing campus. He took off his coat after entering the room, took two cups of coffee, and sat down before Ye Xincheng vomited his bitterness to Xu Qingshan.
