I Chose the Most Difficult Path
Chapter 616:I Chose the Most Difficult Path
Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountains, it is biased towards the tiger mountain.
This is the evaluation given by Liu Yun when he decided to enter the smartphone industry.
If he has been staying in the comfort of the Internet circle, with the current volume, in the future for a long time, the wealth will be like a snowball, the wealth will be rolling.
Not only from the outside world's confusion and doubt, the industry's decision for Liu Yun is also one of the praises.
If Yo-Yo is just like last year, dragonflies are generally water, just launched a music mobile phone, small play, just a shallow taste, it will not let people talk about it.
At that time, many people think that Yo-Yo willow is always just happy, perhaps only three minutes of heat, did not expect this boy is serious, so high-profile into the smart phone, this is to prepare to do a big job.
Doubt is not only outsiders, but also his girlfriend's parents hold a posture of distrust, thinking that he is not losing money, vow not to stop.
Many deep-rooted ideas exist in the subconscious of many people.
"I chose the most difficult road!" this is Liu Yun holding a mobile phone, facing the reporter's media's long guns, talking, laughing and saying a word.
And this sentence, in the short time he blurted out, was suddenly detonated on the network, which Liu Yun did not expect.
Where is the word that he alone knows?
In his past life, almost in 2016, NBA superstar Kevin Durant, who had been dreaming of drinking Scarlett bathing water, resolutely joined the Golden State Warriors who had just eliminated themselves in the Western Conference Finals 4-3.
This is a regular-season team that wins 73 times.
However, in an interview with the media, the brother said: "You all accused me of fighting the enemy and holding the thighs, you are all wrong, I actually chose the most difficult road."
This sentence suddenly blew up the social network, and it was widely ridiculed and quoted by people in sports circles.
Liu Yun in his previous life is a veteran basketball fan, of course, he knows this paragraph.This meeting, driven by inertia thinking, uttered this sentence openly, and then naturally detonated this time and space, Huaxia's social network.
"At least, all the Internet companies, whether it's the first line or the second line, only yo-yo is in the transformation."We are no longer just focusing on the virtual online world, but on the transition to industry.I want to prove that even in the mobile phone industry, which is known as cutting-edge technology, we can succeed.”
“And I’m going to use the internet for a mobile phone!”This is an unprecedented challenge!”
A reporter asked: "Liu, in the Internet industry, you are the first person to take the lead in eating crabs, then do you think there are people behind the learning?" 」
Liu Yun smiled, "You can be more direct."
The reporter hesitated for a moment and asked, "Many people are curious, in the same ladder Tencent, and Ali, will follow your pace and enter the mobile phone industry."
Liu Yun bowed his head for a moment and took a deep breath and said, “I think it is unlikely, this is an uncharted territory, and it takes a lot of determination to do this.”After all, not everyone is willing to leave a less competitive and relatively comfortable environment.”
"But as a pioneer in the Internet industry, I also welcome peers to enter the industry."
Some of the media present, whispering with their heads down, showed a hint of joy between the eyebrows, and the general of Liu seemed to provide them with news materials.
For example, "Liu Yun despises Ali and Tencent, asserting that they dare not enter the mobile phone industry!"
And "Willow has already finished the war book!"Do you dare to pick up two horses?”
These various titles such as the party will inevitably attract countless netizens to click, and continue to trigger a wave of hot discussion.
Liu Yun understands that the release of the first smartphone must be high-profile and high-profile enough, and he wants to maximize the marketing model, just like the Xiaomi Rebs, who likes to play monkeys in a previous life.
Subsequently, Liu Yun announced the pricing of the first smartphone: according to the configuration of different parts, 1800 and 2000 yuan, the color is divided into black, white, and blue.
He also ridiculed the pricing of the first generation of Android HTC G1.
"Our price is very conscience, to know that the first Android smart phone price between 4000 and 5000, of course, this is from the island of high-tech products, even tea eggs can not afford us, certainly can not afford this price."
On the stage, Liu Yun strolled and said with all his heart, and his words were easily reminiscent of the video from Taiwan variety shows that the video from Taiwan variety shows that was hot on Weibo not long ago.
In fact, since 2008, especially after the Yanjing Olympic Games, many mainlanders have undergone many subtle changes in their mentality in the face of the once-invincible Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
It is no longer the overseas Chinese world.
All kinds of industries there have become more and more dependent on the market of Huaxia mainland.There are too many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who have been arrogant and unstoppable, and now they come to the mainland of China to run the announcement, and they all know how to be low-key.
This imagination is particularly evident in the arrival of the Internet era, especially after the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games and the gradual rise of the mobile Internet era.
But the relatively closed island of Taiwan, do not accept such a deficit imagination, they still stubbornly think that they are still far ahead of the mainland, and then those variety shows, like the grandstanding, the mouth of the guests have a useful place, they carry the iconic Taiwan mouth, mouthless words to say some absurd words, but let those Taiwanese people very useful, happy to it.
It is like the onlookers in the "Emperor's New Dress", under the deception of each other's lies, gradually believe that this is the truth and the truth from the bottom of their hearts.
Liu Yun's cunning place, because he realized that in the early days of the mobile Internet, Android smartphones did not have many competitors, but from Taiwan's HTC.
Since he is the enemy in the market, and there is not much senior background, of course, he will use all means to deal with each other.
So he took advantage of the mood of the islanders, the use of the products in his hands, Weibo will be hot, and then at the product conference, it seems to be deliberately mentioned again.
At the product conference, these reporters heard Liu Yun mention this paragraph, but also smiled, just as a tea after dinner.
If you change to more than ten years ago, the variety show on the other side, in such a public place, said that they can not afford tea eggs, or do not know how to use these high-end electronic products, they will be angry, scold each other's ignorance and prejudice, and now only smile, but not worth mentioning.
But through this conference, Liu Yun inadvertently planted a seed in people's hearts.
First, our price is much more generous than they are, priced at no more than 2000 yuan, but also hint that HTC's smart machine is not worth the price.
Second, HTC is also playing the feelings of domestic brands, but Yo-Yo is more qualified, he hyped this video, but also in the hearts of both sides to leave a gap.
Liu Yun is very clear that his real opponent is never HTC, or even Samsung, but has been ready to enter the mobile phone industry Huawei, as well as this fashion in the dormant state of Rebs, and his hand millet.
“I have to grab more market share as soon as possible, expand my base disk, and get visibility.”
“The real challenge is not today, but tomorrow!”
These points, Liu Yun is aware of.
Of course, he entered the intelligent machine and Taiwan's Hongda Electronics has a very big difference.
Yoyo will not pursue profits too much, and resolutely oppose profiteering, adhere to the user experience and word of mouth, at this point he stole the millet Rebs, trying to keep down profits, squeeze HTC's living space in the mainland, and even one day, counterattack Taiwan.
...
Hangcheng, Ali office building.
Tsai Chongxin, also from Taiwan, stood next to the old horse and looked at the computer screen with a bitter smile.
I remember in the past life, there are also curious netizens, analysis of this guy's resume, and choose the motivation, the result is still a fog, and even can not find a trace.
Why did he choose the old horse, gave up his annual salary of up to 800,000 US dollars in Germany, and resolutely joined Ali, accepted the monthly salary of 500 yuan without complaint, and bowed down and ran around.
Moreover, the two people from the family, education to personality, almost the same, or even the same, it can be said that the two people were not the same person in the same world.
And the old horse when he first heard the news, he was almost happy to jump into the West Lake, because he thought it was fake, and wanted to confirm that he was not dreaming?
This is not normal!
In the old horse led Ali strong rise, famous in the world, there are always many netizens ridiculed: If one day, I can go back to the past, it will be smashed to sell iron, and then bitter and tired behind the old horse, together, and then wait for the rainbow after the storm.
But this is in a premise, you hang up, know the future trend, will choose this path.
But what about Tsai Chongxin?Why did he do that?
The price of his big bet on the old horse is too large, and in the eyes of many outsiders, such an option is likely to be an empty bamboo basket, and then Cai Chongxin bet right, the return is that he also became the top billionaire of tens of billions of dollars.
What did this guy say when he first answered a reporter’s question?
“I found that the old horse’s eyes were still big dreams, talking about great visions, not business models, making money profitable or anything else in the business.This is very rare for an entrepreneur who has failed repeatedly.”
At that time, it was 1999, and Lao Ma was 35 years old, a senior entrepreneur, and had three less successful entrepreneurial experiences.
Then, because of the eyes of the old horse, he talked about the big talk, and joined Ali without hesitation, a even Cai Chongxin himself believes that it is an old entrepreneur who has repeatedly failed.
This is the news he revealed to the outside world, but in the eyes of most people, this is just a one-sided word, and the authenticity is too low.
As for the real secret, no one knows.
So many netizens with open minds, under the influence of countless reborn online articles, came to a conclusion: It is difficult to make this guy from Taiwan also reborn?He knew to go ahead and hold the old horse’s thighs.
When you are most depressed and helpless, there is no hesitation, and help and support behind your back without asking for return, this is the most appropriate investment time.
Even if it is a doubt, even Liu Yun has doubts.
After all, countless keyboard men on the Internet at that time had the idea of going back to the past and running to hold the old horse's thighs, and Cai Chongxin turned these keyboard man's assumptions into reality.
Dreams come to reality...
What surprised Liu Yun was that under his deliberate help, the joke that burned through Weibo even attracted the attention of the old horse.
“Old Tsai!”The old horse dragged his chin suddenly and asked.
“Huh?”Cai Chongxin stared at the Liu Yun on the computer screen, squinting his eyes to show the color of contemplation.
He heard the boss shouting himself, and did not react for a moment.
“Old Tsai!”The old horse turned his head and asked in some puzzles, "Now that it is 2009, are the people in your hometown really so primitive and backward in their thoughts on our continent?"
Can't afford tea eggs, don't know electronic products?
Even if the old horse thinks that Liu Yun's stinking boy must be hyped, then this video is very true.
Cai Chongxin showed a bitter smile and said helplessly: "There are many such people, and these variety shows have caught these weaknesses, and the big words are also to attract the audience and improve the ratings."I myself am very ashamed of such a means.”
He continued, "In my hometown, there are indeed many people confined to a small world, and the frog at the bottom of the well has been too long."
The old horse showed the color of contemplation and asked, "You are a little different from those fellows."However, cross-strait exchanges are so frequent, it is very convenient for Taiwanese to go abroad or come to the mainland.It’s 2009 and there’s that idea, so it should be worse ten years ago.”
Ten years ago, in 1999?
Tsai Chongxin did not understand the boss's meaning for a moment and a half.
The old horse said to himself: "At that time, you ran to Hangzhou to see me and said you would join Ali."I remember that Ali had only a simple website at that time, and there was not even an office.At that time, even if a mainlander, are disgusted with my broken company, you graduated from Yale Taiwan high-quality students, even will take the initiative to join Ali, really let me be overjoyed ah."
The old horse said it was unintentional, but Cai Chongxin touched his forehead and felt sweat beads.
“Yes!”Lao Ma continued to ask, "In 1999, your impression of Taiwan on our mainland should be more backward, even the old society without the Internet?"
Tsai Chongxin hurriedly replied, "I have come to the mainland many times, and I will not be as ignorant as those people."
The old horse thought for a while, did not think much, and replied: "Yes, after you joined Ali, followed me to sleep in the wind and rain, and suffered a lot in the wind and rain."Today's Ali's achievements, I can't stand up to your trust in the beginning."
Cai Chongxin replied with a smile: "Like the Liu always said, I also chose the most difficult road."
