Millet company within 5 years is not listed? Jobs also said Apple would not do iPad ...-Lei, millet 5 jobs-IT information

May 2015, the millet CEO Lei said in an interview that "a good business needs about 10 years time, millet 5 years not listed". This isn't the first time this Lei, 2014 at the Internet World Congress, Lei said something similar.

When do you believe? Small series really believed.

Millet why don't worry about listing? There are many reasons why:

Great millet ambition, to be a great company, listed will disrupt its footsteps . Once listed, greedy investors millet continued to use results to prove yourself, look at some big companies rolling wildly after the listed users know!

Listing is not a goal, is only a means, in the final analysis, low-cost financing. Millet continued to complete high finance, the latest round of financing at the end of 2014, $ 1.1 billion, valued at as much as $ 45 billion. Forbes in 2014 the millet also named "top private technology companies" (Huawei certainly this disdain). Millet is not bad money is temporarily not needed to list the money.

Millet patent issue has not been resolved, and this is one of the overseas listing of Tiger.

The lack of a good story, smart phone is certainly not the story, "mobile Internet" right? MIUI user has over 100 million, millet Mall is the third-largest e-commerce platform in China, however, if only the user does not have the killer Internet business, this story is not to move investors, listed do not meet the millet employees and investors now expect.

A year later, Lei 180 ° turn, said in an interview in the two meetings:

Not listed is because there is no stability. Because of investors and employees, millet exclusion not IPO. Prior to this, millet imitating Ali established an internal employee options trading system to motivate employees without listing.

That is, Lei listed gaping hole! So big deal, must be considered rather than head out for the time being. According to the Editor's experience, when bosses, intentionally or not to disclose this information to the public in General, often says it is already in preparation.

Why should change its attitude seeks IPO? The answer is simple: the millet needed money .

If there is a next round of funding came in, millet is available through the exit returns for existing investors if internal options trading system is established, millet employees can transfer options are rewarded. The problem is that millet now money is not difficult, millet expected valuation of money may not be easy. Small series of checks, valuation said millet for $ 60 billion last year to seek another round of financing, up to now no reaction, perhaps is not settled.

Millet is powerful enough, but needs more money for territorial expansion, and build a moat.

China's mobile phone market is saturated, extending the millet needed more money in overseas markets, especially patents and the like need to spend big bucks;

French Internet ecological story, video content, Internet financial services, needed a lot of money;

New industry investment needs more money, cars, VR, robotics, these new business investments, requires a lot of money;

Strengthening technological research and development requires a lot of money, millet was low compared to investment in research and development.

Contrast, millet is put into real money in the past year a little something.

Huawei has its own mobile phone chips;

Invest heavily in sports trumps content, also in investment vehicles;

BAT play in the O2O and mobile payment subsidy war, Meizu into Ali's arms shot a lot more ... These are burning money;

Millet 2014 years took out a $ 1 billion hit was big, chain input is not small, but these were not enough, millet ammunition has some tight.

BAT and heavy investment in raising a lot of money because after the Huawei is not listed, but don't forget to have communications equipment that only healthy cash cow. Millet may also continue to finance, but only listed are the ultimate way to get ammunition. First half of 2014-2015 capital environment very well, storm technologies listed can be turned over dozens of times, but the shares are now trying to withdraw, listing is not a good time is hard to say.

Lei change attitudes, break doesn't come in before 2020 commitment expressed understanding of the small series, does not consider the situation can't be natural entrepreneurs, relative to the company's survival and development is concerned, nothing about the entrepreneur's personal promise?

In technology circles, bosses tell lies are the norm, not talked about journey out of big brother, here are some classic "Heaven":

Steve Jobs: we don't do Tablet PC

In 2003, the digital event "All Things Digital Conference" with tech bloggers on woertemosiboge talk says:

We do not have plans to produce a tablet. Now it seems that people need to use the keyboard. We do not consider keyboard tablet computers will fail.

In 2010, the iPad launch.

Zhou hongyi: we don't do anti-virus software

In 2007, Zhou hongyi said at internal staff meetings, qihoo won't do anti-virus software, the added security guards just antivirus.

In July 2008, launched qihoo antivirus service, commitment, always free, now become the absolute leader of the market.

Jobs: 7-inch Tablet won't

In 2010, Steve Jobs says:

7-inch tablet will be the product of a State in the middle (on behalf of the Google Nexus 7): its size is too large, it is difficult to compete with smartphones but its size is too small, it is difficult to compete with the iPad.

In 2012, Apple introduced the iPad mini. Jobs in 2011, die, but this product is Steve jobs before starting project.

Lei: we don't do low end mobile phones

In 2012, Lei said on Twitter:

Twitter a few days ago with low pass millet to 899 Yuan in many rice asked me, I reply to the uniform is as follows: this is a rumor. Millet focuses on high performance enthusiast with higher performance mobile phones, conscientious enough high-end phones, without regard to the low-end configuration.

End of July 2013, the launch price 799 red rice, millet now occupy a considerable proportion in the overall sales.

Liu: Jing dong doesn't come in before 2015

Liu has said doesn't come in before 2013, 2015 years ago, later changed to not listed.

2014 on new year's Eve, Jingdong blatantly to the IPO Prospectus, many reporters from writing reunion back in front of the computer.

Yu: UC will never be acquired

In 2013, Yu said

UC will never be bought. You won't hear in the future who acquired UC, UC who bought.

June 2014, Ali announced full integration of UC, Yu in Ali's strategic decision-making committees. In order to show that he did not break his word, UC special external stress: this is not Ali's acquisition of UC, but a full merger.

Luo Yonghao: Hammer phone less than 2500, I am your grandson

In 2013, the hammer before the phone was released, Luo Yonghao says:

1, if less than 2500, I am your grandson. Dare 2, this is not a problem, is to ensure the basic premise of sales, minimum quality requirements can be tolerated where a gear problem.

In October 2014, Luo Yonghao mobile announced the hammer price from 1980 onwards, far less than 2500 Yuan, Luo Yonghao the opposition derided as the "Hao".

Science and technology bosses promise not to be too much, it is difficult to end. The Internet's greatest charm is that it records the past and present, for words, digging graves face into a very easy thing .

Barons, who don't have to care, and more, without fear of being the face, acknowledge a commitment, thus affecting business. This or that, plans always catch changes as Luo Yonghao said: as a business owner, rational or irrational by onlookers to "face", is the work.

Of course, if you really fear the face, don't make it too died in a, such as Lei who said " If there are no accidents, millet in 5 years will not be listed, but in the end the right to interpret all ".

小米公司5年内不上市？乔布斯还说苹果不会做iPad… - 雷军,小米5,乔布斯 - IT资讯

2015年5月，小米CEO雷军在接受采访时表示，“一个好的企业需要10年左右时间发展，小米5年内不上市”。这不是雷军第一次阐述这一点，2014年在世界互联网大会期间，雷军说过类似的话。

当时你信了吗？小编还真信了。

小米为什么不急着上市？有许多理由：

小米野心巨大，要做一个伟大的公司，上市会打乱其脚步。一旦上市，贪婪的投资人就会要小米不断用财报来证明自己，看看一些大公司在上市后疯狂地碾压用户就知道了！

上市不是目的，只是手段，说到底是低成本的融资方式。小米不断完成巨额融资，最近一轮融资在2014年底，11亿美元，估值高达450亿美元。福布斯在2014年还将小米评为“最富有的私人科技公司”（华为肯定对此不屑）。不差钱的小米暂时还不需要去上市圈钱。

小米专利问题还没有解决，这是去海外上市的拦路虎之一。

缺乏一个好故事，智能手机这个故事肯定是不行了，“移动互联网公司”可以吗？MIUI用户都过1亿了，小米商城是中国第三大电商平台，不过，如果只有用户没有杀手级互联网业务，这个故事打动不了投资人，现在上市不符合小米员工和投资人预期。

一年之后，雷军态度180°大转弯，在两会上接受采访时表示：

一直未上市是因为业务没有稳定。因为有投资人和员工，小米不排斥IPO。在此之前，小米会模仿阿里建立内部员工期权交易系统，以在不上市的前提下激励员工。

就是说，雷军开了上市的口子！这么大的事儿，肯定是深思熟虑而不是一时头脑发热说出来的。根据小编的经验来看，一般大佬有意无意透露这些信息给公众时，往往表示其已经在筹备之中。

为什么要转变态度谋求IPO呢？答案很简单：小米需要钱。

如果有下一轮融资进来，小米现有投资人是可以通过退出得到回报的；如果建立了内部期权交易系统，小米员工也是可以通过转让期权得到回报的。问题在于，小米当下拿钱不难，以小米期望的估值拿钱或许并不容易。小编查了一下，去年就有消息称小米以600亿美元估值去寻求下一轮融资，到现在都没有下文，或许是没谈妥。

小米已经足够强大，但需要更多的钱进行领土扩张，并构建护城河。

中国手机市场饱和，扩展海外市场小米需要更多钱，尤其是专利之类的需要花大价钱；

落地互联网生态故事，做影视内容、做互联网金融这些业务，需要大钱；

新兴产业投资需要更多的钱，汽车、VR、机器人，这些新业务投资，需要大量的钱；

加强技术研发需要大量的钱，小米研发投入相比低了一些。

对比可知，小米在过去一年多投入的真金白银少了一些。

华为有自己的手机芯片；

乐视大量投资体育等王牌内容，还在投资汽车；

BAT在O2O和移动支付上大打补贴大战，魅族进入阿里怀抱子弹多了不少…这些都是在烧钱；

小米2014年拿出了10亿美元砸内容算是大手笔，生态链投入也不小，但是这些并不够，小米的弹药已有些吃紧。

BAT和乐视们能大力投入，正是因为上市之后募集了大量的资金，华为虽未上市，但别忘了它有通信设备这只茁壮的现金牛。小米或许还会继续融资，但只有上市才是获取弹药的终极之道。2014-2015年上半年，资本环境挺好，暴风科技上市都可以翻个几十倍，但现在各大中概股都在想法撤回，上市是不是好时机就难说了。

雷军转变态度，打破2020年前不上市的承诺，小编是表示理解的，不会审时度势自然成不了企业家，相对于企业的生存和发展大计而言，企业家个人食言又算得了什么呢？

在科技圈，大佬讲大话已经是常态了，没有讲过大话的大佬不多了，这里是一些经典的“大话”：

乔布斯：我们不会做平板电脑

2003年，在数码盛会“All Things Digital conference”上与科技博客人沃尔特莫斯伯格交谈，说到：

我们没有计划生产平板电脑。现在看起来人们需要用键盘。我们认为无键盘的平板电脑会失败。

2010年，iPad面世。

周鸿祎：我们不会做杀毒软件

2007年，周鸿祎在内部员工大会上表示，奇虎不会做杀毒软件，安全卫士只是杀毒软件的补充。

2008年7月，奇虎推出杀毒服务，承诺永久免费，现在成为市场绝对老大。

乔布斯：7英寸平板没戏

2010年，乔布斯表示：

7英寸的平板电脑将是一种处在中间状态的产品（代表为Google Nexus 7）：其尺寸过大，难以与智能手机展开竞争；但同时其尺寸又过小，难以与iPad展开竞争。

2012年，苹果推出iPad mini。乔布斯于2011年离世，但这款产品应该是乔布斯生前启动的项目。

雷军：我们不做中低端手机

2012年，雷军在微博表示:

前几天微博中传小米要出899元的低配版，很多米粉问我，我就统一答复如下：这是谣传。小米专注在高性能高性价比的发烧级手机，认认真真把高端手机做好就够了，不考虑中低端的配置。

2013年7月底，售价799的红米推出，现在小米整体销量中占据相当比例。

刘强东：京东2015年前不上市

刘强东曾说过2013年前不上市，后又改为在2015年前不上市。

2014年除夕夜，京东悍然提交IPO招股书，让许多记者从团年饭中回到电脑前写稿。

俞永福：UC绝不会被收购

2013年，俞永福公开表示：

UC绝不会被收购。未来不会听到UC被谁收购，而是UC收购了谁。

2014年6月，阿里宣布正式全面合并UC，俞永福进入阿里战略决策委员会。为了表明自己没有食言，UC特别对外强调：这次并不是阿里收购UC，而是全面合并。

罗永浩：锤子手机低于2500，我是你孙子

2013年锤子手机发布前，罗永浩表示：

1、如果低于2500，我是你孙子。2、这不是敢不敢的问题，是在保证基本销售数量的前提下，对品质的要求最低可以容忍到哪一个档位的问题。

2014年10月，罗永浩宣布锤子手机降价至1980起，远低于2500元，罗永浩被其反对派嘲讽为“公孙浩”。

科技圈大佬食言不要太多，难以穷尽。互联网最大的魅力就是，它记录着过去和现在，对于食言行为，挖坟打脸变成一件很容易的事情。

大佬们对于食言，大可不必放在心上，更无须害怕被打脸而硬撑着某项承诺，进而影响业务。此一时、彼一时，计划总是赶不上变化，正如罗永浩所说：作为企业负责人，被围观群众有理或无理地“打脸”，是份内工作。

当然，如果真怕被打脸，不要把话说的太死就好了，比如雷军当年大可这样说“如无意外，小米在5年内不会上市，但最终解释权归本人所有”。
