Looking at the process of Lei Jun founding Xiaomi, I suddenly noticed a detail that was quite amusing. Before founding Xiaomi, Lei Jun had actually already earned 4 billion by leading Kingsoft Group to go public, and then investing in companies like UC and Xunlei. When he started Xiaomi, he initially went to negotiate with the mobile phone supply chain, but being in a different industry is like being on another planet; others didn't even know who Lei Jun was. They only thought he was a rookie from some knockoff factory, lacking strength and unwilling to cooperate. However, Lei Jun adhered to the principle of treating others with integrity and winning them over with virtue. He didn’t mention his past successes and wealth, but continuously lowered his status to discuss ideals with small suppliers in Huaqiangbei, attempting to establish a cooperative relationship. Until one day, Lei Jun successfully negotiated with Sharp, the world’s number one screen supplier. Industry insiders often talk about how, during the time of the earthquake and nuclear leak in Japan, Lei Jun rushed to Japan and ultimately moved Sharp to agree to cooperate. But this is all wishful thinking; the real reason for the success of this negotiation was that when Lei Jun went to negotiate, he no longer talked about sincerity or ideals. Instead, he brought his wealth proof and the balance proof from Xiaomi's account, ultimately securing Sharp. It seems that Lei Jun understood human nature. After returning to China, whenever he talked to the supply chain, he brought along his proof of savings, and then he smoothly secured all the suppliers for the first generation Xiaomi phone. So you see this world, when we are wealthy, others advise us to be low-key, not to show off, not to be arrogant. So we repeatedly hide our advantages and endure the malice of the world. In fact, sometimes this world is just so mundane; it can save you time and energy to the maximum extent and greatly improve your efficiency in getting things done. To put it simply, when it comes to money, just say it directly, and everyone will be better off.
