3. Li Yinan resigned from Niu Dian Science and Technology as a partner of Meihua Angel Venture Capital;
Source: Looking for Chinese maker culture Author: Liu Jingfeng
Today (March 10th) The reporter learned from the Informed Personnel Division that the founder of the former Niu Dian Technology Co., Ltd. CEO Li Yinan recently joined Meihua Angel Ventures and became a partner. He is responsible for its growth fund investment business and has already resigned from the bull. Founder of Electric Technology, CEO, etc., but still retains shares.
Sources said that since Li Yinan was released from prison in early December last year, because Niu Dian Science and Technology intends to prepare for listing in 2018, Li Yinan’s identity is difficult to meet their needs, and he chose to resign from Niu Dian Technology and became a full-time participant in the Meihua Angel Venture Capital. 'He used to be a partner in venture capital in Jinsha River, has a wealth of investment experience, and I am very interested in investment, suitable for investment. 'The person said.
However, the reporter inquired on the website of the National Enterprise Credit Information Disclosure System. Niu Dian is still a man of Li Yinan. Wu Shichun is one of the natural person shareholders of Niu Dian. Informed sources said that Li Yinan has completely resigned from Niu Dian Science and Technology, but holds shares. The proportion has not changed. The relevant business information is still changing.
Mr. Li once joined Huawei in the early years, 25 years as the chief engineer of Huawei, and became his youngest vice president. Afterwards, he took over and found the Harbour Network and was acquired by Huawei. He later joined Baidu as the CTO and joined China Mobile’s 12580 operating company as CEO. , Joined Jinshajiang Venture Partners as a partner. In 2014, he established the Niudian Technology Co., Ltd. to use the best materials and cutting-edge technology to build a China's most cattle electric vehicle.
However, shortly afterwards, he was sentenced to two and a half years for insider trading. On December 2, 2017, Li Yinan was released from prison. Although he was concerned, he was relatively low-key and his work at Niu Dian was not announced.
The following is an article seeking Chinese Maker ID (ID: xjbmaker) when Li Yinan was released from prison in December last year. From this article, he can read the famous entrepreneur who had missed the golden journey for two years.
25-year-old Huawei Chief Engineer
27-year-old Huawei's youngest vice president
In 1970, Li Yinan was born in Changsha, Hunan. His experience before the age of 15 was rarely mentioned by the media.
In 1985, 15-year-old Li Yinan was admitted to the Junior College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (now Huazhong University of Science and Technology).
In 1993, 23-year-old Li Yi graduated from the university and joined Huawei.
Two weeks later, he solved a major technical problem for Huawei, which was a master, and was promoted to a senior engineer (lead engineer).
Two years later, the 25-year-old Li Yi was promoted to the chief engineer. For ordinary people, this age may have only just adapted to the workplace.
In the fourth year of joining Huawei, at the age of 27, he became the youngest vice president of the company. He was even considered by Ren Zhengfei as the outsider. Huawei's No. 3 figure after Sun Yafang was once considered Ren Zhengfei's 'successor'.
Ren Zhengfei is famous for his temper.
A former Huawei executive has written a book that tells a story about Ren Zhengfei.
One evening, I accompanied him to a telecommunication bureau director and ate to 9 o'clock. On the way back I asked him if he would go back to the company or go home. He said back to the company that some officers are preparing for the next day's report outline (the next day There are important leaders who want to go to Huawei.) When he arrives in the conference room, he picks up the manuscripts prepared by several vice presidents. He sees no two lines and throws it on the ground with a bang, 'You guys wrote something,' and then He started to pick up. He took off his shoes, barefooted, walked on the floor, walked and groaned, and spent a full half hour.
This kind of criticism is almost a common practice among Huawei’s early executives. However, with the exception of a young man, Ren Zhengfei not only does not criticize, but also likes to add. In his back, Ren Zhengfei evaluates the young man’. This kid is too powerful and the problem is too deep. If I want to invest personally, I must vote for him. '
This young man is Li Yi.
In the years of Huawei, Li Yinan had two extreme performances: High IQ, very low EQ.
From 1993 to 2000, the research and development team led by Li Yinan was very eye-catching in the fight with international giants. In 7 years, Huawei's market revenue jumped 50-fold from 410 million yuan to more than 20 billion yuan.
However, his EQ was also apparent. A netizen named 'Dai Fai' claimed that he was a subordinate of Li Yinan in Huawei. He described the situation when he first saw Li Yinan: The first time he saw Li Yinan was In the Science and Technology Building (Building 5) in the Central District of the Science Park, I was trying to write a book. I saw one of the skinny male students who was not tall and straight, and no one walked in. I sat down on the chair in front of me and put my feet on the table. At last, grabbed a colleague's kettle and swiftly drank it. So cattle, I did not dare to ignore him, he went straight away. I was shocked: Who is he? Someone answered: You native, he is Li Yinan !
He does not know how to live a harmonious life. He once wrote a report to the company and suggested that senior leaders should be changed every year to avoid formation of factions. He never communicates with other colleagues and communicates with people. He is always vigorous and straightforward. As time went by, senior and senior executives began to fear him.
The initial venture lost the harbor and was taken as a 'warning sign' by Huawei.
This kind of arrogant style of conduct, but also doomed Li Yi Nan how much will be in conflict with colleagues in Huawei.
In 2000, taking advantage of Huawei's opportunity to encourage internal employees to start a business, Li Yinan converted Huawei's equity settlement and dividends to more than 10 million yuan. He went north to Beijing to start his first entrepreneurial road. He founded Hong Kong Networks and became a Huawei enterprise. Senior distributor of web products.
Maybe it was quick proof of oneself. This relationship did not last long. In May 2001, Hong Kong launched its first private label product, and at the same time gave up the only source of profit at that time, no longer represented Huawei's products, and officially broke with Huawei.
Li Yinan’s ability was also brought into full play in this venture: DSLAM was used as a breakthrough product of Gangwan. Afterwards, through independent research and development and acquisition, Harbour had a full range of product lines in just three years. Even industry analysts stated that Before the year of data communication segmentation, Hong Kong was at least half a year ahead of Huawei's.
At the end of 2003, Hong Kong Bay began planning to go public on Nasdaq, and hired Deloitte to perform the audit. The first Boston and Lehman Brothers and other international big investment banks as underwriters.
It was at this time that Li Yinan made a big mistake by acquiring another old Huawei person, Huang Yaoxu, which was founded by Haotian Technology. Haotian Technology's optical transmission equipment business was at that time Huawei’s best-paid, most profitable product. Line. In this case, in 2004, Ren Zhengfei set up a “beating Hong Kong Office” to fight back. For all the harbor operations, Huawei stopped customers at a lower price or sent it in a white manner, causing the port business to decline sharply. Got 'deadfoot'.
In 2006, it was Li Younan’s 36-year-old born. In the June of his birthday, Huawei spent RMB 1.7 billion to secure the dead-end harbor network. The precondition for the acquisition was Li’an, who is the chief of the acquisition. Telecommunications scientist, vice president. Back to the old times, it was different. His office often had a wave of visits to Huawei employees. He became a warning sign for Huawei to defect to start-ups. Because Li Yinan even got Huawei. The title of vice president's, but there is no actual power, more often alone in the office.
Two years later, Lee chose to leave Huawei again. He successively took the position of Baidu CTO, China Mobile’s Infiniti CEO and Jinshajiang Venture Partners.
Established Niu Dian Technology
Due to 7 million 'insider trading' is in the dark
On April 7, 2015, Li Yi made a micro-blog post: 'No matter how many things are disappointed, there is no reason to disappoint the best of times. The original instinct told me it was time to do something that made me feel excited. I would like to devote myself to using the best materials and cutting-edge technologies to build a China's most electric vehicle. After a long time of brewing, I would like to return all the past to zero and start again on my way!
The most cow electric car of this 'Fine Value Bursting Watch' is the Mavericks electric car.
On June 1st, 2015, Children's Day, another 3 days is Li Yinan's 45th birthday. This afternoon, in the large can of Beijing 751D.Park Fashion Design Plaza, Li Yinan wears a blue tooling shirt, blue jeans, and blue. Sneakers, a typical engineer dressed up. The event began, he was riding a cool smart electric car onto the stage.
This event is the launch of the first product of the Mavericks electric. The ride of Li Yi Nan is the first smart electric car N1 designed by his company. He once said that this is his last venture.
At that time, Mavericks electric investors, Jiyuan Capital's founding partner Li Hongyi was also on the scene. Later she told the media that she was starting to worry a bit. After all, Li Yimin has been low-key and rarely publicly debuted. After reading the speech, however, She feels pretty good.
"We gave him courage." Zhang Yibo, deputy general manager of the company's marketing, remembers that Li Yinan was embarrassed to start a speech. Zhang Yibo asked him to stand on the table in the conference room and open a can of beer for him to drink. Practice it once a day. , I have been practicing for two weeks.
Throughout the conference, Li Yinan and N1 became bright spots. It was this car that raised only 72 million yuan in just 15 days.
However, only two days later, the fate changed. On June 3, 2015, at the exit corridor of Shenzhen Bao'an Airport apron, Li Yi-nan, who had just left the plane, was taken away by the police.
According to Caixin.com, the arrests involved in insider trading. The matter originated in mid-April, 2014. The big data monitoring platform of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange discovered abnormal trading in accounts, concentrated in a short period of time, and bought a large number of Huazhong CNC stocks. After a comparative analysis, it was suspicious. The account, the Securities and Futures Commission locked Li Yinan, decided to file an investigation.
At that time, Li Yinan was working as a venture partner at Jinsha River. The indictment shows that he used a brother-in-law and mother’s securities account to buy 6.5.7042 million shares of Huazhong CNC with 11.4855 million yuan. His sister, based on her trust in her investment decision, browsed. After Li Yinan’s securities trading status, he also used his own funds to purchase 5 million copies. In this transaction, Li Yinan made a profit of 4.39 million yuan and his sister earned more than 236 million yuan.
When he was in full warehouse purchase of Huazhong CNC stocks, it was during the sensitive trading period of the company, while Li Xiaotao and Li Yinan, presidents of Huazhong CNC, were both classmates and Huawei colleagues.
The final court set up an insider trading act and sentenced Li Yinan to two years and six months of imprisonment.
In prison, 'every day is bleeding inside'
After Li Yinan's imprisonment, how about Niudian?
In May 2016, Hu Yilin, vice president of Niu Dian Technology, said in an interview with the media that at the time, the company was not faced with 'no Li Yi Nan would be.' Actual strategies and directions can still be communicated with Li through lawyers.
"Caixin" once reported that Li Yinan had applied for bail pending trial several times after he was jailed. He said that 'every day my heart is bleeding.'
Another news, it also seems to corroborate this anxiety of Li Yinan. Just at the same time that Li Yinan was taken away at Shenzhen Airport, Niu Dian Science and Technology just happens to carry out Round A financing. According to public reports, the financing was in 2015. Announced at the end of May. This round of investors includes Jiyuan Capital, IDG Capital, Sequoia Capital China, etc., with an amount of US$41 million.
However, a few days later Li Yinan was imprisoned and some investors suddenly wanted to skip the ticket. 'They had already paid for it, but they wanted to go back after hearing this news. There are investors who are said to have not yet had time to fight. They do not want to fight. '. An investor who did not want to be named said.
However, the development of the Mavericks did not seem to be affected too much by this series of events. In the past two years, the Mavericks released a total of four new electric vehicles. More light intelligence. In March 2016, it also completed a $30 million A+ round of financing led by Fengxiang Xiangrui.
Judging from the current ownership structure of Niu Dian Technology, Li Yi Nan is still the largest shareholder of Niu Dian Science and Technology Co., Ltd., which holds more than 68% of the shares. This means that Li Yi Nan can still control Niu Dian Science and Technology after his release from prison.
Missed travel field 'Golden Age'
Li Yinan’s interest in the travel field began with his venture capital investment in the Jinsha River. After Li Yinan joined the Jinsha River Venture Capital, he focused on early wireless communications and investments in the Internet, software and other areas. Afterwards, he also focused on the field of travel. The electric car was introduced by Huang Mingming. He and Hu Yilin co-founded it.
However, in the travel field, it is the past two years after 2015. Unfortunately, Li Yinan is absent.
Just one month after the first electric product of the Mavericks debuted in July 2015, Car and Home announced the establishment of a new smart electric vehicle. The following year announced the completion of a Series A financing of RMB 780 million; in August this year, the car And the home's pure electric car SEV off the assembly line, life is 100 kilometers, equipped with removable lithium battery pack and household 220V charging interface, equivalent to a four-wheeled version of the 'Maverick electric car'.
In addition to cars and homes, Dribbling and Fast also ushered in the rapid development after the merger. In 2015, 1.43 billion orders were completed, becoming the world’s second-largest online trading platform after Taobao. In 2015, it accounted for the special car for the network. The market is 87%.
As one of the representatives of the sharing economy, shared bicycles have also ushered in an outbreak in the past two years. They have even ended a wave of reshuffles.
In 2015, when the first electric car of the Mavericks was released, Li Yinan once told the media about his hopes for the Mavericks: We not only hope that the Mavericks will become the most important auxiliary vehicle for the mainstream urban population, but also It is seen as an opportunity to change the quality of life and make every trip an unforgettable journey. The target group for Mavericks Electric is young people. They usually have such labels: Creativity, Action, Self-assertion, Interesting , taste, love, brave ... I call them 'urban play coffee'.
It now appears that this 'message' seems to be out of date.
In any case, he is free. Now, he needs to prove himself more than ever.
4. The Android user loyalty in the United States exceeds 86% of iOS by 91%;
According to the micro-messaging news, Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) of the US consumer intelligence research organization released this week’s mobile operating system survey report for US consumers, pointing out that Android users’ loyalty is as high as 91%, and 86% of iOS users are overridden. .
The survey asked whether consumers planning to purchase new phones in the quarter will continue to use the same platform, meaning that 91% of Android users will still choose Android phones, and 86% of iPhone users will choose iPhone.
According to CIRP's years of investigation (below), Android users’ loyalty has surpassed iOS users in mid-2014 and continues to this day. Since the first quarter of 2016, the loyalty of users on both platforms has remained at More than 80%.
According to Mike Levin, co-founder of CIRP, this trend means that when users choose a platform and learn and invest resources, they will stick to it. Apple and Google should also develop products and services for these diehard users.
Another co-founder of CIRP, Josh Lowitz, said that the growing loyalty of Android users and their service availability, as well as user experience and iOS users are increasingly related. In addition, there are countless mobile phones Android users can choose, do not have to Re-learning the operating system can replace your favorite mobile phone.
However, in view of the fact that the number of Android users is far greater than that of iOS users, the number of consumers moving from Android phones to the iPhone is still more than the number of consumers transferred from iPhone to Android phones.

Thank you.
Wan Gang: Your Chinese is really good. It verifies what I said just now. Now that young people communicate, language is not an obstacle, and more is the communication of ideas. It should be said that the development of artificial intelligence has a long history. The State Council and the State Council have always attached great importance to the development in this area. Since the 1980s, artificial intelligence has been a research content of our national science and technology plans. Through years of accumulation and informatization, digitalization, development of software and hardware, The more applied to the economic and social development.
Wan Gang: We have also seen important achievements in many areas. Self-driving cars are on the road. Robots are not only used in manufacturing but also in delivery packages. Our express delivery industry has also been guaranteed. You may be concerned about yesterday's The "Two Highs" report is the construction of our wisdom court. In the report of Dean Zhou Qiang's report, it is very detailed. Artificial intelligence is also playing an important role in this area. We have a number of leading companies emerging. It is in this general trend. Below, the scientific and technical personnel of our country put forward proposals for the preparation of a new generation artificial intelligence plan. This proposal was highly appreciated by General Secretary Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang. Together with many departments, we submitted a new generation of artificial intelligence development plan to the State Council. After deliberation, it has been formally announced. This is a systematic plan for the development of artificial intelligence at the national level. It emphasizes the need to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence and the deep integration of the economy and society, highlights technology leadership, system layout, market leadership, and the principle of open source and openness. .
Wan Gang: Artificial intelligence must penetrate into all fields. The most critical thing is to make the key technologies of artificial intelligence basic research well, and to quickly expand it to all aspects of society, so that everyone can commit themselves to innovation and entrepreneurship. Home, entrepreneurs are able to obtain. So, the first thing we did was to start the construction of an open source platform for artificial intelligence. For example, Baidu is committed to autonomous driving, Ali is dedicated to urban brain intelligent traffic, Tencent is in medical reading, Medical Image data processing, HKUST fly is in speech recognition. There are face recognition techniques in pattern recognition, and it is gradually applied to high-speed railways, stations and airports. These are to make it open and open source, make existing technology, existing Accumulation can play a role in our economy and society, and it can be acquired by all entrepreneurs. However, grasping artificial intelligence still requires a strong foundation. Therefore, we have to do the following:
Wan Gang: Firstly, lay a solid foundation for the development of artificial intelligence. Accelerate the implementation of the key technology system integration research and development of the new generation of artificial intelligence science, so that those research and development achievements can enter the open platform as soon as possible and enhance it once again in open use. Immediate release of artificial intelligence project guidelines and rules to break through the key parts of the basic frontier technology.
Wan Gang: Secondly, speed up the transformation and application of artificial intelligence innovation results. Promote the application of artificial intelligence to the development of our industry, apply to all aspects of our social life, and solve people's concerns about safety issues, health issues, and environmental protection issues. In addition, we must also understand that artificial intelligence has both its scientific and technological advancement and its social development. Therefore, we must strengthen research on policies and regulations and actively respond to the development of artificial intelligence in relation to social ethics, employment structure, and personal privacy. Some challenges in terms of safety, etc. In the major projects of artificial intelligence, we must integrate natural science research and social science research to overcome basic difficulties from the perspective of natural sciences, dispel doubts and doubts in social science research, and be harmonious. Development provides power.
Wan Gang: Third, artificial intelligence is an international trend. It is necessary to strengthen international cooperation, actively support our domestic artificial intelligence companies, cooperate with research institutions and the international community, and play its own role in some important and key areas. Thank you all. . China News Network
