I love programming this job, I am sure I will do it for a lifetime

In 1969, Lei Jun was born in Xiantao, Hubei Province. His family is ordinary and his parents are ordinary workers. From the small to the big, Lei Jun is a relatively ordinary child, diligent, eager to learn, practical, and quiet

• College life.

When he was 18 years old, Lei Jun followed his friends and entered the computer department of Wuhan University. In the 1980s, getting a good university meant good work and a good future, so Lei Jun also put his studies in the most important position. In only two years, Lei Jun completed four years of university credits. In the 20 years after Wuhan University took the full score of “Assembly Language Programming”, only two people were added. Lei Jun is one of them

Sophomore summer vacation, in August 1989, Lei Jun and a friend formed the Yellow Rose software team and wrote the first commodity software BITLOK 0.99. After the release of YellowRose, it won a lot of praise from the peers, and Lei Jun also began to be famous

At the end of 1989, computer viruses flooded the country, causing great interest in Lei Jun. In order to solve the problem of the virus in the school computer room, he and his classmate Feng Zhihong jointly developed his second commercial software, “Immunity 90.”

“Immunity 90” is priced at 260 yuan. After the listing, it sold dozens of sets in Wuhan. Each of them earned several thousand. According to inflation, it is equivalent to 100,000. The software also won the first prize of Hubei University students’ scientific and technological achievements. At that time, the influence was huge. The Hubei Provincial Public Security Bureau also specially asked Lei Jun to talk about anti-virus technology

• Entering Jinshan.

In 1991, Lei Jun met the most important person in his life – Qiu Bojun. At that time, Qiu Bojun was only twenty-six and seventeen years old. He worked in Jinshan and just transferred from Shenzhen to Zhuhai. It was when he was hungry for thirst, and Lei’s university deeds made him already famous in the industry

At the beginning of 1992, Lei Jun joined Jinshan and began his own programmer career

From 22 to 38 years old, Lei Jun has worked in Jinshan for 16 years. From a small programmer to a chairman, Lei Jun has become the second business card in addition to Qiu Bojun

• Step up.

I love programming this job, I am sure I will do it for a lifetime

Lei Jun is very passionate about programming. He once thought that he would be a programmer for a lifetime, but things were not satisfactory

In 1998, Jinshan developed rapidly and the staff expanded, and encountered many management challenges

But Jinshan was in the middle of the program at the time, and did not care about the company. Later, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun wanted to find a CEO to help, and then found a few people to talk, but talents can not be met, it is not easy to find the right person. How to do it? Asked Bo Jun to say that Lei Jun, you come to control it. Lei Jun said, this way, I will do it first. I will be the general manager first. If you find better than me, we can change people

• Hard disk formatting, the CEO.

After Lei Jun served as CEO of Jinshan, his father called him and said that he was a general manager and I was worried. Said the general manager, it looks very glamorous, in fact, it will not, I don’t understand, just like Wanjin Oil, it is still technically reliable. After the father finished speaking, Lei Jun’s mood was very heavy, but he promised to ask Bo Jun as the general manager. What should he do?

So Lei Jun was the general manager during the day and worked overtime as a programmer at night. It took several months. At that time, Lei Jun was still thinking, may I still be able to work as a general manager while still working as a programmer?

“When I was doing such a dream, an unexpected thing happened. One person pushed me. Since then, Jinshan has lost a good programmer and has a little CEO.”

What happened? Jinshan came to a new employee, named Liu Guangming. He accidentally formatted Lei Jun’s computer, and even the backup hard disk was formatted. He broke the back road of Lei Jun and embarked on the CEO’s “no return”

• Retreat behind the scenes and re-start your business.

In 2007, after Lei Jun led Jinshan to complete the listing work in Hong Kong, he began to gradually retreat behind the scenes. On December 20, 2007, Lei Jun resigned as the CEO of Jinshan

Lei Jun, who is nearly 40 years old, can be said to have retired, but Lei Jun, who resigned after Jinshan CEO, has another plan for his future

In 2009, Li Wanqiang, who has been working in Jinshan for nearly ten years, wants to change places. Lei Jun asked what he wanted to do after he resigned. Li Wanqiang said that he was going to open a studio. Lei Jun was happy when he heard it: “Don’t swear, let’s make a mobile phone with your brother.”

Li Wanqiang still doesn’t believe that a code can do a good job of mobile phone, so Lei Jun launched a fierce offensive, please take a meal at the empty pocket, from 1 noon, until 2 o’clock in the morning, Li Wanqiang finally agreed to join Xiaomi. Later, Li also joked: Not being convinced by Lei Jun, but my physical strength has been overdrawn

Lei Jun relied on his diligence, persistence, and true feelings to find entrepreneurial partners such as Lin Bin, Liu De, and Li Wanqiang. After the team is established, it will be officially opened
