As Cheetah Mobile chairman, Lei at the meeting to do the "smart home lead the future" speech. What did Lei say in Taipei? Let's take a look.
A dream without ridicule is not a dream.
(Although the topic is commonplace, it seems to be a good opening.)
After watching "The fire of Silicon Valley", lei a few sleepless nights, inspiring to be a great person. 37-Year-old retired from Jinshan Lei, 40-year-old one day from the dream awakened, think of the dream of that year, founded Millet.

Two tips for Taiwanese entrepreneurs
Embracing mobile internet
In the mobile internet age, entrepreneurs are facing global markets, as long as they write a piece of code to develop an application, upload it to the app Store or Google play, and users around the world can see it. Two years ago, cheetah Cleanup Master only 3-4 developers, only 20,000 users a day, one months and only about 100,000 users, and now Cheetah Cleanup Master's monthly active users have reached 340 million active users.
Don't complain that the Taiwanese market is too small, and on the mobile internet, your world is the world. Many companies in mainland China are taking this route, and Cheetah movement is one of them. Taiwan has a higher degree of internationalization and an advantage.
In the early days, it is particularly important to encourage more venture capitalists to support them.
Now Taiwan still needs a few successful people, to be able to succeed in the case to drive the entire Taiwan entrepreneurial market.
Smart home should be the direction of Taiwan's entrepreneurship
Last year, Google 3.2 billion dollars to buy Nest, smart home continued heating. Smart home for millet, the abnormal key. Cell phone as the center, connect all equipment, is the strategy of millet.
Personal devices, work equipment, home appliances will be intelligent, will be connected to the phone, the wave has begun. There are already a number of start-ups in the mainland doing pioneering work in this area. Taiwan has industrial Foundation, software and hardware engineers, smart home should be the direction of entrepreneurship in Taiwan.
Last year, Millet invested in the mainland in a hand ring company (Hua mi). Although there are a lot of people doing bracelet, but the bracelet also has pain points, such as power consumption, we hope to do 90 days without charging. Finally made 60 days without charging millet bracelet, but also can support unlock mobile phones, small payments. In 2014, Hua Mi has sold 1 million hand rings, and sales are likely to be tens of millions in the next few months. The company was valued at more than 300 million dollars in 2014, because the company is likely to be the world's first in the hand ring category and to connect more services. There are dozens of such cases on the mainland. We haven't seen Taiwan doing this yet. Taiwan's smart home, entrepreneurial pace of slow.
During the meeting, I also spoke briefly with the Taiwanese journalist in the Media gallery. Lei's influence in Taiwan, like the valuation of millet, has soared, and many Taiwanese media are interested in millet and lei.
