Chapter 481: Nokia and Motorola Will Go Bankrupt, Can You Believe It?
"Mr. Ren, the first time we met, I should actually visit you first. ”
Facing Ren Zhengfei, Chen Yu said politely.
"Mr. Chen said with a smile, you are our customer, so I came to visit you first. ”
"Customer, hahaha, yes, yes, Mr. Ren, I am really your Huawei customer. ”
Chen Yu said with a smile.
As an information technology company, Chen Yuke has ordered a lot of Huawei routers.
Of course, this kind of route is not a route used by ordinary households, but a large enterprise route.
"In this case, I have to be willing to ask Mr. Ren, and we can be given a discount for the next batch of purchases. ”
At present, whether it is online games, instant messaging, or web portals, Huanyu Technology consumes a lot of communication equipment. And not just now, as the number of users continues to increase, the investment in this area will be even greater. If you can save a little bit of this, it will be hundreds of millions.
"Definitely. ”
Ren Zhengfei did not refuse: "You are our big customers of Huawei, and you will definitely give Mr. Chen the best price." ”
"Thank you so much. ”
Chen Yu said politely.
Of course, even if Chen Yu doesn't say it, Huawei will give preferential treatment to Huanyu Technology.
The reason why I say this is completely to find a topic and pull in the relationship.
No, the two didn't know each other originally, but because of business contacts, they had a very pleasant conversation for a while.
"Mr. Ren, I heard not long ago that Motorola wants to acquire your company. ”
This incident was widely rumored in the media.
It was only later that he died.
"Yes, as rumored by the outside world, we both signed a letter of intent to acquire, and even I was ready to retire to travel, but unfortunately in the end Motorola didn't like me. ”
Ren Zhengfei sighed: "But it's okay." I used to think about retiring, but now that I think about it, although I am 60 years old, my mind is still clear, and my health is good, and I think I can work for another 10 years. ”
"In another 10 years, maybe you can buy Motorola. ”
"That's an exaggeration, I just hope to make Huawei go further. ”
"It's no exaggeration at all, times are changing very quickly, especially in the area of electronic technology. What used to seem to be a behemoth, if it can't keep up with the times, he may disappear. Just like Motorola now, although he is still strong, he is already a lot behind Nokia. ”
In fact, in the previous life, Motorola and Nokia quickly fell to the bottom after reaching their peak.
A bankruptcy reorganization.
The other Motorola was directly acquired by Lenovo.
Of course, if Chen Yu said it now, no one would believe it.
Because no one would believe that such a big giant could go bankrupt and be acquired by a domestic company.
But that's how technology is evolving.
Ren Zhengfei also nodded.
He knows the most about communication technology.
Originally, the overlord in the mobile phone area was Motorola.
The world's first mobile phone was also produced by Motorola.
The big brother we talked about back then was actually produced by Motorola.
However, Motorola's glory is in the era of 1G communication technology.
After the advent of 2G communication technology, Nokia has become the hegemon of the times.
However, despite this, Motorola is inferior to Nokia in the 2G era, but after all, there is still a heritage.
For the time being, he still looks strong and is still a world leader.
"Motorola may indeed not be able to compete with Nokia, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and they are still very strong in mobile communications. ”
Although Ren Zhengfei is not happy with Motorola, Ren Zhengfei is also an extremely rational person.
It's just that Chen Yu didn't agree with what Ren Zhengfei said.
"Mr. Ren, in the field of communication electronics, I don't agree with the idea that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In fact, whether it is communication or electronic business, if he is not accepted by the public, then he is very likely to die. The birth of 1G has made Motorola a hegemon. The advent of 2G technology has allowed Nokia to catch up. What about after 3G......"
Take the history of mobile phones around the world.
If I really want to say, it's not that so-and-so mobile phone has changed the world.
It's that so-and-so communication standards have changed the world.
Of course, a great mobile phone can also promote the popularization of communication standards.
"3G. ”
Ren Zhengfei is indeed working on the issue of 3G.
At present, the 3G standard has appeared.
Although it has not yet started in China, 3G licenses have been issued abroad.
However, 3G is still a new thing for the world, and the influence of 3G on the world is not as profound as the emergence of 1G and the emergence of 2G communication standards.
Generally, many people believe that 3G is just faster for 2G, that is, information spreads faster.
But he didn't change qualitatively.
At least 3G is not as influential as 1G and 2G.
After all, after the advent of 1G, he gave birth to mobile phones.
After the advent of 2G, he made mobile phones into thousands of homes.
What about after the advent of 3G?
After the advent of 3G, it seems that not much has changed for the world.
At most, there are a few relatively high-end mobile phones, and that's it.
This is not just what ordinary people think, this is also the consensus of many people in the industry.
"3G hasn't changed much in our lives at the moment, and we've been thinking about it all the time. It may take time, after all, everyone's understanding of 3G is not particularly deep at present. Mr. Chen, what do you think 3G will bring us?"
"I think Nokia and Motorola are expected to go bankrupt after 3G. ”
"Nokia and Motorola going bankrupt?"
Ren Zhengfei was dumbfounded.
It was the first time he had heard such madness.
You know, one of the hegemons in the field of world communications is Nokia, and the other is Motorola.
But Chen Yu went so far as to say that they were going bankrupt in the 3G era.
Is this possible?
"I think so, and I believe it won't take many years, maybe 10 years. ”
Of course, Chen Yu will not say what the future of the two companies will be.
You must know that the bankruptcy of these two companies in the previous life was the achievement of another generation of giants - Apple.
"Of course, these are all off-topic. But although it is a digression, it has a great impact on us. If we don't have our own standards, we are at the mercy of others. Mr. Ren, what do you think?"
That's why Mr. Chen has an open source chip plan. ”
Ren Zhengfei stared at Chen Yu with great interest.
"Mr. Ren is wise. ”
Chen Yu said with a smile.
"It's not my insight, but Mr. Chen, everyone knows what is going on with your chip open source plan. ”
"yes, I'm just going to let everybody know. Otherwise, where can you attract other companies to work together? ”
"Mr. Chen, I wonder if there are other companies involved in your company's chip open source project?"
"Our plan is open source, and the collaboration is open and open. If there is a collaborator, we will announce it to the outside world as soon as possible. ”
That is, for the time being, only Huanyu Technology is doing it. ”
"No, there's another one that's interested. ”
"Oh, which one?"
"Huawei. ”
At this time, it was Chen Yu's turn to stare at Ren Zhengfei with great meaning.
