Chapter 962 The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper
At this time, an inexplicable smile flashed at the corner of Fang Chen's mouth, full of evil taste and fulfilled wishes.
Lenovo and Huawei are two companies that are often pulled out for comparison and even whipped in later generations.
Of course, the one who was whipped must have been the former.
Lenovo and Huawei, there are too many similarities between the two.
There have always been various sayings in the market that Lenovo is bigger, Huawei is stronger, and even North Lenovo, South Huawei and so on.
Both have achieved many amazing things, but each has taken two very different paths.
Because of this, there are naturally two very different endings, no, it should be said that it is the result, after all, these two companies have not yet reached the day when the curtain is completely closed, and they cannot completely cover the coffin.
Of course, Fang Chen doesn't think that Lenovo can surpass Huawei one day, but he can't talk too much, otherwise it will be easy to slap his face.
Lenovo and Huawei are one of the few high-tech private enterprises in China that have been in business since the 80s, and their founders are all scientific researchers.
Liu Chuanzhi is an engineer at the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Ren Zhengfei is the deputy director of the Institute of Architectural Engineering with the post of deputy technical group.
And Lenovo and Huawei, but also two typical lines of enterprise development representatives, Lenovo represents trade, industry and technology, and Huawei represents technology, industry and trade.
Lenovo was the first Chinese private enterprise to enter the world's top 500 enterprises, and Huawei followed closely behind, two years later, becoming the second Chinese private enterprise to enter the world's top 500.
This one after the other seems to represent the success of Lenovo's trade, industry and technology route.
But Lenovo didn't stay the first for long, and it was left behind by Huawei, and even Huawei's taillights couldn't be seen.
In 2018, Lenovo's market value was only more than 35 billion, and it is a well-known junk technology stock, which has fallen by 60% from the peak, and when you query Huawei's financial statements, the market estimates that Huawei's market value is as high as 2.2 trillion, which is more than 700 times different.
In fact, Lenovo is a pity, at the beginning of the business, especially in the past few years, Lenovo has done a lot of scientific and technological innovation, chassis, CPU cooling fan, and even the motherboard are designed and made by Lenovo itself, and it is definitely not like in the previous life, completely dependent on other board manufacturers, and never considered what self-development.
At this time, Lenovo's motherboard is still doing very well.
Kodia Technology Co., Ltd., which is now Lenovo's QDI division, once became one of the world's top five board companies around the millennium, and its VGI cards, with the highest monthly sales of as high as 500,000, are the world's first VGI card manufacturers, and have won the title of the king of VGI in the industry.
But later, as Lenovo threw off the burden and threw the QDI division out of Lenovo and became an independent enterprise, this grand occasion no longer existed.
At this time, although it was not clear why they fell into such a sudden silent scene, everyone did not speak, Ni Guangnan, who had already been impatient, hurriedly said: "Mr. Fang, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if it can be allowed, I want to visit Qingtian Communications, if I can visit the research building of Qingtian Communications, it is naturally the best." ”
Fang Chen froze for a moment, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, why did this fish come up by itself if he didn't take the bait.
"Professor Ni, look at what you said, if you are willing to come to Qingtian Communication to come and guide, I am too late to greet you, how can there be a reason not to allow it, you are a distinguished guest that I can't invite, you have never dealt with me, I don't know what I am like, I have always respected science and technology and scientists. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Chen glanced around, and suddenly felt a little regretful, he should have left Ma Yun behind, otherwise no one would do this embarrassing errand.
If Ma Yun was to say it again, he believed that his words would have a better effect.
Ni Guangnan couldn't help but pause, as if he was a little frightened by Fang Chen's enthusiastic attitude.
He had actually made a plan just now, but Fang Chen refused, after all, this kind of thing is the most important thing in any company, not to mention Qingtian Communication, which is now the top spot of Huaxia Communication Equipment Company, who knows how many secrets are hidden in Qingtian Communication.
Not to mention anything else, at least the new generation of high-speed coding format on the Thunder Dragon pager is breathtaking, and he didn't see the general manager of Motorola's Huaxia region, and his face was already green.
Moreover, he has become accustomed to it, and now some of the rich people in China, to be precise, the rich people, and the nouveau riche are disdainful of science and technology.
These tycoons regard means, backgrounds, and connections as a criterion, and science and technology, and scientists are simply worthless in their eyes.
To put it mildly, he is already a top scientist in China, but in the eyes of those rich people, it is not as good as a slip.
Suddenly met Fang Chen, who was very enthusiastic about him, and his wealth and status were considered top figures in Huaxia, he was really a little uncomfortable for a while.
But soon, Ni Guangnan's face also showed a strong sense of joy, and he said happily: "If domestic entrepreneurs can respect science and technology and scientists like Mr. Fang, it will really be a blessing for society and the country." ”
"Seriously, I only understand now why there are high-tech enterprises like Qingtian in China, which have been working hard in research and development, and insisting on taking the road of scientific and technological innovation, co-authored because there are entrepreneurs like you, I believe that Qingtian will definitely prosper and prosper under your leadership. ”
"It would be nice if domestic entrepreneurs could be like Mr. Fang. Ni Guangnan finally said with a sigh.
This time it was Fang Chen's turn to be stunned, who said that domestic scientists are all nerds, Ni Guangnan's words just now, his face was red when he praised him.
However, just as Fang Chen and Ni Guangnan were praising each other, no one noticed that Liu Chuanzhi's face flashed with a trace of embarrassment and slight embarrassment.
How did he think that Ni Guangnan's words just now actually meant something, and he was praising Fang Chen to wake up and even criticize him.
You must know that what he has done during this time is simply against what Fang Chen has done.
Not only has Ni Guangnan been prevented from establishing new scientific research projects, but he has even cut the funding of many scientific research projects.
After a few words of mutual praise, Fang Chen suddenly remembered something, and said, "Professor Ni, I don't know why you want to visit Qingtian Communications?"
He was immersed in the joy of the fish automatically hooking the bait just now, and he was a little more happy before he woke up, why did Ni Guangnan want to visit Qingtian Communications?
Lenovo is a computer, and there should be no eight poles between it and Qingtian Communication.
"I'm going to make a program-controlled switch in Lenovo, but in the early stage, I can make a small one, such as a thousand door machines, or five hundred door machines. Ni Guangnan explained with a smile.
Ren Zhengfei's face on the side changed slightly, and he was even a little uncomfortable in his heart, he heard a strong confidence from Ni Guangnan's tone, as if the five hundred door machines and the thousand door machines were as simple as finding out the bag for him.
You must know that in order to develop a thousand door machines, Huawei not only pressed the old bottom, but also smashed all the profits accumulated in the past few years, and even the company's payment to the factory needs to wait until the last batch of goods are sold before it can be paid.
He even came forward to borrow a lot of usury from underground banks, and even the old trick of paying half of the salary and keeping half of the company's employees has been used.
It can be said that the research and development of the thousand-door machine is a battle for Huawei, a battle for Huawei to become a first-class communication equipment enterprise in China, and a key battle to catch up with Qingtian Communications.
To put it mildly, if the thousand door machine can't be developed, or if it can't achieve the due benefits, he already has the heart to jump from the upstairs.
He and even the entire Huawei have paid countless prices for the development of a thousand door machines, but in the end, it seemed so easy in Ni Guangnan, how could he be comfortable.
But immediately, Ren Zhengfei sighed lightly in his heart, he still knew Ni Guangnan, and he also knew some of Ni Guangnan's past achievements.
Therefore, I have to admit that Ni Guangnan has the ability and confidence to say this.
Moreover, Lenovo is indeed much bigger than the current Huawei, Lenovo has achieved revenue of more than 100 million yuan several years ago, and Huawei has barely achieved it this year, there is a big gap between the two.
However, the most important thing is that Lenovo is a state-owned enterprise, backed by a big tree like the Institute of Computer Science of the Academy of Sciences, and it is indeed not difficult to make a thousand door machines.
"Lenovo wants to be a program-controlled switch?" Fang Chen paused, he heard it right.
Moreover, is this him flapping the wings of a butterfly again, or is he lonely and unheard, Lenovo is going to make a program-controlled switch, isn't it crazy?
It's just not a good job!
Fang Chen has a sense of déjà vu like Si Chen.
But after a few breaths, Fang Chen's mind flashed, and he remembered that Lenovo really designed and produced process-controlled switches, and at the highest time, he also made a large-scale program-controlled switch with 2,000 quasi-offices, and the name seemed to be Lenovo Tiangong switch.
And in his previous life, when he was still working in the Los Angeles Telecommunications Bureau, he also maintained the Lenovo Tiangong switch for a period of time.
The more he thought about it, the clearer the memory in Fang Chen's mind emerged.
He has completely remembered that Lenovo Tiangong switch is actually a large-scale program-controlled switch pushed by Huawei in 1994 and the same year.
It's just that the fate of Lenovo Tiangong Switch can only be said to be that the heart is higher than the sky, the life is thinner than paper, the body of the young lady, and the life of the maid.
Although Lenovo Tiangong switch did not do a good job, but at that time, it was the era when the field of Huaxia switch was bloody and bloody.
Out of Huawei, the head is iron-clad, and it can be killed from it, and the rest of the large and small communication equipment companies are dead and crippled.
Lenovo Tiangong switches are naturally no exception.
After all, at that time, the dispute between Liu and Ni had broken out, Ni Guangnan was driven out of Lenovo, and Lenovo completely abandoned the research and development of high-tech and turned to the road of trade, industry and technology.
Lenovo Tiangong switch lost a lot of financial support from Lenovo, as well as Ni Guangnan's technical support, and naturally the situation deteriorated, and Wang Erxiao celebrated the New Year - a year is not as good as a year.
Probably in the millennium, Lenovo recognized the attractive profits in the communication equipment market, decided to restart the Lenovo Tiangong project team, and established an independent company for it, Lenovo Tiangong Network.
Although Lenovo Tiangong Network has not dominated the country like Huawei and ZTE and gone to the world, it has a fairly moist life.
Although it can't develop and produce any amazing products, Lenovo Tiangong Network still does a good job in switches, routers, network management software, network security, wireless networks and broadband access for individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises.
So, don't be surprised if you see the Lenovo logo on a communication device that day.
"Fang Dong, is there anything inappropriate?"
Seeing that Fang Chen was suddenly silent after Ni Guangnan mentioned those non-dividing thoughts, Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but look happy, and there were some careful thoughts in his heart.
He said, no matter how generous Fang Chen was, it was impossible to lure the wolf into the room.
Not only did it not hit Lenovo's idea of being a switch, but it even asked Lenovo to go deep into the confidential hinterland of DynaSky Communications to find out.
After all these years of business, he has an extremely deep understanding of the five words that his peers are enemies.
Even to put it mildly, no matter how much Fang Chen attaches importance to scientific and technological innovation and scientists, he must be a businessman in his bones.
This point, from Fang Chen's achievements now, is a good show.
If Fang Chen wasn't, a mercenary businessman, he would definitely not have the great wealth he has now.
However, if Fang Chen really rejected Ni Guangnan, it would be a good thing for him and Lenovo.
Well, that's right, good thing.
The current Lenovo foundation is too thin, and there is really no money to support Ni Guangnan to research what program-controlled switches.
Moreover, even if Ni Guangnan researches the program-controlled switch, what can he do?
Looking at the bloody storm that the domestic switch market is now setting off, it can be said that once Lenovo dares to insert itself into this market, it will definitely be torn to pieces in an instant, or even completely wiped out.
And he believes that the one who finally tore Lenovo to pieces is Qingtian Communication, which is Fangchen.
From his understanding of some of Fang Chen's actions, this Fang Dong, no matter what industry he does, must not only be the absolute first, but also form an absolute dominance over the market and occupy the vast majority of the market share.
At the beginning, there were many small and medium-sized enterprises that imitated Nintendo's red and white machines up and down the country, but since the establishment of Xiaobawang, it has been good.
Now the domestic game console companies have basically disappeared, and occasionally there are one or two small game console workshops that are barely breathing, but they are just peddled in the countryside that Xiaobawang can't radiate.
And most of these small game machine workshops do not have their own products, but imitate the Xiaobawang game console.
The game consoles produced, whether in terms of style or trademark, are almost exactly the same as the Xiaobawang game consoles.
Look, the switch market must be the same.
