Chapter 314: Meeting
Fang Chen smiled, as a correspondent, he still admired Ren Zhengfei very much.
It's just that in terms of familiarity with them, Ren Zhengfei is a relatively unfamiliar one.
Although Ren Zhengfei and Ma Yun, Xiao Ma Ge, and Wang Jianlin are all big guys, except for a few people like him, who are in the communications industry and have a demand for enterprise management knowledge, so they will read some books about Huawei management, or Ren Zhengfei's autobiography, and they will know more about Ren Zhengfei, and others can say that they know little about Ren Zhengfei.
No way, Ren Zhengfei hardly accepts media interviews, does not appear on TV, and even Huawei's promotional activities rarely appear.
As the founder of Huawei and an iconic figure of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei actually knew almost nothing about the communications industry before.
He graduated from Shancheng Institute of Architecture and Engineering, and has been an engineer since he joined the army, and the engineering corps is mainly responsible for the construction of key national capital construction projects and national defense projects, which is commonly known as infrastructure construction.
And Ren Zhengfei relied on his excellent skills and was soon promoted to the technical deputy regiment level.
Because of his contributions to the construction of the project, he not only won the first prize of the first prize for technological achievements in the whole army, but also participated in the first national scientific conference convened by the state ten years after the chaos, and among the 6,000 scientific research and technical personnel attending the meeting, only 150 scientific research and technical personnel were younger than 35 years old, and Ren Zhengfei was one of them, he was 33 years old that year.
Subsequently, as a national delegate, he attended the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In '83, as the army should consciously obey the guiding ideology of the overall situation of the country's economic construction, the engineering units were disbanded.
With his wife's relationship with his father-in-law, who is the main leader of Tianfu Province, Ren Zhengfei transferred to Nanyou and served as an executive of Nanyou Logistics Service Base.
At this time, Nanyou was the first of the 50 large enterprise groups with the strongest comprehensive strength in Pengcheng.
It is said that Ren Zhengfei's life should have been completed at this time.
However, Ren Zhengfei was keenly aware of the rapid development of the communications industry, so he applied to the board of directors for 1 million, established a digital program-controlled switch research and development group, and entered the communications industry, which was extremely unfamiliar to him.
The project was unsuccessful, and Ren Zhengfei persuaded the board of directors to agree that he would continue to do it for another year, and added another two million to the project.
It's a pity that the project continued to fail, but Ren Zhengfei still felt that the switch was very profitable, so he resigned despite his wife's dissuasion.
In addition, Ren Zhengfei, as the eldest brother in the family, will often help his six younger siblings, and this series of changes led to the breakdown of his marriage with his wife.
So, Ren Zhengfei and his parents, nephews and others crowded into a small room of more than ten square meters, there was no kitchen, and they had to run to the balcony to cook.
"Thank you Guo Gong for your kindness. Fang Chen smiled and patted Guo Ping's shoulder.
"It's okay, in fact, the company still has money, but Mr. Ren is used to it, and now he is starting to engage in his own research and development, so the funds are tight, but it is still okay to apply for a rental house for you. ”
Guo Ping didn't care about why Fang Chen knew about Mr. Ren's private situation at this time, and said anxiously.
"I'm not polite, I really don't need it, and I also believe what you said, and I believe what Mr. Ren said, Huawei will occupy a building by itself, and I also believe that sooner or later you will need a house with a large balcony facing south for money. Fang Chen said sincerely, his eyes flashing with sincerity.
He naturally believed what Guo Ping said, so he didn't talk about the future, only the present.
Generally speaking, the price of switches in Europe and the United States, such as Lucent in the United States, Ericsson in Sweden, Siemens in Germany, and Bell in Belgium, is 300,400 US dollars per line.
NEC and Fujitsu are cheaper, and they are basically about $00 per line.
Because in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's vision of a better socialist life was upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones, and potatoes and roast beef.
And it is precisely because of this special plot that many wealthy Chinese people, whether it is for business needs or for the sake of broadening, this phone must be installed.
Now the initial installation fee of a telephone is 5,000 yuan, and it cannot be installed in time, and it is necessary to add cigarettes and give gifts.
This is actually relatively happy, this is still in the vanguard of economic reform and development, Lingnan, private people can still install phones, like in Luozhou, what private telephones, don't even think about it.
Regardless of the small switches represented by Huawei, or the switches that are assembled and OEM by buying parts from state-owned factories, Fang Chen speculates that one can be sold for at least 20,000 yuan, and the net profit is at least four or five thousand, after all, this is also a high-tech product.
If it is developed by itself like the Xiaobawang game console, the net profit of a switch will be at least 60% or more, which is a proper profiteering.
This is also the reason why Huawei insists on developing it in-house.
As Guo Ping said, if it weren't for its own development, Huawei would actually have a very good life.
At this time, Guo Ping was a little overwhelmed and didn't even know what to say.
How does he think that Fang Chen has more confidence in Huawei than he does.
And he noticed that Fang Chen was talking about you, not us, what did that mean?
Fang Chen saw Huawei's situation and didn't want to apply for Huawei?
Now Guo Ping's brain is really a little messy, and he can't help complaining about Hu Houkun in his heart, just now he gave him a look and asked him to go to Mr. Ren to come over, why have I been looking for so long, and I haven't found Mr. Ren yet.
"Fang Gong, why don't we go have a meal first, don't you want to find Mr. Ren, it's better for Mr. Ren to talk to you about some specific things. In fact, there is nothing to see here, there are a total of six areas, veneer, power supply, total test, preparation of four sections, plus the warehouse and kitchen. ”
Guo Ping's mind was completely confused at this time, and he didn't even know what he was talking about.
However, at this time, a series of greetings suddenly sounded at the gate, "Mr. Ren!
Guo Ping turned his head to see that it was Mr. Ren who came, and he couldn't help but take a long breath, he felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and his legs were weak.
Fang Chen looked at Ren Zhengfei with a smile on his face, who was walking slowly towards him.
At this time, although Ren Zhengfei was much younger than in his previous life, he was almost fifty years old after all, but when he walked, he still walked like a tiger, walking like a fly, which was extremely incommensurate with his wrinkled face.
Fang Chen's mood at this time was a little complicated, to be honest, he was looking forward to meeting the head of the world's largest communication equipment manufacturer.
In addition, he also thought of Hu Houkun on Ren Zhengfei's side, and couldn't help grinning, it turned out that Hu Houkun was playing tricks such as the golden cicada shelling and the Ming Xiu plank road to secretly Chen Cang, saying that he was not accompanying him if he had something to do, and it turned out that he was looking for Ren Zhengfei.
At this time, seeing Fang Chen's terrifyingly young face, Ren Zhengfei quietly said to Hu Houkun on the side: "This is too young, is it, is it really a graduate of BUPT?" And the technology is really so powerful that you and Guo Ping can jointly recommend him to be the deputy leader of the R&D team?"
Hu Houkun said: "I look a little younger, whether I graduated from Beijing Post or not, I'm not sure, after all, I haven't seen his **." But the technology is really an absolute cow, if it weren't for not knowing the details, it would not be impossible for me, the leader of the R&D team, to give it to him. ”
He still admires Fang Chen's technical level very much.
Soon, Ren Zhengfei and Hu Houkun walked in front of Fang Chen, and Hu Houkun introduced: "Mr. Ren, this is Fang Chen, Fang Gong." ”
Ren Zhengfei hurriedly held Fang Chen's hand and shook it vigorously, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Fang Gong, I just heard Houkun say that you have solved a lot of problems for the company, thank you so much." ”
He has already decided, no matter how old Fang Chen is, he will recruit Fang Chen into Huawei, anyway, what he needs is Fang Chen's technology, which has nothing to do with age, and the younger he is, the more it means that Fang Chen is a genius.
Taizong said well, no matter the black cat or white cat, the one who catches the mouse is a good cat, and if he enters Huawei, he is his person, and it doesn't matter if the technology is not as good as Hu Houkun said, if it is really as good as Hu Houkun said, then he will not pick up a treasure.
"Mr. Ren is polite, this time I took the liberty to come, and I hope Mr. Ren will not be surprised. Fang Chen said with a smile.
Ren Zhengfei paused for a moment, feeling that the taste in Fang Chen's words was not quite right, Fang Chen was here to apply, what was not presumptuous?
At this time, Guo Ping preemptively said: "Mr. Ren, let's invite Fang Gong to dinner first, this is not a place to talk about things, you don't even have an office." ”
Then, with Fang Chen on his back, Guo Ping desperately gave Ren Zhengfei a look.
Ren Zhengfei pretended to have a sudden realization, "Indeed, indeed, the company is too chaotic, and there is no place to talk about things, Fang Gong, let's talk while eating." ”
Then he couldn't help but say that he was going to pull Fang Chen down to eat.
Fang Chen looked around, smiled bitterly, and said, this is indeed not a good place to talk about things.
After going downstairs, I saw a Suzuki Swift parked at the door, and there was no doubt that this was Ren Zhengfei's car.
At this time, Ren Zhengfei suddenly noticed Wu Maocai and Huiming.
He just wanted to speak, but Guo Ping forcibly said: "These are two friends of Fang Gong, who also came to the company to apply." ”
Ren Zhengfei's face was instantly full of smiles again, "Let's go and eat together, the car is a little smaller, but everyone can sit down when they are crowded." ”
Wu Maocai grinned with disgust, this car is not as small as the average two, not even four meters, not much bigger than Dafa, plus this car has a head, Dafa has no head, and the space is not as good as Dafa.
If there were six people in this seat, wouldn't it be to squeeze people into meatloaf?
