Chapter 322: Forming an alliance with Huawei
In the "Qingyuan City" in Lin'an, not far from the headquarters of Helium, Li Qingyuan took Ren Zhengfei and his party into the "Qingyuan Hotel" under the "Tianchao Jiangnan" real estate company.
"Qingyuan Hotel" is a new chain hotel opened by Zhou Tianchao and Li Yuntao after the opening of "Qingyuan City", this hotel is opened to a five-star standard, and can only reach the four-star standard at present, but its cost performance is five-star.
Li Qingyuan called his daughter-in-law Guan Yeyue to accompany Ren Zhengfei and Meng Wanzhou into the hotel box, in the box of nearly 100 square meters, a large round table that can accommodate 20 people was placed in the center of the box, and cold dishes and drinks were already placed on the round table.
Li Qingyuan let Ren Zhengfei into the first seat, and he and his daughter-in-law were next to him.
Huawei's management, who came with Ren Zhengfei, sat down one by one under Li Qingyuan's greeting, Meng Wanzhou poked his head out from his father's left side, supported his chin with one hand, and joked: "Li Dong, you really know how to save money, and even entertain guests to spend in your own industry." ”
"That's it, this money, it's all saved from between your teeth! Sister Meng, you think, I can save at least half of the money and 50% of the profit by entertaining you here, what business in the world is better than this?"
"When Li Dong said this, I want to go back to Pengcheng to open a hotel, can Li Dong leave me a store in Pengcheng's 'Qingyuan City'!"
"Yo, Sister Meng is eyeing Pengcheng's 'Qingyuan City', okay, you pay the deposit first, and I'll leave you the best position." ”
"Boom!" Meng Wanzhou shook his head, "Pengcheng's 'Qingyuan City' has just begun to lay the foundation, and you will reach out to me to ask for money, as for you!"
"The two companies of Helium Star Group and 'Tianchao Jiangnan' are burdened with nearly 100 billion debts, and this year's interest has overwhelmed me, how can I not want money!" Li Qingyuan said with a shy face.
"Mr. Guan, why are your family so thick-skinned! The combined net worth of the two of you is more than 360 billion, and there are really few people in the world who can be richer than you. ”
Guan Yeyue covered her mouth and smiled, looking forward to it, she looked at the other Huawei management personnel present.
"Net worth is net worth, debts are debts, Sister Meng don't mix them up, if we can't pay back this money, we will go bankrupt!"
"Well, you two are really not a family. Meng Wanzhou said with a defeated look.
"That's right, Sister Meng is right this time, husband and wife work together to break the gold!" Li Qingyuan picked up the wine glass on the wine table, got up and said, "Welcome to Helium Star Technology Group, I toast you!"
After drinking the wine in the glass, Ren Zhengfei, who was sitting back in his seat, pointed to a woman next to Meng Wanzhou and said: "Li Dong, since we have made the overall idea of cooperation in the morning, someone still needs to be responsible for this specific matter, this is He Tingbo, the president of Huawei's 'HiSilicon Semiconductor', and she will communicate with you in the future." ”
Li Qingyuan has always felt that He Tingbo is a little familiar, and being introduced by Ren Zhengfei can be regarded as a complete reminder of this female student in charge of Huawei's laboratory.
"Of course, there is no problem, Mr. He can find Wu Yanjun, the head of our group's chip project, to hand over to Mr. Wu in the future. ”
"In this case, I will leave Wanzhou and Tingbo behind, and the two of them will negotiate the specific matters with you. ”
"The matter of the chip is so decided, is Mr. Ren interested in talking about other cooperation?"
"What does Li Dong mean?" Ren Zhengfei asked with great interest.
Li Qingyuan raised four fingers and gestured, and said, "4G network!"
"Li Dong, you not only have to compete with 'Intel' in terms of IT chips, but also compete with 'Qualcomm' in wireless mobile semiconductor chips?" Ren Zhengfei didn't expect his ambition to be so big, and looked him up and down again, a pair of deep eyes flashing with confidence on his knife-like angular cheeks.
"Nowadays, in the world, for the 3G network market, European countries are fighting with Qualcomm, and the two sides have played a dog brain. Huawei is a supplier of communication equipment, and you should become the formulator, promoter, and leader of industry standards. As long as we cooperate, you can get more high-quality and inexpensive semiconductor chips and get rid of the dependence on Qualcomm chips, and our Helium Star Group also has 4G patents, which can enter the international market in turn, what a promising future!"
Ren Zhengfei pinched his hands and rested them on his chest and thought for a long time, and the eyes of everyone present were focused on him, "The beautiful blueprint drawn by Li Dong is indeed desirable, but the difficulty is not small, maybe Helium Star Group can be a long time with Qualcomm, but Huawei is still a little behind, I am afraid that I will drag Li Dong back your legs." ”
"Temporary difficulties are fearless, and if you don't do it, you will never be able to stand on top of the world, which is not a difficult choice! Besides, don't you already have SFR/STR and SOFDM in Huawei's technical reserves? As long as Mr. Ren promotes these two patent standards, you will be invincible in the core field of 4G in the future. ”
"SFR/STR and SOFDM?" Ren Zhengfei didn't know much about these two patents, and he cast an inquiring look at He Tingbo on the side.
"Mr. Ren is the technology we developed based on LTE long-term evolution technology, and applied for patents in 04 and 05 respectively, but the company did not pay enough attention to these two patents, and only a very small number of researchers in the company carried out extended research on them. ”
"It turns out that what I said is not wrong at all, Li Dong's attention to Huawei even exceeds that of me, just like the two technologies of SFR/STR and SOFDM, I didn't expect Li Dong to know better than me!" Ren Zhengfei grabbed Li Qingyuan's arm with one hand and tightened it tightly.
Li Qingyuan smiled "hehe", "This can only be said that Huawei has applied for too many patents, and Mr. Ren has not paid attention to it." Now that Mr. Ren has paid attention to these two technologies, it is not too late. ”
"No matter what, I have to thank Li Dong for the reminder. Ren Zhengfei raised his glass and toasted him, and continued: "Does Dong Li have any ideas to form a business alliance with Huawei?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Ren, I've been waiting for your words for a long time, it seems that my sincerity has finally moved you!" Li Qingyuan stretched out his big palm sideways and looked at him with a smile.
Looking at his outstretched palm, Ren Zhengfei did not hesitate at all, grabbed and waved vigorously, and said: "Although I don't know why Li Dong values Huawei so much, being able to form an ally with Helium Star Group is the best gift for Huawei's 20th anniversary!"
"Okay, then let's work together to build Huaxia's communication system for Huaxia's letter
Escort safety!"
After the reception, Li Qingyuan took everyone back to the helium headquarters, and in the top office of "Zhanfan", only Li Qingyuan and Ren Zhengfei were left, and how to sign the alliance agreement between the two sides needs to be discussed by both parties, and Guan Yeyue and Meng Wanzhou don't care about how the two company bosses discuss.
"Mr. Ren, although our alliance agreement has not yet been signed, there is one thing I want to give you first. Li Qingyuan stood in front of the glass window and greeted the scorching sun.
"Li Dong might as well say it directly. ”
"Helium Star Group will enter the mobile communications industry, originally in the communication 2G/3G technology patents, I just want to pay some patents, but the arrival of Mr. Ren changed my original intention, Helium Star Group has a large number of 4G patent technology, I think it should be reasonably applied, the future industry standards can not be left to Europe and the United States to have the final say!"
"Wow! Li Dong not only wants to challenge Intel and Qualcomm, but also prepares to tear off the two giants of Nokia and Motorola, are you preparing to be the enemy of the whole world?"
"Breaking the old system and establishing a new system, there are always people coming and going in this world, isn't it very common for people to be replaced? If Chinese enterprises want to gain a firm foothold in the world, someone must stand up and support the scene, you and I stand at this level, and naturally we must carry this banner without hesitation!"
"This banner is still up to you, Brother Li, you should resist! I'm in my sixties, and it's time to retire!"
Li Qingyuan glanced at him sideways with deep eyes, the corners of his mouth went up, and said: "Huawei has just embarked on the track of rapid development, does Mr. Ren think it's time to let go? Or is there anyone in Huawei who can take your place? It's not that I hit Mr. Ren, Huawei is not far from falling apart if you leave you, don't think about retirement in your life!"
"Brother Li, I don't agree with what you say, Huawei implements a rotation system, in addition to preventing the company's phenomenon of standing on the mountain, it can also give full play to the ability of managers, so Huawei will still have a taste to live without me." ”
Li Qingyuan shook his head and took his eyes back from Ren Zhengfei's body, Ren Zhengfei's body reminded him of the later generations of Apple's Jobs, Apple also implements the board of directors system, although it is somewhat different from Huawei, in fact, the essence is the same, but since the death of Jobs, Apple has lost its ability to develop, and can only rely on the technology left by Jobs to eat the old capital, from this point of view a great leader is irreplaceable.
"I won't argue with Mr. Ren about this, you can go and see the development process of Apple when you have time, and you will find some very interesting things from it. ”
"Brother Li refers to the fact that Apple's board of directors kicked Jobs out of Apple several times, and now he is going to be invited back?"
"I can only tell Mr. Ren that although Steve Jobs made many wrong decisions at Apple, there is no substitute for a great leader. Now that Apple has brought Steve Jobs back, I think soon Apple will be back to being the top tech company in the world. ”
"Like Brother Li, what high-tech products are coming out of Apple?"
"Helium Star is working on a product that will amaze the world like Apple, and Mr. Ren will see it shine in the second half of the year. ”
