After talking to Lei Jun and Sun Yafang about the direction of developing mobile phones, Xu Cun briefly told Lei Jun and Sun Yafang about the future development direction of his "expected" mobile phone, and then Xu Cun had breakfast with Lei Jun and Sun Yafang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the process of breakfast, Xu Cun asked Sun Yafang to help him contact Huawei's boss Ren Zhengfei - Xu Cun wanted to take a stake in Huawei.

Actually,

Huawei, the world's largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer and one of the world's top 500 companies, has always been the target of Xu Cun's shareholding, but before that, Xu Cun has not had the opportunity to contact Ren Zhengfei.

Of course, it is really hard to say whether Huawei, without Sun Yafang, a "market killer", can reach the height of the previous life.

But-

Huawei's CEO, Ren Zhengfei, is also a ruthless character -- he can develop the sales agency department of a Hong Kong company that produces user switches (PBXs) into a company with sales of 1.5 billion yuan in eight years.

In addition, in the previous life, there was no chairmanship in Huawei, around 1998, due to Huawei's always low-key style, coupled with its marketing tactics, equity in the early years, In view of Sun Yafang's ability to coordinate externally, Ren Zhengfei suggested that Sun Yafang be the chairman and be responsible for external coordination, and he himself became the president to do internal management, in fact, it was established that Ren Zhengfei was the first leader and Sun Yafang was the second-in-command of the high-level management model, in addition, in the company, Sun Yafang was also responsible for the market, Since then, Sun Yafang can only be seen in many of Huawei's external activities, while Ren Zhengfei, who has never liked social interaction, is more naturally "cowering" behind the scenes.

In other words, in the previous generation of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei was inferior to Sun Yafang in terms of external aspects, but in terms of internal management, such as internal management and strategic research, Ren Zhengfei was the soul of Huawei.

This is a critical period for Huawei's development, which has just started to develop and launch a digital switching solution for rural areas, and is lacking funds to conduct research and expand the market.

Therefore, with Sun Yafang to build a bridge, Xu Cun easily got 35% of Huawei's equity and became Huawei's second largest shareholder.

DreamWorks Electronic Imaging Co., Ltd.

Under the leadership of Ye Zhiming, Xu Cun and Ye Yutian and Ye Yutian gave Xu Cun's three children are inspecting the VCD production plant just built by DreamWorks Electronic Imaging Co., Ltd.

While watching, Ye Zhiming introduced to Xu Cun: "According to your requirements, our plant has the capacity to produce one million VCDs a month, and I have bought all the surrounding land, which can be expanded at any time, so no matter how big the market is, we can cope with it." ”

Xu Cun said: "Big brother, have you registered all the patents I asked you to register?"

In 1992, at the International Radio and Television Technology Exhibition held in the United States, an inconspicuous image decompression technology exhibited by the C-CUBE Company of the United States aroused the interest of Jiang Wanmeng, then general manager of Anhui Hyundai Group. After that, Jiang Wanmeng successively invested $570,000 to successfully apply image decompression technology to audio-visual products in September 1993, and developed a high-quality and inexpensive audio-visual product, that is, VCD, and in December of the same year, he and Chinese-American Sun Yansheng jointly invested $17 million to establish Wanyan Company, each taking a word in the names of Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng as the company name.

It's a pity -

Since Wanyan Company did not apply for a patent, the first batch of VCDs on the market were all bought by domestic and foreign electronics factories to make prototypes, and a large number of VCD manufacturers poured out like a blowout after figuring out the technology.

Jiang Wanmeng's biggest mistake was that he didn't understand patent protection, and later when the reporter asked him about it, his answer was quite frank: "Under the circumstances at that time, I thought that it didn't seem meaningful to apply for a patent, and the key was to let the product occupy the market as soon as possible." ”

It is precisely this difference in thought that Jiang Wanmeng has lost an excellent opportunity to dominate the market, and at the same time, China has lost half of the initiative in the development of this industry.

When the reporter asked Jiang Wanmeng if he regretted it after many years, he just smiled faintly - that smile was a little helpless, a little guilty, and even more with his eternal regret.

Xu Cun is not Jiang Wanmeng, he will not let this kind of oolong incident happen.

Therefore, as soon as the VCD was developed, Xu Cun told Ye Zhiming to obtain the VCD patent as soon as possible.

Honestly-

The technical threshold of VCD is not high, with the support of Xu Cun's abundant funds, DreamWorks Electronic Imaging Co., Ltd. researched VCD more than half a year ahead of Wanyan Company, so that Jiang Wanmeng, who had only raised funds and was ready to do a lot of work, had to give up VCD, which made him feel that it was a very developed audio-visual product.

Actually,

The main purpose of Xu Cun to make VCD is not to make money with VCD, but because of the decline of Hong Kong films in the last century and the shrinking of the film market, one of the big reasons is the invention of VCD, which caused many audiences who should have entered the cinema to choose to rent and buy pirated discs to watch at home, especially in the mainland, various VCD manufacturers played a price war, and finally made the price of VCD fall again and again, and finally quickly popularized, almost every family can afford it, and then no one goes to the cinema to watch movies.

Xu Cun's idea is very simple, that is, to preemptively register patents in advance to prevent VCDs from eventually becoming cabbage on the street, so as to slow down the rapid shrinkage of the film market.

Hearing Xu Cun ask about the patent again, Ye Zhiming said with a wry smile: "You have told me for the fourth time, can I not register, now I have registered patents in all countries and regions where there are patents, and I guarantee that no one can legally produce VCDs except our dream factory...... This time, you came just in time to bring back all those patents, so that you don't have to worry about it. ”

Hearing Ye Zhiming say this, Xu Cun also felt that he had been too cautious - just ask, with his identity and combat record, who would dare not listen to his own words now?

So, Xu Cun changed the topic and said: "Before the VCD is officially released, you ask Yuqing to contact Monica and ask Monica to match you with a team of lawyers...... Whoever dares to pirate our VCD, we will sue him for bankruptcy, and I will never retreat in this matter!"

When he said this, Xu Cun's eyes flashed with cold light - he would never let piracy hurt his empire!
