Chapter 316: Huawei's Investigation
After the two talked about some details, they initialed a cooperation agreement, Gu Xiaofan, as the chief designer, is responsible for the design and publicity rights of the Glory mobile phone, and shares 7% of the company's profits, but in fact, the Glory Company only has 15% of the profits of this OEM mobile phone, and almost half of the benefits have been given to Gu Xiaofan. 【Reading.com】
The other 85% of the profit is Huawei, which provides all the technology and supply chain, which sounds very unfair, but in fact, the investment and risk are borne by Huawei, and the price they pay is much more than that of Honor, and the 15% share that can be given to the design studio is already very high in the industry.
"Xue Gong, let's go together for the afternoon bidding meeting." Gu Xiaofan said with a smile after signing the agreement.
"Attendance? Oh...... Gu Dao, you made a mistake, don't go. Xue Daqing explained:
"This is Huawei's internal bidding meeting, and Huawei headquarters will send different teams to each design company to review the design plan, and then a special person will score it, select the best plan, and then carry out project research and development."
Only then did Gu Xiaofan understand why Xue Daqing still had time to hold a summary meeting this morning......
After eating at noon, the people from the Glory Company came to set up the venue, Gu Xiaofan and Xue Daqing were waiting for him, Gu Xiaofan did not tell Xue Daqing that he had solved the antenna problem and the matter of the MIUI system, he didn't mean to tease Xue Daqing and make him deliberately uneasy, he just wanted to see his reaction to the great sorrow and joy.
Gu Xiaofan asked Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Shishi to wait outside, while he was still Xue Daqing's secretary, and at two o'clock on time, the company ushered in more than a dozen Huawei bidding teams with serious faces.
Xue Daqing hurriedly welcomed them to the conference room, and just wanted to introduce Gu Xiaofan, but the other party had already spoken.
"Okay, Xue Gong, let's not waste time, we still have two more to run in the afternoon, you can just show us the design plan."
The one who spoke was a woman in her thirties with a rich face, Ren Wanzhou, the daughter of Ren Zhengfei, the head of Huawei...... On the contrary, it seems that he is here to deliberately make things difficult.
Xue Daqing hurriedly handed over his various design drawings and documents to Huawei's bidding team.
I saw that those people in Huawei originally looked contemptuous, and they didn't look at each other, but gradually, they all slowly became fascinated, and many people showed surprised eyes.
Xue Daqing saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be happy and nervous, happy that the excellent design of the Honor mobile phone moved the other party, and nervously, they must not find the problem with the antenna signal......
Gu Xiaofan whispered a few words to Ren Wanzhou while watching, Ren Wanzhou's slightly chubby face showed a look of embarrassment, and secretly said in his heart, if he really came to bid, he should be happy to see so many excellent designs, so difficult, it seems that Huawei is not engaged in any bidding.
Huawei will never invest in so many design companies for no reason, is it taking into account this means, and then proposing a project, so that the other party can concentrate on designing mobile phones, and then make it difficult for the other party to operate after not getting the bidding, and then directly use the low price to pocket these small companies?
Gu Xiaofan was guessing, and sure enough, he let Ren Wanzhou say: "The design scheme of your company's Honor mobile phone is not bad...... But there are also a lot of hiccups. ”
This is only a good call? Still have a small problem? Of course, there are a lot of problems with the concept design of this first version......
Gu Xiaofan didn't guess wrong, Ren Wanzhou made this bidding meeting a formality, the purpose was just to make these small design companies die and directly take over Huawei.
In the morning, Ren Wanzhou's gang ran a few companies very smoothly, because the so-called "smart phones" designed by the other party were almost all plagiarized from some designs of iPhone and Nokia, and there was no way to pass the patents, so they could only be sold in China.
Huawei's announcement in this tender is an "international smartphone", and these designs can be easily rejected for this reason.
But now Ren Wanzhou was a little caught off guard, because the design of the Honor mobile phone was very good, and some angles even surpassed the iPhone, and she was secretly frightened at the same time, but she felt that this plan was too risky.
Because according to the plan of Honor mobile phones, the cost of this mobile phone may be more than 2000 yuan, and domestic mobile phones have not yet broken through this threshold.
To put it simply, this is a very good solution, but it is not profitable, or even doomed to lose......
At this time, a Huawei team next to him said: "Director, this mobile phone solution is really good, and it is ......"
Ren Wanzhou glared at him and interrupted him: "It can only be said that it is quite good in the cutscenes, but it is still far from Motorola, Apple, Nokia and other world big names......"
At this time, someone next to him whispered in his ear: "There are some problems with the design of this metal edge fairy, and after holding it, it will affect the signal ......."
Ren Wanzhou was feeling embarrassed, and at this time he heard a "good news", and sighed earnestly:
"Xue Gong, I'm afraid this design won't work."
Xue Daqing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the problem......
"Let's let Huawei's Engineer Hu explain it to you."
said the designer in his fifties with a haughty expression next to him, and said disdainfully: "The design of this mobile phone is indeed very beautiful, double-sided glass, metal frame, but it's a pity...... It's a pity...... It's a very basic mistake."
The tall and thin man next to him asked, "What's the problem?" ”
Hu Gong snorted coldly: "It's too smart, and it actually integrates the mobile phone antenna and bezel together, this unusual design makes the mobile phone more beautiful, but once the user holds the mobile phone tightly, it will lead to a great decline in signal reception quality, and he can't receive a call at all~"
Speaking of this, Hu Gong also glanced at Xue Daqing: "Actually, we Huawei has already designed this design, but this problem has not been solved, and no one in this world can do the design of double-sided glass and metal frame~"
Xue Daqing's face was like ashes when he heard it, and in the end, it was because of his major mistakes.
Huawei's gang is just to make it difficult for these bidding design companies, and they have developed a tacit understanding that finding each other's shortcomings and singing infinitely amplify each other's shortcomings is to destroy each other's self-esteem.
Gu Xiaofan didn't say anything at this time, just observed Xue Daqing, although Huawei and these people have a cooperative relationship with Glory, a small company, but they are always mixed with condescending gifts, which makes Xue Daqing very uncomfortable, but he can't help it.
Xue Daqing did not argue, did not explain, but pleaded with a sincere and groveling performance:
"This is my design mistake, please give me a little time, I will find a way to solve this technical problem......"
At this time, Ren Wanzhou showed a condescending look, she knew that she was already a winner, as long as he said another word, Xue Daqing would kneel on the ground and beg her for mercy.
It's a good design, but so what? You Xue Daqing is just a designer, you can't decide your own fate.
And at this moment, someone suddenly said: "If we can overcome this technical problem, will this standard be passed?" ”
At this time, everyone turned their heads and noticed the young and ordinary male secretary next to Xue Daqing.
Everyone had actually seen him a long time ago, but they didn't take him seriously, until he suddenly came up with this sentence
