Chapter 1000: Let's make a smart machine together
"This, Mr. Duan, we also deeply sympathize with your company's situation."
Zhang Ning was a little embarrassed and said ashamedly.
"Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood me, I don't blame you."
Seeing Zhang Ning's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Duan Yongping knew that Zhang Ning had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.
"In normal business competition, we can't complain about others if we lose backgammon. This time, Duan Mou mainly wanted to ask Mr. Zhang Ning to give us some pointers from backgammon. ”
"Mr. Duan is polite, he doesn't dare to give advice, and everyone communicates together."
Duan Yongping's explanation made Zhang Ning breathe a sigh of relief, it would be good if he didn't come to trouble himself.
Although, Zhang Ning is not afraid of such trouble.
But seeing that the mood of domestic enterprises has changed, Zhang Ning also feels very satisfied.
"Although I don't know much about BBK, BBK is also a well-known electronic IT company in China, and the BBK series products produced by it sell well. Of course, it may have been hit by the Penguin Company recently. But I don't think the impact will be big in the near future. Although the Meizu generation is a collection of music, movies, and rereading...... These features, but the price is relatively expensive, and many customer groups will not consider buying our Meizu generation. As long as BBK catches the low-end users, it should not be too much of a problem in the next 3 years. ”
Zhang Ning gave his own suggestions.
"Of course, it's only a short-term strategy. In fact, for your company, with the development of the times, with the development of science and technology. The BBK series products developed by your company have lagged behind the world. Mr. Duan, I say so, don't mind. ”
"Don't mind, don't mind, Mr. Zhang, you go on."
"Admittedly, VCD, repeater, MP3 and the like, as I said just now, in recent years, there is still a certain market. It's just that that's just to say in recent years. The development of global science and technology is too fast, and some of these products are not suitable for the world. Perhaps in the past, we may not have made much effort to develop more innovative and advanced products. However, after several years of continuous development in China. I think all of you here have accumulated a certain amount of strength. My suggestion is that we should take a long-term view, don't always focus on the current domestic market, and look at the world. Perhaps, when will your company's long-term vision bring a surprise to everyone. ”
Originally, it was to give Duan Yongping advice, and as he spoke, Zhang Ning faced everyone present.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean is that we have to focus on competing with global giants."
"Yes."
"This, Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid it's not easy."
Duan Yongping said hesitantly.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, our domestic market has not yet been beaten, let alone abroad."
Others also chimed in.
"Hehe, guys, you're actually too worried."
The expressions of the people present made Zhang Ning a little helpless.
However, now that he is here, Zhang Ning has to reverse their philosophy.
"Although the international giants are very strong, not only technical strength, but also economic strength, they are very strong. However, this is only on the surface, and many times, they are not really strong. People just don't want to compete with them. If you're willing, even if it's just to try to compete with them, I think you'll get a lot out of it. ”
Zhang Ning's explanation was not recognized by the public at the scene, and Duan Yongping also shook his head, "Mr. Zhang, the strength of the global giants is certainly not strong for you penguins. However, for some of us small electronics companies, it is definitely a behemoth, and how can we be qualified to compete with them. ”
"No, Mr. Duan. You must not think like this, if you think like this, then, the domestic electronics enterprises are really finished. What I just said is not based on the strength of our penguins, I am on your side. Although, I know, it's hard and stressful to make such a determination, but you guys can really give it a try. ”
Seeing that everyone didn't seem to agree, Zhang Ning thought about it and said.
"So, let's just talk to everyone."
"Mr. Duan, when did you enter the electronics industry?"
"'91."
Duan Yongping recalled, "It should be 89, and in 89, I entered the electronics industry. However, at that time, I had not started a business and was working as a manager in an electronics factory. ”
"I came in in 89, amazing, Mr. Duan seems to be the oldest one on the scene."
Zhang Ning said with a smile, "So, I think Mr. Duan has a relatively clear study of other electronics industries in China and around the world." ”
"I don't dare to do research, I just have some understanding. Mr. Zhang, what do you want to ask? ”
"What I want to ask is, Mr. Duan entered the electronics industry in 89, so what is the gap between our domestic technology and foreign electronic technology in 89 years at that time."
"20 years."
Almost without thinking, Duan Yongping blurted out, "The gap is at least 20 years." ”
This made Zhang Ning a little strange.
It's been almost 16 years since 89, Duan Yongping's memory is so good, you don't have to think about it, you just know?
Seeing Zhang Ning's question, Duan Yongping said, "Mr. Zhang, that year, I happened to be assigned to a small electronics company as the factory director, and I made a game console, which is the predecessor of the Xiaobawang game machine. At that time, I was relatively young, very motivated, and I hoped to make a big career, and I have a deep impression of that period of time. I remember that in 89, when our factory was just preparing to make game consoles, home game consoles had been developed abroad, that is, in Japan. This kind of home console is almost the equivalent of a computer, and we are very jealous and want to do it. It's a pity that at that time, it was difficult for us to even make a color TV, let alone such a home console. Later, we had to make a low-end red and white machine in Japan. It wasn't until '91 that we launched the first generation of the Overlord console. ”
"It's a little embarrassing to say, though. Although the Xiaobawang game console is selling very well in China, it is an infringing product. He modeled the Nintendo FC game console, and all kinds of technologies and patents belonged to them. ”
Duan Yongping spoke in detail, and Zhang Ning also listened to it with relish.
In the 80s, even Zhang Ning didn't know much about the electronics industry.
Although I have also turned over a lot of information in this regard, most of them are relatively shallow, where is Duan Yongping so detailed.
"Well, I'd like to ask. Mr. Duan, I remember, you seem to have launched the BBK brand in '95. Then, there are backgammon VCDs, backgammon repeaters, and so on. I would like to ask. By the time 95 years come, what do you think is the gap between us and foreign countries? ”
"It should be about 10 years away."
After saying this, Duan Yongping went on to explain, "In 95 years, we have developed well, coupled with the domestic reform and opening up for so many years, people's living standards have been continuously improved, and people are more and more pursuing electronic products." So, these years have been the fastest growing time for us. And with money, we have also improved our technology in all aspects considerably. However, compared with international electronics companies, we still have a gap of about 10 years. For example, VCD, although it seems that we have manufactured a lot of VCD, and the technology is quite mature, many domestic brands of VCD need to pay a lot of money to foreign countries for patented technology. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to make our own VCD. ”
"Alright, one last question. Until now in 2005, Mr. Duan, do you think that there is a big gap between our domestic electronic IT and foreign countries. ”
"The gap should be around five years."
"After entering the new century, the domestic electronics industry has developed rapidly, and many electronic enterprises have emerged, making outstanding contributions to China's electronics industry. A lot of some electronic products, we can directly produce. Whether it is a computer, a mobile phone, or some household appliances, Haier refrigerators even stand at the top of the world. However, in the area of high-end electronic technology, we are still lagging behind the international giants, especially the chip area, we are very far behind, I am afraid not only 5 years, may reach 10 years. But in terms of overall scale, I think that compared with foreign giants, there is only a gap of about 5 years between China's electronics industry and foreign giants. Even, the further we go, the smaller the gap will be. ”
"Mr. Duan, what you said is good, what you said is really good."
Zhang Ning laughed and applauded, "That's right, the further we go, the gap between us and the international giants will only get smaller and smaller." So small, it won't take a few years, and we can even be on an equal footing with these international giants. ”
Zhang Ning said this very loudly.
"In that case, I think, Mr. Duan, you all know that the gap between us and the international electronics giants will only get smaller and smaller. Even, it doesn't take a few years to barely gap. Why not think about it now and take it on them? ”
One sentence shocked everyone at the scene.
Everyone, including Duan Yongping, fell into deep thought.
Why didn't you think of it before?
Unconsciously, decades have passed, and the gap between domestic and foreign countries has become smaller and smaller.
In that case, why don't you dare to compete with them?
Zhang Ning's words woke up many people at the scene.
If it weren't for Zhang Ning, I'm afraid, they would always feel that the gap between China and abroad is like the distance between the earth and the moon.
But when they woke up, they found that the distance was not very far.
There was some heat in everyone's eyes, and they kept thinking in their hearts.
Zhang Ning has a point.
Always staring at the domestic market will only make you less and less competitive. Even if there are some markets, they are still a little market left for you after the international giants have grabbed them.
It's time for a real battle with these international giants.
"Mr. Zhang, you are right, our domestic electronics companies can indeed try to compete with these international giants."
After thinking deeply, at this time, Yang Yuanqing on the side stood up and said to everyone at the scene.
At the same time, Yang Yuanqing also looked at Zhang Ning, and said, "It's just that international giants have been at the forefront of the world for decades, and they have huge advantages in various parts of the electronics industry. ”
"It turned out to be Mr. Yang of Lenovo."
Lenovo's Yang Yuanqing and Zhang Ning know, and Lenovo is also a relatively large electronics giant in China, and has maintained more cooperation with Penguin in recent years.
"Hehe, I think you Lenovo still have this strength."
"Last year, you also bought IBM's personal computer business, which can be described as the face of a big country."
"Mr. Zhang, you are joking, IBM just doesn't want their PC business, and we Lenovo just happen to have this demand, and this acquisition plan is a perfect fit. That's not what I'm talking about, though. Although we Lenovo have some strength in China, there is a certain distance from these international giants. Moreover, in addition to the computer, there are many aspects of Lenovo that are not as good as these companies. Of course, I'm not asking for us to associate one. I think everyone here wants to ask. ”
"Mr. Yang, what you said is also true."
Regarding Yang Yuanqing's question, Zhang Ning did not answer directly.
"The strength of international giants is indeed very strong, even if we penguins, there are many aspects, not necessarily stronger than these international giants. It's normal for everyone to be so worried. However, I think it's good to have such concerns. At least, unlike just now, there is no idea of even competing in a competition. Since I have this idea, I feel that victory is not far from us. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about these big truths, since everyone has changed their concepts, everything is good to say."
"I have a few suggestions for everyone's so-called concerns, which may inspire you to do so."
Zhang Ning took a sip of water and prepared to start the case analysis.
"First of all, small electronics, this product includes repeaters, VCDs, radios, MP3s...... I don't think I need to say that these products will be phased out very quickly in the future. If there are companies that are still making these products, I think you should transform as soon as possible. There are two ways to transform, one is to switch to other electronic products. The other is to launch more innovative upgraded products on the basis of these products.
As for how to upgrade, it's actually simple.
As I said, VCD, radio, MP3 will soon be obsolete. However, this is only about the elimination of products, and his technology will not be eliminated. No matter how many years in the future, everyone will still have the need to listen to music, watch movies, and of course, listen to the radio. As long as there are these needs, then these technologies can still be used. Just like our Meizu generation smartphone, it is neither MP3 nor VCD, but it is a combination of MP3, VCD, and radio...... and so on.
Of course, the meaning of this translation is not to ask everyone to move closer to the direction of smart phones. In the future, there may be more advanced products than smartphones. However, if you are also interested in smartphones, I will not object. I think everyone still has a chance to enter the low-end market. Anyway, everyone says that the Meizu generation is so expensive that they can't afford it.
As he spoke, Zhang Ning also winked at some people he knew.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Those who have ideas dare to be tight, and Penguin rarely takes the initiative to pull others in.
"Wow, with Zhang Ning's words, I'm relieved."
"Yes, as soon as the smartphone came out, I also had this idea. It's just that there have always been some people who don't dare to enter. I'm afraid that Zhang Ning will destroy us. ”
"Haha, then you can put a hundred hearts now, Zhang Ning has already expressed his position."
Everyone present was excited, and whispered left and right from time to time.
However, there were still a few relatively cautious ones who stood up at this time.
"Mr. Zhang, I have a question."
"Please."
"What if a company enters the low-end smartphone market and intentionally imitates Penguin's technology?"
"Khan ......"
Zhang Ning couldn't laugh or cry.
These guys can even ask such questions.
However, since they asked, Zhang Ning was also generous.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to make a statement. As long as the mold defense is not too serious, we at Penguin will not pursue it. However, I hope that everyone will be more innovative. ”
For mold defense, Zhang Ning was more generous.
At least, at the time of the early development of the product, Zhang Ning was willing to accept the initial mold defense.
After all, not just any business can think of so many innovations.
In addition, there is another reason why Zhang Ning doesn't mind them being defended.
That is, the more mannemodels prevent penguins, the more penguins can control the entire market.
Because too many people regard themselves as a weather vane, their every move in the future will inevitably affect the entire industry.
Speaking of which, this is also the reason why Zhang Ning does not mind some foreign electronics companies entering the field of smart phones.
It's not that the penguin can't block it, but Zhang Ning didn't think about blocking it.
With the current situation, as long as you enter, then you must follow the path you have created.
The more people who move this path, the more invincible the penguins will be.
It seems that there are also some use of domestic enterprises to make Penguin Company.
However, this is not a good idea.
Letting them enter the smartphone part did not harm them, but greatly benefited them.
As for whether you want to enter or not, that's your business.
Zhang Ning This is Jiang Taigong fishing, and the willing person takes the bait. Any company can think of so many innovations.
