Chapter 268: Recognize Your Position

After meeting with Zhou Xiao, Yu Jiangdong returned to Shenzhen on the same day and reported to the board of directors in person.

Warwick's mobile phone business has reached its most dangerous moment, and the pressure on Mr. Yu's side has made the rest of the board feel the same way.

But empathy is empathy, and everyone can't help without chips, they are all in a hurry.

The next day, Huawei held a board meeting to discuss the news proposed by Yu Jiangdong and the source code technology company under the origin group to jointly establish Xingrui Technology Co., Ltd. to jointly make mobile phones.

When Yu Jiangdong reported to the plan, the source code technology company accounted for 51%, and Huawei only 49%, which also caused a lot of controversy.

"Huawei has never suffered a loss in such cooperation, the future establishment of a mobile phone company, from production to sales, almost all by Huawei is paying, the origin group is just giving a battery. The singularity system is now open to the public, we can use it in Warwick, and Xiaomi can also use it, which is not a preferential treatment! We do not accept this share. ”

The directors spoke one after another.

"I can't accept it either, my opinion is not to talk about any joint ventures, not to talk about any equity! We spend money to buy batteries and settle according to the number of batteries, which is the most scientific and the most beneficial to both parties! ”

The director's speech was relatively tough, which made Yu Jiangdong smile bitterly.

Yu Jiangdong hurriedly said: "The purpose of establishing a joint venture with the source code company is to let Huawei have the sole right to use the battery, if we give money according to the number of batteries, then the origin group can sell this battery to Xiaomi and other mobile phone companies, not just to Warwick." ”

In order to be able to reach this cooperation, Yu Jiangdong can be regarded as bitter, he said: "Our mobile phone industry has no advantages compared with Xiaomi, blue factory and green factory. Although we can design chips, we can't produce chips, and now the chips are out of stock, and the mobile phone industry is going to go down. ”

Yu Jiangdong's heartfelt words also made many directors listen to them.

But the directors still hold one principle.

"The equity thing is too low, and this is absolutely unfair to the labor we have paid. We don't want to sit on the ground and pay back, we want 70 percent or 80 percent of the shares, but 49 percent, we will never be able to receive it. ”

"That's right! Since Mr. Yu just said some special circumstances, then 50% is our bottom line. This matter needs to be discussed with the Origin Group. ”

Yu Jiangdong said: "Although our shares are a little less, the future mobile phone will retain the Ping brand of Huawei and be sold under the brand of Huawei." ”

Director:

"They are lucky to use the brand of Warwick, Warwick has been working on mobile phones for so many years and has a strong influence, which should be our advantage in negotiation! How did it turn into a compromise for us? ”

"I still support Mr. Yu's suggestion, it doesn't matter how much equity matters, the most important thing now is to make Warwick's mobile phone brand recover again, we need to find a good way to survive before producing powerful chips, and cooperation with the origin group is the only way, and the best way."

The directors were gossiping, some were for and some were against, and generally speaking, there were more opposition.

The reason for the opposition is also the question of the amount of equity.

They believe that Yu Jiangdong has made too many compromises and concessions, and Huawei will definitely pay more than the Origin Group in the future.

Since Warwick has paid more than the Origin Group, why has it received less?

Looking at the noisy board of directors, Yu Jiangdong only had a bitter smile in addition to a bitter smile.

Compared with the young and energetic Origin Group, Warwick seems more cautious and less courageous.

From the perspective of the company, these directors are actually right.

But they have been listening to the reports of their subordinates in the office, and have not gone out to have a look, and some of them have not understood the specific situation of Warwick's mobile phone business like Yu Jiangdong.

Yu Jiangdong only said loudly: "Quiet, please be quiet, please be quiet." ”

The directors were quiet.

Yu Jiangdong said: "Please allow me to use the big screen. ”

After getting permission, Yu Jiangdong turned on the big screen, which displayed a full-screen microbial battery ultra-thin mobile phone designed by the Origin Group.

Yu Jiangdong said: "What I want to say now may make everyone unhappy, but what I am talking about is the dilemma that our mobile phone business is facing now, and it is why I want to propose cooperation with Origin Group." ”

"You can see the phone on the big screen, which was not designed by Warwick, but by the Origin Group. Full screen, under-display fingerprint, and camera. These are all these things, you might say, on the market right now. ”

"But on the back side, it's the new technology of the Origin Group, the microbial battery. Able to rely on a little rice, the latter is edible organic matter can run a week of microbial batteries. ”

Pretty!

This is the first thought of many directors when they see their phones!

Why pretty!

Because of minimalism and thinness!

Why has Pingguo mobile phone been complained about, but there have always been many people who buy it, and appearance accounts for a large part.

Warwick's mobile phone will give people a thick, mature feeling, but Pingguo's mobile phone must give people the feeling of being young.

Warwick knew this truth a long time ago, so it sacrificed the performance of the mobile phone to launch the thin and fashionable NOVA series, and determined good results.

Yu Jiangdong said: "The performance of mobile phones is a hard requirement for most enthusiasts, and for more users, as long as the mobile phone can be used, appearance is what they value more." ”

"I want everyone to be clear that this phone on the big screen was designed by the Origin Group. If the origin group is willing, they can cooperate with Xiaomi, install high-barrel chips and Sanxing's memory in it, and they can also cooperate with the blue factory and the green factory to find hot stars to advertise. ”

Yu Jiangdong hit the nail on the head and said: "Now it's not the Origin Group that is begging us to cooperate, it's us who are asking the Origin Group to cooperate." ”

"With the loss of Origin, there may be a better partner. But we have lost the Origin Group, and we may completely lose the mobile phone market in the next few years, and I hope you can understand that. ”

"49% equity, not the bottom line, but our ceiling, if everyone for the so-called corporate honor or corporate dignity, you can vote to veto this proposal, Warwick's mobile phone business can also be dissolved."

Yu Jiangdong said very seriously: "Now, I propose to the board of directors for a vote. ”
