Chapter 644 [New Situation in the Industry]
When he returned home, Luo Sheng informed the housekeeper to tell the matter to continue, and the female employees who had been working in the science and technology complex building for seven or eight years were dismissed according to Luo Sheng's request.
Although they were quite reluctant and wanted to stay and continue to work, after all, Luo Sheng gave them much higher treatment than the salary level of their peers, and they could also gain knowledge.
However, the housekeeper's words have been made very clear, and at the same time, they are quite satisfied with a generous liquidated damages.
The housekeeper of the Science and Technology Complex Building is an elite, Luo Sheng explained these things and quickly understood, and he also knew that An Qingxue was pregnant, because Luo Sheng also explained that he wanted to hire an obstetrician's personal assistant, which is not clear.
The housekeeper was hired by Luo Sheng after the completion of this building, and after so many years, he certainly understands some of the life of the employer, and naturally understands the intention of dismissing these people.
However, the dismissed female domestic employees didn't know the real reason, but felt that most of the scumbag bosses were tired of it and wanted to change to a new taste, and the sumptuous liquidated damages and confidentiality agreements were considered by them to be hush money.
It is indeed a hush money, but this hush money is not the other hush money.
These female employees naturally don't dare to go out and talk nonsense, on the one hand, they have signed a confidentiality agreement, and once they breach the contract, they may go bankrupt, and then they will do it in vain, on the other hand, they know that it is not too easy for the richest man in the world to clean up such a small role as them, and they will naturally keep their mouths shut under the double shock.
However, they did not leave their jobs immediately, and they had to complete the handover of work, and the housekeeper had to hire a new batch of new people to take over their work, otherwise such a large building would not be taken care of.
Luo Sheng doesn't have to worry about these problems himself, just tell him well, and the personal butler will arrange everything properly and properly.
The addition of a little princess to the family did not disrupt Luo Sheng's rhythm of life, nor did it have any impact on his work, there are more than 5 people who know it, the family affairs are quite low-key, outsiders know very little, and even he is still single in the public eye.
This also made many gossip media and melon-eating netizens have more to talk about eating melons, and the question of whether the archbishop has a girlfriend was also hot on the Internet, but this did not affect Luo Sheng's life in essence.
……
On the company's side, Yao Jianhong found someone from Huawei to talk to.
Ploughshare for the board of directors.
At the meeting, Xu Zhijun said: "What do you think of this matter? ”
One of the directors at the meeting said: "I don't know if this is what Luo Sheng means or Yao Jianhong means, but it makes no difference, it is enough to know that this is what the Côte d'Azur board of directors means." ”
Yu Dazui spread his hands and said, "What else can you see?" Ostensibly gives us a choice, but in reality do we have a choice? Not agreeing is tantamount to roasting us on the fire and offending the whole industry. ”
Another director shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It is no accident that the Cote d'Azur has been able to grow to this point in just over ten years. ”
Ren Lao put his palm on the back of his thigh, and said with a smile: "You can't say that, we don't have to be bad guys if we agree, you can consult us in advance is still the first courtesy, if we don't agree, I believe that the Cote d'Azur should be as they said, and we won't engage in the licensing and distribution of this technology." ”
Another director clapped his hands and said, "That's because he knew we would definitely say yes, that's why he did this." ”
Ren Lao said: "Isn't that the end?" In any case, this is conducive to the sustainable development of the whole industry, but he wants to eat the biggest on the Cote d'Azur, which is understandable and is their ability. We have difficulties, we all have difficulties, the Côte d'Azur has to consider their long-term problems, this is their difficulties, we can't let the Cote d'Azur solve the risks and turn a blind eye to the benefit of others, right? The motive is anti-human. ”
Obviously, Ren Lao has seen the strategic intention of the layout of the Cote d'Azur.
Ren Lao continued: "I also admit that human nature is selfish, and there is nothing wrong with selfishness, but there are two levels of selfishness in this, one is to satisfy one's own selfishness by hurting others, the other is to satisfy the selfishness of others, and then by the way to satisfy one's own selfishness. ”
"Although the Criviera is a bit overbearing, it cannot be denied that their proposal itself is fully considering the partners, and Glory has no actual loss, on the contrary, it gives a better future.
After Ren Lao finished speaking, the board of directors was quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at each other and nodded involuntarily.
A director who attended the meeting said with a smile: "The evaluation of the two words of kindness is indeed very pertinent, and how many people can really be honest in the treacherous shopping mall?" Unscrupulous means abound to achieve the goal, all of them are in the legal unruly picking up rotten money to eat, Luo Sheng is indeed kind, at least there is no 'flirting with the legs' of our company, saying that he will not interfere in our company's core business, and he has been waiting for our baseband without self-research and has always been using Qualcomm, and he has not blamed our communication baseband for not giving strength to the progress of the communication baseband after being hit by foreigners, this is kindness. ”
Another director also said: "The relationship between our company and the Cote d'Azur can be described as a gentleman's friendship as light as water, and the Cote d'Azur is worthy of the word gentleman, and we can't be villains." ”
According to the strategic cooperation agreement eleven years ago, Huawei's communication baseband technology has caught up, and the Cote d'Azur will give up Qualcomm's technology at that time, and Luo Sheng has indeed not developed its own communication baseband until now.
Can't you do it?
The Côte d'Azur laboratory has a series of leading technologies in a group, and no one will doubt its R&D strength, which is fulfilling its promise.
And Huawei is indeed stumbling on communication baseband chip technology.
In addition, the server business of Huawei is worth mentioning, this is the edge business, but now it is faintly getting bigger and bigger, and this situation is inseparable from Luo Sheng's support ten years ago.
Although this is also a preparation for Luo Sheng to avoid being constrained by foreigners, in any case, it is profitable.
At the end, Yu Dazui said: "So you agree?" Okay, then I'll give Mr. Yao a call later. ”
There was no point in all the directors, and apparently the matter was settled, and there was not much to talk about.
The next thing is the question of which technology to ask, which will be discussed at another meeting.
Ren Lao finally added: "We have to buy the technology of the Cote d'Azur, but the brand of Honor, including other businesses in the whole company, cannot be influenced by the 'comprador idea', and the research and development that should be invested and how to struggle cannot be less." ”
Everyone nodded again and again, it is better to buy than to buy, it is better to rent than to buy is not the gene of Huawei, nor is it that there is no money for research and development, Huawei is still rich, but it is not as rich as the Cote d'Azur, and the annual R&D investment is also among the best in the world.
Secondly, the technology of the Cote d'Azur is too dependent, and it will inevitably be constrained in the future, which is not the style of Huawei, how do other companies think about other people's affairs, but what should they do, they must adhere to the original self-development policy unswervingly.
……
After learning about Huawei's attitude on the Cote d'Azur, Yao Jianhong was finally able to give an exact reply to his friends.
A week later, several well-known domestic friends and brands sent representatives to the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur to discuss the cooperation of technology licensing and distribution, and well-known manufacturers came, including Samsung, Apple, two international manufacturers.
It is no exaggeration to say that this technology licensing distribution is a major event in the global smartphone industry, but such a big thing has been done very low-key, with little hype and no shock in the industry.
That's because it's not yet time to shake, and how to distribute it is a big problem.
Technology distribution is exclusive, a technology is licensed to a manufacturer, and other third parties cannot get the same technology from the Côte d'Azur, but it does not prevent the third party from cooperating with other companies, or can develop it by itself, which is based on ability.
This matter has been talked about for almost two months,In the end, Honor got the advantage of the camera from the Cote d'Azur,OPPO got the advantage of industrial design、vivo got the advantage of sound、Xiaomi got the advantage of 2K screen、Apple got the technical advantage of the system。
At the same time, all vendors are connected to LiFi technology, not Azure-5 exclusive.
This basically determines the main selling point of the major manufacturers' own products in the future, and the industry as a whole has been raised to a higher level, but the pattern has not changed, everyone has improved, which means that there is no progress.
But the price can be raised, the whole cake of the whole industry must be bigger, of course, only consumers pay the bill, and in return they can also enjoy the technical services that match the price.
As for how to evolve later, it is a matter of ability, but no matter what, it will not threaten the position of the Cote d'Azur as an industry leader, these manufacturers should have the advantage of technology Azure smartphones, and there are no advantages of technology Azure smartphones, such as the "blue core" processor with housekeeping skills, artificial intelligence and the current graphene + OLED flexible screen, these technologies will not be licensed.
Since it is a technology license, it is naturally not a free lunch, friends who use the technology of the Cote d'Azur, the mobile phone they sell, according to the profit after excluding the manufacturing cost of 7.5% to take a commission, which is equal to a mobile phone profit of 100 yuan, the Cote d'Azur only draws 7.5 yuan, which is much more honest than playing "double charge" or pumping according to the retail price of the whole machine.
This industry-wide adjustment is also good news for consumers who cannot afford to buy Azure-5 mobile phones, and can also enjoy better technical services through other brands.
Today's era is an era of continuous segmentation of the industry, all walks of life are further segmenting the demand, taking smart phones as an example, different consumer demand markets are subdivided, some people prefer mobile phones to take more pictures, some people prefer more music, some people prefer more systems, and there are not too many requirements for other functions.
An Azure-5 can bring a full range of high-quality services, of course, the best, but also the most expensive.
In the future, you can choose products according to the selling points of major manufacturers, and let the major manufacturers have their own basic disks, which will definitely have an impact on the performance of Azure mobile phones, but this part of the economic loss has been hedged by the commission of technology licensing, which is a stable "supply" to the Cote d'Azur, which can be said to be drought and flood protection.
Other friends may lose, but the Côte d'Azur is just a change of object to accept the "offering".
What is certain is that in the future, there will definitely be manufacturers who will taste the sweetness of this technological "comprador" and be lazy, which Luo Sheng will not care, and the market behavior will eliminate these manufacturers, and someone will replace them.
