At the end, after Xu Zhijun came back to his senses, he stopped talking, and finally couldn't help but say: "It's too shocking, I seriously doubt that Mr. Luo, you have mind reading skills, or I don't know how to get my company's high-level secrets from any other means." ”

Xu Zhijun knows very well that if this situation is denied outright, it is meaningless, and you may not believe it if you deny others, it is impossible for a person like Luo Sheng to change his own judgment by the outside world's words, so it is better to admit it directly.

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing, and said calmly: "Mr. Xu, you can observe my Cote d'Azur in secret, but I can't observe some things in Huawei in secret?" It's just that I thought about it a little more and guessed. ”

Guess?

Hearing his previous words, Xu Zhijun would not believe it when he was killed, but thought that he was modest and couldn't stop sighing.

He now finally understands why the other party was able to rise at lightning speed in the Internet Realm, before he thought that Luo Sheng might be lucky, plus he had some strength, and a mouth comparable to Mr. Ma.

Sure enough, it is only after understanding that he realized it profoundly, no wonder those investors would be so willing to give him a lot of money, and they could tolerate the harsh equity conditions he proposed.

After such a short exchange, the importance of Luo Sheng and the Cote d'Azur company in his mind has soared.

After a while, Xu Zhijun once again confessed that even if he didn't admit it, he would rather not say it than tell a lie, because a person with such insight wanted to hide it from him.

"In fact, we personally, many of us have paid too much for people, just for an ideal, and this ideal is to stand at the highest point in the world. To tell the truth, an incident that happened last year made everyone unable to hold back, and made us determined to strive for the first place in the world, of course, we shouted this kind of slogan internally, but in the past, this kind of slogan was always not allowed to be shouted internally. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhijun looked at Luo Sheng again, and continued to tell the things of Hua Wei that year without reservation.

"That is, since 2003, we have put forward the hypothesis [of extreme survival] internally, and at that time we had a strong premonition that we would meet the United States at the top of the mountain, and we were exhausted from reaching the top, and the other party did wait at the top of the mountain for a long time, and at that time we were also very hesitant, hesitant to change our faces, put on a cowboy hat and continue to work."

"So last year we were going to sell the ploughshare to Motorola for $10 billion, and the two sides talked for a long time, and by the beginning of this year, it had been negotiated, and at that time we had initialed the contract, and all the formalities had been completed, just waiting for the approval of the Motorola board of directors, and even our negotiators had already bought flower clothes, and raced on the beach, running, big balls, waiting for approval."

As a result, Motorola suddenly changed its leadership in the process, and Edward Jander parachuted in to become the new CEO, a short-sighted person who deliberately pushed the price to $7.5 billion, which we certainly couldn't accept, so we couldn't complete the merger. At that time, our idea was to wear an old brand of cowboy hat all over the world, but this idea never came to fruition. ”

"At the beginning of this year, we voted again internally on whether to sell or not. Not for sale! The young faction unanimously said that they would not sell, and they were not affected by this bird's anger, so they decided to prepare for a confrontation with their opponents at the top of the mountain, and to prepare for a series of problems for us and our opponents to meet at the top of the mountain. ”

Qin Weimu, who was sitting next to Luo Sheng, listened attentively, and Xu Zhijun recounted these finished events with emotion, touching and at the same time, there was a kind of passionate surging, burning as if he was reading hot-blooded comics when he was a child.

Luo Sheng was not so emotional, because it was nothing new to him.

Some people, on the surface, are less than twenty years old, but in fact, they don't drink Meng Po soup, and they still throw their wombs into the past, intercept other people's Hu, go their own way, and rob other people's roads, so that others have no way out.

At the end, Xu Zhijun said with a smile: "I thought that Huawei might be a lone wolf, so I could only move forward silently and alone, but I didn't expect to meet another young wolf by chance in the middle of the road." A lone wolf, often with rivals; A pack of wolves is hard to have an opponent. Mr. Luo, what do you think? ”

Xu Zhijun's words are almost equivalent to elevating the Cote d'Azur to the same status as the ploughshare, which is enough to show his sincerity and attention, as well as a kind of mind and foresight.

Judging from the data on the bright side, no matter how you compare, Huawei is already a communications giant with an annual revenue of 31.7 billion yuan, which has gone through 17 years, while the Cote d'Azur company has not been able to open the pot and has been established for less than a year.

That's the mind and the vision.

"The Cote d'Azur company, as can be seen from the equity incentive system, is the worst imitation of my ploughshare. If it can cooperate with Huawei, it can be said that it is a milestone turning point for the Côte d'Azur company. Luo Sheng said modestly with a smile, the other party expressed such great sincerity, he has to be humble no matter what, this is not hypocrisy, modesty is never hypocrisy, and there is no such thing as false modesty, the so-called false modesty is a liar.

Xu Zhijun also raised the other party's hand again and again, and the two sides strongly opened a wave of business blowing each other.

Luo Sheng smiled: "What kind of cooperation method are you going to do?" ”

Xu Zhijun pushed back: "Mr. Luo might as well say it first." ”

Cooperation is the key, this is not a commercial blow, nor can it be hit off at the head of the righteous word.

Huawei is a company with 17 years of ups and downs, has experienced winds and waves including the bursting of the IT bubble, and is an extremely mature communications giant, and Luo Sheng is also a young wolf king, not a member of the wolf pack.

However, there is a key point, both sides are people who pay attention to the clear division of interests, and only by clearly dividing the interests can the cooperation be stable and long-term.

Luo Sheng saw him and pushed the question back, thought about it and said in a deep voice: "How many chip companies in the current market are struggling to survive in the shadow of the old chip manufacturer giants?" Whether it is Huawei or my Cote d'Azur, they are all companies that were born without chip genes, and they want to make chip ......"

Xu Zhijun nodded, and when he saw the other party stopping, he couldn't help but answer: "In the eyes of most people, it is tantamount to a fantasy, at the beginning of your company's establishment, the industry unanimously believed that the final result would inevitably be a stone in the sea." ”

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "If you just want to make quick money, then you don't have to spend money on chips, in case of failure, it may drag the entire company into the abyss, but this is only a short-term risk, and what about the long-term risk, when one day the basic components and technologies from the third party are blocked, can it still be played?" ”

Xu Zhijun nodded again and again in agreement.

Luo Sheng said: "As for the issue of cooperation, ten words: complement each other's advantages and disadvantages, and distribute benefits well. ”

Xu Zhijun: "I want to hear about it." ”

Luo Sheng paused, organized his words and regained his arrogant and confident side again, and said: "I don't want to be too modest in terms of technology, we are working on a highly confidential [Azure] plan that will definitely bring revolutionary changes to this world, the most expensive thing on the Cote d'Azur now is not the billions of investment in research and development costs, this is not the most expensive cost, the time cost is the most expensive." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng and Xu Zhijun looked at each other and added: "The cost of time is ultimately reflected in human resources, to put it simply, I am very short of people now, especially excellent technical backbones, [Azure] plans to have a team of 1,200 to 300 engineers, but it is far from enough, at least 3,000 or even 4,000 engineers are needed, and the more talents I have, the better." ”

The Côte d'Azur doesn't have the same depth as Apple's, almost starting from scratch and in a hurry.

It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Sheng is thirsty for talents, there are not enough manpower, many R&D projects are forced to stay on the plan, no one even if the funds are in place, the project still cannot be launched immediately.

Xu Zhijun was stunned for a while, what is that [Azure] plan, what is sacred, a plan actually needs such an exaggerated team of engineers, isn't it just to make a mobile phone product?

Even smartphones don't need such exaggerations, do they?

Of course, the smartphones that Xu Zhijun thinks are definitely those feature phones with plastic keyboards.

Nowadays, this is the smartphone.

Only Luo Sheng can't accept calling a feature machine a smart machine, and there is another person who can't accept it, that is, Qiao Gang Master, at present, all over the world, I'm afraid the two of them can reach a consensus on this issue.
