Chapter 410: There's a problem with your technical route
No wonder Zheng Bao was suspicious.
It is not surprising that these two people were able to find Ren Zhifei's home.
Ren Zhifei himself is a low-key person, even if he makes a company with sales of hundreds of millions, he still lives like an ordinary person, and his residence is in the market.
Although Huawei has more than 1,000 people, it can only be regarded as a grass platform team at present, and it is not a big enterprise.
There is no shadow of the "Giant China" of later generations, and they have never thought of themselves very highly.
In fact, at this juncture in 1992, Huawei's financial situation was not very good.
Even if it opens up a small piece of the market with a 48-door machine, the competition faced by Huawei is still quite fierce.
There are not only domestic competitors, but also more advanced foreign equipment manufacturers.
Their business is still struggling.
Guan Haiyang and Lu Yushan found Huawei in this state as a family, and there was nothing that could not be overcome.
But Ni Guangnan is different, the chief engineer of Lenovo Group.
Lenovo in 1992 was a difficult opponent for Huawei.
Lenovo Group's business is booming, with sales of nearly 2 billion yuan.
Ni Guangnan is the Taishan Beidou in the scientific research community, how can they be looked up to by these few rangers.
In fact, no matter how powerful Ni Guangnan is, as long as people still sell computer products, it has little to do with Huawei.
But people have already started to make switches!
This is not good news for Huawei!
Among the strong competitors, a master suddenly appeared.
This is like a group of second-rate people fighting for who is the first in the world in martial arts, but suddenly a lonely man seeks defeat.
It's a very uncomfortable battle.
Ren Zhifei and Zheng Baoyong and others have privately studied Lenovo's switch development plan.
The more you research, the more worried you become.
Most of the use scenarios of switches are in the telecommunications sector, or large state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.
In this regard, the starting point of Lenovo, which is backed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is much higher than them.
The two compete for the government's list at the same time, needless to say, Huawei must be abused to the point that there is no scum left.
Moreover, Ni Guangnan has a solid technical foundation, and he is a person who really knows how to do it, and he is not comparable to those guerrillas who made a fortune as an agent.
If he wants to sink his mind to really do this thing, I'm afraid it will be a sweeping situation.
Such a big guy, Guan Haiyang said that he chatted with the other party for an afternoon before coming here, which is a bit mysterious.
Why do people see you, a child who doesn't have any hair?
Guan Haiyang looked at everyone's faces and knew what everyone was thinking.
He didn't explain much, and said with a smile: "It was Tie Zhongqi who introduced me to me." ”
It is helpless to move the name of Tiezhongqi out, but even if this big man is taken out, Zheng Baoyong and others are still full of suspicions.
"Does your family know Tiezhongqi?"
The best explanation they can imagine is that Guan Haiyang's family is also doing business and has a relationship with Tie Zhongqi.
"Sort of!" Guan Haiyang didn't want to go deeper on this topic: "Actually, I talked with Mr. Ni for so long, and it wasn't just because of Boss Tie. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Mr. Ni wants to make a program-controlled switch, but I am not optimistic.
Engaging in scientific research under such a large background group is actually very stressful.
A lot of things are not up to him.
You may think that the switch concept proposed by Mr. Ni is very advanced, and they have enough strength to put it into practice.
But the reality is that they won't go far on this path.
The Liu family will not spend so much energy on research and development, and without the support of the Liu family, Mr. Ni will be struggling. ”
This is the real situation of the development of Lenovo in later generations.
Ni Guangnan wants to develop program-controlled switches, and the Lenovo LEX5000 switches he proposed are much more than Huawei's HjD48 in terms of function.
5,000 line switches, absolutely crushing 48 line switches.
If this product is successfully developed, Huawei will have no products to match it, and it will die without even scum.
But later, this project, which could almost sweep the domestic switch market, was directly cut by the Liu family.
Since then, Huawei has only enjoyed the great country, which has achieved its rapid development momentum.
But at this time, it was said that Ni Guangnan's project had no future, but no one believed it.
Zheng Baoyong shook his head: "Ni is always the chief engineer of Lenovo, and the father and son of the Liu family are just some business acumen.
You have to figure out that Lenovo is a high-tech enterprise, and high-tech enterprises give priority to technology, where is the energy of Mr. Ni that the Liu family and his son can match. ”
Guan Haiyang smiled silently.
This is a typical thinking trap, holding a hammer and seeing everything is a nail.
Zheng Baoyong is engaged in technology, Ren Zhifei is also engaged in technology, in the hearts of a group of technical nerds, technology is of course the martial arts holy fire order.
Whatever marketing is, it has to give way to technology.
The path chosen by the Liu family father and son is actually difficult to evaluate.
Without their firm choice of trade, industry and technology, Lenovo would not have developed so much in a short period of time, and finally completed the great cause of swallowing elephants.
But while choosing this path, they completely abandoned the technical route and exposed their weakness to the butcher's knife of foreign enterprises.
As long as others say they want to kill you, you don't even have a chance to resist.
If you want to say it, you still have to balance.
Whether it is technology, industry and trade or trade and technology, it is not the right path.
The right path is to grasp both hands, just like Huawei in later generations, on the one hand, learn from foreign advanced technology, on the other hand, pay attention to its own research and development, and form the real core combat effectiveness of the enterprise.
"The HjD48 you're making now is selling well, but it's actually lagging behind technically, you know that very well.
The limitation of 48 doors cannot adapt to the needs of today's rapidly developing communications. ”
Li Yinan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was intercepted by Guan Haiyang first: "I know that you are also studying the Thousand Door Machine, but there are some problems with your direction."
If you listen to my advice, you will directly stop the research and development route of air separation machines and go all out to the research and development of digital machines. ”
Switch air separation technology is a mechanical structure, composed of mechanical connectors to form a switching network, this technology is still relatively popular at present, to cope with the current domestic traffic volume is not a big problem.
However, with the rapid development of computer technology and the rapid expansion of the number of telephone users, more advanced digital exchanges are destined to become mainstream.
Originally, Huawei took the route of air transu, which once brought the company into a dangerous situation.
In the most difficult time, Ren Zhifei took out loans everywhere to survive, but ran into walls everywhere, and finally finally borrowed money and took Huawei out of the predicament.
After crawling out of the pit, they quickly transformed into a digital machine, and after several years of hard research and development, they can be regarded as revitalizing this game of chess.
Guan Haiyang put forward the idea of letting them give up air separation technology at this time, in fact, he wanted them to take a little less detour.
The choice of this route is a decision made by several senior Huawei executives after studying it for a long time, and it will not be casually denied.
Xu Wenwei is the main person in charge of the development of Qianmen Machine, and when he heard Guan Haiyang say this, he immediately frowned.
