Global monopoly of technology

In the end, after Xu Zhijun came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but say: “Too shocked, I seriously doubt whether you have mind-reading skills, or don’t know what other way you got me. The company’s top secrets."

Xu Zhijun knows very well that it is meaningless to deny this kind of situation, 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 a few words from the outside world. It is better to be straightforward. recognition.

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing, and calmly said: "Mr. Xu, you can observe my Azure Coast in secret, and I can't observe some things about Huawei in secret? It's just that I think a bit more and just guess."

Guess?

After hearing what he said before, Xu Zhijun wouldn't believe it when he was killed. Instead, he thought he was humble and sighed.

He now finally understands why the opponent is able to rise at lightning speed in the Internet world. Before, he thought Luo Sheng might be lucky, plus a bit of strength, and a mouth that was comparable to President Ma or even worse.

Sure enough, it is only after the experience that they have a deep understanding. No wonder those investors are so willing to give him a lot of money and can tolerate the harsh equity conditions he put forward.

After such a brief exchange, the importance of Luo Sheng and the Blue Coast Company in his mind has been soaring.

After a while, Xu Zhijun once again confessed that even if he did not speak frankly, he would rather not tell a lie, because a person with such an insight would deceive himself if he wanted to hide him.

"In fact, we personally, a lot of wah gave too much for others, just for an ideal, this ideal is to stand on the highest point in the world. To be honest, one thing that happened last year made everyone unable to hold back, let us We have made up our minds to fight for the first place in the world. Of course, we chanted this slogan internally, but before this slogan was always forbidden to us even internally."

Having said that, Xu Zhijun looked at Luo Sheng again, and continued to unreservedly tell the things about Huawei that year.

"That is to say, since 2003, we put forward the hypothesis of [extreme survival] internally. At that time, we had a strong hunch that we would meet the United States at the top of the mountain. We were exhausted from the summit, and the other party did nurture the spirit. Ji Rui waited for a long time on the top of the mountain. At that time, we were also very hesitant. We were hesitant to change our heads and put on a cowboy hat and continue to work."

"So last year, we planned to sell Huwei to Motorola for US$10 billion. The two sides have negotiated for a long time, and we have negotiated at the beginning of this year. At that time, our contract was initialed and all the procedures were completed. We just waited for the approval of Motorola’s board of directors. , Even our negotiators have bought flowered clothes, raced on the beach and played big balls, waiting for approval."

"As a result, Motorola suddenly changed coaches during this process, and Edward Zander came down to become the new CEO. This person was short-sighted and deliberately pushed the price to 7.5 billion US dollars. We definitely couldn't accept it. Therefore, we failed to complete the merger. , Our idea was to wear a cowboy hat of the old American brand to play all over the world. This idea was never realized."

"At the beginning of this year, we once again voted internally whether to sell or not? Not to sell! The young group agreed not to sell, and they were not affected by this bird's air, so they decided to be ready to confront their opponents at the top of the mountain, and make all preparations. A series of problems we met with our opponents at the top of the mountain."

Qin Weimu, who was sitting next to Luo Sheng, was fascinated. Xu Zhijun narrated these things with great emotion, touching and surging with blood, and the burning feeling was like reading a bloody comic when he was a child.

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

Some people, on the surface, they don’t even drink Mengpo soup when they’re under twenty years old. They cast their fetuses in the past, cut off other people’s Hus, go their own way and rob others of their way, leaving others nowhere. Can go.

At the end, Xu Zhijun smiled and said: "I originally thought that Huawei might be a lone wolf, and could only move forward silently. I did not expect to meet another young wolf by chance. A lone wolf often has rivals; a pack of wolves. , It’s hard to have an opponent. Mr. Luo, what do you think?"

Xu Zhijun's words are almost equivalent to treating the Côte d'Azur with the same status as Hua, which is enough to show his sincerity and attention, as well as a kind of mind and vision.

Judging from the data on the surface, no matter how to compare, Huawei is already a communications giant with annual revenue of 31.7 billion yuan. It has been 17 years, while the Blue Coast company has not been opened yet, and it has not been established. year.

This is the mind and vision.

"Côte d'Azur, as can be seen from the equity incentive system, this is my worst imitation of Hua. If we can cooperate with Huawei, it can be said to be a milestone for the company's turn." Luo Shengdai With a smile, he said modestly, the other party has expressed so much sincerity. He must be humble anyway. This is not hypocrisy. Humility is never hypocrisy, and there is no false humility. The so-called false humility is a liar.

Xu Zhijun also raised each other's hand again and again, and the two sides started a wave of business exchanges.

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "How do you plan to use a cooperative method?"

Xu Zhijun pushed back: "Mr. Luo might as well speak first."

Cooperation is the key point. This is not about commercial mutual bluffs, nor is it a hit that can be done immediately.

Huawei is a company with 17 years of ups and downs. It has experienced storms and waves including the bursting of the IT bubble. It 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 parties are people who pay attention to clearly distinguishing their interests. Only by clearly distinguishing their interests can cooperation be maintained stably and for a long time.

Seeing him, Luo Sheng pushed back the question, thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "How many chip companies are currently struggling to survive in the shadow of the old chip manufacturer giants? And whether it’s Huawei, I’m also on the Riviera. Well, they are all companies that were born with non-chip genes and want to make chips..."

Xu Zhijun nodded, and saw that the other party stopped and couldn't help but continue: "In the eyes of most people, it is no different from a fantasy. When your company was just established, the industry agreed that the final result must be a dead end."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: “If you just want to make quick money, you don’t have to spend money on chips. In case of failure, the entire company may be dragged into the abyss, but this is only a short-term risk, and long-term risk, when one day comes from The basic components and technology of the third party have been blocked, can it still be fun?"

Xu Zhijun nodded in agreement.

Luo Sheng said: "As for cooperation, ten words: complementary advantages and disadvantages, and good distribution of benefits."

Xu Zhijun: "I would like to hear the details."

Luo Sheng paused, organized a speech to restore his arrogance and self-confidence again, and said: "Technically, I don't want to be too humble. A highly confidential [Azure] project we are currently working on will definitely help the world. Bringing revolutionary changes, the most expensive R&D cost of the Côte d'Azur is not billions or tens of billions of investment. This is not the most expensive cost, time cost is the most expensive."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng and Xu Zhijun looked at each other and added: “The time cost is ultimately reflected in human resources. Simply put, I am short of people, especially excellent technical backbones. [Azure] plans to have one thousand two hundred. There is a team of 300 engineers, but it is far from enough. At least 3,000 or even more than 4,000 engineers are needed. For me, the more talents are the better."

The Cote d'Azur is not as deep as Apple's. It is almost a few steps from scratch, and it is still in a hurry.

It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Sheng is thirsty for talents. Without sufficient manpower, many R&D projects are forced to stay on the plan. Even if the funds are in place, the projects cannot be launched immediately.

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

Even smart phones don’t need to be so exaggerated, right?

Of course, the smart phones that Xu Zhijun thinks must be those with plastic keyboards.

Nowadays, this is the smart phone.

Only Luo Sheng can't accept calling a functional phone a smart phone, and one person can't accept it, that is, the leader of the Qiao gang. Currently, around the world, I am afraid that the two of them can reach a consensus on this issue.
