Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 711 Meeting with President Huawei

As early as mid last year, when Fang Zhe led QUALCOMM and Zhongxi International Cooperation, he persuaded and promoted Xiaomi, vivo, oppo and other domestic mobile phone brands to establish a chip defense alliance. Since then, Fang Zhe has handed the matter over to Li Zhipeng, CEO of the Huichuang Patent Alliance.

The Huichuang Patent Union, as a small community of interests of a large number of domestically produced mobile phone brands, has made a lot of efforts and done a lot of things in reconciling various contradictions and facilitating cooperation among various countries over the years.

Therefore, whether Li Zhipeng or the top of the Huichuang Patent League, they are quite familiar with various domestic mobile phone companies.

After receiving Fang Zhe's assignment, Li Zhipeng did not dare to delay and did his utmost to supervise the matter. After nearly a year of promotion and collaboration, domestic mobile phone manufacturers, large and small, promised to join the chip defense alliance.

Even Fang Zhe originally intended to be the lobbyist Huawei, but he did not hesitate to join the chip defense alliance. It seems that local mobile phone manufacturers have been suffering for a long time!

Huawei promised that he would take the opportunity to visit General Manager Fang Zhe of Huawei last year to delay the visit time again and again. Until this time, he watched a few days later when the Domestic Handmade Chip Defense Alliance was about to be formally established. Fang Zhe finally extracted the time to meet with General Manager Ren.

Just like Fang Zhe and President Ren Yunyi, although they have never met each other, they have heard of each other for a long time. Fang Zhe does not have to say that as the world's richest and leading figure in the domestic Internet industry, there are not many people in China who do not know Fang Zhe's famous name, and President Ren Su founded Huawei is also the leader in domestic private enterprises.

Since its founding in 1987, Huawei has developed for nearly 30 years. Although it is not comparable to those established state-owned central enterprises in terms of age, in terms of enterprise strength, it is one of the leaders in the crushing of many state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, especially in the field of communications. Huawei is also one of the leaders in China and the world.

From the 3G to the present 4G era, Huawei's share of core patents in the field of communications has been increasing, while Huawei has also taken the lead in the 5G field of competing R&D competitions in various countries.

Since the establishment of the Future Research Institute, there has also been a lot of cooperation between the two companies in the 5G field. So far, Huizhong Huawei has more than a hundred patents in the 5G field.

“President Ren, I've always wanted to visit you, but I've been delayed by various trivial matters. Today I finally have the opportunity. I need to ask you for help.” Fang Zhe said.

Director Ren shook his hand and squeezed the wrinkles on his face. He smiled and said: "I also have a lot of questions I want to ask President Xiaofang. I just took the opportunity today to talk to you!"

“One old man, one young woman!" President Ren was quite right, considering his age, Mr. Ren is almost as old as Grandpa Fang Zhe.

The two people chat with each other, from the domestic Internet industry to the global Internet industry, to the mobile phone industry, communications industry, even 5G, IoT, unmanned driving and other popular topics of future technology.

The more we talk down, the more speculative the two are.

Inside, there is a feeling of compassion at the end of the year.

“It's amazing, it's amazing, there are no nothingness under fame, at least from now until the next 20 years, you will be a monument that young entrepreneurs in China and around the world cannot overcome!" President Ren praised.

Fang Zhe humbly shook his head, while slowly introducing the topic to his purpose today:

“Protectionism and populism have prevailed globally in the past two years. After Country A proposed an Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy, China's competition with Country A has intensified. Although high-level forward-looking strategies such as the Belt and Road Initiative have been proposed to develop overseas markets, it is difficult to achieve the desired results in a short period of time.

In addition, with China's advances in the frontier of science and technology in recent years, there are also more technology competitions with Country A. Two years ago, the prism door of Country A shocked the world, but also showed everyone that Country A is bound to be tough in the field of communications. Huawei is in this field and should be fully prepared. ”

General Manager Ren glanced brightly, and he had an instinct in his heart. I'm afraid what Fang Zhe began to say is his main purpose today.

President Ren thought about it. Xu Xu said:

“We have always been watching and preparing for what you said. Throughout history, the rise of any major power cannot escape the Sicidith trap. More than a decade ago, we spent billions of dollars asking IBM's team to consult us.

At that time, IBM gave us more than a dozen suggestions, one of which was to mention that we in Huawei had potential risks that could affect the normal operation of our business due to the foreign technical blockade and embargo.

So later, Huawei made a lot of spare tire plans, from the operating system to the chip, we have our own project reserves inside Huawei. ”

Fang Zhe has no doubt about this. Although Huawei has spare tires, under the close cooperation between Huawei and overseas enterprises, it is not possible for Huawei to spend a lot of effort and resources to develop spare tires. In other words, once Huawei's business is hit by an irresistible major blow from the outside world, Huawei's spare tires are not as easy as imagined to “correct". Within a few years of development and abrasion, how can related businesses be so smoothly switched to normal operation?

Yes, Fang Zhe more openly and solemnly reminded: "Next year is the election year of Country A, the international situation is complicated and chaotic. In my prediction, by then, China's friction with Country A will intensify, shooting the head bird, whether we gather the crowd or Huawei, may be the other party's priority target.

So I hope that you and Huawei will pay enough attention to this matter. Then we will fight side by side and move forward and back together! "

Originally there was still some unreasonable Ren President, saw Fang Zhe's solemn face, heard Fang Zhe's serious tone, his heart was inexplicably touched, with Xiaofang's overall far-sightedness, wisdom and insight, he would not come to find himself for no reason. If he said such a thing, it can be seen that Xiaofang must be

Detect and think of what will happen.

President Ren nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he would seriously consider the matter. When he arrived here, Fang Zhe did not go any further. His reminder has already been mentioned. If Huawei is still indifferent and repeats the mistake, there is nothing he can do.

On the third day after Fang Zhe's visit to Huawei, Zhongxin International officially announced the successful mass production of Snapdragon 410 chips, including dozens of domestic mobile phone models such as Redmi 3rd generation, Huawei G6, G7, Zhongxing V5, A 880, and vivoY series, all of which will be launched this year with Snapdragon 410 chips!

Five days later, Li Zhipeng, CEO of the Huichuawei Patent League, leaders or executives of several domestic mobile phone brands such as Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo, jointly convened a press conference to announce the formal establishment of the Domestic Chip Defense League.

In the future, manufacturers will solve the issue of chips and preferential use rights through consultation of the Alliance. The Alliance will also align domestic and global mobile phone industry chips and supply chain resources. Later, the Alliance will act as an interlocutor and negotiate with upstream and downstream enterprises such as Qualcomm and Taiwan Electricity on behalf of Alliance members to help Alliance members buy better chips at a more affordable price.
