Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 2191 Golden Phone
When Duan Yun appeared at the gate of Huawei headquarters, Ren Zhengfei had already been waiting there.

The last time the two met was at the beginning of the year, when it was the Spring Festival, Ren Zhengfei personally visited Duan Yun's house on the first day of the new year, and the two had dinner together.

Ren Zhengfei is now a well-known entrepreneur in the country. His bold and resolute style makes everyone in the company respect him very much. He is usually unsmiling in the company. When he encounters dissatisfaction, he will scold himself loudly without hesitation. of the men.

In general, Ren Zhengfei still maintains the style of a soldier, and his managers are quite strict. Even some veterans of the company, he is sometimes merciless, and he has a somewhat ruthless style.

But when facing Duan Yun, Ren Zhengfei has always been very respectful, even though his current status is not what it used to be, but over the years, he still maintains the habit of taking the initiative to give Duan Yun New Year greetings every year.

The reason why he would do this is, on the one hand, because Duan Yun is his noble person. When Huawei was in the most difficult time, Duan Yun gave him a lot of money and help. Get through the toughest times.

And over the years, Duan Yun's team has continued to help Ren Zhengfei, providing him with a free R&D center in the high-tech development zone of Bao'an County, exempting him from rent for two years, and also providing them with the most core digital program control at a low price. The switch chip solves the most critical parts supply, which is also of great help to Ren Zhengfei, because at present, the price of foreign chip foundries is too expensive, and only Tianyin Group has relevant new chip production technology in China. , Therefore, Huawei's dependence on Tianyin Group is very huge. If Tianyin Group cuts off the supply of parts to him, Huawei will lose a lot of market competitiveness.

The last point is that Duan Yun still holds 25% of Huawei’s shares. He is the only shareholder besides Ren Zhengfei. Although there are not many shares, but considering various factors, the importance of Duan Yun to Ren Zhengfei is self-evident. of.

Another important factor for the close relationship between the two is that Mr. Duan Yun can bring some commercial projects with very high returns to Huawei Group, including car navigation systems, the national Beidou communication project, and this time 2G mobile phones. Both parties are conducting joint research and development. These projects have become an important profit growth point for Huawei in the future. Therefore, Ren Zhengfei also attaches great importance to these projects and invested a lot of human and material resources in the company.

Like Tianyin Group, Huawei has always been a technology company that attaches great importance to product research and development. With the success of digital program-controlled machines in China over the years, the company's profits have also continued to increase. Last year, Huawei's total sales exceeded The net profit has reached 30 million yuan. In the first half of this year, the order has already reached 3.6 billion yuan. It is conservatively estimated that the annual profit this year may reach 40 million yuan.

At present, other domestic technology companies, such as Lenovo, spend about 3% to 5% of their annual scientific research investment, while Huawei's scientific research investment has always remained above 15%, and this year it has reached 22% this year. The proportion has even exceeded Tianyin Group's 20%, which is considered to be the largest investment proportion among all domestic technology companies.

The reason why Huawei does this is that Ren Zhengfei has been imitating Duan Yun. Unlike many short-sighted entrepreneurs in China, Ren Zhengfei is a master with a long-term strategic vision. Currently, Huawei applies for more than 1000 patent projects every year. , and this number is still increasing. When domestic companies generally do not value product patents, Ren Zhengfei is particularly concerned with the development and application of patents.

"Mr. Duan, welcome!" As soon as we met, Ren Zhengfei came forward with a smile on his face, and held Duan Yun's hand with both hands.

"You told me on the phone that you have already got a sample of a 2G mobile phone, which is amazing!" Duan Yun praised, and then said: "I really didn't expect that you were originally given two years, but it turned out that it has just passed After more than a year, you have completed the research and development of the product, which is really not easy."

Duan Yun knows that the research and development of 2G mobile phones is definitely not an easy task, especially the design of the core chip requires mastering a lot of technologies and algorithms, which is why Duan Yun chose to jointly develop with Huawei in the first place.

In fact, Huawei is far from being able to compare with Tianyin Group in terms of the scale of technical personnel and various strengths. However, as Huawei has invested more and more funds in scientific research over the years, it has attracted more and more outstanding talents. And because their technology research and development projects are mainly focused on program-controlled switches and chip design, not as many as Tianyin Group's research and development projects, there is a gap between Huawei and Tianyin Group in these two projects, but the gap is not too big. big.

In any country in the world, even if it is the top companies in the world, it is impossible for him to inform all industries by himself, so it is very necessary to cooperate with other companies. Even the famous Sony Corporation, in the When developing game consoles, in the end, they had to choose to cooperate with Nintendo's company, even though Sony's overall strength is much higher than Nintendo's.

In the future, Duan Yun intends to further strengthen cooperation with Huawei to become bigger and stronger in the communications industry.

"The prototype is in my office, let's talk inside." Ren Zhengfei made a gesture of invitation, and Duan Yun followed him into the headquarters building.

After the two entered the office, Ren Zhengfei respectfully poured Duan Yun a cup of tea, then took out a delicate paper box from his desk, and placed it in front of Duan Yun.

"This is the mobile phone prototype we just developed, referring to the mobile phone produced by Torola." Ren Zhengfei continued with a bit of pride on his face, "We first carried out a reverse imitation of this machine and learned something about it. After the technical principle, we organized our best experts to carry out a new design. At present, this mobile phone has been tested on the Internet, and its performance in all aspects is very good, not inferior to Motorola's products at all."

"Uh." Hearing this, Duan Yun nodded in satisfaction, and then gently opened the packing box.

This packaging box should be specially customized, just to reflect the high-end sense of this prototype. After all, this prototype has spent a lot of money on research and development, and it has also condensed the efforts of many technicians, so it is reasonable to be regarded as a treasure. matter.

After opening the box, Duan Yun finally saw the appearance of this prototype. To his surprise, this prototype was about the same size as Motorola's similar products, but the shell was actually gold-plated and polished, which seemed full of luxury.
