Countercurrent 1982

Moreover, as the strongest communication technology company in Shenzhen, Hou Weigui's Central Electronics and Ren Zhengfei's Huawei have been secretly competing.

Holding companies, but in fact both parties want to infiltrate each other's business areas.Before Huawei launched domestic mobile phones, the domestic mobile phone market was still dominated by imported brands. Although many domestic companies wanted to set up the mobile phone industry, due to the high technical threshold and the core patents were all taken by foreign countries.
Therefore, in the past few years, no domestic enterprises have been able to respect this industry.It was not until Huawei and Tianyin Group jointly developed a new type of domestic mobile phone that this situation was quickly broken. Especially since the beginning of this year, Huawei's first-generation mobile phone shipments are quite huge. In a short period of time,

It has already grabbed a large market share and has become a well-deserved leading enterprise in the domestic mobile phone industry.The launch of Huawei mobile phones also broke the competitive balance between him and ZTE Electronics. In terms of technology, it has gradually become the leader in the country, which is what Hou Weigui is most proud of. However, the mobile phones launched by Ren Zhengfei have already surpassed others in terms of product technology and sales.

The economics has obviously surpassed that of ZTE Electronics, so Hou Weigui also hopes to get a share of the wireless communication field through cooperation with Duan Yun.

"You ZTE also want to develop mobile phones?" Duan Yun asked.If someone else seeks to cooperate in the development of mobile phones, Duan Yun may refuse without hesitation, because Tianyin Group currently possesses many patents and technologies in mobile communications, and such technologies cannot be easily leaked out.
After all, Duan Yun plans to deploy smartphones in the future, and the current technology accumulation will help him maintain his technical advantages in the future, so he can't easily reveal it.But Hou Weigui's ZTE Electronics is different. In March this year, ZTE Electronics had been reorganized into Central Communication Co., Ltd. Duan Yun owns 25% of its shares, which is the same as Duan Yun's ownership in Huawei.

The shareholding ratio of ZTE and Huawei is exactly the same, so from this point of view, ZTE and Huawei have the same status in Duan Yun's mind.

It is precisely because of this that when Hou Weigui made a request for cooperation, it was impossible for Duan Yun to directly refuse. After all, if ZTE was successful in the mobile phone industry, Duan Yun could also benefit from it.Moreover, compared with Ren Zhengfei, although Hou Weigui's company has slightly lower investment in product technology research and development, he himself has very strong contacts, so if ZTE Electronics can successfully develop mobile phones, the sales volume will not be high.
It will definitely be lower than Huawei. "That's right, I actually had this idea a long time ago, and I also organized special engineers to develop products, but our technology is not up to standard, and the products we made are heavy and clumsy, just like the big brothers we used before. When he said this, Hou Weigui showed a bit of helplessness on his face, and he just listened and continued: "The key problem lies in the integration of circuits and the writing of related software. Before that, we purchased a lot of imported chips from the market. But those chips are not specially designed for mobile phones, some are chips used by computers at all, so it is difficult to achieve compactness in terms of circuit integration. We have also noticed the mobile phones developed by Huawei before. He...

We are using the chips produced by Mr. Duan and your company, so if these chips can be sold to Huawei, they should be able to be sold to our company..." "Hehe, Mr. Hou, of course I am willing to sell the chips to your company, but among them The problem is not so simple, because this chip and other related electronic components are jointly developed by Huawei and us, and some patents
The rights belong to Huawei, so it is impossible to sell the chips produced for their company to you. " Duan Yun said.

"Is that so..." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Hou Weigui frowned. "Actually, if you really want to be in the mobile phone industry, my suggestion is to increase investment in research and development in this industry. I can also send some engineers to work with you on joint research and development, and provide some related patented technologies." Duan Yun paused After a while, he continued: "When we cooperated with Huawei, it took half a year to launch the first prototype. Now that we have accumulated some technology, if the two of us cooperate, I think it will take up to three years.
What do you think of launching a brand new phone in just a few months? Duan Yun knew in his heart that no matter how powerful Huawei is, it is impossible for him to monopolize the domestic mobile phone market. At least the post and telecommunications departments in many provinces and cities currently mainly promote imported mobile phones. But if ZTE also joins the mobile phone industry, relying on Hou Weigui's ability , It is completely possible to sell products to markets that Huawei cannot currently set foot in. If these two companies work together, then guardianship will firmly occupy most of the domestic mobile phones for a long time in the future.

A share of the market share, and Duan Yun's Tianyin Group can also get a very large share of Lilan.Moreover, these two companies are competing with each other and secretly competing, which means that their investment in mobile phone product research and development is increasing. However, no matter what kind of competition the two parties have, Tianyin Group can obtain the most critical core technology from it. , and firmly grasp the most upstream of the product supply chain, which will be of great help to Duan Yun's future entry into the smartphone market, and both Ren Zhengfei and Hou Weigui are also very good at selling communication equipment.

Some of them have very strong channels, which have greater profit margins than Duan Yun independently developing mobile phone products and then selling them.

"That's really great." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Hou Weigui smiled again.

In fact, for now, Hou Weigui's main business focus is still on fixed-line telephone products. He also understands that it will be difficult to surpass Huawei in the mobile phone industry in a short period of time.But in the long run, as a communication electronics company, ZTE Electronics must get involved in the mobile phone industry, so it doesn’t need to be able to overwhelm Huawei in this industry now, as long as it does not have much technology with Huawei in terms of mobile phone product technology The gap is enough, and at least they can get a share of the domestic mobile phone market. In the future, through strengthening investment and a steady and steady style, the two companies will gradually equalize the two companies in mobile phone technology and the market.

aspect gap. "I will give you and Ren Zhengfei the same chances. As for what kind of results you will achieve in the end, it depends on your respective abilities. All in all, the three of us are on the same boat. We will prosper and we will all lose. Competition is fine, but never vicious competition." Duan Yun said seriously.
