Countercurrent 1982

Although Duan Yun has always maintained a very close cooperative relationship with ZTE and Huawei, Huawei and ZTE have chosen two completely different development routes.Like Ren Zhengfei, ZTE's Hou Weigui has a very high desire for new products and new technologies. In the past few years, through cooperation with Tianyin Group, ZTE Electronics has been in the field of domestic fixed-line telephones.

Occupying the top position in the sales list, according to the statistics of relevant departments last year, on average, 23% of the ten domestically-made telephones are produced by ZTE Electronics. This figure is still very scary.Therefore, in terms of the company's annual revenue, ZTE Electronics is slightly better than Huawei. Last year, Huawei Electronics' total revenue was 15 billion yuan, while ZTE Electronics' total revenue was 17.2 billion yuan. Among the entire Shenzhen technology company

It is the second largest domestic technology giant after Tianyin Group.

In fact, ZTE Electronics has been living on its laurels for these years. Since the joint research and development of landline telephones with Tianyin Group a few years ago, there are no other products that can be sold.Some time ago, Hou Weigui saw the rapid development of the domestic mobile phone market, and proposed to cooperate with Tianyin Group to enter the mobile communication business. However, this cooperation is limited to the mobile phone product itself and does not involve other technologies.
surgery.Moreover, Hou Weigui is taking a shortcut of pragmatism. Although the annual revenue is higher than that of Huabei Company, the investment in technology research and development is less than 1/3 of that of Huawei. Moreover, ZTE Electronics also lacks

The kind of highly creative technical leader.But in Huawei, Ren Zhengfei has a lot of talents, especially in terms of top talents, even Duan Yun's Tianyin Group, there are not many such top talents, and the representative of them is the technical director of Huawei.

Supervisor Yu Chengdong.Yu Chengdong can be said to be a veteran of Huawei. He was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University with the first grade in the county. In 1993, Yu Chengdong, who was admitted to Tsinghua University as a graduate student, took advantage of the opportunity to go to Shenzhen to do a project.
By chance, I joined Huawei, which had only more than 200 people at that time.At that time, Ren Zhengfei had a keen eye for talents. At that time, Huawei was planning to develop its own switches. Yu Chengdong, who graduated from the Department of Motion Control, could be said to be a talent that Huawei urgently needed. After some contact, Ren Zhengfei identified this person.

This is the talent he needs, so after a long discussion, Yu Chengdong finally decided to join Huawei.

When developing Huawei's first-generation switch, Yu Chengdong made great contributions and gained the trust of Ren Zhengfei. Two years later, he became the technical director of the project.

Later, when Yu Chengdong saw the rapid development of the international mobile communication field, he immediately asked the president Ren Zhengfei to ask and lead the team to enter the wireless communication business.It takes a lot of courage to dare to enter the wireless communication business at this time, and compete directly with the world's top communication companies, because at that time, Chinese people generally lacked domestic technology.

Lack of confidence, thinking that it is impossible to surpass developed countries in Europe and America in the short term.In the domestic industry, even some well-known domestic technology companies do not have the courage and confidence to compete with those multinational technology giants. On the one hand, they lack confidence in technological innovation. On the other hand, many domestic technology companies, In fact, it is also necessary to rely on foreign giants for food. Some key technologies and parts are mastered by foreign companies. If these multinational giants find that domestic companies want to compete with them...

If they grab their jobs, then these domestic companies will lose their jobs first.

But Yu Chengdong can be said to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, while Ren Zhengfei has extremely high vision and courage. The two of them partnered together, and the result turned into a gamble that caused a sensation in the entire industry.Yu Chengdong, who was born as a technician, is well aware of the difficulty of research and development of 3G communication technology. As the old saying goes, "the bench will sit on the bench for ten years", the investment of a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in the early stage will be astronomical, and
Success was not necessarily guaranteed, and it was a very dangerous thing for any domestic company at the time, but Ren Zhengfei and Yu Chengdong finally chose to do so.Duan Yun also admired the courage of Ren Zhengfei and Yu Chengdong. As one of Huawei's largest shareholders, Tianyin Group also sent some technical personnel to carry out joint research and development, because Duan Yun knew that Huawei had achieved success in the end. Therefore, his investment in this aspect is not spared, and from the perspective of the cooperation between the two parties, the 3G technology is still led by Tianyin Group for research and development, and Huawei is responsible for only 1/[-] of the technology projects.
3.As for Hou Weigui of ZTE Electronics, he really doesn’t have the courage to gamble. He prefers to choose a shortcut to make profits.
As for 2G mobile phone technology, Hou Weigui has no plan, because he believes that Ren Zhengfei is impossible to succeed and is just wasting manpower and money.Therefore, in Duan Yun's eyes, although Huawei and the center are similar in size and strength, in fact, Duan Yun has already regarded North China as a strategic partner. As for ZTE Electronics, it can only be regarded as a key point.

business partners.

Duan Yun deliberately supported Ren Zhengfei when he went to the United States this time, because the two companies have the same strategic vision and can keep pace for a long time and play a role of mutual support.

In addition to wireless laptops, Huawei replacement phones and mobile phones, Duan Yun is also planning to bring another product to the United States at this Tianyin Group exhibition, which is the second-generation product of Tianyin MP3 player.

The first MP3 player developed by Telling Group at that time had two chips inside and a storage capacity of 128MB, which could store more than 30 songs, which was equivalent to the weight of three ordinary tapes.After the MP3 player entered the United States for the first time, Tianyin Group made some improvements to this product, and used the strongest flash memory chip developed by Tianyin Group at that time to expand the storage capacity of the player.
The volume has doubled, and the number of stored songs has reached more than 60. After the new player was launched in the United States, it was welcomed by many young Americans.And this year, Tianyin Group's flash memory chip made another breakthrough. The MP3 player produced by this chip has a storage capacity of 512MB and more than 100 songs. It can be said that MP3 players at this time The player is already very close to the Apple iPod of later generations.
