Countercurrent 1982

At the exhibition in the morning, Tianyin Group was indeed very well received, which surprised Ren Zhengfei and other Huawei technicians who came from the same company.Because before they came to the United States, they never thought that a Chinese technology company could be so highly regarded. Many professional media, including some well-known TV and newspaper media in the United States, also

They all made special reports on Tianyin Group's participation in the exhibition. As for the content of the reports, apart from the products themselves, the key focus was on the strong rise of Chinese technology companies.

Although Ren Zhengfei has no objection to saying that Tianyin Group has always been the largest and strongest technology company in China, it is completely beyond the expectations of Ren Zhengfei and others to be so strong in the United States. "I really didn't expect it..." Facing Duan Yun, Ren Zhengfei didn't hide his envy, and only heard him continue: "Mr. what
......"

"What about the United States?" Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "As long as you have strength, you will win respect anywhere, especially our technology companies, which have always relied on technology to speak."

"That's right, it depends on technology." "Actually, my company's high popularity in the United States did not accumulate overnight. It can be called solid accumulation. As early as five or six years ago, I had I began to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to develop the US market, and ten years ago, I also set up a research and development center in Silicon Valley." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "At the beginning, it was really difficult, and I have been I was desperately throwing money into it. At that time, my company was not as profitable as it is now, but I had to spend at least 1/10 of Lilan’s investment in the US market every year. Most of them were engaged in technology research and development. To be able to open up the US market, and sent a special
The industry team set up a branch in the United States. In the first year or so, I spent 600 million US dollars, but only sold less than [-] DVDs..."

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Ren Zhengfei laughed.

For what Duan Yun said, Ren Zhengfei naturally believed deeply, because it is indeed very difficult to develop the US market, especially for high-tech electronic products.Although many mainland Chinese companies have entered the US market since the early 90s, such as Haier, which even set up a branch factory in the US, in fact, the technical threshold for producing household appliances is very low, which is far lower than that of other companies. products such as DVD, and Haier was also cooperating with American companies at that time, and its core and key technologies were in the hands of Japan and the United States. Haier Group only relied on a complete industrial chain and cheap
The labor cost finally gained a firm foothold in the US home appliance market, but in fact, Lilan is very meager, and most of Lilan belongs to companies in the United States and Japan.However, the DVD produced by Telling Group is different. Telling Group has completely independent intellectual property rights for this product. Each DVD sold in the United States can reach about 13%~15% of the profit, which is already very impressive. Before that, Lilan’s domestic electrical appliances sold overseas generally only had about 4% to 7%, and most of them had to rely on the state’s tax rebate subsidies to obtain Lilan, otherwise, they would not earn a few at all...

money. "We Chinese like to work steadily and steadily. The current results are not easy to accumulate in the past few years. It is difficult to build a brand, but it is very easy to fall down. Once your company loses its ability to innovate, or If there is a big problem with product quality, all the word-of-mouth accumulated in the past will disappear, and it will become even more difficult to turn around. Therefore, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is also very difficult to maintain the current situation.

One point you have to live. " Duan Yun said to Ren Zhengfei.

"Yes, if the product is not mature enough, it can definitely be rushed to the market." Ren Zhengfei nodded.

"In fact, your Huawei company is already very good. I have also met the bosses of many domestic technology companies before, but I think they are not as good as you in terms of ability and vision." Duan Yun glanced at Ren Zhengfei and said. "Mr. Duan has won the award." Hearing Duan Yun praise himself, Ren Zhengfei shook his head again and again, only to hear him say: "Those who can start a business and become the boss of a company are not simple people. Sometimes it is difficult to find out if you don't have long-term contact with them." Their real advantages, not to mention the whole country, even Shenzhen has many crouching tigers, hidden dragons, but I started earlier, caught up with good policies and good times, and recruited excellent technicians. With now
Huawei, and although we have made some achievements over the years, they are nothing compared to Mr. Duan’s company, and I will learn a lot from you in the future..." In front of Duan Yun, Ren Zhengfei has always been very humble , and this is definitely not pretending, he really admires Duan Yun very much, the relationship between Duan Yun and him is not limited to very good friends, it is more like a teacher and a friend
Especially in terms of company development, Ren Zhengfei has actually been copying Tianyin Group's "homework".

Afterwards, the two walked and chatted, and began to visit other booths in the exhibition hall.

At this year's CES exhibition, new digital TV products began to play a leading role. Many electrical appliance companies in the United States launched their newly developed digital TV sets, which caused a lot of excitement.

But in general, if digital TV is to be popularized, it still needs to face many problems, the biggest problem of which is cost.In fact, in the late 90s, the United States had already started the process of deindustrialization, and turned to the financial and service industry. The price of electronic products in the United States was very expensive.
And the wages of workers are too high, resulting in high production costs, and in order to solve this problem, Americans began to transfer some of their domestic industrial production capacity to other countries.In the 60s and [-]s, Americans once transferred part of their industrial production capacity to Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, and now the labor costs of Japan and South Korea have also begun to remain high, and this

At that time, China became the world's largest industrial product OEM force, and the title of "world factory" began from this.According to Duan Yun's estimate, after the development of this digital TV, it will only take two to three years at most before Chinese companies will start producing OEMs and start exporting to the world. This is completely predictable.
things.If Duan Yun also wants to get a share of it, then he only needs to cooperate with these companies in the United States. With the strength of Tianyin Group, it can quickly realize the mass production and export of this product.
