Global Monopoly of Technology

At the end, after Xu Zhijun came back to his senses, he hesitated, and for a moment he couldn't help but say: "It's too shocking, I seriously doubt whether you have mind reading skills, Mr. Luo, or I don't know how you got me from it. The company's top secrets."

Xu Zhijun knew very well that it would be meaningless to deny this kind of situation. If you deny others, you may not believe it. It is impossible for a person like Luo Sheng to be changed by a few words from the outside world. It is better to be straightforward. admit.

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing, and said calmly: "Mr. Xu, you can observe me in the dark, but I can't observe some of the things that Hua Wei is doing in the dark? It's just that I thought about it a little more and guessed."

Guessing?

After listening to what he said in front of him, Xu Zhijun wouldn't believe it when he was killed, but thought he was humble and couldn't help sighing.

He now finally understands why the other party is able to rise at a lightning speed in the Internet world. Before, he thought that Luo Sheng might be out of luck, plus he has a bit of strength, and he has a mouth that is comparable to that of President Ma.

Sure enough, it is only after the experience that I can understand it deeply. It is no wonder that those investors are so willing to give him a lot of money, and they can tolerate the harsh equity conditions he proposed.

After such a short exchange, the importance of Luo Sheng and Azure Coast Company in his mind has skyrocketed.

After a while, Xu Zhijun confessed again that even if he didn't confess, he would rather not tell a lie, because someone with such insight would be deceiving himself if he wanted to hide it from him.

"Actually, we personally, a lot of people have paid too much for people, just for an ideal, and this ideal is to stand on the highest point in the world. To be honest, one thing that happened last year made everyone unable to hold back, let us I made up my mind to strive for the world number one, of course we shouted this slogan internally, but in the past, we were always not allowed to shout this slogan even internally.”

Having said that, Xu Zhijun looked at Luo Sheng again, and continued to tell the story of Hua Wei that year without reservation.

"That is, from 2003, we put forward the hypothesis of [extreme survival] internally, and at that time we had a strong premonition that we would meet the United States at the top of the mountain, we were exhausted when we reached the top, and the other party really nourished energy. Xu Rui was waiting on the top of the mountain for a long time, and we were also hesitant at that time, hesitating whether to make a change, put on a cowboy hat and continue working.”

"So last year, we planned to sell Huawei to Motorola for 10 billion US dollars. The two sides negotiated for a long time, and the agreement was reached at the beginning of this year. At that time, our contract was initially signed, and all the formalities were completed, waiting for the approval of the Motorola board of directors. , and even our negotiators have bought floral clothes, run games on the beach, big balls, and wait for approval."

"As a result, Motorola suddenly changed coaches during this process, and Edward Zander was parachuted down to become the new CEO. This man was short-sighted and deliberately pressed the price to $7.5 billion, which we definitely couldn't accept, so we failed to complete this merger. At that time , our idea is to wear an old American brand of cowboy hat to play all over the world, this idea did not come true after all.”

"At the beginning of this year, we voted again internally whether to sell or not? No! The young faction unanimously said no to sell, and they were not angry with this bird, so they decided to prepare for a confrontation with their opponents at the top of the mountain, make all preparations, prepare A series of problems with our opponents at the top of the mountain."

Qin Weimu, who was sitting next to Luo Sheng, was fascinated by it. Xu Zhijun recounted these events in a eloquent and emotional way. It was touching, and at the same time, it was full of passion.

Luo Sheng was not so emotional, because it was nothing new to him.

Some people, on the surface, appear to be under 20 years old, but in fact they don't drink Meng Po soup. They even throw their fetuses in the past, cut off other people's hus, go their own way and rob other people's way, leaving others without a way. can go.

At the end, Xu Zhijun said with a smile: "I originally thought that Hua Wei might be a lone wolf, so he could only move forward silently and alone. He didn't expect to meet another young wolf by chance in the middle of the road. A lone wolf often has rivals; a pack of wolves , it is difficult to have a rival. President Luo, what do you think?"

Xu Zhijun's words are almost equivalent to elevating the Cote d'Azur to the same status as Hua, which is enough to show his sincerity and attention, as well as a kind of mind and vision.

Judging from the data on the bright side, no matter how you compare it, Huawei has already been a communications giant with an annual revenue of 31.7 billion yuan, and it has gone through 17 years, and the Cote d'Azur company has not been opened yet, and it has not been established for less than a year. year.

This is the mind and vision.

"Côte d'Azur, it can be seen from the equity incentive system. This is my worst imitation of Wah Wei. If we can cooperate with Huawei, it can be said to be a milestone for Côte d'Azur." Luo Sheng said. He smiled and said humbly, the other party expressed such great sincerity, he must be humble no matter what, this is not hypocrisy, humility is never hypocrisy, and there is no such thing as false modesty, so-called false modesty is a liar.

Xu Zhijun also raised each other's hands again and again, and the two sides strongly started a wave of business exchanges.

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "What kind of cooperation method are you going to use?"

Xu Zhijun pushed back: "Mr. Luo might as well speak first."

Cooperation is the key point. This is not a business mutual blow, nor is it a hit and miss.

Hua Wei is a company that has experienced ups and downs for 17 years. It has experienced strong winds and waves including the bursting of the IT bubble. It is an extremely mature communications giant, and Luo Sheng is also a young wolf king, not a member of the wolf pack.

But there is one key point. Both parties pay attention to clearly distinguishing their interests. Only when the interests are clearly divided and clear can cooperation be maintained stably and for a long time.

Seeing him, Luo Sheng pushed the question back, thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "How many chip companies are struggling to survive in the shadow of the old chip maker giants? Well, they are all companies born out of non-chip genes, and they want to make chips..."

Xu Zhijun nodded, and when he saw the other party stopped, he couldn't help but continue: "In the eyes of most people, it is nothing short of a fantasy. When your company was first established, the industry agreed that its final result must be sinking into the sea."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "If you just want to make quick money, then you don't have to spend money on chips. If it fails, it may drag the entire company into the abyss, but this is only a short-term risk, and the long-term risk will one day come from The basic components and technology of the third party are blocked, can it still be played?”

Xu Zhijun nodded in approval.

Luo Sheng said: "As for the issue of cooperation, ten words: complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and distribute benefits well."

Xu Zhijun: "I would like to hear the details."

Luo Sheng paused, organized some words to restore his arrogant and confident side again, and said, "I don't want to be too modest technically, a highly confidential [Azure] project we are working on will definitely help the world Bringing revolutionary changes, the most expensive thing on the Côte d’Azur now is not the cost of research and development of billions of dollars, it is not the most expensive cost, but the most expensive cost of time.”

Having said that, Luo Sheng and Xu Zhijun looked at each other and added: "The time cost is ultimately reflected in human resources. To put it simply, I am currently short of people, especially excellent technical backbones. [Azure] plans to have 1,200 people. A team of 300 engineers is still far from enough, at least 3,000 or even 4,000 engineers are needed, and the more talents, the better for me.”

The Côte d'Azur is not as deep-rooted as Apple's, it's almost a few steps from scratch, and it's in a hurry.

It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Sheng is thirsty for talents, and there is not enough manpower. Many R\u0026D projects are forced to stay on the plan. Even if no one has the funds, the project cannot be launched immediately.

Xu Zhijun was stunned for a while, what exactly is the [Azure] plan, and a plan actually needs such an exaggerated team of engineers, isn't it just to make a mobile phone product?

Even a smartphone doesn't need to be so exaggerated, right?

Of course, what Xu Zhijun thinks of smartphones must be those with plastic keyboards.

These days, that's the smartphone.

Only Luo Sheng couldn't accept calling a functional phone a smart phone, and there was another person who couldn't accept it, and that was Gang Master Qiao. At present, the two of them can reach a consensus on this issue in the world.
