Ren Zhengfei carefully looked at the calm young richest man in front of him. Although he obviously felt uncomfortable in his heart, he did not think that the young man opposite was just trying to show off his power to him!

He founded an instant messaging company called Skype in Europe, which achieved a net profit of 130 million in just 18 months, and sold it to eBay, an American e-commerce company, for a staggering price of 5.6 billion U.S. dollars.

Then, he casually spent 900 million of it just to acquire Glass Slag, a giant that is well-known in the gaming industry.

If you only look at one hand, in the eyes of most people who grow flowers, this young rich man who has been praised to the heavens will be immediately classified as a playboy with some ability.

But his investment in this gaming giant seems to have nothing to do with his domestic Emperor Penguin company. But because of the relationship with Bloomberg, the head of Huawei's European office, Ren Zhengfei has more control over most people in Huawei.

News about the young man opposite.

He still has a search engine called [bing] and an Internet company called [acs] cloud computing in Europe. These companies, which are unknown to most ordinary people, seem to have formed a big picture in his layout.

Big net.

Although Ren Zhengfei doesn't know how far this network will grow in the future, he knows one thing very well.

This young man who was praised by American e-commerce eBay CEO Meg Whitman at the age of 18 is by no means someone ordinary people can laugh at: Zhongyong Zhongyong!

He must have something up his sleeve!

However, his big net has not yet been revealed to the world!

Therefore, not many people understand what kind of shocking beast this young man is cultivating!

When this information came together, Ren Zhengfei suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart and focused on the meaning behind Ning Zimo's simple words.

So, Ren Zhengfei asked directly, "Mr. Ning, do you not believe that Motorola has this determination?"

"Brother Ren, you don't need to call me Mr. Ning." Ning Zimo did not answer Ren Zhengfei's question directly. Instead, he smiled and said to him, "Our Emperor Penguin Treasure Digging Trading has a general manager who is about the same age as you.

, his name is Yang Jian, and I usually call him Brother Yang. So if Brother Ren doesn’t mind, if you call me Sentence Mo, I’ll call you Brother Ren.”

Ren Zhengfei had not yet responded, but Liang Yu beside him silently rolled his eyes in his mind.

Now that Big Brother Ren is shouting, is it possible for them to let Mr. Ren retort in person?

This young Mr. Ning still has some tricks to close the distance.

It's just the tone of his words that is not easy for others to accept.

Unexpectedly, Liang Yu just turned around and saw the boss beside him nodding.

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said to Ning Zimo, "Okay, if Zimo lets me be his big brother, what's the harm in calling him that."

Seeing Ren Zhengfei responded, Ning Zimo said, "Brother Ren, I don't look down on Motorola. I even admire Mr. Zafirovsky who wants to meet you. But I

In fact, I don’t agree with anything about the managerial system of OMI multinational corporations.

Perhaps the manager system is a management system that is quite beneficial to investors when it comes to company management, when the board of directors makes decisions, and when the company is operating well. But I have always believed that in the eyes of investors,

If you can’t see the future clearly, hiring a great manager will be useless.”

"Oh? What Zimo said is quite interesting." Ren Zhengfei straightened his body and looked forward with interest to the young man opposite him to continue speaking.

Seeing that Ren Zhengfei was listening attentively, Ning Zimo continued, "In fact, many companies know that in addition to many benefits, the manager system has concentrated disadvantages. Speaking of which, it is nothing more than the managers' familiarity with the company.

The degree of mastery, the selection of managers, the managers’ adaptability, and the company’s trust in managers.

But when it comes to Motorola, their CEO appointment has little to do with the issues just mentioned. According to the information I have, the current CEO of Motorola is Christopher J.

Galvin was forced to retire in September 2003 due to serious disagreements with the board of directors, and he remained in his post until the board of directors decided on a successor. Zafirovsky, who was born in General Electric, has outstanding performance and a strong style, and has been continuously rocketed by Galvin Jr.

Promotion, the voice within the company is extremely high, and he is the perfect candidate to take over as CEO.

Unfortunately, the appointment of Motorola’s CEO has nothing to do with ability, and is more like a game between several political parties. Although Zafirovsky has strong support from the current CEO Xiao Gaowen, it is this job that has caused huge differences with the board of directors.

The support of the CEO made the acquisition strategy of Hua Wei specified by him almost unfeasible.

If Hua Wei places its treasure on Zafirovsky, who is strongly supported by Gao Wen, then the final result of this acquisition will be a void existence."

These details that Ning Zimo knew from Hua Wei's gossip in his previous life were completely classified as commercial secrets in this era, which made Ren Zhengfei frown even more.

Ren Zhengfei had heard about Xiao Gaowen, because Xiao Gaowen pushed Zafirovsky to the CEO position, and it was Zafirovsky who promised him an important prerequisite for Motorola to acquire Flower Power.

Although Zafirovsky was very vague when he mentioned the prerequisites for the acquisition, after Ning Zimo's reminder, Ren Zhengfei followed the clues in the past negotiations and clearly found this clue.

Therefore, this piece of information that came out "randomly" from Ning Zimo's mouth, and the information that was gathered together in his heart, struck him like a bolt from the blue.

If this protracted acquisition negotiation cannot be reached.

So what is the significance of more than a year of preparations by the whole company?

Looking at Ren Zhengfei who was frowning, Ning Zimo did not continue to push him into the abyss.

Because for Hua Wei, who will develop well in the future, this is not an obstacle that cannot be overcome.

On the contrary, it was because of this failure that Hua Wei strengthened its determination to develop the company.

The purpose of Ning Zimo's meeting with Ren Zhengfei this time was not to attack him or to tell him useless news.

This time, he has to do some long-term negotiations!

However, these things must be done step by step.

"Brother Ren, I'm actually very curious about why Huawei is considering selling the company's entire business. If in 2001, in order to alleviate the crisis, Huawei sold its power supply department (Ansheng Electric) to the American Emerson Company for US$750 million.

Optimize the industrial structure.

So now, after adjustments, the structure of the three departments has been carefully designed to ensure that there will be no conflict with regulatory agencies on both sides. What can the sale of Huawei's entire business bring to Huawei? Is it just money? Or fame? Or maybe

Is it something else?"

Ning Zimo looked at Ren Zhengfei with interest. This kind of dimensionality reduction attack with unequal information did give him a sense of pleasure when facing the future boss.

but,

He just,

In order to attract others.

"Leaving aside the reasons why Kawei sold its main business, I want to talk to Mr. Ren about this topic." The sharp sound of Ning Zimo tapping his fingertips on the table came to mind at the right time, and he suddenly pulled Ren Zhengfei out of his thoughts.

"After missing the PHS wave, how will Huawei develop today? Because the topics we will discuss later have a certain relationship with Huawei's future positioning."

Ning Zi silently looked at Ren Zhengfei who had just raised his head, and seeing his eyes full of doubts, he said frankly, "Perhaps, if I talk about my layout of the mobile phone business first, Brother Ren will be able to understand why I asked this question.

"

Standing up habitually, Ning Zimo put his hands on the dining table and whispered softly, "In 2002, I obtained the source code of a smart device operating system and organized a team to start system development for the next generation of mobile phones.

In February of this year, I was in the UK to discuss the acquisition framework of ARM, a company dedicated to researching high-efficiency, low-power chip (microprocessor) architecture for mobile devices. Regardless of whether an agreement is reached or not, I will subsequently establish a corresponding R&D department.

Come and set up my 3G mobile phone R&D department..."

hiss……

Ren Zhengfei took a deep breath. No matter what information he had just received, it was all diverted by the young man's plan to be frank and honest.

In 2002, someone within Huawei initiated the feasibility of developing 2.5g and 3g mobile phone services. At that time, he strongly opposed it. But at the end of 2002, he introduced the technical backbone of the R&D department to the communication exhibition.

When it comes to new technological trends, Hua Wei finally confirmed the establishment of the 3G mobile phone business and issued an order to the executive Ji Ping with a budget of 1 billion.

It was through that report on new trends in the communications industry that he knew what the future development trend of 3G mobile phones would be and what the key technologies of 3G mobile phones were. Therefore, he naturally understood what Ning Zimo said.

Smart device operating systems and the importance of low-power chips for mobile devices in 3G mobile phones.

And the young man in front of him who is younger than him,

The layout had already been made as early as 2002.

Such advanced strategic vision is still so young!

Is he a genius? Or what kind of experience has he gone through?

While listening,

While thinking about it.

It wasn't until Ning Zimo finally laid out his plan in front of him that Ren Zhengfei realized that there really was a kind of person called a genius in this world!

Although this information was discussed internally by Hua Wei, this young genius's ideas were more detailed than the strategist he was!

While Ning Zimo took the cup from his beautiful girlfriend to drink water, Ren Zhengfei finally stopped frowning.

"I made a mistake. I made a mistake starting from the 1997 PHS (Personal Smartphone) technology."

Ren Zhengfei sighed, which startled Liang Yu, the translator next to him. Their big boss, who had great vision and refused to admit defeat, had never given up like this before?

"In 1997, the leaders of my country's Post and Telecommunications Bureau brought PHS technology back to China when they visited Neon Country. But from the beginning, I positioned Huawei as a company that 'invests in the future.' I told everyone in the company at that time , I would rather risk my life than use outdated technology.

Therefore, we watched UTStarcom, which was only established in 1995, go public in just 5 years with this outdated technology that I despised. In 2001, UTStarcom had only 2,300 employees.

Annual sales reached US$627 million, and the average profit rate in the three years from 2000 to 2002 was as high as 324%!

Although we can objectively assess that Huawei may not have achieved such outstanding results when we entered this industry. But I have to admit that it was my arbitrary judgment that caused Huawei to lose a period of rapid development. After all, if

With PHS’s investment, we can develop faster through the accumulation of team and funds.”
