In early November, it was still early autumn in Shenzhen, and the wind was biting, but the temperature was still over ten degrees. When the weather is warm, it can be around 20 degrees.
In Hon Hai’s campus.
Guo Taiming is summarizing various information in the office with his close subordinates. He usually does not come to Shencheng for work. Although the park here in Shencheng is the first campus he opened, it is of great significance.
But now he has to come.
Because Uber, a member of the Phoenix Group, has successfully been listed on the Hong Kong stock market, and the situation of AB shares, as of today, Uber's market value is as high as 400 billion Hong Kong dollars. Moreover, it is still rising slowly.
It is said that a large number of financial institutions on Hong Kong Island participated in the issuance, creating a harmonious atmosphere! But this was very unfriendly to him.
According to the news from friends, Mr. Jing of the Phoenix Group was very dissatisfied with what he said before, "I give them food to eat." He wanted to give him some color. Now, Li Jiacheng, the richest man in China, has been stripped of his face by Jing Gao and wants to
How is that possible if he is not nervous?
Feng Fuhong is fifty-three years old this year. He has followed Guo Taiming for many years. When he saw his boss frowning and sitting at the conference table, he suggested: "Mr. Guo, let's report it to the boss. We can always solve it."
Guo Taiming shook his head and threw the pencil in his hand on the conference table. "How to solve pure business competition?" He is 68 years old and has age spots on his face. He picked up the tea cup and drank tea and sighed: "Phoenix Group
Their strategy is very clear. They are about to join the competition in the foundry field."
There are many domestic mobile phone OEMs at present. The competition between BYD and Hon Hai is very fierce. Since 2005, he has clashed with BYD’s boss several times. BYD is now Huawei’s largest mobile phone supplier.
In addition, Hon Hai’s competitors include Luxshare Precision and US-owned Flextronics. In addition, some established mobile phone manufacturers have their own factories, and occasionally their production capacity is released to take over work.
Hon Hai’s profit is only about 5%. There are more and more players in this market, which makes Hon Hai’s living environment even worse. And some of his decisions to set up factories in India and North America have proven to be unfeasible.
Although the population here is beginning to age and young people are no longer willing to make money in sweatshops, the quality of skilled workers is still among the best in the world.
Feng Fuhong persuaded: "Mr. Guo, as long as we still have orders from Apple, there won't be much of a problem. If Phoenix joins the foundry, they will never be able to reduce their profits to 2% or 3% to accept Apple's orders."
Right? I don’t think Jing Gao is willing to do such a stupid thing."
Guo Taiming can have such a large industry. Even though he is old, he still has his vision. He said: "Old Feng, in the future, it is very likely that what we will compete for is not Apple's orders, but how much money the workers on the production line can pay. If
Is the Phoenix Group raising the salary in this area? I think it will be difficult for us to compete with it. So, can there be no conflict or not? I heard that Jing Gao has been in Shenzhen recently?"
Another assistant said: "Yes, Mr. Guo. We have learned from some friends that he has a schedule to inspect Huawei's factory in the near future. The two parties have already coordinated."
Guo Taiming was somewhat surprised, "Huawei is actually willing to let him take people to visit?"
There has always been an "interesting story" in the domestic mobile phone manufacturing industry. When Rebus wanted to create Xiaomi, through the relationship with Zhuhai, Kingsoft's headquarters was in Zhuhai. He visited Meizu in Zhuhai and learned how to do it.
The process of mobile phones was understood. Then, Xiaomi was established and took off.
So much so that when Meizu and Xiaomi were competitors for a while, Meizu’s founder Huang Zhang would accuse Rebus of plagiarism, being dishonest, and stealing Meizu’s trade secrets.
At the time, many people still believed this: Maybe Rebus had really copied Meizu’s belongings.
But now, in 2017, this is a joke. At most, Rebus learned all aspects of mobile phone manufacturing in detail through visits, but Meizu gave Rebus the core design data and his list of supply chain manufacturers.
Si looked at it and no one would believe it.
Now Xiaomi is one of the top five mobile phone manufacturers in China, while Meizu is so far behind. This can only show that Rebus is very capable! Plagiarism is nonsense. Others can do better than you if they plagiarize.
Not reflective?
Phoenix Group owns a Coolpad mobile phone. Isn’t Huawei afraid that Coolpad will “plagiarize” them?
The assistant said: "Yes."
Guo Taiming remained silent and said: "Let's contact the people in Phoenix. I hope the two sides can turn the conflict into friendship. Those words I just need to say for the election campaign do not represent my true thoughts."

November 2. The sky is clear and windless. Huawei headquarters.
The head of the department responsible for receiving visitors was waiting downstairs early. A bus came slowly and stopped downstairs. This was Huawei's internal bus.
Jing Gao, An Xiaoqian, Dong Youwei, An Xiaoqian’s assistant, and several senior executives from Coolpad followed down.
The top management of Coolpad Mobile has been changed a long time ago. Among them are the executives recruited by Liu Sumei from headhunters, the middle-level cadres promoted by Coolpad Mobile, and the old subordinates brought by An Xiaoqian from Haiyi Group. Haiyi Group has already
Full integration with Phoenix Group.
An Xiaoqian also made the decision to recruit a senior executive from Huawei to serve as the vice president of supply chain management for Coolpad.
“Mr. Jing, welcome. My name is Han Miao, and my colleagues and I will be in charge of your visit today.” The department head is a female general in her forties, wearing a dark red skirt and well-dressed.
"Hello. I'm going to thank you for your hard work today." Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with her. After she finished greetings, everyone walked into the building together.
First of all, Huawei’s campus, the shape of the building, and the layout inside left a deep impression on Jing Gao.
This is not like an office at all, but more like a five-star hotel. He has done his homework before. Dong Youwei and others showed him some public internal speeches, information, photos, and videos of Huawei.
Huawei is very willing to invest in the construction of office space. The building is magnificent and shaped like various works of art. The facilities inside the building really surprised him.
When it comes to office space, his first impression is of cubicles. No matter how powerful the company is, most of them are like this. Huawei is outrageous. The offices here at the headquarters are very luxurious, a bit like enterprises and institutions.
The style inside.
“Mr. Jing, please come this way! Mr. Xu is waiting for you in his office.” Han Miao smiled and led the way.
The first step in today’s visit is to communicate with Mr. Xu, Huawei’s rotating chairman.
Huawei's organizational structure is different from other companies. They implement a rotating chairman system. Jing Gao doesn't know how the outside world interprets it, nor how it is interpreted internally at Huawei. He has a perspective.
During the Tang Dynasty, there were sometimes three, five, or seven prime ministers. According to the established rules, the emperor was only in charge of officials of the third rank. After that, the prime ministers were in charge. The struggle between imperial power and prime minister power is a history.
The subject of sex.
Jing Gao once read an online article about the "rotating political pen" that the great god highly praised. The first is to ensure the emperor's control, and the second is to ensure that no prime minister becomes confused and makes a wrong decision.
Huawei's corporate system has long been studied by many researchers. Founder Ren only retains the "one-vote veto power", accounting for a little more than 1% of the shares. He does not speak out in the company like other founders.
So, according to Jinggao, Huawei adopts a rotation system to prevent individuals from making wrong decisions, and it also comes with an error correction mechanism.
"please!"
