Zeng Liqing said that the Huafeng mobile phone production line was handed over to Foxconn.

Mr. Ren laughed and said, "What a coincidence, Huawei is right next to Foxconn in the Longhua Industrial Park. Let's just ask these electronics factory bosses to come to Longhua and hold an electronics suppliers conference so that we can discuss it together."

"This relationship is great! I'll tell Mr. Guo of Foxconn and we can definitely make it happen."

Zeng Liqing was overjoyed.

Originally, according to his intention, he wanted to convene a gathering of these electronics factory suppliers in the name of Mr. Guo Foxconn.

Jointly customize production standards for Huafeng mobile phones.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ren’s enthusiasm was astonishing.

Volunteered to do him a big favor.

I believe that if these electronics factory CEOs are summoned in the dual names of Mr. Ren and Mr. Guo, who would dare not to give them face?

There are many electronics factories in Shenzhen.

But among these electronics factories, who doesn’t know President Ren of Huawei and President Guo of Foxconn?

In Shenzhen City, when driving from Meilin Pass to Meiguan Expressway, you can see a road sign in the distance that says "Foxconn-Huawei".

This pioneering city that symbolizes openness has given birth to two industrial giants with very different paths:

Foxconn is in the west and is the pride of manufacturing; Huawei is in the east and is technological ambition.

Both companies are in the electronics industry, but their products are different.

Although they are next to each other, there is no overlap between the two.

Not only did Mr. Ren and Mr. Guo not have any friendship, they even had a bit of animosity.

At that time, Mr. Ren made up his mind to pursue independent research and development. Starting in 1992, he began to set up scholarships at prestigious universities and recruited talents in science and engineering. Later, Huawei established a research institute in Beijing, a city with many universities. Mr. Ren once went to inspect and felt that there were too few people.

, the then director argued that there were too many people and there was nothing to do. Mr. Ren said angrily, "Just do it when I tell you to do it. If you have nothing to do, you can just recruit people to wash the sand."

In 1998, Huawei recruited 800 graduates from all over the country. The next year, another 2,000 graduates went south to Shenzhen. It is said that Huawei made a bold statement at a college recruitment fair, "All engineering master's degrees are required, and the top ten undergraduates are also required."

Want them all!" Huawei recruiters even sneaked into the boys' dormitory of the top 10 universities. When they saw the boys playing games, they walked over and asked: Classmates, have you found a job?

In 2000, the monthly salary of a master's degree holder at Huawei could reach 8,800 yuan, and there was also a year-end dividend of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. It was much higher than that of ordinary companies in Shenzhen. On one side, fresh graduates earned high incomes at Huawei, and on the other side, Mr. Ren borrowed loan sharks to make money.

Regarding wages, it is said that during the most difficult times, Huawei also formulated an internal policy: Anyone who can borrow 10 million from the company will not have to work for a year, and their wages will still be paid.

Later, Mr. Guo of Foxconn couldn't help but complain, "Mr. Ren's Huawei company is right next door. Many of our colleagues resigned and went to Huawei, and they all got twice the salary."

As a result, more employees quit after hearing their bosses complain.

The two companies took advantage of China's reform and opening up to take off in mainland China.

Mr. Guo of Foxconn has been labeled by the media as the "Boss of Private Manufacturing" and "The Richest Man in Bay Area Technology". From connectors, molds, to casings, and motherboards, Foxconn has swallowed up the entire

The computer manufacturing chain has obtained the production license from Intel, the PC chip overlord, and is deeply bound to Intel.

According to Mr. Guo's plan, Shenzhen and Yangcheng produce desktop computers, China Shipping and Suzhou and Hangzhou produce portable digital products, and Beijing and Jincheng engage in wireless communications. Foxconn can cover all assembly links. Foxconn can do what others cannot.

What others can do, Foxconn can do it faster and cheaper.

From Sony, Nokia and Motorola to Apple's iPod, the consumer electronics industry is inseparable from Foxconn.

Huawei also overcame the difficulties and relied on high-tech and low-price telecommunications equipment to grab orders around the world and began to transform and develop mobile phones.

If Huafeng Mobile had not come out suddenly, Huawei Mobile would have first cooperated with operators to produce customized mobile phones, and then operate the Huawei brand, becoming the largest mobile phone manufacturer in China.

Zeng Liqing heard that Mr. Ren was willing to take the initiative to help.

Although I am happy, I understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

He smiled and said: "Mr. Ren, thank you in advance for this. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you with your visit to our company this time?"

Mr. Ren laughed and said, "Well, as I said just now, Huawei is also developing mobile phones. Although we are peers, there are more opportunities for cooperation."

He paused and said slowly: "Originally, our mobile phone project was to cooperate with operators to produce customized mobile phones. The functions of the mobile phones are similar to those of Nokia. But we carefully watched the Huafeng mobile phone press conference and learned more about Huafeng mobile phones.

performance. I admit that in the mobile phone industry, our Huawei is still far behind."

Mr. Ren sighed: "I plan to overthrow Huawei's mobile phone research and development and start over. We must develop something like Huafeng mobile phone. Whether it is design or software and hardware, Huawei is not bad. I sincerely hope to cooperate with Mr. Zeng

, exchange patents, help each other, and jointly build a mobile phone industrial park."

Zeng Liqing understood it as soon as he heard it.

No wonder Mr. Ren was so enthusiastic and helped him make an appointment with the boss of the electronics factory for tea.

It turns out that Huawei also wants to build a mobile phone production line. Maybe Huawei's mobile phone production line will be built at Foxconn.

Although Huawei clearly states that it also produces mobile phones.

But Zeng Liqing is really not worried about Huawei and him competing now.

The two parties jointly produce smartphones and take over the market of feature phones from Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and other brands.

During the market development period of at least five years, both parties are in the honeymoon period.

Zeng Liqing smiled knowingly, "Haha, Mr. Ren. What a coincidence. Since we have licensed the appearance patent of Huafeng mobile phone to Apple, of course we can also license it to Huawei. And the operating system running on the mobile phone was obtained by us from the United States.

It was customized by Android company Andy Rubin, and we own all the intellectual property rights.”

"That's great." Upon hearing this, Mr. Ren knew that Huafeng Mobile attaches great importance to research and development, and he holds all the key patents.

Zeng Liqing smiled and said: "Also, Director Ye from our parent company Qingfeng Group said that the operating system of Huafeng mobile phone - Android system will be open sourced to the world and free for everyone to use."

"Ah~"

Even for a veteran like Mr. Ren who is used to big storms, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Open source? Free?"

Mr. Ren was shocked.

Coming with Mr. Ren, the members of the Huawei technical advisory team behind him were also stunned.

Huawei is willing to use the operating system it has developed with great difficulty to make it free and open source for everyone to use?

Of course they know that open source, the full name of open source code, means that users use source code and follow the open source agreement to use, compile and redistribute it.

Although everyone can modify it, open source systems also have copyrights and are protected by law.

When using open source products, users must not only indicate that the products come from open source software and indicate the name of the source code writer, but also return the modified products to the open source software, otherwise the modified products may be considered infringement.

To put it simply, for example, Huafeng Mobile has developed the most basic framework of the Android system and made it open source.

Mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei can use their source code to develop, modify and upgrade systems that match their own.

But because the basic source code comes from Android, and developers must inform the open source software company of any improvements to the source code, this will help the open source company further improve the source code.

The more people use it, the faster the system develops.

Zeng Liqing looked around.

I am quite satisfied with the unexpected expressions of these people at Huawei.

Just like when he heard Ye Feng make this decision.

Zeng Liqing said with a smile: I believe that having a technologically powerful company like Huawei join the Android mobile phone camp will make a huge contribution to the development and growth of the Android system."

"Haha, Mr. Zeng deserves the prize. Your company has made a good move."

Mr. Ren knew that he was Mr. Ren and quickly adjusted his mentality.

Is it difficult to develop mobile phone systems?

It may be difficult for others, but for Huawei's technical level, it is not difficult to develop a mobile operating system.

But now there is an advanced, free and open source system.

Why does Huawei still bother to develop its own mobile phone system?

I believe that other manufacturers interested in smartphones have the same idea.

"Sure enough, free is the way to go, and free is the most expensive."

Mr. Ren quickly wanted to understand why Director Ye announced that the Zhuo system was free and open source.

He became even more curious about the Director Ye Zeng Li Qing mentioned.

The young man who was talking eloquently at the press conference appeared in front of me again.

"It's strange to say that Mr. Zeng is so young in his thirties, but that Director Ye seems to have achieved such success in his twenties? Am I really old?"
