Chapter 387 The hero today is only Huawei and logic.
The relationship between Huawei and Hong Kong is like an old father and his independent son who has left home.
The old father felt sorry for his son, so he not only gave him money, but also handed over the agency rights for some high-end equipment, so that the business would not have to be started from scratch.
But there is one thing: under no circumstances can you compete with your old father in the same industry, let alone join forces with outsiders to shake the foundation of Huawei's business.
However, Li Yinan, who was regarded as "Ren Zhengfei's godson", did it all and stabbed him in the back.
Not satisfied with the territory given by Ren Zhengfei at all, he launched an army to rebel and conquer. Not only did he grab business, but he also cooperated with capital to obtain large sums of financing, and hired people with high salaries overtly and covertly.
In the 21st century, what is the most expensive? Talent!
Having core talents means stealing Huawei's core technologies and business secrets.
As a result, in just three or four years, in the field of broadband IP products, the sales ratio of Harbor and Huawei in the telecommunications market and other industry markets has been halved. Not only are they not Huawei's direct relatives and allies, they are also Huawei's grave diggers.
people.
Especially in the two years of 2003 and 2004, Cisco overseas accused Huawei of plagiarism and infringement of its routers. However, the overlap between the two was less than 2%. In order to discredit Huawei, it spent US$150 million on public relations.
Under such internal and external troubles, Ren Zhengfei's pressure doubled and he suffered from depression.
Even Sun Yafang and other senior Huawei executives were disheartened and planned to sell the company to Motorola for US$7.5 billion. Unexpectedly, the company had already reached the final step of signing the contract. As a result, Motorola's board of directors underwent a major personnel change.
The old CEO stepped down and the new CEO vetoed the deal. It must be said that there was some kind of luck.
"At that time, I decided not to sell it!"
Ren Zhengfei was sitting in the reception room, talking eloquently: "Isn't it just Shangganling? Deal with him! In the end, we won."
"Mr. Ren, you are tough enough!"
Lu Fei gave a thumbs up and praised him.
Ren Zhengfei waved his hand: "I don't care whether it's tough or not, the only thing in my heart is to fight against the outside world and keep the inside at bay."
"Thanks to logic, you not only defeated Samsung and strengthened the momentum of China Technology Company, but your legal support was also the key to Huawei's reconciliation with Cisco."
As soon as Sun Yafang said this, everyone, including Ren Zhengfei, agreed.
Lu Fei raised his lips: "So the next step is An Nei."
"That's right, I, Ren Zhengfei, am by no means a stingy person. I can't tolerate a harbor in my eyes."
Ren Zhengfei said with a straight face: "If there were only a few projects and dozens of people, I wouldn't even ask. But Harbor has gone too far. There are hundreds of people, customer resources, and technical secrets. Recently, I have been unsatisfied."
Steal people, steal technology, and bribe our people.
Let these guys work as undercover agents, not only to steal information, but also to deliberately avoid and passively respond to projects and markets in related fields of the harbor..."
"I didn't expect it to be so extreme!"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, and finally understood why Huawei did not hesitate to destroy Hong Kong and knock on the mountain to shock the tiger!
Once the treacherous son of Harbor survives and is still alive and well, there will be a very bad example, and then there will be the second, third, and Nth Harbor.
You must know that many of Huawei's old employees have enough entrepreneurial capital and technology. Maybe Huawei will be torn apart from within.
"Mr. Ren, Mr. Lu is here this time to support Huawei."
Sun Hongjun got straight to the point. At the same time, in the technical, industrial and trade camp, help is help, but help cannot be in vain.
State the conditions directly. After the harbor is eliminated, Huawei can acquire technology patents such as routers, optical networks, Ethernet switches, integrated access equipment, and even the entire harbor.
But Logic wants to get a share of the pie, and it needs to pick off some of Hong Kong’s talented people.
Ren Zhengfei, Sun Yafang and others have been prepared for this. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
When they learned that Logic was recruiting people for its newly established mobile phone department, they breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Lu plans to develop a self-developed brand?"
"Yes, the innovation of MP3 has reached its upper limit. Instead of investing in MP4, it is better to invest in mobile phones in one step."
Lu Fei probed: "Huawei has recently established a terminal department. Does it also have plans to make mobile phones?"
"Huawei only makes communications, not mobile phones!"
Ren Zhengfei frankly said that entering the overseas 3G market requires supporting mobile phones, and Huawei Terminal specializes in OEM machines for operators.
"Mr. Ren, then we are on a par with each other. You will do your communications and OEM machines, and I will do my own mobile phones."
Lu Fei looked around and noticed that something was wrong with the faces of Sun Yafang and others. They made it clear that they wanted to do it but did not dare to do it because they were forced by the authority of Boss Ren.
"But Mr. Lu, I want to remind you that anyone who can betray Huawei's secrets may betray logic in the future."
Ren Zhengfei couldn't help but let down his guard. What he was most worried about was that Logic was poaching people and engaging in communications. Logic's strength far exceeded that of Harbor.
"Don't worry, logic is not a garbage collection bin. Of course, we don't want this kind of garbage with criminal records."
Lu Fei raised his lips, "If you betray me the first time, you will betray me countless times."
"You are absolutely right, but there are a few people. Please don't use your logic no matter what."
Ren Zhengfei named them, all of whom were senior executives of the harbor. When he mentioned "Li Yinan", he gritted his teeth and made a sound.
"no problem."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes and recruited the number one traitor to the company. Isn't it just killing the chicken to show the monkey? He learned another trick.
The two reached a preliminary cooperation tacitly, verbally reached a non-aggression pact, and then discussed the strategy of conquering the harbor.
"I think besides not allowing Harbor to have a turnover but not make any money, the more important thing is that it must not be listed."
Lu Fei crossed his legs and said: "Once listed, Hong Kong will be easily controlled by Western capital. At that time, major international companies will be able to blatantly steal the communication technology Huawei has accumulated over more than ten years."
"Mr. Lu, you and I think exactly the same. We are really heroes."
Ren Zhengfei said with emotion: "This round of siege not only deals with the harbor, but also the Western capital. These funds are the instigators, and they really use any means. Therefore, Huawei has no way out and can only fight with these funds resolutely."
"
No matter who is investing in Western capital, I, Mr. Lu, will definitely help!
Lu Fei didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Mr. Ren, Huawei is having difficulty with its capital turnover?"
"It can't be called difficult, at least we got through the most difficult winter."
Ren Zhengfei said: "However, the income has decreased a bit, and the money spent outside continues to increase."
In fact, the situation is far more serious than what is said. Not to mention the heavy investment in the Hong Kong Office to crack down on the port, the investment in R&D is comparable to that of a gold-eating beast, especially the bumpy 3G project. Huawei has spent more than 5 billion RMB in 10 years.
.
If domestic 3G licenses are not issued for a long time, we will have no choice but to rush out of Asia and fight our way out under the encirclement and suppression of European, American and Japanese foreign companies.
The price war, legal war, and media war it faces alone are enough to worsen Huawei's financial situation, not to mention the cost of expansion.
Ren Zhengfei has come up with the idea of virtual restricted shares again, "fooling" employees to continue to buy insider shares with dividends and bonuses.
"Isn't Huawei going to be listed on the market?" Lu Fei asked knowingly.
Ren Zhengfei asked: "If we don't go public, is it logical to go public?"
"Not listed."
Lu Fei smacked his lips, who is a serious technology company going public?
Ren Zhengfei couldn't help but look at him with admiration, this guy's temperament suits me!
"If Huawei needs funds, Mr. Ren can say whatever he wants. It may not be available with more than one billion US dollars, but it can still squeeze out more than one billion RMB."
Lu Fei spoke with emotional intelligence. He never talked about excuses, but was optimistic about Huawei's prospects and was willing to help Huawei overcome difficulties.
"More than a billion!?"
The senior executives of Huawei were shocked and looked at each other. They all knew that Mr. Lu had made a fortune, but they didn’t expect that Mr. Lu was so rich!
Ren Zhengfei couldn't help but be moved. Xiao Lu was able to deal with it, and he really stepped forward when there were difficulties. He was not polite and said:
"Don't ask for more, just 200 million. Originally, I planned to spend 600 million in three years to compete with Hong Kong and strive to defeat Hong Kong within three years. If there are more than 200 million, then it will be 400 million in two years.
Coupled with the help of logic, the battle can be resolved in one and a half years at the earliest."
Lu Fei took a sip of tea and suggested that Logic lend 100 million, the 100 million claimed by the Trisolaris Fund.
"Oh, Mr. Lu is so optimistic about Huawei, don't apologize!" Ren Zhengfei laughed and joked.
"To be honest, Mr. Ren said, I still think 100 million is too little."
Lu Fei tapped him with his finger, then pointed at himself, and said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"Today's heroes are only Mr. Ren and Fei."
"Hiss~"
Ren Zhengfei suppressed his smile, waved his hand and said modestly: "I don't want to be a hero, I am just a bear."
"By the way, Mr. Ren, I have formed a 'Chinese Renaissance Association'. The members are all entrepreneurs. They meet regularly every year. They help each other within their ability and exchange some business experiences and insights with each other. If not
If you catch a cold, you can quit at any time."
Lu Fei smiled brightly, "I would like to invite Mr. Ren, a highly respected senior, to join us. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Who are the members?" Ren Zhengfei asked.
Lu Fei told the truth about the purpose of the revival association, and also reported the members and the list of people he planned to invite to join the association.
Ren Zhengfei thought for a moment and couldn't help but think, "Since Mr. Lu doesn't dislike me, an old guy, and sincerely extends the invitation, then I'll join in."
Lu Fei's heart is filled with joy, all the heroes in the world are in my arms!
