Ren Zhengfei noticed the change in Cao Weidong's eyes and couldn't help but ask.
Cao Weidong came back from his trance, shook his head slightly, and said casually.
"It's okay. I have heard about your company for a long time and know that it is a technology company with great potential. In principle, I welcome cooperation with Huawei. I just don't know how you want to cooperate with us?"
Ren Zhengfei said curiously.
"Mr. Cao, please explain in detail what cooperation methods you have."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"There are two cooperation models."
He suddenly figured out something.
The smart city plan represents China's pursuit and ambition in the semiconductor field. In the process of building a smart city, it will inevitably involve many complex advanced technologies, including communications, intelligence, energy, the Internet, etc.
These technological innovations will bring long-term competitive advantages to China’s technological development and generate technological transformation in other fields.
This is a big cake.
Regardless of whether Cao Weidong is willing or not, in the future, he will embark on the path of cooperation with other technology companies, and even with scientific research institutions and technology companies in other countries.
Such cooperation helps share costs, share experience, and promote the advancement of global smart technology.
With this understanding, Cao Weidong decided to make some preparations in advance.
He wants to build a platform, a big science and technology alliance, a platform that can share science and technology and promote common progress for everyone.
certainly.
This platform is by no means a technology mutual aid association that robs the rich and helps the poor.
Cao Weidong has never believed in the nonsense of "technology without borders", so he gave up the advanced technology that he invested massive resources and worked hard to research to others, in the name of helping backward children...
Pooh!
If someone really suggested that, Cao Weidong would definitely spit in his face.
Therefore, this platform must have national power involved to ensure that the most advanced scientific research results can stay in the country.
Huawei is the first member of this technology alliance.
Cao Weidong had some expectations in his heart, but his tone remained calm.
"The first cooperation model is relatively simple. We will invite bids, and the requirement is to complete the telecommunications communication foundation necessary to build a smart city. If your company's products meet the conditions, you can bid."
"Of course, according to regulations, we invite public bidding."
Ren Zhengfei smiled and said: "You can rest assured that our products will definitely meet your requirements in terms of quality and price."
This is actually the cooperation model that Ren Zhengfei wants to achieve.
Xinghuo made a request, Huawei met the request and completed the order.
It's all that simple.
However, Ren Zhengfei heard another layer of meaning hidden in Cao Weidong's words, so he asked again.
"Mr. Cao, I don't know what form the second cooperation model you mentioned is in place?"
Cao Weidong chuckled and continued to talk.
"In fact, in order to build a smart city, I established the Spark Science and Technology Alliance. The purpose of our alliance is very simple. It is to promote the implementation of science and technology cities as soon as possible through exchanges among members of the alliance."
"Of course, members of the alliance enjoy benefits. For example, patent interactive applications, technical exchanges, etc."
Ren Zhengfei immediately stood up.
"Can we join in too?"
Cao Weidong nodded.
Ren Zhengfei was very interested in becoming a member of the Spark Technology Alliance, but he still asked cautiously.
"Mr. Cao, I wonder who are the current members of the Spark Technology Alliance and what conditions do we need to pay?"
Cao Weidong said directly without blinking.
"Oh, several research institutes under the Ministry of Science and Technology are our members. As for other domestic technology companies, we are still in contact."
This is not a lie either.
The state is very supportive of the smart city plan. It would not be a big problem to bring a few research institutes to the alliance to show off.
As for the admission conditions...
Cao Weidong continued.
"You need to pay membership fees every year and arrange for scientific researchers to join the research. In addition, you must also sign an agreement to ensure that the application of technology will not harm national interests..."
"As for the research results, they will be divided within the alliance according to the degree of contribution."
He plans to implement a task system within the alliance and issue some tasks to promote smart cities. Each member can accept tasks and complete tasks through collaboration.
Of course, in order to prevent some companies from fishing in troubled waters and failing to produce work, he will also formulate some systems to restrain and manage the members of the alliance.
When he heard Cao Weidong shouting out the astronomical membership fee, Ren Zhengfei's mouth twitched visibly.
Even with the size of their company, if they pay this amount all at once, they will still feel distressed for a long time.
But when he thought about the benefits that the alliance would bring to his company, he immediately made a decision.
"Mr. Cao, you hope to join the Alliance and are willing to arrange for our company's internal researchers to participate. However, the money is a bit high. I hope you can give me some time."
Now it was Cao Weidong's turn to be a little confused.
"Oh, don't you need to go back and think about it?"
Ren Zhengfei said decisively.
"Need not!"
Cao Weidong was silent for a moment, shook hands with Ren Zhengfei, and said with a smile: "Then...you are welcome to join."
........
After separating from Ren Zhengfei, Cao Weidong returned to the office and sorted out the organizational chart and rules and regulations of the Tongmenghui as quickly as possible. Then he took this relatively simple plan to find the leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
It was already getting late at this time, but the lights in Leader Wen's office were still bright. When he opened the door and walked in, he could see Leader Wen wearing glasses and working at his desk.
He saw Cao Weidong and smiled.
"Comrade Cao, why are you here?"
Cao Weidong walked in with packed meals.
"Leader Wen, I heard that you are still working overtime, so I came here to see you."
Leader Wen's face darkened.
"Xiao Zhao told you, right? This kid also..."
Xiao Zhao is Leader Wen’s secretary.
Before visiting leader Wen, Cao Weidong called him.
Through Xiao Zhao, Cao Weidong knew that Leader Wen was still working overtime and had not eaten dinner, so he asked Sha Zhu to prepare the meal and pick it up on the way.
Cao Weidong smiled, took the food out of the lunch box, placed it on the table next to him, and then took out two glasses and a bottle of white wine.
Leader Wen said happily.
"It's still Maotai. I've been good at it for so many years."
The food was good and the wine was good, so Leader Wen put down what he was doing, sat on a chair at the dining table, and took a sip from his wine glass.
After drinking, Leader Wen said.
"You, little comrade, always go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Tell me, what happened this time?"
Cao Weidong smiled and took out the plan he wrote without feeling embarrassed.
"Leader Wen, I want to set up a science and technology alliance, please take a look."
Leader Wen was completely shocked.
He took the plan and read it several times, laughing.
