Chapter 1121 Escort for the country and the company
In the previous life, even Ren Weitian's Guowei Company experienced several major life-and-death events, each of which could change the fate of Guowei Company. If there was even the slightest mistake, Guowei Company would cease to exist. For example, Guowei Company would cease to exist in the next two years.
There was a big crisis.
In the plan written by Ren Weitian, Liu Lang saw that Guowei Company was planning to invest heavily in a switch called "JK1000".
This is a telephone switch used by Guowei Company for China's telecommunications field, using traditional air separation simulation technology.
In this era, the domestic fixed-line telephone market is facing a huge gap. At the same time, the fixed-line telephone penetration rate in developed countries in Europe and the United States has reached 90%, while in China it is only 1%. Therefore, Ren Weitian predicts that China’s telephone penetration rate will
The rate will only reach about 6% in two thousand years, and traditional analog switches will still have a market.
It was just 1991, and there were still nearly ten years before the year 2000, so Ren Weitian resolutely bet on this kind of digital simulation machine and spent a large sum of money, probably tens of millions.
In 1992, these analog switches did bring sales of nearly 100 million yuan to Guowei.
However, at that time, Guowei clearly underestimated the development speed of the Chinese market. In 1993, Siemens and Alcatel introduced more advanced and powerful digital switches to the market, which directly led to the traditional analog switches independently developed by Guowei.
The switch JK1000 directly became cannon fodder.
At that time, the scale of Guowei Company could only be considered medium, and its ability to bear risks was very weak. If it was not handled properly, it would result in being eliminated. In fact, let alone them, the Wanan Company in the previous life fell into the personal computer business, a decision mistake.
This brought a super company with billions of dollars in assets to a dead end.
Fortunately, Ren Weitian made a decisive decision and Lowow invested all his money in the research and development of new digital switches with the fearless spirit of a decisive battle.
The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. Executives who experienced that battle many years later recalled that because of the heavy investment in research and development, the government could hardly afford to pay wages and could only give employees free money. In 1993,
Ren Weitian, who is nearly fifty years old, stood by the window on the fifth floor of the Shenzhen Industrial Building. He was unusually calm and resolute, and told his subordinates: If this research and development fails, then I will have no choice but to jump off the building. You can still do it.
Find another way out.
Ren Weitian single-handedly shouldered a huge debt, and with a do-or-die attitude, his cruelty to himself also pushed Guowei to a desperate situation.
It was also with this kind of courage that Guowei survived the desperate situation and developed a newly developed digital program-controlled switch that became an instant success. It won orders worth more than one billion yuan and successfully expanded overseas markets. It was once sold to more than 50 countries around the world and has since then embarked on a successful journey.
A powerful path.
These were Guowei's development experiences in his previous life, which were full of ups and downs. However, after meeting Liu Lang in this life, their path became much easier.
Ren Weitian wanted to make an analog switch, but Liu Lang stopped him directly. He also ridiculed him for being too "low". If he wanted to do it, he had to do it in one step and directly develop a digital switch.
Ren Weitian was still dissatisfied at the time and came up with his own theory that ordinary people in China could not afford landline phones. As a result, Liu Lang took out a pen and calculated the cost-effectiveness of the digital switch on paper, and then compared it with the cost-effectiveness of the analog machine.
Five times that of the former. Besides, the world is about to enter the era of globalization. Which one do you think the country will popularize? Any fool can make a judgment.
Data conceals the truth, but the truth is hidden in the data. Ren Weitian has always used his own judgment as the company's decision-making direction, but at this moment, Ren Weitian felt that he was naive, but in front of Liu Lang, he was
More like a child, and at the same time he also saw what data analysis is.
Of course, this is Liu Lang's way of convincing people with reason. He can also use other methods to "force" the other party to submit, such as withdrawing capital. But how can Liu Lang be so "Low"? He has a hundred ways to make the other party submit.
Be convinced, take it orally, and admire it externally.
The development of digital switches has become a product developed by Guowei Company. For this reason, Ren Weitian spent more than 200,000 US dollars to purchase one.
In his previous life, he spent more than half a year developing his own product. The total research and development expenses were more than 20 million yuan. At that time, he not only invested all the funds in it, but also paid back a loan of more than 10 million yuan.
This was much easier. Liu Lang gave him sufficient funds and hired several American experts. It would take at least five or six months to complete it, so he and Liu Lang focused on the small local area network.
On construction.
The core of a small LAN is the base station chip, which is similar to the chip in the switch, but more complex. If the base station chip is developed, the switch chip will be just a by-product.
In the next year, Guowei Company will focus on this, which is what Liu Lang meant.
However, it seems that the situation has changed now, and the country has also focused on the communications industry, which may accelerate the development of Guowei companies.
When Liu Lang informed Ren Weitian of the country's intentions, the other party was of course very happy. He felt that Liu Lang must have helped. Of course, now that Liu Lang was also the major shareholder of Guowei Company, he was also helping himself by doing so.
However, Liu Lang is not as optimistic as Ren Weitian. The country will inevitably increase its investment in communications. At least Guowei Company will no longer face any obstacles in the construction of local area networks. This is a good thing.
But the country will not put its eggs in one basket and will probably set up its own company to develop the communications industry.
Of course, this is a good thing for the country, and Liu Lang will naturally support it with both hands. Moreover, doing so will also help stimulate Guowei companies and make them feel pressure.
Liu Lang did not leave, so he stayed in the capital first, and then took Ren Weitian to visit Huaxia Industrial Technology Co., Ltd. and meet with the president of Huaxia University. After all, the two companies would cooperate in the future.
Ren Weitian is eager to cooperate with Huaxia University, not only in building a local area network platform, but also in the exchange of relevant technical talents. We need in-depth cooperation, not superficial cooperation.
However, the cooperation between Guowei Company and Huaxia University must be put aside for the time being. After all, Guowei Company has not yet developed a product, but the cooperation between Norinco and Huaxia University will begin now.
Huaxia Industrial Technology Co., Ltd.'s technology in smelting furnaces, CNC machine tools, and engines is definitely top-notch in the country. It has applied for more than a hundred national patents. However, these technologies only stay in the design aspect and do not develop products by themselves. After all, Huaxia Industrial Technology Co., Ltd.
The purpose of the company is to develop technology and then use technology to
For example, the second-generation stainless steel smelting furnace technology was sold to Jinling Pressure Vessel Factory. Now Jinling Pressure Vessel Factory has become a well-known enterprise in the country with the annual sales of more than 100 stainless steel smelting furnaces. Huaxia Industrial Technology
Co., Ltd. will receive more than two million yuan in revenue from the stainless steel smelting furnace every year.
Now Huaxia Industrial Technology Co., Ltd. is developing a third-generation stainless steel smelting furnace. Once successful, it will reach the level of an international second-rate stainless steel smelting furnace and can smelt higher-quality stainless steel and other types of high-quality strength steel. Liu Lang predicts that this technology will be used within three years.
A breakthrough can be achieved, and by then the material problem of China's large aircraft can be solved to some extent.
