Chapter One Hundred and Forty-One Gives Yu Dazui Guidance
At Lin Chen's suggestion, the two future bosses of Huawei Mobile, Lin Chen and Ren Zhengfei, a total of four people, left the reception and came to a nearby box, where they sat down to sip tea and chat about the
The future development of Huawei mobile phones.
Lin Chen was not a professional after all, so he didn't know much about how Huawei Mobile could improve its technology and expand its market.
But firstly, he has his own golden finger, and secondly, he has the memory before his rebirth. These two double insurances allow him to see further in the field of mobile phones than anyone else in the world.
"Lao Yu... you don't mind if I call you this? Okay, Lao Yu, since you have agreed to serve as the CEO of Huawei Mobile, as the current boss of Huawei Mobile, I have no idea about the future development direction of Huawei Mobile
I have some opinions that I hope you will listen to. But I must explain in advance that I hope that the future development of Huawei mobile phones will completely follow the direction I will mention later. This is an order and you can only accept it."
Hearing what Lin Chen said in an almost harsh tone, Yu Chendong frowned slightly.
He could understand that the new officer would take the lead in taking office, but he felt that such an important matter as the company's future development direction should be discussed with more people before making a decision.
Therefore, Lin Chen now asked Yu Chendong to do as he said in the future. This inevitably made Yu Chendong feel a little dissatisfied. He felt that Lin Chen lacked respect for him, and also felt that this person was not responsible for the company's management.
The attitude seems a bit childish.
But when Lin Chen said the next words, Yu Chendong's eyes gradually widened.
Because what Lin Chen said was completely consistent with Yu Chendong’s past thoughts about Huawei mobile phones!
"Lao Yu, I have four views on the future of the company."
"First, the company's products must stick to the Huawei brand in the future."
"Second, the company will abandon all operator customized business. The future of mobile phones lies in high-end models, and smartphones are the future of the mobile phone industry. All existing feature phone businesses must be stopped. The research and development of new low-end phones
Also pause."
"Third, we should give priority to using our own technology at all times rather than purchasing products from other companies. Especially chips."
“Fourth and last, I hope Huawei Mobile’s future development goal is to become the world’s number one mobile phone manufacturer.”
Yu Chendong opened his mouth wide and blinked.
"Mr. Lin, may I take the liberty of asking you something?"
"Please tell me."
"Can you read minds?"
Ren Zhengfei frowned: "You Yu, why are you talking?"
"No, Mr. Ren. I'm just surprised that Mr. Lin's views are completely consistent with mine. If Mr. Lin hadn't been able to read minds, it would have been a coincidence!"
Lin Chen smiled. Of course he didn't know how to read minds, but the four points he just proposed were originally Yu Chendong's strategic goals for Huawei Mobile in the future.
Because of these goals, Yu Chendong was nicknamed Big Mouth at that time, and they thought he was bragging.
But the world is so wonderful. A few years later, all of Yu Chendong’s goals were realized!
Of course, from the time Yu Chendong took over Huawei Mobile to the time he finally proposed this goal, he spent almost a year conducting research. Lin Chen proposed it now to save time and allow Yu Chendong to avoid detours.
"Old Yu, there is no mind-reading ability in this world. This is what heroes think alike."
"That's right, the hero sees the same thing!" Yu Chendong said with a smile.
Ren Zhengfei also smiled. He now somewhat understood why Lin Chen found Yu Chendong as the head of Huawei Mobile. Any boss would hope to have a subordinate who thinks the same as him.
"Director Lin..."
Unknowingly, Yu Chendong had changed his name to Lin Chen, which also represented his inner recognition of Lin Chen.
"Although I have no doubts about the direction you have set, to be honest, as far as I know, it is really difficult to make mobile phones. Our mobile phone technology in China is completely inferior to those of overseas mobile phone giants. I am afraid it will take several years.
It can’t compete with those big companies.”
"Huawei Mobile started too late, and we don't know how long it will take to catch up with giants like Apple and Sansang..."
"So Director Lin, do you really have the patience to persevere? Even in the next few years, Huawei Mobile may just burn money without seeing any improvement?"
Yu Chendong must determine Lin Chen's intentions. Even if he has decided to burn all his energy on Huawei's mobile phone, if Lin Chen gives up halfway, he must consider whether all his efforts are worth it.
This is not about ideals, but about reality. He is already 42 years old and must consider the rest of his life. He must confirm whether the future of Huawei Mobile Phones is worth all his efforts.
Hearing Yu Chendong's question, Ren Zhengfei also sat up straight and pricked up his ears. He also wanted to know how Lin Chen would answer.
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Lao Yu, what you said is indeed an objective reality. But in my opinion, there are three key points in the future of mobile phones. As long as we do well in these three points, Huawei wants to catch up.
It is not impossible to surpass giants like Apple, or even surpass them."
Yu Chendong's eyes lit up: "What three points?"
"These three points... One is the chip processor, which is the core of the mobile phone. It goes without saying how important it is."
"The second is the system. If the chip is the internal core of the mobile phone, then the system is the external core directly facing the user. Among the smartphones currently on the market, why does Apple have the best reviews? Apart from the fact that their technology is indeed excellent.
, the more reason, isn’t it because its system is particularly outstanding?”
"As for the third important point, it is marketing. I think you should also understand this very well."
"If we can solve the above three points, the future development of Huawei mobile phones will no longer be a problem."
"Then how should we solve it?" Yu Chendong asked very urgently.
Lin Chen smiled faintly and analyzed for him based on his memories from his previous life: "Chip processors are a very serious technical issue. Although it is impossible to develop them all at once, as long as they continue to develop them, they will definitely catch up and catch up slowly.
.”
"Mr. Lin, research and development is a money-burning thing." Ren Zhengfei reminded.
"Of course I understand this, so in the future I will continue to invest in Huawei mobile phones for research and development, and there is no upper limit to this amount... By the way, Mr. Ren, I wonder if your HiSilicon will accept investment?"
HiSilicon, the full name is HiSilicon Semiconductor Co., Ltd. In the future, this Huawei subsidiary will develop Kirin processors for Huawei mobile phones.
Ren Zhengfei narrowed his eyes and said, "You can consider it."
Technology research and development is a costly job. Even with Huawei's size, Ren Zhengfei still has a lot of headaches every year because of research and development expenses.
So if someone is willing to invest and share risks, Ren Zhengfei will naturally be happy to see it happen.
Of course, this matter was of great importance and he had to bring it to the board of directors for discussion, so he couldn't give Lin Chen a definite answer now.
But Lin Chen, on his side, had already used his own ability to calculate the result.
Knowing that things were likely to work, he continued: "In terms of technology, there is no need to consider overtaking in corners, but I think Huawei Mobile can find ways to fight hard in terms of systems and marketing in the future."
