"Where are you going later? Accompany Ke Ke? Tangtang? Or go find someone with me?"
"Who are you going to find?"
"A senior brother named Luo Chenyu, our favorite student of a tutor. I originally wanted to find him to come out, but he was not interested, so he recommended this student to me."
Fang Changan, based on Hong Wanmei's recommendation some time ago, visited a professor in the school and wanted to invite him to the company for a high salary, but he was not interested in this. He was mainly because he was old and had no fighting spirit. He just wanted to take the students to support his elderly care in the school. So he recommended Luo Chenyu, who is in his early thirties and currently works at the Samsung China Research Center.
Tang Zhaoyu had contacted the other party twice and confirmed that the other party was very skilled, but in the end he did not reach an agreement. The other party asked to meet the boss, but did not say the specific reason.
Shen Mo thought for a while and asked, "Then I'll go with you, can I?"
"Of course, and if I guess correctly, it might be helpful if you go."
"Why?"
"Let's see later, if I guess correctly, I'll tell you."
Fang Chang'an and Luo Chenyu made an appointment at 1:30. After eating slowly, they took Shen Mo to set off. Samsung Electronics China Research Institute drove a distance of twenty minutes near the Sun Palace on the North Third Ring Road.
Luo Chenyu chose a nearby cafe, so Fang Chang'an naturally had no objection. He took Shen Mo to the place first, ordered two cups of coffee, chatted and said, and just thought it was a date.
He was almost time to send a message to Luo Chenyu. The other party quickly came down and looked younger than his teenage years old. He was wearing a dark shirt, black trousers and leather shoes. He looked like a workplace elite, but he didn't look like a technician in his impression.
"My girlfriend, Shen Mo."
The two of them exchanged a greeting, and Fang Chang'an immediately introduced Shen Mo. The girl's face turned slightly red, but she was already more accustomed to this identity. She nodded slightly and sat down with Fang Chang'an.
"Mr. Fang is still studying, right? He is promising when he is young!"
Luo Chenyu did not look down on him, but he could see that even though he learned about Fang Chang'an in advance, he was still a little surprised when he met.
"There is no choice, I'm not waiting for it. In the era of mobile Internet, winners take all, and if you're too late, you don't even have the qualifications to drink soup."
Fang Chang'an was not deliberately modest. He was not qualified to be modest yet because he was easily looked down upon. When the ancient lyrics and mobile phones were really successful, the two names "Ancient Poetry" and "Fang Chang'an" had real weight and were no longer "springboards". Only when his modesty would be truly regarded as modesty, not guilty.
"Just call my name, my senior brother."
"Don't, I'm really interested in ancient poetry. Basic workplace etiquette is still something to be said... Well, it's the company, not the poetry..." Luo Chenyu joked slightly.
Fang Changan didn't expect that he would say this when he came up, which was a little surprised, "Senior brother, since he is interested, why didn't he agree?"
"I have talked a lot with Mr. Tang, both in terms of technology and in terms of personal experience."
Luo Chenyu spoke slowly, giving people a very steady and down-to-earth feeling. "We met for the first time today, but we came from the first school and introduced it to Teacher Zheng. It is quite a bit of a relationship, and I am indeed very interested in ancient poetry companies."
"So I won't hide it, tell you the truth."
"To be honest, Mr. Tang has a high level and is a veteran of the company. He has a good personal relationship with you. He is the head of the software department. If there is no major problem, he should be able to do it for a long time."
"The ancient poetry company is still in its inception. If I join, I will definitely go for the future. There is such a boss pressing on it..."
He pointed his hand up and smiled, "I can't go up."
"So I want to meet Mr. Fang, mainly because I want to ask how big your ambitions are, how big the blueprint of the ancient poetry company is, and whether there is a place for me to live in."
Fang Changan waited quietly for him to finish speaking before he smiled and said, "The times create heroes. We are at a dawn moment in the era of innovation. Since I can't wait for four years in college, my ambitions are of course great enough."
"Before ancient poetry is Nokia, Apple, and even Intel, Google, and Microsoft."
"Of course these words are empty and not very meaningful."
He smiled again, "Senior Brother asked me about my ambitions, and I care about nothing more than the stage and the rewards. I have two promises I can give you."
"First, the company will not go public, but after it stabilizes, it will disclose financial reports to all employees. The dividends will be distributed at most. I will take them at most. As the company develops, this proportion will gradually decrease."
“The other parts will be distributed to employees according to their position and contribution.”
"Actually, what I want is 10%, maybe even lower, but that requires a company to make a large enough profit, and at least I have to recover the cost of investment."
Luo Chenyu was obviously stunned. He never expected that he would make such a promise.
Fang Changan smiled, "Second, if it goes well, the company will start chip research and development in about three years... How big ambitious is my senior brother, I should be able to feel one or two of them."
Luo Chenyu stared at him for a long time before laughing in a complicated way. He could clearly feel the vibration and disobedience in his heart, "Do you want to build a Huawei?"
Huawei is well-known to the public because of mobile phone products, especially after the Sino-US trade war, because of sanctions and standing and refusing to kneel down, and it has resisted, and has become a sign and symbol similar to "national heroes".
However, in fact, before entering the mobile phone field, Huawei was already well-known in the industry.
In 1987, Ren Zhengfei, who was a troop in the infrastructure engineering corps, retired from the army and transferred to the industry. He started a business at the age of 43 and established Huawei in Shenzhen. His business was to represent a program switch for a Hong Kong businessman.
In 1989, Huawei began to develop switches;
In 1990, Huawei began to independently develop PBX (company's internal telephone business network) technology for small businesses and hotels and use it for commercial use.
This is the beginning of Huawei's development from agents to R&D. A small broken ship that has just been launched began to break through the wind and waves and grow all the way.
At this time, no one, including Ren Zhengfei, could imagine that in thirty years, it would become a giant ship that attracts the world!
The storms it faces are no longer market competition between companies, but have become the focus of the rise and fall game between the two strongest countries in the world!
Huawei, which is heading towards R&D, has not been smooth sailing. Its goal has even been to survive for a long time.
In 2000, Huawei developed smoothly, with annual sales exceeding 22 billion yuan and a profit of 2.9 billion yuan. However, due to internal problems such as equity and management, an internal crisis broke out and a large number of people left, including senior executives. The article "Huawei's Winter" was published in this context.
In 2003, Huawei, which had just walked back from the brink of collapse, was sued by Cisco, the United States. Although Huawei finally solved the matter and Cisco chose to withdraw the lawsuit, according to later Internet rumors, this incident hit Huawei, which was in the "cold winter" at the time. Ren Zhengfei, who suffered repeated blows, had the idea of selling Huawei.
Huawei then reached an acquisition agreement with an American company (rumored to be Motorola), which acquired Huawei for US$7.5 billion. The negotiations between the two parties went smoothly. At the end of that year, the two parties signed a contract in Hainan, and all Huawei employees had the idea of "relaxing for a while" and "living a good life" because they all had shares and could all share a sum of money.
"Unfortunately" is that in January 2004, the board of directors of the acquirer accepted the new CEO. The newly appointed CEO believed that the acquisition was not worth it and rejected the acquisition proposal. In the twelfth month of winter, it poured a basin of cold water on Huawei, which was waiting for news.
A few months later, Ren Zhengfei ordered He Tingbo, and the rumors in the Internet in later generations were: I will give you 20,000 people, 400 million US dollars in R&D funds every year, and make the chips!
Huawei has thus embarked on the road of self-developed chips.
In 2009, HiSilicon released its first mobile phone chip, k3v1. How to say it... Huawei made mobile phones at this time and made private label mobile phones for operators. HiSilicon pushed this chip to Huawei's mobile phone department, but was "ugly rejected".
It is also worth mentioning that last year, in October 2009, Huawei released its first baseband chip Balong 700 that supports td-lte. Ten years later, the first baseband chip Balong 5000 that supports 5g is its successor.
This Balong 700 will be unveiled at this year's World Expo and will attract some attention.
HiSilicon is not prominent today, but Huawei is already a communications giant with annual revenue of nearly 200 billion yuan, and it is the top 50 domestic companies. It has the largest mobile broadband product market share in the world, the second largest wireless access market share in the world, and the number of LTE patents accounts for 10% of the world...
And it is also a high salary that is as famous as overtime!
Nowadays, ordinary people don’t know much about Huawei, but many people who work in technology know that Luo Chenyu has heard of it, and even once considered not to change jobs.
Huawei's full-staff shareholding model has its unique development history, and it is difficult for other companies to replicate because no boss is willing to share his money unless he can get more money.
The employee dividend model mentioned by Fang Changan is different from Huawei, but in fact it is not much different for employees, or even more generous, because Huawei's early shares were bought by employees and were considered to be invested, while Fang Changan said it is equal to the "benefit" of employees.
Of course, these are all verbal promises. No matter how young Fang Chang'an is, no matter how sincere he is, he is still a boss. Luo Chenyu would not have believed it all, but he was indeed shocked.
——The other party’s current treatment is already higher than that of him!
Fang Changan shook his head and smiled, "My goal is to defeat Huawei. Although it is unlikely, he still needs to have a dream."
It is undeniable that Huawei is a great company, but in fact this goal is not unachievable, because Fang Changan is very clear about what kind of dilemma Huawei will encounter in ten years.
Not to mention that before that, at least after that, it would be better to eat the market that was empty by Huawei than to let Qualcomm or Apple eat it?
He does not despise other mobile phone manufacturers, because his previous life came from the era of foreign mobile phone brands all over the streets. Whether it is Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, it is more comfortable than buying Samsung, Nokia, or Motorola.
But I feel a little bit dissatisfied with it, and it is said that "it is difficult to calm down"!
Of course, we have to face up to the difficulties. When he was a keyboard powerhouse in his previous life, he regretted that Xiaomi gave up "surging". Now that he is truly preparing to plan, he realizes the fear of walking on thin ice.
After Kirin 980, bragging about Huawei and praising Kirin has almost become a political correct online, and there is even a question about "Why don't you sell Kirin chips to your competitors?" It seems that everyone has forgotten how much abuse Huawei phones experienced during the period from k3v2 to Kirin 970 and how long it took.
Huawei mobile phones are losing money and have other businesses to subsidize them. You can wait until the harvest period. Once Xiaomi fails, what will happen?
This is not just a whitewash, excuse, and face up to the difficulties and dangers, so that we can better understand how courage and difficulty it takes to choose this path.
Let’s take a step back, from Wang Shouwu to Ni Guangnan, from Ark to Hanxin, China’s semiconductor industry has been gritting its teeth and insisting on R&D during its poverty and incompleteness to buying better than building. Is it the blame for a person and a company?
Is the foreign semiconductor industry developed by a certain company on its own?
——To put it another way, Volkswagen’s flattery of Huawei and its harshness on Xiaomi and others are all shames for the entire Chinese semiconductor industry!
To be mean, it is because the overall situation is too weak and too trash!
As for objective factors such as "developing too late", there must be some, but for other reasons, it is not that no one knows, and he dares not say it, and he will have to say it if he says it, and he will have to be scolded: How can you say that there is something wrong with China? You are not patriotic! Are you walking for 500,000?
However, to be honest, the majority of rational people are the ones after all. However, people who are not engaged in related work do not understand the situation, and there is no way to understand it. The whole country is dedicated and working hard, and it can only see results in ten years.
For Fang Chang'an, he is willing to sacrifice his personal opportunities and rights to gain greater benefits, or to take advantage of greater benefits, so that the company can embark on a more competitive path when both family and personal destiny have been reversed, and there is no material lack in the future.
In the long run, this coincides with his personal interests and needs.
Moreover, this is a path that he thinks is more meaningful, and in the future, it is likely to be recognized by more people.
He is willing to make the choice between this and that.
After all, I read "Selected Mao" since I was a child and joined the party since high school.
In the words of later generations, there are really not many areas in this world that can thrash China's neck.
If you can leave a name in this field, it will be enough to be glorious if you don’t say it is famous in history.
Luo Chenyu naturally could not understand what Fang Chang'an thoughts, but as a mature and rational person, he could not believe what Fang Chang'an said in detail. After considering it, he asked in an incomprehensible tone: "What are you doing this for?"
“To make the company bigger.”
Fang Chang'an spoke in a normal tone, with a smile, "If you want a horse to run, you always have to feed the horse. You can't just learn overtime from Huawei and not learn from Huawei's salary, right?"
To be continued...
