Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

As the financial crisis eases into November, those raging giant crocodiles are looking for other plump targets while digesting the food in their stomachs.

Yang Dongxu, who stayed in Hong Kong for almost a whole year in 1997, temporarily flew back to the magical city. With the collapse of Hong Kong's real estate, there were a lot of rumors in the mainland. After all, he is the person who has taken over the most real estate in Hong Kong. Even if he thinks about it again,

Being low-key also has to stand on the forefront of the storm.

However, although the outside world is turbulent, the company is still very stable. Especially after enjoying the international market, Yang Dongxu secretly returned the funds that had been withdrawn from various companies in batches to the company's accounts.

Seeing so much money lying around in the company's accounts, no one in the company's senior management was panicked. The company cadres under their unhurried hands also stabilized, and even though the ordinary employees below occasionally discussed it, it was basically nothing major.

This time he came back mainly to deal with China Telecom matters. After more than a month of negotiations, he finally packaged up Jinshan Company and became the largest shareholder with 90% of the shares.

This acquisition was completed when he was still staring at the financial crisis in Hong Kong, but Kingsoft was originally a software company, and it could only be said to be peripheral to the telecommunications industry, and there was not much overlap.

Therefore, it was inevitable to break through the reorganization after the acquisition of Kingsoft. The anti-virus software department was originally retained, and then the communications department and game department were expanded, and extended to Dongxu Technology mobile phones and computer systems.

Needless to say, the telecommunications sector definitely needs highly sophisticated technical talents. In addition to cooperating with the government to build base stations, it also started building its own database and servers at the request of Yang Dongxu.

The game department is a brand new department. At present, domestic online games can only be said to have just started. There are no large-scale online games and no big game companies. Therefore, we have not found many talents for the time being. If we want to enrich ourselves, we can only look internationally.

Can we find people?

The anti-virus software is naturally owned by the company's original people, but it was not handed over to Lei Jun for management. Instead, a manager from the previous Jinshan Company was temporarily taken over. Lei Jun's main job now is to become familiar with the entire company after the expansion, and to set the main goals

Let’s look at mobile phone and computer hardware.

Mobile phones are okay, after all, there are several big foreign brands that dominate now. Dongxu Technology only gets OEMs, and the technology it researches is not yet mature, so it needs to continue to be convinced.

Computer hardware is relatively more complex. Although Tunghsu Technology's hard drive production technology is currently absolutely leading in the world, breakthroughs have been made in independent graphics cards, and it can barely keep up with memory stick technology.

At the same time, the motherboard technology is also good. In short, except for the CPU, which cannot compete with Intel, the hard disk technology is the world leader, and other technologies are in the middle and upper reaches. So there is no problem at all in building a fully owned computer brand.

However, although the current domestic network is not very developed, computer manufacturers have emerged. Especially after Lenovo's beautiful operations last year, it directly dominated the PC market and became the undisputed leader in the country. Dongxu Technology wants to enter this field.

The field has to consider this strong roadblock.

"Why don't we postpone the launch of the all-in-one machine and let's focus on computer hardware first?" In Lei Jun's new office in the magic city, looking at the young and excessive boss in front of him, he pondered and said.

"Tell me what you think." Yang Dongxu nodded and signaled him to continue.

"The domestic market is currently so big, and Lenovo has already taken the lead. If we force a confrontation, the chances of winning, regardless of cost, are not very high. So instead of tit-for-tat, we might as well take a step back and specialize in what we are currently good at."

In terms of hardware, as for the brand of the all-in-one machine, I will wait and see for a while before considering how to operate it.”

"Change from competition to cooperation?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin in thought.

I have to say that this is a good idea. After all, even though Dongxu Technology has certain technical advantages, after all, Lenovo has completed the layout and firmly established itself as the domestic leader. It is difficult to directly rush in and get benefits in a short time.

If it is too big, even if you win in the end, it will be a miserable victory.

But if we change our thinking and turn competitors into partners, this matter will be much easier to operate. After all, with the current technology of Dongxu Technology's computer hardware, Lenovo has no reason to buy foreign hardware at high prices instead of buying it cheaply.

Domestic hardware that is easy to use.

"You will discuss this matter with Manager Ye later, and leave the specific matters to him. What I want to talk to you about today is the matter of turning off the phone. After such a long period of familiarity, do you think we can get started on our own?

mobile phone brand?”

This is undoubtedly the main reason why Yang Dongxu insisted on poaching Lei Jun and also acquired a soft armor company for him. At present, Dongxu Technology has been OEMing for Nokia for some time.

Although the technical reserves of mobile phones are definitely a few levels lower than those of Nokia, Motorola, etc. But if we don’t produce cutting-edge mobile phones, we still have the technology to produce ordinary mobile phones.

"If we simply plagiarize, it's no problem given our technical reserves, but if we want to do better, it's a big problem. We don't have our own mature mobile phone chip technology, nor a mature mobile phone system. We don't even have the most basic mobile phone circuit board technology.

There is no way to compare with others. So now it is difficult to make a mobile phone of your own brand." Lei Jun said bluntly.

And he looked at Yang Dongxu with some doubts in his eyes. When he was hired before, the job he was given was to do IT. And the initial arrangement was with China Telecom. Who knew what he would do for several months after he came here?

Going to another company to learn about computer and mobile phone technology left him a little confused.

"Copycat?" Yang Dongxu pinched the beard that had been hung up on his chin.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you want to quickly occupy the market, copycats are indeed the fastest and most effective way. After all, you have no R&D costs at all, just copy them. And in this domestic environment, you are not afraid.

Sell ​​one to win a lawsuit.

But if you want to build your own brand for a long time, copycats will undoubtedly be a road to death. How many mobile phone brands suddenly popped up in China after 2000?

There are so many types of copycat phones on the market, and their functions are even better than those of the original phones. But what will happen ten years later? As mobile phones continue to innovate and the technical threshold continues to increase, none of the copycat phones that were once prosperous have survived.

.Even if it transformed in time, it was still half-dead in the end, beaten by several other brands and unable to hold its head high.

"Forget it, let's make technical reserves first. If it doesn't work, just like computers, let's go through hardware cooperation channels first, and then slowly develop our own mobile phone brand.

Let you manage Huaxia Telecom, but let you understand the mobile phone and computer industries of Dongxu Technology. This is because both of them are related to IT, especially mobile phones. In the future, we will focus on mobile communications.

There are two key points in our work now. The first one is to sort out Huaxia Telecom first. Don’t worry about the game department and anti-virus software for now. We mainly focus on two areas, Internet broadband and mobile communications.

Secondly, there are two points on the mobile phone side, one is the mobile phone system and the other is the mobile phone chip. The mobile phone chip can be left to Dongxu Technology, but the mobile phone system is not their strong point.

After all, the main business there is still research and development of various hardware, and there are not many technical talents in software. So you have to take on this, because in the future, the mobile phone software system part will be separated from Dongxu Technology and merged into Huaxia Telecom.

"

Huaxia Telecom is Huaxia Telecom, and Dongxu Technology is Dongxu Technology. It was a bit confusing before because of insufficient manpower, but it will definitely be completely divided later.

According to Yang Dongxu's current plan, Huaxia Telecom's base station and server construction will be transferred to Dongxu Technology in the future, and all the software-related parts of Dongxu Technology will be transferred to Huaxia Telecom.

In short, Huaxia Telecom focuses on broadband and mobile phone systems, while Dongxu Technology focuses on hardware. The two companies work closely with each other to improve technology in their respective fields.

"Okay, no problem. But I have never been exposed to this mobile phone system before." Lei Jun nodded and said.

This division also made him feel much clearer, unlike before when he couldn't even figure out which company he belonged to.

"No one is born with anything and can learn it slowly. I am not in a hurry. Tell me what kind of talents you need and I will help you find them. If necessary, I will buy some from Nokia that they allow.

The technology will come back for you to digest. You can also use Nokia's system for comparison to help you learn and progress faster."

In fact, the current mobile phone system is not as complex as later generations of smartphones. Even if Nokia, Motorola, or Ericsson have technical reserves that are unmatched in China, they are still in the process of groping forward.

So if you join the research and development in this area now, even if you can't catch up in a short time, you can at least follow them and not fall behind and slowly accumulate strength and foundation.

Yang Dongxu gave an overview of the company's split and merger, leaving Lei Jun and Ye Rongrong to handle the specific matters themselves.

After coming out of Huaxia Telecom, he went to Hurricane Construction non-stop. The signing of the contract at Century Park has been completed, and the land grading has been started for several months.

The problem of external collection of building and park design drawings was also completed when he was in Hong Kong. In the end, the design drawings of the company building were made from drawings from a foreign design institute, while the design drawings for the renovation of the park were made from domestic garden designs.

drawing.

Hurricane Construction invested 70% of the company building and took a 30% loan from the bank. Hurricane Construction invested 80% of the park construction, and the government took the land as a stake and contributed 20%.

After the construction started, everything went smoothly, but as the Hong Kong real estate crash incident unfolded, although the hurricane construction was generally stable, the rumors from outside never stopped.

Especially before the financial crisis, Yang Dongxu suddenly increased the debt ratio of Hurricane Construction a lot. This caused many people to fan the flames and said that Hurricane Construction was now out of debt and was about to break its capital chain and go bankrupt.

This caused many banks that originally provided loans to come to collect debts, and even the city government asked several times about the specific situation. This forced him to come back early to take charge of the Magic City.
