Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: March 17, 2004}

{Location: Planting flowers-South Vietnam}

Is it difficult for a reborn person to make a mobile phone?

Disaster!

It's hard!

At least for Ning Zimo, getting involved in the future smartphone field is not something you can do if you have money, vision, and resources.

Moreover, its own company, Emperor Penguin, is currently only a technology and trading company with partially profitable Internet and import and export trade businesses.

As for smartphones, that is another industry, so the separation of industries is not just talk.

If it were just like Xiaomi and Smartisan in the previous life, integrating the supply chain, using existing technology to assemble a new UI, and setting up some new function brand mobile phones based on the original system framework, it would be a relatively easy task.

But what I am aiming for is not secondary development!

But the entire mobile Internet ecosystem!

Getting involved in the mobile phone industry is to drive the entire mobile Internet ecosystem, as well as the future 4G and 5G ecological networks.

Therefore, in 2004, we aimed at the future smartphone market, even if we used our golden fingers to control the operating system and core CPU.

But what about mobile phone baseband?

What about RF core communication devices?

What about 3g, 4g, and 5g technology accumulation?

What are the technical barriers to corresponding technologies of each generation?

Furthermore, among mobile phone-related industrial design, structural design, hardware, software, molds, supply chain management, production and processing, wireless network testing, etc., which link does not need to be solved in this smart phone era?

Self-developed smartphones may have seemed like an industry that anyone could enter in previous lives, but without a complete supply chain system and supporting facilities, self-developed functional phones are a rather large vertical system.

The reason why I found Hua Wei when I had already solved the operating system and CPU framework was not because the joint company already had accumulated Hua Wei, which can accelerate the rapid arrival of the entire smartphone era!

In other words,

Only United Flower Power,

Only in the 4g era,

Achieve a comprehensive overtake!

"Brother Ren, we don't mention the past mistakes and only look at the results." Ning Zimo put down the water glass in his hand and looked at Ren Zhengfei and said, "I know that in February this year, Huawei had already produced the first wcdma for flower cultivation.

The mobile phone participated in the 3gsm conference in Cannes, France, and also gave a live demonstration.

It can be said that even if you were once a step behind in the 3G mobile phone business, but you reflected on yourself in time, you still took HuaWei to lay a good foundation in the GSM era in 1997, and in the new millennium, HuaWei mobile phone business became the first

gun.

And the reason why I want to take advantage of your opportunity to meet with Motorola this time is not to stop your transaction, but to reach an agreement with you."

They had been chatting for a full 20 minutes since they entered the door, and it was only now that Ning Zimo brought the topic of the meeting to the point.

No matter how many topics have been paved the way and how many twists and turns he has experienced during this period, Ren Zhengfei has to take it seriously at this time.

Especially when this young genius mentioned it, but there is no clear agreement yet!

What form and content is it?

"Zimo, it doesn't matter if you just say it!"

"Okay!" Ning Zimo let go of the cup and put his hand on the dining table. "Before I mention this agreement, I have one last question to ask Brother Ren. This question is very simple, that is, in the current mobile phone system

With so many factions, does Hua Wei have his own views on the future 3G and 4G smartphone operating systems and system architecture?"

After saying that, Ning Zimo smiled and added, "I can tell Brother Ren about my plan first. The operating system I am investing in is a microkernel operating system, which is compatible with the four mainstream operating systems currently on the market.

The system is fundamentally different, but it has the same origin as Huawei’s competitor Cisco!

As for ARM, which is still in acquisition negotiations, its essential technology is the low-power RISC microprocessor. It is already a certain share of the 32-bit low-power unprocessed framework, and the 64-bit processor has already

proposed.

In the final analysis, my mobile phone will follow the usual method of European fans. In all aspects of product delivery to consumers, it will only occupy the four core points of design, research and development, patents, and brand, and,

Only the high end of the market!”

Not many people have noticed that in the previous life, Hua Wei also learned from the brand management model of Omi in the terminal consumption field to adjust its mobile phone business strategy. To put it simply, this learning means that Hua Wei raised the price of high-end models and passed on profits to

The corresponding manufacturer links in the supply chain allow supply chain supporting manufacturers to survive better.

But Ning Zimo’s purpose of doing this is not to learn from Hua Wei, but to enter the mobile Internet era more easily.

"Although Zimo has not yet entered the terminal consumption field of mobile phones, from what you mean and what you want to focus on, I can see that you still have your own business logic for operating a brand in this industry. At least, I have

It’s very clear what the four core points you mean by positioning your own company!”

Ren Zhengfei already understood the meaning of Ning Zimo's words and immediately praised them.

But regarding the previous paragraph, Ren Zhengfei still took the opportunity to think about it, and finally said, "We at Huawei have always had our own operating system and CPU chips! And we will always go down this road."

This is 2004! This is not the previous life where iOS and Android dominated the world. In the Warring States Period, when the pattern of smartphone operating systems has not yet been defined, no one knows what the future trend will be.

In this era, Nokia's Java-based Symbian system stands out, BlackBerry's Palm is alone, the powerful Windows Mobile is still in its infancy, and Linux is in its own league.

But when these systems are divided into separate territories, it does not mean that Hua Wei has nothing to offer in this era.

You know, although in the previous life in 2019, Hua Wei announced the world-famous Hongmeng OS, in fact, by that year, Hua Wei's own operating system research and development and chip development experience had actually gone through 28 years of development!

In other words, as early as 1991, in Finland, where there is an aurora, when Logia made the world's first GSM phone call. Huawei Company, which was established in the Special Administrative Region in 1987, was founded by Xu Wenwei (Big Xu) in that year.

) led the development of the

A Huawei chip-asic. It was also this year that in order to explore the entry into the telecom operator market and in the process of striving for access (developing jk1000), Xu Wenwei also led the Huawei Hua Tuan to start the first generation of Huawei's own operations.

system.

It has been 28 years. Before the launch of Huawei's Hongmeng OS, Huawei had been developing independently, developing rtos based on psos and vxworks microkernels, and developing embedded Linux macro kernels based on open source.

It was through so many iterations of research that a solid technical foundation and understanding was laid for the birth of Huawei's Hongmeng OS. Before the launch of the Kirin chip, Huawei's chip research and development had already gone through the same process.

In the past life, too many people only saw Kirin and Hongmeng, but too few people noticed that the OS of the core network has been developed for many years, which has already laid a stable foundation for the development of Hua Wei.

Ren Zhengfei had already understood what Ning Zimo meant. He spoke categorically and expressed his attitude, or Hua Wei's attitude, with strong determination.

In fact, even if he didn't ask this question, Ning Zimo knew the answer.

Perhaps in the eyes of people in previous lives, it was Hongmeng OS or Kirin 980.

But Ning Zimo knows that whether it is the operating system or the chip.

Hua Wei prepared for 28 years before announcing Hongmeng and Kirin!

"Okay!" Ning Zimo slapped the table hard with his palm, making a loud noise, and laughed wildly, "Brother Ren's words are actually the soul that has penetrated into the body of Huawei people!"

I just want to be in this reincarnation life,

Hear firsthand an answer from the founder of Huawei.

Although the answer was once said to be revealed,

But this moment is worth witnessing for yourself!

Even though the three people, including his temporary girlfriend, Sima Lin, were staring at him with weird looks, Ning Zimo, who had recovered from his wild laughter, didn't care about the "negative" effect of his frivolity at this moment.

Looking at Ren Zhengfei, Ning Zimo said word by word, "Brother Ren, then I will be arrogant and return to the topic. In fact, my agreement is actually very simple, that is, when Motorola really gives up on Hua Wei,

During the acquisition, can we secretly achieve licensing of 3G mobile phone related technologies?"

"Leave aside the acquisition of Motorola, just talking about the mobile phone business for end users is not as simple as you think. Even if you are rich, even if we at Huawei authorize you to include 3G and 2G patents related to baseband chips, but you

Since the microkernel operating system has the same origin as Cisco, it must be qnx."

Or why it is a company's competitors that know it best.

Not to mention that Hua Wei just fought a lawsuit with Cisco in the United States last year, making them more familiar with Cisco.

Even without this lawsuit, Hua Wei is still the company that understands Cisco best besides Cisco itself at the beginning of this era.

So he said that the operating system is from the same origin as Cisco, so Ren Zhengfei naturally knew that the operating system he was talking about was qnx.

But at this time, Ren Zhengfei squinted his eyes and frowned, clearly expressing his inner worries!

Is this how the boss of Hua Wei is worried about a "rookie" like himself?

Are you from the perspective of a senior, or are you from the perspective of a comrade in the same trench?

Ning Zimo didn't know.

"The United States behind Cisco will not let the source code of the qnx operating system fall into the hands of flower growers." Ren Zhengfei said every word.

Ren Zhengfei's expression was very serious, even with a hint of "caring" unconsciously.

Only then did Ning Zimo realize that this "senior" whom he had just met for the first time was raising his concerns.

Hey, being "scorned"?

Ning Zimo shrugged indifferently, "Brother Ren, I know that this is different from my acquisition of glass slag. The acquisition of high-tech companies is bound to be scrutinized. I know that although it will be difficult to acquire arm, I have full confidence in arm."

I can win it with confidence. But I am not completely sure about the acquisition of qnx, a company from a country that stands with the United States behind the scenes."

After saying that, Ning Zimo shook his head and smiled, "However, I had a second plan early in the morning!"

Ren Zhengfei's brows were originally furrowed,

But with Ning Zimo’s words,

But it gradually bloomed.

"You are young but you are well prepared. No wonder you can achieve results so quickly. You are still a little fox after working for a long time!"

"Hahahahaha, what Brother Ren said is right. You look so honest and steady, but you are really an old fox!"

An old man and a young man spoke words that the other two present could not understand clearly, but both of them had smiles on their faces.

This strange atmosphere of coming and going was somewhat difficult for Sima Lin and Liang Yu to understand.

But in fact, they don’t need to understand.

As long as Ning Zimo and Ren Zhengfei understand this matter.

After a long while, Ren Zhengfei smiled and nodded:

"Zimo, I roughly understand what you want to do. So, as long as it is normal business behavior, I will support you on behalf of our Hua Wei. In short, you can afford the price... can't you?"

Ning Zimo looked at the naive but extremely cunning Ren Zhengfei with interest.

Compared with Teacher Ma who likes to put everything on the table, this senior Qianzhou who looks honest and honest is a more powerful commander-in-chief who has fought on the battlefield.

But business things should return to the essence of business.

As long as there is such a commitment from this senior master,

That's enough!

"A gentleman's word!"

"It's hard to chase the horse!"

/*

Whenever I write about technology, I always think of the opinions that previous readers have given me, not to write too many technical things...

Therefore, the details about the accumulation of related technologies of Huawei core network os will not be listed.

Because, based on the os of the core network, Huawei's operating system is in full bloom, connecting all three major BGs (operators, enterprises, consumers including mobile phones) and two major BUs (cloud computing, automobiles) of Huawei's business.

vrp for routing and switches;

The fusion sphere of cloud computing;

IoT embedded Euleros;

Automobile and driverless operating system: Hongmeng;

At the same time, smartphone and TV operating systems: Hongmeng;

Ark Compiler. Ark Compiler is not the operating system itself, but on the one hand it can improve the running efficiency of the compiled operating system program (the mobile phone runs faster), on the other hand it greatly facilitates the porting of app business to Hongmeng and original Android applications

(app) As long as you make small changes, you can compile it through the Ark compiler and run it on Hongmeng.

Oh, by the way, there are also the four types of operating systems developed by Hua Wei’s Entrepreneurship Department. If we continue talking about it, it’s a long story…

I mention these things just to let those who are interested know about them.

By the way, let’s take a look at the leopard and see its effect from time to time.

It is really not easy for a great country to rise. It is because of the persistence of a group of people whose names many people do not know.

Moreover, some people really could not be known to the world at that time.

So this is... quite fun.
