Reborn Technology Scholar

Chapter 128 Warwick

Domestic scientific research institutions and universities have become accustomed to state funding.

Whatever research I do, I rely on the state to provide funding. As for raising funds on my own, it has never happened.

Industry, academia and research have been exploring for more than ten years, but very few results have been achieved, and many of the patents developed are actually of little value.

Even if there are some valuable ones, it is often because the difficulty is not high, the protection of intellectual property rights in the country is relatively small, the awareness of intellectual property rights of business owners is weak, and there are all kinds of copycats, so that they cannot receive any patents.

Let alone now, even in another ten years, there may not be much improvement.

When it comes to new energy, all kinds of capital rush in, claiming to invest billions or tens of billions, but in fact they are all defrauding state subsidies, and they end up with nothing. The same situation also occurs with graphene and various graphites.

The concept of graphene continues to be a hot topic, but how many people are actually engaged in graphene research?

The Chinese people are too smart. They are so smart that they don't focus on where they should be, and they try to get the best of their abilities.

Three days later, Qin Yuanqing met Mr. Ren of Warwick. Mr. Ren was now almost seventy years old, but he still seemed to be in good spirits and in good health.

If Qiandu’s Li Yanhong is the soul, Tencent’s soul is Ma Huateng, Alibaba Group’s soul is Ma Yun, then Warwick’s soul is Mr. Ren.

Moreover, Mr. Ren is very courageous. The first company law in China was almost created by Warwick. Even for the development of Warwick, Mr. Ren himself only owns 1% of the shares, and the other 99% is in the employee committee to let employees

By participating in the company's dividends, employees can enjoy the dividends of the company's development, which is admirable.

Although many people have various criticisms about this, look at how many company bosses in society are willing to let their employees share the dividends of the company's growth. Which of them is not trying their best to squeeze the residual value of their employees?

Even Ma Yun openly shouted that 996 is a blessing!

Although Warwick has a wolf culture, you must know that Warwick’s employees also earn a lot!

"Mr. Ren, welcome to Shuimu University!" Qin Yuanqing saw Mr. Ren who was not tall, but expressed his respect.

This is a true entrepreneur!

Entrepreneur, this title is used by more and more people, and ten years later it has become a bad street. But Qin Yuanqing still agrees with what Cao Dewang of Fuyao said, entrepreneur is a spirit and a state. Enterprise

The family must have such a mind and realm. The country will be strong because of you, the society will progress because of you, and the people will be rich because of you. This is what entrepreneurs do. What you do must be aimed at the country’s goals.

Only when you meet the needs and needs of society can you do it.

Cao Dewang criticized entrepreneurs who immigrated abroad, believing that they are not real entrepreneurs, but are small bosses, real families, and ambitious ones. They will not immigrate. They are tasked and must be responsible to history.

There is no doubt that what Mr. Ren has done can be regarded as an outstanding entrepreneur. He has made China's communication equipment the world leader, because Huawei is the third largest communication equipment giant in the world.

Moreover, in an era when immigration is common, Mr. Ren has not immigrated, and he is still a party member!

This is a very rare thing!

He once saw a video of a retired mayor of Pengcheng. He said that he had never had a meal from Warwick in the ten years he had been in charge of Pengcheng, and Mr. Ren did not do that.

Compared with Xiaomi, Huawei undoubtedly relies on technology and has its own technical content, rather than an assembly plant.

"Academician Qin, I have admired your name for a long time!" Mr. Ren shook hands with Qin Yuanqing, with a look of amazement on his face.

It is true that Qin Yuanqing is too young, too young!

He was only 20 years old, while others were still in college, but Qin Yuanqing had already established himself as the number one person in the Chinese mathematics community. He had won various mathematics awards and was an academician of both Chinese academies.

Academicians, maybe some of them have some problems, but there is no doubt that they all have real talents and learning, otherwise they would not be academicians.

"Mr. Ren, I heard that Huawei has launched a smartphone?" Qin Yuanqing said.

"Well, our company launched Warwick c8500 last month as the first batch of Tianyi thousand yuan 3G smartphones launched by China Telecom, and the sales are pretty good!" Mr. Ren said with a smile.

Qin Yuanqing knew about the c8500 mobile phone, because the first smartphone he used in his previous life was the c8500, and it was promoted by China Telecom, guaranteeing a monthly consumption of 108 yuan for three consecutive years, and the mobile phone would be free.

It is precisely through this marketing method that the c8500 quickly became popular among consumers, completing the miracle of sales exceeding one million in a hundred days. By the end of the year, Tianyi terminal products had shipped more than 20 million units, giving Warwick a good start in the field of smartphones.

However, this mobile phone is definitely not excellent. There are endless screen freezes, lags, etc., the phone disintegrates as soon as it is dropped on the ground, and the battery is not durable after being used for a while.

Compared with Apple mobile phones, the performance of mobile phones is far inferior, not even comparable to traditional 2G mobile phones.

"Mr. Ren, let me get straight to the point. Shuimu can reach a strategic cooperation with Warwick to conquer smartphones, including chips, screens, operating systems, etc. Shuimu still has technical capabilities. I think Mr. Ren doesn't want to wait until Warwick mobile phones develop and grow.

Stuck your neck!" Qin Yuanqing got straight to the point and brought up scientific research cooperation.

Scientific research cooperation between universities and enterprises is better if it is simple and clear, without the need for twists and turns.

"Oh? Academician Qin thinks Americans will get stuck?" Mr. Ren smiled lightly and did not agree directly.

After all, Warwick itself also has very strong scientific research capabilities. They have tens of thousands of engineers. To put it bluntly, the scientific research capabilities of universities are actually not as good as those of large enterprises.

"Mr. Ren is fighting in the foreign communications market. He should be very clear about the technical barriers and technical sticks of Europeans and Americans." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile. It has only been a few years since Warwick was attacked by the United States.

"The chip is in the hands of Qualcomm, the LCD screen is in the hands of Samsung, and the operating system belongs to others. It can be said that the core technology of smartphones is not in the hands of China!" Qin Yuanqing smiled and said: "Shui Mu and Huawei join forces, that is a strong alliance!"

Mr. Ren showed a thoughtful look. Warwick is different from other companies. Warwick has developed and grown in foreign markets. Overseas markets have always accounted for a large part of Warwick's revenue. Naturally, it has been competing with European and American companies for more than ten years. Warwick knows European and American people very well.

Warwick also paid a heavy price for its urinary properties.

As Qin Yuanqing said, the core technology of smartphones today is not in the hands of the Chinese. If someone says it is stuck, it will be stuck. There is no room for negotiation at all, so he is smart enough to obey.

Smartphones have just emerged, but people with lofty ideals already understand the business opportunities and huge market they contain.

Otherwise, Apple's stock will not continue to rise, and even the financial crisis will not affect it.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing is more aware of the smartphone market, which is constantly growing. It can even be said that the smartphone market is larger than the automobile industry.

Otherwise, it would not have created the Apple myth and made Apple the high-tech company with the highest market value.

And don’t forget, mobile phone manufacturing is only a part of the mobile phone market, and other parts include various applications, etc., which are also a big part.

The world-famous "Apple tax" has made countless Internet companies gnash their teeth with hatred. Apple relies on the "Apple tax" to surpass the profits of many large Internet companies.

"Academician Qin also does research on smartphones?" Mr. Ren looked at Qin Yuanqing.

"A little research!" Qin Yuanqing said: "Now is the last chance. Once missed, domestic mobile phone manufacturers will have no choice but to become OEM manufacturers like in the 2G era."

"Mr. Ren, Academician Qin is a genius of our Shuimu. He is a young man and is much better than us old guys." The dean said with a smile.

This time not only Qin Yuanqing met with Mr. Ren, but also several school leaders.

Mr. Ren looked thoughtful.

Warwick has always wanted to enter the mobile phone market. It established a mobile phone business department in 2003 and developed the first WCDMA mobile phone in 2004. Unfortunately, it suffered huge setbacks and was difficult to develop in the market.

It was also with smartphones that we saw new opportunities, so we began to invest in research and development, directly equipped with the Android system, and cooperated with telecoms, even if we did not make money, we still had to open up the market and occupy a certain market share.

And because of insufficient technology accumulation, the c8500 launched is actually just like other domestically produced phones. They are just deceptive. There is a huge gap between them and Apple phones. They are basically cheap bargains and almost no profit.

As a communications equipment giant, Warwick naturally knows that low-end products cannot make money, and only high-tech products can make money.

But everyone knows that the accumulation of technology does not happen overnight.

The iPhone 4 launched by Apple this year was a huge blow to major mobile phone manufacturers. After all, the iPhone 4 is a work of art and caused a sensation as soon as it was released.

It's just that Mr. Ren has always had a problem with Shuimu University. Warwick rarely recruits graduates from Shuimu University because it's too easy for them to run away.

But as Qin Yuanqing said, Shuimu University's scientific research strength is still very strong, otherwise it would not be able to become the top university in China.

If both parties reach strategic cooperation, it will be beneficial to both parties.

When Qin Yuanqing saw Mr. Ren's expression of attraction, he immediately knew that the cooperation was going to happen. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, let's go to the conference room together. I want to show you something."

Qin Yuanqing's busy work in the past three days was not in vain. In order to promote this cooperation and obtain a large amount of scientific research funds, Qin Yuanqing did a lot of work.

Otherwise, how could a company be willing to spend a large amount of research funding?

An enterprise is not a charity. Its ultimate goal is to make money. Only when it sees broad prospects will the enterprise be willing to spend large sums of money.
