The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

In November, when the financial crisis was suspended, those raging giant crocodiles, while digesting the food they swallowed, waited for the opportunity to find other fat targets.

Yang Dongxu, who stayed in Hong Kong for almost a whole year in 1997, flew back to Shanghai temporarily by plane. With the collapse of Hong Kong's real estate, there have been many rumors in the Mainland. After all, he is the person who receives the most real estate in Hong Kong, even if he wants to keep a low profile, he has to stand on the cusp of the storm.

However, although the outside world is turbulent, the company is still very stable inside. Especially after feasting on the international market, Yang Dongxu returned the funds previously withdrawn from various companies to the company's account in batches and covertly.

Seeing so much money lying in the company's account, naturally none of the company's senior management panicked. They didn't panic, and the company cadres under them also settled down, and even though the ordinary employees below discussed it occasionally, it was basically nothing major.

This time he came back mainly to deal with Huaxia Telecom. After more than a month of negotiations, he finally took Jinshan Company into his pocket 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 Jinshan was a software company at the beginning, and it can only be said that it has nothing to do with the telecommunications industry.

Therefore, it is inevitable to break through the reorganization after the acquisition of Jinshan Company. The original anti-virus software department was retained, and then the communication department and game department were expanded, and the mobile phone and computer systems of Tunghsu Technology were extended.

Needless to say, the telecommunications sector definitely needs high-tech talents. In addition to cooperating with the government to build base stations, it also began to build its own database and server construction 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 there are no big game companies. So I haven't found any talents for the time being. If I want to enrich myself, I can only go internationally to see if I can find people.

The anti-virus software is naturally the same people from the company, but it was not handed over to Lei Jun for management, but a manager from Jinshan Company took over temporarily. Lei Jun's main job now is to familiarize himself with the entire company after expansion, and focus on mobile phones and computer hardware.

It’s okay to talk about mobile phones. After all, several big foreign brands are now dominant. What Tunghsu Technology has obtained is only OEM, and its own research technology is not yet mature, so it needs to continue to be convinced.

Computer hardware is relatively more complicated. Although the hard disk production technology of Tunghsu Technology is absolutely leading the world, breakthroughs have been made in independent graphics cards, and it can barely keep up with the technology of memory sticks.

At the same time, the motherboard technology is also good, in short, except that the CPU cannot compete with Intel. The hard disk technology is world-leading, and other technologies are in the middle and upper reaches. So there is nothing wrong with getting a computer brand with complete assets.

However, although the current domestic network is not very developed, computer manufacturers have already appeared. Especially after Lenovo's beautiful operation last year, it directly occupied the PC market. Having become the undisputed leader in the country, Tunghsu Technology has to consider this strong stumbling block if it wants to set foot in this field.

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

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

"At present, the domestic market is so big, and Lenovo has seized the opportunity. If we forcefully fight, let alone the cost, the chance of winning is not very high. So instead of confronting each other, we might as well take a step back and focus on what we are good at at present. In terms of hardware, as for the brand of the all-in-one machine, let’s observe for a period of time before considering how to operate it.”

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

It has to be said that this is a good way, after all, even if Tunghsu Technology has certain technical advantages. But after all, Lenovo has already completed the layout and sat firmly at the top position in the country. It is too difficult to rush directly to the bayonet and see the red in a short time to get benefits. Even if it wins in the end, it will be a miserable victory.

But if you change your thinking and turn competitors into partners, this matter will be much easier to operate. After all, with the current Tunghsu Technology's various computer hardware technologies, Lenovo has no reason to buy foreign hardware at a high price instead of cheap and easy-to-use domestic hardware.

"You can discuss this matter with Manager Ye later, and he will be in charge of the specific matters. What I want to talk to you today is about turning off the mobile phone. After such a long time of getting acquainted, do you think we can start our own business?" mobile phone brand?"

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

Although mobile phone technical reserves compared to Nokia. Motorola must be a few grades worse. But instead of producing cutting-edge mobile phones, there are still technologies for producing ordinary mobile phones.

"If it is simple plagiarism, our technical reserves are indeed no problem, but there is a big problem in wanting to do better. We do not have our own mature mobile phone chip technology, nor a mature mobile phone system. Even the most basic mobile phone board technology There is no way to compare with others. So now it is very difficult to make a mobile phone of your own brand." Lei Jun said bluntly.

And looked at Yang Dongxu with some doubts in his eyes. When he was poached before, the job he was given was to do IT. And it was arranged by China Telecom when he came up. Who knew that what he did for several months after he came here was to go to another company to learn about computer and mobile phone technology, which made him a little confused.

"Counterfeit?" Yang Dongxu pinched the beard that had been hung off his chin.

Copycats are indeed the fastest and last effective means to quickly occupy the market. After all, you have no research and development costs at all, and you can just copy them. And in this domestic environment, you are not afraid of going to court to sell one and earn one.

But if you want to build your own brand for a long time, copying is undoubtedly a deadly road. After 2000, how many mobile phone brands popped up in China?

There are so many types of counterfeit phones on the market, and even their functions are more powerful than the original phones. But what about ten years later? With the continuous innovation of mobile phones and the continuous improvement of the technical threshold, none of the copycat phones that were once booming have survived. Even if it is transformed in time, it will be half dead in the end, and it will be beaten by several other brands.

"Forget it, let's make technical reserves first. If it doesn't work, it's like a computer. Let's go through the hardware cooperation channel first, and then slowly develop our own mobile phone brand.

Let you manage Huaxia Telecom, but let you understand Tunghsu Technology's mobile phone and computer industries. It is because these two are related to IT, especially the mobile phone. We will do mobile communication in the future.

There are two priorities in the work now. The first one is to sort out Huaxia Telecom. Don't worry about the game department and anti-virus software. Mainly focus on two areas, Internet broadband and mobile communications.

There are also two points on the second mobile phone, one is the mobile phone system and the other is the mobile phone chip. The mobile phone chip can be handed over to Tunghsu Technology, but the mobile phone system is not its strong point.

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

Huaxia Telecom is Huaxia Telecom, and Tunghsu Technology is Tunghsu Technology. It was a bit confusing because of insufficient manpower before, 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 assigned to Dongxu Technology, and all the parts related to soft armor from Dongxu Technology will be assigned to Huaxia Telecom.

In short, Huaxia Telecom mainly focuses on broadband and mobile phone systems, and Tunghsu Technology focuses on hardware. The two companies work closely with each other to improve their own technologies in their fields.

"Okay, no problem. But I haven't touched the mobile phone system before." Lei Jun nodded and said.

Such a division also made him feel a lot clearer, unlike before he was a member of that company and couldn't figure it out himself.

"No one is born with something, and I can learn it slowly. I am not in a hurry. Tell me what kind of talents you need. Tell me and I will help you dig. When 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 complicated as the smart phones of later generations. Even if it is Nokia, Motorola, or Ericsson, even if they have technical reserves that are incomparable in China, they are still in the process of groping forward.

So join the research and development in this area now, even if you can't catch up with them in a short time, at least you can follow them without falling behind and slowly accumulate strength and background.

Regarding the split and merger of the company, Yang Dongxu explained a general idea, and let Lei Jun and Ye Rongrong handle the specific matters by themselves.

After leaving Huaxia Telecom, he went to the Hurricane Building non-stop. The signing of Century Park has been completed, and the land leveling has started for several months.

The issue of expropriating the design drawings of buildings and parks from outside was also completed when he was in Hong Kong. In the end, the design drawing of the company building used the drawing of a foreign design institute, while the design drawing of the park renovation used the drawing of domestic garden design.

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

After the start of construction, everything went well, but with the fermentation of Hong Kong's real estate downturn. Although the hurricane building is generally stable, the rumors outside have never stopped.

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

This caused many banks that originally borrowed money to come to collect debts, and even the city government asked several times about the specific situation. This made him have to come back early to sit in the magic capital.
