Rewrite the Technological Landscape

What Meng Qian proposed changed the atmosphere of today's meeting to a certain extent. As he said, no matter whether this matter is true or not, it is at least a possibility, especially when Meng Qian said nonsense that this matter came from Everyone believed what IBM heard.

This gave this meeting, which was originally aimed at what we should do in case Omi formed an alliance, another theme. If Omi confronts, what benefits can we gain.

When everyone was thinking about this issue, Meng Qian took out the content he had prepared, "From the current situation, I think we can already start to act on some things.

The first is the neon country that was affected by this wave of mergers. No matter what the purpose of this merger wave is, it will definitely make things worse for the already semi-disabled neon country. From the latest news, we can see that Nokia After the merger with Siemens, the stock of Nihonguo Electric Co., Ltd. plummeted.

The reason is also very simple. Judging from the results of the merger, although the two companies each hold 50% of the shares, Nokia is clearly in the dominant position, so some companies that originally cooperated with Siemens will be affected, especially Nihong Guodian. Co., Ltd. is an enterprise that is preparing to conduct in-depth cooperation with Siemens in the field of communications.

Now that Siemens is tied to Nokia, there is nothing to do with Nihonguo Electric Co., Ltd.

And this kind of thing, with the merger of more companies in Europe, will affect more and more companies in the Neon country. What about these companies in the Neon country? They have worked so hard on their own for so many years, and here is the result. Neon Country, which originally wanted to rely on Europe, but is now on the verge of being eliminated, must be seeking new opportunities.

And our Huaxia may become a new opportunity for the neon country. "

"What Mr. Meng means is that we go to cooperate with these abandoned neon companies." Ren Zhengfei answered immediately.

"That's right, although the companies in Neon Country are not as good as European companies, they have a large number of technical reserves and talent reserves. The cooperation between Dafeng Group and Neon Country in recent years includes the cooperation between domestic electrical appliances brands and the brand of Neon Country some time ago. The cooperation has proved this matter, we can get a lot of things from the neon country.

When Europe abandoned Neon Country, we stretched out our hands. I think companies in Neon Country will definitely know how to weigh. "

Many people at the scene nodded subconsciously to express their approval. Meng Qian continued, "In addition to the Neon Country, which is an important goal for us, there is another goal, and that is the communication equipment distributor."

As soon as Meng Qian finished speaking, Hou Weigui and Ren Zhengfei showed obvious expressions, but neither of them interrupted Meng Qian, "For example, Juniper Networks, a US company, Siemens itself accounts for 10% of its product sales.

And with the merger of Nokia and Siemens, will companies that cooperate with Nokia adopt products like Juniper? For example, in the field of data communication products, will Nokia abandon Cisco, an old ally, and choose Juniper Networks? I think this is absolutely impossible.

In other mergers and acquisitions, there are also such problems. These affected distributors urgently need to find new partners. However, with the merger of enterprises, the overall number of communication equipment manufacturers is actually decreasing, and those acquirers also have What should they do with their own cooperative distributors?

Can Huawei and ZTE do something at this time? "

Meng Qian glanced at Hou Weigui and Ren Zhengfei respectively, and they both gave Meng Qian a smile.

Meng Qian also responded with a nod, "Let me talk about the last suggestion. In this wave of mergers and acquisitions, will there be companies in Europe that are also affected, and does China have a chance to squeeze into this wave of mergers and acquisitions?

For example, this company that I have followed for a long time, Nortel Networks. "

Meng Qian's gaze fell on Nortel, which once again aroused the obvious mood swings of everyone present.

Nortel Networks belongs to the aristocracy, whose ancestry can be traced back to Alexander Bell, the inventor of the telephone.

After Bell invented the world's first telephone in 1876, he soon established the Bell Telephone Company and set up a branch in Canada. Later, the mechanical manufacturing department of this branch in Canada gradually became independent in 1895, and in 1914, Northern Electronics, the predecessor of Nortel Networks, was established.

This company has been a Canadian national treasure-level technology company since its establishment. In 1969, Luo Shijie joined Nortel Networks and served as the CEO of the group in 1995. He did a very awesome thing.

At that time, optical fiber communication had been widely used, but the market generally believed that the bandwidth of 2.5G was the limit, and no one would use it no matter how high the speed was. Luo Shijie uniquely led Nortel to develop 10G optical communication products. As a result, the market demand exceeded supply, completely throwing off the biggest competitor, Lucent, with a market share as high as 90%.

At that time, Nortel Niu claimed that all its employees were rich, because the company issued options worth more than one billion yuan to employees, which was more than one billion yuan in the 1990s. At that time, the housing price in Ottawa, where Nortel headquarters is located, rose by 60 per year. %, and according to reports at the time, the housing prices were completely speculated by Nortel employees because they were so rich.

In 2000, Nortel had a market value of 267 billion yuan, but it was such an awesome company. In the Internet bubble in 2000, it staged a real crash, and its market value fell from 267 billion to 11 billion. At that time, it caused an uproar, and countless media were so surprised that they couldn't find a suitable adjective.

This is also one of the reasons why Meng Qian can always maintain self-confidence. No matter how powerful an empire is, it only collapses in an instant. Many things that are impossible in the eyes of the public, Meng Qian just thinks possible, but if he does not believe in himself, then It is indeed impossible.

But the crash is the crash, which will make Nortel Networks not dead. After all, where is the foundation? The last straw that crushed Nortel is because next year he joined Intel's fake WiMAX.

According to the latest data report in the first quarter of 2006, Nortel has a 10% share in the global wireless infrastructure market, about 7% in the GSM/WCDMA market, and about 22% in the CDMA infrastructure market.

In addition, there are more than 6,000 patents within Nortel.

And these patents will be acquired by companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Ericsson at a price of 4.5 billion yuan in 2011. As for Nortel's market, Ericsson, Ciena, GenBand and other companies will spend 1 billion yuan to take it all away. If Meng Qian is not tempted, it is really a ghost.

Of course, how to grab these things is not easy. When Nortel went bankrupt, Huawei was almost the first company to rush to the Canadian government to propose acquisition intentions. In the end, Huawei and ZTE did not even buy a single patent.

It just accepted a group of employees who lost their jobs because of the bankruptcy of Nortel.

However, in Meng Qian's view, some things are not completely helpless, so at the scene, because Meng Qian could not talk about Nortel Networks from the perspective of WiMAX, he could only analyze from other angles, "With the development of Omi's mergers and acquisitions, , the pressure on Nortel will increase, and Nortel's market will be further squeezed, but judging from the current performance of European companies, they actually hold a very negative attitude towards Nortel.

Perhaps for them, Nortel is difficult to bring them anything, but for us, Nortel may just make up for our lack of foundation, you can think about it. "

The suggestions at the meeting ended here, and I didn’t go any further, because the next thing involved specific details and needed to be discussed in private.
