Rewrite the Technological Landscape

After returning to the office from the R\u0026D center, Meng Qian was not in a hurry to talk about cooperation. He chatted, drank tea, and talked about feelings. Anyway, Mike couldn't run away.

Of course, in fact, the reason for creating a relaxed chatting atmosphere is because there is one more thing Meng Qian wants to hear from Mike, which is his views on Canada and the relationship between the Canadian government and enterprises.

As for why you asked him, of course it was not because he needed his insights to understand Canada. Dafeng Group spent so much energy to understand Canada and did thousands of market researches. For the layout, he needs to know how the CEO of Nortel Networks views this issue, which is very critical.

“To be honest, I like Canada very much. I remember that Canada has been among the top three most popular immigrant countries in the world in recent years. In terms of immigration convenience and respect for immigrants, Canada has long been the first.

It can be said that although Canada is not a neutral country, I feel a more peaceful atmosphere in Canada than in Switzerland. "

Of course, Mike’s opinion only represents his own, and what Meng Qian needs to know is his personal opinion, so he asked, “Can Mr. Mike share something more specific?”

Mike felt that he did not realize Meng Qian's purpose, and he just said in a casual manner, "Which of the two schools of thought do you like the most?"

ok, start again

Meng Qian felt his head buzzing. Foreigners like Chinese culture and Meng Qian welcomes them, but everything is too late. This Mike can really refer to Chinese traditions in these two days, making Meng Qian and Ren Zhengfei very drunk.

So Meng Qian's first reaction was that he didn't want to respond, and Ren Zhengfei answered Confucianism.

Then I saw Mike waving his hand there, "I like Mohism the most among all schools of thought."

"Mohist? Why?" Meng Qian still forced himself to cooperate and asked, and at the same time, he also gave himself psychological training. Talking about philosophy is the easiest way to talk about a person's heart, and it's also very good, so let's talk.

"Compared to the Confucian view of love with differences, I prefer the Mohist thought of universal love without distinction. When I first came into contact with Mohist thought, I thought it was a very idealistic idealism, but after I really studied it, it made me think Realize that Mohism is the great wisdom.

Most scholars interpret Mohism's idea of ​​universal love on the two points of equality and fraternity, but I have a different view. I think Mohist thought is actually expressing the laws of nature objectively. "

"Laws of nature?" Both Meng Qian and Ren Zhengfei were curious.

"The Mohist's proposal that officials are impermanently expensive, and that people will never be cheap, seems to be advocating equality, but looking back at the history of human civilization, one may be surprised to find that this is not fairness, but the law of nature.

Why are officials impermanently expensive and why people are forever cheap? Is it because the upper class is suddenly willing to give equality? Obviously not, but history is repeating itself again and again, which makes people feel interesting. I gradually discovered that there seems to be fairness between heaven and earth, but this fairness is not the fairness we usually understand. It is actually a law. It is a natural law that integrates all factors of the universe. "

In all fairness, what Mike said still aroused Meng Qian's desire to communicate, "Anyone will bring his own subjective thinking when looking at a problem. Perhaps Mr. Mike has sublimated Mohist thought."

Mike immediately shook his head to deny Meng Qian's statement, "No, I think this is the real thought of Mohism, because Mohism also put forward another thing, promoting talents and advocating science. Since universal love is actually a natural law, how to realize universal love , not by the so-called love, but by science, which coincides with my understanding of Mohism.

Mohism promotes virtuousness, Confucianism promotes benevolence, a benevolent monarch or a virtuous monarch, which one is more suitable to be a king? A virtuous gentleman values ​​science, culture, convincing people with ability, management with system, benevolent people with great love, advocating etiquette, convincing people with virtue, and managing with etiquette. In today's society, which one is more suitable? Mr. Meng, as the leader of Dafeng Group At the helm, there should be an answer.

When I first read "The Drama of the Three Kingdoms", I didn't know it was a novel. When I was reading the official history, I felt that it was difficult for Shu to become a great weapon, because Liu Bei promoted benevolence and Cao Cao promoted virtuous people. It's as simple as that. "

"The dispute between benevolent and virtuous has never stopped for thousands of years, but the virtuous and virtuous are often villains in film and television works." Ren Zhengfei said with a smile.

Mike also responded with a smile, "But at least he can be a big villain. People who are benevolent but not virtuous, most of them die in the first episode."

"So what does this have to do with Canada? Mr. Mike thinks Canada is following the path of the Mohists?" Meng Qian wanted to bring the topic back.

"First of all, Canada is definitely not taking the Mohist way on its own initiative, but in my opinion, Canada is passively following the Mohist way. The history of Canada is actually very simple, short history, the mainland has never been invaded, and Britain was the big brother Follow the United Kingdom, and the United States will follow the United States when it becomes the big brother.

Occupying the second largest territory in the world, it does not fight or grab, and there is no dream of a big country. "

"There are only 30 million people in total, so what is there to fight for?" Meng Qian subconsciously said.

Mike added with a smile, "And out of the 30 million people, the British accounted for 45% and the French accounted for 29%."

After finishing speaking, Mike changed the topic, "But should we also admit a problem, if Canada has the heart to compete and the dream of being a big country, he can make some policy changes to change the status quo. The British territory is very large. What? The population is so large? But the sun never sets on them.

But Canada has always been conforming, conforming to reality, conforming to nature, conforming to the law, so as to find a suitable position to settle down.

I always think that it is not that Canada has no choice but to not fight, but that it is best for them to know that not to fight. They have chosen the most suitable development route for them. Living the best welfare in the world, living the most comfortable life, enjoying the most peaceful life, isn't this what the common people want most? "

Meng Qian had some different views in his heart, but the purpose of this conversation was to understand Mike's thoughts, so he didn't open his mouth, and patiently listened to Mike's continued, "At the same time, Canada has integrated the most ethnic groups and religions in the world, but there are no sharp contradictions." , Even Quebec's struggle for independence is very orderly. Such peace is not easy, and there is wisdom behind it.

And under the iceberg of wisdom is the virtuous promotion I mentioned just now.

Mr. Meng can learn about the resumes of core Canadian politicians. A superior family background and a proud education are the threshold for entering the Canadian government. The Canadian government gathers domestic elites.

And many people say that Canada has no offensive capability and has only less than 100,000 troops, but don't forget that Canada is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the only land is the United States.

As long as the United States does not move Canada, Canada will now be able to defend itself by disarming half of it. Could it be that you swim from the sea to beat him? This is smart. "

It can be seen that Mike is quite optimistic about Canada, Meng Qian thought about it and asked straightforwardly, "What does Mr. Mike think of Canada's technology industry?"

"It can be seen that the Canadian government has indeed made some changes in the past few years. From the perspective of talent training strategies, Canada has obviously shifted more resources to finance and management. From the perspective of industrial structure, Canada has proposed in the past two years The strategy of ignoring R\u0026D and emphasizing manufacturing.

It is already an irresistible trend to further rely on the United States in the field of industry and technology. What the government needs more now is not technology, but the market. There is almost no domestic demand market in Canada. "

"Then, for Nortel Networks, this is the domestic environment that has to be considered. Light research and development is obviously not conducive to the development of Nortel. What is Mr. Mike's plan?"

"As I said just now, Canada is always looking for its most suitable position, and as a Canadian company, the best way to survive is also to find a suitable position, so Nortel has to keep up with the changes in Canada's policies. Team, and seek their own development space.

However, if Nortel wants to develop for a long time, it must not underestimate R\u0026D. This is also a huge challenge I am facing now. "

Meng Qian and Ren Zhengfei looked at each other subconsciously, and then slowly changed the subject.

After dinner that night, Mike went back to the hotel to rest, while Ren Zhengfei stayed with Meng Qian in the office.

Meng Qian sat cross-legged on the sofa, fell into deep thought for a long time, and slowly listed the situation in front of him.

"Canada will continue its pro-rice policy for a long time, the impact of Canadian policy changes on high R\u0026D companies, Canada needs the market now.

Mike decided to follow Canada in the general direction, which also explains why Nortel Networks bet on the United States when the whole world is not optimistic about the standards of the United States. It is foreseeable that Nortel Networks will be more inclined to the development of the United States in the future.

But tilting the United States is for production, and will not reduce the level of research and development. At the same time, we have no chance to intervene in the American market of Nortel Networks.”

This is what Meng Qianneng told Ren Zhengfei, and there are two factors in his heart: Nortel's joining of WiMAX and the 2008 financial crisis.

After sorting out his thoughts for a long time, Meng Qian made a decision, "Mr. Ren, I plan to stabilize the research and development relationship with Nortel first, and then go to Canada."

"What are your plans?"

"The door of Nortel Networks has actually been opened. There is no reason not to go in and take a good look. Since there are policy changes in Canada, I kind of want to see what other companies think."

Because there are two most important pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that cannot be discussed, Meng Qian has no way to explain the specific plan to Ren Zhengfei, and because of this, it is said that Ren Zhengfei can't understand what Meng Qian wants to do.

But maybe it is really because Huawei has been dealing with the West for too long in the past two years. In the absence of two important factors, Ren Zhengfei has calculated something, "Is Nortel Networks good for Mr. Meng?" On the springboard, Meng is always ulterior motives, but at ATI, right?"

Still the same sentence, the two most important things cannot be said, Meng Qian could only respond with a smile, "I am a drunkard because of the wine and the mountains and rivers.

I am very greedy and want everything. "
