Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Meng Qian finally stayed in Canada for a week and worked in 12 companies, including software company OpenText, multimedia office suite software Corel, 3D animation software company Houdini, semiconductor design company Solido Design, etc.

At the same time, I also had dinner with representatives of the Canadian government, met some Canadian investors, Canadian Chinese businessmen, etc., and spent a day shopping around as a tourist. The overall itinerary was not bad.

This trip to Canada gave Meng Qian a better understanding of this country, and some of what Mike said was actually not accurate.

Canada is indeed shifting to the manufacturing industry, but their manufacturing industry is high-end manufacturing, and their original words are not to lighten R\u0026D, but to streamline R\u0026D, which means to shift the focus of R\u0026D to high-end manufacturing, and concentrate on making cars and robots , large aircraft, Canada must be firm on the road of becoming an industrial power.

In addition, Canada’s internal talents are indeed inclined towards finance and management. That’s because Canada seems to want to further concentrate local elites in the government, but Canada’s policy on immigrant talents is very good. Take on more jobs like engineers, and Canada is very good in the software field.

However, Canada has indeed begun to despise the semiconductor industry and the communication industry a little bit. More precisely, in this field, it feels that it cannot compete with the United States anyway. The lack of market is also real, very lacking. When Meng Qian communicated with the representative of the government, the other party also very straightforwardly expressed his willingness to further enter the Chinese market, and asked Meng Qian to connect.

In addition, there is another thing that Meng Qian is very concerned about during this trip to Canada, and that is the development of artificial intelligence in Canada.

Anyone who is engaged in the artificial intelligence industry should know that Canada is a powerful country in artificial intelligence and has three giants in deep learning. However, Meng Qian took the lead in deep learning in this life. It can be seen that it has a great impact on Canada. Meng Qian didn't insist on the big three, and planned to find another chance next time.

It is estimated that Canada in the future will use energy, software and high-end manufacturing as the three core pillar industries.

Knowing almost everything he wanted to know, on May 31, Meng Qian left Canada to return to China.

When Meng Qian was digging deep into Canada, Hou Weigui and Ren Zhengfei were also making efforts in Nihonguo. Hou Weigui had already realized the initial cooperation intention with Nihongguo Electric Co., Ltd., and Huawei had also reached the line with NTT.

Before 4G came out, Nihonguo was still a bit warm in the field of telecommunications. After all, it chose to bind with Europe, especially Nihonguo Electric Co., Ltd., which is the card of Nihongguo in this field. ZTE and Huawei can How many treasures can be dug out of this residual temperature depends on themselves.

Anyway, after returning to China, the three of them had a meal together, and Meng Qian made it clear to them, "Everything we do is paving the way for the 4G era, and the 4G battle is a last stand. Stay behind yourself."

Hou Weigui and Ren Zhengfei are not naive people, so they both understand what the future needs to face, but everyone is not afraid, come and come.

During the meal, Hou Weigui also brought news to Meng Qian, "By the way, Lenovo wants to acquire the Sony Computer Division."

Meng Qian paused while eating, "When did it happen?"

"I heard about it when I went to the Neon Country this time, don't you know?"

"I don't know." Sony's current CEO, Howard, is not a person who has too much contact with Meng Qian, unlike before when he would make phone calls with Meng Qian every year and holiday.

"It is said that it cost 2 billion yuan to smash it down."

"Two billion yuan? Sony's computer division can be worth one billion yuan, which is not bad!" Meng Qian felt that he had heard a joke.

"Isn't it?" Hou Weigui shrugged, "But I understand Lao Liu's mood. Lenovo's development direction was blocked by your Dafeng Group, and he was embarrassed to say that he would give up the international market. Expensive is expensive." It is a little bit, but the purchase of Sony Computer Division will still be of great help to Lenovo's overseas development.

It is estimated that China will have two computer brands that can go global in the future. "

"It's just selling Sony's computers abroad, so it's not an independent brand." Ren Zhengfei muttered.

Hou Weigui glanced at Ren Zhengfei and raised his glass to signal for a drink, so he didn't talk about it anymore. Meng Qian didn't know what to say for a while. It doesn't matter anymore.

At the beginning of June, Lenovo really announced the acquisition of Sony's computer division. The publicity was very lively, and it claimed that through this acquisition, Lenovo would be known to the world.

When Lenovo was doing publicity, Meng Qian went to the BYD headquarters in Shencheng. Just like Meng Qian decided before, BYD's development itself basically does not intervene, except for two things.

The first thing is to expand the breadth of battery production.

BYD has seized the market by relying on mobile phone batteries in recent years. In the next few years, it will focus on car battery packs. It has not paid too much attention to other battery fields, but Meng Qian needs his attention, such as laptop batteries. Meng Qian It must be done by BYD, and Wang Chuanfu naturally agreed. Anyway, the annual computer orders of Dafeng Group alone are enough to support the operating expenses of the computer battery department.

In addition to laptop batteries, there are also batteries for other electronic products. Meng Qian asked BYD to do it, which is preparing for the future.

The second thing is that although BYD Auto will sell more and more in the next few years, everyone knows the reputation of BYD Auto. It can be said that the quality of BYD Auto has been criticized for the next ten years.

Meng Qian discovered the problem when he went to the factory before. The production line is backward and there is no perfect system. It happens that Dafeng Group is doing the system. Naturally, it has installed a set of the most advanced production system and management system for BYD, which can be optimized. Help optimize the place.

In addition, through cooperation with Tesla, BYD has learned a lot of ideas about IT building cars. Meng Qian doesn't know whether it is useful or not. Let's see the future results.

Anyway, if the current BYD wants to compare with Toyota and Honda, the gap must be there, but at least it is better than the previous BYD.

As for Wang Chuanfu's visit to Meng Qian's headquarters today, apart from talking about some of the BYD battery situation, the most important thing is to ask Meng Qian to give the BYD F3 platform. better.

In 2006, amid endless ridicule from the media and consumers, BYD's flagship product, the BYD F3 sedan, was launched. This is BYD's first popular car across the country, and it has also become a classic model that BYD has continued.

In order to better promote F3, Wang Chuanfu naturally asked Meng Qian, the major shareholder, to come out to support the scene.

Sure enough, because of Meng Qian's presence, the entire store was packed. In order to support BYD, Meng Qian personally acted as a shopping guide for the first customer who consulted, which caused a sensation on the scene.

The workmanship of BYD F3 is really good, the steel plate of the body is smooth, the seams are neat, and there is no such thing as cheap and rough.

In terms of power, BYD F3 uses a domestically produced Mitsubishi four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1600cc, which can deliver a maximum power of 100ps at 5800rpm and a maximum torque of 134Nm at 4500rpm.

In terms of configuration, electric doors and windows, power steering, anti-glare rearview mirror, ABS, SRS dual airbags, reversing radar, digital automatic constant temperature air-conditioning, steering wheel audio-visual control system, high-mounted brake lights, navigation system, etc. are all available. Of course, it depends on what configuration the car owner buys.

However, the exterior and interior of the BYD F3 is indeed imitated by the Toyota Corolla sedan, which is fine.

The bare car with the minimum configuration is about 80,000 yuan, which has a great price advantage among models of the same level. At the same time, the Jetta Spring has a low price of 140,000 yuan, and the price is also a key factor for the hot sale of BYD F3.

On the day of listing, Meng Qian ordered 30 BYD F3s as the company's office vehicles.

In the subsequent interview, Wang Chuanfu was the protagonist, and Meng Qian basically didn't say much, until a reporter asked in a strange way, "In the opinion of Mr. Meng and Mr. Wang, when will domestic cars catch up with foreign brands?"

"Domestic cars started decades later than foreign brands, and when we were making progress, they were not waiting in place. Are you too anxious to ask such a question at this time?

And I don't think everything is about results.

If one day we can shorten the 30-year gap in ten years, I think that is something to be proud of. If we still have to laugh at the backwardness from the results, that’s fine. I only hope that those who laugh understand , what you laugh at is the efforts and dreams of many people.

In addition, as long as we are given enough time, I believe that Huaxia's independent brands in various fields will get better and better, and I firmly believe in this. "

After a day of publicity for the launch, more than 100 BYD F3s were ordered in Shencheng that day. At night, Wang Chuanfu lost control of his emotions after not drinking much at the wine table. No! They say I'm a liar, but as I said in 2003, I'm not a liar, it's because they don't see it!"

"Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace." Meng Qian comforted, "The more people ridicule, the more we will do it to death. One day, we will treat those who look down on domestic brands

His face was smashed! "
