Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Regarding this matter, Meng Qian made a phone call to confirm with Ren Zhengfei, because there were some details Meng Qian wanted to know.

Sure enough, Ren Zhengfei confirmed Meng Qian's idea. Lenovo is actually on the verge of bankruptcy, but Lenovo has too many employees, and there are so many government orders. The placement of employees and the follow-up orders and services for direct bankruptcy It's a big problem to deal with.

Therefore, all parties are also coming forward, hoping that a company can directly take over Lenovo, so that employees can at least continue to be employed.

Therefore, the actual purchase price will be very low, and Huawei will not take over Lenovo's debts.

Meng Qian is still satisfied with this result. Meng Qian is not happy to see Lenovo going bankrupt. Indeed, what should the employees do? If they have to talk about voting, the votes are not voted by the employees. What is buried with the decisions of several managers.

Huawei can buy Lenovo at a low price to expand its own strength while ensuring the survival of employees. This is very good, and Huawei has confirmed that it will give up the Lenovo brand.

After the acquisition, there will be no Lenovo in the world.

On the afternoon of January 5th, Meng Qian called the executives to the meeting room, and it was time for the year-end meeting. In 2011, Dafeng Group once again handed over a satisfactory answer sheet, with a turnover of more than 1.5 trillion, which was the best among all.

But everyone seems not particularly happy, because in terms of product development, the company is fully expected to break through 2 trillion in turnover in 2011. The problem is that in the Omi region, especially in the United States, the company has suffered a lot of suppression.

Meng Qian’s request last year was to increase exports, but judging from this year’s results, if it weren’t for the events of the Neon Country, the proportion of exports would hardly increase, which is where everyone’s pressure lies.

"The more we develop, the more restrictions the market will have. The so-called free market is bullshit." Xiao Boshi said bluntly. He has been running around for this matter in the past year, but there has been no good breakthrough.

"Since you have all realized that the free market is bullshit, why haven't I seen you make any preparations for the Asian market?" Meng Qian followed Xiao Boshi's words seriously, and the conference room fell into silence.

Meng Qian continued to reprimand, "Our earliest troubles were in the US market, and later spread to the European market. Even with the simplest reasoning logic, it will be the turn of the Asian market sooner or later. We are now putting a lot of effort into exporting to deal with the situation in the West. They are all placed in the Asian market. If there is any problem in the Asian market, we will not only have a problem of slowing export growth in the next two years, but we may see a negative number next year.

It's been a year and I haven't seen anyone take the initiative to talk to me about the solution to this problem, what are you waiting for? Playing with soldiers to cover up water and earth? "

To be honest, Meng Qian is really disappointed on this issue, so he must beat everyone on this occasion, especially when 2012 is coming.

The meeting room fell into complete silence, no one spoke, because it was really not done well, and there was nothing to say.

"All your bonuses this year will be used to subsidize the company's R\u0026D center." Since everyone didn't speak, Meng Qian directly punished them.

Everyone accepted the punishment obediently, and at the same time they were also thinking about their own problems.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao will continue to talk about the situation in overseas markets."

"One of the characteristics of the overseas market in 2011 is the acceleration of mergers and acquisitions. IBM acquired 22 companies in 2011, of which 12 transactions exceeded 100 million yuan, and 19 of these 22 companies are all in the direction of cloud computing. and artificial intelligence.

At the same time, we can see that Microsoft acquired 8 companies in 2011, Google acquired 7 companies in 2011, and Cisco acquired 6 companies in 2011.

The entire US technology companies set off a wave of acquisitions in 2011, and the acquisition targets were basically cloud computing and artificial intelligence companies.

It is obvious that cloud computing and artificial intelligence have become the clear competition direction of global technology companies. At the same time, after several years of baptism, this competition has begun to tend to be centralized.

The future will be a head-to-head confrontation between major global technology companies. "

"After several years of repeated verification in the market, everyone has confirmed the feasibility and development potential of cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Our advantage is that we have chosen to be steadfast when others hesitate and have achieved a certain concept lead. But the pure concept lead has basically ended since 2012.

Our disadvantage is that the overall domestic level is still lacking. The entire cloud computing and artificial intelligence involve too many fields, and the entire cloud intelligence technology is a team and group cooperation that relies on extremely high technology. America is so difficult. "

"I'm going to have a good talk with domestic entrepreneurs about this matter in the next period of time." Meng Qian made a statement, because what everyone said was indeed true, Meng Qian had to find someone who could face it with him. The ally of the mighty enemy.

Looking at the development of each department of the company, everything is basically developing steadily in a rhythm, and Meng Qian does not need to worry too much. There is only one product that has begun to show an obvious downward trend, and that is Fengxin.

"Twitter has developed too fast in the past few years, especially in the western market, Twitter is rapidly encroaching on our Fengxin market.

At the same time, social software like INS is also developing rapidly. "

"Fengxin is just like Windows, because of the early development and the need for forward compatibility, there will inevitably be bloated problems that are difficult to solve over time.

We have been aware of this problem a few years ago, but relying on the dependence of social users to ensure product activity, until the emergence of more and more social software in the past few years, users began to gradually divide, and Fengxin became more and more open. The more they are rejected by the older age group.

We can notice that the activity of Fengxin users over 25 years old has been declining. "

"So what do you think?"

"Microsoft's experience tells us that companies need to admit the problem of product bloat, and launch new products in a timely manner, instead of dying on old products. We have to accelerate the speed of launching new products."

"Didn't it mean that the data foundation hasn't been set up yet?" Gu Junhui asked uncertainly.

"It's true that there are still some problems. I'll go back and make a connection." Fang Chen said that he will deal with this matter.

Meng Qian could see that everyone had already discussed this matter before, so he nodded his head to express his approval and let everyone do it quickly, "Speaking of this, let me mention by the way that Microsoft's Windows 8 is coming this year, and WP8 is also coming. On the other hand, under the turmoil of Apple’s top management, the market for Apple’s iPhone 5 has been highly doubted. Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S3 will continue to stick to the Android system. Intel’s Astro Boy is likely to enter 22nm this year. In the era, BlackBerry is said to be launching their ace model. As for Symbian, they are basically ready to withdraw.

Therefore, for the entire mobile phone industry, 2012 is very likely to be the year that ends the chaos and moves towards a foregone conclusion. Regarding smartphones, I need you to give me a comprehensive plan to predict what will happen to these companies. In different situations, how do we maintain our position in the industry. "

"clear."

"Mr. Meng, since you have mentioned smartphones, I still want to ask, are we really not going to invest in Xiaomi?" Shao Yibo hesitated for a while before he raised this question, which was a matter of great concern to him.

"Why are you so attached to Xiaomi?" Meng Qian asked back.

"I have submitted many times about Xiaomi's development and model analysis in the past two years. I think Xiaomi will have a lot of room for development in the future. It is obviously the right thing to invest in Xiaomi at this time."

"First of all, I never said that I would not let you invest in Xiaomi, I just kept asking you a question, what is the investment structure of Dafeng Investment?

I talked to you about this issue when you came here. I hope that the future investment structure of Dafeng Investment will not only be profit-making. Investment profit is the foundation of an investment company. But as an investment company under the Dafeng Group, I hope that Dafeng Investment will Can consider the long-term development pattern of the group.

And we have communicated before, I hope Dafeng Capital is an investment company involved in entrepreneurship, rather than a pure capital investment company.

However, the investment structure of Dafeng Capital in the past few years has made me feel a little crisis, because the entire investment structure is aimed at monopoly.

It’s not that I don’t allow you to invest in Xiaomi. I also believe that Xiaomi will achieve certain results in the future. I’m just reminding you how to invest with Dafeng Investment. "

People change, especially with changes in status, responsibilities, and circumstances, so Meng Qian does not force people in the company to not forget their original aspirations. This is a very normal thing. Everyone is a layman. It is those who ask others to be perfect.

What Meng Qian can do is to maintain his original aspirations, and try to pull them back on track when the people around him change.

Meng Qian reminded Shao Yibo about Xiaomi, and today, he used Shao Yibo to advance all the executives present.

It can be said that this year's year-end meeting is like a meeting of Meng Qian's criticism of the top management, but Meng Qian must not be polite to them. Being polite to them is to push the company into the abyss. The current Dafeng Group must pull out a Absolutely excellent top management.

Shao Yibo began to reflect, and stopped talking. At this time, Xiao Boshi continued, "By the way, HTC is planning to increase its investment in the mainland market in 2012."

"HTC? Aren't they busy with a lawsuit with Apple recently?"

"Yes, then the United States directly drove HTC out of the United States, and now HTC, like us, cannot enter the American market, and they began to shift their focus to the mainland.

Several statements made by HTC at the beginning of the year have also clearly expressed HTC's determination to enter the mainland market, and claimed that the mainland is the world's largest mobile phone consumer market. "

"2012!" Meng Qian recalled the scene in his memory that the ham sausage became popular for a while in the next few years.

"HTC didn't look down on the Huaxia market before, and the Huaxia market is really delicious every day."

Meng Qian thought in his heart, and then looked at Xiao Boshi, "Go and talk to the legal department, let's sue HTC for infringement."
