Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

On August 19, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a new batch of mobile phone licenses, and a total of 5 companies obtained them, including Beijin Glory Technology Co., Ltd.

Although Qu Li announced in the central government that he would make a mobile phone, it did not attract the attention of the outside world, and there was no news about his establishment of a mobile phone company after that, so when everyone saw Honor Technology, they did not immediately think of Qu Li.

But things can't be kept secret, the news of Li Yinan's resignation from Huawei also spread at this time, and someone deeply involved in Glory Technology soon discovered Qu Li's trace.

"The Ministry of Industry and Communications is indiscriminately issuing mobile phone licenses, a company established less than half a year ago..."

"Li Yinan joined Glory Technology..."

"Qu Li is the controller behind the scenes of Glory."

"Huxiang's two young geniuses gathered..."

"Qu Li's smartphone dream, a manifesto on the CCTV stage."

"China's iPhone, Honor phone?"

The curiosity of the outside world naturally attracted many people to inquire about the news. What was even more strange was how Honor could obtain a mobile phone license. Could it be that Qu Li had something to do with it?

But Qu Li, who has obtained a mobile phone license, is not idle. He and Zhou Shaoning still need to contact the supply chain, but except for key companies like Texas Instruments and T-Mobile, it is impossible for them to contact them through Google, and bragging is useless. We can only talk one by one.

"Are you going to America again?" Zhou Shaoning asked

"Don't you want T-Mobile to go to China..." Qu Li

"We should set up a branch in the United States."

"That's for sure." Qu Li was still thinking about setting up a research and development center after the subprime mortgage crisis broke out. He remembered that Motorola was about to die, and so many talents made people greedy.

Zhou Shaoning and Qu Li went to the United States to talk about cooperating with T-Mobile to sell mobile phones. This must be endorsed by Google. Otherwise, the sale was banned because of a patent issue. Wouldn't the funds they purchased be in vain?

So, this time I went to the United States to establish a branch of Honor in the United States, to recruit people from Motorola, and to cooperate with quasi-professionals and lawyers who are proficient in mobile phone patents. Fortunately, he has already made arrangements, and the branch in Silicon Valley has long been registered. Yes, hired a professional headhunter.

"I want to go to Warwick before going to America."

"What are you doing in Warwick?"

"Pay the patent fee."

"Do you want to reach a patent agreement with Huawei first, and use this as a standard before negotiating with other mobile phone companies?"

"There is no way. We don't have so many talents who are familiar with communication patents."

It stands to reason that Qu Li's approach does not conform to normal business logic. Huawei's mobile phone is the main competitor of Honor in the future. Isn't it an enemy to give Huawei a patent fee?

"But Huawei may not agree?" Zhou Shaoning said calmly

Of course Qu Li can understand at this time, but the vast network does not understand. Many people think that Huawei is a Chinese female company, so it will be friendly to the inside, but they forget that this is a company that respects wolf culture, regardless of domestic Externally, all competitors and "enemies" are grinning. Otherwise there would be no industry paraquat, the title of black widow.

Here comes the problem. No one sympathizes with the losers. There is only one reason. Huawei invested heavily in research and development, which is a bit of an inversion of cause and effect. financial strength. Harbor is by no means the only example like this, so don't regard Warwick as the savior. With the development of the domestic economy and the technology industry in a new situation, there must be someone who surpasses Warwick in the future. It may be Dajiang, it may be Baidu, it may be some unknown company, who knows?

But our protagonist, Qu Li, has a good impression of Huawei, thinking that anyway, it is cheaper than others, and Huawei's meat rots in the pot if it is cheaper, what a big situation.

Li Yinan, who had just resigned from Huawei, reluctantly contacted Ren Zhengfei. The two parties made an appointment, and Qu Li and his party flew to Pengcheng.

Li Yinan was a little embarrassed to meet at Huawei's headquarters because of business matters. Qu Li was a little excited, but pretended to be nonchalant, which is a necessary quality for an "actor".

"There are two things to come to Huawei this time. One is to obtain the patent authorization of 3G mobile phones. The second is to hope that Huawei can help us obtain patent authorizations from other foreign mobile phone manufacturers at the lowest cost. The smartphones we produce are mainly for the US market..." Qu Li Jiang repeated what Li Yinan had communicated with Ren Zhengfei on the phone

"Huawei has never collected patent fees from domestic companies, and there is no such plan at present."

"But there are always overseas companies that charge Warwick's patent fees, right?"

"What's the difference between you making smartphones and Huawei phones?"

"The biggest difference may be the price. The 2G version is $299, and the 3G version is $399; the second is the operating system, which uses Google's open source Android; finally, our mobile phone is not just a mobile phone, but a tool to open the mobile Internet..."

"Good eloquence!" Ren Zhengfei said flatly, if a person like Qu Li applies for a job at Warwick, he will most likely be regarded as mentally ill, because this old man has had such behaviors. Hua Wei, who is the old man, is a doer, and Yu Dazui probably relies on the navy to rule the world.

"Is Huawei so inferior to Glory?" Ren Zhengfei asked Li Yinan

"Glory benefits and salaries are not as good as Warwick, but excluding Qu Li, the average education of our team is higher than Warwick Research Institute, and the research efficiency is not lower than Warwick, and there is no depression here..." Li Yinan also dared to say, offending two people with one sentence

In the past few months, there have been employees who committed suicide and self-injury in Warwick. If the incident happened in Futukang, they would have been criticized, but Warwick’s wages are high, so many keyboard warriors who have nothing to do with themselves say that these people are in the blessings and don’t know. blessing.

Well, in fact, Qu Li can’t sympathize with elites whose income is so much higher than his own. Isn’t it easy to find a psychologist after being rich and financially free? Isn’t it not easy to enjoy life? More than 90% of the things in this world can be solved with money, how enviable and jealous the troubles of the rich are!

However, Ren Zhengfei feels distressed for the Huawei employees, because many people attribute the problem to Huawei's high-intensity management and corporate culture, and even the communication with the media is strictly restricted, and they can only speak of Huawei's "positive" information.

"Really, then I wish you success, you and..." Ren Zhengfei said a few words before leaving, handing over the stage to his successor.

No, Warwick has not yet started the rotating CEO mode, and Mr. Ren was rehired by Warwick after retirement. And it also started to cooperate with Accenture this year to establish a landmark LTC process.

Honor has only just been established, mobile phones have not yet been mass-produced and sold, there is a fart process, many decisions are made by Qu Li's head, or their high-quality team makes collective decisions.

Unlike Jumei, which is ready to establish a process, because Shopee group buying in the United States became a hit after being promoted by Facebook. The first group buying of $99 coconut shoes sold 10,000 pairs.
