Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1478 Sense of Crisis

Duan Yun has always wanted to develop the science and technology park outside the customs, but now it is impossible to build a building with only his company.

Just like Silicon Valley in the United States, only when more and more enterprises settle in the science and technology parks outside the customs can they give full play to the cluster advantages of the industrial park, complement each other's advantages, and contribute to the development of the entire industry.

However, judging from the current situation, Shenzhen's industry has always been in an initial stage of development. Although compared with the 80s, it mainly relied on three sources and one supplement to support the entire industry. Nowadays, Shenzhen enterprises pay more and more attention to research and development. Due to talent and scale constraints, there are still very few companies with independent research and development capabilities.

Compared with the previous few years, Duan Yun's thinking has changed. A few years ago, he still mainly produced low-end electronic products, but now, he is preparing to play a bigger game of chess and let Tianyin The group grew into a true tech giant.

The establishment of a science and technology park outside the customs, and the establishment of a cluster of R&D centers there are about the next step. Only by making the plate bigger can we attract more funds and talents to join, and ultimately drive the development of high-tech in our own enterprises and even in the whole country. .

The main reason why Duan Yun is willing to help promote the development of the entire country's electronics industry is that developed countries have very strong political and technical barriers. It is difficult for Duan Yun's own company to be on an equal footing with the giants in these European and American countries. Yes, it is very likely that they will be blocked due to political reasons. Only when the overall strength of the country is strong can domestic enterprises gain a relatively advantageous position in international competition.

Including ZTE, Huawei, and some other high-tech companies in Shenzhen have passed the most difficult stage of primitive accumulation and are gradually entering the fast lane of development, and these companies have become world-class technology companies in later generations. More companies settled outside the customs, which is of great help to Duan Yun's development of China's Silicon Valley.

"This is a good thing!" Hearing what Duan Yun said, Ren Zhengfei's eyes lit up.

Although Ren Zhengfei has made some money this year, his family is far from rich, and every penny must be saved. Since they are provided with the office space and equipment of the R&D center for free, Ren Zhengfei will naturally Raise your hands and welcome.

"But there is something I want to make clear to you..." Duan Yun said again suddenly.

"whats the matter?"

"Although I have a 25% stake in your Huawei, I will never interfere with the management and development of your company. I just hope that if your R&D center produces valuable patents in the future, they can provide them to Tianyin Group It's free to use." Duan Yun frowned, and continued: "But don't worry, I won't use your company's technology to compete with you for business, but the electronic products in the future will become more and more complex, and some of you may be used patented technology, nothing more.”

"No problem!" Ren Zhengfei agreed very simply.

For technology companies, technology patents are the foundation of the company. All technology companies cherish their technology patents and will not easily share them with other companies.

But for today's Huawei, it is impossible to refuse Duan Yun's request. On the one hand, it is because Duan Yun is an important shareholder of their company, and on the other hand, Duan Yun is Ren Zhengfei's nobleman. Without Duan Yun's funding, Huawei would not be able to develop to this point. Moreover, Duan Yun would not use Huawei's technology to compete with him. Ren Zhengfei has no reason not to agree.

Another very important point is that Duan Yun now controls the production of Huawei's products and the supply chain of core components, and in the short term, it is impossible for Huawei to find an OEM company with stronger technical capacity and lower cost. , so from this perspective, Tianyin Group controls the lifeline of the entire Huawei company.

"Now that your company is rich, do you have any new plans?" Duan Yun asked.

"If you have money, of course you have to recruit. Our company is really short of people now, not only technical talents, but also management and sales talents." Ren Zhengfei paused, and then said: "I used to only know how to focus on technology, but now It’s no good, communication technology is developing too fast, we Huawei is a small company, if we don’t catch up at this time, even if we want to catch up in the future, we won’t be able to catch up…”

"En." Hearing what Ren Zhengfei said, Duan Yun showed a satisfied look.

Duan Yun can see that Ren Zhengfei has always had a strong sense of crisis, and it is this sense of crisis that has brought him great motivation. Even now that Huawei has become an enterprise with tens of millions of assets , but he still did not show any pride and complacency, which made Duan Yun very satisfied.

Once an entrepreneur is satisfied with the immediate achievements, he is doomed to fail in the future. Duan Yun has been worried that the butterfly effect will affect the future development of Huawei Group, but now it seems that Ren Zhengfei has not let himself down.

"...The other thing is that I want to increase the salary of the employees and design a bonus plan. These young people work too hard, and I, the boss, can't be too stingy..." Speaking of this At that time, Ren Zhengfei smiled, and only heard him continue: "Speaking of which, I am quite lucky. All the employees under me are so capable. Without them, I dare not imagine what kind of situation I will face now... "

"How many employees are there in your company now?" Duan Yun asked.

"It has now expanded to 30 people, and I plan to recruit dozens of people this year to expand the company's staff to hundreds of people and divide them into three project teams..." Ren Zhengfei said.

"Where did you find so many technicians? Also from our Shenzhen talent market?" Duan Yun asked with great interest.

"As far as our company's current salary is concerned, highly educated and experienced technical personnel are not willing to come at all. However, when I was the deputy general manager of Shenzhen Nanhai Petroleum Company, I knew several university presidents. Through their relationship, I arrived at The school directly selects some graduates and brings them back to Shenzhen..." Ren Zhengfei said.

"So that's how it is." Hearing this, Duan Yun suddenly realized.

In the final analysis, Ren Zhengfei used his former father-in-law's connections to directly select talents from universities.

In fact, among the well-known wealthy entrepreneurs who rose up in Shenzhen in the early years, whether it is Ren Zhengfei, Wang Shi, Liu Chuanzhi, Cao Dewang, Huang Guangyu, Ma Huateng, their family backgrounds are extraordinary.

There are very few self-made top rich people who were born in ordinary families...
