Chapter 2190 2G Mobile Phone
After the visit, Duan Yun returned to the hotel where he was staying, and just returned to the room after dinner, when he received a call from Shenzhen.

And this time it was none other than Ren Zhengfei, the general manager of Huawei, who called him.

"Mr. Duan, I want to meet with you. I have something important to discuss with you." Ren Zhengfei said to Duan Yun on the phone.

"I'm in Shanghai now, and I won't be able to go back until two days later. What important things do you have, can you talk about it on the phone first?" Duan Yun said.

"Actually, the 2G mobile phone we jointly developed last year has already produced a sample, and the product demonstration cannot be performed on the phone, so I want you to experience the new product..." Ren Zhengfei on the other end of the phone said a little excitedly.

"A 2G mobile phone has been made!?" Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and asked repeatedly: "Are you in Shenzhen now?"

"Yes, I'm in Shenzhen."

"I'll go back tomorrow morning, I'll go to your company to find you, you wait for me." Duan Yun said.

"Ok."

"That's it, let's meet and talk." After Duan Yun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Duan Yun was very excited. He lit a cigarette and took a puff before walking to the window.

Duan Yun did not expect that Huawei had developed a 2G mobile phone so quickly, which was more than half a year earlier than his previous plan.

After Duan Yun participated in the CES exhibition in the United States last year, he was deeply attracted by the mobile phone supporting the 2G communication system displayed by Motorola, and through special channels, he bought a new Motorola 2G mobile phone, as well as related product manuals and material.

For 2G mobile phones, Duan Yun was very impressed in his previous life. The first mobile phone in his life was a 2G mobile phone. The brand was Bird mobile phone, which was very famous in China.

At that time, the mobile phone used by the cloud was not smart. The screen was a small black and white screen, which could usually display some time, battery power, etc. If the corresponding service was purchased, it also had a caller ID function and could also receive text messages.

In fact, in 1996, China just started 2G communication network operation at the beginning of the year. In March, 3k SIM cards and prepaid phone cards were launched. At that time, there were already 8 countries and regions in 94 countries and regions. A network operator with more than 167 million users.

However, 2G really began to spread in China after 2001. Although there are 2G networks in China, they are mainly concentrated in some first-tier cities and important provincial capitals, and they cannot yet achieve nationwide coverage.

But in any case, the convenience of 2G mobile phones is still regarded as revolutionary. Compared with 1G, calls are much clearer and more stable.

As for Duan Yun, he still uses the big brother he bought a few years ago. One is in his car and can be carried with him, and the other is installed in Duan Yun's private jet, which was specially customized for Duan Yun by Gulfstream. Yes, you can make satellite calls, which are currently the most high-end phones.

At present, the 2G mobile phones sold in China are basically produced by Motorola, and the price is very expensive. Compared with the original mobile phone, it is even worse.

In fact, the cost of Motorola's new 2G mobile phone is far lower than the first-generation 1G mobile phone it launched at the beginning, but in the absence of domestic competitors, they can set the price very high. BJ's Motorola counter, the price of such a 2G mobile phone can be as high as 2 yuan, which is far from what ordinary people can afford.

Therefore, if Tianyin Group can develop domestic 2G mobile phones, it can greatly reduce the threshold for domestic 2G mobile phone users. On the other hand, it can quickly occupy the entire domestic mobile phone market. This will definitely become a new profit growth point for the group company in the future. .

As for Duan Yun, one of the most important reasons for expanding his mobile business is that he knows how much smart phones will have an impact on people's lives in later generations. In addition to the sales of mobile phones themselves, Duan Yun can also enter the platform of his own mobile phones. Injecting more apps into smartphones will enable Telling Group to obtain very high profits in terms of both hardware and software, and it will also lay a solid foundation for its future wireless payment and shopping industry projects.

So after receiving a call from Ren Zhengfei, Duan Yun immediately decided to shorten his trip in Shanghai and return to Shenzhen to meet Ren Zhengfei.

That night, Duan Yun asked his assistant Guo Kai to call the airport in advance, and the next morning, he boarded his private jet and returned to Shenzhen.

Over the years, with the help of Duan Yun, Huawei has developed very rapidly, and now it has become one of the strongest technology companies in Shenzhen.

Just last year in 1995, the market position of Huawei's self-developed digital program-controlled switches was greatly improved, marking that Huawei had entered a stage of rapid development.

However, at this time, with the transformation of the company's business, Huawei's low level of corporate management has gradually been exposed.

At the beginning of this year, Ren Zhengfei engaged in a "shocking, weeping ghosts and gods" event within Huawei: Huawei's marketing department resigned collectively from the main leaders to the directors of the regional offices; Development potential and business development needs to be hired.

The reason why Ren Zhengfei will carry out a "big reshuffle" internally is that Ren Zhengfei intends to adopt the method of collective resignation, so that everyone can "return to zero" and start in the same position; Fair competition opportunities, truly realize that the capable will go up and the mediocre will go down.

In addition, there is another very important thing for Huawei this year, that is, they plan to relocate their headquarters from the bustling urban area of ​​SZ to the relatively desolate Longgang in Shenzhen.

Judging from this series of generous measures, Huawei has now entered a very critical period of restructuring. Ren Zhengfei is a very capable person who has reported responsibility. Compared with ordinary entrepreneurs, he has a more strategic vision. The development of Huawei in later generations also proved his vision and ability.

Duan Yun chose Huawei as his partner in the research and development of 2G mobile phones. On the one hand, Tianyin Group has too many projects and cannot spare more scientific research personnel to develop 2G mobile phones. Moreover, it does not need to conduct overall research and development. The technology of the core chip of the mobile phone is enough, so Huawei, which has relatively strong R&D capabilities, has become the best choice for Duan Yun to cooperate with.

On the other hand, until now, Duan Yun still controls 25% of Huawei's shares. From this point of view, Duan Yun is also willing to share a piece of the pie with Huawei. Can.
