Chapter 635 The Rising Undercurrent (4K)

The morning sky is bright.

A red flag car flying a red flag stopped at the entrance of the villa, and Wang Ben carried the luggage into the trunk.

"Let's go back."

Lu Fei got into the car and waved goodbye to Gao Yuanyuan and others.

Watched by them, the red flag car sped away and drove to the airport without hindrance.

When Lu Fei climbed up the boarding ladder, he saw Secretary Huang standing at the entrance of the cabin. He led himself in, introducing the itinerary and precautions for the trip to Europe while walking.

"This time I will visit four countries and the EU headquarters."

"The first stop is Germany."

"Stay for one day, leave on the 27th..."

"Wait, my team has already arrived in Germany ahead of schedule to contact Qimonda and Dresdner Bank. Can I stay in Germany and participate in Qimonda's bailout bid?"

Lu Fei stretched out two fingers, "Only two days."

Secretary Huang said: "In principle, no one is allowed to leave the group. We need to ask the leader for instructions on this matter."

Lu Fei nodded, and just as he walked to the area where the corporate delegation was, a hearty laugh with Gui Pu came along.

"Hi, Mr. Lu!"

Ren Zhengfei stood up and said hello.

"President Ren!"

Lu Fei glanced at him, and then at the people next to him. This business trip, everyone can bring an entourage. He chose Wang Ben, and it was Yu Chengdong who followed Ren Zhengfei.

"President Lu, I heard that you are going for Qimonda this time?" Ren Zhengfei shook hands with him.

Lu Fei nodded without concealing, "Yangtze River Storage will never let go of this opportunity. With Qimonda, the domestic memory supply chain can advance for at least five years, especially high-end."

"Yangtze River Storage has 3D flash memory, and has Qimonda's production capacity and Dram memory. In the global memory field, it can at least compete with the top five, but other peers will not let Mr. Lu succeed easily, right?" Yu Chengdong also shook hands with him. start.

"We have this confidence that Qimonda's final destination will definitely be YMTC. Even if it doesn't succeed, it's not that there is no way out, it's just a long way to go. YMTC will rise a few years later, but sooner or later it will enter the world's No. First echelon."

Lu Fei sat on the seat and put on his seat belt.

"Well said! Good!"

Ren Zhengfei gave a thumbs up, "It's like climbing a snow mountain. Climb up slowly. Once you can't climb anymore, slide down for a while. At worst, you can continue to climb up. Anyway, you will be able to climb to the top of the mountain one day."

We chatted for a while, during which the flight attendant checked the condition of the seat belt.

"Mr. Ren, what is Huawei thinking about Nortel Networks?" Lu Fei poked his mouth secretly, and Meng Xiaozhou could serve as the deputy head of the acquisition team sent by Logic.

"It's been discussed in the boardroom."

Ren Zheng said quickly, "There is no problem in cooperation between Huawei and Logic. Nortel Networks has more than 6000 patents, wireless communications, 4G wireless networks, data networks, semiconductors, enterprise networks, and Internet telephony. They are all very interesting."

"But Mr. Lu."

Yu Chengdong suddenly interjected: "As an old rival of Nortel Networks, we know this rival very well. Its attitude towards Huaxia enterprises is very arrogant, even bad, and it may refuse..."

"As long as they're not arrogant about money."

Lu Fei looked at him from the left and Yu Chengdong from the right.

"Boss Lu is right. They only recognize money but not people." Ren Zhengfei then mentioned the funds needed for the acquisition.

Lu Fei snapped his fingers and counted carefully.

The value of more than 6000 patents will be around US$8 million, and the entire Nortel network should be worth US$22.5 billion.

"It's not far from what we expected."

Ren Zhengfei then asked about the distribution plan within the consortium.

"First of all, logic and Google account for at least 60% of the entire investment ratio to ensure control over the distribution of assets."

Lu Fei said truthfully: "We will license our patents to members of the Android Open Alliance. Members can enjoy preferential prices lower than market prices and avoid falling into patent traps. And this licensing fee, logic and Google will all pass on profits to other members of the consortium... ..."

"In addition, other people in the consortium want to apply these patents to their own mobile phone terminal business, free of charge..."

"This is the key!"

Yu Chengdong coughed deliberately, "Mr. Ren has spoken, Huawei can only do communications, not mobile phones, anyone who wants to mention it will be laid off immediately! Even if the king of heaven comes!"

Ren Zhengfei stared and said awkwardly: "Old Yu said it was a little romantic, but the meaning is correct. Huawei's biggest problem now is the terminal business, and we have been considering selling it."

"I know, but it didn't work out in the end."

Lu Fei nodded.

Huawei Terminal originally planned to sell at least 49% of its shares at an asking price of US$40 billion, but after several rounds of bidding, Bain Capital, the highest, was only willing to pay about US$30 billion.

After all, the current Huawei terminal is just a mobile phone foundry similar to Foxconn, and it is not that valuable.

Compared with Foxconn's price-earnings ratio, it is worth up to 32 billion.

"That's right, in the midst of the terrible global financial crisis, the price offered is too far from what I expected. This matter will be left alone." Ren Zhengfei changed the subject, "President Lu, if you're interested, I might as well give you the price." Can I sell the entire Huawei terminal to you?"

"Sell it to me?"

"Of course, Huawei HiSilicon cannot be sold."

"Don't tease me, I have logic, why buy another Huawei terminal?" Lu Fei was moved, but pretended not to care, "Mr. Ren, I don't quite understand why you are so against Huawei. Are you in the mobile phone business?"

Ren Zhengfei felt ashamed to say it, and gave Yu Chengdong a look, and saw him understand that Huawei Terminal failed because of the PHS business, and the mobile phone department lost money for six or seven years.

The key is that Huawei makes mobile phones purely to cooperate with European operators. Now that the European market has opened up, and there are logical corners of each other, Huawei's entire terminal appears to be——

Tasteless to eat and a pity to discard!

"Mobile phone is a long-term thing, thankless."

Ren Zhengfei stated his conclusion.

"Mr. Ren, you can't say that."

Lu Fei waved his hand, "3G equipment does make money, but it can only be sold once, and it needs to compete with European and American manufacturers such as Ericsson and Nokia. They dare not raise prices, and there is not much profit. Terminals can be sold many times, with an average of 2 to 3 Every year, you need to change your mobile phone, and every 3 to 5 years, you need to change your tablet, computer, or MP3 player.”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lu is right!"

Yu Chengdong slapped his thigh, very excited.

Ren Zhengfei glared at him, and saw that Yu Chengdong didn't dare to breathe, and stared at Lu Fei silently.

"Mr. Ren, although the PHS business has failed, Huawei has also accumulated valuable experience. Besides, in the global smart phone field, if there is another Huawei, it will be a 2-on-2 competition with Samsung and Apple." Lu Fei suggested Said, "Otherwise, it's fine to buy Huawei terminals, but can the Three Body Fund buy individual stocks?"

Speaking of which, he said the price he had already prepared——

Take a 34% stake in Huawei Terminal with US$49 billion.

"You want to buy shares?!"

Ren Zhengfei couldn't help but startled when he heard this.

Yu Chengdong immediately became anxious, what are you waiting for!

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth turned upward, "Mr. Ren, the watershed between a great company and an ordinary company is to face difficulties. Should we bravely solve the problem or avoid it? If Huawei escapes this time, what should we do if we encounter other difficulties in the future?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Lu is right, Mr. Ren..."

Yu Chengdong was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Old Yu, shut your big mouth."

Ren Zhengfei gouged out his eyes, and pondered for a while, "Mr. Lu, do you really think that Huawei Terminal can still be saved?"

"I think Huawei, like Shenzhou, has the ability to impact international mid-to-high-end brands." Lu Fei drew a big cake.

Ren Zhengfei and Yu Chengdong looked at each other, lost in thought.

Lu Fei called the stewardess and ordered a Coke.

If you really invest in Huawei terminals, including Logic, Xiaomi, and Shenzhou, and then count domestic companies such as oppo, Tianyu, and Gionee that have adopted Pengbai's "turnkey solution", they have directly or indirectly controlled half of the domestic mobile phone market, no less.

Not to mention the upstream and downstream of the supply chain...

Even if a mobile phone falls from the sky, Lu Fei has to pay for it!
While drinking Coke, he felt an inexplicable itchy neck.

After careful consideration, Ren Zhengfei still agreed to keep the Huawei terminal, but the Three-Body Fund's shareholding must be reported to the board of directors.

"Hey, it's Boss Lu after all, he's older than Heavenly King Lao Tzu."

Yu Chengdong was courageous, with a strange air of yin and yang.

Regarding his inconsistency, Ren Zhengfei said: "Can't I make mistakes? As long as we are human, we will make mistakes."

"I agree with Mr. Ren's words. It is impossible for a person not to make mistakes. The key is big or small mistakes, strategic or tactical, so in order to avoid this situation, Logic specially introduced the rotating chairman system." Lu Feihang With a smiling face.

When Ren Zhengfei heard about the "rotating chairman system", he was inexplicably interested, "Mr. Lu, keep talking."

Lu Fei said seriously: "As the saying goes, the train runs fast, it all depends on the front belt, if the front is out of gas, the train is not as good as a cow, but the problem is that although we are on the front line directing the company, we can reach a certain level and find ourselves If you can't control it and find that you can't continue to be wise, you are destined to authorize it at this time."

Ren Zhengfei saw the key at a glance.

After authorization, it is very likely that there will be excessive authorization, resources cannot be fully and effectively integrated, and the subordinates of the enterprise will make some mistakes, so they will take back the power and let an organization manage it, which is the so-called headquarters. As a result, the headquarters has too much power.

Many departments are bureaucratic and don't understand the front line, so they command completely blindly. Just like Chang Kaishen, the machine gun moved five meters to the left!

"At this stage, we must find a balance between centralization and authorization. I think the core is one."

Lu Fei said: "Let the people who can hear the gunfire make decisions!"

"Making decisions be made by people who can hear the gunfire?"

Ren Zhengfei's eyes lit up, thoughtful.

"For example, I handed over the chip department to Su Zifeng, I handed Yangtze River Storage to Gao Qiquan and Zhu Yiming, I handed China Micro to Yin Zhiyao, I handed Fuxin to Liang Mengsong, I handed over the overseas business to Guo Xing, and I handed over the mobile device business. Huang Zhang and the others..."

Lu Fei solemnly said: "As for Sun Hongjun and I, we will honestly do strategy and logistics for the various troops on the front line."

"You're right, Mr. Lu, you're right!"

Ren Zhengfei had an epiphany, "During wars in the past, the company commander at the front could not command the artillery, and had to report to the division headquarters for support, and the artillery would only explode after the division headquarters gave an order. Now it is different. The front end has a full range of functions. Special fighters call for a communication, and the aircraft As soon as the bombs are fired, the artillery fires, and those who have been away from the front line for a long time have lost their keen sense of the 'battlefield'."

"Yes, Huawei's terminal business should also be like this."

Lu Fei said with a smile: "If I become a shareholder of Huawei Terminal, I might recommend Lao Yu to be the commander-in-chief of the front line."

"I?"

Yu Chengdong was taken aback for a moment, why did it fall on me!

"Old Yu? The wireless business is using him." Ren Zhengfei raised his hand, "Besides, the mobile phone terminal is a big fire pit. He is comfortable in the wireless business. How could he be willing to jump into the fire pit?"

"Mr. Ren, I am your soldier. I will fight wherever you point."

Yu Chengdong did not refuse, "If I am in charge of Huawei terminals, I must be far ahead of my peers!"

"Don't play logic."

Lu Fei smacked his lips: "We allow competition, but we don't want to fight each other. It should be the same as German cars. Volkswagen, Daimler, and BMW have a monopoly. From production to technology, they all work together to control prices and become the world's largest. The German car cartel is like this, so should the Chinese mobile phones, the guns are consistent with the outside world, and the outside world is uncompromising.”

"That's the truth."

Ren Zhengfei cast approving glances.

Lu Fei squinted his eyes, such as the acquisition of Qimonda this time.

At this moment, after taking off for about half an hour, Secretary Huang walked towards them, bent down, and said softly to Lu Fei:

"Mr. Lu, the leader said that you can act cheaply. As long as you can attend the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland on time on the 31st, there will be no problem."

………………

At the same time, as Qimonda submitted a bankruptcy application to the court for its inability to pay off its debts, news has been flying everywhere.

But all colleagues in the storage industry were shocked.

America, Micron Headquarters.

"Haha, Mark, look what I said."

Appleton laughed with a cigar in his mouth: "Qimonda will be the first to die, right? Good death! We will take this opportunity to grab the vacated market share as much as possible."

"Why don't we consider participating in the bid to rescue Qimonda?"

Mark Daken was silent for a moment, and his words were astonishing.

"Are you crazy!"

Appleton took the cigar down abruptly, "What's the situation with Qimonda now? Huge debts, business losses, overcapacity, labor costs, it's a bottomless pit, even if you pay someone else to own Qimonda, This recipient will only consider it if he is crazy! Otherwise, we would not cancel the plan to buy Qimonda from Infineon, it is too worthless!"

"I know, of course I know that Micron's acquisition target is Hynix and Qimonda, but the problem is that in addition to Toshiba, Nanya, and Samsung, there is another company that participated in Qimonda's bidding." Mark Daken Said, "It's YMTC."

"Yangtze River Storage?! That fucking Huaxia land!"

Appleton stood up suddenly.

"uh-huh."

Mark Daken raised a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

"Hahaha, Huaxia Lu seems to be hungry, and he wants Qimonda? A storage company that can bring down Infineon? Give it to him! Just give it to him!" Appleton laughed heartily.

"Don't you see this as an opportunity?"

Mark Daken handed over Qimonda's bidding documents.

"What chance? You don't want Micron to participate in the bidding, do you? No, absolutely not. This pit must be stepped on by Yangtze River Storage, and let it sue Micron for infringement! Let it grab Huayake!"

Appleton didn't even look at it, "This is retribution!"

"We can make the retribution even worse, and use this opportunity to cause trouble for Yangtze River Storage, such as driving up the purchase price, such as poaching the backbone of the technology, or..."

Mark Daken cast a "you know" look.

"Oh yeah! Let's kick Lu Fei's ass hard!"

Appleton looked at him and smiled knowingly.

As long as it can weaken its competitors, it also strengthens its own strength in disguise. Yangtze River Storage will pay a higher price to acquire Qimonda, and it will no longer be able to compete for Elpida and Hynix.

Holding the same idea, no longer a minority.

One of them includes Li Jianxi, who is in prison, sitting in the meeting room without any embarrassment at all.

"Do you understand, Fuzhen?"

"Abba, I, I understand."

Li Fuzhen never expected that he would let himself deal with Lu Fei, he hesitated for a moment, "However, an important reason for Qimonda's bankruptcy this time is our price war, Qimonda may not agree to let Samsung join the official bidding list, in that case... ..."

"The bidding is not for bidding, but to see how many companies have the strength to bid. If you can bid for Qimonda, you can compete with Samsung for Hynix." Li Jianxi has a straight face. "We have only one goal, which is Hynix. As long as we win over SK, Hyundai, and Micron, Samsung will be the dominant player in the global storage industry. This time, you are really going to do it. Do you understand my intention?"

"Yes, Dad."

"This time you go out in person, don't let me down."

"But Dad, in your current situation, how can I go abroad at this time?" Li Fu really thumped in his heart.

"What are you worried about? It's not that I haven't sat down before. I'll be out soon." Li Jianxi looked at Chief Jin who was sitting next to Li Fuzhen, "You think so?"

"Yes, President, you will be pardoned soon."

Chief Jin bowed slightly, respectfully.

"Fu Zhen, you go back and make arrangements to go abroad first, I still have something to tell Mr. Jin."

Watching Li Fuzhen leave, Li Jianxi lowered his face, "After she goes to Germany, please inform Jay Rong to return home."
