I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 534 373-374: New loophole! (4000 words)
In fact, if we look back at history, it is not difficult to find that, whether in the Gulf region or the world, people’s impression of high technology has always been on the United States, because the United States itself represents the highest productivity and technological power in the world today. However, this concept was subverted until the emergence of high-tech companies represented by Hillhouse Capital.

Originally, this subversion was only regional and was only recognized in very few countries and groups of people.

Due to the lack of familiarity and a certain scrutiny and arrogance towards the East, Hillhouse's expansion has been slow and orderly over the past few years.

it's good now!

Come to Xida’s strict selection directly!
People all over the world are going crazy, wondering who this Hillhouse Group is that actually ordered Xida to commit suicide!

So, not surprisingly, the phrase "Gao Ling" soared in Google searches within a very short period of time.

Some people in the Four Eyes Alliance think that this company is doomed. Alstom, a company as powerful as the Black Chicken Country, is just waiting to be acquired.

However, many people, especially another group of people who were extremely angry about some of Xida’s actions, stood up at this time and cheered for Hillhouse!

The daily active users of Hillhouse’s own APP, Gwai, soared by more than 20%!
Now Gwai has entered South America and followed the path to Central and European regions.

It immediately became a hit product in these places.

For Hillhouse, this was an unexpected gain.

In addition, Hillhouse Vehicles and Hillhouse Technology are accelerating the overseas expansion of their mid- and low-end mobile phones.

This incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Hillhouse's overseas expansion.

Hillhouse and Zhongwei are fundamentally different.

Zhongwei has strong channels in the communications industry and can directly underwrite mobile phone sales with local operators.

Hillhouse Technologies will not take this path, nor can it do so.

The only way to penetrate the product is to expand the market through partners one by one.

The competition for overseas markets is essentially a contest of localization capabilities. If Hillhouse wants to compete with first-tier giants such as Sansang in overseas markets, the key is to improve the localized group service system, including but not limited to product performance, quality, experience, and services.

At present, it can be seen from Hillhouse's strategic adjustments that by abandoning the more homogeneous straight-screen flagship phones and devoting all its efforts to the competition in the two mid-to-low-end products of Honor Magic and Nova, and even launching targeted products for overseas markets, this strategy of creating more focused and differentiated products has achieved initial results. By firmly cultivating and consolidating the advantages in the regions where it has gained advantages, it is hoped that it will gradually erode Sansang's overseas market share and position.

Now overseas, coupled with the current self-commitment incident, overseas customers feel less unfamiliar and more familiar with Hillhouse.

It turns out that this company is so powerful that even the United States has to be on guard against it.

So will its products be bad?
impossible!

Therefore, Hillhouse is now firmly pushing forward mid- and low-end products, instead of building a full-ecosystem product line like China, and it emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of products, which has achieved miraculous results in product sales.

And the other side.

The situation of Hillhouse Capital, which is just trying to stabilize the situation, is not optimistic.

Hillhouse Vehicle's US-standard products are undergoing a second capacity conversion.

During this period of emergency replacement, there will be a risk of some production capacity decline, but it can basically be maintained.

Each workshop will not produce products at 100% capacity. Now each product is delayed by about ten days. For customers, the impact will not be particularly large. If we catch up and fully utilize the capacity later, we can catch up to the level of delivering the products within a month.

As for Hillhouse's derivatives, the demand for advanced processes above 10 nanometers is extremely low, and the company has always focused on niche products priced below 300 yuan. Occasionally, there will be a small number of large items, but those will not use advanced chips and US-standard components, so there is no impact.

The most important Hillhouse Technology and Hillhouse Chip are now the hardest hit.

Hillhouse Chip is simply unable to produce relevant high-process chips, which is very similar to HiSilicon in later generations. Now Hillhouse can only bite the bullet and maintain the original team group, and has not disbanded this elite team that has been working for several years.

However, the vulture outside had already circled several times.

Many semiconductor companies that were established because of this incident have been established on this trend, and after their establishment, the most core problem is the lack of people!
But in China, where are the most powerful, combat-ready and R&D-experienced personnel?
At Hillhouse!
Therefore, many semiconductor companies are now offering 1.5 times or even 2 times the salary to poach R&D personnel from Hillhouse Chip who hold the same position.

However, except for a few who were tempted and resigned, most people did not move.

joke!

With conditions, treatment, a pure working atmosphere, and fast-track career advancement at Hillhouse, once you leave, it's very likely that you won't be able to come back.

The competitive environment at Hillhouse is now extremely fierce, and no one is irreplaceable.

Year after year, college graduates pour into the company, making everyone work on high alert.

Afraid of being eliminated!

At Hillhouse, you get a high salary comparable to that of employees in the same position in the United States. You work for a large company, and you have the halo of being at the top of the Fortune 500. You are the envy of others.

As for small startup companies out there, you never know when this small company may go bankrupt.

Although the salary is twice as high temporarily, can it be compared?

There are difficulties now, but everyone knows that these difficulties are temporary.

The company is now starting to make stacked chips, and it is estimated that Hillhouse Chip Factory has already started cooperating.

At the same time, Hillhouse Chip Factory has started importing second-hand lithography machines, and it will be enough to stabilize the situation within one or two years.

As for one or two years later, when time is exchanged for space, both the Hillhouse chip factory and the lithography machine will have a turning point!

In fact, most of Hillhouse Chip’s employees think this way, but as ordinary employees, they cannot predict what will happen next.

But Hillhouse Technologies is not doing so well.

About 65% of Hillhouse's profits actually come from flagship mobile phones using high-end processes.

The mate series, P series, dual-folding phones and triple-folding phones, etc., all require the most advanced manufacturing process.

Except for tri-fold mobile phones, which will be given priority in chip supply due to their low sales volume and will have at least two years of chips reserved for use, other products are at risk of supply interruption.

Now, the most Hillhouse can do is to grit its teeth and persevere and be prepared.

However, Hillhouse now owns a chip factory of its own. Compared with Zhongwei, which had to hurriedly build a chip factory, Hillhouse has very deep accumulation in chip manufacturing. Therefore, in this sector, Gao Huaijun is actually very confident that the impact will be shorter than that of Zhongwei.

Zhongwei was able to quickly launch the Zhongwei Mate50 product three years after its self-determination, and Hillhouse cannot fail to do it either!
Gao Huaijun has been frowning these days as he ponders the problems he is facing, calculating them one by one.

He went into the impact that each company encountered, detail by detail, until he felt there was no problem.

These things, especially when encountering such emergencies, cannot be easily resolved by having your subordinates give you a report or having made some idle arrangements in advance.

He has to make the final decision on many things himself.

The behemoth Xi’an University has actually penetrated into every corner of the world, and even Hillhouse Capital cannot avoid it.

"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. I'll see if Hillhouse can hold up in this matter. I'm looking forward to it!" Gao Huaijun sat quietly in his office, and then suddenly clenched his fists.

He traveled through time to this era, and by chance, he founded this company with his own strength.

It can be said that the time, place and people are all right, and everything comes together!
With his golden finger protecting me for the past ten years, my life has been so smooth.

Now it's time to test the company's ability to withstand pressure.

At the same time, some people with weak mentalities who felt they could not get along with those deep in Gaoling took this opportunity to throw them out.

This can be regarded as the completion of the internal integration and reshuffle of Hillhouse Capital.

At this moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. He picked up the red telephone beside him and said, "Xiaochen, please notify Mr. Min Weiguo and ask him to come here. I want to have a meeting with him."

"Okay, Mr. Gao." Feng Xiaochen replied quickly.

She was under a lot of work pressure during this period.

Although Gao Huaijun seemed very relaxed on the surface and still maintained the same schedule as before, she could clearly feel the fire in him!
He wanted to build a great company!

Now, with the self-committion incident at Xida University, this fire has been completely ignited.

She didn't know how scary a Gao Huaijun like this, a Gao Huaijun who used to do whatever the company could, but now had to be serious about playing, would be.

But this kind of man may be the best male partner template in the mind of every woman who admires a strong man!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

However, her wandering thoughts did not slow down her work.

Soon, Min Weiguo, with bloodshot face, came to Gao Huaijun's office.

He has not slept more than three hours a day for three consecutive days.

There is no way. At this critical moment of life and death, the most critical company is Hillhouse Technologies.

Now the share price of Hillhouse Technology has been falling by 30% gradually, which is still considered good. If the Mate series and P series are really discontinued, he will really not be able to sleep well.

If a company has a big hole like this, there's really no way to save you.

“You have been working on Hillhouse’s self-developed operating system for some time, but it is basically an operating system that uses Google’s Android as the underlying logic and algorithm.”

“This is a very big problem!”

"If there is a third wave of self-punishment from Xida against us, starting directly with the operating system and not allowing us to borrow Android, what will you do?"

Gao Huaijun didn't say any polite words and went straight to the point.

When Min Weiguo heard what Gao Huaijun said, he felt cold from head to toe!
this. . .

He was so busy today that he really didn't expect it!

The smartphone version of the operating system can run Android apps without loss and can be upgraded smoothly without loss. There is only one possibility: the underlying layer is the same as Android.

If they are different, a translation layer is required, which will result in performance loss and bugs caused by incomplete translation.

Even applications such as the Tai Chi framework that involve underlying modifications and modules require lossless compatibility.

Hillhouse’s current mobile phone products are not able to achieve a global monopoly, so it can only join the Android camp, unlike Pingguo to create a closed-loop system.

Otherwise, a large number of independent apps on the market will not be compatible.

Technology is not the key, ecology is the core issue!
However, Hillhouse Technology must now prepare for the worst case scenario. In fact, the Google three-piece suit in the future was a direct kill order against Zhongwei, and then after 2020 in the previous life line, Zhongwei withdrew from the European market in an embarrassing manner.

And now, Hillhouse must not repeat this mistake!

"We need to make an operating system that truly belongs to us. This operating system includes the Tai Chi framework, an operating system with a completely new structure that involves modifications to both the underlying and module frameworks. Do you understand what I mean?" As he spoke, Gao Huaijun squinted at Min Weiguo.

Min Weiguo opened his mouth with difficulty, then nodded with difficulty.

He understood what Gao Huaijun meant.

There was no need for this before. In order to stand on the Android camp, there was no need to create an operating system from the bottom-level logic.

But that’s no longer possible, we need to create such an operating system.

However, Hillhouse has reserved a group of talents in the field of operating systems, so it is not afraid of the situation where it cannot do the job due to lack of manpower.

As I said, technology is not the problem, ecology is!
Anyone who has worked in the Internet industry knows that even for a 1% market share, there will be a life-and-death fight for an APP, especially in the current extremely inward-looking environment in China, where people have to work overtime day and night for several months just to increase their market share by 0.1%. Sometimes, they even lose money in the early stages in order to increase their market share.

So now, what Hillhouse needs to do is to double-shell this new system and the old system.

Keep the customers first!
Then, you can kidnap these users and negotiate with the APPs!

Those who arrive first eat the meat, those who arrive later drink the soup, and those who arrive last take the plate. This is basic business common sense.

With these primary users who are willing to upgrade to the latest version of the operating system, and who are high-value primary users, you don't need to force everyone to develop apps with a gun. Instead, the hyenas will come on their own when they smell the money.

At this moment.

As long as your purpose of making an APP is to make money, no matter how big or small, no company will give up the opportunity to reshuffle the cards with Hillhouse's new operating system.
