The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 149 Big cooperation!

Zhang Zhipeng knew that Ren Zhengfei would ask such a question.

He smiled and said: "Because I don't have enough energy to focus on this matter."

"For me, making money is never the first priority. Engaging in scientific research to help the motherland become stronger is my life goal!"

"I hope that the products we have developed can be quickly put on the market with the help of our partners and expand the global market!"

"Can you understand my painstaking efforts?"

After Ren Zhengfei listened to Zhang Zhipeng's story, he shook his head and nodded again.

Zhang Zhipeng’s words are actually quite touching.

But it’s not convincing enough!

However, if the other party is really Zhang Zhipeng, and what he said is true...

Then for Warwick Company, this is a big opportunity!

Ren Zhengfei thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, can I go to Chang'an to see you?"

"I think that for this very important cooperation, it would be more appropriate to meet in person."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled.

He originally wanted to go to Shenzhen Town to meet Ren Zhengfei in person.

Unexpectedly, Ren Zhengfei took the initiative to ask to come to Chang'an to see him.

However, if you think about it, it's normal.

Ren Zhengfei is such a shrewd person, so of course he wanted to confirm that this matter was reliable.

Moreover, in this life, Zhang Zhipeng's own status in the world is now much higher than that of Ren Zhengfei.

It is also appropriate for Ren Zhengfei to take the initiative to visit.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Of course!"

"When will you come? I'll have someone pick you up at the airport."

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said: "You don't need to pick me up at the airport, we have a branch in Chang'an."

"Someone from our branch can pick me up at the airport."

"I'll visit you at your office in the Department of Aircraft Engineering of NPU at 10 a.m. tomorrow, okay?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and thought, this is really cautious!

"OK!"

"You can even meet me in my office at Huaxing Company, no problem!"

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said, "Oh! Then, how about I visit you at your office in Huaxing Company."

"I mainly want to visit Huaxing Company."

"This company is really amazing. Within a year of its product being launched, it has almost monopolized the domestic computer market."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment! However, we really don't want to monopolize the computer market. We are helpless because our competitors are not strong enough, haha!"

"Come on! I'll be waiting for you in the office at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

After making this call, Ren Zhengfei immediately asked Liu Shuyun to book a ticket for him to Chang'an.

Of course, when he went on a business trip to Chang'an, he would definitely bring his entourage and bodyguards with him.

Considering the possibility of cooperation, Ren Zhengfei also consulted with several mobile communication experts, all in order to be foolproof.

Yes, Ren Zhengfei attaches great importance to this trip to Chang'an.

He was basically certain of one thing, and that was: he and Warwick Company were really going to get lucky this time.

After calling Ren Zhengfei, Zhang Zhipeng went to look at Huaxing Company's financial statements.

Seeing this, he felt a little uneasy.

Because Huaxing Computer's sales have hit new highs in the past month or two.

Only half of October has passed, and more than 20 computers have been sold in China.

To say that this sales growth is really gratifying.

But Zhang Zhipeng knows that it may be dangerous to monopolize the computer IT industry.

Because the country will definitely not like the emergence of a company that monopolizes a certain industry!

In previous lives, when state-owned enterprises had monopolies, they would be directly divided into two or three, and then compete with each other...

Maybe some people will say that it seems that a certain degree has a monopoly on search and a certain goose has a monopoly on social networking, so it doesn’t matter...

In fact, they monopolize these two major Internet businesses and have little impact on the country.

So the state did not touch them.

Many of Robin's Internet companies seem to have monopolies. Their Internet social networking is basically monopolized by Facebook.

Their internet searches are monopolized by Google.

Their e-commerce is also monopolized by Amazon.

And Microsoft has a monopoly on operating systems...

However, in addition to Microsoft's system, there is also Apple's fully closed own system.

Zhang Zhipeng was a little uneasy now, but he soon stopped thinking about it.

He felt that it was better to take it one step at a time.

It is actually quite easy to cultivate a few weaker opponents. You only need to let go of low-end chips, memory and other technologies to cultivate your opponents.

The next day, Zhang Zhipeng went directly to Huaxing Company to welcome Ren Zhengfei's arrival.

He had someone notify the guard about Ren Zhengfei's arrival.

As long as it's Ren Zhengfei, just let him go directly and then tell the office about it through internal lines.

Ren Zhengfei went to the airport at around 3 o'clock in the morning.

His plane takes off at 4:50.

This time, it went smoothly and the flight was not delayed.

His plane arrived at Chang'an Airport at 7:50 in the morning.

People from Warwick Company's Chang'an branch picked up Ren Zhengfei at the airport a little after 8 a.m.

At around 9 o'clock, he arrived at the gate of Huaxing Company.

He also saw the formation at the gate of Huaxing Company: trucks carrying materials were coming and going on the whole street. It was really a busy scene here!

Ren Zhengfei's car arrived at the gate and was stopped by the security guard at the gate to register.

Ren Zhengfei personally wrote his information in the registration book.

The security guard took one look and his eyes lit up: "Are you Mr. Ren Zhengfei from Warwick?"

Ren Zhengfei nodded with a smile: "It's me."

The security guard said, "Please come in. The building in front of the gate is the office building."

"Mr. Zhang should have sent someone down below to greet you."

When Ren Zhengfei heard this, he finally took some reassurance.

Ren Zhengfei thought to himself: It seems that I am really favored by this young giant.

This opportunity is definitely a great opportunity for Warwick Company!

Ren Zhengfei got into the car again and entered the gate of Huaxing Industrial Park.

At this time, the security guard had already informed the people in the office through the internal phone.

Zhang Zhipeng soon knew that Ren Zhengfei was coming.

I came really on time.

You know, it takes about three hours to fly from Shenzhen to Chang'an.

If Ren Zhengfei wanted to get to Zhang Zhipeng's office in Huaxing Company before 10 a.m., he had to come over the night before. Or you have to take the earliest flight.

All in all quite tiring.

Zhang Zhipeng thought for a while, and finally decided to come down in person to greet Ren Zhengfei.

In his previous life, Warwick was the technology company he respected the most.

And Ren Zhengfei is the entrepreneur he admires most!

In this life, he never thought that he would be able to have close contact with Ren Zhengfei, and it seemed that he could cooperate in depth.

This is really not easy! Zhang Zhipeng was feeling a little emotional at this moment.

He came down from upstairs, followed by several followers, one of whom was Yu Chengdong.

As soon as Zhang Zhipeng and his men walked out of the building, Ren Zhengfei's car arrived.

Ren Zhengfei naturally knew Zhang Zhipeng.

Through the car window, he saw Zhang Zhipeng leading someone to greet him downstairs. At that moment, Ren Zhengfei even felt a little flattered.

The car stopped and Ren Zhengfei hurriedly got out of the car.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and took two steps.

Ren Zhengfei strode up to Zhang Zhipeng.

"Mr. Ren, welcome, welcome!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded hello, and extended his hand to Ren Zhengfei.

Ren Zhengfei hurriedly shook hands with Zhang Zhipeng, nodded with a smile and said: "Comrade Zhipeng, I'm glad to see you! I have admired you for a long time! Today I finally meet you in person! Haha!"

Just from this sentence, you can feel that Ren Zhengfei has a high emotional intelligence.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Mr. Ren is so ridiculous, haha! I also read your interview in the media. You are really a good man who dares to fight and fight hard! Let's sit down in my office and talk about it?"

Ren Zhengfei nodded quickly and said, "Thank you! I didn't expect you to give me such a high evaluation. I'm really excited! Okay, okay! Mr. Zhang, please!" The two of them came to Zhang Zhipeng's office.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Ren Zhengfei took the lead and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhipeng, are you serious about the cooperation you mentioned on the phone?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded: "Of course! I seriously want to cooperate with you in depth!"

"How about I take you to experience our products first?"

Ren Zhengfei said: "Okay! Mr. Zhang's scientific research results will definitely be great! I can't wait."

Zhang Zhipeng took Ren Zhengfei back to the campus of NPU.

Along the way, he introduced Ren Zhengfei to the development of his GSM-based 2G network.

Ren Zhengfei listened with great interest, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.

Ren Zhengfei started his career by making switches.

Of course he knows how big the market is for communication equipment.

If we can get a big piece of the cake in the future domestic 2G network construction process, it will be a share of tens of billions!

When he arrived at NPU, Zhang Zhipeng first took Ren Zhengfei to visit his own company, base station facilities, etc.

Later, he asked Ren Zhengfei to experience the communication quality of GSM mobile phones: making calls and sending text messages were very clear and convenient.

After the experience, Zhang Zhipeng asked Ren Zhengfei with a smile: "Mr. Ren, how do you feel?"

Ren Zhengfei's eyes were shining right now.

His inner excitement could no longer be hidden.

"A very good experience! If you ask me, this is a mobile phone! The original analog signal is really terrible."

"If the nationwide communication network is built in the future, mobile phones will definitely become more popular!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "According to my preliminary estimate, if we in China build a nationwide mobile GSM network, it will probably cost at least hundreds of billions!"

"Looking at the whole world, I think the overall market will definitely reach trillions, or even trillions!"

"And if mobile phones become popular across the country, there will be a market worth hundreds of billions every year!"

Ren Zhengfei naturally knew about this, and he had estimated it himself.

He smiled and said: "So, why do you want to cooperate with our Warwick for this good thing?"

"I still don't fully understand it."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "It's very simple. I don't want to spend too much time on it."

"I cooperate with you because I recognize and believe that you are a practical person."

"So, I hope we can cooperate."

"Maybe this can speed up the marketization process of my research inventions and promote the rapid development of our mobile network."

Ren Zhengfei asked: "So, how do you want to cooperate?"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "If I leave these two inventions to your company to produce and sell them to the market, how many shares do you think they can be equivalent to in your company's shares?"

Ren Zhengfei blinked and said, "Do you want to use your intellectual property rights to invest in Warwick?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Yes, I have this idea."

"Moreover, I also hope to introduce investment from the National Investment Corporation into the cooperation and turn Warwick Company into a joint-stock mixed company."

"Of course, you will still be fully responsible and run this company. We only retain the power of supervision and audit."

Ren Zhengfei didn't think for long.

Because, he actually already understood: the switch product may not last long.

It is very likely that the future will really be the era of mobile phones.

Therefore, I must transform as soon as possible.

He didn't think too much about why Zhang Zhipeng took the initiative to bring in state-owned assets. In fact, there is nothing wrong with adding a little state capital.

Ren Zhengfei nodded and said, "How about the three of us sit down and have a good talk?"

"I, Ren Zhengfei, am definitely not a greedy person."

"I actually really hope to do something for the country."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Then I'll call Wang Chuanxi, general manager of the State Investment Corporation."

Zhang Zhipeng called Wang Chuanxi on his mobile phone.

Wang Chuanxi has been paired with a Big Brother.

In fact, Ren Zhengfei also has a big brother.

Today, only Zhang Zhipeng still insists on not using that thing.

The call got through. This was Zhang Zhipeng's first call to Wang Chuanxi.

But Wang Chuanxi seemed to have been waiting for Zhang Zhipeng's call.

When he heard that the caller was Zhang Zhipeng, he became very enthusiastic and said quickly: "Comrade Zhipeng! Director Zhao told me that you might ask for cooperation, so let me pay attention. I have been waiting for your call." .”

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Haha, thank you Mr. Wang for being so caring. Can you come to Chang'an? This time, we are really talking about a big cooperation!"

"If the negotiation is successful, it will definitely have a far-reaching impact!"

Wang Chuanxi smiled and said: "Okay! Then I will ask someone to book the tickets right away, and I will appear in front of you this afternoon! Haha!"

Wang Chuanxi kept his word, and he appeared in front of Zhang Zhipeng and Ren Zhengfei at around 3:40 p.m.

Wang Chuanxi is a middle-aged man of medium height and thick hair. When he saw Zhang Zhipeng, he enthusiastically asked for a hug.

Zhang Zhipeng introduced Ren Zhengfei to him.

Wang Chuanxi also knew about Ren Zhengfei.

The main reason is that there are really not too many private companies in China that can achieve the scale of Warwick Company.

Ren Zhengfei is also a worthy figure.

The three of them sat down and talked.

Ren Zhengfei first laid down the basics. Currently, Warwick's annual output value is 8 million, but its revenue is growing very fast. The business has now reached the whole country, and its market share is very high.

The net book assets of Warwick Company are now 2.3 billion, making it an out-and-out large company.

Subsequently, Ren Zhengfei evaluated Zhang Zhipeng's invention and estimated it to be worth at least 10 billion. Of course, the subsequent market cannot yet be determined.

Ren Zhengfei was the first to propose: "How about this, if the State Investment Corporation invests 10 billion and holds 3% of the shares, Comrade Zhipeng holds 3% of the shares by licensing the invention patent, and we, Warwick Company, invest all our assets and hold 4% of the shares? How about this?" "

"Of course, I require that the new company should still be named after Warwick and be managed by me and the original management team. You two shareholders can send directors to participate in management, and you can also audit the company regularly. There is no problem!"

In fact, Ren Zhengfei was the most opposed to bringing major shareholders into Warwick Company in the past.

Because he doesn't want to be coerced by shareholders to do things he doesn't like, such as listing the company.

The main reason why Ren Zhengfei changed his attitude now was that he felt a sense of crisis.

He hopes to eagerly enter the field of mobile communications.

2G network equipment is a very hot product nowadays. The whole world is now rapidly building 2G networks, and the global market in the next few years is estimated to be in the trillions.

This is an opportunity for Warwick Company to rise from the ashes!

Ren Zhengfei didn't want to miss it.

Also, the GSM mobile phone developed by Zhang Zhipeng is also very good and has great market prospects!

If Warwick seizes this opportunity, it will open the door to two industries with huge market cakes at the same time!

Wang Chuanxi was still a little hesitant after hearing this.

An investment of 10 billion...

This number is a bit big!

He must be more cautious.

"Comrade Zhipeng, do you think Mr. Ren's proposal is reasonable?"

"As the general manager of a national investment company, I have to be very careful with every investment I make."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, if you invest one billion now, your company may be able to pay dividends of at least 10 billion in one year!"

"I can give you a guarantee! There is absolutely no problem!"

"I believe you have heard that the country will definitely start building GSM 95G networks in many big cities in 2! As long as we get 100% of the domestic orders, then next year's revenue will not exceed billion. question!"

"In addition, as long as the GSM network is built in a city, our GSM mobile phones will definitely start selling well!"

"By that time, Warwick will have grown into a large company with revenue that may exceed 100 billion within five years!"

"Think about it, isn't such an investment of 10 billion worth a lot?"

Wang Chuanxi trusted Zhang Zhipeng from the bottom of his heart.

Because Zhao Bingkun has said that he absolutely believes in Zhang Zhipeng's vision! Zhang Zhipeng will never lie to him!

Wang Chuanxi nodded and said, "Okay! Since Comrade Zhipeng has said so, why should I not believe it?"

He turned to look at Ren Zhengfei and said, "Mr. Ren, I agree to do what you say!"

Ren Zhengfei smiled and nodded his thanks, then he looked at Zhang Zhipeng a little uneasily: "Mr. Zhang, what about you? Do you agree with my proposal?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "As long as Mr. Wang agrees, then I will definitely agree, haha!"

"Mr. Ren, I have only one request for you: seize the time to build the factory and put it into production, and then sell our equipment domestically and even around the world as soon as possible! Try to make it bigger and stronger as soon as possible!"

"Of course, the most important thing is, I think you need to seize the domestic market as soon as possible! Can you do it?"

Ren Zhengfei said: "As long as Mr. Zhang hands over all the technical information and process drawings to us, I think we can achieve the goal of mass production within half a year!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "There is absolutely no problem with this! Then, let us sign the cooperation agreement immediately, okay?"

The other two people agreed.
