Rewrite the Technological Landscape

"Rewrite the technological landscape (

"Mr. Meng, long time no see."

"Yes, I didn't expect Ms. Whitman to become the CEO of HP in a blink of an eye. I don't know when Ms. Whitman will come to our Dafeng Group?"

Whitman was stunned for a moment to figure out whether Meng Qian was serious or joking, "Maybe there will be this opportunity."

"How's the discussion about purchasing?" Meng Qian entered the topic with the current situation.

"Our team is evaluating and I believe there will be results soon."

"Does Ms. Whitman endorse our products?"

"Of course." Whitman gave the affirmation without much thought. "The products of Dafeng Group have become a pronoun."

"In that case, why did Ms. Whitman come so late?"

Whitman realized that Meng Qian's problem was not simple, and responded with a simple smile.

Meng Qian smiled back and continued to maintain a slower pace, "Is HP's transformation going well?"

"Everything is proceeding according to the established plan." Whitman maintained his self-protection with the most plain attitude.

"Ms. Whitman, since we have all come to the Dafeng Group, let's just talk about it." Meng Qian knew that there would be no progress in the conversation, and leaned forward and began to release the pressure. "You are here this time, hopefully. Can you understand our situation more comprehensively?"

Whitman still answered very smoothly, "It is hard not to make people curious about the development of Dafeng Group in recent years."

"In Ms. Whitman's view, whether some of our technologies have been at the forefront of the world."

After a second, Whitman realized what Meng Qian was saying, "Of course."

Whitman did not deny it, and Meng Qian continued to move forward, "Then in this rapidly changing era, in the face of our technological openness, is HP really not interested in it?"

Hewlett-Packard is of course interested. Why would Whitman come if he is not interested, "Curiosity and interest are actually the same thing."

Meng Qian turned the thermos bottle in his hand, "Ms. Whitman, IBM's slow response to cloud computing caused him to fail to keep up with the pace in the era of cloud intelligence, and he had to adopt the model of cooperation with Apple and Amazon to develop.

But the three companies have been working together for some time. Facts have proved that Apple and Amazon do not have the marketing genes of the enterprise.

Apple can do a good job in the supply chain of electronic products, Amazon can be a good cloud service provider, and even in the construction of its own cloud network, Amazon has shown extremely high talent.

The absolute professionalism of business solutions is not something that Amazon and Apple can overcome and grow up in a short time. "

Meng Qian paused and waited for Whitman's response, and Whitman nodded his head in recognition of Meng Qian's statement.

"Looking at Microsoft again, the situation is actually very similar to that of IBM. They are all turned around and some have failed to keep up with the new trend.

But whether it's Microsoft, IBM, Amazon or Apple, if you give them enough time, they will react. No matter if it is too late at that time, they will not always move forward in the wrong direction, um, This should be.

Just like Intel’s mobile planning this year is too late, although the approach is a bit too radical at present, at least this attitude has come out.

So at this stage, it is actually an opportunity for many companies, an opportunity that may not be seen in decades. "

Whitman understood Meng Qian's very clear hint, and subconsciously looked at Meng Qian's eyes.

Meng Qian also instinctively observed the changes in Whitman's eyes, trying to see some changes.

Two seconds after the two met their eyes, the two suddenly laughed unconsciously. Whitman closed his deep eyes, "When it comes to the size of the enterprise, the current size of Dafeng Group is also a huge ship, but the wind The group seems to never miss a direction. Does Mr. Meng have any secrets?"

"To put it bluntly, it is two words, decentralization, on the one hand, decentralization to the system, we ourselves are the enterprise management system, if we still can't believe in our own system, it would be a bit ridiculous.

On the other hand, it is to delegate power to employees. Enterprises must truly learn to listen to the voices of every employee. Enterprises need to deprive some of the management rights. Personal heroism is not applicable in enterprises of this era.

This is a rapidly changing era, and no individual can fully keep up with this era. "

Whitman's eyes changed quickly. She thought of a lot of HP. After a few seconds of silence, Whitman asked Meng Qian, "Mr. Meng has any thoughts on HP."

Meng Qian took a sip of tea and expressed his thoughts, "Cloud computing, services, software, and hardware, if only one of the four industries can be selected, what does HP's board of directors choose?"

Meng Qian’s question pierced Whitman’s heart. She is now planning the split of HP because she wants to clarify the business sector. It is because HP’s board of directors has serious disagreements with her. Of course, this is the case. Outsiders don't know the matter now, except for Meng Qian, a rebirth who has read relevant reports.

"Probably the hardware." Whitman told the truth.

Seeing Whitman's willingness to tell the truth, Meng Qian felt more stable in his heart, "Then if you were to choose? What would you choose?"

Whitman couldn't help but frowned slightly and replied, "Serve, if you can only choose one of four."

Meng Qian suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Ms. Whitman now knows why I want to invite you to Dafeng Group?"

Meng Qian mentioned this matter again, which made Whitman a little more guessing, and while Whitman must be thinking a lot at this moment, Meng Qian continued to ask.

"Dell downplayed the personal computer business and quickly focused on services, but after HP downplayed its personal business, from the perspective of HP's acquisitions and R&D investment in recent years, printers seem to have become HP's next key industry.

Of course, as long as HP takes one step forward, it should soon be able to capture more than half of the global printer market. From the perspective of the industry leader, there is no problem.

But the problem is that if you continue to develop like this in the printer field, people have to feel that this approach is familiar.

All these practices, thoughts, and operating models are much like when Hewlett-Packard acquired Compaq in 2001. "

Whitman gave a wry smile, which was actually a gesture of willingness to confide in.

"How much future profits will be made for personal computers and printers, even if they are ranked No. 1 in the industry.

The average profit of the cloud computing industry exceeds 25%, the average profit of the software industry exceeds 22%, and the average profit of the printer industry is less than 10%, and the average profit of the personal computer industry has dropped to a historical low of 6%.

If Ms. Whitman wants to ask me what I think of HP, I can only say that it's all in 2014, so why continue to maintain the market thinking of 2001?

What's more, hasn't the development of the past 13 years proved that the acquisition may not be a wise choice? "

Every sentence of Meng Qian hit Whitman’s heart, and the effect was quite obvious. Whitman became more sincere. “In fact, hardware is not only a problem of declining profits, but the market has also been saturated. It is also difficult to stir up waves.

This is indeed a question we have been considering recently. "

Whitman used us here, and it can be seen that he still does not want to confess the contradiction between her and the HP board of directors in front of Meng Qian.

So Meng Qian chose to throw an olive branch to Whitman in a lateral way, "Then the space for cooperation between us may not just be a purchase order for a graphics card."

"Mr. Meng's thoughts?"

"Ms. Whitman can stay for a few more days if it is convenient. I want to look at each other's industries with Ms. Whitman and see how much space we can have for cooperation."

Whitman readily and politely agreed, "This is my honour."

Whitman stayed in China for another three days. During these three days, Meng Qian took her to visit the company’s technical department from time to time, show her muscles, and show her the degree of openness of Dafeng Group~ www.ltnovel.com~ As long as you are willing to spend money, whether you are a competitor or not, the core technology can be authorized. In addition, Dafeng Group has many "cooperation packages" for in-depth partners. The authorized price is more reasonable and the follow-up service is more complete. , Can also join a number of international organizations led by Dafeng Group.

It can be said that all conditions are good. The only problem is that HP has to join the Global Cloud Intelligence Standards Association and HP has to sign a long-term agreement with Dafeng Group.

The cooperation with AMD that year suffered from the loss of the previous agreement, leading AMD to say that it would not cooperate if it did not cooperate, and the withdrawal was too easy.

However, the Dafeng Group at that time was indeed in a critical power transition period, and the current Dafeng Group will no longer sign such a random agreement. If you want to become a partner of Dafeng Group, or the simplest purchaser, then sign the contract normally. That's fine, but if you want to have deeper cooperation, at least the agreement will not allow the other party to stab the Dafeng Group very easily.

So if Whitman chooses to cooperate with Dafeng Group at this time, it will definitely help her own future plans for HP, but she will certainly offend companies such as Microsoft, Intel.

What to do? Whitman couldn't make a decision for a while, and returned to the U.S. with doubts.

"Do you think Whitman will cooperate with us in this sensitive period?" After Whitman left, Shao Yibo asked Meng Qian curiously.

"I don't know, but she looks like a woman with vision and courage."

"At this critical moment when American companies are working together to suppress us, it would be a very uncomfortable thing for them if they can make a few holes in them from several fields."

"Yeah, so I hope Whitman really has a fox side."
