Although Chen Hansheng is willing to join the "Open Mobile Alliance" and agrees to go to Silicon Valley to attend this conference, he has a characteristic that he does not understand technology at all.
However, Li Xiaokai is the general person in charge of the production and research and development of "Guo 3" and cannot leave unless absolutely necessary. Fortunately, there is a technical boss in the fruit shell. He is the chief scientist and chief scientist of Guomi Research Institute. Dean Feng Nanqi.
Dean Feng is actually a member of the board of directors. He is in his early forties. He looks ordinary and speaks slowly and softly. Moreover, he does not like to get involved in any administrative matters. To put it simply, That said, he doesn’t like to hold power.
However, Lao Feng’s resume is very impressive. Like Li Xiaokai, he also graduated with a PhD from Stanford. He once served as a chief engineer at Qualcomm and TSMC in the United States, and he was among the first in the country to study "big data algorithms". people.
Being able to hire Feng Nanqi, in addition to favorable conditions, Chen Hansheng also invited many middlemen to persuade him.
So to participate in this kind of world conference, there should be no problem with Feng Nanqi in charge of Guoke. Instead, Chen Hansheng just went for a walk and took a photo to prove that he was "here." , and then went to visit the little fool as planned.
Silicon Valley is also in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the distance between the two places is relatively close.
On July 2, when the popularity of "Guokshell III" and "Blue and White Porcelain" were still rising in China, Chen Hansheng and Feng Nan had already boarded a private plane and headed to the United States for a meeting.
In addition to a few technical engineers, Chen Lan and Nie Xiaoyu were also among the entourage.
Chen Lan was on summer vacation, and direct PhD students like her didn’t have much pressure to take the postgraduate entrance exams and PhD exams, so she just followed along shamelessly.
Nie Xiaoyu is still his personal secretary, and Chen Hansheng now has three secretaries. The "big secretary" is always Nie Xiaoyu, and the "second secretary" is Qin Ying.
However, in order to gain some qualifications and lay the foundation for future promotion, Qin Ying was temporarily transferred to the "Guo 3" project team, and Chen Hansheng did not disturb her.
The "Third Secret" is Zhu Saiwen who is in the United States, but after the Shura Field is resolved, Seven will definitely be promoted.
There is no way, the secretarial party is always in the position of "first come first served".
Because of the presence of Chen Lan and Nie Xiaoyu on the plane, the more than ten-hour journey was still very enjoyable. They brought a lot of snacks and comic books and chatted about the two-dimensional plot.
Chen Hansheng sometimes participates in it, but he is more annoying because he always uses various jokes to make fun of it.
For example, when Chen Lan and Nie Xiaoyu were talking about "One Piece", both girls were praising Luffy's courage, and Chen Hansheng interrupted with a smile: "Wang Luffy looks very reckless, but in fact he is full of bad ideas. , he calls himself 'Pirate King Luffy' when he meets the five scumbags, and becomes 'Monkey D. Luffy' when he meets the general. He is afraid that others will not know his family background and punch himself to death. "
When talking about "Naruto", Chen Hansheng commented on Haruno Sakura-Naruto in trouble, Saski in nothing, really a typical green tea bitch.
In the end, the younger sister and the little secretary ignored him, and the two went to the lounge to discuss behind closed doors. However, seeing how approachable the big boss was, some of the engineers who were traveling with him for the first time relaxed a lot.
As for Dean Feng, he was just drinking hot tea made by the stewardess while reading relevant news about the "Android smart operating system". The magnanimity of the intellectual boss was clearly visible.
After arriving in Silicon Valley, Chen Hansheng also met representatives from China Mobile, China Unicom, Telecom and Huawei at the hotel arranged by Google.
Among these five companies, the three state-owned companies have more internal conflicts. On the contrary, Guoke and Huawei do not have much competition for interests, so both parties are exchanging polite greetings.
This one said, "Director Chen is young and promising. If I knew that Director Chen would attend in person, Mr. Ren would definitely come over." The other one said, "Mr. Ren has many things to do, so I will go to Shenzhen to visit him if I have the chance."
Chen Hansheng personally still respects Huawei very much. Of course, respect is respect. If Huawei also develops mobile phones in the future, Guohu will not be soft at all in suppressing it. This is probably the true essence of modern business: < /p>
Friendship is friendship, competition is competition, and we should look for opportunities for cooperation in competition.
... Instruments, SoftBank, Sony... and even "old acquaintance" Samsung Electronics.
Samsung Electronics’ Executive Vice President Kim Jae-hwan was a representative present. In the job classification of Samsung Electronics, the Executive Vice President is equivalent to the vice president. Kim Jae-hwan is also a China expert. Chen Hansheng went to South Korea last year. When discussing business, he was the one who came forward to receive them.
The two parties were talking pretty well at the time. If Zheng Baoxu hadn’t intervened, Guoke might have reconciled with Samsung.
But thanks to this old stickman, Chen Hansheng gained a lot of honor points. Of course, in the end, it was Kim Jae-hwan who forced Zheng Baoxu to commit suicide.
Jin Zaihuan also noticed Chen Hansheng, or in other words, he had been looking for Chen Hansheng, and then waved and greeted him warmly, as if he had forgotten the conflicts between the two families.
"Fuck you..."
Chen Hansheng spat, but he was not scolding Kim Jae-hwan.
In the domestic competition between Guoke and Samsung Electronics, Guoke has always had the advantage. However, because Samsung Group has a stronger international comprehensive strength, other participating representatives are willing to communicate with Kim Jae-hwan.
On the contrary, Guoke Electronics, which is accustomed to occupying the C position in China, is suddenly marginalized.
When Feng Nanqi heard Chen Hansheng’s sweet words, he adjusted his glasses and said consolingly: “Now our electronics manufacturing industry is leading the international supply chain.You are still at the end of the chain, and you will inevitably be looked down upon by others. However, I believe this situation will gradually change. Maybe in 20 years, you will be able to sit at the front and enjoy the compliments of others. "
"Old Feng, you are very ambitious! "
Chen Hansheng was also moody. He had a sinister look on his face just now. Now he patted Feng Nanqi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If that day comes, the first contribution will definitely be to you scientific researchers. I This kind of boss who doesn't understand technology can only work hard to create more opportunities and platforms, and everyone works together to blow up the anus of those ghosts! "
Feng Nanqi shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he, a quiet technical worker, seemed to be incompatible with Chen Hansheng's magnetic field. In fact, it was just the opposite. Old Feng liked the "Chen Hansheng style" the most.
The first is generosity. In Guoke Electronics, Chen Hansheng rarely rejects funding applications for technical and scientific research;
The second is generosity, as long as it is within the regulations. Get the results out within the time limit, no matter what the R&D department did in the process, even if they traveled to Mars collectively, it would be as if Chen Hansheng hadn’t seen it.
The third thing is the atmosphere, Feng Nanqi said. Chen Hansheng only understands the middle management appointments submitted by others, but does not interfere.
Finally, he never tries to make a big deal. Chen Hansheng likes to brag, but he never talks to his subordinates. He likes to use "bonuses." "Communicate with subordinates, and subordinates also like this method.
Only companies that are declining have to talk about their feelings all day long. A big and prosperous company like Guoke Electronics does not need to play this trick at all. .
·······
After the meeting began, Google’s chief technology officer gave a speech. Although Chen Hansheng had not passed CET-4, there were colleagues in the venue. Audio interpretation can completely solve this problem.
Listen to what Google is saying, there are two purposes for developing the Android system. First, the current Symbian is too backward and a new smart operation needs to be developed. system, and this system is completely open source, any mobile terminal manufacturer can join the Android Alliance.
Chen Hansheng looked at the row of Huawei representatives in front of him, and their future "Hongmeng System" will be born out of it. For Android, but because of its open source nature, it will not constitute infringement at all. On the contrary, it will promote the maturity of Android platform applications.
The second reason for developing Android is that Apple’s first generation mobile phone has been released. Without sufficient preparation, when faced with the more advanced iOS system, everyone's current cake will be squeezed out.
It seems that Chen Hansheng is not the only one to realize the threat of iPhone. < /p>
This meeting lasts for a week, but Chen Hansheng plans to stay here for one night, and the rest of the docking work will be left to Dean Feng.
No matter what other companies in the alliance think, Chen Hansheng has his own plan.
First use the Android system to surpass Nokia.Asia and Motorola's domestic market share will wait until Apple fully enters the domestic market in 2011, and then join hands with Xiaomi to set up obstacles.
If you want to easily make money in a market with a population of 1.4 billion, you have to ask the local bullies if they agree.
·······
After the day's meeting, Chen Hansheng was playing in Nie Xiaoyu and Chen Lan's room. In fact, he mainly complained about those multinational companies. , but few found Guoke Electronics to talk to.
Another reason is to "catch the net", because Chen Lan is video chatting with Xiao Rongyu, so he can take another look at Chen Zipei.
Chen Zipei is now nine months old, but she is still naive. She sits in Xiao Rongyu's arms and stares at the camera intently.
Probably the little fool is already curious about the other self that appears on the computer screen. He tilts his round little head, and the camera is reflected in his beautiful dark peach blossom eyes. of light.
Occasionally, when no one was paying attention, she would spit out bubbles, but before the corner of her mouth got wet, Xiao Rongyu stretched out her slender fingers and wiped it away gently.
"Ah..."
Chen Lan was a little crazy and shouted to her little niece: "Chen Zipei, why are you so cute? Believe it or not, I'll see you tomorrow." When it comes to you, I'll bite off your little chubby face in one bite!"
Since changing her children, Chen Lan has only been able to see Chen Zipei through video clips, and she really misses him.
Nie Xiaoyu was also teasing her through the computer, but the little idiot didn't react much and stared blankly at the two aunts with their teeth and claws.
"This silly baby."
In the end, Chen Lan shook her head in frustration. The two little sisters were so much like their respective mothers.
Chen Zijin has a lively and sweet personality at first glance. Even if she is made to cry, if the adults coax her a little, she will burst into laughter;
Chen Zipei is very Jing Jing, grandma Liang Meijuan used to worry about whether her soft and sweet little granddaughter would be bullied when she grew up.
This is purely unfounded worry. With a ruffian father like Chen Hansheng, who can bully his daughter.
"Who are you? We are not stupid."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Rongyu refused. She seemed to be trying her best to prove that her daughter was very smart. She lowered her head and said to Chen Zipei: "Baby, What we learned today, let’s show it to my aunt.”
“Oh~”
Chen Zipei raised his head and looked at “Mom”. She seemed to understand but she didn’t. .
"That's what we all do when grandma goes out to buy groceries."
Xiao Rongyu reminded: "Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye..."
The little idiot was stunned for a long time, then suddenly raised his short arm and waved it up and down at the camera. This probably meant "bye".
This clumsy action made everyone "haha"Laughing, Chen Hansheng also wanted to kiss Chen Zipei right away, but at this warm moment, Samsung Electronics Vice President Jin Zaihuan, who he met during the day, actually asked representatives from China Mobile and China Unicom to convey his request to meet Chen Hansheng.
"Meet?"
Chen Hansheng held up his mobile phone and thought quickly in his head. At the same time, he replied in an unceremonious manner: "Kim Jae-hwan is not a romantic person. I'm big." Why are you meeting him at night?"
In fact, both China Mobile and China Unicom knew about the past between Guoke and Samsung, but they had no choice but to persuade him patiently on the phone: "Director Chen, Just come out and have a cup of tea, Samsung and we have some projects that are still in progress..."
When Samsung's mobile phones did not explode in China, it had relatively deep relationships with the three major operators. Contacts, and even some projects have continued to this day. It is actually understandable that leaders of state-owned enterprises cannot hide their face and act as middlemen.
However, Chen Hansheng didn't figure out Samsung's true intention. He temporarily used a drag trick, wiped off his shorts, patted his thighs a few times, and said with a smile: "Boss, I'm actually taking a shower. Well, if you have any urgent matters, let’s talk about it after washing up. You can’t let me talk to you on the phone with my buttocks naked all the time.”
“Okay, okay~”
The other party can only hang up. Regarding mobile phones, Chen Hansheng's no-nonsense style is really difficult for ordinary people to deal with.
"Brother, you are deceiving people again."
Chen Lan curled her lips, and then said to the little niece in the video: "When the baby grows up, he must not imitate his father. Yeah."
"You can't meet such a boy."
Xiao Rongyu, who had always turned a blind eye to Chen Hansheng, suddenly interjected.
At this moment, Chen Hansheng, who was so thick-skinned, felt very embarrassed. He secretly glanced at the computer video.
Xiao Yuer must have just taken a shower. Her slightly damp long hair is scattered on her shoulders. She is wearing a light pink nightgown. The cotton fabric adheres to her body, outlining her charming breasts and The waistline, the outline of the oval face is very delicate, and the curled eyelashes flicker as the eyes turn.
Sure enough, a girl's heart is a lifelong thing, even if she has become a mother.
However, because of Xiao Yu'er's words, Chen Hansheng was embarrassed to stay in the room anymore. It happened that he also wanted to discuss with Feng Nanqi what Jin Zaihuan was planning.
After Lao Feng heard about it, his first reaction was that Samsung mobile phones planned to re-enter the domestic market.
"This is unlikely."
Chen Hansheng replied thoughtfully: "Samsung mobile phones have become completely cold in China. Even if we give up a little market, consumers will not admit it. , I guess I want to talk about cooperation again..."
Chen Hansheng talked eloquently, and Feng Nanqi also fell into deep thought.
Since Guoke and Samsung had a falling out, Guoke directly terminated the purchase plan for Samsung products without waiting for Samsung to take the initiative.row.
The mobile phone "Fruit 3" can be said to have nothing to do with Samsung from beginning to end.
The influence of Guoke Electronics in China cannot be underestimated. Guoke stopped purchasing Samsung’s supply chain, and Xiaomi also unilaterally terminated it, expressing the stance of like-minded friends.
The two largest mobile phone manufacturers in China have said "NO" to Samsung, which can easily produce a follow-up effect. The following manufacturers all think that they will suffer losses if they continue to do business with Samsung, so they simply follow the example of Guoke and Samsung. Xiaomi chose other suppliers.
So Samsung is losing not only its mobile phones in the Chinese market, but also its behind-the-scenes supply chain.
Of course, the reason why Guoke and Xiaomi are so courageous is because in this era, Samsung has not achieved a true technology monopoly. Even the electronic screens that they are proud of can be perfectly replaced by Japan's Sharp.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng guessed that Kim Jae-hwan wanted to restart the cooperation between Guoke and Samsung.
Of course, this is not the key. The main thing is to guide those Chinese electronic device manufacturers who are following the trend to stop hating Samsung for no reason.
"Then..."
After listening, Feng Nanqi frowned and asked, "Do we want to agree?"
"Dean Feng What’s your opinion?”
Chen Hansheng asked.
"There is no need for cooperation in the near future, but in the long run..."
Feng Nanqi was impartial and analyzed only from a technical perspective: "First of all, Samsung currently The flexible OLED screen that is being developed is a development trend that both Director Li and I have analyzed. Our third-generation phones can use Sharp, and there will be no problem with our fourth-generation phones, but what about the future Fruit 5, Fruit 6 and Fruit 7?"
Chen Hansheng nodded slightly, Li Xiaokai also mentioned this before.
"The second is the chip."
Feng Nanqi continued: "At present, we have been using chips from Qualcomm in the United States. We are afraid that one day they will suddenly cut off supply. Although this possibility It's very small, but if something happens, Samsung can still be used as a backup."
"Hmm... It will still exist after the year, but there is nothing we can do about it because our country started too slowly in this regard.
In fact, the simplest way is for the wealthy Guoke Electronics to directly acquire foreign chip companies in order to obtain the most advanced chip technology.
This seems to cost a lot of money, but compared to the manpower, material resources and time in the research and development process, it is the most cost-effective.
"The last point."
Old Feng sighed and said: "I have been studying Apple for the past two days. To be honest, the iOS system is the same as Windows. A great invention in human history, so the one that will put the greatest pressure on us in the future will probably not be Samsung mobile phones, but Apple.”
"Ouch~"
Chen Hansheng grinned, Dean Feng is really far-sighted.
"Then let's try to talk to Samsung?"
Chen Hansheng asked.
"We can talk."
Feng Nanqi paused: "But the attitude..."
"The attitude must be tougher."
Chen Hansheng understood: "Otherwise, with the virtue of the stick, they will climb up along the pole, right?"
"Director Chen is really the best I have ever seen, and he has a good grasp of the situation. The most accurate person."
Feng Nanqi sincerely praised: "Maybe this is an indispensable ability for entrepreneurs."
"Hey~"
< p>Chen Hansheng made another joke: "Dean Feng, even if you praise me, I won't be happy, stupid human being!""What?"
Old Feng has never watched "One Piece" and doesn't know Chopper's famous saying.
"Nothing."
Chen Hansheng shrugged: "I mean, I'm best at pretending and acting."
·· ····
After the agreement was reached, Chen Hansheng deliberately wet his hair, pretending as if he had just taken a shower.
Feng Nanqi was not surprised by the big boss's nagging behavior. After arriving at the coffee shop on the first floor, Jin Zaihuanzheng was chatting and laughing with the leaders of China Mobile and China Unicom.
When they saw Chen Hansheng approaching, the expressions on their faces calmed down slightly.
Chen Hansheng didn't care at all about this obvious outward appearance. As long as it didn't affect Guoke's interests, Chen Hansheng didn't care who he was dating.
"Director Chen, long time no see."
Jin Zaihuan took the initiative to extend his hand. His Chinese has improved a lot than before.
"Ha~"
Chen Hansheng shook his hand casually, raised his eyebrows and said, "Goodnight."
After saying that, he "chicking" He pulled out a chair, sat down carelessly, and introduced to Feng Nanqi: "Dean Feng of our Guomi Research Institute."
In the eyes of ordinary people, Feng Nanqi seems to be low-key and has no reputation. But he has a very good reputation in the industry and everyone knows him.
After a while of meaningless pleasantries, Jin Zaihuan slowly turned to the topic: "Dr. Chen, the pre-sale scene of your third-generation mobile phone is very hot. I saw that when it was officially launched, the sales volume in the first month Probably more than Motorola."
"Right."
Chen Hansheng crossed his legs and said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "This is all thanks to your company."
After Samsung mobile phones were delisted from the mainland, most of the remaining market was occupied by Guoke. According to the inference of "whoever is the final beneficiary is the murderer", Samsung can basically determine those cases of mobile phone explosions. , it’s Guoke who is behind the scenes.
Chen Hansheng now says this,It's really a bit murderous and heart-wrenching.
Faced with the uncooperative attitude of "Guoke Chen", the leaders of the two state-owned enterprises seemed to be indifferent. They could only act as middlemen, which was the limit.
If I want to speak for Samsung again, Guoke is not a soft persimmon. He might just go to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to file a complaint.
"Axi! Chen Hansheng is such a bastard who is difficult to communicate with!"
In fact, Kim Jae-hwan is also complaining in his heart, but for now, Samsung really needs a nutshell role, so he replied with a high-sounding tone: "Samsung's mission is to contribute to human society, and being able to help Guoke is also within its responsibilities."
"Haha, almost. I believed this nonsense."
Chen Hansheng nodded with a smile.
However, Chen Hansheng was not active, Feng Nanqi did not say a word, and the scene suddenly became stagnant.
The leaders of China Mobile and China Unicom's state-owned enterprises were a little restless. This was what middlemen were most afraid of. Just when the atmosphere was about to turn completely cold, Kim Jae-hwan did not forget his mission. He crossed his arms. Put it on the table, lean forward slightly, and assume an upright and steady look.
Sure enough, when Jin Zaihuan spoke again, he slowed down, with a bit of seriousness and sincerity: "Dr. Chen, due to unavoidable historical reasons, we There are some prejudices between the two companies. Of course, I admit that these prejudices mainly come from our Korean side..."
Several state-owned enterprise leaders looked at each other. They were all a little surprised, which is rare. When senior executives of Korean companies talk like this, usually the eyelids of these idiots would be raised to the sky.
“Stop!”
I didn’t expect that Chen Hansheng would not give him any face at all, and interrupted impatiently: “Director Jin, I want to make it clear that I actually have a prejudice against you Koreans. , We really never paid much attention to it. You always think that China is chasing you. In fact, we have never regarded South Korea as an opponent."
"I think so."
< p>Chen Hansheng looked arrogant: "Old Feng means the same thing. You can also ask the leaders of state-owned enterprises to see if they regard South Korea as an opponent in their hearts?""Cough cough cough· ······"
Several leaders coughed in unison. In fact, Chen Hansheng's words made them suddenly think of something.
Why when negotiating with South Korea, no matter how arrogant their attitude is, they don’t seem to take it to heart. The reason behind this kind of "not caring" turns out to be that they don’t regard the other party as a human being. A level opponent.
Even calling Chen Hansheng to come down for coffee tonight seemed to be because he couldn't defeat Kim Jae-hwan and had no choice but to meet his request.
“Those who start a business from scratch see problems so sharply.”
The leaders of state-owned enterprises looked calm on their faces and admired them in their hearts."Chen"'s performance left a deep impression on everyone.
Whether it is in public or private communication, the person who promotes our country's authority is always "Chen in a Nutshell"!
However, Chen Hansheng's words slapped Jin Zaihuan hard, and his eyes suddenly turned evil.
It's a pity that Chen Hansheng is a serious ruffian, how can he be afraid of such a threat? He leaned back on the sofa without any scruples, stared at Jin Zaihuan equally fiercely, and took a sip of coffee.
After drinking the coffee, he was ready to get up and leave, which meant that today. The late exchange ended in vain.
Now the scene between the two parties is very similar to the scene when buying and selling clothes.
The customer said: "Boss, can I sell this dress for 80?" "
The boss replied: "The purchase price is only 90 yuan. If you really like it, I will give you 100 yuan, and I will earn 10 yuan for travel expenses. "
The customer said: "80 yuan! If you don't sell it, I'll leave. ”
The boss said: “Then you can leave, you really can’t get this price.” ”
The customer turned around and left, and the boss didn’t try to stay at first.
Both parties obviously had needs, but it was just a matter of seeing who couldn’t stand it first. In the end, it was the boss who took the lead and said, “Wait a minute, lose money.” I'll sell it to you." Or the customer gave up in advance and said, "Okay, okay, 100 is 100, I really like it, otherwise I wouldn't buy it. "
Chen Hansheng and Jin Zaihuan were also at a stalemate. As time passed by, the coffee in Chen Hansheng's hand was bottoming out little by little.
Just now When he was about to stand up, Jin Zaihuan suddenly sighed: "Director Chen, I'm asking you tonight. I don't want to discuss those ideological things. I just think there is still a lot of room for cooperation, especially in the face of a powerful company like Apple." opponent. ”
“You bitch! ”
Chen Hansheng snorted in his heart. Samsung Electronics’ needs were obviously more urgent, but he had already taken the initiative in the conversation and would not continue to provoke and force him. So he snapped his fingers and pretended I yelled: "waitress, please refill your cup of coffee!" ”
Jin Zaihuan breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Hansheng is willing to stay.
Damn it, this is a super difficult Chinese to deal with.
"Yeah, yeah, let's just have a drink and don't talk about political topics..."
The leaders of state-owned enterprises have the ability to observe words and emotions keenly, and they can immediately find opportunities to smooth things over, and the atmosphere will be immediate. It's getting lively.
Feng Nanqi remained silent, but while he was adjusting his glasses, Old Feng still curled up into a smile.
The big boss's performance tonight was perfect. !
... Xiaokai, he suddenly flew to Silicon Valley overnight
This was not a last resort and he would not leave Jianye.man, that means the situation already needs him very much.
At the same time, Cao Jiande, who is likely to take over the position of "Guoke Chairman", flew directly to the headquarters of Samsung Electronics in South Korea. It is said that he received a warm welcome this time.
Only Chen Hansheng quietly left Silicon Valley according to his original plan and went to find his Bai Yueguang and his little daughter.

(This chapter is probably some foreshadowing. In the future, some business progress will be mentioned in the extra chapter, so everyone will not find it awkward.)
