Chapter 2374 Helpless

"Boss Wang, is there anything else?" Feng Yiping also stopped.

"Oh, no, Boss Feng, see you tonight," Boss Wang shook his head and smiled, "Please stay."

What was the problem that made her hesitate? But Feng Yiping didn't want to think about it. In the reception room across the street, several officials accompanied by Zhou Xingyu had already stood up with a smile; on the other side, Xiao Jingwei from the Education Department and several others were also looking forward to it in the office. He had missed Xiangshan and waited until now...

On the other side, several people from HTC moved directly into the Holiday Inn opposite. If they were those sophisticated corporate leaders, the Holiday Inn in Jiasheng Business District would not be able to accommodate them at this time, because the two floors of the presidential suite in the hotel were all booked by Samsung.

Fortunately, they only chose a business suite, and the others were all standard rooms. The reason for choosing a business suite was just because they needed a meeting space and better conditions for handling work.

In fact, with HTC's current achievements, they naturally don't need to be so frugal. Just last April, HTC's stock price exceeded NT$1,000, becoming the stock king of the Taiwan stock market. Some people have already speculated that the company founded by the princess of the Wang family will take a few more years to surpass the empire founded by her father.

But obviously, like other Taiwanese businessmen, they are of the same line in cost control.

After returning to the hotel, everyone handled some work and gathered in the small conference room of the business suite. Mr. Zhou sighed again, "How young!"

Compared with Feng Yiping and other people born in the 1980s, Mr. Zhou and others who lived 60 years ago are exactly a whole generation apart.

President Wang did not look as cheerful as she was in Feng Yiping's office. "I remember that a few years ago, people were still discussing the bad habits of the post-80s generation, saying that they were little emperors and little princesses, and the lost generation."

"But let's look at Jiasheng. Not to mention President Feng, most of the people around him are under 30 years old, and the heads of many of his companies are under 40 years old."

She glanced at the people on her side. There were very few people under 30 years old, and they did not have any important responsibilities.

"President Zhou, how many people have you met on our side who are as young as President Feng, who are truly interested in starting a business, and who can leave an impression on you?"

President Zhou shook his head when he heard this, "very few,"

The very few he said was already a very polite statement, and there should be none.

"The young people on our side are the real lost generation," said President Wang.

Thanks to the development of the past few decades, some companies have emerged on their side, and then some "rich families" have emerged, but even among her peers, that is, the second generation, there are only a few who have successfully started their own businesses. As for the third generation, there is no entrepreneurship. One by one, they are all scrambling to squeeze into the entertainment section of the newspaper.

And the main force in the photos published on the financial page of the island is still the generation of President Wang and his father. Even if they can hide the white hair on their heads, they can't hide their old age anyway.

President Wang sighed, and everyone in the small conference room became depressed.

…………

It was not until dinner, after a few drinks, that the cheerful President Wang said what he wanted to say but didn't say in front of Feng Yiping's office door in the afternoon.

"Mr. Feng, these words, to be honest, should be a brief talk, but the opportunity is indeed rare,"

"Because we all know that in judging the future, Mr. Feng, you not only have a long-term vision, but you also have a clear vision," she smiled, "I believe that people who know your entrepreneurial experience, those who subscribe to "Frontier" magazine, and many people who have worked with you and have contacted you, will deeply understand this point,"

"Mr. Wang, you are too kind," Feng Yiping shook his head and said, "You just said that when you first started your business, you were a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and I am still like this now,"

"Come on, everyone, eat,"

The straightforward and generous Mr. Wang was so hesitant and serious, he knew that the next topic must be big.

"Mr. Feng is too modest," Mr. Wang smiled, "I think Mr. Feng may have some understanding of our HTC, so I would like to ask Mr. Feng, what do you think of our future development?"

This is indeed a question that is a little brief and difficult to answer.

Feng Yiping only knew about HTC's future before, but now, of course, he also knew about its past, because Wu Qian and her team had very detailed information about all the companies he wanted to bring into the Open Handset Alliance.

Feng Yiping looked at President Wang. Her words were not a roundabout way of flattering Feng Yiping's good vision and ability. She really wanted to hear Feng Yiping's opinions.

Perhaps, the rise and fall of VIA made her more aware of the crisis than ordinary entrepreneurs.

But, how to say it?

"I do know a lot about your company. I can be sure that HTC will make great achievements in the field of smartphones,"

Facing the eyes of President Wang and President Zhou, he said, "I am not being polite. I can also be sure that in the next few years, in terms of HTC's innovation and execution, there will be very high growth in the field of smartphones,"

He saw joy in the eyes of President Wang and President Zhou.

Of course they will not be complacent because of Feng Yiping's words, or give up their persistence because Feng Yiping said some unfavorable words, but in any case, hearing such words from Feng Yiping will still make them feel Happy.

To Mr. Wang, her father's words were not as weighty as Feng Yiping's, because obviously Feng Yiping had a better vision in these aspects than her father.

"Here's to you two," Feng Yiping raised his cup.

Then, as expected, the next question came, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, so where do you think we are most likely to have problems?"

This time, Feng Yiping gave an unsurprising answer, "We'd better invest more in research and development and strive to accumulate more related patents."

“Especially our high-tech companies should pay more attention to intellectual property rights. This is not only the basic element of innovative technology companies, but also the infrastructure of the industry. Multinational companies, especially American companies, often use patents to suppress or challenge competitors. s method,"

Of course he knows that HTC's biggest problem in the future will not be this problem.

When HTC was brilliant, when Mr. Wang relied on HTC's performance to become their richest man, Rebus was still at the stage where he had to throw his mobile phone in front of reporters to prove the quality of his products. Huawei's Yu Chengdong had not yet gained a reputation for his big mouth. Far and wide, Duan Yongping of BBK is still discussing with netizens whether Vanke stock is worth buying...

These people who were a big step behind her, in the following years, one by one surpassed her, the pioneer in the field of smartphones, and fell further and further away from her and HTC.

Why are latecomers in China successful, while Mr. Wang and her HTC are declining day by day?

The biggest difference is that whether it is Rebus, Yu Dazui or Duan Yongping's "O" and "V", they all attach great importance to the huge domestic market. On the other hand, HTC's focus on market development has always been Europe and the United States. The domestic market has never been the focus.

This is also a common problem among many Hong Kong and Taiwan companies. On the one hand, they always say how important the mainland market is, but in their hearts, they may never have such an understanding. The reason may be that they have always had a sense of economic superiority.

So in the end, it is impossible to gain recognition from domestic consumers, so in the end, they can only watch the mainland and surpass them step by step...

However, Feng Yiping believed that even if he said such words now, it would probably not have much effect, because both Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou should already have enough understanding of the mainland market through the operation of Dopod, but Obviously, they still have some disdain for the mainland market.

Just like you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, you can't make someone value a market that he doesn't value in his heart.

What's so helpless is that it's not just the wonderful world outside, nor is it just love.

“Patents and patent disputes have always been areas we pay great attention to,” said Mr. Wang.

They really pay attention to this point, because the reason why VIA, which used to have good development momentum, is not as good as before is because of the patent lawsuit with Intel.

Feng Yiping glanced at the smug people over there, and it seemed that some things couldn't be changed.

He quoted a former national leader's words, "A person's destiny depends on personal struggle, but the process of history must also be considered."

This statement obviously did not cause them to think deeply, "Mr. Feng is right,"

After hearing such clichés, Feng Yiping smiled and said, "Come, let's drink,"
