Chapter 2380: Workaholic’s Breakfast

Throughout the entire feature phone era, it can be said that the domestic mobile phone market is full of princes from all walks of life, and those related to this industry, or not, are rushing in.

Some of them performed quite well. Even though the marketing was well promoted and several products had some features, they still made some splash in the market and became popular for several months.

But the vast majority of them, in the era of smartphones, disappeared like flowers falling into the water.

Among domestic mobile phone companies, there are only two that Feng Yiping wants to join the Open Mobile Phone Alliance, Lenovo and Huawei.

In fact, he just wanted to bring in a family, and on this point, Jin Ling and he had the same but different attitudes.

She also felt that it would be good to only bring in one family, and that family was naturally Lenovo.

"In the field of private enterprises, Lenovo is second only to us in terms of sales and social influence..."

Frankly speaking, when it surpassed Lenovo and became the top 500 private enterprise, Jin Ling was still very excited. She has always had great respect for this company that had always been ahead of Huaqiang in terms of sales.

And because Lenovo spent a large amount of money to become a sponsor of the Capital Olympics, coupled with its previous acquisition of IBM's PC business, the popularity of the Lenovo brand at this time is really at its peak.

But Huawei, please, she immediately took the computer to the dining table and pulled out a document, "Their revenue last year was only 65.6 billion, which is a little more than half of Lenovo's,"

"Lenovo entered the mobile phone field in 2002, one year earlier than Huawei,"

"Don't you always say that the Open Handset Alliance should have very high requirements for its founding members?"

Well, she actually looks down on Huawei a little now.

It’s hard to say that she doesn’t see the problem comprehensively. At this time, Huawei has not invested heavily in research and development. Besides, if it has, how can it do more than Jiaqiang?

In the past few years, Lenovo has been at the top of the top 500 domestic private companies, and its founder is also known as a leader in the business community. Compared with it, Huawei is indeed a few steps behind.

"Of course I have my own reasons, because in the field of mobile communications, Huawei has huge advantages. You see, they can be said to be at the world's leading level in business fields such as mobile networks and fixed networks," Feng Yiping explained. Said, “They have made a lot of achievements in core technology,”

Jin Ling immediately said, "Don't talk about the old reasons of trade, industry and technology or technology, industry and trade. We all know that both paths can succeed or fail."

Feng Yiping had analyzed Lenovo’s model within the company very early on, and was not too optimistic about Lenovo Industrial Technology’s route.

"Just look at Lenovo's rapid growth in the past two years, relying on the trade, industry and technology model,"

"But let's look at it again. IBM's PC business was acquired by Lenovo. In fact, the overall situation of IBM is not optimistic at present. It is following the path of technology, industry and trade,"

"So, there is no superiority or inferiority between these two models,"

Feng Yiping was stunned for a moment. Jin Ling's thinking on this issue was still profound. What she said was indeed reasonable. However, at this time, even Jobs probably didn't know. It is still prosperous and is still a representative of high technology. The PC business will enter an irreversible downward channel in the next few years.

By then, businesses including Lenovo, HP and Dell will have shrunk. The most popular products at that time will be various mobile hardware including mobile phones. Huawei's advantages will be quickly reflected by then.

"What you said makes sense," he thought for a moment and had to organize his words from another direction. "According to the relevant information they released last year, we can see that Huawei has successfully served the top 50 global telecom operators. 31 of them have been recognized by telecom operators in many European countries.”

“60% of their operating income last year came from overseas. These advantages, I think, will be of great help to their smartphone business. This means that in addition to the domestic market, their smartphones are also sold in Europe. , there will also be considerable advantages,”

"Lenovo isn't bad either," Jin Ling said immediately.

"However, Lenovo's relationship with telecom operators is not as good as Huawei's. You also know that in many European and American countries, cooperation with telecom operators determines the sales of your mobile phones,"

"So in the long term, I am optimistic about Huawei's performance in the field of smartphones," Feng Yiping patted Jin Ling's face, "I said, you didn't mean to argue with me like this,"

"You think too much," Jin Ling rolled her eyes at him.

But she soon realized that, in fact, it might actually be the reason Feng Yiping said.

The most familiar and common mode of communication between the two of them is to discuss work. Jin Ling is not used to talking about clothes, cosmetics, jewelry, or the feud between the two families with Feng Yiping.

With her character, she wouldn't ask Feng Yiping to accompany her to movies, concerts, etc. As for going shopping together? Not to mention Feng Yiping, for her, now it's all about visiting her home or her office.

Whenever she wants, the latest fashions, accessories, jewelry, bags... and even cars of the season will be delivered to her immediately.

Among them, the fashion department, whose current development is not satisfactory to Feng Yiping, has a lot of credit.

At the same time, as long as she wants, she can always enjoy high-end customized services. Why else should she go shopping?

Besides, she must have the time first.

Also, given that they had just entered a new stage and because of her physical condition, it was not easy for her and Feng Yiping to talk about topics related to children... So, what else could they talk about, only work.

Therefore, she felt that she should reposition herself and show more of her gentle and virtuous side when getting along like this.

So when she took the bread covered with jam from Feng Yiping, she also chose a crab soup dumpling that he liked to eat, "Be careful, don't burn it,"

Feng Yiping skillfully poked a small hole in it with chopsticks, "Actually, we can also analyze these two companies from another aspect,"

"Well," with the thought just now, Jin Ling didn't want to continue talking about work matters at this time, "at noon..."

Not at noon, as he and I will be very busy at noon.

"Whatever you want to eat tonight, I'll cook it for you,"

"No, just tell the restaurant," Feng Yiping didn't realize Jin Ling's change at all, "We can talk from the perspective of the founders of these two companies,"

"They happen to be in the same year. Due to the times, their entrepreneurial situations are surprisingly similar. They have both achieved remarkable achievements. As the founders of the company, they have always had the vision to make the business last forever,"

"But the difference is that the founder of Lenovo has now taken a back seat and left the development of the company to young people like Yang Shaoshuai. It can also be said that the development of the company has been left to professional managers."

"As for Huawei, the founder has been worrying about the company's development and always thinking about the company's development strategy and possible crises."

"Of course, to a certain extent, there is no right or wrong between these two methods. However, considering that both of them can be said to be the 'godfathers' of starting their own businesses, in the domestic cultural environment, they are like this Whether a character participates in the company's work or lets go of the company's work will undeniably have a different impact on employees,"

"Yes, you see, once you return to China, the working conditions of domestic employees are different," Jin Ling couldn't help but say.

Feng Yiping heard Jin Ling's jealousy and said with a smile, "A partnership like the two of us is a special case."

"At the same time, we must take into account that professional managers are relatively better at performance rather than strategy, and in the development process of enterprises, they will always encounter growth bottlenecks,"

"At times like that, forward-looking strategies will play a huge role,"

"So I think it's too early for Lenovo to take over. Huawei's advantages brought by this will become more and more obvious in the future,"

Jin Ling couldn't help but added, "Then do you think it's possible for you to retire at 35?"

Feng Yiping was suffocated suddenly and was speechless.

Last night, he thought about the issue of his future children and the company for half the night. Combined with the point he just analyzed, the words Jin Ling just asked hit another point that he is not willing to think about in detail now.

Is retirement dream a reality?

Looking at his look, Jin Ling knew that what he said was not the right time to ask, so he quickly changed the subject, "Hey, try dipping the bread into the soup in the bun."

Then I felt that this was really not my style.

"You didn't answer me last time. Why did you put the domestic mobile phone company at the end?"

As soon as she said the words, she regretted it again, tsk! Why am I talking about work again...
