Chapter 644 [Industry New Situation]
When he got home, Luo Sheng notified the housekeeper to give the matter. The female employees who had been doing housekeeping services in the Science and Technology Complex for seven or eight years were fired as Luo Sheng asked.
Although they were reluctant and wanted to stay and continue working, Luo Sheng gave them much more treatment than their peers' salary, and they were also able to gain insight.
However, the butler had already said it very clearly, and they were all very satisfied with the generous liquidated damages at one time.
The housekeeper of the Science and Technology Complex is an elite. Luo Sheng quickly understood these things and knew that An Qingxue was pregnant because Luo Sheng also told him to hire an obstetrician’s private nursing assistant. This is not obvious.
The housekeeper was hired by Luo Sheng after the building was completed. Over the years, he certainly understood some of the employer's life, so he naturally understood the intention of dismissing these people.
However, the female domestic employees who were fired did not know the real reason. Instead, they felt that the scumbag boss was probably tired of it and wanted to change his taste. The rich liquidated damages and confidentiality agreements were considered to be banishing fees for them.
It is indeed a closure fee, but this closure fee is not the other closure fee.
Naturally, these female employees did not dare to go out and talk nonsense. On the one hand, they signed a confidentiality agreement, and once they breached the contract, they might lose all their money, and that would be in vain. On the other hand, they knew that it would not be too easy for the richest man in the world to deal with small roles like them. Under the double shock, they would naturally keep their mouths tight.
However, they did not resign immediately and had to complete the work handover. The housekeeper had to hire a group of new people to take over their jobs, otherwise no one would take care of such a large building.
Luo Sheng doesn't have to worry about these issues by himself, just give it a command, and the private housekeeper will arrange everything appropriately.
The family added a little princess, which did not disrupt Luo Sheng's life rhythm, nor did it have any impact on him in his work. More than 5 people knew about the family, and the family affairs were quite low-key, and few outsiders knew about it. He was even at the single level in the public eye.
This also added a topic of discussion on the question of whether the archbishop has a girlfriend or not, but this did not actually affect Luo Sheng's life.
...
In terms of the company, Yao Jianhong found the person from Xiawei and talked.
Hua is the board of directors.
At the meeting, Xu Zhijun spoke: "What do you think about this?"
A director at the meeting said: "I don't know if this is Luo Sheng's meaning or Yao Jianhong's meaning, but there is no difference. It is enough to know that this is what the board of directors of the Coast of Azure means."
Yu Dazui spread his hands and said, "What else can I think? I gave us a choice on the surface, but in fact, do we have a choice? Not agreeing is equivalent to putting us on the fire and offending the entire industry."
Another director shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not a coincidence that the Coast of Azure has been able to grow to this point in just over ten years. This is indeed a clever way to kick the ball. He has left us the problem. He has taken good people, and he has taken good things, and we have become bad people."
Mr. Ren held the back of his hand and placed it on his thigh, and smiled and said, "You can't say that. If we agree, we don't have to be a bad person. It is a matter of being able to ask for our opinions in advance. If we disagree, I believe that the Costa delle should be as authorized as they said, so I will not be able to distribute this technology."
Another director clapped his hands and said, "That's because he knew we would definitely agree, so he did this trick."
Mr. Ren said: "Will that be over? No matter what, this is conducive to the sustainable development of the entire industry, but it is nothing wrong with the Costa à and their ability. We have difficulties, and they have to consider their long-term problems. This is their difficulty. We cannot let the Costa à can clearly solve risks but turn a blind eye to others, right? The motivation is anti-human."
Obviously, Mr. Ren has seen the strategic intention of the layout of the Costa delle.
Mr. Ren continued: "I also admit that human nature is selfish, and there is nothing wrong with selfishness, but there are two levels of selfishness here. One is to satisfy one's own selfishness by hurting others, and the other is to satisfy others' selfishness, and then satisfy one's own selfishness by the way. This move on the Costa 1999 is the latter. This is already valuable. In the Tao Te Ching, I said: Selflessness is great selfishness."
"Although Costa lies a bit domineering in doing this, it cannot be denied that their proposals are fully considered by partners. Honor has no actual losses, but on the contrary gives a better future. If I can evaluate the Costa 's practice, including its past practices, it will be two words - kind."
After Mr. Ren finished speaking, the board of directors was quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at each other and nodded involuntarily.
A director who attended the meeting smiled and said, "The evaluation of the word "kindness" is indeed very pertinent. In the turbulent shopping mall, how many people can really be kind? There are many ways to achieve their goals, and they are all legal and unruly picking up bad money. Luo Sheng is indeed kind, at least he has not played any "slim legs" moves to our company. He said he would not interfere in our company's core business and did not do it. He has been waiting for our baseband without self-development and is still using Qualcomm. He has been hit by foreigners before and did not blame our communication baseband for not being able to achieve strong progress. This is kindness."
Another director also said: "The relationship between our company and the Coast of Azure can be described as the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. The Coast of Azure deserves the word "gentleman", and we cannot be villains."
According to the strategic cooperation agreement eleven years ago, Huawei's communication baseband technology has caught up with it. Costa à will give up Qualcomm's technology by then, and Luo Sheng has indeed not developed its own communication baseband so far.
Can't it be done?
A series of leading technologies in the Costa delta have emerged in large numbers, and no one will doubt its R&D capabilities. This is the promise.
And Huawei is indeed fighting against communication baseband chip technology.
In addition, Huawei's server business is worth mentioning. This is an edge business, but now it is becoming bigger and bigger. This situation cannot be separated from the support of Luo Sheng ten years ago. Although he knew that Huawei's server technology was not good, he still kept giving orders, which led to the current situation.
Although this is also a preparation for Luo Sheng to avoid being constrained by foreigners, no matter what, it is profitable.
Finally, Yu Dazui said, "That's what I meant to agree? Well, then I'll call Mr. Yao later."
None of the directors made sense. Obviously, the matter was decided so, and there was no too much to talk about.
The following is the question of which technology is needed, and there will be another meeting to discuss this.
Mr. Ren finally added: "We want to buy the technology of the Costa delle, but the Honor brand, including the entire company, cannot be influenced by the 'comprador idea'. No matter how hard it is to invest in R&D, no matter how hard it is to strive for it."
Everyone nodded repeatedly. It was better to buy than to build, and it was not better to rent than to buy than to rent. It was not a gene of Huawei, nor was it because it had no money to research and development. Huawei was still rich, but it was not as rich as the Costa ça, and its annual R&D investment was also among the best in the world.
Secondly, being too dependent on the technology of the Costa delle will inevitably be hindered in the future. This is not a style of Huawei. How other companies think about other people's affairs, but what they should do themselves must adhere to the original self-research and development policy.
...
After learning about Huawei's attitude on the Costa 1st, Yao Jianhong was finally able to reply to his competitors.
A week later, several well-known domestic friendly brands sent representatives to the Costa del Scenic Headquarters to discuss and began to discuss cooperation issues on technology authorization and distribution. All well-known major manufacturers came, including two international manufacturers, Samsung and Apple.
It is no exaggeration to say that this technology authorization distribution is a major event in the global smartphone industry, but such a big thing is done very low-key, with almost no big publicity and no shock in the industry.
That's because it's not time to shake, so how to divide the distribution is a big problem, and some of them are irrelevant.
Technology distribution is exclusive. One technology is licensed to a manufacturer. Other third parties cannot obtain the same technology from the Costa ça, but it will not prevent the third party from seeking cooperation with other companies, or they can develop it themselves. This is based on their ability.
This matter lasted almost two months. Finally, Honor obtained the advantageous technology of the camera from the Costa ça, Oppo was divided into the advantageous technology of industrial design, Vivo obtained the advantageous technology of the sound, Xiaomi obtained the advantageous technology of 2k screen, and Apple obtained the technical advantages of the system.
At the same time, all manufacturers are connected to Lifi technology, not exclusive to Azure-5.
This basically determines the main selling points of major manufacturers in the future. The industry has raised a level as a whole, but the pattern has not changed. Everyone has made progress, which means that none of them has made progress.
But if you can raise the price, the entire cake of the entire industry will definitely be bigger. Of course, only consumers will pay the bill. In return, you can also enjoy technical services that match the price.
As for how to evolve later, it is based on your ability, but no matter what, it will not threaten the position of the Costa del Azure as the leading industry. These manufacturers should have the advantageous technologies such as the Azure smartphones and the advantageous technologies that are not available in the Azure smartphones, such as the "Blue Core" processors with unique skills, artificial intelligence, and the current graphene + oled flexible screens. These technologies will not be authorized.
Since it is a technical authorization, it is naturally not a free lunch. A friend of the company that uses Costa à technology, the mobile phone sold is based on a commission of 7.5% of the profit after excluding manufacturing costs, which is equivalent to a mobile phone's profit of 100 yuan, while Costa à only costs 7.5 yuan. This is much more generous than Qualcomm, who plays "double charges" or pumps water at the retail price of the entire machine.
This industry-wide adjustment is also good news for consumers who cannot afford to buy an Azure-5 mobile phone, and they can also enjoy better technical services through other brands.
Today's era is an era of continuous segmentation of industries. All industries are further segmenting their needs. Taking smartphones as an example, different consumer demand markets have been segmented. Some people prefer to take more photos on mobile phones, some people prefer to have more music, and some people prefer to have more systems, and there are not many requirements for other functions.
An Azure-5 can bring all-round high-quality services, of course it is the best, but it is also the most expensive.
In the future, we can choose products based on the selling points of major manufacturers, which will allow major manufacturers to have their own basics. This will definitely have an impact on the performance of Azure mobile phones, but this part of the economic losses have been hedged through the commission of technical authorization. This is a stable income to "provision" to the Costa delta, which can be said to be a guaranteed income for drought and flood.
Other competitors may lose, but the Costa delle is just a replacement for someone who accepts "offering".
What is certain is that in the future, there will definitely be manufacturers who will experience the sweetness of this technological "comprador" and become lazy. Luo Sheng will not care about it. Market behavior will eliminate these manufacturers and some will replace them.
