Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
"Everyone here knows about the recent events involving Hasee and Lenovo, right?"
Shen Fang looked at the various mobile phone brand manufacturers present.
Ren Zhengfei began by saying, "Everyone knows about this. Liu Lianxiang really went too far."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They all knew perfectly well what was going on. It wasn't just Lenovo; everyone present was thinking of copying Shenzhou-1. Some were just doing it, while others hadn't yet.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "To be honest, I really look down on this kind of behavior. It's just a patent. If you want it, just come to me directly. Do you think I'd charge you?"
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
Liu Lirong mustered his courage and said, "President Shen, what you're saying..."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "That's right. The reason I gathered everyone here today is for one thing: to disclose all the patents we currently hold for the Shenzhou-1 mobile phone for free."
The crowd erupted in uproar.
"Mr. Shen, is it true?"
"Mr. Shen, you must be joking."
"President Shen..."
As expected, getting something for free is the most popular way for humans.
“When I speak, I never joke around, but of course I have my conditions.”
Liu Lirong said directly, "President Shen, name your terms!"
Are you kidding me? Once they master these technologies, the money will just flow in! What kind of behavior is this? This is the behavior of a god of wealth!!!
Shen Fang clapped his hands, and Song Xiuli distributed the cooperation agreement to everyone present.
It's clearly stated above: shared patented technology, 5-year agreement.
"Everyone, you've all seen the contract. I invited you all here today to form a mobile phone alliance. We'll share resources, technology, manufacturing processes, and materials. Once you sign this agreement, all of Shenzhou's patented technologies can be shared with you for free."
"Of course, you should also share your strengths, and we can grow together."
The people present exchanged glances; it seemed like a worthwhile deal no matter how you looked at it.
"I signed it! I agreed!!!"
"I signed it too! I agreed!!!"
"Me too!!!"
"Me too!!!"
More than 10 well-known domestic mobile phone manufacturers who came today signed this agreement.
Shen Fangzhao called Rong Xiuli over: "Sister Rong, spread this news immediately."
Song Xiuli smiled: "It was all arranged long ago."
Shen Fang nodded.
......
Ren Zhengfei's home.
"Brother Shen, your move seems to be a lose-lose situation," Ren Zhengfei said, taking a sip of tea.
Shen Fang said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. The laws and regulations regarding patent rights in China are not sound to begin with. If I sue him, with Lenovo's resources, it wouldn't be a problem to drag it out for a year or two. I can't just stand by and let him annoy me, can I?"
"It would be better if everyone had food to eat. That old man is vicious. He's really petty."
Ren Zhengfei smiled and said, "He's really not a magnanimous person. You embarrassed him last time, and here he is this time."
"Brother Ren, could you help me get some support?"
Ren Zhengfei was stunned: "How do we find it?"
"Of course, we'll pin him down and rub him hard in his most prized spot!!!"
Ren Zhengfei understood: "Huawei does not have that capability for the time being."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."
"Brother Ren, I'm willing to invest 1 billion dollars in Huawei, not for anything else, but just to take down this old bastard!"
Ren Zhengfei spat out his tea: "How much??? 1 billion US dollars?"
Shen Fang nodded: "The term is 3 years, and the 1 billion US dollars will be fully received within 3 years."
“Brother Shen, Huawei is different from other companies. My personal shareholding is less than 3%. The rest of the shares have been distributed to the employees. I can’t give you shares based on your investment.”
“Can we split the shares? I don’t want more, just 10%.”
Ren Zhengfei shook his head: "It's not appropriate. It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to Huawei employees. I can't help you with this."
“Then I’ll invest $200 million and take a 1% stake. I just want to be a shareholder, so at least it’ll be like I took down that old bastard.”
Ren Zhengfei frowned. To be honest, the price offered by Shen Fang was too high. Currently, Huawei's market value is about 60 billion, but that's just a figurehead. If Shen Fang really wanted to be a shareholder, he could simply acquire Huawei's shares from outsiders.
"Okay, I agree."
Shen Fang was overjoyed, thanking Ren Laoge so much!
"Dad, dinner's ready!" Seven-year-old Yao Anna skipped over.
Looking at Shen Fang with curiosity, she thought, "This older brother is really handsome."
Shen Fang patted Yao Anna's little head: "So cute."
Yao Anna shyly hid behind Ren Zhengfei, blinking her small eyes.
"Brother, come and sit down, and try my daughter's cooking."
"Wanzhou, come here and have a drink with your Uncle Chen. I haven't been feeling well lately and can't drink. Sorry, brother."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's alright, but it's a bit awkward to call me uncle. I'm much younger than Sister Wanzhou, so let's stick to our own way of addressing each other."
Meng Wanzhou smiled and said, "That's good. Otherwise, I would feel really embarrassed. My dad often talks about you. Today is the first time we've met. President Shen, let me toast you."
Meng Wanzhou picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Shen Fang didn't stand on ceremony and drank a cup.
For three people, a meal consisted of four dishes and a soup, which, to be honest, was quite frugal for someone of their status.
However, to be fair, Shen Fang felt extremely honored to be able to taste the food prepared by the future heroine of our time.
