Chapter 1541 This debt isn't a loss.
After Li Ye uttered that curse, Li Juan, Fu Yiruo, and even Wen Leyu at the dinner table were all stunned.
Because he was criticizing Pan Xiaoying, and the phrase "inviting a wolf into the house" is basically associated with "stupidity".
But it was 1993, and the whole mainland was learning from advanced overseas experience. Even Li Ye's branch factory was constantly seeking overseas technology. So how could cooperating with Microsoft, a leading company in the computer industry, be called "inviting a wolf into the house"?
However, Li Ye's consistent adherence to his words over the years has made Li Juan and others dare not ignore his opinions.
Wen Leyu asked seriously, "Inviting a wolf into the house? Li Ye, are you serious?"
Li Ye replied very seriously, "Of course I'm serious. You know how much effort we've put into software development over the years. It seems we've been targeted by those vultures."
Let me explain something to you. Decades ago, overseas merchants dumped tinplate and cloth into the mainland. The prices were cheap and the quality was decent, but in the end, no one wove cloth or forged iron anymore.
Therefore, when we arranged for Fengyu Electronics to cooperate with Factory 506, we stated that we must follow an independent and self-reliant path. Absorbing overseas technology is acceptable, but allowing overseas companies to interfere is absolutely unacceptable.
But our software now is not the cheap imitation it used to be. I talked to Lao Ni a few days ago; our software can compete with theirs in some aspects. If you were the owner of a competitor company, would you kindly add fuel to the fire for Lao Ni?
“.”
"I'll call and ask right now."
Wen Leyu's face immediately darkened, and she stood up to make a phone call, not even eating her meal.
Seeing Wen Leyu's pale face, Li Juan, like a child who had made a mistake, asked Li Ye hesitantly, "Brother, I didn't know this was so serious, otherwise I would have told you already."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. None of you understand the true nature of those financial giants. You've all been deceived by their so-called 'friendliness'."
“.”
After hearing Li Ye's words, Li Juan lowered her head, feeling even more ashamed.
When she was assigned to the mobile company, her older and younger sisters reminded her that she was there to "keep an eye" on the family's interests, since the Li family had a stake in the mobile company.
Now look what's happened! They're about to raid her base, and she still thinks it's a good thing!
However, Fu Yiruo, who usually liked to "suppress" Li Juan, said gently, "Xiao Juan, you don't need to blame yourself. If it were me, I wouldn't have thought of letting the wolf into the house either. After all, not everyone has the foresight of our eldest brother."
Little sister Li Ying comforted him, saying, "That's right, that's right! Our brother is Old Huai's own grandson! From now on, if you hear anything unusual, just report it immediately, don't overthink it."
“.”
While her mother was making a phone call, Xiao Dou, who was secretly pouring Coke, looked up and asked with her big eyes, "Auntie, isn't my dad Grandpa and Grandma's grandson? How come he has another grandpa?"
Li Ying smiled and said, "Having one more grandfather means having one more love!"
Xiao Dou'er immediately asked, "Then can I get an extra lucky money during the New Year?"
Hahaha~
The girls burst into laughter. Li Ye's daughter's quirky and clever nature always brought them endless joy.
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.
His various miraculous operations over the years can be attributed partly to his reputation as a "top economics student from Peking University" and partly to his status as "Grandpa Huai's grandson." These two explanations happen to cover people from all levels of cognitive ability, from high to low.
But only Li Ye knew that he simply had genuine "foresight".
Following the original historical trajectory, in 1996, Microsoft approached Jinshan Company hoping to collaborate, requesting that Jinshan's WPS document format be shared with Microsoft, and that the file formats of both parties be compatible.
Because Jinshan Company was facing a crisis due to the failure of the Pangu Office System and needed some confidence-boosting actions, it readily accepted Microsoft's suggestion.
But no one expected that this decision would deal a fatal blow to Jinshan Company.
Jin Shan's original intention was to leverage Windows to boost WPS's market share, but instead, someone secretly launched a backstabbing attack.
The release of the new version of Windows bundled Word with it, causing WPS's user base to quickly switch to Microsoft.
Jin Shan was already in a difficult situation, and after this incident, she almost had to close down. If it weren't for the genius programmer Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun working tirelessly to develop WPS, there would be no WPS.
Imagine decades from now, when mainland authorities require overseas companies to report to the mainland that they must use WPS Office. Shouldn't that send chills down your spine?
Wen Leyu returned after making the phone call, her face calm, neither sad nor happy.
“I called my sister-in-law, but she wasn’t home. I told her I would visit her when she gets back!”
Li Ye sensed the anger in his wife's words; clearly, Pan Xiaoying's response to the matter had displeased Wen Leyu.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Pan Xiaoying is a big shot in the mobile company. Even if Li Ye, the investor, has any objections, according to the rules of operation of mainland companies, she might think it's "just an opinion." In the end, the one who makes the final decision is still her sitting in that chair.
Therefore, Li Ye said calmly, "Whether or not we visit is irrelevant. From now on, the technical department of Fengyu Electronics needs to pay attention to technical isolation."
After all, China Mobile is China Mobile, and Fengyu Electronics is Fengyu Electronics; they are just cooperating, not operating as a single company.
The girls were stunned for a moment, then they all started yelling angrily.
"Why should they? Where would they be without us? How much money have we spent on them over the years? If they try to renege on our promises, we'll hire lawyers in Hong Kong to sue them. We have a contract."
“.”
When Pan Xiaoying was transferred to Factory 506, Li Ye arranged for Pengcheng Fengyu Electronics to cooperate with Factory 506, injecting a large amount of capital. They produced mobile phones and engaged in mobile communications, which led to the establishment of the current mobile company and Pan Xiaoying's promising future.
So when Li Ye said he wanted to start splitting up the business, Fu Yiruo was the first to object, as she understood the prospects and profits of the telecommunications industry best.
Moreover, Fu Yiruo said these words partly to her sister-in-law Wen Leyu, since Pan Xiaoying is Wen Leyu's sister-in-law.
The relationship between a sister-in-law and her husband's sister is quite a show!
"They haven't kicked us out yet! Besides, it's a mutually beneficial arrangement, so don't say anyone helped whom later."
Li Ye stopped Fu Yiruo from continuing to complain and calmly said, "You only see the development of China Mobile in recent years, but haven't you noticed the development of Fengyu Electronics?"
A few years ago, Fengyu Electronics only had a few technical staff. How many do they have now? Who's the dumbest?
When Pan Xiaoying took office at Factory 506, the factory was indeed not doing well, but Fengyu Electronics also had its own difficulties, namely, the difficulty in recruiting people.
Back in the 1980s, it was very difficult for private enterprises to recruit college graduates from prestigious universities, and the computer industry was a typical "technology-first" industry, so it was impossible to find talent in the countryside.
If you're in real estate, as long as you're eloquent and have good speaking skills, even an elementary school student can do it very well. But try playing with a computer.
Therefore, by leveraging the reputation of Factory 506 and China Mobile, Fengyu Electronics has "tricked" many college students into joining the company over the years. Even many engineering students who wanted to study abroad were kept there by their high salaries.
Therefore, Li Ye really doesn't think he lost out on this deal.
