3. The meaning of domestic production and the nature of the standard dispute (Part 1)(1/2)
In June, the weather in Beijing is basically fine.
At thirty degrees, I can already feel the breath of summer.
I'm feeling a little sleepy this afternoon.
Mr. Fang Nian, who was no longer Fang Nian's classmate, had no chance to take a lunch break.
After having lunch in the cafeteria of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and chatting with Miao Wei in his office, it was just time to leave for Fuyou.
Finally, Director Ding called again, and Miao Wei was also called.
Fang Nian happily got into Minister Miao's car and said with a smile: "Look, I have foresight. I came to the ministry to have lunch first to refresh myself. It would be great for us to be together."
Miao Wei responded with a smile on the surface: "It's pretty good, it's pretty good."
In my mind: "Why do I feel that this thing was done on purpose today? It must be waiting for me here!"
He, Miao Wei, was a well-established boss after all, and of course he had heard about it. Ding Yixiang had met Fang Nian as early as when they were in Shencheng.
Thinking about it again, oh wow, it’s not just living together!
Director Ding must have spoken to Fang Nian a long time ago!
Otherwise, if you are such a big boss like Fang Nian, not to mention subsidiaries or not, your network of contacts would be spread all over the world, and you would have no place to eat?
Do you have to come to the cafeteria?
Oh, does the chef in the canteen of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology cook delicious food? No matter how delicious it is, can it be as good as a state banquet?
"..."
Fang Nian didn't care about Miao Wei's perfunctory words.
He didn't even know what Miao Wei was thinking about at the moment, and his thoughts were far away in Kyushu.
Fang Nian was thinking about Lenovo things in his mind.
In fact, it makes sense for Miao Wei to mention that Lenovo's matter must be resolved.
Starting from May 30, Lenovo's consumer and enterprise businesses suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Especially the enterprise business can be said to be completely gone.
On the consumer side, it's okay. There aren't that many choices in the PC market, and consumers don't always pay attention to news reports. There are changes, but it's okay.
As for the mobile phone business, it has long been reduced to mainly white brands, and the impact has not changed much.
but……
No matter how big a company is, if its business suddenly shrinks by 70 or 80%, it will not be able to survive.
It’s okay for Miao Wei to mention the starting point of this matter.
After all, Frontier exerted some influence.
At least Miao Wei got straight to the point and mentioned that the nwK kernel operating system did not authorize Lenovo. There are indeed cutting-edge and even recent factors in it.
Regardless of whether Fang Nian agrees with this or not, he will be blamed.
Fortunately, this is indeed a fact, and Fang Nian is not an injustice.
In addition, Fang Nian bluntly refused contact from Lenovo on both a personal and business level.
But this cannot be counted among Fang Nian's years.
Before this morning, Fang Nian was still a classmate of Fang Nian, and he was still a student. It is understandable that there are many things going on.
Well...that's what Fang Nian thought anyway.
After going through the matter in his mind, Fang Nian said to himself: "It doesn't matter, it's impossible to destroy it anyway."
"..."
The mind is certain, the thoughts are clear, and there are no more obstacles and entanglements.
Miao Wei's Audi car parked gently in front of a building on the right side of the mansion. This time he did not go directly to the wall to see the lake view.
After a while, Fang Nian followed Miao Wei into a conference room.
When I walked in, I looked up and saw Ping Shu sitting there.
Then I saw several other leaders.
They are all familiar faces. Fang Nian had personal business cards handed over by his secretary to most of the people present.
There are also one or two personal business cards that I have never received, such as those from Pingshu.
Before Fang Nian could speak, Ping Shu waved to him and said, "Xiao Fang."
Fang Nian nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face: "Hello Ping Shu, good afternoon all leaders."
"..."
After they sat down and served warm tea, Ping Shu did not speak first. Instead, Mr. Li, another big boss sitting next to him, smiled and said: "Xiao Fang, I think Miao Bu has already mentioned the Lenovo matter to you."
"It's a coincidence that we all want to hear your thoughts today."
Strictly speaking, compared to the current scene, this can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
Therefore, what Mr. Li said was just a coincidence.
Otherwise, even if there is a quarrel on the 'Big Brother' side, Miao will at most mediate on their behalf.
Just like the 3Q dispute that is still being litigated.
Fang Nian did not shirk the blame, he sorted it out a little, and said calmly: "Logically speaking, no matter the cause and process of this matter, as the chairman of Frontier, I am responsible;
Before coming here, Miao Bu happened to mention this to me;
I also expressed my opinion that some local companies have been in a near-monopoly position for a long time and are almost the only one in the industry. Both consumers and relevant units prefer them. Although they are domestic products, they are already non-domestic products."
Having said this, Fang Nian paused briefly and said thoughtfully: "Personally, I think the current situation is more market-oriented."
Mr. Li said calmly: "Oh?"
Seeing that Pingshu and several other big guys, including Miao Wei, had no intention of speaking, Fang Nian had no choice but to continue speaking in the face of Mr. Li's gaze.
"This is not inconsistent with the fact that on the enterprise side, core units should try their best to use domestically produced products that are completely independent and controllable."
“On the consumer side, good domestic products are indeed worthy of support, but it does not mean that consumers deserve to be trapped by marketing traps, nor does it mean that consumers cannot abandon junk products;
Moreover, in my opinion, no matter which industry, to be called excellent domestic products must have the ability to compete on the same level in the international market."
After saying that, Fang Nian looked directly at the eyes of several big bosses and did not flinch.
After a while, Miao Wei took the lead in breaking the silence and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang said this very politely."
"I have also heard that some companies are indeed accustomed to low prices abroad and high prices domestically. This is not a normal form of market competition."
After Miao Wei finished speaking, another minister took over, looked at Fang Nian, and said frankly: "Mr. Fang, leaving aside the consumer market, Lenovo's enterprise business has your frontier responsibilities, right?"
Hearing this, Fang Young smiled lightly: "In fact, I even think that the enterprise and even some core units do not have to completely ban overseas brands from entering, as long as the core is independently controllable by us."
"As for Lenovo, I think there is a very strange problem. A local company that has been close to a monopoly for a long time and enjoys countless preferential treatment does not even have the slightest control over its core technology?
If I remember correctly, the nwK kernel has been open sourced for more than two years. Not counting the commercial Wenqilin system of the National University of Defense Technology, there are several other independent and controllable domestic systems that are relatively well-known."
"Frontier has not banned open source commercial use based on the nwK kernel, and has not received any closed source commercial applications from relevant units."
Fang Young's understatement caused the conference room to fall into silence again.
yes.
‘Big Brother’ has brought all the complaints to the ground.
The words may be sharp and pointed.
So much so that Miao Wei went out of his way to communicate with Fang Nian in advance and even moved into this conference room by the way.
However, although Fang Nian's words were light and airy, they went straight to the core issue.
And it's very realistic.
You really should ask why.
Why does a large company that has been among the world's top two in the personal computer field for many years, and even occasionally the first, not even have independent and controllable core technologies?
Yes, other computer brands may not have it, but they will not have the security and privacy threats posed by core technologies.
Furthermore, as it is also a domestic brand, why is Shenzhou willing to develop its own operating system based on the nwK kernel?
Very few people talk about these things on the table.
Because the core reason is very simple: profit.
Independent research and development is inconsistent with the development direction of ‘Big Brother’.
Using the lowest cost to capture the largest amount of profits is their core development idea.
Therefore, when Fang Nian spread it out and talked about it, he expressed his attitude very directly.
He just doesn't like Big Brother.
Whether it's the previous friction or something else, Fang Nian doesn't like it, it's as simple as that.
