Chapter 288
On January 20th, in the laboratory of Lenovo Group, Academician Ni Guangnan sat helplessly on his chair, staring blankly at the instruments in front of him, looking very decadent.
Anyone who is familiar with Ni Guangnan knows that he is a man who refuses to admit defeat and is as tough as a piece of brown sugar. They have never seen Ni Guangnan look desperate and decadent.
But now that they saw it, most of the researchers under Ni Guangnan had complicated eyes, and some even couldn't help but started crying.
The reason is very simple, because just yesterday, the joint electronics laboratory that was almost ready to start work in the plan came to an abrupt end.
Because the 50 million research funds promised by Liu Chuanzhi had not yet been received, when Ni Guangnan tried his best to invite representatives from other parties to the imperial capital for a meeting, and everyone calmly discussed a suitable plan, Liu Chuanzhi directly stated his position at the meeting,
Now is not the right time to establish a joint electronics laboratory. If Lenovo wants to build one, it can build it independently without forming a joint venture with others.
The other two parties immediately got angry and ran away. United Electronics Laboratory completely told them to break up. When the angry Ni Guangnan approached Liu Chuanzhi and asked him to agree to Lenovo independently investing 100 million yuan to build an electronics laboratory, Liu Chuanzhi directly said that he was the one
The chairman of Lenovo disagreed. This matter was not negotiable. He just asked Ni Guangnan to continue researching other office equipment. At present, Lenovo does not need to get involved in the field of chips.
This was the reason why Ni Guangnan fell into despair and decadence, because at this moment, Ni Guangnan had completely understood.
At Lenovo, he would never be able to manufacture China's own computer chips. Liu Chuanzhi, his once close partner, is no longer the researcher who could work in the laboratory for more than ten years.
He is the boss. He holds hundreds of millions of funds and tens of thousands of employees. He is no longer the same person as before. He has become only interested in profit without any overall view.
Yes, Ni Guangnan himself admitted that from the current development direction of trade, industry and technology, that is, trade is greater than industry than technology, it is indeed the most suitable development direction for Lenovo.
But this is only temporary. The future will definitely be dominated by technology. Only if an enterprise adheres to the strategy of technology, industry and trade, that is, technology is greater than industry than trade, can it shine.
At this time, Ni Guangnan suddenly envied the people at Huawei. Ni Guangnan had met Huawei's CEO. He was a man just like himself, who always put technology first.
Even though Huawei has been far behind Lenovo now, Ni Guangnan believes that in the future, Huawei will be able to hold up a piece of China's technology field.
And not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of commercial output value, it is definitely not comparable to Lenovo, because Lenovo has taken the wrong path from the beginning.
This is also true. In 2020, Huawei's total revenue for a year reached a terrifying level of 721.2 billion yuan, while Lenovo's total revenue was 350 billion yuan. In this regard, Huawei is already more than double that of Lenovo.
.
But basically all the technical sovereignty of Huawei's products is in the hands of Huawei, while Lenovo is still just an assembly factory, and the profits that really belong to it are pitifully thin.
And this is just a comparison of revenue. If we look at the total market value, Lenovo's total market value in 2020 is HK$70 billion. For Huawei, because it is not listed, the specific total market value cannot be known. But according to Wall Street's report to Huawei
It is estimated that if Huawei chooses to go public, its total market value will exceed US$400 billion. You can calculate how many times it will crush Lenovo.
To tell a joke, in 2020, Lenovo's total market value is only 1/5 of Xiaomi.
Ahem, back to the topic, Ni Guangnan has realized that with Liu Chuanzhi’s one-day Lenovo, Lenovo led by trade, industry and technology strategies will never be able to realize China’s chip dream.
But Lenovo was a child raised by Ni Guangnan, and Ni Guangnan was unwilling to leave Lenovo. He watched Lenovo go on the wrong path and got out of hand.
There is only one way to solve the problem, and that is to get rid of Chairman Liu Chuanzhi and replace him with a chairman who can match his own technology, industry and trade strategy. This is the only way.
But the problem is, if you ask Ni Guangnan to study a technical problem, Ni Guangnan can think of hundreds of ways. But if you ask Ni Guangnan to find a way to get rid of the chairman of a company, it is still deeply rooted, with disciples all over the group, and he has created the chairman of the entire company.
, Ni Guangnan really couldn’t think of any way out.
So Ni Guangnan fell silent. He found that his future was gloomy and it seemed that he had no choice but to give up or sadly leave this path.
That night, Ni Guangnan returned home from get off work on time for the rare occasion. His surprised wife began to prepare lunch for Ni Guangnan, but Ni Guangnan tasted nothing.
At night, Ni Guangnan was still sitting alone on the sofa, without saying a word for a long time.
At this time, the doorbell rang suddenly, Ni Guangnan's wife opened the door, and in came Zhang Lu, Ni Guangnan's student and his right-hand man.
"Teacher! Are you still worried?" Zhang Lu asked with some distress.
"Hey, I'm not worried, I feel that the future of Huaxia Computer is almost gone!" Ni Guangnan sighed.
"Teacher, you don't need to tell us that we all understand that Liu Chuanzhi is such a bastard. He has fallen into the eyes of money and has no eyes at all. Such a person is not worthy of being the chairman or leading the entire Lenovo Group!
"
"What are you talking about?" Ni Guangnan frowned.
"Teacher, what I told you is the truth. That Liu Chuanzhi is not a good guy at all. Not only did he mess around with women outside, but he also misappropriated tens of millions of the company's assets!" Zhang Lu said.
"That's enough, don't say such unfounded words!" Ni Guangnan suddenly said angrily, "Liu Chuanzhi and I are just arguing over lines, but I trust Liu Chuanzhi's character. He is not the kind of person you say. Don't do it."
Slander him in this regard!"
"Teacher, I really didn't lie. If you don't believe me, look at this. When one of our junior students took a camera to take pictures, he saw Liu Chuanzhi holding a young woman's hand while looking at the scenery in the Summer Palace, and they even hugged each other.
Together, this is all proven by photos!" Zhang Lu took out a few developed photos from his pocket. Ni Guangnan took a look and found that the male protagonist in them was actually Liu Chuanzhi, and the female protagonist was a
A young woman who looks to be in her 20s, young and beautiful, dressed very hotly, with her entire thigh and arms exposed.
"No way!" Ni Guangnan was shocked when he saw these photos. In his impression, Liu Chuanzhi was not such a person.
"That's not all. Not long ago, there was a thunderstorm and fire in Sujiang Province, which caused the warehouse to burn down a large number of computers. Didn't the company lose a full 30 million yuan?"
"A relative of mine lives next to that warehouse. He told me personally that the warehouse he saw was not set on fire by lightning at all, but someone deliberately set fire to the warehouse. And the computer inside was not a new computer at all, but
A batch of old computers were moved in overnight, and these new computers just disappeared out of thin air."
"Teacher, did these computers go into Liu Chuanzhi's pocket, or did they go somewhere else? You must know that Sujiang is the territory of his most proud subordinate Yang Yuanqing. He, Liu Chuanzhi, also gives excellent awards to the teams in Sujiang Province every year.
Could it have nothing to do with Liu Chuanzhi?"
"Teacher, look, these are the list of computer serial numbers that I secretly asked the property to get. It contains the detailed serial numbers of these damaged computers. And this is the serial number of a computer that I found in the computer market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
One of those damaged computers, this is absolutely true evidence!" Zhang Lu said excitedly.
"Yeah, I never thought that Liu Chuanzhi really was this kind of person!" Looking at these solid evidences, coupled with the desire in his heart for Liu Chuanzhi to step down immediately, Ni Guangnan instinctively believed these words.
"Tell me, what should I do?" Ni Guangnan asked in a low voice.
"Teacher, let's report Liu Chuanzhi. Lenovo is not Liu Chuanzhi's Lenovo. Most of the shares are in the hands of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Science and Technology. As long as they say they want to change the chairman, Liu Chuanzhi will definitely not be able to continue.
"Teacher, you have so many friends above. As long as these evidences are handed over, Liu Chuanzhi will definitely be defeated!" Zhang Lu said.
"But, it's a bit immoral to do this..." Ni Guangnan still hesitated.
"Teacher, have you forgotten how Liu Chuanzhi got Song Hongbing into it? Although Song Hongbing was indeed a bit domineering in the company and did not give Liu Chuanzhi face, he was indeed the best performer in the company, and it was he who pioneered
Market across the country!”
"But because Sun Hongbing didn't listen to Liu Chuanzhi and even contradicted him, Liu Chuanzhi immediately fabricated evidence and sent it to the Public Security Bureau to report the case. Now Sun is still in the detention center and has been sentenced to a full five years in prison.
A prison sentence. He is such a smart and capable person, but won’t he be completely useless in five years?”
"Teacher, Liu Chuanzhi is the most ruthless person in the world. He can send his men to prison, why can't you report him? These are genuine evidence, and we have not framed him!" Zhang Lu said.
"Okay! Teacher understands!" Ni Guangnan nodded. Song Hongbing's experience finally made Ni Guangnan make up his mind. Besides, he didn't do this for himself. He didn't want money, and he didn't want power. He just wanted to gain a reputation and give China's computer
The chips are just fighting for breath.'
Liu Chuanzhi must step down, otherwise Lenovo will just be an assembly factory for the rest of his life!
[ps: Historically, Ni Guangnan did do this and reported Liu Chuanzhi, but the time was in early 1994. For the needs of the plot, it was moved up a year earlier. Just think of it as Jia Yapeng, a little butterfly flapping its wings.
