Chapter 279 Strategic Cooperation with Huawei (Leader Plus 8)

(I still owe the leader 2 change, monthly ticket 1 change)
The strategic partnership agreement signed between Boiling and Huawei involves all aspects of the information industry. The specific content is confidential, and only Fang Jie and Mr. Ren know the details.

In Fang Jie's words, the content of the agreement is "Heaven knows, the earth knows, you know and I know", everything is silent.

Mr. Ren's original words are: there is no need to be legally binding, as long as the two parties maintain a strategic understanding. I believe my little brother understands what I mean.

And this kind of strategic tacit understanding, to put it bluntly, is that Huawei climbs the technological tree, is responsible for technical support, builds cultural bridges, is responsible for external cultural export, and provides financial support to each other when necessary. In general, the two parties form a complementary strategic relationship in technology and culture.

To put it into practice, the first is the cooperation in the PHS business.

Huawei provides PHS technology, and Boiling provides channels, and directly finds a local foundry in Shencheng to produce related equipment. The two parties each invested 1000 million to establish "Shencheng Boiling Technology Co., Ltd.", which specializes in operating PHS business. Both parties hold 50% of the shares.

You can tell just by looking at the company name. This project is purely Huawei’s support project for Boiling, a little brother. I didn’t even bother to name it. The 1000 million was thrown in just for fun.

Originally, Ren always opposed Fang Jie's undertaking this project, because in his opinion, apart from making some short-term money, this project is actually meaningless, and it is a complete reversal of technology.

Later, Fang Jie explained that Boiling did this to make money, and the purpose of making money was not for enjoyment, but to accelerate the development of Boiling and lay the foundation for future take-off. Moreover, the investment in the project is not large, and it will not delay to make some money Normal development of boils.

Another reason is that the story of 51ka can be easily told only if the PHS hardware business is also established, so that more money can be raised, and more money can be raised in the listing, and then the money can be used to increase the intensity of feedback to Boiling, further Accelerates the development of the boil.

For a company like Huawei, there are advantages to not being listed, but there are gains and losses. No matter how hard you research and develop, relying on your skills to make honest money, it is not as fast as going public to make money.

The development of the country does need an industry like Huawei, which is the foundation, but our idea is, if we can go to foreign circles to spend money from Laomei, and use it back to develop the country's various industrial economies, wouldn't it be more refreshing?

An honest person has the style of an honest person. Although Fang Jie is rational, he is not an honest person. As long as it is money from foreigners, of course he can cheat as much as he can, and cheat as much as he can. Ok?

Mr. Ren has reservations about Fang Jie's idea, but he does not object. He thinks that the young people's way of life may not necessarily be a bad thing.

After all, whenever I see those Internet companies with no fixed assets, relying on a few concepts and stories, the market value of tens of billions of dollars immediately after listing, it is actually quite reconciled. Huawei has been developing for more than ten years, and its market value is still lower than that of Huawei. If you don't go to these companies, how can you justify it?
Perhaps because of this reluctance, or for pure investment considerations, Huawei also got involved in the 51ka financing project, expressing its willingness to spend 2000 million US dollars to participate in the A round of financing together with Tencent, and subscribe for 51% of 5ka shares.

Since they are all strategic partnerships, Fang Jie certainly doesn't mind bringing Huawei into the car to collect money together. This is some kind of strategic tacit understanding.

However, Huawei's participation also made Fang Jie realize that one should not treat the other more favorably. Should Telecom, China Mobile, and China Netcom be included in the money-making chariot?
After all, the cooperation between everyone has always been very pleasant. If 51ka wants to tell stories and make money, it will be inseparable from the continuous support of these three parties in the future.

So after returning to Jiangcheng, Fang Jie talked with these three parties about the financing of 51ka.

As a result, when the three parties heard this, they felt that this was a good thing. They had long wanted Zhao'an 51ka, and now that there is such an opportunity to collect money for free, of course they must seize it!

China Telecom and China Netcom must definitely join. They know how much profit 51ka can bring. Although China Mobile thinks that the PHS business is against them, they can't stop it, so they can only join.

And after joining, the three parties will also be shareholders of 51ka in the future, so there is no need to set up their own business. Not only that, but also to strongly support the development of 51ka!

The final agreement reached by the three parties is that Telecom Big Brother will invest USD 2000 million and take up 5% of the shares, and China Mobile and China Netcom will jointly invest 2000 million and take up 5% of the shares.

Therefore, the several financing parties in this round are Tencent, Huawei, China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Netcom. If you count the boiling, it is equivalent to sweeping out the giant suppliers of software, hardware, data, technology, and content services in the domestic communications industry. Tell a very wonderful story!

As for who to tell this story to, Fang Jie’s plan is to tell major domestic banks, venture capital, and securities firms during the B round of financing, and to overseas investment banks, underwriters, and market makers for the third round of financing, and then don’t The fourth round of financing is over, and a direct listing is a matter of course...

Of course, all of this will take time to operate, the fastest is 1 year, and the slowest is 2 or 3 years to complete the entire plan, and the premise is that the revenue level of 51ka keeps growing, otherwise everything is out of the question.

After running around all over the world, Fang Jie sold a small 51ka website for a sky-high price of 8000 million U.S. dollars by virtue of his three-inch tongue and the cognitive advantage of rebirth, and he only sold 20% of the shares.

Incidentally, Tencent is a joint subscription.

Pony and the others contributed 400 million privately, and MIH contributed 1600 million. They pooled together 2000 million dollars to get the 5% shares. MIH is very positive about this. It feels like they have picked up a big bargain. Definitely cost more.

If the financing agreement of US$8000 million was not formally signed, once the news is released, it will surely set off a shock in the domestic Internet industry.

This is much stronger than when MIH took a stake in Tencent, and the amount of financing is even larger, which has broken the historical record of financing for domestic Internet companies.

Let’s talk about the future, let’s talk about the strategic cooperation with Huawei.

In addition to PHS and 51ka financing, the two parties are carrying out comprehensive and in-depth cooperation.

For example, in terms of software programs, Huawei currently has more than 17000 employees, most of whom are software and hardware technicians. Randomly recruiting a few software engineers to work or communicate and cooperate with Boiling can bring huge changes to Boiling!
In terms of hardware, according to Fang Jie's suggestion, Mr. Ren strengthened the research and development investment in chips, mobile terminals, 3G/4G/5G/6G, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, driverless driving, etc., and also reciprocated by providing comprehensive hardware for Boiling Technical Support.

For example, servers, switches, communication equipment, etc., all supporting hardware in the IDC data center computer room, such as power distribution, refrigeration, cold processing cycle, monitoring and related technical services, etc., will now be replaced by Lenovo Group as a boiling supplier and service provider. And Huawei's offer is much cheaper than Lenovo's.

Then there are computer hardware accessories, such as hard drives, motherboards, graphics cards, memory, CPUs, etc., which are also directly purchased from Huawei.

There are foundries for these gadgets in Shencheng, and Huawei is familiar with this. If it can't be done, it will buy several hardware manufacturers and produce them by itself.

In the past, Huawei was mixed with IBM anyway. The reason why they did not enter the home PC market like Lenovo did was not that they lacked the ability, but simply looked down on them, just like they looked down on PHS technology. They did not learn from Lenovo to assemble the IWC brand. The computer is sold as a brand, but the installed computer is only treated as supporting hardware for the communication business.

Now that I heard that my little brother wants to build a diskless workstation, he needs to purchase a large amount of hardware, and 51ka will sell electronic hardware products in the future, so let's do it, it's just a matter of convenience.
