988 Tang Yi's Worry

"Ye Chen acquired a technology company called Elf!

Look at Ren Zhenfei.

Tang Yi frowned and said seriously.

"Hmm? Elf Company?

Ren Zhenfei thought quickly subconsciously.

But I can't remember anything related to this company.

In other words, he had never even heard of the company.

Tang Yi continued, "You may not have heard of this company, but you must have heard of its founder in his early years. He was the king of knockoff mobile phones that dominated Huaqiangbei back then.

-Wang Haiyang! Since the rise of smartphones, copycat phones have been completely eliminated by the times, and Wang Haiyang also disappeared from the public eye at that time. This Elf company was founded by him two years ago!

"You continue!

After hearing the name Wang Haiyang, Ren Zhenfei's expression changed slightly.

Although he didn't know about Elf Company, he knew about Wang Haiyang, who was once a big shot in Huaqiangbei.

"As far as I know, Jingling Company is the result of ten years of hard work for Wang Haiyang. Although Jingling Company was only established two years ago, Wang Haiyang has invested everything in this company. He even went around to raise funds before. However, it is said that because his ideas and ambitions were not recognized by a large number of investors, Jingling Company almost failed due to a complete lack of funds, until he met Ye Chen some time ago!"

Tang Yi continued, "If Elf Company is a company of other types, then no matter how Ye Chen acquires it, it has nothing to do with our Huawei. However, as far as I know, Wang Haiyang's ambition is to be the second Steve Jobs. The main research and development direction of Elf Company is smart electronic products, and at this stage it is mainly mobile phones! Although Elf Company has not yet launched any official products, I heard that Wang Haiyang has spent countless efforts in recent years to recruit many talents in the R&D industry with super high salaries. In addition, I also learned that Wang Haiyang has invested billions in Elf Company in recent years, and most of this money has been spent on R&D!" Hearing this.

Ren Zhenfei was moved.

My brows are getting tighter and tighter..

"Mr. Ren, after acquiring Elf, Ye Chen will become the chairman of Elf with an absolute controlling stake of 68%. At first glance, this has nothing to do with us. Moreover, Elf, which has not even launched its official products yet, will not threaten us. However, given that Elf's multiple businesses will conflict with Huawei, is it appropriate for Huawei to carry out supportive cooperation with Ye Chen in the semiconductor field?"

"I think we must start to face this problem squarely. If the cooperation agreement between Huawei and Ye Chen is equal, it would be fine. However, he proposed an unequal agreement that is almost insulting. Under the background of our full support, he refused to dilute the equity and refused to share scientific research results. He only agreed to provide priority supply rights and established such an unequal agreement. Now he has taken over the Elf Company with absolute control. Based on his massive move into semiconductors, it is not difficult to see that his ambition to acquire the Elf Company is definitely not small. If Huawei still agrees to his unequal cooperation agreement that is almost humiliating, I am afraid that he will be a wedding dress for others, and the Elf Company will become a strong rival of Huawei in certain businesses!"

As he spoke, Tang Yi became gradually excited.

At the same time, it can also be seen that, unlike the outside world's view of Ye Chen, Tang Yi obviously has a very high opinion of Ye Chen!

After all, Elf Company is currently just a "small company" that does not even have a formal product.

But in Tang Yi's eyes, because of Ye Chen's entry, this "small company" has become a potential threat to Huawei in the future!

This kind of mentality is entirely due to the further deepening of his understanding of Ye Chen.

Because he absolutely did not believe that a guy like Ye Chen, who was pretending to be a pig but was actually a tiger, would acquire the Elf Company on a whim!

"Are you worried that the Elf Company will develop rapidly under Ye Chen's ownership and become a strong rival of Huawei in certain businesses?"

Ren Zhenfei remained silent and said,

"Mr. Ren, this possibility is very high! Let me give you a brief introduction to Ye Chen's business sectors. Initially, he acquired a skin care company and renamed it Yiren Ruxue. Now, look at what level Yiren Ruxue has become. It has crushed many brands of the same category into bankruptcy or on the verge of bankruptcy! After that, he acquired Qianlong Game Company, which had been running around for financing but to no avail. Look at how Qianlong Game Company is doing now? Not only has it kicked Tencent Games off the altar of the industry's overlord, it has also taken away half of Tencent Games' market share! Then there is his Jianghu Hotpot. Before he acquired it, Jianghu Hotpot was just a small grassroots brand in the Pearl River Delta region, but after it was acquired by Ye Chen, what happened? It has already caused its competitor Haidilao to lose nearly 100 billion in market value. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before Haidilao will be completely crushed by it!"

"Although Ye Chen's industries also include Tenglong Real Estate, Thunder Express, Tenglong Pictures, Tenglong Semiconductor Technology, TL Chip Company, etc., and those industries have not yet officially taken shape, but to quote what you told me before, the other party is the kind of person who would make a big splash if he doesn't make a big splash. Similarly, he is now taking over and acquiring Jingling Company. If Jingling Company copies the success of Yiren Ruxue, Qianlong Games, and Jianghu Hotpot, then Huawei will be the first to be hit hard!"

"So, based on his past evil deeds, I am very worried. I am worried that this seemingly insignificant Elf Company will pose a serious threat to us in the future. Because if that happens, our opponent will not only be the Elf Company, but also Ye Chen, the guy you called an evildoer!"

Tang Yi quickly made his own analysis.

However, he forgot that the examples he cited were read to him by Ren Zhenfei before.

Little did he know that Ren Zhenfei said something that made him dumbfounded, "Do you think these issues should be considered by us?"

"Mr. Ren, what you said is..." Tang Yi said.

Ren Zhenfei shook his head, but his expression became more and more solemn. "What you are worried about is that once Huawei and Ye Chen's Tamron Semiconductor Technology and TL Chip Company start a supportive cooperation, it will bring disaster to itself. You are worried that Huawei will make wedding clothes for the other party! However, you forgot that it is Huawei that needs the cooperation of the other party, not the other party that needs our cooperation. Even if Huawei plays the role of full support, it can't get the initiative in the cooperation! So, even if Huawei doesn't cooperate with the other party, how much do you think it will change?"
