In Zhao Xianliang's view, if you can become a national business card in the commercial field, you can become the uncrowned king of the national commercial field.
It is said to be a national business card, but it cannot be decided by the country, nor is it promulgated or formulated by the state. It is a common recognition from the whole country and even the world. Only when it is recognized by the world can it become a recognized national business card.
In a previous life, China had so many Fortune 500 companies, but in Li Mu's view, there were no entrepreneurs who could truly be called national business cards; there were products that could truly be called national business cards, and high-speed rail was one of them. .
Although Zhao Xianliang does not know the future development and pattern, he is very optimistic about Li Mu and Makino Technology becoming a national business card. However, he also knows the difficulties involved, so he and Li Mu summarized several detailed goals together:
The first step is to make YY into a world-class software;
The second step is to launch more world-class products;
The third step is to increase the exposure of Li Mu himself and Makino Technology in the world media as much as possible;
The fourth step is to build Makino Technology into a world-class Internet company;
The fifth step is not only to make everyone think of Li Mu and Makino Technology first when they think of Chinese Internet companies, but also to make everyone think of Li Mu and Makino Technology first when they think of Chinese Internet companies.
When these five steps are achieved, Li Mu and Makino Technology will naturally become a national business card recognized by the world. This honor will be the lifelong dream of countless entrepreneurs and the Mount Everest of their dreams. But right now, Li Mu is far away from this The closest Mount Everest.
Zhao Xianliang inspired Li Mu a lot, and Li Mu felt from the bottom of his heart that Zhao Xianliang was a rare and good teacher. His life experience was much richer than his own. He looked at problems like aerial photography and could give him a perspective that he did not have. , and it is a perspective that can make people suddenly enlightened.
After finishing this conversation, Zhao Xianliang suddenly remembered something and said to Li Mu, "By the way, I heard that you helped the Yanjing Municipal Bureau solve a big case a few days ago?"
Li Mu said in surprise: "You know all this?"
Zhao Xianliang smiled and said: "Minister Chen is also very concerned about you. When this case was reported to the department, he already knew about it, and not only did he know about it, but even the senior leaders knew about it."
Li Mu was a little surprised and said: "It spread so quickly?"
Zhao Xianliang smiled slightly and said calmly: "No one has secrets in front of the country."
Li Mu's heart trembled. He knew that what Zhao Xianliang said was right. In theory, no one has secrets in front of the country, but he had the most incredible secret in the world buried in his heart, so Zhao Xianliang's words made him even more alert.
Zhao Xianliang did not notice anything strange about Li Mu, but asked him with interest: "I heard from Minister Chen that you are planning to build a Skynet system for city security?"
Li Mu nodded and said with no trace of surprise in his tone: "You even know this..."
Zhao Xianliang smiled and said: "Actually, how did you help the city bureau solve the case? These details can only make everyone admire it, but what can only really attract the attention of senior officials is the Skynet system."
With that said, Zhao Xianliang asked Li Mu: "When are you going to implement this idea?"
Li Mu said: "Come on, I have asked the technical master of Makino Technology to lead the team to start work on the software; on the hardware, I asked one of my vice presidents to find some suitable hardware manufacturers across the country, and then select the ones that are suitable. Just accept it directly."
Zhao Xianliang said: "Let me recommend a company to you. It will definitely suit your needs."
Li Mu said hurriedly: "Uncle Zhao, please tell me."
Zhao Xianliang asked him: "Have you heard of Hikvision?"
Li Mu frowned: "I think I've heard of it, but I don't think I have, but it sounds familiar..."
Li Mu was sure that he had heard of this name, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it, let alone the company related to these four words.
Zhao Xianliang smiled calmly: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. This company was just established last year. The company is not big, with only 20 or 30 people. The company is in Hangzhou, and one of my high school classmates works in this company. Vice President.”
Li Mu asked him in surprise: "Is this company a surveillance equipment manufacturer?"
"More than that." Zhao Xianliang explained: "Did you know that in the past, our national ministries and commissions in China had a unit called the Department of Mechanical and Electronics?"
Li Mu nodded: "I think I heard my dad say that there used to be too many national ministries and commissions, but later they were withdrawn and demolished. Even the Ministry of Coal Industry was withdrawn."
"Yes." Zhao Xianliang said: "The Mechanical and Electronic Department was later split into the Mechanical Department and the Electronic Department. There are many affiliated research institutes under the Electronic Department. Among them, the 52nd Research Institute is in Hangzhou and was moved there in 1984. My high school classmate returned from studying abroad in 1988 and entered 52 universities. Later, because the disconnect between research institutes and the market was so severe, scientific research institutes across the country were restructured to allow scientific researchers to enter the market, develop technology projects on their own, and generate income on their own. Lenovo’s Boss Liu also comes from the same background, and these 52 institutes established Hikvision Digital Technology Company."
Li Mu asked: "Hikvision's market positioning is surveillance equipment?"
"Yes." Zhao Xianliang said: "My high school classmate told me that the reason why Hikvision positioned the surveillance equipment was because they had some experience in video when they were in the 52nd Institute, but now It seems to be quite difficult. There is not much market space, insufficient R&D funds, and basically zero promotion expenses, so it is not easy to develop quickly.”
Li Mu asked him in shock: "Hikvision was born out of a national research institute? So it should be filled with high-end scientific research talents, right?"
Zhao Xianliang nodded and said: "I don't know what other research institutes are like, but Institute 52 is really extraordinary. It is researching computers. It has a group of very powerful computer talents. This time, Hikvision has almost thirty All scientific researchers left the enterprise establishment and came out."
Li Mu was a little puzzled. A technology company that was born out of a state-owned research institute had dozens of scientific researchers and the technical reserves of the original state-owned research institute. The technical strength of this company must be very powerful. Logically speaking, such a company In my previous life, I should have an impression. Even if I have never been exposed to the surveillance equipment industry, I have heard about some of the more powerful companies in the industry. Could it be that Hikvision was poorly managed in my previous life and collapsed early
It shouldn’t be!
The more Li Mu thought about it, the more he felt it shouldn't be!
If a group of people with strong bureaucracy set out to start a business, they may not be able to succeed. However, if a group of technicians with real talents and knowledge set out to start a business, and they are engaged in the research and development field, it stands to reason that they are less likely to fail. These people need to be skilled and skilled. If you have to be ingenious and have ingenuity, even if you don't achieve great success, you can still achieve small success.
So, Li Mu tentatively asked Zhao Xianliang: "Uncle Zhao, do you know the logo or English name of this company? I want to see if I have seen it somewhere. The more I listen to you, the more I feel like I have heard it somewhere. .”
Zhao Xianliang smiled and said, "Let me ask you."
After speaking, Zhao Xianliang picked up his phone and sent a text message.
Dozens of seconds later, Zhao Xianliang's phone rang. Then he handed the phone to Li Mu and said, "This is it, take a look."
Li Mu took the phone and looked at it. There was a line of subtitles written on the text message: "HIKVISION"
Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered where he had heard of this brand!
When she was working in Yanjing, a female friend bought a bull terrier. In order to be able to see what her dog was doing in real time while at work, she asked Li Mu, an IT professional, to help her choose a set of smart home monitoring equipment. Li Mu Although I work in IT, I don’t know much about smart homes and monitoring equipment. I asked a friend about it, and he recommended a smart surveillance camera that can be connected to a mobile phone. At that time, he said that it was a smart camera produced by Hikvision. Regarding home equipment, Hikvision is the world’s largest supplier of video surveillance solutions, which is very impressive.
Li Mu thought it was the largest in the world and must be awesome, so he asked a friend for a link to the device. At that time, he directly forwarded the link to the female friend. However, after the female friend purchased it, she found that she did not know how to install and debug it, so she asked Li Mu to come to help with the installation. At that time, Li Mu remembered the logo of HIKVISION, but he didn't expect it to be the company Zhao Xianliang was talking about!
In this way, this company called Hikvision will become the world's largest video surveillance company in the next few years. This is so awesome. Not to mention foreign markets, China alone has a population of 1.3 billion , with a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, the demand in the surveillance field must be astonishingly large. Hikvision can be the first in the entire security surveillance market, which proves that it must be the best in this industry in China. There is no better team than any other.
Li Mu, who firmly believes in putting people first, is almost overwhelmed with excitement at this moment. This is really his biggest gain from visiting Zhao Xianliang's home today! A technology company composed entirely of researchers from the National Research Institute is simply an all-star lineup in the NBA!
When he thought of this, Li Mu couldn't wait to pack up this team and the entire company and take it into his own right away.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Mu asked Zhao Xianliang tentatively: "Uncle Zhao, this Hikvision is a company established separately from the state-owned research institute. If I want to acquire it, can they sell it?"
Zhao Xianliang laughed: "Of course! Why do they start a business? It's because the state has insufficient funds and projects, and it can no longer survive relying on the planned economy, so it has to start a business. What is the purpose of starting a business? Isn't it just to make money? As long as the price is right, I think both the scientific researchers who have left the establishment and the institute itself will be happy to sell the company."
Li Mu nodded: "That's great, Uncle Zhao, why don't you help me make an appointment with your high school classmate and ask him to come to Yanjing and let's talk?"
