Chapter 426 Entering the Mobile Phone Industry

Since the development of the origin operating system, Lin Rui has made plans to enter the mobile phone industry.

To enter this industry, in addition to capital, the most important thing is talent, high-end talent in the mobile phone industry.

In recent months, he has been looking for talents in this area through major headhunting companies.

The first-tier mobile phone manufacturers represented by China Kulian, and the second- and third-tier mobile phone manufacturers represented by Tianyu, Bird, Gionee... are all one of the targets of this poaching.

There is another gathering place for mobile phone talents in China, the R&D centers of traditional mobile phone giants headed by Nokia and Motorola.

Although these giants have fallen, it is mainly a strategic issue.The talents gathered over the years cannot be underestimated.

With the rise of smartphones, the traditional mobile phone industry giants led by Nokia and Motorola have laid off employees and closed down their major R&D centers and branches in China, causing a large number of talents to flow to the market.

Some time ago, Motorola closed the Nanjing R&D center, and there was a lot of news, which was uploaded on the Internet, and even Lin Rui paid attention to it.

On August 22 this year, due to the severe setback in the mobile phone business, Motorola, which is in full swing, launched a major layoff around the world.

Motorola headquarters decided to retain three R&D centers around the world, and BJ is the only R&D center remaining in China.

When the layoffs went to Nanjing, the local employees knew that Nanjing would be positioned as a market maintenance department in the future, and all R&D centers would be laid off.

Now it's frying pan.

Many employees of Motorola Nanjing R&D Center couldn't accept the ruthless layoffs to the extent that none of them remained. Many employees of Motorola Nanjing R&D Center held up banners to protest the brutal layoffs.

At about 10 a.m. that day, more than 400 R&D personnel of "Nanmo" pulled up a white banner reading "Defend Nanmo's home to the death" at the entrance of the company to protest.

For a while, this matter was uploaded on the Internet.

It is very funny that Motorola executives rushed to Nanjing at that time to appease the laid-off employees and conduct one-on-one consultations with them.

But, not long after, the Motorola executive was also laid off.

Subsequently, Motorola officially closed the Nanjing R & D center.

This is just a microcosm of Motorola layoffs.

Motorola entered China in [-] and established its first R&D center in China in [-]. At its peak, Motorola had a total of [-] R&D centers in China, distributed in major cities across the country.

In this layoff, there are only three R&D centers in the world and only one in China, which means that [-] R&D centers in China have been cut off at once.

What a big move it will be and how many people it will affect.

How many talents in the mobile phone industry have flowed into the market.

Not only Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson... and a large number of foreign mobile phone brands, but also major business and R&D centers in China have all entered into a large-scale downsizing and layoffs this year, and many high-end talents in the mobile phone industry have flowed into the market.

Many second- and third-tier mobile phone brands in China have also been hit hard, and many of them have been caught in a wave of layoffs.

For these laid-off employees, this is of course not a good thing; for Lin Rui or a rookie in the domestic mobile phone industry, this is a major benefit.

This means that a large number of talents in the mobile phone industry are forced to flow to the market.

Lin Rui has been working on this aspect since a few months ago.In the name of Xingkong Technology Group, it cooperates with major headhunting companies to recruit and excavate these talents who are flowing into the market. At present, a large number of talents have been gathered.

Some time ago, he sent Xu Zhe to Shanghai to start preparations for the first mobile phone research and development center under the group company.

Now, all preparations are completed, and finally officially listed and established.

On the 22nd, Lin Rui, who had just rushed to Shanghai, made a public appearance in order to show his importance, and cut the ribbon for the newly established mobile phone research and development center, which attracted a lot of attention.

Some domestic mobile phone manufacturers are even shouting wolf!

Not only that.

The next day, under the Star Control Technology Group, a subsidiary called Star Technology was suddenly registered, and its business scope included mobile phones.

The mobile phone research and development center in Modu was transferred to Star Technology Corporation.The subsidiary Star Technology will be mainly responsible for the mobile phone business in the future.

This is just the first step. According to the plan, in the next six months, Star Technology will set up five R&D centers in Imperial Capital, Jiangcheng, Silicon Valley, Japan, and Europe.

Gradually form a pattern of Star Technology Headquarters and six R&D centers around the world.

To this end, Lin Rui injected 30 billion yuan into the newly established Star Technology Company at one time as the company's start-up capital.

It also cooperates with major headhunters to launch a recruitment plan around the world.

Strive to establish the company's structure and six global R&D centers as soon as possible.

……

Attending the inauguration ceremony of the mobile phone research and development center, Lin Rui was not idle for the next few days.First, I visited the Weiyang Technology Shanghai R&D Center to learn about the development progress of the operating system, so that I knew it well.

Overall, not bad, even exceeded his expectations.

Then he visited Microchip's R&D center in Shanghai.

Before being acquired, Spreadtrum and Direc were both local companies in Shanghai.After the acquisition, the Modu R&D Center has also become the largest R&D center of Microchip.

After such a long period of integration, Spreadtrum and DIREC have gradually integrated into Microchip's system, major R&D centers around the world have also been established, and the total number of employees in the company has exceeded [-].

It is not far from the expansion goal of 8000 people.

In addition to these two R&D centers, Huizhong Magic City branch and logistics storage center are also the focus of this inspection.

After the wave of drainage and promotion by Lin Rui last month, coupled with the recent exchange of porcelain with JD.com, the popularity has continued, and the sales of Huizhong Mall have also been rising steadily.

Up to now, the daily sales volume of the whole platform has exceeded 5000 million, and the growth rate is extremely fast.

According to Lin Rui's estimate, by the end of the year, the daily sales will exceed [-] million.

Although there is still a big gap with Ali Jingdong, you can’t eat a fat man with one bite.It was beyond Lin Rui's expectation to develop so well in such a short period of time.

He inspected the Mordu branch of Huizhong Mall, and he was quite satisfied with everything he did.

The only headache is that the staff grows too fast.

In just a short time, the total number of employees of Huizhong Magic City branch has exceeded [-], ranking first among Huizhong's branches in major cities in China.

In fact, this is quite normal. As an international metropolis with a permanent population of over 2000 million and the economic center of the country, there is no doubt that there is a large group of middle-class people who demand authentic products and a good shopping experience.

Huizhong is precisely to meet their needs.

This makes Modu the city with the most sales in Huizhong Mall.

Not only the Shanghai stock market, Huizhong's major branches across the country, as well as its warehousing, logistics, and express delivery, have been expanding their enrollment on a large scale recently.

According to the data from Los Angeles, the total number of employees in Huizhong Mall has reached 6000, an astonishing increase.

However, according to the estimate of the human resources department, the 6000 people are just the beginning. With the development of Huizhong Mall, if customers want to sink to the county level, the logistics and sales network will be gradually completed.

Then, in the next year, Huizhong Mall needs to recruit at least 3 people.

If you want to build an e-commerce platform with a logistics network covering the whole country, 5 people are just the beginning.

As the sales volume of Huizhong Mall increases, the size of the company will also expand accordingly.Want to establish a complete logistics and sales system to meet the company's expansion needs.

Then, the number of employees may eventually reach hundreds of thousands.

It's kind of scary to think about it.

However, if you are a direct e-commerce company and want to maintain good service, it is inevitable to build your own logistics and distribution team.

In this regard, we can only take one step at a time. I hope that in the future, we can break even and the company's profitability can support so many employees.

After inspecting Huizhong Mall, Lin Rui then inspected the Blue Shield Security Modu branch.

Since its establishment more than half a year ago, Blue Shield Security has achieved remarkable results and quickly gained a reputation in China. It has now become a well-known security company in China.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from Lin Rui.

At present, the domestic security market is relatively chaotic, with various large and small security companies and private bodyguard companies everywhere.

If you really want to calculate it strictly, more than 80.00% do not meet the standards.

There is no domestic security company that is well-known and out of the circle like Blackwater in the United States, and most of them are only famous in small circles.

For many companies and individuals with security needs, Li Kui and Li Gui are easily confused.

When encountering those security companies with incomplete qualifications and no real name, they can only admit that they are unlucky.

This exacerbated the customer's distrust of security companies.

When these customers hire security companies, they want peace of mind and more protection. Even if something goes wrong, they hope that the security company has the strength to bear the loss.

However, at present, the domestic security industry does not have that kind of powerful industry giant.The top security companies in the country have total assets of just over one billion.

It sounds a lot, but compared with those top security companies abroad, it is really nothing, just a fraction.

Not to mention comparing with foreign countries, even Blue Shield Security can't compare with them.

Lin Rui has injected 50 million U.S. dollars into Blue Shield twice, which is [-] billion yuan in RMB.

In terms of assets, Blue Shield Security is already the largest security company in China.

However, after all, it has not been established for a long time, and its background is still almost there. This requires time to settle.However, he believes that day will come soon.

The chaotic environment of the domestic security industry, coupled with the inability to provide customers with a safe guarantee, has become an opportunity for Blue Shield Security.

First of all, Blue Shield Security has enough registered capital, and its financial strength is absolutely unique in the domestic security industry, which is more than the sum of the top security companies.

Such a large asset scale makes customers more at ease.

Furthermore, Blue Shield Security is not the kind of independent security company that needs to be responsible for its own profits and losses and cannot afford too much risk.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingkong Technology Group, Blue Shield Security has a strong backing and has a great risk tolerance.

When customers ask for security, they want peace of mind. If something goes wrong, the security company must be able to take responsibility.

If you really want to entrust your valuables to those security companies with low assets, if something goes wrong, you can't afford to sell the security company, so who can rest assured.

Compared with other domestic security companies, Blue Shield Security has unique advantages in this respect, and it is easier to arouse the trust of customers.

In addition, Lin Rui, who is the richest man in China and the third richest man in the world.

From the perspective of equity relationship, Blue Shield Security is undoubtedly wholly owned by him.This relationship, on the other hand, strengthened the credibility of Blue Shield Security.

The combination of various factors has made the newly established Blue Shield Security very popular in China.

At present, the Blue Shield Security Modu Branch has not only provided one-on-one bodyguard and special guard services, but has even received many escort missions.

All kinds of banknotes, jewelry, precious metals... and some expensive large-scale precision instruments, this type of security escort missions are flocking to Blue Shield security.

All of a sudden, Blue Shield Security was flourishing and became one of the top security companies in China.

After inspecting the branch of Blue Shield Security in Shanghai, Lin Rui's schedule in Shanghai is also nearing completion.

Finally I was able to spare time to play well for two days and be with Ye Zhen.

After graduation, Ye Zhen stayed at home for a while, and returned to Shanghai in early August to work in the Huadu design company where she practiced.

Although he has that relationship with Lin Rui, he lives in a luxury house, drives a luxury car worth more than 500 million yuan, and has no worries about food and clothing.

However, she still wants to realize her own value and not let what she has learned in the past few years go to waste.

Huadu Design Company, as a well-known design company in Shanghai, is very famous in the circle.With her own ability, Ye Zhen is very happy to come here for an internship and become a regular employee.

No, she returned to the Shanghai stock market that day, came to Huadu Design Company to report, and was suddenly informed of a piece of news.

The company just accepted an investment, and she was directly appointed as the executive director of the company.

Ye Hao was dazed for a while, and then learned from Lin Rui that Xingkong Technology Group invested 30.00 million in Huadu Design Company, holding [-]% of the shares, and became the company's major shareholder.

Ye Zhen is the person who exercises these shares on behalf of the company.

This made Ye Zhen both pleasantly surprised and sweet. Lin Rui willing to do this, investing in such an industry that has nothing to do with him, must be for her, and she has her in his heart.

Naturally, she would not be hypocritical with this kindness, and the convenience brought by the title made her extremely satisfied.

As the company's decision-making layer, executive directors are divided into full-time executive directors and part-time executive directors. Ye Zhen is undoubtedly the part-time executive director.

She has a dual role in the company: one is as a director, in addition to participating in the board of directors' business decision-making, she is also responsible for supervising the execution of the company's business, including the president, within the scope of her supervision.

The second is that besides being a director, she also has a specific position. The executive directors of many companies generally hold senior management positions in the company, such as general manager, deputy general manager, or director of various departments.

Although Ye Zhen is a newcomer, she is also a high-level executive in the company. It is quite easy to become a department director.

However, she knew that she was a newcomer, and although she had talent, it was far from enough, and she couldn't convince the crowd at all.

Therefore, he decided to settle for the next best thing, and in addition to the position of executive director, he also took the position of deputy director of the design department.

Now everyone is happy, the company is satisfied, and Ye Zhen is also satisfied.

As the representative of major shareholders and the company's top management, Ye Zhen also has sufficient space and resources to realize her own ambitions and create her own life value.

After paying Ye Zhen a few days in Shanghai, Lin Rui returned to Los Angeles.
