#378 - Chang Cheng

Lu Haifeng was meeting a talent recommended by Liu Jianyu in the reception room.

With the continuous development and expansion of Huaxing Technology, the demand for talent is also increasing.

Lu Haifeng said to the person sitting across from him, "Mr. Chang, I didn't expect to see you again!"

A middle-aged man was sitting opposite Lu Haifeng in the reception room, and Lu Haifeng was very excited about this person's arrival.

After all, the middle-aged man in front of him has very rich experience in the mobile phone market.

Moreover, he also has a very good quality, which is exactly the kind of spirit that Huaxing Technology needs most.

A spirit of daring to fight, taking life and death lightly, and fighting if you don't agree!

"President Lu, long time no see!"

Lu Haifeng had met him a few times a few years ago, when Huaxing Technology had just started!

After sitting down, Lu Haifeng asked with a smile, "Mr. Chang, what do you think of the development of Huaxing Technology?"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "I am very optimistic about the development of your company. In my opinion, your company has unlimited potential!"

The middle-aged man always had a calm smile on his face, and it was obvious that he had already prepared to join Huaxing Technology this time.

In his eyes, Huaxing Technology already has the potential to develop into an international mobile phone manufacturer.

Even if he was asked to choose a domestic company that could rival Samsung and Apple in the future, he would definitely choose Huaxing Technology.

And this middle-aged man is Chang Cheng, the former head of Lenovo's mobile phone business unit.

When Chang Cheng was at Lenovo, he was in charge of Lenovo's mobile phone business unit for three or four years. It can be said that he is a veteran who has been in the mobile phone market for many years.

Although Lenovo's mobile phone did not maintain its original position as one of the "Coolpad" under his management, but gradually fell into the ranks of second- and third-tier manufacturers.

However, Lu Haifeng had to say that Chang Cheng was also a very capable person, and he could only sigh at the injustice of the world.

In the beginning, "Coolpad" can be said to have a very strong foundation and very strong capital.

As long as a real strategic goal could have been established at the beginning, it would still have a very strong advantage in the mobile phone market.

However, among these four companies with very strong foundations, only Huawei truly maintained its position and strongly secured its position in the domestic mobile phone market.

This is of course also related to the different strategic goals implemented by these four mobile phone manufacturers.

After seeing the increasing competition in the mobile phone market, Huawei gradually realized that relying solely on cooperation with operators would not be able to maintain its mobile phone business.

So, under this circumstance, Yu Dazui, with the permission of Ren Zhengfei, established the consumer business department.

Yu Dazui personally took the lead in focusing on mobile phone quality, striving to make better mobile phones to gain consumer recognition and get rid of the sales channels of operators.

The other three mobile phone manufacturers did not dare to break through themselves like Huawei, and still followed the concept of relying on operators for food, and were eventually defeated by other mobile phone manufacturers.

Chang Cheng also discovered this problem at the beginning, so when Huawei was reforming, Chang Cheng proposed to the group's senior management to carry out Huawei's reform.

However, Lenovo's senior management at the time did not agree with Chang Cheng's proposal. After all, Lenovo's development direction was still in computers.

For mobile phones, they felt that relying on operators was a guaranteed profit-making business, and there was no need to compete with these small manufacturers for the market.

In this way, Lenovo's mobile phones became worse and worse, and were eventually gradually abandoned by consumers.

When Lenovo Group's senior management discovered this situation, they wanted to change it but found that it was too late.

Because the current mobile phone market share has been swallowed up by other manufacturers, and at this time, without any technology, they have no chance to counterattack again.

After the final discussion and decision, Lenovo Group's senior management locked all the main development directions on computers.

For Lenovo's mobile phone business, they directly chose to develop it in a self-sufficient manner.

Now, although Lenovo's mobile phone business unit still exists, it is already in name only. The most uncomfortable person in this is Chang Cheng, the head of Lenovo's mobile phone business unit.

After Chang Cheng received Liu Jianyu's invitation, he submitted his resignation letter to Lenovo at this year's annual meeting, and finally broke up with Lenovo peacefully.

The day after leaving Lenovo, he contacted Liu Jianyu and said that he wanted to meet Lu Haifeng, the head of Huaxing Technology.

In Chang Cheng's mind, if he wants to truly realize his life value, choosing to join Huaxing Technology is a good choice.

After Lu Haifeng and Chang Cheng chatted for half an hour, Lu Haifeng asked Chang Cheng, "Mr. Chang, you have been in the mobile phone market for so many years, what do you think of our Hongmeng S series mobile phones?"

Lu Haifeng still cares about Chang Cheng, because in his opinion, Chang Cheng can be competent as the head of the Hongmeng S series and make this series bigger and stronger.

Chang Cheng's ability is not inferior to Liu Jianyu's at all, it's just that he hasn't found a stage where he can fully display his talents.

Chang Cheng understood that this was Lu Haifeng's test of his ability when he heard Lu Haifeng's question.

After thinking for a while, Chang Cheng said, "Hongmeng S series, I think its development potential can be said to be very huge!"

"First of all, the positioning of Hongmeng S series mobile phones is cost performance!"

"And this cost performance can be said to have different distinctions. You can talk about cost performance from hundred-yuan phones, and you can also talk about cost performance from flagship phones!"

"Currently, the company has the Hongmeng X series, which focuses on high-end flagship models. In order to make the company's products sell better, the Hongmeng S series still needs to give way to the Hongmeng X series in terms of flagship products!"

Since Liu Jianyu invited him to join Huaxing Technology, Chang Cheng has made a lot of preparations after coming out of Lenovo.

Now Chang Cheng has a very deep understanding of Huaxing Technology's mobile phone business, and he also has a certain guess about the future development direction of Huaxing Technology.

Lu Haifeng listened to Chang Cheng's words and agreed with what he said.

The development direction of the Hongmeng S series is indeed a bit similar to what Chang Cheng said.

After listening to Chang Cheng's words, Lu Haifeng asked, "If you were in charge of the independent Hongmeng S series, what would you do in the first step?"

Now Lu Haifeng has decided in his heart to let Chang Cheng try the position of the head of the Hongmeng S series.

Because in his opinion, the position of the Hongmeng S series is more important than the Hongmeng X series, which occupies the high-end flagship market.

After all, the Hongmeng X series faces high-end consumer groups, and the number of these people is not very large.

The consumer level covered by the Hongmeng S series will be very wide, and will basically cover most of the users of their company.
