#56 - Section: Patent Applications

Meanwhile, inside the Glory brand.

Zhao Liangyun lowered his head, constantly complaining about Huaxing Technology in his heart. Originally, his brand was targeting Xiaomi, but he didn't expect to accidentally bump into Huaxing Technology.

Shenzhen City, Huawei Headquarters Building

As the two major companies were on the verge of an unprecedented conflict, Huawei's senior management specially convened a strategic meeting to specifically study how Huawei should treat Huaxing in the future.

In a huge conference room at Huawei Headquarters, only twenty-odd people attended this meeting, including Old Man Ren.

Xu Wenwei, one of Huawei's core executives, said, "Huaxing Technology was established in May of 2012. Its predecessor was a mobile phone OEM factory. It hasn't even been three years since then. My research has found that this company's structure is very unique."

He paused and said, "No, it can't be said to be unique, but rather, unprecedented."

"Simply put, Huaxing Technology is a product sales company, with 7% of the shares held by the founder's family, 21% held by the management team, and 51% and 21% held by the two Huaxing Laboratories respectively."

"And the real core of this company is Huaxing No. 1 Laboratory, which on the surface belongs to Huaxing Technology, but is actually firmly controlled by Lu Haifeng."

"It can be said that all the technology of Huaxing Technology comes from these two laboratories. Moreover, I found through the patent website that in the past three years or so, the company's technical personnel have registered 21,341 new patent technologies under their names, all of which have been authorized to Huaxing No. 1 Laboratory."

As soon as Xu Wenwei's words fell, there was an uproar in the audience.

"What?"

"That's impossible!"

"President Xu, you must have misread it!"

"This is too outrageous. A laboratory that has been established for less than three years, how is this possible?"

Many Huawei executives exclaimed out of character, making a lot of noise. For a moment, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but show shocked expressions. Huawei has developed for nearly twenty years and only has more than 50,000 patents.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Xu Wenwei knocked on the table, looked at the more than 20 colleagues in the conference room, raised the documents in his hand, and said with a solemn expression on his face:

"Everyone, after I just learned about their patent registration numbers, my reaction was the same as yours, but unfortunately, after repeated verification, this number is real."

"Huaxing No. 1 Laboratory has applied for technology patents in major countries around the world, and they are basically core technology patents, including more than 5,000 related to semiconductor manufacturing and lithography technology, more than 7,000 related to integrated circuits, including instruction set architecture, processor chips, server chips, and the most important communication baseband, and more than 5,000 related to cloud computing technology, and the remaining patents cover all walks of life."

"Obviously, this laboratory has amazing research and development capabilities and has the most advanced international level in baseband chip design, processor chip design, cloud computing, etc."

Following Xu Wenwei's voice, the conference room became silent, but everyone was extremely solemn. Xu Wenwei continued:

"These patents are still on the surface. Anyone who is interested can find them, but the ones in the dark are the most terrifying. As long as there are technical problems, Lu Haifeng will recall technical personnel from overseas research institutions, bringing technology to join Huaxing No. 1 Laboratory. The experts who join the laboratory have at least more than a thousand of their own core patent technologies. Do you think it's scary?"

"So, this laboratory appeared very early, but no one found it. We also checked it out this time because of the conflict, so this laboratory is a bit interesting."

Another executive attending the meeting said, "Do you think it is a laboratory supported by overseas institutions? Lu Haifeng's Huaxing Technology has a lot of popularity, but this laboratory is very low-key. There are almost no reports about this laboratory in domestic and foreign news."

Xu Wenwei retorted, "That's impossible. Even if his No. 1 laboratory has top-notch technology, foreigners still can't get in. The reason why there is no news about this laboratory in domestic and foreign news is because they are low-key."

"People are single-mindedly doing research and development in a low-key manner, and the products are fruitful, and they are also key technologies. Even if you report it, you have to be able to publish it, as long as that network master is still sitting there."

As soon as this remark came out, all the senior executives in the conference room nodded silently, because there is a saying circulating in the outside world that they would rather invade the Pentagon of the beautiful country than invade the headquarters of Huaxing Technology, which can show how powerful Huaxing Technology's network security is.

Although Lu Haifeng has only released a few products, they know him very well. Now he has a huge influence in the mobile phone industry, especially in the technology circle, he is a well-known rising star.

Huawei is an international communications giant rooted in China, mixing in the technology circle, and is a company that will never be listed. Huaxing Technology is also mixing in the technology circle.

As a domestic communications giant, Huawei itself also has mobile phone business and also has semiconductor business, which leads to overlap between the two businesses, which is already considered a friendly business in the industry. It is not surprising that Huawei pays excessive attention to Huaxing Technology.

It's just that they didn't expect that this rising star in the technology circle would also explode with such remarkable energy in the fields of integrated circuits, semiconductors, lithography machines, and cloud computing. The current news is only spreading within the industry, and it has already surprised all Huawei executives.

At this time, Old Man Ren smiled amiably and said, "Lu Haifeng is very interesting. The day before yesterday, when I went to see Minister Ye, I talked about him. The higher-ups are very satisfied with him. After the meeting, I asked people to conduct an investigation on him and found that although this kid is young, he does have a heart to strengthen the country with science and technology. This can be seen from the fact that he puts the core technology in Huaxing No. 1 Laboratory, without any other thoughts."

"Also, he has taken a lot of land in Piaocheng. I asked someone to estimate that it would take no less than 100 billion US dollars to complete these constructions. He has now completed and put into use only the OEM factory and the first phase of the data center. The semiconductor factory building has been built, but it has not been put into production. He also applied to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for a loan of 100 billion and 100 square kilometers of commercial land some time ago."
