About this listen

, a Chinese entrepreneur who founded **BBK Electronics** and strategically split it into independent entities, notably **OPPO and Vivo**, which became leading global smartphone brands. The text describes how Duan overcame initial challenges in a struggling factory, achieved success with the Subor "learning computer," and then made the bold move to leave his billion-dollar venture to establish BBK, emphasizing employee ownership and internal competition through independent divisions. It details how OPPO and Vivo differentiated themselves through innovation, particularly in camera technology, and successfully expanded into international markets like India by **deeply localizing their strategies** rather than simply replicating their approach from China. The source also touches on Duan's subsequent retirement from daily operations to focus on investment, influenced by Warren Buffett, and highlights the continued success and growth of the companies he founded.
