Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

He Jianye thought for a while and then replied: "Company A will have certain advantages in the configuration of storage hard drives and monitors because it imports mature foreign parts. Company B will have certain disadvantages in terms of the quality of its self-developed parts..."

Yang Mo nodded and said: Yes, not only that, because Company A does not need to invest in research and development expenses and can absorb the high prices of imported parts. Under the circumstances, Company A's products will be more competitive and focus on Self-developed B companies will gradually occupy market share and be slowly eliminated. Eventually, bad money will drive out good money, turning the entire country's PC industry chain into OEM companies, with all key technologies in the hands of Western companies. The entire high-end While the technology industry has lost its innovation and R&D capabilities, it has also created a herd effect, making most companies feel that manufacturing is worse than buying, and R&D is worse than using..."

He Jianye suddenly felt a chill on his back. Although what Yang Mo said was a bit exaggerated, it made sense if he thought about it carefully. In recent years, Lenovo has actively given up on the research and development of hard drives and monitors, and through assembly and production, it has gradually smoothed over the competition with Great Wall Computer. This year, it has even begun to overtake the Great Wall, grabbing more government purchase orders...

"I will sort out what you said and submit it. After I have the results, I will notify you as soon as possible. Have you done a specific assessment? If the country subsidizes an average of 500 yuan per computer, it will probably be able to drive How much sales volume? Through these surges in sales volume, how much can you control the sales price of computers?" After He Jianye thought for a while, he asked the core question. He needed an accurate evaluation report to convince his supervisor to come. Through this "affordable computer plan" that sounds a bit shocking...

Yang Mo thought for a while and said: "It still depends on the preparation! Nowadays, the prices of well-prepared brand machines are almost more than 6000 yuan, and the low-to-mid-range assembled machines are also between 7500-6000. We strive to launch a model with a price of [-] Brand-name smartphones priced below RMB [-]..."

He Jianye smiled bitterly and said: "6000 yuan is a year's salary for many people. At this price, it is difficult for computers to enter the homes of ordinary people. There are also Internet charges, which are difficult for ordinary families to afford!"

"How are Internet charges calculated now? Is there a unified standard?" Yang Mo asked.

He Jianye shook his head: "Charging standards are similar in various places. For Yanjing, Internet access charges are relatively low in the country. The charges after adjustment this year are; telephone charges are 0.22 yuan/3 minutes, and Internet access charges are no more than 60 hours per month. , calculated at 4 yuan/hour; for the portion exceeding 60 hours, calculated at 8 yuan/hour!”

Yang Mo nodded: "This price is indeed unaffordable for ordinary families! The Ministry of Electronics Industry should coordinate with the telecommunications department to reduce Internet access charges, otherwise it will be difficult for the Internet to develop!"

He Jianye shook his head: "The telecommunications sector is also in trouble! Upgrading and expanding telecommunications infrastructure requires a lot of financial support. Mr. Yang, as you know, there are only a few communication equipment suppliers in the world such as Cisco, Nokia, and Siemens. The prices are high. Ridiculous, the fees are too low to recover the investment!”

Yang Mo had to admit that for the Ministry of Electronics Industry, this was almost a dead end that was difficult to solve. Several European and American multinational communication equipment suppliers had almost monopolized the global communication equipment market.

In order to recoup expensive equipment procurement costs, the telecommunications department has to set communication tariffs very high. High telephone and Internet tariffs hinder the popularization of telephones, mobile phones and the Internet. With insufficient new users, tariffs will be difficult to reduce. Come down...

"Is there any domestic company that can produce communication equipment?" Yang Mo asked after pondering for a long time.

He Jianye nodded: "There is really such a company in China that can produce program-controlled switches. CC08 switches have occupied a lot of domestic market share. Last year's sales revenue exceeded 15 billion yuan!"

"Are you talking about Huawei?" Yang Mo asked in surprise.

Over the years, Zhiyuan Group has been unwilling to touch the domestic communications equipment industry, which has the highest profit margins. Especially when it already controls Cisco, it still refuses to enter the mainland market on a large scale. This makes Luo Binghui, who is in charge of mainland business, very puzzled.

Yang Mo has always had the biggest problem in his heart. He is afraid that Zhiyuan's rash break into the field of communication equipment will destroy the growth environment of a great company and nip him in the bud!

Sometimes, he even feels that that great company is just like Zhiyuan Group, and the founder is also a time traveler from the future world...

"Yes, this is also the only communication equipment supplier in China that can compete with foreign communication equipment giants. Although Lenovo also has a program-controlled switch business, its core technology comes from abroad..." He Jianye explained.

Yang Mo thought for a long time and finally made up his mind and said: "Director He, I will be responsible for negotiating with the telecommunications department to reduce the communication equipment and Internet tariffs..."

"How can you be responsible? Can you still control the communication equipment giant? Make them willingly give up huge profits? How is that possible?" He Jianye asked with a look of disbelief on his face.

Yang Mo pointed at the tip of his pen and said with a smile: "Our Zhiyuan Group is the world's largest communications equipment giant!"

"You still have the guts to joke! Why haven't I heard about your Zhiyuan Group's communications equipment design business? Isn't the world's largest communications equipment supplier Cisco? How come it became your Zhiyuan Group..."

At this point, He Jianye was suddenly stunned. After being stunned for a long time, he stared at Yang Mo with strange eyes and muttered to himself: "Did Cisco also be acquired by you? But how is this possible? This is the most profitable company in the world. company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars..."

Yang Mo smiled and nodded: "Cisco is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhiyuan, but we have actually jointly controlled Cisco with other capital companies. Not many people know this trade secret. This secret must not be leaked, otherwise it will It caused Uncle Sam to use state power to suppress Zhiyuan Group, and even affected the future game between China and the United States in the high-tech industrial chain..."

"Is it so suspenseful? You can't even report to the supervisor?" He Jianye asked in confusion.

"Of course, once it's leaked, do you think they can tolerate the fact that the world's largest communications equipment supplier is a Chinese-funded company?" Yang Mo asked rhetorically.

"So what if we know? How can they still steal it?" He Jianye said disapprovingly.

"Director He, never overestimate your opponent's bottom line! Even their so-called allies, once they form an overwhelming lead over them in a certain high-tech field, they will use various sanctions and extreme pressure to form a Not only will they openly rob us of unfair trade barriers, they will even detain corporate executives on unfounded charges..." Yang Mo said in a deep voice.
