Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Along with the explosion of Nanshan’s semiconductor production capacity, China’s consumer electronics and automobile industries have also undergone tremendous changes.

These two industries are also the main consumers of chips produced by Nanshan Semiconductor.

In the past 2016, the sales of Honor Technology, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and VIVO all set new records.

The five of them have a market share of more than 90% in China's mobile phone market, and other manufacturers can only compete for the remaining 10%.

The most impressive thing is that these manufacturers have begun to explore overseas markets and have achieved considerable results.

"Mr. Cao, our mobile phone sales last year broke the historic 3 million mark, reaching 3.04 million units."

"This number is already more than 50 million more than the second-place Samsung phone."

"This year, Huawei's mobile phone sales are only 30 million less than Apple's. The gap is getting smaller and smaller."

The New Year's Day holiday had just ended, and Xia Qingqing took some of the data and information she had compiled and went to report to Cao Yang in person on the situation of the consumer electronics market last year.

Last year was definitely a fruitful year for Honor Technology.

Their company has completely become the world's largest consumer electronics company.

Not only did 3 million mobile phones sell, but more than million PADs and laptops combined also sold.

Not to mention other products, these things alone have contributed more than 2 trillion yuan in sales to Honor Technology.

This is definitely a very scary statistic.

You know, as long as a company’s revenue can exceed 1000 billion, it is already a very large company.

As a result, Honor Technology's revenue alone is equal to that of more than 20 very large companies.

It is conceivable how high the status of Honor Technology is in China.

To exaggerate a little, Venus Technology, Honor Technology, and Nanshan Semiconductor are already the three most popular high-tech companies in China.

During campus recruitment last year, these three companies alone recruited more than 8 fresh graduates. Combined with the number of recruits from other sister companies, the Nanshan Group has provided employment for more than 2017 students who graduated in 15.

And these 15 are still considered high-income earners, and there are 15 families behind them.

"As long as there is a major breakthrough in semiconductor technology, it is inevitable that our consumer electronics industry will dominate the world."

"But in the next step, we will try our best to guide everyone to compete overseas and continue to seize market share from Samsung and Apple around the world."

"Otherwise, if the domestic market continues to expand, it will eventually lead to a situation where no one can make a lot of money."

But Cao Yang didn't want to see the ideal situation that had been formed with great difficulty being broken.

Nanshan-based companies have a strong voice in the industry. If anyone maliciously breaks the rules, they have the strength to call on their peers to suppress such companies.

Although to some extent, this may involve the field of antitrust.

However, anti-monopoly measures in any country are targeted and the country will not target itself.

When have you ever seen antitrust laws punish tobacco companies?

"I understand. There will be an event held in our industry in the near future. I will call on everyone to work in this direction at that time."

Xia Qingqing could naturally understand Cao Yang's concerns.

She also strongly supports following Cao Yang's direction.

Similarly, Warwick naturally hopes that its products can maintain appropriate profits rather than engaging in malicious competition with others.

The entire Chinese consumer electronics industry is slowly getting back on track.

……

Compared with the consumer electronics industry, the situation in the automotive industry is a bit more complicated.

Although the market share of Chinese independent brand car companies represented by Nanshan Automobile Group, Changan Automobile, Nanshan Hongqi, etc. continues to expand, by then various foreign brands such as Volkswagen, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and BMW will still have a certain market share in China.

Of course, this market share is definitely declining.

"Mr. Cao, the market share of foreign brands in the Chinese market has fallen below 40% and will soon fall below 30%."

"If we include the overseas sales of our own brands, then the proportion of our auto production in China has exceeded 70%."

Zeng Tingting was also very active in reporting the situation in the automotive industry to Cao Yang.

In fact, competition in China's automobile industry was very fierce throughout 2016.

Whether it is the competition between domestic brands and joint ventures, or the competition between domestic brands, the level of fierceness is quite high.

Of course, these competitions are not without effect.

After this baptism, the sales of domestic brands have generally been on the rise, the only difference is the rate of increase.

"I've seen a lot of news that domestic brands have begun to build factories overseas on a large scale."

"I think you need to communicate with Autohome about this matter so that everyone can fully understand the risks of building factories overseas."

"Especially the election situation in the United States will bring about very big changes to the economic situation of the entire world."

"We cannot consider the impact in this regard."

Cao Yang knew much more than Zeng Tingting, so he was more worried.

The automobile industry is the industry in which the Nanshan Group started, but it also happens to be the industry with the least obvious monopoly so far.

If Nanshan Automobile Group wants to completely control the development pattern of China's automobile industry, it still needs to work harder.

"Since many manufacturers have tasted the sweetness of overseas sales, they have become more enthusiastic about building factories overseas."

“This may be a trend that is difficult to stop.”

"We can only issue some early warnings, and even let Autohome use our group as an example to let everyone know that our group has not built new automobile factories overseas in recent years."

Zeng Tingting knew that it was not easy to persuade others to change their minds when they were in a big mood.

We can only let them suffer a little loss, and then see how to adjust.

Of course, China's national strength at this stage is already much higher than the same period in history. It is hard to say whether those countries still dare to use so many small tricks.

It is possible that the domestic brands have really taken the right route this time.

……

There was another change during the 2017 Spring Festival that many people did not notice.

That was with the last launch of Venus 9 by Venus Technologies, which sent the last batch of Starlink satellites into space. The construction of the Starlink satellite system, which lasted for several years, finally came to an end.

The integration with 5G is also being carried out in full swing.

Although there is no way to use satellites to replace all base stations, the tens of thousands of Starlink satellites in space of Venusstar Technology are definitely not vegetarian.

Since various communication needs were fully taken into consideration at the beginning of the design, and a large number of parts such as gallium nitride power components were used, the functions of these satellites are many times more powerful than those of SpaceX's satellites in the same period in history.

In this way, the smoothness of the Starlink satellite system is far beyond the imagination of many people.

Whether it is on car computers or mobile phones, it is now widely used.

"Max, Venusstar Technology's Starlink satellite system has been completed. Their next step is to help the European Space Agency and Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Corporation deploy a local Starlink system."

"If I don't speed up, then I'll just have to hang around in the country."

Musk naturally also paid attention to the fact that Venusstar Technology had completed the construction of the Starlink satellite system.

This is definitely not good news for him.

However, the only thing that made him feel better was that Tesla's performance in the American market last year was very good, and it even had no rivals.

This also caused Tesla's stock price to rise sharply.

"Venus Technology has already occupied the better positions. It is difficult for us to easily find the positions of so many satellites."

"Even if some of our satellites are too close to Venusstar's satellites, the signal will become unstable."

“I suspect that there are some jamming devices in Venustech’s Starlink satellite system that are specifically designed to interfere with the operation of other satellites.”

Max's statement surprised Musk.

Has Venustech already used satellite jamming equipment on the Starlink satellite system?

This is definitely not good news for SpaceX.

After all, they are just a private enterprise, unlike Venustech, which belongs to the military-industrial complex.

As for dealing with the other party, Musk is very clear that he is no match for Venusstar Technology.

"Have you communicated this information with NASA?"

Musk felt that this issue must be taken seriously, but they were not strong enough on their own.

"I have arranged for someone to collect and organize some evidence. When the time comes, I will go to Gryffin and John to explain and see how to deal with this situation."

Max was also a little worried at this time.

SpaceX had a slow start to begin with, and now it is being marginalized. It will naturally be more difficult for it to catch up.

In this situation, they can only seek help from relevant departments.

The fact that such an ambitious technology company has been pushed to this point fully demonstrates the strength of Venustech.

……

In 2016, for Venusstar Technology, in addition to the huge gains in the aerospace field, the rapid progress in the aviation field cannot be ignored.

Whether it is the Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter, the Xiongying heavy transport helicopter, or other products such as the H-20, they are being delivered continuously.

Not to mention the various types of drones, China is definitely equipped with the largest number of drones in the world.

Even the number of drones equipped by China alone may be equal to the total number of drones equipped by other countries in the world.

In addition to aircraft products, there have been huge breakthroughs in missiles.

On the one hand, the large-scale deployment of air defense ballistic systems has brought about huge demand for missile production.

On the other hand, Venusstar Technology's automated missile production line has produced some export missiles for use with drones.

These missiles have played a very important role in Goudahu and some other areas, and have also made a name for themselves in the international market.

"Mr. Cao, according to the analysis reports published by relevant international magazines, our company has now become China's largest military export enterprise, with an export scale second only to the United States and exceeding that of the polar bear."

As the Spring Festival was approaching, Zhao Siyu reported another important news to Cao Yang.

In recent years, Cao Yang hopes that Venustech can develop in the direction of a military-industrial complex. To this end, he himself often participates in the research and development of various projects and has achieved a lot of results.

Now it is finally harvest time.

"It's hard work to be able to snatch a large part of the military export contracts from the polar bear and the United States."

"But this is just the beginning. In the future, we will exert greater influence on the international arms market and become an arms tycoon on par with the United States."

Zhao Siyu naturally fully supported Cao Yang's idea.

There is no way, the profits from the arms business are simply too considerable.

The profit of individual projects can reach 1000%.

This is simply a money grab.

If Venustech wants to protect its global status and technological achievements, it also needs to have military strength.

Otherwise, when building a base on the moon in the future, we will inevitably encounter some new problems.

……

"Mr. Cao, we have won orders for more than eight LNG carriers from customers such as Qatar this year. We now have orders for 8 ships."

Just after the Spring Festival, Wenchong Shipyard also brought good news to Cao Yang.

The LNG tankers jointly developed by the two parties have now begun to enter the international and domestic markets.

This will inevitably affect the business of shipbuilding companies in Goryeo.

It can be said that Goryeo’s several advantageous industries are now facing huge competition from China, and they cannot get rid of it even if they want to.

"Boss Xiang, you guys have to work harder and try to defeat all the Korean shipbuilders so that China can become a major producer of LNG carriers in the world."

As the most profitable type of civilian ship, the future development prospects of LNG tankers are still very worth looking forward to.

Many shipyards have seen this.

Otherwise, not many shipyards would try to enter this field.

Even in China, there are now four shipyards with this capability, but Wenchong Shipyard has the largest production capacity.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cao. We are confident that we can defeat Samsung Heavy Industries or Hyundai Heavy Industries of Korea."

"After using Nanshan special steel and Nanshan equipment, as well as various materials and gas turbines produced by Nanshan Engine, our production costs are actually much lower than those of Korean companies."

"As long as our production capacity increases and our customers' confidence in us increases, that will be the day when the Korean shipyard will die."

Xiang Jianghui's words were full of confidence.

With the support of the Nanshan Group, he is full of confidence.

Otherwise, Wenchong Shipyard would not dare to launch any large project at will.
