Bankruptcy? !
Director Fang was shocked, could things become so serious
And what did he say, that in five years, pagers will be obsolete? How can this be
The pager business is booming now. Last year, the number of new users exceeded 16 million. So many paging stations have sprung up across the country. How could they be eliminated in five years
"Feng Yu, do you mean that pagers may be replaced by mobile phones?" Director Fang asked after seeing Feng Yu staring at the mobile phone on the table.
"It's not possible, it's certain. Why do people use pagers? Is it to be found at any time when they are outside? Mobile phones can solve this problem. Do you think mobile phone calls are expensive? But text messages are not expensive. Instead of having the paging station forward it, just text it.”
"No, the price of pagers has dropped to less than 2,000 yuan now, and the cheapest mobile phone costs more than 6,000 yuan."
"Director Fang, when pagers cost four to five thousand yuan, people's annual income was only more than one thousand yuan. In other words, it would take an ordinary worker four years without food or water to afford a pager. Then why do so many people Are they all affordable? It’s because pagers are falling in price and people’s incomes are increasing, especially as our country’s economy is getting better and better, and there are more and more middle-income families. There are better communication devices, why don’t they use them? Besides, how do you know that the price of mobile phones will not drop below 2,000 yuan like this pager?"
"What? Can the price of a mobile phone be reduced to less than 2,000 yuan?!" Director Fang's eyes widened. How much does a mobile phone cost? Isn't the profit here too high
"I'm talking about the future. When we first developed this pager, it cost two to three thousand yuan. But now, it costs less than one thousand yuan. Only our new product, the high-speed Chinese character machine, costs more than two thousand yuan. Thousands of dollars. The cost of pagers can drop so much in just two or three years, so why can’t cell phones?”
"But at a meeting a few days ago, Director Zhao of the Ministry of Information Industry also reported that in the next two years, the number of new pager users in our country will still exceed 15 million or more every year."
"I believe that the number of new users can reach this number, but don't forget that there are also those who have canceled their accounts." Feng Yu looked at Director Fang with a smile.
Director Fang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was one of those who had his account cancelled. That said, this data is very informative. Just like the birth population and the death population, there are more births, but more deaths.
Most of those who canceled their accounts probably chose to buy mobile phones. So, the potential of the mobile phone market is really huge!
Well, the network access permission for pager manufacturers can no longer be granted, but the network access permission for mobile phones can be encouraged. If so many pager users turned into mobile phone users, what a big industry it would be. Feng Yu would definitely make a lot of money, and it would be stolen by those foreign brands.
"Why, Director Fang is thinking that the development of mobile phone companies should be encouraged?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
"That's right, your production capacity can't fill the domestic market, can it?" Director Fang is not embarrassed at all. He is not making money for himself anyway, he is also doing it for the country.
"Of course it can't be filled. It's also a good thing for more mobile phone companies to appear, which can prosper the market faster. But if these pager companies are still making mobile phones, they can still only make some money while the mobile phone industry is booming, and then It’s still over.” Feng Yu said unceremoniously.
Director Fang was unhappy: "You mean, you are the only one who can develop the company and no one else can? I admit that your company is indeed developing the best, but you can't look down on others like this, right?"
Those are state-owned enterprises, and they have local support. Why can’t they develop? I can still make some money while the mobile phone market explodes, and then it will be over again. Why don’t I believe it
"Director Fang, have you found anything in common between my companies?" Feng Yu reminded.
"What they have in common? Are the brands well managed?" Director Fang guessed.
"That's right. It's important, but it's not the most important. Our company attaches the most importance to technology research and development, and we must make technology leading. The salary of our company's technical backbone is even higher than that of some middle managers. That great man Have you forgotten the saying, technology is the primary productive force! Have those companies that follow the trend paid attention to technology?" Feng Yu said disdainfully.
"Why didn't you pay attention to it? They also have experts from local research institutes." Director Fang said to himself, do you think your company is the only one with professionals
"They have experts, I believe this. Maybe some of those experts have more technical strength than our R&D staff. But how many experts do they have? A professor with several graduate students is considered a R&D team. ?Do you know how many technical researchers Aihua Electronics has? There are hundreds of technical personnel from China alone, as well as a group from the former Soviet Union and a group from island countries. And we develop mobile phones with the help of other companies , those companies also have hundreds of R&D personnel. In other words, just to develop this mobile phone, we have thousands of people involved to achieve this."
"It's just a mobile phone. Can't we just buy a new one and take it apart to study it? So many people are using it?" Director Fang obviously didn't believe it.
How could such a gadget be used by so many researchers? Feng Yu was obviously bragging.
Of course Feng Yu was bragging, but not entirely. There are indeed nearly 2,000 technical researchers at Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, Fengyu Electrical Appliances, Aihua Electrical Appliances, etc., but only a few hundred people are actually invested in mobile phone projects, and there are dozens of core personnel. More people continue to do technology research and development, constantly improving the various performance parameters of this mobile phone, and trying to catch up with foreign electronic product companies.
"Those companies have the same idea as you, so those companies can only eat other people's leftovers. We eat meat, and they can only drink soup. And when we eat another piece of meat, they are still drinking soup, even The soup has gone bad, and they have to drink it because there is nothing else to eat. We raise pigs ourselves and then sell them to make money. When we want to eat meat, we can kill pigs at any time. As for them, they can only wait for us to kill pigs. After stewing the meat, drink some soup or get some worthless water to eat back."
Seeing that Director Fang wanted to speak, Feng Yu waved his hand and continued: "There is an old saying in business, I have what others don't have, I have the essence of others, and I can transfer the essence of others. What have they achieved? If they are not a Chinese enterprise, I will launch A price war will make them all lose money. Those companies have no technology and no funds, so they rely on some salesmen to work hard to sell goods. What development do you think can happen? I don’t need to suppress them, but those foreign companies What? When they suppress them, what should these companies do?"
Why did Feng Yu let those companies go? The market was big enough. Feng Yu didn't need to suppress others, and his own products could be sold. He just used those products to differentiate himself from Fengyu and Aihua brand products. Of course, one of the purposes is to have those products impact imported products.
But you can’t say that, you have to show that you are enlightened and lofty!
Director Fang was silent. It turned out that Feng Yu had been giving in to those companies. From this point of view, Feng Yu was quite kind. Is the prosperity of those enterprises just false prosperity on the surface
