Precision Instrument Company achieved an operating income of 60 billion yuan in 1984. Compared with the previous year, the turnover only increased by 50%. It is considered to be quite satisfactory, and it is a natural growth according to the market.
There is no way around this. Although the technical level of precision instrument companies is far superior to that of its peers, it cannot make large profits from this.
This is due to the need for technical confidentiality. The technical level of instruments and equipment for takeout is not much ahead of others, and the competitiveness is slightly insufficient.
Moreover, Zhao Yi's companies that require a large number of machines have gone through a period of rapid expansion, such as Huansha Textile Company and Hualong Clothing Company, etc., and their scale has reached the limit, and the machinery and equipment purchased each year is limited.
Unless a major technical equipment upgrade is carried out, this situation is still unrealistic. The next large-scale upgrade is expected to involve the launch of intelligent production lines, and the number of employees will be greatly reduced. This is temporarily unrealistic.
Jobs in textile companies and apparel companies are still a popular job for current migrant workers.
Unless the economy develops to a certain level and the tertiary industry can accommodate enough young people for employment and no one is willing to work in factories, it will be possible to launch smart production lines on a large scale.
A large part of this is due to the contribution of Tianxing Semiconductor Company. Semiconductor companies' production line equipment is updated very quickly. Every year, semiconductor companies build new state-of-the-art production lines. This part will continue to expand in scale as the market increases.
According to the production line update cycle of Tianxing Semiconductor Company, it is divided into the latest production lines, main production lines, backward production lines and obsolete production lines.
Among them, the latest production line is the highest manufacturing level in the semiconductor industry. These main equipment are provided by precision instrument companies and are the most profitable. The main production line is the main production line of semiconductor chips, which is also at the advanced level in the world.
The profit earned by the main production line Precision Instrument Company is at a normal level. However, since it is considered very advanced in the world and does not sell out, this part can only be provided to Tianxing Semiconductor Company, which affects the Precision Instrument Company. of revenue.
The backward production lines are on the verge of being eliminated in Tianxing Semiconductor Company, but they still have a certain value. They can produce chips that do not require very high process requirements, such as navigation chips, audio and video decoding chips, etc., and they also have certain commercial value. .
The elimination of the production line is because Tianxing Semiconductor believes that the profits of the chips it can produce are too low, and it is a production line that is not very profitable. However, it still has a certain technical level in the world and can produce low-end chips.
Although this kind of production line will be eliminated in Tianxing Semiconductor Company, there is still a huge demand outside, so Tianxing Semiconductor Company will sell this part of the production line to manufacturers in need.
It can be seen from this that Precision Instrument Company mainly earns money from Tianxing Semiconductor Company's latest production line and main production line.
As the global demand for semiconductor chips continues to be strong, semiconductor companies are adding many new production lines every year. This is the main reason why precision instrument companies can still ensure revenue growth even after losing large orders from textile companies and apparel companies.
The production lines built by Baiwei Food Company across the country have also brought certain operating income to Precision Instrument Company. However, the technical content of the food processing production lines is low, the profits are not very high, and the production scale is still limited for the time being.
However, when Baiwei Food Company is fully rolled out, the scale of the precision instrument company's production line will continue to expand, which will eventually make the precision instrument company's operating income in this area relatively considerable.
The rest is the traditional business of some precision instrument companies, such as sensors, special precision instruments, etc. With the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the scale of natural growth is still considerable.
As for Precision Instrument Company's CNC machine tools and other products, most of them are contributed by Zhao Yi's companies, but Zhao Yi believes that when the state-owned enterprises are comprehensively reformed, Precision Instrument Company's CNC machine tools and production lines will sell well.
Because the reform of state-owned enterprises is not only a reform of management and equity, but also a reform of technology. As the most advanced production line and machine tool manufacturer in China and even the world, it can definitely win most of the orders.
At the same time, in 1985, Shangtong Trading Company will build a logistics network across the country, which will require the use of many sorting systems, especially intelligent sorting lines, which will bring a large amount of revenue and profits to precision instrument companies. Not low.
Fanxing Software Company's performance in 1984 can be said to be very outstanding. The annual operating income reached 400 billion yuan, an increase of 200% over the previous year. It can be described as rapid growth.
The reason why Fanxing Software's performance was so good this year was mainly due to the surge in revenue from two aspects.
The first major source is revenue from enterprise information systems. In 1983, there were only 50,000 partners in this area, bringing 80 billion yuan in revenue to Fanxing Software.
In 1984, the number of cooperative companies in this area reached 200,000, accounting for almost an absolute share of the world market, making Fanxing Software Company the dominant player in this industry, with operating income reaching more than 300 billion yuan.
The reason for such great achievements is mainly due to the following reasons. First, Fanxing Software Company can provide a complete set of solutions for enterprise information management, which can significantly reduce the overall investment amount of enterprises in this area.
Second, the enterprise information system provided by Fanxing Software Company has been tested by the market. It is not only easier to use than the products of ordinary companies, but also has a degree of product stability that is unmatched by other products.
Moreover, the business flow between information systems is very natural and smooth, which is much better than purchasing each system from different manufacturers. This is why most companies are willing to use Fanxing Software's full set of solutions.
Third, Fanxing Software Company has changed the original information system from a C/S architecture to a B/S architecture, which has greatly reduced the company's investment in hardware. No matter what the system is or how many systems there are, it only requires a browser. Can be solved.
The current technology in this area can be regarded as the unique secret of Fanxing Software Company. It not only allows partners around the world to see the strength of Fanxing Software Company, but also makes them look forward to cooperating with Fanxing Software Company even more. It also completely throws away its competitors. .
Currently, Fanxing Software Company has not opened up the technology in this area, so the world is completely unable to get started with this new technology. Even if it is learned, it cannot be used because there are still patents.
Of course, this situation cannot last long. For commercial interests, other companies will bypass Fanxing Software Company's patents and develop another set of technologies based on B/S architecture. In this regard, it is difficult to use patents to lock opponents.
The second largest source of revenue is the sales of Star Software's first-generation graphics operating system.
Some companies have provided graphical operating systems in the past, but they were still in their infancy, and those who could use computers at that time were all computer practitioners. This rudimentary graphical interface was not as fast as the command line.
Now after several years of personal computer development, a large number of novices have joined this field, making the launch of graphical operating systems more urgent than before. As the overlord in the field of personal operating systems, Fanxing Software Company will definitely not let it go.
It's just that Fanxing Software Company has very high requirements for its first graphical operating system, rather than the silly graphical interface provided by other companies. It is not only ugly, but also has limited operations and does not have as many functions as the command line.
So after Fanxing Software Company officially launched their graphics operating system, the entire personal computer industry changed instantly, sweeping into the dust those operating system products that had been struggling before.
In fact, the graphics operating system provided by Fanxing Software Company is too advanced. Whether it is in terms of technical concepts or graphics functions, it is not only half the best, it is a complete blow to dimensionality reduction.
In the six months since the launch of the graphical operating system, the number of individual users worldwide has reached more than 10 million. All new personal computer users have switched to this operating system, and some old-fashioned machines with good hardware conditions have also been replaced by this operating system. operating system.
The graphical operating system of Fanxing Software Company sells for a uniform global price of US$200 per set, with global sales revenue of more than US$2 billion, or more than 4 billion yuan.
If it were just this, it wouldn't really matter. Enterprise users are the ones who really make money. Therefore, while Fanxing Software Company launched a personal version of the graphical interface, it also launched an enterprise-level graphical operating system and a server graphical operating system.
Not to mention other things, the number of companies that cooperate with Fanxing Software Company has reached 200,000. According to the average scale of 200 working personal computers per company, the installation scale has reached 40 million units, and the enterprise-level operating system is larger than that of personal computers. is much more expensive.
Assuming that each set of enterprise graphics operating systems sells for US$500, the turnover in this area alone has reached US$20 billion, which is a turnover of 40 billion yuan.
As for the server version of the graphical operating system, although the unit price is high, the number of users is limited. After all, changing the server operating system is a prudent matter. At most, it is a try, install one or two and see how it goes.
Fortunately, Fanxing Software Company has many cooperative companies around the world. Even if not all of them replace their server operating systems, a considerable proportion of them choose to replace their server operating systems because they trust Fanxing Software Company's technology.
In order to dispel the concerns of partner companies, Fanxing Software Company promised to provide them with two years of free server maintenance services. If there is a problem with the server where the graphics operating system is installed, Fanxing Software Company will solve it.
In the end, the number of servers installed with the server version of Fanxing Graphics Operating System worldwide reached 500,000. The price of each operating system was US$2,000. The operating income in this area was US$1 billion, which is 2 billion yuan.
In addition, office software is now also a major business of Fanxing Software Company. The number of new installations worldwide has reached 50 million. The full set price is US$200. The revenue in this area has reached US$10 billion and 20 billion yuan.
The remaining businesses are tool software, industrial software and special software. Since some tool software adopts a free strategy, such as video software, it is free and there is no income.
Although the unit price of some is not bad, they are all used by professionals and the sales volume is not large. This means that although there are many types of software in this area, the overall sales are not very high, totaling more than 30 billion yuan. (End of chapter)
