Fanxing Software Company not only has high operating income, but its net profit margin is also terrifying, reaching 63%, with a net profit of 252 billion yuan and a global employee count of 1 million.
It can be said that in 1984, Fanxing Software Company achieved brilliant results. Not only did its revenue reach a new high, but its net profit margin was also several percentage points higher than the previous year.
Since many management systems have been developed before, the most they can do is add some new functions based on the original ones. The investment cost is relatively low, and the total number of customers has expanded several times, which invisibly dilutes the cost.
Although Zhao Yi was very happy in the face of Fanxing Software Company's amazing achievements, there were some hidden worries behind this happiness.
Although it is fun to make money now, it has definitely become a thorn in the eyes of Ou Yingjiang's family. Maybe they have already started to think of ways to deal with Fanxing Software Company.
The only way is to add a competitor to Fanxing Software Company, and also to limit the business scope of Fanxing Software Company so that they will not expand infinitely.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi said: "I am very happy with your achievements, but you are already too big, and big trees attract wind. You should know this truth, so the problems you will face next are also very serious."
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Liao Xingkai, who was full of joy just now, suddenly changed his expression. The results he achieved last year made him a little carried away, and he had not thought about this issue carefully.
Now that Zhao Yi has raised this issue, it must have reached the point where there is no need to delay. Although they have achieved a natural monopoly through technology, governments of various countries do not think so.
But now that Fanxing Software Company has reached this size, it cannot castrate itself. It is a bit unreasonable to mess up its position just because it is afraid of anti-monopoly investigation.
Faced with this situation, although Liao Xingkai was worried, he could not think of a good way.
Zhao Yi looked at Liao Xingkai's expression and said with a smile: "It's not that there is no way. The way is to find a strong competitor for you, and at the same time, don't expand your business scope for the time being.
Therefore, I will set up a new software company with the purpose of giving you a fighting platform and creating the illusion of market competition. In this way, you will not be the sole ruler of the market, and your goals will be much smaller.
Of course, since I plan to set up a new software company, I will definitely provide some help. When the time comes, it will cause certain competitive pressure on Fanxing Software Company. You need to be mentally prepared.
At the same time, I also plan to separate your Internet R&D department and set up an Internet company to specialize in Internet technology development and product research and development. "
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Liao Xingkai suddenly looked bitter. He had come happily to attend the annual meeting, but instead he gave himself a banquet. Although it was not deliberately aimed at him, it still felt like a piece of flesh was cut off from him.
This is nothing, after all, Fanxing Software Company has formed an absolute market advantage and technical advantage. If it is an ordinary competitor, they will not take it seriously at all.
But this new software company will definitely get special support from Zhao Yi, and it will definitely not be inferior to them in terms of technology. Coupled with financial support, it is really not certain who will win among them in the future competition.
As for the division of some businesses in the Internet department, Liao Xingkai is not particularly distressed yet.
Although he also knows that the Internet will definitely have prospects in the future, otherwise Zhao Yi would not care so much, but he has no specific idea of how many prospects it has.
Everyone present was moved when they heard Zhao Yi's arrangement, especially those companies that had almost reached monopoly standards, such as Tianxing Semiconductor Company, which had formed a de facto monopoly in the field of logic chips.
If this method of disposal is followed, Zhao Yi will definitely establish another semiconductor company and prepare to compete with Tianxing Semiconductor Company in the field of logic chips.
Although they are all brother companies in private, and the beneficiaries behind them are all the same, it is different for their management, which is related to their vital interests.
It’s just that the problem Zhao Yi mentioned just now does exist. If some measures cannot be taken, antitrust investigations will definitely come. This is a matter of time.
It just so happened that the next person to report was Lin Aiguo from Tianxing Semiconductor Company. He said: "In 1984, Tianxing Semiconductor Company achieved operating income of 130 billion yuan, of which personal computer logic chip revenue was 12.5 billion yuan, and industrial chip revenue was 12.5 billion yuan. Revenue is 15 billion yuan.
Personal computer graphics cards generated revenue of 40 billion yuan, game console graphics cards and logic chips ordered by Polaris earned 50 billion yuan, navigation and positioning chips generated 2.5 billion yuan, and other chips totaled 10 billion yuan. "
From the perspective of operating income classification, the graphics card chips and logic chips provided to Polaris Company still account for the majority.
Due to the continuous launch of several game masterpieces by Polaris, their game console products continued to sell well. Not only did they not show a decline, but their sales increased slightly compared to the previous year.
The second largest category is the personal computer graphics card business. For the same reason, most personal computer users choose to upgrade their computer graphics cards because of the achievements of Polaris' multiple masterpieces.
In the past, Polaris basically released exclusive games, but now Polaris no longer does this. Instead, it chooses to release the PC version of the game two months after it is released on its own game console platform.
Since the games released by Polaris are all 3A masterpieces, the requirements for graphics cards are too high. Except for the graphics cards of Tianxing Semiconductor, no other graphics card in the world can handle Polaris' 3A game masterpieces.
It is precisely because of this that Tianxing Semiconductor's latest high-end graphics card has become a hot commodity, with an average price of 500 US dollars, but it still sold 40 million units.
In order to perfectly support these game masterpieces, Tianxing Semiconductor Company is afraid that the user's CPU computing power is insufficient, and even integrated an additional chip on the graphics card to supplement the CPU computing power.
Of course, this requires that the CPU of the original computer is from Tianxing Semiconductor Company, and it cannot be an old model. Otherwise, even if the CPU computing power is supplemented, there will still be a shortage.
This kind of disposal can not only ensure that your personal computer graphics cards are sold well, but also enable your computer CPUs to be sold. If those old computers want to play 3A masterpieces, they must replace their computers, or at least replace their CPUs.
Of course, this grand occasion is not only due to Polaris, but also to the majority of game developers, because Polaris’ family entertainment plans and personal entertainment plans have supported many individual game studios and game companies.
The support plan includes game engine support, allowing those studios and companies to develop game masterpieces relatively easily. Previously, they were only required to develop games on Polaris' own platform.
Now this restriction has been lifted, allowing them to develop games on the PC side, provided that their release time is delayed by two months.
This has resulted in the current PC computer being able to play more and more game masterpieces. In the past, consumers were reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade the graphics card. Now, after upgrading the graphics card, it means that they can play almost as many games as on the game console. game.
Of course, not all of Polaris' own games have PC versions, but the games they think are the best are exclusive to game consoles.
In this way, you can maintain the advantages of your own game console in terms of game content, so that your own game console can still be sold.
As for the business growth of personal computer chips, in addition to natural growth, it also benefited from the large-scale promotion of Fanxing Software Company's enterprise information system, which caused many companies to purchase personal computers on a large scale, which added to Tianxing Semiconductor Company's growth in this regard. Performance.
Although Tianxing Semiconductor Company also achieved good results in 1984, Yuzhu was ahead, and it pales in comparison to Fanxing Software Company, so Lin Aiguo did not show much joy.
Moreover, Tianxing Semiconductor Company has almost encountered the same difficulties that Fanxing Software Company encountered. Especially in the field of personal computer chips, it is already in a monopoly state, whether it is logic chips or graphics card chips.
As expected, Zhao Yi first affirmed Tianxing Semiconductor's achievements in 1984, and then changed the subject.
Said: "The global chip market is now so large. If there are no special events, it will grow naturally every year. If you want to achieve greater breakthroughs in your performance, you must increase your market share.
It's just that your monopoly will be further intensified, and it will also arouse more and more dissatisfaction from governments and peers. However, according to my personal interests, I am definitely not willing to give up these markets.
So I will still take the approach of Fanxing Software Company. I will set up another semiconductor company whose main business is flash memory chips and memory chips. It will also involve the main business of Tianxing Semiconductor Company, which is logic chips and graphics chips.
This will solve the monopoly problem of Tianxing Semiconductor Company and the monopoly problem of Byte Data Company in data storage. "
After hearing Zhao Yi's words, Lin Aiguo was mentally prepared, but he still felt uncomfortable. This was because Tianxing Semiconductor Company was in a good situation and he had found a competitor for himself.
In the same mood as Lin Aiguo, there is also Qu Hengyang of Byte Data Company who did not make a report. They were still very happy about their industry status before, but this kind of change ushered in, and they could not refute it.
Zhao Yi looked at the faces of everyone present, smiled, and said: "You don't have to be so serious, there shouldn't be only one industry-leading company in this world.
This is not in line with the laws of natural development. Your current market monopoly is all caused by the high technology I provided.
The establishment of some competitive companies now is to return to market normality and break your suspicion of monopoly. Although it may have some adverse effects on the companies you manage, it is beneficial to our collective.
It can be said that you are all my right-hand men, and you are all people who hold the seal of command. When considering issues, you must not only proceed from the interests of your own company, but also obey the interests of the entire collective.
Moreover, according to business experience, the first and second ranked companies compete fiercely with each other. Often, companies ranked third and behind will be affected by this fierce competition vortex and will naturally be eliminated.
Although the market share occupied by your individual enterprise may not be high, the overall market share has increased, which means that doing so is beneficial to the collective interests. "(End of chapter)
