Chapter 264: Acquisition or joint venture

After listening to the reports from these companies, Zhao Yi suddenly had an idea. The current development situation of the national automobile industry is that except for Shenlong Automobile Company, other domestic automobile companies are not doing well, and are not even as good as in the previous life.

Previously, the main market of Shenlong Automobile Company was abroad. In China, the price of Shenlong Automobile Company's cars was too high and sales were limited. However, it also accounted for a large proportion of government procurement, which deprived other automobile companies of this part of their income.

It's okay in the short term, but in the long term, it will definitely have a huge impact on their operations. When they unite and target Shenlong Motors, they are likely to cause a lot of trouble to Shenlong Motors.

You must know that they are all state-owned enterprises, even large state-owned enterprises in the past, and they have some power at the government level, so Shenlong Automobile Company still needs to handle this relationship well.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi said: "Shenlong Automobile Company will turn its attention to the country next, which will inevitably have a huge impact on domestic automobile companies. We must take this issue seriously.

After all, our country is not a capitalist society. Not to mention maintaining state-owned assets, it is still necessary to at least maintain domestic political stability and minimize the negative impact caused by Shenlong Automobile Company's development strategy.

To solve this problem, I think there are two solutions. The first way is for Shenlong Automobile Company to acquire state-owned automobile companies, especially those that are already in operating difficulties, to prevent employees from these companies from being laid off.

At the same time, Shenlong Automobile Company can also acquire some low-end car brands. Although these brands are dispensable to Shenlong Automobile Company, they still play a certain role and have a certain brand awareness, which is much less labor-intensive than starting from scratch.

It coincides with the large-scale reform of state-owned enterprises that will be launched this year. Shenlong Automobile Company must actively participate in it and accept some non-performing assets. Although it may seem like a loss, it will be very helpful to the future development of Shenlong Automobile Company.

The second method is to provide technical support to some domestic automobile companies and establish joint ventures to help these automobile companies modernize, create low-end automobile brands with certain competitiveness, and improve their basic technical level.

As for high-end car brands, they need to work hard on their own. I believe that Shenlong Automobile Company should be worthy of them in this regard.

A single tree cannot make a forest, and a flower cannot make a spring. I do not want Shenlong Automobile Company to be emotional about this matter. Only by uniting domestic automobile manufacturing companies can our market be solid.

A very simple example, if it is difficult for the automobile companies you force to survive, they will inevitably be forced to introduce foreign brands and enter the domestic market through joint ventures. This will become a stronger competitor for you.

Therefore, you need to take precautions to nip this possibility in the bud, and use these domestic companies to completely occupy the low-end market, and even allow them to go abroad and compete with automobile companies in other countries.

And you can also focus your energy on the field of high-end automobiles to avoid getting caught in the melee, focusing on one thing and losing the other, and ultimately ending up being beaten.

The domestic market will be huge in the future, and it cannot be taken by Shenlong Automobile Company alone. The situation of coexistence of multiple parties cannot be changed. This is the time to strengthen the technical strength of other domestic automobile companies.

Even if we suffer a bit at a disadvantage, it doesn't matter, as long as we don't let foreign brands come to the country to feast, and strive to let domestic automobile companies carve up the domestic automobile market. "

Now that Zhao Yi said this, Sun Zhaoxi, the president of Shenlong Automobile Company, naturally had no objection. Before, they only worked hard to develop the international market and did not pay much attention to the domestic market. They obviously ignored this aspect.

Now if we want to work hard to develop the domestic market, we have to face these problems.

However, Sun Zhaoxi still prefers to use the first method to solve the problem. Anyway, it is necessary to expand production capacity, and acquiring these automobile companies will be of the greatest benefit to Shenlong Automobile Company. They are not short of money anyway.

"This problem is not just a problem for Shenlong Motors. Many of your companies also need to consider this issue. These problems will be a long-term problem and require you to use your own wisdom to deal with it."

When other companies heard Zhao Yi's words, they nodded involuntarily. Before, they only knew how to develop the company blindly and thought very little about these issues. Even Zhao Yi somewhat ignored these issues.

Fortunately, most of his companies had previously focused their attention on overseas markets, and most of their products were supplied to overseas markets, allowing the domestic industry to have a certain amount of room for survival.

Moreover, many products previously implemented a dual-track system, allowing state-owned enterprises to have their own operating system, while Zhao Yi's companies have another operating system, and the two systems are not very disruptive.

Things are different now. The reform of state-owned enterprises is bound to break the restrictions of the dual-track system and allow these enterprises to fully participate in market competition. So state-owned enterprises that compete with Zhao Yi's enterprises will definitely not be able to compete with them.

When he finally got out of the cage, he encountered an evil tiger. This was a wake-up call for the reform of state-owned enterprises. At that time, the government was bound to impose some restrictions on the domestic development of Zhao Yi's enterprises.

Since there may be such a situation, we must resolve them. Acquire those that can be acquired, and enter into joint ventures with those that cannot be acquired, develop into our own allies, and give up some low-end areas. This is the best result.

Next, Qu Hengyang, President of Byte Data Company, made a report. According to his report, in 1984, Byte Data Company's share in the field of mechanical hard drives increased instead of falling, reaching an astonishing 95% share.

At the same time, it also has an absolute monopoly in the field of flash memory, maintaining a 100% market share. The patent pool they have set up makes competitors unable to compete in this area.

The increase in the market share of mechanical hard drives is due to the fact that too many companies have carried out informatization transformation this year, and Byte Data's hard drive products are their first choice.

And in the field of personal computer hard drives, Byte Data has also made certain price cuts to maintain its competitiveness in the personal data storage market and not allow competitors to continue to encroach on its market share.

Due to the rapid expansion of the market scale, Byte Data's annual turnover reached 60 billion yuan, three times last year's sales, with net profit reaching 18 billion yuan and a net profit margin of 30%.

Next is the report from Liu Neng of Xinhui Energy Company. Zhao Yi paid very little attention to this company, especially in 1984. He almost never visited it once and usually only communicated through emails.

Although Xinhui Energy Company's presence is very weak, they made a lot of achievements in 1984.

The first is that the domestic installed power generation capacity continues to expand, with the increased capacity being the same as in 1983, further consolidating its position in the power generation field.

In order to keep up with the speed of domestic economic development and the improvement of national living standards, Xinhui Energy Company will increase power generation by more than 25% per year in the next few years.

It will not slow down until it can meet all domestic electricity demand.

These are only the basic and fixed businesses of Xinhui Energy Company. In addition, it has also made great achievements in photovoltaic power generation. In Qinghai, Tibet and Gansu, it has completed the construction of several photovoltaic power plants and can already supply green energy. .

Not only that, their photovoltaic products are also exported to countries such as Europe and the United States. Since their photovoltaic products have the highest light energy conversion rate and are relatively affordable, they are developing very quickly in the export sector.

As fast as the export of photovoltaic power generation equipment, their wind power generation equipment is also very competitive internationally due to its technological advantages.

In addition, there is also their nuclear power generation technology, which has completed technical verification, but has not yet carried out the construction of nuclear power plants. This requires national approval. There is a lot of preparation work, and it will be difficult to achieve substantive results for a while.

But they are still continuing to work hard in the field of nuclear power, hoping to develop higher power generation efficiency, higher nuclear fuel usage efficiency, and safer technology.

It is a pity that the tidal power experimental plant, which was originally scheduled to be completed in 1984, was not completed as scheduled. This was not due to technical problems, but due to the interference of typhoons in the construction area, which caused work delays.

Generally speaking, Xinhui Energy Company achieved good results in 1984, with an annual turnover of 60 billion yuan.

Domestic power generation revenue is 20 billion yuan, smart grid equipment procurement is 20 billion yuan, and photovoltaic power generation equipment and wind power generation equipment exports are 20 billion yuan.

Due to large-scale investment in the construction of thermal power plants and photovoltaic power plants in 1984, the net profit was only 1 billion yuan, which was pitiful.

This does not include the tens of billions of yuan invested by Zhao Yi in the early stage. It is only the net profit for the year, not the cumulative net profit.

This is because the cost of their self-built photovoltaic power plants is very low. If calculated based on the export price to Europe, they will lose at least more than 10 billion yuan.

This phenomenon may last for several years, and Zhao Yi has long been mentally prepared for this. If Xinhui Energy Company does not stop adding new power plants, its future profits will not be very high.

However, once their pace of adding new power plants stops, it means that the domestic power supply has been saturated. At that time, the profits that Xinhui Energy Company can only earn from the power generation field will be terrible. This is a long-term profit business. .

Next, Wen Sheng from Cornerstone Materials Company made a report. According to his report, Cornerstone Materials Company's annual turnover was 300 billion yuan, the majority of which came from material procurement revenue from Shenlong Automobile Company and Star Power Company.

After the sharp increase in this part of revenue in 1983, the growth rate in 1984 was not high. The main reason was that the car sales of Shenlong Automobile Company encountered a bottleneck. A large amount of the new turnover came from the revenue from infrastructure materials.

That is, special adhesive fungi for construction and special coatings for construction. These two businesses have achieved good business development with the construction of the highway network and the construction of new cities by the Hong Kong Housing Company.

The rest is income from miscellaneous businesses, which has also reached 20 billion yuan. Aircraft materials for Star Express Company fall into this category.

Although the net profit margin in automotive materials has declined, the profit margin in new building materials is very high, so the overall net profit margin is still maintained at 30%, with a full-year net profit of 90 billion yuan. (End of chapter)
