In 1985, Fanxing Software Company's performance was completely different from the rapid growth of the previous year. Not only did it not exceed the total operating income of the previous year, it even dropped a lot.
The reason why the operating income increased by leaps and bounds in the previous year was mainly because their enterprise information management system sold very well, and the number of cooperative enterprises increased explosively.
In 1985, the number of new cooperative enterprises was only 50,000. Although it is still a very scary number from the perspective of outsiders, compared with the 200,000 enterprises the previous year, it is not so impressive. .
In the future, it is quite good for the number of new user companies of the enterprise information management system to be maintained at the current level. Zhao Yi has been mentally prepared for this for a long time.
This is mainly because enterprise information systems cannot be replaced frequently, but require iterations over a long period of time. According to Fanxing Software Company's estimates, this period of time is about five years.
Although the operating income brought by the new enterprises was only 80 billion yuan, which was not comparable to the 300 billion yuan in the previous year, due to the expiration of early free maintenance services, more than 20 billion yuan was still earned from maintenance services.
As more free maintenance services expire in the future, system maintenance services will gradually become an important source of income for Fanxing Software Company in the future.
Fortunately, Fanxing Software Company's operating system achieved good results this year, with total operating income reaching 100 billion yuan, surpassing the operating income of enterprise information management systems for the first time.
Then there are various other tool-based application software. Fanxing Software Company knows that if it wants to maintain the original scale of operating income, it must develop new financial resources.
In the past, most employees around the world focused on promoting enterprise information management systems, but now their attention has begun to turn to these previous tools and software.
In the past, Fanxing Software Company was very Buddhist in the management of tool software and did not spend much effort on promotion in this area. However, due to the advanced technology and the really good software, they still occupied a dominant position in their respective fields.
Looking back now, Fanxing Software Company has begun to increase its promotion efforts in this area, causing the business development rate in this area to grow very fast, with total operating income reaching 100 billion yuan.
Although it seems like a lot, this operating income includes office software, personal tool software, industrial design software and engineering design software, which are already well-paid.
Therefore, throughout 1985, Fanxing Software Company's operating income was 300 billion yuan, while the previous year's income was 400 billion yuan, which resulted in a huge decrease in operating income.
Fanxing Software Company has also realized that this situation will become inevitable. They are now starting to cloud-ify their software. In this way, they can bring new application scenarios to users and their income will be much higher than simply selling software. .
However, this kind of cloudization still requires the support of the Internet, and it is difficult to achieve rapid development in the short term. Therefore, this year, it is very good for Fanxing Software Company to maintain the operating income of 1985.
It is basically unlikely to achieve the performance of the previous year again, because the operating system will enter a relatively stable period after the outbreak in 1985, and the annual turnover is estimated to be only about 50 billion yuan.
Not only the operating system, but other tool software will also face this situation, and enterprise management software is unlikely to advance by leaps and bounds again. Now Star Software companies are collectively feeling anxious.
In the online meeting, Liao Xingkai asked Zhao Yi for advice on how to solve this problem. Although as the CEO of the company, it is really inappropriate to ask a boss who is not very responsible, but this also reflects Liao Xingkai's inner anxiety.
This is actually not Liao Xingkai's fault, but the market rules are there, and the scale of the traditional software market is there. A sudden rapid development does not mean that the market will continue like this forever. Sooner or later, it will be saturated.
In fact, it has not been easy for Fanxing Software Company to get to where it is today. In just a few years, it has become the world's leading software giant. Even if its operating income is declining now, it is still a behemoth that others can't match.
However, the decline in operating income is an indisputable fact, and they have never been able to find a breakthrough. Now, in addition to upgrading existing software, they are cloud-based, and these will not immediately make up for the fact that their operating income has declined.
They still don’t know about the smart city brain plan of the Building Block Software Company. Otherwise, they will probably come in and grab the cake regardless of their brotherhood, because the market size of the smart city brain is very large, enough for them to eat.
However, there is no need for two companies to compete in this kind of business, so there is basically no blank business left to Fanxing Software Company.
The Internet business is fine, but Zhao Yi needs to cultivate those new Internet companies first and give them the opportunity to grow and develop. Otherwise, if Fanxing Software Company ends up working against them, they will definitely not be able to do it.
Regardless of the accumulation of technology or the number of talents, Fanxing Software Company has unparalleled advantages. Those companies are just younger brothers in front of him, and they are not at the same level at all.
But if they don't give them some advice, it seems that this online meeting will not end normally. As the boss, it can be said that the interests are all in the left hand and the right hand, so there is not much loss to him.
But for all employees of Fanxing Software Company, the boss's restrictive policy harms their interests, and Zhao Yi has to consider this impact.
Then Zhao Yi began to seriously think about which business could be handed over to Fanxing Software Company so that they could still achieve rapid development, or at least maintain the operating income level in 1984.
In the end, Zhao Yi thought of an industry that could allow Fanxing Software Company to achieve great development again, and that was autonomous vehicle technology.
Although the artificial intelligence technology it provides to Fanxing Software Company cannot achieve L5 level autonomous driving technology, there is still no big problem in achieving L4 level.
It happened that Shenlong Automobile Company's high-end car sales began to hit a bottleneck period. Without the addition of the latest technology, it was unlikely to expand again.
If DPCA is allowed to introduce self-driving technology, it will once again widen the gap between DPCA and other car companies until Fanxing Software's self-driving technology is sold to the outside world.
Moreover, Fanxing Software Company has many inherent advantages in developing autonomous driving technology. That is, their artificial intelligence technology is currently at the leading level, their research is relatively thorough, and they also have leading advantages in algorithms.
Coupled with the world-leading sensor technology of Tiangong Precision Instrument Company and the chip design and manufacturing technology of Tianxing Semiconductor Company, there is no problem at all if you want to make a difference in this area.
These companies are all our brother companies, so cooperation will be very convenient. They can also bring new business needs to the brother companies and increase the business scope and income of these companies. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
However, even if Fanxing Software Company's software has obvious advantages, it is impossible to immediately develop L4 level autonomous driving, which requires a lot of data to support.
Therefore, at the meeting, Zhao Yi described the characteristics of each level of autonomous driving in detail. If Fanxing Software Company wants to achieve results as soon as possible, it can prioritize the development of L1 level autonomous driving technology.
Although this kind of self-driving technology cannot be called self-driving in Zhao Yi's opinion, in this era, it can give consumers a very amazing experience, and there is no problem in using it for Shenlong Automobile Company.
More importantly, L1-level autonomous driving technology does not require much data and does not require a very long period of testing. At the same time, other brother companies can quickly come up with relevant supporting hardware products with their existing technologies.
In other words, Fanxing Software Company can come up with L1-level autonomous driving technology very quickly. Many things are ready-made and can be completed as long as they are integrated.
After slowly upgrading to L2 to L4, there is no need to come up with very advanced autonomous driving technology all at once. This can also give the market a sense of expectation, so why not do it.
With the strength of Fanxing Software Company in software and the strength of Tianxing Semiconductor and Tiangong Precision Instruments in chips and sensors, L1 cars can be put on sale this year.
At the same time, Zhao Yi also asked Fanxing Software Company to expand artificial intelligence application scenarios, such as face recognition, smart maps, etc.
You can also add intelligent functions to your own software system, especially the cloud construction they are currently undertaking, which is very beneficial to the addition of artificial intelligence technology.
This can breathe new life into their original software systems and quickly eliminate those independent software, which can increase their business income.
Moreover, the cloud software does not require a one-time payment and lifetime use, but a membership system with limited usage time, which can continue to bring operating income to Fanxing Software.
After sending Liao Xingkai away, Zhao Yi held an online conference with Zhao Deshang, the head of the precision instrument company.
Tiangong Precision Instrument Company's total operating income in 1985 was 80 billion yuan, an increase of 33% compared to the previous year, which was considered a good performance.
The main reason why they have achieved good results is that the reform of state-owned enterprises is in full swing, which has led to a significant increase in income in this area. Whether it is production lines or machining center equipment, they have purchased quite well.
Coupled with the natural growth of other original businesses, as well as the sensors used in Polaris' tablet computer business, the precision instrument company has achieved good results.
Zhao Yi is very happy that Tiangong Precision Instrument Company can achieve such development results. Because of the special nature of this company, Zhao Yi actually does not have excessive requirements for their operating income.
As long as they can meet the needs of domestic industrial development and the development needs of Zhao Yi's enterprises, they have basically completed the company's tasks and responsibilities.
In fact, this is the case. If you really care about operating income, with Tiangong Precision Instrument Company's world-leading machining center equipment, this export business will reach the current overall operating income.
As for these advantages, Zhao just wants to keep precision instrument companies in the country. The most advanced ones are of course used by his brother companies, and the second-level ones are used by other domestic companies. Only the second-level ones will consider exporting.
Under this business philosophy, Zhao Yi is quite pleased that the precision instrument company's operating income can still achieve such performance.
As for the dissatisfaction of foreign companies with Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, Precision Instrument Company doesn't care at all. Anyway, if they don't sell it, they won't sell it. If the country does not allow the import of its third-tier equipment, they will not force it.
It is this kind of Buddhist business method that gives enterprises and governments around the world a headache. Anyway, if you don't let me, I won't sell it. If you let me sell it, I can only sell low-level equipment.
The problem is that this kind of low-level equipment in the eyes of precision instrument companies is also very advanced equipment in other countries, and there are still a lot of companies that want to use their equipment.
This is why Hualong Apparel Company and Huansha Textile Company have still achieved impressive performance growth even though the number of equipment purchased from precision instrument companies has been significantly reduced.
Because a considerable part of it is contributed by foreign companies, of course the domestic economy has developed for so many years, and the domestic market also has certain potential. Especially the reform of state-owned enterprises in 1985 has made this demand even stronger.
However, the reform of state-owned enterprises has just begun last year, and the demand has not yet exploded. This year and for a long time to come, the domestic market demand will make the precision enterprises have a good harvest.
According to this development trend, it is certain that the operating income of precision instrument companies will exceed 100 billion yuan this year. Moreover, precision instrument companies have no worries about running out of business because other companies are coming to buy their equipment.
Compared with the arrogance of Precision Instrument Company, Tianxing Semiconductor Company appears to be much weaker. Although in the eyes of the outside world, they are still extremely strong. After all, they dominate 70% of the global logic chip market.
This is already quite an achievement, and the rest is divided up by other companies, large and small, and the majority of it is also occupied by Optimus Semiconductor.
Throughout 1985, Tianxing Semiconductor Company created an operating income of 150 billion yuan. Not only did it not decrease due to the competition from Qingtian Semiconductor, it also increased its revenue by 20 billion yuan.
This is quite an achievement. This is not only the market's recognition of Tianxing Semiconductor Company, many people habitually buy their products, but also the reason why the market growth rate is accelerating.
But at the meeting, Lin Aiguo was still not satisfied with the result, but they didn't know where the next breakthrough would be. Although they didn't directly ask the boss for advice like Liao Xingkai did at the meeting, their expressions and tone showed it clearly.
Fortunately, Zhao Yizheng was preparing to talk to him about intelligent driving. If Fanxing Software Company wanted to come up with the finished system as soon as possible, it could not do without the support of Tianxing Semiconductor Company, which also brought new business growth to Tianxing Semiconductor.
In fact, Tianxing Semiconductor can also expand its business in the field of smart chips, but it still needs to open up artificial intelligence. Only artificial intelligence requires a large number of smart chips for training.
It’s just that Zhao Yi has no plans to open up artificial intelligence at present. Many of his companies are still in the exploratory stage. There are not many mature products on the market, and he has not established his own competitive advantage.
Of course, the intelligent systems and software written by Zhao Yi himself are not included. After all, these technologies will not appear on the market.
More importantly, the outside world has not realized that artificial intelligence has developed to this point. When they realize this problem, they will definitely invest a lot of manpower and material resources in research and development.
After a period of research and development, it is found that it still cannot keep up with the artificial intelligence technology of Zhao Yi's companies, and then Fanxing Software Company will be forced to make the artificial intelligence technology public.
However, this is only Zhao Yi's personal guess, but no matter whether this situation will happen or not, he has already made preparations in this regard and will see what happens when the time comes.
Another company that is as impressive as Tiangong Precision Instrument Company is Cornerstone Materials Company.
Because this company has a lot of advanced material products, other companies come to seek cooperation, but not all materials are sold out.
Moreover, Zhao Yi has no special requirements for the operating income of Cornerstone Materials Company. As long as they can meet the material needs of their own companies, they have achieved the most basic task requirements.
As for expanding business income, it is a secondary consideration, and the materials used for takeout are basically not particularly advanced materials. Even so, the level of materials is still much higher than the existing materials on the market.
In 1985, the operating income of Cornerstone Materials Company reached 400 billion yuan, which was much higher than the 300 billion yuan in the previous year.
The biggest contributions here are from Shenlong Automobile Company, Star Power Company and Star Express Company. Others are the surge in orders from Tiangong Precision Instrument Company.
Shenlong Automobile Company's latest top-end car sales have been a great success, and many of the top-grade materials in it come from Cornerstone Materials Company, which has contributed a lot to Cornerstone Materials Company's business growth.
Due to the large increase in aircraft orders in 1985, Star Express Company's order demand for Cornerstone Materials also increased significantly, contributing good operating income to Cornerstone Materials.
In other words, the substantial increase in the operating income of Cornerstone Materials Company is due to the benefits brought by the business expansion of its brother company. It also shows that Cornerstone Materials Company's income from take-out materials is very low.
However, there is one company that has also contributed good income to Cornerstone Materials Company, and that is Haiyan Shipping Company. This year, Haiyan Shipping Company manufactured 20 300,000-ton oil tankers for Huaxia Petrochemical Company.
Now, because Huaxia Petrochemical Company's fertilizer business is very good, their demand for natural gas continues to rise, and Haiyan Shipping Company is starting to build LNG ships for them.
At that time, as a major material supplier, Cornerstone Materials' performance will also see a large increase. After all, all the materials for these ships are not only large in quantity, but also very profitable.
Of course, in 1986, what Cornerstone Materials Company was most looking forward to was the urbanization construction of China Housing Corporation and the country's large-scale infrastructure projects.
This not only involves many common materials, but also involves the sales of their special strains and special paints. This business will bring them a lot of operating income in the future. (End of chapter)
