Bankrupt?!
Director Fang was shocked. Things have become so serious?
Also, what did Feng Yu say? Pagers will be obsolete in five years? How is this possible?
The pager business is booming now, and there were more than 16 million new users last year. There are so many pager stations all over China, and how can it be obsolete in five years?
"Feng Yu, are you saying that mobile phones will replace pagers?" Director Fang saw Feng Yu staring at the mobile phone on the table and asked.
"It is not possible. It is certain. Why do people use pagers? It is because they want people to find them when they are out in the world. Mobile phones can solve this problem. Do you think mobile phones are expensive? But text messages are not expensive. Instead of asking the pager station to forward your message, you can just send a text message. "
"That's not right. The prices of pagers had dropped to less than 2,000 RMB now, and the cheapest mobile phone costs more than 6,000 RMB."
"Director Fang, when pagers cost 4,000 to 5,000 RMB, the average person's annual income is less than 1,000 RMB. That means an ordinary worker will need to work hard for four years to afford a pager. Why are so many people able to afford pagers now? It is because the prices of pagers are dropping, and people's income is increasing. Our country's economy is getting better, and there are more middle-income families. Why don't they use the better communication devices? Besides, how do you know that the price of the mobile phone won't drop below 2,000 RMB like the pager? "
"What? Mobile phones can drop to less than 2,000 RMB?! " Director Fang's eyes opened wide. How much is the cost of a mobile phone? The profits are too high.
"I am talking about the future. Just look at pagers. When we first developed them, the cost is around 2,000 to 3,000 RMB. But now, the cost is less than 1,000 RMB. Only our new high-speed Chinese typewriter costs more than 2,000 RMB. The cost of pagers can drop so much in two to three years. Why can't mobile phones do the same? "
"But a few days ago, Minister Zhao from the Ministry of Information Industry reported that the number of pager users in China will increase by more than 15 million annually in the next two years."
"I believe the number of new users will reach this number. But don't forget that there are still people who have closed their accounts." Feng Yu smiled at Director Fang.
Director Fang paused for a second and remembered that he was one of the people who closed his account. In that case, this data was very exaggerated. Just like the number of births and deaths, there were many births, but there were even more deaths.
Most of those who had closed their accounts had chosen to buy mobile phones. This meant that the potential of the mobile phone market was huge!
Hmm, I can't approve the pager manufacturer's network access permit anymore. But I can encourage the mobile phone's network access permit. If so many pager users were to be converted to mobile phone users, it would be a huge industry. Feng Yu would not be able to earn all the money, and it would be taken away by those foreign brands.
"Why? Director Fang is thinking of encouraging the development of mobile phone companies?" Feng Yu smiled and asked.
"That's right. Your production capacity can't fill the domestic market, right?" Director Fang is not embarrassed at all. Anyway, he is not making money for himself. He is doing this for the country.
"Of course not. It's a good thing to have more mobile phone companies, and the market will prosper faster. But if those pager manufacturers continue to produce mobile phones, they will only be able to make some money during the boom period and will still be finished. "Feng Yu replied.
Director Fang was unhappy. "You are saying that you are the only one who can develop your company and not others? I admit that your company is doing well, but you can't look down on others. "
Those companies are state-owned enterprises and have the support of the local government. Why can't they develop? They can only make some money during the boom period, and they will be finished in the future. I don't believe it!
"Director Fang, did you notice anything in common between all my companies?" Feng Yu asked.
"Common? Is your brand doing well? "Director Fang guessed.
"That's right. This is important, but not the most important. Our companies focus on R&D, and we must make our technologies more advanced. The salaries of our core technicians are higher than some middle managers. Have you forgotten what the Great Man said? Technology is the number one productivity! Have those companies that follow the trend value their technologies? "Feng Yu replied with disdain.
"Why not? They also have experts from the local research institutes." Director Fang thought to himself. Do you think only your company has experts?
"I believe they have experts. Maybe some of those experts are more advanced than our R&D staff. But how many experts do they have? A professor and a few graduate students are considered a research team? Do you know how many R&D staffs are in Aiwa Electronics? Just Hua Xia has more than a hundred R&D staffs, and some are from the former Soviet Union and Japan. Also, we have the help of other companies to develop mobile phones. Those companies also have a few hundred R&D staffs. That means we have more than a thousand R&D staffs to develop this mobile phone. "
"It's only a mobile phone. We can just buy a new one and disassemble it. Why do we need so many people?" Director Fang does not believe Feng Yu.
Why do we need so many R&D staffs for a small phone? Feng Yu is bragging.
Of course, Feng Yu was bragging, but he was not lying. Wind & Rain Electronics, Aiwa Electronics, Wind and Rain Home Appliances, Aiwa Home Appliances, etc. have about 2,000 R&D staffs. But only a few hundred staffs are working on this mobile phone project, and only a few dozen core staffs are working on it. Most of them are working on R&D to improve this mobile phone's specifications to catch up with overseas electronics companies.
"Those companies are thinking the same as you. That's why those companies can only eat the leftovers. We eat the meat, and they can only drink the soup. When we eat another piece of meat, they are still drinking the soup. Even when the soup goes bad, they still have to drink it because they have nothing else to eat. We are rearing our own pigs and selling them for money. We can kill the pigs whenever we want to eat meat. As for those companies, they can only wait for us to kill the pigs and stew the meat. After that, they will drink the soup or get some worthless offal to eat. "
Director Fang is about to say something, but Feng Yu waved his hand and continued. "There is an old saying in business. If others don't have it, I will have it. If others have it, I will be the best. What have they achieved? If they are not Hua Xia companies, I will start a price war and make them suffer losses. Those companies do not have the technologies and funds. They can only rely on their salesmen to sell their products. What do you think they can achieve? I can stop them, but what about those foreign companies? What will happen to those companies when they are suppressing them? "
Why did Feng Yu give in to those companies? It is because the market is big enough, and Feng Yu does not need to suppress others. His products can also be sold, and his products can compete with Wind and Rain and Aiwa brands. Of course, it is also one of Feng Yu's motives to let those companies compete with the imported products.
But Feng Yu cannot say it like this. He must show that he is wise!
Director Fang kept quiet. So, Feng Yu had been giving in to those companies. Feng Yu is quite kind to him. Was the prosperity of those enterprises a false prosperity on the surface?
