my return 2002

Chapter 403 Industry Alliance
Shen Lang pressed his hand, signaling to everyone to calm down first, and only opened his mouth when the meeting room became quiet again.

"Instead of complaining here, you might as well consider my previous suggestion."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

In fact, it was proposed during the last technology alliance that all manufacturers should centralize their procurement rights and establish a separate company. This will avoid corruption within the company and reduce procurement costs.

However, at the beginning, Shen Lang only suggested that these mobile phone manufacturers have their own considerations for their own interests, and the interests of large and small manufacturers are not consistent. Without external pressure, these people naturally have no motivation to change.

Seeing this, Shen Lang said slowly: "I think you are all very clear about the quality of these counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers. Users will not buy their products again after being cheated once. Blindly low prices are not a long-term solution. Now The key is how to survive under the impact of their low prices, the decision is in your hands, and it is up to you whether you want to do it or not.”

The bosses of the mobile phone manufacturers present began to discuss. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the means of reporting others for not buying social insurance for their employees were useless at all. Many places still count on these counterfeit manufacturers to contribute to GDP. Close one eye and close both of them, report it, just go through the motions and issue a rectification notice, and then what should they do or what should they do.

The only ones who can save them now are themselves. Under the impact of external pressure, many original differences and even hatred can be put aside.

Of course, it is very difficult for so many mobile phone manufacturers to reach an agreement. Any clause has to be wrangled, and they often start to shoot the table while talking.

Shen Lang didn't intervene and let them quarrel. As long as no one left, let them go. Those who can do business for this purpose are not stupid. Knowing where to compromise and what rights must be fought for is really a little bit The problem couldn't go on, so Shen Lang would mediate again.

To be honest, Shen Lang was a little caught off guard by the sudden strength of the Android camp this time. His attention has been fixed on these regular mobile phone manufacturers.

Negotiations went on for three full days, and an agreement was finally reached. All mobile phone manufacturers handed over the purchase rights of spare parts to a newly established company, each of which will hold shares according to the proportion of market share. At the same time, a team of professional managers will be recruited for management. The company operates normally, unless more than 60% of the board of directors believe that the professional manager team is not good enough, it has the right to remove the professional manager team from their posts.

After the agreement was reached, Xu Lihua was elected as the chairman of the board of directors, and he also raised a question.

"We have such a large quantity, I am afraid that except for a few accessories, it is difficult for a manufacturer to supply."

Shen Lang nodded: "This problem is actually very easy to solve. The parts manufacturers can also form an alliance, and several manufacturers with excellent quality will take orders together and then deliver them in batches. In fact, as long as we gather the orders together, There are many ways to keep costs down."

"If this model works in the later stage, we can even gather factories together to attract the entire upstream and downstream industrial chains to gather, and the logistics cost alone can be greatly reduced."

Xu Lihua nodded convinced: "Mr. Shen is right, we can have more bargaining power by merging orders, and many things will be easier to handle."

The bosses of the rest of the mobile phone manufacturers also agreed, and the matter was considered settled.

This matter quickly alarmed the upstream and downstream manufacturers of the entire mobile phone industry. Everyone knows that this is a huge order, and it is also a difficult bone. If it can be gnawed down, there will be no need to worry about orders in the future. up.

But at the same time, if you can't get this order, you may have to linger on in the future because you can't get a large order.

All the bosses in the mobile phone industry are aware that this is a major change involving the entire upstream and downstream industry chain of the mobile phone. If they do not get a ticket to board the ship, there is a high probability that they will be killed by the waves of the times.

For a while, all the bosses who made accessories in the mainland were in a panic, looking for connections for those with connections, and looking for connections for those without connections, just to get in touch with this newly established "Chuangshi Technology".

However, this company is still just an empty shell. It doesn't even have an office, let alone a person in charge.

Even Wang Dongsheng from BOE couldn't help running to Shen Lang to inquire about the news.

Shen Lang couldn't help teasing: "Mr. Wang, with BOE's strength, who else in the country can compete with you?"

Wang Dongsheng smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Mr. Shen, don't praise me. Now BOE is under a lot of pressure. In order to expand production capacity, I have already thought of all the ways I can think of, including local government, stock market, and bonds. If this Losing such a large order, the stock price collapsed, and BOE will go bankrupt immediately, we really can't afford it!"

This is not because Wang Dongsheng is crying for poverty, but the real situation of BOE. In 2011, BOE invested in a set of 8.5-generation LCD production lines in Beijing, which solved the dilemma that domestic large-size LCD TVs can only import foreign panels, but it also has a heavy burden on it. To be honest, if it weren't for the local financial support, BOE might have collapsed directly.

Shen Lang didn't tease him anymore, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one can compete with you for this order. After all, in terms of cost control, foreign manufacturers can't compete with you at all. Domestic companies with BOE's technical strength and production capacity Almost none, you just have to actively prepare for the bid.”

Although Wang Dongsheng did not get Shen Lang's promise, he was secretly relieved by the news he heard.

Just when Wang Dongsheng was about to get up and leave, Shen Lang suddenly stopped him: "Mr. Wang, it's very chaotic outside now, and rumors are flying everywhere, why don't you come out and make a connection, organize some powerful mobile phone accessories manufacturers, and jointly bid, This way, the chances of winning the bid will be higher.”

The first word that Wang Dongsheng thought of was cartel alliance.

Cartels are also known as monopoly interest groups. For example, the most famous cartel alliance is the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries "OPEC", which controls the international crude oil price through the amount of oil produced, so as to obtain huge profits.

But after thinking about it, Wang Dongsheng felt that something was wrong. One of the prerequisites for a cartel alliance to be achieved was to obtain absolute control over production and sales before it could be formed.

What Shen Lang said is just a loose alliance, although it has a certain monopoly, it is not unbreakable.

Wang Dongsheng thought for a moment that if this matter was accomplished, his status in the business circle would be greatly improved, which would also be beneficial to the development of BOE, so he agreed to give it a try.

After returning from Inspur Group, Wang Dongsheng began to contact some mobile phone accessories manufacturers with close relationship. When these people heard that it was related to the order of "Chuangshi Technology", they immediately ran over.

However, when Wang Dongsheng explained the situation, the atmosphere at the scene became a little weird, almost exactly the same as when Shen Lang suggested to establish "Chuangshi Technology".

There are quite a few manufacturers present who are competing with each other, wishing that the other party would be ruined and they would monopolize the entire market. Naturally, they would not like to share with each other.

Wang Dongsheng said indifferently: "Think about it yourself, anyway, there is no domestic manufacturer that can compete with me, and I don't need to go into this mess."

Said that Wang Dongsheng was about to get up to see off the guests, and someone persuaded him immediately: "President Wang, who doesn't know that your position is unbreakable, aren't we also thinking about how to cooperate, don't worry."

"Yes, Mr. Wang, we are not as big as your family, we have to discuss the regulations."

Wang Dongsheng said casually: "Look at the discussion. Anyway, I'm taking the lead. It's your own benefit if this matter succeeds. If it doesn't work out, if one of you doesn't get an order in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Under the pressure of orders from "Chuangshi Technology", mobile phone accessories manufacturers who originally had their own ideas had to sit down and discuss how to cooperate and take this order.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and soon other mobile phone accessories manufacturers also flocked to it. For a while, Wang Dongsheng had a hint of becoming the leader of the martial arts.

However, since it is a loose alliance organized in order to get orders, there will naturally be some problems. For example, some small and medium-sized manufacturers will be excluded soon, and large manufacturers naturally hope that their allies are more powerful. Not here to take advantage.

In this situation, Wang Dongsheng has no choice. After all, he is only a leader in name, and he himself does not think there is any problem with this. After all, there will be some emergencies in the supply of orders. For example, some manufacturers cannot supply due to accidents. In order not to breach the contract, other manufacturers have to step up, and small and medium-sized manufacturers do not have this ability.

But those small and medium-sized manufacturers don't think so. They feel that they are excluded because large manufacturers want to monopolize the market, so they report to their superiors.

After receiving the report, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology sent an investigation team to understand the situation, and felt a little tricky for a while, because this was a problem they had never encountered before.

Except for the Internet, the domestic industry is generally in the involution mode. Since the mainland has sufficient domestic sales scale, many small and medium-sized manufacturers can survive as long as they occupy the local market, even if they are less powerful.

To put it bluntly, domestic industrialization is not perfect, nor has a complete industrial chain structure been formed. Everyone is frantically involving, frantically reducing costs, using demographic dividends to squeeze employees, and keeping product prices to the lowest.

The industrial chain integration initiated by Shen Lang is precisely to improve the competitiveness of leading manufacturers in the industrial chain. Doing so will undoubtedly harm the interests of small and medium-sized manufacturers, and it is normal for them to report.

The problem facing the investigation team now is that they know that this is actually beneficial to the entire upstream and downstream industries of mobile phones, but they cannot take a laissez-faire attitude. After all, in a sense, this does involve resource monopoly.

And will the seemingly loose alliance now form a cartel in the future?It's hard to say, if you don't care about it now, if you want to intervene in the future, the impact will be too great.

There is no way for the investigation team to report the situation, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is also a bit confused. Who would have thought that so many mobile phone manufacturers and mobile phone accessory manufacturers could form an alliance?

Director Qiu also specially came to Inspur Group to find Shen Lang.

"You, you are throwing us a big trouble."

Shen Lang smiled and said: "I think it should be a generous gift."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Director Qiu asked curiously.

Shen Lang analyzed: "The reason why the technical level of our current hardware manufacturers is far behind international hardware manufacturers is that on the one hand, we developed late and were unable to obtain top-level production equipment and technology due to the impact of the Batumi embargo. It is because domestic hardware manufacturers do not have a clear plan, and everyone is watching international hardware manufacturers do things, and we will catch up when others develop the technology.”

"Because hardware manufacturers are separated from the market by a layer of skin, they don't know what kind of hardware products are easy to sell, and what kind of technical requirements users have for hardware."

"And the alliance I formed is to integrate the entire industry chain. Mobile phone manufacturers design and optimize based on user needs, and at the same time tell hardware manufacturers the needs of users. Hardware manufacturers produce hardware based on the needs of mobile phone manufacturers. At the same time Do the technical research and development of the next generation of products, so as to form a complete industrial chain."

"Now is not the era of small commodity economy, and the pace of globalization is getting faster and faster. If we only do low-end processing business, we will never be able to produce truly high-end products. Isn't the lesson of the subprime mortgage crisis painful enough? "

Director Qiu fell into deep thought. Under the subprime mortgage crisis, areas like Dongguan, where OEM was the main source of income, were brought back to their original shape in an instant. A large number of factories closed down, and the higher-ups also realized that the meager profits earned by OEM were not enough. To support the entire industrial system.

In fact, the current situation in the mainland is very similar to that of Japan in the past. In the period when the economy was underdeveloped, as long as a little bit of industrialization was done, even if it was OEM processing, the GDP would immediately increase, but if you want to go one step further, it is very It is difficult, because developed countries such as Europe and the United States control the upstream of the industrial chain, and they take most of the profits.

Domestic companies can't afford R&D just relying on the processing profits of Weibo, and then they can only fall into an endless loop.

In the end, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology chose a more compromise solution, allowing the existence of such a loose alliance, but also monitoring the bidding to ensure the fairness of the bidding process.

In fact, this plan does not satisfy everyone, and it can even be said that everyone is dissatisfied, but this is the case in modern society. Everyone has their own interests and demands, and a compromise can be reached in the end. Everyone must be dissatisfied. but acceptable results.
