Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 172 Aerospace (4.7k)

The best-selling PHS base station equipment and PHS mobile phones have made Wujiang Group a lot of money. The profitability of PHS is second only to the game business of Wujiang Group.

If the research and development costs are not included, the production cost of the PHS mobile phone is actually only 200 yuan, and the domestic price is 5000 yuan. The profit is very high.

The cost of a complete set of PHS base stations is only about 1 yuan, but the selling price is 10 yuan.

So far, Wujiang Group has created amazing revenue through PHS: about 460 billion RMB!

Among them, about half of the income comes from Japan.

At this time, PHS is more popular in Japan than in China, not because Chinese people don't like PHS, but because they can't afford it.

Therefore, the main consumers of PHS are still Japanese.

In the previous life, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Information Industry, as of the end of August 2006, the number of PHS users in China reached 8 million.There are more than 9300 million overseas PHS users.Global PHS users have exceeded 700 million.

In this life, if there are not three or four million PHS users, it is a failure.In the previous life, PHS was only opened for operation in July 1995.It is now 7, 1988 years earlier! ! !
7 years is enough for PHS to grow wildly all over the world!
It is worth mentioning that when Motorola mobile phones cost tens of thousands of dollars, a PHS mobile phone worth several thousand dollars suddenly appeared. This huge gap has made countless consumers feel that buying a PHS is a big deal. .

As a result, many people are scrambling to buy PHS mobile phones, for fear of missing this opportunity.This is also one of the reasons for the explosion of PHS mobile phones.

As PHS has swept the world, more and more people have seen business opportunities.

Telecom companies around the world have purchased PHS base station equipment from Wujiang Communication Technology Company, and some companies have purchased PHS patent licenses from Wujiang Communication Technology Company.

All in all, everyone wants to get a share of the PHS market.

The explosion of PHS, I am afraid it will come soon.

……

……

As we all know, before the emergence of a decent competitor, Motorola, which was in a monopoly position, was very aggressive... Even in the early 90s in the previous life, the price of a Motorola mobile phone was still tens of thousands of dollars.

At this moment, the PHS developed by Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. teaches people to be a man and not to be too Motorola in business... Otherwise, they will make a lot of money!

For now, Motorola still has no plans to cut prices.However, they have developed a new generation of mobile phones. To be precise, they should be regarded as mobile phones, and there is no need to carry "big bricks" by hand.

The MicroTAC personal cellular phone is the latest masterpiece of Motorola. It is very innovative in design. It is the world's first flip phone. Its volume and weight are greatly reduced, and it has become a real handheld mobile phone. Lingtong-1" is a little smaller.

There is no doubt that this phone is definitely a classic that is popular all over the world!

Motorola has developed MicroTAC and is preparing to enter mass production, which will be available next year.

This is why Motorola is not afraid of PHS.

However, the MicroTAC personal cellular phone was expensive in the previous life, as high as $3995.

The international price of the PHS mobile phone is only 2500 US dollars, which may seriously affect the sales of MicroTAC.

……

When Zhao Ye saw Wujiang Microelectronics' latest report, he looked happy and helpless.

"I found that it is really difficult for Wujiang Microelectronics to carry out the wafer foundry business!" Zhao Ye said with emotion, "The new wafer factory has just been built, and there is no time to start the wafer foundry business. , and have to meet the group’s own chip needs first, it’s really too difficult!”

"The outbreak of the PHS industry chain and the rise of Wujiang's program-controlled switches require hundreds of millions of chips.

Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is also gradually expanding the fab, so as not to do a good job in the foundry business and suffer heavy losses.

But now it seems that the steps are still small! "

"In addition, the VCD and PC projects are about to be completed. By then, I'm afraid that more chips will be consumed!"

"Therefore, Wujiang Microelectronics has to continue to build new fabs..."

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The speed of expansion should not be too blind. Once the second-generation home game consoles are launched, a large amount of chip production capacity should be freed up for foundry business. !"

Wujiang Group's second-generation home game console, code-named "Tomahawk", is no longer a game cassette, but a CD-ROM as the game storage medium.

In other words, Wujiang will no longer specially produce chips for game cartridges of home game consoles in the future.

You know, there are many chips on each game cartridge, including EPROM, MMC chips, etc...

So far, the sales volume of "Qongqi Home Game Console" has exceeded 1.5 million units.

May I ask, can the sales of game cassettes be less?How many chips will be used?

Assuming that each game console corresponds to 20 game cartridges, at least 30 billion game cartridges have been sold.

In addition, there are handheld Gameboys, arcade machines, and corresponding game cartridges.

Then count the domestic characteristic "learning machine" and pirated game cassettes.

All of these add up to consume a huge amount of "core".

Therefore, once the game industry achieves technological upgrades, it will surely free up huge chip production capacity.

Not only will CD-ROM replace game cartridges in home consoles, but NAND Flash will also replace Gameboy game cartridges.

As for MMC game screen enhancement chips, they are transferred from game cartridges to game consoles, so the demand is naturally much less.

Cough cough, in fact, when developing the first generation of home game consoles, the MMC chip could be directly integrated into the motherboard of the home game console, but as a capitalist, if you do this, it seems a bit unqualified.

It is precisely because of the MMC chip that it is reasonable for game cassettes to be expensive.Otherwise, how to explain to consumers that Borderless game cartridges are more expensive than Nintendo game cartridges?Where is it expensive?
However, CD-ROM is used as a game storage medium, and the MMC chip can only be installed on the game console, so there is no way to continue to squeeze wool as before.

Gameboy’s game cartridges can still continue to be used. The second-generation Gameboy will also use game cartridges as game storage media, but at that time the storage chip will be replaced by NAND flash memory, which can accommodate larger games and greatly reduce The number of EPROM memory chips...

Zhao Ye thought over and over again, and still felt that Wujiang Microelectronics could only build a new fab for the time being.Otherwise, when the game industry is upgraded and the huge chip production capacity is freed up, the whole world will not be able to digest it...

He immediately wrote his opinions behind Wujiang Microelectronics' report, including his predictions and concerns about future market changes.

After finishing writing, he asked Liu Yinyin to send a fax to Wujiang Microelectronics Company.

Just after finishing these things, his phone rang.

The outside world probably never expected that the boss of Wujiang Group is still using products from rival Motorola.There is no way to do this, unless the mobile phone developed by Wujiang Group is launched on the market.

PHS cannot roam and can only make local calls. If you want to contact other places, it is best to use a Motorola mobile phone.

The call was connected quickly, and Liao Xinghua's voice came from the opposite side.

Liao Xinghua's main position now is the general manager of Asia Satellite Company.

When Zhao Ye looked at the caller ID, he couldn't help being slightly surprised, and said, "Mr. Liao, hello, call me today, is there any good news?"

Liao Xinghua nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, I do have good news for you!"

After a pause, Liao Xinghua said happily: "At this time, the American insurer has finally agreed to our Asia Satellite Company's acquisition of the Houston company's communication satellite for US$1500 million!"

"Wow, this is really good news!" Zhao Ye smiled, paused slightly, and asked, "When will this communication satellite be launched into the sky?"

"Probably wait until June next year..." Liao Xinghua thought for a while, replied, and then added, "For the time being, this satellite will be improved technically in Houston to adapt to Asian communications. During this period, it will take about two It will take a month, and then it will take another two months to transport it back from the United States. Finally, it will take two to three months to prepare for the launch of the satellite..."

"Okay, I have no problem. By the way, has CITIC contacted the domestic rocket launch company?"

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, we have already contacted the rocket launch company in the mainland, there should be no problem!" Liao Xinghua assured with a smile, patted his chest.

"Well, that's good." With the ability of CITIC Group, there are probably not many things that they can't do in China. I'm envious.Zhao Ye thought to himself, if he could establish an aerospace company in China, that would be great!By the way, I will go to the leader to find out in a while.

Liao Xinghua said: "I don't have anything else to do. Mr. Zhao is busy, so I hung up the phone!"

"Okay, Mr. Liao. Goodbye!"

Zhao Ye hung up the phone, and immediately opened the phone book to find the number of the boss of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and dialed it.

"With Wujiang's current status, the country should value it very much. It should welcome Wujiang Group's entry into the aerospace industry..." Zhao Ye muttered to himself.

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Hello leader, I'm Zhao Ye."

"Hello, Xiao Zhao, we haven't been in touch for a long time, why did you think of calling me today, is there something wrong?" the leader asked with a smile on his face.

Zhao Ye didn't hold back, and said straight to the point: "Leader, Wujiang Group wants to enter the aerospace market, do you think it's feasible?"

When the leader heard the words, he was stunned for a while, private companies entering the aerospace market?This... is not to say that it is impossible to enter, but the threshold for aerospace is very high, how can ordinary enterprises enter this industry.

While the leaders were still thinking about it, Zhao Ye said: "A large number of companies in the United States, such as Raytheon Technologies, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Houston, have entered the aerospace industry, thus promoting The rapid development of the American aerospace industry!"

"And what about our country? As far as I know, China's aerospace industry invests only 20 billion yuan a year, and such a small amount of money is used for manned spaceflight projects, lunar exploration projects, and space stations."

"To be honest, the funds invested are really too little, but I want to do so many things, I am afraid that the gains will not be worth the losses in the end!" Zhao Ye sighed.

China's aerospace industry is often said to be cheating funds.

In fact, in most cases, it is just that the funding is too small, so scientific research results cannot be produced.Later, when the country became rich and the investment in the aerospace industry increased, China gradually became a major aerospace country.

However, Zhao Ye wants to promote the development of China's aerospace industry. There are not only Zhao Ye's dreams, but also huge benefits.

If possible, simply do the aviation business and develop civil aviation aircraft.

Zhao Ye's ambitions are huge. As a bigwig in technology, how can he show that he is awesome if he doesn't build airplanes.

Anyway, the country does not have the ability, or does not have the energy to develop civil aviation aircraft, so it is better to hand over this task to Wujiang Group.

Otherwise, it has been spending an expensive price to buy passenger planes from abroad?
At this time, the leader also felt that what Zhao Ye said was reasonable, but such an important matter had to be studied carefully.

"Xiao Zhao, I will seek everyone's opinions on the matter you mentioned. If there is any result, I will contact you as soon as possible!"

"Okay, leader. By the way, leader, I think my country's aviation industry is also developing slowly. As a responsible company, Wujiang Group certainly cannot bear to see this situation continue. Therefore, Wujiang Group is also duty-bound to develop China's aviation industry ah!"

The leader immediately laughed when he heard the words, "Well, you little Zhao, you have a really big appetite. You were in the aerospace industry just now, and now you plan to enter the aviation industry. Are you afraid that you won't be able to digest it?"

Zhao Ye said to himself: "Leader, please rest assured that Wujiang Group will definitely digest it. Under my leadership, Wujiang Group will continue to create wealth and technological miracles. Wujiang is fully capable of developing China's aerospace industry!"

The leader pondered, recalling the Wujiang Group, he still couldn't help feeling a little shocked in his heart.

Wujiang Group is different from other domestic companies that only plan for food at home. Wujiang Group has already gone international. With advanced technology and amazing creativity, it has won a great reputation from many powerful competitors!
It can be said that Wujiang can live without China, and can still rely on foreign markets to live extremely nourishingly, but China cannot live without Wujiang, otherwise, China's technological level will retreat a lot.

And Wujiang Group can have such a situation, thanks to the phone, a super genius who has not appeared in a thousand years.

If Zhao Ye wants to immigrate to the United States, the leaders can't help but wonder whether the United States will welcome them with an aircraft carrier...

……

After Zhao Ye finished the conversation, he turned his head to look north, and his mind was on the Soviet Union.

The Wujiang Group needs a lot of talents to develop the aerospace industry. At this time, only the Soviet Union can provide enough talents for the Wujiang Group.

Digging the corner of China?Of course, it is not impossible to dig.Many scientific researchers live in poverty, and the scientific research department has very little funding.Instead of wasting time, it is better to go to Wujiang Group to shine.

In addition, European and American aerospace talents must also be dug.

As the saying goes, "the sea does not shy away from water, so it can become great."

As for whether Wujiang Group has the financial resources to support the development of the aerospace industry, this is even more of a problem.

The development of Wujiang Group itself is very good, and many products are popular all over the world. In addition, Zhao Ye will not let go of the opportunity of many stock market crashes.

The stock market crash is a crisis to others, but to Zhao Ye, it is simply a cash machine, depending on whether Zhao Ye has a big appetite or not.

No, not only in Japan, Wanjiang Real Estate under the Wujiang Group has almost made its real estate business No. 1 in the real estate industry in Tokyo.

Most of Wujiang’s spare money has been invested in Japanese real estate. It plans to gradually withdraw from the Japanese real estate market starting next year, that is, in 1989.

In Japan's previous life, until 1991, as international capital withdrew after making profits, the Japanese real estate bubble driven by foreign capital burst quickly, and real estate prices plummeted immediately.

Therefore, this gave Wanjiang Real Estate Company more than two years to evacuate, which is enough to ensure the safety of the withdrawal of funds.

The sterling crisis in 1992, the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the Internet bubble in the mid-to-late 90s, etc...

In fact, these crises are all traceable.

Not to mention anything else, only the pound crisis and the Asian financial crisis were caused by Soros seizing the opportunity.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs. It is precisely because of the economic problems in these countries that Soros has an opportunity.

Zhao Ye just wanted to say that Soros is a good pawn, and whether Wujiang Group can make a fortune depends entirely on him.

"The Soviet Union is actually in a mess at this time. There is a shortage of supplies, and many scientific researchers are living in poverty. We should increase penetration, list the priority list of talents needed by Wujiang Group, and let the people there contact these Soviet talents first. , to test their attitudes. At least before they emigrate to Europe and the United States, provide them with another more 'money' option!!!"

The work must be done in advance, and it may not be successful to poach people temporarily.

Zhao Ye has been sending people to the Soviet Union in the name of trade a few years ago. Although Wujiang can't know the talents in the Soviet Union, he has investigated the talents he needs, as well as some scientific research materials and production equipment. .

As long as the time is right, you can dig people and move materials and production equipment more presumptuously.

Of course, it is not impossible to build an aircraft carrier, fighter jets, bombers and so on.

However, this cannot be done in the name of Wujiang Group.

So as not to be sanctioned by "people".
