Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Dormitory 303.

Zhou Huimin's disk was playing quietly inside. Ou Ming and Wei Zisen, who were half drunk and half dazed, were dancing to each other. Zhang Xuan watched happily on the bed. This roommate is really the best.

When the room was busy, the door opened and Shen Fan walked in.

Zhang Xuan asked: Old Shen, why are you back? Are you not guarding your trash?

Seeing this, Wei Zisen and Ou Ming, who were breakdancing, also stopped. Wei Zisen then said, That's right, Lao Shen, aren't you guarding the waste?

Shen Fan said: All the expensive ones were sold out in the first two days. The remaining three dogs are still at home, so it's not a big problem.

Ou Ming asked: Where is Lao Li?

Shen Fan replied: We're on a date.

Wei Zisen was numb: When I went to see him in the afternoon, he was with a junior girl from the school next door. Are you still dating now?

Shen Fan couldn't laugh or cry: Don't look at me like this, I'm not Lao Li, and I don't know either.

the next day.

Zhang Xuan took a car to Tianhe Road early in the morning and met Li Mei for breakfast.

When he met Zhang Xuan, he asked: What can I eat?

Li Mei joked: When people get old, they want to eat something soupy and watery.

Zhang Xuan was speechless and looked at the other person: Then let's go eat soup noodles.

In a rice noodle shop on the street, two people who were not very particular found a seat and sat down.

Li Mei said: I'm going to meet Lao Deng in Wanwan in the afternoon to discuss BYD's shares.

Zhang Xuan asked: In such a hurry?

Li Mei said: It's impossible to hurry up. Lao Deng passed by this morning. He is pressed for time and is in a hurry to go to Singapore.

Zhang Xuan naturally knew why Lao Deng was eager to go to Southeast Asia, and asked: How many shares can you get in BYD?

Li Mei replied: My requirement is not less than 8%, preferably 15%. However, I have dealt with Mr. Wang of BYD many times. He is a very far-sighted person. I estimate that I can get 15% at one time. % shares are in difficulty.”

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: There is no need to pursue high-value stocks. This will easily arouse resistance from the BYD team. Our primary goal is to build our own supply chain and put the rest aside first.

Li Mei agreed: Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion in this matter. It is not advisable to kill the chicken to get the egg.

Then she said: Two days ago, I received a call from Chen Jianguo, the leader of telecommunications.

Zhang Xuan looked up at her, knowing that she must have something important to say.

Li Mei said: The other party said that the price of PHS was cut too fast.

Zhang Xuan frowned: Is that really what the other party said?

Li Mei nodded: I guess this price reduction has touched some people's interests.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not discuss the topic in depth.

Zhang Xuan said: In this case, if there is a price war in the future, you should put more effort into preferential activities.

People are moving dead trees and living things, and the price remains the same and there are more activities. I want to see what else they have to say?

Li Mei smiled: You have the same idea as me, and we also came to this response during the meeting.

Talking about PHS, Li Mei pointed out several difficulties: Due to the popularity of PHS, overseas chips are now rising again and again. If prices continue to rise like this, we will have no advantage in the price war with Nokia and Motorola.

Hearing this, the powder in Zhang Xuan's mouth no longer tasted good.

Seeing his silence, Li Mei analyzed: I guess except for chip suppliers taking the opportunity to drive up prices to obtain high returns and profits.

Perhaps capital pressure from the United States is indispensable, otherwise chips would not have tripled in more than half a year.

Zhang Xuan said: Don't estimate, their presence is definitely inevitable.

Ask: What do you think?

Li Mei put down her chopsticks and said, My idea is to do it ourselves. The chips needed for PHS are not very advanced technologies in the world, so we can do it ourselves.

Don’t you advocate a high degree of self-production of mobile phones? We are not talking about arm wrestling with the chip giants of Japan, South Korea and the United States, but we must also work hard to follow. We cannot just take the lead and others will give you a stick. If this continues, we will all be controlled by others in the future.

Knowing that what she said was true, Zhang Xuan was still resistant to getting chips. In the final analysis, he still felt that this thing was too difficult.

The difficulty is no longer about funding and technology, but about the confrontation between countries, which is really annoying.

But what Li Mei said is right. If someone else is running ahead and you can't even see the tail, in the end it will just be an assembly company.

With the passion that Lao Deng had instilled in him, Zhang Xuan hesitated for a while and then asked: What are you going to do?

Li Mei said: My idea is divided into two steps. The first step is to use Li Wendong's relationship to purchase the required production lines and technologies from abroad. I have learned that the production lines needed for PHS are considered obsolete technologies abroad. With Li Wendong and An A relationship with a long-term club should not be difficult as long as the money is in place.

The second step is to feed war with war. I have calculated that our PHS requires a large number of low-end chips, and Yintai Trading’s LED lighting also requires a large number of low-end chips. These are enough to support our chip projects.

Zhang Xuan understood what she meant: The low-end is gradually moving towards the high-end?

Li Mei nodded and shook her head: I don't dare to have high-end hopes for the time being. I can only say that there is a glimmer of hope. There is a glimmer of hope, which is better than despair.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision: Okay, if you have the intention, just go ahead and do it. I will say hello to Li Wendong later.

In addition, you don’t have to only target Japan for chip imports. You can also try it in South Korea and the United States, with multiple friends and multiple paths.

Li Mei said: PHS patented technology is in the hands of the Japanese.

Zhang Xuan laughed and said: Remember the Hiroshima Agreement a few years ago? As long as the benefits are sufficient, it doesn't matter who holds the patent. They will take care of it themselves.

Li Mei thought this was reasonable: I'll give it a try.

Zhang Xuan said: Yeah, give it a try. If it succeeds, it will be an unexpected gain. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. There is no loss.

Li Mei said: Currently we still encounter a problem.

Zhang Xuan asked: Which question?

Li Mei said: LCD screen technology. Only by implementing this technology can we say that we have achieved a high degree of self-production.

Zhang Xuan said: Where did you buy the goods from before?

Li Mei replied: At the beginning, we purchased the goods from Japan, and the price was very expensive. Later, we obtained the goods from the LCD Technology Engineering Research Institute Center of Tsinghua University. Although this is a new company, PHS itself is not a high-tech mobile phone. Its products can For our PHS needs, the price is much lower from here.”

Zhang Xuan raised his head and asked, What are you doing?

Li Mei said: I have been crazily collecting information on the mobile phone industry recently, and found that in the current field of LCD screens, Japan, South Korea and Wanwan are at the forefront of technology, and have set their sights on the third generation TFT screen. This makes me very happy. It’s greed.”

Zhang Xuan and her were thinking about different things: According to you, if the third generation screen comes out, the price of the second generation will be greatly reduced? This is a good thing for our PHS.

Li Mei said yes: But your ambition is to develop mobile phones. PHS is just a transitional product for us, so I want to look for more cooperation partners here.

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: Since Japan and South Korea are developing this technology, BOE should also be prepared for this. You should have more contact with BOE's senior management.

Li Mei said: Okay, I originally planned to go to the capital to meet Li Wendong when I came back from Wanwan, and then I would stop by BOE.

Zhang Xuan said: At present, mobile phone casings, mounting technology and batteries have been made in China, and the supply chain is in our own hands. If we can make a difference in chips and LCD screens, our mobile phones are worth looking forward to.

Of course, he understood very well that with BOE's presence on the LCD screen, there was a lot of hope. But for high-end chips, this thing is hard to describe.

However, he also figured out that it all depends on human effort, and the step he can take is the step he takes. The worst he can do is produce and sell low-end chips by himself. Anyway, LED lights require a huge amount of chips every year, so he doesn't have to worry about money.
