Chapter 870: Raising the Tariff Stick
Fang Chen blinked his eyes and asked cautiously, "What aspect of my situation are you referring to?"
He has done a lot of things, and the ghost knows what this old man wants to talk about, what if this old man has a wrong head and wants to talk to him about his studies, feelings, and family?
"In terms of communication equipment. Dean Zhu said expressionlessly.
Even if he is such a determined person, at that moment just now, he still has the urge to knock Fang Chen to death, this kid is really too annoying, and he actually had a sloppy fight with him.
What can he talk to about him?
I can't talk to Fang Chen, how Fang Chen kissed me and me with his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, the two of them have no guesses, childhood sweethearts.
But in this way, Fang Chen has a successful career at a young age, and he also has a sensible, intelligent, and willing girlfriend who is willing to pay for him, a proper winner in life.
What he can talk to Fang Chen about, in addition to these national affairs, that is, Fang Chen's economic empire, and among them, the communication equipment that is really worth talking about is the communication equipment, and Xiaobawang is not among them.
Xiaobawang does make money, it is the first private enterprise in China, the first high-tech enterprise, but in the final analysis, the production is only some consumer electronic products, which can only be regarded as enriching the cultural, sports and entertainment life of the broad masses of the people.
Maybe one day he will take the time to go to Lingnan to inspect the work, and go to Xiaobawang once, but that's all, in his heart, the importance of Xiaobawang is not even one-fifth of Qingtian Communication.
Of course, the reason why he attaches great importance to Qingtian communication is that in addition to the major strategic significance of modern communication to the country, the most important thing is Fang Chen.
If Qingtian Communications was not a company under Fang Chen's name, it would be difficult for him to imagine that anyone would dare to wage war against the eight national communication equipment giants at the same time, and there would be a possibility of victory.
In particular, Fang Chen's plan to take out 12 billion funds to provide interest-free loans for post offices in various places made him feel trembling, to be honest, if he wanted to take out so much money at once, I am afraid that he would have to hold meetings again and again to make up his mind.
After all, last year's national fiscal revenue was less than 315 billion yuan, which was distributed to the nation's social and public service management, foreign affairs, national defense, public security, education, science, culture, social security, medical and public health, energy conservation and environmental protection, urban and rural community affairs, agriculture, forestry, hydropower, and transportation.
In addition, the more than $8 billion in foreign exchange reserves that the people of the whole country had accumulated with great difficulty in the past few years were spent cleanly in September this year; although he had ordered all departments, the central bank, and state-owned enterprises to conserve foreign exchange, it was a foregone conclusion that he owed 2 billion or 3 billion yuan in foreign exchange funds for the whole of this year.
Although he is the first deputy cabinet minister in charge of economic development, he has less than 20 billion yuan of money in his hands, and this money was spent at the beginning of the year, and now he has less than 3 billion yuan left in his hands, there are still countless local leaders who have run into Beijing to ask for financial support.
However, there are already quite a few, and the provincial-level unit with the largest domestic fiscal revenue is Shencheng, which had a fiscal revenue of only 17.5 billion yuan last year.
In other words, Fang Chen used 4% of China's national fiscal revenue and 60% of the first provincial-level unit of fiscal revenue for this battle.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gehua suddenly felt that he was inferior to Fang Chen, the funds used in Fang Chen's hands were almost the same as him, not to mention, the key was freedom, and he could do whatever he wanted.
"I can only tell you that I am confident that I can win this battle, and although Fujitsu and other international giants are powerful, they are not invincible. Fang Chen said with a firm expression.
For this battle, he not only prepared for nearly two years, but also pressed all the resources he could use, if he lost, he probably only had to be a charter man in Yanjing to go.
From the richest man in the country to an ordinary person with only one hundred and eighty properties, all day long, bored, and can only make a living by collecting rent, Fang Chen's determination is not small, and the risks he takes are not huge!
"You are not alone, and it is impossible for the country to sit idly by and watch you face so many international giants alone. Dean Zhu said in a slow but sincere tone.
"How much money are you going to support me?" Fang Chen's eyes lit up instantly, and he said with a happy brow.
Hearing this, three black lines instantly appeared on Dean Zhu's forehead, and he said angrily: "I'm poorer than you, how can I have money for you, besides, the one billion interest-free loan I gave you before is already the maximum limit I barely squeezed out for you, and it's impossible to ask for any more." ”
"Then you're not making me happy in vain. Fang Chen said with a look of disappointment.
Who believes it, the dignified country is poorer than him.
"I can't give you money, but I can give you the policy. Dean Zhu said helplessly.
How did he feel like he had touched a hob meat, and he couldn't get money, it was this scoundrel's face.
"What policy?" Fang Chen said boredly and uninterestedly.
Previously, Qingtian Communication had won a three-year tax exemption policy, and the rest of the policy was nothing more than various incentives, support and subsidies, but Dean Zhu had already said just now that he had no money, so isn't this a blank check?
"The Council is discussing the imposition of tariffs on imported telecommunications equipment at a rate of about 10 to 15 percent, and if it is approved, it will be submitted to the Diet for approval. Dean Zhu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, this is good news.
As soon as the tariffs were imposed, the costs of companies such as Fujitsu naturally increased, and if they wanted to maintain current prices, they would have to endure a significant reduction in profit margins.
In the past, Fujitsu was able to maintain about 40% of the profits, but after he made a move, it was basically reduced to 30%, which is basically equivalent to cutting one-third to half of the profits if the tariff on imported communication equipment is imposed.
If Fujitsu wants to keep profits, it will have to increase tariffs on the selling price, and if the selling price is raised, it will naturally mean that the competitiveness will be greatly reduced.
In this way, the difficulty of facing the eight communication equipment giants has been reduced from hell to difficult in an instant.
However, this is the meaning of tariffs, which play a role in increasing tax sources and protecting domestic enterprises.
This is several times more powerful than any kind of commercial competition, no wonder the previous life liked to sacrifice the stick of tariffs, nothing to smash this, hammer that.
It's really a trick of tariffs, and it's so easy to use.
Fang Chen suddenly had a deep understanding of the country being the biggest hooligan, this sentence was really too scoundrel.
But he liked it.
"But the key question is, if you repel these international communication equipment companies, can you fill the market vacancies left behind?" said Dean Zhu with a somewhat solemn expression.
Now that the domestic communication construction is developing at a high speed and in full swing, if Qingtian Communication cannot fill the vacancy left by these international communication equipment companies, it will not mean that a fixed part of the tariff will be borne by the post and telecommunications bureau, or ordinary people, which is what he does not want to see.
It is also the reason why Huaxia is so abnormal and has not collected import tariffs from these international communication companies.
As a matter of fact, what he also wants to collect is that if these international telecommunications enterprises collect more than 20 billion yuan in revenue in China a year, and if they collect tariffs of 10 to 15 percent, won't it mean that they will increase the state's fiscal revenue by about 3 billion yuan?
However, the domestic telecommunications equipment enterprises are not enough to support the development of Huaxia's telecommunications construction, and if he collects tariffs from these international telecommunications equipment enterprises, these international telecommunications equipment enterprises will be added to the local post and telecommunications bureaus.
Whoever let Huaxia communication equipment enterprises have no one to play, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau can only purchase foreign equipment.
However, the post and telecommunications bureau added it to ordinary people.
This will naturally dampen the enthusiasm of ordinary people to install fixed telephones, and will affect the development of domestic telecommunications construction.
Such a meaningless thing, he would rather not do.
But now the situation is different, Qingtian Communications has appeared, and it seems that the technical strength and production strength are not bad, and there is a possibility of competing with international communication equipment companies.
He also moved his mind to collect tariffs.
In other words, it was Fang Chen who gave him the feasibility of collecting tariffs on imported communication equipment.
But the question is, can Fang Chen completely drive these international communication equipment giants out of China and wipe them out?
If he can't, or if there is a large part of the vacancy, then this tariff may be much less, after all, he is not willing to impose tariffs on ordinary people, which is something that only the old society can do.
Fang Chen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Let me tell you the bottom of it, the current annual production capacity of Qingtian Communication is 3.6 million lines, and I am confident that it will increase to about 5 million lines by this time next year." ”
"Five million lines, isn't that enough?" Dean Zhu's face instantly turned happy.
This year, the number of exchange lines scheduled in Huaxia is only 5 million lines, although it will increase some next year, but you must know that in addition to Qingtian Communications, Huaxia also has two joint ventures, Yanjing Cable Power Plant and Shencheng Alpha, and the increase in the part can definitely be filled by the two companies together.
But after thinking about it, Dean Zhu suddenly had a look of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "After a year, can Qingtian Communications really only add 1.4 million lines?"
Increasing production by 40% a year is already very good for other companies, and it can even be said to be fast, but this is by no means the speed of Qingtian Communications.
Seeing this, Fang Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that he still hadn't hidden this second outstanding pavilion in Huaxia.
In just one year, Qingtian Communication has built a huge modern factory building from scratch from a flat bottom, during which it has also experienced overcoming the difficulties encountered in the mass production of 04 machines and opening the experimental bureau, and has also reached the output of 3.6 million lines.
How can it be that in the new year, we will do nothing, focus on sales and increase production capacity, but only increase the production capacity of 1.4 million lines.
To put it mildly, with the current in-depth research on switches, the development of science and technology, and the continuous reduction of costs and efficiency increase, Qingtian Communications will be able to increase the production capacity of 1.4 million lines by adding some small changes on the existing basis.
In fact, he has in mind the increase in production capacity of Qingtian Communications next year, with the goal of 3 million lines.
Well, that's right, the increase of 5 million lines, the total production capacity of 6.6 million lines, this is the strength that Qingtian Communications should have.
In other words, even if he doesn't have confidence in himself and Qingtian Communications, he should have confidence in Foxconn.
Foxconn's ability to fight against the army, no, it has gone to Taiwan, and Foxconn's ability to increase production capacity is simply unsurpassed in the world.
With Foxconn as his own production guarantee, it is really how bold a person is, how productive the land is, as long as he dares to set a goal, then Foxconn will dare to accidentally achieve it for him.
This is also the reason why he has to invest in Foxconn.
And in his prediction, Huaxia's demand for communication equipment and telephones exceeded all expectations.
Take history as an example, in the previous life, the number of communication equipment construction doors next year was 6 million lines, not 5 million lines.
And in 1996, it did not come to an end as those experts and professors predicted, but quickly broke through the 10 million door line, and in the millennium, it broke through to 20 million lines, making Huaxia's telephone penetration rate increase from the expected 5% to 50%, which is ten times the expected value.
And in this life, there is such a big-stirring stick as Qingtian Communication......
No, how can you describe your company like this, even if Qingtian Communications is not a wishful golden hoop stick, then at least it is a chaotic Aya who has disturbed the peace of the East China Sea, right?
There is such a big variable as Qingtian Communication, and he not only lowered the price of the switch, but also the initial installation fee of the phone.
In this way, there must be more people who have the ability and are willing to install fixed telephones than in the previous life, maybe in 1998, the installation of Huaxia switches will break through to 20 million lines, and next year it should reach 8 million lines.
The reason why he is reluctant to expose the real output of Qingtian Communications next year to Dean Zhu is because if according to the estimated installation of 5 million lines next year, Qingtian Communication is not only one, but it can meet the demand for all switches in the country next year, and there is a huge surplus of 1.6 million lines.
Dominance means monopoly, which is something that no country in power wants to see, especially in an industry as high as communication equipment.
Therefore, he had to keep his head a little quieter.
But it seems that he still hasn't hidden it from Dean Zhu.
Dean Zhu looked at the teacups on the table with a solemn expression, while Fang Chen waited honestly on the side, the two of them seemed to be a completely still picture.
