Chapter 896: Money Cow!
Huaxing Group Co., Ltd. is the largest industrial giant in China, and its Sanyangxue Company has a strong finishing strength in optical devices, and the technology accumulated in the fine grinding mold and abrasive and fine grinding process is also used in the processing of sapphire glass.
It is precisely because of this that the efficiency and yield of the sapphire fairing processed by the factory have reached an extremely high level.
Last year, the factory produced 1,000 sapphire fairings, which is far from meeting the requirements of missile exports, and the country of peace last year will launch 200 fighter planes and unmanned aerial vehicle platforms in a month, and the consumption is very huge.
The optical window on the precision-guided bomb also requires a large amount of sapphire glass, and the consumption in this regard is also very large.
Now Huake Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. exports hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles and fighter jets a year, and these weapons platforms need to carry a large number of missile weapons and ammunition, which also causes the export of weapons and ammunition to soar, and the demand for sapphire by domestic military industrial groups is also rising sharply.
Another reason is that the demand for sapphire glass in the domestic light-emitting diode lighting industry is also very huge.
It is the demand for sapphire glass from the huge domestic industry, and now the global price of sapphire glass has risen several times.
In order to reduce costs and get rid of dependence on imports, Yang Jie also instructed the company's sapphire glass factory to conduct research and development on sapphire production equipment and processes to prepare sapphire ingots of larger size.
During the inspection of the design and R&D department, the design and R&D department also reported to Yang Jie the progress of the growth furnace and growth process of the 350-kilogram sapphire ingot.
Yang Jie also encouraged these engineering and technical teams.
The larger the size of the sapphire crystal, the higher the utilization rate of the material, the smaller the corner loss, especially in the application of more than 6 inches of substrates and large-size panels, the advantages are more obvious, compared with the 80 kg sapphire crystal, the development of 350 kg sapphire crystal is expected to be reduced by more than half if the yield is the same after mass production.
This can ensure that the company's supply of sapphire will not be affected by market price fluctuations in the future, and the company will still have enough profit margins even after the sapphire price drops to a very low level after overcapacity.
When Yang Jie received a call from the company's headquarters after leaving the factory, he asked the driver to turn around and rush to the company's headquarters.
When Yang Jie entered the conference room, Hu Huanzhi, Luo Zhen, Li Chaoyang and others who were in a meeting stood up.
Yang Jie smiled and waved his hand, and came to Song Manli's side and sat down.
"Go ahead and have a meeting. ”
Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.
Li Chaoyang, who presided over the meeting, continued to talk about the content of the meeting just now.
"Our Huaxing group company has achieved great success in the combination of software store business and hardware products in recent years, and now many mobile phone manufacturers have imitated us to carry out the same business, and now Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and other companies are in their own mobile phone platform to establish a mobile phone software store, in the next few years, these companies will share a large share of the mobile phone software store market. ”
As Li Chaoyang said, in the past two years, these mobile phone manufacturers have seen that Huaxing Group's mobile phones have become famous in one fell swoop by relying on mobile phone software stores, changing people's perception of traditional mobile phones, and various fun applications are extremely sticky to customers, and they have countless "fruit fans" all over the world.
Because now Huaxing Group has unified the company's logo, the logo pattern is very similar to a strange fruit, and Huaxing Group's product lovers also call themselves "fruit fans".
Before you know it, the software store platform under Huaxing Group has more than one million applications in seven or eight years.
Huaxing Group provides a variety of development tools to third-party software vendors, and has been taking the software store and the revenue sharing ratio with developers from 30:70, the revenue of the software store reached 27 billion US dollars last year, and Huaxing Group itself earned 8.1 billion US dollars, which has become a cash cow of Huaxing Group and the most profitable application platform in the world.
Such achievements have made many mobile phone manufacturers and computer manufacturers jealous, and they have also started their own application platforms.
Last year, Huaxing Group paid 18.9 billion US dollars to developers, an increase of 30% over the previous year, since the opening of the software store, Huaxing Group has paid more than 70 billion US dollars to application developers, and a large number of domestic third-party software companies have distributed more than 20 billion US dollars over the years, North America has received more than 30 billion, and software developers in Europe have also received more than 10 billion US dollars.
It is precisely this situation that has led to an explosive growth in the domestic software industry, and all major universities across the country are expanding the enrollment scale of software majors, and even the teaching materials are written around the development kit of the Kylin system, and it is also feeding a large number of domestic software companies.
Although only a few applications downloaded by Huaxing Group in the domestic software store can earn tens of millions of dollars, and only a few applications have revenues of more than $100 million, most of the other applications cannot make money at all, or even if they do their best to charge users, they hardly make money, but it also makes the domestic software industry quite prosperous.
At present, many domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers and computer manufacturers have entered this market, especially in the face of opponents like Nokia, the company's headquarters still attaches great importance to this.
In recent years, Huaxing Group has continued to encroach on Nokia's mobile phone market share at the same time, Nokia, the mobile phone overlord, was ready to use machine sea tactics to deal with at the beginning, and launched dozens of mobile phone models a year, but the homogenization of these mobile phones is very serious, and the software is not the opponent of Huaxing Group at all, and the sales of mobile phones have plummeted in a few years, and now it is very close to Huaxing Group in terms of sales.
Wang Jianhua, who is in charge of marketing at the head office, also asked the staff to use a projector to show the content in the Nokia mobile phone app store.
The Nokia Store is divided into four main categories, and in the main interface, consumers can get the recommended apps provided by the Nokia Store, which includes both mobile software and mobile games.
In the category, there are paid software and free software, click on one of the software to enter, you can see the detailed introduction of the application and support to view the comments of netizens for this application.
In each type of application, the Nokia Store will divide it into popular free, best-selling products, new products and other content, which provides great convenience for novice users.
Overall, the Nokia Store is doing well, offering more than 50,000 applications in total.
Because there is no online payment system support, Nokia now mainly cooperates with telecom operators to collect software fees from users' phone bills.
