719 [30 Years of Reform and Opening-up]
At the beginning of 2007, some experts predicted that domestic mobile phone brands would disappear by half this year, and the market share of domestic mobile phones would decline further.
This prediction was all wrong!
With the cancellation of the government's approval system for mobile phones, the number of domestic mobile phone brands has soared this year, and many former copycats have also established regular brands. In addition, the threshold for mobile phone design and production has been lowered, and all kinds of gods and demons have appeared, which has turned this year's low-end machine market into a muddy water.
In the second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter, the market share of domestic mobile phones rebounded rapidly, and by the end of the year, it had exceeded 40%.
In the face of this data, major mobile phone manufacturers at home and abroad, as well as experts in the industry, are collectively dumbfounded!
What the heck?
I don't understand it at all.
A few years ago, when the situation of domestic mobile phones was very good, when people were optimistic about the market prospects, there was a sudden cliff-like decline. This year, when everyone collectively sang down, domestic mobile phones suddenly broke out again, and the experts' faces were pumped several times.
In fact, in the final analysis, there is only one core element: the rise of the rural township market!
In the past, there were very few mobile phone users in towns and villages, and anyone who had a copycat phone was considered rich. However, with the complete abolition of agricultural taxes by the state, the overall increase in peasant incomes, and the rapid decline in mobile phone prices and telephone tariffs, hundreds of millions of peasants who can afford mobile phones have suddenly emerged.
These farmers don't care what Nokia or Motorola you are, or what Shenzhou or Lenovo you are, anyway, you can buy a mobile phone that can make calls for two or three hundred yuan.
So the spring of domestic mobile phones is coming again, frantically attacking the rural township market, relying on various promotional activities to snatch food from Nokia and other big brands.
In addition, although China has not officially issued a 3G license this year, it has entered the trial operation stage, and a small number of 3G mobile phones have emerged on the market.
Throughout 2007, Shenzhou Technology shined in the field of mobile phones.
Nokia sold more than 41 million units, with sales of more than 48 billion yuan, with a sales share of about 27% and a sales share of about 28%.
Shenzhou sold more than 28 million units, with sales of more than 34 billion yuan, with a sales share of about 18% and a sales share of about 20%.
Motorola was hit hard by China, with both sales and sales share falling below 8%. Samsung was also suppressed, and its market share was beaten back to about 6%. Lenovo's sales share is barely 4%, but its sales share is less than 2.5%, mainly by selling a large number of low-end machines for a living.
Sony Ai and LG mobile phones, even mixed up are not as good as Lenovo.
Tianyu mobile phone suddenly climbed up this year and poked LG's chrysanthemum, and there were already signs of a strong overtake.
Shenzhou Technology is a god in the mobile phone industry, not only because of the smart phone, but also because of the overall market share climbing. Not only did it kill Motorola, but also more than doubled its market share, truly achieving the revitalization and rise of domestic mobile phone brands!
Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.
Who made Motorola crazy to drop the chain this year, its high-level infighting has been white-hot, and the chairman and CEO are about to be forced out of office by shareholders. In a few months, when the chairman and CEO officially steps down, Motorola will fall into the abyss completely.
Of course, there are two factors.
First, the reputation brought by Shenzhou smart phones is too high, which has greatly increased the influence of the entire brand; second, the national network of Shenzhou flagship stores, after several years of hard work, finally ushered in a sales explosion in 2007.
In early 2008, the Forbes Global Billionaires list was released.
1st place, Warren Buffett, United States, $62 billion.
Second place, Carlos, Mexico, $60 billion.
Third place, Bill Gates, United States, $58 billion.
Fourth place, Song Weiyang, China, $53 billion.
Even though the Chinese people have long been accustomed to the amazing news about Song Weiyang, after the release of this list, it still brought a strong shock again.
Everyone once regarded Bill Gates as an insurmountable immortal, but this year, Song Weiyang's wealth and net worth are only $5 billion lower than Gates. This time, Song Weiyang is not only the richest man in Asia, but also the richest man in Eurasia!
No way, Google's stock price has risen too much.
Even if Song Weiyang cashed out twice in a row according to the agreement, his personal holdings and Taurus Capital holdings combined, still hold more than 20% of Google's shares, and Google's stock price has exceeded $600 at this time.
So much so that when Forbes explained the source of Song Weiyang's assets, it was directly marked as "Google Inc., diversified investment".
For the majority of American people, Song Weiyang's first identity is "Google shareholder", and his second identity is the boss of Shenzhou Technology.
However, these assets are virtual, when the economic crisis in 08 came, Google's stock price will be directly cut in half!
Therefore, at the beginning of 08, Song Weiyang cashed out $3 billion of Google shares again, waiting for a large number of assets to be acquired at the end of the year. These cashed-out stocks do not need to flow into the secondary market, and some companies are willing to take over, and the false prosperity of the US economy has confused many professionals.
And the various investments of Taurus Capital, also under the instruction of Song Weiyang, began to cash out one after another in the fall of 07, only waiting for a year later to wave banknotes everywhere to buy the bottom.
Can Song Weiyang become the richest man in the world?
This topic was first raised in "Dr. Ma", and soon became popular on the Tianya forum, and netizens pushed the post to fly.
"I will definitely be the richest man in the world, Dr. Ma is only 32 years old this year, and he can also boil the people in front of him to death. Shenzhou Technology was so awesome last year, and when the IPO goes public one day, Dr. Ma's net worth skyrocketed by $10 billion in minutes!"
"A skyrocket of 10 billion is a bit hanging, and a skyrocketing of 5 billion is definitely easy. ”
"By the way, why did Bill Gates fall to third this year? I know the first Buffett, and where did the second Carlos come from?"
"Carlos is a Mexican telecommunications tycoon. This guy is not only engaged in telecommunications, but also monopolizes many industries in Mexico. ”
"If you want me to say, it's still Mr. Song's awesomeness, and the ranking of the rich list has risen like riding a rocket. At the age of 32, he is the fourth richest person in the world, and he is still self-made, so he doesn't write so outrageously. ”
"That's because you see less, and the starting point is more of this kind of little white text. Some time ago, there was a YY, and the protagonist inherited 2 trillion US dollars as soon as he appeared, does the author know what the concept of 2 trillion is?"
"As long as Shenzhou Technology is listed, I guess within ten years, Dr. Ma will definitely become the richest man in the world. ”
"In other words, how many assets does Shenzhou Technology have now?"
"It's a mystery, and Forbes can only guess when it counts. But there must be money in thieves, BOE was in a deep debt crisis last year, and Shenzhou Technology directly injected 1 billion yuan into the shares, which instantly pulled up BOE's stock price. ”
"My hometown is in Chang'an. Last year, Shenzhou set up a Chang'an R&D center, good guy, the city directly approved 480 acres of land, half sold and half sent, and built an industrial park. People in Shenzhou were unwilling, saying that there was no need to make it so big, and the city leaders replied directly: It's okay, the unused land can be used up to build commercial housing!"
"Is it really fake?
"People in China don't engage in real estate, they only do scientific research. ”
"Hehe, do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway. Don't forget, how did Dr. Ma get the nickname. ”
"I don't care what kind of person Song Weiyang is. A Shenzhou smart machine, a "Classic of Mountains and Seas", to make these two things, I am a diehard fan of Song Weiyang. ”
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a piece of garbage, and World of Warcraft is really awesome!"
"Blizzard's brain-dead fans are here to show off their superiority again, which one is more rubbish and which one is more awesome, and you can know it by the number of people online at the same time in these two games. ”
"Hehe, compared to the number of people online, "Journey" is the first, and "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can only stand aside. ”
"Don't mention the garbage game of "Journey", okay?"
“……”
3 April 2008.
The IPhone2G officially landed in China, and three days later, Shen Fuxing traveled to the United States to hold the Shenzhou SR-3G product launch conference.
Jobs was very unhappy about this, he originally wanted to talk to Song Weiyang, but he was troubled by the Shenzhou 3G smart phone, and flew back to the United States to supervise the research and development of Apple's 3G.
As for Song Weiyang, he was directly locked up at home, too lazy to contact the outside world.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of China's reform and opening up, and Song Weiyang has been invited to attend countless events, and many units have even called him on his personal mobile phone.
Wu Xiaobo's "Thirty Years of Turmoil" has been published, and Song Weiyang has appeared several times in the book, but Tencent and Xiao Ma Ge are still ignored by the author.
The Southern Newspaper Department held a "Selection of Influential Figures for the 30th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-up", and Song Weiyang was among them. But this thing is not very valuable, because it was voted by the public, and Li Yuchun's votes ranked in the top 30 of the people.
Song Weiyang rejected 99% of the invitations, but he couldn't save face and agreed to go to the Boao Forum.
