Volume VI Section 127 Do something
"I have this plan, but I plan to set up a company specializing in the production of mobile phones in addition to Gaosheng Electronics, Gaosheng Electronics will still be based on VCD and DVD production, well, next year may start to produce MP3 players, but this thing may face some problems, Guo always thinks that this thing from the perspective of cost, may be the largest market in the United States, followed by Japan, South Korea and Europe, because she believes that the biggest advantage of MP3 players is that they can download music through the Internet, and then use it like Walkman, which may directly destroy the Walkman market in Japan。 ”
Duan Yongming lowered his voice.
Although everyone here is from the inner circle, the development of MP3 is still in a state of high secrecy, and I dare not take it lightly.
On the one hand, considering that MP3 technology needs to be further improved to come up with an all-round leading product, and on the other hand, considering the huge influence from the American Recording Association (RIAA) and the huge energy of Walkman manufacturers such as Sony in Japan, if the two are combined, it is enough to kill anyone who interferes with and infringes on their interests.
Although China has not yet joined the WTO, the country is trying to get closer to that aspect, so if the Americans raise this issue first, I am afraid that the country may not be able to resist this pressure.
In the previous life, MP3 was also resisted by the full force of the Imperial Alliance, and finally won the lawsuit, which finally opened the way for the full rollout of MP3.
In this world, what do Huahai Hi-Tech and Gaosheng Electronics, Guo Zhen and Duan Yongming plan to do?
It's no different than anything else, once the lid is lifted, it's a life-and-death battle.
In the short term, it is difficult for the MP3 domestic market to support the overall situation, and it can only be the market of the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries, especially the United States, which is determined by the popularity of computers and the Internet.
The domestic market will not begin to flourish until at least three or five years later, and Huahai Hi-Tech, which has taken the lead in coming up with MP3 players, can rely on this set of technology patents to monopolize in the short term, and quickly open up the markets in the United States, Japan and South Korea, but there is a premise for this, you must be able to break through the blockade from the American Recording Association and the suppression of Japanese Walkman manufacturers.
Sha Zhengyang does not think that a domestic company can break the blockade of the other party in the US market, if you want to make a difference in the US market, you can only find a partner in the United States, and it must be a strong enough partner, and at the same time the other party can be satisfied with the shared benefits.
"Mr. Guo's opinion is correct, she knows the American market very well, and she is also very aware of the domineering and domineering of the Americans in this regard, the Japanese more than ten years ago suffered enough at the hands of the Americans, who makes you think about other people's markets?" Sha Zhengyang nodded, "Then what does Mr. Guo mean?"
What Mr. Guo means is that he may have to find a strong partner in the United States to build a factory in the United States, and the products are mainly in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. Duan Yongming was very unwilling, but he also had to admit that in the face of the suppression of the Americans, there is no reason to talk about it, and people can solve you in countless ways.
"I'm afraid there should be a time limit, right?" Sha Zhengyang asked.
"Mr. Guo considers a three-year cooperation period, and after three years, we can authorize the technology patent to our partners, and it is estimated that the market competition will be sufficient at that time, not only us, but the American Recording Association may not be able to hold it down at that time. ”
This plan Guo Zhen, Duan Yongming, and Zong Wenfeng have all discussed it, and it has also been reported to Ning Yuechan, who is the major shareholder.
As long as the product comes out, in fact, the production capacity will be formed quickly, especially this kind of electronic products, more through the integration and combination of some electronic components, and once it is really rolled out, the production capacity will be able to come up immediately, so it will really take three years to fully roll out, and it is estimated that the Walkman market will really collapse.
If MP3 produced in the United States enters the Japanese market, it is estimated that the Japanese will want to cry without tears, and in the face of the strength of American companies that have long seen the dissatisfaction of Japanese companies, the Japanese will not dare to resist even if they are dissatisfied.
"If you can, I suggest that our domestic production can be temporarily slowed down, and when the U.S. market is completely opened, and after those troubles are over, domestic companies will start again, anyway, the technology patents are in our hands, I believe that even if American companies set up production lines, their production costs are simply not comparable with the domestic, and then we can go back along the market they opened up." ”
Sha Zhengyang thought for a while before giving this suggestion.
Duan Yongming and Zong Wenfeng both agreed with this point of view after thinking about it.
The production line of this kind of manufacturing enterprise, even if it is now completed and put into operation in the United States, but its production cost will certainly not be low, of course, it is now in the exclusive period, there must be no problem, but as other enterprises begin to enter, production capacity increases, prices decline, then the cost advantage is very important, and I am afraid that only in mainland production can compete with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan enterprises.
In a word, now we have to seize this window period, first knock down the market, and give the Japanese Walkman a head-on blow, their Walkman has made a lot of money for so many years, and it is time for our MP3 to turn the feng shui. ”
Sha Zhengyang's eyes were full of hope.
In the past, he always felt that he could do anything, knew so many general trends, and there was no shortage of resources, as long as he gave a little guidance, then everything could move with his baton, but now it seems too naïve and naïve.
The basic conditions are not available, all the conditions are not mature, you can only sigh if you have the ability to defy the sky, just like the CPU chip, you knew what the development trend was five years ago, so what?
Can you catch up with Intel's technology accumulation in three or five years?
The same is true for Qualcomm, of course, this piece is slightly better, after all, there is still a decade or two to go, and there is still some time for the rise of the Internet and the proliferation of smartphones.
Overtaking in corners, then you have to find the right path, at least until now, Sha Zhengyang feels that he has changed a lot.
Like MPEG decoding chip, in the previous life, it was exclusive to the Scottber family, and then Yishi joined, and it was the Americans who came to grab the money, but now it is different, Huahai Hi-Tech and Huazhong Electronics' practice will not let Scottber enjoy it exclusively, and Yishi does not know where to be instigated by butterfly wings.
Another example is like mobile phone chips, now Huahai Hi-Tech has won the technical team of Lenovo Microelectronics Design Center, and now it is a large-scale recruitment, determined to build the country's most powerful technical team to make a difference in the chip industry, the strength of the current R & D team has also begun to take shape, ARM's reduced instruction set authorization has been won, this piece has everything is ready only to owe Dongfeng.
As for the computer chip, the technical gap is too big, and there is even no possibility of overtaking in a corner, so it can only slowly keep up with the accumulation step by step, and it is impossible to expect to be able to close the gap with the Americans in this area, and it can only be said that breakthroughs can be made in the field of some special chips.
Sha Zhengyang is very proud that Huahai Hi-Tech, which he promoted, has been at the forefront of chip design, and at this time Huawei is not even ready in this regard.
Of course, Sha Zhengyang also knows that with the character of Huawei, he must be unwilling to be subordinate, and sooner or later he will have to make something in this area.
Sha Zhengyang also hopes to see that with the presence of Huahai Hi-Tech, Huawei can still replicate the brazen solitude in his previous life and rush out of a bloody road, but he thinks it can do.
Huahai Hi-Tech and Huawei are competitors in some areas at present, such as program-controlled switches, but in fact, the two are just squeezing out foreign brands, and Huawei's program-controlled switch market share at this time in history is about the same as now, Huahai Hi-Tech only seized the market of the original foreign brand.
However, Sha Zhengyang feels that the emergence of Huahai Hi-Tech may be able to point out a way out for Huawei in advance, that is, to rely on its own strength to develop, in this regard, Sha Zhengyang believes that once Huawei recognizes the situation, the situation will be completely different.
Perhaps there is a company like Huahai Hi-Tech to fly with Huawei to see if the two companies can cooperate in the competition, break through the technical barriers of American, Japanese, South Korean and Taiwan enterprises, and truly let the chip field have the right to speak in Chinese mainland.
To solve these problems, you must first obtain a good business operation model, that is, you have to let the enterprise enter a model that can operate benignly, and you can't just burn money to fight, which will not last long, unless the state fully supports it.
And now in this situation, Sha Zhengyang feels that the country may not realize how cruel and fierce the competition in the field of chips will be, especially at present, state-owned enterprises have just begun to reform, and it is not in line with the historical trend to let the country invest in this area on a large scale, and the urgency is not enough for the country to make this determination.
At this meal, with the help of wine, Sha Zhengyang, Duan Yongming, and Zong Wenfeng all talked very happily, and even Sha Zhengyang talked to Guo Zhen on the phone for about ten minutes, and he had a general plan for future development.
"Zhengyang, I feel that you attach more importance to the chip than any field, do you really think you can make a big gain in this area?" Ning Yuechan drove the car, and Sha Zhengyang leaned on the back of the chair and was drunk.
"Sister Chan, do you think I'm a person who values money so much?" Sha Zhengyang had a lot of alcohol in his mind at this time, and he had the urge to vent his thoughts wantonly, and the infinite thoughts in his chest just happened to find someone to talk to, and Ning Yuechan was undoubtedly the best listener.
"Maybe I used to value capital very much, but that's because I need enough capital to start what I want to do, but now Dongfanghong's development is very smooth, Jiao Hong and I are on the phone, he is in Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Heilongjiang are all choosing points, basically certain, she is also very confident, I told her, do it boldly, it's no big deal, fall, start over, I support her!"
Sha Zhengyang put one hand behind his head, one hand on the car window, and his eyes were wild.
