Chapter 351: Step by step
Meng Xiaofeng suddenly realized: "Hehe, are you saying that the Japanese are helping us delay time? Are you helping us calmly expand the production scale of VCD machines?"
Jiang Xinwei said: "I can't say whether it will help us expand the scale calmly, but they at least help us reduce our competitors, so that some competitors who covet the huge profits of VCD machines can't make up their minds about whether to develop this product for a while." ”
Meng Xiaofeng blurted out, "How do you explain this?"
Jiang Xinwei knew that he just didn't figure it out for a while, so he said simply: "Although we have made full preparations during this period of time, and have also united several companies for the production of VCD machines, the number of VCD machines we produce is still not much, which can only meet the needs of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and cannot supply the market demand of our mainland, Japan and other places in Southeast Asia at the same time, let alone meet the needs of Europe, America, Australia and other markets." ”
Jiang Xinwei paused and continued: "Now the domestic market is forcibly covered by ourselves, and the Japanese side has imposed strict import restrictions, so that the two main markets are equivalent to being idle without us to consider. Our output in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan formed a local satisfaction, those potential competitors see the balance of supply and demand of VCD machines in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and think that we will continue to increase the scale of production, they will definitely have a lot of concerns, worried about whether they can make money if they develop it, how much time they can make, and also worry about whether they will be crushed by us. The Japanese market is a supermarket for VCD machines, much larger than Southeast Asia, and its current closure is only good for us. ”
Meng Xiaofeng nodded, but then asked worriedly: "Will there be VCD machine manufacturers in Japan because of this, and will there be strong competitors for us?"
Jiang Xinwei said: "There must be this possibility, the key is to see if we can greatly increase the output of VCD machines in the next two years." At the same time, it also depends on when we can force the Japanese government to open up the market. As long as we open up the market before the other party's enterprises form a scale, we can attack them with the increased numerical advantage, and when the time comes, our prices can also drop significantly, and they can at most keep a part of Japan's own market, and it is impossible for them to break through and encroach on our market. ”
Meng Xiaofeng asked, "Forcing Japan to open its market?"
These words are very simple to say. But it's not so easy to really do, not to mention a company, even a country can't force the Japanese government lightly, you must know that the Japanese can not buy it very much, Feixun Technology Company is just a company, how can it force the Japanese to bow their heads?
Jiang Xinwei said: "Take your time, anyway, we are not in a hurry now, and we don't want them to develop the VCD machine market now." We just need to make an appearance, for example, we ask the household appliances branch to announce the production of televisions, washing machines, etc. in the future. Persuade the relevant departments of the state to provide tariffs on Japanese electrical appliances, and the Japanese government will have to make concessions in VCD machines, and wait for two years after their enterprises can also produce VCD machines, and they will open the market. ”
Jiang Xinwei They only need a few months to produce VCD machines, but other manufacturers must produce VCD machines for more than these times, not only because Jiang Xinwei has the technology that has come through it, and he knows the VCD technology in his previous life very well, which greatly reduces the time for developing VCD machines. There are many detours less than other manufacturers, but more importantly, many technologies of VCD machines, especially patents, are in the hands of Feixun Technology Company.
On the one hand, these latecomers want to develop VCD machines, and they can't simply copy and copy. A lot of money and energy must be invested in the research and development of more functions than the current Jiang Xinwei and their products, so that they can be competitive, and even the performance must be more prominent, otherwise these later products will not be able to change the impression in people's minds, and it is impossible for people to abandon the products they have already thought are good to buy unfamiliar products, which will take time.
On the other hand. Feixun Technology has filed a large number of patents, and no matter how much new competitors invest in research, it is impossible to avoid most of these patents, which have the main function of the patents. According to the principle of competition and anti-monopoly, Feixun Technology Company really cannot force itself to hold on to patents and not sell them. However, the selling price, who the patent right is granted, and how long the negotiation time is not something that can be negotiated in a short time, nor does it mean that a certain enterprise can get the patent right by quoting a sky-high price.
Moreover, the purpose of the company's production of products is to make profits, it is impossible for any company to really be stupid to quote a sky-high price, will definitely conduct a comprehensive market research, will definitely consider how other competitors bid, they will find a price they think is suitable to quote, so that it will take more time.
Therefore, Jiang Xinwei's new VCD machine can complete all the work from R&D to production within a few months, while other companies have Jiang Xinwei's VCD machine as a sample, and it is impossible to develop it in such a short period of time, without two or three years.
If the more companies participate, the more fierce the patent competition, the longer the mutual negotiations will be delayed, and it is not impossible for competitors' products to appear in five or six years. With this time difference, Feixun Technology can not only expand the processing enterprise, multiply the output of VCD machines, but also further improve the quality and performance of VCD machines, so that later competitors can only run behind themselves.
It's called one step at a time. You must know that whether it is selling VCD machine products or selling VCD patents, Feixun Technology can obtain a lot of income, and can take out a part of the funds - far more than competitors - to invest in product research and development.
And Jiang Xinwei also has a plan for this, that is, when other competitors are chasing the same, he can greatly reduce the price, as long as it is not reduced below the cost price, there is no problem, and all the VCD machines in stock will be sold, and he will then launch the offspring product of VCD - DVD.
Just as they were talking about the production of VCD machines, Jiang Xinwei's secretary walked in and said, "Mr. Jiang, the secretary of Minister Lu of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications just called and said that Minister Lu wants to meet with you, do you promise him? ”
Jiang Xinwei was stunned for a moment and said, "Minister Lu Xiangtao, when did he say he would come?"
The secretary said, "In two days, the meeting with you will only take two hours. ”
Jiang Xinwei thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the provincial capital to meet him, after all, he is a minister." You can inform me after discussing it with his secretary. You tell his secretary that if he is short of time, he can ask him to inspect our research base in the provincial capital, and if he has enough time, I will accompany him here to investigate. ”
The secretary said yes and turned to leave.
Meng Xiaofeng waited for the secretary to leave and said: "Mr. Jiang, what is he doing here? As the saying goes, a new official has three fires when he takes office, and his current position as minister is not yet hot, so he should not have burned three fires, so why did he leave Beijing and come to us?"
Jiang Xinxu said with a smile: "There may be two reasons, the first is that he knows how he got into office, but his predecessor was ruined because he collaborated with some people to frame us and wanted to profit from smuggling." Of course, he wants to wipe his ex's ass clean, and he doesn't want us to talk about it in the future. The second is that he must also appease his subordinates, now the state not only blocked the way of smuggling old program-controlled switches, but also closed a lot of ways to import new program-controlled switches from abroad, and post and telecommunications departments at all levels need a large number of program-controlled switches to replace the old-fashioned switches currently in use, they must all ask him for goods, import indicators and domestic indicators, where can he a newly appointed minister get these indicators to meet so many appetites, naturally we have to produce more. ”
Meng Xiaofeng said with a wry smile: "Minister Lu has difficulties, and we also have difficulties in Feixun Technology Company, how can the scale of production be so expanded? If I guess correctly, this Minister Lu must still have a purpose, that is, he hopes that we will help enterprises under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to produce program-controlled switches." They want to steal a batch of orders from us, or they want us to provide some patents for free. Hehe, don't be fooled by his words. ”
Jiang Xinwei said helplessly: "I'm afraid there is no way to do this, the minister of the people came down to us in person, we can't be a dime, even if we congratulate him on his promotion to minister, we have to mean it somewhat." In the future, we will need their support for analog mobile phones and digital mobile communication systems. Besides, the domestic communications market is so big, we can't complete so many orders, and we don't let the enterprises under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications produce, it's not in vain for foreigners, and we can't always wait for our program-controlled switches to come out without upgrading the switches. ”
Jiang Xinwei knows that more than 80% of the equipment in the program-controlled switch replacement in the previous life is from abroad. In the previous life, the smuggling of old program-controlled exchanges was so rampant, but it was really caused by the big gap in domestic program-controlled exchanges, and the people were in a hurry to install telephones, forcing some post and telecommunications departments to take the initiative to purchase those smuggling equipment that had been eliminated abroad.
Of course, there are also some local post and telecommunications department leaders who collude with smugglers inside and outside for their own personal gain.
Meng Xiaofeng nodded and said, "That's too." I hope that this Minister Lu can stay in this position for a few more years, don't wait for our analog phone to come out and he will be gone, and then we will have to re-acquaint themselves with them, and the current work is equivalent to doing it in vain. ”
Jiang Xinxu smiled and did not continue to say anything about the matter, but turned to discuss other things in the company. In addition to the production of VCD machines to expand, the production of program-controlled switches, pagers and even telephones also needs to be expanded, which can be said to be the biggest problem and the most important work of Feixun Technology Company.
Now most of Meng Xiaofeng's energy is shackled by various expansions.
