Chapter 536: Compensation for the overall situation
"Speaking of patents, like now we have encountered trouble in the protection of the rights of the USB flash drive, several small factories in Shenzhen have joined forces to sue us, they have imitated our USB flash drive controller without authorization and put chips to assemble the USB flash drive, but they have not fraudulently used other big brands, using their own trademarks, the court is currently inclined to impose a fine on them, about 100,000 yuan, and they are also instructed to pay us a patent fee of 3% of the price of each USB flash drive in the future.
Mr. Jiang, once this case is decided, we will no longer be able to sell USB flash drive controllers in the future. ”
Mr. Jiang's eyes widened: "Why is this?"
Hu Yiting: "Our U disk controller and U disk production license are bundled, manufacturers want to produce U disk to buy our controller, although our production license is free, the control chip to earn back is the same." ”
Mr. Jiang understood: "If this sentence is handed down, your windfall profits will be over." After speaking, he asked Minister Hu: "Didn't the Ministry of Electronics Industry say hello to the local government?"
Minister Hu explained: "It's useless to say hello, local protectionism! Only in this way can local enterprises that produce USB flash drives have a price advantage." Moreover, the sued company even reported to the court that there have been a lot of pirated USB flash drives abroad, not from the mainland, mainly Hong Kong and Taiwan goods, as well as Singapore and Malaysian goods, and even Thai goods, which shows how simple this thing is to produce.
In short......" Minister Hu paused to say: "The court believes that if Chongguang wins this case, it will seriously hurt the export competitiveness of the domestic manufacturing industry."
At present, 80% of the global production capacity of this USB flash drive is in China, and the cost is heavily dependent on the market price of memory chips and control chips. Originally, these two aspects are basically the same, and the difference in cost is in the assembly cost. Chinese labor costs are low, so foreign manufacturers generally choose electronics factories in the mainland for OEM after obtaining the authorization of Chongguang.
But now foreigners have begun to play the side ball, by bypassing Chongguang company to reduce costs, if our domestic enterprises do not keep up, they will immediately lose price competitiveness, and the market share will be snatched away by foreigners. ”
The meaning of Minister Hu's remarks is very clear: From the perspective of taking into account the overall situation, the lesser of two evils should be chosen as the lesser of two evils, and it is always better to suffer losses from heavy light than losses from the country's export earnings. The amount of electronic product exports is also a major achievement of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and there are many people in the relevant departments below whose work performance is linked to it, so even the ministry does not support Chongguang to continue the current monopoly profits.
Hu Yiting sighed secretly, knowing that this huge profit was coming to an end, and he had planned to fight again today, so he mentioned this matter to Mr. Jiang in person. Now it seems that Minister Hu has a very clear mind, and since he has made his words so clear to his face, President Jiang will naturally not be arbitrary and help Chongguang maintain the huge profits. After all, in recent years, the country has been desperately exchanging dollars to ensure financial security and meet the large domestic import demand, such as oil, iron ore, chips and other products with high dependence on foreign countries.
Sure enough, Mr. Jiang frowned and said, "Can you ...... Take care of it as much as you can?huh? after all...... Hu Yiting, at this point you have to take into account the overall situation, you refocus on the expansion of China's manufacturing industry to sacrifice some, of course, you can't be asked to sacrifice in vain, this interest should be exchanged, the country to compensate for your losses. ”
Hu Yiting's eyes lit up, and he said that he had mentioned it correctly by mistake, and sure enough, the crying child has milk to drink!
"In this way, I will extend the tax holiday for you for one year, your company was established in '95, and the tax holiday will be extended to '98, and now I will extend it to '99. Of course, this has to be approved by Mr. Li, but I don't think it's a big problem, and Mr. Li also appreciates your re-grooming very much. ”
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your understanding and support!" Hu Yiting almost laughed when he heard the discount. Chongguang is currently the strongest domestic private enterprise in the ability to absorb gold, and is still in a period of rapid growth, from May 98 to extend the one-year tax holiday to May 99, although this period was the transition to the tax halving period, but compared to Chongguang's unbelievably high profits, this is a lot of money.
Hu Yiting hurriedly did the math, roughly estimating that Chongguang could save billions of taxes, and couldn't help but blossom, "I gave Mr. Jiang the No. 1 USB flash drive at the beginning, and it was really the right gift." ”
Sure enough, Mr. Jiang smiled and said: "I have feelings for Chongguang USB flash drive, who called me your first official user, Nan Bowan!
Everyone laughed and applauded.
Mr. Jiang said: "I listened to your report just now, I have a deep understanding, your technology enterprises are not easy, I know this too well, the Youying Overlord coprocessor, now it can't be sold, the profit was so good, the sales were so big, and the result was that the ground was full of multi-energy CPUs overnight, which integrated multimedia instruction sets." Fortunately, you still have patent income, which is a blessing in misfortune, which reminds us that the market change in the IC industry is too fast, the profit cycle of the product is too short, and the new product will be launched this year, and it will not be fresh next year, and it will be cheap. But the more this happens, the more you have to speed up the whole process from R&D to production. You have to work hard, and you must not slacken. ”
In the face of Mr. Jiang's earnest entrustment, everyone nodded in unison and applauded again.
Hu Yiting again: "Mr. Jiang, this is our newly developed product, is an MP3 format audio file player, the name is ipod, this year's Spring Festival will start global sales, we think about it this time, decided to put the first product launch conference in Akihabara, Japan. ”
Hu Yiting smiled after speaking, "In the past, Chinese bought Japanese electronic consumer goods, but this time we want to counterattack again and export evil anger." ”
Mr. Jiang remained silent, did not say anything when he heard the words, smiled and took the iPod handed by Wang Lili and looked at it in his hand, put on headphones, and Wang Lili carefully taught him to use them.
Mr. Jiang only listened to it for just a dozen seconds before taking off his headphones, but in just a dozen seconds, his expression became more and more surprised and excited.
Strictly speaking, this thing is in the same vein as you went from USB flash drive to repeater to this. Well...... But it's a leap forward in technology, and you've mastered high-quality audio decoding!?"
Hu Yiting said categorically: "The audio chip used in this ipod, codenamed CPHIFIJ1, is our completely independent research and development of MP3 audio decoding chip, is the world's first MP3 dedicated decoding chip, because we have used a large number of newly designed digital-to-analog conversion design IP cores, making it the world's leading, signal-to-noise ratio has reached as high as 90db, from this point of view, we have been ahead of the world's advanced level for about 3 to 5 years. ”
Mr. Jiang had already praised Hu Yiting, and technically trusted him unreservedly, so when he heard him say this, he specially applauded Hu Yiting and praised him repeatedly: "Good!, the more such news, the better." ”
