Although, theoretically, the new venture electronics group, the new venture publishing group and the new venture film and television group, etc., the early companies founded by Lin Qi named after the group company, are all headquartered in Hong Kong, and in addition to the new venture capital electronics group company announced that it will never be listed, it has gradually developed into a headquarters with holdings, finance and patents, and other businesses are increasingly decentralized to subsidiaries, and its subsidiaries are like dandelions, constantly flying out to take root and take charge of themselves.

However, the new venture film and television company and the new venture publishing company are both listed companies in Hong Kong, and they are both giants, with a market value of more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. Whether in terms of management or financing, Lin Qi should pay more attention to the Hong Kong headquarters.

But in recent years, Lin Qi has been in Shenzhen for a longer time than in Hong Kong. In addition, Shenzhen was mainly based on industrial production at the beginning, but with the improvement of the industrial chain and the continuous addition of the best graduates in China every year, the development speed of Shenzhen has been faster than that of the headquarters.

For example, XRM's CPU research and development has basically moved to Shenzhen. Because, Shenzhen has a wafer factory and a chip processing industry chain.

Dr. Yu Youcheng's biggest contribution to the CPU industry chain of XRM architecture is not the architecture design, but more importantly, because he has managed the production of chip factories in first-class semiconductor companies in Silicon Valley in the past, and is familiar with the process of chips from R&D to production, which makes the barriers between R&D and production of the new venture semiconductor business have been broken. Basically, top scientists not only conduct their own research in their own laboratories, but sometimes they also need to guide front-line production directly in the factory production line, and solve the problems encountered in the actual production process with the technicians and workers of the production line.

In essence, the improvement of the management and process level of the chip factory is more basic than the design of the chip, which is more difficult to master. As far as chip design is concerned, college students with related majors are willing to study in this direction, and they can even design CPU chips from scratch. For example, at the beginning of the ARM chip, what is the technical content at all? It is a crude design that is disdained by many giants, but with the development of time, it has gradually become more and more advanced, integrating more and more transistors, and the performance has repeatedly reached new highs?

Previously, the main business of the new venture communication company was fixed network, optical fiber, debugging demodulator, fixed telephone, router and other equipment. Now it has added new services such as GSM base station equipment and Kirin mobile terminals.

Although the Kirin 1st generation mobile phone is invested and developed by the headquarters of Xinchuang Electronics Group, after the official release of the mobile phone, the business of Kirin mobile phone has been sold to Xinchuang Communications Company at a price of 1 billion yuan.

Of course, because the Kirin 1 generation mobile phone is currently being sold at a loss, it is still necessary to control the rhythm of burning money at a loss to avoid burning too much money and making investors question the transfer of interests of the management of listed companies.

Of course, there is a transfer of interests, but it is not the transfer of interests from the new venture communication company to the parent company of the new venture electronics group, but the new venture electronics group, which cheaply transferred the Kirin mobile phone project to the listed company for 1 billion yuan. In the short term, it may not generate profits, but over time, the project will make money sooner or later. Even, it can be said that if the price of 1999 yuan is maintained at most a year, it can be profitable.

And this product will be mass-produced for at least 3 years, so that is, in the initial year of the ramp-up stage, artificially manufacturing this "cost-effective" price stimulates product orders to maintain short supply. After the order will stimulate the cost of each link of the supply chain to be reduced, and the sales volume of the entire supply chain will increase after mass production. In the future, the products will only become more and more profitable, and even, the supply chain will be accustomed to accepting, first supplying at a loss for a period of time, and then, as the order expands, the cost continues to reduce to achieve a profitable model.

Let the supply chain lose a few months first, and if it is another company, I am afraid that those suppliers will sneer at it. However, the new entrepreneurship system directly makes people supply at a loss, and many companies will rush to do it. Because, everyone knows that after persevering until the number of orders skyrockets, it will soon enter the profiteering stage of making money with your eyes closed.

For industrial production, the biggest problem is not the temporary supply at a loss, but - the lack of orders!

If the order volume is huge, the cost of 11 yuan of goods, the manufacturer can grit his teeth and quote a price of 10 yuan or even less. Because, if the order comes up, the manufacturer can reduce the cost of the product to 9 yuan, 8 yuan, 7 yuan or even less.

The cost of mass-produced and non-mass-produced products varies widely.

This is still traditional industrial production, in other words, it is the semiconductor industry, it may be a small batch of products, only a few suppliers are willing to do it, a product is quoted at 100,000 US dollars, love to buy or not. Because, there are really few user orders, and the cost of R&D and the cost of small production are very expensive. After mass production, the product with a price of $100,000 can even be reduced to $1,000, and there is still a huge profit margin.

Just like the desktop CPU commonly used by ordinary users, the performance of a $300 CPU is sometimes even stronger and more technical than some niche semiconductor chips that cost tens of thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars.

And why are those niche chips so expensive? Mainly because there are too few orders. For the R&D of a small number of users, those users want to use it themselves, so they naturally need to pay for the R&D expenses of R&D and small batch production.

The kind of chip that is mass-produced, for example, the current XRM chip, a chip comes out, and it may be tens of millions of users who pay for a chip. In this way, the expensive R&D expenses are available to each user, which may be less than $10. Last year, the cost of Luban's first-generation chip was still more than $200, and now it has been reduced to $160. It is estimated that the cost of next year's four-core Luban 1st generation chip will be less than $100. It can be seen that this kind of consumer electronics products should not look too much at indicators such as profits, but also at the number of patents, market share, shipments, yield rate, etc.

Lin Qi arrived at the new venture communication company, has found that the Kirin 1 generation GSM communication baseband production line, has been put into production, in essence, the communication baseband is not more complex than the CPU, but a simpler chip and a metal antenna to receive signals.

In this regard, although there was no domestic production experience before, it was ...... Wireless broadcasting, radar, TV antennas, etc., are also radio-related antenna technologies, plus, with the information provided by Meng Xin, therefore, the current baseband and antenna of Kirin mobile phones have begun to be gradually mass-produced.

"In other words, Kirin will be able to achieve a production capacity of more than 50,000 units next month, and 100,000 units next month?" Lin Qi asked.

"Yes!" Li Ruoxi said with confidence, "After that, the technology of these antennas and communication basebands can be outsourced." Now there are three suppliers, Huawei, ZTE, and Datang, all of which are ready to OEM communication basebands and antennas and other equipment for us. ”

"Are these three companies?" Lin Qi was surprised, and he was still quite excited to hear about the familiar company. Of course, these companies are now bundled together, and they are no fraction of the new start-up communications companies.

New venture communication companies, many projects to fill the gap in the domestic market at the same time, is also an absolute oligarch. Many domestic telecommunications and communication-related companies, at present, are mainly working as a big brother of a new start-up communication company, queuing up respectfully and saying, big brother, enjoy the meal.

The international status may not be as good as that of Huawei in later generations, but now its domestic status is not known to be higher than that of Huawei in later generations. In later generations, the suppliers of domestic communication equipment could not be counted at any time, and the industry was made into Chinese cabbage by China. A company like Huawei has the largest market share in the world. However, China still needs to fight fiercely with many peers, and it is even more difficult to mix than the international market.
