A group of people went upstairs, and Xia Mingde was about to call the parking space of the property, and said to Xia Yu: "Xiaoyu, you are urging your uncle, why hasn't you arrived yet?"

"Okay, I'll call right away!"

It can be seen that my father is still very excited and happy to get this gift, and Xia Yu is also very happy in his heart.

The family doesn't ask for much, and it's good that I can make them more comfortable sooner and don't have to worry about myself.

Lin Chusheng's family is also in Yangcheng City, but it is farther to the east, Xia Yu was still on the road when he called, and he was a little anxious to hear his voice: "Xiaoyu, the road is a little blocked today, fifteen minutes!"

"Cheng, don't worry, you pay attention to safety!"

When I returned upstairs and just entered the house, I listened to my father and uncle ask me about Polestar Electronics.

Xia Mingde only knew that Polestar Electronics had won awards in the United States, but he did not expect that the products had been exported to more than 20 countries overseas.

"This is just the beginning, after all, S1 has just been listed, and I will try to open more markets in the future", Xia Mingde introduced there, and when he saw Xia Yu coming in, he hurriedly said: "Hey, don't listen to me, Xiaoyu, come and talk about it!"

Fang Yu was also amazed when he heard it. When Xia Yu went to his house last time, he just thought that this nephew was very capable, and he actually started his own company, how long has it been, and he has made hundreds of millions.

No wonder I was so happy to lend myself money to buy a house!

Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "That's pretty much it, Uncle has already said it!Well, in addition to MP3 on Polestar, the next new direction is mobile phones, just like your little brother-in-law, you are here, help us figure out how to solve the matter of mobile phone licenses?"

Fang Yu works in the Nanyue branch of Huaguo Unicom, and he is also a grassroots leader, and he has heard Xia Yu and Xia Mingshun's Jian yì transferred to the CDMA department, which is a relatively new business in Unicom, although it is still losing money, but it is more promising than the GS.M business department.

Whether it's GS.M or CDMA, it's a department that mobile phone companies have to deal with.

"Make a cell phone?"

Fang Yu was a little stunned when he heard this. With Polestar's posture, it is definitely not an OEM, but the market for branded mobile phones is really too fierce!

Especially since last year, since 2004, the top three positions in mobile phone sales in the domestic market have been occupied by Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung.

This also led many companies to break the capital chain and had to say goodbye to this market.

"Yes, we have already set up a project to recruit people, and we have also contacted the mobile phone solution company, but the license matter has not yet been settled.

"Well, this is also a policy breakthrough. ”

He also felt that Xia Yu's vision was poisonous enough, and at the end of 2004, the Ministry of Information Industry had just approved the approval plan. It won't take long to implement.

Speaking of which, in the past, the production of mobile phones was a strict licensing system, and the Ministry of Information Industry of the People's Republic of China operated in full accordance with the model of planned economy, and it was extremely difficult for new companies to obtain licenses, and the industry was also complaining.

In October last year, Oakes took the Ministry of Information Industry to court for a license. The reason is simple: without a license, you can't get a network access license, and the product can't be marketed. Since then, Oakes, like many new troops who want to enter the siege of mobile phones, has had to break through the corner. You can only buy the network access license number of other mobile phone manufacturers at a high price.

In addition, Gionee's boss once revealed that they paid more than 50 million yuan in additional costs for license leasing in 2004.

Fang Yu introduced these backgrounds, mainly to Xia Mingshun, who was also listening carefully, before answering Xia Yu's question and said: "The new approval system is estimated to come down soon. Although it has been relaxed a lot, many companies can get new licenses, but the three thresholds are not easy. Polestar has no problem with registered capital, you must be stuck in the three-year time limit, right?"

"Yes. This is a hard wound. ”

Xia Yu knew that the approval system would be canceled in 2007, and there would really be no threshold for the production and sales of mobile phones at that time, but of course he couldn't wait for that time.

Fang Yu nodded and continued: "There are three ways to do it in general enterprises. Acquisition or joint venture, OEM, and lease license. ”

"Among them, the cost of leasing a license is the lowest, that is, it directly spends money to register in a licensed company to obtain a network access permit, commonly known as 'leasing a license', CECT CLP Communications under Qiaoxing Group, is a well-known rental in the industry, in addition to Shenzhen Guowei, Nanjing Panda, etc. After the new approval system comes out, the price will definitely drop significantly, and it is estimated that 10 million a year will be enough. ”

"What else?"

Of course, this Xia Yu has understood, it can only be regarded as an alternative, and the disputes over the leasing of licenses often arise, all of which are conflicts of interest after the mobile phone is listed.

"There is a second kind of roundabout, but also a new method of the approval system, you can be a joint venture by several small companies, choose a more than three years to be the main force to apply, as long as the capital and research and development level pass, generally can also pass guò, of course, must wait for at least half a year. ”

It sounds like this approach is more suitable for small companies that are undercapitalized and want to make a profit. Polestar Electronics has the MP3 business, which is not a problem financially, and the time cannot afford to wait.

Xia Yu shook his head: "We are in a hurry. ”

"The last one depends on the opportunity, but if you can get it, it's once and for all," Fang Yu brought the teacup to his mouth and moistened it, and then said: "That is to directly buy a company with a license, or an established company that has no intention of continuing in this market." ”

"Oh, is this possible?"

"You need to look for it, but it's not that you don't have a chance. As far as I know, many companies that have actually withdrawn from the mobile phone market are interested in selling one after another, and of course the price is not too cheap, and the equity relationship between these old companies is usually very complicated, and it may even interfere with your Polestar, so be cautious. ”

This is true, Xia Yu is most annoyed by this kind of complex equity-bond relationship, especially those complex companies with people standing behind them.

He remembered what Liu Jun told him about the two companies that were ready to withdraw from the mobile phone market, and then asked: "Brother-in-law, a friend told me that Panda Mobile and Zhongkejian have problems with two mobile phone companies and want to withdraw?"

"Your friend is right, Nanjing Panda Mobile is trapped in a guarantee black hole, Zhongkejian is involved in a debt crisis, and there are several other companies that are possible, all of which have basically announced their withdrawal from the mobile phone market for various reasons. And they all have quite a thick foundation. The talent and technology are not bad, and if Polestar can win it, it will definitely be worth it. ”

"Well, I know!" This is a breakthrough, Xia Yu said again: "Brother-in-law, please help me list, in addition to these two, there are also those licenses that are worth buying, don't consider the equity and price behind it." ”

"It seems that you are a little tyrant and you are really not wronged! In this case, I will go back and inquire and collect information, and send you an email or call to talk about it. ”

"That's better!"

Neither Xia Mingde nor Xia Mingshun interjected in this topic, and after listening to them, Xia Mingshun mentioned: "Xiaoyu." It's good that you Polestar are ambitious, but I want to remind you that the equity relationship behind these old companies is quite complex, and it is worth buying if you can clarify it, and you must pay attention to other things besides capital games when acquiring such companies. ”

Xia Yu didn't expect his father to mention this, and this is really a bit of a headache for him, Polestar Electronics is too weak in this regard!

He nodded anyway and said, "Well, I'll be cautious." ”

……

Lin Chusheng's family arrived at nearly twelve o'clock, but it was not too late. The nature of this party is more than the birthday luncheon started on time at twelve o'clock, and Xia Yu was also allowed to drink some liquor because he was about to become an adult.

He actually drinks quite a lot, especially when he drinks well, he rarely gets drunk. But at this time, I didn't dare to be presumptuous, and the last three taels of a glass of Wuliangye accompanied me until the end.

A few elders didn't drink less, and later took advantage of the wine to make a joke about Xia Yu, saying that this was also a big career. I almost brought back a little girl, and everything was perfect.

Xia Mingshun rarely didn't speak, but Lin Xingfang scolded with a smile: "He dare! Dare to mess with me before graduating from college, and never want to enter our house in the future!"

This sentence made Xia Yu sweat wildly. Why did you say that you would buy a house by yourself when you went back......

Several men made trouble for a while after dinner, and then they were drunk and put to sleep in several rooms, Xia Lin also had fun with her aunt's woman Lingling, Xia Yu saw that it was okay for a while, and went outside to dial Liu Jun's phone.

There is no Chinese New Year holiday in San Francisco, and this will be the time to rush to work in the morning.

"Xia Yu, what's wrong? I just arrived at the company!"

"Brother Liu, that's right. I just learned about the domestic mobile phone license from my brother-in-law who works at Huatong Unicom, and the situation is similar to that of you......"

"So you've made up your mind?"

Liu Jun is in charge of the North American real room, which is also mainly engaged in the optimization of design solutions and functional testing of feature phones.

As for the long research and development of the smartphone system, he didn't ask much, Guo Fandong and his new team based on BlueSmart have always been in charge, in short, asking people to give money to people.

Xia Yu said: "I thought about it for a while, but Polestar still can't do it on an OEM basis, so I decided to take the acquisition route." But last time you talked about Panda Mobile and Zhongke Jian, and I was worried that there were too many entanglements behind them, do you have any friends who are familiar with this circle and know more about it?"

"It's a real problem, so it's better to be cautious. Zhongkejian is a listed company, and the equity relationship is easy to check but has always been relatively chaotic, and there is the shadow of Samsung behind it; there are also several listed companies such as Yimei and Nanjing Panda behind Panda Mobile, and the equity is also complicated...... In this way, I will recommend someone to you, and you will definitely be able to figure it out if you go to him!"

"Oh, who is it?"

"An old media person, who is also a very senior telecommunications expert, is called Xiang Ligang. ”

"Oh?"

This Li Gang Xia Yu really knew each other in his previous life!

Because this person was still very active in the circle until 2014, he was indeed an expert in his own communication and telecommunications industry, and later founded a well-known website in the communications industry, Feixiang.com, a veteran media person with a low height and a straight personality.

"What's the matter, you've heard of him?"

"No, the name is similar to one of my classmates. ”

"Haha, I forgot that your boss is still in high school! Old Xiang's family is in Beijing, I'll call you first. ”

"Okay!" (to be continued......)
