Chapter 326: No Regret Medicine
The three major mobile phone manufacturers under the Ministry of Electronics Industry, Huasheng Group, Shengwei Group and Nantong Group, were formed by the merger of many original electronic production enterprises and research institutions of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, forming a three-legged pattern of north, south and east. Xi Guoping, the boss of Huasheng Group, Ma Guoguo, the boss of Shengwei Group, Wu Guoqiang, the boss of Nantong Group, and the CEO of Xinyi Group under the name of the Fang family, and Weiguo, who was hired from Hong Kong with a lot of money, are known by the media as the four giants of the Chinese mobile phone industry.
However, only those who have a heart will notice that during this period at the beginning of the year, the heads of the three group enterprises of Huasheng Group, Shengwei Group and Nantong Group have changed owners. )
Compared with the signing of the transfer of Jishu, this transfer can be described as quite low-key, not only did the central media not report it, but even the media in the provinces and cities where the three major groups are located did not report it, so quietly, Ma Guoguo, Wu Guoqiang, and Xi Guoping were secretly promoted and refrigerated.
Zheng Wei also noticed this because he was concerned about the Fang family.
"Ah, there is such a thing?" Xie Zeyang was a little surprised, he really didn't pay attention to this part. This result surprised him quite a bit, the subordinate state-owned enterprises, the level of the boss is not low, and the level of the main hall and deputy minister abounds. Moreover, the three major groups were only established last year, and this year they collectively adjusted their leaders, which is too rare!
Xie Zeyang also knows that in the Chinese market, the mobile phone industry is a rising sunrise industry, and the future prospects are bright. The profits that can be made are also quite substantial. This is an extremely dazzling achievement at a time when state-owned enterprises are generally in trouble. To be able to serve as the number one leader of the three major group companies is an officialdom strongman who has fought all the way out of the bloody storm! At the same time, there must be a tough backstage in the officialdom, how could he have been removed from the position of the number one in such a short period of time!
And what makes Xie Zeyang even more strange is that if a certain CEO of the three major group companies is removed, there can be various explanations. But the three of them were removed together, and there must be a reason for this!
Zheng Wei smiled bitterly: "According to the information I know, it is not accurate at present, it should be related to the Fang family!"
"Huh?" Xie Zeyang looked at Zheng Wei in surprise, a little incredulous. Although Zheng Wei has already stated the news, it is still uncertain. Moreover, in China, most of the official reports are nonsense, but the gossip circulating in the officialdom usually goes straight to the core of the problem! However, when did the Fang family have such great energy that it could actually decide the change of the chief executive of a large state-owned enterprise.
"When I first heard about it, I was incredulous. But...... That's what happened!" Zheng Wei said, spreading his hands.
It turns out that since the three major groups and the Fang family reached a jishu transfer agreement, it is natural to be in full swing into the construction, although the plant, the machine has not been purchased and built, and the jishu obtained has not been thoroughly understood, and it is not possible to produce its own mobile phones, but this does not prevent the three major group companies from purchasing mobile phone spare parts from foreign mobile phone manufacturers and assembling them themselves. Sold on a private label basis.
The profits are also considerable, and in just a few months, the three major group companies have made huge profits.
However, the three major group companies also discovered an important problem, that is, in just a few months, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued more than 100,000 mobile phone numbers! In '95 or '96, a mobile phone number was also worth a lot. Moreover, many mobile phones at that time were not separated from each other, which means that a number can only correspond to one mobile phone, and basically there will be no situation where a mobile phone has multiple numbers.
So that means that in the course of a few months. The number of mobile phones sold in the Huaxia market has exceeded 100,000 units! Moreover, the data obtained from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications shows that the number of mobile phone numbers sold is showing a clear upward trend!
If we follow this trend, the sales of mobile phones in China will exceed 500,000 units in '96! By next year, it may even reach one million units!
Such a huge market naturally represents huge profits, which is of course a good thing!
However, in the contract signed with the Fang family, the annual output quoted by the three group companies was only 20,000 units, and the total output of the three group companies was only 60,000 units! It was less than two months of sales in the whole country this year! Even according to the standard of 30,000 units per year given by the Chinese side in the contract, it was only two months' sales! In '97, even one month's sales were not enough!
It is naturally impossible for the three group companies to put the money under their noses and not earn, if they say that they can produce two or three hundred thousand units a year, it is not that they do not have this ability, but at this time, the problem arises, more than 30,000 units must be paid according to the authorization standard proposed by the Fang family, and more than 100,000 units, it must be paid according to one and a half times the standard of the Fang family!
The finances of the three group companies did not take long, and it was counted that if the three major group companies were to fulfill this contract, at least nearly a quarter of the profits would have to be handed over to the Fang family in the form of jishu authorization money. That's a pretty big buck!
The three CEOs couldn't help but be dumbfounded, such a large additional expenditure, no matter what, it is impossible to hide the past. It would be even more impossible to find the Fang family to revise the agreement! Although the specific content of the Jishu transfer agreement was not made public, many leaders attended the signing of the agreement and endorsed it on the contract! At the beginning, the three major group companies thought that they had taken a big advantage, so they were afraid that the Fang family would regret it in the future, and no one thought that in just a few months, the situation actually turned for the worse!
At this time, if the agreement is to be revised, it will undoubtedly be to "slap" the faces of those leaders who endorse the agreement! In the face of a vice-national level and four ministerial-level bigwigs, such a huge lineup, the three CEOs are also numb!
The leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry were naturally angry! This is not only a question of a huge amount of expenditure, but also a big problem that has a bearing on the face of the Ministry of Electronics Industry! The three major group companies have actually suffered such a big loss because they have no foresight! The other party is still a private enterprise in China!
Although it is said that since the implementation of the reform and opening up policy, these officials in China have paid "tuition" without knowing how much they have paid, billions or even tens of billions of precious funds, and the blood and sweat of the people have been squandered in the process of paying "tuition" again and again. However, most of them can be concealed, or they appear in foreign transactions, and there can also be excuses such as not being familiar with international trade rules and market rules.
However, in the matter of the transfer authorization fee of the mobile phone, it is purely caused by the three CEOs who are short-sighted and have no foresight! As a result, they did not take advantage of the cheapness, but they had to take out a large amount of real money! This made the liver of the leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry hurt!
Of course, what is more important is that once this matter spreads, what will the bigwigs of the central authorities think of it? Will they think that these leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry do not know people well? Will they cause such serious economic losses? This matter is serious when it comes to their own careers!
However, these leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry have not been able to vent their anger on the Fang family, the original negotiation records are clearly written, and Luo Cheng, director of the Gao Jishu Industry Department of the State Planning Commission, and Zong Yanei can testify, Xi Guoping and the three of them have been entangled with Fang Mingyuan again and again on the matter of Jishu authorization fees, and finally Fang Mingyuan proposed this plan, but in Xi Guoping's own data, there is still plenty of leeway! Today's result can only be said to be caused by their own vision is not far-sighted enough and their estimation of the future development of the mobile phone market is wrong!
Moreover, this also involves the personal interests of the Planning Commission and the Zong Ya, but Fang Mingyuan originally agreed, and after the annual output of each of the three major group companies exceeds 30,000 mobile phones, 10 percent of the authorization money paid for the excess part will belong to the Planning Commission and the Zong Ya. At the beginning, Luo Cheng and Zong Zheng thought that this was their income of more than 10 million yuan, and they were already overjoyed, but now when they heard that this income was going to multiply several times, they were even more overjoyed. Naturally, it will not be allowed, and the Ministry of Electronics Industry will go back on its word!
In the end, the leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, who were angry because of their disappointment, could only turn their anger to Xi Guoping and the three, and at this time, even the backers behind the three could not protect them. So in a short period of time, the three of them were transferred from their respective posts in various names, and since then they have been sent to the cold palace!
"Now, unless the three major group companies don't use the Nokia mobile phones they got from the Fang family to produce jishu at all, otherwise, a high license fee must be paid!" Zheng Wei said with a wry smile.
Xie Zeyang was silent, everyone knew that Zheng Wei was talking about this situation, it was simply impossible! The three major group companies that had signed the Jishu authorization agreement in such a high-profile manner at the beginning would not have put this Jishu in the cold palace. First, at present, they can't get more haodejishu than this jishu; second, the face of the five ministerial-level and vice-state-level leaders is not played with in this way, unless the leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry are blinded by lard and take their career prospects seriously!
"Fang family, it's a double-edged sword!" Zheng Wei sighed softly, "We've done enough for those fools!"
