Chapter 992 The Industry Must Be Transformed (Fifth Update)

"Does your girlfriend have an estate in her name? If she didn't have an estate in her name, she wouldn't have to be fined so much. Huang Lao asked.

"Not really. But I don't want her to have a child so unclear, I want to register for the child. So this money, I admit the penalty. Liu Tao said.

"You're kind of open-minded. I didn't expect you to be so rich at such a young age. What exactly is your business? Huang Lao asked with interest.

"There's not much business either. A construction company, an investment company, several nightclubs, and a car manufacturing company with others. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"When I was your age, my family didn't even have enough to eat, let alone any money. The times you are experiencing now are good. Now many young people who are not young can have a net worth of hundreds of millions. Huang Lao said with emotion.

"Now Huaxia is in a period of rapid economic development, although the structure is not so reasonable, but the money is still very easy to make. Of course, if you want to make money, the main thing is that the people have to have money in their hands. Now, like ours, the rural areas have basically bid farewell to the situation of living on food alone. Most of them go out to do odd jobs or work in factories on weekdays, and when the farm is busy, they take leave to go home. Of course, this situation also gives rise to another group, that is, the left-behind group. The young and strong laborers all went out to work, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in the family. Liu Tao said.

"There are gains and losses, this is an eternal truth. At present, the richest cities in China are basically concentrated in the coastal areas, so a large number of labor force is pouring into these areas. If only the western region could become as wealthy as the coastal areas. I'm afraid that at that time, everyone will not need to leave their hometowns to work elsewhere. In order to solve this problem, the state has been vigorously developing the western region, but with little effect. Huang Lao said.

"The climate in the west is quite different from that on the coast. The first thing many people face when they go to the west is the test of climate. In addition, the transportation there is not so convenient, and even if something is produced, the cost of shipping it will be relatively high. Of course, the west also has advantages. The advantage is that the labor cost is relatively low. Now that the cost of production in coastal cities is rising, many enterprises will retreat to the west. Liu Tao said.

"Advantages are temporary, and soon they will be wiped out. No matter which country in the world is, in the process of development, it relies on low human costs to develop. However, this advantage will be maintained for a maximum of thirty or fifty years. Soon it will be replaced by poorer places. Many companies that have invested in Huaxia have gradually turned to Southeast Asia where labor costs are cheaper. Huang Lao said.

"That's why the country proposes industrial transformation. The era of relying solely on human costs as an advantage is over. What we want to sell in the future is creativity, service, and culture. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Transformation is easier said than done. Once the transformation is not successful. There will be a significant number of businesses facing closure. Huang Lao said this. sighed. Despite the fact that he is retired. But I am still very concerned about national affairs.

"Every time a new wave emerges, there is always a group of enterprises that fall, and there is no way to do it. You see the very popular Yali and camel mobile phones that used to be sold in Huaxia. Aren't they all being bought by other companies now? History is always developing, enterprises are constantly ups and downs, and only by seeking change can we survive. Look at the fruit mobile phone in country M and the star mobile phone in the stick country, how well they are selling now. Basically, it has occupied a considerable part of the domestic market. Not to mention anything else, the quality of people's mobile phones is excellent. Can't these domestic enterprises do it? It's not that they can't do it, it's that they don't want to do it. It is important to know that the money invested in the research and development of technology every year will be billions, and many of our domestic mobile phone manufacturers may not add up to billions of dollars. It's quite risky to get them to spend so much money on R&D. Because they simply can't afford to lose. Liu Tao said a lot in one breath.

"So you say, if you have enough money, you can make a phone like a fruit?" Huang Lao hurriedly asked.

"So to speak. Now the products of some domestic mobile phone manufacturers are very good, which can be called high-quality and cheap. However, today's young people buy mobile phones not only for fun, but more often for show, that is, to get a sense of identity. For example, if you have a fruit phone and I have a domestic phone, we feel that we can't play together. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"I agree with that. A while ago, my precious granddaughter bought a mobile phone and spent more than 10,000 yuan. I asked her why she wanted to buy this phone, and she said that many friends around her had bought this phone, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't buy it. Huang Lao said.

"Well, circles are important. Mobile phones sometimes show the taste of the circle to some extent. Grandpa Huang, what kind of mobile phone are you using? Liu Tao asked with interest.

"I've been using my phone for seven or eight years, and it's pretty good now. I don't use it much on weekdays, just talking and answering the phone. Huang Lao took out his phone as he spoke.

"The black and white screen is good. The first phone I just bought was like that. This mobile phone can be called the best-selling Yali mobile phone of the year. It's a pity that now Yali mobile phones have been acquired by iSoftStone, and the brand of Yali will no longer exist in the future. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"This phone is very easy to use. There were indeed a lot of people who used this brand in the past, and it was a pity that such companies could go bankrupt. Huang Lao said.

"Yali loses because it is unwilling to embrace tomorrow with open arms. Now the most installed system of mobile phones is the An'an system, and the star mobile phone of the stick country is the system used, as well as domestic machines. The second is a set of systems made by the fruit mobile phone. Fortunately, the fruit phone sells a large amount, so this system is not bad. The next thing is the VancecTIS system launched by iSoftStone, which Yali used in the first place. It's a pity that there are so few users of this system, which eventually led to the acquisition of Yali Company. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"I'm curious, does the system have such a big relationship with the phone?" Huang Lao asked with some confusion.

"The system can decide the life and death of the phone, you say it's not a big deal. The application on the system is also important. The An'an system has the widest audience, so those who develop applications are also the most willing to make An'an version of the application. What do you play the game? The main thing is to play these apps. So if you don't have an app, your smartphone wouldn't be much different from your previous phone. If it's just to answer the phone and send text messages, who would be willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a mobile phone. Liu Tao said with a smile. (To be continued......)
