Chapter 162: Aerospace (4.7k)

The best-selling of PHS base station equipment and PHS mobile phones has made Wujiang Group make a lot of money, and PHS's profitability is second only to Wujiang Group's game business.

If you don't count the R&D expenses, the production cost of PHS mobile phones is actually only one or two hundred yuan, and the domestic price is 5,000 yuan, and the profit is very high.

The cost of the whole PHS base station is about 10,000 yuan, but the price is 100,000 yuan.

So far, Wujiang Group has generated an astonishing amount of revenue through PHS: about 46 billion RMB!

About half of this revenue comes from Japan.

At this time, PHS was more popular in Japan than in China, not that Chinese did not like PHS, but that they could not afford it.

Therefore, the current main consumer force of PHS is still Japanese.

In the past life, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Information Industry, as of the end of August 2006, the number of PHS users in China reached 93 million. There are more than 7 million overseas PHS users. The number of PHS users worldwide has exceeded 100 million.

In this life, there are no three or four hundred million PHS users, and they are all failures. In the previous life, PHS was only put into operation in July 1995. Now it's 1988, 7 years earlier!!

7 years is enough time for PHS to grow savagely all over the world!

It is worth mentioning that when the Motorola mobile phone was still tens of thousands of dollars, a PHS mobile phone of several thousand yuan suddenly appeared, and this huge gap made countless consumers feel that buying PHS was making a big bargain.

As a result, many people rushed to buy PHS mobile phones for fear of missing this opportunity. This is also one of the reasons for the outbreak of PHS mobile phones.

With Xiaoling's popularity all over the world, more people have seen business opportunities.

Telecom companies around the world have purchased PHS base station equipment from Wujiang Communication Technology, and some companies have purchased PHS patent licenses from Wujiang Communication Technology.

All in all, everyone wants to enter the PHS market and get a piece of the pie.

I am afraid that the PHS explosion will come soon.

……

……

It is well known that before the emergence of decent competitors, Motorola, which was in a monopoly position, was a strong wool picker...... Even in the early 90s, the price of Motorola mobile phones was still tens of thousands of yuan.

At this moment, the PHS developed by Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. teaches people to be people and not be too motorola to do business...... Otherwise, you'll make a lot of money!

For now, Motorola still has no plans to cut prices. However, they have developed a new generation of mobile phones, which should be considered mobile phones to be exact, and there is no need to carry "big bricks" in their hands.

The MicroTAC personal cell phone is Motorola's latest masterpiece, the design is very innovative, it is the world's first flip phone, its size and weight are greatly reduced, it has become a real handheld phone, and its size is only a little smaller than the "PHS-1".

Without a doubt, this phone is definitely a classic that has taken the world by storm!

Motorola has already developed the MicroTAC and is ready to enter mass production, which will be launched next year.

This is why Motorola is not afraid of PHS.

However, in the previous life, the MicroTAC personal cellular phone was expensive, as high as $3995.

The international price of PHS phones is only $2,500, which may seriously affect MicroTAC's sales.

……

Zhao Ye saw the recent report of Wujiang Microelectronics Company, and looked happy and helpless.

"I found that it is really difficult for Wujiang Microelectronics to carry out wafer foundry business!" Zhao Ye said with emotion, "The new wafer factory has just been built, and it is really difficult to meet the group's own chip needs before it has time to carry out wafer foundry business externally!" ”

"The outbreak of the PHS industry chain and the rise of borderless program-controlled switches require hundreds of millions of chips.

Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is also gradually expanding the wafer factory, so as not to do a good job in the wafer foundry business and suffer heavy losses.

But now it seems that the steps are still small! ”

"In addition, the VCD and PC projects are also about to be completed, and when the time comes, I am afraid that more chips will be consumed!"

"Therefore, Wujiang Microelectronics has to continue to build new fabs......"

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he thought about it, his expression froze, and he shook his head again: "The expansion speed can't be too blind, once the second generation of home game consoles is on the market, it should be able to free up a lot of chip production capacity to do foundry business!" ”

The second generation of home game consoles of the Borderless Group, codenamed "Tomahawk", is no longer a game cartridge, but a CD-ROM.

In other words, Wujiang will no longer produce chips for game cartridges for home consoles.

You know, there are many chips on each game cartridge, including EPROM, MMC chips, and so on......

So far, the sales volume of the "Poor Home Game Console" has exceeded 150 million units.

Can the sales of game cartridges be less? How many chips will be used?

Assuming that each console corresponds to 20 game cartridges, at least 3 billion game cartridges have been sold.

In addition, there is a handheld Gameboy, an arcade machine, and a corresponding game cartridge.

Counting the domestic characteristics of the "learning machine" and pirated game cartridges.

All these add up, and the "core" consumption is huge.

Therefore, once the game industry realizes technological upgrading, it will inevitably free up huge chip production capacity.

Not only will CD-ROMs replace game cartridges on home consoles, but NAND Flash memory will also replace Gameboy cartridges.

The MMC game picture enhancement chip has been transferred from the game cartridge to the game console, and the demand is naturally much less.

Ahem, in fact, when developing the first generation of home game consoles, you can directly integrate the MMC chip into the motherboard of the home game console, but as a capitalist, if you do this, it seems to be a bit unqualified.

It is precisely because of the MMC chip that it is natural for game cartridges to be expensive. Otherwise, how to explain to consumers that the game cartridge of Borderless is more expensive than the game cartridge of Nintendo? Where is the price?

However, CD-ROM is used as a game storage medium, and MMC chips can only be installed on game consoles, which makes it impossible to continue to collect wool as before.

The second generation of Gameboy will also use game cartridges as a game storage medium, but when the time comes, the memory chip will be replaced with NAND flash memory, which can accommodate larger games and greatly reduce the number of EPROM memory chips......

Zhao Ye thought about it again and again, but still felt that Wujiang Microelectronics Company could only build a new wafer factory for the time being. Otherwise, when the game industry is upgraded and the huge chip production capacity is freed up, the world doesn't know if it can be digested......

He immediately wrote his opinion on the back of the report of Borderless Microelectronics, including his predictions and concerns about future market changes.

After writing it, he asked Liu Yinyin to send a fax to Wujiang Microelectronics.

As soon as he had done this, his phone rang.

The outside world may never have expected that the boss of Wujiang Group is still using the products of rival Motorola. There is no way to do this, unless we wait until the mobile phone developed by the Wujiang Group is launched on the market.

PHS cannot roam, can only make local calls, and if you want to contact other places, it is best to use a Motorola mobile phone.

The phone was quickly connected, and Liao Xinghua's voice came from the other side.

Liao Xinghua's main position is now the general manager of Asia Satellite Corporation.

Zhao Ye looked at the caller ID, couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and said, "Mr. Liao, hello, call me today, is there any good news?" ”

Liao Xinghua nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, there is indeed good news to tell you!" ”

After a pause, Liao Xinghua said happily: "At this time, the American insurer finally agreed to our Asia Satellite Company to acquire the Houston company's communications satellite for $15 million!" ”

"Wow, that's great news indeed!" Zhao Ye had a smile on his face, paused slightly, and asked, "When will this communication satellite be launched into the sky?" ”

"It will probably wait until June next ......year," Liao Xinghua thought for a moment, replied, and then added, "For the time being, this satellite will be made technical improvements at the Houston company in order to adapt to Asian communications." It will take about two months to get back from the U.S., and then another two months. Finally, the launch of the satellite will also take two or three months to prepare......"

"Okay, I don't have a problem. By the way, has CITIC Group contacted domestic rocket launch companies? ”

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, we have already contacted the rocket launch company in the mainland, and there should be no problem!" Liao Xinghua patted his chest and promised with a smile.

"Well, that's good." With the ability of CITIC Group, I am afraid that there are not many things in China that they can't do, and I envy them. Zhao Ye secretly said that if he could establish an aerospace company in China, how good it would be! By the way, I'll go to the leader for a while.

Liao Xinghua said: "Nothing else, Mr. Zhao is busy, I hung up the phone!" ”

"Okay, Mr. Liao. Good bye! ”

Zhao Ye hung up the phone, immediately opened the phone book to find the phone number of the boss of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and then dialed it.

"With the status of Boundless today, the country should value it very much. As for Wujiang Group's entry into the aerospace industry, it should be welcomed......," Zhao Ye muttered.

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Good leader, I'm Zhao Ye."

"Hello, Xiao Zhao, we haven't been in touch for a long time, why did you think of calling me today, is there something wrong?" The leader asked with a smile on his face.

Zhao Ye didn't twist, and said straight to the point: "Leader, Wujiang Group wants to enter the aerospace market, do you think it's feasible?" ”

When the leader heard this, he was stunned for a while, and private companies entered the aerospace market? This...... It's not that you can't enter, but the threshold for aerospace is very high, how can ordinary enterprises enter this industry.

Just when the leaders were still thinking, Zhao Ye said: "The United States has a large number of companies such as Raytheon Technologies, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Graman, and Houston to enter the aerospace industry, thus promoting the rapid development of the American aerospace industry!" ”

"And what about our country? As far as I know, China's space industry invests only 2 billion yuan a year, and with such a small amount of money, it has to be used for manned space projects, lunar exploration projects, space stations, and so on. ”

"To be honest, the amount of money invested is too small, but I think of doing so many things, and in the end, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses!" Zhao Ye sighed.

China's aerospace industry is often said to be a fraud fund.

In fact, in most cases, it is just that the funding is too small to produce scientific research results. Later, when the country became rich and its investment in the aerospace industry became larger, China gradually became a space power.

However, Zhao Ye wants to promote the development of China's aerospace industry, which not only has Zhao Ye's dream, but also contains huge benefits.

If possible, even the aviation business was done, developing civil aircraft.

Zhao Ye is ambitious, as a technology boss, how can he show that he is awesome if he doesn't build airplanes.

Anyway, there is no domestic ability, or no energy, to develop civil aircraft, so it is better to hand over this task to Wujiang Group.

Or else you have been spending expensive prices to buy passenger planes from abroad?

The leader also felt that what Zhao Ye said made sense at this time, but such a major matter had to be studied carefully.

"Xiao Zhao, I will consult everyone's opinions on this matter, and I will contact you as soon as possible if there is any result!"

"Okay, leader. By the way, leader, I see that China's aviation industry is also developing slowly, and Wujiang Group, as a responsible company, of course, can't bear to see this situation continue, so it is also the responsibility of Wujiang Group to develop China's aviation industry! ”

When the leader heard this, he immediately smiled, "Okay, you Xiao Zhao, you have a really big appetite, you were still in the aerospace industry just now, and now you plan to enter the aviation industry again, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to digest it?" ”

Zhao Ye said confidently: "Leader, please rest assured, Wujiang Group will definitely digest it, and under my leadership, Wujiang Group will always create wealth and technological miracles." Wujiang is fully capable of developing China's aerospace industry! ”

The leader pondered, recalling the Wujiang Group, he still couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart.

Unlike other domestic companies that only eat in China, Wujiang Group has already gone international, with advanced technology and amazing creativity, it has made a name for itself from many powerful competitors!

It can be said that without borders can live without China, and can still rely on foreign markets to live extremely nourishing, but China cannot live without borders, otherwise, China's scientific and technological level will regress a lot.

And the Wujiang Group can have such a situation, thanks to a super genius on the other side of the phone, who has not been born for a thousand years.

If Zhao Ye wants to immigrate to the United States, the leaders can't help but wonder if the United States will drive an aircraft carrier to meet ......

……

After Zhao Ye finished the conversation, he turned his head to look at the north, and his mind was on the Soviet Union.

If the Borderless Group wants to develop the aerospace industry, it needs a large number of talents, and at this time, only the Soviet Union can provide enough talents for the Borderless Group.

Digging into the corners of China? Of course, it's not that you can't dig it. Many scientific research personnel are living in poverty, and the scientific research departments have a pitiful lack of funds. Instead of wasting the years, it is better to shine in the Wujiang Group.

In addition, European and American aerospace talents also have to be poached.

As the saying goes, "the sea does not give up the water, so it can become big".

As for whether Wujiang Group has the financial resources to support the development of the aerospace industry, this is even more problematic.

Wujiang Group's own development is very good, and many products are popular all over the world, in addition, Zhao Ye will not let go of many stock market crash opportunities.

The stock market crash is a crisis for others, but for Zhao Ye, it is simply an ATM, depending on whether Zhao Ye has a big appetite.

No, only in Japan, Wanjiang Real Estate, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, is about to make the real estate business the No.1 in the real estate industry in Tokyo.

Most of its spare money is invested in Japanese real estate, and it plans to gradually withdraw from the Japanese real estate market starting next year, in 1989.

In the past, after 1991, Japan's real estate bubble, driven by foreign capital, quickly burst as international capital withdrew after profits, and real estate prices plummeted.

Therefore, this gave Wanjiang Real Estate Company more than two years to evacuate, which was enough to ensure the safety of the withdrawal of funds.

The sterling crisis in 1992, the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the dot-com bubble in the mid-to-late 90s, and so on......

In fact, these crises are traceable.

Not to mention anything else, the pound crisis and the Asian financial crisis alone were caused by Soros seizing the opportunity.

Flies don't bite eggs, and it is precisely because of the economic problems in these countries that Soros has a chance.

Zhao Ye just wanted to say that Soros is a very good pawn, and whether the Wujiang Group can make a windfall depends on him.

"The Soviet Union is actually very chaotic at this time, there is a shortage of materials, and many scientific researchers are living in embarrassment, so we should increase infiltration, prioritize the list of talents needed by the Wujiang Group, and let the people over there first contact these Soviet talents to test their attitude. At the very least, we should provide them with another more 'money' option before they immigrate to Europe and the United States!! ”

The work should be done in advance, and it may not be successful to poach people temporarily.

Zhao Ye has been sending people to the Soviet Union in the name of trade a few years ago, although Wujiang can't say what kind of talents the Soviet Union has, but he has investigated the talents he needs, as well as some scientific research materials and production equipment.

As long as the time is ripe, then you can be more reckless in digging people and transporting materials and production equipment.

Of course, it's not impossible to build an aircraft carrier, a fighter, a bomber, or something.

However, this cannot be done in the name of the Borderless Group.

so as not to be sanctioned by "people".
