1991 Starting from the core

Before leaving for the special zone, Su Yuanshan had already received word that the last senior officials meeting of the year would be held this month.

It is said...that matters regarding the Ministry of Information Industry will be discussed at the meeting.

——As an industry directly related to the Ministry of Information Industry, Su Yuanshan can’t wait for this department to be listed tomorrow.

"Aren't you very well-informed?" The leader did not answer directly, but glanced at Su Yuanshan and said cheerfully: "I didn't receive the meeting notice, how did I know?"

"...Leader, don't make fun of me." Su Yuanshan smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't give me accurate information, then don't blame me if good things don't come your way."

"Hey! You kid." The leader glared at him, but did not continue to tease Su Yuanshan. Instead, he pondered for a few seconds and said: "This time Director Ye went to Beijing, I still know some news. Indeed, there will be some news at this meeting. Implement the establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry.”

Su Yuanshan immediately took a long breath.

The leader couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why are you so excited? Are you related to the new leader?"

"Hey, no matter how good our relationship is, I'm not on good terms with you." Now that Su Yuanshan had gotten the confidence, he relaxed and said with a smile: "And I really can't guess who it is, why don't you reveal it to me in advance? Let me move around?"

"Don't do evil things, I don't know." The leader really glared at Su Yuanshan: "Don't talk nonsense either."

"Uh... I'll just tell you in front of you." Su Yuanshan knew that the leader was reminding him, so he smiled and said: "As you know, Yuanxin has always relied on technology to make a living. Not to mention Yuanxin, it has also been working with the Western market recently. We are at war with Ericsson, Motorola, Sony, Xinghai and the like."

The leader was startled, and then thought that this guy was the major shareholder of Xinghai. Isn't this a fight between left and right? After shaking his head and smiling, the leader immediately remembered that this guy just said it was beneficial.

"What benefits did you just say?"

Speaking of this, Su Yuanshan immediately became serious: "Leader, the reason why we pay so much attention to the Ministry of Information Industry is because this is a signal - it means that the country will comprehensively accelerate the construction of the information industry."

The leader nodded. He naturally knew the meaning of the Ministry of Information Industry.

"We will not consider policy adjustments for now. As far as market direction is concerned, we believe that the Ministry of Information Industry will definitely promote the cancellation of initial installation fees and network access fees that are deeply hated by ordinary people. To be honest, these fees are really important in this special period. Because of its great significance, we have not only accepted it, but also other places such as Niguo and the United States, and we even refer to foreign countries."

The leader nodded again, signaling Su Yuanshan to continue.

"Therefore, it is inevitable to gradually reduce and even cancel the network access fee."

At this time, Secretary Chen interrupted and said with a smile: "Professor Xiao Su, this network access fee will definitely not cost you forever."

"Yes. However, in a sense, it has become a stumbling block in the construction of our country's information industry..."

Su Yuanshan sighed as he spoke.

To be honest, Su Yuanshan is still collecting thousands of yuan in network access fees, which is really unacceptable to Su Yuanshan.

The reason is very simple. Compared with the previous life, this life has a far core.

——In the past life, in the early days of the development of the GSM network, in addition to paying high fees for base station equipment and technology, most of the money was made by foreign giants.

But in this life, Yuanxin has spared no effort to promote domestic mobile communication infrastructure. From the quotation to account period, it can be said that Yuanxin won the domestic market purely by relying on its own strength - don't forget, before Yuanxin, domestic analog base stations had been constructed for nearly ten years.

There is no harm without comparison. No matter how obstructed by interest groups, it cannot stop Yuanxin from developing base stations in China.

The carrying capacity of existing base stations far exceeds the number of online users. If the country does not reduce network access fees, it will inevitably affect the development of the entire domestic mobile communications industry.

This is also true in history - after the establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry, in order to support domestic mobile phones, three steps were taken.

The first step is to draw a total of 2 billion from national debt and initial installation fees to focus on supporting the domestic mobile phone business, and draw money every year to continue investing.

The second step is to gradually reduce and eventually cancel the network access fee.

The third step is to issue Document No. 1999 (5) to issue licenses for the production of mobile phones in the country - GSM mobile phones give priority to domestic enterprises, and then to joint ventures. CDMA was even only issued to domestic companies at one time, and only MOTO, an "old friend" of foreign-funded companies, received the license.

In the end, even joint ventures and wholly-owned mobile phone manufacturing companies were not approved at all.

Without these three steps, if the domestic mobile phones in the previous life wanted to rise... just dream!

But in this life, everything has changed.

Because of the sudden rise of Yuanxin, it has successfully taken up the banner of domestic mobile phones, relying on its supply chain and technological advantages, and cooperating with Zhongxin, a local snake that specializes in mid- to low-end products and has released N brands in one go. Foreign brands are miserable.

When brands cannot enjoy premium prices, foreign brands can only reduce costs and try to stay in the same price range as Yuanxin. To ensure costs, it is necessary to build a joint venture factory in China to avoid tariff costs.

If you take the whole thing into consideration, you must know that any tariff item is a bargaining chip that can be used in WTO negotiations. (When China first negotiated the WTO, the average tariff on more than 6,000 commodities was 43%—that’s why smuggling was so rampant before joining the WTO.)

The current situation is naturally what the country is happy to see - aren't you saying that we are not a market economy enough? I don’t even care about you, so it should be marketable enough, right?

So now, it depends on whether the country will engage in the "trilogy" like before.

…

Su Yuanshan briefly analyzed for his leaders the upcoming changes in the mobile phone industry in the country, and also analyzed it in conjunction with the digital field. He said that as the most international city in China, Shanghai should make good use of this advantage to provide an excellent display platform for the country and the world.

Now that everything has been said, the leader will naturally understand.

"You mean, we have another exhibition?"

"Yes!" Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: "At present, several major electronic product exhibitions in the world have taken shape. If we HD are just learning to walk, we will obviously not be able to compare with places like Las Vegas, Taipei, and Berlin that have been established for decades. But we need to Focus on an area that they haven’t noticed and that has great potential for development.”

"Yes, that's why you suggested that I hold a semiconductor industry exhibition, right?" The leader smiled and touched his hair - the Shanghai Semiconductor Industry Exhibition has been held for one session. It would not be an unprecedented success, but at least Niguo and some Western semiconductor industry leaders are here.

"Yes, there are similar software exhibitions held in provincial capitals. They have been held for four years now and are getting better and better every year. If foreign software giants want to enter the domestic market, software exhibitions must show their faces."

"Well, the software and game industry in the provincial capital is indeed doing well." The leader nodded and looked at Su Yuanshan with a burning gaze: "Then what do you mean, we have another mobile phone exhibition?"

"What a vulgar name is Mobile Phone Exhibition? International Mobile Electronics Exhibition!" Su Yuanshan even thought of the name for the leader - later generations of the country are too keen on holding these expos. If you really want to attend them all, maybe you won't be able to do so. After participating in the exhibition, it’s time to replace the product.

"Okay, okay!" The leader tasted the name of the exhibition, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately asked: "Is there no specialized mobile product exhibition in the world?"

"Yes, no."

The leader laughed loudly: "Xiao Chen, take note of it. We will go to the Standing Committee to discuss it later."

"By the way, don't just encourage me to hold a conference. Do you Yuanxin have any products by then?"

Su Yuanshan chuckled: "Yes! But in terms of time... If we can start it in May, it will be very suitable."

The leader laughed again: "Have you arranged all your time for me?"

"No, no, no... I don't dare. The main reason is that there is a software exhibition in the provincial capital in May. If the time interval between the two is just right, I think it should be possible for exhibitors who are involved in both software and electronic products, especially foreign companies, to I just joined on the way, so I don’t have to make the trip alone.”

"Moreover, May is also the time when Yuanxin will release new products, which can be regarded as adding some popularity to the exhibition."

Since Su Yuanshan said this, the leader naturally agreed.

"Finally, leader. I would like to give you a personal suggestion...for exhibitions, it is best to invite international companies that specialize in exhibitions to prepare and plan, such as Baisen. Don't worry about spending money - even paying tuition is still very meaningful. "

Seeing that Su Yuanshan spoke frankly and sincerely, the leader also smiled slightly. He raised his hand to check the time, stood up and walked towards Su Yuanshan, patted his shoulder lightly, and squeezed hard.

"Yeah! Listen to you."

"Let's go! Leave early today and I'll treat you to a meal in the cafeteria."

…

Accompanying him in ringing the bell were a few elders and shareholders, as well as a slightly lonely Pony.

Of course, this guy wanted to invite Su Yuanshan at first, and also encouraged Ye Rudai to ring the bell on the pretext of letting him go to Christmas...

At that time, Su Yuanshan asked Ye Rudai what she thought.

Ye Rudai told him, don't pay attention, and don't come, I'm very busy.

Of course, as a major shareholder of Yuanxin, if it is absent from such a meaningful listing bell, it will inevitably bring about some unnecessary suspicion. Therefore, Wang Rui, who happens to be doing business in the lighthouse country, attended the bell-ringing ceremony on behalf of Yuanxin. .

As a member of the executive bureau of Yuanxin's board of directors and the senior president of Yuanxin, Wang Rui can certainly represent Yuanxin.

At the same time, Wang Rui was inevitably asked by reporters, old-fashioned questions such as what Yuanxin thought of the listed stocks and whether he had confidence.

Wang Rui followed Su Yuanshan's instructions and told reporters bluntly that Yuanxin was very optimistic about the future development of easybook and was also full of confidence in the Internet.

…

At the same time, in China, people who are not in related industries cannot notice at all.

On Christmas Day 1996, the 31st meeting of the 8th QGRD Standing Committee concluded successfully.

At the meeting, a resolution was passed on the establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry.

On the same day, GWY also approved the establishment of China United Communications Corporation.

Yes, until this time, there was no China Unicom.

…

On the second weekend after New Year's Day, Chen Jing flew back to the provincial capital from the capital, while Zhang Rujin, Jiang Qingchuan, Wang Chaoxin, Wang Chuanfu and others returned from the special economic zone on a business plane.

In terms of time, the meeting at this point should be the fiscal year summary meeting. But the members attending this meeting were not the company's fiscal year meeting, nor was it an executive directors' meeting.

It is a meeting of relevant industries and departments in response to changes in national policies and trends.

To put it more bluntly, only leaders from mobile phones and related departments participated.

"I won't say anything about the opening remarks."

Chen Jing returned a day early, but still had no time to rest, and discussed with Su Yuanshan until after 12 o'clock in the evening.

But despite staying up late, she was still full of energy today, and she was obviously in a state of excitement.

Indeed, change is coming, and everything is developing in a direction that is good for Yuanxin.

"Although it is not a fiscal year meeting, we still want to ask Mr. Duan to introduce the situation of the mobile phone market last year." Chen Jing said and nodded to Duan Yongping on her right, indicating that he would take over.

"Okay." Duan Yongping cleared his throat and looked around - Mr. Xi was not here today, and only Qin Weimin, Tian Yaoming, and Li Yinan were sitting next to Su Yuanshan, who represented the technical direction.

Looking around the entire venue, everyone is from the corporate side.

"To put it simply, in 1996, our cumulative domestic mobile phone shipments reached 1 million units, achieved sales of 4.5 billion, and occupied 15% of the national market share."

Duan Yongping paused as he said that, and then looked at Su Yuanshan: "It accounts for 55% of the domestic mid-to-high-end models priced above 4,000 yuan."

After he finished speaking, Su Yuanshan took the lead in applauding.

——Adhering to the mid-to-high-end route is his stated goal. If not for this, he fully believes that Duan Yongping has the ability to double the national share!

The reason is simple, he wants to sell chips and solutions.

Amidst the applause, Wang Chaoxin couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Duan... We have sold nearly two million units and still can't keep up with your performance, let alone the net profit."

"We are all a family, so let's not talk about it." Duan Yongping chuckled and immediately said seriously: "The national sales data just now are roughly inferred, but theoretically there will not be much error. This year's mobile phone sales, It has indeed nearly quadrupled from last year, reaching 7 million units - you know, there were less than 4 million mobile phone users last year, and the latest mobile phone statistics have exceeded 10 million households."

"Yes, the country has also seen that the booming development of mobile communications is far beyond imagination, so it has accelerated the establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry." Su Yuanshan nodded and added, and then motioned for Duan Yongping to continue.

"Then next year... according to the momentum supported by the country, we estimate that it will have to at least double - even if it cannot be doubled, it will be easy to break through 10 million."

"But the most important thing is not this, but the mobile phone production base that is currently being built in full swing in China."

Duan Yongping glanced down at the document, then looked at Chen Jing. When Chen Jing nodded, he turned to Jiang Qingchuan and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, this is your major, so you can introduce it."

Jiang Qingchuan took a gentle breath and nodded with a smile.

“If we don’t talk about the whole year, let’s just talk about the work we received in the most recent quarter.”

Jiang Qingchuan looked at the crowd and said softly: "In 1997, our production plan is 15 million mobile phones from various brands."

Hearing this, people who didn't know why took a deep breath.

Wan Yongliang immediately asked: "Is it produced for the domestic market?"

"Of course not all." Jiang Qingchuan smiled and shook his head: "As far as I know, even with our powerful productivity, it only accounts for a small part of the production tasks."

"This means that 1997 was not only the year when the domestic mobile phone market exploded, but also the year when the international market exploded."

(Note: Respect the facts, I’m not writing nonsense.)
