In August 2000, apart from the controversial game market, the extremely hot domestic market was naturally the mobile phone market. According to incomplete statistics, domestic mobile phone users exceeded 100 million from 1999 to the first half of this year, becoming the world's largest market.
There are 63.5 million mobile phones assembled domestically, of which 34.9 million are sold domestically. This means that almost half of the mobile phones assembled domestically are sold out domestically and do not need to be sold externally.
In this way, a large number of domestic brands of their own have emerged in the country, such as Eastern Communications, the first domestically listed communications company, and fighter waveguides in mobile phones. Another example is calling out Taiwanese Dibite, who will be the number one earner in China in three years and the number one in Asia in five years, etc.
In short, the mobile phone market is flourishing with hundreds of schools of thought contending. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers account for more than 10% of the market share, breaking the situation where foreign mobile phones dominate the domestic market.
And in this era, as long as you have some technology, you will dive into the mobile phone field to create your own brand, and even many national research institutes are affiliated behind it.
The performance of Dongxu Technology makes many people confused. In terms of technology, Dongxu Technology is definitely first-class. After all, it established its own research laboratory very early. It not only made a lot of money by producing VCDs, but also trained people. A group of highly capable technical personnel emerged.
In the past few years, the field of computer hardware research and development has been unparalleled. Although it is very low-key and does not do much publicity, as long as careful people can easily find that the hard drives and motherboards used in computers in the domestic computer market are basically all stuff. Produced by Asahi Technology.
It is said that Dongxu Technology has also made breakthroughs in the technology of graphics cards and memory modules, and is now moving towards commercialization and will launch new products in the next two years.
Not to mention the mobile phone field. In addition to excellent hardware technology, Dongxu Technology also has software technology that surpasses all current domestic mobile phone companies.
Dongxu Technology even has its own mobile operating system, but I don’t know why it has not been announced to the public. However, at present, regardless of domestic or foreign mobile phone brands, the preferred storage and screen, as well as some mobile phone motherboards are basically products independently developed and produced by Dongxu Technology.
Especially in the field of storage, Dongxu Technology can be said to be one of the world's top companies just like computer hard drives.
But for such a company that requires technology and talent, it doesn't know why it doesn't make its own mobile phone brand and only accepts orders from some mobile phone manufacturers, which is very confusing.
"Are you sure this thing can make money?" Yu Feihong looked at the small thing in Yang Dongxu's hand with a questioning look.
There is no need to take this thing back and study it. At first glance, it is not too simple. It has a plastic shell, two metal pieces, and a plug. It is basically an improved single plug. However, Yang Dongxu told him that this thing can be sold for twenty yuan each. Really Who do you think you are? Moreover, mobile phones have their own chargers and charging cables. Is there a market for this?
"If you want to say a word, considering that we have cooperated for so long and will be packaged and sold with a later upgrade plan, you can give me 100 million." Yang Dongxu looked like he wanted to take it or not.
What he held in his hand was none other than a universal charger that everyone who owned a mobile phone in the future would have one, or even several. The rapid development of the mobile phone industry has gradually begun to break away from the traditional call mode like a walkie-talkie.
It is becoming more and more functional. For example, mobile phones are now beginning to download e-books, support MP3, or MP4 music and video downloads, as well as some simple stand-alone games, etc.
The increase in functions has caused the power consumption of mobile phones to continue to accelerate, so manufacturers with flexible minds have begun to make charging cables for mobile phone chargers more and more popular.
And mobile phone battery manufacturers with better brains have begun to specialize in producing matching independent batteries according to popular mobile phone models. If the phone is out of power and you still want to play with it, there are undoubtedly great restrictions on charging and playing at the same time. Activities near the charging port.
But with another battery, or even several other batteries, it's different. First charge all these batteries, and then take out one mobile phone battery and replace it with another. It's not too complicated to play wherever you want.
In this way, the independent battery with universal charging will naturally come into being. Otherwise, you can't just put the dead battery into the mobile phone, charge it, disconnect it, and replace it with another one to continue charging, right?
The purpose of buying more mobile phone batteries is to give the phone more time to play with. If the phone becomes an independent charger for the battery, what's the point?
"The design of this piece of shit costs 100 million, why don't you go and grab it?" Yu Feihong glared at Yang Dongxu.
Although Hainan's development in recent years has not been outstanding, it has been steadily increasing. In particular, small commodity workshops have basically spread to the villages below. As a result, some small commodity material factories have begun to emerge, further increasing Hainan's fiscal revenue.
Although there are no well-known large enterprises in Haina, its economic activity ranks among the top five in the country, and its economic aggregate ranks among the top ten in the country.
You must know that Haina does not have any heavy industry. It relies entirely on tourism, small commodities, and some light workshops to speed up economic development. It is simply a clean stream for various domestic provinces to boost their own economies and China has also caused environmental pollution.
After entering 2000, domestic economic development began to grow further, and provinces with heavy industries also began to tap their potential to inject new impetus into economic development. Yu Feihong naturally went all over the country to help Haina develop and accommodate new suitable industries, so he naturally approached Yang Dongxu.
"If you don't make hundreds of millions from this thing every year, come back and find me. If you don't believe it, we can make a commission based on the annual income. It's not much more. How about you give me 20% of the income and profit every year? In this way, you still have 80% of the profit can make money without losing any money." Yang Dongxu curled his lips.
"How many hundreds of millions can this thing be sold in a year?" Yu Feihong felt that Yang Dongxu was joking with him again.
"Believe it or not, if you don't want to buy it, I'll sell it to others, or you can build a small factory and do it yourself. If Dongxu Technology didn't have too many departments that were too lazy to make such simple things, and we're not good friends, I wouldn't Too lazy to talk to you?"
Is it strange that the market for universal chargers is hundreds of millions a year?
Domestic mobile phone users now exceed 100 million. According to the standard of one mobile phone user with one universal charger, that is a market of 100 million. The production cost of a universal charger is two yuan, but in the early stage it can be sold for ten yuan. If it is later It’s not too easy to upgrade and add a lantern or something like buying a 15 or 20 piece.
In this way, the market for this thing is at least one billion per year. Yu Feihong was the first to launch the product and could earn several billion a year by drinking the soup. Yang Dongxu was indeed not lying.
Of course, this thing also has limitations, that is, the technical requirements are too low. Even ordinary people will know at a glance that after the introduction of its structural principles, a large number of copycat products will appear.
However, if the company that makes this thing is careful and makes the design and materials more advanced, it can basically make a lot of money. In short, before the emergence of smart all-in-one machines, this thing has a good market, not only You can make a lot of money by exporting domestically and abroad.
"You are worthy of being a big boss who spends billions to acquire a team, and spends over a billion to play with the team every year. Even if you do business worth hundreds of millions a year, you are awesome!" Yu Feihong gave a thumbs up. But he obviously basically believed what Yang Dongxu said.
In fact, when Yang Dongxu came out with this thing and said it could make money, he had already believed it. No matter how unbelievable it was in the past few years, Yang Dongxu had never lost money when he said it could make money, even if this thing didn't look too simple.
Of course, when he talked about billions, he was talking about RMB. The current ratio of RMB to US dollar is 1:8.27. Yang Dongxu’s investment in Barcelona and has reached nearly 300 million US dollars. It’s not even a few billion dollars. No exaggeration.
"It's not that I don't have enough money, but I really don't have the energy to do so much." Yang Dongxu said helplessly.
He has a lot of contemporary things in his mind, but now he really doesn't have the energy to dig holes. Dongxu Technology alone has now divided into more than ten different types of production departments. It is really not worth setting up a production line and factory for a universal recharger.
If he has this time, he might as well transform the now mature graphics card technology into a more profitable high-tech one.
The production cost of a universal charger is two yuan, and if you buy one for 20 yuan, the profit is only 18 yuan, which is 9 times the profit. The production cost of a memory stick is about 60 yuan. If you buy it for more than 300 yuan, the profit of 240 yuan is only four times. But the base of this thing is large. One memory stick is really better than the universal charge of ten.
Of course, the more important thing is that when producing graphics cards, he can continuously accumulate experience and update technology, and then keep up with the times and make money every year. The universal charger and smart all-in-one machine was immediately burped as soon as it came out. There is really no need to invest a lot of energy in doing this.
"Although you are telling the truth, why do I feel that you are showing off? If this is heard by state-owned enterprises that are currently losing money, do you think they will form a group to beat you?" Yu Feihong looked at it with a pained face. Yang Dongxu.
The most depressing thing is undoubtedly the feeling that the other person is showing off, but in fact they are just stating the facts. This gap...
"In addition to this thing, you also need to build a mobile phone foundry. It is not a high-end foundry with several core high-tech technologies like Dongxu Technology, but some grinding tool factories, such as the production of mobile phone casings. This thing doesn’t require much investment, but it also makes a lot of money.” Yang Dongxu gave an idea.
Anyway, even if he didn't pay attention to it, many companies would pop up to do it. It's better to give an inspiration to his friends and let everyone make money together.
"That's a good note, but there are certain plastic requirements for mobile phone cases, right?"
"Shit's request, now that mobile phones are almost ruined, don't think that they are still as valuable as the big brother in the past. As long as the hardness is better, it won't break after being dropped a few times. The biggest investment in this thing is the cost of molds and workers.
If you want to do better, find someone who knows how to design. Nowadays, in order to compete for the market, major mobile phone brands may not be able to follow up on technology, but in terms of casing, each one is better than the other. If you can design a mobile phone case that's better-looking than they imagined, you basically won't have to worry about not getting orders. Yang Dongxu said.
