Chapter 257: The battle over profits

Putting aside legal principles, from an organizational perspective, the difference between a country and an enterprise is actually not that big.

The initial bud of a country is a small collective, and the initial bud of an ordinary company is also a small collective.

Small means less ability to resist risks. For example, Xiawei was only established in the 1980s. Its starting capital was only 20,000 yuan. Although 20,000 yuan was not a lot in that era, compared with today's Xiawei assets, it can be said that It is the difference between an earthworm and a giant elephant.

And how do they grow?

There is nothing but war.

This step-by-step process of growth is the result of battles and the plundering of talents and other resources.

A company in a country often has a very simple personnel structure at the beginning, consisting of friends, relatives, and communities of interests. As the company continues to grow, its business scope and project management become wider and wider, it is necessary to select talents and talents.

Therefore, there are systems for selecting talents such as the Chaju System, the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, and the Imperial Examination System.

The same is true for a company that wants to develop. It needs talents.

Measures such as poaching, high-paying recruitment, social recruitment and school recruitment, and even special recruitment, special talent channels, etc. are all aimed at adding talents to the company.

Gu Qing's expectations for the future of Jiuzhou Technology are naturally extremely high.

Therefore, we attach great importance to human resources.

In the past, Jiuzhou Technology was a small temple that could not house great gods, but today's Jiuzhou Technology is no longer what it used to be, especially in the face of the coming storm, so Zhang Yuanfeng has more and thicker list information than before.

Of course, the amount of the bonus has also become larger...

While Jiuzhou Technology is busy recruiting troops and expanding, the first, second and third quarter financial reports of various manufacturers in the mobile phone market have also come out.

Thanks to the blessing of the boundary monument, in the three quarters, Xiawei's shipments surpassed Pingguo, and even rice surpassed Pingguo. From this perspective, it is really gratifying.

But the profit figures are jaw-dropping.

Apple got 70% of the profits in the mobile phone market, Samsung got 10% of the profits, but the combined domestic brand mobile phone manufacturers only got 17% of the profits.

The country with the largest shipment volume has not even received half of the profits. It is really disappointing...

Although Pingguo is an American company, it relies on the Daxia market to make a living, and what is even more outrageous is that it is "rewarded" with high publicity expenses.

Daxia's domestic Pingguo experience stores and Pingguo official website are always crowded when new products are released.

Twelve-term interest-free, stable system, high-quality ecology, "customer service" attitude, and overbearing pressure on the supply chain to provide high-quality components. There is also the B box that was marketed in previous years, plus the blessing of boundary monuments this year.

With the combination of punches, although Apple did not beat Xiawei in terms of shipments, it beat everyone in terms of profit, which is where it really makes money.

Of course, there is another very important reason why domestic mobile phone manufacturers cannot beat Apple in terms of profit margin. Except for Xia Wei, other manufacturers’ mid-to-high-end mobile phones compete with other competitors for “quality”, so almost all of them use Qualcomm chips. They are all based on the Android ecosystem, and high-end displays have to be purchased from Korean stars at a high price.

Most of the profits were made by foreign companies, leaving Daxia OEMs and suppliers with just a little bit of soup in the pork rib soup.

Unfortunately, except for Xia Wei, other companies are unable to do anything.

They cannot do without foreign suppliers, nor can they lose the Android ecosystem.

Gu Qing had obtained this information early in the morning, and of course he knew about this situation even earlier.

After this information was circulated among the media and the public, in addition to Xia Wei, companies such as Rice were criticized by many people.

Assembly factory, marketing factory, high price but low quality...

Of course, there are also some brands of mobile phones that have been brought up and whipped. For example, a certain person thought that the 5G voting incident was also brought up by the media, just to illustrate that Daxia has serious internal strife and will not strive for profits at all.

Although this is not the main reason, anger does not make people calm down and think.

In order to deal with the problem of public opinion, rice and other manufacturers can only cut off a piece of meat in a very painful way and feed it to trolls and self-media to stop them from biting people and control the direction of public opinion.

Of course, in private, senior officials from several major manufacturers also have constant meetings.

Although many of them are indeed assembly plants, relying on high-end component suppliers such as Qualcomm chips and Korean screens.

But who doesn’t want to earn a little more?

Even if some of the senior executives were senior executives of Korean stars, Google, or even Pingguo.

If a man does not act for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, and this applies to the whole world.

After many discussions, everyone unanimously turned their attention to domestic suppliers such as Jiuzhou Technology and Xiaxin Technology.

Gu Qing seemed to have said at the press conference that Suiren’s mobile phones would use screens from Kyushu Technology, right?

Recently, Xia Wei invested a huge amount of money in Shanghai Microelectronics. Is there any new results coming out?

How long will it take for Xia Xin Technology to make its chips similar to the 7nm process?

If the output and performance of MediaTek chips can be increased and the price can be lower than that of Qualcomm chips, it may not be easy for them to abandon Qualcomm, but it is not impossible to mix Qualcomm and MediaTek chips in the mid-to-high end.

Don't think that these manufacturers are really connected with foreign-funded companies such as Qualcomm.

In the first half of 2019, Qualcomm ranked first in mobile phone chips with a market share of 30%. However, compared with the data in 2018, it dropped by 15%.

In the first half of 2019, MediaTek ranked second with a market share of 25%, an increase of 10% compared to 2018.

Under the circumstances, we can naturally see the characteristics of mobile phone manufacturers - profit-seeking.

The P series and G series chips released by MediaTek in 2019 focus on mid-range camera and gaming phones, which have greatly enriched the 4G market. At the same time, the price is much lower than the same Qualcomm chips. Although there is a slight performance gap, But in the eyes of mobile phone manufacturers, this is a good bargain.

Make money, don't be embarrassed.

However, MediaTek is limited by chip manufacturing issues, and its mid-to-high-end chip production capacity is still somewhat stretched.

But as long as the photolithography machine can be solved, everything will be easy to say.

Therefore, a group of elite executives discussed and discussed, and for the sake of future market share and more profits, they all chose to wait.

After Suiren Company's first product is released and after testing Jiuzhou Technology's screens and systems, if possible, "learn" from the system design and buy some screen supplies.

I heard that MediaTek’s 5G chips are also under development. When the time comes, MediaTek’s high-end chips will be used to install their own modified systems.

Hey, we are also a purely domestic smartphone.

Once the signature products are produced, mainstream mobile phones can just use components from suppliers.

As for the original dark history?

The prodigal son can't exchange gold for his return, okay?
