Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"Huge Internet user base? How is this possible? How many people can access the Internet? We only have a total of 15 Internet users!" He Jianye asked even more puzzled.

"That's a good question! How many people can get online?" Yang Mo looked at He Jianye meaningfully.

"You mean to find a way to lower Internet charges?" He Jianye asked thoughtfully.

"Not only the cost of Internet access, but also the price of personal computers, we must find ways to lower it so that computers can enter the homes of ordinary people. The huge base of Internet users is the foundation for the development of the Internet!" Yang Mo said solemnly.

He Jianye shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Isn't this impossible? A computer can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan. The most common low-end home computer costs 6000 or [-] yuan. How can ordinary working-class families afford it?"

"We need to find ways to lower the price of computers through government subsidies, so that home computers can transform from luxury goods into consumer goods for ordinary families!" Yang Mo continued.

He Jianye drank down the glass of wine and sighed: "Oh! How can it be so easy? Even if a computer subsidy is 500 yuan, for 100 million computers, the country will have to provide a subsidy of 5 million yuan, how can it be So much spare money?”

"Director He, if you invest 5 million now, you may get an Internet industry revolution with a scale of [-] billion or [-] trillion. I believe that the leaders above are still willing to take a gamble..." Yang Mo explained.

"The country is poor! It's not like you don't know that although this idea is good, it is also very practical!" He Jianye murmured a few words to himself, suddenly his heart moved, he raised his head and stared at Yang Mo...

"Why are you staring at me? Let me make it clear first, I have no money!" Yang Mo quickly expressed his attitude!

"Why are you crying about being poor? It's not like I won't pay you back..." He Jianye said.

Yang Mo pondered for a long time and then said: It is not impossible for us Zhiyuan to borrow this money!But I have a condition..."

"What conditions?"

"This affordable computer project must be led by our Zhiyuan Group!" Yang Mo said.

"Haha, you can't afford to go early if you don't have any profit! Zhiyuan Group produces computers, and the state subsidizes you to open the market..." He Jianye laughed.

Yang Mo smiled bitterly and said: "Director He, you only saw the robbers eating meat, but you didn't see the robbers being beaten! Zhiyuan is losing money to earn shouting! It will take billions of yuan to invest to start this plan. Once the later promotion fails, These billions have been wasted. If the promotion is successful, it is not Zhiyuan Group alone that benefits, but the entire high-tech Internet industry..."

After He Jianye pondered for a long time, he shook his head and said: "This plan is indeed a good way to open up the situation, but it is difficult to be approved. Unless your Zhiyuan Group agrees to cooperate with Lenovo and Great Wall to promote this project, it will be difficult to pass..."

"Cooperating with Lenovo and Great Wall?" Yang Mo asked in confusion.

He Jianye said with a wry smile: "Lenovo is a subsidiary of the Institute of Computer Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Great Wall Computer is a state-owned enterprise jointly run by the Computer Industry Administration and the Sixth Institute of Electronics of the Ministry of Electronics. In the current domestic computer market, Great Wall and Lenovo's market shares are also ranked first and first respectively. Secondly, how could such a big plan bypass them?"

"There is only a market of hundreds of thousands of computers, and most of them are purchased by the government. How can there be no market share..." Yang Mo said disapprovingly.

"That's what I'm worried about. Based on my understanding of your Zhiyuan Group, even without state subsidies, you can push your competitors into dire straits. If you lead this plan, I'm worried that both Great Wall and Lenovo will be in trouble. This can These are some of the few high-tech companies in our country that can take advantage of them! Don't mess with Huang..." He Jianye said with a bitter smile.

Yang Mo secretly cursed in his heart, this Great Wall can be regarded as a well-established state-owned enterprise, let alone some agency companies!Through assembly and dumping, we took away the market share of domestic computer companies such as Great Wall, Founder, and Tongfang, and took away most of the government procurement...

A company like this would collapse, so why would he act in tears?Or is he trying to stab one of his own people at the most critical moment?

Thinking of this, Yang Mo became more determined to get involved in the personal computer market. Some companies that are trying to make a profit are better to nip them in the bud, just like the Qiongzhou real estate bubble, which made Pan Shanqi finally sign a huge loan shark and escape from debt. I’m afraid Qiongzhou will never be able to turn around in this life. Soho is gone, and tens of billions have not been transferred abroad. I wonder if Harvard University will not be able to survive without his 6 million donation?

"Mr. Yang? You don't want to cooperate with them?" He Jianye looked at Yang Mo who was deep in thought and asked in confusion.

"Director He, can you introduce in detail the ownership structure and technical strength of these two companies?" Yang Mo asked pretending to be casual after being stunned for a moment.

He Jianye nodded and said: "Great Wall is a wholly-owned enterprise held by the Sixth Institute of Electronics of the Ministry of Electronics. As a true state-owned enterprise, Great Wall has shouldered the important task of revitalizing the computer industry since its establishment. Over the years, Great Wall has also followed the independent research and development route. In addition to the CPU, the motherboard, power supply, and monitor can all be designed and produced by ourselves..."

"Where's Lenovo?" Yang Mo nodded and continued to ask.

He Jianye pondered for a moment and then said: "Lenovo is a company under the Computing Technology Research Institute, and its equity is currently 100% wholly owned by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, after it was listed in Xiangjiang last year, the core management proposed a new dividend plan, specifically: 20% from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 45% for the computer lab, 35% for the management and employees..."

Yang Mo shook his head and said: "35% option incentive? Unheard of!"

He Jianye smiled bitterly and said: "As for the equity reform, the superiors are still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. Lenovo's management has indeed worked hard on the development of the company, and the superiors only agreed to the 35% dividend right proposed by the management!"

Yang Mo said disdainfully: "Hard work pays off? Most of the profits in the PC industry chain are eaten up by big items such as CPUs, hard drives, and monitors. A computer worth thousands or even tens of thousands falls into the hands of domestic assembly companies." The profit is probably less than [-]%, and the [-]% profit is just a dividend from the country's economic development! Director He, I am not being alarmist. Without investment in R&D of your own, it is equivalent to exchanging the market for dumping by developed countries, strangulation and castration. It’s our own high-tech industry..."

"Is it as serious as you said?" He Jianye was dumbfounded and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"For example, for the same two companies that produce computers, company A is a borrowing system and does not need to invest in R&D expenses. All key components are imported from abroad, while company B must invest at least one-third of its profits in R&D. , what will happen?" Yang Mo asked.
