Chapter 419 Stardust Communication

Wu Haijun saw that Yang Xing did not refuse, and knew that there was a way, so he quickly introduced Qin Haijun's experience. This boss who started out as an electronic OEM can be regarded as an alien in the IT industry. He has been involved in computer graphics cards, motherboards, computer audio and other OEM fields, and has done a lot of work. Finally, the cheap computer "Shenzhou" computers he made all his efforts to create have repeatedly played a challenger in domestic computer sales, constantly breaking the psychological price of the computer market, setting off a frenzy of price reduction, forcing his opponents to have to lower prices. Finally, the prices of desktop computers and laptops have finally changed from high-consumption products to daily necessities that are indispensable to ordinary people's homes.

Yang Xing did not expect that he had the idea of ​​making domestic mobile phones. I believe that in the following years, domestic mobile phones produced low-priced mobile phones by using the OEM model to produce low-priced mobile phones, which once occupied most of the domestic mobile phone market, causing domestic mobile phone manufacturers to expand themselves. Unexpectedly, the core technology of mobile phones was mastered in the hands of large foreign manufacturers, but was defeated by others and failed. It was not until ten years later that they slowly recovered.

It is probably this reason that made him pass by this booming industry, but the ability of this genius has been revealed through the three-way sliding phone that Wu Haijun brought. Even Yang Xing couldn't help but be moved after seeing it. He wanted to include this talent under his belt, which was like a tiger with Stardust Communications, a subsidiary of Xingyun Electronics, which is striving to compete with foreign mobile phone manufacturers. However, through conversations with Wu Haijun, Yang Xing realized that this business expert was a proud and arrogant person, and it would not be so simple to convince people. If he wanted to impress him, he still needed to show his real skills.

Qin Haijun proposed that providing mobile phone OEM production for Stardust Communication is actually a "curve-curve-saving country" method that many powerful private enterprises are trying to enter the lucrative mobile phone industry. It was forced out. Because the initial mobile phone production license in China adopted the access system, which is a method often used in China to protect the national industry. That is, only enterprises that obtain mobile phone production licenses issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can allow mobile phones to be produced in China. In addition to paying high import tariffs, foreign mobile phone companies can only produce mobile phones in the mainland in the domestic market, and in addition to paying high import tariffs, they can only produce mobile phones in the mainland with companies with mobile phone licenses. Even if other domestic companies have the strength to produce mobile phones, they cannot enter the mobile phone industry without mobile phone licenses. Before obtaining mobile phone licenses issued by the Chinese government, they can only choose companies that obtain licenses to produce and sell mobile phones in the name of their brand. This is what is commonly known as "official-label mobile phones".

Originally, as a sign of supporting national industry, the issuance of mobile phone licenses is obviously inclined to the state-owned electronics manufacturers. In order to allow Stardust Communication to obtain the first batch of mobile phone licenses, Yang Xing introduced a huge bait for three standard mobile phone baseband chips, GSM, CDMA and Xiaolingtong, which was developed by itself, and used "Xiaolingtong" to lure China Telecom, which did not have a mobile operation license, to lobby together, and then won the license to produce three standard wireless communication equipment at the same time.

Now, China Telecom has been able to share the world with mobile phones in the fiercely competitive wireless communication market with the advantages of Xiaolingtong's low power long standby and cheap phone bills equivalent to local phone calls. Unicom has been able to share the world with China Unicom in the fiercely competitive wireless communication market. Unicom is also in a terrifying way that Stardust Communication can provide pure domestic CDMA standard communication network machines. Faced with the fierce offensive of mobile communication companies in the GSM mobile network standard market, it resolutely made the decision to give up the development of GSM network construction and rely entirely on the CDMA network to build its own mobile communication network. Now the CDMA networks all over the country have begun to take shape. Unicom has adopted the model of custom mobile phones adopted by foreign telecommunications companies to save phone bills and fight a price war with mobile phones. As the customized mobile phones launched by Unicom in this event, Stardust Communication's A-series, C-series, S-series and other mobile phones monopolize almost all models.

With the core technology of Xiaolingtong and CDMA standard mobile network devices, Stardust Communications almost exclusively controlled the supply of wireless devices and terminal mobile phones of these two major wireless operators, and occupied nearly half of the domestic mobile phone market a few years earlier than in the previous life. At this time, anyone with discerning eyes in China could see that except for foreign monks such as Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Samsung, etc., Stardust Communications is the most likely to win the overlord of mobile phone production in China. The huge profits brought by this unique business have made domestic electronic manufacturers jealous, and there are many people who want to discuss cooperation with Stardust Communications. This is no wonder Qin Haijun is willing to hand over his mobile phone patents and only wants to obtain a license to produce private-label mobile phones for Stardust Communications.

Yang Xing is not against mobile phone OEMs. Stardust Communications Company has now accepted a lot of orders from OEMs and ODMs, and is also entering the Obm (self-branded production) market. However, he disagrees with Qin Haijun's idea of ​​making Qin Haijun produce private phones for himself. He understands Qin Haijun's idea. He has a very good idea. He can use Stardust Communications' name to produce mobile phones, so that his factory can obtain orders and increase the factory's production capacity. This only requires paying a part of Stardust Telecom's profit. The mobile phones he produces can be subject to the Stardust Telecom brand, and there is no need to worry about procurement, research and development, sales, etc. The products are distributed through Zhongxing Group's sales channels. If there are any quality issues, Stardust Communications can bear the reputation and easily obtain high profits. Why not do it?

But Yang Xing had his own ideas. He was still scared of the chaotic competition of domestic mobile phones after the mobile phone market opened a few years later. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Stardust Communication to dominate the world to set a standard for orderly competition in domestic mobile phones. He did not directly oppose Qin Haijun's suggestion, but pulled Wu Haijun and said: "It's been a long time since I looked at the achievements of those guys in the Stardou Research Institute. Let's go and see what new things they have made." Wu Haijun heard something in his boss's words, so he followed him without saying anything.

The headquarters of Stardou Research Institute is located in an experimental building at the University of Hong Kong. It is only temporarily rented for research. It will be moved to the new building once Sky Star City is completed. Although the environment is a bit cramped, the scientific research equipment used in it is the latest and cutting-edge of the same era. Yang Xing has never been stingy in investing in scientific research. He has always believed that a company wants to survive and develop in fierce competition, which is inseparable from unique technical patents. How dare you challenge those century-old multinational stores without unique art?

Therefore, even in the early stage of the company, compared with 5%-10% of the R&D funds of large international enterprises, he would have to invest 20% of the profit in R&D funds, and the R&D funds of domestic enterprises must be one in the sky and the other in the ground. With the high R&D investment and the big weight of Yang Xing’s rebirth advantage, Xingdou Research Institute, as the scientific research department of the entire group, has achieved many excellent results far exceeding its competitors. Because Hong Kong is small in space, many giant equipment similar to Star Manufacturing will not be exhibited here, so more exhibits here are small exhibits from companies such as Nebula Electronics and Starmei Fashion.

They were greeted by Li Kaifu, the current director of Xingdou Research Institute. Everyone was acquaintance. After meeting, Yang Xing directly proposed to show Wu Haijun. Wu Haijun waited for Li Kaifu to come up with something new and let him see how Yang Xing convinced Qin Haijun, the business genius second only to Yang Xing. He had seen most of the products here, and some of them would be exhibited at the Second World Conference of Zhongxing Group a few days later. He was familiar with this, but he had never heard of this "spring".

This time, he took the initiative to recommend Qin Haijun to Yang Xing because he wanted to cooperate with the group company and Qin Haijun. He believed that this was a win-win solution. Although Stardust Communications has taken a lot of advantages in the domestic market, it took the lead with several new feature phones released in front of the industry peers last year. The big sale of S1 smartphones has made Stardust Telecom win a lot of reputation. But internationally, it is only a budding latecomer. Compared with internationally renowned large companies like Nokia and Motorola, sales performance and output are much inferior. This industry is very fierce. Today's success does not mean always success. Stardust Telecom does need to expand its production capacity in a short time to occupy more market share.

But this was not something that happened overnight. Stardust Communication began to produce mobile phones for only two or three years, and the gap in strength with traditional mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Ericsson is very obvious. Wu Haijun thought that someone is willing to produce private-label mobile phones for Stardust Telecom. As long as it can control the quality and the company's core technology, breaking through the bottleneck of the production capacity in one fell swoop, what's the benefit for both parties? But from the meaning of Yang Xing's words, he obviously has other plans. It will be difficult for him to find someone he admires in his life. Even Qin Haijun, a friend, only admires and does not admire him. But in recent years, the only person he has convinced is the young man who is about the same age as his son. His layout in terms of business has been very long-term. He is curious about what better suggestions Yang Xing can put forward.

At this time, Li Kaifu came over and handed them a mobile phone circuit board. Wu Haijun was an expert in this field. He could see at a glance that this circuit board integrates an amazingly complete electronic components. The lines all over the motherboard are connected to mobile phone baseband chips, signal control chips, power management chips, and digital music decoding chips. Almost all basic functions of mobile phones are available. Several staff members powered up the motherboard and connected the video output to an LCD screen.

After a brief start-up screen, a line of Chinese and English letters "spring" (spring). Immediately with the operation of the staff, most of the functions of the mobile phones were interpreted one by one. The nine-grid mode of the mobile phone interface menu was clearly visible, and the refreshing and concise operation method was enough to meet the needs of ordinary mobile phone users. In particular, this kind of mobile phone can support more than a dozen languages, especially the built-in t9 Chinese input method is a new patent developed by Xingdou Research Institute. Even many foreign mobile phone manufacturers have to spend a lot of money to purchase this Chinese input technology for their products.
