20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2907

Even very capable people can often make major or even fatal misjudgments in their assessment and grasp of the future direction.

Moreover, they often show a tough attitude of refusing to listen to advice and are stubborn enough not to turn back even if they are beaten to a bloody pulp. Otherwise, so many fallen business empires throughout history would not have fallen.

So at this point in time in early 02, in the depths of the global Internet winter, there was a debate over the direction of traditional mobile phones and smart phones.

The debate is whether the mobile phone should return to its essential functions (making calls and sending text messages), or be given more external functions (folding, color screen, music player, wireless Internet access Wap, etc.).

This has led to a flourishing of the entire mobile phone industry with a variety of design directions (butterfly phones, lipstick phones, folding phones, sliding phones that can slide up, down, left, and right, half-twisted phones, car model phones, lighter phones, pet egg phones, pillow-shaped phones, square flip phones, round phones, three-door phones, two numeric keypad phones, makeup box phones, pen-shaped phones, televisions, radios, thermometers, lighters, flashlights, Swiss Army knives). Nothing is impossible.

The three plug-ins that are currently being developed or are in the process of being introduced, namely, color screen, video and camera functions, and MP3 music player, are just the relatively practical plug-in functions that have survived the test of time.

Under such circumstances, the domestic mobile phone DIY market is simply a mess. Zhao Changan would never want to rush in and be a fool when he is still not fully prepared.

The evening dinner was held in a lively and friendly atmosphere. The Central Province TV Station, Zhengzhou City TV Station, Dahe Daily, the provincial newspaper, and even a national TV station that came specially from Yanjing, all reported on and interviewed Zhao Changan, Wen Ye, and Karmin about this incident.

As the fourth-in-command of BlackBerry, a Westerner of French descent and the head of BlackBerry's global supply chain, Carmine was the key figure who was truly and deeply involved in the RIM mobile phone project throughout the entire process, so he naturally received intensive interviews from the media.

After getting accurate information from Zhao Changan, Wen Ye also communicated the sales direction of Pro with the local government in Zhengzhou before the dinner. The locals were naturally overjoyed when they received the news.

Because the first phase of the Yinnano Zhengshi mobile phone factory is designed to have three mobile phone assembly lines, with a daily output of nearly 4000 mobile phones and an annual production capacity of 150 million units.

If all of this number could be sold, the volume would have exceeded that of TCL, a domestically-owned brand of mobile phones, last year, and would have made it into the top three.

However, TCL's current momentum is so strong that if nothing unexpected happens, it will most likely surpass the second-ranked Wave Guide and the first-ranked Excellence Technology in total sales and profits this year and top the list.

However, this is also a kind of deduction behind closed doors. Xiaxin Electronics, which had previously rejected Imagination's joint venture invitation, officially launched the "dancing mobile phone Xiaxin A01" on the market less than a month ago on December 12, 18, entering the high-end mobile phone (actually a flip-folding phone) market.

Sales were hot this month and boosted sales of other models of Xaxin mobile phones.

Moreover, Xaxin put forward a slogan that it would achieve mobile phone sales of over 02 million units in 200 and become one of the top three domestically-owned brands in the country.

On the morning of August 8 last year, Hisense received the announcement from the Ministry of Information Industry that 29 companies had obtained CDMA production licenses, and announced its entry into the CDMA mobile phone market. In the afternoon, it released China's first CDMA color screen mobile phone - C19.

Haier produced 150 million mobile phones last year, but sales were a bit sluggish and it ultimately failed to beat TCL. It has apparently been trying hard to gain a share of the market in recent years.

Haier's mobile phones, in particular, have two signal standards, CDMA and GSM. It is obvious that it wants to overtake others by competing in two tracks.

Last year, Putian Dongxin's total output value reached 105 billion (own brand and Motorola). This year, it ambitiously proposed to have 02 own-brand super mobile phone production lines in 7, reaching an annual production capacity of 1000 million units.

The production capacity of a single production line is three times that of the one-nanometer Zhengzhou production line. Although people in the mobile phone industry think this is bragging, the current production capacity of mobile phone production lines, even if designed as super mobile phone production lines, can only reach 4000 per day under the condition of ensuring sufficient yield, while Eastcom claims +.

But anyway, bragging is not taxable, and ordinary people and media leaders outside are unlikely to understand these technical things, but they just feel exciting and passionate when they listen to them.

Last year, Kejian sold 120 units, and this year's target is also 200 million+ units.

Although Tianshida (Tianyu) only built one production line in 99, Gionee, AUX, BBK, Lehua, Datang and other companies that did not yet have mobile phone licenses at that time all rented its license to launch mobile phones. This year, they are also ambitious to make this joint fleet bigger and stronger.

Last year, Konka sold 52 units, Shouxin sold 70 units, the old brand mobile phone manufacturer Panda sold 70 units of its own brand, and Xiahua sold 68 units.

There are also a large number of new forces in the field of mobile phone manufacturing, such as Dibit, Inventec, Southern High-Tech, and Changhong.

Plus a large number of foreign brands.

In 99, sales of domestic independent brand mobile phone manufacturers accounted for only 2% of the domestic market share.

By the millennium, it had risen sharply to 8%.

Last year it accounted for 16%.

99年的时候，国内的移动电话用户是4082.7万，千禧年8222.9万（增量4100万），01年1.45亿（增量6299万）。

With such a huge base and incremental ratio, especially the huge success of Excellence Technology and Wave Guide, TCL has attracted many domestic home appliance companies to get ready, shouting "I can do it too!" in their hearts, and stride into the market.

Everyone knows that in the next few years, although the domestic mobile phone industry will develop by leaps and bounds, it will also be an era of blood and rain among mobile phone manufacturers. In the end, it is unknown how many companies will remain and become the final winners.

Of course, from the perspective of superiors and planners, this form of horse racing is also a very necessary thing.

Only through this kind of full competition and the survival of the fittest under the law of nature can excellent enterprises be selected.

We should support these enterprises to grow bigger and stronger, first to gain a firm foothold in the domestic market, and then take advantage of the WTO to compete overseas.

However, this kind of cold screening with the principle of "Heaven and Earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs" has doomed many companies to become the wave of oblivion from the very beginning.

So last year, Zhengzhou's leaders gritted their teeth and approved a nano-aviation port industrial cluster project for the sake of the central region's economic development. As a large number of well-known domestic companies announced their entry into the mobile phone market, it would be a lie for these leaders to say they were not nervous.

It is obvious that the core components of mobile phones are controlled by large foreign companies, and domestic factories can only do the most downstream assembly and sales, which already squeezes their profits very thin. In addition, opening a new factory requires high capital investment and a lot of advertising. They are really worried about the future of a nano mobile phone factory in China.

Until now, I heard Wen Ye’s statement that the One Nano Pro mobile phone will not be sold in China, but will be sold abroad in Europe and the United States as an affiliated brand with the same origin as BlackBerry.

The leaders were relieved and excited, thinking, "It's settled now!"
