Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 645 Cell Phone License (seeking monthly pass)

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yiming said: "I've said my ugly words before, this time I can deliver a message for you, but what effect will it have and how much damage can be recovered, I will not give you any promises, it all depends on your own luck. And only this time, not as an example. Mr. Li and I initiated the establishment of the Color TV Export Association to promote the healthy development of enterprises and urge you to innovate in science and technology, not to wipe your ass for charity. I am not a saint. The world is prosperous Everyone in the city is for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle for profit, you don’t understand this truth?”

Hearing that Lu Yiming was willing to pass on a message, the bosses who had suffered a lot were immediately grateful to Lu Yiming.

"President, I promise there will never be a next time."

"Earn a pit and gain a wisdom. In the future, when choosing a partner, you must do a good job of research, and don't be blinded by the immediate interests."

"President, how could we fall into the same pit twice in a row?"

"President, don't worry, we will only follow you from now on!"

Who is Lu Yiming?That is the existence of chatting and laughing with the richest man in the world!As long as Lu Yiming helps intercede, shouldn't the United States have to obediently make up for everyone's losses?

Everyone is full of confidence!
Lu Yiming waved his hand and said: "Don't say those flattering words. I just hope that everyone can pay attention to scientific research, work hard, and understand the truth that technology is the primary productive force. All market competition is ultimately competition of technological level. You Advanced technology means that it will be popular. So scientific research is the only way out, everyone."

Entrusted with the matter of loyalty, after returning home at night, Lu Yiming made a phone call to Epstein.

"Hi Mr. Epstein, good morning."

Epstein, who had just woken up, was having breakfast, when he received a call from Lu Yiming, he immediately smiled and said, "Morning."

Lu Yiming didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "APEX is finished now, but I haven't recovered the payment for a batch of goods. They are all belongings of my younger brothers."

Hearing that it belonged to Lu Yiming's younger brother, Epstein attached great importance to it, and after thinking about it, he said, "There are indeed a batch of color TVs in APEX's warehouse that haven't been sold in time."

Lu Yiming said: "Can you get this batch of goods out? I can make up for a little loss if I sell them again. Now that I haven't seen APEX, our cooperation will not be shaken by anyone."

There is no doubt that Lu Yiming's last sentence was exactly what Epstein liked to hear.The smile on his face was even bigger, and he said immediately: "You are my best friend and partner, since you have spoken, of course I will help you. After I finish eating, I will say hello to USDOJ and let them Prioritize paying off the debts of your friends."

Epstein's attack target is APEX, the purpose is to maintain his own interests. After all, the cooperation with Lu Yiming has made him a lot of money, and of course no one will be allowed to compete.In his opinion, there is another competitor in the business that he monopolized. How could he tolerate it?
But now, APEX is gone, and this business is still monopolized by Epstein, so everything is easy to say.It's not that I haven't sold TVs of these brands before, and now I just take them out and continue to sell them.

As for the seizure?

There is no such thing in the United States. Maybe the warehouse caught fire tonight?
This is free America, where amazing things are possible.

Lu Yiming was also very happy to see Epstein selling his face like this, and said: "I knew that you are my most trustworthy good friend. I will go to the United States in a few days, and then we must have a good drink." .”

Hearing that Lu Yiming was coming to the United States, Epstein became excited and asked impatiently, "Are you going to come to the United States? Is there any big business to make money?"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "It's really a small business, let me tell you when I go over, if it works well, we can all make some money."

When Lu Yiming said "we", Epstein became even more excited, which meant that Lu Yiming would bring him to play together again.

"Dear Lu, I knew that you must be my half brother. Remember to tell me when you come to the United States, and I will pick you up at the airport in person!"

"Haha, okay, we'll see you there then."

After getting the exact information from Epstein, Lu Yiming made another phone call to Zhong Youxiang: "Mr. Zhong, I just called the people over there, and you have prepared some legal documents and sent people to the United States to sue APEX. Recover the loss. I have already inquired, your goods are still in APEX's warehouse, and have not yet been sold, and I have also taken care of the judicial department, and I will give priority to paying off your debts at that time."

Originally, Zhong Youxiang just wanted to get back some of his money. After all, if this transaction was a pure loss, Maomao Electronics might just burp.Now that Lu Yiming said that he could pay off, he immediately jumped up for joy and hurriedly said, "Okay President, I'll prepare things right away and go to America myself!"

Later, Lu Yiming called other people and told them the news.

The news that Lu Yiming helped the members settle this matter quickly spread among the members of the Color TV Export Association.

Everyone praised Lu Yiming's high righteousness one after another. The bosses who were not convinced because of Lu Yiming's youth before, after this incident, all of them were sincerely convinced and devoted themselves to Lu Yiming.

And the entire Color TV Export Association has also become unprecedentedly united because of this incident, and has made great achievements under Lu Yiming's command from now on.

Of course, these are things for later, so let’s not press them for the time being.

Hearing that Lu Yiming called again to settle the matter, and that the instigator turned out to be Lu Yiming's partner Epstein, Li Yiwen couldn't help but feel deeply about the free competition in the United States, and then called Lu Yiming to chat about this matter.

When I learned that Rainbow Group was going to take the technical route of plasma screens, I blurted out: "Isn't this courting death?"

Except for the Rainbow Group, Xia Guo's color TV companies are all betting on the technical route of LCD screens, which shows that everyone is not stupid.

Li Yiwen finds it difficult to understand: "Isn't Ni Runfeng the most fond of price wars? LCD screens are so much cheaper than plasma screens, so he has no reason to choose plasma screens."

Lu Yiming sighed, and said, "Hey, think about it, this is actually not what he wants to choose, and in fact he doesn't have to choose now."

Li Yiwen asked, "Why didn't I have a choice?"

Lu Yiming said: "The 40 billion bad debts, the scapegoat Ni Runfeng is the one who has made the decision. After all, he was the one who made the decision to cooperate with APEX. .”

Li Yiwen was confused, and asked: "What does this have to do with choosing the technical route of the plasma screen?"

Lu Yiming said: "Currently, color TV companies across the country are betting on the technology route of LCD screens. No one is willing to develop plasma screens. This is from a commercial point of view. But Xiaguo is a big country after all, not like an island country. In such a tiny place, resources, population, and market are inherently insufficient. If you want to win, you can only rely on the luck of the country. Our Xia Kingdom is different. Since it is a big country, it naturally needs all of them. Whether it is a plasma screen or an LCD screen, the two technical routes are different. Someone has to go, no matter which route wins, Xia Guo will be the ultimate winner. That's why the Agricultural Bank of China is willing to spend 30 billion funds to renew the life of Rainbow Group, and Ni Runfeng can only rely on betting on plasma screens to temporarily secure the position of the boss Location."

From a commercial point of view, it is natural to pursue the decision-making option with the lowest risk.

But from the perspective of the country, no matter which technical route, no matter how low the probability is, you still have to bet.After all, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Only small countries make choices, while big countries must have them all.

Back to the present.There are so many players running on the liquid crystal track, and the Rainbow Group has never won before, so it is even more impossible to win now that they are seriously injured.Under such circumstances, the bank is not a fool, how could it be possible to give him money to continue burning?
Therefore, Ni Runfeng must tell a refreshing story in order to attract the attention of investors and banks, so that they can continue to support Rainbow Group.Today's two major technologies, in addition to LCD and plasma, can tell a good story.Therefore, Lu Yiming said that Ni Runfeng had no choice.

Li Yiwen said: "It seems that Ni Runfeng is not stupid."

Lu Yiming said: "If he is really a fool, how can he become the boss of Rainbow Group? He was able to lead Rainbow Group to the top of the country and become the hegemony of the industry. Naturally, his IQ is not low. It's a pity that he made a wrong choice at a key point, so No matter how smart and hard-working, it is doomed to fail. As I said before, choice is more important than hard work. Today, Ni Runfeng and Caihong Group, it can be said that they have made a wrong step and are nothing more than a dying struggle."

While chatting, Li Yiwen suddenly felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask: "I remember that you have always been unprofitable, and you will get revenge. Those guys before didn't listen to your advice and secretly went to APEX to cooperate. It’s fine if you don’t retaliate, would you be willing to repay your grievances with kindness, and give them a hand? Don’t tell me because you are the president. I always feel that you are uneasy and kind.”

Lu Yiming immediately defended himself and said: "What are you talking about? Do you think I am a profit-seeking person? It's just a small effort, everyone is from the Xia Kingdom, and I will help if I can. Do you want to let them die? Am I that cruel?"

Regarding Lu Yiming's sophistry, of course Li Yiwen didn't even believe the punctuation marks.He said enthusiastically: "Okay, we brothers are still talking about foreign things? Tell me quickly, what are you planning?"

Lu Yiming coughed a few times, and said: "Oh, it seems that you really can't hide anything from you. Well, I'll just say it directly. I've taken a fancy to the mobile phone license in Maomao Electronics' hand."

The so-called mobile phone license should be officially called "Mobile Communication System and Terminal Production Qualification". From [-] to [-], the license was issued by the Ministry of Information Industry, and in [-] it was issued by the National Development and Reform Commission.

Without this license, even if you produce a mobile phone, it is an illegal production, and there is no way to connect to the Internet, it is just electronic waste.

There are two types of licenses, namely GSM and CDMA mobile phone licenses.

GSM is GlobalSystemforMobileCommunications, Chinese translation is Global System for Mobile Communications, commonly known as GSM.

CDMA is CodeDivisionMultipleAccess, Chinese translation is code division multiple access.

Behind Maomao TV is Maomao Electronics. Although it will lose its reputation more than ten years later and fall behind in the turbulent new era, the current strength of Maomao Electronics Group is still very strong.

This is a long-established enterprise established in 120, which can be regarded as the cradle of the electronic industry in Xiaguo. It is not only the largest comprehensive electronic backbone enterprise in China, but also one of 520 pilot enterprise groups, [-] key enterprises and One of the six major groups in the electronics industry.

In addition to televisions, the products produced also include mobile communication systems, electromechanical and instrument integrated production equipment, base stations, program-controlled switches, mobile phones, washing machines, DVD players, computers, monitors, system integration, networks, software, radios, etc., completely It is a comprehensive super large company with a turnover of more than 300 billion at its peak.

Of course, the most important thing is that Maomao Electronics has a GSM mobile phone license, which is what Lu Yiming urgently needs now.

These days, without a mobile phone license, one is not qualified to create an independent mobile phone brand. In September [-], among the first batch of mobile phone licenses issued, there was only one private company, Techstar, and the rest were either foreign-funded or state-owned. Don't even think about it.

And this situation will continue until October 2, when the mobile phone production approval system will be abolished. At that time, the era of 3G mobile phone licenses will officially end, and Xia Guo will gradually enter the era of [-]G smart phones.

If Mingyuan Technology wants to rise in the era of 3G smartphones, it is inevitable to plan ahead in the 2G era and accumulate related technologies.

After all, a smartphone is still a mobile phone after all, and the basic communication functions must be guaranteed, and these are not something that can be obtained by patting the brain, but must be actually put into production and sales, and constantly discover and solve problems.

Not to mention reaching the level of Nokia, but at least it must be at the level of Samsung.

Therefore, the issue of mobile phone licenses had to be resolved.

Hearing Lu Yiming's words, Li Yiwen felt relieved, and said with a smile: "I knew that you have no advantage for not getting up early."

Mobile phone licenses are something that even money can't buy now.

For example, the relationship between Lu Yiming and Chen Weirong is quite good, and Konka also has a mobile phone production license, but if Lu Yiming went to Chen Weirong to discuss licensing issues, it would still be out of the question.

why?
Because the mobile phone license is like a money printing machine right now, who can use the money printing machine for others?
Li Yiwen went on to say: "I think this matter should be quite difficult. Are you sure Maomao Electronics will be willing to sell you the license plate inside?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Sell? What are you doing in the spring and autumn dream? Selling is impossible, but you can find a way to promote the cooperation between Maomao Electronics and Mingyuan Technology, and then establish a joint venture company."

In fact, when the mobile phone license approval system was implemented, three thresholds were set for mobile phone manufacturers to enter. First, a registered capital of more than [-] million yuan; second, continuous operation for more than two years; certified.However, except for the first batch of manufacturers that issued licenses that strictly met the above-mentioned conditions, later on, small manufacturers successively obtained mobile phone licenses by merging funds of multiple companies.

Lu Yiming planned to do just that.

Li Yiwen asked: "Is it feasible? Are you sure they will agree?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Do you think I made a decision by patting my head? I asked someone before. After getting the license, Maomao and Ericsson established a joint venture company in Jinling, and began to produce Ericsson and Maohuai at the same time. Maomao mobile phone. At the beginning, Maomao mobile phone sold very well, and became the market leader for a while, after all, it was the first batch of companies to obtain a license, and the first-mover advantage was great.”

Speaking of this, Lu Yiming paused, and his expression was a little emotional: "Unfortunately, in the advancement of the second generation of mobile phones, Maomao, who do not understand the market and lack marketing methods, began to lag behind. Now the entire industry has introduced production lines, OEM , All kinds of advertisements are overwhelming, and the popularity is getting higher and higher. In contrast, the Maomao mobile phone, which has been relying on its own money, seems too low-key, and the limelight is immediately overshadowed."

In [-], Maomao Electronics launched Xiaguo's first domestic brand mobile phone to the market.You know, all the mobile phones at that time were foreign brands, and there was only Maomao in China.

However, the speed of upgrading electronic products is too fast. Maomao Electronics, a veteran brand in the era of analog signal mobile phones, is not good at all in the era of 2G digital signal mobile phones.

Li Yiwen said: "So, at present, Maomao Electronics urgently needs to make up for its weakness in market sales?"

"Yes, Maomao Electronics has products and certain technical achievements, but the effect of product design and marketing is not satisfactory. And this is the opportunity of Mingyuan Technology."

At noon the next day, Lu Yiming called Zhong Youxiang.

"Mr. Zhong, what are you doing? I plan to treat you to a meal at noon today. Do you think you are free?"

Zhong Youxiang suddenly received a call from Lu Yiming, and invited him to dinner, which immediately made him feel a little at a loss.

He racked his brains and couldn't figure out why Lu Yiming invited him to dinner, and he felt very uneasy.

But Lu Yiming invited guests, and he couldn't refuse to go, so he had no choice but to go to the banquet with full of suspicion.

In a high-end restaurant, Zhong Youxiang met Lu Yiming, and greeted him somewhat stiffly, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "Mr. Zhong, sit down."

Zhong Youxiang sat down cautiously, and asked, "President Lu invited me to dinner, I'm really flattered."

Lu Yiming was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Today, Mr. Zhong is invited out for dinner, the main reason is to discuss a business with you."

As the so-called cannibal has a soft mouth and short hands, Zhong Youxiang, who promised a few days ago that he would go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire, how could he dare to refuse, so he could only tentatively ask: "I don't know what business Mr. Lu wants to talk to me about?"
