Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Mr. Robertson, our production capacity depends on how fast you pay. We have hundreds of millions of laborers in China. As long as we pay enough, it is easy to produce millions of units a day."

Xu Huasheng said confidently.

In China, don't say that there is not enough production capacity for many things. As long as there is enough money, the production capacity will definitely increase rapidly.

Besides, in the current mobile phone manufacturing industry, China has no bottlenecks at all. All the parts on the Huasheng S1 mobile phone come from China. As long as the money is in place, the production line will be expanded immediately, and the corresponding industrial chain capacity will also increase rapidly.

At that time, we will have as much production capacity as we want.

Hearing Xu Huasheng's words, Robertson became excited.

In fact, Robertson could guess the reason why Chris was willing to give a ten-month buffer period. In ten months, how much can a new product be produced even if it is fully produced?

Chris didn't know much about China. Chris only used Motorola's own production capacity to estimate. In ten months, Motorola estimated that it might only have a production capacity of one million units per month. In ten months, it would be a very impressive production capacity to produce 10 million units.

Chris didn't think that the production capacity of Huasheng Group could be better than Motorola. After all, it was the world's most powerful communications company. It was just a coincidence that they got ahead with 2G mobile phones.

And now Xu Huasheng actually said that the production capacity of one million units per day is possible, which is simply too incredible. What is this? This is money. As long as the communication network is successful, as many mobile phones as possible can be sold in the early stage. As long as the price is right, the most ordinary American people can afford it.

"If we place an order for 30 million units, what is the price?"

Robertson directly quoted a very terrifying order, and Xu Huasheng's breathing became heavy when he received this order.

30 million units, if a mobile phone makes a profit of 500 US dollars, this order will make a profit of up to 15 billion US dollars.

This is true for Huasheng Group, and it is also true for Robertson and others. This profit is simply a robbery.

"1,200 US dollars, offshore price, delivered in batches, but the deposit is at least 30%..."

Xu Huasheng pondered for a while and said a price.

"Xu, this price is too high. We have quite a few people sharing the cake here. And the price of this phone in the United States cannot be higher than the price in Saudi Arabia. It can only be sold for 1,500 US dollars or even lower, 800 US dollars..."

Robertson directly stated his price.

"Mr. Robertson, you are bargaining too hard. 800 US dollars is not enough. The cost price is more than that. We need to invest a lot of money in the early stage to expand the industrial chain and the assembly plant. Do you know how much these investments will be? Moreover, the cost of chip production is very high, and the price of lithium batteries is also very high now, and you want the goods so urgently..."

In the room, the two people began to bargain. This bargaining can really be said to be a dollar-by-dollar bargaining, because the order volume is too large, and the fluctuation of one dollar up or down will result in a profit difference of 30 million US dollars.

After a round of bargaining, the final price was bitten by Xu Huasheng at the offshore price of 1,000 US dollars per unit. He would not lower the price no matter what. Not only that, the deposit must be paid 40%.

Robertson finally had to compromise. Business is like this. Robertson couldn't fall out with Xu Huasheng because of the price. What's more, the price of $1,000 was already within Robertson's expected price. Although Robertson said that this phone can only be sold for $1,500 in the United States, in fact, after the product is launched, these capitalists will raise the price even higher. It is normal to sell it for $2,500 or even more.

The price of $1,000 is a price that both parties can accept.

For Robertson, after getting the goods at this price, the net profit of a mobile phone can be at least $500, which is already very impressive. Although some products of the Wosheng brand have higher profits than mobile phones, the market of those products cannot be compared with mobile phones at all, and the sales volume is also a world apart.

The profits of Huasheng Group are even greater. Robertson, a big man, will definitely be jealous when he knows about it.

Huasheng Group controls the entire industrial chain. It owns its own chips, patents, and various components. It also owns its own batteries and assembly factories. This is the layout of the entire industrial chain.

Calculated in this way, with such a large order volume, the cost price of a mobile phone is at most 300 US dollars, and this is under the condition of leaving workers with generous wages. If Huasheng Group is a sweatshop, the cost price of the entire mobile phone can be reduced to 200 US dollars or even lower.

Huasheng Group can earn 700 US dollars for a mobile phone, 30 million30 million orders, what a terrifying profit.

After all the orders for 30 million units are shipped, that is 21 billion US dollars in profit. Isn't this just robbing money? In this era, even in Europe and the United States, companies with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars are super giants. And for China, this order has a total output value of 30 billion US dollars. This order can drive too many things.

He was ruthless, this time Robertson was ruthless.

The current US population is about 250 million. Excluding children and the poor, the total market volume of the entire US is probably only about 100 million units.

Now Robertson wants 30 million at once. After these goods go out, he will directly grab about one-third of the market.

When Motorola's products come out, Robertson and his team will definitely cut prices to further grab the market. By then, Motorola will be a new product with an expensive price. What can they use to compete with Robertson and his team? As for price wars, Wosheng has made a lot of money and is not afraid of price wars.

This is just in the United States. You should know that Canada has a population of nearly 30 million and a market of nearly 10 million.

Mobile phones are now extremely profitable. Just the United States and Canada are enough to make Robertson and his team crazy. Not to mention the European market. If everything goes well, Robertson can make another Wal-Mart Group in a few years. What a proud thing.

However, in Xu Huasheng's eyes, they are just high-level workers, and the real profit is on his side. But Xu Huasheng will not say that making a fortune is the kingly way. Anyway, he is not a listed company and does not need to publish financial reports. Just keep it down.

"Xu, this market is huge and the cake is also huge. We can't take this cake with our current capabilities. So Wosheng Group needs to introduce new shareholders, and after our mobile phones occupy a certain market scale, Wosheng will be listed in the United States..."

Robertson looked at Xu Huasheng and said another important thing.

Introducing new shareholders is a must. In addition to pulling a few more powerful people on board, Robertson's biggest goal is to reduce Huasheng Group's shares in Wosheng Group.

Now Huasheng Group has too many shares in Wosheng. As a supplier of mobile phones, Huasheng Group has made a lot of money. If it makes a lot of money from Wosheng now, then Huasheng will get too much.

Especially in the future, Wosheng will go public, and its market value will definitely be terrifying after listing. Therefore, Huasheng Group's shares must be reduced. Robertson's goal is to make Huasheng Group's shares before Wosheng Group goes public less than 10%.

Xu Huasheng looked at Robertson and understood Robertson's plan.

"Okay, no problem..."

Xu Huasheng did not refuse. Xu Huasheng had already prepared for the reduction of Huasheng Group's shares in Wosheng.

Let it be reduced, it will come sooner or later. Wosheng Group is making so much money now, and the Americans have long been envious of their shares.

What Xu Huasheng has to do now is very simple, that is, to take control of the entire semiconductor industry chain. While earning high profits from the industry chain, establish the most complete and competitive semiconductor industry chain in China.

Once this industrial chain is built, it will not only make a lot of profits, but also provide a large number of high-paying jobs for China. At the same time, it will also promote the cultivation and accumulation of talents in this field in China, making this advantage bigger and bigger, and finally becoming a giant that no one can compete with.

Compared with this goal, Wosheng’s shares are nothing. As long as Wosheng does not build its own industrial chain, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a powerful comprador.
