industrial maniac

Chapter 260 I wonder if you want a large particle collider?

"You may not know that the Blackstone Group is attacking Renipfei Studio on Nasdaq. You say, how should I treat you?"

The three representatives of the Union Box Group, upon hearing the question, looked at each other in blank dismay, just like the representatives of Seventh Century taking a business trip in a naked bath.

The man leading the team hesitated and said, "Mr. Xu, are you talking about us?"

"Is there anyone else here?"

When it comes to investigating corporate backgrounds, no one knows better than Xu Fei.

There is a central enterprise management committee in China, there are the Bank of China, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and the Agricultural Bank of China. Check the bank flow and whereabouts of funds, and there is about a 50% probability of finding the truth.

There are overseas strategic partners Bain Capital, Carlyle Investments, TEP Group, Pupu's business premises, Boston Police Department, Massachusetts State Police Department, and recently began to infiltrate the Texas Police Department...and there is a 50% probability of discovery the truth.

Combine the two, and then use the world's largest hacker organization 'Red Eagle Alliance-TEP Computer Service Company' to run all the computers of the subject of investigation to have a look.

It is estimated that the official investigation agencies are not as accurate as their own.

For this reason, Xu Fei plans to create a separate section on Souhu.com to inquire about the company's shareholding structure in order to cover up his own investment relationship.

In other words, as long as their own family is the most authoritative, no one will believe that TEP, Tiepi, Daze, and Lei Ze are actually one family.

And the Union Box Group.

Take it seriously, it's a little complicated.

To put it bluntly, it was a bit like Xu Fei asked the fourth secretary to go out to do business.

The fourth secretary is different from the first secretary, second secretary, and third secretary. He belongs to the Youth League and is at the same level as the township head Liu Sixi.

After the fourth secretary went out, he found that Hongqi Motors had purchased a batch of computers that needed inspection, assembly, maintenance, and training, so he greeted Director Xu, and led a group of people to win the business and make a small profit.

Afterwards, the fourth secretary found out that the Youth League wanted to buy a computer, so he said hello to Director Xu again, and took the funds from the Youth League to help the Youth League purchase computers, and made a fortune from it.

After that, the fourth secretary found out that Zeshi wanted to buy a computer, and by virtue of the relationship between Director Xu and Cheng Guang, he won the business and made another sum of money.

In this way, the company of the fourth secretary existed under the name of "Red Flag Technology" in the early stage, and later set up a batch of production lines for the production of computer casings and microcomputer boards, and packaged the assembled computers into its own brand, and took a nice name. Four Secret Group'.

However, with the acceleration of the reform process, many things are changing.

For example, before 93, importing personal computers required approval documents. The Fourth Secret Group had official skins and connections, and was very popular and profitable. But in 94, the approval documents were cancelled, and anyone could import, and the 200% tariff was reduced to 20%. .

As a result, there was a pillar surnamed Shi who ran to make health care products.

The Fourth Secretary took a look, it was impossible to go on like this.

In particular, the computer shells and microcomputer boards produced by ourselves cost more than imported ones, but their performance is worse than imported ones.

Therefore, the fourth secretary dismantled the "four secretaries group" based on the idea of ​​"buying is worse than building".

One still uses the old name, relies on the relationship with the electronics industry organization, imports duty-free accessories from overseas, and builds an assembly plant while relying on the relationship to frantically win the computer procurement bidding from the official organization.

It was very similar to the procurement business of the supply and marketing agency that Director Xu had just handed over to Qixi Computer.

The other is named Digital China, which is mainly engaged in IT service business and sent to Hong Kong for listing to attract funds.

Then foreign capital was attracted.

The first consortium to try early adopters was not Blackstone, but 'Softbank', which is deeply rooted in the East.

What is Ali, what is Yiwang, what is Xinlang, and the newly emerging Shanda, Renren, Ctrip, Dangdang, PPTV, including Founder Holdings and UnionPay Commerce, are all Softbank investments.

With such a strong relationship with the fourth secretary, Sun Zhengyi has no reason not to contact her.

The bastards of the two parties saw Mung Bean, and hit it off as soon as they came into contact, and established 'Four Secret Holdings'.

As a result, the "Four Secret Group", which assembles computers, has become a branch company. Director Xu, who secretly invested in the computer industry, also lost the right to speak to the "Four Secret Group" due to the dilution of shares.

Director Xu must be unhappy, and intends to trouble the fourth secretary, but Softbank has invested in so many companies in the East, how can there be no big tree to rely on?

Moreover, in order to balance the relationship between the two parties, Softbank directly brought in its own investor, the Blackstone Group, as the investment subject of the 'Four Secret Group'.

This Blackstone is not the Blackstone Fund, but a top-notch investment consortium, even stronger than the Carlyle consortium that has been acquired by Xiaobu recently.

In North America, it is second only to Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Rothschild.

The above three companies, together with Blackstone, are also SoftBank’s largest investors.

That's pretty much it.

From this we can understand why the United Box Group recently broke through the "arrangement mechanism" and talked about mergers and acquisitions with IBM.

Even in the future, certain loss-making companies in North America will be taken over by the Headbox Group.

Then, the "Director Xu" mentioned above is actually the Academy of Sciences, and the "Four Secretaries" mentioned above are actually the creators of the header. (anti-harmony)

And now, the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering are cooperating with the Iron Sheet Company.

As an official, Xu Fei shorted Softbank, so as to help the leader vent his anger and make some money by the way.

However, the three representatives who came to discuss business this time obviously did not understand that there were so many inside stories.

After hearing the story, I didn't know how to make a decision for a while.

Xu Fei took the mobile phone and looked through the files of the three of them.

"One project manager, two technical executives... What do you think of the prospects of Seventh Company?"

The project manager thought for a while, "Back to Director Xu, if what you said is true, the domestic computer market in the future is very likely to be divided equally by Headbox, HP, Dell, Asus, and Acer. Brands, with a high probability of being downgraded by chip supply, increase chip purchase prices, thereby increasing costs, making their own brands lose market competitiveness and eventually disappear, unless they are 'joint ventures'.

In addition, if self-developed chips, third-party chipsets, such as graphics cards, motherboards, sub-boards, IC substrates, and even audio interfaces, sockets, etc., will not be compatible.

In other words, to create a computer that is not compatible with market products, the system, software, and network services must be started from scratch. "

Xu Fei must know this, the problem is...

"The world-renowned statistics company - TEP Data Center, once conducted a survey covering the whole world.

Ordinary people use only 5% of computer functions.

Among these 5%, the browser accounts for the highest proportion, followed by office and games.

And, for those who are new to computers, gaming is the only function.

In other words, when a person enters an Internet cafe, from getting on the computer to getting off the computer, he drags the mouse, and there is a high probability that he will only click on the game icon.

In China, let alone, the purpose of entering Internet cafes is to play games.

Oh, and one more thing, chat software. "

When Xu Fei said this, he suddenly thought of Zhang Chaoyang.

The dot-com bubble spread to the whole world, causing heavy losses to the IT industry. Many Internet companies have sold off technologies and programs in order to survive or stop losses.

Oicq, which has been popular since the year before last, found Zhang Chaoyang and was willing to sell it for 50 red notes.

Lao Zhang thought that the design of this software was so crude, and he could find a few technical secondary school students from TEP to make a better one in three or two weeks, so he refused.

'If you bought it at the beginning, you would embed it in a browser, office software, and a reinstallation mechanic. '

'Basically meet the needs of ordinary people on the Internet. '

Xu Fei thought about it, wrote down the four functions on the paper, and looked at the three representatives of the header.

Although the header belongs to a joint venture assembly plant, but its size is definitely better than Qixi, who is unwilling to make a joint venture and works behind closed doors, and also belongs to the assembly plant.

Moreover, the so-called private brands are actually assembly plants. After all, no one can manufacture computer CPUs and corresponding graphics cards.

"Constitute these four functions into a 'host machine' in the form of components and embedded systems, and then set up a display to form a 'microcomputer'. Do you think there is any idea?"

"Is there any difference between you and Xiaobawang learning machine + independent monitor?"

"Yes, I can insert cards to add more games."

"Xiaobawang learning machine can also insert cards."

"What do you mean, you're out of your mind?"

"..."

"Go out and turn right and walk 50 meters. There is a bus stop. Take the No. 4 bus. No matter which direction you go, you can go directly to the river embankment. I won't say more. You can figure it out. Otherwise, the whole family will peel garlic."

"Director, there's something wrong!"

The project director who led the team, blessed to the heart, said seriously: "I think it is very interesting in China!"

"Tell me."

"You also said just now that the usage rate of computer functions by ordinary people is less than 5%. In China, computers have just emerged. If there is no supply and marketing of computer rooms, it will not even reach the level of popularity.

In particular, we have also conducted investigations, and those farmers who often come and go to the supply and marketing computer room are mainly to sell agricultural products, comprador daily necessities, and then play games.

So much so that the slogan of this year's computer market is gaming performance.

Then, for those who are new to computers, from industrial microcomputers..."

"Good name!"

"Well, let them start with industrial microcomputers. As long as they have a browser to surf the Internet, games to kill time, chat tools to date online, and text files to record things, our computer will become popular."

"well said."

"The most important thing is that the manufacturing cost of this kind of computer is 200 yuan at most, plus a monitor worth 1000 to [-] yuan, as well as audio, headphones, etc., the whole set is less than [-] yuan.

If it is installed in all supply and marketing computer rooms, the operating cost will drop, and the Internet access fee will drop...enough to crush all Internet cafes and monopolize the Eastern computer market. "

"I thought so too, and handed over the business to Qixi."

"Then can we go?"

"Do you want me to be scolded to death by the people of the whole country?"

"..."

"That's the truth, but there's no way to do it this way. If the industrial foundation is strong and advanced chips can be made, who wouldn't want to make better ones?"

Xu Fei clapped the paper in his hand to record the conversation, "Let's start with the basics first, and gradually increase the functions, like games. In the early stage, there are only reloading mechanics, but Ironhide also has the 'Command and Conquer' series, as well as West's work. Other games in the room."

"Director Xu, what do you mean, let the three of us change jobs?"

"It's not the three of you, it's your team."

The Daze Industrial Complex has always been short of people.

Now that so many projects are suddenly added, the talent gap is even bigger.

Xu Fei said, "Don't worry, Qixi is controlled by Hongqi. What kind of company is Hongqi?"

"Central enterprises."

"That's right, you people, as long as you work hard in the management post and make me feel at ease, in the future, not only will you have bonuses and subsidies from the Daze Industrial Complex, but you will also be transferred to the Hongqi Laboratory, and you will be able to have a solid job... When have I ever treated my own people badly?"

Accompanied by the voice, the three representatives of the header happened to see the hound driving the bus passing by on the road outside the window.

Director Xu really didn't say anything to his own people.

"Director, let's go to Qixi to report now."

"Well, when I got there, I said that the director of the factory is not very satisfied with their personnel arrangement and is going to make a big change. If you want to stay in Qixi, you must work harder from today, and the three of you are mine. eyeliner."

"clear."

"As for the joint box, take away as many people as there are. You might as well reveal my identity."

"Then it's unnecessary, we can fight this matter, and save someone from suing you."

"It's better to sue, I haven't been promoted or raised in half a year."

"..."

If you get promoted again, you will enter Beijing.

The three representatives of the joint box, no, a project leader and two business leaders of Qixi, recorded the contact information of the 'TEP labor dispatch company', got up and left.

Xu Fei looked at the time, and then at the rest area.

After discussing cooperation with the two companies, seven or eight small groups have gathered outside.

There were cigarettes, wine, sugar and tea on the table, but no one smoked or tasted tea. They all sat upright like elementary school students.

'It seems that my official authority is still very good. '

Xu Fei immediately came to the outside room and looked around at the people present, "It's already ten o'clock in the evening, if we continue talking one by one, we probably won't be able to finish talking tomorrow."

"In this way, for products such as electrical appliances, TEP Design Consulting Company will help manufacturers design a sample for free."

"Like a soymilk machine, from the internal motor, control panel, logic controller, to the external glass material and base material, set an intermediate parameter. Afterwards, whether the manufacturer intends to adjust it down or up, think it over after going back, and then place an order."

"In this way, the Daze Industrial Complex will carry out mass production based on this modular procurement method in the future. The shipping price is one-fifth lower than that of the outside world, and the PLC-related products are half lower than the imported ones."

"Other electrical products, I will not give examples."

"In short, low cost, low price, and high output. I hope that the first batch of partners can make things convenient for the people and benefit the East."

Electrical manufacturers have no opinion on this.

Imported from overseas, the price is expensive, and now it is found in the Daze Industrial Complex, which is almost equal to the first batch of people who eat crabs.

As long as the products continue the quality of Tinhide Company, coupled with the design concept, they will definitely make a profit without losing money.

Therefore, manufacturers related to electrical appliances stepped forward to say hello and resign, and by the way, asked for a business card of Director Xu.

After a while, the manufacturers left in the barber shop are basically the electronics industry.

Xu Fei looked at Zhou Digi, and felt that he didn't need IT business.

Then look at the state-owned enterprise-Great Wall.

"I wonder if your leaders want to build a large particle collider?"

"???"
