The direct flight from Perth to Beijing has not been opened yet. Zhang Ke stayed in Perth for two days. He left Perth with Weilan by a transit plane in Hong Kong. Through the porthole and the gap in the clouds, he can see the vast desert and blue sea in Western Australia.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable arc soft chair in the cabin, Zhang Ke saw Wei Lan's head staring out of the side window and asked, "have you really decided to come to Perth?"
"Well," Wei Lan nodded, "surrounded by desert and sea water, it feels isolated from the world. It's quite good."
"Oh..." Zhang Ke sighed slightly. So many things have happened to Wei Lan over the years. Her family is unable to give her the protection she wants. Her family is poor. In order for her two brothers to continue to go to school, Wei Lan had to drop out of school and work in her sophomore year. Zhai Danqing protected her from sinking in the filthy current. In her heart, Zhai Danqing is closer and more important than her family. Besides, there are still some rumors breeding in the dark. It is not difficult to understand that Wei Lan wants to leave China to come to Perth to accompany Zhai Danqing.
It was too heavy to think so. Zhang Ke changed the topic and asked with a bad smile, "I forgot to ask you something. What were you doing sleeping naked with Danqing the morning before yesterday?"
"You!" Wei Lan stared at Zhang Ke with beautiful eyes. Her pink face was crimson. She couldn't explain clearly what happened the morning before yesterday. She couldn't say that her pants were wet before she took off to sleep. She stretched out her hand to pinch Zhang Ke's waist. "How dare you talk nonsense again!"
Zhang Ke smiled bitterly, raised his hand and asked Wei Lan not to pinch him again.
Perth is also the coldest winter of the year. Flying over the blue ocean, Hong Kong is the hottest summer just after the Sino Taiwan wind season of the year. The long-term journey can often give people some strange feelings.
Zhang Ke and Wei Lan were ready when they got on the plane in Perth. They took off their coats and wore light, cool and thin summer clothes inside. Wei Lan is no longer dressed as an office girl, wearing jeans, T-shirts and sneakers, a pure student girl.
"Don't you stay in Hong Kong for two days?" Zhang Ke asked.
After getting off the plane, Weilan didn't go through the exit formalities, but planned to directly transfer to a domestic flight back to Jianye.
"The day after tomorrow, there will be a formal class..." even if she wants to transfer to Perth University as soon as possible, Wei Lan doesn't want to play truant like Zhang Ke. She doesn't look like a student at all.
Watching Tang Jing go through the formalities and meet her in the terminal, Wei Lan raised her hand and greeted her with a smile. Seeing Tang Jing's delicate and smiling appearance, she wondered if she would ignore Zhang Ke's flying back to Hong Kong from Perth. After looking at Zhang Ke, she thought of Zhai Danqing's words that "love is not pure water" and smiled and exchanged greetings with Tang Jing, Thinking about having a lover is much happier than leaving yourself. If the bastard hits himself with his idea, he doesn't have the strength to push him away.
Tang Jing arrived in Hong Kong a week ago and left the airport after sending Wei Lan to Jianye with Zhang Ke.
On the bus, Zhang Ke told Tang Jing that Weilan might emigrate to Western Australia.
Tang Jing holds Zhang Ke's arm. Luo Guiyuan's case has been a long time, but some rumors are difficult to calm. Wei Lan, who was hurt in her heart, wants to leave China. She gently leans her head on Zhang Ke's shoulder, but she never wants to immigrate.
Ye Jianbin and sun Shangyi are not in Hong Kong. Nearly half of the reclamation project of the ten million ton iron and steel industry base has been carried out. The merger negotiation between Donghai United Steel and Dongshan iron and steel has also been in the final stage. In addition to the shipbuilding base project, ye Jianbin and sun Shangyi are both in Xinting, and the high-rise buildings of Nanyang Haiyuan are mostly in Xinting.
Although Ye Jianbin and sun Shangyi are not in Hong Kong, Zhang Ke is not free to settle down in Hong Kong. As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Jiang Wei called in and said that Xiao Ruimin of Lianxin is also in Hong Kong. He hopes to meet him in private.
Zhang Ke doesn't know where Xiao Ruimin knew he would settle down in Hong Kong today. Since he asked to meet and there were no other arrangements at night, he invited Xiao Ruimin to the peninsula hotel for dinner.
Xiao Ruimin was only 46 years old, but his hair was a little frosty. He didn't deliberately dye his frosty hair black. He thought that some white hair would add some elegant temperament. He first met Zhang Ke at Wang Xuchen's home. That time, he also deliberately wanted to see what the people behind the creation of the Jinhu economic empire looked like. Even if he admitted that Jinhu had set off a great whirlwind in China at that time, he didn't think so. It's been almost three years. It's hard for Xiao Ruimin to describe all kinds of things that have happened during this period. He has to admit that some things, some born with talent, can do well.
When he got off the bus in front of the Peninsula Hotel, it was dusk and the sunset was all over the sky. Standing in front of the Peninsula Hotel, he could hear the sound of waves in the distance. He knew that Zhang Ke habitually liked to live in the peninsula hotel in Hong Kong. He couldn't understand why Jinhu had so much financial resources. Why not buy a house in Hong Kong is always much more comfortable than living in a hotel.
Watching Fu Jun come out from the lobby to pick him up, Xiao Ruimin smiled and shook hands with him.
Xiao Ruimin no longer expected Zhang Ke to come downstairs to meet him personally. Even if Ge Jiande and Jinhu had no gratitude and resentment, Zhang Ke could not come downstairs. He thought about his private meeting with Zhang Ke. If it reached Ge Jiande's ears, Ge Jiande would probably be furious again?
The French restaurant on the top floor of the peninsula hotel can overlook the sea at dusk through the floor glass. It is like a forest fire burning in the sunset glow, dyeing the blue sea beautiful. When you come in, Xiao Ruimin has to admit that it is definitely a luxury to sit here for dinner at this time.
"President Xiao is also in Hong Kong?" Zhang Ke looked at Fu Jun leading Xiao Ruimin in, stood up, shook hands with him and asked him to take a seat.
"I heard that Ke Shao went directly to Perth from Dallas and thought that Ke Shao might stay in Hong Kong after returning from Perth. During this time, he just had the opportunity to come to Hong Kong, so he stayed for a few more days." Xiao Ruimin didn't hide that his stay in Hong Kong was just waiting to meet Zhang Ke. It was always more convenient to meet in Hong Kong than in Beijing or Jianye.
Zhang Ke smiled and took the coffee pot from the waiter to help Xiao Ruimin pour coffee. Xiao Ruimin probably didn't want Ge Jiande to know about the private meeting.
Xiao Ruimin did not beat around the bush. He also knew that he was not qualified to beat around the Bush in front of Zhang Ke. In the top restaurant of Peninsula Hotel, he had a French meal with Zhang Ke and Tang Jing, and pointed out his intentions while eating.
"Jinhu has officially established a mobile phone chip R & D department under ess laboratory. Outsiders are guessing that Jinhu has made some key progress in baseband chip R & D. would it be too presumptuous to say this directly?" Xiao Ruimin asked.
"I think the outside world has more doubts about us," Zhang Ke said with a smile. "After all, baseband chip technology can not be developed by any organization. There are too many examples of failure in the front."
"In my personal judgment, I prefer to believe that Jinhu has mastered the commercializable baseband chip technology..."
"..." Zhang Ke slightly pursed his mouth and didn't say anything, waiting for Xiao Ruimin to say his intention directly.
"The Ministry of information industry has clearly agreed that China Unicom will establish a wholly-owned subsidiary to be responsible for the construction and operation of CDMA networks, and it is also clear that this year it will spin off the mobile communication business from the Telecom Group to establish a * * company..." Xiao Ruimin knows that these insider information is not insider information for Zhang Ke. Yi Yunfei has publicly stood in support of Jinhu within the Ministry of information industry, He said so, just thought it could better explain today's purpose, "Compared with last year, mobile communication charges have dropped significantly this year, which has led to a sharp increase in domestic mobile phone sales. However, among the 11 manufacturers that have obtained the new mobile phone license issued by the Ministry of information industry this year, except Kewang high tech, the other 10, including lianxun, Lianxin and Dongxing, can not obtain sufficient supply of mobile phone components - otherwise, I think the first half of the year China's domestic mobile phone market share will be higher. "
Zhang Ke listened to Xiao Ruimin quietly. There are many reasons why the supply of mobile phone components can't keep up, and he can't complain about the lack of production capacity of upstream manufacturers.
This year, the demand of the domestic mobile phone market has nearly doubled compared with that of last year. Foreign brands and Jinhu are engaged in fierce struggle in the medium and high-end market, leaving a lot of development space for domestic mobile phone manufacturers in the medium and low-end market. However, the preparation of domestic mobile phone manufacturers is somewhat inadequate, the purchase management is relatively chaotic in the early stage, the supply volume is far from meeting the requirements of design capacity, and there is money I can't make it.
Most of the components required by Kewang hi tech gem mobile phone are supplied by Jinhu, and a considerable part of the components are customized. Due to the sufficient and effective communication between each other, Jinhu can timely adjust the production of components in accordance with the needs of Kewang hi tech.
Other domestic mobile phone enterprises can not enjoy such high-standard treatment. These mobile phone enterprises have little demand for components and are not valued by upstream component manufacturers. Even though Jianye and Haizhou have formed a certain scale of supporting industrial clusters, the overall production capacity is still very limited, the construction of supporting factories is still lagging behind, and some core components still need to be exported overseas Electronic enterprises often have to wait two or three months for procurement because of the lack of a certain kind of spare parts, resulting in the whole production line being forced to stop - even Lianxin, lianxun and Dongxing often have such problems.
This phenomenon is somewhat similar to the DVD player market in 1995. At that time, the demand of the disc player market erupted like a volcano, and the supply of disc player movement was seriously in short supply. It was because Jinhu was able to obtain a supply contract of 100000 times the movement of Philips Shanghai factory every month that Jinhu won nearly 40% of the disc player market.
Zhang Ke looked at Xiao Ruimin quietly and said, "I also know this situation. I think this situation will gradually change, but don't expect to be completely improved all at once..."
"I think you also know the Countermeasures of some domestic mobile phone enterprises against this situation," Xiao Ruimin said. "Many enterprises increase the procurement of components, increase inventory and improve the stock of mobile phone products..."
"What about Lianxin's countermeasures?" Zhang Ke asked directly without taboo.
"Lianxin is a little confused now," Xiao Ruimin said. "I'm worried that increasing the inventory of components and parts and increasing the stock of finished products can cope with the current market dilemma - but there is a very fatal problem in front of us, and we can't turn a blind eye to it."
"What problem is fatal?" Zhang Ke asked.
Xiao Ruimin glanced at Zhang Ke. He didn't believe that Zhang Ke didn't know what the problem was. Since he asked, he explained in detail: "The ability of domestic mobile phone enterprises to develop new products is limited. Increasing the inventory of components and improving the stock of finished products is only to improve the inventory of components and finished products of one or two models of mobile phones. However, Jinhu and foreign mobile phone enterprises have such a strong ability to develop new products. Once Jinhu and foreign mobile phone enterprises compete fiercely, it will continue to launch new mobile phones to the market, so as to improve the quality of mobile phones This leads to the rapid depreciation of old models of mobile phones and their elimination from the market - the one or two old models of mobile phones relied on by domestic mobile phone enterprises will be seriously unsalable. At that time, a large number of components and finished products inventory will become a deadly thing... "
Zhang Ke kept a faint smile on his face, but sighed slightly in his heart. At this time, few people in China can sensitively see the subtleties of market changes. The cycle of domestic mobile phone enterprises developing new mobile phones takes almost a year or even longer. When Nokia, motorcycle and other foreign mobile phone manufacturers launch one or more new mobile phones every two or three months, Domestic mobile phone enterprises will really feel the destructive power of aircraft sea tactics.
Samsung's mobile phone business in China also suffered a heavy setback because Kewang high tech and Jinhu successively launched heavyweight gem mobile phones and double screen folding mobile phones in June and July. However, Samsung's technical strength and capital strength are there. A temporary setback can't hurt Samsung's muscles and bones at all. The key three stars also quickly realized what their problems are.
Xiao Ruimin can't see what Zhang Ke is thinking. Anyway, Jinhu and Huaxia electronics are both private and state-owned. Under the domestic market economic system, they can be said to be natural competitors. In addition, Huaxia electronics secretly encouraged the Ministry of information industry to directly target Jinhu at the beginning of the year. The relationship between the two sides is even worse. Jinhu fully supports Kewang high tech and temporarily does not supply spare parts to other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, which is also for this reason.
Xiao Ruimin did not expect Zhang Ke to be sincere to him, but only hoped that his sincerity could slightly impress him, and continued: "In fact, there are obvious signs of this trend. Kewang high tech launched gem mobile phones in June, Jinhu launched double screen folding mobile phones in July, and foreign mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola quickly launched new mobile phones in August. Samsung immediately added nearly 300 Researcher positions in its domestic product development and design Department... It seems that this sign is still in progress It is limited to the competition between Jinhu and overseas mobile phone manufacturers in the high-end market, but this trend will spread to the middle and low-end market. I think it will be very fast. "
"Well," said Zhang Ke, holding his hands on his chest and leaning comfortably against the back of his chair, "domestic mobile phone enterprises may indeed face such a dilemma. Specific problems need to be solved by various enterprises..."
"I want to confirm whether Jinhu has mastered the commercial technology of baseband chips?" Xiao Ruimin asked earnestly, holding the table in his hand.
Zhang Ke doesn't want to perfunctory Xiao Ruimin at this time, saying: "President Xiao came to me privately. I think the news has made some people unhappy. If Lianxin breaks away from the scope of the digital mobile phone technology promotion association and cooperates with us alone, I'm afraid it will make some people furious!"
"So, Jinhu has really mastered the commercial technology of baseband chips?" Xiao Ruimin's eyes glowed.
"The 0.35 micron thread baseband chip prototype was developed years ago, but the stability has not been satisfactory," Zhang Ke said. "Now it can be barely used in I08 mobile phones..."
I08 was one of the first two mobile phones launched by Jinhu in 1997. In 1997, it was only targeted at medium and low-grade mobile phones. Over the past two years, Jinhu has long eliminated I08 from production. However, Lianxin and other mobile phone manufacturers still sell mobile phones of the same specification.
"You also know that even if Lianxin is willing to use the baseband chip produced by Jinhu, it does not have enough technical force to solve other technical problems except baseband chip hardware..." Xiao Ruimin said.
Zhang Ke looked up at Xiao Ruimin and said, "we will not simply sell baseband chips. We will provide customers with a complete set of digital mobile phone technology solutions based on hardware architecture such as baseband chips, and the price is low..."
"I'm sorry to bother you today," Xiao Ruimin got the answer he wanted to know, stood up and said goodbye. "I'll take the night plane back to Beijing. I should have a definite message back to Jinhu in three days."
Zhang Ke smiled, shook hands with him and said, "I will wait for you in Jianye in three days."
After Xiao Ruimin left, Zhang Ke called Chen Xinsheng and told him that Xiao Ruimin intended to promote Lianxin's mobile phone to adopt ess baseband chip technology.
"It's very difficult for Xiao Ruimin to do this," Chen Xinsheng sighed gently on the phone, "but the road for them seems not wide - if Xiao Ruimin can't tolerate Huaxia electronics, can you invite him to Jinhu?"
"Isn't this a slap in the face of the Ministry of information industry and Huaxia Electronics?" Zhang Ke smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then. It's not impossible for Xiao Ruimin to push himself to a dead end at this time. At least Huaxia electronics has not been transferred from the Ministry of information industry. Xiao Ruimin also regards this as the last opportunity, otherwise he won't wait for me in Hong Kong."
"..." Chen Xinsheng pondered over the phone for a few seconds and said, "if it goes well, will Kewang Gaoke and Lianxin compete equally?"
"Well, that's for sure," Zhang Ke said. "Also, we should have our own products using ess baseband chip technology. We don't need it ourselves. How can we reassure others?"
