323 [One step at a time]

After returning to school to take the exam, Song Weiyang immediately flew to Changhong headquarters in Mianzhou.

The secretary invited Song Weiyang to the lounge and smiled and said, "Boss Song, please wait, Mr. Ni is meeting the guests."

"It's okay, go and do it." Song Weiyang said while drinking tea.

It is not easy to meet Changhong CEO Ni Ruifeng. You have to make an appointment in advance first, and you have to drink tea and wait for it when the time comes. It is not that Ni Ruifeng is very handsome, but that he is busy with noble people and not only busy with business, but also busy with official social engagements.

At this time, Ni Ruifeng had reached the peak of his life.

In the bull market the previous year, Changhong was the leading stock in the national securities market. Last year, Ni Ruifeng was selected as *******, and his popularity even crushed Lenovo's Mr. Liu.

After the peak, it is going downhill.

The main reason is that the Asian financial crisis and the domestic market have turned cold, which has led to a large-scale inventory backlog of Chinese color TV companies. In order to sell TV sets, Changhong continued to fight a price war, and the low-price dumping has ushered in collective boycotts from industry peers. If you sell a color TV, you will lose one. You can only survive by continuously raising the stock price by continuously allocating shares.

Changhong has no money now, and as long as the stock price collapses, the capital chain will immediately break.

Changhong relied on his sword to take a different approach and became the overlord of the color TV industry, but this method is an evil way and should take advantage of the bull market in 1996 to change its development strategy. But Ni Ruifeng was obviously having fun and couldn't stop. It was difficult to transform until now, so he simply chose an evil way to go to the dark and drag the entire Changhong into the abyss together.

However, Changhong's myth has not been exposed at this time, and Ni Ruifeng's halo is still there. When the mid-year financial report is released in another half a year, he will be really sexy.

"Click!"

The sound of the door handle twisting came out, and Ni Ruifeng quickly walked into the room and smiled heartily: "Oh, Boss Song is such a rare guest!"

Song Wei raised his hands and shook hands and said, "Presponsible to visit, please ask Mr. Ni to have a happy life."

"All are enterprises in Xikang Province, and the whole family doesn't speak two words," Ni Ruifeng said, holding Song Weiyang's hand, "Boss Song, please sit down!"

The two of them talked a lot for a long time, and Song Weiyang finally explained his purpose: "Is Mr. Ni interested in introducing the latest SMT patch production line?"

Ni Ruifeng smiled and said, "What did I do when I buy that thing? I'll trade at a loss."

Song Weiyang said: "Mobile phones, computers, video recorders...a lot of products can be used, how can you lose money?"

"It really costs money," said Ni Ruifeng. "Some years ago, someone in Changhong proposed to do a video recorder project. I sent someone to inspect the market, but later it was shelved because of the color TV price war. When the video recorder market was booming, many domestic manufacturers introduced patch machines, and now they are probably piled up in the warehouse and rusted."

"Why?" Song Weiyang really didn't understand.

Ni Ruifeng said: "Whether it is a video recorder or a vcd machine board, SMT mounting technology is required. Domestic manufacturers only introduce patch production lines when they see promising. But it is useless. Downstream manufacturers directly go to Wanwan to get goods, and domestic boards are not competitive. The main reason is that they are small in scale, insufficient shipment volume, too high cost, and low yield rate."

Song Weiyang said: "Why is this?"

Ni Ruifeng said: "The domestic chip-type components are in short supply, and the quality and quantity cannot meet the demand, and the price is very high. Let's put it this way, to make a VCD board in China, you need to pick up goods from all over the world and then ship them to China for assembly. It is time-consuming and thankless. It is better to import them from Wanwan, and they have already made large-scale supporting facilities."

Well, Song Weiyang finally understood what the material problem Liu Qiang was talking about - domestic motherboard components have different varieties and low quality, so they are still expensive.

Moreover, according to the Wassenah Agreement signed by 33 Western countries, some electronic components are embargoed against China.

Song Weiyang made another indirect move and confirmed that Ni Ruifeng had no intention of joint venture in high-end SMT, so he chatted for a while and said goodbye to leave. Then he immediately called Academician Ni: "Old Ni, Mr. Ni, Changhong and Mr. Ni said that there is an SMT patching machine in China, which has been available several years ago."

"Is that so? I'll ask." Academician Ni said.

Academician Ni is not a god, so it is impossible for him to know all industries, but he is very fond of face, so he went straight to the Ministry of Electronics Industry (the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the Ministry of Machinery Industry will soon be merged into the Ministry of Information Industry).

After only half a day, Academician Ni contacted Song Weiyang again and said, "I'm wrong. There are indeed SMT production lines in China, and there are more than 400 production lines, but most of them are machines imported a few years ago, which are a bit outdated. About 70% of these hundreds of SMT production lines are in a downtime state and cannot get orders at all. Downstream manufacturers choose to buy foreign boards."

"Can these shutdown production lines be used as Xiaolingtong motherboards?" Song Weiyang asked.

Academician Ni smiled bitterly: "It's absurd to say that smt technology requires a series of machines. When introducing it, those manufacturers often lack one or the other in order to save money, which leads to a low yield rate. Some production lines and even the final testing equipment are not bought. The quality depends entirely on luck."

Song Weiyang asked again: "Where is the remaining 30% of the production lines that work normally?"

Academician Ni said: "That 30% of the production lines are in full-load operation, most of which are used in military industry, scientific research and equipment manufacturing, and are not connected to private businesses. There are also some production lines, just a few machines, specializing in producing their own boards, which are similar to small workshops. By the way, my country has independently developed some equipment, such as silk screen printers...well, manual ones."

Manual silk screen printing machine?

It’s better to keep polishing rockets or fighter boards. We can’t afford to mess with civilian manufacturers. The labor cost of that thing is much more expensive and the production efficiency is so low.

Academician Ni also said: "At present, the most advanced SMT production line in the Beijing TV Equipment Factory, mainly produces video recorders, vcds and high-end color TV boards, which may not be able to meet the process needs of mobile phone motherboards. Since Changhong is unwilling to cooperate, you can find the Beijing TV Equipment Factory again."

"Can you recommend it for me?" Song Weiyang asked.

"Forget it, I'll ask you directly." Academician Ni ran to call again.

Two or three hours later, Academician Ni called again: "The Beijing TV Equipment Factory does not plan to cooperate. Their SMT production line was introduced last year, and there is no other idea for the time being. You know, the current economic situation is not good, and state-owned enterprises dare not blindly invest in projects. I'm afraid, you have to build your own factory."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Then build it yourself, buy the machine for money, and it's easy to find workers. Now there are laid-off workers everywhere, and there are always a few skilled workers in mounting."

Academician Ni said: "I asked you by the way that the components of Xiaolingtong motherboard are not within the international embargo. But if it is produced domestically, including the freight and tariffs of electronic components, you can make a mobile phone motherboard yourself, which may be more expensive than importing directly from Wanwan, at most, the price will remain the same."

"It's enough to keep the price even," Song Weiyang laughed. "First build the factory and cultivate the R&D team and the worker team. In the future, more and more electronic component factories will be transferred to China for production by foreign investors, and our domestic manufacturers will also grow part of them. At that time, the component costs will drop. If the team is well trained and the supporting environment is mature, then we will make computer motherboards and other mobile phone motherboards, which will always get better slowly."

Academician Ni said with gratitude: "This idea is feasible. The high-tech industry cannot be achieved overnight. It will take ten or twenty years to develop. If you want to buy machines abroad, I can introduce a few people to you and help you check it technically. Of course, you have to prepare a labor fee."
