Apple's withdrawal from the Chinese market caused a series of chain reactions. The United States also retaliated and launched investigations into some Chinese-funded companies.
More importantly, those foreign companies that have mastered the technology have joined forces and begun to increase the prices of some spare parts.
Especially things that Huaxia cannot produce, such as mobile phone chips, memory and other accessories, have increased even more dramatically. The consequence of such price increases is that the cost of Huaxia's electronic products will increase and profits will decrease.
In recent years, Huaxia mobile phone brands have emerged. Among the top ten mobile phone brands in the world, Huaxia occupies six places. Especially in the mid-to-low-end market, Huaxia mobile phone brands have a very high market share.
In the face of price increases, even China Group is a little helpless. Because they don't have the technology for many things. Without technology, no matter how great your sales are, you can only be at the mercy of others.
Apple has withdrawn from China, and Samsung's market share in China has dropped from a peak of 22% to less than 2% now. It can be said that the entire Chinese market is dominated by independent brand mobile phones.
Now, those manufacturers have every reason to exploit their profits. Especially at this time, when there are people behind them.
"Damn, it really hurts..."
"This is the weakness of not mastering core technology..."
"In this huge country of China, apart from China, there is no company that can manufacture mobile phone chips..."
"China's mobile phone chips are not enough for our own use. We simply cannot sell them to other companies..."
"It's really sad. I worked so hard to sell mobile phones and ended up working for others..."
Chinese netizens began to discuss that the rapid rise of domestic mobile phones in recent years had once made them very proud. However, the current blow has made them very heartbroken.
Without mastering the core technology, it is said to be an independent brand, but in fact it is an assembly machine. Except for the independent name, all parts are purchased from foreign companies.
Now that prices are rising, you can only let others take advantage of you. Although China is the pride of China, in fact, the core technology mastered by China is still relatively small. Compared with those foreign giants, the technology mastered by China Group is still relatively weak.

A meeting was being held in the Scientific Research Department of Longteng Group. Zhang Fan was sitting in the conference room and looking at the people below.
"Chairman, I think we should invest heavily in research and development of chip technology. Not only mobile phone chips, but our Longteng Smart Home products will need smart chips to control them in the future. If we can produce our own chips, we will have a say in the future
Just be more proactive.”
A senior official said seriously. Now Longteng Group has invested a lot of money in research and development. However, it has not invested much in the core smart chip technology.
Chip manufacturing is a very complicated process. Don't underestimate small chips. The smaller the thing, the more sophisticated the integrated technology is. There are too many technologies involved.
Therefore, to develop chip technology, the investment is huge, even a bottomless pit. Longteng Group has no R&D team at all, nor any accumulation of technology and patents.
"Chairman, the investment in researching chips is too huge. I think it is better to invest this money in the research and development of artificial intelligence. After all, our Longteng Group does not have sufficient funds now."
Another senior executive objected, saying that chip research requires too much money.
Different opinions made sense. Zhang Fan sat there, thinking seriously. At the same time, he subconsciously sneaked into the lottery to look at some technologies.
There are many technologies in the lottery, but they are expensive. Not only that, even if these technologies are redeemed, it is not easy to produce products.
Chip manufacturing is a high-end manufacturing that involves many aspects. If your high-end manufacturing technology cannot reach a certain stage, you will not be able to produce it even if you have the technology.
For example, China Group has chip technology, but the manufacturer is not China Group itself. Instead, it entrusts a specialized chip manufacturer to manufacture chips.
Looking at these attractive technologies, Zhang Fan took a deep breath. The technologies were very attractive, but the prices were also very expensive. With his little reputation, he simply couldn't exchange them for anything too attractive.
"Okay, listen to me. First set up a chip R&D team and accumulate technology first. First develop relatively simple chips. For example, the chips used in our smart home products. Step by step, accumulate some technology first, and then add it to the market at the right time.
High-end chip technology advances..."
Zhang Fan said seriously, and the people below stopped talking after hearing what Zhang Fan said. Zhang Fan sticks to his word in the company, and no one can change what he decides.
The chips used in smart home products are not too high-end. After all, these chips do not have to process much, they are just simple data. It is not difficult to produce these chips by ourselves.
The really difficult chips are mobile phone chips and computer chips. These chips need to process a lot of data.
But it is obvious that the Longteng Group does not yet have such technical accumulation. Zhang Fan's reputation does not allow him to be willful in this matter. The road must be walked step by step, and nothing can be done in one bite and become a fat man.
Now for Longteng Group, Longteng Smart Home Plan and Longteng Home Plan are the key.
The hustle and bustle outside has nothing to do with Longteng Group, and has minimal impact on Longteng Group. A windfall has also made Longteng Group extremely comfortable. It is too easy to make money by replacing the system of Apple mobile phones.
This windfall made the Longteng Group's liquidity abundant again. The Longteng Home Plan also accelerated the pace of implementation.
"Chairman, this is the progress of our Longteng Home. Chairman, through our visits and investigations, I think we should slightly modify the policy."
Wang Ning, chairman of Longteng Group and Longteng Real Estate, walked into Zhang Fan's office.
"Oh, tell me."
Zhang Fan said in a low voice.
"Based on our interviews and surveys, many young people still want to own a house of their own. So I think our policy can be slightly modified. We can give a rule, for example, if you have lived here for more than ten years, you can own a house.
You are eligible to buy this house at any time. The initial rent can be directly used to offset the price..."
Wang Ning expressed his opinion. This opinion was not said casually, but was summarized based on the investigation. In the hearts of the Chinese people, they always think that having a house is a problem.
The previous policy was to only rent but not sell, which will inevitably make many people conflicted. If you can qualify to buy a house after renting here for enough time, and the early rent can be used to offset the house payment, then the temptation of this house will be greater
.
"In this case, let's try it according to the new policy. First select a few cities as pilots and see what the effect is..."
