315 [Changhong in the mobile phone industry]
The secretary and district mayor of Yangpu District heard that Shenzhou Technology Company had sales of 135 million yuan in half a month and offered to pay taxes normally and only carried out symbolic tax reductions, they all thought there was something wrong with their ears.
Are there any capitalists who think they don’t pay enough taxes?
What a patriotic example!
The secretary and the district mayor immediately took people to Shenzhou Science and Technology for inspection in batches.
When they saw the dilapidated old factory and the low-sized company administrative building, they almost asked if they had gone wrong. Just a newly opened broken company can have sales of 135 million yuan in half a month?
Fortunately, after entering the production workshop, the conditions inside changed drastically, and the interior decoration cost a lot, clean, neat and orderly... somewhat of a high-tech appearance.
If you have money, you must expand the scale and build a house. The dilapidated factory building is really unsightly.
The secretary promised on the spot to approve 20 acres of land for Shenzhou Technology, with a land of 180,000 yuan per acre, which is equivalent to free gifts. The secretary even said: "Don't build your building too high, just have 20 floors. Don't learn from Giant Group to build the tallest building in Asia. If you have money, use it to expand production, develop markets, develop technology, build factories and introduce equipment. Strive to become bigger and stronger, be the largest in the whole sea, the largest in the country, and the largest in Asia!"
It’s not that the secretary’s comrade’s awareness is too high, but that the Giant Building and the Xiangshan Municipal Government have become laughing stocks.
Song Weiyang immediately said: "Some supporting enterprises can be introduced in Changyang Valley High-tech Park to form an industrial scale effect, and strive to build Changyang Valley into the largest mobile phone and accessories production base in the country. The production costs of enterprises are greatly reduced, and the district government can also increase tax revenue. This is a great thing for the country and the people."
"Well, Boss Song has a long-term vision. I will ask someone to follow up and ensure that the policy is green all the way." said the secretary.
The secretary left, the district mayor came again, and Song Weiyang asked for leave again to accompany him.
The crazy reports from the official media in Yangpu quickly attracted the leaders of the city, followed by the official media in Shenghai. In these news, Song Weiyang has transformed into a first-class patriotic entrepreneur, actively paying taxes according to the rules and not requiring policy reductions. How can this not be written in a special way?
In the next few years, whenever foreign guests asked, the leaders in the district would inevitably take the people to Changyang Valley for a walk. Each leader knew Shenzhou Technology well, pointing to the factory and the machine and said: What technology have we used, what volume of our shipments, what profits are, and what patents have we obtained.
In a word, how awesome the companies in our district are!
James MGregor worked in China for many years, and later explained the Chinese society in the 1990s in "Billion Consumers": "Troubleshooting corruption in China everywhere is the most irritating problem for all foreign businesses. Corruption can spread from the top management of the company to all employees and to officials of all levels of the government."
Many places attract investment and recruit enterprises, but scare them away, or simply take the money to kill them.
But Shenzhou Technology Company does not have such a problem. It is really a green light for policy along the way. Any small bureaucrat dared to come here to reach out, and then the big leader would buy it. It is because Shenzhou Technology's tax payment amount is too large, so large that local leaders must provide for it.
Of course, Song Weiyang also has the ability to provide information, fire protection, public security, electricity, women's federation, disability federation, taxation... all departments, if they need to provide information, follow the basic unspoken rules, and be harmonious.
...
Let’s talk about UT Starkang’s side, the bearded Wu Ying was furious, caught his subordinates and scolded him, and then scolded the board of directors in the United States.
Xiao Lingtong’s business should be his!
They are those bastards who are shit in their brains. They don’t like Xiao Lingtong and say that the phs technology is outdated.
Historically, Wu Ying fought hard and obtained 1 million yuan in funds. He could only carry out a pilot project of Xiaolingtong business in Yuhang District. After working hard for another whole year, the headquarters board of directors approved the expansion of the investment scale, and it was not until 1999 that Xiaolingtong was truly developed.
Now Song Weiyang has invested 30 million yuan as soon as he starts, and has also asked Citibank to borrow 15 million yuan. Xiaolingtong has reached another business scale at the end of 1998 at the beginning.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Wu Ying was also killed by the donkey.
Historically, Wu Ying relied on Xiaolingtong's business to become one of the top ten telecommunications companies in the world. However, because he wanted to increase his equity (he took shares for free as a CEO in China), he was kicked out of UT Stark by his headquarters. This fierce man who is as famous as a two-horse horse was in disgrace.
Now not only Wu Ying is angry, but also domestic and foreign manufacturers such as Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, Huawei, ZTE, etc. are regretful.
The telecommunications department has asked them to cooperate, but unfortunately they look down on them and spit out all the fat meat they sent to their mouths.
Who knew that Xiaolingtong's business could develop so rapidly.
In less than two months, Xiaolingtong's shipments have reached 100,000 units!
After New Year's Day, Xiao Lingtong will hold New Year's discount activities for a week. If you buy a mobile phone for 588, you will get a 588 phone fee. If you buy two at one time, you will get a 888 phone fee.
This event has driven consumers crazy, and many people call on friends to buy mobile phones.
In addition, the business in five cities was opened. In just seven days, Xiaolingtong's national sales soared by more than 40,000 units, and its weekly sales exceeded 200 million during the event!
One week, 200 million!
The three major foreign mobile phone brands all slander Xiao Lingtong, and there are negative news about Xiao Lingtong everywhere, which will kill them with the shortcomings of bad signals.
At the same time, someone wrote to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to complain wildly, and even rose to the point where he endangered the development of China's communications industry.
The complaint letter is actually well-founded, saying that phs is a backward technology and will definitely be eliminated. If Xiaolingtong relies on cheap fees to occupy the market, there will be terrible consequences of bad money driving out good money, resulting in slow development of China's communication technology and the gap with the world is getting bigger and bigger.
The complaint letter soon achieved results. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications clearly stipulated that Xiaolingtong shall not open business in the four cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which are the four largest markets of mobile communications services.
If it weren't for the support of the telecommunications department, Xiao Lingtong would have been directly cut off by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
The real crisis of Xiaolingtong will take ten years until the 3g era arrives, and the government decided to allocate Xiaolingtong's frequency band to 3g for use.
Although Shenzhou Technology has not made any public financial report and people do not know the specific sales data, the long queue for purchasing machines at the Telecommunications Bureau has explained everything.
Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola phones have been reduced in price across the board, and Nokia has dropped the most, with the old model directly lowering it to 5,500 yuan. Until the summer of 1998, the new Nokia 5110 (the world's first mobile phone that can play greedy snakes) was officially launched, and the old model was reduced to 4,800 yuan per unit.
Nokia thus surpassed Motorola, establishing its dominant position in the Chinese mobile phone market.
Xiaolingtong also followed up in time, with a price of 4,888 yuan and a phone bill of 888 yuan.
Consumers cheered and said that China's mobile phone market has officially entered the era of 4,000 yuan, and they wished that the price wars of mobile phone manufacturers would be more fierce.
Chapter completed!
