Chapter 64 Mobile Phone License Leasing
Homemade mobile phone?
Several people present were obviously a bit unresponsive to this jump in thinking.
Everyone is just a second-rate dealer, so why are they talking about self-produced mobile phones?
Not only is the investment small, but it is also quite free.
If you produce it yourself, there are too many things involved.
“Mobile phones are a good business, but producing them yourself would be too risky.
Even if you don't consider the risks, this is a huge investment that we can't handle.
As far as I know, if you want to produce mobile phones now, you must obtain a mobile phone license.
Without a license, it cannot be listed and circulated in the domestic market.
And if you want to get a mobile phone license, you don't have to think about it if you don't have a fortune of billions.
Even if you have billions in hand, you may not be able to seize opportunities from state-owned enterprises.
The last time mobile phone licenses were issued, only one mobile phone license was given to a private enterprise.
Even if we don't consider these, even if we rent mobile phone licenses from others, this is still a feasible way.
However, do the mobile phones you produce have the strength to compete with foreign brands in the market?" Liu Tong did not finish his words, just because the second half of the sentence might offend Su An.
In the last half of the sentence, Liu Tong wanted to say: "Now there are domestic mobile phone brands on the market, they have such huge financial resources and such large R&D teams.
But no matter what, we are not being suppressed by foreign brands.
As a channel dealer engaged in "shipping goods", what qualifications and strength do you have to enter this market?
With the three melons and two dates in your pocket, are you thinking too much?
Even if you want to make money, you must do it with a clear mind!
If you can't see others making money, then you think you can do it too.
There are too many businessmen like this in China, who only think about money and completely ignore the laws of science and technology."
Liu Tong could only rehearse such unpleasant words in his mind so that he would be clear enough and not be swallowed up by greed.
"Even with this capability, I heard that renting a mobile phone license from a manufacturer would cost more than 10 million U.S. dollars a year.
Can you afford such a large sum of money?
Even if it can be spent, from investing in building a factory to contacting supplier channels, it will still cost at least another 30 million US dollars.
Inside and outside, if converted into RMB, it would cost almost 400 million!" While someone was talking, he took out a newspaper from his pocket.
Originally, this newspaper was just something to read when going to the toilet.
After all, these days, if you don’t take a magazine or a newspaper with you when you go to the toilet, you really can’t squat down.
That is, when I was going to the toilet, I read an introduction in the newspaper about mobile phone licenses and what the minimum cost is for a manufacturer to produce mobile phones.
The newspaper was quickly placed in front of Su An.
Looking at the newspaper placed in front of her, Su An spent less than two minutes briefly reading the content.
In these two minutes, Su An saw several important data.
Even if you rent a license from a company that already has one, the $10 million quotation comes with additional conditions.
In addition to the rental fee, there is also profit sharing with the manufacturer.
This kind of lease does not involve signing a document.
Instead, the two manufacturers jointly set up a joint venture, but the manufacturer holding the license does not pay a penny, and the lessee bears all costs.
At this time, the license holder does not need to pay a penny. In addition to the basic rate of US$10 million per year, he can also receive 20% of the company's stock and dividends from the 20% of the company's stock.
However, the newspaper also mentioned another leasing method, which is different from the $10 million buyout method, which is a quote ranging from 60 yuan to 80 yuan per mobile phone.
The more you produce, the more expenses you have to pay.
The newspaper also said that by the end of December 2002, the Ministry of Information Industry is expected to issue a total of 49 licenses.
However, there are more than 100 mobile phone brands and more than 700 brands and models on the market.
With so many brands and models, it is obvious that more than half of the mobile phone brands have taken the road of leasing mobile phone licenses.
Even this leasing road is already quite mature and has a complete industrial chain.
According to statistics, the number of domestic mobile phone users reached 145 million in 2001.
It is expected that by the end of December 2002, it will reach the order of 210 million, and it is likely to reach 270 million by 2003.
Such a large market means that this business is a big cake that everyone wants to participate in.
In addition, as consumers have more and more money in their hands, with such a large population market, even if only half of the population owns mobile phones, this is a big cake that makes the whole world jealous.
The newspaper mentioned that the net profit of the domestic mobile phone market is as high as 15% to 35%. This is simply one of the most profitable industries.
The newspaper mentioned that TCL Communications, a domestic second-tier brand, sold 1.6 million mobile phones in 2001.
But in 2002, in the first half of the year alone, 2.2 million mobile phones were sold, and the profit reached an astonishing 450 million yuan!
And this is just the sales performance of a national second-tier brand.
Using this to infer foreign first-tier brands, you can imagine how much money they have made.
Seeing the content in the newspaper strengthened Su An's determination to make her own brand of mobile phones.
However, before making your own mobile phone, you still need to obtain the entire 90nm chip production line.
As long as we master 90 nanometers, we can achieve perfect technological parity with Intel.
When I make money, I will have enough strength to buy a 45nm production line.
Whether it is 90 nanometers or 45 nanometers, they are backward technologies for 2022.
After all, domestic 28nm has already achieved mass production in 2022.
This technology, which has been gradually phased out by the market, is not at risk of being technologically blocked.
As long as she has money, Su An can easily buy it in 2022.
After all, these are obsolete technological industries, not obsolete porcelain, let alone so-called antiques.
These things will only become cheaper and cheaper, and will not become more expensive like blue and white porcelain.
And buying the 90-nanometer industry chain from 2022 will not attract anyone's attention at all.
Just like buying a large number of obsolete monitors from 2022, even if they are sold to their own Taobao merchants, they are too lazy to care about what purpose these monitors are used for. Why do people suddenly buy them in such large quantities?
For this kind of product that has been eliminated by the market, if they can sell one unit, they can earn more profit from one unit.
They don't have the heart to care about what customers are going to do after buying it.
Not only did the store not care, they even had only one thought in their mind, that is, the more they bought, the better.
