Chapter 403

Wu Xinyi hopes that Dongxin Semiconductor can have its own semiconductor production company. People from Huajing all carry regrets.

Huajing entered the industry two years earlier than Shougang NEC Semiconductor, but until now, it is still in the process of pulling skin, wasting a great opportunity in vain.

Now major manufacturers all have their own chip factories, which is actually to avoid being controlled by others. A group of companies like Intel, Motorola, Texas Instruments, Hitachi, Philips, Siemens, and Fujitsu all have their own chip manufacturers and don't need foundry.

Companies like Dongxin Semiconductor that find chip manufacturers for foundry are "aliens" instead. After all, TSMC has only appeared for a few years and is pulling orders everywhere.

If Dongxin Semiconductor can have its own semiconductor production company, it is not only to avoid being controlled by chip foundry factories like Shougang NEC now, but also to be able to use it itself when the lithography machine is researched in the future. Even if it sells to itself, it can be better than not being able to sell a single one!

Before, why were there no teams researching lithography machines in the country? It was because even if you researched a lithography machine, there were no buyers. You spent countless efforts, time, and resources, and in the end, you got nothing.

After Dongxin Semiconductor, companies like Dongfang Era and Shenzhou Storage also successively reported this year's performance.

Basically, it is not much different from Dongxin Semiconductor's current situation. The earnings are not considered much. Compared with the parent company Dongling Gao Ke, it is basically not considered earning at all, but even Shenzhou Storage, which loses the most, only lost a few million yuan this year.

Li Dongling prepared iron rice bowls for Dongxin Semiconductor, Dongfang Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Storage. Like Dongxin Semiconductor, it has mobile phone chip and landline chip businesses to make money. Dongfang Optoelectronics has Little Smart screen orders, and Shenzhou Storage has USB flash drive business.

This ensures that even if these three companies are researching money-swallowing beast-like technologies like lithography machines, liquid crystal panels, and solid-state drives, they can earn a portion of funds themselves, not losing a cent and relying entirely on Dongling Gao Ke to raise them.

If they never make money, even companies like IBM, Philips, Toshiba, and Nikon can't hold on.

Now companies like IBM also have their own lithography machine businesses, but they don't attach much importance to them because they don't make money. Philips has wanted to sell ASML's equity several times because it smashed money in but couldn't get the capital back!

For Dongling Gao Ke, as long as these few companies like Dongxin Semiconductor, Dongfang Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Storage don't lose too outrageously, it is equivalent to earning.

With these three companies, Dongling Gao Ke can basically be like Samsung in the future, able to achieve independent R&D of core components. Chips, panels, and storage are all in its own hands, without being controlled by others. As for sanctions and component bans, for Dongling Gao Ke, it is just barking.

After the parent company Dongling Gao Ke and the three companies of Dongxin Semiconductor finished reporting their performance, the group of people in the conference room all cast their gazes at Yao Luoying, who was wearing a female suit, and many people had expectations in their eyes.

Back then, when Feiyan Technology was established, Li Dongling had drawn a big cake for the group of people in the conference room today.

All the executive-level high-level personnel of the entire Dongling Gao Ke were hung by this big cake. If this big cake was still far away before, then this year, with the listing of the Silicon Valley internet company Netscape, the internet wave began to appear, and this big cake had the opportunity to be realized!

This big cake is Feiyan Technology listing on NASDAQ!

What are salaries and bonuses? Look at how many millionaires and multi-millionaires appeared instantly after Netscape listed. Compared with salaries, it is more than a hundred times more.

Yao Luoying could also feel that the gazes of the group of people were all cast on her. Yao Luoying couldn't help but look in the direction of someone. Li Dongling smiled and nodded lightly at Yao Luoying.

Seeing Li Dongling, Yao Luoying breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. "Feiyan A10 mini radio sales volume exceeded 11.2 million units this year, becoming one of the most popular radio models in domestic history."

"Currently, besides being sold domestically, A10 has also been exported to 23 regions around the world, including Hong Kong, Siam, Malaysia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Old Europe, and America."

The Feiyan A10, priced at less than 100 yuan, has a trend of becoming a legendary machine. The foreign trade version is also only about 10 US dollars.

In today's world where radio has not completely exited the stage, Feiyan A10 created a miracle. Selling nearly 10 million units in a single year is not only domestically, but also selling wildly overseas.

"If it weren't for the influence of other competitors, counterfeit machines, and production capacity, Feiyan A10's sales volume might have increased by a portion. The marketing department is promoting it overseas. Market analysis shows that in the next five years, or even longer, the sales volume of this model will be quite good, and the future global sales volume may exceed 50 million units... or even more!"

Yao Luoying was a bit conservative and didn't dare to estimate too much, but in fact, the sales volume of the two radio models KK9 and R909 in the past life both exceeded 100 million!

"The sales volume of Feiyan Dolphin radio this year was 4.5 million units, with main users coming from America, Canada, Germany, France, the UK, and other places."

"Currently, although multiple brands of multi-functional emergency radios have appeared, Dolphin has been recognized by the industry. Future sales volume might decrease, but it is expected that there will be 2 to 3 million units in sales every year!"

Multi-functional emergency radios are ultimately a niche track. Many families buy them for backup and don't necessarily think of them even if they are covered in dust in the corner. It is impossible to buy one every year, and the unit price of 150 US dollars makes its sales volume impossible to be high.

But more than half of the revenue of the entire Feiyan Technology is contributed by Dolphin radio!

"Last year, the entire Feiyan Technology's revenue was 796 million US dollars, with a net profit of 130 million US dollars, of which 84% of the income was contributed by Dolphin radio, and Dolphin radio also contributed more than 90% of Feiyan's net profit!"

It sounds absurd, but this is the difference between selling high-end products and mass products. Feiyan A10 sold wildly, selling 10 million units in a year, but the profit was less than 5%, and the price was less than 100 yuan. Even if it sold 10 million units, the profit was less than 40 or 50 million yuan.

And Dolphin radio took the high-end route. Although it only sold a few million units, the profit was about 19%, which instead crushed A10 in terms of profit.

This is like Apple phones in the past life. It looks like other mobile phone brands sell tens of millions of units a year, but more than 90% of the profit of the entire smartphone industry is taken away by Apple.

However, when Feiyan A10 was launched, it was used to increase popularity, so there was no anger.

With sales volume and production lines that can start, A10 provides employment positions for Feiyan Technology. A mini radio with an annual shipment volume of 10 million units is enough to provide a large batch of employment positions. With employment positions, it can go for policy and fund support and increase influence.

"Currently, Feiyan Technology is fully transforming. Although mini radios and car audio equipment are still Feiyan Technology's main business, next year..."

Yao Luoying said the words she had discussed with Li Dongling long before coming here today. "Feiyan Technology will announce to the outside world that Feiyan Technology has transformed into an internet company, and Himalaya FM radio will become Feiyan Technology's label and business card!"

Feiyan Technology is going to play the game of hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat. Whether it is an internet company or not, anyway, Feiyan Technology promotes it as such, and that is enough.

As for whether others believe it or not, Feiyan Technology can't control it. Anyway, if it believes it itself, then Feiyan Technology will have the popularity of an internet company, coupled with the revenue brought by mini radios and car audio equipment, won't it become the most beautiful boy in the internet industry?

As for whether it will let people see the flaws, that is purely thinking too much. There are already plenty of investment banks and analysts in Wall Street who know nothing about the internet. If you pull anyone on the street in America and ask him what the internet is, I guarantee he will show a confused and helpless expression in his eyes.

"How is the development of Himalaya FM radio now?" Li Dongling asked.

"Currently, Himalaya FM radio is developing Chinese and English versions, and it is expected that it will be completed early next year."

"Domestically, it has already acquired a portion of copyrights for music, storytelling, opera, etc., and it will be online early next year."

"But the English version might still need some time, mainly because the copyright there is too expensive. Whether it is music or poetry, not to mention buying copyrights, just the authorization fee requires a large sum every year. Himalaya FM radio cannot afford such high authorization fees for the time being!"

Feiyan is preparing to list on NASDAQ, so Himalaya FM radio needs to appear in front of Americans. That is standing in the world's largest internet market, so that more investors can see Himalaya FM radio, and it will be easier to list.

The biggest difficulty for Himalaya radio in America is that it has no content. How can an empty website attract users? Even if you play tricks, there is no place to start.

"Then add some self-made content to the English version of Himalaya FM radio!"

Li Dongling thought for a while and said. The copyright in America is really too expensive. Several major record companies and publishing companies decide what music Americans listen to, and the content of newspapers and books is also decided by them.

Of course, you can also not care about those copyrights. The internet is in a blank period in the legal industry worldwide, that is, there are no legal provisions to constrain the internet.

But, small troubles are okay. If you want to dig the corners of several major record companies in America on a large scale, if you force them, those giant companies will really bite. The first company established by the founder of Uber is the consequence, being tossed around by several major record and publishing companies until it was heavily in debt and almost became a homeless person.

Li Dongling feels that it is better to play the set of American radio in the past life. Invite American celebrities, politicians, singers, and sports stars to open their own podcasts on Himalaya radio, and then talk nonsense on it...

It doesn't matter whether the earth is flat or not, but as long as it is blown out and someone believes it, then Himalaya radio will have influence.
