Chapter 1432 Economic Colonization
The revenue from the paging base station is almost 1.5 billion, which means that the remaining 1.7 billion in Qingtian Communications' revenue comes from overseas.
Last year, following Xiaobawang's path to the sea, Qingtian Communications' 2.5G mobile communication base stations, mobile phones, and pagers were sold to Southeast Asia, and it also undertook the construction of part of the mobile communication networks in Malaysia, Thailand, and East Timor.
Although compared to the size of Qingtian Communications at this time, 1.7 billion is really nothing, accounting for just over 4% of the total revenue, not even 5%, but it has to be said that it is a
A great start.
Even in the words of Huang Yihe, former Vice President of Xiaobawang, Head of Overseas, and current President of the Automobile Alliance, there is simply gold everywhere abroad.
Although compared with domestic and overseas markets, various costs, labor wages, freight, sales expenses, etc. are much higher, the profit margin is basically above 60%, which is almost like robbing money.
There is no way, who made industrialization an extremely luxury thing for more than 200 countries and regions around the world. Not even 10% of the countries in the world have truly completed industrialization.
This means that for countries in Southeast Asia with extremely underdeveloped industries, they can only passively accept high-price dumping from industrial countries.
After all, who can't make them?
If you don’t hold your nose and admit it, what else can you do?
This is actually considered a very obscure form of economic colonization.
Foreign companies use advanced technology and complete industrial systems to sell a large number of their products to developing countries. Developing countries can only be forced to sell their precious resources and manpower to developed countries.
As for developing countries that want to develop industry, get rid of the financial hegemony of the United States, and establish their own industrial systems, they often usher in subversion and collapse.
However, the upcoming Asian economic crisis in 1997 is a good example.
Western countries, led by the United States, took advantage of their financial hegemony and the fact that the U.S. dollar was the global currency and overissued a large amount of currency. After receiving the overissued currency, Western companies purchased a large number of assets in developing countries.
The assets of developing countries will naturally appreciate in value, bursting out with strong economic vitality and looking prosperous. However, once the time is right, the United States and other Western countries will raise interest rates to attract these funds back to the United States and other Western countries.
The assets and stocks of these developing countries were sold off in large quantities, their economies plummeted rapidly, their industrialization process was interrupted, and even led to an economic crisis.
After a year or two, the United States and other Western countries lowered interest rates again, releasing a large amount of funds to buy the assets of these developing countries.
Repeating this cycle over and over again, developing countries are like harvested leeks to these developed countries. After one crop is harvested, there will be another crop.
This is also the reason why the United States over-issues currency, but there is not a lot of domestic inflation. They have put the currency abroad, and the domestic currency liquidity has not increased. How could it cause inflation in developed countries such as the United States?
This is one of the reasons why, since the end of World War II, developed countries have allowed their colonies to become independent one after another.
They can use finance as a better means to plunder the resources and manpower of these colonies, so why do they have to use guns and bloodshed to death?
Do you really think there is no cost to maintaining your rule?
As for a country that is not willing to follow the script arranged by the United States, it can just subvert it.
With these methods in place, the United States and other developed countries are simply invincible, which means they have encountered an iron plate in China.
Especially during the economic crisis in 2008, China's economy was not cut into leeks, and instead of collapsing, it became even more prosperous. In 2010, it even surpassed the Eastern Japanese in a big way.
However, if China does not collapse, it will be the United States' turn to collapse.
After all, the damage caused by the economic crisis will definitely exist. If China cannot bear it, then the United States will naturally bear it.
As for when it is Qingtian's turn to sell his products to Southeast Asia with more developed and advanced products, Fang Chen can only say that being an industrial country is really cool.
Not only is the business easy to do, but the profits are also astonishingly high.
The company that contributes the most to the company’s revenue is, not surprisingly, still the overlord this year.
This year, Xiaobawang has achieved a total revenue of nearly 57 billion, an increase of 21 billion compared with last year, and a year-on-year increase of nearly 60%.
Although the growth rate is still slower than that of Qingtian Communications, after all, Xiaobawang is too big, so the total revenue is still nearly 15 billion more than that of Qingtian Communications.
The biggest contributor among them is naturally the video player.
This year, video disc players have completely entered a mature stage, especially the launch of low-priced video disc players, which has once again aroused a large number of people's desire to buy, and even formed a certain frenzied rush.
Last year, nearly 8 million video disc players were sold, bringing a revenue of nearly 30 billion to Xiaobawang. The number one video player in the country, and even in the world, is really unsafe.
Stable again.
But it is true to say that Sony, Philips, Samsung and others have launched massive attacks, but they have not been able to shake Qingtian. Instead, Qingtian beat them to the ground and fled in panic. Who else on the market can compare with Qingtian DVD players?
Last year, the national sales of video disc players were almost 11 million units. This means that Qingtian DVD players accounted for 75% of the national sales. Basically, excluding the two products of Xiaobawang game console and learning machine, the market share
The product with the highest rate.
However, it should be noted that Hu Zhibiao went to Hong Kong and founded Aido Video Player, which sold more than 600,000 units. He was the third domestic video player company besides Qingtian and Wanyan to sell more than 500,000 units.
.
And if nothing else, in 1996, Aido Video Player was going to knock Wan Yan out of the second place.
This is a bit scary. After all, Aido Video Player has only been established for one year. To have such a large sales volume within one year is enough to prove Hu Zhibiao's ability.
Naturally, CDs are still selling well. This year, Qingtian has sold nearly 500 million CDs. Not only has it contributed 5 billion in revenue to Little Overlord, Uncle Shao and other Xiangjiang Entertainment film and television companies
, it was so happy that everyone’s mouths were crooked.
After all, making a hit movie may not necessarily guarantee that they earn more than 10 million. The profit share of 500 million is basically the same as the net profit brought to them by the Hong Kong Film Market.
It has even greatly affected the balance between movies and TV series.
In the past, movies were king in Xiangjiang. Not only the film companies, but also the producers, directors, and even actors all wanted to make movies for the big screen.
After all, movie tickets are more expensive and more profits can be made. As for other things, industrial aesthetics, etc. are secondary.
Just like a director looking for a protagonist, acting skills are important, but if the traffic is high, there will be no acting skills without acting skills. After all, it all depends on the results. The market for niche films and literary films lies in major film festivals, not
In the market, there is no way to make money at all.
But now, the film and television companies in Hong Kong prefer to make TV series.
There is no other way, not to mention that the cost of movies is much higher than that of TV series, and if you burn it to a disc, you can only burn one disc.
As for TV dramas, not only are their costs much lower, but they also have so many episodes that they can easily fit into twenty or thirty discs.
Just from selling it to mainland China, the profit from a TV series is more than 30 to 50 times more than that from a movie.
With such a huge profit temptation in front of us, it seems not surprising which film and television company in Hong Kong will choose.
And along with it, the domestic film and television circle's enthusiasm for creating TV series and movies has also increased.
After all, they are now saying that in addition to TV stations and theaters, there is a new choice.
But it is a pity that the development of domestic film and television is still a bit late, so even if there are high-quality ones, generally both quality and quantity are worse than those of Xiangjiang Film and Television.
But it doesn’t matter, Fang Chen believes that as long as we can enter a positive cycle and let consumers vote with their feet and choose the works that they really like, there will definitely be a group of very good film and television companies, directors, and actors who will stand out.
In fact, what makes Fang Chen even more happy is that by doing so, he proves that Chinese people are still very willing to support genuine products as long as the price is right.
But to put it bluntly, a CD only costs ten yuan. It is not impossible for some film and television enthusiasts to spend twenty yuan to buy two of their favorite CDs when their salary is paid.
After all, these days, it costs two yuan to buy a movie ticket, and they are all things that were tired of seeing them ten or twenty years ago. If it is not a young couple falling in love, who would be willing to join in the fun.
If you buy a CD and put it at home, you can watch it whenever you want. If you want to watch other movies, you can just switch to someone else.
But there is one thing. You must have new ones. It doesn’t matter if you have fewer ones. Otherwise, they will be unwilling to replace them if they are already seen by others.
The sales volume of Xiaobawang Repeater has exceeded 10 million units, making it Qingtian’s first product with annual sales volume exceeding 10 million units.
This point once again proves the truth of the saying that no matter how hard China is, it cannot suffer its children, and no matter how poor it is, it cannot afford poor education.
However, because the price of the repeater is not high, it only contributed less than 1.2 billion to Xiaobawang's revenue, and nearly 2 million of them, with a revenue of 4 billion, were contributed by overseas markets.
of.
Well, that’s right, the price of Xiaobawang repeater abroad is twice that in China.
But it's nothing, it's almost done and everyone is sitting down.
If you don't kill them when you go overseas, you would be really sorry for Fang Chen's investment in Little Overlord over the years.
As for Xiaobawang’s revenue, the remaining nearly 12 billion is contributed by Xiaobawang learning machines and game consoles.
Because there are no particularly shocking masterpieces this year, especially because the domestic memory market has basically been exhausted, that is, consumers who are of the right age, can afford it, and still have the desire to buy, already have Xiaobawang game consoles at home.
and learning machines, so just in terms of domestic sales, the sales of Xiaobawang learning machines and game consoles are declining.
That is to say, overseas markets still have a growth rate of more than 50%. The sales of Xiaobawang game consoles and learning machines are better, with a growth rate of about 15%.
Although it is a bit helpless, the reality is like this. After six years, the Xiaobawang game machine and learning machine have completed their historical mission, gradually moving from the peak to the trough, and then there will never be a chance to rebound.
This is not to say that home game consoles like Overlord have been completely sentenced to death. It will always exist until the moment Qingtian collapses.
Even in order to survive, it will actively expand overseas markets and bring more and better games and gaming experiences to everyone.
It’s just that, like now in China, there are 340 million households in the country, and more than one tenth of the households have a Xiaobawang learning machine. It is difficult for this grand situation of game consoles to happen again.
After all, those born in the 1980s and 1990s will grow up, and when they grow up, they will encounter an era of online games that is even more addictive and has a wider and wider coverage.
Then after ten or twenty years of ups and downs on the Internet, I got tired of the various routines of online games, and then it was possible to return to home game consoles.
But if you want to sell 8 million units in China a year, it will take about ten years or even longer.
After all, Sony's PS4, the year it was first released, sold more than 10 million units worldwide, and the rest were only a few million units, and its contribution to the Eastern and Japanese markets was not even 10%, with most of them coming from Europe and the United States.
side contribution.
It would be really difficult for the Qingtian game console to sell eight million units again in the Chinese market.
It is estimated that the day this can be achieved, China's per capita income will already exceed that of the Eastern Japan.
But that day is not too far away, at least Fang Chen realizes that before that day comes, he should not have retired yet.
No matter how much it is, these companies are still making money, but Qingtian Investment Company and Qingtian Chip Company are a bit embarrassed.
Let’s not talk about Qingtian Chip. It was just a waste of money. It has cost him almost 16 billion Huaxia coins so far. As for when he will be able to recover his capital, he doesn’t know. It is estimated that in the last five or eight years,
There is no more drama.
As for Qingtian Investment Company, because the companies it invests in are basically not listed on the market, even if it makes money, it only makes money based on valuation, so it is really difficult to calculate.
However, although Qingtian Investment Company is all about throwing money away, last year it spent almost 4.5 billion Chinese coins, nearly 500 million U.S. dollars on investments, and invested in almost 100 start-up Internet and computer companies.
