Chapter 10 Electronics
In October 1979, Dahai Publishing House was officially renamed, and Lin Qi's shareholding ratio increased to 51%. At the same time, the name of the publishing house was also changed.
Some of the distribution channels of "Fighting Break the Sky" were found to have been renamed, but in fact it was after the previous publishing house, so the subsequent cooperation was not affected at all.
Readers don’t care about the name of the publisher, they only care about the serialized "Fighting Break the Sky".
After Dahai Publishing House was renamed Xinzengwen Publishing House, the "Fighting Break the Sky" series was also published to episode 9, with a cumulative circulation of more than 70,000 copies. The average number of novels per volume has reached 8,000.
And every new episode will drive the sales growth of the entire series that has been published!
Zhang Dahai understood more thoroughly that the brand of Dahai Publishing House is not valuable at all. The only valuable ones are the best-selling book "Fighting Break the Sky" or the person Lin Qi.
Compared with the authors of the same era, Lin Qi is almost a monster in the publishing industry. The novel that is published one episode a week is almost equivalent to a weekly magazine. It can not only ensure the quality and make readers full of expectations. At the same time, the number of words also makes readers excited.
The author of this kind of hard-working author has novel and beautiful content, and it is almost unreasonable to not be popular!
However, Lin Qi is in a state of being popular among books. He is different from famous martial arts masters such as Jin Yong and Gu Long. Those famous writers soon published books and quickly had a lot of media reports and industry book reviews.
However, although Lin Qi's novels are expanding in number, few media reports and pay attention to this best-selling book.
Lin Qi has no objection to being an author who is not popular in the Red Book.
Zhang Dahai was a little angry and wanted to spend money on Lin Qi to promote and promote the media. However, Lin Qi rejected this suggestion and said that he would not waste money.
He had a little shame, and he used the author's books to make fame and money after decades. He had to be proud of it and boast about it shamelessly. He didn't know whether others would be disgusted. Anyway, Lin Qi would feel disgusted.
...
"Brother Lin." Zhang Ru lowered her head and looked at Lin Qi with a little complicated mood.
Originally, Zhang Ru was the only editor in charge of the publishing house. She was responsible for helping Lin Qi revise the manuscript and also sold a lot of effort. Moreover, she was a relative of the company's boss Zhang Dahai before, and her opinion on Lin Qi was only Zhang Dahai's partner, and she did not look up to him too much.
But at this time, the identity is different.
Zhang Ru clearly realized that uncle Zhang Dahai was holding Lin Qi's thighs. Now Zhang Dahai is just a coolie who is Lin Qi's man.
There is only one real core ruler in the company - Lin Qi!
When Zhang Ru saw him again, she already felt the superiority and inferiority...
"The first 1.5 million words of "Fighting Breaks the Sky" can be published in a total of more than 20 episodes, so the company will carefully school the team, and then arrange for publication." Lin Qi threw the manuscript printed by the typewriter to Zhang Ru, "By the way, a recruitment advertisement will be posted in the next episode. One person related to finance and finance will be recruited, with a monthly salary of 3,500, one lawyer, with a monthly salary of 5,000. Five R&D personnel in the electronics industry will have a monthly salary of negotiable."
"Electronics industry..." Zhang Ru hesitated a little.
Finance, lawyers, etc. are understandable.
But even if a new entrepreneurial publishing company wants to expand its business scope, it will not be able to use personnel from the electronics industry.
"It's not that the new entrepreneurial publishing company needs personnel in the electronics industry. It's me, I'm going to set up an electronics factory." Lin Qi said with a smile, "If it goes well, the new entrepreneurial publishing company will have one more brother company - the new entrepreneurial electronics company!"
"Okay! No problem!" After Zhang Ru understood, she quickly followed Lin Qi's instructions.
In fact, in the late 1970s and even in the 1980s, Hong Kong still had good industrial capacity. Heavy industry was naturally not good, and Hong Kong did not have the conditions to develop. However, light industry was quite developed, and among the many industrial cities in Asia, the industrialization level was at the forefront.
For example - the most common electronic watches and calculators in the mainland market in the 1980s were no longer made in Japan, South Korea and other countries, but were mainly made in Hong Kong.
These goods made in Hong Kong, like the Chinese manufacturing decades later, are synonymous with cheap and beautiful goods. High-end may not work, but they are first-class in terms of cost performance.
For example, in this era of Hong Kong, there have been a bunch of world-class industry kings, plastic flower kings, clothing kings, leather shoes kings, belt kings, watch kings, and electric fan kings...
Later, Hong Kong de-industrialization was very simple. Before Hong Kong's return, the British government maliciously pushed up Hong Kong's real estate prices and overdrawn Hong Kong's development prospects, allowing the Hong Kong government to auction a large amount of land to earn amazing income.
Although the agreement signed between China and the UK cannot sweep away the fiscal revenue to the UK. Before leaving, the British Hong Kong government left, it invested in a series of major projects through major projects to transfer interests to British-funded enterprises.
Through this crazy blood draw, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry was basically completely suffocated. But real estate businesses, before returning, have to go to heaven!
If we say, what is the most promising thing in Hong Kong to its return from the 1980s to its return - real estate! What is the most promising thing - manufacturing!
Today, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry is already showing signs of decline.
As real estate prices and labor continue to rise, most factories are not living for a long time. Including the current promising low-end electronic manufacturing industries - electronic watches, calculators, etc., relying on the mainland market, they can only make money in the 1990s.
But that is because you are not enterprising and keep doing very low-end products and OEM products, you will fall into trouble.
If you have your own core competitiveness, for example, in the 1980s, the labor cost of the electronics industry in Japan was much more expensive than that in Hong Kong, but in this era, Nintendo and Sony relied on launching various popular products to make money and get cramps.
Before the Internet wave, the electronics industry was a market that constantly attracted attention and created huge profits - console games, walkmans, handhelds, mp3, vcd, DVD... There are countless businesses that will make money in the future. Unfortunately, most of these were earned by Japanese companies.
Well, the VCD was voluntarily given up by Japanese companies because the standards for VCD and DVD were formulated at the same time, but since VCD had no performance advantages compared with traditional video recorders, it was not only price advantage. Therefore, European, Japanese and other companies that set standards directly ignored VCD and began to layout DVD...
Later Chinese companies almost exclusively enjoyed the VCD industry and were once ecstatic. However, a few years later, the VCD brands collapsed one after another because, from the 1990s to the early 21st century, the VCD technical standards were just formulated, which were far behind the DVD standards born in the same period... After the mass production of DVD, the price advantage of VCD was gradually lost.
Therefore, the electronics industry cannot just look at short-term cheap advantages, but also take into account future development prospects. Being able to see the industry prospects clearly and make the right choices is more important than technical level!
Vision and choice are the primary productive force in the technology industry!
If you have poor vision and choose the wrong route, you are doomed to fail. But if you have mediocre ability, you may also become a miracle in the new era if you choose the right route!
Lin Qi is preparing to recruit personnel in the electronics industry, but in fact he is preparing to build a team to take the path that Japanese electronics companies need to take and leave them with no way out!
Facing giants like ibm, Cisco, Microsoft, Intel in the United States, Lin Qi has no way to do anything, trying to stop the PC trend, even the time traveler is a mantis arm to block the car.
But... those Japanese companies essentially rely on small ideas to win, not invincible!
