Chapter 224: Three Low-Key Five-Year Plans [Subscription Request]

On July 7, Wang Chengguang was still jogging in his villa when he saw Wu Xiaowei, who was dressed in fresh clothes, running over and saying, "Sister Taozi is really pregnant? This feels a bit dreamy. When is she going to Hong Kong Island?"

Yang Tao’s cousin was confirmed to be pregnant in early December last year. She was a little over a month pregnant at the time, and her due date was early September.

Da Taozi wanted to have the next generation at the beginning of this month. She didn't want the baby to be too old, so she basically planned to have one around the age of 56 or 7. It was only during these days that Wang Chengguang confirmed her condition.

So Yang Tao can still stay in Beijing until her cousin Su Qing is due to give birth and hold the baby. She will go to Hong Kong Island in late September or October and hide there until...

Wang Chengguang smiled and nodded, "Why, you thought about it too?"

Wu Xiaowei rolled her eyes at him. "I'm only 21 years old. I haven't had enough fun yet. I'm still a child myself. Since Sister Taozi is helping you, I want to be free for a few more years. I've seen many examples where once they become mothers, they can't help but become the ones taking care of the kids."

"There are also all kinds of crazy people who show off their kids, whether it's Miaomiao's cousin, Xia Lin, or Dalong's girlfriend Xiao Zhou, they are all like this."

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "This is the best, otherwise I will suffer."

Yang Tao joined the Wang family relatively late, but when he gained experience, he could accomplish a lot of great things in ten months.

The two chatted while running. As they were chatting, Wang Chengguang's phone rang. He took a look at the incoming call and it was Lei Jun...

………………

At 9:30 in the morning, Wang Chengguang arrived at the headquarters of Guomao Media. Lei Jun was already waiting in his office floor. After seeing Wang Chengguang, Lei Jun glanced at the front desk with suspicion.

Wang Chengguang smiled and led the way. "Don't bother with those two. One might be an undercover agent who has been brainwashed by the Japanese high-ranking officials and wants to find out about some of my medical formulas. The other South Korean girl is simple. She will listen to the Li family and do things for money."

"At this stage, I have a good cooperation with the eldest son and the eldest princess of the Li family, and I have enough money to pay her a salary. She will stay and serve as a mouthpiece."

Lei Jun clenched his fist and coughed twice. After entering the office, he pulled out a list. "Mobile phone screens were also a top priority. Since Mr. Wang has even won the contract to manufacture Samsung mobile phone screens."

"A lot of things are missing now. This is the rough list I came up with. Please have a look, Mr. Wang."

Wang Chengguang read it carefully and nodded, "What price do you plan to sell it at?"

This is similar to the impression I have of the first generation Xiaomi mobile phone. Of course, it is not absolutely the source of original parts and components. After all, it is quite a bit ahead of time, so it is roughly the same.

Lei Jun hurriedly said, "The high-end phone is iPhone 4. Mr. Wang, have you ever used iPhone 4? It was launched in North America on June 6. I bought one there and used it for a long time. It is truly a groundbreaking product."

"The big screen and smart features are fine, but in terms of hardware, software, and user experience, the iPhone 4 is much better than previous versions."

"If we attack the high-end market, we have no chance and cannot win. In the mid-range market, we have the Meizu M8, which is priced at 2600 yuan. Although Meizu M8 has been sued by Apple in some regions, it is not sold in Europe and the United States, nor is it sold in South Korea. The lawsuits are dragging on and will not affect the sales of Meizu M8."

"I heard that Jack Huang is also upgrading in all aspects, playing with M9... Our Spark phones can only go low-end, with a retail price of less than 2000 yuan. This is the best and cheapest list I can assemble. We really don't make any money, we just test the waters and accumulate some experience in manufacturing and assembling mobile phones."

Wang Chengguang nodded and stood up to pour Lei Jun a cup of tea. "What you said makes sense, but it's still not okay to make mobile phones this way. Even if you sell these configurations to customers for more than 1900 yuan, it won't be long before you end up like the first-generation Meizu M8."

"It often freezes, has a black screen, has problems making or receiving calls, and becomes severely overheated during use, etc."

Wang Chengguang had just started to study mathematics, and his overall knowledge reserve was not very high, but through the Meizu M8 incident last year, he had more or less understood some basic configuration issues.

Not to mention that there are memories from before the time travel to refer to.

As long as Lei Jun still buys the configuration worth more than one thousand yuan, the overall machine will be more prone to problems than Meizu M8.

You get what you pay for...If you buy spare parts and components at a bargain price, problems will inevitably arise.

Lei Jun also knew this. He took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "Then what should we do? Mr. Wang, just give us your instructions."

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Since we are using the Internet thinking to make mobile phones, why not make it more Internet-friendly? We build a machine. The cost of parts and components is 2500 yuan. The assembly process consumes 200 yuan in labor costs, and the loss of transportation and retail, etc., and the final price is 1900 yuan."

"It means a loss of 800 yuan for each machine. If we sell 100 million units, it means a loss of million yuan. But it will make countless netizens look favorably upon us, and it will establish our image as a super enterprise, which will bring us some profit..."

"We lose 800 yuan on each phone, so we can charge software vendors for the software installed, whether it's Baidu, insurance groups, car company apps, Tianya Forum, etc. We can ask for money, but this will definitely not make back the million yuan."

"But it's a way to show the market that we have a stable profit point."

When Lei Jun first heard about losing money selling mobile phones, he shuddered a little. But when he heard this, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Yes, we can learn from iPhone 4 and collect Apple tax! Any app launched on Apple machines will have several percentage points of the profit taken by Apple. That is more ruthless than the North American IRS."

"We sell phones at a loss and create a good reputation among the public. One million phones means one million consumers who can spend 100 yuan to buy phones. Even if we charge for installed software and charge Apple tax on the system, we still can't make back the 100 million yuan loss. But when we finally get financing and go public, we won't be afraid."

"The first generation lost 8 million, the second generation lost 16 billion, and the third generation lost 24 billion. But we have 600 million consumers with strong spending power. This is the big platform of our Xinghuo mobile phone. Collecting taxes on the platform is a basic operation."

For a platform like this, 10 million users is as valuable as 100 million on Weibo or more than 100 million on Tencent Holdings Ltd.

Because each user represents a mobile phone, after buying a mobile phone worth 1900 yuan, they still have to pay phone bills, game, gas, electricity, water and gas recharges regularly, etc.

This does not mean that every machine is the head of a family, but at least they have a certain degree of economic independence. The platform charges for installing software, but it cannot fill the big hole. They can go public for financing, which is the basic money-burning operation of traditional Internet.

Last summer, in the money-burning war in the payment field, Alibaba and Spark, Penguin and JD started with 12 billion yuan. They raised more charitable funds from various major brand manufacturers, but they were all burned out before the end of the summer vacation.

Such a Spark phone completely uses the money-burning tactics of Internet giants, which is incomparable to the Meizu M8.

Taking 600 million units as an example, the selling price of 1900 is equivalent to a transaction volume of more than 110 billion.

There is definitely no chance for Lei Jun’s shares to be cashed out in the short term…

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "You can consider learning from Apple and collecting taxes from software vendors, but the proportion must be low. Don't forget that we are still stabilizing our own R&D capabilities. Now you buy parts from outside at a high price, and we are just running errands, and all the profits are taken away by the manufacturers." "Wait for chargers, charging cables, small boards, headphones, and even mobile phone screens to be fully manufactured by Spark Mobile in a few years. Even if the chips are still in the hands of Europe and the United States, our costs will plummet."

Lei Jun rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Boss Wang, with your Spark platform and the support of the richest man in mainland China, I am honored to join Spark. Don't worry, I will go out and run again immediately. Let's make a loss of 800 yuan for each phone."

Why does everyone think he will definitely be the richest man this year?
Just because of Xinghuo WeChat, not to mention what happened when ICBC gave the money... now you say that Xinghuo WeChat has a market value of only 1000 billion RMB, which is definitely an underestimation.

6月11星火支付推出二维码线下交易内测，内测到7月11全面公测，直到今天的7月31，整个七月份实现交易额100多亿人民币。

This is the WeChat transaction for most of July.

There are also many online payment methods created by Spark Payment PC version and Penguin Paipai.

So far, the number of WeChat users with bank card bindings has exceeded 2000 million, which means that on average each bank card account has conducted transactions worth more than 500 yuan.

For daily retail shopping, buying snacks, etc., an average card-bound user will definitely not spend 500 yuan a month, but on average... the average number is very spiritual.

WeChat QR code scanning can also be used to pay for large amounts. For example, when you go to a comprehensive retail supermarket to buy laptops, air conditioners, electric cars, etc., you have entered the era of WeChat payment and offline QR codes.

Just for these 2000 million users who have bound their bank cards, the value is explosive, with transactions exceeding 100 billion per month, easily exceeding 1000 billion in a year, and reaching to billion.

Two or three hundred billion RMB are transferred in WeChat, what does this mean?!

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration. The transaction volume of Zhifubao in 2012 was 1.8 trillion yuan. According to the data of Zhifubao in 2012, the transaction volume was 1500 billion yuan per month.

By 2021, Zhifubao's annual transaction volume will reach 34.8 trillion yuan! This is when WeChat Pay is competing with it and even has the upper hand.

Everyone knows that even without considering the hundreds of millions of registered users on WeChat and the hundreds of millions of active users, it can still generate two to three hundred billion in cash flow transactions a year.

This WeChat is far from being worth the market value of 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars or RMB.

Even without going public, his stock is still so impressive. If he goes public, his stock will definitely increase several times. Wang Chengguang is the richest man in mainland China...

Lei Jun took another sip of tea and said with a smile, "Boss Wang, I think you are going to explode. I have inquired about the statistics of Chinese people in Forbes. The net worth of Mr. Li in Hong Kong is more than 1400 billion RMB. You own 70% of the shares of Spark WeChat, which is..."

Wang Chengguang was happy. "It's no big deal. As long as Spark doesn't go public, the estimate is just an estimate. Besides, Mr. Li from Hong Kong Island is worth more than 1400 billion. If you add his son and the family wealth, the wealth is even greater."

Lei Jun was speechless, "I mean, you've only graduated for three years and you're already like this. You can't even be called the mainland's Brother Gadget."

Wang Chengguang, "???"

Was Lao Lei reminding him out of kindness? It was no big deal, Wang Chengguang had already started studying mathematics.

He has worked hard for more than three years to become a double academician of mathematics and physics, and will work on chip technology next... All the big guys with some ideas will have high expectations for him.

Wang Chengguang smoked a cigarette and said, "We lose 800 yuan for every phone we sell. If we dare to sell 1 million Xinghuo 1000 phones, we will lose 80 billion yuan... Our platform will grow tenfold. With a loss of 480 billion yuan in three years and 6000 million mobile phone users, this platform will make a lot of money even if it sells advertisements."

Lei Jun took a deep breath and said, "You, the richest man, can afford it, but Pony Ma and I can't. But I am moved by what you said, it's a big platform with 6000 million super users."

As long as there is a bargain to be had, ordinary people will certainly not refuse. No one is stupid if you try to grab the market at a loss of hundreds of billions.

Lao Lei felt that Wang Chengguang was playing too big a game.

Paying employees such high salaries means that the business is not profitable, and they are still losing money on this aspect... Thinking about it, Lei Jun slapped his forehead and said, "I understand. Are you spending money suddenly to make your position less obvious?"

"Once you become the richest man by the end of the year, our mobile phone factory will officially start operations, and the tens of billions of losses will be announced. President Wang, you will be completely stable and you won't have to worry about any troubles."

Wang Chengguang, "???"

Lei Jun smiled again and said, "Mr. Wang, if you want to study for a master's or doctoral degree other than mathematics next time, you can consider my alma mater. Our Wuhan University is not bad either."

Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hands, "Forget it, don't tease me about this."

As an ordinary entrepreneur and player on the rich list, he can only wait a few more years before making a high-profile appearance. He has to talk to Dean Li and Professor Ding of the School of Mathematics at Peking University about his progress in mathematics. The lower-key, the better.

In the short term, the outside world has been thinking that he is cheating... He has been cheating for more than a year and then he will go to the School of Physics to cheat again. I guess by then no one will complain about him too much.

When it really comes to the School of Physics, there will definitely be millions of Spark mobile phones, each retailing at a loss of 800 yuan, making millions of buyers and consumers feel that it is cheap and affordable.

What kind of storm can millions of people and the media platform of Xinghuo Weibo stir up on the Internet? With a little guidance, the whole network will only make good-natured ridicule and jokes about his fake degree and gilding himself.

Fifteen years later, when he flies in his iron suit, the world will fall silent.

As the future richest man in the world, he still needs to keep a low profile for the next three five-year plans.

In fact, Wang Chengguang does not pay much attention to the Internet now, otherwise he would know that those netizens who complained and attacked him for using money to break into Peking University and having a degree in mathematics have begun to be suppressed under another tide.

During the World Cup, there were many crazy cases like Jiang Pengfei, who spent HK$1.8 million chasing the Dutch team and spent more than HK$5 million on the sticks.
The God of Wealth is really huge. When one person shows the way to wealth to countless people and many people follow suit, the profit-making party will go crazy.

This is not the first time that Wang Chengguang has advised the public. In February 2009, Gu Jingjing posted on Weibo calling for people to buy houses and Microsoft stocks. How many people cried to death a few months or more than a year later?

Zhong Miaomiao's Olympic harbinger of good news has an accuracy rate of over 7% regarding China's gold and silver medals.

How many fans are there in China? How many people would like to play it?
