RNP Chapter 655
Chapter 655
The old man was in trouble, but the old man was in trouble.
Just as the members of the Chip Alliance were in a state of panic, cursing the crazy pricing of Longguang Group.
As one of the initiators, Su Mo was sitting in the restaurant in the Zhongzhan Family Courtyard, leisurely enjoying the breakfast carefully prepared by Wang Xiaoyan for him.
Seeing Su Mo eating with relish and occasionally making satisfied exclamations, Wang Xiaoyan, who was sitting opposite, smiled happily.
After flirting for a few words, she asked softly:
“Momo.”
“If the same 4nm chip, is the quantum chip stronger than the silicon-based chip in all aspects?”
“That’s for sure, why do you think of asking this?” Su Mo said while drinking milk.
He was a little confused. How could a person who could install all software on the C drive suddenly care about the chip problem?
Under Su Mo’s gaze, Wang Xiaoyan said with a smile:
“After Longguang Group announced the price of quantum chips yesterday, it has been dominating the top of the major hot search lists.”
“Netizens across the country are hotly discussing why we set the price so low for such an advanced chip.”
“And Mo Mo, you are the vice chairman of Longguang Group, so everyone is speculating that you did this.”
“Many netizens are saying that the price is too low, and we should use advanced technology to rip off foreigners, otherwise Longguo will suffer too much.”
After hearing Wang Xiaoyan’s words, Su Mo immediately laughed and said:
“First of all, Longguang Group is a state-owned enterprise.”
“Everything should be based on national strategy. The pursuit of profit is secondary. It can even be said that it doesn’t matter whether it makes money or not. It has to be done even if it loses money.”
“Therefore, Longguang Group’s chip pricing strategy seems to be just a business decision, but it contains far-reaching significance and considerations.”
“We can’t just look at this issue from the perspective of short-term economic interests, but from the perspective of the long-term development and overall interests of Longguo.”
Seeing Wang Xiaoyan’s confused look, Su Mo knew that she probably didn’t understand, or couldn’t understand it at all.
As one of the decision-makers of Longguang Group, Su Mo stood at a height far higher than ordinary people, and his starting point for considering the problem was naturally different.
The reason why the price of quantum chips is set so low is crazy.
Its real purpose is to completely defeat the semiconductor industry of Western countries, so as to gain an absolute advantage in future technological competition.
As long as the Western chip alliance loses profits and can’t make money, foreigners will no longer invest in technology research and development.
They may even give up and turn to other profitable industries.
This is also the biggest difference between private family businesses controlled by chaebols and state-owned enterprises controlled by the state.
After hearing Su Mo’s explanation, Wang Xiaoyan, holding her cheeks, said thoughtfully:
“Then… Momo.”
“According to you, many state-owned enterprises in our Long country are losing money?”
“It seems that many Western countries emphasize not competing with the people for profits, and all enterprises are private enterprises, right?”
“Then why can those private enterprises in the West make profits? They will not continue to work even if they lose money, right?”
Hearing this, Su Mo raised his eyebrows: “Oh~ Sister Xiaoyan, you still understand these?”
Wang Xiaoyan stroked her hair in front of her forehead: “That’s right, I am studying hard every day now.”
Looking at Wang Xiaoyan who was a little proud, Su Mo poured a basin of cold water on her:
“Then you have only learned the fur and only seen the superficial surface.”
“Private enterprises emphasize seeking profits and avoiding harm, and they only care about money. If there is no profit, they will withdraw.”
“State-owned enterprises emphasize social responsibility and focus on the country and the nation. For long-term development, let alone not making money, we must continue even if we lose money. ”
“Just like… Penguin can make hundreds of billions a year by making games.”
“Ahri can easily enter the top 100 companies in the world by borrowing money and lending.”
“Everyone will rush to do profitable businesses.”
“But like highways, subways, high-speed railways, water conservancy, power grids…”
“These are difficult problems that will take decades to solve, hundreds of billions of dollars to invest, and may even lose money.”
“I’m afraid only state-owned enterprises dare to do it and are willing to do it.”
Hearing Su Mo say this, Wang Xiaoyan was a little confused:
“Then… those Western countries are obviously private enterprises, don’t they also have electricity, highways, subways, high-speed railways, water conservancy and so on?”
“Could it be… that they are also losing money every year? This is a bit unlikely, right?”
“But since Western private enterprises can make money, why do our Dragon State-owned enterprises lose money?
”
Su Mo couldn’t help but sigh at Wang Xiaoyan’s question.
The concept of macroeconomics is indeed too complicated for Wang Xiaoyan, who comes from the entertainment industry.
“Since you were so talkative last night, I will explain it to you in an easy-to-understand way.”
Su Mo’s sudden frivolous words made Wang Xiaoyan blush and glare at him.
After putting away his joking look, Su Mo said seriously:
“Let’s take the subway as an example.”
“For example: the Foshan section of the Guangzhou-Foshan Line is 21 kilometers long.”
“The cost per kilometer is about 700 million, and the total construction cost is nearly 15 billion.”
“Even if this 15 billion is deposited in the bank, at an annualized rate of 5%, there will be 750 million in interest a year.”
“And the ticket revenue of the Guangzhou-Foshan Line is only about 800 million a year. ”
“Add maintenance costs and employee salaries, let alone making a profit, the operation and maintenance is losing money every year.”
“How do foreign countries do it? They don’t repair places with few people if they can.”
“What’s already been built is simply sold to private companies.”
“That’s what Yingguo did, and the result was that the ticket price immediately doubled.”
“And because the subway is too expensive, no private company can take it all in one go, so it can only be sold in sections.”
“As a result, passengers can’t buy direct tickets when they take the subway even though there are direct routes.”
“Because no one wants to give free advertising to other companies’ routes.”
“This also causes passengers to spend more money and more time.”
“Only the state-owned subway in Longguo has assumed this social responsibility, making losses every year and repairing every year.”
“Now, eight of the top ten cities in the world in terms of subway mileage are our Longguo cities. ”
At this point, Su Mo paused and continued:
“For example, the bus routes in many second- and third-tier cities, and even the buses in rural villages.”
“Why do they run as usual every day regardless of rain or shine when there are only a few passengers?”
“It is to provide travel convenience for villagers in remote mountainous areas.”
“Especially those old men and women who are too old to ride electric bikes and have no children to take care of them at home.”
“This makes it convenient for them to go to towns to buy and sell goods, or go to the county town to see a doctor.”
“It only costs one yuan to take people from the village to the street town, and three yuan to take them to the county town.”
“Only a few old men and women take the bus in one trip, and they can’t even make back the gas money. It would be strange if they didn’t lose money.”
“If it were a private company, they would not do this unless they were kicked in the head by a donkey!”
