I asked you to modify it, what the hell is this fighter jet's engine?

"...If you lower the price to 50 cents now, our Leading Communications simply can't afford to lose money!"

This isn't a price reduction, this is bleeding money dry...it's suicide!

The meeting room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Xiaoguang.

Just as the joy of winning the patent case had cooled, everyone was immediately stunned by this groundbreaking price reduction plan.

The faces of the finance department managers turned deathly pale, and the marketing department staff exchanged bewildered glances. The magnitude of the price reduction was beyond everyone's expectations.

Gao Xiaoguang did not avoid Xing Laokou's questioning gaze; instead, his eyes became even sharper, like steel that had been tempered.

"Brother Xing, your calculations are correct. Based on the current cost structure... it is indeed a loss."

He spoke slowly, his voice low but undeniably authoritative: "But the accounts... cannot be based solely on immediate profits and losses."

He stood up, walked to the whiteboard at the front of the conference room, and quickly wrote a line: "User scale is the lifeline of satellite communications."

“We won the case, but that only broke through their legal blockade.”

Acorn's attacks on the market and supply chain will only intensify!

Satellite communication is key to breaking this deadlock, but where are the users?

Gao Xiaoguang pointed to the whiteboard, "It costs $2 per minute, and only a very small number of customers in special scenarios can afford it!"

Satellite phones were a last resort for them, an expensive luxury rather than a tool for daily communication.

Without a user base, the network we've invested heavily in will forever remain a castle in the air, and the costs will never be amortized!

We will always be trapped by high marginal costs!

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone, especially the heads of R&D and supply chain: "You say the costs are high? Fine! Then we'll find a way to bring the costs down!"

What is the progress of raw material substitution solutions?

Implement it as soon as possible!

Negotiations with domestic suppliers are proceeding at full speed!

Our purchasing department must approach this with the same fighting spirit we have in a war. We must talk to every small factory, even if it means going door-to-door, to plug the supply gap!

Supply chain costs must be reduced!

at the same time!

"Immediately contact major European and American telecommunications companies to negotiate the licensing of satellite mobile phone terminals..."

"Consultant Gao! You...you're going to trade profits for market share?"

The vice president in charge of sales pressed for an answer.

Gao Xiaoguang nodded. "If our Leading Communications wants to break through the encirclement of several chip giants, we have no choice but to take risky measures and burn our bridges."

"But Xiaoguang..."

Xing Laokou was still worried, but his tone softened a bit, "What about the transition period in between?"

Raw material substitution takes time, new suppliers need time to build up production capacity, and user growth also takes time!

During this period, we lose money on every minute of our calls!

Based on our previous estimates of initial operating costs and potential call volume projections, the funding gap will be very large, and our cash flow will not last more than a few months!

You should know that the additional Qihangxing project has already drawn 15 billion RMB from our budget, which accounts for 80% of our Leading Communications' cash flow.

Once the cost of satellite mobile phone service in Hong Kong drops to 50 US cents per minute, our Leading Communications can't sustain this kind of money-burning strategy for long..."

"I'll figure out the money problem!"

Gao Xiaoguang said decisively, "We won the lawsuit, and that's our strongest endorsement of credibility!"

Now is the time for us to take the initiative and reach out to potential domestic investors and even operators seeking strategic partnerships for overseas expansion!

I will personally lead the team to raise funds!

At the same time, the satellite communications project itself can seek special funding support or low-interest loans at the national level. This is a project concerning communications sovereignty and strategic capabilities!

He walked back to his seat, placed his hands on the conference table, leaned forward, and said with piercing eyes: "Gentlemen, this battle has dragged on to this point, and Acorn and his men have used every trick in the book to try and strangle us."
