Chapter four hundred and seventieth heart
Wang Zhongyang did not agree to Zhou Shuo's three rules with pleasure, but lowered his head and thoughtlessly.
Of course, if he really does not hesitate, Zhou Shuo will instead doubt his sincerity and reason. This kind of major event that may affect multiple industries in China, and he will not even make a decision by himself, but will gain the understanding and support of his superiors.
Especially for things like establishing an industrial alliance, without the official centralized liaison organization, it is difficult to achieve the goal with the capabilities of Fanhan Group and BOE. At this time, the temperament of state-owned enterprises in China has not yet broken away from the rut of the planned economy, and economic benefits are not the absolute driving force. If you really encounter such a elm-head that is worse than having more things than having less things, you have to be better off with the superiors.
"Mr. Zhou, I have recorded all three requests." Wang Zhongyang nodded heavily and gritted his teeth and said, "After I go back, I will immediately start contacting the leaders above and my domestic colleagues, and strive to form a preliminary intention in the matter of the industrial alliance..."
"So quickly, no until next year at the latest." Zhou Shuo patiently listened to Wang Zhongyang's statement and said: "I expect that the economy of Japan, South Korea, and even the entire Asia will be turbulent next year. At that time, we can initially master the production technology of LCD panels. Whether to acquire or take the opportunity to occupy the market will be easy to advance or retreat."
Wang Zhongyang doesn’t know much about finance, so he doesn’t have much feeling about it.
What he really cares about is that Zhou Shuo asked BOE not to hide LCD panel technology privately. The investment in the entire set of LCD production technology may cost 300 billion yuan, and the level involved may even be led by leaders at the National Planning Commission level, but such results cannot be held in his own hands.
As the main person in charge of LCD technology development, Wang Zhongyang is really a little unwilling to accept it.
But he also understood that since Fanhan Group will not intervene in the production of LCD panels, the interests are inconsistent with BOE. What BOE wants is the profit of producing LCD panels, while Fanhan Group wants is the profit of LCD panel production equipment. Only when domestic LCD technology is developed, the use of LCD increases and the liquid crystal production lines continue to be launched, this is the most in line with the interests of Fanhan Group.
To put it bluntly, only Fanhan Group can produce high-voltage driver IC, and every domestic LCD monitor must be purchased from them. If only BOE can use it, the usage will be limited. Moreover, downstream shipments are in the hands of one company, which does not conform to the operating principle.
Whether for the implementation of the LCD strategy or the security of the upstream of the Fanhan Group's industrial chain, diffusion of LCD panel technology in China is an inevitable choice.
"Mr. Zhou, I think everyone can't give it to me. I'll tell you that you have to make a charter." Wang Zhongyang was a little worried, and BOE would end up being useless.
"Mr. Wang, what we have to do is to do that will affect many major industries." Zhou Shuo couldn't help frowning and said, "Let's relax your mind. The more allies join our team, the more chances of winning the battle with Japan and South Korea."
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The atmosphere in the domestic business world is really not very good. Foreign countries, no matter which country, Japan and South Korea, they all rushed out to make money from others. However, it was the domestic LCD production companies. Everyone's enthusiasm was not so consistent.
Historically, in 2005, the three major domestic LCD panel manufacturers considered joining together to keep warm. That was because the LCD market shrank at that time, and the costs of Japanese and Korean companies continued to decline after upgrading their production lines. Domestic LCD panel manufacturers suddenly had a hard time.
During that difficult day, relevant national leaders took the lead, hoping to join forces with Shanghai, Guangzhou Electronics, Kunshan Longteng and BOE to join forces to keep warm, which not only standardized the development of the domestic LCD market and survived this cold winter.
However, who knew that the United plan had just gotten a little bit obvious, but the market for LCD panels on the market ushered in a spring breeze. In May 2006, the price of LCD panels rose 20%!
When this good news came, the proposal of the three companies to join forces was immediately lost. Whether it is the will of heaven, the hearts of the people, or the short-sightedness of the situation, there is a reason for the matter.
Zhou Shuo really doesn't want the industrial alliance he formed to eventually fall to such a level.
The key here is actually four words to put it bluntly: core technology. The generation difference between domestic LCD technology and Japanese and Korean technology is even greater than that of chip manufacturing level and Americans. The production of LCD panels itself is a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry. China's pride in low labor costs has little advantage here.
The generation difference of the highest generation or more than three generations has been offset by all labor cost advantages. Moreover, in terms of product technical indicators, domestic products cannot be produced and can only hover at the low end of the industry.
Under such a market reality, companies cannot go out, or there is no chance of winning in the international market after joining forces. Under such a reality, it is not surprising that the three companies are unwilling to go out and just want to dominate the country.
After all, let’s not talk about the benefits of alliances. This company after alliance is a thorn in the eyes of foreign companies. At that time, the hard-won good days will pass again. Otherwise, why did the LCD panel suddenly rise at the critical moment of the merger of three domestic companies? No, foreign LCD companies know that they can’t force the country to get in a hurry. Don’t cause trouble for me.
The three domestic LCD companies also stop when they see the good news. If you let me go, I will naturally not fight to the death.
As for why it stopped so easily? Because all three companies know that without technological advantages, they may not be able to beat others.
The game between foreign manufacturers, domestic manufacturers and relevant department leaders is really complicated. Zhou Shuo never wants to do such an industrial alliance. Since he wants to do it, he wants to be an indomitable united front, and he cannot be satisfied with the mouse carrying a gun.
Haven't you seen that Fanhan Group has so many industries, which one is competing for the market with domestic companies? He really disdains to do such a fight in the mud pond.
Wang Zhongyang was so angry that he was so angry that Zhou Shuo said, but he still explained: "Mr. Zhou misunderstood. I don't mean to oppose the transfer of technology, but the transfer of technology cannot be hasty. The domestic market is so big, and there are still costs and technical difficulties in the popularization of LCD monitors. If the number of enterprises that cannot be limited, will we suffer in the end not?"
But Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said indifferently: "As long as Mr. Wang promised not to close the door to technology transfer, these details can be discussed after the cooperation intention is determined."
"But Mr. Wang said that the domestic market is limited, and I cannot agree with this. In my opinion, our alliance will definitely go abroad in the end, and no matter how large the production capacity is, it will be digested. Even if it is a domestic market, it may not be so easy to fill it..."
"Forget it, you know that our Fanhan Group has three breakthroughs in LCD technology. It's not too late to talk about it after seeing this third one."
Wang Zhongyang thought for a while, nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, I'll see what technology Mr. Zhou has in his hands."
In his opinion, Zhou Shuo's first two technological breakthroughs can be said to be shocking in China. Whether it is the driver IC or the IO lithography machine, it has something to do with the main business of Fanhan Group, and it is unexpected and reasonable to make breakthroughs. However, he really can't think of any link in the production of LCD panels for this third technology, which can be related to lithography machine or chip manufacturing.
Maybe it was solved for the technical problems in which production link? Wang Zhongyang thought this way and felt that something was reasonable. After all, to master the technology of LCD production, technical research on details such as this is also very valuable. With the financial resources of Fanhan Group, even if it is not good at it, it can still produce some results.
Wang Zhongyang followed Zhou Shuo and Huang Shen out of the clean room. He didn't go far this time. He opened an internal space that needed a secret level in this laboratory.
Zhou Shuo personally used his ID card to brush the sensor, and the transparent glass door opened automatically and the lighting system began to work.
There is no special scene in the confidential test room in this underground laboratory. The only thing that makes people a little strange is that the entire wall has been transformed into an LCD display wall. Wang Zhongyang didn't know how many LCD panels were spliced into this wall for a while, but this feeling was really shocking.
"What is this place for..." Wang Zhongyang stood in the middle of the room and asked in amazement.
"This is a command center surveillance system, which can be used as a traffic monitoring center, transportation allocation center, war command center, financial decision-making center and other institutions that require complex information display, providing intuitive, fast and large-scale display functions. Due to the use of LCD technology, the unit area is much larger than the display range of CRT TV wall..."
"Oh, this is indeed a very good application direction." Wang Zhongyang nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Lao Huang, turn on the system and connect to the test screen." Zhou Shuo turned his head and looked at Huang Shen who was operating.
Huang Shen performed some operations on the operating table, and the monitors on the LCD display wall began to light up one after another. When the entire wall lit up, even Wang Zhongyang took two steps back in shock. This realistic picture feeling eliminated the wide edge of the TV wall, which really made people feel like they were in the scene.
"It's so beautiful!" Wang Zhongyang sighed intoxicatedly and said in admiration: "The Fanhan Group is really well-known and amazing!"
