Chapter 489 Proposal
Although Sharp is a top 500 company in the world, once he gets serious, he will react very quickly.?
Here, Kyoka Ruri reacted back what she learned and didn't have to go back to Japan. She just wrote a report and sent an international fax back. On the third day, the minister of Sharp's LCD Industry Department flew over directly.
This scared Liuli Jingxiang. She didn't expect that with a report, she would call her immediate boss directly.
But at this time, her leading staff played a role, booking a hotel, renting a car, arranging a trip, communicating and making an appointment...
Sharp was a relatively late company in China. It has been systematically opened a branch in China until 2005. Although it had offices and some production cooperation companies before, the LCD Industry Department itself did not have any convenient channels for use.
Any large organization, whether it belongs to a private or a state, a shareholding or a dictator, will inevitably have bureaucratic problems. This is related to the size of the organization, and it has little to do with ownership. If the management is worse in China, it is not because of the nature of ownership, but because there is a gap between scientific management and theory and foreign countries.
But no matter what, Sharp's LCD Industry Ministry wants to use these relationships in China, but it is better to let Liuli Jingxiang handle it easily.
After all, in 1996, LCD monitors were still a very luxurious product, and there were not many people in China who could afford it.
After talking less, Liuli Kyoka made her own preparations without stopping, and the Minister of the LCD Industry Department Hara Heisuke rushed over with the negotiation team.
An eighteen-person negotiating team set out from Japan. This team includes both senior leaders in the Ministry of LCD Industry, professional technical personnel and group legal personnel. Even if such a configuration is obtained internationally, it is already at a very equal level.
Sharp in this era was the time of cooking oil in flames, and it was incomparable to the embarrassment of being forced to delist the stock markets in the United States and London in the later generations.
In 1996, Sharp was a real giant, ranking 205 in the world's top 500. Its annual turnover is more than 17 billion US dollars and more than 44,000 employees. It is really a very terrifying and very capital-friendly enterprise.
Nikon is not the leader in the lithography machine market. But the Fortune 500 has never had its share. It is impossible to play with members of the world's top corporate clubs if you want to sell some optical products such as cameras, lenses, and microscopes. It is impossible to play with members of the world's top corporate clubs. It's nothing more, the products are too niche. Look at the companies on the list. Which one does not have a complete industrial chain and taps the resources in your hands to the limit.
Although Canon is not as good as Nikon in lithography machines, it has more products than it. Its technology is not as good as you, but its ability to do the market is stronger than you. This is the root cause of Nikon's hard work.
It’s like writing a novel at Qidian. Even if the orders for "The Son-in-law" are worth 100,000, he won’t be able to resist Banana and he won’t update it!
So, even if Fanhan Group cheated Nikon in a bad way before, it may not necessarily make Sharp pay much attention to it. Then the sudden emergence of high-standard negotiation team is very confusing.
"This is Hara Heisuke, Minister of Sharp's LCD Industry Department, and this is Mitsushima, Minister of LCD Technology Development Department..."
Liuri Kyoka seriously introduced the identity of the visiting delegation to Zhou Shuo. The most important thing is of course the Minister of Industry, Heisuke Harashima Hiroshima, Minister of Technology Development.
When he looked at the two people carefully, the other party also carefully evaluated him in his heart.
Hara Heisuke is a short and strong middle-aged Japanese in his forties. He has a firm face with a strong national character, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he has some defects in height, he is imposing. As his eyes open and close, he is shocking, and stunning shimmers are heading towards Zhou Shuo.
In Harahisuke's mind, he was constantly analyzing the smiling Chinese man in front of him. Is this the person who dominates the development of China's LCD industry? It doesn't seem that he is such a powerful guy.
Zhou Shuo's evaluation was very high when he had never met anyone. Starting from scratch, a Chinese man who could make such a big business in the United States, how could he be a person without ability?
But it seems that being famous is worse than meeting! Zhou Shuo in front of him smiled humbly, had a kind face, and was dressed in ordinary clothes. The most important thing is that in his eyes, Harahisuke could not see murderous aura and persistence. This is very unaccustomed to people who are already accustomed to Japanese shopping malls and workplaces. How can such a person without invasion succeed?
But it just fits the saying, you are looking at the scenery on the bridge, and the people who are looking at the scenery are looking at you.
Zhou Shuo was also carefully looking at Hara Heisuke, Sharp's LCD Industry Minister. From this person, Zhou Shuo really admired Sharp's ability to employ people.
The LCD market is currently in a period of rapid expansion, and technological progress has given LCD display commercial value in many application fields. In this context, the Minister of the LCD Industry Department himself is a strong person, which can well drive the team to expand the market. Similarly, such a person can also temper Sharp's LCD industry chain and lay a solid foundation for future expansion.
Yuan Ping helps walk with wind, act thunderously, and raises his hands and feet, and has a burst of momentum. Just standing there without saying a word can make people feel stressed.
But no matter how serious his expression was, Zhou Shuo seemed to be blowing on his face without any impact.
Until Liuri Kyoka introduced the identities of both parties and gave a brief greeting, Hara Heisuke turned his back and laughed strongly: "Zhou Sang is also a bit famous in the Japanese business world. Nikon lithography machine technology is so advanced that he actually fell into trouble. It's good, very good!"
The Sharp LCD production line uses Canon's lithography machine, and Harahisuke doesn't care about how Zhou Shuo treats Nikon. However, from the perspective of the Japanese, Nikon, a famous Japanese company, was always a little angry when you were cheated by a Chinese.
Zhou Shuo touched his nose and smiled: "We are also in normal business cooperation with Nikon, but some things cannot be interfered with in China. Minister Yuanhei, I think Sharp is not Nikon. Fanhan Group always respects you to your partners..."
"Oh, this is a Chinese saying. I wonder if Minister Yuanhei can understand it?"
Hara Heisuke looked at Zhou Shuo for a while and thought about whether he could trust Zhou Shuo. Finally, he nodded and said, "Of course, the meaning of this sentence can be understood from the literal meaning. I don't want to dig into the holidays between Zhou Sang and Nikon. I believe Sharp will be able to ensure that our cooperation will go smoothly."
The two of them started a small fight. Zhou Shuo smiled slightly and reached out and pointed out: "Minister Yuanhei, please come in."
It was also the Jinglong Project Base of Huaqing University, and Zhou Shuo took the lead. Behind him, Hara Heisuke and a group of Sharp's entourage followed into the small building.
Although Harashi Heisuke has access to a lot of commercial information, he is not the actual experience of the incident. At least from the perspective of the Nikon lithography machine production line, Fanhan Group is not the executor of the conspiracy. Of course, Nikon itself will not spread the actual situation. It is so miserable that he is cheated of so many people, so he really feels embarrassed to talk about it everywhere.
So in the Japanese business community, although I felt that Zhou Shuo's means of obtaining lithography machines were not so bright, this happened purely because of the general trend. On the one hand, it underestimated the degree of importance Chinese officials attach to this production line, and on the other hand, Nikon's means were too rough. If I were not so eager to drive out Fanhan Group, wouldn't it be better for people to enjoy the monopoly dividends comfortably?
Why bother to have a last slap and glaring at me? Even if Fanhan Group acquired the production line, Intel's lithography machine was unable to deliver the goods for a long time. With such a heavy burden on her back, it is not an industry company, so it is difficult to understand Zhou Shuo's insidious intentions that led to the trap from the beginning. Instead, he would feel that this should be the result of rushing the donkey and putting it on the shelves.
Such a deviation in understanding led to the misjudgment of Zhou Shuo's personality by Harao.
"Minister Yuanhei, please sit down. Everyone from Sharp, please take a seat." Zhou Shuo arranged enthusiastically, and made people put on fruit and refreshments. Of course, these are all good things, and no one would eat them in a big way.
With the staff on both sides taking the seat, Hara Heisuke said proudly: "I heard that Zhou Sang is promoting China's LCD industry. We, Sharp, are the leader in the LCD industry. You should cooperate more with us."
"Haha, that's right." Zhou Shuo nodded and smiled: "Sharp is currently the leader in the LCD industry. Minister Yuanping should know that high-voltage drive IC and IPS technology are of significance to the LCD industry. If the LCD industry can expand the market, the most profitable one is naturally Sharp. Therefore, cross-licensing patented technology is a win-win approach for both you and me."
"Zhou Sang is right about high-voltage drive IC and IPS technology, and it will indeed have a drastic impact on the LCD industry." Yuan Heisuke said expressionlessly: "But cross-licensing of patents is too unfair to Sharp. We have more than 300 patents on LCD technology, but you only have two technologies, all of which are authorized, which is impossible."
Zhou Shuo spread his hands and shook his head and said, "Minister Harahira is not sincere. You are not the only one who owns LCD technology patents in Japan. Nec, Hitachi, Panasonic and Toshiba also have a large number of patented technologies. The cross-licensing of Japanese LCD manufacturers has formed an industrial alliance. Could it be that the number of patents of the other four LCD manufacturers has reached the height of Sharp?"
"It's different, at least their patents are not single digits."
"But neither of these two technologies are important in my hands, what does Minister Harahira think?"
Hara Heisuke looked at Zhou Shuo, nodded and said, "That's right, the two technologies of high-voltage drive IC and IPS are of epoch-making significance."
