"Minister, Chinese..."

Liuri Kyoka pushed open the door in a panic, but saw Harahisuke's stern eyes staring at him, and he was talking to someone with a phone call in his ear.

She quickly stuck out her tongue, quietly closed the door and retreated.

It was not until she waited for more than ten minutes that she heard Hara Heisuke's stern "Please come in" sound from the office.

"Minister." Liuri Kyoka pushed open the office door with trembling hands and walked in carefully.

Hara Heisuke is a person who cares a lot about the superiors and inferiors. If he encounters an incident where he enters the leader's office without knocking on the door, he has to be beaten up. Liuri Kyoka has no business ability, but I don't know if he has been with the old man Shinnosuke Fukuyama for a long time, and he is a little careless about etiquette.

Just because of this similar thing, the younger ones were criticized a few times, and the older ones were fined and confiscated for bonuses.

Now he unconsciously committed the crime to Harahira Assistant again. How could he be uneasy? Harahira Assistant shouted loudly, he felt that he could just stuff her little body into his mouth and swallow it!

However, today Hara Heisuke seemed very happy for some reason. He glanced at Liuri Kyoka lightly, pointed to the seat in front of him and said.

"Well, Jingxiang, you are also a middle-level cadre. You should be more steady in your work! You have been promoted to the Minister of the Technical Reserve Department for three months. How can you be so impetuous as an ordinary employee?"

Although Harahirasuke criticized her, he was not very angry when he looked at his expression. This was because he had just received a call. His investment broker reported to him about the investment situation in the first half of the year and learned that his assets had increased by 23%, no one would care about the minor problems he had under his jurisdiction.

"It's the minister. I will pay attention in the future!" Liuri Kyoka secretly felt fortunate in her heart. Unexpectedly, Minister Harahira, who is the most serious on weekdays, let him go. It seems that today will be his lucky day!

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Minister,. It started production yesterday."

As he said, Kyoka Ruri handed over the newspaper that translated Japanese. Since returning from China last year, due to Sharp's lack of Chinese talents, the superiors arranged for her to sign up for a Chinese training class. In the mid-1990s, Japan's investment in the mainland was growing rapidly, and this enthusiasm for learning Chinese and Chinese culture was very high.

With the blessing of similarities between Japanese and Chinese, Kyoka Ruri can barely understand some Chinese newspapers now.

Hara Heisuke frowned slightly. He took the newspaper and the translation note from her hand and read it in comparison.

The newspaper was Zhou Shuo standing at the exit of the production line, holding a 15-inch LCD panel with Wang Zhongyang in his left and right hands. The report next to this photo was translated into Japanese by Kyoka Ruri and attached to the newspaper. Heisuke Hara finished reading the report in one breath and placed the newspaper on the table. He quietly began to ponder.

Liuri Kyoka didn't dare to disturb him at this time, so she had to sit there honestly without even breathing.

"The report of this article is still not comprehensive enough. What is the production of LCD panels for these Chinese people? How high is the yield rate? Where are the sales?"

Hara Heisuke picked up paper and pen from the table, wrote a note and handed it to Kyoka Ruri.

"The most important thing for our Japanese companies to do business is this intelligence. The Chinese people's Jinglong plan to build an LCD production line, which is something we have known for a long time. But unexpectedly, they started production so quickly. We caught us off guard. In this way, you take this note to the Intelligence Department 2, and they have some relationship in China. I want to know the specific situation of the Chinese people's LCD industry as soon as possible."

Ryuri Kyoka took the note from Hara Heisuke and glanced at it quickly. Seeing that there were no extra words on it, she just saw that it should be a phone number on it.

Before she could guess what the phone number meant, Hara Heisuke asked immediately.

"Whether the results of your research on high-voltage IC and IPS screens are there for patents? Can you smoothly bypass the patent barriers of Chinese people?"

Liuli Kyoka couldn't help frowning when she heard this, shook her head and sighed: "Minister Yuanhei. Our technical reserve department has too few staff. At present, we have to track the situation in China and provide support for the technical implementation of the Technology Development Department. The work is already very hard!"

She secretly looked up at Harahisuke. This crying poor is a skill that all subordinates in the world must know. Of course, Ryuri Kyoka had to express the hard work of her department first. However, seeing Harahisuke's stern eyes, she quickly changed her mind.

"However, our technical reserve department has overcome all difficulties. After many hard work day and night, we can now roughly determine a patent route to bypass the technical barriers of the Chinese! But in this way, the development cycle will probably be longer."

"Once the ISP screens produced by Chinese people are on the market, they will easily occupy the entire LCD market..."

Hara Heisuke touched his chin as if he was talking to himself, saying, "You can't wait any longer, otherwise we may lose the entire Chinese market, even the US and Japanese markets. The two technologies of high-voltage drive IC and IPS screen can be said to be completely revolutionary progress, and cannot be stopped by capital and market position alone."

Of course, if Fanhan Group is an unknown small company, you don’t have to worry even if you have such technology. But the First Fanhan Group is not a "small" company, but a real big company. The total fixed assets of Fanhan Group should be between 20 and 3 billion US dollars, but this is not a big problem. The most terrifying thing is that Fanhan Group’s financial situation is extremely good.

With profits from investment in the US capital market, Fanhan Group has at least 4 billion US dollars of stocks and investments that can be cashed in at any time. The total assets of 7 billion US dollars are so terrifying. With Sharp's top 500, the total assets ranked 205 last year were only 18 billion US dollars. But how much liquidity can there be?

To put it just one thing, Sharp's annual summary released to the public in 1996 showed that its annual balance of profit was US$479 million. Of course, Sharp is currently in a period of rapid expansion, and most of its profits are invested.

But it can also be seen that Sharp really doesn’t have much money to live in.

So when facing Fanhan Group, which has a lot of cash, it naturally feels like it has nowhere to start.

If you want to leverage the influence of Sharp's multinational company, you are still hiding in the closed market in mainland China. You have an industrial chain that does not rely on foreign countries and strong support from China. This is simply completely inseparable from Sharp's circle of power.

What should Sharp do when facing such a competitor who has no idea what to do?

"Notify the Technical Development Department and ask them to prepare for both ways. One is to continue to realize the technical route of avoiding the other party's patent barriers, and the other is to implement these two technologies as quickly as possible, regardless of whether they violate the Chinese patents!"

As the new director of the Technical Reserve Department, Liuli Kyoka reminded from a professional perspective: "In that case, it may be very unfavorable to future patent lawsuits. If malicious infringement is required, punitive damages will be judged, which may be a big number!"

"Of course I know this!" Harahisuke gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Even if he is sentenced to punitive compensation, it is better than losing the global market. Not to mention that patent lawsuits are not easy to fight, even if the judgment is made, we will still retain the market share in our hands, not to mention how to execute it is still a problem..."

Yes, the Panhan Group is indeed insulated from Sharp's sphere of influence. But on the other hand, Sharp is also insulated from the Panhan Group's sphere of influence. How does the Chinese court enforce the sentence? Can the Chinese still come to Japan? As for the lawsuits coming to Japan - those who are not afraid of death will come!

At most, after you squeeze Fanhan Group and BOE out of the LCD market, you can just lose some money and save face.

"But this will cause a great blow to our Sharp's business reputation. Once the company has difficulties in operating, it will form a chain reaction like an avalanche." Liuli Jingxiang retorted: "The commercial reputation that Sharp has worked hard to establish over the years may be ruined!"

Japan's business environment is unique all over the world, and its domestic business reputation is a very important record. Japanese companies have both extremely cruel sides, and their contract execution is rigid and cruel. But on the other hand, they care very much about the favors in the shopping mall. Companies that tear off the veil of warmth will have many difficulties in the entire shopping mall. Ignoring market rules and trampling on the patent system will undoubtedly completely abandon the warm disguise of large companies.

He loves beauty and is martial, respects etiquette and fights, likes newness and stubbornness, and obeys but does not dominate. This characteristic of being both cruel and warm is the embodiment of the Japanese character of chrysanthemum and knife in the shopping mall.

"That's so exaggerated, Kyoka, you're over-thinking."

After Harahisuke made the decision, his expression became much more relaxed and said with a smile: "Everyone is snobbish. As long as we are the first in the LCD field, we will never lack companies willing to provide cooperation. As for other fields, no one will care about such things. As long as the overall economic environment of Japan does not become bad, Sharp's market position will not be challenged."

"You have to know that this society is like this, and you will only remember the name of the final winner."

What Harahisuke said is also a reflection of the Japanese character, which is to obey and not tame. As long as Sharp is still in the position of king of the LCD market, even if there is a flaw in his reputation, there will be no obvious obstacles.

"What if the Japanese environment deteriorates?" Liuri Kyoka couldn't help asking.

"Hahahaha, how is that possible? We Japan is an allies of the United States and the second largest economy in the world! If Japan's economy deteriorates, unless the entire East Asian economy collapses!"
