"Because our alternative technology research and development direction has been mastered by Fanhan Group!"

"Nani!"

"What you said is true? What's going on!"

Harahisuke nodded with difficulty and said gritting his teeth: "We are still checking the specific information about how to leak it, but this situation can be said to be very certain. After inquiring, our technical reserve department found a patent application for Fanhan Group that has entered the protection period. They have ready-made technologies in their hands, and after obtaining the direction, they can easily obtain patents for these derivative technologies."

Xiang Zhengyi and Ruyue Qunzhen looked at each other and saw a trace of despair in each other's eyes.

Sharp started operating the LCD strategy since the 1970s, and lasted for more than 20 years to achieve the achievements of the industry leader today. However, just a mistake will ruin the efforts of more than 20 years.

If alternative technologies are intercepted in advance, it means that Sharp Intelligent launches the gradually mature tft-lcd liquid crystal field, which can only develop in the stn-lcd liquid crystal field.

But in terms of technical prospects, stn-lcd will inevitably be eliminated, and its technical defects are too great. Color performance, response speed, and most important size and resolution have reached the limit. As for Sharp's advisory group analysis, the market will inevitably decline in three to five years.

However, the tft-lcd IPS screen and high-voltage driver IC are the absolute future technological development direction.

Sharp's efforts on this road were cut off, which means he fell into a situation where there was a blockage before and no retreat afterwards. The entire LCD strategic development has completely gone bankrupt and is unsustainable.

How can this not make the two of them despair?

If the stock price falls is just heartbreaking, then it’s just a waste of money now.

"Investigate. Must check!" Xiang Zhengyi slapped the table hard in his hand and said angrily: "If I find out who leaked the news, I want him to live a life worse than death!"

Xiang Masayoshi's tone was as cold as the breath of an ice dragon in hell. He stared at Harahisuke's gaze, like a stare from the abyss.

Hara Heisuke was a little unnaturally nervous, but fortunately, Xiang Zhengyi and Ruyue Qunma were both furious and had no intention of studying his expression carefully.

President Tsukino Shino waved his hand and said in a hurry: "Harahisaki, does the technical department have any other alternative solutions? In the alternative technology route, is there any solution that can produce results as soon as possible? Don't be afraid of spending money, it doesn't matter if you invest more!"

Hara Heisuke lowered his head. After thinking about it, he said: "President, I'm afraid there is no such possibility. Our alternative technology was originally Sharp's previous R&D direction, and it was summarized by referring to the two directions of IPS screen and high-voltage driver I. There is no shortcut to the technology, and it all depends on step-by-step accumulation. Now there is no advantage of the past R&D foundation, so where can we get a new solution in a hurry?"

Xiang Zhengyi grabbed the hair on his head and roared: "Did you just watch us Sharp, your more than 20 years of hard work have been wasted? Harahisuke, you are Sharp's sinner!"

Originally, he wanted to survive this period of time before dealing with Hara Heisuke, Xiang Zhengyi, who had now learned that there was no hope, so he was completely angry.

"President, I am really sorry for the losses I have caused to Sharp! But I still want to say that it is a pity that the LCD strategy has been ruined, but this is not worth mentioning compared to Sharp's own fate."

Harahisuke was stalking his neck. His eyes were bright and he said passionately: "Sharp is now at a critical moment. TFT-LCD LCD panels that do not use IPS screens and high-voltage drive IC technology will soon be eliminated by the market. But we have two 4.5 generation LCD production lines in our hands. A 5 generation production line under construction has a total investment of nearly US$2.5 billion. In order to maintain these three projects, the maintenance costs alone are as high as US$3 million per month."

He swallowed, looked at the two of them sincerely, and emphasized: "This has not yet been considered the follow-up investment of the fifth generation line! If the 5th generation line is being built, the financial statements of this year will probably be very ugly. There are two months to be the annual report of listed companies. If it is the current data, it is not surprising that Sharp's stock price has fallen by one or two hundred yen..."

When Hara Heisuke said this, he suddenly stopped, and only two heavy breathing sounds were left in the entire office.

Xiang Zhengyi and Ruyue Qunzhen looked at him with a blushing face, as if they were going to come up and tear him apart with their hands.

"President, president, has lost its core competitiveness and the stock price has fallen by more than 50%. What will Sharp face next? I don't need to say anything?"

"Sharp's life and death are at this moment. I have a suggestion, even for the sake of 15,000 Sharp employees, please ask the two leaders to think carefully!"

"Tell me."

He glanced at Zhengyi and Ruyuequn's truth and nodded heavily.

"Agree with the Chinese people's request, sell three LCD panel production lines and exit the LCD panel market."

Hara Heisuke looked around and said seriously: "This is the only opportunity for Sharp to survive. The sale of three production lines can earn $2 billion in revenue, and it also avoids confronting the Chinese people. In this way, the pressure on Sharp's recent decline in stock price will no longer exist."

"As of $2 billion in cash inflows, Sharp's annual report this year will be very good at least. To be honest, the major shareholders can take this opportunity to withdraw funds. And if they are willing to advance and retreat with Sharp, they can also develop new technologies and profit growth points based on this money."

"There is a saying in Go that 'self-tightening' is to give your big dragon to your opponent to eat it. This will make room for a chance to cheer up again! President, President! Please make a decision!"

The sale of three production lines can only be made by Xiang Zhengyi, who is the president of the board of directors. Not only Hara Heisuke, but also Ruyue Qunma also looked at him together.

Xiang Zhengyi sat in the chair with his eyes blank and helpless. Who is he? How could the President of the Sharp Council, who is the 205th world, fall to this point?

How could the powerful Sharp Empire face such a life-and-death choice?

This made him how to deal with Sharp's seniors...

Thinking of this, he seemed to have been drained of every force in his body. He sat in the chair and breathed a deep breath.

He closed his eyes, hoping that this moment was just a nightmare, but unfortunately, this nightmare didn't mean to wake up anyway. He just helped a 16-year-old girl yesterday, and ate toast this morning. His daughter and son-in-law were still in a cold war because of the color of the curtains. When he went out to dress, he was still considering whether to drink a glass of romance and romance at noon...

Why do I have to face such a choice in just a few hours? Is this too sudden?

But no matter what, he has to make a decision. There is no best choice, only not the worst choice.

"Then, sell the LCD production line to the Chinese—"

After saying this, Xiang Zhengyi stood up and turned around and left his office lonely. No one would care about where the old man was going. Because he made such a decision, he was destined not to sit back as the chairman again.

Sharp has many shareholders, and the chairman does not have absolute controlling rights. Taking this position is also a matter of the decision made by the board of directors. If such business mistakes occur, someone will inevitably shoulder the responsibility. Xiang Zhengyi and Ruyue Qunzhen, no one can escape.

"Okay, you go back first." Ru Yue Qunzhen, who was also like a walking corpse who had lost her soul, waved her hand and drove Yuan Pingju out. Although she was destined to not be in the position of president for a long time, he was still ready to stand in the last shift and make a decision to sell the production line to Zhengyi, and he still needs to deal with the specific sale matters in person.

But what he couldn't understand was when the Chinese actually had such capital and could force Sharp into such a dilemma?

It’s not that he doesn’t understand, the world is changing fast!

"Hey, then I'll say goodbye." Hara Heisuke bowed his head slightly and turned around and left the president's office.

Ruyue Qunzhen stood up and looked at the spacious office where he was the only one left, and a sad feeling climbed up to her heart. He shook his head gently, then gently opened the thick wooden door of the office, and finally closed the door gently. He looked cautious, as if he was afraid that a slight noise would disturb something.

In early November, the sea breeze on the seaside of Amsterdam, Netherlands was already a little bit cold. The sea breeze in the North Sea brought the coldness of the Arctic. The sea in winter was no longer as gentle and enthusiastic as in summer, but was full of violent and unyielding momentum.

The surging waves hit Amsterdam's seawall, rolling up layers of waves like thousands of snow. Suddenly, a rough and majestic music of "unbreakable alliance" sounded on the coast.

"Mr. Zhou's mobile phone is so unique. Can the ringtones even play songs?" Li Baogui, President Huaxing, was wearing a ball. He heard the sound of Zhou Shuo, and looked at him curiously taking out a mobile phone that had not been sold on the market from his pocket.

"Haha, I'll just try something fresh." Zhou Shuo pressed the call button, and the loud singing stopped suddenly. Li Baogui slowed down tacitly, allowing him to walk a few steps further and answer the call.

Zhou Shuo in the distance seemed to have encountered something very happy. From the words that came from the wind, he could hear his excited laughter.

Before he answered the phone, Zhou Shuo finished the call and waited for Li Baogui to catch up.

"Mr. Zhou has any money-making business? Don't forget me if you have a good opportunity!" Li Baogui narrowed his eyes and quipped with a smile.
