991. Kyocera Turns Earth into Gold
"And, Mr. Li, you can recognize this and plan to catch up from the most fundamental point, which makes me feel hopeful. Before going abroad, I also worked in our top electronics laboratory in China. To be honest, at that time, I used domestic capacitors, resistors, and Japanese products. The conclusion was that our products, with the same intensity of work, were stable and lifespan, but one-third of the others could not reach, which shows the gap. After so many years, there is still no sign of improvement. Instead, our own products have reached the verge of extinction. Today, I heard that Mr. Li, you plan to enter this industry. I was very excited. I happened to have a friend, who is also in Japan, and it just happened to be in this industry, so I rushed over overnight, like Mr. Li, you recommend me as a friend."
When Li Yifan heard Qian Dezhi say this, he immediately became interested.
A few months ago, when he was in Japan, he used Endo Talent to get a lot of technical materials such as manufacturing capacitors, resistors, and electrical appliances from the National Materials Research Institute of Japan.
And through the introduction of Endo Master, he found Nobuhiko Kobayashi and obtained a lot of equipment to make such things through Nobuhiko Kobayashi.
But although he is a time traveler and has an extraordinary vision, he is not a professional in this field after all.
If he had been a computer enthusiast for a while in the field of LCD displays, he still had some understanding of the development trend of LCD displays, and when it comes to capacitors, resistors, electrical appliances, and electronic spare parts, he would have been blind.
Originally, he was also worried about how to build the shelf of this factory, but after returning to China for investigation and understanding, he found that our country has almost been eroded by Japanese manufacturers in this field.
Because our domestic electronic spare parts are of poor quality, they have no position in the market. Moreover, Japanese products are durable, stable and have good prices. The most important thing is that they are not expensive, so many electronic product manufacturers are willing to choose Japanese products for use.
Therefore, there are not many factories like this in our country. Even if there are still some, they only produce the lowest-end products. They can barely maintain the volume, and what are the best talents they have?
If there is no one, don’t think about building a modern electronic technology company.
If he could still build a shelf based on his previous understanding, but when it comes to the field of electronic parts, he would be completely finished and he didn't know which angle to start from?
At this time, Qian Dezhi recommended him how could Li Yifan be unhappy in the talent field?
If it weren't for maintaining his image in front of Qian Dezhi, he would probably have wanted to jump up at this time and the wolf howled a few times.
Li Yifan forced himself to suppress his ecstasy and said to Qian Dezhi with a calm expression.
"Oh? I didn't expect that Mr. Qian, you have friends you know in this field? That's great. I have told you before that as long as you are a real talent, I have always been here to refuse. Don't worry, no conditions are a problem."
Li Yifan's statement made Qian Dezhi feel very proud, so he said to Li Yifan.
"Okay, then I'll just say it. My friend works in Kyocera, Japan, and his name is Ma Yunfei."
"Wait, what you are talking about is Kyocera, which claims to be able to turn soil into gold to sell?"
Li Yifan could no longer pretend, and the expression on his face had turned into ecstasy. Qian Dezhi did not expect that Li Yifan had also heard of Kyocera. When he saw the expression on Li Yifan's face at this time, he couldn't help but feel extremely proud of his friend.
When people talk about Japanese companies, the ones that immediately flash into their minds are probably Japanese car brands Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi. If you think of e-book products, you may immediately think of many well-known companies such as Panasonic, Sony, Nikon, Sanyo, Hitachi, Sharp, etc.
Indeed, compared with these famous companies, Kyocera is not at all ranked, and many people have never heard of this company.
But if anyone has been involved in the electronic and digital industry, I am afraid everyone will say that they have never heard of this company, because this company is the world's largest electronic spare parts sales company.
Moreover, in the field of microelectronics spare parts, this product has its own unique skills.
Like many Japanese companies, this company is also a frequent visitor to the Fortune 500 companies in the world, but the ranking is far from that. Companies like Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Sony, Panasonic, and Nikon are ranked high.
His ranking among the Fortune 500 companies in the world is only more than 200, but the capital return rate of this Japanese company is the highest among all Japanese companies. There are even a few years when the scenery is good, and it has far surpassed large chaebol companies like Toyota and Mitsubishi.
This shows how violent the business this company is in?
And what do they do? They just play with electronic spare parts.
At the earliest, this Japanese company relied on ceramics to stole technology from our country. Later, Japan's electronic technology field began to develop the world's electronic industry, and after the development of the world's electronics industry, the company also made a strategic transformation and began to produce electronic spare parts, that is, the most basic capacitors, resistors, and electrical appliances.
Why are they said to be a company that claims to turn soil into gold to sell?
It is because in the 1960s, people discovered that when various rare earths containing trace metal elements were added to the manufacturing process of electronic components such as capacitors, resistors, and electrical appliances, the stability and life of the electronic spare parts produced would be greatly improved.
So people began to use rare earths to make electronic spare parts, and the first to discover this was Kyocera, which started with a playful and slut.
Later, China became a major exporter of rare earths, and Japan became the largest importer of rare earths in the world. Among many Japanese companies, the company that imported the most rare earths was undoubtedly Kyocera.
By joining forces to reduce prices, they joined forces with the United States and Germany to suppress the prices of rare earths in the world. Then, after forcing China to export large quantities, after importing these rare earths, they added these rare earths to electronic spare parts, and turned around and sold them to Chinese people at a high price, earning money from Chinese people at both ends and consuming Chinese resources. Kyocera Company made a lot of money through such means.
A small capacitor weighs only a few grams, and the rare earth required is only a few micrograms of zero. When they imported rare earths from China, they were in units of tons.
Think about a ton of rare earths. They import only tens of thousands of dollars, but this ton of rare earth can produce at least ten or twenty tons of capacitors.
As for a capacitor, how much is the price of a capacitor of more than ten tons?
No wonder they are called companies that turn soil into gold to sell money, no wonder they become Japan's companies with the highest capital return rate, all of which comes from their technology.
When Li Yifan heard that the person Qian Dezhi wanted to introduce to him came to the Japanese company Kyocera, how could he remain calm?
"Tell me quickly, what is the origin of Jack Ma?"
"This Ma Yunfei is my junior and a top student from Jinghua University. After graduation, he went to the United States to study for a few years like me. However, when he finished his studies in the United States, he met a Japanese girl. Later, he married this Japanese girl and went to Japan. This girl happened to be the daughter of a director of Kyocera. Later, because of this relationship, he started working in Kyocera. But Mr. Li, you also know how exclusive these Japanese people are. Even if my junior has all the skills and high education, they are still looked down upon by them, thinking that he is just a guy who climbed up by nepotism. Later, when my junior was angry, he simply stopped sitting in the office and started to get off the workshop, but he was mixed with the grassroots workers. He was just like not fighting for steamed buns and fighting for breath, but he still disappointed him.
Yes, the discrimination against us is everywhere. Even if he works well at the grassroots level, the company's rumors and rumors have been constantly quarreling. Later, he returned to the top and continued to work in the office, but the people were ruined and his will became depressed. However, the years he was at the grassroots level were not in vain. It was because of the time he was at the grassroots level and with the grassroots workers that he learned all the skills of how Japanese people made high-quality products, capacitors, resistors, and electrical appliances. This was a loss and a loss! Today, Mr. Li, you happened to talk about it. You want to open an electronic spare parts manufacturing company, so I think this is an opportunity. If my junior continues to live in Kyocera, he will be ruined, but if you come to you, I think this is an opportunity for him."
"Absolutely, as long as he can come, don't worry, I will hand over the position of the company manager to him."
Li Yifan felt so excited that he was a little incoherent. He hadn't lost his composure in a long time.
