Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On April 23, the first 6th generation line of Hualong Optoelectronics Technology started construction in Shancheng. In fact, BOE had been talking with Shancheng about this 6th generation line before, but because of lack of money, BOE never started it, so it happened to be passed on directly. With Hualong Optoelectronics Technology, it saves a lot of negotiation and inspection cycles for the prerequisites. Now the domestic production line of LCD screens needs to be fast.

The investment in the production line in Shancheng is 15 billion Ruanmei coins, and Dafeng Group has undertaken 7 billion.

Throughout April, a series of high-profile actions by the Dafeng Group made everyone focus on the development of China's high-end LCD screens, so that many people did not notice that the Dafeng Group was secretly operating in Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Kunshan. Luoluo has invested in two fifth-generation lines and one 4.5-generation line.

For these 5 production lines, Dafeng Group has spent 16 billion in cash, and at the same time it has 10 billion in debt, a total of 26 billion. There is no way, the LCD screen is a money-burning thing, and this is still under the condition of subsidies from the state. , the only consolation may be that the bank's loan interest is very low.

But Dafeng Group's trip to burn money is not over yet, it is just a cooperation investment with domestic enterprises.

With the changes in China, the Koryo and Neon countries are also bustling. On April 25, Samsung officially publicized that the equipment installation of Samsung's 8th generation factory will be completed before October. Samsung's 8th generation line was once I cooperated with Sony in my first life. Because I didn’t cooperate with Sony in this life, it was postponed for half a year. According to the delay of half a year, the equipment installation should have been completed in January 2008. Now Samsung said that no matter what Get it done by October.

Sharp started to speculate on its own 10th generation line again, and Mikio Katayama gave the start time in front of the media before October.

LG has postponed the process of the 8th generation line again due to financial pressure, and Sony has also begun to be questioned whether it is going to fall further behind because it has not cooperated with Samsung.

Until April 30th, Sony finally released the news that Sony will join forces with Sharp and Dafeng Group to start building the 8th generation line in Neon Country. If converted into soft sister coins, the total investment will be 25 billion, of which Sony will contribute 15 billion and Sharp will contribute 5 billion, Dafeng Group invested 5 billion.

After the news was released, there were a lot of voices. For the Neon people, it must be happy to see their two companies forming an alliance, but when they saw the Dafeng Group, they felt somewhat incomprehensible. It's not that I don't like Dafeng Group, but in the field of LCD screens, everyone can't help but feel a little bit, why?

Although the Dafeng Group only invested 5 billion, but the Dafeng Group has never even started the 6th generation line. Is it a bit too much to directly participate in the Sony 8th generation line?

As for why, it is not because of the lack of money for these two goods.

For Sony, the in-depth alliance with Dafeng Group has both advantages and disadvantages. The LCD screen is a disadvantage, because Sony has fallen behind a bit when it was in the 7th generation line, and Samsung happened to be the big winner of the 7th generation line. The majority of the money for the 8th-generation line that the two cooperate with is from Samsung, so it will be a bit difficult for Sony to independently develop the 8th-generation line if it does not cooperate with Samsung. Fortunately, there is Sharp in China. Only Sharp, Sony must cooperate with Sharp.

But the problem is that Sharp doesn’t know where the money for the 10th-generation production line is. It’s an open secret that Sony has been poor for the past two years. At first, Howard considered Toshiba and Hitachi, but both companies need technology. This made Sony hesitate to cooperate with Sharp. Sharp's technology is better than its own. Of course, there is nothing wrong with technology interoperability.

At this time, it was Mitsuo Katayama who reminded Howard. Didn't Meng Qian say that he wanted to join Sharp's 10th generation line at the last meal just to make money? Go find Meng Qian, and let's see what Meng Qian said. real or fake.

So a month ago, Howard came to China to find Meng Qian, "Mr. Meng, our 8th generation line project will be approved soon."

"That's right, that's really great. Although it's still a bit behind Samsung, but at least we've caught up." Meng Qian pretended to be happy for Sony.

Seeing Meng Qian like this, Howard said more directly, "But we have encountered a little problem."

Meng Qian immediately expressed worry, "What's wrong?"

"Sharp's point here is to focus on technology, and it can only come up with 1 billion yuan."

Meng Qian laughed loudly, "I thought what was going on, it turned out that Mr. Howard came to me today for this matter, how much does it cost?"

"Almost, another 1 billion yuan is needed."

"Okay, I'll find a way to help Sony solve it here." Meng Qian was very straightforward, "Sony's matter is our Dafeng Group's matter, Mr. Howard, don't worry."

Meng Qian's appearance made Howard feel a little embarrassed, but he was embarrassed, and he still said some words, "Mr. Meng, don't rush to agree, this time is a bit special because of Sharp's participation. "

"Huh? How should I say it?"

"The 8th-generation line we built this time will rely on Sharp to a certain extent technically, so I mentioned to Mr. Katayama that I want to invite Dafeng Group to help, but what Sharp means is that Sony needs us to respect Sharp. technical privacy.” This is pure probing.

"That's it." Meng Qian started his performance. His expression changed from a little angry at the beginning to helplessness after thinking, to understanding of the matter, and finally considering Sony's situation. Thinking about it, he was quite worried for Sony. The acting book that Shen Jiawen brought at home came in handy now, "Hey, Mr. Katayama still doesn't want to treat me as a friend."

Howard made a helpless wry smile, three-point performance and seven-point performance.

Meng Qian immediately took the initiative to comfort and said, "Forget it, we have just started to build the 6th generation line, and the 8th generation line is not in a hurry for us. No matter what, we have to help Sony overcome this hurdle first."

"Mr. Meng's affection, Sony will remember." It's hard to judge how sincere Howard's words are.

Meng Qian immediately changed the topic, "However. Although Mr. Katayama may still be more wary of us, I hope that Mr. Howard can tell Mr. Katayama for me. Regardless of other things, at least in the face of Samsung and LG, I hope that the three of us will Businesses can truly become alliances."

"Mr. Meng's righteousness, I believe Mr. Katayama will see it."

"Well, by the way, here is something that is right in front of us. Recently, Samsung is going to build a 6th-generation line in Jinzhou. I want to invite Sony and Sharp to grab the project. Samsung has a lot of experience in Jinzhou. , so my idea is that we directly build a 7th generation line.

But what?" Meng Qian made a meaningful expression, "I don't need the technology of the 8th generation line, but I hope the technology of the 7th generation line."

Howard understood what Meng Qian meant and brought it to Sharp.

"The Dafeng Group can bring money and the Chinese market. These two points are indeed very attractive, but the strength of the Dafeng Group in the field of LCD screens and the Dafeng Group is a Chinese company after all. I don't really want to form an alliance." Mikio Katayama After hearing everything Howard said, he still didn't want to have a good relationship with the Gale Group.

"But I can feel that you have ideas about the Gale Group."

"Well, my idea is to cooperate without alliance."

Howard has always spoken directly, "Do you want to use Meng Qian?"

"To put it bluntly, Meng Qian is willing to give such great kindness now because he has a need, and we happen to have a need too. It's not really a use, but each takes what they need, but it's just what they need, so we can cooperate. As for the alliance, forget it."

"Then what do you think of the Jinzhou 7th generation line mentioned by Meng Qian?"

"I think we can squeeze out Samsung even if we use the 6th-generation line to compete, and we don't have to use the 7th-generation line."

Howard understood what Mikio Katayama meant, and immediately contacted Sony's shareholders after returning to the company, and gave an overview of everything that happened and put forward his own ideas.

"Howard, so you mean that we will take over Huaxia's 7th generation line project alone?"

"This project can help Sony better enter the Chinese market, and I have always believed that using the Chinese market is likely to be an opportunity for Sony to turn around. Katayama Mikio attaches great importance to the Chinese market but is affected by private emotions. Policy towards China, we should Be decisive."

"Will this matter affect our cooperation with Sharp?"

"Michio Katayama has a strong hatred and pride towards China and Koryo. We can take advantage of this. Coupled with our relationship with the Dafeng Group, things can be done logically. Sharp's side is at most a bit resentful. But at the end of the day, Sharp is our competitor."

In this way, on May 10, Dafeng Group teamed up with Sony to snatch Jinzhou's list from Samsung.

Three stars in Korea, Yin Zhonglong slapped the table angrily, "It's Sony again! This idiot! I heard that Sharp is also involved, okay, then I will take you all!"

Yin Zhonglong booked a flight ticket for the day to come to Taiwan Province, and met with Li Kunyao, Chairman of AU Optronics, Xu Wenlong, Chairman of Chimei Electronics, and Chen Duanxin, Director of Innolux. Yin Zhonglong's attitude is very straightforward, and he wants to cut prices to suppress.

If it were in the same situation as it was in the previous life, the enterprises in Taiwan Province would naturally be very happy. The problem is that the situation has changed now. They don't understand the attitude of the Neon Country, especially since Sony seems to be very close to the Dafeng Group.

Therefore, although Yin Zhonglong didn't speak clearly, the enterprises in Taiwan Province knew in their hearts that maybe this time they would not only suppress the mainland, but also have a stalemate with the Neon country.

For them, it is very happy to suppress the mainland, but it is not so happy to fight against the neon country.

So after Yin Zhonglong left, several people discussed together and decided to go to Hon Hai Group, the parent company of Foxconn, because Hon Hai Group has a deep friendship with Nihong Country, and it was Hong Hai who went to Sharp when it was about to fail. Hai Group helps.

After the Hon Hai Group traveled around the Neon Country, they had a spy with Sharp. Sharp bluntly stated that he did not have a strong alliance with the Dafeng Group, and expressed his willingness to cooperate deeply with the Taiwan Province.

The Taiwanese entrepreneurs conspired again and decided to maintain a certain relationship with Sharp while following Samsung. Their idea at this moment is to enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman.

The forces of all parties have begun to act, and they all have their own wishful thinking.

The LCD screen industry has ushered in the dust on the surface and the undercurrent surging underneath.
