Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Samsung does still have a strong foundation. The memory war dragged down Samsung Electronics' profits last year. Now it can still free up funds to fight the price war with Dafeng Group. The news from Taiwan Province also shows that the companies here Likely to be swallowed by Samsung.

But no matter how rich Samsung is, it is almost enough for this sake, so Meng Qian arranged for Sun Xiaojing to recruit people in Taiwan Province on the one hand, and arranged for Shao Yibo and Xiao Boshi to go to Nihong Country to buy people on the other hand.

History has not changed. The consortium of Neon Nation has been crazily buying Wall Street since October, and it feels like it has picked up a lot of bargains. The momentum is the same as that of aunts going to the supermarket to grab eggs.

As a result, after October, not only did the financial crisis show no signs of improvement, but I always thought it was time to end, not knowing that there were still 18 floors underground.

The news of Iceland's bankruptcy has made countries more cautious, and things are more serious than everyone imagined.

This makes many companies start to think about the next development issue. At this time, there are dozens of companies in Neon State that have LCD screen related technologies and even LCD screen production lines. In order to survive this financial crisis smoothly, among these companies Many of them have reorganized the industries in hand, integrated their own industries, and sold industries such as LCD screens.

Shao Yibo and Xiao Bozhi came to Neon Country this time, and their main targets were these companies. The two bought their LCDs from 11 companies including Neon Country Taiyang Nippon Sour, Seiwa Optics, Hamamatsu Optoelectronics, Tokyo Precision, and Dongdian Electronics. The screen business unit or the LCD screen production line cost up to 29 billion soft sister coins.

In fact, Nikon also has an LCD screen production line, which was also bought by Dafeng Group soon after.

The deepest impression left by Dafeng Group on the public this year is not its performance in the Olympics, or its Hongmeng mobile phone, but its trenches. Even the entertainment media began to speculate how much money Dafeng Group has.

Just when everyone was confused, Meng Qian mobilized another 50 billion soft sister coins to the company's account, and the senior executives of the Dafeng Group were numb. Although they didn't know where the money came from, Meng Qian could always get the money anyway. .

At the end of 2008, the structure of the LCD screen market has undergone significant changes. The power of the Chinese mainland has increased rapidly, the fortunes of the Koryo country are unpredictable, the internal struggles of the Neon country have intensified, and the Taiwan province has basically been eliminated and completely defeated. Just a matter of time.

In this chaotic situation, many people's eyes will involuntarily fall on Sharp. How is this company that is conquering the only 10th generation line in the world now?

The current situation of Sharp is that it is going crazy. From September to November, the entire consortium made up for the gap of nearly 10 billion soft sister coins for Sharp, and it was miraculously discovered that the gap behind was even bigger.

A consortium can save a company, and the country can save a company, but the premise is that you have to have a bottom, and a bottomless pit will be disgusting sooner or later.

Especially, when everyone finds out that maybe someone else can replace you.

In this melee of LCD screens, Dafeng Group quickly expanded its territory. At the same time, Sony also expanded its own market. Coupled with Dafeng Group's profit concessions on other spare parts, Sony lowered prices to this point, but the overall situation remained unchanged. Forget it, basically no loss.

Compared with Sharp, Sony at this time is simply a good boy who is obedient, sensible and promising. Instead of throwing tens of billions on Sharp, maybe it would be more meaningful to throw it on Sony?

Ever since, at this time, Sony has assumed an attitude of wanting to carry the banner of LCD screens in the neon country.

This is definitely worse for Sharp.

At the beginning of December, history changed, and Sharp suddenly announced that Mikio Katayama had resigned, and former president Katsuhiko Machida returned. It is said that he resigned, but everyone knows that Mikio Katayama was fired.

Machida Katsuhiko is the savior who brought Sharp back from the suppression of Samsung. Sharp's king-level LCD TV AQUOS is also from his hands, and it is very prestigious in Sharp.

After Machida Katsuhiko came back, he immediately began to analyze the situation. Naturally, Sharp’s biggest problem now is that Mikio Katayama’s strides are too big. It’s fine to build the 10th generation line, but at the same time, two 8th generation lines are being prepared. , That's fine, actually insisting on refusing to cut production when the global supply plummets, the pressure of line construction + inventory pressure has already crushed Sharp.

Looking at the outside world, Machida Katsuhiko has always regarded Samsung as a deadly enemy. This is also the reason why Machida Katsuhiko Katayama Mikio's infighting broke out when Sharp was dying.

So Machida Katsuhiko will never join Samsung, and Machida Katsuhiko's best connections are in Taiwan Province, but the problem is that the situation in Taiwan Province is not very good, so Machida Katsuhiko has to pay attention to Dafeng Group.

"The matter of defrauding consumers before was the problem of Mitsuo Katayama. Dafeng Group and Sony are in a deep alliance and this is the situation in China now." After analyzing it, Machida Katsuhiko realized that there is only one way left for Sharp.

A few days after the reunification, Machida Katsuhiko invited Meng Qian to Sharp to visit the construction process of the Judai Line in the morning.

Facing Meng Qian, Machida Katsuhiko kept his posture very low, which made it difficult for Meng Qian to express his temper even if he wanted to lose his temper.

As soon as I visited the Judai Line, I found out what it meant. After the visit, Katsuhiko Machida said what he should say, "Recently, the market has become more and more competitive. During this process, we at Sharp have gradually realized Therefore, cooperation has become more and more important.

The reason for returning to Sharp this time is because I want to change Sharp's current strategy and choose a more correct direction.

I wonder if Mr. Meng has any idea of ​​cooperating with Sharp? "

The two looked at each other, "How does Machida-san want to cooperate?"

"The current market needs four things: capital, market, talent, and technology. I have analyzed the current situation. If we add Sony and the three companies can cooperate, they can take care of these four directions at the same time."

"Where is the bottom line of Sharp's cooperation?"

"Since we want to cooperate, sincerity is the most important thing. The bottom line of our cooperation is mutual benefit."

Meng Qian continued to speak bluntly, "Is Sharp willing to give the core technology?"

"Of course, this is the minimum sincerity."

I can feel that Machida Katsuhiko did come here with sincerity, but unfortunately, this sincerity came a bit late, Meng Qian no longer wants to help Sharp, and now cooperates with Sharp, although it is true that he can get some of Sharp's technology, but the premise is The Dafeng Group has to save Sharp, invest money in him, and give him a market, but when he thinks about how Sharp has cheated the development of China's LCD screens back then, and how Sharp has played China's consumers like fools time and time again, Meng Qian had already endured for the sake of the overall situation before, and now that it's all over, he has no mood to forbear again.

"Then sell the technology to us." Meng Qian directly put forward the most unreasonable request. If someone gives the technology in the cooperation, what Meng Qian wants is to buy out the technology directly. The former Sharpe can be reborn in the cooperation, and the latter Sharpe even Selling the technology and getting the money, what is the point of having money for Sharp without technology.

Machida Katsuhiko was really a little upset, "Mr. Meng, what do you mean?"

"Mr. Machida, I will not give a chance to people or companies who have cheated on me twice. This is my bottom line. If it is not because of the respect for Mr. Machida, I would not come here today, including the one I am giving now. Suggestion, also out of respect for Mr. Machida, but for Mr. Katayama, I don’t even bother to say these words. Sharp is indeed ahead in technology, but by how much?

Compared with Sony, compared with Panasonic, compared with Samsung, is there any absolute advantage? not at all. The drag on Sharp by the 10th generation line is comprehensive. If Mr. Machida still thinks that Sharp has a lot of technical advantages, he may be really wrong.

Let's talk about the 10th generation line itself. Even if Sharp really builds the world's first 10th generation line, what can the 10th generation line really bring to Sharp? The size of the glass substrate becomes larger, the probability of technical flaws such as large-scale film formation evaporation, the difficulty of technical control such as the stability of the equipment working in a large-size orientation, and the maintenance cost of the equipment are all foreseeable problems for the tenth generation line. .

Moreover, the value of the 10th generation line is reflected in LCD screens larger than 60 inches. When does Mr. Machida think that the demand for LCD screens larger than 60 inches may explode? At least in my opinion, ten years may not necessarily wait.

Now that I think about it, the ten generation line was a complete mistake. So if Sharp wants to rely on his own technology in exchange for Sharp's rebirth, it may not be so simple. "

Machida Katsuhiko tried his best to suppress his emotions, "But at least our technology is still attractive to Dafeng Group, right? Isn't the technology that Dafeng Group has always been most concerned about?"

"Mr. Machida, I don't want to waste everyone's time, so I will directly point out that Sharp's current technological advantages may not be favored by Samsung and Sony, but it is indeed useful for us Dafeng Group, but we and Sony It is absolutely impossible for Sharp to exchange this bit of technology for our in-depth cooperation.

However, I have a general understanding of Sharp's situation. The huge gap has caused a crisis of confidence in Sharp in China. Perhaps the best candidate company that can help Sharp in the international market is Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.? However, I still know Mr. Guo better. If Sharp wants to sell Hon Hai Precision, it must hand over the position of Sharp’s first shareholder, and what Hon Hai Precision can give to Sharp is the capital in exchange for equity. .

If Sharp is willing to sell the technology to Dafeng Group, I can promise that all technologies will be authorized to Sharp for life and the patent base price will be set. Sharp can use the capital exchanged for technology to accelerate the construction of consumer products and production lines. In the immediate difficulties, maybe Sharp can make another breakthrough in technology, and I am also looking forward to it. "

Machida Katsuhiko has already understood Meng Qian's attitude, although this is far from the outcome he expected, but during the financial crisis, companies that sell assets, equipment, technology, and team renewal are everywhere. I am very wronged, but where else can Sharp fill in the more than 10 billion holes.

Meng Qian is not in a hurry, let Machida Katsuhiko slowly figure it out, if he can really find the money, Meng Qian will also admit it.

Thanks for the rewards on the road to Bensi! Thank you for the quick reward!
