Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 620 Disagreement
"What are you thinking about?"

This night watching the game and negotiating with Stringer, Yu Hong acted as the driver from the arena back to the villa, and the assistant stayed in the car behind.

"I'm thinking about the Anliang Chamber of Commerce." Fang Zhuo answered Xiao Yu's question.

Yu Hong was surprised and said, "I thought you would think of domestic BOE, the TV Alliance or tonight's Rockets."

"It's almost the same, if it is useful to have a set of knives and axes, the matter will be much simpler." Fang Zhuo subconsciously took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Old Si still believes me, but it is true that this matter is not entirely up to him. "

Yu Hong raised her eyebrows: "He himself said that he has been in the United States for decades, how can you believe that?"

"Across the board, decades are decades, but he has been in the two companies, and he has less toss." Fang Zhuo disagrees, "However, we are more frank. Sony's LCD camp obviously has a consensus."

He thought for a while, and said more rigorously: "Maybe it's not a consensus, it's a tacit understanding. The technology upstream of the TV production chain is blocking the country. The last time the factory caught fire and raised the price was a bit of a bloody alliance."

"The domestic market demand can be seen by anyone as a sweet potato. These panel manufacturers are not only making devices, but also have their own TV brands. If technology is allowed to flow out, they are really capitalizing on the enemy."

Yu Hong answered: "However, there is still a big enemy of LCD, the plasma headed by Panasonic."

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly: "Yes, Plasma has fallen into a disadvantage now. If Panasonic and them are completely wiped out, it will be even more difficult to make technological breakthroughs, and there will be more factors to face. Just one price manipulation is enough."

Yu Hong silently agreed.

After a while, she said: "I heard that although Samsung is attacking BOE this time, it has actually started to lower prices for panel purchases."

"It's a very simple and rude behavior." Fang Zhuo smiled, "It's also very effective."

Yu Hong didn't comment, but asked a question that she had been thinking about in the arena: "Since we are going to use plasma to intimidate the LCD camp this time, is it possible to make falsehoods come true?"

"I have also considered this point, but the difficulty is still quite high." Fang Zhuo said slowly, "On the one hand, there are already more manufacturers in the LCD camp, and economies of scale can reduce costs. We will also come to China to do some joint ventures on the 5th generation line, our market growth can effectively help reduce costs.”

"On the other hand, plasma is suitable for large-scale production, but not suitable for small-scale production. There will be more industries that LCD can expand. From TV to computer monitor screen is the most basic, which is also a vigorous growth demand. .”

"Such technical characteristics determine that the industrial cost of plasma is not easy to reduce through scale."

"It takes time for the production line to form production capacity. Samsung bets on both sides, but basically it is a 5:1 investment. The production capacity of LCD can easily form a positive cycle with the market."

"Using plasma to frighten the LCD camp is okay, but it is very difficult for one TV manufacturer to get together in a real way. This time, the joint investment with BOE is already very reluctant."

Fang Zhuo said a lot of thinking, but he didn't express some uncertain conjectures.

According to the public information of the cooperation between Samsung and Sony, he suspects that the development of LCD production lines may not be step-by-step but leap-forward, which may cause the reduction or even loss of plasma's advantages in large-size products.

For example, a 55-inch plasma TV is big enough, but a 65-inch liquid crystal TV will be mass-produced directly. The display effect alone may not be as good as it is, but the cut is large, and this feature is used to please consumers.

"I'm worried about a problem now." Yu Hong maintained the speed of the car, and looked at the boss from the corner of the eye, "Can the domestic TV alliance cooperate?"

Sure enough, she saw Mr. Fang's expression also became serious.

This is not an easy task.

Soon, Mr. Fang loosened his brows again and took a last puff of cigarette: "Try it, this is their own business. If they don't cooperate, I can't force them to cooperate. I can fly back and point at their noses." Scold?"

He shook his head: "It's unrealistic, I still want to watch the Rockets game."

Yu Hong was silent. The Rockets had already won a game. Maybe after the sweep, the boss would be free to go back and give a gift to the TV alliance?

Anyway, the Nuggets are not strong, but the boss has a strong character and temper.

"Oh yes, I also communicated with the leaders of Luzhou, asking for help, and also creating momentum." Fang Zhuo remembered something, "If necessary, I can still find Lin'an, but now Lin'an The leadership is not very familiar."

Yu Hong suggested without hesitation: "You can try to actually talk about the settlement of the production line. Just under the pressure of Samsung, the conditions can be changed to be very favorable, so that the enthusiasm of Lin'an will be more real."

Fang Zhuo thinks this suggestion is good, if it is all fake, it will be easy to see through.

……

BOE's second 5th-generation line project encountered Samsung's tit-for-tat. No matter Tianjin or Shencheng, it can't compare with Samsung's attractive 6th-generation line.

When Wang Dongsheng received the notice from Mr. Fang and sent a team to Luzhou for inspection, Samsung did not come this time, and another TV manufacturer, Sharp, came late. The vice president led a team to Luzhou to discuss investment in the panel production line.

The company is Japanese-funded, requires little capital investment, and is extremely pragmatic when talking about the 5th generation line of panels. It looks like it can be implemented at any time when the policy is in place.

This really made the leader of Luzhou a little tempted. The other party came all the way to invest, do you want to show a cold face?
Attracting investment is not such an approach. At the very least, at the very least, you need a legitimate reason to refuse.

The Luzhou side will talk first.

Following Samsung's tit-for-tat confrontation in Tianjin and Shencheng, Sharp also blatantly chased and intercepted them.

With the merger of South Korea and Japan, BOE is in an extremely difficult situation.

However, when Wang Dongsheng came to communicate with the manufacturers of the TV Alliance with Mr. Fang's proposal, he found it even more uncomfortable to find that everyone did not accept this approach, and gave different reasons.

"The product matter is not a joke. How to face consumers after speaking out to the outside world?"

"Is it true to engage in plasma or not to engage in plasma? Can this be decided in a few words?"

"Toss and toss, toss and toss, Samsung's purchase price is quite favorable now, and this is also their concession."

"Is this Mr. Wang's idea or Mr. Fang's? I don't quite understand why it is necessary to use plasma to pressurize the liquid crystal? What about plasma? I think Japanese people would rather fight among themselves than come here."

"How about letting Mr. Ni's Changhong pick up the plasma again? Mr. Ni, isn't your Changhong and Mr. Fang on good terms?"

Plasma is not welcomed by domestic manufacturers because of its technical patents. Some people contacted Panasonic before, but they were basically treated indifferently.

This time, it is necessary to collectively speak out and push the waves. Considering the different market shares of each other, and factors such as whether they will be coerced, the differences in the TV alliance are quite large.

I don't believe in the plasma led by Panasonic, and I have begun to waver in the price increase of LCD camps such as Samsung and Sharp.

Some people even felt that Mr. Fang's enthusiasm this time was mixed with some personal purposes.

I heard that ice cores in Luzhou are going to be mass-produced, and chip orders are needed there.
