Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 625 Mr. Fang, Don't Do This

Beijing.

Panasonic's team has been waiting here for two days.

As the number one player in the plasma camp, Makoto Miyamoto, the senior vice president who led the team to China this time, adhered to the company's mainstream opinion and had reservations about this negotiation.

Although the LCD camp seems to have the upper hand in the two technical routes of flat-panel TVs, Panasonic still insists that technology comes first. The performance of plasma screens is better than that of LCDs, and this is the biggest factor that determines success .

Persist in investing, be patient, and cultivate the market.

Panasonic is ready for long-term competition with the LCD camp.

Makoto Miyamoto, as a high-level executive, has attended many meetings together. He himself is a loyal supporter of "technology first".

However, the strength of liquid crystal and plasma has not been unaffected, coupled with the personal relationship of Kobayashi Yotaro lobbying from it, Panasonic made the decision to come to China to have a look.

——It can be discussed, pay attention to the confidentiality of technology, and don't let the Chinese people take advantage of it.

This is the instruction Miyamoto received at the last meeting before Makoto came.

He thought that his family would be warmly received when they came to Huaxia, but he never expected to wait in the capital for two days.

In the past two days, Makoto Miyamoto saw more clearly the energy of the Chinese TV manufacturer's industrial alliance and Mr. Fang who made Panasonic come to China.

Makoto Miyamoto didn't know if using the Chinese idiom "Long-sleeved and good at dancing" was an appropriate description, but Mr. Fang encouraged a leader of the production line approval unit to appear every time he went, which had to be surprising. .

He commented on the people on the news page to his team's subordinates.

"It's not unreasonable to be the richest man in China."

Therefore, when faced with the richest man, Makoto Miyamoto expressed respect and persistence—insisting on the cooperation price between Panasonic and BOE, and insisting on putting Panasonic’s needs first.

Makoto Miyamoto's attitude is extremely certain.

This once made Fang Zhuo, BOE, and the TV alliance very puzzled. Your Panasonic plasma has fallen into a disadvantage. Why do you still have such a condescending attitude?

"Technology first, plasma is the best, and consumers will realize that."

In the second meeting, Makoto Miyamoto's repeated statements vaguely made Fang Zhuo feel that what he said was true, and he really believed that the situation could be reversed by virtue of technological advantages.

Aware of this, the angle of entry changed from a win-win cooperation with each other to a challenge to plasma.

If you want to win, you really have to rack your brains and consider reasonable reasons. This is accusation... Although Fang Zhuo is not very good at it, he is willing to do it reluctantly.

"The S-LCD joint venture between Samsung and Sony has already been mass-produced, and the 7th-generation line jointly owned by LG and Philips is also under construction. In addition, your Japanese companies such as Sharp and Hitachi have to build production lines. Just like this, how do you pass Panasonic? Scale up to reduce costs?"

Makoto Miyamoto poked his neck: "When the market..."

Fang Zhuo interrupted: "What kind of market is the market, what kind of market is Panasonic promoting, the cost cannot be lowered, and the market is occupied, then Samsung and Sharp have begun to give us a promise to supply LCDs at low prices!"

Makoto Miyamoto didn't believe it. As far as he knew, Samsung and the others were engaged in a large-scale LCD alliance to make profits.

Fang Zhuo directly asked by name: "Skyworth, Mr. Zhao, do you think so? Did Sharp contact you!"

Just as Zhao Fenghui was about to nod his head, he suddenly hesitated, should he get in touch?

Ni Runfeng was old and strong, so he answered the conversation naturally: "That's right, Changhong has also received it."

Fang Zhuo called his name again: "TCL, Mr. Li, did the LCD in France also talk to you?"

Li Dongsheng nodded. This is the way TCL found in the previous acquisition of the French Thomson Company, and it is also the source of confidence for him to introduce a joint venture production line.

Fang Zhuo looked at Haier's vice president Zhou Yunjie again: "Mr. Zhou, where is Haier?"

Zhou Yunjie understood Mr. Fang's intentions, and replied in a deep voice: "Indeed, the price is already very attractive. If there is no hope for plasma, we will not develop products in this direction at all."

Seeing that even Haier is doing the same thing, Zhao Fenghui from Skyworth did not wait for Mr. Fang to ask others, but made up for the sense of presence that he had not used just now: "Yes, Samsung's quotation for us has been reduced by 15%, and the manufacturers of Sharp and Formosa are also contacting Skyworth. It seems that there is even talk of a range of 15%!"

Ok?Are there any specific price reductions?
Fang Zhuo, Ni Runfeng, Li Dongsheng, Zhou Yunjie and others all looked at Zhao Fenghui.

Zhao Fenghui continued to talk about the contact between Skyworth and LCD Alliance in everyone's sight, with detailed data and vivid details.

Fang Zhuo sneered and said to Makoto Miyamoto with a sneer, "Do you think Samsung and the others are here to stop us this time?"

"Do you think the target of the LCD Alliance is the same kind of manufacturers in China?"

"Do you think that Panasonic can still take advantage of our competition with Samsung?"

"The Liquid Crystal Alliance secretly lays down the market at a low price, expands the scale, and reduces costs. After doing this, you Panasonic will be the first to die!"

Makoto Miyamoto swallowed, unable to answer for a while.

"Panasonic's self-confidence really surprised me and made me laugh."

Fang Zhuo threw the document in his hand on the table and launched a specific attack: "Panasonic's short-sightedness is exactly the same as Sony's view on music players!"

"Panasonic's blind arrogance is very similar to Motorola who wants to put satellites in the sky!"

Mr. Fang spoke very fast and mixed idioms. His forehead was sweating when he was translating. Suddenly, he heard another sentence that probably didn't need to be translated.

"Panasonic, die, die, soon!"

Seeing Mr. Fang getting more and more excited, Panasonic's vice president's face turned from red to white and then black, and everyone who hadn't listened to it was reluctant to dissuade him.

"Boss Fang, don't do this, don't do this."

"Mr. Fang, Japanese friends may understand your sentence, drink tea, drink tea, calm down, calm down."

"Panasonic is dead, it's not worth getting angry."

The atmosphere in the conference room became heated.

It took a long time before both sides calmed down.

Makoto Miyamoto was scolded for a while, and he neither left the field nor was angry, but his attitude became docile.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Wang, all CEOs, I believe that plasma technology has the advantages of impressing you. This is a market worthy of our joint development and maintenance."

"As for today's meeting, I will seriously consider it and give serious feedback to the company."

After Fang Zhuo listened to the translation, he said: "In two days, we will discuss the industry situation with the leaders of the Development and Reform W. Whether you come or not, you can decide for yourself."

Makoto Miyamoto nodded seriously after listening to the translator.

"Leading and not going, playing backwards, Ma De, eating shit can't keep up with hot ones."

Fang Zhuo muttered, and got up to end the second meeting.

The translator asked anxiously: "Mr. Fang, can this sentence be translated?"

Fang Zhuo squinted: "What do you think?"

The translator quickly turned over.

Fang Zhuo: "..."

Makoto Miyamoto stood up with the Panasonic team and bowed deeply together to apologize.
