Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 626
The Japanese bow is very standard, and it seems very sincere.

But even Fang Zhuo is not sure whether Panasonic's attitude will loosen.

Therefore, this time, the symposium involving direct management leaders, panel manufacturers, and TV manufacturers was made very high-level, and the deputies who had appeared in Shencheng, Lin'an, and Luzhou before became full-time positions.

After the discussion meeting that shocked Makoto Miyamoto, another meeting with high media standards was arranged.

In addition to the increased attitude, the thing that moved Makoto Miyamoto the most was that the development of plasma technology and the construction of a plasma PDP panel production line were discussed a lot at the meeting reported by the media, while the leaders of Huaxia didn't mention anything about LCD.

Even when talking about the industrial layout, the leaders used "plasma and other technologies" to describe it.

Makoto Miyamoto believes that this reflects a very strong signal that the TV alliance headed by Mr. Fang has strong administrative lobbying capabilities, which is likely to have a miraculous effect in reversing the competitive situation in China.

At the end of the meeting, the senior vice president of Panasonic communicated with the Japanese headquarters.

As a representative of the technical school and as the person in charge of negotiating in China, Makoto Miyamoto's judgment is important and trustworthy for Panasonic.

The actions of the LCD Alliance, the signal released by the Huaxia Administration, the sincerity of the TV Alliance... There are many reports.

Makoto Miyamoto participated in a conference call.

On the other end, the senior management of the Japanese headquarters asked a question after some discussion.

"Since they say that Samsung and Sharp are in secret contact and the purchase price is very favorable, why bother to negotiate cooperation with us? Moreover, it is still a large-scale technology shift? This has a lot of losses..."

Makoto Miyamoto thinks this way: "Samsung and their LCD alliance are only willing to let go of screen purchases at low prices, and are unwilling to carry out substantive cooperation on upstream production lines."

"Samsung and Sharp once manipulated the purchase price, which caused crisis and distrust in China's TV alliance. This is another extremely fatal reason."

"They gave up the profits released by the LCD Alliance, not because they don't want to make money, but because they want to make more."

The Tokyo side exchanged views for a while, adopted the field observation from the senior vice president, and asked the second question: "Are Samsung, Sharp, and LG really planning to build production lines in China?"

This involves the issue of the speed of strategic development.

If the scale of the LCD panel production line increases rapidly, Panasonic's plasma production line will also need to increase investment.

Makoto Miyamoto was not sure about the answer to the question. This time Samsung and the others carried a very strong signal of chasing and intercepting, and whether it was true or false, except for a very small number of parties involved, I am afraid that they would not know.

"Samsung, Sharp, LG, I doubt their position. However, I heard that manufacturers from Huaxia Baodao will also come to the mainland. From this point of view, perhaps there is a certain plan for the construction of the LCD Alliance. After all, they are a people of the country."

Makoto Miyamoto adheres to the "one China" principle.

His answer still tends to be that the LCD Alliance has a plan to expand its scale, which may lead to the comeback of Samsung, LG and other brands in the Chinese market.

In the era of CRT TVs, China's domestic TVs repelled foreign brands by virtue of price wars.

Since Huaxia itself has the production capacity of CRT and its price is always competitive, foreign brands in the past few years did not focus on Huaxia.

However, the era of flat-panel TVs is different, and China's TV market is bound to be impacted again. The establishment of the production line is to reduce costs on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will definitely have a positive impact on market competition.

Panasonic's Tokyo headquarters asked another question: "What kind of person is Fang Zhuo who formed the China TV Alliance this time? Will he still have continuous influence?"

Makoto Miyamoto has been thinking about issues such as technology, market, LCD opponents, and production line construction since the meeting when he bowed that day until today. When he was suddenly asked about a specific person, he was quite caught off guard.

He thought and thought, and described: "Fang Zhuo is very optimistic about Plasma, and has a strong leadership, but..."

The Tokyo headquarters asked vigilantly: "Just what?"

"It's just a bit of a curse." Miyamoto said truthfully.

Tokyo headquarters: "?"

Makoto Miyamoto continued: "When there is a disagreement, it is very disagreeable. It is not like other entrepreneurs in Huaxia. As far as our meeting is concerned, the Chinese entrepreneurs I have come into contact with will remain polite even if they are unhappy. He is different."

He added: "Maybe it's just his intense passion for his work."

Makoto Miyamoto understood that.

After a brief discussion at the Tokyo headquarters, they also mentioned Fang Zhuo's status as a foreign director of Sony, and then they continued to ask the senior vice president's judgment on the situation.

This conference call went on for a long time.

In the end, the Panasonic headquarters tended to adopt the suggestion from the senior vice president, Makoto Miyamoto, to carry out joint venture construction conditionally, first to bring China's TV alliance into its own camp, otherwise, it would be an unfavorable situation.

Makoto Miyamoto is quite happy with this development.

As a person on the front line, he could feel the difference between the LCD Alliance and the written report, which seemed to have become more competitive and oppressive, or, they have always been like this, but there was a problem with Panasonic's judgment of the opponent.

Fortunately, now there is a chance to increase the chips.

The senior vice president quickly notified Fang Zhuo of the news and was willing to start formal negotiations on the cooperation of plasma production lines and technologies.

Fang Zhuo was very happy. After confirming the negotiation time, he shook hands with Makoto Miyamoto and said affectionately, "This is one small step for Panasonic, but one giant leap for Plasma."

Makoto Miyamoto was encouraged.

……

Just when Panasonic started cooperation negotiations, LCD manufacturers also came to the capital.

South Korea's Samsung, LG, Japan's Sharp, Formosa's Chi Mei Electronics.

Just like the [-] or [-] meetings held to manipulate prices in the past few years, the four LCD manufacturers gathered again to discuss the current situation.

The main reason for the four companies to come to the capital was a business meeting reported by the media. There was not a single word "LCD" in that meeting, which made LG, Sharp, and Chi Mei quite worried.

As previously judged by Samsung, no one is touched by the joint actions of Chinese TV manufacturers. The relationship between supply and demand is here, after all, it needs to be discussed.

Now, however, there are strong signals coming from the executive level, which is a bit unsettling.

Moreover, compared to ignoring "liquid crystal", "plasma" is frequently mentioned.

The four manufacturers are not afraid that LCD products will disappear from mainland China, but they are worried that Panasonic will really take advantage of the loopholes and share the meat in the market.

"Smoke bombs, definitely smoke bombs."

Li Jitai maintained his own judgment: "As the two major technical routes in the current market, it is timid to deliberately not mention them. This must be the administrative factor promoted by Fang Zhuo, and it is used to mislead our judgment."

"Fang Zhuo has so much energy?" LG's vice president questioned.

Li Jitai nodded: "He has, don't doubt him, deal with it coldly, wait for their active communication, it's time to test our patience."

Before he could continue, almost everyone in the meeting room received the notification immediately.

BOE and TV Alliance are expected to reach a strategic cooperation with Panasonic in 7 days.

This is news from Japan. The leaders of Panasonic will attend the signing meeting in Huaxia a week later.

"Seven days, seven days, be patient, this is their last struggle."

Lee Ki Tae didn't wait for others to question him, he first set the tone of the new news.

what is this?
It's just Mr. Fang's forced order.

This alone will not work, and this alone will not be able to shake Samsung's determination.

Mr. Fang, use whatever tricks you have.

I believe that there is not much time left for the competing TV alliances.

It's okay not to have this time, since the release date is also a counterproductive pressure.

Li Jitai was very calm, without the slightest wavering.
