Back to 1990

Jiafeng Electronics' breakthrough in the Thai market has attracted the attention of a series of companies such as Motorola, Panasonic, and Sony. Apart from Toshiba's own deep mire, everyone has begun to stare at this small company.

At the same time, a copy of Jiafeng Electronics' various investment data in the past two years has been circulated on Wall Street. This data shows that Jiafeng Electronics Group invests as much as 17% in research and development each year.

The rapid development of R&D companies makes them a little bit unbelievable, especially in the R&D speed of high-end electronics. It has been a domestic first-class enterprise for three years and has core technology, which is enough to compete with Changhong Electronics, which has been researched and developed for many years.

This speed is too scary, especially the speed of financing. Lu Feng is like a patriarch. No matter what the means, he can always get money from various places and endlessly fill the beast of R&D. This The golden-swallowing beast is naturally as strong as a cow under frantic feeding.

Several technology companies in Silicon Valley in the United States have reported this matter, and many investment companies on Wall Street have also noticed the relevant situation.

Although Silicon Valley is now competing with Motorola, Panasonic, and Sony, Wall Street also has shares in these companies, cooperating in competition and competing in cooperation.

The two sides reached an agreement on this matter for the first time, and it must be stopped, especially in the direction of high-precision, absolutely not possible.

In the office, Lambert looked at the information in his hand, and the percentage in the research and development column was particularly dazzling. This number is not good for them.

The basic strategy of the United States after the 1990s was to abandon low-end manufacturing and focus on finance and high-precision. High-precision means industry barriers. As long as this point is stuck, it is equivalent to attacking snakes, while the financial industry is It is to make a low-price acquisition after stopping seven inches, or simply to destroy its finances.

The phone on the table rang, and Lambert picked up the phone and listened to the people inside. After a while, he said to the phone: "You can't let the development go on. Now the Schroder Investment Group has become the largest company in Jiafeng Electronics. Shareholders, we are definitely not facing China, but Europe!"

"right!"

"Okay! I think so."

Lambert listened to the words on the phone, and continued: "And I think Lu Feng is very capable. Thailand's encirclement and suppression has already seen it. Of course, there are reasons why there are people, but I still recommend giving him a fatal blow. , This is also a response to Schroder Financial Group."

"We have found that Jiafeng Electronics’ largest overseas export market is the African market except Thailand. Their low-end TV sets and home appliances are sold very well in the African market and have a relatively high market share in South Africa. We are ready to do it. ."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Lambert leaned back in his chair, feeling the sunshine outside, and muttered: "There is an old saying in China, it's called a praying man's arm as a car!"

Ten minutes later, Lambert called and asked Eisen to come over. Eisen knocked on the door and came in and asked, "What's your order."

"Tell Fusang's companies that we are planning to crack down on Jiafeng Electronics' African business, and they must also cooperate and publicly accuse Jiafeng Electronics of piracy, plagiarism, and patent infringement." Lambert is too familiar with these methods. Now, there are few companies that can resist this three-pronged axe.

"OK."

Eisen nodded and walked out, calling several Motorola companies as soon as possible. Toshiba was not among them. This company was kicked out of the partnership within a short period of time.

After an unsuccessful encirclement and suppression, the more dangerous strangulation has just begun.

After several days of meetings, Lu Feng had some understanding of the situation of the group’s subsidiaries this year. In September of this year, the net profit of the entire group reached 840 million. This year’s net profit should exceed 1 billion. no problem.

The high profit growth is due to the fact that the initial investment period has basically passed and the expenditures are relatively small. The monthly sales of Wipuda TVs have stabilized at around 500,000 units, and it is easy to break one million at the peak. Changhong and Weipu Da accounted for one-half of the sales of 12 million.

In terms of VCD, it dominates 60% of the market, and the pager market accounts for 30%. Since it started this year, the main target of the game is foreign capital. However, Jiaxun and Bird together have already occupied the market. More than 50% of the market is currently on par with foreign investment.

Coupled with the messy products of small home appliances, it is also slightly profitable. The overseas market has created a larger share. The African market is growing every month. This year, the profit has reached 200 million yuan. This capital really makes the entire senior management big. As shocked.

Lu Feng did not expect that the African market has become the largest export destination for Jiafeng Electronics. At the meeting, Lu Feng asked the overseas business department to continue to consolidate the product's market position in Africa, and gradually establish its own brand, and no longer make OEM products.

On September 25th, Lu Feng took Liucheng and his group on the plane to Sweden. The planned three-day itinerary was mainly to visit the engineers of the Ruixin Laboratory to show that the group headquarters had a great deal with them. Pay attention, and at the same time, Lu Feng also took a look at the situation there.

Since there is no direct flight in the country, I need to transfer to London. This trip took three days.

South Africa, the second largest economic country in Africa, is known as the country of rainbow. In the 1990s, the economy was booming. In the era when the domestic per capita GDP was only 800 US dollars, the current South African per capita GDP is as high as 3,500 US dollars. It is not a poor place, but the distribution of wealth is not even, and most of the poor are at the bottom.

After entering the port, Vipuda TV will be received by three local companies and will be affixed with three different brands, mainly in the South African market, and will begin to spread across Africa.

South Africa, in the office of the head of the external department, a forty-year-old black man walked eagerly towards the office and knocked on the door; "Flanders, there is an urgent matter for you to deal with."

"Please come in!" A man's low voice came from the room.

The man opened the door. The decoration in the office was pretty good. Behind the desk sat a black man in his sixties. He looked at the man who came in and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The foreign department of the United States called us and asked us to reject a Chinese company on the grounds that this company infringed the intellectual property rights of many countries!" The man put the folder in his hand on the table and said; "They asked us to cooperate, yes. All materials and products of the company will be sealed up and forwarded to them."

"NONONO!" Flanders shook his head repeatedly, and said solemnly: "If this company is really involved in the infringement of intellectual property rights in many countries, we will deal with it ourselves and we don't need them to intervene!"

"However, the other party said both inside and out, if we do not help, sanctions may be imposed in the future, including but not limited to support, opposition, veto, and even human rights investigations against us at important international conferences. We must pay attention to it. International image!"

Flanders stopped speaking. South Africa just experienced an earth-shaking event this year. Mandela stepped onto the stage and his international influence reached unprecedented levels.

The U.S. has never dealt with them very much, and now they call to ask for this, if it doesn't work out, it will create new sparks.

"This matter needs to be reported. After all, it involves the United States." Flanders stood up and said, "I'll go."

Although it only involves the supply of a foreign-funded enterprise, at the national level, this is also an opportunity to contact the United States. Many times historical opportunities are like this. Confrontation or reconciliation are two completely different results.

One day later, Flanders had a phone call with the leaders of the U.S. foreign department and formally communicated this matter. Regarding Jiafeng Electronics, they will take action, but they will not let the U.S. side. This compromise solution is considered soft. But I saved my face again.

Lu Feng has already arrived in Gothenburg, Sweden. This country is definitely one of the world's fat and oily people, with more land and fewer people, a developed economy, green lawns everywhere, and classic European-style pointed hat houses.

In addition to various high-end research institutes in China, the most well-known is the banking industry.

Ruixin Laboratory is located on the outskirts of Gothenburg, covering an area of ​​30 acres. There is a building with floor-to-ceiling windows on the flat land ~www.readwn.com~ There are no buildings within a thousand meters, and it looks a bit lonely.

It was autumn in the local area at the moment, and the autumn was high and fresh, and Lu Feng sat in the back row looking at the scenery in front of him with emotion, and said to Liucheng beside him: "A good place!"

"That's not it. This place is full of fat, richer than Americans. The key is that their lives are slower. Many R&D companies around the world set up research institutes here. In terms of microelectronics, Sweden is also considered the leader." Liucheng sighed. : "When can this happen in China!"

"There will be!" Lu Feng looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, which was almost the same as that of Suzhou twenty or thirty years later.

When I got to the place, I got off the bus, and there were a lot of people standing at the door, most of them Chinese, and a small group of blond and blue-eyed foreigners, looking very curiously at Lu Feng.

"Hello, Mr. Lu!" A man in his forties stepped forward and said politely: "I am the domestic head of our Ruixin Laboratory, my surname is Xia, everyone knows that you are coming, and I am very excited."

Excited?

Lu Feng really didn't notice. The foreigners looked like they were watching monkeys in a zoo. They stepped forward and shook hands one by one. They asked in disbelief, "Are you the boss of this company?"

Lu Feng told them in fluent English: "Yes, and I created this company by myself."

"Wow, wow! That's cool!"

Compared with the people in China, these foreign engineers appear to be more active. To put it ugly, they are unruly. Lu Feng walked in with them politely.

Seven or eight old professors introduced what the major laboratories were doing, and Lu Feng didn't quite understand them, but asked them when they expected results.

Several people shook their heads and said that they didn't know, they could only do it first, and these people were very casual. One guy hadn't been to work for five days and didn't know what he was doing.
