Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 621 Knowing that you can't do it

The domestic TV industry is undercurrent surging.

As of the last day of April, BOE, which independently built the first 4th-generation TFT-LCD production line in China, has cooperated with the TV Alliance, which owns 5 well-known brands, and 6 cities for project negotiations.

Tianjin, Shencheng, Luzhou, Lin'an.

Coincidentally, after Tianjin and Shencheng ushered in Samsung and Luzhou ushered in Sharp, Lin'an, which BOE just contacted, also ushered in LG's team.

Samsung, Sharp, LG, these are the top three in the LCD camp.

For a while, despite the siege, Wang Dongsheng, the head of BOE, was flattered.

Ya also pays too much attention to it!

In addition to Japan and South Korea, which are competitors who control the upstream links of the production chain, considering Samsung's lower purchase price and the speed of contact between Sharp and LG, Wang Dongsheng can't help feeling that there may be some problems with internal partners.

The contact with Luzhou has been kept relatively secret, and Sharp came soon, and in the end, there was news of LG the next day in Lin'an... The TV alliance that was kneaded seems to be not very reliable.

Wang Dongsheng knew that each other was located upstream and downstream of the production chain, so they naturally had different considerations of interests, but he could understand some small actions.

If you are a TV manufacturer, the purchase cost of a TV’s core components will be reduced by 6%, which is already an important bargaining chip worthy of careful consideration.

If you think about it more, if other domestic manufacturers still purchase at the original price, then you will have more profit margins to squeeze the market with price. Since this year, LCD TVs have faintly shown signs of price wars.

Therefore, when Wang Dongsheng held another meeting with six TV manufacturers in Lin'an to discuss the situation, he felt quite powerless and hopeless at the meeting, and he thought "it's better to just go it alone".

Wang Dongsheng's heart was full of anger, and during the phone call with Mr. Fang, he had a rare confidant, especially when he had just arrived in Lin'an, and LG followed him. .

"Mr. Fang, what do you mean by this? I can understand the small actions of some manufacturers. In the final analysis, BOE is the supplier. If you don't use BOE, you can replace it with Samsung or Sharp. It's cheaper, so it's better."

"How can it be possible now?"

"Our 5th generation line is going to lose money, and I'm trying my best to raise money under pressure. I can understand and forgive some people's consideration of their own interests, but there is really no need to continue to cooperate."

However, Fang Zhuo on the phone gave a decisive answer.

"Understandable, never forgive, continue to cooperate."

"Mr. Wang, before the final disintegration, our main conflict is to make every effort to get the production line up. We must first firmly grasp this point, and other things can be brought to the same front in different ways."

Wang Dongsheng was silent for a moment, and made a request: "Mr. Fang, I think it is necessary for you to come back."

Fang Zhuo replied, "I still have things to do in Houston."

"There are big differences among domestic TV manufacturers. Mr. Ni seems, well, Mr. Ni can't let the TV alliance go in a direction that is conducive to cooperation." Wang Dongsheng said helplessly, "The priority of this matter should be higher, otherwise , Mr. Fang, when you come back when you have time, I'm afraid there will be no more TV alliances."

"I still have to watch the ball in Houston." Fang Zhuo said solemnly.

Wang Dongsheng: "Huh?"

"Just kidding, Sony's Stringer is still in my big villa. Yesterday, I met Japanese entrepreneur Yotaro Kobayashi. Maybe soon, you will not only see Samsung, LG, and Sharp in China, but also People from Panasonic have arrived." Fang Zhuo reported the latest work progress, "Wouldn't the TV Alliance collapse within a week? I believe that even if they make a little move, they won't just disperse like this."

Wang Dongsheng asked, "What if it disappears within a week?"

"Then I'll invest money for you." Fang Zhuo said straightforwardly.

Wang Dongsheng began to consider whether he should break up the TV alliance by himself.

"Tomorrow there will be a small team from Morningstar Semiconductor coming to Lin'an. The TV chip they designed works pretty well, so I'll also sell it this time," Fang Zhuo said again.

Wang Dongsheng hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything. As for the chip, some people joked about it at the meeting.

However, no matter what, after the phone call, Wang Dongsheng's confidence returned a lot. Not to mention the progress of the work, Mr. Fang's words about investing money sounded solid.

Fang is always the richest man, how can the richest man have no money to cover the bottom line?

……

Panasonic is coming to China.

The head of the plasma camp is coming to China to discuss cooperation matters.

This is what Samsung was first told about.

Lee Ki-tae, the president of Samsung Electronics who is in charge of the China business this time, was a little surprised, but soon understood the intentions of BOE and the China TV Manufacturers Alliance.

It's nothing more than threatening liquid crystal with plasma.

How is this possible?
Samsung's team in Shanghai held a small meeting.

After briefly describing the situation, Li Jitai commented: "This must be Fang Zhuo's handwriting, but it is too small to underestimate the confidence of our Samsung."

He smiled and asked Li Zairong, who was also in charge of some important negotiation work in China this time: "What do you think?"

Lee Jae-yong is the only son of Samsung's leader Lee Kun-hee, and he can be sure that he will be the future head of the group. The company he has experienced now is responsible for the panel subsidiary S-LCD, a joint venture between Samsung and Sony.

Therefore, Li Jitai also brought him by his side in the breakthrough of encircling Huaxia in the panel link this time, with the intention of cultivating a three-star prince.

"China's market is gradually taking shape, and this momentum is almost irreversible. How could it be possible to form competitive pressure by bringing in a Panasonic?" Li Zairong did not answer immediately, and gave his opinion after thinking for a while, "I It feels like it may not be that Fang Zhuo, it is impossible for him not to see this."

Lee Ki Tae laughed: "If he doesn't do that, what do you think he would do?"

Li Zairong talked eloquently: "I think the action he may take is to divide and disintegrate our LCD camps such as Samsung, Sharp, and LG, and use each other's different interests to find breakthroughs, which may produce results."

Li Jitai nodded first, then shook his head, and said slowly: "No, Fang Zhuo must be behind the scenes. Huaxia's expansion of the production line this time is that he led the establishment of a TV alliance. It's one of those things that you don't care about."

"Secondly, the division and disintegration you mentioned should also happen, but using plasma to threaten it seems to be a trend of strength and weakness that is almost impossible to reverse..."

He paused and commented: "But for a person like him, how could he have to be absolutely sure to make a move? Twenty or three percent of the success will allow him to try to shake our offense. Fang Zhuo is an extremely confident people."

"In other words, those who can achieve something are confident and even conceited."

"Doing what you know you can't do, that's your true nature."

Li Jitai smiled slightly: "Fang Zhuo is indeed a character not to be underestimated. I suffered a loss when I went to the United States to deal with the mobile phone operating system. This time, we will smash his true colors and tell him a truth."

"There's a reason why you can't."

Lee Ki Tae is also a confident person.

In particular, this time the LCD field is facing Chinese manufacturers that are two generations behind, and the LCD camp that is not only dispatched by Samsung is fighting tacitly.

　I went out to eat, and I will come back early tomorrow to change 6000.
