Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 560 Teacher Lin, display panel technology (two in one)

In the villa, after lunch, Lin Baicheng and Matsuda Seiko went to the sofa in the lobby to sit down and rest.

Lin Baicheng embraced the girl beside him: "Holy Son, how are your life and work going?"

Seiko Matsuda leaned against Lin Baicheng: "I spend most of my time studying, learning to sing, dance, play the piano, etc. In terms of work, the company arranged for me to sing the opening song of a cartoon, a song for a TV series. Ending song."

Lin Baicheng asked: "Should the company arrange for you to debut?"

Seiko Matsuda nodded slightly: "Yes, the company arranged for me to participate in a singing contest, and I won No.2."

"Why is it No. 2?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing this: "I asked the company to train you well and give you resources. Does Koji Ida dare not take my words to heart?" Although there is no performance requirement for Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., he never thought of passing How much money does this company make, but if Ida Koji doesn't take his words to heart, then the company's president needs to be replaced.

"No, Makoto, President Ida takes good care of me. It has nothing to do with President Ida that I didn't get No.1."

Seiko Matsuda explained after hearing the words: "President Ida said that the No. 1 contestant in the competition is an artist signed by Sony Records. Her ranking has been determined by default. As long as there is no mistake in the live performance, then the champion can only be her."

In similar singing competitions, the champion is often determined by default, and even the rankings such as the top three are determined by default.

Of course, the TV station that held the competition didn't dare to go too far. If the singer sang badly during the live performance, then the ranking would definitely be transferred to someone else, and it was impossible for a certain person to affect the reputation of the TV station.

"So it is."

Lin Baicheng nodded when he heard the words: "Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. and Sony Records are really incomparable, and I really can't blame Koji Ida." To be honest, Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. is not only rich, but also has a lot of connections in the Japanese entertainment industry. Compared with many companies, Iwasaki Mineryu is not very concerned about this company, and he can't often trouble Iwasaki Mineryu with the company's affairs, so the company can only develop slowly.

Seiko Matsuda said aloud: "The president told me that the company will arrange for me to release a record next year, and I don't know if it will be successful then." There was some worry in his tone.

Although she is still young, Matsuda Seiko is not a novice who doesn't know anything now. During the period of studying at Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., she knows some rules in the circle, such as the poor sales of the first record For singers, it is very difficult to have the opportunity to release a second album, and even if there is, it will be at least many years later.

In other words, for a rookie singer, if the first record fails, it is basically difficult to develop later.It's not that there are singers who failed to release their first record and then gained popularity through singing slowly. It's just that there are too few such singers.

"Believe in yourself, Son, you will succeed."

Lin Baicheng patted Jiaren's shoulder in relief, and said with a smile: "Besides, it's okay even if you fail. I will let Koji Ida continue to give you opportunities. As long as you study hard and sing well, then there will be opportunities. Sooner or later It will work."

"Thank you, Makoto!"

Hearing Lin Baicheng say this, Seiko Matsuda was very happy, which was a huge guarantee for her.

"Thank me? Son, how do you want to thank me?"

Picking Seiko Matsuda's chin, Lin Baicheng lowered his head and said with a smirk: "I'll let Mr. Lin check your homework later. If you don't do well, Mr. Lin will punish you, spanking you."

"Sensei, do you want Seiko to change the school uniform now?"

Matsuda Seiko's cheeks were flushed, she knew the 'game' she was going to play later.

"Then what are you waiting for, go and change into your sailor suit."

Lin Baicheng's heart skipped a beat, and the image of Seiko Matsuda in a sailor suit with white top and blue bottom appeared in his mind.

Although two-dimensional girls are more attractive, two-dimensional is illusory after all, and three-dimensional girls are not bad, not to mention that Matsuda Seiko is just a high school student, and she is very suitable to wear a sailor suit.

"Ok!"

Matsuda Seiko responded and walked towards the stairs.

Seeing the figure of Seiko Matsuda going upstairs, Lin Baicheng got up and went out to talk to the bodyguards. If there is nothing very important, don't disturb him for the next two or three hours. If there is anything to do, wait until he comes down.

In the following time, the strict teacher Lin made the high school girl Matsuda Seiko very distressed, and she would face punishment from Teacher Lin for even a little mistake.Teacher Lin is not at all sympathetic and cherishes jade, and she still has very excessive demands. Facing the oppression from Teacher Lin, the high school girl Matsuda Seiko can only follow Teacher Lin's request aggrievedly, and try her best to please Teacher Lin.

In the afternoon, Matsuda Seiko, who was already exhausted, lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

Lin Baicheng left the villa refreshed, went to Xinghe Semiconductor Company, and continued to be busy with work.This time he left Xiangjiang for almost a month, and accumulated a lot of work that required his personal attention.

Lin Baicheng asked the manager of Galaxy Semiconductor, Noda Hao, to build a display panel factory. The site of the factory is a small problem, mainly the production line and technology, and this company needs to develop from scratch, so it is best to choose mature technology at the beginning, and then Research and develop based on the acquired technology, so that we can catch up with the world's advanced technology in the fastest time.

In the current era, Japan's Sharp Corporation's display panel technology is at the forefront of the world.At present, many Japanese semiconductor companies have begun to go global, compete with American companies, and set up branches in the United States. The Japanese semiconductor industry has begun to make a sound in the world.

As far as display panel technology is concerned, Sharp's panel technology is at the forefront of the world, so Lin Baicheng and Noda Hiroshi decided to acquire display panel technology from Sharp after discussion.The two of them didn't expect to acquire the world's advanced technology, but they could acquire the second-tier technology with a gap of three to five years.

It's a pity that the idea is good, but the contact between Noda Hiroshi and Sharp Company is not smooth. Sharp Company is unwilling to sell the second-tier display panel technology, even if Noda Hiroshi offers a 100% premium, it will not accept it.

According to the news that Noda Hiroshi heard, Sharp is not willing to sell second-tier technology at all to add competitors to itself, but it is willing to sell third-tier technology that is about ten years away.

The technology of the third line is about ten years behind the current advanced technology in the world. If possible, Lin Baicheng still hopes to acquire technology that is not so far behind, so he asked Noda Hiroshi to contact other display panel companies, hoping to acquire technology from other companies. Purchased.

It's a pity that after going around for several months, there is no progress, and companies with related technologies are unwilling to sell.

It's not that you can't buy related technologies. Although money is not everything, there is no problem in acquiring second-tier related technologies, but Lin Baicheng can't accept the minimum 200% premium.

The second-line technology patents, which were originally worth about US$8000 million, cost US$2.5 million to buy.

Rather than spending so much wasted money, Lin Baicheng might as well acquire third-line technology and let researchers conduct technology research and development, which can also play a role in training the team.

After discussing with Hiroshi Noda, Lin Baicheng decided to settle for the next best thing, to acquire third-line display panel technology, and to invest funds in his own research slowly.

When Lin Baicheng was still in the United States a while ago, Noda Hiroshi negotiated a deal with the seller to acquire the third-line display panel technology at a price of 4000 million U.S. dollars, with three somewhat old production lines attached.

The purchase price of 4000 million U.S. dollars is still a premium, and it also bought three production lines that will not last for many years, but there is no way. The companies with related technologies offer very black prices. If you want to acquire technology, you can only accept the other party. Conditions issued.

It is nothing more than choosing a company with the best conditions for acquisition.

Lin Baicheng went to Xinghe Semiconductor Company mainly to chat with several technical masters and care about their work and life.

For now, the technologies possessed by Galaxy Semiconductor are far behind the world's advanced technologies, especially in the display panel technology.Therefore, this company, Lin Baicheng, can only continue to invest in the past few years or even ten years, and it is difficult to see returns.

Only after the corresponding technology reaches the forefront of the world can it be possible to make a big difference and earn back all the previous investment.

After chatting with the technical masters of the R&D department, Lin Baicheng and Noda Hao went to the office.

"Although the company's products are digested by Xinghe Games and Xingyue Electronics, you have to go out and sell your products to other businesses."

"Chairman, we have always been doing this, but our technology and reputation are not as great as those of those big companies, so the results have not been made, and the sales are not good."

Noda Hiroshi couldn't help saying that it wasn't that he didn't work hard, but that the technology was there.For technology-hungry products like semiconductors, you can tell if the technology is good or bad by comparing it, and there is no possibility of fraud at all.

Semiconductor products are not like consumer goods such as food, beverages, and liquor. Publicity is often more important than product quality. As long as the product quality is decent, as long as the publicity is good, poor-quality products can still sell better than high-quality products.

"The hard conditions are there, and I know I can't blame you."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly, and then said: "However, since the technology and reputation of our products are not as big as those of big companies, we should sell them at a reduced price. As long as we can maintain a small profit, small profits but quick turnover. How much money we make is the second. The sale of a large number of products is conducive to our technological upgrading and the market share of our products."

After hearing this, Noda Hao said immediately: "Chairman, the price can't be lowered just because it's lowered. If the price is suddenly lowered for no reason, it will only be rejected by the peers, especially those big companies. If they unite and threaten buyers to block our company, We can't stand it."

"Your concerns are not unreasonable."

Lin Baicheng pondered for a while, and had to admit that what Noda Hao said was reasonable. It was impossible for those big companies to watch Xinghe Semiconductor cut prices and occupy the market. They would definitely attack such companies that violated market rules. The size is really unbearable.

"You said, can we lower the price without knowing it, and give buyers discounts through promotions or cashback strategies, so as to achieve the purpose of indirect price reduction?"

Noda Hao could hear the meaning of Lin Baicheng's words, he couldn't help pondering, and nodded slightly after a while: "Yes, it is possible, but this kind of thing usually can't be kept hidden for long, so we can't do too much, and the indirect price reduction cannot be reduced. Too much, otherwise it will only attract the hostility of the industry leader."

"You can control the degree by yourself."

Lin Baicheng said aloud, as long as the method is feasible.

Noda Hiroshi responded, "I will take my time carefully and test the market's reaction."

"Take your time. The main thing is to do a good job in upgrading the technology. This is your main job."

Lin Baicheng reminded him aloud that he didn't want Noda Hiroshi to pursue the bottom line.

"I know, Chairman."

Of course Noda Hiroshi knows that improving the technical level of his company's products is the right way.

At around six o'clock, Lin Baicheng left Galaxy Semiconductor and went to the villa where Seiko Matsuda was.He has already told his family that he will not go back all day today.

"Sincerely!"

Seiko Matsuda, who heard the sound of the car, came to pick up Lin Baicheng at the door.After resting for an afternoon, she recovered full of energy.

The two walked into the villa.

Looking at the TV turned on in the hall, Lin Baicheng couldn't help asking: "Holy Son, how are you learning Cantonese now?"

Not only Seiko Matsuda, but Momoe Yamaguchi are also learning Cantonese.

Now in daily communication, it is Lin Baicheng who communicates with Matsuda Seiko and Yamaguchi Momoe in Japanese. His speed of learning Japanese is still quite fast, mainly thanks to his reborn smarter brain.

"Cantonese is very difficult to learn. I only know a few words for daily communication now, and I am far from being able to have a normal conversation."

Seiko Matsuda complained aloud, which was related to the many things she had to learn. Singing, dancing, and playing the piano took up most of her learning time, and learning Cantonese only took up a small amount of time, so she naturally learned more slowly. up.

"It's okay, take your time and don't rush."

Lin Baicheng smiled and comforted: "There is plenty of time, even if you haven't learned it next year, you should be able to learn it in two or three years in the year after next." Seiko Matsuda still has a long time with him, so he is not in a hurry, let alone He can speak Japanese, and there is no problem in the daily communication between the two, even if Seiko Matsuda can't speak Cantonese, it's fine.

"Cheng Jun, don't worry, I will learn Cantonese as soon as possible."

Seiko Matsuda responded, she is not stupid now, she knew that communicating in Cantonese would definitely make Lin Baicheng more like her.So even though she thinks Cantonese is difficult to learn, she has no intention of giving up.

"I look forward to the day when we can communicate normally in Cantonese."

Lin Baicheng smiled and didn't persuade him any more. Of course he was happy that Seiko Matsuda and the others could communicate with him in Cantonese.

In the evening, Lin Baicheng and Matsuda Seiko had a rest after dinner, and then Lin Baicheng took Matsuda Seiko out for shopping.

It’s called shopping, but it’s not about shopping in the streets, but shopping in high-end shopping malls. The people who can go there are unlikely to be ordinary people. Ordinary people can’t afford the things there, so there are usually not many such shopping malls. People, at least there will be no crowding.
