Back to 1988

Chapter 943
Jiafeng Electronics' breakthrough in the Thai market has attracted the attention of a series of companies such as Motorola, Panasonic, and Sony. Except for Toshiba itself, which is deeply mired, everyone has begun to stare at this small company.

At the same time, a piece of information about Jiafeng Electronics' investment in the past two years has been circulated on Wall Street. This information shows that Jiafeng Electronics Group's annual investment in research and development is as high as [-]%.

The rapid development of the R&D company made them a little unbelievable, especially in the R&D speed of high-end electronics. It took three years to sit firmly as a domestic first-class enterprise and hold the core technology, which is enough to compete with Changhong Electronics, which has been R&D for many years.

This speed is too frightening, especially the speed of financing. Lu Feng is like a big patriarch. The Gold Swallowing Beast is naturally as strong as a cow under crazy 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 immediately on this matter, and it must be contained, especially if it develops in the direction of high-tech, it is absolutely impossible.

In the office, Lambert looked at the information in his hand. The percentage in the R&D column was particularly glaring. This figure was not good for them.

The basic strategy of the United States after the 90s is to abandon low-end manufacturing and focus on finance and high-tech. High-tech means industry barriers. As long as this is stuck, it is equivalent to hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, and the financial industry is stopping Seven inches later, make low-priced acquisitions, or simply destroy its finances.

The phone on the table rang, and Lambert answered the phone and listened to the people inside, and said to the phone after a while: "We can't let the development go on, now Schroeder Investment Group has become the largest company in Jiafeng Electronics. Shareholders, what we are facing is definitely not China, but Europe!"

"Correct!"

"Good! I think so."

Listening to the words on the phone, Lambert continued: "And I think Lu Feng is very capable. The siege in Thailand has already been seen. Of course, there are human reasons for this, but I still suggest giving him a fatal blow." , which is also a response to Schroeder Financial Group."

"We found that the largest overseas export market of Jiafeng Electronics, apart from Thailand, is the African market. Their low-end TVs and home appliances are selling very well in the African market, and they have a relatively high market share in South Africa. We are going to do it. .”

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Lambert leaned back on the chair, felt the sunlight outside, and muttered, "There is an old saying in China, which is called a mantis' arm is a car!"

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

"Tell the companies in Fusang that we are going to crack down on Jiafeng Electronics' African business, and they will also cooperate and publicly accuse Jiafeng Electronics of piracy, plagiarism, and patent infringement." Lambert is too familiar with these methods. Few companies can resist this kind of three-handed axe.

"Ok."

Eisen nodded and walked out, and immediately called several Motorola companies, but Toshiba was not listed, and this company was kicked out of the partnership in a short time.

When the siege failed, the more dangerous killing had just begun.

After a few days of meetings, Lu Feng had some understanding of the situation of the companies under the group this year. The net profit of the entire group reached [-] million in September this year. This year's net profit should exceed [-] billion. no problem.

The high profit growth is due to the fact that the initial investment period is basically over, and the expenditure is relatively small. However, the monthly sales volume of Weipuda TV is stable at about [-] units, and it is easy to break through one million units during the peak period. The national color TV market is two Of the sales volume of [-] million, Changhong and Weipuda accounted for half of it.

In terms of VCD, it even dominates [-]% of the market share, and the pager market accounts for [-]%. Since it started this year, the main target of the game is still foreign capital, but the combination of Jiaxun and Bird has already occupied More than [-]% of the market is currently on par with foreign capital.

In addition, the messy products of small home appliances are also slightly profitable. Overseas markets have created a larger share. The African market is growing every month. This year, the profit has reached [-] million yuan. This fund really makes the entire executive big for shock.

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

On September [-]th, Lu Feng took Liucheng and his group on a plane to Sweden. This three-day itinerary was planned to visit the engineers of Ruixin Laboratory to express the group headquarters' respect for them. Pay attention, and at the same time, Lu Feng also understands the situation over there.

Since there is no direct flight in China, it is necessary to go to London for a connecting flight. This trip took three days on the optical road.

South Africa, the second largest economic country in Africa, is known as the Rainbow Country. In the 90s, the economy was in full swing. In the era when the domestic per capita GDP was only [-] US dollars, the current South African per capita GDP is as high as [-] US dollars. Poor places, but the distribution of wealth is uneven, and most of the poor at the bottom.

After Weipuda TV enters the port, it 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 to the whole of Africa for sale.

In South Africa, the office of the head of the external department, a black man in his forties hurriedly walked towards the office, knocked on the door and said, "Flender, there is an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with by you."

"Come in!" A man's deep voice came from inside the room.

The man pushed open the door, and the interior of the office was well decorated. A black man in his sixties was sitting behind the desk. 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 violated 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. All materials and products of the company were seized and handed over to them."

"NONONO!" Flender shook his head again and again, and said in a deep voice: "If this company is really involved in the infringement of intellectual property rights in multiple countries, we will handle it ourselves, and we don't need them to intervene!"

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

Flender stopped talking. South Africa just experienced an earth-shaking event this year. Mandela stepped onto the stage, and his international influence reached an unprecedented level.

And the United States has never dealt with them very much. Now they call to ask to do this, and if they fail to do so, new sparks will be created.

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

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

One day later, Flender had a phone call with the leaders of the foreign department of the United States and formally communicated about the matter. Regarding the matter of Jiafeng Electronics, they will take action, but they will not listen to the United States. This compromise plan is considered soft. But he saved his face.

Lu Feng has already arrived in Gothenburg, Sweden. This country is definitely one of the most fat in the world. It has a small population, a developed economy, green lawns everywhere, and classic European-style houses with pointed hats.

In addition to various high-tech research institutes in China, the most famous one is the banking industry.

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

It's autumn now, and the air is crisp and clear. Sitting in the back row, Lu Feng looked at the scenery in front of him with emotion, and said to Liu Cheng beside him, "What a place!"

"That's right. This place is full of fat and oil. They are richer than people in the United States. The key point is that they live a slow life. Many R&D companies around the world have set up research institutes here. In terms of microelectronics, Sweden is also a leader." Liu Cheng sighed. : "When will this happen in China!"

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

When we got to the place and got off the car, there were many people standing at the door, most of them were Chinese, and there were also a small group of blond foreigners who looked at Lu Feng curiously.

"Hello, Mr. Lu!" A man in his forties stepped forward and said politely, "I am the person in charge of our Ruixin Laboratory in China. My surname is Xia. Everyone knows that you are coming, and I am very excited."

Excited?
Lu Feng really didn't see it. Those foreigners looked at themselves as if they were watching monkeys in a zoo, and they walked up to shake hands one by one. They asked in disbelief, "Are you the boss of this company?"

Lu Feng told them in fluent English: "That's right, and I created this company myself."

"Whoa whoa! So cool!"

Compared with the people in China, these foreign engineers seemed to be more active. To put it bluntly, they had no rules. Lu Feng walked in with them politely.

Seven or eight old professors came over to introduce what the major laboratories do, and Lu Feng didn't quite understand them, so he just asked them when they expected to have results.

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