Rebirth 2002: Nano Life

As early as 1987, Beijing Electronic Tube Factory, the predecessor of BOE, established a joint venture with RB Panasonic - Beijing Matsushita Color Picture Tube Factory, Beijing Electronic Tube Factory accounted for 25% of the shares, and Panasonic held the shares. However, until later generations of CRT TVs were almost pushed out of the historical stage and the Panasonic Color Tube Factory was closed down, the Chinese side was unable to obtain any core technology from it.

It can be seen that the degree of foreign technology blockade against domestic technology, and the domestic idea of ​​obtaining technology from joint ventures is basically an illusion. This is one of the reasons why BOE has decided to acquire LCD technology.

BOE's acquisition of Hyundai Korea is not like Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's PC business. What it needs is not the other party's brand, channel, or internationalization, but a full set of intellectual property rights and a complete R&D team in the other party's hands.

In the LCD panel, some domestic home appliance manufacturers have been tortured, because this key technology is in the hands of foreign companies, so the pricing power is also in their hands.

Before the domestic BOE LCD production line was established, six companies, Samsung, LG, Chi Mei, AUO, CPT, and HannStar Color Crystal, held many "crystal conferences" every year in South Korea and Taiwan.

It may even be once a month, mainly to exchange information and negotiate prices. The key one is that when selling LCD panels in mainland China, several companies work together to price and manipulate the market together.

These meetings have directly led to the high price of color TVs, and LCD panels once accounted for two-thirds of the total cost of TVs. But in the face of oppression, domestic companies have to buy them again, because China has always been the world's largest TV producer and consumer, and production has to stop if they don't import them.

Why is BOE’s descendants making huge losses every year, because the production lines they originally acquired are already relatively backward. In order to keep up with international key technologies, BOE has to invest billions or even tens of billions of R&D and production costs every year, and no matter which one. Whether BOE is profitable or not, these research and development expenses are necessary expenses, because the cornerstone industry such as panels involves many industries, and the industry itself needs to continue to invest in technology and production facilities, the amount of which is beyond the imagination of the outside world.

When the three of them talked about various domestic technologies, they couldn't help but feel a little sigh.

The topic turned back to e-paper.

Liu Chunmei said, "Comparing your e-paper with an ordinary ink screen, it feels more like paper when you touch it with your hands. Not to mention monochrome colors, in terms of resolution, your e-paper is not inferior to a tft screen. , but just operated it, it seems that the refresh rate is still a bit low, although it is far better than the products in the laboratory, but compared with the refresh rate of tft, the application scope of this electronic paper is still relatively limited."

Although there is no electronic paper technology product on the market, this technology has already appeared in the laboratory. After all, Liu Chunmei is engaged in this industry and has a relatively sufficient understanding of this technology.

"Sister Liu, in fact, I already have a solution to the problem of refresh rate. In my personal laboratory, I have actually produced a color ink screen with more than 10,000 colors, including all 8 primary colors, and it is not stacked. The structure, the resolution can reach 1600*900, the pixel density is 150PPI, and the refresh rate is also close to the level of ordinary tft, but it can only stay in the laboratory at present, and there is still a period of time before industrial mass production.” In fact, color electronic paper It's not bad, the technology to achieve mass production is not high, and many of Chen Yizhe's other products, not to mention mass production, even if the top foreign laboratories are difficult to produce within ten or twenty years.

After listening to Chen Yizhe's words, Liu Chunmei felt his eyes lit up and praised, "If the technology of electronic paper can reach this level, it may really be able to compete with liquid crystal display technology. I think if President Wang knows this technology, There's definitely a lot of interest."

Mr. Wang in Liu Chunmei's mouth is the legend of BOE - Wang Dongsheng, an entrepreneur who has made the company continue to lose money for a long time. This is not irony, but his patience and dormancy will make him have the potential to undertake in the future. Change the industry to achieve overtaking.

"I am personally very happy to cooperate with domestic manufacturers in technology, and I am also willing to authorize technology. Of course, I will not grant this technology to companies that are not good enough. It is used by companies with experience in R&D or production, just like BOE companies that dare to invest heavily in technology research and development." Chen Yizhe's words have clearly excluded foreign investors.

"Aren't you afraid of raising tigers?" Liu Chunmei said with a smile.

Chen Yizhe smiled confidently, then suddenly pointed to his water glass, and said, "Assuming this water glass is in the domestic market, there are many behemoths staring at the water glass outside. If you just stare at one city and one pool. If so, my behavior is indeed a danger to raising tigers, but if I expand my horizons to the world, then I would prefer to call it raising wolves, because tigers only fight alone, while wolves compete with each other and are more united. A pack is more dynamic and lethal than a single tiger. Domestic companies are inherently weaker and weaker. If they want to go out and fight against foreign behemoths, they should learn from the wolf pack and go further with each other!"

When Liu Chunmei learned about the character Chen Yizhe from Fu Weiqiang, she couldn't believe it at first. In her elite view, the so-called genius only has a little more than ordinary people: for example, more diligence, more endurance, more enthusiasm for things, and more concentrated attention than ordinary people, and many more. This little extra "a little" is what makes a person's personality and quality. And she believes that this personality and quality is closely related to the living environment in the growing years.

However, the appearance of Chen Yizhe still broke her previous concept of genius. Maybe such a person can have such a mind. Liu Chunmei looked at Chen Yizhe and couldn't help but sigh.

Fu Weiqiang and his wife, who refused to keep him overnight, came out of Fu Weiqiang's house after 11 o'clock in the evening. He did not return to Wen Meicen's apartment, but stayed at a nearby hotel for one night.

I went to Wen Meicen's company the next day and watched her record a song for a while. During this period, I also chatted with Song Ke. The main thing was to consult Song Ke on the issue of digital copyright, and discuss with him about Wen Meicen's commercial shooting. matters.

At noon, Chen Yizhe met with Xu Yong at the Hilton Hotel Club near Wangfujing.

Regarding the acquisition, Xu Yong asked Chen Yizhe again for his opinion, but the latter still insisted on the original price increase.

In this regard, Xu Yong is also quite helpless. At present, the sense of crisis within Baidu is actually relatively heavy. In 2001, Baidu had an 80% share of the most search engines in China, almost a monopoly.

However, since last year, the search ranking service triggered by search engines has been a proven successful network profit model, and the long-standing market potential has burst out at once. Last year, the Chinese search engine market reached 230 million and is expected to reach 2.3 billion by 2006. Therefore, the huge market size has attracted portals, international giants, and domestic technology original manufacturers to enter the search market one after another.

The first quarter of 2003 has just passed, the main players in the search market have already appeared, and the competition is becoming more and more intense.

However, Baidu has changed its business model many times and its almost arrogant sense of superiority has caused Baidu to pay too much attention to business and ignore technological innovation.

Chen Yizhe knows that this year, Baidu will lose its dominance in Chinese search and will retreat step by step. The biggest winner in China's search field this year is undoubtedly HC.com, which was unknown last year. Last year, HC Network took advantage of the feud between Baidu and Sina to start providing search engine services for Sina. And then Huicong.com will release the third-generation intelligent search engine in August this year, and take over the search services of all portal websites. At this time, Baidu will truly face the value of Souxia.

Again, a good hunter requires a lot of patience. However, Chen Yizhe is not a good hunter, but he can see through the future.

Since commercial matters are out of the question, Xu Yong and Chen Yizhe talked about the topic of biomedicine, especially for graphene, Xu Yong is still quite interested.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yizhe suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, there is actually one thing that I have always wanted to trouble you with. Since we have a chance to meet each other this time, I have to shamelessly disturb you!"

"Haha, President Chen, but it doesn't matter. If it is within my power, I will definitely live up to the trust of President Chen." Xu Yong put on his glasses and smiled.

"Mr. Xu has worked in two famous multinational high-tech companies in the pharmaceutical industry. He should have a better understanding of the cdss system, right?"

"Do you want to do cdss?" Xu Yong asked in surprise. The company he once worked for was also researching this system. How could he not understand it?

Chen Yizhe nodded, "I have this idea, I want to make a cdss system for domestic patients, but I have no way to get domestic medical clinical data, so I want to ask Mr. Xu if he has any resources in this regard."

Although Xu Yong has been working in the medical field abroad for a long time, he graduated from Peking University in biomedicine after all, so he should still have a certain network of contacts in the domestic medical field.

Sure enough, Xu Yong said after listening, "It's not a big problem, but I want to remind you that the clinical data in the hospital is difficult to use."

"I know this, I will let someone do natural language processing as soon as I get the data!" Chen Yizhe said.

"Medical problems are ever-changing. The knowledge of three fingers on the wrist has been counted in a library, and it will be written for many years. Now human beings want to put this problem-solving idea on a system~ www.readwn.com~ To a certain extent, the development of cdss is actually very difficult." Xu Yong sighed, "My company in the United States has been developing cdss systems since the 1980s, and it has been developing until now. It can only be limited to a very small field of medicine, and it may even be a very special disease."

"Maybe as Mr. Xu you said, the CDSS system may not be able to solve the complicated and responsible patient conditions like general practitioners for a long time. However, as you said at the end, in specific diseases or specific tasks , The CDSS system has great room for progress. I believe that in the near future, machine reading and simple diagnosis and treatment inference are likely to gradually integrate into people's daily life." Chen Yizhe said.

In fact, Chen Yizhe knows that he is still a little optimistic about what he said, and that new things are often criticized. For example, if a doctor sees 8 out of 10 patients, it is actually very good, but if ai comes to the institute and sees 1,000 patients, if one is wrong, it is likely to be pointed out by Wan Fu.

And once AI is better than the best doctor for seeing a doctor, so what? How many doctors will be laid off? And the medical rep? There is already a group of people eating at this table, do you dare to overturn the table?

"In general, the prospects of CDSS are definitely good, but there are still many places to think about how to go. And as a practitioner who used to be in the biomedical industry, I think that in a few decades, the domestic medical There will definitely be earth-shaking changes." Xu Yong smiled.

"Since President Xu has such confidence in the development of domestic medical care, why not participate together?" Chen Yizhe looked at Xu Yong and said with a smile, "Perhaps in a few decades, we may become martyrs or pioneers. !"
