Rebirth of Northern Technology

On October 5, 1992, the 700C notebook was launched in the United States as scheduled!

After the release of the 700C notebook, the same as in history, this notebook quickly became a hot product, and orders were overwhelming. This result was unexpected and unexpected.

700C is actually a color version of the 700 model. In terms of the order of release, 700 was released first but the response was poor. This brought a shadow to the release of 700C.

Including Kerui and a series of suppliers, seeing this situation, their hearts are awkward.

Everyone put a heavy bet on this product. In particular, Kerui has not seen much of the profit yet, so he paid his own money and invested in TFT-LCD production. If you make a mistake in your investment, it will really hurt your nerves and bones.

But with the 700C's success, everyone is happy.

700C is the most advanced portable computer at this time. It is equipped with a 10.4-inch (264 mm) LCD screen, a 25MHz386SX CPU, a 120MB hard drive, and a keyboard with TrackPoint pointing stick.

The red TrackPoint is installed on the keyboard, and the portable computer can be used on the aircraft cabin cradle without a mouse. The small red dot has also become a part of the ThinkPad brand logo.

At this time, most laptops had ugly and cumbersome shells with monochrome screens. The ThinkPad700C is wrapped in a sleek black case and received great commercial praise, and soon became the envy of board executives.

This notebook has been on the covers of several technology magazines in succession, and has attracted a large number of orders. The products that were distributed in advance were swept away.

The success of 700C caused a series of chain reactions. The large color TFT screen has since become the standard configuration of mainstream high-end notebooks. Various computer manufacturers adjusted their product plans at the same time, TFT-LCD, immediately became the target pursued by users.

—————————

While TFT-LCD products are being sought after, many stocks related to TFT-LCD concepts have also been popular among investors. Kerui is the beneficiary of this wave. Kerui's share price has begun a new round of rise.

As the stock price rises, naturally, expanding investment in the LCD field is an inevitable choice. But how to expand investment has become a problem. Several rounds of negotiations between Kerui, Optoelectronics and Quancai were unsuccessful.

Because LCD production technology and related equipment are controlled in the hands of the optoelectronics department, especially the three core equipment. As a result, players in other markets are unable to build factories immediately.

Not only is Kerui negotiating with Optoelectronics, a group of investment funds around the world have also cast their sights on the far north.

TFT-LCD is different from LED. The LCD market has existed before TFT-LCD, and TFT-LCD is only an upgraded replacement of LCD. Its market size has long been familiar to everyone.

This is a market with an annual output value of nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars!

From this perspective, the value of full color is very huge.

Of course, in this world, full color is not the only one supplying products to the market. From the perspective of output, the output of several Japanese suppliers is even larger.

But these manufacturers, firstly, are already too large, and they themselves belong to giant chaebols, it is difficult to have investment opportunities.

Second, 700C has proven the market for large-screen TFTs. 700C not only proves the market for 10-inch monitors, it also proves another principle, that is, larger screens have become the trend of future notebooks.

As the only supplier that can provide 12-inch displays, "Full Color Technology" gives everyone more room for imagination.

In addition to cooperation requests from abroad, there are even more domestic invitations. "Full Color Technology" has been pushed to the forefront of this wave of waves.

Although Long Province and Bingcheng cannot provide preferential policies that match those of southern provinces and cities, no matter whether it is manpower or loans, it is not a problem now.

Under this circumstance, the four new production lines of Full Color were fully launched.

These two large factories have already been transferred to the indoor construction stage. If it goes well, they can be partially completed before and after the Spring Festival, and then they can enter the equipment installation stage.

With loans, Bai Xuecheng and Quancai Technology are naturally not prepared to continue accepting foreign investment. The previous few investments were because there was no alternative. The bulk of the profit was taken away by investors and dealers.

With the full support of Long Province and Bingcheng, "Full Color Research" began another round of crazy expansion plans. Equipment orders for 4 first-generation lines were sent to all parts of the country.

————————

This order, in addition to the several generation lines that have been completed and not yet completed, and a second generation line, the total number has reached 9 production lines, and its total investment has reached a huge amount of 2 billion.

This figure can be compared horizontally, and that is the 908 project. The total investment of the 908 project is only 2 billion yuan. Moreover, the 2 billion li also includes civil construction and other funds.

As for the investment of 908, the entire life cycle has gone through 7 years. Optoelectronics is equivalent to investing a country's capital invested in the semiconductor industry in one year!

And this does not include international orders due to 12-inch news.

During the period from the second half of 1992 to the beginning of 1993, the semiconductor equipment industry across the country ushered in an extraordinary period of development.

In 1991, everyone had a good year. In 1992, everyone's life can no longer be described.

————————

While "Quancai Technology" is developing by leaps and bounds, "Huge Hi-Tech" and "Colorful Technology" have also straightened out their own management and embarked on a sound development track.

After these two companies got rid of the burden of turning in all their profits, they moved lightly on the road, and their development was good.

"Colorful Technology" is the LED production part of LED company, and Qian Dezhi took over the position of general manager of this branch.

The problem faced by Colorful Technology is relatively simple. After all, the Optoelectronics Department belongs to the world's top players in LED technology. Especially in the field of white light and blue light. Since large screens need to consider the brightness of red and green, this advantage is actually impossible to play.

As soon as the company's LED products entered the retail market, it quickly made up for the loss of production capacity due to the decline in sales of large screens. The only regret is that the product prices can only follow the market, and the profits are not so big.

————————

For "Huge High Tech", Ding Weiting still has two brushes.

The company's newly established technical department quickly came up with several effective plans.

First, the size of the product has begun to diversify. It is no longer limited to the original 4 meters and 6 meters, but provides multiple intermediate sizes.

Second, the development of super-large and super-bright models. Compared with those new players, Huge Hi-Tech still has a unique advantage in its large size. In the ultra-large screen market, such as the 20-meter model, there is no competition at all.

Third, regard the LED module as the final product instead of the large LED screen.

In this way, a large number of local installation companies around the world have been won. For example, a large square screen of 4 meters x 4 meters is now possible. After all, there are still a few companies that can develop large screens.

The most important point is the price. The price of large screens has also been adjusted for the first time to adapt to the fiercely competitive market.

At the same time, as an important raw material for large screens, the price of LEDs, Ding Weiting is also unceremonious.

After a few tricks, in a short period of time, the collapse of sales was stopped.

After all, "Huge Tech" still has a brand premium effect. It will take time for new brands to win the trust of the market.

————————

But these achievements are far from enough. Ding Weiting has a bigger plan in his heart, which is why he dared to undertake "Huge High Tech".

The development of "Full Color Technology" in Bingcheng encountered various problems, such as factories and skilled workers. But these problems are not a problem in Fengtian.

Since Optoelectronics started with LEDs and finally entered LCDs, why couldn't "Huge Hi-Tech"?

Outside companies can't get the full LCD production line equipment, so why can't "Huge Hi-Tech" as its own person.

At the dinner table, the visiting Director Sun of the Bureau of Industry knew about this idea and immediately received strong support. For this matter, Ding Weiting paid a return visit to Bingcheng.
