"Comrades, according to the data just collected by the Ministry, in the past 1987, the total output of CRT TVs in my country exceeded 200,000 sets for the first time, ranking first in the world, nearly more than the second-placed Japan. 6 million units!

But my country's TV industry is in an embarrassing situation of being big but not strong. △ Vertex novels, such as the domestic high-end color TV market of more than 24 inches, are almost completely monopolized by foreign brands. With the development of the national economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the domestic TV market has entered a heyday of sales since last year!

According to the information provided by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, on the black market in the capital city, the price of an imported color TV purchase coupon has been fired to 800 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of half a domestic 18-inch color TV! But even in such a situation where the contradiction between supply and demand is so prominent, there are still many TV factories in China that have unsalable products!

Some production lines in these enterprises have even been imported from abroad for less than two years. But the small black and white TVs they produce have gradually been unable to meet the performance requirements of the Chinese people..."

This is a TV industry development seminar co-hosted by the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry-Ministry and the Deep Sea Special Administrative Region Government. An expert from the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry-Ministry of Industry is talking at the venue.

"Mr. Liu, the young man in the middle of the rostrum wearing a blue slim suit is my former big boss 'Fortune Li'! At least a quarter of the 200,000 TV sets produced in our country last year were produced by the Oriental Group system. completed within the enterprise.

Among them, rca company, a subsidiary of the group, has built a TV industry base in the deep sea special zone, with an annual output of 10 million color picture tubes of various types. More than 4 million TV sets are directly exported to the United States every year, and it has become the brightest pearl in the industrial system of the special zone!

This time, under the coordination of the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Dongfang Group will sign a series of technology transfer agreements with many domestic TV factories! Li Sheng was warmly invited by the SAR government. Came here from Hong Kong to attend the final signing ceremony! "Liu Chang pointed to the rostrum not far away, and explained softly to Liu Chuanzhi beside him.

This is a seminar about the TV industry, which has little to do with Liu Chang and Liu Chuanzhi. But Liu Chang heard that Li Xuan would attend in person, and brought Liu Chuanzhi to pay homage to the true face of the world's richest man.

Although Liu Chang has resigned from the Oriental Group, he, like many other employees in the company, regards Li Xuan as his life idol. This kind of pursuit, which can almost be called spiritual belief, is completely comparable to the brain-damaged fans of the stars of later generations!

Just in order to take a look at his idol from a distance, Liu Chang spent a lot of effort to get two invitations to the seminar. And Liu Chuanzhi is also full of curiosity about the "God of Wealth Li", the richest man in the world. So they came together with Liu Chang's encouragement. The two of them, who have nothing to do with the TV industry, have sat here boringly listening to nonsense for more than an hour.

After the previous expert made a long speech, the host's eyes quickly fixed on Li Xuan, hoping that he could express some insights. Li Xuan did not delay, he reached out and adjusted the height of the microphone on the table in front of him.

His clear voice soon came from the venue: "The leaders from the Ministry of Electronics Industry-Ministry and the Deep Sea Special Economic Zone, as well as all the peers in the TV industry here, I am honored to represent the Oriental Group to participate in this grand event!

I personally agree very much with Expert Cai's overview of the "big but not strong" TV industry in the Mainland. For example, take the development of picture tube technology as an example, the color TV market in European and American countries. It has already fully entered the era of flat right-angle tubes. And more than half of the TV sets in China still use spherical picture tubes!

The reason why Dongfang Group has cooperated with mainland enterprises this time is to help the mainland improve the TV industry, especially the overall level of the picture tube manufacturing industry! in the past five years. Dongfang Group has built in the deep sea special zone, a production base of 10 million picture tubes per year, the world's largest TV and monitor production base!

It's just that the Oriental Group has made a lot of investment in the deep-sea special zone before. However, the products produced are mainly exported, but there is a lack of close contact and cooperation with domestic manufacturers! But the Eastern Group will work next. Serve the progress of China's TV industry! "

Li Xuan came up to talk about the scene first, and then continued after a pause. "Before the seminar, Minister Wei hoped that I could make some suggestions for domestic entrepreneurs. I can't say that the development experience of Dongfang Group is definitely suitable for everyone, but I hope it can at least bring some intentional inspiration!

At the meeting within the Orient Group, I repeatedly emphasized the concept of the Orient Group's own positioning, that is, to be a research-oriented enterprise! What is a research enterprise? I think research-oriented is relative to manufacturing-oriented enterprises!

In the 1980s, China lacked TV sets, so a large number of electronics factories, including all of you present, imported dozens of TV production lines from abroad in the past seven or eight years! With the joint efforts of everyone, China's TV production quickly jumped to the first place in the world in less than ten years!

And let's look at rca company responsible for the TV business in the Oriental Group. When we first acquired rca company in 1984, its annual sales volume of TV sets was less than 00,000! But after years of hard work, rca's total TV sales volume has exceeded 7 million units last year!

However, behind the continuous growth of TV sales, the number of TV sets produced by rca itself has dropped to only 2 million sets, and the remaining 00,000 sets are left to other partners for OEM production!

In the planning table formulated at the beginning of the year, rca will also close one TV factory in Mexico and one in Taiwan this year, further reducing the number of self-produced TVs to less than 1 million!

And by the end of next year, we will completely shut down all our TV factories! So if you are interested, I also welcome everyone to compete, this is the production task of 2 million TV sets per year! "

Li Xuan's words caused a burst of exclamations on the scene. If the data contributed by the Oriental Group were excluded, China's TV production last year was only 190,000 sets. In other words, Li Xuan threw this order. equivalent to one-tenth of the national output.

This naturally made all the bosses present slapped their tongues, and many of them have already begun to flash a light in their eyes. You must know that the orders of the Oriental Group are all export orders. Earn foreign exchange!

Li Xuan didn't care about everyone's reaction, and continued calmly: "Everyone may be surprised. Since our TV sets are selling well, why should we pass the order to others and let you make a lot of money in vain!

This is the biggest difference between what I call a research enterprise and an ordinary manufacturing enterprise! To put it a little arrogantly, we have despised this part of the profit in the production link!

So where does our core profit come from? That's right, it's technology! For example, the technology transfer we carried out to many domestic enterprises this time, they all paid a huge price! And when you are still introducing the technology of right-angle flat-panel picture tube from us today, the Oriental Research Institute is already carrying out the research and development of the next-generation flat-panel picture tube!

We may wish to think about it. After waiting for three or five years, when right-angle flat-panel tubes have just begun to be popularized in China, European and American countries have begun to popularize more advanced flat-screen color TVs! Will everyone here be the same then? Spending huge sums of money again to bring the next generation of flat-screen technology from us?

What's more, the progress of technology is never-ending. After the flat-screen TV, there will be an ultra-flat TV! This is just a small technical upgrade inside the CRT picture tube, but in fact the whole era of CRT color TV is coming to an end, and the international color TV giants are intensively developing alternative products.

Taking our Oriental Research Institute as an example, rear projection, plasma, and liquid crystal may become the technologies for the future development of TV sets. We are all following up on R&D. These research and development work requires a lot of financial and material resources. That's why we don't want to waste our limited funds on low-value links like building factory production lines!

And China's TV industry wants to really become bigger and stronger, just relying on the introduction of technology from others' ass, it is also impossible to succeed! There is no core technology. It means that you will be strangled at any time, and you can only act by looking at people's faces! "

Li Xuan's remarks can be described as deafening, the scene seemed to fall into silence all of a sudden. It seems that they are silently chewing on the deep meaning of what he just said! The host at the scene naturally couldn't let this awkward atmosphere continue, but he found that everyone was thoughtful. No interest in talking at all.

So the host had to keep turning his attention to Li Xuan: "Mr. Li, how do you think domestic companies can catch up?"

I heard the host ask that. Many people responded at once, and waited for Li Xuan to give the answer himself!

"Technology research and development cannot tolerate falsification, and it requires real capital investment to achieve results! Some people may say that we do not have as much scientific research funds as the Oriental Group, nor do we have such strong technical strength as the Oriental Group, and we should start from Where to start?

Scientific research is always about the ability to do as many things as possible, and the lack of money and technology, so choose those projects that are less difficult! If you are temporarily unable to develop picture tube technology, you might as well start with other components on the TV.

For example, if the printed circuit boards of some companies are imported, will they save a lot of foreign exchange by localizing them? And if the printed circuit board has been localized and its design continues to improve, can it save more production costs?

Technological progress is accumulated from such a little bit! I can give another example, Oriental Research Institute this year launched a video recorder replacement product, we call it vcd video player!

From the advent of the prototype of the first vcd player to its mass production, the Oriental Research Institute has successively carried out 62 technical improvements! These improvements have not subverted the basic structure of vcd, but have greatly improved its performance!

From the launch of vcd to the present, Toyo Research Institute has completed the improvement of a new technology, so that our vcd can become more and more advanced and firmly maintain an advantage in the market competition!

There was a debate in China before about whether the salary level of the Oriental Research Institute was reasonable! The significance of the Oriental Research Institute to the entire Oriental Group is like the engine in a car!

Without the continuous technical support of the Oriental Research Institute, it is impossible for the Oriental Group to grow from a little-known company to the most well-known high-tech company in just ten years!

The Oriental Research Institute has established several R&D centers in Europe, Asia and North America. Among them, the scientific research center in Shenhai City alone has exceeded 1,000 people! The average salary of technical research and development personnel in the deep-sea scientific research center is 3,188 yuan, which is said to be 13 times the average salary of the deep-sea special zone!

Therefore, some people say that our Oriental Research Institute does not focus on the overall situation and destroys the stability of the entire domestic wage system! But in fact, the average salary of the deep-sea R&D center is far lower than the average level of other R&D centers of the Oriental Research Institute. For example, the Hong Kong R&D center is three times his size, and the US Silicon Valley R&D center is five times his size! The actual contribution of scientific research talents in the Mainland far exceeds the salary we offer them!

In the era of China's planned economy, the long-term use of the big pot system of equal pay for equal work has actually seriously distorted the value of technology! If the value of a college life is the same as that of an ordinary worker, what is the point of the state investing huge amounts of money every year to train college students! "

With Li Xuan's slightly sharp words, the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be a little more dignified. D's assertion that "science and technology are the primary productive forces" will not be put forward until several months later. Many of Li Xuan's views today seem to have gone too far in the eyes of many people.

Fortunately, Li Xuan didn't lose his sense~www.readwn.com~ I stopped here and ended his speech with a smile. As a compatriot in Hong Kong, he also bears the aura of the world's richest man, and many of his views can be a little more unscrupulous than others!

And the same point of view from his mouth, and from other people's mouth, cause a completely different degree of attention! Li Xuan also hopes that his remarks today can trigger some touches.

However, in the ensuing discussion, the host obviously avoided Li Xuan on purpose, and did not specify that he was invited to speak again. He was also very happy, and after the seminar was over, he got up and prepared to leave through the side door.

Many people originally wanted to approach Li Xuan for further communication, but in the end they were hesitant to move forward. Perhaps it was because of his last remarks that made these people a little shy. Li Xuan didn't care, he just left!

Liu Chang had no concerns about this at all. Seeing that his idol was about to leave under the **** of bodyguards, he immediately walked up to greet him in three steps and two steps. Although Li Xuan is usually reluctant to be interviewed by the public media, he is not a difficult person to talk to. Liu Chang's unusual behavior attracted the attention of the bodyguards from the very beginning, but Li Xuan signaled that they don't need to be nervous. (To be continued.)
