The liquid crystal industry first originated from the researcher of rca company Hemel, and a series of electro-optical effects such as dynamic scattering and phase transition of liquid crystal discovered in 1961. Pin#shuwang, but due to the lack of foresight and strategic mistakes of rca company, Japanese companies have been left behind in this field.

Of course, rca's strategic mistakes are actually justifiable, because the main application areas of the early monochrome tn LCD screen are electronic watches, calculators, instrument panels, etc. Both electronic watches and calculators are labor-intensive industries.

The expensive labor costs in the United States make domestic companies have no competitiveness in these light industrial products. If the executives of rca could have guessed that TVs, computers, and mobile phones would be dominated by LCD screens in a few decades, it is estimated that they would increase their research and development efforts even if they broke the pot and sold iron.

It is a pity that they do not have the ability to foresee the future. On the contrary, labor-intensive industries such as electronic watches and calculators are the advantages of Japanese companies. At that time, Japan, which had just completed reconstruction from the ruins of World War II, was focusing on developing emerging industries such as electronics. And this is also the fundamental reason why the Japanese government was willing to vigorously promote the liquid crystal technology with the will of the country at the infancy stage.

In fact, until the rise of the Oriental Group, the application of LCD screens was still mainly concentrated in the two major products of calculators and electronic watches. It was not until the gaboy series of handheld game consoles became popular all over the world that the demand for LCD screens ushered in a new round of surge.

Prior to this, LCD screens produced in Japan accounted for more than 90% of the entire market sales. In this round of demand surge driven by gaboy, the biggest beneficiary is not Japan. but Taiwan. The tn liquid crystal technology used in the gaboy handheld was relatively mature in the early 1980s.

When Li Xuan founded the Oriental Group. To a large extent, it imitated the Japanese consortium model and tried to build an industrial ecological chain under its own control. Regardless of the fact that there are only a dozen subsidiaries affiliated to the Oriental Group. A large number of peripheral companies emerging around these dozen or so backbone companies seem to have no equity connection with Li Xuan, but in fact the fate of these companies is all in his hands.

And Li Xuan's principle of selecting partners has always been that he would rather support those fledgling and weak new companies than cooperate with those industrial giants. Because only these small companies can wholeheartedly obey the baton of the Eastern Group.

And if you cooperate with those big companies, you have to always be alert to the other party's tricks to overthrow you and take your place. Therefore, when cultivating the personal computer industry, only the newcomers of the industry such as Lu's and Acer will receive the full support of the Oriental Group, not multinational companies such as IB Deyi.

Let’s talk about Japanese companies in the 1980s. The influence in the computer field can be described as lackluster, but Li Xuan is more wary of them than American companies. The advantage of companies such as ib Deyi lies in their technical heritage.

And Dongfang Group has the blessing of Li Xuan's golden finger of rebirth, and is not afraid of any opponents in technical competition. Even Microsoft and Intel, who could be regarded as big demon kings in another time and space, have been killed and injured under Li Xuan's deliberate and unintentional blow.

What's more, American companies still have a huge weakness, which is the high labor cost in the country. Salaries in Asia are only a fraction of those of their U.S. counterparts, whether for technology developers or industrial workers. This is also the fundamental reason why Dongfang Group has dared to offer wages that are the envy of white-collar workers in Hong Kong over the years.

Because even if the salary cost of Oriental Group is higher than other companies in Hong Kong, it still takes a lot of advantage when it competes with European and American competitors. And if Li Xuan passes the future, he will gradually focus on production and R&D. Moving to the mainland, where labor is cheaper, this advantage will be even more pronounced.

But for Japanese companies, their most buggy skills are better than blue. Once Japanese companies find the right way, then for other companies in this industry. Possibly a catastrophe.

For example, in the TV industry in the United States, under the dumping of Japanese TV sets, now there is only rca, a company that sells dog meat. Another example is the British car industry. Under the impact of cheap Japanese cars, only luxury car brands like Bentley are left. The German camera industry can survive for another three to five years. But after the Japanese digital camera is completely popularized, the classic camera brand like Leica. In the future, it can only be reduced to a niche luxury line.

Throughout the 1980s, Japanese electronics companies were able to kill the Quartet, causing European and American companies to collapse. But in the emerging personal computer field, Japanese companies have not done much.

The most fundamental reason for this is that the two key processors and operating systems that control the personal computer industry have nothing to do with the Japanese. But Japanese companies still found the new key to unlocking the personal computer market in the 1990s, LCD monitors.

Relying on the monopoly position of Japanese manufacturers in the field of liquid crystal displays, Japan's major electronics companies finally entered the personal computer market from the 1990s through the emerging notebook computers. Toshiba, Sharp, Sony, Fujitsu, nec and other companies have all ranked among the top ten notebook computer brands in the world.

Therefore, Li Xuan is naturally reluctant to cooperate with Japanese companies in the LCD field. The reason why Oriental Group invests in LCD technology on a large scale is to break the monopoly of Japanese companies in this field.

Dongfang Group completed the acquisition of rca in 1983, but in fact, as early as 1981, Dongfang had already acquired the liquid crystal department from rca in advance. Since then, by taking advantage of the huge demand for LCD screens of gaboy handheld game consoles, Oriental Group has begun to vigorously support the LCD industry in Taiwan.

When Dongfang Group took over the LCD division of RCA, it was already behind in technology. But this is only relative to Japan's top companies. As a true pioneer of liquid crystal technology, its heritage is still high-tech for Taiwan.

Taiwan is an important part of the industrial planning of the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong iron triangle in Li Xuan's vision. Compared with the mainland and Hong Kong, Taiwan has many unique advantages. For example, a large number of universities in Taiwan can provide a large number of high-level technical talents and cheap land resources that Hong Kong cannot match. Moreover, compared with the mainland, it is much less difficult for high-tech to settle down.

Therefore, whether it is semiconductors or liquid crystals, the final destination of the Oriental Group is Taiwan. And with Li Xuan's intervention, Taiwan-Strait relations began to break the ice two or three years earlier than in another time and space. Although there is still a long way to go to achieve the normalization of relations, the business exchanges that affect the development of the Oriental Group are no longer restricted.

"After all, there are still a small number of Hong Kong investors who are really willing to test the waters of the European stock market. Ding Sheng, if you want to attract more customers, you still need to work hard in the Hong Kong stock market." Li Xuan is also bored when he is idle, so he has nothing to do with this Mr. Ding Zeming. A casual chat.

"Li Sheng, you're right, if it wasn't Aikang but other British listed companies, even if I had a bright tongue, not many people in Hong Kong would care about me, but Li's company, the God of Fortune, is different. In fact, I've been paying more attention recently. Another company. I don’t know if you have heard of Li Sheng, Jiachuang Technology.”

Ding Zeming pretended to smile mysteriously, but found that Li Xuan did not have much response, so he had to solve the mystery himself: "In May last year, the Oriental Research Institute spun off its LCD project department separately, with all related technology patents, And the equity of several LCD manufacturing companies in Taiwan, as well as US$100 million in cash, established a wholly-owned Jiachuang Technology Co., Ltd.

It can be said that this company can be regarded as a direct descendant of Li Zhen, the God of Fortune. Just last month, it was reported that Jiachuang Technology intends to raise external financing, with a total amount of up to 200 million US dollars, for the construction of a second-generation tftlcd panel production line. .

The production capacity of the new production line is mainly used to provide LCD screens for the next new notebook models. That is to say, once the notebook is successfully listed, the investment value of Jiachuang Technology Co., Ltd. will also skyrocket.

It is said that Jiachuang Technology is willing to give only 15 shares, which means that its valuation of itself is more than 1.1 billion US dollars.

Well~www.readwn.com~ The display screen used on my handheld TV is the latest tftlcd technology of Jiachuang Technology, and its definition and other indicators far exceed the mainstream sdtn LCD on the market. It can be said that the technical advantages of the Eastern Group are always so desperate

Once the sales of notebooks are satisfactory, other computer companies will soon follow suit and develop notebooks. The demand for large-sized LCD screens will definitely expand rapidly. If Jiachuang Technology seeks to be listed in Hong Kong in the future, then we may have a chance to get some light, but at least for now, there is nothing I can do

However, there is a Taiwanese company that produces LCD screens on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, called Xincai Optoelectronics. This company is the supplier of LCD screens on notebook computers. Jiachuang Technology holds the shares of Xincai Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. 205 and is its second largest shareholder

If you are interested in Li Sheng, you might as well call your stockbroker now to give it a try. As long as the notebook sales data released by Aikang in the afternoon is better than market expectations, Xincai's stock price is likely to skyrocket tomorrow."

Ding Zeming habitually regarded Li Xuan as his client, and couldn't help but actively bewitched. It's just that Li Xuan still had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be attracted by his analysis, which made him a little frustrated.

When Li Xuan introduced himself before, he only said his surname was Li, so Ding Zeming couldn't imagine that the man he was chatting with was the "God of Wealth Li" he mentioned several times. This also shows that Li Xuan's current disguise is extremely successful, and no one can recognize his true identity at all. To be continued.
