Chapter 832

Less than half an hour after the press conference ended, there were five people sitting in a small conference room outside the office of a major company in the island Japan. These five people were the group president, vice president of sales, vice president and director of the research institute, vice president of the research institute and general manager of the computer business department.

They either looked at the ceiling or closed their eyes to rest, ignoring the secretary who was cooking tea, and were sitting on their own sofas with relatively speechlessness.

The vice president of procurement came in and his body folded to 90 degrees, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

The president, who was sitting in the main seat, opened his eyes and said, "Please sit. This is an extraordinary meeting, it's not too late."

Then he started straight to the point, "I just received the news that Chongshi Group launched the TFT-LCD screen, and it has a consistent style of doing things: the time when the new product is released is the time when the new product is launched to the market."

"We have invested nearly 3 billion US dollars in R&D on TFT-LCD, and we can only produce in laboratories now, and we still have a long way to go before industrialization."

"I'm going to invite you to come today, just to hear everyone's opinions and summarize your future development strategies."

Except for the director and vice president of the institute, the other three were stunned.

This news was too sudden.

The vice president of sales asked in surprise, "How is it possible? Stn is about the same time as us. Looking at this, TFT will be launched at least half a year earlier than us. We can't catch up with the first-mover advantage of half a year... President, are you sure this news is correct?"

The president glanced at the director of the institute, who stood up and bowed, "Sorry, our work has dragged on. This news is accurate. We have reliable sources of intelligence in our main competitors and major markets."

"Joinshi Group has done a thorough job in confidentiality, which has prevented us from grasping their progress. However, the laptop product launch conference was held this morning, and it was not fake. At the meeting, the notebook has four new equipment, including zhousen4.0, zhousen    office3.0, keyboard with Little Red Riding Hood and TFT-LCD screen, which are all the most advanced technologies."

He was helpless. On Xiangdao, he sent three technical intelligence personnel; in the SAR, he developed four technical intelligence personnel. In other companies, he often gained something; but Chongshi here still gained something 85 years ago, but he has not gained anything since then.

He said bitterly, "We don't even know when they started studying TFT. It wasn't until this product launch that the research on the TFT project was conducted at the SAR Research Institute."

"After getting this news, we communicated for a while on the way to the President's office. Since the reincarnation has been launched, we should not be anxious. It is not that we do not launch it on time, but that we should do differently from the reincarnation."

The vice president secretly glanced at him, feeling very disagreeable.

You are all talking about whether it’s okay? How could I say a word?

The vice president of sales immediately became interested, "How is it different?"

The market's first-mover advantage is gone, and there are differences that can come from behind; if the new generation is ahead, they can make a breakthrough, and they can use the differences to wait for an opportunity to surpass them.

At this time, the dean seemed to be full of confidence again. He said in a loud voice, "Zhongshi Group has always paid attention to product quality. If we do better than them in this regard, our products will definitely be more popular and will regain their market."

"Their new laptop costs $15,000. If we announce that our TFT-LCD can last for fifty years, it will definitely be very competitive when the technology has not yet matured. And our products can also be priced higher than theirs, which is to defeat them in the areas they are good at."

The proposal was immediately agreed by the vice president of sales, "Yes, this is a good idea. If the price is exactly the same as theirs, the product that resembles TFT is not our competitor at all."

The vice president of procurement seemed to notice something was wrong. He said uncertainly, "If the service life of TFT is to be extended to fifty years, it means that the quality of raw materials and components will increase accordingly; in this way, how much will the cost of TFT increase? Have you considered it?"

The general manager of the computer business department said without hesitation, "This can be a reverse pressure mechanism. Our group is so big and there are so many suppliers, and there are always suppliers who will accept our conditions... Besides, those who are unwilling to accept our conditions can interrupt their supply in other aspects... Most suppliers still have to rely on us to survive."

Good quality and low price, isn’t such computer products exactly what he needs? Therefore, he should support this suggestion from the dean as soon as possible.

The sales president also nodded, "Indeed, our products have few other ways to defeat Chongshi Group. Only here can we win unexpectedly."

He has been suffering for a long time.

As long as the products that the group and Chongshi have, their market will shrink step by step, without any resistance, which makes him phobia for Chongshi. Now that he has the opportunity to defeat his opponent in one product, how can he not realize this coveted opportunity and be proud?

The vice president of procurement still insists on his own point of view, "I suggest that we consider this issue rigorously and calculate it carefully. If we want to ensure the service life of TFT within fifty years, how much cost will it need to be increased, what the market can accept, and how much profit space is."

His advice is very rational in both public and private.

But in the eyes of the dean, vice president of sales and general manager of the business department, he was shirking responsibility and did not want to work hard in this regard...

During the four people's subsequent debate, the president and vice president just listened without saying a word.

After arguing for a while, the president looked at the vice president, "You haven't said anything, because of what do you think?"

The latter looked at the dean and said very cautiously, "I agree with extending the lifespan. However, we should indeed calculate, calculate the ultimate interests, and even feasibility."

The president nodded and decided, "Don't argue about this issue. Calculate it and decide the strategy based on the results."

The meeting was caught in a debate at the beginning, and he was not happy. "The products of Chongshi Group Research Institute have always been far ahead in their peers. We must find a way to suppress them. If the enterprises are not good, the government can always come forward. What do the research institute thinks about this?"

The president understood, "The United States established a semiconductor manufacturing technology strategic alliance in 1987, which greatly exclusion effect on Chongshi Research Institute, causing many of their cooperative projects to be terminated. Since then, although Chongshi Research Institute has conducted independent research on these cooperative projects, the progress has been slowed down a lot."

"If Japan in our island also sets up some alliances, such as the LCD alliance, secretly competing for the reincarnation, their research progress will also slow down, and this is our opportunity."

The vice president shook his head slightly, "The United States used the means to deal with us to deal with Chongshi, and the effect was not very obvious. The Semiconductor Alliance allowed Chongshi Research Institute to start its own business in many projects, but their development is not slow, and it is still faster than the United States."

"In some fields, they blocked us for so long, but as a result, our island Japan is still far ahead of them in the fields of machine tools, semiconductors, automobiles, steelmaking, home appliances, etc.."

He is a pure technician and does not agree with such means from the bottom of his heart, so he made a statement with reasonable and reasonable point of view.

The dean is not a fool, he saw that. The vice president neither agreed with the previous reverse pressure mechanism nor agreed with the use of the government's power to deal with the Chongshi Group.

His face looked a little bad, "It is always good to delay some time. During this period, we can surpass it. If we do nothing, their development will be faster. In this case, we must create difficulties for them without difficulties. If we can stop for a while, it will be a while."

"As far as I know, they have more than 30 technical cooperation in our country, covering six aspects such as machinery manufacturing, semiconductor research, and liquid crystals. If the government introduces policies to prohibit those partners from continuing, the six research branches alone will definitely not be completed on schedule. This is the opportunity for Japanese companies in our island!"

The general manager of the business department immediately agreed, "Yes. If we blockade, we will gain a rare development time, and it is entirely possible to surpass them during this period."

This proposal was quickly decided by the president: urging the government to introduce its own restrictions on foreign technical cooperation...

The dean is responsible for the calculation.

After the implementation of the reverse pressure mechanism, it caused complaints from suppliers, and many high-quality suppliers had to evacuate, resulting in a lot of twists and turns in their LCD production.

What's even more serious is that with the entry of US TFT-LCD, the price of laptops plummeted, causing their LCD production lines to be suspended and almost acquired by Nanbangguo's company.
