Chapter 924 Mitsui in action
Chapter 924 Mitsui is in action
RB electronics manufacturers mainly consider competition from European and American companies in the global market, and the same is true in the Chinese market.
After Chi Zuoxue came to China, he adjusted the penetration strategy of Mitsui's member companies in the Chinese electronics market, which is also due to RB companies' long-term thinking on the Chinese market. In addition to brands that directly enter the Chinese market, more mid- and low-end products are mainly based on technology and capital penetration, which can also ensure the input of electronic components into the Chinese market, thereby ensuring the interests of RB's domestic electronics industry.
The existence of Kumho and the Digital Mobile Phone Technology Promotion Association has caused great resistance to this strategy of Chi Sasa Hidezo in the field of digital mobile phones.
According to the long-term observation of Kumho by the Mitsui Economic Research Department (this observation was only started by Hirozo Chi personally promoted it after he came to China), the huge profits obtained by Kumho's subsidiary Aida Group in consumer electronics and the huge profits obtained from cooperation with Deyi and Scope were not blindly used for diversified expansion, but invested as much as possible in the R&D department to ensure continuous technological progress. This also makes Oak Park unique and brilliant in China's R&D environment. In addition to promoting the rapid development of the Kumho component department, it also prompts Kumho to take key steps to technical service suppliers. This year, Kumho gradually provided a number of important mobile phone technologies to the association member companies for a fee through the Digital Mobile Phone Technology Promotion Association.
If the situation develops like this, Chi Saho-shuzo's penetration strategy will completely fail in the field of digital mobile phones, and the versatility of information technology is very strong, and this situation will also spread to other consumer electronic products fields.
Another thing that made Hina Hirohiko Chi was very worried: after Toshiba joined, the DMP (portable digital audio player MP3) camp grew rapidly.
Although the IPlayer is a registered trademark of Kumho, the market seems to be accustomed to calling a portable DMP player an IPlayer. Just as people are used to calling a portable tape player a walkman, walkman is actually a Sony-specific name.
"Mr. Ge should know this, right?" Chi Zuoxue took out a Toshiba latest-made IPlayer and pushed it in front of Ge Jiande.
Although Kumho did not sell the IPlayer in the domestic market, Ge Jiande still recognized it. At this time, the products launched by each company were similar. Toshiba's industrial design seemed to be not as exquisite as Kumho's exquisiteness and elegance. He held Toshiba's latest IPlayer in his hand. The milky white aluminum shell body was only the size of a palm, which was exquisite and compact than the common walkman in the domestic market, and it was much lighter in weight. He held it in his hand and weighed it with a smile: "Of course I recognize it, but unfortunately the price is too high, and it relies on the popularity of computers, which is completely unsuitable for the Chinese market. I am curious why Kumho can develop this product... I don't know how the sales volume in the overseas market?"
"The global market's monthly shipments have not exceeded 80,000 by the first half of the year," Chi Zuoxue said straight, "But I just got a data yesterday, and the shipments of the IPlayer in September have exceeded 200,000..."
"Ah!" Ge Jiande was slightly shocked, and then he realized why Chi Zuoxue mentioned Kumho to him so seriously.
Ge Jiande is not an ignorant person. He knows that the monthly shipment of portable MD is only 600,000 pieces under the promotion of many RB electronic giants such as Sony, Panasonic, Sharp. The key is that MD has been commercially produced in 1992, and the first one in Kumho was officially put into commercial production at the beginning of this year. Although the important factor in this situation is that MD product technology has always been in control of a few Japanese electronic giants such as Sony, Panasonic, Sharp. However, Kumho has widely authorized the IPlayer product technology in the global market from the beginning, it is undeniable that idioryer has great potential to become a mainstream product in the portable audio market.
Ge Jiande knew that Toshiba began to launch their IPlayer products in mid-August, but he didn't expect Toshiba to join the DMP camp to play such a big role. In addition to Toshiba's use of semiconductor storage technology to exchange for complete DMP technology from Kumho, only Kumho always masters the core technology of DMP, which means that Kumho has a core product that can open the global market. There is no need to ask how much Kumho accounts for in September's 200,000 shipments. This is meaningless. What is certain is that in this product, no other manufacturer has the strength to compete with Kumho. Before the market is saturated, will Toshiba compete directly with Kumho? The answer is obviously no. This means that Kumho may use the IPlayer to establish a global brand image.
Ge Jiande did not feel any pride in this way, but instead a chill came out of his back: Jinhu is really cold and groaning.
Ji Zushuzo looked at Ge Jiande's reaction and smiled slightly, thinking to himself: It's true that he is afraid of Kumho! He leaned forward slightly to help Ge Jiande continue tea, put down the teapot, and took out a flash disk produced by Toshiba, which was long and the size of an adult man's middle finger. He said: "This kind of instant storage disk was launched in June, and Toshiba was only released in mid-August. Now the industry has a high evaluation of this product. It is optimistic that it will replace the application of floppy drives in computers-"
It's really embarrassing fact that the Jin Great Wall Computer, a subsidiary of Huaxia Electronics, is a company that manufactures and distributes computers. It ranks only in China by Lenovo, Tsinghua Tongfang and Founder. Ge Jiande knew very well that floppy drives are the standard configuration of computers, which means that the size of the computer market is, the size of the floppy drives. In 1997, although the sales of personal computers in the domestic market exceeded 3 million, the global personal computer sales were close to 90 million. It is easy to imagine how much market potential of this instant storage disk launched by Kumho is - Ge Jiande really suspected that Chi Zuoxuezang was coming to attack him hard today, biting his lip and staring at the flash drive on the table that was only the size of an adult middle finger, without saying anything.
Chi Zuoxue sighed slightly and asked again: "There is something I want to ask Mr. Ge..."
"Please say it."
"Why can Kumho be so close to the Indonesian Chen, Ma and He families?" Chi Zuoxuezhao stared at Ge Jiande with bright eyes.
"Oh," Ge Jiande knew that Kumho could exert influence in the process of Chinese capital fleeing Indonesia, which attracted the attention of others, but he knew nothing about the inside story behind it. Otherwise, he would never keep this secret for Kumho. Even the senior central government officials did not know what the inside story was hidden behind it. He said, "I don't know much. Kumho has had contact with the Guo family in Malaysia for a long time. Perhaps it may be that the trust of the three major Chinese merchant families in Indonesia through the Guo family..."
Chi Zuoxue was a little disappointed. He held his knees with his hands, sat upright and said, "My Nakamura and I plan to conduct comprehensive strategic cooperation with Huaxia Electronics. The depth of cooperation will far exceed the precedent of Sino-Japanese corporate cooperation. Even if we are considered advanced electronic product technology in our country, I will consider promoting the transfer of Mitsui member companies, including NEC, to Huaxia Electronics, so that Huaxia Electronics has the ability to surpass Kumho in all respects... Of course, what does Huaxia Electronics need, you might as well issue an order first."
After hearing what Chi Zuoxuezang said, Ge Jiande was naturally extremely excited. He didn't expect to hear such exciting news when the night was getting darker. But he thought to himself: Chi Zuoxuezang is a charming girl. Thinking of Li Xinyu's peerless face, it really makes Chi Zuoxuezang deeply resentful to Zhang Ke.
After talking for a while, Ge Jiande said goodbye and left, Chi Zuoxuezang's secretary came over and removed Ge Jiande's teacup.
Yuyu Nakamura took a sip and said, "He doesn't know anything. In RB, he is not qualified to manage such a large enterprise."
"You have been in China for so many years, don't you know that being a person is more important than doing things in China?" Chi Zuoxue said with a smile on her lips, but the worry on her face has not faded. "Does the people in China not believe that such powerful enterprises can grow on the soil of China?"
Yuyuu Nakamura smiled awkwardly. Just last month, Hirozo Ikesa came to discuss the investment of Kowang. He still had some doubts. Only then did he realize that the investment and support for Kowang's scale was far from enough.
In early September, Chi Zuoxue watched Zhang Ke and Li Xinyu live together half-naked. At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to strangle Zhang Ke to death. It was because of his resentment that he formally attached importance to Kumho and mobilized Mitsui Products' intelligence search department to investigate everything about Kumho, and formally established a long-term observation mechanism for Kumho - Kumho enjoyed the same treatment as a consortium within Mitsui Products.
The deeper the research on Kumho, Chi Sahizo Hirozo felt that Kumho was not simple. Just when he was still studying Kumho Commercial's structure and business goals with extremely limited information, he learned that Kumho Commercial will actually lead the super-large engineering project of Xinting Dongshan Island, the construction of the port on Tengshan Island in Xinting. Moreover, the fact that Kumho Commercial was newly established in China, with the main purpose of integrating the rare metal resources in China, Hualien Mining made Chi Sahizo feel that Kumho took these steps since May and June this year are extremely ambitious - Kumho's ambition will seriously affect Mitsui's interests in China, and may not be limited to China.
Mitsui has been infiltrating China's economy for a total of twenty years. Although Mitsui's capital and technology export main destination was Southeast Asia, the Asian financial crisis caused Mitsui to suffer great losses in Southeast Asia. It is natural to learn from its mistakes. In the future, it is natural to use China as the main destination for capital and technology export. However, if Ren Jinho continues to develop in this pattern, it will definitely hinder Mitsui's interests in China.
Behind Kumho's ambition is the firm support of Southeast Asian Chinese business capital, which is something that Chi Satozo has been puzzled these days, and he can't get an answer from Ge Jiande. Of course, the prospect of Kumho's consumer electronics business also shocked Chi Satozo. The sudden increase in monthly sales of IPlayer in the global market in September seemed to indicate that Kumho's foundation will become deeper and deeper. After Chi Satozo obtained the shipment data of IPlayer in the global market in September, he clearly realized that Mitsui must have more and more clearly targeting Kumho's layout in China. He must first win over the senior management of Mitsui's member companies in China to support his plan - this is not just a personal grudge - Huaxia Electronics, but Kewang naturally became a part of his plan.
Zhang Ke didn't care about the details of the "Hundred Cities and Hundred Stores" plan. At night, he accompanied Song Peiming, Lu Yiguang and others to have dinner. After dinner, he went to the construction site of Jinhu New City to visit. He didn't know that Chi Zuoxuezang was already taking action against Jinhu so seriously at this time.
Lu Yiguang can be said to be a veteran of the three dynasties in Haizhou. From Ding Xiangshan as secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, he served as deputy secretary until Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian took the post of secretary of the listing party, he had no chance to be promoted. Speaking of which, he was also affected by the Ding Xiangshan case. Zhou Fuming pushed him at the critical moment before the Ding Xiangshan case, without any impact.
Zhang Ke was not sure whether Lu Yiguang had any resentment in his heart, but he believed that Lu Yiguang could see the situation clearly. Besides, the province arranged Lu Yiguang to serve as the director of the Municipal People's Congress, which was also a compensation for him. My uncle and Lu Yiguang had a very good relationship. Before, they could only be said to be a common friend. However, after the summer of 1994, the relationship became naturally closer. Zhang Ke rarely went back to Haizhou and had the opportunity to get close to Lu Yiguang. He still had to get closer - alienation could easily cause resentment.
"Don't you live in Haizhou at night?" Song Peiming asked Zhang Ke.
"Brother Ye and I are both people who can stay up late but not get up early," Zhang Ke said with a smile. "Instead of getting up early tomorrow to cross the river to Xinting, it is better to cross the river to Xinting at night. Only by talking about things in the morning will you be calm and don't have to doze off all day."
"Then Secretary Lu will go back and rest first. I will take Zhang Ke and the others to the ferry." Song Peiming said.
"I am also a person who can stay up late, and I will send it to the ferry..." Lu Yiguang said. He was a peerless friend of Tang Xueqian and Zhang Zhixing, but now, Jinhu has to look up at it, and seeing off at the ferry is nothing.
The wind was calm and the ferry in the south of Yilong Town was also as usual at night. There were not many vehicles to cross the river at night. After boarding the ferry, they crossed the river directly. There was no waiting line. In twenty minutes, they had already arrived at Beixia County north of Xinting. Dou Weitao, Secretary of the Xinting Municipal Party Committee, and Tao Shuyi, Executive Vice Mayor, greeted them at the ferry in Beixia County. Tao Shuyi, Executive Vice Mayor of Xinting, had served as the county party secretary in Beixia County before. Dou Weitao and Tao Shuyi crossed the door to meet people at Beixia, which naturally alarmed the party and government leadership team of the Beixia County Party Committee and County Government - Zhang Zhifei and Liang Junren were in Xinting. They didn't have to go to the ferry to pick up Zhang Ke and Ye Jianbin, but Dou Weitao and Tao Shuyi rushed over, and they could not help but accompany them.
