Chapter 246 Tianli Company
Tianli Company is a high-tech computer software development enterprise directly under the Electronics Department. They have been tracking mpeg decompression technology since last year. When Wanyan Company launched the first generation of VCD disc machines, Tianli realized that this was a potential huge market.
In order to have a place in the national vcd market, there are three options in front of Tianli Company. The first is to rely on Tianli Company's technical strength to break through the core technology of VCD, produce vcd disc machines, catch up, and compete with Wan Yan. The second is to watch the development of the situation and wait for Wan Yan to open the market before taking advantage of the situation. The third is to develop and develop the main components of the vcd disc machine.
In the face of these three options, Tianli Company further analyzed the market situation and its advantages and disadvantages. First, within this year and next year, many manufacturers will flock to the VCD assembly and whole machine market, and the competition among manufacturers will be very fierce. Secondly, Tianli Company has been engaged in computer software development in the past, with strong technical strength, and has been tracking mpeg decompression technology since last year. The main component of VCD is the decoding board. Domestic VCD disc manufacturers mainly rely on foreign imported decoding boards. The domestic market is blank and there is obvious gap.
In addition, decoding boards can be widely used in three fields: computers, vcd disks and vcd disks modified from cd machines, and the market demand is very large.
Another very realistic problem is that Tianli Company has never had the experience and strength to make home appliances.
Through the analysis of the above situation, Tianli Company decided to give full play to its technical advantages, play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and not produce vcd disc machines. Instead, it chose to quickly break through vcd core technologies, develop, and produce the main components of vcd disc machines, and use this as the goal to seize and fill the domestic market gap.
On this day, Manager Cheng of Tianli Company suddenly received a call from the department and asked him to come over.
Manager Cheng was a little surprised. His company said it was big or small, but he rarely dealt with leaders in the department. I don’t know what happened today. The department actually asked him to report to the minister. It was really strange.
However, he couldn't think too much. After all, he was the leader who spoke directly, so he simply cleaned up and rushed to the department. When he was headed by the receptionist, the person in charge of Minister Li, he found a young man with extraordinary demeanor sitting and talking.
Manager Cheng felt a little disappointed. It turned out that he was not a separate meeting!
However, when Minister Li saw Manager Cheng, he smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, come, let me introduce you to you. This is the boss of Fan's Investment Group, Mr. Fan Wubing."
Manager Cheng was shocked. He had heard about Fan's Investment Group, but he didn't know who Fan Wubing was. After all, the publicity in the past was not very high-profile. Everyone just speculated that the boss of this group should be surnamed Fan, and also knew that the PCfans Club was also a subsidiary of this group, but he never thought that the boss of Fan's Investment Group was such a young and student-like young man.
Of course, Manager Cheng would not doubt Minister Li's words. He would not just bring someone over to joke with him like this. The minister is busy with all kinds of things every day. When will he have such a good mood?
So he came forward enthusiastically and shook hands with Fan Wubing, "Hello, Mr. Fan, I have been recognizing my reputation for a long time."
It is true that I admire the name of Fan Investment Group for a long time, but I admire the name of Fan Wubing.
After Minister Li asked the two to sit down, he said to Manager Cheng, "I was not familiar with Mr. Fan before, but I had dealt with his sister Ms. Fan Ting, the president of PCFans. This time, Mr. Fan came here, and Boss Zhu introduced him. If you talk about some things, I will play a role in making a match."
Manager Cheng asked curiously, "What's the matter with Mr. Fan?"
He was indeed a little puzzled. Fan's Investment Group is a large consortium, and its investments are calculated at a scale of one billion or ten billion. His small company has an output value that cannot even reach the level of tens of millions. He has not developed any important things before. It is just a small fight. How could he be able to get to Fan Wubing's eyes?
Could it be that there is something that is really worthy of attention from Fan's Investment Group? After thinking about it, Manager Cheng had only thought about the newly developed VCD decoding board of his company, probably for this thing.
Sure enough, Fan Wubing didn't bother to ask about this question directly, "The decoding board of Cheng General Company should have been successfully developed, right?"
Manager Cheng was shocked and thought that he had guessed it. Mr. Fan was really powerful and had a quiet voice. He found out about the project he had developed before he had time to apply for a patent. Such talents are really rare. After all, his company is too small.
People can even know everything in such a small company. I really don’t know what else is not clear about? So Manager Cheng replied, “That was just developed in July, and it is still under testing. I am preparing to send it to relevant departments for testing and applying for national patents.”
He was scheming and did not ask Fan Wubing's source of information. If such a thing was asked in front of Minister Li, the other party would think that it was not stable enough. As for how the news reached Fan Wubing's ears, Manager Cheng began to think in his mind, who was from the company who leaked the news?
When Fan Wubing heard Manager Cheng's confirmation answer, he smiled and said, "It's true. Congratulations to you. This is filling the gap in China! I had planned to acquire a similar company abroad, but I heard that you have also developed a decoding board, so I took the liberty to come over and ask, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
Minister Li was confused by the side, not knowing what they were saying. It was the first time he heard someone mention it. However, when he heard what Fan Wubing said to fill a gap in the country, he knew that this was a good thing.
So Minister Li asked Manager Cheng, "Xiao Cheng, what is it? It's so mysterious?"
Manager Cheng replied, "Oh, it's a decoding board. There is a VCD machine on the market that can play hard disks. The decoding board we make is the main component of the VCD machine. So far, there is no precedent in China, and they all rely on imported from abroad. Unexpectedly, our decoding board was created and Mr. Fan got the news."
What this said is very interesting. In addition to explaining to Minister Li, he also teased Fan Wubing. He obviously expressed some dissatisfaction with his well-informed knowledge and some dissatisfaction with the confidentiality work within his company.
Minister Li heard the smell of Manager Cheng's words and smiled, "Haha, you comrade, you are a little emotional. Mr. Fan is not the kind of petty little person who can be fucked. If you can look at your projects, it means you have a glimpse of your face."
Fan Wubing smiled and waved his hand, "Minister Li, your words made me feel ashamed. Although we are also working on chip technology, we mainly develop general-purpose processors and memory, and mobile phones, but the decoding board is not involved, so I was a little happy to hear that Tianli Company made this thing. To be honest, I am now preparing to build a decoding board, so I came to worship the dock first to save time and conflicts, and no one can make money."
Manager Cheng was a little anxious after hearing Fan Wubing's words. Although their company has developed decoding boards, it is only incomplete. What is the difference between the decoding boards of foreign companies? This remains to be continued to be verified, not to mention that in the future, the other party will continue to launch various higher-grade decoding boards.
Moreover, one of the biggest problems with my company is that I have no marketing experience and have decoding boards, which can only provide components to other manufacturers. I still have to rely on VCD manufacturers to survive. However, the VCD market sales have been sluggish recently. Although everyone thinks that this market will become popular sooner or later, it is obviously not yet time. Who knows when it will explode?
But so many of his subordinates wanted to have a meal, but relying on the current results, and there was no mass production yet, Manager Cheng was not sure of winning. When he heard that Fan Wubing was going to do such things, he felt a little anxious.
What is Fan's Investment Group? If you want to compete with a small company like yourself, you don't need to guess what the result is. People come over and probably just want to see what the situation is like here?
So Manager Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you have to compete with a small company like us for a company as big as Mr. Fan? What you do are big projects, and it doesn't matter if one or the other is more. Our company is counting on this little thing for dinner!"
After hearing this, Minister Li also said to Fan Wubing, "Mr. Fan, you have to leave some room for our subordinate companies, right? A lot of people who are with their families must live--"
Fan Wubing waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Forget it, pretend I didn't say it!"
After pausing for a while, Fan Wubing said again, "But we are indeed establishing a project to develop this thing. Since Tianli Company has been developed, I am thinking about how not to have conflicts. Repeated investment is always bad. We spend more money and time, and your returns will be affected, and neither party has any benefits."
"That's right--" Manager Cheng heard Fan Wubing's words and thought that Mr. Fan was pretty good, at least he was willing to tell the truth.
