Unlike chip manufacturing, LCD projects are far less politically affected than the chip industry in global competition.

The favorite of the Korean electronic LCD giants in later generations is to gain a leading market share in the global market through counter-cyclical price wars for many years.

However, the huge investment in the operation of the counter-cyclical price war is not something that anyone can play, and Hyundai Electronics took the lead in kneeling and could only sell the panel production line to survive.

Subsequently, BOE in the mainland successfully acquired the Hyundai STD-LCD business.

If this is an advanced production line for the production of chips, then the transaction is absolutely impossible, but the LCD production line can.

This is also the reason why Xu Zhi intends to place the LCD production line in Xiangjiang, which will not be subject to too much political interference, of course, the LCD technology in this era is still the traditional TN-LCD liquid crystal technology, that is, the LCD screen on the traditional calculator, and you will find that there are rows of 88888 ...... above it when you look at it obliquely at an angle.

TN-LCD liquid crystal technology is not suitable for laptops in later generations, but it can be placed on calculators, industrial displays, watches, alarm clocks, radios, tape recorders and other products, the current market size is not large, even if it is only in Xiangjiang, there is a demand for tens of millions of pieces, because Xiangjiang is the world's largest electronic watch production base.

These orders have been won by several LCD companies in Japan before, but Midea has reached cooperation with many Xiangjiang factories, and once the production line of the new LCD factory starts, it will be enough to seize back a part of the market.

Ma Shimin said: "Chairman, if we want to maintain an economic system of hundreds of thousands of people, it is not enough to rely on the jobs created by our own companies, we must attract other companies to invest, not only need industry, the most in Xiangjiang are various financial institutions and trading companies, if we can attract these people in large quantities, we can also create a large number of jobs." ”

"Then what do you have a good idea?" Xu Zhi asked, he also agreed with this point of view, only with the Golden Bull Beverage and LCD factory, it is good to be able to directly and indirectly maintain the employment of tens of thousands of people, not to mention that it will take many years of operation to achieve Xu Zhi's expected goal, in case it is not reached, the number of jobs will be further reduced.

Want to support a town of hundreds of thousands of people, in addition to a super oil field like Daqing, the only non-heavy industry is similar to the later Foxconn this large-scale electronic production base, this kind of base is actually according to the development of the United States, can be provided in the future, but the key problem is that after entering the 90s, housing prices in Xiangjiang skyrocketed, labor costs also rose, the electronics industry has no soil for survival here, and even the ordinary manufacturing industry has moved to the mainland.

Ma Shimin said: "The housing prices in Xiangjiang are already too high, and even if the chairman estimates that a real estate crisis will break out in the future, the decline will be limited, and it will be difficult to return to the level of the early 70s."

Rent has become a serious burden for many trading companies, many of which have moved from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon and from Kowloon to Yuen Long.

If we build a number of commercial office buildings on the land in Tin Shui Wai, because the land price is basically zero, then the rent can be reduced very low, as long as the surrounding supporting facilities are complete, it can definitely attract many companies.

And once the company comes, then it creates jobs, we can sell homes for a profit, and we can stimulate business development, which is a big win for everyone.

The same approach can also be used in industrial office buildings, which can be used to attract some small factories. ”

"Yes, good way, but forget about industrial office buildings. Xu Zhi smiled and nodded, Ma Shimin is indeed powerful, this method is at least theoretically feasible, but he doesn't know what kind of level the people's union in Xiangjiang will reach in the future, the traditional industry of Xiangjiang will disappear at the end of the 80s, and the industrial office buildings will naturally disappear.

Xu Zhi continued: "The Tin Shui Wai Town Plan is the most important project in the next few years, which requires the cooperation of several major companies, today's meeting is here, you go back and think about what other good ways can help Tin Shui Wai develop the economy and attract business opportunities, in addition, this project is currently top secret, once leaked out, it will affect the entire Heung Kong real estate market." ”

"Understood. Everyone nodded.

Xu Zhidao: "The meeting was dissolved, and He Guoyuan stayed." ”

After the others left, He Guoyuan opened the file bag, handed Xu Zhi a document, and said, "Chairman, this is the sales data of the entire Midea company in the first half of the year. ”

Xu Zhi took it and looked at it carefully:

Midea's main products are currently divided into games, computers and software, and home appliances.

In the first half of the year, 107,000 arcade machines were sold worldwide, and the net profit was as high as $120 million.

Home consoles sold 1.88 million units, 4.2 million cassettes and a net profit of $160 million.

The handheld Gameboy sold 7 million and had a net profit of $15 million.

The Honor 1 series sold 54,000 units of computers with a net profit of $25 million, and the Commodore C64 sold 900,000 units, but it took the route of small profits and quick turnover, with a profit of only $16 million.

The main business in household appliances is color televisions, with sales of 2.2 million units in the first half of the year, with a loss of $35 million.

There are a few others, but the scale is too small, and the total proportion is not even a percentage point.

After reading it, Xu Zhi said: "How is the negotiation with Samsung in the TV production business?"

He Guoyuan said: "Li Bingze of Samsung Group rejected our request to take a stake in Samsung Electronics, no matter how I bid, they refused to accept, he only promised that when Samsung Electronics needs to introduce shareholders or go public in the future, he can give priority to our Midea as a shareholder." ”

"It's kind of funny, this guy is so tough. Xu Zhi frowned and said, the scale of Samsung Electronics in this era is far inferior to that of the United States, and it is still unwilling to sell shares on the condition of huge orders, it seems that Li Bingze is also very optimistic about his own Samsung Electronics.

But then again, it's right, if you don't have a vision, it is impossible to hand over Samsung to Lee Kun-hee, you know, South Korea's chaebols are all about the principle of passing on the elders and not passing on the young, and Lee Byung-taek is the first head of the Korean consortium to break this rule.

Xu Zhi continued: "Since you don't agree, forget it, you mobilize some funds to enter South Korea, and then buy Samsung Group shares directly on the stock market." ”

He Guoyuan asked: "The chairman is so optimistic about Samsung Group?"

"Sort of, and now South Korea's economic development is rapid, and it is already one of the four Asian tigers, and Samsung is one of its top consortia, so you won't lose money if you invest. Xu Zhi smiled and asked again: "What happened to Samsung Electronics and our TV OEM?"

"Samsung Electronics has submitted the price, and I think it's good, but Lee Kun-hee still hopes that their Samsung Semiconductor's memory chips can also get orders from Midea. He Guoyuan said: "I didn't agree to this matter. ”

"Then let them send samples first, if the quality is okay, the price is okay, just give some orders! But don't give too much. Xu Zhi nodded in agreement.

The rise of Samsung Electronics will not be swayed by its own order, not to mention that the most powerful semiconductor company is Japan now, so it is also a good choice for Samsung to attract firepower in the front.
