Chapter 476: The Liquid Crystal and Plasma Controversy
Chapter 476 The Liquid Crystal and Plasma Controversy
Tian Sichun went shopping on the street with Wu Xinhui and Lu Dacheng, and Hu Yang then made a phone call to Liu Jin.
"Mr. Hu, have you already arrived in the imperial capital? Why don't you tell me in advance, I'll pick you up at the airport." Where are you now? I happen to be in the city on an errand, so I'll go find you." β
When Liu Jin heard that Hu Yang himself had arrived in the capital, he planned to meet him as soon as possible.
"I'm in the courtyard on Beichizi Street, if you're going to come here now, come here to find me. β
Hu Yang said in his heart, fortunately, he made a phone call in advance. Otherwise, if you go directly to Dongfang Technology, you will definitely make a splash.
Putting down the phone, less than forty minutes later, Liu Jin came to the door.
"Tsk, Mr. Hu, you are really willing. Look, your window frames are made of rosewood, and this tea table is rosewood?"
The poplar courtyard house is antique, and in the process of renovation, including the furniture that was built later, a lot of precious wood was used.
"Haha, I don't know much about that. However, since it is a courtyard house, the overall style must be in line with the Chinese tradition, and people can use whatever they say......"
Hu Yang said a word, and Liu Jin stopped the topic in a timely manner.
"Mr. Hu, I want to meet with you this time, the main purpose is to discuss with you about the construction of the sixth generation TFT-LCD production line. At present, the plasma screen launched by Panasonic, Pioneer and other companies has quickly occupied the market of high-end display devices, forcing us to accelerate the pace of technological progress. β
The fifth-generation production line of Dongfang Technology has been built and put into mass production. The yield rate of the product is also very good, and the economic benefits are becoming more and more apparent.
But in the case of a good situation in Oriental science and technology,Panasonic and pioneer and other companies suddenly made efforts to plasma display frequency,The high-end plasma TV it launched,As soon as it was listed, it was sought after by many peopleγ
To tell the truth, the plasma screen has inherent advantages in technology, and its brilliant colors, screen tolerance and dynamic contrast are better than LCD screens.
However, due to plasma display technology, the intellectual property rights are in the hands of a few R-series manufacturers, who not only take strict confidentiality measures for this technology, but also take many restrictions on the supply of panels.
As a result, most display device manufacturers can only focus on TFT-LCD (liquid crystal) display technology.
Just like Dongfang Technology, under great pressure, the company has successfully developed the 6th generation TFT-LCD display technology and is eager to build a new production line.
This new production line is to compete with plasma products for the high-end market, and the low-end market can be handed over to the fifth generation of products. At present, the production cost of the 5th generation of products has been greatly reduced, and the company has achieved three points in the world with the two giants of S Star and LG by using the low-price strategy.
"Mr. Liu, you know that I have always supported the technological progress of enterprises. However, for plasma display technology, it is not as fearful. You think, a technology that is only in the hands of a few manufacturers, in order to dominate the market, has actually lost the best opportunity to promote. β
Hu Yang clearly remembers that the plasma TV in the previous life finally fell flat and completely disappeared from the market after a few years of hustle and bustle.
The main reason is that a few manufacturers who have mastered key technologies are complacent, and most manufacturers can only invest heavily to promote the progress of TFT-LED technology.
As TFT-LCD display technology gradually overcomes some obvious defects, its cost-effective advantages will be highlighted.
The advantages of plasma display devices are no longer there, the range of options is very narrow, and the price is high, so they are naturally abandoned by the majority of consumers.
"Mr. Hu, I admit that what you said makes sense, but we can't do nothing in the past few years, right? β
Liu Jin Hu Yang was a little excited, Hu Yang looked at him very strangely, and said:
"Mr. Liu, why are you so excited? I didn't say I would support you. The question is, Dongfang Technology's asset-liability ratio has been high, and you are thinking about financing the construction of the 6th generation TFT-LCD production line, is this a bit too radical?"
Liu Jin also knew that his careful thinking could not hide from Hu Yang, he smiled and put on a posture of whatever you say, my attitude is like this.
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly a little delicate.
Hu Yang remembered that Dongfang Electronics in that time and space had come over like this in the past ten years. borrowed new accounts to repay old debts, and relied on loans to get out of the encirclement.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, I'm afraid of you. Say, how much more financing will be needed this time?"
Hu Yang didn't intend to embarrass Liu Jin, but he didn't dare to agree too quickly, lest Liu Jin have to look at Shu.
"This time, the total investment in the construction of the sixth-generation production line is only about 1 billion US dollars, that is, about 8 billion yuan. At present, the company can raise about 1 billion yuan, and the funding gap is 7 billion yuan. β
Liu Jin crossed his fingers and carefully explained to Hu Yang one by one, and then hoped that Hu Yang could help Dongfang Technology raise 7 billion yuan.
"Mr. Liu, I can't answer you right away about this. In this way, if you give me a few days, before I leave the capital, I will definitely give you an affirmative statement. β
Hu Yang actually plans to take out some funds from the high-tech venture capital fund to support Dongfang Technology. But he didn't want to agree too happily, and planned to hang Liu Jin for two days. In addition, he needed to ask Liang Yu to come and make a comprehensive assessment of the project.
"Cheng, I'm relieved to have your words. What's the matter, Mr. Hu, I'll invite you to drink Erguotou at night. When the time comes, let's call Mr. Xu together, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return. β
Liu Jin accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't urge Populus euphratica too much. In fact, Hu Yang is already very interesting to Dongfang Technology, and to a certain extent, he has done far more than what a major shareholder should do.
"Drink less wine in the evening, let's go eat roast duck." β
Hu Yang was not good when he arrived in the capital on the first day, so he left Tian Sichun alone at home. After thinking about it, he decided to take her to Quanjude to eat roast duck in the evening.
"No problem, you Mr. Hu spoke, do I dare not do it? You wait, I'll call now." β
After Liu Jin finished speaking, he immediately began to call to make a reservation, and arranged the evening activities in less than five minutes.
Before half past five in the afternoon, Tian Sichun, Wu Xinhui, and Lu Dacheng returned to the courtyard with large bags and small bags.
"Chunchun, don't clean it up yet, someone invites you to eat roast duck at night, we have to leave now." β
Liu Jin arranged the dinner for the evening and left the courtyard first. Hu Yang saw that the time was almost now, so he urged Tian Sichun and the others to hurry out.
Lu Dacheng was on duty in the courtyard at night, so he didn't go together, and Ye Chong would arrange for someone to send him his dinner and luggage.
After eating, Hu Yang and the others came out of the restaurant, and Hu Yang and the others walked around Qianmen Street again, and it was already more than ten o'clock when they returned to the hotel.
Tian Sichun ran all afternoon, a little tired, and went to bed early after taking a bath.
Hu Yang sat at the desk in the suite and called Liang Yu, asking him to come to the capital tomorrow and have an important job to hand over to him.
Following.
After breakfast, Hu Yang and the others left the hotel room and then came to the courtyard.
"Chunchun, you stay here and pack up slowly, I need to go out for a while. I'll be back at noon and wait for me to eat together. β
Hu Yang plans to go to the construction site of the Kyoto Building in the morning, but the Beijing company does not need to rush to go, anyway, there is still time in the next few days.
"Ah Yang, why don't we cook our own food at noon? Everything is all ready here, I'll go buy some vegetables and come back." β
In the courtyard, Ye Chong asked people to prepare rice, noodles, cooking oil, condiments, etc. in advance, but they needed to buy vegetables by themselves.
Tian Sichun felt that it was the first time for him and Hu Yang to stay here, and they should cook by themselves.
"Won't it be too troublesome? In this way, I will tell Manager Ye later, and ask him to arrange someone to come over to cook in the next two days. β
Hu Yang thought about it, but he still couldn't bear to let Tian Sichun be too tired. As soon as Ye Chong was mentioned, someone rang the doorbell at the gate.
Lu Dacheng ran over and opened the door to see that it was Ye Chong who came.
"Mr. Hu, look at the shortcomings here, I'll go back and have someone send it over. β
Ye Chongduo will come to things, and as soon as he enters the door, he asks if Hu Yang is still lacking any items.
"The little things have been purchased, Manager Ye, you can arrange a chef to come over, and he will cook for us in the next few days." β
Ye Chong came at the right time, and Hu Yang explained this matter to him by the way.
"Okay, no problem. β
After Ye Chong finished speaking, he went to the side to make a phone call. In less than an hour, a man and a woman came. The men are about forty years old, and the women look a few years younger.
"Mr. Hu, they are two people. The man used to be the chef of a restaurant, and the woman was his helper. Let them cook a meal at noon for you to taste, and if you think it's okay, let them cook it here for a few days. β
Ye Chong didn't introduce too much, and Hu Yang didn't bother to ask.
Leaving Lu Dacheng and Wu Xinhui, he took Li Jie and Ye Chong to the construction site of the Kyoto Building.
Looking around, Populus euphratica is generally satisfied, but the progress of the project is a little slower. However, given the climatic conditions in the north, this progress is still within an acceptable range.
Others, such as engineering supervision, construction specifications and safety, are well done, and the quality is not faulty.
"Manager Ye, I am quite satisfied with all aspects of the construction project of Kyoto Building. I hope you don't slack off, and you must strive to complete the project on time on the premise of ensuring quality. β
Hu Yang didn't say much, the meaning of this sentence must have been deeply understood by Ye Chong.
"Mr. Hu, don't worry, I will always keep an eye on this project. β
Ye Chong made a guarantee, and Hu Yang estimated that the entire project still had hope to be completed on time.
At this time, Hu Yang's mobile phone rang. Wu Xinhui called and said that Liang Yu had just gotten off the plane and had arrived at the Beijing airport.
