Chapter 030 Television Industry

Sifang Electron Tube Factory entered the pit color TV industry, and we have to start with the development of the domestic color TV industry.

The development of the television industry of the Republic of China started in the 50s of the 20th century, and the color TV industry started in the 70s: in 1971, China's first batch of transistor color televisions were successfully trial-produced, and in 1972, China's first 19-inch color picture tube was successfully trial-produced...... During this period, the leapfrog development of the movement from transistor circuits to integrated circuits was completed.

After entering the 80s, thanks to the country's policy of reform and opening up, the republic's electronics industry, especially the color TV industry, actively introduced foreign technology, and determined 112 color TV production lines nationwide, with a total of more than 50 brands, production equipment and complete sets of parts and parts introduced in various forms, so that the republic began his development road at a higher starting point, and began the "planned market economy era".

In the mid-80s, the rapid development of the republic's color TV industry production capacity grew rapidly, and it is very likely to lead to overcapacity (85 years of production capacity of 4 million units, 86 years is 7 million units), the Ministry of Electronics Industry reformulated the policy to control imports, and at the same time put forward the strategic deployment of color TV localization, to avoid being controlled by others.

As of 1987,The localization level of color TV has reached more than 85%,And by 1990,It was also at the beginning of this year,After all the relevant projects of the one-stop plan for the localization of color TV were completed,The degree of localization of color TV has reached more than 95%.

After several years of development, through localization has driven a large number of basic component factories, the development of raw material industry, color TV and its supporting components, components occupy a pivotal position in the electronic industry of the Republic, according to the output value, accounted for more than 60% at that time.

Military enterprises such as Sifang Electronics, with the gradual reduction of military orders, under the guidance of the national "military to civilian" policy, have also begun to develop and produce consumer electronic products, and color TVs have also become the key development product direction. Although it did not directly enter the production of color TVs, it took advantage of its own technical advantages, and after the introduction of domestic second-hand mobile cell circuit board production lines, Sifang Electron Tube Factory also successfully entered the supply chain of supporting products for the color TV industry, and cooperated with a small factory to produce TVs.

At that time, according to the factory's plan, it was ready to launch a color TV production line, but later the funds for the introduction of Toshiba technology went wrong, and this plan was abandoned. But the TV business is really hot, so the factory bought a second-hand, possibly third-hand color TV production line from other factories, but it still needs some funds to restore this production line, but the funding gap cannot be solved for a long time, so the factory was forced to resell the production line, leaving only a small production line for the production of core movements. In the end, I simply found a production company to cooperate in the production of color TVs. The Quartet side is responsible for the movement, and the rest of the other party is in charge, including sales.

It's just that I haven't made any money yet,I encountered89The big price reduction of color TVs,There was originally a profitable cooperative brand TV,Suddenly there was no profit,I thought that the price reduction and loss of money was only temporary,The movement production line has not stopped,But I didn't expect that after this,The price of color TV has never gone up,Even with the gradual release of the production capacity of the introduction of color TV production lines across the country,The price of color TV has been slowly decreasing,In the end, the hole of loss is getting bigger and bigger,All of a sudden, the money earned in the past few years was lost。

At that time, the Changhong family in Sichuan Province alone had a backlog of nearly 200,000 color TVs in the first half of 1989, occupying 320 million yuan in funds, and there was a serious shortage of funds. Finally, with the consent of the state,Changhong color TV price reduction600Yuan or more,Through this price reduction, Changhong quickly expanded its market share,At the same time, a large number of backlogs of color TVs were quickly produced。 But in this way, the price of color TV has been knocked down, and the price of 18-inch color TV has dropped from nearly 3,000 yuan to about 2100.

Such a price reduction is almost a devastating blow to the average small factory. This is the case with small factories that work with Sifang.

Since then, the first reform after the interruption of military orders from the Sifang Electron Tube Factory ended in failure, and the harvest was thousands of color TVs in stock.

In fact, according to Yu Zixian's understanding, in terms of the localization of key supporting devices for color TV, such as electronic tuners and line output transformers, localization has been realized. Up to now,The localization rate of color TV has reached95%,The only thing that has not been reached is the integrated block of the core part of the color motor core,That is, integrated circuit chips,It cannot be supplied completely independently。

With the continuous development of TV technology and the increasing variety of TV functions, it is necessary to continuously improve the design and perfection of the integrated circuit chip core, the core of the functional control module, to achieve new functions. The design, finalization, and manufacturing of chips are not only the shortcomings of the color TV industry of the Republic, but also the weakness of the entire electronics industry of the Republic.

This deficiency has accompanied the growth of the Republic's electronics industry and has not improved much, including nearly three decades since then.

This is where the hat of "lack of cores and fewer screens" in the Republic TV industry comes from this, and it begins!

The later generation of Sifang electron tube is from 95 years, into the field of liquid crystal industry, after 20 years, completely solved the problem of "lack of core and less screen" in the "less screen".

At this time, Yu Zixian, who was already a middle-level cadre in Sifang Semiconductor Factory, hoped to ...... for ten years No, ten years later, it can help the republic's TV industry solve the problem of "lack of cores and fewer screens", and even help the republic's integrated circuit industry embark on a different path of development!

Of course, he knows that the current chip industry is limited by the "Batumi" embargo, and it will be difficult for the chip industry to develop......

Speaking of stock color TVs, Liu Jian should know best.

After the small meeting, Yu Zixian specifically asked Liu Jian to learn about the stock of color TVs.

"Isn't the other party in charge of sales? How did it become our inventory?" Yu Zixian was even more curious.

"This is the payment that the other party pays us after our movement is sent to the other party for production. ”

"Ah, if you can't sell the TV, you can deduct it for us?

"yes, we don't want it either, but we still have to? We owe a debt to the bank. ”

"Isn't that a cheat?"

"If we don't want it, we won't be able to collect all the money we have sent out, and the other party has stopped work and is about to go bankrupt. ”

“……”

Yu Zixian didn't know what to say. This may be the tuition fee that various state-owned enterprises that have suddenly stepped into the market economy system from the era of planned economy and have not adapted to it.

"How much inventory is there? How much is it worth? ”

"There can be a total of 5,000 units in stock, and the total value can be nearly 10 million according to the previous market price. Of course, this is an estimate, and at the moment, it must be less than that. ”

With the development of other people's color TV technology, the value of these color TVs will only get lower and lower. ”

"Yes, we also know, but if we sell it now, we are facing the problem of serious losses, before the factory found a person, according to the batch of 100 units to start, the price of one is only 1500 yuan, so that a loss of at least 600 yuan, 5,000 units, nearly 3 million. No one in the factory can do this now. ”

Yu Zixian knows what the factory is afraid of, involving the loss of state-owned assets, if the loss is too serious, it will definitely be held accountable and held accountable by the above. In the end, it can only be delayed for one day, and the price of color TVs has been reduced, only to the point that it can't be delayed, and the factory is shut down, and finally completely bankrupt and closed......
