Chapter 308: The Liquid Crystal Controversy
The next day, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin came to Wang An Computer Company again to announce the company's transformation plan, and at the same time, renamed the company "Home of Excellence". In addition, $200 million has been injected for development.
The company's L has been changed to a gorgeous, shining sword, which is very cool!
On the morning of this day, Li Zetian has been discussing the specific development of the company with the senior management of the excellent home company, and specially selected a talent as C. This person is none other than John Chambers, the bull man who led Cisco to become a billion-dollar market capitalization in his previous life!!
With him as the C of the Home of Excellence, Li Zetian is much more at ease with this company.
Before leaving, Li Zetian patted John Chambers on the shoulder and smiled: "Do a good job!"
John Chambers nodded heavily, very moved in his heart, he was only a regional manager in Wang An Computer Company, and there were more than 20 people with a higher status than him, however, Li Zetian chose him.
"R.L., don't worry, I will definitely work hard to develop the House of Excellence!" he said.
"Hmm!" Li Zetian smiled and nodded.
In Li Zetian's plan, the home of excellence will develop into a company integrating product development, production and sales.
Excellence is a product brand, and Excellence Home is similar to Suning and American Electric, which is an electrical appliance shopping mall.
The media paid close attention to the situation of Wang An Computer Company, and three days later, the company held a press conference to announce the company's transformation and personnel appointments.
As soon as the news came out, it really stunned the major media.
"Wang An Computer Company not only changed its name, but also transformed into home appliances, doesn't R·L know that the current home appliance market is occupied by Japanese manufacturers?"
People are very confused.
Soon, some experts and professors came out to explain that Wang An Computer Company lagged behind other companies in the computer industry, and in addition, CRN·L already had Apple, Mango Computer and N Microsystems, and there was no need for Excellence Home to produce the same products and compete with them. Due to the excellent ability of Excellence House in the research and development of electronic products, it is also possible to transform home appliances. Moreover, CRN L does not have a home appliance company under his name, so presumably he will not leave this piece of fat without eating it!!
As soon as the experts explained, everyone understood.
On the Japanese side, Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi and other companies have all held their own meetings to discuss how to deal with the House of Excellence. After all, Li Zetian has strong financial resources, and with his support, the Home of Excellence is menacing and has to be guarded against.
"Aren't I just planning to enter the home appliance market, why are Sony, Panasonic and other companies all so scared?" Li Zetian said with a smile, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, obviously looking down on these companies.
Putting down the information in his hand, Li Zetian poured a glass of water to drink, and his heart was not as optimistic as it seemed. In the 80s and 90s, Japanese household appliances dominated the world, and it was naturally not simple. Even if the House of Excellence has the support of Li Zetian, it may not be able to defeat them!
But for now, there's a chance!
Li Zetian decided to invest all his chips in the development of LCD TVs.
The LCD panel is the most expensive component of the LCD TV,About this piece,Li Zetian must take it into his own hands。
Whether it is TV, desktop computer, notebook, tablet, handheld computer, mobile phone, T, B and other electronic equipment, all need to use LCD panels, as long as the scale is expanded, it can greatly reduce the production cost!!
It is only the end of the decade and the beginning of the decade that Japanese companies have mastered the production technology of TN-LCD and TFT-LCD, and the LCD industry has begun to develop rapidly. Since then, Japanese LCD panels have dominated the global market.
Therefore, Li Zetian can compete for the LCD panel market! He doesn't want to buy LCD panels from Japanese companies in the future!
After returning to Los Angeles from New York, he asked people to register an overseas offshore company, called Chronos Industries, with a registered capital of 100 million US dollars, specializing in the development and production of LCD panels. Subsequently, R&D centers were established in Japan and the United States to recruit R&D personnel.
"The top talent in LD, no matter what, you have to dig me to Chronos Industries!!" Li Zetian ordered to die!
Japan, Lao Tzu wants to catch up with the front and develop LCD panel production technology!
Li Zetian secretly thought in his heart that so many companies under his name need LCD panels, and the products are not afraid of not being sold, which is enough to develop Chronos Industries. At the same time, it also suppressed Japanese companies.
Ha ha......
Li Zetian laughed proudly in his heart.
In the month of the month, Chronos Industries swept like a storm in the United States and Japan!
A large number of LCD technical talents were poached into the company, which made many companies feel stunned.
"Is LCD so promising? It actually caused CRN·L to poach crazily?!"
For a time, tens of thousands of companies around the world are also ready to move, and they have also begun to recruit LCD technical talents.
"R.L., Chronos Industries is so blatant and crazy about digging up liquid crystal technical talents, aren't you worried?" Dongfang Yuqin frowned.
Yu Jingqiu agreed: "Yes, you should have kept a low profile earlier. ”
Li Zetian was not worried at all, but laughed loudly, "Hehe, low-key development is too slow, I just want to be high-profile, so that everyone notices that I want to vigorously develop LCD technology." After they learn the news, they will definitely pay attention to liquid crystal technology, so that they will be able to promote the development and popularization of liquid crystal technology!"
Li Zetian paused and said with a smile: "However, in the early stage of the development of LCD technology, the technology is not mature, the scale, the LCD panel must be expensive, and there are not many companies that can afford the LCD panel, resulting in the end many LCD manufacturers must go bankrupt and end up being merged, becoming the nourishment of other companies." But I'm not afraid, the companies under my name can use LCD panels. The greater the demand, the larger the scale, the lower the production cost. Chronos Industries' LCD panels are definitely much cheaper than other companies' LCD panels, and have a great price advantage, thus attracting other companies to use Chronos Industries' products. Such a cycle of conscience is like the 'Matthew effect', the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and in the end, it must be Chronos Industry that dominates the LCD panel market!!"
Hearing Li Zetian's explanation, the faces of the two women rippled with color, and they felt that Li Zetian was too smart.
The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose, and he smiled slightly, no way, who let my brother have too many resources, it is equivalent to hanging, how can other companies compete with him.
At this moment, Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi and other companies are all speechless.
Unexpectedly, after Li Zetian decided to enter the home appliance market, he would do such a big thing, which was too unreassuring. At present, they have to follow up on the research and development of LCD panel technology.
"You, this CRN·L, are you going to fight against our Sony company? The CRT CRT CRT technology we developed has not been long ago, and we wanted to sell it for a few more years, but now we are suddenly engaged in some kind of LCD TV! Do we follow, or not? If we don't, our TV sets may be eliminated; but if we do, our lead in CRT technology will be gone!"
"Alas,LCD TV is indeed better than CRT CRT picture tube TV,But the LCD panel is so expensive,The developed LCD TV,The cost must be very high,How many users will buy it......?"
"CRN L has a lot of money, and I guess he didn't care if the company could make money at first, and would rather lose money at a low price than occupy the TV market. ”
"Yes, it's very likely that it is. In the early days of Microsoft's development, the company's operating system was very low, even several times lower than the operating systems of other companies at that time, however, through the low-price strategy, Microsoft's operating system quickly occupied the market and formed a monopoly advantage. If you look at Microsoft now, you can see how correct the strategy was at that time! Also, the game consoles launched by Flamingo are also very low...... Examples like this have been used many times. It can be seen that in the TV market, he will also use a low-price strategy, occupy the market first, and then find a way to make money!"
Sony's top brass nodded.
Everyone knows that the effect of LCD TV is many times better than CRT CRT picture tube TV. If the price of an LCD TV is only a little higher than that of a CRT TV, it will definitely form a crushing situation.
After discussion, Sony finally decided to go all out to develop LCD panel technology.
At the same time, TV giants such as Panasonic and Hitachi have made the same decision.
It's just that what makes Li Zetian more angry is that it didn't take long for these Japanese companies to join forces and announce the joint development of liquid crystal technology.
"Well, they have joined forces?!! Japanese companies are really unanimous in their guns to the outside world! It's just that Samsung has killed you, will Lao Tzu still be afraid? Look at Lao Tzu alone to overthrow your entire Japanese !!" Li Zetian said mockingly and disdainfully.
Even if you are alone, even if you are the enemy of thousands of Japanese companies, what is there to fear?!!
Li Zetian was highly motivated, injected another 100 million dollars into Chronos Industries, and then established R&D centers in the United Kingdom, France, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. At the same time, it also sent people to establish a super-large LCD panel production plant in Shenzhen.
Do things!
Then it's up to who's better!
These actions of Chronos Industries were known to the media and then reported.
The media exclaimed: "Oh God, Japanese companies are developing LCDs together, and CRN·L is fighting alone, what a bunker!"
The reporters couldn't help but be shocked by this domineering spirit, and squatted at the door of Li Zetian's house every day.
As soon as I saw him come out, I wanted an interview.
Li Zetian was annoyed and said: "Although Japanese companies are powerful, I am not afraid of them, and I will invest 100 million dollars in them next year!" After a pause, Li Zetian said lightly, "I have too much money, and I have lost billions of dollars, and I don't take it seriously!"
Yes?!!
The crowd grew their mouths and their faces were full of shock.
Among the reporters was a spy of Sony, and when he heard this, his heart was even more bitter.
People have too much money, and they don't take it seriously when they lose billions of dollars, how can this be done?
That evening, a news report about Li Zetian came out.
The American people have said that Li Zetian is domineering, and that Japan is too arrogant during this time, waving checks to buy land and houses in the United States, and many Japanese people even ridicule Americans for being too poor.
"Haha, it's still CRN·L domineering. The last time I met a big Japanese fat man, he actually showed off his wealth in my face, saying that how much land he bought in Hawaii, and Hawaii was going to become Japanese, and I was so angry when I heard this. The Japanese are rich, right, dare to compare with our richest man in the world?"
"Don't be billions of dollars, our world's richest man has lost 10 billion dollars, and he didn't even pay attention to it!"
“……”
When the news reached Japan, Sony, Panasonic and other Japanese manufacturers looked at each other and were speechless.
However, they also knew that Li Zetian deliberately said that kind of thing, in order to force them to back down.
"CRN L pretends to be forced with a little money, and in the future, he loses to us in the LCD panel market, I see if he can still laugh!!" A Sony senior executive said very unhappily.
……
Before you know it, another month has passed.
In the cold wind, people put on cotton clothes to keep out the cold.
The turmoil in Chronos Industries is beginning to fade away, and people are preparing for Christmas during the month.
There was heating in the study, and Li Zetian was sitting at the desk reading in a single coat.
At this time, the phone rang, Li Zetian answered the phone, and it was Larry Ellison, the C of Oracle Corporation, on the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter, Larry Ellison?" asked Li Zetian with a smile.
"R.L., I have discussed with other shareholders and are ready to let Oracle go public for financing to further accelerate the company's development!
Li Zetian was stunned for a moment, he was too rich, so he didn't care if the company was listed or not, but for ordinary employees, if the company was not listed, although there were option awards, there was wool. Therefore, the boss is not in a hurry, the employees are in a hurry, if the company is not listed for a long time, the employees' work attitude is bound to become negative.
Li Zetian said: "It has been more than a year since the establishment of Oracle Bone Company, and it is time to go public! Ellison, I support the company's listing, and it is best to go public in the first half of this year!"
"yes, okay!!" Ellison replied with a please. He knew that Li Zetian also acquired the German P, which is the main competitor of Oracle, and since it was acquired by Li Zetian, it has developed rapidly, and there is a faint tendency to catch up with Oracle. Ellison was a little anxious, hoping to let Oracle go public and raise funds, and after getting the funds, accelerate the company's development!
Li Zetian said: "Is there anything else?"
"No more!"
"Well, then you go and prepare for the company's listing, I still have something to do here. Li Zetian saw Yu Jingqiu knocking on the door and walked in, so he said.
"Okay, R.L., then I won't bother you!"
Yu Jingqiu walked up to Li Zetian and asked casually, "Which company is going to go public?"
"Oracle. ”
"Oh," Yu Jingqiu replied, not surprised, or accustomed to it. "Honey, lunch is ready, come out and eat!" she said softly.
"Okay!!" Li Zetian stood up, put his arm around her waist, and walked towards the restaurant together. But Li Zetian thought in his heart that the listing of Oracle was extraordinary.
