Chapter 863 Patent Replacement

What makes Wang Dongsheng nervous is not only the technical level of Jiangyan Company, but also that they are expanding the application field of LCD screens, and their ambitions are obvious, obviously not only to make mobile phone screens.

Once Jiangyan Company is done, it will definitely be a disaster for BOE and TPV.

LCD panel is the fourth largest import commodity in China after oil, iron ore and integrated circuits.

In 2010, China's total LCD screen imports reached 47 billion US dollars.

In the information age, flat panel displays are ubiquitous and have become the core components of the electronics industry. China's LCD panels have long relied on imports, and foreign LCD panel manufacturers "embrace the screen and have their own weight", and carry out a strict technical blockade on Chinese enterprises.

Because of this, in the national "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" for science and technology development, flat panel display technology is listed in the first important position of the new generation of information technology industry.

Jiangyan Company can develop such a high-tech LCD screen, which is expected to break the foreign monopoly, which is a gratifying thing. However, BOE, as a key enterprise supported by the state, bears the heavy responsibility of breaking foreign monopolies.

To a certain extent, Wang Dongsheng also lives up to the expectations of the country and has developed very well in the field of LCD screens. But before he completed the important task, he was preemptively done by Jiang Yan Company, and Wang Dongsheng felt very depressed.

From the perspective of the development of the whole society, Jiangyan Company is actually a duplicate investment, but from the perspective of competition, there are not many companies that do LCD screens, and competition can promote the development of each other.

The problem is that Jiangyan Company is so rich, even if BOE has state support, Wang Dongsheng also feels the pressure. After all, the support of the state is also limited, and BOE is not a pure state-owned enterprise, but a mixed enterprise.

The characteristics of mixed enterprises are that they are supported by the state, but in terms of operation and management, they are more inclined to market competition. If BOE does not have this competitiveness, the country will not invest a lot of money, and may turn to support Jiangyan.

Wang Dongsheng was very hesitant whether to cooperate with Jiangyan Company or go back and work harder.

With mixed feelings, Wang Dongsheng took the high-speed train to Nanjing the next day, and then transferred to Fairy Town. After coming to Jiangyan Company, Wang Dongsheng was personally received by Hang Yu.

"Mr. Wang, how do you feel after seeing our Yanjing Technology Company?" Hang Yu invited him to dinner at the Mingyueqiao Hotel.

"The future is terrifying, it took us more than seven years to barely catch up with the LCD screen manufacturing level of developed countries, and it took us half of our time to surpass us. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Wang Dongsheng looked at the young Hang Yu and couldn't help but sigh that the development of this era is too fast, and he has an illusion of being eliminated.

"We have just made the finished product and are building a new production line, and there is still some time before it is marketized. As far as I know, the 8.5 generation line invested and built by your company has been mass-produced in September last year, and there must be new achievements now. Hang Yu said.

He didn't dare to underestimate the progress of BOE's research and development, the company was not very lucky, in the process of development encountered foreign giants, and in 08 encountered a financial crisis, it went all the way through, and the stronger it became.

Jiangyan Company has abundant funds and Hangyu's advanced consciousness, so that it can go so smoothly on the road of research and development.

But this does not mean that BOE will not work, seven years of accumulation, its technology patents as many as thousands, more production lines than Jiangyan company, and it is still in overspeed research, there must be unannounced new technologies.

Hang Yu is inclined to cooperate with BOE, it is better to break the triangle alliance of BOE, TPV and Philips, it is better to kick Philips out of the game and replace it with Jiangyan Company.

However, Philips is an old technology company, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to kick it out and take its place.

"There are some new achievements, but compared to you, they are slightly inferior. Wang Dongsheng laughed.

"We're making a lot of progress in the area of mobile phone screens, but other areas of application are shallow. Just making mobile phone screens is not enough to recoup the investment, we hope to sell LCD screens to all walks of life. Hang Yu was blunt.

"I saw it at Yenching Technology, and you're working on a new application, and it won't be long before it happens. Wang Dongsheng is a chicken thief, obviously he is more anxious, but he has to wait for Hang Yu to speak first.

Hang Yu is no longer the original newborn calf, as soon as he heard it, he knew that the other party was hypocritical, he hated hypocritical people, so he smiled and said: "It is indeed not very difficult to develop new applications, but the patent issue is more troublesome." To be honest, even though we have been working on new routes, it is still inevitable to use some of the existing patented technologies. ”

Wang Dongsheng said: "This is also a matter of no way, foreign countries have played this route very skillfully, no matter how we open up new routes, research and development of new technologies, it is impossible to come out of a completely different path." ”

Hang Yu said: "So I want to carry out patent exchange with your company, I believe that our two companies must have many different patented technologies." Through patent exchange, we can pay less patent fees to foreign companies. ”

Wang Dongsheng did not hesitate, nodded and said: "That's the reason, I hope to cooperate in this regard." ”

Hang Yu continued: "In addition to patent replacement, we can also cooperate in the production and sales stages. Building a completely new production line is extremely expensive, and we have different sales channels. ”

Wang Dongsheng continued to nod: "I also admit this, your online sales platform is still very powerful." ”

As for the stage of technology research and development, Hang Yu does not plan to cooperate with others in research and development after being cheated by Huawei once. Hang Yu's cognition at this moment is clearer than before, technology research and development is fundamental, and it is impossible to cooperate with others at all.

Wang Dongsheng also heard that Jiang Yan Company did not plan to cooperate with him in research and development, and it was estimated that he was very confident in himself.

"Hang Dong is so sincere, I will also tell you what is in my heart. Wang Dongsheng thought for a while and said seriously: "Now the sales situation of the LCD screen industry is sluggish, we can cooperate, but how to achieve a win-win situation is very difficult." ”

In the past two years, the global LCD industry has continued to be sluggish, and there is no sign of recovery in the short term.

The "father of liquid crystal" - Sharp could not escape the bad luck of loss.

In 2011, Sharp posted its biggest loss since its 100th anniversary.

Under huge industry pressure, Sharp isn't the only TV giant to fall. As of 2011, Japanese TV giants including Sony and Panasonic collectively suffered losses.

Due to the continuous loss of performance, Sony's stock price plummeted.

In 2011, Sony's stock price shrank by nearly 50%.

In the past five years, Sony's stock price has fallen by more than 60%.

Sony and many Japanese companies have been facing severe external difficulties due to the strengthening of the yen, the earthquake in Japan, and the reduction of factory production due to floods in Thailand.

Panasonic also set the most ugly loss record in history, according to the earnings forecast released by Panasonic, the loss forecast for 2011 has risen sharply to 780 billion yen, setting a new record for the company's historical loss.
