"This condition, Kodak estimates that it is difficult to accept." After listening to Fan Wuxi's condition, Boss Zhu felt a little surprised and said casually.

It is true that now Kodak is encountering a relatively large crisis, but this is not to say that they have been defeated, as a veteran graphic impact processing business package solution, Kodak in the film manufacturing industry although it has encountered relatively large difficulties, but in other aspects of the development is very smooth, now want to fully acquire China's film manufacturing industry, but hope to maintain the film business for a few more years, not to say that leaving the Chinese market, Kodak has been unable to maintain.

Although many people are a little blindly optimistic about the importance of the Chinese market, Boss Zhu is still very clear in his heart, so when he heard Fan Wuxi's condition, he did not feel that this was a very easy condition.

Fan replied, "Within three years, we at Fan's Investment Group will only share the research results of Kodak's digital camera manufacturing technology and memory card manufacturing technology, and will not directly put it into production, so it will not pose any threat to Kodak's market position." ”

After hearing this, Boss Zhu was a little thoughtful, thinking that Fan Wuxi's idea was really a bit strange, but I don't know how Kodak will react?

For a new type of technology, a . In the process of continuous development, it is very likely that the possibilities will be infinite in three years, and the technology that seems mature now will become a thing of the past three years and will no longer have any value.

And now the development of digital camera technology. The company, not just Kodak, really can't figure out why Fan Wuxian is willing to suffer such a loss to share Kodak's related technology, and promise not to use this technology to develop products for the time being?

After everyone chatted for a while, the manager refined. The meal prepared by the heart finally came up, the meat and vegetable combination was very reasonable, and it looked pleasing to the eye, and the old Bai Fen who took it was a private collection of more than 30 years, and it was relatively rare in the capital, and the waiter who went to develop the photos for Shen Ying also ran back, showing Shen Ying the prepared photos.

Fan Wuxi took two photos and looked at them, this one is printed. Come,Look at the effect is still a bit simple,Although this is already a 1.6 million pixel digital camera,The lens is also professional-grade,But the clarity still needs to be improved,Although compared to the ordinary point-and-shoot camera,The effect has been much better,But Fan Wuxi, who is used to mature digital camera technology,This is still a rookie-level digital camera。

"It looks pretty good, but the long-range imaging doesn't work well. The print is also unsatisfactory, but it's worth it. After judging for a while, Fan Wuxian took two bills and gave the waiter a tip.

"Thank you, sir." After the waiter took the tip, he immediately smiled.

"Mr. Fan is really rich? Tips are given in a face value of 100 yuan. of dollar bills? Seeing this, Boss Zhu quipped, "If I pour you two cups of tea, will I also tip?" ”

Fan Wuzhi haha. said with a smile, "If Boss Zhu does it, it will be a sky-high price." But I don't have the guts, otherwise I have to let people know, and I won't be shot to death? ”

Speaking of which, Fan Wuxi's tip is a little more, which is not unreasonable.

He has paid attention to too many things in this period of time, such as the details of digital camera technology has not been noticed, so when he came to dinner today and accidentally encountered this incident, it inspired him, although now is not necessarily the best time to engage in digital cameras, but it is imperative to start tracking the latest research and development technology and preparing for marketization.

After all, the market prospect of digital cameras and related products is extremely broad, not only the market itself is very large, but also can be transferred to mobile phones, forming their own leading edge in the industry, this process is not very difficult.

Of course, in fact, if Fan Wuxian waits until the digital camera technology matures, he hopes to acquire ready-made technology and then develop new products, but the price may be a little higher.

Moreover, Fan Wuzhi also hopes that his research institute can digest and absorb these digital technologies, and develop components with independent intellectual property rights for the digital shooting technology used in mobile phones, so that the lasting competitiveness will be stronger.

Fan Wuxian knows very well how good the development prospects of digital shooting technology are in the next few years, if it is only from the perspective of digital cameras, or the sales have not reached the level of craving in Fan Wuxi's mind, but considering the widespread use of digital shooting technology in mobile phones, Fan Wuxian is more excited.

Shen Ying was more interested in digital cameras, so she asked Fan Wuxi if there were any latest styles in China, or to what extent did the latest foreign products go? Can you get a few to come back and play around?

Boss Zhu said with a smile, "Actually, it's very simple, anyway, I want to negotiate with Kodak, just ask them directly, and guarantee that it will be their most advanced product, or I will give it to you for nothing." ”

Fan replied, "It's not that you can't, but if you talk about business later, it's like accepting a commercial bribe." ”

After all, Boss Zhu's secretary still contacted Kodak as soon as possible, and Kodak President Pei Xuede was about to fly to Beijing in the near future, and after hearing that Fan Wuxian intended to participate in this project, he immediately said that he would arrange a visit to China in advance and strive to see Fan Wuxian as soon as possible.

"Look, Kodak is very motivated, right?" Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "My request is not too much. ”

In fact, he also knows very well that the reason why Kodak is not very disgusted with this requirement is mainly because the sales of digital cameras are still relatively small, and the actual operating income does not exceed two billion US dollars in terms of sales of one million units this year.

As for what the future holds, we can't see it yet, but it is obviously impossible for a company like Kodak to push the boundaries of digital camera technology while still maintaining a leading edge in traditional camera technology and image printing technology.

In fact, Kodak's goal is very clear, since everyone is flocking to get cameras and digital cameras, then I will engage in the bottom unavoidable service support, digital printing graphic images and other implementation technologies, you all go to the camera, but it is impossible not to print out, right? Since you want to print, then you can't do without our technical support.

Fan Wuxian admires Kodak's idea very much, and he also knows very well how big China's digital printing and graphic image market will be in the future, so he would rather not point fingers, but also hope to obtain a certain percentage of shares through capital injection, which can be regarded as a hitchhike.

If you can reach a cooperation agreement with Kodak, then after the digital camera and mobile phone digital technology mature, you can very conveniently use the service system formed by Kodak to provide value-added services for your mobile phone digital imaging technology, the scale of this market is larger, and there is not much input cost, basically pure profit.

After such a move, Boss Zhu's interest improved a little, everyone began to eat, and Boss Zhu also drank two glasses of wine with Fan Wuxi, chatting while eating.

Shen Ying was eating while looking through the photos, and suddenly she asked a question, "I remember that Lekai film is also quite good, are they also going to be acquired?" ”

Speaking of this question, Boss Zhu paused, and then replied, "Actually, this question has been mentioned by many people. ”

In the 80s, as the leader of China's film film, Lekai seized the opportunity to transform decisively in the face of market demand, developed the first generation of color film in China, and realized the leap from film to civilian photographic consumables.

However, due to the large gap between the domestic financial film industry and the world level, some domestic film factories set off a wave of comprehensive introduction at that time, and Xiamen and Shantou photosensitive enterprises have successively introduced two color roll production lines. On the basis of independent development, Lekai insists on introducing some technologies for its own use.

Then the introduction of tide did not revitalize China's photosensitive industry, Shanghai color coil line failed to form a design scale, Xiamen and Shantou lost money year after year, Wuxi, Tianjin and other enterprises only barely maintained.

In 1992, the BR100 came out, and the gap between itself and Kodak was shortened from 40 years to 8 years. With superb color performance and excellent independent technology, he was elected as the king of China's film.

By 1996, the output of color film, color photographic paper, color film and aerospace film accounted for 80.2%, 89.7%, 86% and 100% of the country's total output respectively, and the market share reached 23.67.

"However, the traditional photosensitive materials industry is a capital and technology-intensive industry, and its research and development expenses are an important indicator to measure its technological leadership. In '95, Kodak's R&D expenses were $900 million, while Lekai's R&D expenses were only $3 million in the same period, a difference of more than 300 times. Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuxian with some emotion, "Although Lekai has greatly shortened the gap with Kodak, the technical differences caused by the gap in the past few years are immeasurable. In the past, Lekai was able to occupy such a large market share, a big factor is the degree of market openness, and the price factor is at play, but with the development of the economy, people's requirements for imaging technology continue to increase, so Lekai's competitiveness will decline rapidly. Therefore, I am in favor of the full joint venture, but some people do not see this, and they just oppose this cooperation proposal from the word "national industry", which is really a bit infuriating. ”

Fan Wuxian nodded, he knew very well that with the advent of digital imaging technology, traditional photosensitive materials are facing a crisis of comprehensive decline. The industrial substitution crisis will make the gap between Lekai and Kodak bigger and bigger, but in the face of digital transformation, they are even more powerless and unable to come up with a solution.

In the real history, two thousand years ago, Lucky had the intention to set up a digital imaging company, but in two thousand years, Lucky Digital Imaging Co., Ltd. had an annual output of 20 million square meters of image material project feasibility study report, which was approved by the State Planning Commission, and then it had to enter the preliminary design review meeting, and the project demonstration on paper alone was delayed for three years.

During this period, Kodak, Fujifilm, Konica, Agfa and other old film manufacturers have upgraded their old printing networks to digital printing, and have long been involved in the manufacture of digital cameras.

Soon, Lekai was left far behind by his competitors. When Lucky finally partnered with Epson to open its first digital laser printing shop, Kodak had more than 1,800 digital printing network service points. The backwardness of the digital printing base has slowed down the business development of Lekai's digital printing product chain, and the crown of the king has finally fallen into the dust.

"Sometimes, it's not what you want to do, just look at the investment in domestic research and development, you can judge whether the industry has the potential for development, rather than falling here and slowly dying out naturally, it is better to promote the market as soon as possible." Fan Wuxian said with some emotion, "If the problem of the domestic enterprise system is not solved, it is impossible to increase R&D investment, but in this situation, if you do not increase R&D investment, any industry will lag behind." It's like the domestic technology in general-purpose computers, there were still things that could be handled in the early 80s, but now, they can't even catch people's tails. Power is sometimes easy to use, sometimes it is not easy to use, and the system is the same, in the past, or our system is adapted to the development of productive forces, but if we want to transfer to the market economy, the management mechanism of state-owned enterprises needs to be changed, otherwise it will only change more and more chaotic, and the more it changes, the worse it will be, and finally everyone will finish playing together. ”

Shen Ying sandwiched a piece of matsutake mushroom, plugged Fan Wuxi's mouth, and then said, "Hurry up and eat, this is a meal, not a system criticism meeting of state-owned enterprises." ”

Boss Zhu immediately burst out laughing when he heard this, Fan Wuxian was stuffed with a large piece of matsutake mushroom in his mouth, but it was a very uncomfortable feeling to stop talking.

After swallowing it easily, Fan Wuxian said, "The state-owned enterprise now feels the same as I just now, I can't say it, and I feel uncomfortable." ”

There are no pop-ups
