Chapter 924: Mitsui in action
The electronics manufacturers in the global market mainly consider the competition from European and American companies) The same is true for the e-field. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After Ikesa Hidezo went to China, he adjusted the penetration strategy of Mitsui's member companies into the Chinese electronics market, which is also the result of the long-term thinking of Japanese companies in the Chinese market, in addition to the brands that directly enter the Chinese market, more low-end products are mainly based on technology and capital penetration, which can also ensure the import of electronic components to the Chinese market, so as to ensure the interests of Japan's domestic electronics industry.
Kumho and the Association for the Promotion of Digital Mobile Phone Technology have caused Ikesa Hidezo's strategy to face great resistance in the field of digital phones.
According to the long-term observation of Kumho by the Mitsui Economic Research Department (this observation was only started by Hidezo Ikesa after he came to China), the huge profits obtained by Kumho's Aida Group in consumer electronics products and the huge profits obtained from cooperation with Deyi and Scober were not blindly used for diversification and expansion, but were invested in the research department as much as possible to ensure continuous technological progress. In addition to promoting the development of Kumho's components division, Kumho has also taken a key step towards becoming a technical service provider – Kumho continued to provide a number of important mobile phone technologies to its members for a fee through the Association for the Promotion of Digital Mobile Phone Technology in June this year.
If the situation is left unfolded, Ikesa Hidezo's penetration strategy will completely fail in the field of digital mobile phones, and the versatility of information technology is very strong, and this situation will also spread to other consumer electronics fields.
There is another point that worries Hidezo Ikesa: after Toshiba joined, the portable digital audio player Ying quickly expanded.
Although Kumho is a registered trademark, the market seems to be accustomed to referring to portable DM players, just as people are accustomed to referring to portable cassette players as samples, which is really Sony's proprietary name.
"Mr. Ge should know this, right?" Ikesa Shuzo took out a copy of Toshiba's latest production and brought it to Ge Jiande's eyes.
Although Kumho is not sold in the domestic market is Ge Jiande still recognized, at this time the products launched by each company are similar, Toshiba's industrial design does not seem to be as exquisite and elegant as Kumho, he will Toshiba's latest production in his hand, milky white aluminum shell body, only the size of the palm, than the common walkman in the domestic market is delicate and small, the weight is also much lighter, he took it in his hand and said: "Of course I recognize, but unfortunately the price is too high, and it depends on the popularity of computers, which is completely unsuitable for the Chinese market, I'm curious why Kumho was able to open this product...... Don't know how the sales are in the overseas market? ”
"The monthly shipments in the global market have not exceeded 80,000 units in the first half of the year," said Hideki Ikesa and said with a straight back, "but I just got a data yesterday, and the monthly shipments have exceeded 200,000 units......
Jiande was slightly surprised, and then he realized why Ikesa Hidezo would mention Kumho to him so solemnly.
Ge Jiande is not unlearned. He knows that portable MD is being promoted by many Japanese electronics giants such as Sony, Panasonic, and Sharp. The monthly shipments in the global market are only 600,000 pieces. The key is that MD has been in commercial production since 92 years, and it was only officially put into commercial production by Kumho at the beginning of this year. Although it is said that the important factor that caused this situation is that the technology of MD products has always been in the hands of a few Japanese electronics giants such as Sony, Panasonic, and Sharp, and there has been no outflow. From the very beginning, Kumho has licensed the technology to a wide range of products in the global market. But it is undeniable that it has great potential to become a mainstream product in the portable audio market.
Ge Jiande knew that in mid-August, Toshiba would start to launch their local products. I didn't expect Toshiba to join the camp to play such a big role. In addition to Toshiba's semiconductor storage technology in exchange for a complete earth technology from Kumho. Kumho is the only one that has always mastered the core technology. This means that Kumho has a core product that can pry open the global market. There is no need to ask in detail about the shipments of 200,000 pieces in September. Kumho accounted for how much. This one doesn't make sense. To be sure. On this product. Except for Toshiba. No other manufacturer has the strength to compete with Kumho. Before the market is saturated. Will Toshiba compete directly with Kumho? The answer is clearly no. This means that Kumho has the potential to establish a global brand image.
Ge Jiande did not feel the slightest sense of pride because of this. Instead, a chill came out of his back: Kumho is really chilling.
Ikesa Hidezo watched Ge Jiande react. Smile slightly. I thought to myself: Sure enough, Kumho is afraid! He leaned forward slightly to help Ge Jiande renew the tea. Put down the teapot. He also took out a flash drive from Toshiba's latest origin. Strips. The size of an adult man's middle finger. said: "This instant storage disk. Kumho was only launched in June. Toshiba's products were only available in mid-August. Nowadays, the industry also has a high evaluation of this product. We are optimistic that it will replace floppy drives in computers.
It's an embarrassing fact. Huaxia Electronics' Dijin Great Wall Computer is a manufacturing and distribution enterprise. In China, it ranks only behind Lenovo, Tsinghua Tongfang and Founder. Ge Jiande is well aware that floppy drives are formulated as standard for computers. It means how big the computer market is. The market for floppy drives is as big as it gets. Ninety-seven years. Although the sales of personal computers in the domestic market have only exceeded 3 million units. But global PC sales are close to 90 million units. What is the market potential of the Kumho launch site for this kind of instant storage site? It's easy to imagine - Ge Jiande really suspects that Ikesa Hidezo is coming to hit him hard today. Biting his lip. His eyes were fixed on the flash drive on the table, which was the size of an adult's middle finger. There was no sound to say anything.
Ikesa Hidezo sighed slightly. Then he asked, "There is something." I would like to ask Mr. Ge......"
"Please."
"Why is Kumho so close to the Chen, Ma, and Ho families in Indonesia?" Chisa Xiuzang stared at Ge Jiande with blazing eyes.
Jiande knew that Kumho could exert influence in the process of Chinese capital fleeing Indonesia to attract the attention of others, but he didn't know anything about the inside story behind it, otherwise he would never keep this secret for Kumho, even if there were not many people at the top of the central government who knew what kind of inside story was hidden behind it, he said, "I don't know very well, Kumho has been in contact with Malaysia's Kwok family for a long time, maybe through it."
It may be possible to win the trust of the three major Chinese business families in Indonesia......"
Pond Hidezo was a little disappointed, he put his hands on his knees, sat up straight, and said: "I plan with Nakamura-kun to carry out a comprehensive strategic cooperation with Huaxia Electronics, and the depth of cooperation will far exceed the precedent of Sino-Japanese enterprise cooperation - even if we have advanced electronic product technology in China, I will consider promoting the transfer of Mitsui's member companies, including Huaxia Electronics, so that Huaxia Electronics has the ability to fully cross Kumho...... Of course, what Huaxia Electronics needs, you might as well open a list first. ”
Hearing Chi Zuo Xiuzang say this, Ge Jiande was naturally very excited, he didn't expect to hear such exciting news when the night was getting darker, but he thought in his heart: What is the trick of Chi Zuo Xiuzang who is fascinated by women, thinking of Li Xinyu's peerless appearance, it can indeed make Chi Zuo Xiuzang have a deep grudge against Zhang Ke.
After a few more moments, Ge Jiande said goodbye and left, and Ikesa Hidezo's secretary came over and removed Ge Jiande's teacup.
Hiroyuki Mura took a sip of tea and said, "He doesn't know anything, and in Japan, he is not qualified to manage such a large company." ”
"You have been in China for so many years, don't you know that being a person in China is more important than doing things?" Chi Sahide said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the gloom on his face did not disappear, "Aren't people in China not believing that such a powerful enterprise can grow on the soil of China?" ”
Mura Yuyuki smiled awkwardly, just last month Ikesa Hidezo came to him to discuss the matter of injecting capital into the king, and he still had some doubts, at this time, it was not enough to inject capital and support for the king of science on this scale.
At the beginning of September, Ikesa Hidezo watched Zhang Ke and Li Xinyu living in the same room half-naked, and was so angry that he hated to strangle Zhang Ke to death, and it was precisely because of his resentment that he officially attached importance to Kumho, mobilized Mitsui & Co.'s intelligence search department to investigate everything in Kumho, and formally established a long-term observation mechanism for Kumho -- Kumho enjoyed the same treatment as a consortium within Mitsui & Co.
The more he studied Kumho, the more Hidezo Ikesa felt that Kumho was not simple. While he was still studying Kumho Shoji's structure and business objectives with very limited information, he learned that Kumho Shoji would actually lead the large-scale project of building a port on Sinting Dongshan Island, and that Kumho Shoji would take a stake in China's newly formed Huaxi Mining Co., Ltd., whose main purpose was to integrate China's scarce metal resources, made Ikesa Hidezo feel that Kumho's steps after May or June this year were extremely ambitious—Kumho's ambitions would seriously affect Mitsui's interests in China, and it might not be limited to China.
Mitsui has penetrated China's economy for 20 years, although the main destination of Mitsui's capital and technology export was Southeast Asia, but the Asian financial crisis has caused Mitsui to suffer a lot of losses in Southeast Asia.
Behind Kumho's ambition is the firm support of Chinese business capital in Southeast Asia, which is also something that Ikesa Hidezo has been puzzled by these days, and he can't get an answer from Ge Jiande. Of course, the prospect of Kumho's consumer electronics business also frightened Ikesa Hidezo, the monthly sales volume in September suddenly soared, which seemed to indicate that Kumho's roots will be deeper and deeper, Ikesa Hidezo just got the shipment data in the global market in the month, he clearly realized: Mitsui must have more and more clear layout for Kumho in China, he must first win over the senior management of Mitsui's member companies in China to support his plan - this is not just a personal grudge - Huaxia Electronics, King Ke naturally became a part of his plan.
Zhang Ke didn't care about the details of the "100 Cities and 100 Stores" plan, he and Ye Jianbin accompanied Song Peiming, 6 Yiguang and others to eat together, and after dinner, they visited the construction site of Kumho New Town, he didn't know that Chi Zuo Xiuzang was already acting so seriously against Kumho at this time.
6 Yiguang can be said to be the elder of the three dynasties in Haizhou, from Ding Xiangshan served as the deputy secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, until Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian successively took the post of secretary of the municipal party committee, he had no chance to straighten out, speaking of which he was also affected by the Ding Xiangshan case, Zhou Fuming pushed at the juncture before the Ding Xiangshan case, and was not affected in the slightest.
Zhang Ke didn't know if 6 Yiguang had any resentment in his heart, but he believed that 6 Yiguang could see the situation clearly. Besides, the province arranged for 6 Yiguang to concurrently serve as the director of the Municipal People's Congress, which is also a compensation for him, the relationship between the uncle and 6 Yiguang is quite good, and it can only be said that it is a general friendship before, but after the summer of 94, the relationship is also naturally close, Zhang Ke rarely goes back to Haizhou, and has the opportunity to get close to 6 Yiguang, or to get close - estrangement is easy to breed resentment.
"Don't live in Haizhou at night?" Song Peiming asked Zhang Ke.
"Brother Ye and I are both people who can stay up late and can't get up early," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "Instead of getting up early tomorrow and crossing the river to go to Xinting, it is better to cross the river and go to Xinting at night, so that you will not be in a hurry when you talk about things in the morning, and you don't have to doze off all day." ”
"Then the 6 secretaries go back to rest first, and I'll send Zhang Ke and them to the ferry." Song Peiming said.
"I'm also a person who can stay up late and send it to the ferry ...... together," 6 Yiguang said, it is said that he has intersected with Tang Xueqian and Zhang Zhixing, but ah, Kumho has to look up now, and it is really nothing to go to the ferry to see him off.
The wind and waves are calm, the ferry port in the south of Yilong Town also passes as usual at night, there are not many vehicles to cross the river at night, get on the ferry and cross the river directly, there is no queue to wait, 20 minutes has arrived at Beixia County north of Xinting, Xinting Municipal Party Committee Secretary Dou Weitao, executive vice mayor Tao Shuyi is at the ferry in Beixia County to meet them -- Xinting Executive Vice Mayor Tao Shuyi served as the secretary of the county party committee in Beixia County before, Dou Weitao and Tao Shuyi picked up people at the Beixia ferry crossing, and naturally also alarmed the party and government leadership of the Beixia County Party Committee and county government - Zhang Zhifei and Liang Junjun were in Xinting, they didn't have to go to the ferry to pick up Zhang and Ye Jianbin , but Dou Weitao and Tao Shuyi rushed over, and they couldn't help but accompany them.
