Chapter 543: Poor Dagger
"Mr. Xuan, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Zhongyang returned from Hawaii with joy and was about to start reforming the company's operating system, but he was poured a basin of ice water on his head.
What he was holding in his hand was a Taiwanese newspaper, which his secretary Song Cheng had deliberately placed on his desk, and he carefully circled a piece of news with a red pen. After reading the news, Wang Zhongyang was immediately furious and called Xuan Changsheng's phone.
"Ah, Mr. Wang? Who messed with you? Tell my brother, I'll help you get angry, ah! Xuan Changsheng's voice seemed very excited, even in the face of Wang Zhongyang's roar, the tone of his voice was still unhurried. Listening to his sincere tone, I really want to think that he and Wang Zhongyang are good buddies who share life and death.
"Mr. Xuan, it's no one else who provokes me, it's you TPV!" Wang Zhongyang snapped, slammed the newspaper on the table, pulled the tie that made him breathless, and said irritably: "TPV and Sharp joint venture to establish Jabil Optoelectronics on the island, is expected to launch a 5-generation LCD panel production line, this is not the news made up by the newspaper, right?" â
"Huh?" Xuan Changsheng seemed to have just remembered, and said with a laugh: "Brother Wang said this, this is not a big deal, and I don't have to go around to publicize it." â
"Not a big deal?" Wang Zhongyang sneered: "I want to ask Mr. Xuan, if this 5th generation line is built, do you want to produce IPS screen LCD panels?" â
Wang Zhongyang also knew with his heels that this 5th generation line must be on IPS screen technology, and even the high-voltage driver IC will not be let go. Without these two technologies, would he Xuan Changsheng build this production line in preparation for losing money? Obviously, this possibility does not exist zĂ i. Then he should clearly plan to pit BOE.
In the past few months, BOE's 5th generation line has already started construction. Even in order to rush the construction period, the products were supplied to TPV in advance. The Imperial City Government has called the construction team of the Imperial Capital Construction Corporation to manage it in a militarized manner. Working overtime and staying up all night to rush for progress. Don't look at it in only two or three months, this steel structure workshop has been erected.
The rest of the dust-free workshop decoration, equipment installation and control and air conditioning configuration and other projects, the construction command center specially invited experts from Huaqing University to manage the parallel project, we go hand in hand and at the same time to ensure the quality of the project to the greatest extent. Miraculously completed half of the project tasks in more than two months.
But there is never a good thing in the world that both the horse runs and the horse does not eat grass, and the faster the progress, the more money will naturally be spent and the higher the budget. However, this is the world's first LCD panel 5th generation line after all, and it will really produce products when the time comes. It is always more profitable to create a zĂ o than to spend it.
But suddenly heard that TPV himself had cooperated with Sharp and invested in a 5th generation line on the island, Wang Zhongyang suddenly felt bad in his heart. The promotion of the LCD market is not achieved overnight, but to wait for the market to slowly accept. In the first few years when LCD monitors opened the market, how could there be such a large demand to swallow the output of two production lines?
Xuan Changsheng's move made the purpose of kicking BOE away obviously. The only thing in Wang Zhongyang's hands that can restrain him is only two key technology patents.
"Well, haha......" Xuan Changsheng smiled covertly and said, "There is Sharp among our partners." They invested a portion of their technology in the stake. This doesn't make sense, the Japanese can produce IPS screens, so we can't. â
The implication of Xuan Changsheng's words is that you can't even control Sharp, and you can't control me Jabil Optoelectronics. This shameless face. It's really unappetizing.
"Mr. Xuan, you should know that Sharp's technology also infringes on our intellectual property rights." Wang Zhongyang said sternly: "What's more, TPV has signed a supply contract with our BOE. Even if this line is built, it will not be able to absorb the capacity ......"
"There is no need for Mr. Wang to worry about this, we naturally have our own considerations. This line is the worst. It can also be used as a supplement to BOE's production capacity. â
Xuan Changsheng said so, but Wang Zhongyang is in his forties. Is it not possible to have an IQ that is only at the level of a child? Immediately nodded at him gently: "Mr. Xuan, our supply contract is signed for one year, if you violate the contract, you will face strict compensation for breach of contract." â
"Oh, that's what I was about to say." Xuan Changsheng put away his lazy attitude, and it was rare to be stern: "I also want to remind Mr. Wang that if BOE cannot complete the supply volume specified in the contract on time, we will also ask for compensation for breach of contract specified in the contract." â
What does this mean?
Although Wang Zhongyang hung up the phone, Xuan Changsheng's words kept echoing in his mind - "If BOE can't complete the supply volume stipulated in the contract on time", this must be Xuan Changsheng's trick. But what can be done to make BOE's output fall short of the contract requirements?
The problem could not have been in the BOE factory, and TPV's influence on BOE was very limited. In addition to the staffing on the board of directors and the supervisory board, there are no TPV personnel at the top and middle levels of the company. And the construction team of the heart production line is responsible for the construction company sent by the imperial city government, not to mention the BOE project, which is a lot. Quiet. The doors have been repaired!
The problem cannot appear internally, so what can affect BOE's production capacity externally......
"Supply!"
A flash of light flashed in Wang Zhongyang's heart, and he suddenly couldn't help but shout loudly!
Although BOE has built an industrial chain of LCD panels, the time for the completion of this industrial chain is too short, so that it only solves the problem of whether there is or not, but it is too late to consolidate.
Many enterprises are actually a weak link in this industrial chain. For example, Nanli Group, the ITO conductive glass they make is a key component of the LCD panel, but at present, only they can do ITO for LCD panels. The relevant technology and equipment are the only ones in China.
In addition, there is only one fine chemical factory in China that can produce the hybrid liquid crystal materials that are specially needed for IPS screens, and there is also a large-size meteorological precipitation equipment required for the production of LCD panels, which is currently only produced by a research institute in Sichuan......
There are many supply links like this that have no alternatives, after all, the domestic foundation in this area is too thin, and it took all over the country to select such suitable enterprises and research institutes.
If something really goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Xiao Song, Song Cheng!" Wang Zhongyang hurriedly shouted, and Song Cheng heard his shout and hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in, looking at him in surprise.
In Song Cheng's impression, Wang Zhongyang had never been so panicked. Even when TPV wanted to change suppliers last time, wasn't Wang Zhongyang still in danger? In the end, he successfully subdued TPV and squeezed out the world's top 500 companies like Sharp.
"Mr. Wang, what's the matter?"
"Quick, check with all the suppliers. Let's see if there are any issues with their availability, or, if there is a change of ownership......"
Looking at Song Cheng's figure running out in a hurry, the ominous premonition in Wang Zhongyang's heart became more and more obvious. This time, it was clear that Sharp and TPV had made a pitfall, and he jumped in so stupidly. Once the delivery is not on time, he shuddeers just thinking about such a result.
If the contract with TPV is not completed, BOE will face huge liquidated damages. Once the total revenue of LCD panels declines this year, the original profit of six million pieces is fully enough to repay the loan of the 5th generation line, but the liquidated damages and the decrease in profits due to insufficient production will make the repayment far away!
Once the money is not paid, not to mention the compensation will lead to the completion of the new 5th generation line in the long run, the single IPS screen and the high-voltage driver IC two patents change hands, this is already a catastrophe!
If these two patents are lost, BOE will have no place to stand in the LCD panel market. Sharp can regain control of the situation with its strong capital and technology accumulation. At that time, I am afraid that even China's domestic market will not leave a trace for BOE.
Similarly, if the 30% of TPV's shares pledged by BOE to TPV are lost, BOE and TPV will no longer be equal in the future and will no longer have any influence on them. In such a situation, I am afraid that it will depend on how Xuan Changsheng plays.
Dozens of BOE suppliers are located in Tiannan and Haibei, and it is not easy to connect. All kinds of inevitability and emergencies are inevitable, and Song Cheng went out for an afternoon before he completed the task sweating profusely. However, as soon as he entered Wang Zhongyang's office, he couldn't help but be startled!
In just one afternoon, the corners of Wang Zhongyang's mouth were blistering, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and his face was white and terrifying. His appearance startled Song Cheng, and he hurriedly asked nervously, "Mr. Wang, are you sick?" Why don't I contact the car to take you to the hospital! â
Wang Zhongyang waved his hand, opened his mouth, and drank twice in his throat and eyes, but he didn't speak.
He grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it, accidentally touched the bubble at the corner of his mouth and gasped in pain - but he didn't even have time to cry out for pain, and pointed at Song Cheng and finally spoke: "How is the situation of the investigation, is there any abnormal supply?" Have any of the suppliers been acquired recently? â
Although Song Cheng didn't quite understand what was going on, he was still inexplicably solemn, shook his head, nodded and said: "There are no enterprises with abnormal supply, and we also selected strong enterprises to build the supply chain at the beginning, but the ownership of two enterprises has changed ......"
