Chapter 470: Heart

Wang Zhongyang did not happily agree to Zhou Shuo's three chapters of the covenant, but lowered his head and pondered silently.

Of course, if he really didn't hesitate, Zhou Shuo would have to doubt his sincerity and reason. This kind of major event that may affect many industries in China, it is impossible for him to even make his own decisions, but to obtain the understanding and support of his superiors.

Especially for things like the formation of industrial alliances, without an official intermediary liaison organization, it is difficult to achieve the goal with the capabilities of Fanhan Group and BOE. At this time, the temperament of state-owned enterprises in China has not yet departed from the trap of the planned economy, and economic efficiency is not the absolute driving force. If you really want to meet the kind of elm head where more things are better than less things, it has to be better if you have the words of your superiors.

"Mr. Zhou, I have written down all three requirements." Wang Zhongyang nodded a little heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "After I go back, I will immediately start to contact the leaders above and domestic counterparts, and strive to form a preliminary intention in the matter of the industrial alliance......

"Be quick, not until next year at the latest." Zhou Shuo patiently listened to Wang Zhongyang's statement and said: "I expect that the economy of Japan and South Korea, and even the whole of Asia will be turbulent next year. ”

Wang Zhongyang doesn't know much about finance, but he doesn't have much feeling about it.

What he really cares about is that Zhou Shuo asked BOE not to hide the LCD panel technology. The investment in the research and development of the entire set of LCD production technology may cost three or four billion yuan, and the level involved may even be presided over by the leaders at the level of the State Planning Commission, but such achievements cannot be held in their own hands.

Wang Zhongyang is the person in charge of the development of liquid crystal technology. It's really a little unwilling.

But he also understands that since the Pan Han Group will not be involved in the production of LCD panels. Then the interests and BOE are inconsistent. BOE wants the profit of producing LCD panels, while Fanhan Group wants the profits of LCD panel production equipment. Only domestic LCD technology is developed. The increase in the use of liquid crystal and the continuous launch of liquid crystal production lines are the most in line with the interests of Pan Han Group.

To put it bluntly, the high-voltage driver IC can only be produced by Fanhan Group, and every domestic LCD monitor must be purchased from them. If there is only one BOE, the usage is always limited. Moreover, the downstream shipments are in the hands of an enterprise, which is also not in line with the principle of operation.

Whether it is for the implementation of the LCD strategy or the safety of the upstream of the industrial chain of Panhan Group, the diffusion of LCD panel technology in China is an inevitable choice.

"Mr. Zhou, I don't think anyone can give it to everyone. Want me to say. It's better to make a charter. Wang Zhongyang was a little worried that BOE would end up empty.

"Mr. Wang, what we have to do is a big thing that will affect how many industries." Zhou Shuo couldn't help frowning, and said: "Be more open-minded, the more allies who join our team, the better the chance of winning the battle with Japan and South Korea." ”

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the atmosphere in the domestic business community was really not very good. In foreign countries, no matter which country is Japan or South Korea, they all rush out to make other people's money. But it is the turn of domestic LCD manufacturers. Everyone's mood is not so aligned.

Historically, in 2005, the three major LCD panel manufacturers in China had considered huddle for heating. That's because the LCD market shrank at that time, and the cost continued to fall after Japanese and Korean companies upgraded their production lines. The life of domestic LCD panel manufacturers is suddenly not easy.

In that difficult day, the relevant leaders of the state at that time took the lead, hoping to unite the three largest LCD panel manufacturers in China, Shangguang Electronics, Kunshan Longteng and BOE. The combination of strong and powerful groups for heating not only standardizes the development of the domestic LCD market. and can survive this cold winter.

However, who knew that the joint plan was just a bit eyebrow-raising, and the market for LCD panels on the market ushered in a spring breeze. May 2006. The price of LCD panels has skyrocketed by 20%!

When this good news came, the three joint Tiyì suddenly disappeared. It doesn't matter if it is the will of God, whether it is the hearts of the people, whether it is the eyes of the rats, it is not for a reason.

Zhou Shuo really didn't want the industrial alliance he set up to end up in such a situation.

The key to this, in fact, to put it bluntly, is still four words: core technology. The generation gap between domestic LCD technology and Japanese and South Korean technology is even greater than the generation gap between the level of chip manufacturing and the Americans. The production of LCD panels is a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry. China's prides itself on low labor costs, and there is not much advantage here.

The generation difference of more than three generations at the highest level has been offset by any labor cost advantage. What's more, in terms of product technical indicators, domestic products can't be used, and they can only hover at the low end of the industry.

Under such a market reality, companies can't go out, or the international market is not much chance of winning after the union. In such a reality, it is not surprising that the three companies are reluctant to go out and forge ahead, and only want to be the king and dominate in China.

After all, not to mention the benefits of the alliance, the enterprise after the union is a thorn in the side of foreign enterprises. When the time comes, the hard-won good days will pass again. Otherwise, why did the price of LCD panels suddenly rise at the critical moment of the merger of three domestic companies? Without him, foreign LCD companies know that they can't force the domestic to be in a hurry, let you have a way out, don't make trouble for me.

The three domestic LCD companies are also good to accept, if you let me live, I will naturally not fight to the death.

As for why it was so light, it died down? Because the three companies know that without technical advantages, they may not be able to beat others.

The game between foreign manufacturers, domestic manufacturers and leaders of relevant departments is really complicated, and Zhou Shuo never wants to do such an industrial alliance. Since he wants to do it, he wants to be an indomitable united front, but he can't be satisfied with a mouse carrying a gun.

Don't you see so many industries in Fanhan Group, which one is competing with domestic enterprises for the market? He really doesn't care to do this kind of thing of fighting in the muddy pond.

Wang Zhongyang was blushed by what Zhou Shuo said, but he still explained: "Mr. Zhou misunderstood, I don't mean to oppose the transfer of technology, but the transfer of technology can't be hasty." The domestic market is so large, and there are still cost and technical difficulties in the popularization of liquid crystal displays. If we can't limit the number of companies that enter, we will suffer in the end, aren't we? ”

But he didn't want Zhou Shuo to wave his hand, and said indifferently: "As long as Mr. Wang promises not to close the door to technology transfer, these details can be discussed after the cooperation intention is determined." ”

"However, Mr. Wang said that the domestic market is limited, and I can't agree with this. In my opinion, our alliance will definitely go abroad in the end, and no matter how large the production capacity is, it will be digested. Even if it is a domestic market, it may not be so easy to fill up......"

"That's it, you know that our Fanhan Group has three breakthroughs in LCD technology, and it's not too late for us to talk about it after seeing the third one."

Wang Zhongyang thought about it, nodded reluctantly, and said, "Okay, I'll see what technology Mr. Zhou still has in his hands." ”

In his thoughts, Zhou Shuo's first two technological breakthroughs can be said to be shocking in China. Whether it is a driver IC or an ITO lithography machine, it has something to do with the main business of Panhan Group, and it is unexpected and reasonable to make a breakthrough. But this third technology, he really can't think of any other link in the production of LCD panels, which can be related to lithography machines or chip manufacturing.

Maybe it's a technical problem in which production process has been solved? Wang Zhongyang thought like this, but he also felt that there was some truth. After all, in order to master the technology of liquid crystal production, it is also very valuable to tackle technical problems in such details. With the financial resources of Panhan Group, even if you are not good at it, you can make some results.

Wang Zhongyang followed Zhou Shuo and Huang Shen out of the clean room, but this time he didn't go far, and opened an internal space that needed to be classified in this real room.

Zhou Shuo personally swiped the sensor with his ID card, the transparent glass door opened automatically, and the lighting system began to work.

There is nothing special in the secret test room in this underground laboratory. The only thing that's a little strange is that an entire wall has been converted into an LCD wall. Wang Zhongyang didn't know how many LCD panels were spliced into this wall for a while, but this feeling was really shocking.

"What is this place for......" Wang Zhongyang asked with some amazement as he stood in the center of the room.

"This is a command center monitoring system, which can be used as a traffic monitoring center, transportation deployment center, war command center, financial decision-making center and other institutions that need complex information display, providing intuitive, fast and large-scale display functions. Due to the use of liquid crystal technology, the display range per unit area is much larger than that of CRT video wall......"

"Oh, that's a great way to go." Wang Zhongyang nodded and agreed.

"Okay, Lao Huang, turn on the system and access the test screen." Zhou Shuo turned his head and looked at Huang Shen, who was operating, and said.

Huang Shen performed some operations on the console, and the displays on the LCD wall began to light up one after another. When the entire wall lit up, even Wang Zhongyang took two steps back in shock. This realistic picture sense, after eliminating the wide side of the video wall, really makes people feel like they are there.

"It's so beautiful!" Wang Zhongyang sighed intoxicatedly and said admiringly: "Fanhan Group is really worthy of its name, which is breathtaking!" ”

Zhou Shuo shook his head, patted Wang Zhongyang's shoulder and turned his body around for half a circle, and when his eyes looked at the edge of the display wall, he said, "Mr. Wang, don't you feel that our display wall is anything special?" (To be continued......)
