Chapter 408: Put into production
"The car is coming, the car is coming!"
The imperial capital, the new factory that BOE has been building since the beginning of the year, has finally completed the final preparations.
The weather in early summer is just right, not too hot, but the spring cold has completely receded. Just like China's LCD industry, it has ended its gestation stage and is about to usher in the moment of budding.
A convoy of more than a dozen cars appeared from the end of the road, and naturally a staff member who came out of the front informed the superior leaders via the walkie-talkie.
When the convoy approached the gate of the BOE factory, the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out.
Crackling firecrackers rang out, and thick green smoke gradually enveloped the factory gate. The convoy stopped on the side of the road not far from the factory gate, the doors of each car opened, and the people in the cars jumped out of the cars.
The crowd of people who came out of the car gradually gathered in front of the first car, solemnly and quietly waiting for the firecrackers to burn out.
In a few hours, the firecrackers burned out. However, before the smoke of the firecrackers had dissipated, a figure stepped out from behind the smoke.
Behind him, figure after figure stepped out from either side of him. The first row of the line could not stand, so the second row appeared, and the third row appeared......
The crowd of people emerging from the smoke was endless, like layers of mountains.
Until a breeze blew from the sky, sweeping away the thin layer of smoke. The crowd gradually lifted its veil, revealing its full appearance.
The people who came out of the factory were both successful people in suits and leather shoes, as well as workers in overalls. There are intellectuals in tunics and pens pinned to their chests, and there are also leading cadres with trouser belts tied to the creaky nests. No matter what kind of dress or status. No matter whether they are tall, short, fat or thin, men and women, old and ugly, everyone stood at the gate of the factory with a stern expression, and everyone consciously did not make a sound......
"Mr. Zhou."
Tang Ya, who was wearing a women's suit, stood beside Zhou Shuo. asked in a low voice: "Did you organize everyone and line up to go over?" ”
Zhou Shuo nodded slightly, and said softly: "It's okay, let everyone line up and follow me." ”
"Yes."
Tang Ya whispered a few words, and the people around Zhou Shuo formed two neat rows behind him. Then waited for Zhou Shuo to take a step, and then followed his steps forward.
Opposite the BOE factory, the front of the crowd came out. Standing is Wang Zhongyang, the current general manager of BOE. Seeing Zhou Shuo walking towards this side, he hurriedly led the people behind him over.
Wang Zhongyang walked quickly and eagerly, and stretched out his hand from a distance. He looked a little excited. It can be seen that he is very high-spirited and proud.
"Mr. Zhou, all the employees of BOE, and the representatives of all the participating units of the Jinglong Plan, are looking forward to your arrival!"
Wang Zhongyang grabbed Zhou Shuo's hand tightly. Shaking vigorously. Zhou Shuo felt that his hands were about to be crushed. It seems that this is not the case, which is not enough to express the excitement of Wang Zhongyang.
"I'm late, I've been waiting for a long time!"
Zhou Shuo's face did not change, let Wang Zhongyang hold his hand and did not let go, and said with a smile: "As an apology, I will pay for the celebration banquet tonight, whether we go to the imperial capital to roast duck or Donglaishun in the imperial capital, it is all up to you!" ”
"Then we're not welcome. Mr. Zhou is waiting to break the fortune! The crowd burst into laughter.
"Mr. Zhou, please, BOE's commissioning ceremony is about to begin." Wang Zhongyang turned his head. He shouted angrily: "Please invite Mr. Zhou and all colleagues from Fanhan Group to enter the factory!" ”
"Please Mr. Zhou and colleagues from Fanhan Group to enter the factory!"
The crowd behind Wang Zhongyang instantly parted a way from the middle, and Zhou Shuo bowed to the crowd in the midst of all the attention, and then Shi Shiran walked over.
The moment he stepped into the crowd, thunderous applause erupted on both sides. In the crowd, people clapped their hands excitedly, as if it was not enough to express their feelings.
Yes, a year ago, China was a TFT-LCD desert. However, in just one year, it not only solved the TFT-LCD production technology from scratch, but also pulled a group of Chinese enterprises to build a TFT-LCD industrial chain.
Wang Zhongyang only needs to think about it, last year's BOE was just a so-called "joint venture" party working for the Japanese, and this year it has established its own LCD panel production plant.
See, BOE is also going to have its own "core technology"! From now on, BOE no longer has to look at the faces of the Japanese, no longer has to be guarded like a thief, and no longer has to bear the accomplice of the Japanese to erode the Chinese market.
Only such a company is what he wants to do!
Not only Zhou Shuo, but all the employees of Fanhan Group who followed him were all welcomed by the mezzanine.
Working in a company that can lead the entire industry is not only rewarding with money, but also with the meaning of life. At this moment, the executives of Fanhan Group behind Zhou Shuo also felt that their hard work in the past year had been rewarded perfectly!
Yes, it was June 1997. A year has passed, and in this year, with the support of the strong financial resources of Panhan Group, the Jinglong plan has been promoted very smoothly.
Enterprises with technical foundation have been upgraded, and their production capacity has been greatly improved. Enterprises without technical foundation have been matched by the Jinglong Plan and have carried out all-round cooperation with domestic scientific research institutes. For the first time in China, there is a full set of TFT-LCD technologies, and there are even more enterprises using these technologies.
The cooperative manufacturers are not limited to state-owned enterprises, and many private enterprises are also involved. With the entire Jinglong plan and BOE's $500 million production line as a guarantee, it is too easy for cooperative enterprises to get loans. As long as the supply agreement signed with BOE and the technical data of scientific research institutes are auctioned over, these manufacturers are the best loan targets.
Even Chinese TV companies, which have been plagued by the lack of cores and screens, have seized this opportunity to develop upstream of LCD TVs in the future. TCL, Skyworth, Konka, Changhong, the four giants of the color TV industry, have also extended an olive branch to BOE. At present, a 4.5 generation production line has been built, although it is wholly owned by BOE, but a 5 generation line that is planned to be built in the future has been divided by these downstream manufacturers.
Faced with the second phase of the plan of up to 800 million US dollars,The four major color TV giants have united Lenovo、Founder、Three computer companies of the Great Wall,Plus BOE has a total of eight,It is easy to make up this money。
Chinese companies are not without money, without foresight, or without courage. There is only a glimmer of hope, and they will not be willing to be controlled by foreign companies.
Of course, Zhou Shuo is happy to let these downstream manufacturers invest in the production of upstream LCD panels, after all, the production of LCD panels still needs to be sold, but also promoted. Without the joining of these companies, it is not so easy to let LCD technology enter thousands of households.
Today, the crowd who came to the gate of the BOE factory to greet the Panhan Group were not only BOE cooperative manufacturers, cooperative scientific research institutes, but also representatives of these downstream manufacturers.
And their excitement is not much worse than that of those who directly benefit. The domestic color TV industry has a production capacity of 40 million units, but the demand is only 25 million, you can imagine how fierce the competition is. But the worst thing is the profit of the color TV industry,2000Before the domestic color TV price remained high,But the profit was mainly made by the Japanese manufacturers who produced chips and large-size screens。 Changhong's sales in 1999 were 12 billion, but the profit was only a pitiful 600 million.
The 4.5 generation line LCD screen can produce the LCD panel required by the 15-inch LCD display, while BOE's next 5th generation line can produce the 32-inch LCD TV panel! Once there is a 5th generation or even a 6th generation line in China, it will completely get rid of the Japanese control over China's color TV industry! Think about the profits that can be released from this, how can it not make people's hearts boil?
Therefore, the representatives of these downstream manufacturers are even more eager than the manufacturers who have already joined! Of course, when facing Zhou Shuo and Fanhan Group, he will be more enthusiastic!
The trend of China's LCD industry can be held in the hands of this young man!
After a brief ceremony, Wang Zhongyang couldn't wait to hand the microphone to Zhou Shuo's hand, and said with anticipation: "Mr. Zhou, please say a few words to everyone." We don't have too many cumbersome ceremonies, but we can't chill everyone's minds, right? ”
"Then I'll say a few words." Zhou Shuo slowly walked onto the rostrum and took the microphone from Wang Zhongyang's hand.
"It's really not easy!" Zhou Shuo stood on the rostrum of the commissioning ceremony and looked around with deep feelings, and everyone in the audience was silent, quietly listening to him and said: "In nearly a year, we Chinese have completed the construction of the entire TFT-LCD liquid crystal industry chain. It's very unimaginable to put this abroad. ”
"The instruments and equipment of the Japanese can be purchased through the United States and Germany, and the earliest liquid crystal technology was also acquired by the Americans. It took the Japanese nearly three years to complete the construction of the entire production chain. But even so, it is still impossible for the Japanese to produce LCD panels completely on their own. Their substrate glass needs to be supplied by Corning in the United States, ITO magnetic sputtering coating technology is from Germany, and meteorological precipitation equipment is from Applied Materials in the United States. ”
"But we Chinese did it! We can proudly say that we don't need the help of any country in the world, we in China can provide a qiē resource needed to produce LCD panels! And this achievement is inseparable from the efforts of everyone present! (To be continued......)
