Chapter 1072: Thorough Analysis
Li Siwen explained while eating the food: "First of all, I do not like William's arrogance very much, and saying these words can be regarded as a lesson for him, but as my brother thought, this provocation does seem naΓ―ve.
But although naΓ―ve, I can intuitively express my attitude to William, I just want him to understand that in the field of liquid crystal, they are not good, they are still far from Japan, even if Motorola is the most cutting-edge technology company, it is still trampled under the feet of Japan.
Even if the secretary named Vera defended that the company's field of gravity was different, how could the arrogant Lao Mei not take this matter to heart? You know, the liquid crystal technology was sold to Japan by the United States.
There is also a small story in this, in the early sixties, Motorola also invested in the panel field, and finally failed, cutting the production line in the panel field is one of the feats of the current president Robert, and my words today will definitely enter Robert's ears. β
Li Siwen's words made everyone fall into deep thought, and Lu Shuhang frowned and said: "Are you trying to provoke the relationship between Motorola and Japan?" β
"It should be said that I want to break the harmony between the beautiful country and the Japanese country." Li Siwen explained slowly: "Dating back to 1960, the first LCD LCD panel was born in the beautiful country, after years of research, there have been a number of high-tech companies to invest in LCD panel research and development, including HP, Motorola, communications, AT, RCA and other companies, and finally all gave up, the reason is very simple, the LCD field costs a lot, but the income is very small.
By 1972, the beautiful country had completely given up the research of liquid crystal, but Japan chose to enter the game, and bought all the technology back, Seiko and Sharp were the leaders in the purchase of technology, and the two then used the display technology in computers, electronic watches and other objects.
At the beginning, such an investment was very lossy, but with the development of the times, more and more equipment needs LCD panels, Japan relies on the technology in hand, the market share has soared, until the complete monopoly of this industry, now 96% of the world's LCD panels come from Japan, what a terrible number.
Hundreds of panel companies, large and small, from the upstream raw materials, to the midstream production process, to the downstream market, are completely in the hands of Japan.
In the face of this pattern, if I want to break through the blockade of Japan, it is impossible for me, then there is only one way, which is to force them to bow to me! β
Li Siwen's tone suddenly became cold, and everyone also took a deep breath, and Lu Shuhang hurriedly confirmed: "You mean to make those Japanese companies bow their heads?" β
"That's right, and the only one who can break this game is the beautiful country." Li Siwen continued to say in a deep voice: "Since the LCD panel has become more and more widely used, the beautiful country has realized the crisis, and in the early 1990s, IBM and NEC have been allowed to enter the game, but how can they be compared with Japan that has invested for decades, basically there are no big achievements, and they are not willing to invest."
This is why the United States supports Korean companies to enter the panel field, which Miss Li should know better than me. β
Li Fuzhen nodded lightly: "In fact, in addition to our Samsung Group, LG Group and some Taiwan companies have also received proposals from Lao Mei, saying that a proposal is actually an order." Li Fuzhen paused slightly and continued: "I'm curious, how do you get the beautiful country to help break the game. β
"The beautiful country in 1992 submitted a bill to sanction LCD panels, but at that time, because Clinton had just taken office, because some factors did not pass the bill, but today is different from the past, in addition to the rapid growth of the Japanese market, the demand for the beautiful country is also increasing."
Hearing Li Siwen's words, Li Fuzhen immediately said: "So as long as you add fuel to the fire and let the beautiful country sanction Japan, you can counter the entire Japanese panel market, and then the Japanese state-owned enterprises will definitely bow to you?" β
After Li Fuzhen finished speaking, everyone showed a look of horror almost at the same time, Chen Qiuyu muttered in a low voice: "Fifty percent of the market of Japanese LCD panels is in the beautiful country, Japan is sanctioned, and there must be a wail from Japan up and down." β
"And now the Japanese economy is already in pain, LCD panel is the core pillar industry of Japan, if the beautiful country really makes a dead hand, then those companies will beg us to buy." Zheng Jiayu also said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Shuhang couldn't help but take the words: "I thought you were here to sweep the goods, but I didn't expect you to do this, you hid too deeply, right?" β
"Brother, there is a saying that the times create heroes, I just adapt to the times." Li Siwen said with a smile.
"Don't say it so lofty, you kid is a loss, damn, they can't think of your purpose even after racking their brains, admire, brother admire!" Lu Shuhang was excited, and after calming down, he said with a little worry: "Will the beautiful country really fulfill your wish?" If a policy is not introduced immediately, Datang is likely to not survive! β
"That's exactly why I bought the LCD for ten times the price." Li Siwen's eyes burst out with confidence: "I want to shake the entire market with my own strength." β
There was an amazing momentum around the box, and everyone focused their eyes on Li Siwen's face, in this rich land, no one would believe anyone who said this, even Bill Gates.
But today, when Li Siwen said this, no one would doubt that anyone here had experienced a big scene, but everyone was still convinced.
Li Siwen did not explain what would happen next, or how to operate, and everyone did not continue to ask, because everyone knew that since the mystery had been revealed, the process was no longer important, and everyone believed that Li Siwen would do all this.
"Eat, the mapo tofu in this house is really authentic, eat more." Li Siwen greeted everyone while eating, and said at the end: "By the way, tomorrow morning, Jiayu and Qiu Yu, you two will go to finalize the details of the contract, remember to fax it to Xu Weiwei, and wait until the legal department confirms that there is no problem with the contract before signing it, and strive to get it done in one day." β
"No problem." Zheng Jiayu nodded.
"By the way, Qiuyu, after eating, you can contact Chang Hai, let the headquarters prepare to start work, and at the same time reduce the price of our VCD chips directly to fifteen dollars."
"Fifteen dollars?"
Everyone was shocked at the same time, the price was almost bottoming out, and Chen Qiuyu hurriedly said: "Then the profit of our VCD chip will only be five dollars." β
"Philips chips are priced at 40 US dollars, Samsung chips are priced at 50 US dollars, and they are released during the period when I was sanctioned by Japan, they don't want me to feel better, how can I make them feel better, the horn of counterattack has sounded, I want to use the usual means of technological hegemony to completely crush the dream of these two companies to enter the VCD chip market."
"What if Philips and Samsung follow suit?" Chen Qiuyu asked again.
"They will definitely follow up with the price reduction, after all, after so long in research and development, it can't rot in their hands. But our advantage is that the investment of the two of them is much larger than ours, and Datang has already earned enough benefits. Li Siwen paused slightly: "As long as they dare to lower, we will continue to lower, even if the chip is reduced below the cost price, we must not hesitate." β
"I see." Chen Qiuyu nodded.
Lu Shuhang sighed: "Not only do we have to break the technical blockade, but also fight a price war with two of the world's top companies at the same time. β
"That's interesting!" Li Siwen laughed and said to everyone: "Don't look preoccupied, eat more, I've said it a few times." β
Li Siwen urged everyone, and even asked the waiter to serve a bottle of good wine and began to drink with everyone, but no one dared to drink more, because everyone knew the difficulties ahead.

In a high-end hotel in Chicago, Son's expression was gloomy like a wax figure, he was worth nearly two billion, and he appeared on the wine table with confidence, and he thought that the 1.5 million LCD panels were already in his pocket. And as long as Motorola is won, other manufacturers naturally dare not easily sell the panel to Li Siwen.
But he never expected that Li Siwen would not follow the routine and directly raise the price by ten times, such a price is not only shocking, it is simply unreasonable.
Son Masayoshi was aggrieved and uncomfortable with defeat, he never thought that he, the richest man in Japan, would lose in money.
"." The more Sun thought about it, the more angry he became, and he cursed.
"Hey, I'm the prince of Samsung Group, Brother Dongbin is the young master of Lotte Group, and Brother Justice is the richest man in Japan, why did the three of us lose to that kid combined?" Li Zairong gritted his teeth: "It's only 75 million US dollars, can't we take it out?" β
"That's right, how can the identities of the three of us be lost to a man who is about to go bankrupt?" Xin Dongbin said indignantly.
"Enough, the two of you are complaining in this yin and yang weirdness, why didn't you make a noise when Li Siwen said seventy-five million?" Masayoshi Son said angrily.
"I ...... We're waiting for you to decide! Lee Jae-yong hurriedly replied.
"I'm in charge? I think you two want me to pay for it alone. Sun Zhengyi continued with a cold face: "It's not that I can't afford to take the money, it's because this kind of behavior is not advisable, you two know that you are hiding behind, do you want me to be the wrongdoer?" β
"Brother Justice, don't get me wrong, we didn't mean that, we just lost to Li Siwen and were unhappy." Lee Jae-yong hurriedly smiled.
"Okay, can I not know what you two think?" Son took out a cigarette, took a few puffs to calm down, and said, "We lost at the dinner table, but this is not necessarily a bad thing." β
"Brother Justice, do you have any other way?" Lee Jae-yong asked.
"If you think about it, the cost of MP3 used to cost 40 US dollars, and now a display screen costs 45 US dollars more, so now the cost price of MP3 is at least 80 US dollars, and the MP3 market price is 70 US dollars, Li Siwen's only strategy is to increase the price, but once the price is too high, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the market. He wants to rely on this 1.5 million LCD to revitalize the enterprise, which is obviously whimsical.
Moreover, once this tenfold price is passed out, the entire beautiful country with a display screen will not sell it to him at a low price, how much money do you think he has to throw into it? Son Zhengyi smiled coldly: "He obviously didn't have a brain to do this." β
"That's right, when his funds are broken, it's too late to regret it, my dad said that if a businessman doesn't calculate the cost, it will definitely be a thunderstorm." After Li Zairong finished speaking, he looked at Sun Zhengyi and said, "Brother Zhengyi, what should we do next?" β
"Simple, contact a few media outlets, expose this matter, and I want everyone in the United States to know how stupid Li Siwen is." Son gritted his teeth.
Son Masayoshi thought that he had pinched Li Siwen's tail, but he didn't expect that he would be led by Li Siwen every step of the way.
ββ
Late at night, on the balcony of a hotel, Li Siwen, who was leaning against the fence, lit a cigarette, and the gray sky was like an airtight quilt pressing on him.
Li Siwen's idea is very beautiful, and he knows that the beautiful country doubled the punitive tariffs on Japan's LCD screen in 1996, and what he is doing now is to make the sanctions come in advance, but he is not sure whether it will succeed, after all, everything is in the hands of Lao Mei, he is very smart, but people are smarter.
Creak!
The door to the balcony was opened, and Li Fuzhen walked out wearing a scarf, and her size was even more obvious in the dark.
"Haven't slept yet?" Li Siwen spoke.
"Can't sleep." Li Fuzhen walked to Li Siwen's side, then stretched out his hand and said, "Can you give me one?" β
Li Siwen took out a cigarette from his arms and handed it to the other party, then helped the other party light it, and said faintly: "I'm sorry, I regard Samsung as an opponent." β
"There's nothing to be sorry about, after all, Samsung has long regarded you as an opponent." Li Fuzhen took a puff of cigarette and said, "On the contrary, it is me who should apologize for causing you so much trouble." β
"It has nothing to do with you, this is my fate, the moment I open my eyes, I am destined to be the enemy of the world." Li Siwen once again uttered his wise words.
"The moment you open your eyes, you're destined to be the enemy of the world." Li Fuzhen muttered to herself, and after a while, she whispered: "You are the best man I have ever met in my life, your courage, your mind, and your profound knowledge deeply attract me, although these words are very shameful, I still can't control myself, please accept my worship." β
Li Siwen was stunned for a few seconds, and replied with a smile: "If it's worship, I'm willing to accept it, but if it's a confession, I'm afraid it won't work, you must know that my daughters are already in elementary school haha!" β
Li Fuzhen smiled tactfully: "Confession? You're too beautiful, aren't you? I'm a three-star princess. β
Li Siwen also laughed, and changed the topic: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask!" β
"Can we really win?"
