CPT competition.
That was a competition where Changhong tried to monopolize the market.
At that time, domestic brands joined forces to fight off foreign brands, mainly Japanese, in a price war. The TV market was dominated by Changhong, TCL, and Konka. Changhong took advantage of the latter two to focus on the marketing system and secretly signed contracts with the seven major domestic brands.
Color tube factory.
At that time, Changhong controlled 76% of the domestic 21-inch color tubes, 63% of the 25-inch color tubes, and an absolute proportion of the 29-inch color tubes. It basically achieved a monopoly on color tubes before the Spring Festival sales season.
Depending on how the situation develops, Changhong can defeat other manufacturers and occupy an absolute market share.
However, business is often not just about business considerations.
In the face of public opinion turmoil and criticism, Changhong gave a response that "market competition does not believe in tears." However, administrative intervention came faster and more powerful than expected. Multiple departments jointly formulated the "Trial Measures for Stopping Unfair Competition in Color Picture Tubes".
It was implemented immediately after only being issued for half a month.
This is a turning point for Changhong from prosperity to decline.
Ni Runfeng has always felt regret in his heart.
For other manufacturers, that period was indeed a life and death moment. In order to get CPT, they begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother, which was a very low profile, and they naturally gritted their teeth against Changhong's behavior.
Speaking of which, it was only 5 years ago.
In just five years, the market structure of the domestic TV industry has changed again, and foreign brands are once again ready to move, relying on the upgrade of LCD technology.
"I can't compare to Mr. Huang. I have been working in the enterprise all my life. Now I just want to be more practical." Ni Runfeng's response to Huang Hongsheng was very simple. He did not want to engage in tit-for-tat. What he is most concerned about now is Changhong's LCD products launched this month. Other things
They are all very bearish.
Huang Hongsheng looked at Ni Runfeng's expression, which was extremely boring.
He glanced twice and saw Chen Weirong from Kangjia looking at him with an unkind expression. This man had learned the style a long time ago, smelly and hard.
Huang Hongsheng laughed twice at Chen Weirong, nodded, turned and left.
He doesn't want to join the chat here, and he doesn't want to see a group of clearly alienated guys chatting like a family.
With the departure of the head of a first-tier brand, the Changhong booth was no longer lively, and everyone found excuses to disperse.
"Old Ni, why didn't you take action just now? Beat him up." Fang Zhuo said with hatred.
Ni Runfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mr. Fang, you didn't come either."
"I have to pay attention to my demeanor. Regardless of your age, who can believe that you made the first move? Besides, this is Shanghai, are you afraid that I can't get you out?" Fang Zhuo was in a good mood, pretending to be angry.
"Mr. Fang, thank you. I'll pay attention next time." Ni Runfeng said helplessly, "But he is here for you."
Fang Zhuo looked at Huang Hongsheng's retreating figure and wondered whether the B2C channel could be used as a weapon against Skyworth in the future. He replied: "I have no enmity with him. The last time I asked him for help, he didn't do it either."
Help, why are you coming at me?"
"Maybe it's because Mr. Fang has too much money." Su Wei offered a point of view.
Do Forbes rich people hate the rich?
The perspective is very novel.
Fang Zhuo shook his head and revised his impression of Huang Hongsheng in his mind, but he didn't worry about it. He was the kind of person with magnanimity.
However, the interviews that followed further revised my impression.
For this product and technology exhibition, although the media reporters were always very enthusiastic, they did not invest all their resources in Mr. Fang and had to make on-site materials.
The head of Skyworth has a strong position in the industry, is more relevant, and is also a Forbes billionaire, so he naturally accepted the interview.
"This exhibition is actually just symbolic."
"But even if the symbolic significance is not great, we don't have this market in China, and I'm afraid there won't be one in the next few years."
"Haha, companies like TI and Epson, especially TI, as far as I know, cost a lot of money, and they also find people outside the industry to recruit domestic manufacturers to use DLP technology. I can only say that it is of little significance and of no use.
"
Huang Hongsheng was interviewed frankly and talked about many things.
He didn't mention Mr. Fang a word, but he seemed to keep mentioning Mr. Fang.
The interview location is not far away.
Many people have heard Huang Hongsheng's statement, but he is an industry leader and no one in the world will stand up to refute whatever he likes. What's more, what he said seems to be unreasonable.
However, Fang Zhuo's face really didn't look good.
Ni Runfeng and Chen Weirong are both company leaders. They also talked to Mr. Fang at that time and knew the situation. Looking at Mr. Fang's face now, they feel that Huang Hongsheng has offended Mr. Fang very badly.
But this person really wanted to list the company in Xiangjiang, and the TV industry had nothing to do with Mr. Fang, so he choked a little and just said it.
On the other hand, generally speaking, it's okay for the other party to treat a little choking as noise.
This is what Chen Weirong thought.
As for Ni Runfeng, he just waits to watch the excitement. He won't see it today, he won't see it next year, he won't see it next year, and he won't see it the year after that. It's Mr. Fang's method, which he has personally tried.
The media was quite excited about Huang Hongsheng's interview. Technology exhibitions don't stir up much fuss, but at least a little splash is worth talking about.
Originally I could only write about Epson and Texas Instruments displaying technical standards at a technology exhibition in Shanghai, but now I can write about Texas Instruments wooing domestic manufacturers to whitewash it.
We can even dig out the person outside the industry that Mr. Huang mentioned.
The equipment and technology exhibition continues, with manufacturers listing their products, Epson and Texas Instruments explaining technology, and media reporters taking notes.
Fang Zhuo suppressed his displeasure, which increased by a numerical value, and waited until we could meet again in the future. The domestic TV industry would upgrade to LCD products, and the most critical cost part was the panel.
This field is dominated by foreign countries, but BOE acquired the LCD business of South Korea's Hyundai last year and plans to independently build a fifth-generation TFT-LCD production line in Beijing.
Such a breakthrough is not easy and expensive, but it will break the price monopoly of foreign panels.
Otherwise, the cost proportion of TV in this area may be as high as 60% or more.
BOE is a company that "used to" make Luzhou famous, and Fang Zhuo is willing to help such a company with technological breakthroughs settle in Luzhou "again."
Therefore, the country is so big and there are many friends and many paths, so there will always be opportunities to meet each other in the future.
Fang Zhuo's thoughts only changed slightly, and he quickly threw away the displeasure caused by rhubarb.
The main purpose of coming here today is to make friends with several home appliance companies and to show off the friendship of being a landlord in Shencheng. Don't lose big for small things.
The technology exhibition continues. Although it is somewhat repetitive and boring, Fang Zhuo, Chen Weirong, Ni Runfeng, and senior executives from companies such as Hisense and TCL have common topics when they talk about markets and channels.
At the end of the evening time, a banquet was held in the evening.
Fang Zhuo didn't put on airs at all. After three rounds of drinking, someone took the initiative to angrily mention Huang Hongsheng, who was standing in the camp of many foreign brands today, on behalf of the richest man.
"It's a small thing, not worth worrying about." Fang Zhuo said this, there will be more time in the future.
"Mr. Huang is quite stubborn." Chen Weirong commented without saying much.
This little incident has been revealed.
The dinner is over.
Yike's special car will take you back to the hotel.
"Mr. Fang, have you figured out what's going on between Mr. Huang and you?"
"No, I have experienced it on behalf of others. It is more about celebrating with you Changhong. If there is a chance to fight with Mr. Huang, let's see."
Chen Weirong went to the bathroom, and when he came out to the car, he heard Mr. Fang and Mr. Ni chatting. He further judged that Mr. Huang had offended someone, and estimated that the competition between Changhong and Skyworth might take another dimension in the future.
However, Skyworth’s current products and markets are indeed very strong, and it will not be easy for Changhong to compete.
Chen Weirong made this judgment in his mind. Seeing that the two of them had changed the topic, he knew it and didn't mention it.
The Huaxia International Audiovisual Integrated Equipment and Technology Exhibition lasted for two days. Chen Weirong received warm hospitality from Mr. Fang. He also felt that the young president was very kind and had a good business vision. Before going back, he made an appointment to have dinner in Luzhou next time.
On December 17, Chen Weirong took the opportunity to return to Pengcheng.
However, as soon as he landed, he heard shocking news that something had happened to Mr. Huang.
