May 19, morning.
The teams of BOE and TV Alliance were divided into two groups, one was dealing with Panasonic, and the other was negotiating the LCD Alliance.
A few days after Panasonic head Yoichi Morishita arrived in Beijing, he finally stated that Panasonic is willing to publish 10 plasma-related patents for free and license 20 plasma core patents at low prices.
10+20=30.
A total of thirty items.
Compared with the 298 patents announced by Changhong, Panasonic's highly valuable patent move moved everyone present in China.
Ni Runfeng even laughed...
Even though there is no place for plasma in Changhong's plan, seeing his big brother in the camp looking forward and backward, he still couldn't help but reasoned out the severe situation facing the plasma industry today.
This was a normal business negotiation, and Fang Zhuo looked on with cold eyes.
Yoichi Morishita listened carefully to the judgments and requirements from China TV Enterprises, made a decisive decision, and added 5 free patent authorizations, thus forming a 35+298 plasma patent matrix.
35+298=333.
After the morning negotiation ended, Ni Runfeng looked melancholy.
Fang Zhuo said with relief: "The chairman of Panasonic is right. The two of you have 333 patents in total. This has lowered the entry threshold. Even if they still hold on to the core patents, it is as they should be."
He smiled and said: "There are already 333 items, what else do you want? Do you want to drive Panasonic to death!"
Ni Runfeng complained helplessly: "Yes, yes, 333 patents, with an average of 166.5 technology patents per company. Mr. Fang, you can let your Sina write like this. Panasonic and Changhong each released an average of nearly 200 technology patents to help plasma
Industrial Development."
Fang Zhuo shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, the number announced by Changhong is easy to check. It needs to be written as a total of hundreds of technology patents from both companies. This will not be easy for competitors to estimate. It may be seven or eight hundred."
"One soldier is a raging army, and a den of generals is raging. With a leader like Panasonic in plasma, there is no need to worry about being undefeated." Ni Runfeng sighed.
"From a purely business perspective, it's okay, but I'm not trying to shoulder the heavy responsibility for the development of the overall industry. If I don't try to achieve both prosperity and success, I may end up losing both." Fang Zhuo threw a cigarette to Lao Ni and asked, "Changhong
How is the inside now?"
Ni Runfeng replied: "We are all paying attention to the status of this project, and some people are asking the leaders to reflect on what I have said in the company."
He conducted a self-assessment: "Next year at the latest."
"There is not much time left for Zhang Xuebin." Fang Zhuo smiled.
Ni Runfeng said "Hmm": "I wonder how Zhang Xuebin and the others went about their talks with the LCD Alliance today."
It is precisely because of some replacement arrangements that Zhang Xuebin of Meiling took the lead in the negotiations with the LCD Alliance, while Ni Runfeng was in charge of Panasonic's plasma.
Changhong has taken a stake in Meiling. Now one has become two. In the near future, the two will be merged into one. The plan is to let Zhang Xuebin take charge. This can not only continue the strategy of running on the LCD road finalized by Ni Runfeng and Fang Zhuo, but also ensure the ice core.
It has certain fundamentals with Morningstar Semiconductor.
In addition, the good cooperative relationship between Tesco and the two companies can also be guaranteed.
But if there is another person, not to mention the relationship with the Yike Department, he is afraid that Changhong will be the first to change his position... He might just see that the patent is also made public, and he will directly dive into the plasma.
Ni Runfeng shuddered when he thought about this possibility. It would really turn into a joke in the business case, jump left and right, and finally choose a cliff to rush forward.
He sighed: "I don't know if it's too late. I didn't think much about it before. Now at this moment, I suddenly feel that the successor of the company is really a top priority."
Ni Runfeng actually had some concerns about Zhang Xuebin. He had only been in Meiling for a short time and had not interacted with Mr. Fang much, so he might not be able to adapt to his general style of doing things.
"Lao Ni, actually you can try to hold on for another two years," Fang Zhuo said.
"Two problems are difficult to overcome." Ni Runfeng shook his head. "The first is the one-sided talk, which has been reported to the leadership by many people. The second is the loss caused by the disclosure of patents. Now it is considered a major strategic mistake."
Publicizing corporate patents for free has resulted in moving closer to liquid crystal technology.
Regardless of whether these patents can substantially help the development of enterprises, they have undoubtedly become the consequences of arbitrary statements.
Coupled with some accumulated antecedents, Ni Runfeng already knew about the "abandoned son".
Sure enough, Mr. Fang didn't persist in persuading him. I'm afraid he knew a lot.
Ni Runfeng said to Mr. Fang sincerely: "Mr. Fang, I will ask for your help in the future."
"I've seen you outside." Fang Zhuo said concisely and to the point.
Ni Runfeng nodded slightly and said nothing more. Mr. Fang was quite trustworthy in some aspects, and he had arrangements for Zhang Xuebin's cooperation with the public.
The two chatted for a while about other aspects, and then waited for a feedback call from Zhang Xuebin on the other side.
The LCD Alliance’s second contact has advanced to substantive cooperation content.
The differences between the two sides are somewhat big, but they are not impossible to discuss.
The other party's attitude was also quite sincere.
Zhang Xuebin described today’s scene like this: “Everyone’s conversation was relatively awkward at first, but they quickly became reluctant to accept the cooperation. Especially Samsung’s Lee Jae-yong. I think he is working hard to promote this.
thing."
He thought for a while and commented: "Sharp and Chimei are more willing to resist and welcome, while LG and Samsung are relatively quick to collapse."
Fang Zhuo said: "Samsung and LG are both catching up from behind in the LCD camp. Samsung has now built a 7th generation line, and LG is under construction. They are most looking forward to eating this piece of meat after killing plasma. As for Lee Jae-yong...
…”
"He and Lee Ki-tae obviously have different opinions. Lee Ki-tae will inevitably report the situation to Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee when he returns to China due to illness. Lee Jae-yong should talk about it first, so as to have some established facts and show his ability."
After being invited to a banquet by Lee Kit Tae, it’s hard to say anything else, but my objections to this cooperation are quite certain.
Zhang Xuebin agreed with Mr. Fang’s judgment.
"Panasonic is also willing to cooperate, but the intensity is not great." Fang Zhuo also briefly talked about the negotiations with Panasonic, "Since LCD is willing to negotiate in good faith, you can also speed up the progress slightly."
Zhang Xuebin responded.
Fang Zhuo added: "Sina and CCTV will have a joint interview tomorrow night. Remember to be prepared."
Originally, the interview from CCTV wanted to interview Changhong, so the action of releasing the patent for free not only caused misjudgment by Panasonic and the LCD Alliance, but also the industry and the media were surprised by this decision.
"Okay, I know, Mr. Fang." Zhang Xuebin replied calmly.
Fang Zhuo ended the call and planned to communicate with the leader of Meiling again in the evening.
"Zhang Xuebin's character is still very stable." Ni Runfeng said after the phone call ended, he said his feelings, "He is more receptive to opinions, very active in communication, and has rich experience."
Fang Zhuo nodded and said with a smile: "Listen to others and eat enough."
