Chapter 256
During the period when LCD display technology was developing rapidly in the 1990s, Fusang Guo had at least one leading enterprise in every link of LCD manufacturing.
1. Fusang Guoxue Glass and electrical Glass provide glass substrates for LCD panels.
2. Nikon and Canon offer scanning and stepping exposure machines.
3. Nec. Annehua manufactures dry etching equipment.
4. Japanese Electrician manufactures color filters and polarizers.
Five, Japan Printing and Japan Letter Printing Co., Ltd. provide advanced lithographic printing equipment.
6. Japan Vacuum Technology Co., Ltd. provides ito conductive film.
7. Canon provides a mirror projection system...
By 1994, Sharp ranked first in the global LCD display market with a turnover of 118 billion yen, and nec, Toshiba and Fujitsu ranked second, third and fourth respectively, which is also the peak of the LCD industry in Fuso.
In the following years, the global LCD display market size doubled, providing more latecomer companies with generous profits and broad market space.
It was during this period that Korean-funded factories developed rapidly and spread rapidly to the world market.
Nowadays, the entire LCD production supply chain from multiple links, including products, processes, production equipment, etc., is located in Fusang Country.
This not only made Fusang a far-reaching lead in LCD research and development and production, but also formed a barrier to pioneers. It is not so easy for other countries, including the United States, to catch up with Fusang in LCD technology.
In the future product matrix planned by Wang Yaocheng, mobile phones are an indispensable and important pillar industry. Where can we do without an LCD screen?
What is Samsung Road?
It is to eat everything from the head to the body to the tail to the fish, to form a full industrial chain ecosystem, master core technology, including LCD displays, substrates, memory and other important components, which must be produced by themselves.
It is impossible to wait until the era of smartphones arrives, and all industrial chains are fully equipped in a short period of time, which is neither possible nor realistic.
Only by starting from now on, accumulating wireless communication technology, entering the mobile phone production field early to practice, accepting the baptism of the market, and making the first pot of gold.
How important is an LCD screen?
Almost intelligent and digital home equipment is indispensable. From the Walkman to the MP3, from industrial control equipment to office equipment, from cars to mobile phones, from home appliances to kitchen and bathroom equipment, which one is less LCD display?
With the memory chip layout and the core processor CPU layout, the accumulation of wireless communication technology is being continuously worked, and now only the LCD panel is left, so of course we need to make the layout early.
But why is it that only Fujitsu Co., Ltd. is so busy making a frying fry? Can't other companies do it?
It really doesn't work.
The emergence of oppo-branded computers has hit Fujitsu Co., Ltd. the worst attack. In addition, Dell Electronic Computer Company, a teammate, Fujitsu Co., Ltd. was almost in a desperate situation under the double blow.
Although the Japanese-funded trading company has a comprehensive industrial layout and all kinds of home appliances, each has its own focus to avoid excessive vicious competition between each other and form a tacit understanding between each other.
Camera field ~ Canon, Nikon.
Special and civilian camera and broadcast equipment ~ Sony.
Washing machine ~ Panasonic, Sanyo.
Refrigerator ~ Panasonic, cherry blossoms.
Air conditioning ~ Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin.
Computer ~ Fujitsu, nec, Sony.
Plasma panel ~ Pioneer, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Panasonic.
LCD panel ~ Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu.
In all household appliance products fields, Fujitsu has the only one who is the leader in computer products, investing the most and the most important pillar industry for corporate development.
In addition to being implicated by Dell, Fujitsu suffered the most losses and faced the most critical situation.
As for the second-ranked Nec company, although it produces LCD TVs, it does not have LCD panel technology. All LCD panels are purchased from major Japanese companies. The remaining technology Wang Yaocheng is completely indifferent to it and does not conform to the industrial layout.
Sony, which ranks third in Fusang, is rich and ready to resume production. It will soon launch new computer products. It is better not to cut off one of its thighs and give it to others. It is better to give up this excessive idea.
After all, it seems that Fujitsu Co., Ltd. is still easy to bully, and looks weak and easy to push down. Who else can he bully?
You have to pick up the soft persimmons.
Los Angeles Orange County International Airport
Boeing 737's private aircraft engine roared, and Wang Yaocheng led his attendant to Houston, Texas with a bright face to watch the fourth NBA Finals game on site, which may be the key battle to determine the title.
Such an important game, the boss must not miss it.
"Chairman, please wait."
Wang Yaocheng looked back in surprise and saw Zhang Shuguang jogging over with a heavy expression. It seemed that there was something important to report.
"Captain, can you report to you alone?"
"good."
The other members consciously left far away, leaving the space for the two of them. Looking at Zhang Shuguang's unusual heavy expression, Wang Yaocheng's heart sank;
Something really happened.
"Chairman, Mr. Chambers, the Atlantic Commercial Machinery Company, just sent an emergency email. The three ibm production factories we acquired, and the internal union has heard of the connection and reached a consensus, putting forward nine extraordinary requirements, including a significant increase in workers' hourly wages, enhanced welfare benefits, reduced workload, and even unreasonable requirements such as having to arrange vacations regularly, reimburse all expenses, etc.
At present, Mr. Cecomberg has flew to Amonk, New York to mediate good office negotiations. The information collected so far is quite unfavorable. The three factories only have one week of negotiation time, otherwise a strike will be held."
The union has started to make trouble.
A little contempt
Wang Yaocheng said in a faint tone: "The sky cannot fall, go to Houston."
The Boeing 737 plane penetrated straight into the sky in the clear sky, and a clear set of voyages were drawn from the tail. The surrounding white clouds were filled with sunshine.
Sitting in exclusive business class
Wang Yaocheng's face was very bad. His mood was not as calm as it appeared, but was surging.
Grass! The union is so cruel. This time it hits the weak point and the loss will be calculated in one billion US dollars.
At first, Wang Yaocheng was worried that the union would be a monster when acquiring the three factories of ibm, and he was quite concerned about this. As a result, Chambers convinced himself and implemented the merger and acquisition strategy.
Unexpectedly, I had only had a normal childbirth for more than three months, and the thing I was most worried about was still happening.
In fact, after the OPO brand computer was launched on Thanksgiving, the sales were far beyond Wang Yaocheng and Chambers' expectations. The surging orders meant rolling money.
There is not enough production capacity at this time, which is really painful.
The prosperous sales situation that he had never encountered in his past and present lives really caught Wang Yaocheng off guard, and he was responsible for this.
There are very few solutions, and consumers cannot wait for three or four months for a computer they like.
After consumers have finished their patience, they will choose to buy a computer that looks like an old antique and uses it first, after all, the performance is almost the same.
In order to meet the sales strategy of accurately attacking Japanese and Korean manufacturers, large-scale supply is an urgent need, otherwise the effect will be much worse.
Once the opportunity is lost, it will not come again.
However, an emerging computer manufacturer cannot meet the strong demand of the world market, and there are not many choices left for Atlantic commercial machinery companies. The merger and acquisition proposed by Chambers seems to be the only way out and the best solution to rapidly expand production capacity.
In the process of reshuffle of the market structure initiated by oppo brand computers, it is not a kind person to open a network of American and European manufacturers, but it is indeed not a good person.
"Hey... this is not a negotiation, this is simply blackmail."
Wang Yaocheng lay on the chair with a split headache and sighed deeply.
The union requires a 60% salary increase, shortening work every day to six hours. In addition to public holidays, eight days of rest every month, 16 days of paid leave per year, and reimbursement of leave expenses...
If these harsh conditions are agreed, working hours will be reduced by one third each year, salary will be increased by 60%, and other unreasonable expenses will double, almost swallowing up all the profits of these three factories. It is too much.
One sentence expresses Wang Yaocheng's sadness. In three assembly factories in Armonk, New York, the average annual salary of workers is 37,200 US dollars, which is 166.4% of the annual salary of ordinary Americans. It is considered a job with good treatment.
After all, this is just a normal salary without overtime. If you are willing to work overtime, you can easily exceed US$50,000 annual salary.
What is angering is that the union tried hard to prevent workers from working overtime, and the workers themselves were unwilling to work overtime. With such a tight market sales, these three assembly factories still maintained a leisurely state of production for half a day.
In contrast, as the Huaizhou Phase I and Phase II production base continues to recruit workers to join the production army, it has been implemented for 24 hours, with four shifts and three operations at a high load production state.
Workers strongly demand overtime but have no chance. This is to train more workers and accumulate experience for the third phase of the project with the largest production capacity, so as to quickly explode after it is put into production at the end of the year.
There are more than five months left before production is put into operation. At this time, the three ibm factories threatened to strike, which is really a weakness and is simply unable to bear it.
