In the 1990s, when liquid crystal display technology was developing rapidly, Fuso Country had at least one leading company in every aspect of LCD manufacturing.
1. Fuso Guasahi Glass and Denki Glass provide glass substrates for LCD flat panels.
Second, Nikon and Canon provide scanning and stepper exposure machines.
三、nec,Annehua manufactures dry etching equipment.
4. Nippon Electric Industries manufactures color filters and polarizers.
5. Dainippon Printing and Nippon Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. provide advanced flatbed printing equipment.
6. Nippon Vacuum Technology Co., Ltd. provides ito conductive film.
7. Canon provides mirror projection system...
By 1994, in the global LCD market, Sharp ranked first with a turnover of 118 billion yen, followed by Nec, Toshiba, and Fujitsu in second, third, and fourth place respectively. This was also the pinnacle of Fuso's LCD industry.
In the following years, the global LCD market doubled in size, providing more late-comer companies with huge profits and broad market space.
It was during this period that major Korean-owned factories developed rapidly and spread rapidly to the world market.
Nowadays, the entire LCD production supply chain from products, processes, production equipment and other links is located in Fuso Country.
This not only puts Fuso State far ahead in LCD research and development and production, but also creates a barrier for first movers. It is not easy for other countries, including the United States, to catch up with Fuso State in LCD technology.
In the future product matrix planned by Wang Yaocheng, mobile phones are an indispensable and important pillar industry. How can it be done without LCD screens?
What is Samsung Road?
That is to eat everything from the fish head to the fish body to the fish tail, forming a whole industry chain ecology, mastering the core technology, including LCD screens, substrates, memory and other important components, all of which must be produced by ourselves.
It is impossible to wait until the smartphone era arrives and have all the industry chains in place in a short period of time. That is neither possible nor realistic.
We can only start planning now, accumulate wireless communication technology, enter the field of mobile phone production early to practice, accept the baptism of the market, and earn the first pot of gold.
How important is the LCD screen?
Almost all smart and digital home equipment are indispensable. From Walkmans to MP3 players, from industrial control equipment to office equipment, from cars to mobile phones, from home appliances to kitchen and bathroom equipment, what kind of equipment is missing an LCD screen?
The layout of the memory chips is in place, the layout of the core processors and CPUs is in place, and efforts are being made to accumulate wireless communication technology. Now only the LCD panel is left. Of course, the layout must be done early.
But why should we only focus on the sheep like Fujitsu Co., Ltd. and other companies?
It really doesn't work.
The emergence of oppo brand computers hit Fujitsu Co., Ltd. the hardest. Coupled with Dell Electronics Computer Co., a bad teammate, Fujitsu Co., Ltd. was almost in dire straits under the double blow.
Although the industrial layout of the large Japanese trading companies is comprehensive and includes all kinds of home appliances, they each have their own focus to avoid excessive and vicious competition with each other and have formed a tacit understanding with each other.
Camera field ~ Canon, Nikon.
Special and civilian camera and broadcast equipment ~Sony.
Among all the fields of home appliance products, Fujitsu only ranks first in computer products, where it invests the most and heaviest, and it is also the most important pillar industry for corporate development.
Coupled with being implicated by the American company Dell, Fujitsu suffered the greatest 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 outsourced from large Japanese manufacturers. The remaining technology king Yaocheng completely looks down on it and does not conform to the industrial layout.
Sony, the third largest company in Fuso Country, has deep pockets and is preparing to resume production. It will launch new computer products soon. It will not cut off one of its thighs and give it away. It is better to give up such excessive thoughts.
It seems that Fujitsu Co., Ltd. is still easy to bully. He looks delicate and weak and can easily be pushed down. If not, who can he bully?
Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.
Los Angeles Orange County International Airport
The engine of the Boeing 737 private jet roared. With a bright face, Wang Yaocheng led his entourage to Houston, Texas, to watch Game 4 of the NBA Finals live. This may be a key game that determines the championship.
In such an important game, the boss must not miss it.
"Chairman, please wait a moment."
Wang Yaocheng looked back in surprise and saw Zhang Shuguang trotting over with a heavy face. It seemed that he had something important to report.
"Chairman, can I report to you alone?"
"good."
The other attendants consciously left far away, leaving space for the two of them. Seeing Zhang Shuguang's unusually heavy expression, Wang Yaocheng's heart sank;
Something really big happened.
"Chairman, Mr. Chambers of Atlantic Business Machines just sent an urgent email. The internal labor unions of the three IBM production plants we acquired have reached a consensus in series and put forward nine extraordinary demands, including significantly increasing workers' hourly wages, strengthening
Unreasonable requirements such as welfare benefits, reduced workload, and even the need to arrange regular vacations, reimbursement of all expenses, etc.
At present, CEO Mr. Chambers has rushed to Armonk, New York for mediation negotiations. The information collected so far is quite unfavorable. The three factories only have one week left for negotiation, otherwise they will go on strike."
The union is starting to make trouble.
Think for a moment
Wang Yaocheng said in a calm tone: "If the sky doesn't fall, let's go to Houston."
The Boeing 737 aircraft flew straight into the sky in the clear sky, with its tail pulling out a clear track, surrounded by white clouds and the sun shining brightly.
Sitting in the exclusive business class cabin
Wang Yaocheng's face looked very ugly. His mood was not as calm as it seemed, but rather turbulent.
Damn it! The union is so ruthless. If you hit the weak point this time, the loss will be worth billions of dollars.
At first, when he merged with the three IBM factories, Wang Yaocheng was worried about the union being a monster and had great concerns about this. In the end, Chambers convinced him and implemented the merger and acquisition strategy.
Unexpectedly, after just over three months of normal labor, the thing I was most worried about happened.
In fact, after the OPPO brand computer was launched on Thanksgiving Day, the sales volume far exceeded Wang Yaocheng and Chambers' expectations. The influx of orders meant a huge amount of money.
There is not enough production capacity at this time, which is really painful.
The sales situation, which had never been experienced before in this life, really caught Wang Yaocheng off guard. He is responsible for this.
There are few solutions, and consumers cannot wait three or four months for a computer of their choice.
After consumers' patience wears off, they will choose to buy a computer that looks like an antique and use it first. After all, the performance is about the same.
In order to meet the sales strategy of accurately attacking Japanese and Korean manufacturers, large-volume supply is an urgent demand, otherwise the effect will be much worse.
Once the opportunity is lost, it will never come again.
It was impossible for an emerging computer manufacturer to meet the strong demand in the world market, leaving Atlantic Business Machines with few options. The merger and acquisition suggested by Chambers seemed to be the only way out and the best solution to rapidly expand production capacity.
In the process of reshuffling the market structure caused by Oppo brand computers, it is not kind-hearted to be open to American and European manufacturers, and it is indeed beyond our capabilities.
"Hey... this is not negotiation, this is simply blackmail."
Wang Yaocheng lay on the chair with a splitting headache and sighed deeply.
The union demands a 60% salary increase, shortening the work day to six hours, providing eight days of rest per month except public holidays, providing 16 days of paid leave per year, and reimbursing vacation expenses...
If we agree to these harsh conditions, the annual working hours will be reduced by one-third, the salary will be increased by 60%, and other unreasonable expenses will be doubled, swallowing up almost all the profits of these three factories. This is too much.
One sentence expresses Wang Yaocheng's sadness. In the three assembly plants located in Armonk, New York, the average annual salary of workers reaches US$37,200, which is 166.4% of the annual salary of ordinary Americans. It is considered a well-paid job.
After all, this is just the normal salary without overtime. If you are willing to work overtime, you can easily exceed the annual salary of 50,000 US dollars.
What makes people angry is that the labor unions are trying their best to prevent workers from working overtime, and the workers themselves are unwilling to work overtime. When market sales are so tight, these three assembly plants still maintain a leisurely half-day production state.
On the other hand, Huaizhou Phase I and Phase II production base, with the continuous recruitment of workers to join the production army, has implemented 24 hours a day, four shifts and three operations of high-load production.
The workers strongly requested to work overtime but were not given the opportunity. This was to train more workers and accumulate experience for the third phase of the project with the largest production capacity, so that it can quickly explode into high production capacity after it is put into production at the end of the year.
There are still more than five months to go before production starts. At this time, the three IBM factories are threatening to go on strike. This is really a blow to the weak point and it is simply unbearable.
