"Chairman, President Dong of Huanghe Technology Group is here to report on work and has made an appointment. Are you free to meet me?" the female secretary's voice came from the desktop intercom.
"Let her come over, oh... By the way, let your directors Zhao Feng and Liu Shoutian come over and listen."
"I understand, Chairman, I will notify Director Zhao and the other deputy directors now."
After a while, the door outside opened.
The sharp whistling sound of the sandstorm became louder, and several gray-faced people walked in with documents under their arms. Strong winds swept in, causing the dust to billow in the room.
"Close the door quickly, my God, this sandstorm is too big."
Wang Yaocheng looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Okay, there is a bathroom nearby. You guys wash your faces. They all look like Tu Xingsun, even their hair is yellow."
"President Dong, please invite me first. We gay men will go to the bathroom to wash up later." Zhao Feng was quite gentlemanly even though he was gray-faced.
Dong Mingzhu took off the scarf on his head and was not polite to them. He looked at Wang Yaocheng and said, "Then I'll go and clean up first. You guys wait a moment."
"Well, it's okay."
Watching her leave, Wang Yaocheng turned around and asked: "What did the weather forecast say? How long will this huge sandstorm last?"
"According to the forecast, affected by the passage of strong low pressure and high pressure in the north, the strong cyclone brought a large amount of sand and dust in the Xilingol League and Kubuqi Desert and hit the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The maximum wind force will reach level 10 today and tomorrow, and will gradually weaken the day after tomorrow.
, the storm center continues to move east-southeast, crossing the Bohai Bay and may affect Fusang Island."
"Hoo ho ho, having fun alone is better than having fun together. Let me have a taste of the power of sandstorms and have a bite of loess noodles." Wang Yaocheng was happy, and snickered.
"Well……"
Zhao Feng looked at Chairman Wang Yaocheng who was gloating about his misfortune, touched his nose and said nothing.
He didn't notice it himself, but there were two light-colored finger prints on his nose, which looked particularly weird on his gray face.
"Hahahaha...cough cough...cough cough cough..."
Just as Wang Yaocheng started laughing a few times, he was choked by the sand and dust that poured into his mouth and coughed. Liu Shoutian next to him quickly poured a glass of water, only to find a layer of dust floating on the clean cup.
How to drink this water?
…
a moment later
"Let's go to the basement to talk."
The few people who came in all tidied up quickly. Wang Yaocheng took some information on the table, shook the dust off, walked into the next room, and touched the wall with his hand.
The high-tech fingerprint recognition is passed, and then the password is entered on the open panel, and a faint green light of iris verification appears.
Wang Yaocheng leaned forward and scanned the iris of his eyes with a faint green light. The system made a pleasant "ding" sound, indicating that the verification was passed, and the heavy door of the constant-temperature basement opened silently.
get into it
In this confined space, there is no longer any trouble of sand and dust. Warm and soft light shines down, making the vast basement quiet.
"Shoutian will serve everyone and get some fruits and champagne. Miss Dong, what do you want to drink?"
"I'll just drink juice. Champagne will make you dizzy."
"Okay, just have another glass of juice."
After Wang Yaocheng's instructions, Liu Shoutian got busy. The constant-temperature wine cellar in the basement was full of everything. Fruits were brought down from above. All he had to do was cut them and put them on plates.
The place where they are sitting now is the outer room of the underground collection room. It is an independent space for treasure appreciation. It has a large and soft sofa, a coffee table and other facilities, as well as high-fidelity speakers imported from Germany. There is even a grand piano in the corner.
.
In such a closed environment, it was not convenient for Wang Yaocheng and Ms. Dong Mingzhu to listen to the report alone, so he asked two more people to come down and accompany him together.
After everyone is seated
Ms. Dong Mingzhu began to report on the work, mainly focusing on two points:
First, Huanghe Technology Group’s current operating situation and next-step strategy.
2003
Huanghe Technology Group is building the world's first 6.5-generation LCD production line. It will use a new generation of evaporation machine products from Japan's Tokki Co., Ltd., which can cut large-size LCD screens. It will be put into production by the end of the year.
Compared with previous generation products, the new generation production line has more advanced technology, lower costs and greater competitive advantages, representing the future development direction of LCD panels.
In the research institute, the new 7th generation line design plan is being advanced in an orderly manner according to time points.
The eighth-generation line project has been approved. Currently, scientific and technological personnel are closely following the international cutting-edge technology and are conducting forward-looking research.
It is expected that the 7th generation line will be officially launched in 2005, leaving its competitors far behind.
also
Panda Electronics' mobile phone products have already launched several new candy bar products, which have received quite good responses in the domestic market. The next step is to expand into the international market.
At present, the group's revenue is booming and it is in a very good state of healthy development.
The second is the key point to be discussed below.
Since June last year, domestically organized "panel purchasing groups" have gone to Taiwan to show goodwill and purchased LCD panels valued at US$4.3 billion.
Taiwanese panel manufacturers joined forces with Japanese and Korean companies to drive up panel prices. The price of LCD panels in the international market soared by 48%, dealing a heavy blow to the prosperous domestic home appliance companies.
The carnival of panel companies was based on the pain of home appliance companies. Almost the entire industry suffered losses. The momentum of vigorous development was poured with cold water and came to an abrupt end.
A new version of the story "The Farmer and the Snake" is released again.
It’s a painful lesson and the parties concerned have racked their brains and can’t think of a solution.
This is not...
The Domestic Home Appliances Enterprise Guild took the lead in finding the Yellow River Technology Group in response to this situation. It is hoped that the Yellow River Technology Group, as a leading LCD panel company, can turn the tide at this time and make the due contribution of a responsible enterprise.
In a word, I hope to help domestic home appliance manufacturers tide over the difficulties.
As the person in charge of the enterprise, Dong Mingzhu knows that there are huge implications behind this. The home appliance enterprise guild is just a representative introduced, and the will itself is not mandatory.
The key is that the signals sent by relevant parties behind the scenes can be said to represent an attitude and hope and cannot be easily ignored.
This was a big problem. President Dong Mingzhu, who acted decisively and responsibly, did not dare to make a decision easily, so the difficult problem was handed over.
listened to the report
Wang Yaocheng was neither angry nor unwilling. He tapped the sofa with his slender fingers and fell into serious thinking.
a moment later
Wang Yaocheng asked: "Does your Yellow River Technology Group have relevant strategies and how are you going to deal with them?"
Dong Mingzhu replied: "Chairman, it is not feasible from a purely corporate perspective.
After the turmoil in the market, the battle between LCD and plasma technology routes for future TV industry panels can basically tell the general direction.
Plasma technology will gradually be phased out, and liquid crystal display panels will emerge as the mainstream. The demand for this in the international market is extremely strong, and panel companies' products are in short supply.
in this case
Violating market rules and suppressing prices is purely a thankless act and the effect will not be good.
Therefore, we have prepared relevant materials and argued our case accordingly.
The international market must be dominated by market rules, and artificial interference and suppression will hardly play a decisive role and may even bring down enterprises."
"Uh-huh, let's just answer this for now."
Wang Yaocheng thought for a while and continued: "The price butcher's knife cannot be cut at any time. It must be coordinated by the market environment and there must be an opportunity to launch. Huanghe Technology Group is in the stage of hard training, strengthening its muscles and bones, and competing with the market.
The gap has not widened. I heard that LG in Korea is also preparing to invest in a 6.5-generation line. How are the preparations going?"
"That's right, Chairman."
Dong Mingzhu took a sip of juice, put down the cup and said: "LG Group is the world's second largest LCD panel provider, and a fifth-generation line they invested in has reached full production, which is about a year behind us.
at present
LG Group's 6.5-generation line is under planning. Due to a large amount of debt, there is insufficient investment in scientific research funds.
As a result, the production line design is not being advanced very quickly, and the results will not be seen until at least 2003, and it may be put into construction in 2004.
The specific time remains to be further observed and more information collected for judgment."
"Um……"
After thinking about it for a moment, Wang Yaocheng continued:
"Since the relevant parties are pretending to be deaf and dumb, and cannot save their dignity, pushing the Home Appliances Industry Association to come out to negotiate with us, we don't need to take it seriously, and we can't appear too active, and pretend to be deaf and dumb for him in the same way.
Huanghe Technology Group only accounts for 30% of the LCD panel market, which is far from being able to influence the overall international market.
A child dancing with a sledgehammer is beyond his ability.
Carrying the burden of the rise and fall of the industry on one's own shoulders prematurely is tantamount to going against the laws of the market. The praying mantis is blocking the car, which is what a wise man will not do.
Don't just boast and let your fortune drift away. No matter how big your family fortune is, it will be ruined. We can't waste it, we have to stabilize it.
We know how many bowls of dry rice we can eat, and we don’t have to worry about those people using their big hats to suppress us.
Drink water and remember its source. Today's situation is thanks to them. The duck that Huanghe Technology Group got has flown away. We can't put our own lives on the line anymore!
That's it.
Our little arms and legs cannot bear such a big responsibility.
Just reply politely to the Home Appliances Association. You don’t need me to teach you how to explain it specifically?
If we look forward to the bright future more and use the free time to conduct more technology research and development, instead of swarming at the low end and fighting among ourselves, home appliance companies will eventually see the light of day.
The present is dark, but the future is extremely bright."
Dong Mingzhu couldn't help but smile after hearing this:
"I understand, Chairman, I will definitely do what you say and give them a hard and soft blow. Last year, I was bruised and swollen in Yanjing City, but I can finally vent my anger."
"By the way, the second 6.5-generation line planning in the second half of the year does not need to be placed in China. It is arranged to be constructed in the Hynix Industrial Park in Malaysia. All eggs cannot be put in one basket. There must be a plan for the next step, which can be regarded as an announcement.
A clear signal."
Dong Mingzhu and others understood Wang Yaocheng's words instantly.
Investments worth billions of dollars have suddenly been diverted abroad. How does the local government view this clear signal?
Needless to say, it will be communicated to the upper management immediately. If there are any follow-up actions, the shock will be huge.
If you don’t cherish what is easy to get, why should you invest in China?
After experiencing this incident, Wang Yaocheng re-examined his investment strategy and discovered its bias.
Over the years, hundreds of billions of dollars of investment have been concentrated in China, which is definitely not a good thing.
Some non-mainstream voices believe that the Royal Family Fund has taken off with the help of domestic power, and that it takes more but pays less.
There are also some voices who believe that the Royal Family Fund should keep all its investments domestically, and investing abroad would be treasonous.
Including the investment in 12-inch wafer fabs in the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan, there has been a lot of criticism, and everything is said.
Although these voices were not mainstream, they also attracted Wang Yaocheng's attention. Coupled with the forced abortion incident, it really gave him a wake-up call.
It's time to send another strong signal.
Um……
The land for building a 12-inch wafer fab in Shenzhen City has not yet been secured, so this project was canceled and transferred to the Hynix Industrial Park in Malaysia as a plan to rationally allocate production capacity and be implemented.
