Rewrite the Technological Landscape

After the Spring Festival, the influence of heavy snow gradually dissipated, and Huaxia people slowly returned to normal life.

During this period of time, the impact of the global economic winter is accelerating, and more and more companies are beginning to be unable to sit still. In Taiwan Province at the end of February, LCD companies started to move.

The cold winter of the LCD screen industry was basically confirmed by everyone in February 2008. By the middle of the year, the major LCD screen companies began to reduce production, and by the end of the year, the Taiwan Province directly reduced production by more than 50%.

Facing the crisis before us, Taiwanese entrepreneurs who originally wanted to take advantage of the competition between the Neon and Goryeo countries to profit from the fishermen panic. Some things are done well for the fishermen to profit, but if they are not done well, they are dead , Because they are not fools, they can see what you are doing.

70% of Taiwan’s LCD panels are sold to Neon Country and Goryeo Country, but once the market is overcapacity, Neon Country and Goryeo Country will definitely give priority to their inventory. Who will buy Taiwan Province? LCD panel.

In addition, Taiwan Province’s self-righteous desire to take advantage of both sides is really in trouble, and they have even more reason to ignore you.

Ever since, Taiwan Province is exactly the same as it was once, focusing on the mainland.

Li Kunyao of AU Optronics, Xu Wenlong of Chi Mei Electronics, and Duan Xinjian of Innolux all came to the mainland at the end of February to find TCL, Skyworth and other companies to talk about orders, and then they got a very unified answer, not interested.

After I went back, several Taiwanese entrepreneurs got together to chat. Everyone decided to lower the price when negotiating with mainland enterprises. After all, Taiwanese LCD screens do have an advantage in price, especially On the low-end and mid-end screens, their prices can be affordable if they are reduced by 5 percentage points on the basis of the current market price.

However, the reply they got when they came to the mainland again was still not interested.

"Do these entrepreneurs in China have a problem with their brains? They are like us." Li Kunyao of AU Optronics couldn't help but complain.

Xu Wenlong glanced at Duan Xinjian and decided to seek help from the provincial leader.

After all, it is one of the three pillar industries in Taiwan. The chairman of several core companies complained. The leaders of the province would naturally not ignore it, so they hurriedly flew over to find dad.

In the end, Dad’s attitude was that the company should be allowed to talk about business matters.

The bridge that helped Taiwanese enterprises to tide over the difficulties did not appear in this life.

After confirming the attitude of the mainland, Taiwan Province began to suppress it. In the past, there were three major camps in the LCD screen wars, namely Samsung Sony, Sharp Toshiba and Panasonic Hitachi Canon. There was no name for Taiwan Province.

Taiwan Province has always been a very embarrassing existence in this industry. There is production and a market, but it is not in the first line. It has long been attached to the neon country and the Goryeo country, especially the Goryeo country.

It's not a problem to go on like this, you have to find a way.

At the end of February, several entrepreneurs in Taiwan Province discussed together again. Duan Xinjian brought a message to everyone, "Have you heard of the West Lake Conference?"

"The West Lake Club? What?" The West Lake Club was established very low-key, and not many people knew about it at the moment.

"It is an organization initiated by Dafeng Group, which probably means that mainland companies hold a group for warmth. Among them are BOE, and it seems that there is also TCL. It is not clear whether the other companies are there."

Li Kunyao has an expression that I understand, "Mainland companies are placing orders for Dafeng Group and BOE!"

"It may be more than that simple. Anyway, there must be something here, but what is certain is that the most critical person is Meng Qian of Dafeng Group."

"Meng Qian, the guy who disrupted the development of semiconductors in Taiwan Province... Do you think he has some political ideas about our Taiwanese enterprises?" Xu Wenlong is a traitor named by Renren Daily. His first reaction was to go political.

Duan Xinjian didn't think so. "It doesn't feel like it. Dafeng Group seems to be looking for technology and talents, and has not made any special remarks."

"Anyway, let's get in touch."

"alright."

On February 27th, the three chairman of the board came to Dafeng Group together.

Meng Qian’s attitude is very good, which made the three of them relax, and boldly put forward their own ideas during the meal, “Dafeng Group’s computer sales are getting better and better, is there any interest in purchasing ours? product?"

Meng Qian responded naturally, "If the three of you came to me last year, I think I would be very interested, but now everyone knows the situation of the entire industry, our own inventory may not be able to digest, so, wait. Have chance."

"Mr. Meng, we came with sincerity this time. Mr. Meng must be clear about the quality of our LCD screens in Taiwan. In order to show our sincerity, we can drop 5 points on the current price of Dafeng Group. It must be a favorable deal for Dafeng Group."

Meng Qian took a mouthful of food without hesitation, "Several products are really good, but Taiwan’s LCD screens have always had little brand power in the world. Dafeng Group now puts the development of brand power in the first place, so ...It’s not a matter of price."

The trio was embarrassed by the pain point. Xu Wenlong of Chi Mei Electronics said in an uncomfortable irony, “If Mr. Meng is considering brand power, he should consider cooperating with us. After all, mainland companies and Taiwanese companies The brand power gap between them is still very large."

Meng Qian squinted his eyes and smiled. Facing Xu Wenlong, Meng Qian was not polite, "Mr. Xu said this to remind me that Chi Mei Electronics has not been able to break out of its own world after so many years of hard work, or else, Dafeng Group is considering acquiring Chi Mei Electronics."

Xu Wenlong is choked but has nothing to say. Compared with brand power, how can Chi Mei Electronics compare with Dafeng Group...

After the "happy dinner" was over, the three of them informed the other entrepreneurs of Meng Qian's attitude after returning, and the Taiwan Province side had to make a decision.

The Neon Country, Korea Country, and the mainland are not concerned about the life and death of Taiwan, so now they have only two paths before them, either by reducing production or lowering prices.

Of course, both things must be done, and the key is to pay more attention to which way.

Meng Qian is also waiting for the results here, because the different attitudes of Taiwan Province have an impact on Meng Qian's subsequent behavior.

Soon, in early March, Taiwan Province released news that Taiwanese enterprises broke the new low price of LCD screens and planned to use the price-performance ratio to grab the market.

This result is in line with most people’s guesses. For companies that are not already the leader, it’s easy to reduce production, but it’s harder to go back up. Taiwanese companies are definitely not reconciled to the beginning of the cold winter of LCD screens. Surrender when the time comes, and always have to win.

The 17-inch screen was hit by Taiwan Province to the price of 920, the 22-inch price was hit by the Taiwan Province to the price of 1830, and the 32-inch screen was hit to the price of 2880. The Taiwan Province's approach made the already difficult LCD screen industry worse.

Many small companies are almost unable to support it, and at the same time, some large companies have also been affected.

For example, Sharp is now considered to be a leader in the industry.

Sharp first went to Sony to ask for money in February 2008~www.ltnovel.com~ In this world, Katayama Kanao generously invested a sum of money in Taiwan, and he became even poorer, but Sony has been squeezed by Meng Qian. I did it, I couldn’t get the money. Not long ago, Sharp went to Hitachi to make an investment of 3 billion soft sister coins, but after such a small amount of money was burned out in a while, I suddenly heard the news of Taiwan’s desperate price cuts. Katayama Mikio, who was still briskly in the past, has all white hair recently.

At this time, Katayama Katayama naturally thought of the Dafeng Group, "This guy who has said that he will invest money for us within half a year must let Meng Qian pay for it, otherwise Sharp's capital chain will really be broken."

So Katayama Mikio quickly called Meng Qian, "Mr. Meng."

"Mr. Katayama, it's a coincidence. I'm planning to call you."

"Huh? What is Mr. Meng looking for?"

"I want to ask Mr. Katayama if Sharp has any money, and I want to borrow money."

Katayama Mikio, "???"
