"Mr. Zhang, besides promoting standards, what is the use of this alliance?" Du Jichuan asked in detail.

General standards need to be certified and promoted by the Electronic Equipment Engineering Committee, or some organization such as the International Electronics Union, so that peers can abide by them.

At the same time, each member company has voting rights, and more voting rights determine whether the standard is passed and can be promoted. In many cases, some companies will violate some of their own political positions for the sake of interests.

"Has Kingston ever thought about investing in China to build a factory? Huaxia is currently the world's fastest growing consumer electronics market with the greatest potential. Chaowei, Eagle Weida, SanDisk, etc. have all built factories in China, forming an industrial park. "

"It will become China's Silicon Valley in the future, because a silicon semiconductor company invested by the government has already established a project and will soon settle down."

"Transporting products from China to cover Asia is more suitable than other countries in Asia. There are cheaper labor, more favorable policies, and a safer environment over there."

"And you are also of Chinese descent, so you don't want to go back to the motherland to see it? It is our Chinese tradition to return home with wealth and wealth."

"Cooperate with Moscow Electronics, then Kingston's products can cover the Eastern European market. Cooperate with Lianxiang, and Kingston's products can cover the Chinese market, including some Central Asian regions."

"The higher the sales, the higher the profit, and the two of you can earn more."

"In addition, Chaowei and Lianxiang are both motherboard manufacturers. Cooperating with them is good for promoting new interface standards and improving hardware standards, and I don't worry that the products will not be sold."

"If some businesses of Kingston and Moscow Electronics are merged, then some electronic products of Zhiduoxing Company can also use Kingston's memory in the future."

"I can also promote the cooperation between Kingston and SanDisk to jointly promote the flash drive. This is a solid-state usb interface drive in flash mode, and we also named it u disk."

"The storage method of the USB disk will completely replace the floppy disk, and even replace the CD in the future, and it is not impossible to become the most commonly used portable storage device."

A mainland company controlled by Zhang Yang has jointly developed the USB flash drive technology with SanDisk, and it is currently in the promotion stage.

Now the main reason is high production cost and small capacity, so it is not favored by consumers and other manufacturers, but related technologies have attracted the same attention.

Kingston Corporation,

Naturally, I have noticed this technology for a long time, and I also want to bypass technical barriers to make products.

Zhang Yang put some benefits directly in front of Du Jichuan and Du Jichuan in exchange for their strategic alliance. Of course, these are not free, he can also make a profit.

He dared to speak out directly because it was impossible for Kingston to do these things without him.

"Mr. Zhang, it seems that we didn't know enough about you before. This matter is indeed of great benefit to Kingston, but according to what you said, I hope we can cooperate more with Moscow Electronics, but we Let’s go together.” Du Jichuan continued to serve Zhang Yang a cup of tea.

"Is it necessary to be enemies in the same industry? Mergers are also possible. Or merge part of the business into Kingston in exchange for certain shares. Kingston not only gets some assets, but also a market. This is a win-win situation, isn't it?"

"In fact, you two should be very clear that the markets in many regions are semi-open, just like foreign companies entering the United States, without the help of local companies or financial groups, development will be very difficult."

Any country has local protection, but the strength and scope of protection are not the same.

For example, now, any electronics company that wants to enter the Chinese market must greet Zhiduoxing or Lianxiang. The two parties have at least some cooperative relationship, otherwise they may be boycotted.

If it is a game console manufacturer or a PC manufacturer, it is absolutely impossible to succeed!

"Mr. Zhang, we can't give you an answer now, we need to discuss it. Can we give you an answer the day after tomorrow? Are you not in a hurry to go back to China?"

"No hurry, then I'll wait for your good news."

After Zhang Yang left, Du Jichuan quickly held the company's executive meeting. Although the company is mainly composed of him and Sun Dawei, several other backbones are also very important. Only by brainstorming can we make decisions that are more suitable for the company's development.

During the meeting, everyone listened to Du Jichuan's quick explanation of the situation, and everyone had a look of excitement on their faces.

"Mr. Du, Mr. Sun, I think we should contact Moscow Electronics again to see if the other party is willing to incorporate memory assets into our company."

"If the other party is willing and the conditions are good, then it is worth considering. We have directly obtained two large markets, and can radiate Europe and Asia. The company's revenue in the next two years is expected to exceed 5 billion US dollars."

"Adding a shareholder will not dilute the equity of the two, and will not affect the company's decision-making power. And we can also cooperate with SanDisk to produce the kind of USB flash drives they promote."

"Our own research and development of related technologies will require a lot of money and energy, and the effect may not be guaranteed. If we can directly obtain mature technologies and cooperate with each other to develop them, it will be more cost-effective for the company."

"Doesn't Zhiduoxing Group have a product called mP3? If our storage hardware can be used, the company's revenue can still increase."

"If their game consoles can also use our products, our revenue will be even higher. Zhiduoxing Group is a leading company among game console manufacturers. It ranks first in the world, and its sales volume far exceeds that of other manufacturers. Occupy more than 50% of the market share!"

"And building a factory in China is also good for our production capacity increase. At the same time, it will allow our products to better occupy the Asian market."

"Cooperating with a semiconductor company like Chaowei, the benefits we have gained are also obvious. The only thing I hesitate is what cooperation conditions the other party will offer."

Several other high-ranking officials also echoed it. It is true that the blueprint drawn by Zhang Yang is too wonderful, and the benefits are visible. It's just such a good condition, what does the other party want?

If they have to advance and retreat with Chaowei and others, against Intel or something, then Kingston will never agree. Chaowei's market share is only one-fifth of Intel's, and the gap is too big.

Several executives successively proposed some bottom lines that must be adhered to in cooperation, and Du Jichuan also had a bottom line in his heart. It seems that Zhiduoxing Group and Softbank are taking two paths.

Softbank is crazy about investing in software companies and Internet companies, while Zhiduoxing is crazy about investing in hardware companies. Now that it has invested in so many major hardware manufacturers, it may really want to make a breakthrough in the hardware industry.

"Since everyone agrees, then it's settled. Let's discuss the details tomorrow and discuss the conditions with Mr. Zhang the day after tomorrow!"
