Technological Hegemony

Hong Tao came back in a hurry.

This authentic Beijing man, speaking fluent Beijing movies, was delighted, and reported to Luo Jia the recent battle situation of the Ministry of Commerce.

When the team was in Thailand, Hong Tao and Di Wuchang stayed busy in Shanghai, which moved Luo Jia very much.

"What's the hard work?" Hong Tao said disapprovingly, "The most enviable thing in my life is those financial bosses in the movies. With a light lift of a finger, hundreds of millions of dollars will go out."

"I'm not bad now. I slapped the checks of tens of millions and hundreds of millions on the desks of those grandchildren, and almost made their eyes pop out. It's so cool! If you let me go back to write code now, grandsons will be able to do it." Woolen cloth."

"I just love this job, waving a check every day, either buying this or merging that, I wake up laughing every night even dreaming!"

Li Moran frowned, "That's the company's money."

"I know." Hong Tao shrank his neck, "But it's really fun to do things like acquisitions and mergers. I had a dream of doing finance, but I accidentally became a programming dog. Don't worry, I Never wasted a penny of the company's money."

Luo Jia nodded. Finance is also a kind of hegemony. Why do transactions between countries in the world use US dollars? Why is the global economy in turmoil when the Fed shrinks its balance sheet?

It is precisely because finance, a powerful nuclear weapon, is currently in the hands of the Americans.

In 1997, the Asian financial turmoil was led by Soros' Quantum Fund, including Bridgewater Fund, Blackstone Fund, Castle Fund, Yuansheng Investment, Deshao Fund and so on.

These Wall Street hedge fund giants, in just one week, gathered trillions of dollars and swept across Southeast Asia, all the way to South Korea and the Hong Kong government. In the end, a certain country in East Asia used huge foreign exchange reserves to directly engage in a bloody battle. It fell off the horse.

Few people know that Samsung is not a purely Korean company anymore.

After the financial turmoil in 1997, the Korean economy was dying. Korean companies led by Samsung sold a large part of their shares to Wall Street, and they survived.

In July, when the four domestic giants faced off against Apple and Samsung, it was the Wall Street financial giants who stood up again.

They launched a mad attack on A-shares and Hong Kong stocks in the financial market. Of course, my country's financial giants also went to Nasdaq and directly shorted Apple's stock price.

And after a certain country in East Asia made a move, Wall Street giants strongly defended the market, desperately catching the stocks of Samsung and Apple. Behind all this is the financial war.

The mobile phone war launched by the Big Four is a frontal battlefield, and the fight in the financial market is even more tragic than the mobile phone market.

It's a pity that with Luo Jia's current strength, he still can't afford to play such an expensive game, otherwise, he also wants to try to challenge the financial hegemony of the big powers, what's it like.

"Let's go, let's go to the conference room." Luo Jia stood up, ended his wild thoughts, and said to the company's seniors.

 …

In the newly renovated meeting room, there are more than 30 people sitting, which are the high-level and middle-level members of the company.

They waited quietly for Luo Jia to speak.

The founder of Xingchen Technology is still very young, having just passed his nineteenth birthday.

When other nineteen-year-olds celebrate their birthdays, they always invite their friends to celebrate, drink some wine, and sing.

On Luo Jia's birthday, he signed a strategic cooperation agreement with semiconductor giant SMIC.

"Do you know Paris Syndrome?" Luo Jia suddenly said without reason.

His words stunned everyone.

But everyone also thinks it is normal, because Luo Jia's thinking has always been very jumpy, and he often said something unexpected.

Luo Jia paused, "Paris Syndrome was invented by Neon people. In the 1980s, Neon people became rich and traveled to Paris one after another.

"

"In their imagination, Paris is romantic and beautiful, but this is not the case. In the Paris subway, you can defecate freely, and there is a smell of urine. There are many liars and thieves on the street. They will be robbed."

"As a result, the neon people who came back from Paris felt sick, suffered from insomnia, and developed a serious sense of shame."

"To put it bluntly, there is a huge gap between reality and fantasy."

Colleagues laughed one after another. Although they didn't know why Luo Jia said this, at least it sounded quite interesting.

Luo Jia then said, "Let me tell you one more thing, in Africa, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Niger, Chad, Central Africa, Cameroon , Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea."

"A total of 14 African countries, the currency they use is called the franc."

"Who issues the CFA franc?"

"The Bank of France."

"Fourteen countries, in which bank are their foreign exchange reserves stored?"

"The Bank of France."

The management of the company was dumbfounded, and Hong Tao muttered, "What else? Why should the French issue the currencies of African countries? Isn't this the colonialism we learned in school?"

Luo Jia smiled, "Yes, a large part of the high profile of the French people is achieved by their plundering a lot of economic benefits in Africa."

"And the reason why I tell you this is because what the company is going to do next is very dangerous. Entrepreneurship is like climbing a mountain. The higher you climb, the greater the wind and snow."

"As the company continues to grow, next, we will start to pick up other people's underwear, and if we pick up other people's underwear, others will become angry and angry, and they will retaliate against us."

"It can be regarded as a vaccination in advance for everyone. You have to be aware of it. If for no reason, a beautiful woman throws herself into your arms, or a relative who you don't see often suddenly starts to ask about your health, you have to use your brains to think about it. Why are they doing this and what is their purpose behind it."

"Mr. Luo, don't worry! Even if a woman throws himself into his arms, we will never give in!" said a straight steel man wearing glasses, with a serious look on his face.

Luo Jia joked, "Actually, I think that if there are really beautiful women who fall into their arms, they will fall asleep when they sleep. These days, who doesn't play for nothing, but everyone must remember, just don't let your heart go. gone."

Luo Jia's ridicule caused the audience to burst into laughter, but suddenly, Luo Jia's expression became serious, and everyone stopped laughing immediately.

"Please look at the big screen." Luo Jia's voice began to speed up, and she said in an almost decisive tone: "Maybe some colleagues have already guessed in advance, yes, next, we will go all out to enter the display industry!"

"Laymen always think that a liquid crystal display is just a piece of glass that emits light, but what I want to tell you is that the difficulty of this project far exceeds the sum of all the projects we have done before!"

"The liquid crystal panel consists of seven main parts, liquid crystal mixed material, driver IC, backlight, glass substrate, backlight module, color filter, and target material."

"In terms of glass substrates, there are currently three major players in the world, Corning, Neon Xiaoxuzi and Electric Xuzi. Together, the three of them occupy 90% of the global market share."

"At present, in my country, only Tunghsu Optoelectronics and Caihong are capable of manufacturing glass substrates, but unfortunately the technical content is low, and the output is far from being comparable to the three giants in the substrate industry. You must know that only Corning in the United States has Occupy more than 50% of the global market share!"

Luo Jia raised his head and said with a very serious expression: "Now you understand that the difficulty of the LCD panel project is unique. Even if we put all our existing funds and team on the gambling table, we may not be able to win."

"With regard to glass substrates, an important raw material, no domestic supplier can help us, and we can only rely on ourselves to fight alone."

"And this is just the first major component in the manufacture of LCD screens."

Luo Jia paused, "Next is polarizing film. The three major global polarizing film giants are also overseas companies, namely Neon Nitto, Sumitomo Chemical, and South Korea's LG Chem."

"The largest polarizer manufacturer in my country is Shenzhen Sanlipu, ranking ninth in the world. There are two other companies, namely Shengbo Optoelectronics, and a joint venture between Tunghsu Optoelectronics and Sumitomo Chemical."

"In the field of polarizers, we can't count on the help of domestic allies, and we can only fight alone!"

Luo Jia's speech speed became faster and faster, and the survey data appeared on the big screen in the conference room, making everyone in the company stupid.

No one knows when Luo Jia started planning to enter the display field.

No one knows when he did such a detailed market research.

He is just amazing!

He is well aware of all the data, and the size and technical level of competitors are clearly presented in front of everyone.

Everyone felt their breathing getting heavier and their hearts beating faster and faster.

This is too difficult!

Sure enough, creating a display screen casually is only the content of fantasy novels.

In reality, if you really want to build this thing, you need to build several large-scale factories in one go, and open up the entire industrial chain from upstream to downstream!

Oh my god...

Everyone slowly opened their mouths wide and looked at Lu Tao, the chief financial officer.

You can tell from Mr. Lu's embarrassed and dignified expression that the finance department is probably already stretched.

This time, Luo Jia bet the entire company!
