Technological Hegemony

In any case, Luo Jia had been laying out the layout since the beginning of July, and this huge chessboard was finally officially laid out in September.

Walking out of the 2012 laboratory, Luo Jia lit a cigarette in the parking lot.

An Ran didn't like Luo Jia's habit of smoking very much. He fanned the wind with his hand, frowned and said, "If you take this step, you will never be able to take it back. Mr. Ren has already promised to contact the heads of the major giants as soon as possible. , gather in Shanghai tomorrow.”

"It's not easy to develop a new display technology. Do you really want to use it for other manufacturers?"

Luo Jia smiled and asked An Ran, "Do you think the Big Four have higher profits, or ours?"

An Ran was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood Luo Jia's meaning, "Probably about the same, the Big Four use our mobile phone assistants, our cameras, our wireless charging, all added up, every time they sell a mobile phone, we can Take a net profit of more than 100 yuan."

"The sales volume of the Big Four may reach 900 million units this year. In other words, we will make a net profit of 100 billion yuan from the Big Four."

"However, if the display screen is included, we can take another 100 yuan in net profit from each mobile phone produced by the Big Four, so our profit should be higher than theirs."

Luo Jia nodded, and said calmly, "The mobile phone industry is actually glamorous on the surface. Marketing costs money, stores cost money, and mass production takes up a lot of liquidity."

"Most of the profits are taken away by the core suppliers. We also make money. We earn more money than the Big Four, and we have become good friends with them. Isn't this the best business in the world?"

"And do you think, to this extent, I'm really just here to make money?"

An Ran laughed.

When a person has no money, money is the most important thing.

But at Luo Jia's level, if he is still thinking about making money, it would be too vulgar. After all, ideals are still necessary, just in case they come true.

 …

The torrent of the times is advancing irresistibly.

The next day, under the convening of President Ren of Huawei, the four giants in the mobile phone industry, the top six in the display industry, and the eight powerful players in the TV industry gathered in Shanghai.

When Luo Jia walked into this meeting room, what he saw were industry leaders. They were flipping through Luo Jia's star magazine, their eyes full of shock.

In fact, most of them can't understand professional academic journals like Xingchen, but this doesn't mean they don't know the value of Xingchen.

Mr. Ren came from Shenzhen City overnight, and he took Luo Jia to shake hands with everyone one by one, expressing his appreciation to Luo Jia without hesitation.

"Since everyone is already acquainted, let's start right away." Mr. Ren said, "Luo Jia, tell us your thoughts from beginning to end."

Luo Jia smiled and walked up to the front desk.

Perhaps his habit of occasionally saying bad things can't be changed. As soon as Luo Jia opened his mouth, all the bosses laughed.

"Actually, we are still missing an important guest today. Someone didn't want to come. How should I put it, he and we may really have different paths." Luo Jia said.

The bosses smiled knowingly. They naturally knew who Luo Jia was talking about, but everyone was a person of status, so it was good to understand, and it was meaningless to tell the truth.

"Next, please look at the big screen."

Luo Jia became serious. He seemed to be a different person suddenly. He was no longer the young man who occasionally swears bad words. When he saw his seniors, he always used his young age as a shield. Instead, he was able to sit on an equal footing with everyone present. , to guide the scientific and technological elites of the country.

The screen flickered, and a list appeared, a list of the top 15 global display panels.

"Currently, in the display panel industry, Samsung occupies a 17.6 percent share, taking the lead."

"The second place is BOE, with a market share of 17.1%, which is only 0.5% behind Samsung.

If nothing else happens, by the end of this year, BOE will be able to surpass Samsung and take the No. 1 position in the world. "

The bosses applauded lightly, while the boss of BOE waved his hand, signaling that everyone should not be flattered. The number one output does not mean that the profit and technology are also the number one. In terms of money making and technical capabilities, BOE is still no match for Samsung.

The conversation suddenly changed, and Luo Jia said, "However, everyone, please note that LG ranks third in the world, Neon JDI ranks fourth, and PCT ranks fifth, all of which are overseas companies."

"What does this indicate?"

Mr. Lei of Xiaomi, in his non-standard Mandarin, "It shows that we are not strong enough in the display industry. Although there are six companies that have entered the top 15 in the world, except for BOE, they are all in the middle and lower reaches."

The other bigwigs agreed after hearing the words.

But unexpectedly, Luo Jia's next words stunned everyone.

"It is true that my country's display panel companies are not strong enough, but what I want to talk about is not this problem. Haven't you noticed? In the list of the top 15 global panel companies, there is only one neon company?"

"In the past, there was a Sharp in Neon Country, but Sharp has been acquired by Foxconn. Therefore, at present, there is only JDI in Neon Country."

"I remember when I was a child, there were many TVs made in the Neon country, such as Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, etc., at home and in neighbors' homes. Those TVs were awesome, and there were many domestic TVs. In fact, the picture tubes and panels installed were imported from China. Imported from Neon Country."

"However, unknowingly, there are fewer and fewer TVs and panels in the Neon Country on the market. Finally, in the past two years, only the JDI family is left alive."

"This shows what?"

"It shows that in the world of science and technology, there is no myth at all, and there is no invincible enterprise!"

"The panel industry in Neon Country was absolutely number one in the world."

"But now they have been killed, driven out of the market by South Korea, our country, and our counterparts in Wanwan Province!"

Luo Jia paused, "This is what I want to talk about today."

"In the past, when we looked at Sharp, Panasonic and Sony, we thought they were gods and invincible, just like we look at the two giants in South Korea, LG and Samsung today."

"So, we should have confidence in the future. If the Koreans were able to kill Neon's counterparts back then, we will be able to do the same in the future and kill the Korean counterparts."

Luo Jia's thinking angle is very tricky!

All the bosses were stunned. It turned out that he took out this ranking list not to point out the shortcomings of domestic panels, but to tell everyone that all giants can be killed.

After a pause, Luo Jia continued, "Let's look at the TV industry again."

The screen was refreshed again, and a list of the world's top 15 TV companies appeared.

Samsung and LG rank the top two, with shipments of 40 million and 32 million units respectively, while TCL, which ranks third, only ships 15 million units, and Hisense, which ranks fourth, ships 12 million units. million units.

It is worth mentioning that in this list, there is a strange name, Philips AOC.

AOC refers to my country's TPV, and the Philips TV trademark has been authorized to TPV, so the Philips TVs bought on the market are actually domestic products.

Similarly, Hisense operates the Sharp brand in North America. Outside of North America, the operator of the Sharp brand is Foxconn, and Hisense also operates the neon brand Toshiba.

All in all, domestic manufacturers are actually much smarter than many consumers imagined, and many industry changes have already been completed unconsciously.

For example, it seems that sportswear and sneakers are very popular recently, but the real owner of this Italian brand is actually Anta.

Luo Jia gave a brief introduction to the industry in very witty language, and then his eyes swept over the faces of the bigwigs present. It seemed that everyone was very focused.

"The reason why I invited all the seniors here today is because I have something that I want to show everyone." Luo Jia said, waving his hand to the outside of the meeting room.
