Chapter 38 Ants VS Elephants
“At present, we have reached an agreement with several parts suppliers. Yangcheng Tianhua Electronics Company will process and produce silver mink mice for us. When the process matures, the silver mink mouse will be released in the early stage. The production capacity is expected to reach about one thousand!”
Hu Xian, who had returned from Guangdong Province after a long journey, arrived at Li Dongling’s office before he had time to rest.
“However, some parts still need to be purchased from the Japan Benzene Company through the company in the port city!”
Hu Xian said after taking a sip of the tea that Li Dongling poured for him.
Li Dongling was not surprised when he heard this. Although America Liu began to suppress Nippon Semiconductor seven or eight years ago, Nippon Semiconductor's strength is still the best in the world.
Many domestic electronics and home appliance companies actually purchase chips, storage, etc. from Japan, Europe, America, and even Bangzi next door. For example, Wanyan Company, which invented VCD and became extremely popular this year, is known as the global The largest VCD giant, but the core technology patents, decoders, and VCD processing chips are all controlled by foreign companies.
For example, Wanyan's decoding chips are controlled by America's Eshi and Scoop, and the VCD chips are purchased from Philips and Sony. That is to say, as long as these four companies are willing, they can completely support the development of the third generation. There is no problem with two, or even ten or eight Wanyan. They are selling chips anyway. No matter which company they sell to, they will not lose a penny!
Donggin High-tech’s Silver Sable mouse is now unavoidable. It is simply unrealistic to domestically produce all the parts of the Silver Sable mouse. Even using domestically produced ones may cost more than buying foreign ones. Much higher.
This is also the reason why the concept of making is not as good as buying is popular now. Foreign products are mature, have high technical level, and are cheap. Domestic companies have put a lot of effort into developing them, but they are still lagging behind and cannot be sold. Over time, , no one will do such a thankless task. This cannot be changed by just one word.
However, when Wan Yan failed in VCD, companies such as Eshi, Scoop, Philips, Sony, etc. joined forces to sell decoders and VCD chips to dozens of companies, allowing them to compete with Wan Yan. At that time, some people will probably understand the key to whose hands the technology is.
Li Dongling definitely doesn’t want Dongling Hi-Tech to be controlled by others like Wan Yan. He saw the possibility of becoming a giant company, but was easily destroyed. However, getting rid of the situation of being controlled by others cannot be done overnight. At least Tanglin Hi-tech has not yet reached the point where it needs to be considered. The most important thing now is to survive!
“The stargazing satellite pot is completely unsaleable. The sales volume of the entire stargazing satellite pot is around 750,000 units!”
Li Dongling also gave Hu Xian the bottom line. Now The satellite pot market has become extremely corrupt, with prices being reduced like crazy. Since last year, in more than six months, almost 750,000 stargazing satellite pots have been sold, with a total transaction volume of more than 200 million!
But the huge profits have passed. Now selling satellite pots, let alone making money, is good if you can not lose money. The Shangguan Town Component Factory has now entered the inventory clearance stage, which also means , Tanglin Hi-Tech can no longer get money from the satellite pot project.
It seems that making as much as 200 million in half a year is a huge profit, but after paying taxes, the dividends that Tanglin Hi-Tech can get from it are about 26 million.
If the silver sable mice and digital cordless phones cannot be sold, then Tanglin High-tech will also be in a state of emptiness.
"Gaopeng is in contact with domestic computer companies such as Great Wall, Inspur, and Qixi. If we can get mouse orders from these companies, then Tanglin Hi-Tech will have a firm foothold in the domestic mouse industry... …”
When Donglin Hi-Tech cooperates with these computer brands, it basically acts as an OEM, that is, the mice produced are affixed with the trademarks of these computer companies. There is nothing we can do about it, Silver Sable Nowadays, the popularity is too low. I don’t know how many retail users will buy it. Those major computer manufacturers will not easily cooperate with Donglin Hi-Tech to develop mice.
At this point, Tanglin Hi-Tech took the initiative to seek cooperation with computer manufacturers such as Inspur, Great Wall, and Qixi at a price close to cost. Only then did the other party be willing to test a batch of products with Tanglin Hi-Tech.
"I think we still need to consider this cooperation and cooperate again if we have the opportunity!"
Yangcheng, Gao Peng has almost reached an agreement with the director of the purchasing department of Qixi Computer. The last step is to sign the contract and win the contract. When placing the order for 10,000 silver sable mice, someone came in and whispered a few words into the other person's ear. The supervisor immediately changed his tune and left without saying anything.
This made Gao Peng a little stunned. He didn’t know what happened. He wanted to catch up and ask, but the other party avoided Gao Peng.
Not only Qixi Computer, but also the several computer manufacturers we were talking about have changed their attitudes at this time. They don't even want to see anyone from Tanglin Hi-Tech.
Just when Gao Peng was confused, the reporter from the newspaper that had previously advertised for Silver Sable called and said to Gao Peng, "I really believed your nonsense, you know. How much trouble have you caused to our newspaper? You are a copycat, but you still dare to advertise in the newspaper?
Your company is waiting to be sued by Microsoft. I have been really hurt by you! ”
Gao Peng, who was sprayed, hung up the phone before he could speak. Gao Peng hurried to call the stop and read several newspapers. There were several economic companies in the technology industry. Newspapers are actually reporting on the news that "Silver Sable Mouse is copying Microsoft Mouse"
"I've been looking at you for a long time to decide whether to buy it or not. I don't know if I'm going to do business or not!" "The old man at the newsstand couldn't help but chattered to Gao Peng.
Normally, Gao Peng would definitely have a good talk with the old man, but how could he be in such a mood today to throw down a ticket? , without waiting for change, he took the newspaper and ran towards Yangcheng Airport, preparing to fly back to the provincial capital and then to Pingyang.
Donngling High-Tech also received the news immediately, because there was already one. The reporter came to Pingyang to interview Tanglin Hi-Tech. “We are reporters from the provincial economic weekly and want to interview your company. Why are you copying Microsoft’s latest product? ! ”
In the conference room of Dongling High-Tech, a reporter from the provincial capital asked aggressively, reporters these days are quite powerful. Economic Weekly of the provincial capital is not an official media, but this kind of thing is just right. When these media join in the fun, they naturally work very hard to dig out big news.
Yao Luoying raised her eyebrows, with a look of sullenness on her face, "Our company did not copy Microsoft. We developed Silver Sable ourselves, and the patents and technologies all belong to Dongling Hi-Tech!"
"You mean, Microsoft plagiarized you?!"
The reporter became even more excited when she heard Yao Luoying's words, and quickly asked someone to record it. She originally thought that this time she came to see It is said that the company that developed the Silver Sable mouse bowed its head and cried to admit its mistake to avoid being sued and jailed by Microsoft. I didn't expect Tanglin Hi-Tech to be so brave.
As for saying that Microsoft copied Tanglin Hi-tech, if you say this, you will probably laugh out loud. What level of existence is Microsoft, and what is Tanglin Hi-tech? If you say this, a few people will believe it, and they are afraid of being regarded as crazy. .
“Assistant Yao!”
Li Dongling came to the conference room, stopped Yao Luoying who was about to continue the argument, and glanced at the reporter from the provincial capital Economic Weekly.
"Donngling Hi-Tech Company will respond to this matter tomorrow!"
"We will come again. Before the matter comes to light, our newspaper society has been paying attention to this matter! ”
Looking at the reporter who regarded herself as a messenger of justice and left with her head held high, Li Dongling glanced at her back for a few times, got up and returned to the office.
After nightfall, the lights on the second floor of Dongling Hi-Tech were still on. Gao Peng, who had returned to Pingyang overnight, as well as Hu Xian, Yao Luoying, Li Dongshan and others, all gathered in Li Dongling's office.
“A technology company only wants to use plagiarism as a shortcut. Even if it succeeds for a while, it will eventually fail. Only by pursuing the spirit of craftsmanship for thirty years can a company in Japan be able to stand out in an industry. To keep a firm foothold, while some companies want to reach the sky in one step and walk the same path as others in 30 years in one year, they will eventually fall off the cliff.
This is true for a company, it is also true for people, and it is true for a country! , the same is true..."
Li Dongling looked at the New Science and Technology Express newspaper that Gao Peng brought back. For several days in a row, New Economic Express was covering this matter overwhelmingly. Lin Shi who reported this matter Mann has become even more famous and is known as the only female reporter in the domestic technology industry who dares to tell the truth.
Lin Charmaine wrote eloquent articles one after another, criticizing the group of companies headed by Silver Sable Mouse Development Company that only knew how to plagiarize, and even raised the level to the social level, almost saying that Dongling Hi-Tech is a black sheep and a disaster for the country and the people.
After reading this newspaper, Li Dongling has an appreciation for Lin Shiman’s literary talent.
“The problem now is that no one wants to believe what we say!”
Gao Peng said angrily. The technology media is now almost one-sided in criticizing Silver Sable and Dongling Hi-tech. , as for the truth, they seem to already know it, and they don’t allow Donglin High-tech to defend themselves at all. They just want to wait until Donglin High-tech admits their mistake with tears in their eyes.
Gao Peng was fidgeting irritably, Hu Xian was frowning, and Yao Luoying was filled with indignation. Chen Tao and Li Dongshan sat there in silence, and Li Dongling saw the expressions of everyone.
Tapping his fingers on the table, Li Dongling remembered Lao Tzu's famous saying, misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies. Again, crisis is not an opportunity!
"Donngling Hi-Tech cannot sit back and wait for death, it needs to be sued!"
"That New Technology Express should be sued for reporting randomly without doing any investigation..."
Yao Luoying gritted her white teeth and said angrily, she felt at this time that only the person who wronged you knows how wronged you are!
“New Economic Express does want to sue, but if we want to get rid of the dirty water on Dongling Hi-Tech, it is not enough to sue New Economic Express. Microsoft must also sue!”
When Yao Luoying, Hu Huxian, and Gao Peng heard this, they couldn't help but look at Li Dongling in shock.
