Chapter 160 Territory
Kuanxi Gang said with full confidence, not taking Dongxin Semiconductor seriously, "We are developing a new generation of phone chips that have more powerful performance and support more functions. In the future, it will also support video phone and other functions.
As long as Toshiba's new generation chip is successfully developed, it can directly replace the Sirius chip. Why don't Donglin Hi-Tech reject our olive branch today? It will have to come over then. Please cooperate with us!”
Hearing what Kawanishi Tsuyoshi said, the manager who came from the Toshiba headquarters office nodded with satisfaction, “I will convey your words to President Masaru Okamura. The semiconductor department must handle Donglin Hi-Tech's matter as soon as possible, so as not to affect Toshiba's stock price!"
Since being dealt with by America, Toshiba has been in a state of decline. Although it is still a giant company and owns home appliances! , computers, semiconductors, power generation, nuclear power plants and many other industries, Japan is a representative of benzene manufacturing, and its shipments of TVs, laptops, etc. are among the top ten in the world.
But compared with ten years ago, Toshiba is not as good as it was. At that time, Toshiba was number one in the world in many industries. People are not afraid of comparing with others, but they are afraid of memories and being unable to extricate themselves from living in the past. Toshiba falls into this category. The past was so glorious that even wealthy households now feel like they are in ruins.
This time Toshiba President Masaoka Okamura hurriedly sent someone to inquire. It was also because of the rumors that Donglin Hi-Tech refused to purchase Toshiba chips, which affected Toshiba's stock price.
After seeing off the headquarters manager, Kawanishi Gang's face suddenly turned ugly. Despite his solemn vow just now, it seemed that losing the order from Dongling Hi-Tech was of no importance.
But last year, Toshiba Semiconductor’s revenue was around US$6.1 billion, and Donglin Hi-Tech’s purchase orders from Toshiba exceeded US$260 million, making it a major customer One of them.
Kuanishi Gang saw the booming sales of digital cordless phones, so he kept raising the price of phone chips. Donglin High-tech was very dissatisfied with the price increase of Toshiba chips. Of course, Kawanishi Tsuyoshi knew it, but he didn't care at all before ……
After all, last year, the chip industry in mainland China had been completely wiped out, and there were no companies developing chips at all. So Sichuan West just felt that it was Dongling Hi-Tech that had a firm grasp of it, so it continued to increase chip prices and cut off supply from time to time to tell Dongling Hi-Tech. By the way, the importance of Toshiba chips!
But Kawanishi Tsuyoshi did not expect that Donglin Hi-Tech would dare to challenge Toshiba. The established Dongxin Semiconductor actually developed Sirius chips and no longer purchased chips from Toshiba.
I have never seen a company like Dongling Hi-Tech in western Sichuan for so many years. I thought it was a soft persimmon, just like the VCD industry in mainland China. I let Toshiba squeeze it, but I didn't expect it to be a hard nail. !
At this time, Kawanishi Tsuyoshi was also looking a little sad. He had vowed just now, but he was unsure whether he could regain his advantage in the phone chip industry, but he couldn't show weakness in front of Toshiba Gangmura, otherwise His position as president of Toshiba Semiconductor may be lost immediately.
While Toshiba Semiconductor is still trying to find ways to target Donglin Hi-Tech, on the other side, there are companies that have a much bigger headache than Toshiba.
The atmosphere in Siemens has been very delicate these days. It has always been known for its gentleness. At least on the surface, the president Su Biluo, who is a Siemens employee, has looked very ugly to the naked eye these days.
Siemens digital cordless phones failed miserably in North America. This is no longer a secret at Siemens headquarters. After all, many European media have reported overwhelmingly that Europe is not monolithic. France, Germany, and England are all mutually exclusive. Damn it, one side is in trouble, and everyone likes it...
In the past few days, all kinds of news have been circulating within Siemens. There are even rumors that the Siemens Digital Cordless Phone Department may be abolished. For a time, people were even more panicked.
Coming out of the conference room again, Su Bi Le looked exhausted, and followed Su Bi Le back to the office step by step. It was Kailot, the head of the Siemens telephone department.
Carrot is now full of gratitude to Subiluo. At the board meeting just now, Supiluo actually resisted the pressure of a group of Siemens directors and tried to ensure that he was retained and did not let him leave Siemens.
There had been rumors before that Carlott was Subile's puppet and microphone in the telephone department, or even the scapegoat. If something went wrong, he would be blamed.
Even Carlott thought the same way. Siemens Telephone suffered another tragic overturn. When they were defeated in America, Carlott had already prepared his resignation letter. Who knew that Superior actually retained him? Carlott felt grateful for a moment.
The position of Siemens department manager is a high-paying position in Germany and Europe. The annual salary, bonus and dividends, etc., are all above hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you are lucky, you will have the opportunity to earn an annual salary. It's not that easy to find a job like this that pays more than one million US dollars. If you can stay, who would be willing to get out...
Looking at Carlott who was diligently pouring water and making coffee for him, Subile's heart He sighed, how could he not know what abilities the guy in front of him had? His abilities were not as good as those of his predecessor Frankel. However, Subile must keep Carlott. This has nothing to do with his ability, but if two consecutive telephone department managers are kicked out, it will have to make people question his vision for selecting professional managers, as well as his Is his ability as rumored? He is on the same level as General Electric President Welch, IBM President Gerstner, and Nichiben Kyocera Inamori Kazuo.
The key is that losing to Shenzhou twice in a row and falling into the same trap twice is really unjustifiable for a giant company like Siemens. It can even be said to be embarrassing. If it is entirely the responsibility of the Siemens telephone department manager, then Does he, the president of Siemens, have any responsibility? !
There are some things that you should not delve into deeply, otherwise you will find that when you pull out the gourd and hang the gourd, no one is clean under your buttocks, it is just a pile of that!
Keeping Carrot can serve as a firewall to ensure that the failure of the digital cordless phone will not burn him. These are office fighting skills. Subile does not want to use these, but sometimes, he must use them. , he must remain useful so that he can lead Siemens and find Dongling Hi-Tech to regain his position in the future!
"President Superior, Thomas, wants to come to Germany to report to you and the board of directors. He has prepared a new plan for Shenzhou Telephone."
"No need!"
When Subile heard this, he said directly, "Let him not come to Germany. The board of directors has decided to send an investigation team from the headquarters to America to handle the follow-up affairs. Just ask him to cooperate!"
Carlot knows that this basically determines the fate of Thomas, the head of Siemens Telephone America. When the headquarters sends someone over to take over the business of America, Thomas will leave.
When he thought that Thomas was going to be kicked out, Carlott couldn't help but feel a little sad. Thomas had some abilities, but he met Shenzhou who didn't follow the routine, and the result turned out to be a disastrous defeat, let alone Thomas. , facing Shenzhou's fierce attack, the performance of any professional manager is estimated to be similar to Thomas, or even worse.
But this thought only lasted for a moment. If Thomas doesn't get out of here, it will be his turn to get out of Carlott.
“What will the digital cordless phone department do in the future?!” Carlott tentatively asked Subile.
Hearing this, Su Bi Le gave him a dissatisfied look. The guy in front of him was really a messenger. He didn't answer anything. There was no need to think about expecting him to clean up the mess and get back on his feet.
Subile fell into deep thought. Siemens’s fiasco in the digital cordless phone industry may not be considered a fiasco. Siemens is still the second largest brand in the industry, with monthly shipments of more than hundreds of thousands of units, and its business volume is still high. It collected more than 10 million US dollars, but for Siemens, it was already a failure if it did not become the number one in the industry.
But the done thing is already done. Shenzhou has become the leader in digital cordless phones. The rest, whether Siemens, Philips, Panasonic, General Electric and other departments, can only compete to be the second in the industry and find it difficult to challenge Shenzhou's position.
The most important thing is that the failure of digital cordless phones also disrupted Super's plan. His original plan was to occupy the digital cordless phone industry. With this multi-billion dollar market, there are enough The funds support Siemens to enter the mobile phone industry with the most potential.
In this way, Siemens can build a huge communications equipment empire, but now it has a bad start, which has disrupted all subsequent plans of Super.
"Reduce advertising investment, retain the current engineers and R&D team, and no more R&D personnel in the future!"
Superior said to Carlott that his decision did not give up Siemens phones, but he would not increase investment anymore. In the future, he will sell as many machines as he can. He is no longer prepared to compete with Shenzhou in this industry, or has given up for the time being.
When Carrot heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best choice for the Siemens telephone department. It was enough as long as the department and personnel did not suspend production or abolish it.
After Carrot left, Subile picked up the phone on the table, thought for a moment, and dialed the number, "Accelerate research and development. I want to see the first Siemens mobile phone released by the end of the year or next year at the latest. On sale! "
"Donggin Hi-tech", after putting down the phone, Subile murmured to himself. Originally, he was only a little wary of Tanglin Hi-Tech, but now, he began to regard Tanglin Hi-Tech as a real company. rival, Su Bi Le feels that there will definitely be another chance to compete with Tanglin Hi-Tech in the future!
Shenzhou's bid to become the world's largest digital cordless phone brand will affect not only Siemens and Toshiba, but other brands that want to enter this industry can only compete for the second place.
For Tanglin Hi-Tech, it has finally found its own place in the global technology industry since its debut. With the global digital cordless phone industry, an industry worth billions of dollars, Tanglin Hi-Tech has finally found its own place in the global technology industry. In the technology industry, we have our own territory!
