Chapter 334 The food and clothing of millions of workers
Wang Jizhi, who was sitting not far away, saw the scene between Li Dongling and Duan Yongji. Although there seemed to be no dispute between the two sides, Wang Jizhi clearly felt that There was something wrong with the atmosphere, and I sat up straight for a moment.
Wang Jizhi is too familiar with Duan Yongji. He is too familiar with Duan Yongji's style and demeanor. On the surface, he looks harmless to humans and animals, but in action, he is violent.
Wang Jizhi didn't know what the two sides talked about, but looking at Duan Yongji's expression, he felt that Duan Yongji was angry or even angry at this moment.
When Li Dongling rejected Duan Yongji's proposal, there was no dispute between the two parties, but the scene became obviously cold.
After Li Dongling played a few shots, he returned to sit under the umbrella. Wang Jizhi came over and reminded Li Dongling in a low voice, "Mr. Li, be careful with Duan Yongji. Lao Duan has always been ruthless in his attacks, so be careful." ! ”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang for reminding me!”
Li Dongling regarded Wang Jizhi as a technical expert rather than the general manager of some company.
Wang Jizhi also took advantage of this word of "Wang Gong" and told Li Dongling a few more words about the past events within Sitong.
"At that time, Lao Duan proposed the goal of Sitong to benchmark America's IBM Company, and began to cooperate with Japan Benzene Company in an all-round way, entering the real estate, securities, pharmaceutical and other industries. As a result, all failed, and Sitong accumulated a lot of money. All the funds were burned.
At that time, Sitong's board of directors decided to let Lao Duan leave and let me serve as Sitong's president. But Lao Duan's methods were indeed brilliant! "
Wang Jizhi laughed self-deprecatingly, "To this day, I still can't figure out how I was overturned by Lao Duan. At that time, seven people on the Sitong board of directors, including me, demanded that Lao Duan be fired.
But in the end, through the mediation of some people in the development zone, Lao Duan retained his position and continued to be the president of Stone, but four of us directors were kicked out! "
Li Dongling nodded. Wang Jizhi's words were obvious. Duan Yongji was good at playing both sides. He acted decisively at critical moments. He could give up a lot of interests, win the support of key figures, and use means outside the rules. To win over the opponent.
To put it bluntly, Wang Jizhi, who has a technical background, is really far behind Duan Yongji in his ranking.
But Wang Jizhi's words also forced Li Dongling to be more wary of the other party. Duan Yongji and the other members of the Taishan Industrial Research Association still had to be more cautious.
"Wang Gong, why did you come to me today?" Li Dongling looked at Duan Yongji and Duan Yongji who were talking in a low voice in the distance, and asked Wang Jizhi.
“There is something!”
When it comes to this, Wang Jizhi’s old face is also a little embarrassed. As a veteran in the industry, he debuted much earlier than Li Dongling, but now, Wang Jizhi still has reputation and status in the world.
But what do you mean by status? When others mention him, they may respect him to a certain extent, but...that is, it is just a verbal respect. Why does Duan Yongji not care about Wang Jizhi now? It is because Wang Jizhi now , he has a title in vain, but can’t threaten him and Sitong, so naturally he doesn’t need to care about it.
Looking at Duan Yongji in the distance, Wang Jizhi thought of Duan Yongji's contempt for him. He thought, it didn't matter if he lost his face. Could it be more embarrassing than being unable to raise his head in front of Duan Yongji, his mortal enemy?
“I hope to cooperate with Donglin Hi-Tech on the printer project!”
“Now the typewriter market is being replaced by printers, and it is certain that Sitong’s main business will be replaced. , but Sitong is still holding on to the typewriter!"
Wang Jizhi sneered and said, anyone with a discerning eye can see that typewriters are outdated, especially after computers began to become popular, typewriters have become more and more popular. Compared with printers, they are like fireflies competing against the bright moon.
But Sitong is now holding on to its record of credit for typewriters and is unwilling to let go. It is still living in the past. Sitong's typewriters can still be sold, but when computers become widely popular in China, typewriters will be replaced. hour.
"The domestic printer market is now mainly occupied by Japanese companies such as Canon, Kyocera, and Epson. A few years ago, Lenovo launched the first generation of Chinese laser printers.
However, that printer has patents, technology, and Almost all the parts are taken from America's partners, and they basically work for America's company, and the technology is not as good as Canon's!"
Wang Jizhi raised his head, Looking at Li Dongling, "Actually, as early as a few years ago, when Dongling High-tech established a joint laboratory, I had thought about a project to cooperate in developing printers with Dongling High-tech, but..."
Wang Jizhi Before he continued, Li Dongling could guess what was going on. At that time, Wang Jizhi had just come out of Sitong. He was arrogant and wanted to show off his talents again, so he asked him to join Dongling Hi-Tech, which had just been established. , It’s really embarrassing.
However, who knows, Wang Jizhi has not made any achievements in recent years. His reputation as the chief engineer of Sitong has also been consumed. This time when he heard that Li Dongling was coming, Wang Jizhi Only then did he pull his old face over, wanting to give it another try!
"Mr. Li, I think there will be a market for printers in the future. The domestic copier and printer market has just begun, and the future market will be even bigger!" Wang Jizhi said to Li Dongling with a slightly excited expression. Wang Jizhi is still better at research and development technology. , from the previous typewriter to the current printer, he wants to try again.
Li Dongling looked at Wang Jizhi in front of him. Like Academician Ni, Li Dongling had no doubts about Wang Jizhi's skills.
The printer market began to appear in the 1980s. With the advent of the computer age, printers began to explode. HP launched the first color printer a few years ago.
There is no need to doubt the market for printers and copiers in the future. Open the map and you will see copy shops with copiers and printers just a few streets away. Even home printers have begun to enter thousands of households. Every year, global printers The market has also reached more than 50 billion US dollars.
However, in the previous life, the domestic printer market was basically divided between HP, Canon, and Epson. The printer shipments of the three brands combined accounted for more than 70% of the domestic market.
In this industry, the domestic printers that were somewhat influential in the past few years were Lenovo printers that were accumulated with patents, technologies, and parts from overseas brands, but they were only somewhat influential, compared to HP of course. It's incomparable.
Chrysanthemum Factory, on the other hand, was a latecomer and performed very strongly, directly impacting the top three in the domestic printer sales industry. Chrysanthemum Factory is known as a foreign brand crusher. This name is not for nothing... …
Looking at Li Dongling who was silent, Wang Jizhi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He didn't know if Li Dongling would support him in the research and development of printers.
Before this, of course Wang Jizhi had found other investors, but those companies had unclear attitudes towards Wang Jizhi. Due to the existence of Sitong and Duan Yongji, large companies had some doubts about whether to support him. Yes, because he offended Sitong alone, many large companies felt that the gains outweighed the losses.
As for small investors, they are very enthusiastic about Wang Jizhi's name, but they can be divided into two types. One is to use his name to make money.
On the other hand, when someone gets a typewriter, they welcome him with both hands, but when it comes to a printer, they are a bit like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Printer research and development is difficult. The money invested is likely to be wasted, and we don’t know when the results will be produced. The most important thing is that the patents and technologies of the global printer industry have been completely lost by America, Japan and Japan. Corporate monopoly.
Xerox was once the dominant player in the copier industry. With more than 500 copier patents, it had monopolized the entire industry for more than ten years.
In the era of printers, HP, IBM, Xerox, Canon, Epson, Samsung and other companies together hold more than tens of thousands of printer and printing consumable patents, forming a huge patent barrier.
What is the current attitude of domestic companies towards foreign brands? Except for Dongling Hi-Tech, Juhua Factory, Haier, Gree, Changhong and other companies, which dare to go head-to-head with overseas brands, other companies avoid foreign brands and do not care about them at all. Dare to fight.
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult for small and medium-sized investors to support Wang Jizhi, so there has been no progress. Dongling High-Tech is already one of the few companies that Wang Jizhi still has hope for.
The most important thing is that, like Academician Ni, Wang Jizhi’s age is almost reaching the threshold. At the age of fifty-five, he is at the end of his peak period as a scientific researcher, with research and development capabilities, experience, energy, management His abilities have already been perfected. In a few years, even if he is asked to do it again, he will not have the energy, or his spirit has dissipated.
Although time never defeats beauty, it has to be admitted that heroes grow old and beauties grow old.
“Dongli Hi-tech and Yanjing University have just reached a cooperation. Tangling Hi-tech and the joint laboratory will establish a new R&D center in Yanjing.
Tangling Hi-tech already has computer peripheral product projects such as Silver Sable. If Wang Gong is willing, he can jointly develop printer products with Yanjing Yanda Center and join Tangling Hi-tech's computer peripheral product project! "
Wang Jizhi couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this, but Li Dongling continued, "Donngling Hi-Tech can support Wang Gong in developing printers, but in this industry, we can't act too hastily!
HP, Canon, Xerox, etc., in this industry, have established too many patent walls and cannot rush. In the future, printer projects can focus on digital copiers, laser printers, inkjet printers, dot matrix printers, and household printers. Small printer market. "
"One more thing," Li Dongling looked at Wang Jizhi and said something that shocked him, "not only to develop copiers and printers, but also to enter the offline market and open a copy store of his own brand, and There must be enough graphic and text printing stores! ”
As a newbie in the printer industry, I will definitely not be able to compete with old brands such as Canon and HP in terms of technology and sales. If I only develop printers, I will definitely lose money in the short term, or even lose money for many years.
< br>
This is also the reason why domestic printer brands cannot compete with HP and Canon. The other party makes money while you lose money. How can this game continue?
What to do if the printer does not make money? Then make money from other places and open printing stores in schools, municipal government units, office buildings and other places.
The domestic demand for printing will surge in the future. As long as the prices of these printing stores are not outrageous and the stores occupy good locations, it is not a problem to live for more than ten or twenty years, and basically cannot lose money, except for those who earn money from printing. With money, you can also engage in advertising design, sell printing supplies, stationery, and provide after-sales printer repair and other services.
Of course, if it is a chain store, several stores will be opened in each city. Each store will recruit three or five employees. A large store may have a dozen or even dozens of employees. For more than a thousand stores, plus How many jobs can it provide, and how many families are behind it? If the city government and work units don't purchase printers of this brand, they can purchase other printers. The food and clothing of millions of workers is not an empty talk!
