Chapter 467: Falling behind does not mean you will be beaten, but I just don’t want to beat you today
I heard that the interview team of the central media, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Xian, Xie Shining, Gao Zhiyuan and others, all set their sights on Li Dongling.
The central media did not go to Shenzhou Storage, but went straight to the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech. Obviously they came for the head Li Dongling.
It is conceivable that this time the central media wants to make a complete report on the lawsuit between Shenzhou Storage, or Tanglin High-tech, and Lianxiang, and the scale of the questions asked is probably too high. It will be quite big!
“Please come in with the central media interview team!”
Li Dongling thought for a moment and said, "There is such a thing as the right to speak. If you don't speak up, others will speak for you. What is right and wrong this time, whether both sides are right or wrong, may be more than ten or twenty years later." , history will give the answer!”
Now is the hottest period of globalization, with various overseas accusations that the domestic market is not open, tariffs are too high, etc., because from Flynn to cars and ships, from high-end From computers to high-end home appliances, as well as machinery, chemicals, etc., they are all leading overseas.
All kinds of products produced from America, Old Europe, Japan, and Bangzi are almost dumped into the country. The countries that produce these products naturally advocate globalization and want to occupy the entire domestic market.
Then throw a few bones into the country and move the OEM industry, which relies on large-scale manpower to earn low profits but requires huge expenditures on energy, resources, and the environment, to the country. In the euphemistic name, let the country Enter the global industrial chain and turn the inland into a global factory.
It seems to be well-intentioned, and many media are advocating that this is America, Old Europe, Japan, etc. giving domestic meals to the country.
But looking at the world, it is almost the only region in the world that has a complete industrial system of light and heavy industries, and has enough personnel to support this huge industrial system. It is working hard to popularize compulsory education and provide the talents needed for this complete industrial system.
The gang is being dragged down by high labor costs and is seeking to transform into high-end industries. They want to transfer low-end production capacity overseas to America, Old Europe, Japan, etc. Instead of placing production capacity domestically, they still Where can it be placed?
Even if some people say that they have to rely on others to feed them, why don’t they think about why Siam, Jiaozhi, Asan, Laomaozi, Africa and other places cannot eat this bowl of rice? Do you have to eat at home?
In the past life, some people and the media advocated that domestic OEM industries such as mobile phones, clothing, and shoes would be snatched away by Asan, Jiaozhi, and even Africa. However, the production lines moved to these places , it was all done after the production line was debugged domestically. Why did it have to be debugged domestically before it was pulled in? Because there are no engineers in overseas places who can debug it!
In addition, raw materials, parts, etc. are all processed in China, assembled there, and sold with a local brand. Even the electricity to run the machine production line must be supplied domestically!
This kind of globalization led and advocated by America is not unlimited. When the country also begins to impact high-end machinery, electronics, home appliances, chemicals and other industries, let’s see if America is still willing!
Today, through globalization, the companies that supply "high-quality and low-priced" computer systems, chips, graphics cards, and LCD screens to computer manufacturers such as Lianxiang, Great Wall, and Founder have also come to China. When you start producing these high-profit products, will you continue to supply them?
When the Angsa gang and the Hebrews come together and use all possible means to target the country, trying to lock down the technical level of the domestic technology industry, it is estimated that by then, Tanglin Hi-Tech and Only then will Lian Xiang's public opinion war finally come to an end.
But no matter what the public opinion is in the future, Li Dongling must make a statement this time. Whether it is right or wrong is something that future generations will judge by history. Now Dongling High-tech needs to make its own voice and express own attitude!
“Manager Xie!”
Su Chicheng was asked to arrange the interview team for the central media. When everyone left, Li Dongling stopped Shenzhou Storage General Manager Xie Shining.
"How is the research and development of the new product going?" Li Dongling asked Xie Shining.
This time, why do those companies in the USB flash drive alliance, IBM, Philips, Toshiba, and Bienwei, support Shenzhou Storage so much?
Of course, signing the agreement is one thing. If Shenzhou Storage is not helped this time, once the USB flash drive patent is abused without authorization, the competition pressure of the USB flash drives they produce will also increase, and the income will increase. There will also be losses.
However, apart from this apparent agreement, the most important thing is that Shenzhou Storage has come up with a sample of another storage product in addition to the USB flash drive, allowing the IBM and Toshiba gang to The company has seen greater profits from cooperation with Shenzhou Storage!
For companies like IBM and Toshiba, any bullshit agreement or commitment can be turned away. The key is to see whether it is profitable or not.
If there is a little, they will wave the flag and shout a few times. If not, then they will probably pretend to be stupid.
If the storage product sample had not been taken out, it is estimated that this time, IBM, Toshiba, Philips, and Bienwei will only pretend to shout a few times, and may even not work hard, and then stand there. Watching a play, you will never go out of your way like this!
“The SD card is still under process improvement, and it may take a lot of time before mass production.
However, with the technical support of IBM and Toshiba, and the joining of the engineering team , the research and development progress is much faster. If ideal, we can try mass production by the end of this year. ”
Xie Shining said, Shenzhou Storage’s new product is SD memory card!
The SD card project was initially established at the same time as the USB flash drive project at the Tanglin High-tech Technology Department. However, the research and development difficulty is much greater than that of the USB flash drive, so much so that the USB flash drive has already been put on sale. , and technically, it has been upgraded several times. When it started to impact the 256M memory, the SD card was still under development.
Although the production volume is not yet achieved, if no matter the cost, a sample of an SD card can be made in the laboratory. In addition, Shenzhou Storage has taken the lead and is registering the main patents of SD cards around the world in preparation. Set up a patent wall!
It was this SD sample card that made IBM, Toshiba and other U disk alliance companies begin to make every effort to support Shenzhou Storage. They desperately tried to stop technology licensing and supply supply. Parts, etc., all because supporting Shenzhou Storage has greater benefits than supporting Lianxiang!
It is true that U disks are making huge profits now, but after all, their uses are limited, but the scope of use of SD cards is much larger than that of U disks.
When the technical teams of Toshiba and IBM saw the SD card taken out by Shenzhou Storage, they could immediately think of how big the market for this thing is, including mobile phones, laptops, cameras, tablets, MP3, etc. that have not appeared in the world. , can be used.
Visible to the naked eye, the global revenue of SD cards is estimated to be much greater than that of USB flash drives. Companies such as IBM and Toshiba know how to choose as long as they are not stupid.
The USB flash drive global alliance formed by Shenzhou Storage will not only hold the USB flash drive patents, but also the SD card patents in the future. Under such circumstances, will IBM and Toshiba dare to contribute to Shenzhou Storage?
In the past life, there were four major technology alliances in the world, SD, Bluetooth, WiFi and Android System Alliance. As long as it is a modern electronic product, it is estimated that their four brothers cannot be bypassed. Companies that produce mobile phones, computers, MP3s, tablets, etc. , and cannot avoid them.
When America targeted Chrysanthemum Factory, these four major technology alliances all took action. It seemed that Chrysanthemum Factory was not affected. Chrysanthemum Factory is still selling well in China and has also developed its own technology for storage. card technology, and the technology is more advanced.
However, it is not without any cost. Why SD, WiFi, and Android can become global technologies is because they hold the power to set standards!
What is the right to set standards? It means that if you are compliant, you are compliant, and if you are not compliant, you are compliant. If you are unqualified, you are unqualified, and if you are qualified, you are unqualified. The right to interpret is in the hands of others.
In the previous life, the chrysanthemum factory could still be sold in China, but after a lot of trouble, it was completely disabled in the overseas market, almost losing the old European market that it had finally won.
Now the SD card patent, one of the four major technology alliances in the world, is in the hands of Shenzhou Storage. The SD Card Alliance will also be formed by Shenzhou Storage.
In the future, it will not be certain companies targeting Donglin Hi-Tech, but Tanglin Hi-Tech will threaten to kick it out of the SD Alliance depending on which company it dislikes.
Although everyone hates the great powers, what if you sit up in a dying dream and realize that the great powers that act tyrannically are you?
In the future, the Bluetooth Alliance, the WiFi Alliance, and Tanglin Hi-Tech will definitely be involved. Not to mention the use of Bluetooth and WiFi standards, who can control them? At least they can’t be manipulated!
“The development progress of SD cards must be accelerated. I heard that Infineon, a semiconductor company owned by Siemens, and SanDisk are also developing similar SD cards. Shenzhou Storage must be careful. Cut it off!”
Li Dongling looked at Xie Shining and said, “Before the solid-state drive project is developed, U disks, SD cards, and corresponding memory cards will be Shenzhou Storage’s most important revenue.”
“I understand!”
Xie Shining's face wrinkled with worry when he heard about the solid-state drive project.
In other words, Shenzhou Storage’s current revenue is quite good. With the help of the previous USB flash drive alliance, USB flash drives have not become widespread in major regions around the world, and the profits are quite good.
If the SD card is developed again, a U disk in the left hand and an SD card in the right hand, Shenzhou Storage may be one of the most profitable companies in the storage industry in the future!
However, Shenzhou Storage now has another sinkhole project, that is, solid-state drives. IBM has not understood this thing, and Toshiba has not developed it. Now it has been clearly spread around the world, and it is still There are only two companies developing solid-state drives, one is Shenzhou Storage and the other is Samsung...
To be honest, Xie Shining himself has no idea whether solid-state drives can be successful, but with Li Dongling Stud solid-state drives, he can only Bite the bullet and lead the team to develop it.
...
Meng Liang was walking at the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech. As a reporter in the financial industry, he looked young but had quite a lot of experience. After graduating from Yanjing University of Communication, he went straight to the development industry during his internship. Change the training center below.
He also worked in banks and securities companies, and then joined the Central Media Financial Channel, where he served as the host of many financial programs and interviewed many well-known celebrities in the economic and technology industries in China.
Looking at the Tanglin Hi-Tech office in front of me, I can see that the decoration of the Tanglin Hi-Tech headquarters a few years ago was modern, quite eye-catching, and even a bit luxurious.
In recent years, the level of domestic office decoration has also improved. The decoration and supporting facilities at the Tanglin Hi-Tech headquarters are no longer so eye-catching.
Meng Liang had no idea that the office in front of him could earn six to seven billion US dollars in revenue in a year, setting a new record for the annual revenue of domestic private companies. In fact, among the most profitable technology companies in the country, not to mention private companies, even state-owned enterprises, few can compare with Donglin Hi-Tech. As for the ability to earn foreign exchange, it is even beyond comparison.
Even the executives of Dongling Hi-tech are interviewed from time to time. Hanxi Provincial Television even reported a comprehensive report on Dongling Hi-tech and its founder a few years ago, but The outside world is still quite curious about Dongling Hi-Tech, including Meng Liang himself.
“Reporter Meng, please come this way!”
Su Chicheng invited Meng Liang, the photographer and others into a conference room.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. Mr. Li is in a meeting. When the meeting is over, he will be interviewed by Central Media Finance!"
I heard that Li Dongling was in this conference room, accepting an interview with him. , Meng Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Right here?"
"Donngling Hi-tech...doesn't need to check the content of the interview with us, are there any special requirements?"
>This conference room is not shabby, but the people Meng Liang interviewed in the past, who had some reputation and achievements, were very serious when interviewed by the central media, and tried their best to show the best side of their company.
Before the interview, I communicated with the interview team and even gave the interview team huge red envelopes. I just didn’t want to damage my image during the interview. In addition, the content of the interview was strictly restricted and no sensitive issues were allowed.
When Meng Liang came this time, he was even prepared not to interview anything.
To be honest, with the current influence of Dongling Hi-tech, Meng Liang would not be able to ask Li Dongling questions that he did not want to answer. Even if he asked them, they would be edited later, and even the central media would have to give them. Tanglin Hi-tech, or in other words, should consider the jobs of the hundreds of thousands of people who rely on Tanglin Hi-tech, and also give face to the Economic and Trade Commission, the Foreign Exchange Department, Binh Duong City Hall, Han Tay City Hall and many other departments and units.
“Both Mr. Li and Tanglin Hi-Tech know what Reporter Meng is talking about this time!”
“There is only one requirement for Reporter Meng’s interview, and that is to tell the truth. Mr. Li will not I hope that the interview content that appears in the central media will be edited out of the way. This is the only request!”
After Meng Liang heard this, he couldn’t help but be silent for a moment. He wanted to interview some large-scale issues. But what Li Dongling gave him this time may be bigger than he imagined.
For the media that always likes to cause trouble, of course it wants to cause big things, but if the trouble is too big, it will not be able to handle it.
"I will convey Mr. Li's request to the main station!"
Meng Liang said, it is true that he is responsible for the interview, but the real decision is the content of the film. , it has to be the central media.
……
“Reporter Meng, right? I’ve kept you waiting for so long!”
Meng Liang and the interview team didn't wait long in the conference room when they saw a figure, walked into the conference room, and then warmly greeted Meng Liang and others and shook hands one by one.
Meng Liang felt like a spring breeze, not to mention the interview team, cameramen, lighting technicians and others, all had a strange feeling. You know, at this moment, Li Dongling is basically the richest man in the country. , and one of the twenty richest people in Asia!
People who have been interviewed in the past may have been a little polite to them, members of the interview team, but Li Dongling gave them the feeling that they were treated equally, which was completely different from being polite.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much for accepting the interview with our team. You must also know the purpose of the interview team's visit this time!"
Seeing Li Dongling nod, Meng Liang said to The photographer glanced at it and signaled the interview to begin, then asked directly, "At this moment, Shenzhou Storage, a subsidiary of Tanglin Hi-Tech, is in litigation with certain companies. I must be aware of this, right?"
This question is not only asking whether Li Dongling knew about the lawsuit, but also asking whether Li Dongling knew about it before Shenzhou Storage sued Lianxiang.
When Li Dongling was interviewed today, he never thought about blaming the blame or anything else. "Before Shenzhou Storage filed the lawsuit, general manager Xie Shining asked for instructions from Dongling Hi-Tech Headquarters, and I agreed to the lawsuit!"
Meng Liang was surprised. He didn't expect that the interview would be so exciting at the beginning. Li Dongling didn't even bother to pretend, and directly explained that he wanted to work for Lianxiang Company!
“There is a lot of public opinion about this lawsuit. Who is right and who is wrong between the prosecutor and the respondent needs to be judged by the law!
But there is a voice that thinks that Shenzhou Storage is Making a fuss out of a molehill. Shenzhou Storage, a domestic company, is hindering the development of domestic companies. For the patent of a product, a domestic brand that has finally become famous is destroyed, and it is very likely that the company that works for this company will be ruined. of people are out of work, is it worth it? ”
Meng Liang asked, this is also the most controversial area in public opinion at present. It is believed that Shenzhou Storage has gone too far and will kill a certain domestic brand for the sake of a "mere" patent. This puzzles many people.
“The earth will continue to turn regardless of who you leave it. Don’t think of yourself as too important!
No one can create an era. Only the era can achieve a certain company. Of course, this This sentence is also applicable to Dongling High-tech!"
Li Dongling smiled and spoke, but when he said the first sentence, Meng Liang clearly felt that there was a bit of disdain in Li Dongling's expression. It is obviously Li Dongling's true feelings about a certain company.
“The invention of a product and a patent is an accidental event, not an inevitable event. No one can guarantee that a certain product will be developed.
However, if a product that has been developed with great effort is misused by other companies without permission, will any company continue to invest huge amounts of money in research and development in the future?
If you indulge in cheating and plagiarism, you can get the first place in the exam as long as you copy each other. If things go on like this, who will be willing to study hard in a cold window? Is this fair to those who study hard in a cold window? "
Li Dongling said calmly. When Meng Liang heard this, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. At present, the country does not pay attention to patents and various knockoffs are rampant, but it does not mean that it really is. If you can put this matter on the surface and say that it is wrong to protect patents, it is impossible for a normal person and a country with a normal system to say this.
“But now the domestic technology is insufficient. There is also a serious shortage of R&D funds and insufficient technical personnel.
Technologies such as servers, chips, graphics cards, computer screens, etc. cannot be independently completed or manufactured in China. If domestic brand computers do not procure parts and components from overseas for assembly and suppress the domestic computer industry, they may be Completely occupied by overseas brands! ”
Meng Liang said, "Now is the era of globalization and internationalization, and the quality of parts and components purchased from overseas exceeds those at home, and the cost is lower than domestic ones!
Even Boeing needs to purchase parts from all over the world. Hundreds of countries purchase hundreds of thousands of parts, and Boeing cannot produce all the parts in-house!
In fact, domestic computer brands have always been developing technology, and the technical route of trade and industry technology is domestic production! The company first purchases parts and components from overseas, then makes money by selling the products, and then uses the money earned to develop its own technology and parts.
Of course, this process may be a bit slow, and not all companies can do it. With Donglin Hi-tech’s profits, we can invest so much money in product development!”
“This is of course an era of globalization, but will it continue forever?”
>
Li Dongling did not talk about whether it should be purchased from overseas, but directly asked a soul question.
Meng Liang suddenly heard this question and was a little confused for a moment. In the past few years, there has indeed been all kinds of overwhelming praise for globalization, but no one has mentioned whether it will end one day. In other words, no one dared to think about that problem.
“Probably not,” Meng Liang said with his scalp numb. “Globalization and the global village are things that America, Old Europe, Japan and other countries around the world are advocating. How could they give up halfway? ?"
Li Dongling looked at Meng Liang and smiled meaningfully, "I also hope that that day will never happen!"
"But if one day, the other party is not willing to sell. If I give you a certain product, even if I treat it as a dog, what will happen then?”
"Everyone who becomes an father starts out as a grandson, but who wants to be a grandson all the time?"
"Being behind doesn't necessarily mean you will be beaten. That's just because I don't want to beat you today!"
