Reborn since 1993

Chapter 160 Territory

Kawanishi Tsuyoshi said so confidently that he did not take Dongxin Semiconductor seriously, "We are developing a new generation of phone chips that are more powerful and support more functions. In the future, they will also support functions such as video phones.

As long as Toshiba's new generation chip is successfully developed, it can directly replace the Sirius chip. How could Donglin Hi-Tech reject our olive branch today? When the time comes, they will have to come over and beg for our cooperation! "

After hearing Go Kawanishi's words, the supervisor who came from the Toshiba headquarters office nodded with satisfaction, "I will convey your words to President Masaru Okamura. The semiconductor department must handle things as soon as possible. Don’t affect the stock price of Toshiba with the Ling Hi-Tech incident!”

Since being dealt with by America, Toshiba has been in a state of decline. Although it is still a giant company, it owns many industries such as home appliances, computers, semiconductors, power generation, and nuclear power plants. It is the representative of Japanese benzene manufacturing, and its shipments of TVs, laptops, etc. are all in the world. Ranked in the top ten.

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 Tanglin Hi-Tech refused to purchase Toshiba chips, which affected Toshiba's stock price.

After seeing off the headquarter manager, Kawanishi Gang's face suddenly turned ugly. Despite his solemn vow just now, it seemed as if he would lose the Dongling Hi-Tech order, which was of no importance.

But last year, Toshiba Semiconductor's revenue was around US$6.1 billion, and Tanglin Hi-Tech's purchase orders from Toshiba exceeded US$260 million, making it one of its major customers.

Kawanishi Gang saw the booming sales of digital cordless phones, so he kept raising the price of phone chips. Donglin Hi-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 Tsuyoshi Kawanishi didn't expect that Donglin Hi-Tech would dare to challenge Toshiba. The established Dongxin Semiconductor actually developed the Sirius chip 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!

When Su Bi Le came out of the conference room again, his face was full of exhaustion. He followed Su Bi Le back to the office step by step. It was Kailot, the head of the Siemens telephone department.

Siemens' digital cordless phone failed miserably in North America. This is no longer a secret at Siemens headquarters. After all, many European media have reported overwhelmingly. Europe is not a monolith. France, Germany, and England are all at each other's throats. If one side is in trouble, , likes from all directions...

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.

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 while, people are even more panicked.

Carrot is now full of gratitude to Subiluo. At the board meeting just now, Supiluo actually withstood the pressure of a group of Siemens directors and tried to ensure that he was retained and did not let him leave Siemens.

At this time, Tsuyoshi Kawanishi also had a sad face. 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 Okamura, otherwise he, the president of Toshiba Semiconductor, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my position immediately.

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.

While Toshiba Semiconductor is still trying to find ways to target Donglin Hi-Tech, on the other side, there are companies that are much more troublesome than Toshiba.

Even Carlott thought so. Siemens Telephone suffered another tragic comeback. When they were defeated in America, Carlott had already prepared his resignation letter. Who knew that Superior actually retained him, and for a while Carlott Some shed tears of gratitude.

The position of Siemens department manager is a high-paying position in Germany and Europe. The annual salary, bonus and dividends, etc., are more than hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you are lucky, you may get an annual salary of more than one million US dollars. , such a job is not that easy to find. If you can stay, who would want to get out...

Looking at Carlot who was diligently pouring water and making coffee for him, Subile sighed in his heart. How could he not know what abilities the guy in front of him had? His abilities were inferior to 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 has to keep them useful. Only in this way can we lead Siemens and find Dongling Hi-Tech to regain its 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 Phone."

"No need!"

When Subile heard this, he said directly, "Let him stop coming 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 to take over America's business, Thomas will leave.

When he thought that Thomas was going to be kicked out, Carlott couldn't help but feel a little sad. Thomas was capable, but he met Shenzhou who didn't follow the routine, and the result turned out to be a disastrous defeat. Let alone Thomas, who faced Shenzhou. With a fierce attack, the performance of any professional manager is estimated to be similar to Thomas, or maybe even worse.

But this kind of 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 are we going to do with the digital cordless phone department 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 revenue exceeding 10 million US dollars. But for Siemens, if it does not become the first in the industry, it has already failed.

But the work is done. Shenzhou has become the leader in digital cordless phones. Others, including 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 critical 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 was enough funds to support Siemens' entry. The mobile phone industry with the most potential.

In this way, Siemens can build a huge communications equipment empire, but now it's off to a bad start, disrupting all of Super's follow-up plans.

"Reduce advertising investment, retain the current engineers and R&D team, and no more R&D personnel will be added in the future!"

Subile said to Carlot that in his decision, he did not give up Siemens phones, but he would not increase investment anymore. He would sell as many machines as he could in the future. He was no longer prepared to compete with Shenzhou in this industry, or for the time being. I gave up.

When Carlot 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 eliminate them.

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 put on sale by the end of the year or next year at the latest!"

"Dongli Hi-Tech," Su Bi Le muttered to himself after putting down the phone. Originally, he was only a little wary of Tanglin Hi Tech. Now, he began to regard Tanglin Hi Tech as a real opponent. Su Bi Le felt that in the future, he would definitely There will also be a chance to compete with Tanglin Hi-Tech!

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, Donglin Hi-Tech has a niche in the technology industry. A piece of land of your own!
