Reborn since 1993

Chapter 280 One white mask covers all ugliness
Since the cooperation between BOE and Donglin Hi-Tech, Donglin Hi-Tech's products have basically been handed over to Dongfang Optoelectronics to handle the orders.

However, Dongfang Optoelectronics mainly focuses on R&D technology and has few production lines. Most of the orders are actually subcontracted to BOE. As a link in the Donglin Hi-Tech parts industry chain, BOE’s revenue is expected to be It’s hard not to explode.

Mentioning this, Wang Dongsheng couldn't help but have a smile on his face, "Thanks to the support of Donglin Hi-Tech, BOE's performance this year is pretty good!"

Looking at Wang Dongsheng's expression, Li Dongling knew that Wang Dongsheng was probably being humble, and BOE's performance might have more than doubled.

"If the LCD panel production line can be successfully developed this time, BOE will issue B shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to raise funds for BOE's LCD panel business!"

Wang Dongsheng had obviously already planned the next step. After Li Dongling heard this, he looked at the leek-cutting king with a strange look next to him.

Among the domestic listed companies, there are many small experts who are cutting leeks and burning money. But if you want to say that the ones that burn the most money, then BOE must be on the list.

Twenty years after it was listed, the dividends paid out were less than 10 billion, and the shares issued through financing exceeded 100 billion. This is just from the stock market. The subsidies and investments received from other places, combined, definitely exceeded the amount obtained through financing. money

BOE can develop and compete with Sharp, and it is absolutely inseparable from the support of big A investors. But without BOE, domestic LCD TVs, LCD computer screens, mobile phone screens, MP3 screens and other LCD screens would be useless. Go ahead and dream about the products at a very low price. What is right and what is wrong can only be evaluated by future generations.

Take a look at the prices of LCD and plasma TVs currently being developed by Sharp and Panasonic. The price of a plasma TV exceeds 80,000 yuan, which is equivalent to half a house in Yanjing!

Sharp's LCD TVs are a little cheaper, but only a little, and the price exceeds 20,000 yuan. As for those who complain about the technical level of BOE and domestic panel manufacturers, they cannot speak out of conscience. BOE may be sorry for A-share investors. But it is definitely suitable for domestic consumers.

If you use Sharp and Panasonic panels for one-third or even one-fifth of the price, you can buy 80% or 90% of their products with about % or % performance. What kind of bicycles do you want? If you don’t talk about price at this time, isn’t that a hooligan? Why? You can't ask for it. Let Sharp and Panasonic supply domestic LCD panels at cabbage prices to see if the other party will have a duel between samurai!
Of course, it is not very accurate to say that Lao Wang uses BOE to cut the leeks of domestic investors. What the hell, he also cuts foreign leeks, and the first one to cut is the foreign leeks, which can no longer be cut. , he just cut it, no, he was seeking help from domestic investors.

BOE's first listed B shares were issued on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. What are B shares? They are stocks that can only be purchased with foreign exchange such as Hong Kong dollars and US dollars. To put it bluntly, it allows overseas investors to buy BOE's B shares.

As for whether those overseas institutions that first invested in BOE made any money, only the devil knows. Anyway, BOE has been crying about poverty every day for decades and has never had a day of prosperity!
Wang Dongsheng saw Li Dongling's strange look and couldn't help but touch his body. He didn't know why Li Dongling had such a look.

After entering Dongfang Optoelectronics, they did not immediately enter the TFT LCD panel laboratory. Instead, Li Dongling and Wang Dongsheng came to another laboratory.

After putting on the dustproof clothes, he walked into the constant temperature laboratory. Here, Wang Dongsheng was obviously more familiar with the road than Li Dongling. To be honest, he came here much more times than Li Dongling came here.

"Director Li, Director Wang!"

As soon as they entered, Tang Qinliang, the director of the STN panel laboratory, immediately walked up and called to Li Dongling and the other two.

Li Dongling was appointed as a director at Dongfang Optoelectronics, but in fact, Dongfang Optoelectronics was jointly managed by Wang Dongsheng, professional managers and technical experts in the panel industry, while Li Dongling was mainly responsible for finance.

Wang Dongsheng and Tang Qinliang are both industry insiders, and they must have much more experience in the panel industry than Li Dongling. Li Dongling has always believed that it would be an absolute disaster for outsiders to manage insiders.

However, although Li Dongling is not very good at panel technology, he is clear about the direction of future panel research and development. After all, there are only two or three players left in later generations of panels. Mainland China, Bangzi Samsung, Baodao, and Nippon Sharp, which is badly damaged, and most of the other American and European panel manufacturers have been sucked to death.

"This STN panel laboratory is one of the top STN laboratories in China, and there are many abroad. Currently, there is also an experimental STN panel production line in the Oriental Optoelectronics Production Center, which is currently supplied to PHS Most of the screens for mobile phones and Shenzhou digital cordless phones are manufactured by BOE’s STN production line!”

Tang Qinliang told Li Dongling, the major shareholder who holds 65% of Dongfang Optoelectronics, about the status of Dongfang Optoelectronics' STN panels.

Li Dongling could hear Tang Qinliang's unambiguous expression from his words. After thinking about it, he understood what was going on. He must have known that Oriental Optoelectronics was going to launch a TFT LCD panel project, but as a giant in the STN panel industry, Tang Qinliang, who had been in the industry for more than ten years, how could he be willing to be replaced by others.

Tang Qinliang is indeed a little unwilling. To be honest, Tang Qinliang has had the best life in these years since he joined Dongfang Optoelectronics. This refers to his career. Dongfang Optoelectronics’ salary is the same as that of Dongling Hi-Tech, and much higher than Domestic LCD panel companies such as Huaqing also make STN panels.

In addition to salary, Dongfang Optoelectronics has much more R&D funds. Li Dongling and Wang Dongsheng both spent a lot of R&D funds on Dongfang Optoelectronics. To be honest, Tang Qinliang has never done anything since entering the domestic panel industry. Such a rich battle!

But now, just a few days after the good times, the STN panel, which has been popular for less than ten years, has been stolen by the TFT LCD panel. How could Tang Qinliang be willing to accept it?

"Director Li, STN panels are by no means obsolete. Even if TFT LCD panels can be mass-produced one day, it will take at least five or six years, or even more than ten years, to reach the point where the cost of LCD panels can reach maturity. reduce!

During this period, it all belongs to the STN panel market. As long as an STN color screen can be developed, I think there is a chance! "

Li Dongling came here only a few times. Tang Qinliang knew that he had to seize the opportunity and convince Li Dongling. Otherwise, once the STN panel became a department within Dongfang Optoelectronics that his grandma did not love and his uncle did not love, his hard work would be destroyed. Once.

When Li Dongling heard Tang Qinliang's words, he did not immediately agree or reject it, but asked him, "STN's color screen project has been launched and research and development has begun?!"

In fact, STN and TFT both belong to the ranks of LCD liquid crystal panels, but the technologies are different. In addition to these two technologies, there are also several technologies such as TFD, UFB, OLED, AMOLED, GF, and CG. Nowadays, there is a rush to develop FTF LCD panels because Japanese benzene manufacturers are playing with it.

In the global LCD panel industry, Japan and Sharp are the industry leaders. Whatever direction it researches, other companies will follow its research and development. Of course, they may not follow. Then the cost of trial and error is too high. If you follow Sharp, you may still be able to make mistakes. Sharp has been the first to deal with any thunderstorms it encounters. Although latecomers will be suppressed by Sharp with patents and technology, the risk is indeed much smaller.

Nowadays, PHS mobile phones use STN screens developed by Oriental Optoelectronics and OEMed by BOE. Just now, Li Dongling said that BOE’s revenue is high, and that’s what he said. The orders from PHS will definitely make BOE full.

In the past many years, BOE was just doing OEM work for Panasonic and just drinking soup. Now with Tanglin Hi-Tech, what we are really eating is meat!

The STN screen on PHS is a black and white screen. Not only PHS, but also the world has not yet seen the first color screen mobile phone. Donglin Hi-Tech is moving in this direction. When the next generation mobile phone with the Shenzhou banner appears, it will definitely be It needs a color screen!

The advantages and disadvantages of STN screens are obvious. The advantage is that the technology is relatively mature, the cost is low, the price is naturally cheap, and the power consumption is small and energy-saving. However, the disadvantages are equally obvious. Slow response, screen freezes, and screen distortion are common. In addition, brightness, clarity The degree is also hard to describe.

This is only the era of black and white screens. The so-called whiteness covers all ugliness, and the same applies to mobile phones. When using black and white screens, there are no pixel and chroma problems, and you can’t see anything. But in the era of STN color screens, compare it with TFT You can almost spot the difference in the panel screen at a glance.

But regardless of the shortcomings or advantages, they will all be compared in the future. As for now, some screens are good for use. What kind of bicycle do you dare to choose? If Oriental Optoelectronics does not develop STN screens, it will have to purchase them from Japan. By then, This is not the amount of money spent, it is really a big deal.

Anyway, the old routine abroad is that when domestic production cannot be produced, they are high-tech products and they have to be sold at a high price. When domestic production is produced, they become cabbage prices in an instant. This has always been the case and has never changed.

"It is currently under research and development. I believe that Oriental Optoelectronics' STN color screen project is not much worse than the STN color screen research and development speed of overseas companies, or even ahead!"

After hearing what Li Dongling said, Tang Qinliang cheered up and said that he needed the support of Li Dongling, the major shareholder of Dongfang Optoelectronics.

Looking at Tang Qinliang, Li Dongling said, "Oriental Optoelectronics will not stop the research and development of the STN panel project, and will even increase investment. I hope that the world's first STN mobile phone color screen developed by Oriental Optoelectronics will appear on Shenzhou mobile phones in the future! "

Hearing these words, which were like a great responsibility sent from heaven, Tang Qinliang shuddered, and a feeling suddenly rose in his heart that the heavy responsibility of developing STN panels in the future would fall on his shoulders.
