Chapter 281 The third bowl of rice
"I will never let Mr. Li down!"

Tang Qinliang clenched his fists and said seriously to Li Dongling in a hoarse voice, "A scholar will die for his confidant." At this moment, Tang Qinliang felt this feeling from Li Dongling.

Without the STN color screen, Tang Qinliang would feel sorry for Li Dongling's expectations and high hopes for him, and he would probably have regrets in his career.

Li Dongling nodded, "Tang Gong, don't worry about the funds for the STN project. As long as you can develop a color screen, Oriental Optoelectronics will give you and the entire R&D team the rewards they deserve. Oriental Optoelectronics will not treat anyone badly. Those who have contributed to Oriental Optoelectronics will never forget all this!”

When Tang Qinliang heard this, he and several of the main technicians from the STN laboratory around him showed excited expressions on their faces.

They knew that Li Dongling's words were not empty talk. Previously, after the PHS phone equipped with Oriental Optoelectronics' STN mobile phone screen was released, Tang Qinliang and the others received a very generous reward. That bonus was almost more than the panel he was in before. In a research and development unit, the total salary of four to five hundred per month in sixty years is more!
Why Tang Qinliang was so excited just now is not only unwilling to have his career interrupted, but also related to Dongfang Optoelectronics' salary, benefits, benefits, etc. After tasting the sweetness, who would still want to live a hard life.

Wang Dongsheng looked at Tang Qinliang with excitement on his face. He had seen with his own eyes Li Dongling's ability to cook chicken soup. Compared with the kind of mobilization meeting he held at BOE before, the chicken soup cooked by Li Dongling had obvious effects. It needs to be much better and has more stamina!
Li Dongling stayed in the STN laboratory for a long time, listening to Tang Qinliang introduce all the laboratory projects, including the research and development ideas of STN color screen, etc., then he got up and left.

Until he left the STN laboratory, Wang Dongsheng could feel that Tang Qinliang and a group of technicians were excited and full of fighting spirit, as if they wanted to stay up late and work overtime to start developing STN color screen technology.

"Mr. Li is really good at it!"

Wang Dongsheng said to Li Dongling with some emotion, everyone can use this method of poisonous chicken soup plus gold and yuan offensive, but there are a few people who can use it well, most of them don't want to eat meat, and they want to be wolfish. Culture, if you can't provide the salaries of Chrysanthemum Factory and Fat Dong Lai, and you still have to let employees take care of the company and provide customers with god-like service, isn't that nonsense!

Li Dongling shook his head and looked back at the STN laboratory behind him, "I didn't lie to Tang Qinliang or anything. Oriental Optoelectronics really needs the STN laboratory. You can't be full when you eat the third bowl of rice, and you won't remember the first two bowls. Credit goes!”

"TFT LCD panels may be the future of panel screens, but we must not forget what Tang Qinliang, STN Laboratory, and all STN practitioners have done for Oriental Optoelectronics. It is STN Laboratory that supports Oriental Optoelectronics today!"

In the future, STN screens will indeed be inferior to TFT LCD panels, but now, Oriental Optoelectronics relies on them to survive, and this may even be the case within the next ten years.

Panels, like chips, are both very expensive industries. With the STN panel business, Dongfang Optoelectronics can rely on PHS mobile phones, Shenzhou digital cordless phones, Feiyan radios, as well as car instruments, air-conditioning displays, electronic watches, etc. Supply various instruments and meters to earn profits.

When the STN color screen is developed, it can also be supplied to various electronic home appliances such as mobile phones, computers, TVs, game consoles, etc. There will be no problem in ten years of glory.

In the next ten years, Dongfang Optoelectronics will probably rely on its STN panel business for most of its revenue. Precisely because Dongfang Optoelectronics has STN business to make money, Li Dongling will not need to spend so much money. Otherwise, refer to the previous life BOE is almost like a bottomless pit, only throwing money away without laying eggs, and has been on the verge of bankruptcy several times.

Wang Dongsheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded. He knew that his thoughts were all on the TFT LCD panel, so much so that he somewhat ignored the current STN panel.

Not only Oriental Optoelectronics, but BOE actually needs the business brought by STN panels. BOE is the company that built the factory and put it into production. The cost of building the factory is much greater than that of Oriental Optoelectronics!
When I left the STN laboratory and arrived at the newly established TFT LCD panel laboratory, there was a large group of people busy, and I could hear a few Japanese voices from time to time.

Li Dongling looked at the Japanese-speaking staff, and when he saw Li Dongling's gaze, someone from the crowd said to Li Dongling, "Director Li, those are the technical consultants transferred from the Japanese Benzene Laboratory! "

The speaker is Miao Xuguang. Compared to Tang Qinliang, he is obviously a bit younger, but he is already the best TFT LCD panel technician that Oriental Optoelectronics can find.

After all, TFT LCD panels have only emerged in the past few years. Most panel practitioners are still using STN panels and have not yet transformed. To be honest, the technicians who developed TFT panels in the past few years are betting their careers. , after all, if TFT panels do not become the mainstream of screen panels, it means that their efforts in the past few years have basically been in vain, and half of their entire careers have been wasted.

The R&D industry sounds high-end, but in fact, it is a big gamble for both investment institutions and practitioners. If you win the gamble, everyone will make a lot of money, gain both fame and fortune, and after you become successful, you will be told in the media. Enjoy the flowers and applause of your own hardships and achievements.

But if R&D fails, it will not be remembered at all. No one will remember it, whether it is practitioners or investment institutions. Losers will not be remembered in history books. They belong to Patent for successful people!

Miao Xuguang studied abroad in Nippon Benz, and later joined Nippon Hyundai's panel company. He was recently poached back by Oriental Optoelectronics. "Currently, Oriental Optoelectronics' TFT LCD panel department has three laboratories, one in Hansi Nishihara Provincial City, Nippon Tokyo and Bangkok Seoul. They are used for tracking and research and development of the latest TFT panel trends and technologies. Nippon Tokyo's laboratory , mainly recruit employees from Sharp, Hyundai and other companies, while Bangzi’s laboratory mainly recruits technical talents from Samsung, Hyundai, LG and other panel companies!”

"These are the technical consultants transferred from Oriental Optoelectronics' Japan Benzene Laboratory to assist the headquarters in developing and building the first-generation TFT production line!"

Miao Xuguang pointed to the several Japanese benzene technical consultants who looked quite arrogant and said to Li Dongling. He and Wang Dongsheng were obviously used to the attitude of those Japanese benzene consultants.

Those Japanese technical consultants are all equipped with special translators and assistants. They know the salary and benefits without asking, but this is basically the norm for foreign technical personnel coming to China.

Li Dongling looked at this scene, his eyes lingered for a moment, but he did not speak. Dongfang Optoelectronics said that it was setting up laboratories in Japan, Bangzi, but in fact, it was poaching people, staring at the panels of Sharp, Samsung, LG, Hyundai, etc. If people from the company are willing to change jobs, Dongfang Optoelectronics will offer them a salary that is 15%, or even 20% or 30% higher than what they received at their old employer.

There is no way. The technicians with the best panel technology now are in Nippon and Bangzi. Apart from these two sides, if you want to poach panel technicians and obtain panel technology, there is no other way!

At present, these Japanese benzene technical consultants have an arrogant attitude, but Dongfang Optoelectronics really needs them. Without them, Dongfang Optoelectronics would have to fumble by itself, not to mention that it would not be fully developed, and it would take at least three to five years of detours, or even more.

Li Dongling withdrew his gaze and said to Miao Xuguang, "Give these Japanese consultants a higher salary, assign more assistants to them, and find people with flexible minds and quick learners to serve as their assistants. We must do it as quickly as possible." Speed, learn the skills of these Japanese consultants, and don’t let them get tired at Oriental Optoelectronics!”

Miao Xuguang was surprised for a moment, and then he understood what Li Dongling meant. It was obvious that he wanted to steal his teacher. If one of them couldn't learn, then he would assign more apprentices and assistants to these Japanese consultants and give them high salaries. Don't believe it. Nothing good can be found.

"What is the current stage of preparation for the TFT LCD panel production line?" Wang Dongsheng asked the question he was most concerned about.

Miao Xuguang and Li Dongling walked into a conference room. There was a lot of information on the table. Miao Xuguang sorted out his thoughts and said, "At present, the R&D personnel have been recruited. We originally planned to work with Japan Benzene or LCD panel manufacturers from Bangzi are working together to develop third-generation TFT production lines!”

"but……"

Miao Xuguang said with helplessness, "Sharp directly rejected Dongfang Optoelectronics' cooperation. LG's bid was too high. The licensing of optical technology costs hundreds of millions of dollars, not including subsequent research and development expenses."

"On the Bangzi side, there is some intention of cooperation, but the conditions are quite high, and they have been delaying. If you count on the Bangzi side, I don't know when it will be until Dongfang Optoelectronics' TFT LCD panel production line. It can be built!”

"So, the TFT LCD department of Oriental Optoelectronics is currently preparing to develop its own first-generation TFT LCD panel production line. This is the only way to go!"

Sharp has already started to build a third-generation TFT LCD panel production line. Samsung has also established a firm foothold in the second-generation LCD panel. Oriental Times has only begun the research and development of the first-generation TFT LCD panel, which is almost as fast as Sharp. There is a gap of three generations of technology.

Hearing Miao Xuguang's words, Wang Dongsheng's face became uncertain. Developing TFT LCD panels from scratch is easy to say, but not easy to do. It is like building a high-rise building from scratch. I'm afraid it's very difficult. Only those who do it know how difficult it is and how high the price is.

Miao Xuguang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Dongling's expression was normal. If both major shareholders had objections to his plan, then he, the chief engineer of Dongfang Optoelectronics' TFT project, would not have to work.

"Chief Engineer Miao, if we develop it ourselves, when will Oriental Times' first-generation TFT LCD panel production line be developed?!" Li Dongling closed the document in his hand and asked Miao Xuguang.

"Before the end of next year!"

Miao Xuguang almost gritted his teeth and said, "Oriental Optoelectronics has now recruited a lot of TFT panel technicians from Sharp, Hyundai, and LG to directly develop the latest third-generation LCD panels. It may be unrealistic, but it was developed by Sharp four years ago. The first-generation LCD panel technology is guaranteed!”
