Reborn since 1993

Chapter 590 Thunder on the Ground

With the shares of Bandai currently held by Dongling Hi-Tech, it is enough to initiate a board vote proposal for a new president in Bandai.

Considering Makoto Yamashina's current reputation in Bandai and the support he enjoys among investors, if Dongling Hi-Tech doesn't support him, then Makoto Yamashina will definitely have to pack up and leave!
"I see!"

Yamashina Makoto stood up and said, to use an old Chinese saying to describe it, at this moment, Yamashina Makoto's performance is that a man of insight is a hero.

Li Dongling nodded. To be honest, Li Dongling did not want to abandon Shan Kecheng easily. Since cooperating with Dongling Hi-Tech, Shan Kecheng has performed quite well.

In order to maintain the Yamashina family's management rights in Nippon Bandai, Makoto Yamashina was ruthless in taking advantage of Bandai. Even if you change another agent, he might not be able to use it as smoothly as Makoto Yamashina.

Anyway, the blame lies with Shan Ke Cheng. As long as Dongling Hi-Tech can get the dividends from Bandai, that's enough!

“As long as Pop Mart’s blind box and Pokémon projects can be promoted, I think the institutions that invested in Bandai and those users will definitely understand the good intentions of President Makoto Yamashina!
No matter what happens, Dongling Hi-Tech will always stand behind President Yamaki Makoto!"

Li Dongling comforted Shan Kecheng, saying that as long as he could be a good Japanese traitor, no, a Japan-Benzene friendly person, Dongling Hi-Tech would support him.

Upon hearing this, Shan Ke Cheng showed some emotion on his face. He had no doubt about this statement, as he and Dongling Hi-Tech were an alliance of interests.

His father, Naoharu Yamashina, and the people on Bandai's board of directors may not necessarily support Makoto Yamashina, but as long as he can still make money for Bandai for Dongling Hi-Tech, Dongling Hi-Tech will naturally support him!
Just like back then, during the Qing Empire period, why did so many foreigners support that woman named Yehenara so much? It was of course because the other party, in order to maintain their own power, did not even blink an eye when it came to paying compensation and ceding land to the foreigners.

"Mr. Li, I'm here this time for another thing besides the Pop Mart blind box and Pokémon projects. Bandai hopes that Dongling Hi-Tech can supply more Shenzhou electronic dictionaries!"

In addition to reporting the new project to the major shareholder, the most important purpose of Shan Kecheng's visit this time was to get more Shenzhou electronic dictionaries.

Bandai, together with Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company and Softbank, formed the agent of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary in Japan.

The Shenzhou electronic dictionary is now selling so well in Japan that getting one is like getting real money.

Since the launch of the Shenzhou electronic dictionary, Bandai's revenue and profits in the new quarter have soared. Bandai naturally wants to get more machines to sell in Japan!

And Shan Kecheng came to Dongling Hi-Tech this time to ask for goods, not only to sell more goods, but more importantly, to use this opportunity for publicity!
As long as the news of Bandai getting the goods from Dongling Hi-Tech gets out, Bandai's stock price will soar and Shan Kecheng will be under less pressure. These are all basic routines.

Li Dongling glanced at Shan Kecheng and could guess what he was thinking. He nodded and said, "Dongling Hi-Tech can provide Bandai with an order of 150,000 machines!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Makoto Yamashina quickly stood up and said that this order was enough for him to go back and explain to the investors who bought Bandai shares.

……

Ever since Ren Yuefeng, Chen Tao and others left Yuhe Leisure Resort, there have been frequent reports of big moves by Dongling Hi-Tech.

Dongling High-Tech Department directly selected top technical engineers to start building the Shenzhou computer R&D team.

Immediately afterwards, the Hanxi Joint Laboratory, Doxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics, etc., also began to allocate personnel to cooperate with Chen Tao.

Dongling Hi-Tech made quite a stir. A number of companies including Kingsoft, BOE, Xishanju Studio, Shenzhou Memory, and Doxin Semiconductor all took action at the same time, and soon the news spread. In other words, Dongling Hi-Tech originally had no intention of covering it up.

"Dongling Hi-Tech may enter the computer industry and is developing a new generation of computers!"

The sudden report by Computer News was like a bombshell in the domestic technology industry. As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.

“According to our newspaper, we have learned from various sources that Tanglin Hi-Tech is currently preparing a computer R&D team, and many of the country’s top computer designers and engineers have been invited by Tanglin Hi-Tech’s technical department.

In addition, according to rumors, many Dongling Hi-Tech companies, including Kingsoft and BOE, have received requests to cooperate with Dongling Hi-Tech in developing computer projects, and will set up special R&D teams to participate in Dongling Hi-Tech's computer projects! "

The report from Computer News made a number of computer industry brands speechless for a while. Although the news from Computer News has not been confirmed, all major domestic computer brands feel that a storm is about to come.

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. When it comes to the domestic technology industry, there will be almost no dispute about which company is the most famous right now. Basically, it must be Dongling Hi-Tech!
Dongling Hi-Tech is a "newcomer" in the computer industry and has not yet launched a computer. However, given Dongling Hi-Tech's past experience, who would dare to treat Dongling Hi-Tech as a rookie? This "newcomer" has not lost a single game since its debut. Which computer brand dares to claim that it can defeat this newcomer?

"Hanxi Oriental Optoelectronics Company announced that it will develop a new type of LCD display screen. Miao Guangxu, general manager of Oriental Optoelectronics, declared that LCD screens are the future of displays!"

The Huashang Daily, a local media in Hanxi, also suddenly reported the news, claiming that Oriental Optoelectronics will develop a new type of computer screen.

Shortly afterwards, the Hanxi Science and Technology News also published a report about Shenzhou storage.

"Shenzhou Memory has officially signed a patent exchange agreement with IBM. Shenzhou Memory will officially authorize the SD memory card patent to IBM, making the latter the second company in the world to be allowed to produce SD memory cards!

The patents between Shenzhou Storage, IBM and SD will continue the patents of Shenzhou USB flash drives. The latter shall not transfer or authorize SD patents to third parties. In addition, the SD products produced by IBM will also be mainly used for its own use. In addition to its own use, sales to other regions will also comply with the agreement with Shenzhou Storage!

IBM will transfer a memory stick production line to Shenzhou Storage, as well as the corresponding technology of 64M memory sticks..."

When the Hanxi Science and Technology News reported this news, the domestic technology industry was in an uproar. Everyone could see that Shenzhou Memory or Dongling Hi-Tech was fighting for their lives!

The SD memory card patent is now exclusively owned by Shenzhou Storage. It is visible to the naked eye that the SD card market is constantly soaring. As long as Shenzhou Storage does not authorize the patent to other companies, it can make money without doing anything.

However, Shenzhou Storage was able to obtain the SD patent and exchange the memory stick production line and technology from IBM. If this was not for the parent company's computer project, then what was it for!
Of course, it is hard to say who will win or lose in this patent technology exchange.

Just like the Shenzhou USB flash drive, it is difficult for Shenzhou Storage Company to monopolize the market by relying on the SD card patent, unless it wants to prevent the proliferation of pirated and counterfeit products.

The best way is to license the SD card patent to several giants, just like when the USB flash drive alliance was formed, to control the global SD card market.

But this time, Shenzhou Storage chose some other conditions, which is to exchange SD patents for memory stick technology.

We obtained 64M memory stick technology from IBM. Although it is not as advanced as Samsung's 256M memory stick technology, Samsung's technology is only laboratory data.

Currently in the global computer industry, 64M and 128M memory sticks are still popular. 256M memory sticks have not yet been mass-produced. For Dongling Hi-Tech, 64M memory sticks are sufficient for the time being.

Shenzhou Storage obtained this production line and 128M memory stick technology from IBM, which saved it ten years of hard work and avoided a lot of detours. From then on, it entered the first-tier lineup of global memory stick manufacturers.

As for whether IBM suffered a loss, from IBM's perspective, the picture may be different.

Does IBM feel like it is losing out by exchanging a memory stick project that seems endless and like an arms race for the SD memory card market that has just begun to be explored? It is actually making a huge profit!
Memory sticks are too expensive, and IBM has long wanted to give up the game. Ever since Samsung from South Korea started a memory stick arms race like crazy, this industry has been a bloodbath.

Today, there are only three major camps left in the global memory stick market: the Korean camp consisting of Samsung, SK, and Hynix, the Japanese camp consisting of Hitachi, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba, and the American and old European camp consisting of IBM, Motorola, and Infineon.

But now, due to the huge investment, the memory sticks are in great demand and the prices have been driven down to rock-bottom prices. Except for Samsung's counter-cyclical expansion of memory stick production capacity and research and development of memory sticks with larger memory, the memory stick camps of Japan and America can no longer afford to play.

In other words, IBM really doesn't want to wrestle in the quagmire with Samsung. What the hell is the point? It doesn't make any money but still keeps competing. IBM doesn't want to play anymore.

After Shenzhou Memory made its request, IBM agreed to the patent exchange without a second thought.

When the Huashang Daily and Hanxi Science and Technology News reported successively that Oriental Optoelectronics was developing LCD screens and Shenzhou Storage was buying a memory stick production line, everything showed that Dongling Hi-Tech was about to enter the computer industry!
On that day, various domestic media, including Yangcheng Evening News, Chutian Weekend, Yanjing Youth Daily, Yanjing Business Daily, Yangtze Evening News, Chengdu Business Daily and other media, all began to report extensively on the news of Dongling Hi-Tech's entry into the computer industry.

Thanks to Dongling Hi-Tech's previous reputation, this time it seems quite powerful, although there are also different voices, for example, Napoleon will also suffer a Waterloo, who says that Dongling Hi-Tech will definitely be able to adapt to the computer industry, what if it makes a big mistake?

There are also some voices saying that Dongling Hi-Tech is obviously planning to develop computers with domestic components. Admittedly, the intention is good, but there is a huge gap between domestic computer components and those of overseas established companies. Can the performance of computers using domestic components be reliable?

But no matter whether it was praise or doubt, when the news came out, the share prices of domestic computer brands, led by Lenovo, plummeted that day. It was obvious that investors were voting with their feet.

A number of domestic computer brands, including Great Wall, Tongfang, Inspur, Guohe, and Shida, are all somewhat worried. They don’t know what the domestic computer industry landscape will become after Dongling Hi-Tech’s entry.

When another company saw the media reports that seemed to indicate that its brand was doomed to fail and its stock price plummeted, Boss Liu became furious!
"How can one predict the outcome before the battle even begins?!" Boss Liu angrily slammed the table in the office.
