Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.
Chapter 494 Facing the Challenges of Daily Life
When Xiao Rizi's new display technology began to be mass-produced in the television industry, it eventually gained a lot of advantages.
Xiao Rizi did not waste this opportunity, they formed an internal division of labor, and after starting large-scale shipments, they stirred up the original TV market of Liang Jian World. The TV market, which was originally dominated by three major forces, namely Dongda, North America, and Europe, has now become a battle among many players, and the four major players, Dongda, North America, Europe and Xiao Rizi, have started to fight each other.
The technologies of the first three markets have the same origin. More than a dozen TV production companies all use the source technology from Dongda. Originally, everyone was fighting back and forth, because both domestic and international competitors had their tricks up their sleeves. They were killing each other in their own regions and only dabbled in the rival markets, with no intention of fighting to the death.
Because among these TV manufacturers, the largest and strongest one is still the hidden player in the Dongda Hidden Dragon Plan.
Therefore, even though the TV industry of Dongda is leading in technology, or even superior, it has no intention of ruthlessly cleaning up the market and allowing Dongda TV to dominate the market. Instead, it has tacitly developed in its respective region.
This strategy also led the major powers to mistakenly believe that the manufacturers in their respective regions were at the world's leading level in the TV industry, and everyone was competing with each other to continuously iterate new products.
However, after Xiaorizi's TV picture tube technology caught up, the TV industry lost its former momentum. Xiaorizi was not so polite as to just develop in its own country. Instead, it pounced on every market like a wolf, attempting to rely on the advantage of the screen and carry out large-scale brand promotion in order to occupy the commanding heights of TV technology and gain a brand impression.
On the other hand, Xiao Rizi also understands brand segmentation. They divide the domestic product lines into low-end and high-end to enter the market, increase market share through low-price dumping, and make profits through high-end products. Nisso, Li Ri and Xia Song quickly formed an alliance and carried out technical and market cooperation. Some of them target the low-end, some target the high-end, and they complement each other in the international market.
The group combat strategy of Xiao Ri Zao was put into practice.
Of course, this strategy has no effect on Dongda. Dongda's TV industry has always been a mass-market industry. With Ren Zhong's promotion, it is now beginning to popularize its products in the domestic market. Therefore, the price of Dongda's TVs is actually at a low point in the world. Some distributors in third countries even come to Dongda to buy affordable TVs for domestic sales.
These televisions sold in Dongda's domestic market have certain sales subsidies. They have taken away a portion of these discounted products through certain channels. For Dongda in China, it will lose some TV users. However, this kind of exported product has suddenly increased Dongda's export price advantage, which is in disguised form the low-price dumping of Dongda's products.
This price is even lower than Xiaorizi's low-end products, so Xiaorizi's attempt to enter Dongda's low-end market is simply impossible.
As for the high-end market, the sense of national pride in the country is getting stronger and stronger, and the preference for domestic products has almost reached its peak in history. Not to mention the existence of domestic alternative products, even if there are no alternative products, the country has a natural resistance to products for daily life.
Therefore, even though Xiao Ri’s televisions are now superior in terms of display effects, they have not opened up the two domestic markets of Dongda.
However, in the European and North American markets, the strategy of living a leisurely life is still effective.
The two major TV giants, Vision and Goldenstar, have lost some market share to them.
For a while, slogans of "wolf" were shouted in both areas.
"We will no longer invest too many resources in competing for the low-end market," said Vision's vice president of sales, who is also troubled by the current situation but has not panicked.
"We need to make full use of our advantages in personal computers and integrate personal computer hosts with TV monitors more conveniently. Even in our computer research, we need to consider the output display to perfectly fit our TVs. We need to enhance the competitiveness of our TVs in terms of versatility, and even consider the incompatibility of our computer hosts with other brands of TVs."
"That won't work. We can choose not to develop compatibility with other brands of TVs, but we can't set conditions on computers to make them incompatible with other brands. We'll be sued for abusing our market position to monopolize." Someone stepped forward and categorically denied the vice president of sales' outrageous move.
"I heard that the display manufacturer of Dongda University is now researching a new display technology. I suggest that we work closely with the display manufacturer of Dongda University and jointly research a new display to offset or even form a new advantage in the display field." This person finally came up with a reliable idea.
"Yes, we must be bold in investing in technology. We don't have enough time to develop cathode ray tube technology on our own, so we can combine our technical research with that of Dongda University to achieve a powerful alliance. Now facing the threat of a small life, we can take bigger steps and work with Dongda's cathode ray tube manufacturers to build factories and conduct research." Ma Zhiyuan saw that the topic was on the right track.
Finally, we can legitimately propose comprehensive cooperation with Todai.
He now holds absolute voting rights for corporate control and according to voting rules he should have the final say, but he has to consider staying in the North American market for a long time.
Ma Zhiyuan hardly took the initiative to propose a project for cooperation with Southeast University.
All of this forced the people below to cooperate with Tokyo University, and they took the initiative to propose these projects and then went with the flow.
In this way, Ma Zhiyuan's personality will not be subverted.
Vision is developing smoothly now. Even though Xiaorizi is currently feeling uncomfortable, as long as it cooperates with the technology of the University of Tokyo, it will soon surpass Xiaorizi again in terms of technology.
Ma Zhiyuan knew that Dongda was conducting research on new display technology. It would not be long before the birth of new CRT display technology based on flat rectangular technology would destroy the hard-earned cathode ray tube technology advantage of Nisso.
At the same time, in terms of image technology, Dongda has already prepared to transition from VCD pixels to DVD pixels.
New DVD decoding integrated circuit chips are already being designed, and DVD technical specifications have long been achieved.
Once new display technology is developed that can carry the details of DVD display technology, future TV program sources will be quickly updated to the new generation of technology, greatly upgrading TV technology.
With this technological update, almost all patented technology copyrights will fall to Dongda. As a result, Xiaori will either have to pay patent fees to follow up, or they will spend a high price to purchase Dongda's DVD module.
Otherwise, they will be eliminated and lose their high-end products in the international TV market, because when selling in the international market, they will have to comply with the jurisdiction of international patents and cannot copy DVDs and sell them internationally.
At most, they are sold in their own country.
After the new generation of TV technology standards are set, almost all the core technologies of the standards will be in the hands of Dongda. International giants such as Vision and Goldenstar will respond to this standard and join in the standard to form a new standard for world TV. In this way, they can legitimately provide blood transfusions to Dongda in the name of patents and transfer some of the profits of the two companies back to China.
This layout has been in progress for so many years, and now it is time to harvest.
Paying patent fees does not affect the monopoly sales of these two giants in their respective markets. Their market share has reached a monopoly effect of more than 50% locally.
For capital, such companies are good companies to pursue.
Vision and GoldenStar are both very successful in their respective domestic stock markets precisely because of their dominant sales positions in their respective regional markets.
Now, coupled with the rapidly expanding personal computer market, the prospects of these two companies remain bright, and each occupies a leading position in the stock market.
Through technical cooperation with Dongda, the two companies will gain control of the upstream supply chain resources of personal computers and televisions, and then form product brands to occupy the local market. This development model is indeed the necessary development path for companies like them.
Even in these two companies, where local elites are chosen to manage the senior management, they cannot escape the trade, industry and technology path. Even without the guidance of the founders, they have almost no other choice. The only option is to cooperate with Dongda's upstream supply chain-related companies to offset the technological advantages of their competitors.
This is basically the same situation as most of the Dongda mobile phone companies and computer companies in the main world.
Although they have also invested in the research of some special technologies, without Ren Zhong's guidance in this regard, who can clearly tell the major development trends in the future?
In the field of high-tech development, one wrong step often leads to all the wrong steps.
Ren Zhong never expected that with the help of Xiao Rizi's market pressure, Dongda achieved the first large-scale technical cooperation between Anzi and local companies in the TV industry.
Hundreds of millions of US dollars in resources were injected into the research of cathode ray tube technology and new imaging standards at the University of Tokyo through normal channels.
After huge capital investment, the research team of Todai and the technical team from the West merged for the first time.
Even in terms of research dominance, the core patents are firmly controlled by the University of Tokyo.
However, in terms of application, Tokyo University has also shown a certain sincerity this time. Three large TV companies will invest resources to break through the technical barriers of flat rectangular display technology, and then share the application expansion of this technology with each other.
Tokyo University began to invest its own resources on a large scale in the research of liquid crystal display technology.
When flat-panel right-angle displays were at their peak, manufacturers who followed the development of CRT technology probably never dreamed that after they had learned and mastered the flat-panel right-angle display technology, Dongda's LCD display technology would be about to be launched on the market.
Such epoch-making technological iteration will make the followers despair!
Now it's not just televisions. In the steel industry, after more than a decade of development, Xiaorizi has integrated domestic steel to form several large groups. Relying on domestic ruins construction and the support of Rogue Eagle Dad, the current steel production capacity has reached 3000 million tons.
This technology was first developed in Dongda's oxygen top-blown converter. After more than ten years of development, now basically all newly built blast furnaces in the world have begun to adopt this technology.
Because the technical advantages of the oxygen top-blown converter are so obvious, its construction and production costs are both low: the construction cost is only 50%-70% of that of a flat-type furnace of the same capacity, and the production cost is only 20%-40% of that of a flat-type furnace.
Xiaorizi built 23 oxygen top-blown converters in one go, including 1000 blast furnaces with a height of more than 11 m, with the largest volume of 1657 m. Xiaorizi's total investment reached US$17.4 billion, which was a huge investment!
On the one hand, these production capacities are used to carry out domestic reconstruction, and on the other hand, they are desperately trying to restore its shipbuilding industry. At the same time, they have also begun to export in large quantities. After all, they don’t have anything to show for their current lives.
Under the suppression of the giant Todai, Xiaozizi, a small group of electronic products, has been basically completely crushed by Todai and lives under the shadow of Todai's electronic industry. Now it is unable to form a scale, even though Xiaozizi chaebols have integrated the domestic electronic industry into several monopolistic enterprises and tried their best to produce flagship manufacturers in the electronic industry.
However, the electronics industry of Dongda University seems to be cheating, and has been suppressing the television industry that Xiaori's electronics industry wants to break through.
We have finally found an opportunity thanks to a breakthrough in imaging technology.
As for steel, Xiao Rizi's alloy steel research lags far behind that of Dongda University, and can only take the low-end volume route. Relying on their gritted teeth and low-price sales to Rogue Eagle Dad and some allies in the Asian server, Xiao Rizi's steel has also found a certain international market.
In terms of the development of the international market, their daily life is more than ten times more difficult than the rise of their main world in history.
Judging from the development over the past ten years, the daily life is completely on a different level compared to the development of the original main world and time and space.
The industries that Xiao Rizi used to take off in the main world are now directly blocked by Dongda, whether it is the steel industry, the electronics industry, or the automobile industry. Now that Dongda has started to take off, Xiao Rizi is still struggling.
What makes them even more desperate is that the development of these industries of Dongda is accelerating. Whether in terms of scale or technology, Dongda has comprehensive suppression and has formed a leading advantage in the world of Liangjian.
The existence of the Dawn Research Institute has now become an unavoidable wonder in the world of Bright Sword. Many countries are comprehensively studying the development history of the Dawn Research Institute and its management mechanism, but no matter what, they cannot figure out why this research institute has such a strong cutting-edge technology research and development capability.
Not to mention top-secret things like rockets, nuclear power, and nuclear bombs, just at the level of applied science, the Dawn Research Institute alone is equivalent to the combined scientific research capabilities of several major countries in the world, or even stronger!
This is totally unscientific. Even though the whole world is making unremitting efforts to conduct research and send spies to infiltrate, it has not yet been figured out how many research project teams there are in the Dawn Research Institute!
And what they are researching now.
Now they have formed a mentality that a new technology will suddenly emerge from the University of Tokyo and shock the world. If there is no such result for two or three years, it will be even more dangerous, as it almost means that the University of Tokyo is making a particularly major breakthrough!
Just like this year's manned and unmanned spacecraft! (End of this chapter)
