"Of course, of course, Mr. Evan, the investment scale of the two parties, the management composition of the joint venture factory, etc., still need to be coordinated by a professional negotiation team organized by the two companies. I am here to express an intention on behalf of Toshiba, We are very willing to cooperate with ibhang to jointly meet the challenges of Aikang," Tanimura Atsushi said into the microphone in a sincere tone, speaking in English with a strong Japanese accent. And when he hung up the phone, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Everything is as he expected, and the new notebook series notebook computers launched by Aikang Company made IB feel a strong pressure. Although IB has a solid technical background that ordinary companies can't match in the computer field, it also has explanations such as bloated institutions and low efficiency in large companies, and fine cost control is by no means its director.

In the case of unified standards, the personal computer industry is increasingly moving in the direction of price wars. By virtue of its special relationship with Dongfang Group, Aikang can always become a leader in the upgrading of personal computer technology, so as to take the lead in the competition in the mid-to-high-end market and avoid the tragic price competition in the low-end field.

In the mid-to-high-end market, IB has been suppressed by Aikang, and in the low-end market, it has been challenged by low-cost Asian computer companies such as Acer and Lu's. So ib has always wanted to find another way, and laptops are the unique market segment that ib has found for itself.

The size limit of notebook computers has already excluded most small and medium computer manufacturers with insufficient industrial design capabilities. Without the price war spoilers of these companies, the industry as a whole can maintain a good profit margin level. This is especially important for IB, the expensive labor costs in the United States. Let the manufacturing enterprises here never rely on small profits but quick turnover to survive.

Another time and space. Although the ib company first developed the p company, the threat of Aikang is far greater than that of Toshiba. Therefore, when Aikang entered the notebook computer market with a very strong attitude, Toshiba, which had fought to the death with itself before, immediately became a partner that could cooperate. For Toshiba, it is undoubtedly an excellent partner in P company. First of all, ib company does not have much accumulation in liquid crystal technology, and the labor cost in the United States is expensive, so the joint venture factory will definitely be built in Japan. , and Toshiba can also complete the core technical and management team of the joint venture factory.

In addition, IB does not produce and sell TV sets, and in Toshiba's view, the application prospects of liquid crystal technology in TV sets are no worse than those in the computer field. Therefore, Toshiba has actually taken a bigger advantage. Once the yield and clarity of tft LCD on large-size screens meet the requirements, LCD screens are bound to usher in a large number of orders.

This is actually the consensus of many people in the industry, so even if the tft panel production line is expensive, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of companies like Toshiba. Once they give up tracking the first technology, they are likely to miss the huge market in the future. Therefore, Toshiba would rather give up some of its interests to find IB, and also firmly follow up the upgrading of technology. .
