Chapter 567 Sending people to the blue sky and sending people to the west sky

"We once developed an LCD panel in 1981, but the road to independent research and development was not easy. Later we gave up." Wang Dongsheng said: "Now, we want to re-enter this industry. There are a total of There are three ways: independent research and development, joint ventures, and acquisitions. We first gave up independent research and development. If we want to catch up with the world's advanced level as soon as possible, there are only two other ways to go."

 Speaking of this, Wang Dongsheng is full of expectations: "As long as our production reaches normalization, we will go abroad to inspect, look for all companies in the world that produce TFT-LCD liquid crystals, and negotiate joint ventures with them."

When he said this, Wang Dongsheng stopped. He looked at Qin Tao's expression: "Mr. Qin, are you not optimistic about our plan?"

  BOE can compete on the future stage because of their own ability. It can be seen at a glance that Qin Tao does not support this plan, which is a special ability.

 “What do you think?” Qin Tao asked Wang Dongsheng.

Wang Dongsheng thought carefully for a few seconds, and then said: "If we operate a joint venture, we can only rely on the market to exchange technology. No matter how big we make this market, we will not be able to truly master the technology. However, if we Even if we make an acquisition, we still won’t be able to acquire advanced technology. Take Hyundai as an example. They have second- and third-generation panel production lines and are currently still studying 3.5-generation production lines. If we make an acquisition, we can only acquire at most Second-generation LCD production line.”

 LCD technology is constantly developing and will eventually surpass plasma display technology and have excellent display effects. However, this development path is not smooth.

Very similar to memory, the update of LCD production technology requires high investment. During the peak season of LCD sales, the money earned needs to be invested in research and development. If the research and development is successful, new production lines must be quickly established. In the off-season of LCD sales, , LCD production has begun to lose money, and we have to continue to invest in production so that there will be more LCD monitors on the market, so that we can squeeze out our competitors.

It can be said that this is a road of no return. If you make money, you have to invest it in research and development. If you lose money, you have to invest more money in research and development. This thing is burning money. When will it stop burning, and other The competitors widened the gap and were eliminated.

 As for those who are new to the industry, it is even more difficult.

"Yes, if we acquire, we can only acquire backward production lines, but at least we can acquire a full set of technologies, and then invest massive amounts of money in research and development. By the fourth and fifth generations, we will be able to catch up, and the sixth and fourth generations will be able to catch up. To achieve transcendence in the seventh generation, if you want to take this path, you must be the leader in this industry!" Qin Tao said: "If you don't have this belief, then don't do it, this is not a good path. Walk."

Qin Tao is optimistic about Oriental Electronics. In just a few months, the company will officially change its name to BOE. Yes, it will be the BOE that can keep pace with Samsung and become the LCD giant in the future!

Now, the era of Eastern Electronics has just begun.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Wang Dongsheng's eyes were extremely firm: "Mr. Qin, you are right. Since we want to take this path, we must go on without hesitation! We want to become the leader in this industry!"

Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good cooks. Since their capital electronic tube factory has taken this path of monitors, they must go on without hesitation!

"Well, then when you go out to inspect, focus on acquisitions." Qin Tao said: "In recent years, it may be a good opportunity for us to acquire backward LCD production lines at a suitable price. The next step is to catch up and surpass ”

There are some things that Qin Tao cannot explain clearly. It is already the end of 1996. In one or two years, there will be a serious financial crisis. Some companies will struggle to survive, and some companies will sell off their backward production lines to get rid of it. Crisis, such is the case with modern electronics.

BOE’s first LCD production line was obtained in this way.

 There will not be too many problems in international acquisitions, the key is to catch up and surpass! Acquiring a production line is just the first step into the LCD industry, and the next road will be more difficult.

“Our Mingzhou Group will also provide help.” Qin Tao continued: “Now, our Loongson computers can be matched with the monitors you produce, and we can establish a long-term supply relationship in the future.”

Wang Dongsheng was immediately overjoyed.

Loongson Computer suddenly emerged. After successfully winning government procurement, it has developed to a new stage.

However, Loongson Computer does not produce monitors. Even computer motherboards are OEMed by other factories. They mainly produce processors and memory. Now, if we board the ship of Loongson Computer, then there will be a steady stream of sales for the CRT monitors they produce.

“Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your support. We will provide the most suitable price.” Wang Dongsheng said.

"These are all small things." Qin Tao said: "In the future, if you lack funds when making acquisitions, then our Mingzhou Group can also invest in shares. When you lack funds for research and development in the future, our Mingzhou Group can also continue Invest and become a shareholder. In the future, maybe our Mingzhou Group will become your largest shareholder."

 A few years ago, the Capital Electronic Tube Factory was in difficulty and owed more and more money to banks. After Wang Dongsheng became the director of the factory, the first thing he did was to solve the debt problem. His solution was to turn creditors into shareholders.

The bank is not stupid. It is risky to change shareholders. It requires the Capital Electronic Tube Factory to bring in new funds. Therefore, Wang Dongsheng can only mobilize employees to raise funds and raise more than 6 million yuan to settle the bank. .

However, that is all in the past. If you want to take the path of LCD monitors, there will be more places to spend money in the future. Whether it is acquisitions or research and development, you will need to invest huge amounts of money. The giant BOE has been in the market for many years. It is a loss because of these reasons.

Although it will cost a lot of money, when you crush all your competitors and become the leader in this field, there will still be a lot of profits.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Wang Dongsheng was very grateful. He wanted to enter the LCD industry, but he also knew that it would require a huge investment. The money earned by Oriental Electronics now might have to be invested in the future, and it would not be enough.

It would be much better if strong foreign aid like the Mingzhou Group provided help.

“You’re welcome, we invested the money for the purpose of stock dividends.” Qin Tao said: “And when you produce advanced LCD monitors in the future, we can also use them in our own equipment.”

Fighters of this era have become popular. There are three monitors below. They look flat, just like LCD monitors. In fact, they are ordinary CRT monitors. LCD monitors have many defects and cannot be used in fighter aircraft. used as a display device.

Although it is not possible now, it will definitely be used in the future. Advanced fighter jets like the J-31A will of course have to use large LCD displays.

In later generations, fighter jet displays were provided by Changfeng Electronics, a subsidiary of AVIC. After all, military products require much higher quality than civilian products. However, Qin Tao is not so particular. Many of the performances of civilian products are much higher than military products. , Take computers as an example. The computing speed and the like are beyond the reach of military products.

Now, if Mingzhou Group also invests in BOE, of course it will also use their supporting products.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, please rest assured, I will never let you down." Wang Dongsheng was very excited.

Qin Tao spent a whole morning inspecting Dongfang Electronics, had a meal in the cafeteria at noon, and left in the afternoon.

“Mr. Qin, our Mingzhou Group is really going to develop in an all-round way.” Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tao while driving.

"Oriental Electronics will become a world-famous LCD manufacturer in the future." Qin Tao said: "It will have a significant role in promoting our country's science and technology. We must support these industries, and our investment will definitely receive generous returns. .”

Xu Zhengyang nodded, he deeply believed what Qin Tao said.

Mr. Qin’s investment vision is absolutely correct. One incident over the years has proved this.

“Mr. Qin, where are you going next?”

 “Go home and see your son.”

Since weaning, Qin Haiyang has come to live in the capital. Qin Tao and Zhao Ling go back to the capital to see their children when they have time, and watch their children through video on the computer when they have no time.

After Qin Tao entered the house this time, he was surprised to see Zhao Ling coming back. At this time, the two of them were playing in the yard.

 It was winter, and Qin Haiyang was dressed very thickly. He was wearing a tailor-made cotton coat and a tiger hat on his head. It looked like it was carefully sewn.

“Dad!” Seeing Qin Tao come back, Qin Haiyang immediately ran over and threw himself into Qin Tao’s arms.

When Qin Tao picked him up, Qin Haiyang started playing the game he invented again. He pulled Qin Tao's face with both hands and stretched it hard, making Qin Tao turn into a grimace.

 “Hai Yang, don’t be naughty!” Zhao Ling said quickly from the side.

 Qin Haiyang played for a few times before letting go of his hand with satisfaction. Qin Tao looked at his wife: "Xiao Ling, why are you back?"

“The aerospace system held a year-end meeting, and I came back to attend the meeting.” Zhao Ling said.

"Is there any year-end bonus? Those of you who have made outstanding contributions should give you a big red envelope." Qin Tao said with a smile.

Zhao Ling smiled and shook her head: "There is no year-end bonus, but there is an invitation letter. If you have time tomorrow, you can also go to the meeting together."

"Me? What does this have to do with me?" Qin Tao suddenly became curious.

"Of course it's none of your business. Isn't your Mingzhou Group involved in the aerospace industry? You still want to realize the dream of manned landing on Mars." Zhao Ling said with a smile: "The superior leaders have repeatedly asked me to convince you. Go to the meeting.”

　　"Will you sleep with me? Okay, as long as you sleep with me, I will go tomorrow." There was something in Qin Tao's words, and Zhao Ling's face turned red: "You, why are you still like this?"

Looking at his wife's blushing face, Qin Tao felt happy for a while: "What's wrong? Carrying on the family line is a major event in life. We, Haiyang, are alone and lonely. We have to find him a companion."

Qin Haiyang actually understood and immediately made a request: "Yes, mom, I want you to give me another baby sister!"

 “Don’t worry, Haiyang, tonight dad will find a way to get your mom to have a little sister in her belly.”

the next day.

 Qin Tao and Zhao Ling came to the Aerospace Industry Corporation together.

In 1956, a specialized aerospace aerodynamics technology research institute was established in China, marking the beginning of the domestic aerospace industry. After that, many names were changed, such as the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense, the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Ministry of Aerospace Industry, and the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The Ministry of Industry, whose latest name is China Aerospace Industry Corporation, has 16 aerospace research institutes and hundreds of affiliated research institutes.

After Qin Tao entered, Mr. Wu on the rostrum immediately stood up excitedly and said hello: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, come and sit here!"

Qin Tao frowned: "Mr. Wu, with my status, it's inappropriate to sit there, right?"

This meeting is called the year-end summary meeting of the Aerospace Industry Corporation. I am not part of their company at all, so it is good to attend the meeting as a non-voting witness. There is no need to go to the podium!

"Mr. Qin, you are the most suitable." Mr. Wu said: "Your Mingzhou Group is going to build a big rocket that will outshine all of us. We invite you here today just to let you stimulate the big guy. Let's keep working hard. You have to sit up."

 To excite everyone?

Qin Tao had a smile on his face: "What excitement can I have? Our Starship Company is just a shell. It has no core technology of its own at all. Now it is completely burning money. There is no need to come." Show off in front of everyone! Besides, if you want to be stimulated, you can stimulate yourselves."

 Everyone else on the podium opened their eyes wide.

Mr. Wang, who is in charge of the manned space project, asked: "Mr. Qin, what do you think? Do you want us to establish an internal competition mechanism?"

“Yes, competition will lead to development, and our aerospace industry must also compete.”

 Qin Tao is the one who admires competition the most. Only competition can develop. It was he who proposed the need for bidding when purchasing warships for the navy. Today's naval equipment has made great progress, and Qin Tao plays a key role in it.

Now, since the aerospace industry has invited him to attend the meeting, of course he will bring his ideas to the aerospace industry.

"Mr. Qin, even if our aerospace industry is centralized, we may not be able to achieve great things. If we have to compete, won't it distract our energy?" Mr. Wu said curiously: "Of course we know that competition can promote development. But now, we have to work together as a team to better compete with the outside world."

"Well, after all, I am a layman and I don't know much about our aerospace industry. However, only competition can promote development. If you are afraid of competition, then you will definitely have too many people lying around waiting to be fed." Qin Tao said: "There are always some companies that are used to dawdling and don't want to make progress."

If there is no competition, there will be no sense of crisis. Some supporting companies are very impressive. Anyway, my factory is the only one in the whole system that produces this kind of parts. You have to use them even if you don’t need them. Let me develop new products, then You have to give me money. If the R&D funds are not enough, you have to allocate more money to me.

 As for R&D results? What's the rush? Wait, then. You ask us to provide supporting facilities, why do you have so many things to do?

 This is the disadvantage of no competition.

When Mr. Song was working on the J-10, he encountered the same kind of mess. He vigorously promoted reform and created the chief engineer system. What happened in the system? Do you want scientific research funds? Then come up with the results first. Funds will be allocated to you according to how far the project is progressing.

This system immediately put an end to the idea that supporting manufacturers should be bosses, and they all had to do scientific research obediently. As a result, Mr. Song scolded him a lot, and some even scolded him in front of Mr. Song. How much more can you, Mr. Song, do? Year?

Mr. Song has withstood the pressure. Even if I die, the system of the chief division cannot be changed!

“However, considering the specific current situation of our aerospace industry, competition does not need to be fierce for the time being, but it is still necessary to split an aerospace industry company, at least into two, so as to compare and compete with each other.”

 “Mr. Qin, please speak.” Mr. Wang’s eyes flashed.

“We astronauts mainly do two things. One is to send people to the blue sky, and the other is to send people to the western sky. According to this classification, the aerospace company can be divided into two parts first.”

There was silence, and then there was a roar of laughter.

Mr. Qin is really humorous! However, this sentence makes a lot of sense.

The project Mr. Wang and his team are engaged in is to send people into the sky. On September 21, 1992, China's manned space project was officially launched. The project code was "921". Mr. Wang was officially appointed as the chief designer of the manned space project. , that year, he happened to be 60 years old.

 The work Mr. Wang does is to send people into the sky and into the universe. Many units in the aerospace system are working hard around this project.

The other type is people like Mr. Wu. Some develop surface-to-air missiles, and some develop surface-to-surface missiles. All kinds of missiles belong to the aerospace system. This group of people research weapons. , is to send the enemy to the west.

Now, if we follow this method, we can really split the Aerospace Industry Corporation into two parts. Moreover, this is also realistic. With the continuous development of technology, the connection between the two parts will become less and less. .

When we were developing artificial satellites, we used carrier rockets modified from Dongfeng-5 ballistic missiles, but that was just the beginning. Now, ballistic missiles have begun to move towards solid missiles, and space launches are still dominated by liquid rockets. Both parties The gap between them is also getting wider and wider.

 It can indeed be separated, so that the two companies can compete and eventually make progress together.

"One is to send people to the blue sky, and the other is to send people to the west sky." Qin Tao composed an impromptu poem: "One kind of target is one's own people, one kind of target is the enemy, and one kind is very stingy and fights out I still want it, it’s very generous, just buy it out!…”

PS: The complete version is here, not counting the number of words.

 They are sending people to the blue sky, we are sending people to the western sky. Their targets are their own people, and our targets are our enemies. They are so stingy, even after fighting, they still want it! We are so generous, just fight them out! What they do is a job that shows off their authority and fame. We do a job that is secretive. They are paid with money. We are given fire. They are happy that they succeeded again. We are happy that they did not fall. We still have to rely on our support to fight. If we really have to rely on us to fight the war, the successful ones among them can be seen in the newspapers, and our outstanding representatives can only be found in the history books in the future. If they succeed, the country hopes that the more people know about it, the better. We succeeded. The country wants as few people to know as possible. Their success is called propaganda to the outside world, and our success is called leaks to the outside world. They are flying into the sky for the cause of peace and we are throwing them into the sky for the cause of war. They flew over and left their names, we flew over and left our voices. Their future is bright and our future is bleak. Everyone on earth knows the model they made. Our model is called XX-XX even on the local area network. They ask for money from above in the name of peace, and we ask for money in the name of war. They flew into the blue space, and we flew towards the enemy ships. Their sense of accomplishment is a safe return, and our sense of accomplishment is that they will never return. They are the satellite people and we are the health people. They are the heroes and we are the murderers. They have nothing. Even if they have money, we have everything. But if we don’t have money, they are happy because they are getting paid. We are happy because we are going to be laid off.
