Chapter 567 Sending People to the Blue Sky and Sending People to the Western Sky

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

  Speaking of these, Wang Dongsheng is full of expectations: "As soon as our production becomes normalized, we will go abroad to investigate, find all the companies that produce TFT-LCD liquid crystals in the world, and discuss joint ventures with them."

  Wang Dongsheng stopped when he said this. He looked at Qin Tao's expression: "Mr. Qin, do you not like our plan?"

   BOE's ability to carve out a world on the stage in the future also has 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 for technology. No matter how big we make this market, it is impossible to truly master the technology. However, if we If it is acquired, it will still not be able to acquire advanced technology. Take Hyundai as an example. They have second-generation and third-generation panel production lines. They are still studying 3.5-generation production lines. If we acquire them, we can only acquire The second-generation LCD production line."

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

Similar to memory, the update of LCD production technology requires high investment. In the peak season of LCD sales, the earned money needs to be invested in research and development. If the research and development is successful, a new production line must be established quickly. , LCD production has begun to lose money, and it has to continue to invest in production to allow more LCD displays to be available in the market, so that competitors can be crushed.

It can be said that this is a point of no return. If you make money, you have to invest in R&D. If you lose money, you have to invest more money to continue R&D. This thing is burning money. When it can’t burn, and other Competitors opened the gap and were eliminated.

   As for the newcomers, it is even more difficult.

"That's right, if we buy, we can only be backward production lines, but at least we can get a full set of technology, and then invest a lot of money in research and development, and catch up with the fourth and fifth generations. In the seventh generation, to achieve transcendence, since you want to take this path, you have to be the leader in this industry!" Qin Tao said: "If you don't have this belief, then don't do it, this path is not good Walk."

  Qin Tao is optimistic about Dongfang Electronics. Just a few months later, this company will officially change its name to BOE. Yes, it is BOE that can keep pace with Samsung in future generations and become a giant in LCD display!

  Now, the era belonging to Dongfang 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 go this way, 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 guys. Since their Capital Electron Tube Factory has taken this road of display, they must go on without hesitation!

"Well, when you go out to investigate, let's focus on acquisitions." Qin Tao said: "The last few years 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 gone."

There are some words that Qin Tao can’t explain clearly. It’s the end of 1996. In one or two years, there will be a serious financial crisis. Some companies will struggle to support themselves, and some companies will sell their outdated production lines to get rid of it. Crisis, that's what modern electronics are.

   BOE's first LCD production line is just like this.

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

   "Our Mingzhou Group will also provide assistance." Qin Tao continued: "Now, our Godson computers can be matched with the monitors produced by you, and we can establish a long-term supply relationship in the future."

  Wang Dongsheng was overjoyed immediately.

  Godson Computer has sprung up suddenly, and after successfully winning the government's procurement, it has developed to a new stage.

  However, Loongson Computer does not produce monitors, and even computer motherboards are manufactured by other factories. They mainly produce processors and memory. Now, if they catch the ship of Loongson Computer, then the CRT monitors they produce will have a steady stream of sales.

   "Thank you Mr. Qin for your support, we will provide the most suitable price." Wang Dongsheng said.

"These are trivial things." Qin Tao said: "In the future, if you lack funds during the acquisition, 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 in shares. In the future, maybe our Mingzhou Group will become your largest shareholder."

  A few years ago, the Capital Electron Tube Factory was in difficulty and owed more and more money to the bank. After Wang Dongsheng became the factory manager, the first thing he did was to solve the debt problem. His solution was to turn the creditor into a shareholder.

The bank is not stupid. It is risky to change the shareholders. The capital electronic tube factory is required to bring in new funds. Therefore, Wang Dongsheng can only mobilize the employees to raise funds, and they have invested more than 6 million yuan to settle the bank. .

However, those are in the past. If you want to take the road of liquid crystal display, then there will be more places to spend money in the future. Whether it is acquisition or research and development, you need to invest a lot of money. It is a loss because of these reasons.

  Although it will burn a lot of money, when all the competitors are crushed and the company becomes a leader in this field, there will still be a lot of profits coming.

   "Thank you, Mr. Qin." Wang Dongsheng is very grateful. He wants to enter the LCD industry, but he also knows that it needs to invest a lot of money. The money Dongfang Electronics earns now may have to be invested in the future, and it is not enough.

  It would be much better if there is a powerful foreign aid like Mingzhou Group to help.

   "You're welcome, we invested money for dividends." Qin Tao said: "And, when you produce advanced LCD monitors in the future, we can also use them in our own equipment."

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

  Although it doesn’t work now, it will definitely be used in the future. An advanced fighter like the J-31A must of course use a large LCD monitor.

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

  Now, if Mingzhou Group also takes a stake in BOE, of course they 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 inspected Dongfang Electronics for a whole morning, had lunch in the cafeteria at noon, and left in the afternoon.

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

"Dongfang Electronics will become a world-renowned liquid crystal manufacturer in the future." Qin Tao said: "It will greatly promote the technology of our country. We must support these industries, and our investment will definitely get rich returns. .”

  Xu Zhengyang nodded. He deeply agreed with what Qin Tao said.

  President Qin's investment vision is absolutely correct, and one incident over the years has proved this point.

   "Boss 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 return to the capital to see their children when they are free, and watch their children on the computer when they are not free.

  After Qin Tao entered the house this time, he was surprised to see that Zhao Ling had also returned. At this time, the couple were playing in the yard.

  In winter, Qin Haiyang wore thick clothes, a tailor-made cotton coat, and a tiger hat on his head, which looked carefully sewn.

   "Dad!" Seeing Qin Tao coming back, Qin Haiyang immediately ran over and threw himself into Qin Tao's arms.

  After being hugged by Qin Tao, Qin Haiyang started to play with the way he invented again. He pulled Qin Tao's face with both hands and stretched it hard, making Qin Tao a grimace.

   "Hang Hai, don't be naughty!" Zhao Ling said quickly from the side.

  Qin Haiyang played for a few times before letting go of his hand in 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 a year-end award? You talents 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 your dream of manned landing on Mars." Zhao Ling said with a smile: "The superiors have repeatedly asked me to persuade you Go to the meeting."

   "Would you like to sleep with me? All right, as long as you put me in sleepwear, I'll go tomorrow." There was something in Qin Tao's words, and Zhao Ling blushed: "You, why are you still like this?"

  Seeing his wife's blushing face, Qin Tao was amused for a while: "What's the matter? Passing on the family line, this is a major event in life, and Haiyang is alone. He's so lonely. We need to find a companion for him."

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

   "Don't worry Haiyang, Dad will find a way to make your mother pregnant with a little sister tonight."

the next day.

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

In 1956, a dedicated Aerospace Aerodynamic Technology Research Institute was established in China, marking the start of the aerospace industry in China. 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 Aerospace Industry. The Ministry of Industry, whose latest name is China Aerospace Industry Corporation, has 16 aerospace research institutes and hundreds of research institutes under it.

  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: "Old Wu, with my status, it's not appropriate to sit there?"

  This meeting is called the end-of-year summary meeting of Aerospace Industry Corporation, and I am not in their company at all, so it is good to attend the meeting, there is no need to go to the rostrum!

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

   Exciting the big guys?

Qin Tao had a smile on his face: "What excitement can I have, our starship company is just a shell, it doesn't have its own core technology at all, and it is completely burning money now, there is no need to come Show off in front of the big guys! Besides, if you want to stimulate, you can stimulate yourself."

   Everyone else on the rostrum widened their eyes.

  Old Wang, who was in charge of the manned spaceflight project, asked, "President Qin, what do you think? Do you want us to engage in a competition mechanism internally?"

   "That's right, only with competition can there be development, and our aerospace industry must also compete."

  Qin Tao is the most respectful of competition, only competition can develop, the navy needs to invite bids for warship procurement, and it is he who proposed it. The current naval equipment has developed greatly, and Qin Tao has played a key role in it.

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

"Mr. Qin, even if our aerospace industry is concentrated at present, we may not be able to achieve great things. We still have to engage in competition. Wouldn't it be distracting?" Mr. Wu said curiously: "Of course we know that competition can promote development. But now, we have to twist into one rope to better compete with the outside world."

"Well, I'm a layman after all, and I don't know much about our aerospace industry. However, only competition can promote development. If you are afraid of competition, you must be overstaffed and wait for all kinds of people to feed you." Qin Tao said: "There are always some companies that are used to dawdling and don't think about making progress."

Without competition, there is no sense of crisis. Some supporting companies are very arrogant. Anyway, only my factory in the whole system produces this kind of parts. You have to give me money, and if the research and development funds are not enough, you have to allocate more funds to me.

   As for the research and development results? What's the hurry! Wait, then. You begged us to provide support, so many things?

   This is the disadvantage of no competition.

  When Mr. Song was working on J-10, he encountered such a mess. He vigorously promoted the reform and created the system of chief engineer. What happened in the system? Do you want research funds? Then come up with the results first, and to what extent the project has progressed, you will be allocated funds accordingly.

This kind of system immediately put an end to the thinking of those supporting manufacturers as uncles, and they all have to do scientific research obediently. As a result, Mr. Song scolded him a lot, and some people even scolded him in front of Mr. Song. How much more can you do, Mr. Song? Year?

  Elder Song withstood the pressure. Even if I die, the system of the chief teacher cannot be changed!

   "However, considering the specific status quo of our aerospace industry, the competition will not be fierce for the time being, but it is still necessary to dismantle an aerospace industry corporation, and at least divide it into two, so as to compare and compete with each other."

   "Mr. Qin, please speak." A light shone in Wang Lao's eyes.

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

  The scene was silent, and then there was a bang of laughter.

   President Qin is really humorous! However, the analysis of this sentence makes sense.

The project Wang Lao and the others worked on was to send people to the blue sky. On September 21, 1992, China's manned spaceflight project was officially approved, and the project code was "921". Wang Lao was officially appointed as the chief designer of the manned spaceflight project. , that year, he happened to be 60 years old.

  The work Mr. Wang does is to send people into the blue 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 part of the research is weapons. , is to send the enemy to the west.

Now, if this method is followed, the Aerospace Industry Corporation can really be split into two parts. Moreover, this is also in line with reality. With the continuous development of technology, the connection between the two parts is becoming less and less .

When we were working on 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. The gap between them is also getting bigger and bigger.

  It is true that they can be separated, so that the two companies can also compete and make progress together.

"One is to send people to the blue sky, and the other is to send people to the west." Qin Tao wrote an impromptu poem: "One kind of target is our own people, one kind of target is the enemy, and the other kind is petty. I still want one, it’s very generous, just play it!…”

   PS: Here are the complete ones, not counting the number of words.

   They send people to the blue sky, but we send people to the west. Their target is their own people, our target is the enemy. They are so stingy, even if they fight out, they want more! We are so generous, just call it out! What they do is to show their reputations openly, what we do is stealth and covert work, what they give out is money, what we give out is fire, they are happy that they succeeded again, and we are happy that we didn’t fall down and the war depends on us The war really depends on us, and the successful people among them can be seen in the newspapers, and our outstanding representatives can only be found in the history books in the future. They succeeded, and the country hopes that as many people as possible know that we succeeded, The country wants as few people as possible to know about it. Their success is called propaganda, and our success is called leaking. They fly for the cause of peace and we throw them for the cause of war. They flew over to leave their names, and we flew over to leave their names. They have a bright future and we have a bad future. Everyone on the earth knows the models they make, and our models are called XX-XX even on the LAN. They ask for money under the banner of peace, and we ask for money under the banner of war. They fly to blue space, we fly to enemy ships. Their sense of accomplishment is a safe round trip, our sense of accomplishment is gone forever. They are engaged in satellites, we are engaged in hygiene, they are heroes, and we are murderers. They don’t have anything, but we have everything if we have money, but if we don’t have money, they are happy that they will be paid and we are happy that we will be laid off
