At this time in China, the application of color LCD panels is really very limited. There are two main directions, one is an electronic dictionary and the other is a notebook computer.

In fact, the development of China's notebook computers is very slow, which means that Lianxiang has gradually dominated the domestic PC market in the past few years, otherwise the development will be even slower.

Currently, the best laptops on the market are Dongzhi from the island country, followed by IBM from North America. Lianxiang's Zhaoyang series can only be ranked third, and there is not much difference behind them.

Lianxiang's other desktop PCs have developed very well due to low production costs and domestic support, suppressing foreign brands, and even gaining a certain reputation in the whole of Asia.

However, in terms of notebook computers, the cost cannot be reduced. Most of the notebook computers purchased in China at this time are for commercial use.

Just like Zhiduoxing Group, many people have computers at home, but no one buys a laptop because it is too expensive. Most of the work computers provided by the company are desktops, and only a few people have notebooks.

On Zhang Yang's own desk, besides a laptop, there is also a desktop, because the performance of the laptop is far worse than that of the desktop, and it is not easy to update.

For electronic dictionaries, the most important manufacturer is Zhiduoxing. The business dispute between Yuxing, Jin Yuanjian, Xiaobawang and Zhiduoxing on the repeater machine is not over yet, but Zhiduoxing has already gained the upper hand, and the word-of-mouth of those companies has declined seriously.

Yuxing originally planned to list in Xiangjiang this year, but now it is nowhere in sight. If this kind of dispute is not resolved, it may explode at any time. Who wants to buy your company's stock?

There were LCD production lines in China a few years ago, but the ones produced were all small. Zhang Yang felt that they were too small to be used in electronic dictionaries. It was obviously not qualified to make portable LCD screens, and it was difficult to use them in laptops. Impossible to apply on desktop.

In the previous life, the Mitsui consortium of the island country built a factory in China, and BOE and others joined the industry, as well as the rise of South Korea and Baodao, which led to a rapid drop in the price of LCD screens in China. Otherwise, computer screens with big brains may take many years to be eliminated. .

The future prospects of this industry are huge. It can be used not only in computers and game consoles, but also in TVs and mobile phones. If it is always controlled by others, it will not be good for the development of Zhiduoxing Group.

If you do it yourself, you will definitely lose money in the early stage, but as long as you can overcome it, the future will be smooth. After all, the Chinese market alone can make them a lot of money.

It's just that all the funds of Zhiduoxing Group have been spent and invested in those hardware companies. Now there is not so much money to invest in LCD panels. It is obviously more appropriate to find a partner.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang took a car and came to the Lianxiang Group that he had contacted in advance.

"Mr. Zhang, the chairman said, you can just go in when you come, and you don't need to report." Liu Chuanzhi's secretary led Zhang Yang to the door of the office, and took two steps back.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Yang opened the door and went in, and saw Liu Chuanzhi sitting by the sofa, making tea himself.

"Mr. Zhang, are you starting to care about the company's business this time?" Liu Chuanzhi smiled and stood up. Zhang Yang is an external director of Lianxiang Group, and has helped Lianxiang Group collect a lot of news from overseas markets.

However, Zhang Yang never paid attention to the company's business, but this time it was a little strange, and he began to care about the notebook business.

"Hahaha, after all, I'm also a director of the company, shouldn't I be concerned? But this time, I'm here to talk about cooperation. The cooperation between Zhiduoxing Group and Lianxiang Group."

Liu Chuanzhi poured Zhang Yang a cup of tea, picked up a small cup himself, sniffed it under his nose, and drank it in one gulp: "How to cooperate, what aspect?"

Previously, Zhang Yang called to ask about the business of notebook computers. It couldn’t be that Zhiduoxing Group wanted to make notebooks, right? This is much more difficult than game consoles. They would never choose to cooperate with Zhiduoxing Group so easily. Everyone's technology development direction is different.

"LCD screen.

"

LCD screen?

Liu Chuanzhi picked up the teapot and put it down again: "What do you mean, let's work together to make LCD screens? Do you know how much the investment will be? Besides, there are already several LCD production lines in China. If we do it again, how can we ensure profitability? ?”

If there is too much production, it cannot be sold, and it cannot compete with the companies in the island country. If there is less production, the research and development expenses will not be able to earn back, so it is better to purchase directly from others.

"The domestic LCD production lines are all purchased from foreign technology, and the products produced are all small in size. You have to purchase from abroad even if you want to use it for the group?"

"Currently, the country is already preparing to launch LCD technology in Malaysia. The research institute in Changchun has the relevant technology and is also negotiating cooperation with companies in island countries, but it is short of money."

"You and I will jointly inject capital, and we will be able to take a controlling stake in that company, and we can also rely on some island country technicians to develop it. In the end, the bulk of the profits will be ours."

"Lianxiang Group has produced more and more Zhaoyang series in the past few years, and the sales are getting better and better. Our Zhiduoxing Group purchases all of your Lianxiang products."

"In the future, if you want to enter the international market, the competitiveness of desktop computers will be weak, and notebook computers will be more suitable, and this is also a future trend."

"Producing LCD screens has many benefits for Lianxiang Group. Although it may affect income temporarily, it will not be controlled by others in the future."

Liu Chuanzhi poured Zhang Yang a cup of tea again: "Mr. Zhang, I agree with what you said, but I don't understand, what does this have to do with your Zhiduoxing Group?"

"Your handhelds and electronic pets need LCD screens, but they are all small. The domestic technology should be able to meet it? Even if you can't, you don't spend much money to purchase abroad, and you don't say that you are controlled by others. "

"The LCD screen is very important to Lenovo Group, which we want to develop the notebook market, but is it that important to you?"

Liu Chuanzhi always felt that Zhang Yang had nothing to say, and he would not easily agree to such a big decision.

"Who said it doesn't matter? First, our future handheld screens will increase, and the current domestic screen size can no longer meet the needs. Foreign prices are very high, which makes our competitiveness weaker."

"Secondly, we are developing a new generation of educational electronic products, which just need a larger screen so that they can be seen more clearly."

"Thirdly, we will also develop some new applications for screens, such as portable DVD players, game consoles with external screens, and so on."

"I think no one will suffer when we join forces. Frankly speaking, we don't have enough funds for the time being to invest by ourselves, and I don't want to wait any longer. The longer we wait, the bigger the technological gap we will have in the future."

Liu Chuanzhi leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes. It turns out that the LCD screen can still be used in this way. If so, you can consider giving it a try.
