SoftBank never realized that Kameda Masao was a director and it was a conspiracy from beginning to end. It seems that the soft bank has gained a lot of benefits, but the benefits are paid by Microsoft.
Fengyu Holdings and Taihua Holdings have relied on the power of SoftBank to enter many of their products into the markets of island countries and even other countries.
As for the Chinese market, after selling those software companies in China, SoftBank's business volume in China has shrunk further.
Although Sun Zhengyi got angry at Softbank's board of directors over this, it didn't help. He only thought that Kameda Masao was angry and left, but he didn't know that Kameda Masao was just using the topic as an excuse and had already planned to leave.
When the external situation finally stabilized, trouble arose again on China's side, and the trouble still came from Lianxiang Group.
"Old Liu, tell me what's going on." Feng Yu crossed his legs. There are no serious negative comments about Lianxiang Group on the Internet.
Liu Chuanzhi took two puffs of cigarette and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray: "Yuan Qing, please tell me."
Yang Yuanqing nodded and introduced: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Zong, the netbook we launched some time ago has a good reputation and very good sales, and it has led to the development of this low-price laptop market."
"It can be said that almost all PC manufacturers are now interested in this market and are planning to or are currently researching low-priced netbooks. This includes some of our domestic manufacturers."
"This morning, Mr. Liu and I went to meet with the leaders of the Academy of Sciences. They said they wanted us to help domestic PC brands. They said it was from the top."
Zong Qingxian frowned and asked, "Did Shenzhou open up the joints on top?"
Yang Yuanqing shook his head: "It's not Shenzhou. Although Shenzhou is also a joint venture, the private company is the controlling party. I'm talking about two state-owned enterprises, or school enterprises. One is Fang Zheng from Beijing University, and the other is Tongzheng from Huaqing University. square."
"Is it them? That makes sense."
Zong Qingxian is also a little worried. These two are also relatively well-known IT companies in China. And because it is supported by two universities, there is no shortage of talent reserves.
Not only teachers and professors from universities, but also many doctoral students, graduate students, and even undergraduates. Many of Hua Xia's top executives also graduated from these two schools, and they have deep feelings for each other.
Zong Qingxian suddenly asked: "Mr. Feng, I remember that you seemed to have donated a lot to Beijing University. Why didn't you invest in Fang Zheng in the first place?"
If Taihua Holdings Group takes a stake in Fang Zheng, then everything will be much easier to solve. Just merge Fang Zheng's PC business into Lianxiang Group, which will also increase the strength of Lianxiang Group.
Feng Yu curled his lips: "I don't donate less to Huaqing University. This has nothing to do with whether or not to invest in the school and the company. They are all our own country's industries, and the ones who make money are our own people. Let them make whatever they make." It’s ready.”
If there were foreign investors wanting to invest in these two school companies at that time, then Feng Yu would definitely do so. Isn’t it because there is no foreign investment? Why does Feng Yu insist on investing in these two school companies
When the time comes, let others say that while Feng Yu is donating money, he cannibalizes the school's business at the same time. This is hard to say.
"What do you mean, Mr. Feng, you mean we should help those two school enterprises? But helping them make netbooks means competing with us in the market." Yang Yuanqing objected.
Feng Yu pointed to the coffee table in front of them: "Our Chinese market is so big. Now we occupy more than half, and other island countries' products, European and American products, Baodao products, South Korean products, etc. divide the remaining market."
"Now that we have opened up the blank market, products from other regions will soon come to compete with us. Do you think we can completely occupy this market?"
"Since we can't occupy 100% of it, it is destined to be divided. It is better to support our domestic companies and let them make money, thereby squeezing out other competitors."
"At least they are still one of their own, and they can also give other competitors the illusion that there are already many netbooks in the Chinese market. If they come in, they will only have leftovers."
"Mr. Feng, what do you mean, we help Tongfang and Fangzheng, give them technical support, and then let them compete with us in a healthy way, thus crowding out other competitors?" Yang Yuanqing asked carefully.
"Is there anything wrong with this? They are far inferior to us in terms of technology and cost, and they will not be our opponents. But it is undeniable that they may make breakthrough products. If they really make them, they will be more cost-effective of netbooks, what if this market is given to them?”
Although netbook sales are okay, profits are relatively low. After Lianxiang Group develops ultra-thin notebooks, the market can still be captured.
In any case, this market is in the hands of Chinese companies, and that is enough. Feng Yu doesn't want foreign companies to occupy it, nor does he want companies from Baodao to occupy it.
"Then do we have to charge a certain patent licensing fee? Or should we simply buy shares and bring them into our camp?" Liu Chuanzhi thought for a while and said.
If Lianxiang Group wanted to invest in these two companies, it would not be too difficult. If you want to get benefits from Lianxiang Group, how can you do it without giving anything
Liu Chuanzhi once thought about turning these two companies into subsidiaries of Lianxiang Group, focusing on product research and development, and at the same time enriching Lianxiang Group's product line.
These two companies are researching electronic dictionaries, repeaters, voice recorders, MP3s, USB flash drives, etc., which are quite good. Although many of them were developed with patent authorization from Fengyu Electronics and others.
But precisely because of this, Liu Chuanzhi has never acquired these two companies because the product lines overlap with those of Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, etc.
Feng Yu waved his hand: "If they are willing to let us take shares, then it is fine. If they are not willing, there is no need to force it, just authorize the patent and charge a reasonable fee. Our main direction in the future of Lianxiang Group is to continuously improve the cost performance. This Although netbooks are good, they won’t be popular for a few years.”
Today's cheap laptops are pretty good, but before Feng Yu was reborn, not many people bought them. At that time, if it was for surfing the Internet, others bought tablet computers, which were smaller, easier to carry, and had good performance.
"Okay, then we will respond to the call from above and start supporting national IT enterprises." Liu Chuanzhi made a decision.
Of course, this help is also limited. It is impossible for those two companies to be superior to Lianxiang Group. Lianxiang Group is Liu Chuanzhi’s dream and the representative of China’s IT companies!
Feng Yu had a smile on his face. It would be better if other PC manufacturers paid more attention to this. Once the ultra-thin comes out, they will suffer a loss. The emergence of tablets will completely shrink this market!
At that time, even if he wanted to become the world's PC boss, he would be sure to do so.
