Judging from the information obtained by Huang Xuan, the Blu-ray Alliance's process research and development for BD will end in four years at most. At that time, the new generation of Blu-ray will gradually replace DVD and enter a fruitful harvest period.
Now, Sony's main focus is on how to mass-produce BD. The key technologies of the first-generation BD are in the hands of Japanese manufacturers such as Sony and Hitachi and the Blu-ray Alliance. Most of these patents are not unavoidable. It’s just that the cost is too high and not worthwhile.
If we directly promote the development of the second generation or even the third generation of BD, the loss will be only tens of thousands of energy, which is still within the acceptable range of Huang Xuan. However, if many of the core technologies are bypassed, all the losses will be obtained from the data. Information, this huge change may require hundreds of thousands of tons to make up for it, and the profits will be very little - after all, in horizontal comparisons, these new technologies are not dominant.
If Huang Xuan completely abandons Sony and develops a new generation of DVD technology independently, all the income from this trip to Japan will be accounted for. From this aspect, Huang Xuan needs Sony, but Shuhei Yoshida does not know . Especially after he carefully read the evaluation of Huang Xuan's patent submitted to him by the technical department, he became extremely pessimistic about Sony's prospects in BD.
However, when the call was connected, Yoshida Shuhei still tried hard to calm down his breath and said everything sounded normal: "Mr. Huang, I heard that you have returned to China recently? You had a good time in the United States."
He first said it in Japanese, and the translator faithfully translated it. Huang Xuan glanced at the two Huang sisters who were still excitedly shopping, held their mobile phones and said, "It's okay, I'm still young, and I'm more playful."
Shuhei Yoshida laughed and said: "Everyone has fun sometimes. Mr. Huang, are you interested in coming to Japan? I would like to invite you to visit Sony's factory."
Normally, such an invitation would seem a bit presumptuous, but Yoshida Shuhei believed that he and Huang Xuan had a tacit understanding, so he invited him.
Huang Xuan had his own plans. He hummed twice and said, "Mr. Yoshida, I'm sorry. I have some unfinished work in China recently and I really can't spare the time."
"That's really a pity." Yoshida was indeed quite regretful. He was silent for a moment and then said: "It's a pity that I can't go to China for the time being..."
Huang Xuan immediately understood the meaning of his words and smiled: "Maybe Sony can come to China for an inspection. This may help expand our cooperation space."
"A very good idea." That's what Yoshida Shupei said. He high-fived: "I am going to send the company's vice president Yu Nakagawa to form a delegation to China. I hope Heshin Industrial can receive it."
The candidates have been decided. It is obviously not a temporary decision. Fortunately, what he said was so natural. Huang Xuan cursed in his heart. After calculating the time, he still said: "No problem, then let's set it at the end of the month. I will prepare everything." , welcome Sony.”
Shuhei Yoshida didn't have high requirements for time. Besides, he also needed time to adapt to the threat of a new Chinese company, so he nodded and said: "That's fine."
After finishing the main content, the two chatted politely for a few words and then hung up the phone. Huang Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he thought about it, Hexin Industrial doesn't even have a branch in China...
It stands to reason that Hexin Industrial should have established a multinational branch in China long ago, but the time was not yet ripe - Hexin has been in the process of mergers and reorganizations for a period of time; secondly, there is no capable branch company Candidate.
Among the top executives in Brazil, the one with the most power now should be Zhang Rong. He is not only the deputy general manager of Xihuang Industrial, but also the vice president of Hexin Industrial, in charge of daily affairs. The reorganized former Shengfeng Industry has been merged into Hexin Group, and has been divided into two subsidiaries and one department: farms, pastures, and the import and export trade department merged with Xihuang. The main manager of this part of the business is also Zhang Rong . Since Huang Xuan had little control over the specific content within the group, Zhang Rong was actually exercising the rights of Hexin's president. On the one hand, this is Huang Xuan's trust in him, on the other hand, there is no definite better candidate.
In addition, Brenner of Furnas and Modeste of Cabres are both presidents of independent companies. Huang Xuan has a general impression of them, but he is not prepared to make major changes. In fact, these two companies It was all for plane travel services, and he had no intention of making a profit from it.
The only person who can be transferred at will is Yu Tingli. He and Zhang Rong were originally the deputy general managers of Xihuang Enterprises, but the latter was selected from Sifang Group, while the former was from Huang's Fund. Because of this, Huang Xuan was very interested in Tingli. He never caught a cold, but because of the reputation of Huang's foundation, he was kept in Xihuang Industrial. It was not a good choice to transfer him back to China.
Thinking like this, Huang Xuan inadvertently remembered Li Shenggang. He actually didn't like this person very much. He felt that his popularity was too strong. The reason why he was placed in the power plant was because of his popularity. , but it is always of little use. Therefore, except for the power plant matter, Huang Xuan rarely pulled Li Shenggang out. Now that I think about it, when interacting with Japanese people, it might be more appropriate to be more petty.
While the two cousins were trying on clothes, Huang Xuan picked up the phone and said, "Lorraine, call me Li Shenggang."
As soon as the call was connected, the sound of clinking glasses could be heard. Huang Xuan looked up at the clock in the store. He started drinking just after noon, and his evaluation of him was not in vain.
Li Shenggang drank a little too much and was still confused when he picked up the phone. There was a fat man next to him with a bulging belly. He picked up a teacup and drank half of the Wuliangye. Then he staggered over and shouted hoarsely. He said: "Mr. Li, we are also close friends. Let's have a drink and put down the phone. Today we will only drink. We won't talk about romance, nor..., nor that shitty job."
Li Shenggang in this room was a little confused, but he could still understand who was the boss, who could be offended, and who could not be offended. He hit his forehead hard with his hands, waved his left hand vigorously, stood up and walked out. At the same time, he answered the phone and shouted, "Good morning, boss."
"Are you drinking?" Huang Xuan has been a BOSS for half a year. He speaks with his own magnanimity. Most of it is learned from his mother and grandfather, and the rest is mostly due to what he has seen and heard these days and his growing knowledge.
Li Sheng just bit his tongue and felt less numb, then said: "I drank some, and I was with the power plant today..."
"Well, you can be responsible for these things." Huang Xuan snorted and said in a slightly serious tone: "Go and clean up, sober up, and I'll call you later."
As soon as Li Sheng heard Huang Xuan's dissatisfaction, he sobered up most of the wine. He is a smart man. It is precisely because of his smartness that he knows how many years it will take to reach this position if he makes his own way, or in other words, what is the chance of sitting in this position, so he gently chews the taste of Huang Xuan's words , his face turned pale.
All the people present here are the owners of small companies that use aluminum. Although the companies Huang Xuan bought are lagging behind, their production capacity is not low. Otherwise, it would be difficult to generate a large amount of electricity. But to use electricity, we need to produce aluminum ingots. It takes some effort to digest more than 10,000 tons of electrolytic aluminum every month.
At the beginning, due to the rise in foreign aluminum prices, these aluminum ingots were sent to the port for trading. Later, the output became larger and the transportation cost increased. Li Shenggang proposed to sell it domestically. Huang Xuan only wanted to lose less money, so he naturally would not object. , so Li Shenggang attended more banquets. The dinner is usually booked early, and the Chinese food cannot meet the demand, so I have to add one every afternoon and move the dinner to 9 o'clock as a late-night snack. After two months, my belly has increased by one More than twice as much.
When there are more people, competition becomes fiercer. Now the Chinese also pay attention to intelligence. Most of the people present know that there is a big boss behind Li Shenggang, but how big it is depends on the beholder and the wise. However, it is always judged by the wise. The bragging was so impressive that when many people heard Li Shenggang call him "Boss", they immediately stopped drinking and drinking.
Li Shenggang was never willing to say a word about his boss behind the scenes, but the bosses here were all dependent on the aluminum factory, and in his heart, he had the idea of kicking out the middleman. Everyone's ears pricked up.
Perhaps anticipating the thoughts of these people, Li Shenggang kicked his cell phone into his back pocket and walked to the bathroom in three steps at a time. The waiter wanted to ask him if he needed anything, but he was pushed away.
He got into the bathroom and found a pool. As soon as Li Sheng took a breath, he put two fingers into his throat. In just three to five seconds, he produced a lot of things, most of which were wine and the rest. , you can roughly recognize it by looking at its appearance...
After washing his face with water and waking up, Li Shenggang simply found a toilet and sat down. While waiting for the call, he thought carefully, guessing what his little boss was thinking, and recalling what he had done today. Why, I was thinking about it for no time. (To be continued)
