Chapter 875 Industrial Chain
To be honest, Laomei's spending power is really awesome. There is also a large group of Americans who try to use domestic products as much as possible. This is extremely evident in the automotive market.
There is no shortage of technology, no shortage of basic industries, and no shortage of consumer groups. The three major car companies in the United States, which were supposed to soar into the sky, just fell to the ground strangely.
Let William White say that even gods can't stop people from seeking death. GM had a chance to get out of the quagmire. It's a pity that Intuit hoped that he would leave Rabbit Country and move the factory back to America. As for the auto unions, you go on strike without a raise.
The result is naturally very bad. When GM gets rid of the entanglement of these politicians, they can only cry while watching the huge deficit.
It's useless for the Rabbit Country Factory to make more money, it's not enough for you. The company, which had just turned a profit, fell into financial crisis again.
The most dumbfounding thing is that it is impossible to say that General Motors can mass-produce ventilators.
Ahem, people who build houses really don't understand what industry is.
Auto factory transformation?
Are you sick? The so-called automobile factories are nothing more than design centers and assembly workshops. From sheet metal transmissions to engine electronics, there are a few things GM has built in-house. If you have the time to dismantle the car factory to make ventilators, you might as well build a new factory.
William White's BHP Billiton, together with Rio Tinto and Vale, are the world's top three iron ore suppliers.
What, the Great Lakes of the United States may be the largest iron ore producing area in the world.
Because they have their own steelworks, so that's it. Your customers are also your competitors. Think about it yourself, if you have a choice, who will buy iron ore with you.
If you look away from the iron ore and automobile industries, you will be surprised to find that many things in this world have a clear division of labor. If you want to open up the entire industrial chain, it is almost impossible.
Doesn't Four Star make mobile phone chips?
This has been dealt with by the US emperor. If the Apple family is not dominant, the US emperor will definitely continue to clean up you.
If you sell mobile phones, you can sell mobile phones, and you can't make chips and panels. There's nothing you can do with this thing, no matter how hard you are, people will deal with you.
Four Star was later forced to slow down the development of chipsets, and it really couldn't stand the pressure. If most of the mobile phones in the world are produced by you, others will not be able to drink Northwest Wind. The most terrible thing is that in the entire industrial chain, you are completely in the inner circle.
"President, Motorola informed us that the price of the chipset will be greatly reduced in the next supply cycle."
"Tanaka, by a large margin? Aren't they in short supply now? Why a large reduction?
By the way, what is our stock of J27 now? "
The position of DVD in the foot basin is a bit embarrassing. Although it can sell more than 100,000 units a year, it is still not as good as the sales of VCRs. This is especially true for Panasonic, the overlord of video recorders.
"President, the inventory is 150,000 units, which is already a very low level.
The reason for Motorola's price adjustment is that Baodao is ready for mass production. They'll adjust the price of the chipset to $75. "
"So powerful? Is America selling well now? Why don't I think so."
"President, the sales data in America is similar to ours here, mainly video recorders. It's just that Rabbit Country is a little different. Our people came back to report that they can sell at least 300,000 units this year."
The old guy staggered. To him, the sales data of the Rabbit Country was higher than that of the foot basin, which was simply unacceptable.
"Baga, we have less than 20,000 Panasonic units, right? What's the reason?"
"Ahem, president, more than 20,000 yuan, many of them sent to Xiangjiang will be smuggled to Rabbit Country in the end.
We have a problem right now, Motorola's decoder is block-blocked. The ones we sold to Xiangjiang were transported to Rabbit Country within a few days. "
The partition encoding developed by William White greatly caters to the demands of content providers, which is why he can easily overturn MPEG.
Of course, when it comes to international companies like Panasonic, this will be a big trouble. Originally, it was OK to prepare one model, but now it has to be divided into several locations.
"Tanaka, even so, these sales shouldn't be the only ones. It's because our prices are too expensive, or there are other reasons."
"Ahem, what, the manufacturers in the Rabbit Country did not follow the agreed conditions. President, it is not difficult to crack the DVD partition decoding, but we need to pay attention to the impact. The OEM products they export to the United States are still strictly enforced. This standard."
"Nani, why is this happening?"
"I don't know, and the DVD Alliance has no intention of pursuing it. As for those content providers, they can't make money in Rabbit Country."
The old guy was depressed, he had actually seen William White's ambition. Now just reduce the price of the chipset by 25%, and soon, in another year at most, the price of this chipset will drop below fifty.
At that time, the price of the DVD terminal will be less than one hundred dollars.
The price of semiconductors will drop in just over a year. I believe that within three to five years, it will be difficult for you to sell more than one hundred dollars.
"Tanaka-kun, the inventory of video recorders must be strictly controlled, starting from now, it cannot exceed 50,000 units.
Also, let them evaluate whether our factory in Rabbit Country can be expanded. "
"I know the president, and I will arrange it right away. President, can we exert some pressure through the DVD alliance?"
"It's useless. If William White produces it himself, it's another matter. This is obviously unfair competition. He does not produce this now, and he is not the actual controller of Motorola."
"The U.S. emperor is really cunning and cunning."
"Baga, work quickly."
Tanaka didn't care about being sprayed with disgrace by the president. The upper and lower levels of the foot basin are strictly hierarchical, and it is actually an honor to be scolded by the president. If you feel aggrieved, can't you still bully your subordinates?
The foot basin is so strange, if the president and president are particularly jerk, don't expect a good bird in the company.
"Breach? Haha, Filson, our laws can't restrain them. Do you really think we have no way to avoid cracking?"
Of course Felson knew. In fact, he also knew that the boss deliberately let people put water in the negotiation.
"Ahem, Panasonic has a small opinion."
"It's okay, taking advantage is not over yet, if I eat up the terminal market in one bite, they will definitely jump, now that they share the benefits, they should know the trade-offs.
Alas, the mid-to-high-end market is definitely dominated by foot basin people. In this industrial chain, we enjoy the benefits of patents and chipsets, and they naturally have to rely on their own efforts. "
Felson thought, it must be your price cut that made them uneasy. If it goes down like this, American families will definitely have one more household appliance.
More than two hundred U.S. dollars is too expensive, but one hundred and fifty is very OK, if it is reduced to less than one hundred. You can get a DVD when you buy a TV.
The United States has been promoting digital video transmission since last year, and everyone can see this trend. The life cycle of the video recorder is almost over, and the next step will definitely be a wave of digitalization.
Digital content naturally requires digital TV. When the resolution of these TVs increases, who will watch videotapes. When digital video recorders come along, traditional VCRs and televisions will become electronic waste.
