Chapter 1202 That's a Good Thing

"President Feng, it's not good, Suini and Dongzhi have joined the plasma flat panel TV alliance!" Jiang Wanmeng called, his tone a little panicked.

"Old Jiang, calm down. Speak slowly, what's going on?" Feng Yu said indifferently.

Jiang Wanmeng told Feng Yu about the news. Sonny and Dongzhi suddenly announced today that they would join the Plasma Flat Panel TV Alliance formed by Songxia and others to jointly develop and promote plasma TVs.

They claim that plasma TV, the first choice for future family TV, represents the highest-end and best-quality enjoyment. As for LCD TVs and fluorescent display TVs, they are destined to be eliminated within five years!

"Oh? So how did the four-star companies in South Korea react?" Feng Yu asked.

"no response."

"Okay, then there's no need to worry. In other words, the four-star company and others have not joined it. The current plasma TV standard and advanced technology are still in the hands of the island country company."

"President Feng, that's why we should worry."

"No, it's precisely because of this that we don't need to worry. I even want to shout, it's so good!"

Jiang Wanmeng was a little confused, Mr. Feng is talking ironically? Do you still think it's great that others control standards and technology? Didn't you say that standards are the most important core benefits of a product?

"You don't understand? Think about it, when we were developing the DVD standard, why did we recruit companies from Europe and America? Even some companies from South Korea and island countries were involved. Because the more companies implement this standard, The faster the standards are implemented, the standards are formulated by us, so we have the greatest advantage in upgrading the standards. Only we can use standards to exclude other competitors.”

"But they did make a plasma TV standard, but it will be very difficult for them to implement it. That is to say, the only ones who implement it are those companies from island countries. Now South Korean companies, Baodao companies, and European companies are all excluded. Outside, then their standard is just a means to exclude other competitors, but cannot create convenience for the development of the industry."

"Only when the industry develops vigorously can it bring the greatest benefits. For example, the size of the wheels, different cars have different tire sizes. But they all follow a standard, the model standard. If this standard becomes a means to prevent others from entering the industry, Then this type of tire is only used by these brands of cars, and everyone else uses other types of tires, what do you think will happen?"

Jiang Wanmeng said tentatively: "If there are only a few brands of cars with this model, it will cause difficulties in repairing, and others will, because of this,

Rather than buying these cars. But if these cars are really good, they can still occupy the market, and even occupy this market. "

"That's right, your analysis is right. Now Songxia and Suoni are like this. They want to occupy the plasma TV market and squeeze out other companies. Are other companies willing to be squeezed out? Flat-screen TVs are not just plasma TVs. Ah, our LCD TVs are also selling well."

"But plasma is clearer." Jiang Wanmeng said.

"Yes, plasma TVs are still ahead of LCD TVs in terms of technology, but don't forget that more and more companies are investing in LCD technology, so LCD technology will develop faster. There are some points that we can't think of. Others The company thought about it, and when we buy it and take it apart, we can get great inspiration. Because more companies invest in LCD TVs, the development speed of LCD TVs will be faster than that of plasma TVs.”

"But plasma TVs are more expensive and more profitable." Jiang Wanmeng retorted again.

"The high price is their big failure. Do you still remember those foreign brand laptops, why did they lose to Lianxiang in the end? The price of Lianxiang has a great advantage. At that time, in terms of performance, it was indeed a foreign company. The computer is better, but the performance is a little bit better, but the price is twice as bad!"

"Don't forget, the more high-tech value-added products, the faster the depreciation. Because the technology is constantly developing, and the speed of development is getting faster and faster. Just like at the beginning, the sales volume of Changhong's 21-inch color TV ranked first in the world. The world is leading. As a result, they focused on producing 21-inch TVs, while other companies bypassed the 21-inch market and directly made larger screens. In the end, Changhong suffered a lot, right?"

"Do you still remember, what was the price of a 21-inch color TV a few years ago? Now? 29-inch TVs are not so expensive anymore. Why? Because everyone's production capacity has increased, technology has innovated, costs have been reduced, and more and more companies produce Yes. The competition of many companies has led to the continuous decline in the price of TV sets. Now there are more and more companies making LCD TVs, but there are still only a few or even fewer companies making plasma TVs. They will definitely seize the high-end TV. One point, refuse to lower the price, and the price of LCD TVs will continue to drop.”

"Price has become the biggest competitiveness of LCD TVs. In fact, the gap between LCD TVs and plasma TVs is not particularly obvious. Plasma TVs cost more than 20,000 yuan, while LCD TVs only cost 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. It’s more than doubled. With that money, it’s enough to buy two TVs. Why don’t I hang one in the living room and one in the bedroom? Both are cheaper than that one!”

"An LCD TV with an angle of more than 120° will look blurry." Jiang Wanmeng mentioned a shortcoming.

"Will you watch TV at an angle of more than 120°? In fact, most families watch TV at an angle of no more than 30°. An angle of 60° is a bit strange. Moreover, the plasma TV is too big, and the minimum is 40 inches. The living room of an ordinary family is only as big as the bedroom. The 21-inch, 25-inch, 29-inch and 34-inch LCD TVs of ours give consumers more choices. And we can also launch 42-inch large color TVs , to snatch their market, but they cannot come to snatch our market space.”

"They are now equivalent to Changhong in the domestic TV field at that time, and we, other companies, will succeed or fail in the end. You also know it?"

"Then, Mr. Feng, we don't care about it?"

"It doesn't matter, let them toss about it. There will definitely be a series of advertising wars in the future. We still adopt the original strategy to make their advertising impossible. And we can increase our promotion efforts and even reduce prices!"

Anyway, the profits of LCD TVs are not low, and they will not lose money if they cut prices and promote them. As a result, the price gap with plasma TVs will be even greater. Except for a few people who are not short of money, middle-class families who want to buy flat-panel TVs will usually choose LCD TVs!

Plasma TVs are destined to be eliminated just like in the previous life. The core problem is that they control the technology, do not open it to the outside world, and even control production in order to seek higher profits. ( )
