Chapter 1560 Ally Layout

Feng Yu personally went to the airport to send the two Mr. Tatas to the plane. The cooperation with the Tata Group this time was very successful. It turned out that Ladan Tata also had a lot of resentment towards those European and American companies, and he admired Feng Yu's series of actions very much.

For example, among the software engineer practitioners in the world, Indians are the second largest, and Chinese people can only rank third. Some people even say that perhaps Indians have the most software engineers in the world, because 40% of the software engineers in Silicon Valley are Indians.

Feng Yu can make Huaxia's software industry stand at the top directly, beat Microsoft, and win, which makes Ladan? Tata envious.

They, Tata Consulting, are also one of the top IT companies in the world. They are also trying to recall Indians abroad, but the effect is far from even thinking about Yinshan.

In fact, Feng Yu has no good solution for this, because the national conditions of China are still very different from those of India. Although both are developing countries with large populations, and although they are beginning to attach importance to education, there is a huge gap in concepts.

India has obvious slums, and the intensity of transformation is far inferior to that of China. The gap between the rich and the poor in India is even greater, and the class system has even been retained for many years. This is why many Indians are unwilling to return to India, but many Chinese are willing to return to the motherland.

Of course, traditional Chinese thoughts such as local conditions, return of wealth and honor, and parents not traveling far away have also influenced many Chinese people. After all, not all Chinese people can accept the kind of life in the United States.

Especially those poor Chinese people, they want to go to the city more, instead of living in the suburbs after arriving in the United States, what is the difference between them living in the countryside in China? There are still many people who like to live in a bustling city.

Although Feng Yu didn't give good advice to the order, the two parties have carried out various cooperation in electronics, communication, software, network, automobile, daily chemical, food and many other aspects.

For example, Feng Yu promised that in the next ten years, he will establish several large-scale joint ventures with the Tata Group in India, etc., which made Ladan very happy.

But he didn't expect that it was Feng Yu's belief that China's per capita wages would rise rapidly, the population would experience negative growth, and labor would no longer be cheap.

At that time, India was a good place to build factories, with low labor costs and many people without jobs, which could effectively reduce the production costs of many products.

As for America, Feng Yu chose Brazil. In that place, the economy was also full of serious hidden dangers. Didn't it collapse before Feng Yu was reborn.

In this life, Feng Yu doesn’t see much change, so Brazil’s economy will still collapse within ten years.

At that time, Brazil's labor costs will be much lower, and it will become Feng Yu's largest factory center in the Americas.

In Europe, factories are still mainly built in Russia, and then they are targeting countries such as the UK. Anyway, Feng Yu will not go to France to build factories.

In France, the two-week break can be changed to three-week break, and the workers are still not satisfied. They are required to work three days a week and rest four days. Feng Yu dare not invest in such a place. The labor cost will definitely scare people to death. .

In the previous life, Thomson Company was defeated and even went bankrupt, which was not unrelated to this. The current Thomson is still the largest electrical appliance manufacturer and seller in North America and the top electrical appliance manufacturer and seller in Europe.

The labor cost has soared by 20%, which is unbearable for any manufacturing company.

But in this life, there may be some differences, at least as one of Feng Yu's most important allies, Feng Yu doesn't want to see this company go bankrupt.

As for TV set-top boxes, Thomson, as the leader in the world market and the maker of various standards, is now cooperating with Fengyu Electric in full swing.

In addition, Thomson's DVD disc output is also the first in the world, and it has a deep cooperation with Fengyu Electronics. In terms of TV, we work closely with Changhong.

Feng Yu has already reminded Thomson's chairman that they rely too much on factory efficiency.

Thomson's technology research and development in recent years has been a bit outdated, especially in TVs, they have embarked on the wrong path and focused on plasma TVs.

Thomson used to be able to rely on higher production efficiency to keep its own costs low, and rely on strong sales channels and brand advantages to ensure profits.

Now the plasma color TV has shown a decline, and the growth rate has slowed down. The same light, thin, and large-screen LCD TVs have become more and more accepted by ordinary families.

Flat-panel TVs of the same size cost more than 10,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan each. Usually, the difference is not that big. How would ordinary consumers choose?

In addition, LCD TV manufacturers are beginning to claim that the profits of plasma TVs are super high, and consumers suffer, making plasma TVs even more difficult.

In the flat-panel TV market, the sales volume of LCD TVs has accounted for nearly 50% and is still increasing. Not to mention, LCD panels are not just TVs, but also computer monitors.

The reason why Thomson focused on plasma at the beginning was not only because plasma was clearer, but also because plasma was simpler than LCD when it was mass-produced, and the cost of producing large-screen TVs was lower.

However, the market for LCD panels with the largest demand is LCD monitors, which have small screens, and this plasma can't do it at all.

Just like when you are still watching 19-inch and 21-inch TVs, 42-inch TVs suddenly start to be sold in the market, and there is no middle size, so many people would rather choose 21-inch TVs.

Because many people's houses are not that big now, and they don't need such a big screen at all. In many people's eyes, watching a big screen makes them dizzy.

Obviously, the cost of plasma is lower on large-screen TVs, but because of clearer and other reasons, the price is higher. It is true that they have higher profits.

The technical difficulty of shrinking plasma screens is much higher than that of expanding LCD screens. The application of LCD panels is now more widespread, and it is doomed that the market share of plasma screens will gradually shrink.

Thomson chose the wrong route, and now there is a chance to change it. However, the investment required is greater. But if they wait until their country's labor laws change before they want to switch to LCD panels, it will be too late.

At that time, Thomson, who relied heavily on the advantage of production cost, would lose his advantage, and even become a disadvantage in this aspect. At that time, Thomson would really embark on the old path of bankruptcy in his previous life.

However, after being reminded by Feng Yu, Thomson decided to walk on two legs like the Four Star Group and others. They do both LCD and plasma. With their brand advantages of Thomson and the technical support of Taihua Holdings and Philips, They still make money.

There is another important reason why Feng Yu helped Thomson so much, and that is to let those companies in the island country that insist on plasma suffer another loss!
