Blooming America

Chapter 795: Sweet potato or hot potato

"Purchase a TV production line...?"

When Catherine received the news, she was really taken aback.

If it was normal, Catherine would not care much about such news.

But what if such a news came from an unexpected place?

Seeing the news from Apple, Catherine was lost in thought.

what's going on?

Catherine thought about it carefully, as if there really seemed to be such a thing in "history"...

But that seems to be in 1973 and 1974, right?

It seems that the result of that time was still a failure. Finally, in 1979, China introduced a new production line from Japan.

By the way, the other party seems to have started purchasing in the United States from the beginning...

"Unfortunately they don't have much money."

Catherine would naturally not be unwilling to have business coming to the door, but Catherine can only regret if he talks about business with China.

China doesn't have much money now, and it doesn't seem to be very interesting if you want to make a fortune from them.

"A production line, from the beginning to the end, with a full budget, now it's probably tens of millions, right?"

Catherine's production lines are all in Taiwan, but there is no production line in the United States.

But the next thing may be a little troublesome.

If the other party wants to "inspect the goods", it is impossible to lead these people to Taiwan, right?

That's too embarrassing.

"Ah, this is really a hot potato... Elsa, you can ask Corning or other people to see who has the reason to do business with China."

At this time, I definitely can't refuse. Otherwise, the federal government must have trouble for itself.

The incomparable entanglement in this matter is not Catherine's style.

So she calmly introduced this plan to others.

Catherine is really not very keen on this 20 million profit.

This kind of business, if it is put in normal times, is not under Catherine's control, and Apple can solve it directly.

But now this problem is embarrassing.

Brand new production line. The price is more than one billion, and the other party will definitely not buy it. So probably it can only be a second-hand production line.

But Catherine's production is all carried out in Taiwan, and it is thanks to Catherine's leading role. Many factories have also moved their factories to foreign countries. Speaking of the recent economic downturn in the United States, and these nasty capitalists, there are also some reasons for it. Industrial flight has brought about a rise in the unemployment rate. In this case, there is no alternative.

"We can do it ourselves. And Kate, aren't you very interested in China? In my opinion, this should be a good time to deal with the Chinese. At this time, we will have a good relationship with them and wait until their domestic situation. Further relaxation will be very beneficial to us."

Elsa's analysis is completely okay.

But Catherine just shook her head.

"There are so many opportunities to make good friends, but this thing is trickier than you think... If it's an ordinary business, it's okay, but it's definitely not an'ordinary business'."

Catherine guessed that this transaction should not be far from the historical one.

Political struggle...

Although some people really want to do things. But the whole thing turned into a political issue in the end. At this time, the situation was more complicated than imagined. When faced with such a situation, Catherine felt that it would be better for herself to stay away from this matter a little bit. Catherine couldn't stand it anymore.

Catherine didn't want to play politics with the Chinese. She just wanted to make money. If she passed like a fool at this time, she would only become a tool for the other party to fight. Catherine said she didn't want to do anything like that.

In this case, I feel like a clown...

"I don't think we can negotiate this business this time."

Catherine said so honestly.

"The political situation in China is as complicated as ours, and maybe someone who is interested is using this thing behind the scenes to provoke some incidents. At this time, we rushed over stupidly, only to be treated as enemies by the other party. Face slap tool."

"Slap...? A curious metaphor, but a good image."

Catherine's new words make Elsa feel like a really good X...

"Of course."

Catherine yawned.

"For business talks, I naturally welcome it, but this time..."

Catherine still shook her head.

The calculations are different from what I imagined. History has changed, that is, profits of tens of millions. Although it is a pity to lose, this is originally an extra fortune, so Catherine didn't take it too seriously.

On the contrary, if this matter were put in her own plan, if she lost so much, Catherine would have been heartbroken, but because this matter itself is two completely different concepts, Catherine did not take it into account at the beginning. Take it to heart.

For extra money, although Catherine would fight for it, she never missed it. In this way, she can only do a business once, unless the amount can reach a huge amount of one billion or two billion. Otherwise, Catherine is Never take the other party's importance very seriously.

China is not the United States, and they are definitely not repeat customers.

Since the 1980s, the other party will start to produce its own color TV products. Changhong, Haier, etc. are all produced by themselves.

They actually buy their own technology to crack, not to use it.

If you want to stop them from continuing to do so, you can only continue to accelerate the development of technology. As long as the technology level is high enough, if you want to crack it, there is no way.

For example, in the 21st century, although China also has its own CPU, their CPUs are really not qualified if they want to compare with Intel.

Some people even said that if China can copy computer chips like Intel. They will definitely buy it, but compared to the counterfeit mobile phone market that has been criticized, such so-called "counterfeit CPUs" have no sound at all.

No way, such high technology is somewhat difficult even for the Chinese in the 21st century.

And such a thing is placed now. It has become a means for Catherine to deal with the cottage.

Catherine believes that if her products are put in China, the response may be good. But there will definitely be many people who have coveted it, and then secretly mōmō develops copycat products. There are so many manufacturers of such products. Some simply have three no products. It would be very difficult to sue, so if Catherine wants a hundred, she can simply develop technology that these people can't copy.

As long as the opponent can't copy it, you can only use your own. XP and N7, which have the highest market share in China in the 21st century, are all pirated goods in the final analysis. The most profitable in the market and the one who laughs behind the scenes without saying a word, is it Intel?

Intel and Nvidia, which are hardware manufacturers, are definitely the most black-hearted manufacturers in this market, but what can they do? You can't copy. There is no way to piracy, is it not for your own use?

Take off the Intel blue coat, the core inside. But it's all black...

Uh, Catherine didn't mean to herself...

"This matter makes Apple less mix it up. Tell the other party straightforwardly that our production lines are all in Taiwan. There is no way to see the goods, but we can introduce them to some other manufacturers. If they want to buy, they will find these. People are okay—well, tell them by the way, they can’t afford our products."

The technology of dazzling vision, Bitlique and the three-barrel technology are both high-end. Although the actual cost is not much worse, it is impossible to sell Catherine to these people at an ultra-low price.

Such behavior is breaking the rules of the game. At this time, Catherine has become the leader of the industry. If Catherine takes the lead in breaking the rules of the game at this time, it will only turn the entire industry into a mess. It is definitely not Catherine wants to see Arrived...

"Uh... Kate, would it be a bit too much in this case? Don't Chinese people like to be more euphemistic?"

It seems right. Catherine scratched her head: "Then tell them this. Our factory now produces all cloud system machines. This is no longer a traditional configuration. They bought such a production line and it was useless. They There is no way to modify its technology... As for Apple, we can act as an intermediary and introduce some other manufacturers to them..."

Well, this seems to be very fragrant, but Catherine has already thrown it out...

The dead daoists are not dead and poor. You are always treated as monkeys. Then let you be monkeys. Let’s watch the monkey show. If you don’t see the monkey show, then treat it as a favor...

...

A few days later, Wu Zukai received a reply from Apple.

But this reply surprised Mr. Wu Zukai a bit.

Cloud system?

What is this?

Although Japan already has a cloud system machine, the cloud system in Japan has been "castrated", and the degree of promotion is not high, so when Mr. Wu Zukai went to Japan, the relevant news was not very clear. .

At that time, many people compared cloud systems with IBM's personal computers.

——Although the two are not comparable at all.

The Japanese did not choose to be like Catherine. They started to transform the product from the root. The way they chose was to directly introduce a converter. Through this converter, the cloud system can be connected to the traditional TV. Japan People have huge interests in this area. Unlike the United States, which has declined or is about to disappear, the Japanese domestic TV industry is simply a pillar industry. It is not that simple to reform and improve at once.

However, this kind of converter method will cause the text to become blurred and flickering when surfing the Internet. When the meaning of the computer is far less than that of acting as a TV set, IBM's computer can already integrate these cloud systems. All spiked.

Mr. Wu Zukai heard about the cloud system and asked someone to inquire about it.

At this time, he was even more shocked.

The Americans actually connected all their TV sets to a supercomputer, and then deployed them through this supercomputer.

And this supercomputing. Able to perform amazing calculations, the maximum speed of this supercomputer can even reach 1 billion times per second!

When Mr. Wu Zukai heard the news, he was serious.

China also has its own computer, their best computer. It was the 109 internal machine developed by the Second Ministry of Machinery in 1967. These computers have participated in China's nuclear engineering and have even been called "contributory computers."

However, the average speed of such a supercomputer is only sub-optimal. At the peak, it was only 200,000 times... This gap is really amazing.

And Wu Zukai heard that. Such supercomputers are only used to play games and watch TV for others. This made him even more amazed.

It is a pity that such supercomputers are not used for scientific research.

Unlike the average Chinese, Mr. Wu Zukai's areas are relatively high-end. He also deals with the Fourth Machine Department and the Second Machine Department, and Wu Zukai also knows a little bit about this.

Apple is right. Even if their products are sold to China, they will definitely be useless.

But Apple was also very considerate and introduced several other companies to them. At this time, Wu Zukai saw a company named Corning.

Corning is more pure than Apple. Corning is a global leader in specialty glass and ceramic materials.

They are not the same as Apple, which is a downstream company. They are doing upstream products.

Now the special glass used in Apple's Dazzling TV is made by Corning.

——Xuanshi TV did not delist with the delisting of iTV. This product is now bundled with D. It has high-end audio and the most perfect picture display—but it does not provide ordinary cable TV output, but only provides differential output—it has become the favorite of audio-visual enthusiasts.

The latest dazzling TV has castrated off the TV function and only exists as a film and television machine. If there are any shortcomings, then according to Catherine’s idea, the current dazzling TV is not able to achieve the progressive scan 85HZ scanning mode, if you wait until that time, the current dazzling TV display The effect can really be said to be "perfect".

Corning also produces picture tubes. The Trinitron and Triple Shot technologies used by Catherine were also licensed to Corning. Of course, as for the dazzling technology of the complex, Catherine's exclusive.

Wu Zukai knows that Corning's history is sufficient for the word "brilliant."

In 1879, the first to invent and manufacture the glass bulb, which made Edison's invention a reality, was Corning.

In 1947, it was Corning that was the first to invent and manufacture television picture tubes on a large scale, bringing television to millions of households.

Corning did not keep up with the CPT research. As a result, Catherine, a historical speculator, came from behind and cheated to gain a new technology bridgehead, and then used a lot of patents to shut out companies like Corning.

To be honest, Mr. Wu Zukai was still satisfied with the introduction of Kang Ning.

Moreover, Chinese people like to have acquaintances when they do things. When Apple responds to each other, it must be so kind and kind, and it is almost impossible to say "Dear, give praise~".

After thinking that Apple is reliable, at this time the other party introduces another company, Mr. Wu Zukai also feels a more reliable feeling.

Mr. Wu Zukai himself was a little embarrassed even to see Apple's positive look.

——He didn't know that Catherine had already regarded Wu Zukai and his team as hot potatoes at this time, so she almost kicked the opponent away.

What Catherine hated the most was that it was not profitable to be exploited, and Catherine would never do anything for nothing.

Of course, you have to say that the money is sufficient after the fact, even if it is used, Catherine thinks that this matter is not impossible to consider...Well, everyone came out to mix, isn't it just for small money?

With a small amount of money, all problems are no longer a problem. The so-called ethics is not a matter of 100,000 yen...

Apple did not accept it. China National Technology Corporation, a subsidiary of the Fourth Machinery Department, had no choice but to make an inquiry with Corning in the US according to the other party’s introduction. In mid-May, China formally asked Corning for...

...

On the other hand, Corning was also quite excited after receiving the news.

At the beginning, Apple had already told them about this.

This is a business from China.

Unlike Motorola, which is regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by Catherine, Corning is one of Apple’s suppliers and is also regarded as a garbage dump by Catherine... No, it is regarded as a trustworthy ally, so at this time, Catherine told them this good thing.

At the beginning, they were a little baffling.

But when China made an inquiry to them ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Corning became ecstatic.

Regardless of China's poverty, China still has a population of hundreds of millions. It is only the first time that they have to introduce production lines. It is impossible for such a large country to have such a small number of people watching TV, right?

So this market is definitely huge.

Moreover, during the TV revolution in the United States, Corning’s previous TV production line still left two lines over there. Although it could be remodeled, it was still a bit uneconomical. At this time, China came over. This did not give them a sales backlog. Is there a chance for the product?

Regarding this incident in China, Corning’s board of directors immediately convened and began a series of discussions and consultations on this issue. They were confident that they wanted to do a business with China, and they even seemed to have seen the huge The market is beckoning to itself...
