The Black Technology Era of Xueba

Xiao Ming didn't bring a translation dog translator this time, but he could understand the other party's English.

Looking at the appearance and attire of these people, they should be Europeans.

One of them had a national flag on his chest, Xiao Ming had a good eye, it was the flag of England, and he was an official.

The thinking of Westerners has fallen into rivers and lakes. England and the United States are husband and wife. Of course, they are most reluctant to simply take the business of the American people.

Veolia in their mouths is a world-renowned environmental protection company, including solids treatment and sewage treatment, with operations in various countries around the world.

Among them, the business volume in Xiaguo is not small. Since Xiaguo raised the banner of environmental protection a few years ago, many Xiaguo cities have signed cooperation agreements with Veolia to introduce Veolia's technology for environmental protection.

Veolia's technology is advanced, and it was almost a monopoly before the establishment of Pangu Technology.

When he signed the contract with Xia Guo, the method of cooperation and the price were determined by himself. For the treatment of many pollutions, the price that Veolia charged Xia Guo was twice or even three times the same price in the United States.

And for the consumables for sewage treatment, Veolia definitely does not purchase Xia Guo's products, but purchases more expensive European products.

Even so, many cities in Xiaguo, for the sake of the urban environment and their careers, also adopted the ppp method to cooperate with Veolia, making the local government owe a lot of debt.

Veolia's life in Xia Guo was very moist, and last year's profit was hundreds of millions of meters.

After the United Nations Environment Assembly determines the sewage indicators and treatment rules this time, companies like Veolia will enter various countries and regions to help companies deal with pollution.

Well now, the United Nations is looking at the lower cost and more effective Pangu Technology, which is to steal the big order from Veolia.

After the advent of the Devour II sewage treatment technology, Xiao Ming knew that sooner or later he would compete face-to-face with Veolia. I didn't expect that the first head-to-head confrontation was not in the major cities of Xia Country to grab contracts, but in the United Nations Environment Assembly.

Xiao Ming is not afraid of competition or public opinion. Ignoring the embarrassed Westerner, Xiao Ming left the venue.

The following meeting was when various countries competed for their interests. Xiao Ming had no interest and went back to the hotel to rest.

Qian Yihe's team has reached a cooperation with the United Nations. The company will start from Xiaguo City and Indian Industrial City, which are supported by the United Nations Environment Program.

Help enterprises in these places complete the transformation and upgrading of sewage treatment.

After receiving this report from Qian Yi, Xiao Ming felt a little embarrassed.

Cities in need of UN Environment’s assistance are all the most polluted cities in the world, not to mention India, there are actually many cities in Xiaguo on the list.

As a native of Xia, Xiao Ming really didn't know what to say.

The contracts will be signed in the next few days, and Xiao Ming and Qian Yi will go to the Panasonic headquarters in Osaka after meeting with the company's employees the next day.

Here is Panasonic's battery research headquarters.

Nakamura, the current chairman of Panasonic Group, warmly received Xiao Ming and his party at the headquarters.

After a simple greeting and reaffirming his friendship with Xia Guo, Nakamura introduced Panasonic's current business situation to Xiao Ming.

Today's Panasonic is not the Panasonic of the last century. He has turned the original Oriental giant into an ordinary multinational company.

The home appliance products that Panasonic was proud of at the time were basically no longer the main business scope of Panasonic, and those that could be sold could be disbanded. Among them, the home appliance business of its Sanyo brand was also acquired by Haier.

"Xia Guo's company is really good!" Nakamura continued to improve this matter in the dialogue with Xiao Ming, but he also said: "Panasonic must also abandon the home appliance manufacturing industry if it wants to develop, which is a must for enterprise development. the road."

Nakamura didn't explain it clearly, but Xiao Ming also understood what was in the words, that is, Haier, Gree and other companies that Xia Guo are quite good at are actually copying the old ways of Panasonic and other Toyo companies in the last century.

The brilliance that Panasonic has created in the past, the experiences that these companies are proud of, and the difficulties Panasonic is facing today, Xia Guo's companies will certainly encounter in the future.

Panasonic's main business distribution is very wide now, from new energy to basic chemicals, from semiconductors to artificial intelligence, from the competitive consumer market to the commercial market, and from a product manufacturer to a system solution service provider.

The simplest examples are two.

First, since 2015, Panasonic's new energy battery has been the largest in the world in annual shipments, not only used by Tesla and other new energy vehicle industries, but also by the U.S. Department of Defense for military procurement. New energy has not become Panasonic's main economic growth point.

Don't look at the people in Xia who always say how awesome our BD batteries are, and how many countries are exported to, the world's first. I'm sorry, but Panasonic is more recognized globally.

Second, in the commercial field, Panasonic has developed rapidly, such as cooperating with Xia Guo's Haidilao to open a smart hot pot restaurant and so on.

This kind of cooperation involves a complete set of commercial intelligent systems, not one or two smart home appliances, but one or two artificial intelligence images can solve the problem, and it is also the most lacking in Xiaguo enterprises at present.

Toyo's artificial intelligence technology has always been at the forefront of the world, and of course Panasonic will not be absent.

Commercial cooperation has little exposure, but it has high profits and a long cooperation cycle, which is incomparable to ordinary consumers.

If you use Haier's washing machine, it may be replaced by Hisense in four or five years, but if you use Panasonic's entire commercial service system, unless your company goes bankrupt, you will always use Panasonic's follow-up service, which is Panasonic's Smart.

A century-old enterprise has its ups and downs in the process of development, but it can survive forever! This is where Xiaguo Enterprise is most worthy of reference.

Nakamura said: "Our battery research and development department and basic chemical department are here, and the factory is in your Xia country and Southeast Asia."

Qian Yi added: "There are many Panasonic factories in Tianshi, Yangcheng and other places, all of which produce lithium batteries. Generally, Western countries and other countries place orders with Panasonic, and Panasonic does design and research and development, and the production task is placed in Xia Guo. ."

Xia Guo, just earn some labor costs and environmental pollution costs.

Panasonic hopes to cooperate with Pangu Technology, and Nakamura said calmly: "The labor cost in Xia Guo is still lower than that of Toyo, and batteries are a polluting industry. Your environmental protection standards are still far from ours. I say this I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not." Xiao Ming said so, but his heart was very uncomfortable. Xia Guo has developed for so many years, but the most attractive thing for multinational companies is still not Xia Guo's scientific and technological foundation, but labor and environmental costs.

Xiao Ming also knows that Xia Guo is making improvements in this regard, but it will take a long time to completely change Xia Guo's position at the end of the industrial and technological system.
