Chapter 364 VCD War
“Since China cannot produce DVD chips now, we should control China’s chip acquisition channels.
At the same time, report to the United States to control the outflow of key materials for lithography equipment from China! Delay the research and development progress of their lithography equipment. "
"President, due to the Wassenaar Arrangement, China is controlled in terms of high technology and materials.
As long as we report this to the United States, the United States will definitely take it seriously and will definitely tighten control over lithography machines.”
"China's economic and technological development in recent years will soon have to be curbed."
"President, can we communicate with chip manufacturing companies and ask them to stop supplying chips to China?"
The president snorted, "That's unrealistic. There are so many companies making chips, and their interests are complicated. How can we handle them all?
However, I will work with other domestic companies to talk to Chinese chip procurement companies and ask them to control the speed of supplying chips to China. "
"President, even if China has mature sales channels and a complete industrial chain,
But if they don’t have chips, they can’t produce DVDs, and the entire market is still ours.”
The president nodded slightly, then remembered something and looked stern, "It is a remarkable thing that this Chinese company already has the ability to manufacture lithography machines.
You and the technical department should estimate how long it will take for China to mass produce DVD chips."
“President, from what I know about the development history of lithography machines, it took the company at least three years to develop from a 0.5-micron process to a 0.35-micron process.
China is now blocked from advanced technology by us, and I think it will last longer, no less than 3 years.
Of course, I will send China's latest chip to the technical department for analysis and give you a detailed report."
However, what the Japanese side did not know was that the Qingdao Research Center had actually started researching 1-micron lithography machines a year ago and had already reached the most critical step.
However, this step may take half a year or even a year.
At this time, Jiang Weimin, who was far away in Qingdao, had not yet realized the Japanese conspiracy, but with his understanding of foreign manufacturers from what happened to Huawei in his previous life,
Jiang Weimin had a vague premonition that Japan would definitely make some small moves.
Just in case, after all, Qingdao's lithography machine has not yet been manufactured, and China's DVD will be at a disadvantage in commercial competition with Japan.
Jiang Weimin formulated two strategic directions.
Jiang Weimin has always regarded the domestic market as his own private territory.
In the past two years, the company has mainly focused on exporting overseas and integrating the supply chain. The domestic market share of Bluebird VCD is not high.
Jiang Weimin, the product supply chain, set up a separate assembly company based on Foxconn's management philosophy.
At present, this assembly company is mainly responsible for the assembly of VCDs, various home appliances and pagers.
After this integration, production capacity and quality have been effectively controlled, and VCD production capacity can reach tens of millions of units.
In order to increase production capacity, Jiang Weimin decided to completely block the entry of foreign companies into China within two years.
Because Japanese DVDs will definitely enter the European and American markets first after they are launched, which gives China nearly two years to develop VCDs.
In two years, Jiang Weimin decided to reduce the cost of VCD and Super VCD to below that of Japanese companies, making Japanese companies think that the Chinese market was useless.
The raw materials and labor costs of DVD production in Japan are definitely higher than those in China. Taking into account the R&D costs, Jiang Weimin estimates that Japan's
The initial cost should be around 1200 RMB, with an exchange rate of 1:8 to the US dollar, which is less than two hundred US dollars.
Jiang Weimin plans to reduce the price of Super VCD to 999 yuan in two years. By then, Qingdao's lithography machine will surely be developed.
Of course, if Japan builds factories in China, the cost will definitely come down.
But when the time comes, we will build a factory in China to do the OEM! The spare parts provided by China are not as cheap, and the production cost will be higher than that in China.
Purchasing spare parts from China will only help China.
So two years later, the Chinese market will still be dominated by Qingdao.
Through the supply chain integration over the past two years, we are now producing chips and key components ourselves.
The cost of VCD has been controlled within 200 yuan, and that of super VCD within 300 yuan.
Unlike the later DVD patent fee, which was only more than 100 yuan, and the chip cost was more than 300 yuan.
At the same time, Jiang Weimin plans to compete for the CCTV bid and officially launch the Blue Bird brand, which will completely ignite the production of VCDs.
As for competing with Japanese companies overseas.
Jiang Weimin believes that once Japanese DVDs are launched, their prices will definitely be lower than those of Super VCDs.
Now the prices of VCDs and Super VCDs exported from Qingdao are relatively high, which can easily give Japan an opportunity to take advantage of.
Jiang Weimin decided to reduce the price of two models by $100 each, and VCD to $300 each, and give away $50 worth of home appliances or vouchers.
Super VCDs are $500 each, and come with a $100 small appliance or voucher.
The price of the DVD from Japan will be reduced by another 100 USD after it is released. Qingdao DVD will be released at the same time as the DVD from Japan, with the same price.
Since there is no independently produced chip, it is not suitable for large-scale promotion. It is enough to ensure the international status of Chinese VCD.
In this way, the price will be lowered, which will not only not give Japan too much price advantage, but will also indirectly promote China's small household appliances.
This is also the purpose of Jiang Weimin's price cut this time. On the one hand, it is to cope with the impact of Japanese DVDs on overseas VCDs.
On the other hand, it is to further promote China's small household appliances and increase their market share abroad.
China's small household appliances have developed quite well abroad in the past two years.
Although we have a complete production line and supporting enterprises, it still took a lot of time to research various electrical appliances.
But gradually, all kinds of electrical appliances were produced.
Thanks to Qingdao's well-established overseas channels and the price advantage of Chinese products, the export volume of small household appliances has been rising steadily in the past two years.
Air fryers, in particular, have been loved by overseas consumers since they were launched on the market.
With patents in hand, cheap labor, efficient production lines and complete overseas channels, Qingdao Publishing House set the overseas price at US$59.
Even if foreign companies obtain authorization from Qingdao, they cannot achieve the price of US$59.
Therefore, there is only one Chinese company selling air fryers abroad, which is a monopoly. It is estimated that if it continues to develop, it will be investigated for antitrust violations.
The air fryer can spread so quickly abroad.
It was mainly Jiang Weimin who arranged for Qingdao Publishing House to vigorously promote air fryers in all comic books and animations exported overseas.
Deliver the healthy living concept of air fryer to foreign consumers.
Driven by this series of measures, the sales of air fryers increased from the initial orders of only 10 units to 500 million units per year.
It can be said that the current success of the air fryer is closely related to the promotion of comics and animations.
