Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Everyone, the more unfavorable the situation is, the more we need to cheer up."

"You are all elites in the island's business community and should not be defeated by a small setback."

"We have defeated countless American companies. A small Dragon Country company has actually made you lose your fighting spirit. This is not what the elites of an island country should be like!!!"

Island country, Sony Group headquarters.

Seeing the dejected representatives of various companies in front of him, Group President Jiro Noguchi's face turned pale.

Northern Machinery Group's various home appliances have firmly controlled the US home appliance market.

Due to the double standard policy of the US government, the island country's home appliance exports have encountered an unprecedented cold winter.

Several large home appliance companies in the island country, led by Sony Group, have been hit hard by this cold winter.

The battle for the home appliance market has just ended.

One piece of bad news after another fell on everyone's head.

Same as the United States.

Many years ago, companies in the island nation began to develop their presence in the personal computer industry and the semiconductor field.

Even if the European countries united together, their strength in the fields of personal computers and semiconductors could not be rivaled by the island countries alone.

The only country that the island countries consider as an opponent is the United States.

Jiro Noda never dreamed of this.

Northern Machinery Group, which originally produced electrical appliances, suddenly began to enter the computer and semiconductor markets.

Possesses the ability to produce high-end motherboards.

last month.

A large number of overseas computer companies sent representatives to Longguo to discuss cooperation with Lin Kaifeng on ordering motherboards.

Not long after, they bought a large number of Longguang motherboards from the Northern Machinery Group.

Among them, BM Group purchased the largest quantity.

Well known.

BM Group is the world's largest computer company and is deeply tied to the US government.

BM Group has always had very strict standards when selecting partners and purchasing products.

They purchased 50,000 sets of Longguo motherboards from Lin Kaifeng at one time, which was enough to prove that the performance of Longguo motherboards exceeded that of computer motherboards of other companies at this stage.

In terms of semiconductor chips, Lin Kaifeng is also ahead of his peers.

This can be seen from the amount of photoresist exported by the island country.

In addition to home appliances, steel smelting, shipbuilding, semiconductors, electronic computers, and automobiles, the areas that island companies are proud of include.

There is also a materials business.

In the photoresist market, the island country accounts for the world's largest export share.

Whether it is the United States, Europe, or Dragon Country.

If they want to manufacture chips, they have to import photoresist from the island country.

A few years ago, Northern Machinery Group and some photoresist companies in the island country reached a long-term supply and marketing contract.

The year before last.

Overall, the amount of photoresist ordered by Northern Machinery Group is not particularly large.

By this year, orders from Dragon Country account for half of the island country's photoresist exports.

Toshiba Group representative Kobayashi Koji sighed and said, "Sir, it's not that we have lost our fighting spirit. The Northern Economic Group is too cunning. They cooperated with Best Buy Group to build a joint venture and deceived a large number of American people."

"Originally, we planned to shift the battlefield, sell home appliances to Longguo, buy out some Longguo companies, and let them fight among themselves. Lin Kaifeng invested in more than a dozen large-scale electrical appliance companies in advance."

"Northern Machinery Group has become a shareholder of these companies. We cannot dismantle their cooperation at all. Moreover, Northern Machinery Group does not exist alone. It has the support of the top leaders of Longguo behind it."

"With official support, Lin Kaifeng can get sufficient manpower and production materials. Any of these is beyond our reach."

Kobayashi Koji pointed out everyone's biggest concern.

When it comes to stealing commercial intelligence, island countries have always been very good at it.

The Northern Machinery Group emerged as a dark horse and snatched the home appliance business from right under the nose of the island country, not only because of the outstanding ability of the group's head Lin Kaifeng.

It is also related to the strong support from the Dragon Country government.

Several industrial ministries of Longguo have provided unprecedented assistance to the Northern Machinery Group.

If you need people, give them; if you need materials, give them.

The representative of another island company said dejectedly: "For Longguo, nothing is more important than earning foreign exchange through exports and increasing foreign exchange reserves. Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Group can earn a large amount of foreign exchange for Longguo every year. If you want to defeat Lin Kaifeng, you must first make Northern Machinery Group lose the official support of Longguo."

"That is impossible to do anyway."

The atmosphere at the scene took a sharp turn for the worse.

Northern Machinery Group is both a joint-stock enterprise and a disguised state-owned enterprise.

The top leaders of Longguo have put all their national strength into secretly supporting the development of Northern Machinery Group.

Even if the major home appliance companies in the island country form an alliance, it will be difficult to defeat them in the commercial market.

Noda Jiro smoked a cigarette in a unhappy mood.

If that were not the case, there would be no need for him to call the meeting.

The purpose of inviting representatives from other companies was not to complain, but to work together to find ways to bring down Lin Kaifeng.

decades ago.

The United States is the largest export market for the island nation's products.

Decades later, the Dragon Country, which opened its doors, has become the second target of the island nation's business community.

When a company develops to a certain level, it will encounter bottlenecks. This is a normal economic law.

The Dragon Country market has a consumer base of nearly one billion people and cheaper labor than other countries.

Moreover, Longguo workers are hardworking and persevering in endeavoring.

Compared to those overseas workers who are used to cheating.

Hiring Longguo people will not only save a lot of labor costs, but also greatly improve work efficiency.

No matter from which perspective we analyze it, the Dragon Country market is a business territory that island companies must enter.

But now, there is an obstacle standing in the way.

Without the Northern Machinery Group, it would be difficult for the island's home appliances and various types of goods to enter Longguo smoothly.

At the same time, an extremely secret message reached everyone.

In addition to operating home appliances and various industrial products, Northern Machinery Group is also secretly planning to enter the automotive market.

Although Lin Kaifeng has not revealed his idea of ​​entering the global automobile market, who can guarantee that he does not have such an idea now or in the future?

The Northern Machinery Group has grown from a small machinery factory to the largest commercial enterprise in Longguo and has a certain influence in the international field.

Time, just a few years...

If the Northern Machinery Group is given some more time to develop, the major island companies will be faced not with a roadblock but with a behemoth.

"Kawaguchi-kun, do you have something to say?"

Just as Jiro Noda was about to put out his cigarette, he noticed that one of the representatives opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

In an instant, countless eyes turned to Kawaguchi Fumio.

Kawaguchi Fumio slowly stood up and said, "Gentlemen, why must my family defeat Lin Kaifeng's group in the field of home appliances? To defeat our enemy, we can attack in another direction."

"The more businesses Northern Machinery Group operates, the more opportunities there will be for it to reveal flaws."

"Any industry requires a large number of upstream and downstream supporting companies, including the automotive industry, the home appliance industry and the semiconductor industry."

"Keep talking!"

Feeling that Kawaguchi Fumio might have come up with a brilliant idea, Noda Jiro encouraged him to speak out all his ideas.
