But whether it's integrating supply chains or competing in process and production capabilities, even world-famous multinational groups like Sony and Philips are still little brothers to Qingtian.

In terms of the number of engineering and technical personnel with the smallest gap between the two sides, Xiaobawang Video Disc Player Factory has a total of 3,000 engineering and technical personnel.

And Sony and Philips combined have less than 3,000 engineering and technical personnel devoted to the field of video disc players.

Perhaps in terms of overall quality, Qingtian's engineering and technical personnel are not as good as Sony and Philips' engineering and technical personnel, but Qingtian's engineering and technical personnel work long hours.

At Sony and Philips, the usual working hours are five days and eight hours, and the working week is only 40 hours.

As for Qingtian, it is basically a seven-day twelve-hour system, and the working hours this week are eighty-four hours, which is twice that of Sony and Philips.

If you meet some scientific research and technology leaders with relatively heavy responsibilities, it is not surprising that they work a hundred hours a week.

It is precisely because of these terrifying working hours that the number of engineering and technical personnel at Xiaobawang Video Disc Factory, if calculated according to the standards of Sony and Philips, is basically equivalent to more than 5,000 people. It is the most invested by either Sony or Philips company.

About three times the number of people with DVD players!

Xiaobawang has invested three times the engineering and technical strength of Sony and Philips, so it is only normal to surpass them and take out the DVD player in advance.

And as I said just now, the gap between engineering and technical personnel is only the smallest gap between Sony and Philips and Qingtian.

The gap in the supply chain is even greater.

I have also introduced the flying geese model of Eastern Japan before. The entire model is based on enterprises from Eastern Japan as the leading goose, and then other countries are arranged in sequence according to their own positioning.

This is doomed that Dongwo cannot have a complete supply chain, even if all the technologies of these supplier companies are provided by Dongwo.

After all, if Dongwa itself had a complete supply chain, how could it be called the flying geese model, and what would be worth talking about.

It can be said that Sony's video disc player parts suppliers are spread throughout Asia, even including the coastal areas of China, and there are a large number of Sony parts supply companies.

But what about the Little Overlord?

Within twenty kilometers centered on Xiaobawang, there are more than 500 video disc player supplier companies. It can be said that in addition to chips, these supplier companies can provide Xiaobawang with all parts of the video disc player, including the movement.

and key components such as laser heads.

To put it very intuitively, if Sony wants a component to match its mass production work, it will take at least half a month from the time the order is placed on the phone to completion.

And this is the result of expedited shipping by air. If large quantities are shipped by sea, the completion time of the order will be at least one month.

As for Xiaobawang, within three days, the supplier drove over and delivered the parts.

Furthermore, the number of DVD players produced by Xiaobawang in recent years is basically seven or eight times that of Sony. This huge number has also accumulated rich experience for Xiaobawang's engineering and technical personnel and surrounding supply chain companies.

In fact, Sony is not that bad. At least compared with European and American companies like Philips, Sony's efficiency is already high.

If Philips wants to mass-produce video disc players, it will really have to purchase them globally.

All these factors combined, Xiaobawang develops DVD players faster than Sony, which is really not surprising.

If the predictions are not wrong, Sony can produce a qualified DVD player within three months, which is considered a great success.

"In any field where Qingtian is involved, Qingtian has become an existence that we can only look up to. This is a great enterprise created on the way to the rise of a great nation."

Kazuo Hirai sighed with a somewhat complicated expression.

Whether it is game consoles, repeaters, or DVD players, Sony can be said to have suffered a complete defeat. As for other Towa companies that died in the hands of Qingtian, there are many more, such as Fujitsu, Towa Electric, etc.

.

And did they really lose to Qingtian?

Yes, not entirely.

In his opinion, at least half of the reason for the failure of these Eastern Japanese enterprises was due to China's endowment.

In Towa, can they find engineering and technical talents who are willing to take only 20,000 yen per month and work more than 80 hours a week?

Impossible!

Maybe the working hours can be achieved, but the salary is absolutely impossible.

The average monthly salary of Japanese people is about 330,000 yen. For men, it is slightly higher at about 330,000 yen. For women, it is about 70% of that of men.

In other words, even the average monthly salary of an Eastern Japanese woman is basically equivalent to the average annual salary of these Chinese engineering and technical personnel.

Even a clerk at a Towa retail store who graduated from high school can earn 200,000 yen per job.

In China, these Qingtian engineering and technical personnel are already absolutely highly educated talents, ranking in the top 1% of China.

As a result, with this salary, how can Dongwo compare?

As for what to say, let alone ordinary employees with a monthly salary of less than 10,000 yen and good basic education and discipline.

A relatively younger average age, etc., a good and stable system, etc., these are some of China's unique advantages and endowments.

So when he got to know Qingtian and Huaxia, he had a vague feeling that the dragon that had dominated Asia for two thousand years had slowly opened his eyes.

Asia in the future twenty-first century will be China's Asia.

After hearing Kazuo Hirai's words, Edmund's expression moved slightly and he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh.

He wanted to defeat the Little Overlord DVD player to win more profits for the company, but now it seems that this can only be a wishful thinking.

Unless God favors him!

Just when Hu Zhibiao, Hirai Kazuo and Edmund were in mixed moods, Fang Chen came to the auditorium surrounded by Jin Zhijiang, Qin Shuguang and other overbearing presidents and vice presidents.

As soon as Fang Chen sat down, a reporter from the British BBC suddenly stood up and asked: "Director Fang, I would like to ask you a question. Whether you are the richest man in the world or the chairman of Qingtian Company, it seems that you are not

You should come to a launch conference of a subsidiary company's new products and be the keynote speaker. Do you have any special hobbies?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the field. Qingtian's employees and suppliers, as well as many Chinese reporters, immediately glared at the BBC reporter.

Especially those Chinese reporters were even more angry than Qingtian’s employees and suppliers!

This white-skinned pig of the BBC is simply trying to destroy their jobs!

After working in the Chinese press for so many years, how could they not know that whenever Fang Chen attends a Qingtian press conference, the next day's TV ratings and the number of readers buying newspapers will be extremely high.

If Fang Chen is so angry at Baipi Zhu's provocation and insult that he never comes to the press conference again, wouldn't it be their loss?

After all, adjectives like "special hobby" are not considered kind no matter how they sound.

Jin Zhijiang became even more furious and asked the security guards to drive the British reporter out.

He felt even more regretful in his heart. If he had known that this British reporter dared to speak so rudely, he would not have allowed these foreign reporters to attend this press conference.

Well, that’s right, in addition to the BBC, well-known foreign news media such as Time Magazine and the New York Times also attended this press conference.

When he received applications from these media two days ago, he didn't find anything strange at all. After all, Fang Chen was also a world-class figure. It was completely normal for Western media to be willing to come.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a fuss before it even started.

Hu Zhibiao and Edmund felt very relieved and wished they could send a big banner to the British reporter.

What he didn't expect was that Fang Chen waved his hand and stopped the security guard's actions.

Turning his head, Fang Chen looked up and down at the British reporter who was asking the question. The British reporter's hair instantly stood up. He felt as if he was being targeted by a tiger.

Although he knew that Fang Chen was the richest man in the world, and he also knew that provoking a rich man like this was extremely dangerous, but this was China after all, and it was a little different.

But Fang Chen's eyes told him that there seemed to be no difference.

In the West, almost everyone knows that you can scold politicians, prime ministers, presidents, and even kings.

Because these people cherish feathers and will not make any fuss about it with ordinary people like them.

But scolding the rich is different. There is a high probability that the consequences will be very miserable.

After all, these rich people don't need to cherish their feathers, and the law also gives them the right to protect their reputation. However, more importantly, these rich people have enough money and can afford lawyers to make you pay a heavy price.

Not to mention, the boss of News Corporation behind them is also a wealthy man.

As soon as your press release exposing the rich people is handed over to the editor-in-chief, it will be pressed down immediately.

If they know the truth, forget it. If they don't, they will have no choice but to get out, and no media will dare to accept them.

So generally speaking, they don't write about scandals about the rich.

Just when the British reporter was uneasy, Fang Chen flashed a chuckle and said: "If I remember correctly, before the press conference started, I did not arrange any questions for reporters. So, this British reporter,

You are a bit unruly and contrary to the traditional British gentlemanly manners. In other words, you are discrediting the British media and all British people!"

Hearing this, the British reporter suddenly turned pale. Fang Chen's hat was too big, so big that he could be slapped to death!

And as the world's richest man and an idol in the hearts of countless people, the lethality of Fang Chen's words is undoubtedly extremely serious!

To put it bluntly, if he still has any conscience as a journalist and as a British person, he should resign after returning to the UK.

Seeing the British reporter's face turn ashen, the smile on Fang Chen's lips became even stronger.

If a British journalist actually wants to stand out, he will have to bear the price of standing out!

This is also a warning to him, don't always want to make big news, what if he gets blown up!

"However, I believe that many friends, viewers in front of the TV, and readers of newspapers should be concerned about this question, so I think I can make an exception and answer it."

As soon as Fang Chen said these words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

In their opinion, Fang Chen should have already planned to kill the British reporter. Why did he suddenly turn around and do this?

"With my status and Qingtian's size, to be honest, I am indeed very busy and I probably won't be able to spare the time to host a product launch conference of the company."
