Chapter 1586 No way to want technology!
After hearing what Wang Dongsheng said about the grievances he suffered during the joint venture with Dongwa Enterprises, Duan Yongping subconsciously bit his lips and glanced at Fang Chen.
China is now full of joint ventures. Naturally, he has heard a lot of things similar to what Wang Dongsheng is talking about now, but rarely can it be shown so clearly and completely in front of him like it is now.
To be honest, he was really glad that he was working at Qingtian and for Fang Chen.
After all, you must know that Qingtian not only has many overseas branches, but also there are countless subordinate companies composed purely of Japanese people, Americans, etc.
But discriminating against Chinese people?
Just kidding, the foreign employees of that overseas branch dare to discriminate against Chinese employees!
Even to put it in a bad way, the annual inspection system here at Huaxia Headquarters, the inspector scares the shit out of these overseas branches, as if there is a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, and the punishment is just
punishment.
In fact, some people in the company suggested that they should respect the employees of foreign branches. After all, they are indeed better than Huaxia in many places, but Fang Chen rejected them all.
Fang Chen said straightforwardly that since Qingtian is a Chinese company, these foreign employees must be subject to the rules of the Chinese company, and Fang Chen does not think that foreign employees are really of higher quality than Chinese employees.
In the early days, he was still a little unsure and not quite sure that what Fang Chen said was true.
But after a long period of observation, he found that if, in general, foreign employees, especially those in East-Japanese enterprises, did things in a strict manner, they were much better than those in China.
But if compared with Qingtian, even large Towa companies such as Toyota and Towa Electric are still inferior.
In other words, the excellence of foreign employees is based on the coercion of the system. They will do whatever the system requires them to do, and they will not be lazy and slippery. If the system does not require them, or a certain job does not fall within the scope of their responsibilities, they will not be able to do it.
It doesn't matter at all.
But Qingtian's employees are different. They will truly treat Qingtian as their home to maintain it. They are more subjective and proactive. On weekdays, they are more concerned about the entire team, workshop, branch factory, branch company, and even the whole team.
Qingtian's interests, and are more dedicated than these foreign employees.
And these characteristics can be well reflected in many Chinese enterprises, especially those old state-owned enterprises.
This is the rich history of China. The huge land brings to Chinese people a different concept from foreign countries.
This kind of concept, even a sense of mission, and a spirit of collectivism cannot appear in a country with a small territory and a shallow history.
It is precisely because he has always regarded those foreign branches and foreign employees as ordinary members of Qingtian, and even members who need to receive education, that he has never really felt this kind of discrimination and pain as he does now.
So now, he sincerely thanks Fang Chen for adhering to these beliefs and corporate culture.
Without paying attention to Duan Yongping's expression, Wang Dongsheng was still in the pain of joint venture with Dongwo Enterprises.
He said angrily: "If it were just these discriminations, we could still endure it. When we harden our wings and master our true skills, all discrimination and humiliation will completely disappear and cease to exist. But what is annoying is that these Japanese and Japanese enterprises
Basically, it is to interrupt the wings of Chinese enterprises to take off, limit Chinese enterprises to migrant workers and sweatshops forever, and use China's human and material resources to continuously contribute to Eastern and Japanese enterprises."
"What kind of cooperation is this? It's clearly the exploitation of slaves by slave owners!"
Take Yanjing Riduan Company, which was established in cooperation with Dongwa Rishen Company, as an example. From an industrial level, such a joint venture parts manufacturing enterprise came about after Dongwa Complete Machinery Company entered the Chinese market.
The main business is the supply of parts and components to Dongwa complete machine companies in China.
In order to maintain the foreign exchange balance, the country stipulates that the export of joint ventures cannot be less than 50%. Therefore, in addition to supplying the products of Yanjing Riduan Company to Dongwa companies in China, the rest of the products have been returned to Dongbo at low prices.
This immediately demonstrates Dongwa's control over the company, even though on the surface, the joint venture's shares are half owned by Dongwa and Huaxia.
Because all the sales targets of the joint venture company are Towa Rishin Company, Nishin Company naturally has crucial pricing power. It sets all the products produced by the joint venture company at a very low price, so that the joint venture company can
The company has almost no profit at all, and Yanjing Oriental Electronics Factory has no right to speak.
For enterprises, another very important thing - technology, is also in the hands of Rishin Company.
For example, the core of terminal production is molds. In the early days, these molds were all directly imported from Dongwa. There was no mention of handing over the technical drawings to the joint venture company for R&D and production by the joint venture company.
In addition, Rishen Company does not teach the mold technology to the trainees sent by Yanjing Dongfang Electronics Factory to Dongwa for internship, but only allows them to visit.
In this way, Yanjing Rishen Company is said to be a joint venture, but in fact it is just a processing plant of Rishen Company in China.
However, what is even more hateful is that after two years of cooperation, he felt that Rishin Company should be allowed to develop further, have its own core technology, have its own market, and get rid of Rishin Company's control.
As a result, Rishin Company actually disagreed, saying that production capacity was limited, even if he wanted to raise money and inject capital into a joint venture to increase production lines.
In the end, he slammed the table and said that if it didn't work, they would break up and live their own lives. Rishin Company finally relented and allowed him to develop Chinese customers and divided the ratio from 50-50 to 60-40.
.
In addition, Yanjing Panasonic is also a good example. Panasonic has more restrictions on joint ventures, and the structure of joint ventures is also more rigid.
All technology output by Panasonic to the joint venture is not free and requires technology transfer fees and royalties.
This is very interesting. Why should we establish a joint venture company? Isn't it just because we have taken a fancy to Panasonic's technology? The result is great. When the joint venture company uses Panasonic's technology, it actually has to pay technology transfer fees and royalties.
For example, a tube costs $1 or $1.5, etc., and the payment is a fixed proportion based on the value of the product.
And in addition to this, in order for Panasonic to completely lock down the technology, Yanjing Dongfang Electronics Factory only needs to organize production well. If there is a problem, Panasonic will send technical experts to solve it.
Through this method, Panasonic retains strong technology research and development, while the joint venture company does not use research and development at all. Moreover, Panasonic is very strict about knowledge products in the contract, and even directly states in the contract "I will be responsible for any technical problems."
” and the like.
As a result, how can the joint venture develop new technologies? All technical responsibilities and rights belong to Panasonic.
Even if China takes the initiative to develop new tube types, it will not work. The actual operation must be developed by Panasonic.
It can be said that the joint venture company has been established for ten years, and the joint venture company cannot design a new pipe by itself.
Moreover, since the joint venture with Panasonic began ten years ago, he discovered that Yanjing Oriental Electronics Factory, as an important shareholder of Yanjing Panasonic Company, occupies a quarter of the shares of Yanjing Panasonic Company, and was actually unable to submit a request to Yanjing Panasonic Company.
Supply.
This is really a bit of a deception. He is not even allowed to supply goods. What kind of shareholder is he?
Panasonic has said that it is not impossible for Yanjing Dongfang Electronics Factory to supply supplies to Yanjing Panasonic, but it must pass Panasonic's certification.
There is no doubt that it is very difficult to obtain this certification, and every time you want to supply a new variety, this new variety must go through certification from beginning to end.
Therefore, a joint venture can only obtain products, but not technology, nor can it establish its own system and expand independently beyond existing products.
Throughout the entire joint venture process, it was difficult for the Chinese company to have the opportunity to fully learn the technology, and it was impossible to do the so-called market exchange for technology. The foreign party even did not agree with the Chinese party to invest in independent technology, let alone the establishment of any R&D center.
In contrast, South Korea Enterprises' approach is very good. They only buy technology once, and after eating it, it is all their own.
Of course, it's not that China doesn't know that it would be better to buy technology, but if China wants to buy technology alone, these Western companies won't agree at all.
Well, that's right, not only the East and Japan, but also the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and almost the entire Western world do this.
Their technological restrictions on China mean that China can only obtain technology by opening up the market and reducing it to a sweatshop.
But what you need to know is that the reason why China can obtain technology does not mean that China has opened up its market and worked hard for these foreign companies, and they have transferred the technology to China.
But through this method, China gained a little bit of profit and capital accumulation, so that it could invest in research and development, and then it obtained its own technology.
From the beginning to the end, these foreign-funded enterprises never thought about obtaining technology from China.
"This is also the current situation of most domestic joint ventures."
Wang Dongsheng sighed softly and said helplessly.
Fang Chen and Duan Yong's faces suddenly became a little complicated.
After a long time, Fang Chen said leisurely: "There is no way, who made us owe too much debt? The West is already vigorously carrying out the first industrial revolution and entering modern life. We here
We are still in the feudal dynasty, so if you want to catch up now, you will naturally have to suffer some hardships, and one generation will suffer for several generations."
"But I believe that after several generations of Chinese people like this, this situation will not happen again, and China will once again become the Oriental dragon that dominates the world!"
Fang Chen said firmly.
Duan Yongping and Wang Dongsheng nodded silently.
"But since you know so much about the disadvantages of joint ventures and know that you can't learn technology from TPV through a joint venture, why do you want to set up a joint venture with TPV?" Fang Chen suddenly asked curiously.
"Actually, how should I put it..." Wang Dongsheng hesitated, glanced at Fang Chen, and then made up his mind: "Although I am very optimistic about the development of monitors in China and even the world, I feel that the way out for monitors is not
On CRT picture tubes, the development of computer monitors will not be the same as today’s televisions.”
"After all, based on people's habits of using computers, it is actually very difficult to obtain a better and greater visual enjoyment on the road of CRT monitors. After all, the weight of large-size CRT monitors is too much.
It’s too amazing. In comparison, I am more optimistic about the future development of LCD monitors..."
Speaking of this, Wang Dongsheng looked at Fang Chen and Duan Yongping, but what surprised him was that the wonder, disbelief, and disbelief he had imagined were not expressed on the faces of Fang Chen and Duan Yongping.
In this era when CRT monitors are popular, he is actually more optimistic about LCD monitors. In fact, it is a very deviant thing in itself. He is also ready to accept the discussions and even accusations from Fang Chen and Duan Yongping.
After all, even most of the middle- and high-level cadres of Yanjing Oriental Electronics Factory did not quite agree with his ideas and felt that his ideas were too radical.
But what he never expected was that the expressions on Fang Chen and Duan Yongping's faces were not only calm, but also calm. He even saw a little bit of relief from the smile on Fang Chen's mouth?
What the hell is this!
Seeing this, Duan Yongping couldn't help but rolled his eyes. It's just that LCD monitors will be the mainstream of computer monitors in the future. What's so surprising? Fang Chen didn't know how many times he had said this to him. His ears were numb.
It's almost a callus.
Wang Dongsheng is really rare and strange, making a lot of fuss.
"So, this joint venture with TPV is actually just a source of profits for you to maintain Yanjing Oriental Electronics Factory. What you want more is to wait until you have money to make LCD monitors, right?"
Fang Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Duan Yong was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Wang Dongsheng, laughing secretly in his heart, Wang Dongsheng actually beat Xiao Jiujiu like this.
But to be honest, given the conditions of Yanjing Oriental Electronics Factory, it would have cost a lot to establish a joint venture with others, but Wang Dongsheng only regarded it as a source of profit and did not think about how to develop the joint venture at all.
This is quite interesting as the Chinese companies in most joint ventures have completely different ideas.
And especially in this era when CRT monitors and televisions are so popular, Wang Dongsheng dares to completely abandon CRT monitors and develop LCD monitors. This courage is enough to make people admire him.
I don't know how high his state of mind is.
