Chapter 294: Wanting to Catch and Sending

"Still haven't found out the news?!"

Japan's Toshiba company, Toshiba Semiconductor President Kawanishi Tsuyoshi asked Murakami Masatsugu, the market director in charge of Toshiba Semiconductor.

Kawanishi Tsuyoshi still "misses" Dongling Gao Ke. Since Dongling Gao Ke launched the digital cordless phone, Toshiba chips have plucked hundreds of millions of US dollars of wool by supplying phone chips to Shenzhou digital cordless phones.

Before, Toshiba did not directly enter the digital cordless phone industry, but by indirectly supplying chips and technology, it also made a lot of money.

But precisely because Kawanishi Tsuyoshi plucked too hard, continuously raising the price of phone chips for Shenzhou, it finally made Dongling Gao Ke completely unable to bear it, and invested huge R&D funds to form Dongxin Semiconductor, independently developing the mainland's first landline phone chip "Sirius"!

Before, Kawanishi Tsuyoshi had sworn that Toshiba would soon be able to regain the phone chip market and let Dongling Gao Ke come back and kneel to beg Toshiba Semiconductor to continue supplying goods.

But Kawanishi Tsuyoshi's bold words failed to become reality. Instead, Toshiba Semiconductor completely lost the global landline phone chip market!

From the moment Sirius was born, this phone chip, like its model name, was fighting everywhere in the entire phone industry.

When Dongling Gao Ke's Dongxin Semiconductor was able to mass-produce Sirius, the price of the entire landline phone chip industry kept falling like a water drift.

Now, not only domestic landline phone manufacturers, but even overseas landline phone manufacturers have begun to seek supply from Dongxin Semiconductor, because Dongxin Semiconductor's production cost is much lower than Toshiba's.

As an emerging semiconductor manufacturer, Dongxin Semiconductor now needs to survive, not to say how much it must earn. What Dongxin Semiconductor wants now is market share. While maintaining profit, it lays out goods as much as possible.

This led to the price war being fought, and Toshiba completely lost its advantage in the landline phone chip field. More than 41% of the global landline phone chip market has been grabbed by Dongxin Semiconductor, and this was originally the market share belonging to Toshiba Semiconductor chips!

If global landline phone chips can only be considered a niche track, adding up to only less than 1 billion US dollars in the market, with the price war, this market only has 700 or 800 million US dollars left. Toshiba Semiconductor lost it, and it was just a pain in the flesh, not to mention heartache.

Toshiba Semiconductor also has more profitable computer chips, storage chips, medical equipment chips, and chips for various industrial machinery equipment. Now Toshiba Semiconductor is a presence that calls out to Intel.

But the things after Dongling Gao Ke developed its own phone chip somewhat exceeded Kawanishi Tsuyoshi's expectations. Originally thought that losing the order for Shenzhou digital cordless phones was just an irrelevant small order, but unexpectedly, a PHS technology Little Smart mobile phone popped up!

Losing the digital cordless phone market, Kawanishi Tsuyoshi doesn't feel heartache, but not getting the Little Smart order really makes Kawanishi Tsuyoshi liver-pain!

The radio frequency chip currently carried by Little Smart is also developed by the team led by Ni Guangnan who developed the Sirius chip before. Now the patents and technology of PHS mobile phone chips are all in the hands of Dongxin Semiconductor. Whether Toshiba can produce Little Smart mobile phone chips is not up to it, but depends on Dongxin Semiconductor's face. But would Dongxin Semiconductor allow Toshiba to grab its rice bowl?!

The wind and water turn around. When people are unlucky, even drinking cold water will plug their teeth. For Toshiba now, it is like this. Since being cleaned up by America, it has been going smoothly!

Murakami Masatsugu could feel that his immediate superior was very concerned about Dongling Gao Ke, and asked somewhat puzzled, "President Kawanishi, if you are worried that Dongling Gao Ke's Dongxin Semiconductor will pose a threat to us, why authorize the flash memory technology to the other party?"

"Our Toshiba Semiconductor's storage chips and storage equipment occupy more than 50% of the global storage market. In the future, Dongling Gao Ke might even become our opponent. This is likely to raise a tiger to cause trouble!"

Hearing Murakami Masatsugu questioning his decision, in the Japanese workplace with strict hierarchy, Kawanishi Tsuyoshi felt that his authority was questioned, and his face sank immediately. Toshiba failed to defeat Dongxin, a small company that had been established for less than two years and grabbed its orders, which still made Kawanishi Tsuyoshi's prestige within the company fall.

"Are you afraid that Toshiba can't beat a small company like Dongxin that has been established for less than two years?!" Kawanishi Tsuyoshi stared at Murakami Masatsugu in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"I don't dare!"

Murakami Masatsugu was stared at until his scalp was numb, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Kawanishi Tsuyoshi again, "President Kawanishi's decision must have his own intentions, which cannot be speculated by others!"

Hearing this, Kawanishi Tsuyoshi snorted lightly and didn't stare at Murakami Masatsugu anymore.

"Flash memory technology is in our Toshiba's hands, but now there are many manufacturers with their own flash memory technology, although none are as advanced as our Toshiba's technology. Even if we don't authorize it to Dongling Gao Ke, it will get authorization from other companies, it's just a matter of time. By authorizing it ourselves, we can keep an eye on Dongling Gao Ke. No matter what Dongling Gao Ke wants to do, we can immediately make a reaction!"

Looking at Kawanishi Tsuyoshi, Murakami Masatsugu wanted to say something but stopped. He didn't know what to do if Dongling Gao Ke got the flash memory patent and played the same flower trick as the Little Smart mobile phone chip, registering all the patents and not letting Toshiba in?

But looking at Kawanishi Tsuyoshi, who was full of confidence and very confident in Toshiba's technology, Murakami Masatsugu swallowed the words behind him into his belly.

In the final analysis, Kawanishi Tsuyoshi has absolute confidence in Toshiba Semiconductor's technology. He believes that no matter what flower tricks Dongling Gao Ke plays, Toshiba can rely on technology to push it hard.

Including the current Little Smart mobile phone chip, Toshiba Semiconductor can also bypass Dongling Gao Ke's patent wall and develop its own Little Smart chip. It's just that the cost is too large. Being able to develop it doesn't mean it can be mass-produced.

But Kawanishi Tsuyoshi believes that Toshiba Semiconductor will not step on the same pit for the second time, and he doesn't believe that Dongling Gao Ke can play any more flower tricks.

In the tech industry, sometimes, it's not that whoever makes it first owns the industry. If it were like this, competition wouldn't exist. When a new industry appears, what it finally relies on is whose fist is hard enough and whose technology is the most advanced to occupy the industry.

The Little Smart mobile phone chip was grabbed by Dongling Gao Ke, but Kawanishi Tsuyoshi is confident that at the latest in two years, with the development of new technology and mobile phone functions, the PHS mobile phone radio frequency chip developed by Toshiba Semiconductor will definitely be able to occupy a place.

As for this time, what Dongling Gao Ke is preparing to play, Kawanishi Tsuyoshi is ready to keep a close eye on it, and even prepare to intercept it, relying on Toshiba Semiconductor's technology to pile it up and grab the market with Dongling Gao Ke to report the revenge. He played this trick called "wanting to catch and sending"!

"I heard that Dongling Gao Ke sent invitations for new product press conferences to many media and mainland tech companies. Maybe getting the flash memory patent is related to the products at this press conference!" Murakami Masatsugu said.

Kawanishi Tsuyoshi pondered for a while, then said decisively, "You fly to the mainland in person. No matter what Dongling Gao Ke takes out at this press conference, report it immediately!"

Product press conferences are still a fresh thing in the domestic tech industry. Previously, no company had held one. Dongling Gao Ke set a precedent this time.

In the past, domestic tech companies developed a product and didn't dare to invite a group of old six peers in the country to visit first. Most of them were mass-produced after development, and then advertised and sold everywhere.

Otherwise, believe it or not, if you invite those old six companies to visit today, maybe the pirated version will be sold before the genuine product tomorrow.

Feng Miaoyu of Yanjing Business Daily, who had reported on Dongling Gao Ke's first-hand news many times, also came to Hanxi with her newspaper colleague who carried a camera and acted as an assistant and bodyguard.

When preparing to go to the Dongling Gao Ke press conference site, Feng Miaoyu saw many peers. Among them, besides a group of local newspapers, she also heard from the reception staff of Dongling Gao Ke's logistics department that media reporters from Entrepreneur Daily, Economic Daily, Industrial and Commercial Daily, and Yangcheng Evening News had all come to participate.

These media are actually mostly like Yanjing Business Daily, coming with curiosity to see what Dongling Gao Ke is doing.

"Are you also a reporter here to participate in the Dongling Gao Ke press conference?"

Seeing a girl with short hair, a Nikon camera hanging around her neck, looking around, curious about everything around her, and wanting to take a few shots, Feng Miaoyu couldn't help but smile. She remembered when she first started working and came out to interview for the first time, she was almost the same as the girl in front of her.

Walking over, Feng Miaoyu asked the girl, and then reported her home, "Feng Miaoyu, reporter of Yanjing Business Daily!"

"Lu Shan!"

Lu Shan, who was holding a Nikon, heard Feng Miaoyu's words, was a bit flustered, and shook hands with Feng Miaoyu, "Hello, Sister Feng, I am Lu Shan of Science and Technology Digest!"

"Science and Technology Digest under Science and Technology Daily?" Hearing Lu Shan report her home, Feng Miaoyu couldn't help but ask.

Science and Technology Daily, just by hearing the name, knows the origin of this newspaper. It belongs to the official media of the tech industry and was jointly founded by the State Science and Technology Commission, the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Commission, the Mainland Academy of Sciences, and the Mainland Association for Science and Technology. The origin is quite large, and some big shots in the tech industry are also interviewed by Science and Technology Daily first.

"Still just an intern." Lu Shan said.

The person in charge of receiving media reporters from Dongling Gao Ke began to shout, asking Feng Miaoyu and other reporters to get on the bus to the venue.

Dongling Gao Ke now has a mature process and plan for dealing with media reporters, including bus pick-up, hotel accommodation, meal subsidies, and travel expenses. Although it is not the company that gives the most travel expenses, all the treatment that should be provided is provided. Like Feng Miaoyu and the others, they were invited to come this time, and the expenses were all borne by Dongling Gao Ke's logistics office.

"Is that the construction site of Dongfang Era Mall?"

On the bus, Lu Shan sat next to Feng Miaoyu and was full of curiosity about everything in Pingyang, "I saw in the report that this mall is going to invest several hundred million yuan!"

"More than that!"

Feng Miaoyu knew much more than Lu Shan, and coupled with the fact that her father had a small engineering team, she knew much more about the engineering industry than Lu Shan.

"Dongfang Era Mall, plus the warehousing and logistics center, cold chain center, and subsequent office buildings, community residences, and other projects, this project is much larger than what the media reported!"

These things were talked about by Feng Miaoyu's father when he was free. Feng Miaoyu's father traveled all over the country and had been to many places, and could be called well-informed, but when mentioning the Dongfang Era project, he couldn't help but be surprised.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 295 =====

These things were what Feng Miaoyu's father had discussed with her during their leisure time. Her father had traveled far and wide, running across many places across the country, and could be considered well-informed, but even he could not help but be astonished when mentioning the Oriental Era project.
