After Li Da left, Wan Feng announced Gao Ping as the manager of the machine tool department, and at the same time started the research and development of ten-axis linkage machine tools, with the first batch of scientific research funds allocated 50 million yuan.
1995 was an important year for Nanwan Group.
This year the group will have many important inventions, but at the same time there will also be many troubles.
The first scientific research result was the LCD jointly developed with Jingdongfang.
On February 15, Jingdongfang announced in Beijing that it had successfully developed the first generation of linear liquid crystal displays with independent intellectual property rights.
Compared with traditional CRT, LCD has the advantages of small size, thin thickness, light weight, low energy consumption, low operating voltage, no radiation, no flicker and can be directly matched with CMOS integrated circuits.
After it was determined that it would initially be used for the display screen of Nanwan Group's upcoming 2G mobile phone.
Nanwan Group and Jingdongfang jointly invested in the research and development of LCD computer monitors, striving to commercialize computer monitors before 1997 to replace bulky CRT monitors.
After one year of operation last year, Jingdongfang, founded in 1994, sold a total of more than 33,000 monitors throughout the year, of which 30,000 were matched with Huaguang and Ideal Computer, and the remaining 3,000 were sold by itself.
The company achieved sales revenue of more than 130 million yuan and profits of 25 million yuan.
Jingdongfang finally turned things around.
Wang Desheng is well aware of the importance of technological research and development, and he firmly believes Wan Feng's statement that LCD will be the mainstream in the display equipment field in the future.
When Jingdongfang had just achieved food and clothing, it still invested 5 million to establish a research and development department together with Nanwan Group, and made every effort to promote the research and development of large-scale LCD screens.
Since 1995, China has entered a turbulent period. From 1995 to 2000, there were the Strait Crisis, the Embassy Incident, and the Galaxy Incident in 1993.
These three incidents are known as the three major humiliations suffered by China in the 1990s.
The only good thing was the return of Hunan and Hong Kong in 1997.
Although with the emergence of Wan Feng, China's military has made great progress compared with the same period in the previous life, it is still weak compared with the then-powerful United States and is not enough to confront the Western Alliance.
Shortly after the Spring Festival, Lin Lairong appeared in Nanwan with two businessmen whom Wan Feng did not know.
At the Hongying Hotel, Wan Feng met Lin Lairong and the guests she brought.
"Ms. Lin, I haven't seen you for a few years. Why do you look so happy? Have you found a new love?"
After hanging around in Shanghai for a few years, Tan Sheng seemed to have a new understanding of family status. After learning that people from Hunan and Hong Kong were very particular about matching social status, he decisively withdrew.
Now this guy is discussing marriage with a woman in Shanghai.
If he doesn't get married soon, he will be thirty years old. Not to mention having a son, he may even miss having a grandson.
Tan Sheng's decisive departure made Lin Lairong feel bad for a few days, but when she turned around, a new seed player appeared beside her. It was said that he was also the son of a second-rate wealthy family in Xianggang.
The slicked-back young man who appeared beside her this time was her new love.
Wan Feng has always had a bad impression of men wearing suits and with greasy hair and powdered faces, so he had an average impression of this young man named Pan Fengting.
The Pan family is also in the real estate business in Hunan and Hong Kong, and their net worth is said to be around 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, which makes this young master Pan a little arrogant.
Another man named Luo Dasheng, who was about forty years old, also had an arrogant attitude and seemed to be superior to others.
"This Mr. Luo Dasheng is the chairman of the board of directors of Xianggang Dasheng Technology Co., Ltd., and he's also in the technology industry."
Wan Feng shook hands with Luo Dasheng: "Nice to meet you."
From the moment they shook hands, Wan Feng noticed that the other party's attitude seemed lukewarm.
"What industry does Mr. Luo work in?" Wan Feng asked casually out of politeness.
"switch!"
Another switch manufacturer emerged. From the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, there were quite a lot of switch manufacturers in Hunan and Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, none of these people from Hunan and Hong Kong who lack scientific and technological skills have achieved any results in this industry. If they had worked hard on scientific research at that time, there would be no Huawei and Zhongxing in this industry.
The speculative character they developed in the colony meant that they could only engage in business to make a quick buck, and it was impossible for them to invest in technology.
This is not the case with just one or two people, but with all Hong Kong people. This is also the reason why no high-tech companies were born in Hunan and Hong Kong from the beginning of their prosperity in the 1980s to being surpassed by the mainland a few decades later.
"How many years has Mr. Luo been in the switch business? Which brand is Mr. Luo's?"
Following the other party's words, Wan Feng asked questions casually.
"A few years ago, we also set up a joint venture with a company from your mainland, but you mainlanders are not good enough. The company makes money but doesn't distribute dividends but instead wants to do scientific research. Isn't this incomprehensible?" Luo Dasheng's words seemed full of resentment.
Wan Feng blinked a few times. "Mr. Luo, your company is not called Vistar Semiconductor, right?"
Luo Dasheng was stunned: "Mr. Wan knows Vistar Semiconductor?"
Holy shit! This is such a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet one of the two short-sighted bosses in Xianggang here.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, China Star Communications was still called China Star Semiconductor. It was a joint venture established with two Hong Kong capitals, mainly engaged in multi-port digital programmable switches.
The mainland team initially developed a 500-port digital programmable switching system, earning extremely lucrative profits.
At this time, conflicts arose, and a fundamental conflict occurred between the two Hong Kong bosses and the Chinese side.
The two Hong Kong bosses wanted to divide the profits, but the mainland team insisted on using the profits for research and development.
In the end, the two sides completely fell out and parted ways.
The leader of the mainland, He Weigui, left with his team and established Zhongxing Weixiantong.
Wan Feng never thought that the Luo Dasheng in front of him was one of the two Hong Kong shareholders of China Star Semiconductor at that time.
"I've heard that their 500-port switch was very popular back then. What a shame! Why don't you continue to operate it?"
"Isn't the purpose of doing business to make money? Of course the profits should be shared. Why bother with R&D? Even if we continue to do R&D, can we ever catch up with foreigners? I think it's fine if foreigners are responsible for R&D and we are responsible for sales."
This is probably the sequelae left behind by the people of Hunan and Hong Kong after being colonized for more than a hundred years. Deep down, they believe that they are inferior to foreigners, and of course they will not engage in scientific research.
"Actually, Mr. Luo, you're wrong. Westerners are not smarter than us Chinese. We Chinese are also capable of developing great technologies."
Luo Dasheng sneered, "That's just what you mainlanders think, because you haven't seen the world. Mainland China's technology is a world away from that of foreigners."
I've met someone who is extremely pro-Western. How can this conversation continue?
