In Xiao Bai's memory, next year will be a magical year.Let's not talk about the subprime mortgage crisis that may break out in the United States, let's just say that the LCD panel industry will almost enter a weak cycle at that time.But Xiao Bai can't package himself as a prophetic emperor, he can only talk about things in the name of a price war, but the effect will be the same at that time.This time, Xiao Bai decided to take the initiative.It is not only necessary to pull giants such as S Star and LG into the water, but also to knock out the last hematopoietic function of the panel enterprises on the island."
Xiao Dong, the construction of this 8.5 generation line, with a total investment of 24.7 billion yuan, but in terms of funds, the pressure is huge."
An Ran looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but say."
I'll figure out a way to fund it, this project must be launched as soon as possible, and I think everyone here will regret missing this village."
Xiao Bai is also under pressure in the face of huge investment, but as long as he survives this round of recession, the future era of optoelectronics is an upstart in the industry on an equal footing with international giants such as S Star, LG, and Sharp, and even has the opportunity to reach the top.So this time he was determined to do a good job in this project.Subsequently, everyone listed the various difficulties that will be encountered one by one, and Xiao Bai has ways to deal with them.Times Optoelectronics (Holdings) Co., Ltd. 8.5 generation line construction project was finally approved.After the meeting.Xiao Bai and Shang Liancheng returned to the office together."
Mr.
Shang, the rest is up to you.The communication with H Fei City is handed over to Mr.
You, you specialize in the design plan, and we must start construction as soon as possible. ”Xiao Bai immediately gave Shang Lian a task, and he had already communicated with the members of the company's board of directors about this project, but there were no obstacles."
Okay, Xiao Dong, I promise to complete the task."
Shang Liancheng didn't say anything, since it was a matter that had already been decided, he only needed to consider the problem from a technical point of view.Xiao Bai was not verbose, and immediately sent Shang Liancheng away.Times Optoelectronics (Holdings) Co., Ltd. still has 16.8 billion yuan of idle funds on its account.Times Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. still owes the company a large amount of acquisition money, Xiao Bai coordinated it, and the listed company transferred another 3.2 billion yuan of funds, making up a full 20 billion yuan.These funds are the income obtained from the sale of the company's production line, which can just be used to invest in the 8.5 generation line of H Fei City.According to Xiao Bai's arrangement, Juvinson soon went to H Fei City to discuss the 8.5 generation line project with the local people.The local area attaches great importance to this project, and the 6th generation line of Times Optoelectronics was built here, which has had a profound impact on the local economic development and industrial layout.To this end, H Fertilizer sent a high-level negotiation team to follow Juvinson to Shencheng.Xiao Bai met with the other party's leader, and the two sides had a good conversation.In the end, H Fertilizer agreed to invest 5.7 billion yuan to participate in the 8.5 generation line project, and gave strong support in terms of land, taxation and bank loans.Subsequently, the two parties signed an investment agreement, with Times Optoelectronics (Holdings) Co., Ltd. investing 19 billion yuan, H Fertilizer investing 5.7 billion yuan, with a total investment of 24.7 billion yuan to jointly build this 8.5 generation TFT-LCD production line.Among them, Times Optoelectronics (Holdings) Co., Ltd. accounted for 88% of the shares, and H Fertilizer accounted for 12% of the shares.The construction period of the entire project is 14 months, and the project aims to be completed within one year.Shang Liancheng and his team worked overtime to complete the design plan and passed the review.Times Optoelectronics H fertilizer 8.5 generation line project officially broke ground after New Year's Day.Wang Bin, who was far away in the capital, sat in his office and was silent for a long time after getting the news.Although Dongfang Technology has a state-owned background, it has obviously been thrown far away by Times Optoelectronics in terms of financial support and technology research and development.S Star and LG are still enjoying the dividends of the industry boom cycle, and there are no plans to build new production lines for the time being.The most advanced production line of S Star is the 8th generation TFT-LCD production line, but it has not yet achieved mass production.Of course, there are reasons why S star is accustomed to counter-cyclical investment, but the more important reason is that S star involves a lot of energy in the OLED production line.This year, S-Star's latest 4.5-generation OLED production line has entered the trial operation stage, and it is expected to achieve large-scale mass production by the end of next year.In general, the most widely used at present is the TFT-LCD liquid crystal panel, and the OLED panel is only made by S Star, and it is only used in the company's own products.Therefore, the news of Times Optoelectronics' launch of the 8.5 generation TFT-LCD production line is very shocking for S Star, LG and SHARP.If the 8.5 generation line of Times Optoelectronics can be successfully completed, it will be the world's first 8.5 generation production line.This news has aroused the alarm of the world's giants, but for the panel companies on the island, it is tantamount to a dark cloud cover."
It's going to change!"
Among the panel companies on the island, there are also shrewd people.Since Times Optoelectronics and Dongfang Technology jointly acquired Hyundai's third-generation line, they have been constantly setting up obstacles.They have also been constantly stirring up trouble in the mainland with Japanese-funded enterprises, in a vain attempt to obstruct the construction of TFT-LCD production lines in the mainland, and have disrupted many projects in the name of joint ventures.But Times Optoelectronics is different.Times Optoelectronics has been based on a unique technical path from the very beginning, although the earliest technology was born in South Korea, but today, it has long been better than blue.The shock of the industry is not in the scope of Xiao Bai's consideration, and the investment of 24.7 billion yuan is in full place, and the project construction will not be troubled by funds.Shang Liancheng led the elite soldiers and strong generals to personally sit in H Fei, opening the curtain of the construction of H Fei's 8.5 generation TFT-LCD project."
Dong Xiao, Dean Zhou is here."
On this morning, Xiao Bai was sitting in the office on official business.Yang Yan knocked on the door and entered, followed by Zhou Siyi."
Dean Zhou, please be seated."
Xiao Bai is much more polite to Zhou Siyi than other high-level people of the times, and he is an elite who has made countless achievements in technology research and development, and is worthy of respect."
Xiao Dong, I don't have anything serious, I just want to come over and chat with you casually."
Zhou Siyi smiled, and then sat down on the sofa.Xiao Bai stopped what he was doing, walked to the other party's side and sat down, and Yang Yan immediately asked people to brew two cups of coffee and bring them over."
Dean Zhou, I originally planned to go to the research institute in the next two days.It's very encouraging that you continue to make new technological achievements. ”Xiao Bai attaches more and more importance to Zhou Siyi's work, and the Times Science and Technology Research Institute has become a new engine for the development of the Times Department and plays a pivotal role."
Xiao Dong, don't praise me, I don't need to praise me, whenever someone praises me, I have a headache.By the way, Mr.
Shang has talked to you about OLED display technology, right?
Personally, I think we should pay attention to it, and this should be the direction of development in the future.S Star has come to the forefront in this regard, and we can't afford to lag too far behind. ”Zhou Siyi came to Xiao Bai for this matter today.In fact, Shang Liancheng is not very keen on OLED display technology, Times Optoelectronics has just made a major breakthrough in TFT-LCD, and it seems that it is not too necessary to change to an unfamiliar track.Moreover, OLED is not currently accepted by everyone, and only S stars themselves are singing a one-man show.But Zhou Siyi feels that this technology has obvious advantages, and after a few years, it is really difficult to say how the market will change.He also saw Shang Liancheng's attitude, so he came to talk to Xiao Bai in person."
Dean Zhou, your idea is good, but at present, Times Optoelectronics is betting heavily on TFT-LCD, and has already invested a lot of money, so there is no way to be distracted for the time being.Otherwise, you will first explore OLED technology, and when the time is ripe, I will provide you with financial support to build a technical verification line. ”Of course, Xiao Bai knows very well that OLED display technology will shine in the post-smart machine era, but that is almost 5 to 8 years later.For the time being, Times Optoelectronics must win the commanding heights of TFT-LCD technology, so as to firmly grasp the international and domestic markets."
Xiao Dong, time waits for no one.Don't go later, let's strive for a 4.5 generation OLED technology verification line in Shencheng within half a year. ”Obviously, Zhou Siyi did not understand Xiao Bai's thoughts.He was very anxious and couldn't wait to start building the technical verification line now.But fortunately, he still has the senses and expands the time node to half a year."
Dean Zhou, even if we build this technical verification line, a series of technical problems have been solved.So let me ask you, to whom is the product sold?
”Xiao Bai couldn't help but be happy, he could understand Zhou Siyi's thoughts, but was the other party a little too impatient?"
Well, the technical verification line can wait.But we can't afford to delay our R&D work, and I need a Tokki evaporator, which is not too much, right?
”Zhou Siyi retreated and put forward a request that was difficult for Xiao Bai to refuse.In the production process of OLED screen panels, the evaporation process is the last process, and it is also the most critical step.The function of the evaporation machine is to evaporate the OLED organic light-emitting material to the substrate accurately, uniformly and controllably, so the evaporation machine is an indispensable equipment in the production process of OLED display.The more high-end the vacuum evaporation machine, the more accurate the error can be controlled.Xiao Bai is no stranger to this device, the principle of LCD and OLED display technology is public, and the difficulty lies in the realization of the manufacturing process.At present, Tokki is the only company in the world to produce this kind of evaporation machine (with an accuracy of 5 microns), and to be honest, if it were not for S Star's unremitting investment in OLED, this company might have collapsed.This kind of equipment is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, and the annual output is probably less than 10 units.Zhou Siyi is more optimistic about OLED display technology, and has contacted Tokki before, and the other party is very welcome to his purchase intention."
Dean Zhou, you wait!"
Suddenly, a past event in Xiao Bai's memory popped up, making him silent for a moment.If memory serves, after OLED display technology began to emerge in a few years, Tokki's evaporation machine was not only sold for 700 million yuan, but it was not available in the queue.
