"Lao Wang, Sun Jian's ultimate goal is not Lenovo and us, but Compaq Computer, Dell Computer and IBM Computer. Lenovo Computer has lost its position as the number one domestic computer this time. Liu Zhuanzhi will definitely not be reconciled and wants to regain the domestically produced computer." The number one position in computers can only be achieved through drastic price cuts. If the two giants compete, we will also become a victim, and we must be prepared for drastic price cuts."
"Old Chen is right, we should prepare early."
In February 1997, Sugon Seiko LCD Company, which invested US$120 million, was put into production in Zhongguancun High-tech Park. It produces Seiko brand computer cRT monitors, computer LCD monitors, mobile phone LCD screens and watch LCD screens. In addition to meeting the needs of Shuguang Communications Group, In addition to the needs of Seiko Group and Great Wall Computer Group, they also supply the domestic market and are also exported to Japan, Southeast Asian countries and Hong Kong.
Due to the rapid development of the domestic computer and mobile phone industries, the supply of Seiko brand LCD monitors and LCD screens exceeded demand. In April 1998, with the approval of the board of directors and in accordance with the share capital and agreement, the capital was increased and the registered capital was increased to US$240 million. After two LCD monitor and two LCD screen production lines are put into operation in March this year, the total output of Seiko brand LCD monitors will reach 800,000 units, and the total output of Seiko brand LCD screens will reach 1.6 million units.
The gap in display technology between laptops and desktops is also narrowing. From the perspective of effective display area, the viewing area of the 14.1-inch LCD monitor is larger than the current mainstream 15-inch cRt monitor. From the perspective of display technology, the dot pitch of LCD2000 is up to The dot pitch of Lcd3000 is as small as 0.24mm, and the resolution can reach 1280x1024.
Director Shio Kimura and Deputy Director Yang Qihui of Sugon Seiko Liquid Crystal Research Institute led more than 120 researchers and cooperated with Kunpeng Software Research Institute, Guozhi Semiconductor Research Institute, bSEc Research Institute and Sugon Automation Research Institute, using optical systems and optical systems from CarlZeiss Group. The glass substrate of SchottGlaswerke AG is based on the second-generation tFt-Lcd technology studied by the former Seiko Liquid Crystal Research Institute. After more than 6 months of research, in March 1996, it successfully developed the second-generation tFt-Lcd patented technology using a 360mmx465mm substrate. .
Kimura Shio, Yang Qihui and others were not happy.
In December 1995, Sharp Corporation took the lead in successfully developing the fourth generation tFt-LCD patented technology and is applying for the company's invention patent.
In February 1996, Sharp, dtI, NEc and Fujitsu announced that they would invest heavily in the construction of the third generation tFT-LCD production line.
On behalf of Akebono Seiko LCD Company, Sun Jian awarded Akebono Seiko LCD Research Institute US$2 million, including US$300,000 for Kimura Shio and US$200,000 for Yang Qihui.
The company's board of directors decided that when Sugon Seiko Liquid Crystal Display Research Institute applies for the company's invention patent, it will entrust the second-generation tFt-Lcd technology with independent intellectual property rights to Sugon Automation Research Institute and Sugon Automation Corporation to research and produce new automated production lines. According to the agreement, Shuguang Seiko LCD Company holds 30% of the revenue generated from the patented technology of the automated production line.
Shuguang Automation Corporation will also research and produce second-generation LCD monitors and LCD screen production lines, and take the technology of developing and manufacturing tFt-LCD into its own hands. This was also Sun Jian's original intention to enter the costly LCD industry. main purpose.
The Akebono Seiko Liquid Crystal Display Research Institute was established, with Kimura Shino as the president and Yang Qihui as the vice president. It has jurisdiction over the Akebono Seiko Liquid Crystal Display Research Institute, the Akebono Seiko Liquid Crystal Display Research Institute, and the Akebono Seiko Liquid Crystal Display Research Institute. The total number of researchers expanded to 210 people, doubling the research capacity.
Sugon Seiko LCD Co., Ltd. invested US$20 million. Sugon Seiko LCD Research Institute continued to work closely with Kunpeng Software Research Institute, Guozhi Semiconductor Research Institute, bSEc Research Institute and Sugon Automation Research Institute to begin the development of the third generation tFT using a 550x670mm substrate. -LCD technology.
After Sugon Seiko Liquid Crystal Display Research Institute successfully developed the second-generation tFt-Lcd technology, the Japan Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Association liberalized the export of the second-generation tFt-Lcd patented technology and strictly restricted the supply of Japanese technical equipment and materials. Sugon Seiko Liquid Crystal Display Research Institute The needs of the third generation tFt-LCD technology being developed.
In June 1997, Sugon Automation Corporation spent 310 million yuan to produce a second-generation tFt-LCD production line and handed it over to Sugon Seiko Liquid Crystal Display Company. The country had the first second-generation tFt-LCD with independent intellectual property rights. LCD production line, followed by the second-generation LCD production line and the second-generation LCD display production line with independent intellectual property rights were put into use one after another.
In August 1997, four third-generation tFT-LCD production lines built by Sharp, dtI, NEc and Fujitsu were put into use one after another, and the price of large-size LCD displays dropped significantly in 1998.
At the end of 1998, South Korea adopted American technology and Taiwan adopted Japanese technology, investing heavily in building the third-generation tFT-LCD production line.

Beijing, Founder Computer Headquarters.
Feng Peiran, general manager of Founder Technology Computer Company, also received IDC's domestic computer statistics report. He was happy but also felt a lot of pressure. In 1998, Founder's total computer sales exceeded 280,000 units, including 266,000 desktops and 13,400 notebooks. Exceeding the target expected at the beginning of the year by 12%. Compared with 1997, Founder Computer's production and sales growth rate in 1998 exceeded 100%, which was much higher than the market growth level of about 60% in the same period. Founder Computer ranked fourth in the domestic personal computer market, but Tongguo Zhipai Computer and Lenovo Computer The distance from Great Wall Computer is getting farther and farther.
In 1998, Founder Computer completed its transformation from a distributor to a product manufacturer, and its rapid growth has attracted attention.
The United States evaluates Founder Computer as one of the "two most valuable domestic computer brands in the Chinese market."
Founder Computer's goal in 1999 is to sell 400,000 units and maintain its fourth position in the domestic PC market.

"Mr. Chen, I have carefully studied all the listed companies on the Penghu stock market on the computer and believe that these stocks have investment opportunities. You can enter the market to attract stocks at around 1100 points on the Shanghai stock market in about three months."
Before the Spring Festival, Sun Jian came to Shanghai. In addition to guiding the next work arrangements of Guozhi Computer Company and inspecting Sugon Communications Group, Guozhi Semiconductor Group and Taobao Electrical Appliances Group, he also went to htIc Investment Consulting Company to provide guidance.
After the Chinese New Year, General Manager Jin Weimin once again took the initiative to ask for help, believing that investment opportunities in the Shanghai Stock Exchange were coming.
After the Chinese New Year, Zhang Ming, general manager of htIc Investment Consulting Company, and Chen Changmin, general manager of htIc Investment Consulting Company, also took the initiative to apply. They both believed that investment opportunities to invest in the Shanghai Peng stock market were coming.
There are still nearly 4 months left for the "519 Bull Market" to start. Sun Jian originally planned to enter the market after the Chinese New Year, but considering that the investment funds were too large to avoid causing large fluctuations in the stock market, he decided to enter the market one month in advance to attract goods, so as not to be ignored by everyone. Take the initiative to ask for help.
