"General Manager Feng, Sony and Toshiba had joined the Plasma TV Alliance!" Jiang Wanmeng called Feng Yu in panic.
"Calm down, Old Jiang. Tell me slowly. What happened? "Feng Yu said nonchalantly.
Jiang Wanmeng told Feng Yu about the news. Sony and Toshiba had announced that they will join the Plasma TV Alliance set up by Panasonic and other companies to develop and market Plasma TV together.
They claimed that Plasma TV will be the first choice for home TV in the future. It will represent the highest quality of life. As for LCD TV and fluorescent TV, they will be obsolete within five years!
"Oh? What is the reaction of Samsung and other Korean companies? "Feng Yu asked.
"No reaction."
"Alright. Then there's no need to worry. That means Samsung and the other companies did not join this alliance. Currently, the Plasma TV standards and technologies are still in the hands of the Japanese companies. "
"General Manager Feng, this is why we should be worried."
"No. This is why we don't need to worry. I even want to shout 'This is great!' "
Jiang Wanmeng was stunned. General Manager Feng is being sarcastic? Others are in control of the standards and technologies, and you think it is great? Didn't you say that the standards are the core benefits of a product?
"You don't understand? Think about it. Why do we need to involve the European and US companies when we are setting up the DVD standards? Even some South Korean and Japanese companies are involved in this matter. This is because the more companies implement the standards, the faster the standards will be implemented. We are the ones who set the standards, and we will have the biggest advantage when it comes to upgrading the standards. We are the ones who set the standards, and we are the only ones who can do this. "
"But they had also set up the Plasma TV standards. But it will be difficult for them to implement it. That means those few Japanese companies are the ones implementing the standards. Now, the Korean, Taiwanese, and European companies are excluded from the standards, and their standards are only a way to push out their competitors. It will not help the industry. "
"Only when the industry is developed can it bring in the most benefits. For example, the size of the tires. Different cars have different tires sizes. But they are all following the same standard. Model standards. If this standard becomes a means to prevent others from entering the industry, then this type of tire will only be used by these few brands of cars, and everyone else will use other types of tires. What do you think will happen? "
Jiang Wanmeng said tentatively, "If there are only a few brands of cars using this model, then it will cause difficulties in repairing it. People will be unwilling to buy these models because of this. But if these cars are really good, they can still occupy the market, and even dominate this part of the market. "
"That's right, your analysis is correct. Panasonic, Sony, and the rest are doing the same. They want to monopolize the plasma TV market and squeeze out other companies. Panasonic and other companies are also doing this. "Panasonic" Our LCD TV is also selling well. "Feng Yu said.
"But plasma is clearer," Jiang Wanmeng said.
"Yes. That Plasma TV is Technologies is still better than LCD TV, Yu." Plasma TVs are Wei Wu Television is is is Yu. "Jin," Other companies had thought of some things that we did not think of, and we can get some inspiration from them when we buy them. This is because more companies are investing in LCD TVs, and LCD TVs will develop faster than Plasma TVs. "
"But Plasma TVs are more expensive, and the profits are higher." Jiang Wanmeng retorted.
"Their high prices are their biggest weakness. Do you still remember why those foreign brands of laptops lost to Lenovo? Lenovo has an advantage in terms of prices. At that time, in terms of performance, the foreign computers were indeed better, but the performance was slightly better, and the price was half the price! "
"Don't forget that the higher the value of a product, the faster it depreciates. Because technology was constantly developing, and the speed of development was getting faster and faster. Changhong's 21-inch color TV is the world's top TV seller. In the end, Changhong focused on producing 21-inch TVs, and other companies went around the 21-inch market to produce bigger screens. In the end, Changhong suffered. "
"Do you still remember the prices of 21-inch color TVs a few years ago? What about now? 29-inch TVs are not as expensive anymore. Why? This is because everyone's production capacity had increased, and technologies had improved. Their cost had lowered, and more companies are producing TVs. Many companies are competing against each other, and this caused the prices of TVs to drop. Now, more companies are producing LCD TVs, but there are only a few companies producing Plasma TVs. These companies will surely hold on to the high end of the market and refuse to lower their prices. This will lower the prices of LCD TVs. "
"Prices are the biggest competitive factor for LCD TVs. In fact, the difference between LCD TVs and Plasma TVs is not significant. Plasma TVs cost more than 20,000 RMB, and LCD TVs are only 7,000 to 8,000 RMB. The difference is more than double. With that amount of money, I can buy two TVs. Why don't I hang one in my living room and one in my bedroom? Both TVs will be cheaper than that one! "
"LCD TVs will look blurry when they are at an angle of more than 120 °." Jiang Wanmeng pointed out a flaw.
"Do you think it will be at an angle of more than 120 °? Most families will not watch TV at an angle of more than 30 °. 60 ° is weird. Also, Plasma TVs are too big. The smallest one is at least 40 inches, and the average family's living room and bedroom are even smaller. Our LCD TVs are 21 inches, 25 inches, 29 inches, and 34 inches, giving consumers more choices. Also, we can also introduce a 42 inches color TV to snatch their market share, and they will not be able to snatch our market share. "
"They are like Changhong in China, and we are the other companies. You should know who will win in the end, right?"
"Then, General Manager Feng, are we going to ignore them?"
"Forget it. Let them do what they want. There will be a series of advertising wars, and we will use our original strategy to stop them from doing their advertisements. We can also increase our marketing efforts and even lower our prices! "
Anyway, the profits from LCD TVs are not low, and they will not suffer any losses even if they lower their prices. This way, the price gap between LCD TVs and Plasma TVs will be even wider. Other than those who are rich, most middle-class families will choose LCD TVs!
Plasma TVs are destined to be eliminated, just like Feng Yu's previous life. The core problem is these companies are holding on to their technologies and not letting the outside world. They even control their production to seek higher profits.
