Feng Yu went to the airport to send Mr. Tata and Mr. Tata to the plane. This cooperation with Tata Corporation is a success. Ratan Tata is also unhappy with those western companies, and he is impressed by Feng Yu's actions.
For example, India has the second highest number of software engineers in the world, and Hua Xia is only third. Some people even say that India has the highest number of software engineers in the world. This is because 40% of software engineers in Silicon Valley are Indians.
Ratan Tata was envious of Feng Yu for helping China's software industry to stand at the top and even won against Microsoft. Feng Yu was able to make China's software industry stand at the top.
Tata Consultancy is also one of the top IT companies in the world, and they are also trying to recall their Indians overseas. But the results are not as good as Lenovo Kingsoft.
Actually, Feng Yu also does not have any good ideas. This is because Hua Xia's situation is very different from India. Although both countries are developing in China and started to focus on education, there is a huge difference in their mindset.
India has obvious slums, and their efforts to restructure the slums are not as good as Hua Xia. India has a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and the caste system has been in place for many years. This is why many Indians are not willing to return to India, but many Hua Xia people are willing to return to their motherland.
Of course, Hua Xia's traditional values, such as returning to one's hometown when one's parents are still around, will also affect many Hua Xia people. After all, not all Hua Xia people can accept living in the US, especially those poor people from Hua Xia.
They want to move to the cities and not live in the suburbs after moving to the US. What's the difference between living in the countryside and living in Hua Xia? There were still a lot of people who liked to live in a bustling city.
Although Feng Yu did not give Ratan Tata any good suggestions, both parties still cooperated in the fields of electronics, telecommunications, software, internet, automobiles, food, etc.
For example, Feng Yu had promised that in the next 10 years, he would set up a few large-scale factories in India in a joint venture with the Tata Group.
But what he did not know was that Feng Yu thought that the average wage of Hua Xia would rise rapidly. The population would be in negative growth, and labor would no longer be cheap.
At that time, India was a good place to set up factories. The labor costs were low, and there were many people without jobs. It could effectively reduce the production costs of many products.
As for the Americas, Feng Yu chose Brazil. The economy of that place was also full of serious hidden dangers. Didn't it collapse before Feng Yu's rebirth?
In this life, Feng Yu saw no changes. In less than ten years, Brazil's economy would still collapse. At that time, Brazil's labor costs would be much lower, and it would become Feng Yu's largest factory center in the Americas.
In Europe, Feng Yu will still set up factories in Russia and other countries. Anyway, Feng Yu will not go to France to set up a factory.
In France, Feng Yu's workers were not satisfied and demanded three days of work and four days of rest per week. Feng Yu does not dare to invest in such a place as the labor costs would be astronomical.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Thomson Company had fallen into bankruptcy, and this had something to do with it. Thomson was now North America's biggest electronics manufacturer and Europe's top electronics manufacturer.
The labor costs had increased by 20%, and any other manufacturer would not be able to bear it.
But in this life, it might be different. As one of Feng Yu's most important allies, Feng Yu does not want to see this company go bankrupt.
Just look at the TV set-top box. Thomson was the world's market leader and had set many standards. Now, their cooperation with Wind & Rain Electronics was in full swing.
Thomson's DVD disc production was also the world's top, and they had deep cooperation with Wind & Rain Electronics. Also, Thomson had close cooperation with Changhong Electronics in the TV industry.
Feng Yu had reminded Thomson's Chairman that they were relying too much on the factory's efficiency.
Thomson's technology development in recent years had fallen behind, especially in the TV industry. They had taken the wrong path and focused on plasma TVs.
In the past, Thomson could rely on higher production efficiency to keep his costs low, and rely on strong sales channels and brand advantages to ensure profits.
Now, plasma TVs had shown signs of declining, and their growth had slowed down. LCD TVs with the same size were becoming more and more accepted by ordinary families.
Flat-Screen TVs of the same size cost more than 10,000 RMB, and the other cost only 5,000 RMB. There was not much of a difference, and how will consumers choose?
Furthermore, LCD TV manufacturers had started to claim that plasma TVs had high profits, and consumers will suffer losses. This made it harder for plasma TVs to sell.
In the flat-screen TV market, LCD TVs had occupied almost 50% of the market, and it is still increasing. Furthermore, LCD TVs are not only used for TVs, but also computer monitors.
Thomson had focused on plasma TVs in the past not only because plasma TVs are clearer, but also because plasma TVs are easier to mass produce than LCD TVs, and the cost of producing large-screen TVs is lower.
But now, the market has the highest demand for LCD TVs, and it is for small screens. Plasma TVs cannot meet the demand.
When you are still looking at 19-inch or 21-inch TVs, the market suddenly starts selling 42-inch TVs, and many people prefer 21-inch TVs.
This is because many people's houses are not that big, and they do not need such big screens. Many people feel dizzy when they look at the big screens.
The cost of plasma TVs is lower, but because of the clarity, the prices are higher. They are not wrong to say that plasma TVs have higher profits.
The technology to shrink the size of plasma TVs is more difficult than LCD TVs. LCD TVs are more widely used now, and the market share of plasma TVs will gradually shrink.
Thomson had chosen the wrong path, and they still have the chance to change. However, the investment required would be greater. But it will be too late for them to switch to LCD TVs after their country's labor laws are changed.
At that time, Thomson's advantage in production cost will be gone, and it might even become a disadvantage. At that time, Thomson will go bankrupt like Feng Yu in Feng Yu's previous life.
But after Feng Yu reminded Thomson, Thomson decided to be like Samsung and other companies. They will focus on LCD and plasma TVs. With Thomson's brand advantage and the support of Taihua Holdings and Philips, they can still make money.
There is another reason why Feng Yu is helping Thomson. He wants to let those Japanese companies that are using plasma technology suffer losses!
