Seeing Li Fuzhen's serious appearance, Li Siwen took a breath of the smoke, took out a coin from his pocket and handed it to Li Fuzhen: "If you throw the head, it means we will win."
Lee Fuzhen looked at the coin with the subtle light and said softly: "What if it is a word?"
"Throw it again." Li Siwen finished speaking, snuffed out the cigarette, then stretched out and said, "It's very late, let's rest!"
Looking at Li Siwen's back as he left, Li Fuzhen felt thoughtful and showed a sweet smile after a moment.
Throw it again, the simple four words express Li Siwen's mentality of fighting against the earth, the sky, and fate.
"Thank you for your trust in me." Lee Fuzhen said to herself in the slightest voice.
On April 30, 1995, a news completely ignited the technological circle of beautiful countries. Datang Electronics actually purchased 1.5 million LCD panels from Motorola at ten times the price, and astronomical figures of 75 million US dollars. Who is not jealous of it?
"I didn't expect that except for the Chicago Economic News you invited to report, even the New York Post, Washington Post, and the Tribune of the United States were on the front page, and even the Wall Street Journal followed up on this matter. This is the largest newspaper in the United States."
In the suite, except for Zheng Jiayu and Chen Qiuyu going out to prepare for the contract, several others were at the dining table. Lu Shuhang was flipping through the newspaper and muttering: "I haven't seen you find so many media, and the contract has not been officially signed yet. How do these people know the news? Could it be that the boy named Luo Wen sold the news?"
"Of course not." Li Siwen's mouth raised slightly: "Can't you guess who wants the outside world to know this news more?"
Lu Shuhang was silent for two seconds and suddenly said, "You mean Masayoshi Son?"
"Yes, they will definitely promote this matter because it will make everyone think that Datang Technology is desperate to do such a crazy move. So according to the greed of the United States, other manufacturers will definitely sell our LCD screens at a higher price.
As long as this kind of environmental fluctuation is caused, it will inevitably bring devastating pressure to our funds. Moreover, with the increase in the cost of mp3, we can only increase the price. Now, although we are the only one in the world, the price increase will inevitably slow down the recovery of funds, which will form a vicious cycle. Once other manufacturers develop cheaper mp3s in a few months, it will be the time for us to collapse."
Li Siwen explained.
"In this way, isn't this a bad thing?" Lu Shuhang frowned: "But from your arrangements for Luo Wen yesterday, I think you hope that everyone will know about this."
"Of course, from Masayoshi Son's perspective, it's a bad thing. He only wants to target our Tang Dynasty, but I want to target the entire Japanese panel industry." Li Siwen smiled and took a sip of coffee: "As soon as this news comes out, what do you think the elites of the United States will have?"
"First of all, I want to sell the goods in my hands at a high price, and then go to Japan to buy goods at a low price. Secondly..." Lu Shuhang was slightly stunned: "I understand, such a profitable industry has been bought by Japan, and the United States will definitely not be convinced."
"That's right, the higher the price, the greater the temptation, but with these reports alone, I need to use my brother's relationship next." Li Siwen said.
"No problem, what are you asking me to do?" Lu Shuhang asked.
"Didn't you meet some friends in the media here? Let's pay a high price to find a few famous economic commentators, then find a few professors, arrange some newspapers for interviews, and ask them to comment on the Tang Dynasty's purchase of LCD panels ten times." Li Siwen said, taking out a piece of paper from his arms: "I have already written the specific content on it, mainly to let them advocate LCD panel technology and imagine the future prospects of LCD panels. Of course, we must make the whole United States realize the harm caused by Japan's monopoly on this technology. We must also arrange several commentators to mock the incompetence of the American leadership, and we must also study the origin of LCD technology in a beautiful country to arouse public anger."
After Li Siwen digged a few important pieces, he handed the paper to Lu Shuhang: "Brother, is this task OK?"
"No problem, this place is not like our China. Anyway, as long as you have money, those experts and professors dare to say anything. If the money is in place, they can scold the president." Lu Shuhang stuffed the note into his pocket and said with a smile: "After that, you guys are really hurt. With this momentum, if some experts come out to criticize this matter, I guess the face of technology companies across the United States will not be able to bear it."
"Is it hurt?" Li Siwen asked with a smile.
"It's very damaged." Before Lu Shuhang could speak, Li Fuzhen, who was standing beside him, even rolled her eyes wide: "I really want to break your head open and see what it is inside."
"Haha, don't watch the fun, I still need your help." Li Siwen looked at Li Fuzhen and said.
"What else can I help now?" Li Fuzhen said a little sad.
"Although you can't use Samsung's relationship for the time being, there should always be more media friends in Japan than me, right?" Li Siwen said.
"It's true that there are more than you, but why do you want to find the media on that side?" Li Fuzhen asked back.
"Once the news of high-priced LCD panels spreads in beautiful countries, coupled with the hype of some experts and professors, the price of LCD panels will inevitably be raised, and many companies that look to the future will also stock up at this critical moment. This is like the butterfly effect. Once the flames burn, many people will only follow the trend blindly and will not consider the cause of the matter.
We are the clearest in business. Many times, prices are rising because of an irrelevant rumor, not to mention that we really buy LCD panels at ten times the price." Li Siwen explained here and gave a slight pause: "So we have to use the price increase downstream to stimulate the price increase upstream."
"I understand. You want to use Japanese media to promote the news of the rising price of LCD panels so that those suppliers can also raise prices." Li Fuzhen said in shock: "Your trick is too powerful. In the past, it was only the problem with downstream suppliers that led to price increases. You actually made a reverse operation."
"We cannot control Japan, so we will use the beautiful country to influence Japan. Simply put, as long as the operation is fine, Japan will inevitably have a gust of LCD wind again, and some factories will inevitably put into production in large quantities. Then, as long as we are subject to beautiful country sanctions on Japan, it will inevitably collapse the entire Japanese industrial chain."
"Oh my god, my mind is already a little too hard to turn." Li Fuzhen clenched his pink fist and said seriously: "In other words, hype LCD panels and exaggerate the use of LCD to raise the price of LCDs, and use these to influence Japan's industrial chain. The larger the supply and demand chain, the more important the top leaders of the beautiful country will pay attention to it. Then it is likely that they will sanction Japan on a certain day. At that time, those companies that increase production will have to find another way out because of a large amount of inventory. The price of LCD panels will inevitably plummet, and even the entire industry will suffer a devastating blow. Am I right?"
"Absolutely." Li Siwen touched his chin and suddenly said, "Brother, I almost forgot. I will release some rumors through some tabloids, saying that Japan's economy is tight and the supply chain of LCD panels is tight. We need to take multiple measures to make the entire market chaotic."
"Interesting, really interesting. I'm already looking forward to the ending of this story." Lu Shuhang laughed.
"Brother, I can tell you clearly that the ending will definitely be more exciting than you think. No one who unites Son to deal with me will be able to do well."
After saying that, Li Siwen gently knocked on the table: "Everyone eats something, and only after eating is full can he have the energy to work."
The sparrow standing not far away was now following the call from the Black Fox and whispered: "Chief, don't worry, I think this kid is in good condition."
"Is that right? I thought he would be frowning." The black fox chuckled.
"It seems that everything is fine when he is talking. I can't explain clearly how he operates. Otherwise, I'll give him the phone?" asked Sparrow.
"No need, just protect him. Be careful of your identity." Black Fox reminded.
"Don't worry!" Sparrow nodded. Before he could speak, Li Siwen walked to the side and said calmly: "Little Sparrow, don't disclose my plan to others."
"You..." Sparrow wanted to say something, but found that Li Siwen had already entered the bathroom.
The black fox laughed loudly from the other end of the phone: "Little sparrow? Haha!"
"Leader, I'll apply to help me get out of my post as soon as possible. Can you ask Baisha to come and protect him? If it weren't for your explanation, I would like to kill him." Sparrow said gritting his teeth.
"I'm afraid it won't work. That boy Baisha can't stand him either. You'd better bear it!"
“Hey…hey…”

At Motorola headquarters, Robert looked at the newspapers today, his eyes were a little cold. Although the order of $75 million would make him a lot of money, news was flying all over the sky before the contract was officially signed, which obviously did not fit his style of doing things.
"What the hell is going on?" Robert asked, staring at his son William standing in front of him.
"Dad, I don't know either. I didn't talk about the media yesterday. Either it was the news released by Li Siwen or it was Masayoshi Son." William said with his head down.
"It would be fine if there was no problem in signing it, but wouldn't it be a joke if something went wrong?" Robert looked cold.
"There should be no problem. I called for convenience this morning, and Villa has already signed a contract with the other party." William said.
"In addition to optimizing the contract, you must get the payment for the goods this time as soon as possible." Robert said.
"Don't worry, I've already explained it." William glanced at his father and said proudly: "I'm doing this beautifully, right?"
"Hmph, you finally did something that satisfies me." Robert added: "But I heard from Vera that Li Siwen is not very friendly, right?"
"This stinky woman, why do you have everything..."
"Don't you tell me that shouldn't?" Robert asked back.
"It should." William immediately smiled: "I just don't want to affect your mood, after all, what they said is the truth."
Robert's face darkened: "Even if our failure on the LCD panel is a fact, it's not his turn to educate him."
"If he hadn't paid ten times the price, I wouldn't have spared him, but you said that everything should be based on profit in business. As long as it is in our interests, why bother what he said?" William explained.
Robert nodded: "You did a good job in this matter. Then again, not only Motorola is the only one in LCD technology, but the whole country is facing this problem."
"Who could have thought that a technology that was once so inconspicuous has now caused such a big impact on the market. From computers to electronic watches, to handheld consoles, game consoles, mobile phones, medical fields, automobile fields, military fields, etc., all need this thing." William reminded: "Dad, there will be a general election next year. Should you give advice to the above? The memory field was monopolized by Japan back then, and now the LCD field must not let the other party go easily.
And our flip phone will be available next year. Once there is a problem with the LCD screen, it will have a great impact on us."
"You're right, I'm considering this issue, too." Robert said after thinking for a few seconds: "You go out first, I'll call."
——
In the next few days, the situation became more and more intense, especially when some commentators and expert professors joined the battlefield, they pushed LCD panel technology directly to the forefront, completely tearing off the fig leaf of beautiful countries in this field.
As the topic fermented, more and more experts have joined this public opinion, and even some company executives have begun to complain to the media. After all, the United States has the best in the world, how can it tolerate Japanese technology riding on its neck? What's more, it's the technology that is "stealed" in beautiful countries.
Under the influence of the topic, more and more people realize the importance of LCD panels, especially Li Siwen's high-priced shopping. Some companies began to place orders with Japan in large quantities, and the market also overwhelmed the news of rising LCD prices. Soon, Japan responded, and the price of LCD panels rose directly.
Obviously, with Li Siwen's continuous "work", the market has been pried a corner, and this is just the beginning.
"Guess who called the hotel today?" Zheng Jiayu asked while pouring tea for Li Siwen.
"Who?" Li Siwen was curious.
"The head of ibm's sales department, the other party is also interested in asking us for cooperation, meaning that they also have a batch of LCD screens on hand, and they also claim that the treatment is better than Motorola." Zheng Jiayu paused: "But the price is also high, and the price is seventy US dollars per piece, which is twenty more expensive than Motorola. Obviously, he treats you as a sucker."
