Chapter 1253: Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai

The same conversation soon followed in Toshiba, Canon, and Panasonic.
Everyone is excited about the new technology that Tan Zhenhua throws out, but every one also has a headache with Tan Zhenhua's exchange terms.
The conditions he proposed are too troublesome-whoever can give him polypropylene or polyethylene microporous membrane technology, he will authorize the patent for lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, this authorization is not only free, but also It will be exclusive to the Wa country within 5 years!
To be more specific, the enterprise that has won this authorization will be able to exclude all Japanese competitors within 5 years!
This temptation is really too great. In 5 years, companies that have been authorized enough to obtain a near-monopoly dominance in this industry, and latecomers will have to face towering barriers in technology, cost and market!
In other words, latecomers are either forced to choose to use the products produced by the authorized company in their own products and accept the profit exploitation of the other party, or they have to spend a huge price to step into an industry that is being pushed up by the other party. Barriers to entry.
Not to mention, the performance advantages of lithium-ion secondary batteries are extremely obvious. In the eyes of these leading companies engaged in electronics, especially consumer electronics, they will inevitably become a trend in the future, which means huge market opportunities!
So this time the authorization must be striven for.
However, the polymer film microporous technology that Tan Zhenhua wants is not in the hands of these companies specially selected by Tan Zhenhua. Sony, Canon, Toshiba, and Panasonic, the main businesses of these four companies are the manufacturing and sales of electronic products. Strictly speaking, they are not only battery users, but also battery producers, but the complex supply chain composition of modern industrial products determines that they can never be the manufacturers of every part.
Polymer membranes obviously belong to a sub-branch in the petrochemical field. In this segment, the two Japanese state-owned enterprises can be called global industry leaders, "Tonen Chemical" and "Asahi Kasei Industry." .
Speaking of it, the social structure of the Japanese Kingdom has many similarities with China. The two are in the same East Asian cultural circle. Their history and culture are intertwined in most historical periods. Therefore, when dealing with problems, people’s The way of thinking is also very similar. For example, when Tan Zhenhua put forward this "patent authorization bidding plan", the four "shortlisted companies" naturally began to "group together" according to their respective camps.
Does the company still have a camp?
Of course there is, in the Japanese country, the division of "camps" between enterprises is traditional, and there are very strict organizations to divide the "camps", and therefore also formed a unique corporate culture and organizational form of the country-chaebol .
A brief introduction to the "chaebol" system of the Japanese nation: This is a unique system among Japanese enterprises. It has a long heritage and its history can be traced back hundreds of years from today. Its characteristics can be briefly summarized as: Shareholding is a consortium that "takes capital as a link" and aims at mutual promotion of business.
The fulcrums of these consortia are basically big banks or financial institutions. They generally have a family with a long heritage as the core. They share shares with each other, and coordinate their actions through the "manager council" organized by senior officials in various enterprises. Support each other when encountering difficulties and unanimously when encountering competition.
The so-called "six chaebols" that have the greatest impact on the country are the Mitsubishi Foundation, the Fuji Foundation, the Mitsui Foundation, the Sumitomo Foundation, the Sanhe Foundation, and the Quanyin Foundation.
Together, these six consortia control more than 60% of the country's total assets; more than 55% of total capital; more than 60% of sales; and more than 20% of employees, showing the depth of their influence on the country.
In order to prevent book friends from talking about Qianzhiyu hydrology, we will not introduce the background of these six consortiums and their subsidiaries in detail. Anyway, the Japanese brands you know are almost exhausted. If you are interested, you can search on the Internet. Here only introduce the respective ownership of the four
enterprise shortlisted
delineated by Tan Zhenhua.
Canon belongs to the Fuji Consortium, Panasonic belongs to the Sumitomo Consortium, and Sony and Toshiba belong to the Mitsui Consortium.
Under this premise, Sony and Toshiba immediately reached an agreement, unanimously at gunpoint, vowing to expel Canon and Panasonic from competitors first.
Seeing this, the classmates may understand why when Tan Zhenhua was preparing to make a highlight at CES, why Akio Morita agreed to Masaichi Sawa and stood for him together-these two were originally in the same group.
Moreover, Sony and Toshiba had a great advantage in this patent licensing battle, because among the two leading polymer microporous membrane companies in Japan, "Toran Chemical" belongs to the Mitsui Consortium!
In fact, the so-called "Tonen Chemical" originally belonged to the "Mitsui Consortium" and the petrochemical department of "Mitsui & Co., Ltd." was independently operated by the vest!
Of course, Canon and Panasonic will not be willing to get out of the game easily. They also acted immediately, coordinated their positions, and immediately organized an alliance across the three major consortia-Canon's Fuji Consortium and Of course, the Sumitomo Foundation to which Panasonic belongs is on the list, and the other new entrant must be the Quangin Foundation to which "Asahi Kasei" belongs.
As a result, the Four Kingdoms Fight quickly evolved into a two-hero fight for hegemony.
Young Master Tan Er became the judge sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
This result is naturally what the second young master loves to hear, and full market competition can allow consumers to get the greatest benefits. Tan Er said that as a melon-eater, it is the best to see what people are pushing...
But the final result is actually obvious. Although the tripartite alliance formed by the Fuji Foundation, Sumitomo Foundation, and Perkin Foundation seems to be powerful, it is a very troublesome thing to coordinate the distribution of interests of all parties, so it was Mitsui in the end. The consortium moved forward. After internal coordination, they quickly reached an agreement: After obtaining the patent for the lithium battery, Sony and Toshiba will form a joint venture company to perform the production tasks of the product, each accounting for 40% Mitsui & Co., Ltd. owns the other 20% of the shares, and the polymer diaphragm will be supplied by "Tonen Chemical". In this way, the interests of the parties have reached an agreement; and "Tonen Chemical" will assign to Tan Zhenhua Huaxia Enterprise authorizes the production technology of polymer microporous membranes. The cost of this technology transfer will be borne by the newly established lithium-ion battery manufacturer, and Donglian Chemical will receive technology transfer compensation from the additional premium on product sales.
As for the "Batumi" regulations, um, the regulations are dead, and people live, right? Polymer membranes can not only be used for high-tech products such as molecular sieves. Isn't the greenhouse used in agricultural production also this thing? The same goes for plastic bags and plastic wrap, right? The transfer of membrane microporous technology is a little bit troublesome, but it is not impossible to imagine. Can we export the previous generation technology that followed the regulations of "Batumi" to China? It just happens to protect the technology of "Tonen Chemical" Leading advantage, as for the export name, um, the idea of ​​exporting a raw material production line of medical masks to China is a good idea...
