Chapter 234: Notice from Panasonic

Xiao Ming did not bring a translator this time, but he could understand the other party ’s English.
People who look at these look and dress should be Europeans.
One of them had a national flag on his chest. Xiao Ming had a good look, the national flag of England, and an official.
Westerners' thinking has already fallen into the rivers and lakes, England and the United States are husband and wife, of course, the most reluctant to simply Xia Guo company to seize the business of the Chinese.
Veolia in their mouths is a world-renowned environmental company, including solids and wastewater treatment, and has operations in various countries around the world.
Among them, the business volume in Xia Guo is not small. Since Xia Guo held up the environmental protection banner a few years ago, many Xia Guo cities have signed cooperation agreements with Veolia to introduce Veolia technology for environmental protection.
Veolia's advanced technology was almost a monopoly before Pangu Technology was established.
When he signed the contract with Xia Guo, the cooperation method and price were set by himself. For many pollution treatments, Veolia charged Xia Guo twice or even three times the price of rice.
In addition, Veolia does not purchase Xia Guo products, but rather more expensive European products.
Even so, many cities in Xia Kingdom adopted the ppp method to cooperate with Veolia for the urban environment and their own careers, so that local governments owed a lot of debt.
Veolia's life in Xia Guo was very nourishing, and the profit last year was hundreds of millions of meters.
After the United Nations Environment Assembly has determined the sewage indicators and treatment rules this time, companies like Veolia will enter various countries and regions to help them deal with pollution.
Now, what the United Nations sees is lower cost and more effective Pangu technology, that is, stealing big orders from Veolia.
After the advent of the Swallowing II sewage treatment technology, Xiao Ming knew that sooner or later he would face-to-face with Veolia. I did not expect that the first head-to-head confrontation was not to grab contracts in major cities in Xia Kingdom, but at the United Nations Environment Assembly.
Xiao Ming is not afraid of competition or public opinion. Without paying any attention to the embarrassing westerner, Xiao Ming left the venue.
The subsequent meeting was when various countries were competing for their interests. Xiao Ming was not interested and returned to the hotel to rest.
Qian Yihe's team and the United Nations have reached a cooperation. The company will start from the Xia country cities and Indian industrial cities supported by the United Nations Environment Programme to help enterprises in these places complete the transformation and upgrading of sewage treatment.
After getting this report from Qian Yi, Xiao Ming felt a little embarrassed.
The cities that need the help of the United Nations Environment Program are the most polluted cities in the world. India will not say it. Xia Guo still has many cities on the list.
As a Xia Guo man, Xiao Ming really didn't know what to say.
Contracts will be signed in the next few days, and Xiao Ming and Qian Yi will go to the Panasonic headquarters in Osaka after meeting with the company's employees the next day.
Here is Panasonic's Battery Research Headquarters.
Nakamura, the current chairman of Panasonic Group, warmly received Xiao Ming and his party at the headquarters.
After a simple greeting and reaffirming his friendship with Xia, Nakamura introduced Xiao Ming to Panasonic's current business status.
Today's Panasonic is not the Panasonic of the last century. He already had the original Toyo Jumei Enterprise turned into an ordinary multinational company.
At the beginning, Panasonic's proudly home appliance products were basically no longer the main business scope of Panasonic, and it could be sold and sold and dissolved. The Sanyo brand's home appliance business was also acquired by Haier.
"Xia Guo's enterprises are really powerful!" Nakamura continued to improve this in his dialogue with Xiao Ming, but he also said: "Panasonic must abandon the home appliance manufacturing industry if it wants to develop. the road."
Nakamura did not explain it, but Xiao Ming also understood what was said, that is, Haier, Gree and other companies that Xia Guo is quite stubborn are actually copying the old road of Toyo companies such as Panasonic.
The glory created by Panasonic in the past, these companies are proud of the experience, the difficulties that Panasonic is facing today, Xia Guo's enterprises will certainly encounter in the future.
Panasonic's main business is now very broad, from new energy to basic chemicals, from semiconductors to artificial intelligence, and from the competitive consumer market to the commercial market, and the transformation from a product manufacturer to a system solution service provider.
There are two simplest examples.
First, starting in 2015, Panasonic's new energy batteries are the world's largest shipments each year, not only being used by Tesla and other new energy vehicle industries, but also by the Ministry of National Defense for military procurement. New energy has not become Panasonic's main economic growth point.
Don't look at Xia Guo people always say how stubborn our battery is, how many countries are exported to, the world's first. Sorry, the global recognition is still Panasonic.
Secondly, in the commercial field, Panasonic is developing rapidly, such as cooperating with Haidilao of Xia Guo to open smart hot pot restaurants and so on.
This cooperation involves a complete set of commercial intelligence systems, not one or two smart home appliances. One or two artificial intelligence images are enough to solve the problem, which is also the most lacking in Xiaguo enterprises at present.
Toyo's artificial intelligence technology has always been at the forefront of the world, and Panasonic will certainly not be absent.
Commercial cooperation has little exposure, but high profits and long cooperation cycles, which ordinary consumers cannot compare.
If you use Haier's washing machine, it may be replaced by Hisense in four or five years, but if you use Panasonic's entire commercial service system, unless your company goes bankrupt, you will continue to use Panasonic's follow-up services, which is Panasonic Clever.
A century-old enterprise has its ups and downs in the process of development, but he can live forever! This is the most worthwhile place for Xiaguo enterprises ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Nakamura said: "Our battery research and development department and basic chemical department are here, and the factories are in your Xiaguo and Southeast Asia and other places."
Qian Yi added: "There are many Panasonic factories in Tianshi, Yangcheng and other places that produce lithium batteries. Generally, Western countries and other countries place orders with Panasonic. Panasonic does design and research and development here, and production tasks are placed in Xia Kingdom. . "
Xia Guo, earn some hard labor and environmental pollution fees.
Panasonic hopes to cooperate with Pangu Technology, and Nakamura speaks very calmly: "The labor cost in Xia Guo is still lower than that of Toyo, and the battery is a polluting industry. Your environmental protection standards are not far from ours. I said this Then, I hope you don't mind. "
"Of course not." Xiao Ming said so, but he was very uncomfortable. Xia Guo has been developing for so many years. What attracts multinational companies is still not Xia Guo's technological foundation, but labor and environmental costs.
Xiao Ming also knows that Xia Guo is making improvements in this area, but it will take a long time to completely change Xia Guo's position at the end of the industry.
