"Kodak Company probably is difficult to accept this condition." Boss Zhu felt a little surprised after hearing Fan Wubing's condition and said casually.

Admittedly, Kodak is facing a relatively big crisis now, but this does not mean that they have failed. As a package solution for the graphics and text impact processing business of old brands, Kodak has encountered relatively big difficulties in the film manufacturing industry, but its development in other aspects is very smooth. Now that he wants to fully acquire the Chinese film manufacturing industry, he just hopes to maintain the film industry for a few more years. It is not that Kodak can no longer maintain it without the Chinese market.

Although many people are blindly optimistic about the important **ig estimates of the Chinese market, Boss Zhu is still very clear in his heart. Therefore, when he heard about Fan Wubing's conditions, he did not feel that this was a very relaxed condition.

Fan Wubing replied, "Within three years, our Fan Investment Group only shared Kodak's research results in digital camera manufacturing technology and memory card manufacturing technology, and will not directly enter production, so it will not pose any threat to Kodak's market position."

After hearing this, Boss Zhu felt a little thoughtful, thinking that Fan Wubing’s idea was really weird, but he didn’t know what kind of reaction Kodak would make?

For a new technology, a technology that is constantly developing, it is very likely that infinite possibilities will be generated in three years. Nowadays, a technology that seems mature will become a yellow flower in three years, and will have no value anymore.

Moreover, the company that is developing digital camera technology is not just Kodak. I really can't figure out why Fan Wubing is willing to suffer such a loss to share Kodak's related technology, and promise not to use this technology to develop products for the time being?

After chatting for a while, the manager finally prepared the food. The meat and vegetables were very reasonable and it was pleasing to see the hag. The old Baifen brought it with him for thirty years and it was rare in the capital. The waiter who went to wash the photos of Shen Ying also ran back and showed it to Shen Ying with the photo taken.

Fan Wubing took two photos and looked at it. This one was printed out. The effect was still a bit simple. Although it was already a 1.6 million pixel digital camera and the lens was also professional, the clarity still needs to be improved. Although the effect is much better than ordinary point-and-shoot cameras, Fan Wubing, who is used to mature digital camera technology, seems to be a rookie-level digital camera.

"It's not bad to see Hag, but the long-distance imaging effect is not good. This. The printing effect is also unsatisfactory, but it's worth it." Fan Wubing judged it for a while and took two bills to tip the waiter.

"Thank you sir." After the waiter took the tip, he immediately smiled.

"Mr. Fan is really rich and powerful? The tips he gives are all US dollars worth a hundred yuan?" Boss Zhu joked when he saw this, "** I am pouring you two cups of tea, are you still tipping?"

Fan Wubing laughed and said, "If Boss Zhu takes action, it will be a sky-high price. But I don't have the courage, otherwise I will be able to find out and I will not be photographed."

Speaking of which, Fan Wubing gave a little more tips, and it was not unreasonable.

He has paid too much attention to during this period of time, and he didn't notice details such as digital camera technology. Therefore, when he came here to have dinner today, he accidentally encountered this incident. Although it may not be the best time to get digital cameras, it is imperative to start tracking the latest R&D technology and prepare for marketization.

After all, the market prospects of digital cameras and related products are extremely broad. Not only is the market itself very large, but it can also be transferred to mobile phones to form a leading advantage in its own industry. This process is not very difficult.

Of course, if Fan Wubing waits until the digital camera technology is mature and hopes to acquire ready-made technology and then develop new products, it is also OK, but the cost may be higher. From this perspective, obtain the current underlying development technology, and then continuously obtain the progress of Kodak within three years, and then transform it in combination with its own needs, the effect will be better.

Moreover, Fan Wubing also hopes that his institute can digest and absorb these digital technologies and develop independent intellectual property components for digital shooting technology used in mobile phones. In that case, the lasting competitiveness will be stronger.

Fan Wubing knows very well how good the development prospects of digital shooting technology will be in the next few years. If we only look at digital cameras, or the sales volume has not reached the level of desire in Fan Wubing's mind, but considering the widespread use of digital shooting technology in mobile phones, Fan Wubing is more excited.

Shen Ying was interested in digital cameras, so she asked Fan Wubing if there are any latest styles in China, or what level of the latest foreign products have reached? Can you get a few of them back and play with them?

Boss Zhu smiled and said, "Actually, this is very simple. Anyway, you have to negotiate with Kodak. Just ask them directly. It is guaranteed that it will be their most advanced product, or it will be given to you for nothing."

Fan Wubing replied, "No, it's not impossible, but if you discuss business later, it would be like you'd accept commercial bribes."

No matter what, Boss Zhu's secretary contacted Kodak Company as soon as possible. Kodak President Pei Xuede was about to fly to Beijing to perform in a near-rice event. After hearing that Fan Wubing was interested in participating in this project, he immediately expressed his intention to arrange a visit to China in advance and try to meet Fan Wubing early.

"Look, Kodak's positive**ig is very high, right?" Fan Wubing said with a smile, "My request is not an exaggeration at all."

In fact, he also knew very well that the reason why Kodak was not disgusted with this requirement was mainly because the sales of digital cameras are relatively small. With the sales of one million units this year, the actual operating income has not exceeded US$2 billion. More than a dozen large companies have divided the 2 billion US dollar market, and there is really not much fuel in the hands of them.

As for the future situation or what is going on, it is still impossible to see it now, but companies like Kodak that promote digital camera technology on the one hand and still maintain the leading advantages in traditional camera technology and image printing technology on the other hand, it is obviously impossible to regard digital camera technology as their only goal of hard work.

In fact, Hag Kodak's goal is very clear. Since everyone is busy building cameras and digital cameras, I will develop the underlying service support, digital printing graphics, texts, and other implementation technologies. You all have to build cameras, but it is impossible not to print them, right? Since you want to print, it is inseparable from our technical support.

Fan Wubing admires Kodak's idea very much. He also knows how big the digital printing and graphics market in China will be in the future, so he would rather not make any mistakes. He also hopes to obtain a certain proportion of shares through capital injection, which is considered to be a ride-sharing hag.

If you can reach a cooperation agreement with Kodak, then when the digital camera and mobile phone digital technology mature, you can easily use the service system formed by Kodak to provide value-added services for your mobile phone digital imaging technology. This market is larger and there is not much investment cost. Basic hag is pure profit.

After doing this, Boss Zhu became more interested and everyone started to eat. Boss Zhu also drank two glasses of wine with Fan Wubing, and chatted while eating.

While eating, Shen Ying looked through the photos. Suddenly she asked a question, "I remember Lekai film is also pretty good. Are they going to be acquired?"

Speaking of this question, Boss Zhu paused for a moment and replied, "Actually, many people have mentioned this question."

In the 1980s, Lekai, the leader in China's top film, seized the opportunity and transformed decisively in the face of market demand, developed my country's first generation of color e film, achieving the leap from top film to civilian photography consumables.

However, due to the large gap between the domestic financial e film industry and the world level, some domestic film factories at that time set a wave of comprehensive introduction, and Xiamen and Shantou photosensitive enterprises successively introduced two color roll production lines in full. Lekai insisted on the basis of independent development and introduced some of the technology for its own use.

Then the introduction wave did not revitalize China's photosensitive industry, Hag sea color coil failed to form a design scale, Xiamen and Shantou suffered losses for years, and Wuxi, Tianjin and other companies just barely maintained.

Only Lekai formed a good cycle mechanism that produces one generation, improves one generation, develops one generation, and pre-research one generation. In 1992, Lekai Jinbr100 was launched, and Lekai shortened the gap between himself and Kodak from 40 years to eight years. With his superb e-color performance and excellent independent technology, he was elected as the king of Chinese film.

By 1996, the output of Lekai Film Company's color e film, color e photo paper, color e**** film, and aerospace film respectively accounted for 100% of the total national output, and the market share reached

"However, the traditional photosensitive materials industry is a capital-technologically intensive industry, and its research and development costs are important indicators for measuring its technological leadership. In 1995, Kodak's R&D costs were 900 million US dollars, while Lekai's R&D costs were only 3 million US dollars during the same period, which was more than 300 times the difference between the two." Boss Zhu said to Fan Wubing with some emotion, "Although Lekai has greatly shortened the gap with Kodak, the technical differences caused by the gap in recent years are immeasurable. Before, Lekai was able to occupy such a large market share, a big factor was the issue of market opening and price factors at work. However, with the development of the economy, people's requirements for imaging technology continue to increase, Lekai's competitiveness will quickly decline. So I support a full-scale joint venture, but some people cannot see this point. They just simply oppose this cooperation proposal based on the words "national industry". It is really annoying."

Fan Wubing nodded. He knew very well that with the emergence of digital imaging technology, traditional photosensitive materials were facing a crisis of a total recession. The crisis of industrial replacement has made the gap between Lekai and Kodak increasingly larger, but when facing digital transformation, they seemed even more unable to come up with solutions.

Many domestic things, especially those in state-owned enterprises, are difficult to deal with. In the real history, Lekai intended to establish a digital imaging company for two thousand years. However, in 2001, Lekai Digital Imaging Co., Ltd.'s annual production of 20 million square meters of image materials is feasible. Only then was the National Planning Commission approved the preliminary design review meeting. The project demonstration of the Pure Paper HaG Talking was delayed for three years.

During this period, Kodak, Fuji, Konica, and AKF, all upgraded the old printing network to digital printing, and had long been involved in the manufacturing of digital cameras. At this time, Lekai, who lacked core technology and capital investment, had only had the opportunity to watch the fun.

Soon, Lekai was left far behind by his competitors. When Lekai finally cooperated with Epson to open his first digital laser printing store, Kodak's digital printing network service points had exceeded 1,800. The backwardness of digital printing bases slowed down the operation and development of Lekai's digital printing product chain, and the crown of the king finally fell into dust.

"Sometimes, it's not that you can do whatever you want. Just look at the investment in domestic R&D, you can determine whether the industry has development potential. Instead of leaving it here and slowly disappearing naturally, it's better to promote the market as soon as possible." Fan Wubing said with some emotion, "If the domestic enterprise system problem is not solved, R&D investment will not be increased. However, under the current situation, if you do not increase R&D investment, any industry will be backward. It's like domestic technology in general computers. There are still things that can be taken advantage of in the early 1980s, but now, it's impossible to grasp the tail of others. Power is sometimes easy to use, and sometimes it's not easy to use. The same is true for the system. In the past, or our system adapted to the development of productivity, but if we want to transfer to the market economy, the management mechanism of state-owned enterprises needs to change, otherwise it will only change more and more chaotic, and the worse it will be, and everyone will finish it together."

Shen Ying grabbed a piece of Matsutake mushroom, stuffed Fan Wubing's mouth, and then said, "Eat it quickly, this is a dinner party, not a system criticism meeting of state-owned enterprises."

Boss Zhu immediately slapped the table and laughed. Fan Wubing's mouth was stuffed with a piece of matsutake mushroom. Yuyan stopped but felt very uncomfortable.
