Chapter 432 Red, yellow and green go first, blue is pinched!
The whole process went relatively smoothly, but it took a lot of time. At that time, the plane could not fly directly to Hong Kong Island as the range was not enough, so it had to transfer at Zang San. I don’t know if Boss Lou had diarrhea, and it also took some effort to get into Hong Kong Island.
So the White Ridge Electronics Show closed on the 11th, and even though he flew all the way to Hong Kong Island, it still took him two weeks.
Gao Zhendong received a call and made an appointment with his father-in-law to go there on Sunday.
On Saturday afternoon, Gao Zhendong took a leave of absence and rushed to Beijing Second Hospital to pick up Lou Xiao'e, and he did not miss the dinner he had scheduled with Lin Lianwei in the evening.
Lou Xiao'e was very happy to know that her brother had returned. In fact, it had not been that long since he left the country, as Lou Shouxing had sent his sister home.
Early on Sunday morning, contrary to the usual practice of Gao Zhendong getting up earlier than Lou Xiaoe on Sunday mornings, Gao Zhendong was woken up by Lou Xiaoe.
The two of them finished their breakfast as quickly as possible, got in the car sent by the Lou family and went there, which was considered a break from the norm.
As soon as she entered the door, Lou's mother came to greet her, took Lou Xiao'e in her arms and looked at her for a long time, feeling a little distressed.
"Look at me, I've gotten a lot darker, but I haven't lost that much weight."
Lou Xiao'e hugged her mother and comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. Zhendong has arrangements. The work I'm responsible for at school is relatively easy. The other students in charge of construction are really tired. This dark spot is due to military training. Don't worry, the training will soon be over."
Hearing that Gao Zhendong had already made arrangements, Lou's mother felt a little relieved. Since her son-in-law had made arrangements, it seemed that the situation was already the best.
Father Lou didn't think so. This little bit of hardship was nothing. Besides, with Gao Zhendong around, how much hardship could they endure?
"Don't worry, with Zhendong here, there won't be any problems."
After Father Lou finished speaking, he turned to look at Gao Zhendong and said, "You came at the right time. Please have some food with us. Shouxing just arrived last night and hasn't gotten up yet."
The two who had already eaten continued to eat with Lou's father and mother, taking bites of the food.
Lou Shouxing didn't get up until almost noon. He must have been exhausted from the long journey, and he slept very soundly after finally getting home.
It's still different at home and outside.
After dinner, the three men went to the study as usual. Not only did Gao Zhendong want to find Lou Shouxing, but Lou Shouxing also wanted to find Gao Zhendong.
For Lou Shouxing, this trip to Bailing not only allowed him to take his own things out, but also brought back a lot of things, mainly experiences. He couldn't bring any physical objects with him, and it was not easy to bring them with him with an oriental face.
"Zhendong, the effect of the exhibition was very good when I went there this time. It turns out that there are so many countries and regions that want our products. In the past, they were all controlled by channel dealers, which resulted in a tortuous and long turnover and transportation process for our recorders and tapes. This time, at the exhibition, I directly contacted many direct channels in other countries outside the existing channels. I have a large number of orders in hand. When we return to Hong Kong Island this time, we will expand production."
Lou's father and Gao Zhendong were also very happy about this, but Lou's father was very alert: "You can expand, but don't expand blindly. Don't be led by other people's orders. That's very dangerous."
Lou Shouxing nodded: "Dad, don't worry. This thing is still in the seller's market for the time being. Our expansion is supported by advance payments from orders, so we won't lose money."
As for Lou Shouxing, his father was still basically relieved: "Well, that's good."
"Some upstream manufacturers have also asked us for patent licensing. I have selected some of them and plan to invite them to Hong Kong Island for detailed discussions. The situation is relatively optimistic. I have inquired about and counted the background and strength of these manufacturers. Zhendong's suggestion is really good. If we don't select the best for licensing and leave some room for them, they will have the strength to overturn the table."
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "We can use the strength of others to fight back. If we divide and disintegrate some of them, it will be difficult for the rest to succeed. The manufacturers that have joined the ship will naturally help us deal with those that have not. This is determined by their nature and inherent attributes and cannot be changed."
Although this statement has some suspicion of pointing fingers at a monk and calling him a bald donkey, Gao Zhendong still said it very directly. He himself admitted this fact.
"Well, this way, our pressure will be much less. I estimate that the patent dividend period can last for quite some time. To be honest, I am already looking forward to the Bailing Radio Exhibition next year. By then, we can launch the WalkMan we have prepared, and it will be another long-term business."
When it came to the name of the Walkman, Gao Zhendong chose the name from his previous life without hesitation. Since it was so famous and had such a good effect, there was no need to create any unnecessary trouble. However, in this life, the WalkMan was born in a different place.
"Well, the introduction of new technologies must be done at a rhythm. Good technology does not equal good products. I think you know this better than I do."
"You know what, speaking of good technology, I did learn a lot at the radio exhibition, and I'm going to put the expansion of product categories on the agenda." Lou Shouxing was obviously very satisfied with his gains this time, and he also wanted to change the problem of single product category. In this matter, in addition to Lou Xiao'e's support in funding and business decisions, he also needed Gao Zhendong's help in technology.
He knew that without this brother-in-law, Zhenxing Electric would not have any technological advantage.
Gao Zhendong nodded. He supported this decision. "That's no problem. Do you have any ideas or plans on which direction to develop?"
Lou Shouxing shook his head: "Not yet. I've been rushing all the way and can't calm down to do this. But our Zhenxing Electric people have already begun to analyze and summarize the gains of this trip to Bailing in Hong Kong Island. A preliminary plan will be put forward soon. Dad and Zhendong will discuss it together and set the tone." Lou's father was also quite satisfied with this. This son's horizons were getting broader and broader, and he was doing things more and more methodical, especially in dealing with foreigners: "Well, you urge your people, this matter needs to be done quickly."
Speaking of this, Lou Shouxing remembered that the reason he rushed back so quickly this time was because of Gao Zhendong's request.
"By the way, Zhendong, you said you wanted me to come back, is there something you want to arrange?"
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Yes, I have made some new discoveries recently, and I am planning to add another unique business to Zhenxing Electric."
By the way, cut off the Japanese's path.
When Lou Shouxing heard the word "unique business", he was no longer sleepy. Having run a unique business of tape recorders and cassette tapes, he was now very interested in these four words.
"What is it?" Lou's father and Lou Shouxing spoke at the same time.
"LED, light-emitting diode!" Gao Zhendong said with a smile.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) is an energy-saving lighting technology that has been widely used in the lighting field decades later.
The advantages of LED are innumerable, including energy saving, environmental protection, safety, long life, low power consumption, low heat, high brightness, waterproof, miniature, shockproof, easy to adjust the light, concentrated light beam, easy maintenance, etc. It can be widely used in various indication, display, decoration, backlight source, general lighting and other fields.
By holding this thing, you are not only controlling the lighting, but also the display.
The principle of LED, the electroluminescence of semiconductors, was actually discovered by John Bull as early as 1907. The first LED light bulb was invented in 1927, but they could not solve one problem, which was that it was too dim and meaningless in practical application.
The dawn of truly practical LEDs appeared in 1961, when the patent for electroluminescent gallium arsenide to emit infrared light was discovered and registered by a U.S. businessman. In 1962, visible red light LEDs were invented.
At this time, LEDs can already be used in areas such as indicator lights, but red light is still not suitable for normal lighting.
After 1972, yellow LED and green LED were discovered.
In 1992, blue light LED was invented, which was the most difficult step.
This is not a problem that can be solved simply by putting a blue shell on the outside. The difficulty is related to the principle of LED light emission.
It can be said that if the technical difficulty of red, yellow and green is 1, then the technical difficulty of blue light LED can be at least 10, or even more.
It was not until this time that LEDs could truly be used for lighting because they could emit white light.
However, one thing that is easily misunderstood is that LEDs are not actually more eye-friendly than incandescent lamps. The so-called eye-protection of LED lamps is relative to LEDs that are not eye-protective. Compared with incandescent lamps, the spectrum of LED lamps is inherently incomplete.
The principle of thermoluminescence of incandescent lamps makes their spectrum closer to natural light - sunlight. However, the spectrum of early incandescent lamps is slightly biased compared to natural light. Excessive use will affect the recognition of red. In fact, this problem has been improved in later incandescent lamps.
As for flicker, firstly, incandescent lamps can also work under direct current, in which case there is no flicker; secondly, even if alternating current is used, the principle of thermoluminescence plus the residual heat effect means that the flicker of incandescent lamps is not serious under normal circumstances.
But these are all far-fetched. LED has so many advantages. With the development of technology, eye protection has been greatly improved. It is still the mainstream lighting technology.
Gao Zhendong’s idea is very simple. Only children make choices, but adults want everything, red, yellow, green and blue.
First release the technology of red, yellow and green LEDs, let people use them and see hope, then strangle the blue light LED by the neck, let people realize the difficulties of blue light LED, and then bring out the blue light LED.
Unlike the red, yellow and green LEDs that are released by Zhenxing Electric, the blue LED will not go through Zhenxing Electric and must be produced by Gao Zhendong himself.
This has little to do with Gao Zhendong’s own honor, but rather that this honor must remain in this country.
There are no big prizes for red, yellow and green, but there are blue LEDs!
Although due to camp reasons, launching blue light LED technology here may no longer win awards, but who can tell about such things?
At least given the difficulty of this thing, even if others don’t give awards, they will still have the due respect in their hearts.
Besides, even if I can’t get it, at least the Japanese can’t get it either, right?
In any case, let's deal with red, yellow and green first. It will be enough to revitalize Electric Industries in a short period of time.
