Monopoly in Japan

In terms of transformation efforts, Sony and Hitachi are the fastest and more thorough. In the 1990s, Hitachi was once a semiconductor giant, but it withdrew from the semiconductor industry very early. The related business was later taken over by Elpida. In the end, Elpida struggled to survive for more than ten years and could not escape the fate of bankruptcy. Today, Hitachi has transformed into a business focused on information communications, construction machinery, elevators, rail transit and other businesses. It is the largest electronics company in Japan. Sony gave up on LCD panel and other businesses very early. Today, its core hardware product is CMOS image sensors, and it occupies nearly half of the market share in this field. The transformation of Panasonic and Toshiba is slower. Although Panasonic has established its core position in lithium battery production, it did not completely withdraw from the semiconductor business until this year, while Toshiba officially gave up the storage semiconductor business last year.

NEC sells off computers, which is the foresight of Japan's manufacturing industry. NEC has long recognized that traditional computers will eventually be eliminated. Now let's look at it. After Lenovo bought the NEC computer industry, its performance became increasingly difficult. This is an industrial transformation revolution initiated by NEC Corporation. So, what is NEC doing now? Most of the systems for fully autonomous vehicles in Japan are now developed by NEC. After abandoning the computer industry, NEC did not abandon its semiconductor technology, but continued to develop cutting-edge semiconductor technology. Therefore, we can see that the Japanese industrial revolution is not guided by the government, but a self-revolution and self-innovation of enterprises. After Toshiba and Sony abandoned their computer businesses, Sony's profits in 2018 have reached the highest level in 20 years. Sony sold off its computer industry and made very few TV sets. It seems that it doesn't have many industries, so how can it have such high profits? By the way, it doesn't have a shell, but internal parts (key components). For example, its sensors already account for 70% of the global share. And Toshiba threw away its white goods, to whom? China's Midea Company. Throw away the TV and give it to Hisense in Qingdao. A few years ago, there was a big public opinion in the Chinese media that China had bought Japan's best industry and that Japan's manufacturing industry had collapsed. Think about it, everyone, do you still watch TV at home? No longer watching. In order to sell more TV sets, TV manufacturers first tell you that you must have one in your living room, one in your own room, and one in your child's room. There are three TVs in a family, but now I don't watch any of them. The Japanese realized this early on, so they threw it away. Japan believes that white home appliances, including televisions, are already an industrial burden. Some countries such as China and South Korea have already done very well, and there is no need to maintain this industry. By throwing away this industry, they are going into battle lightly and then develop new industries. This is a new development concept for the Japanese electronics industry. Toshiba, Fujitsu, Panasonic, and Sharp threw away their mobile phones. Currently, Sony Corporation in Japan is producing some mobile phones, about 5 million units a year. There is also Kyocera, which still produces some mobile phones themselves because they have au mobile communications company, but they are all used domestically. Think about it, what will happen to technology after they throw away their mobile phones? As a result, most of their parts are sold to China, and the profits are better than making their own mobile phones. Huawei mobile phones have developed rapidly in recent years. You must know that Huawei mobile phones are basically developed in Japan. Mr. Ren Zhengfei is very smart. He does not buy other people's production lines, but buys other people's minds. After so many companies in Japan threw away their mobile phones, they had so many mobile phone R&D talents. He hired them with high salaries, set up a research institute in Yokohama, and recruited more than 400 Japanese mobile phone engineers to help Huawei develop smartphones. At the same time, the mobile phone parts industry of these Japanese companies provides Huawei, OPPO and Xiaomi. Huawei's mobile phones are developed so well because they use Japanese people and Japanese technology. So OPPO also learned from it and set up a research institute in Japan. Therefore, we can see that Japan has thrown away its mobile phone industry, but the profits obtained after selling mobile phone parts to China are still very high. Fujitsu is now building the Internet of Things and at the same time building a universe monitoring system. Because Japan has now entered the era of fully autonomous driving, its signals cannot have diagonal lines but must be straight lines. That is to say, there must be two satellites in the sky over Japan at all times, so that the signal and the car can be accurately synchronized, so that the fully autonomous car will not lag for one second to avoid traffic accidents. This system is developed by Fujitsu. Look at Canon again. Canon sells cameras, but due to the popularity of mobile phones with high-definition lenses, the camera industry is becoming increasingly difficult. Canon has also begun to transform. You would never have imagined that Canon is now involved in the development of small rockets. Because the investment in large rockets was too high, Canon established a company, took 50% of the equity, and gathered some major Japanese electronics and military companies to develop small rockets to launch commercial satellites. Canon bought Toshiba's medical equipment company and began to invest in the medical industry

So far, very good, very reasonable and logical, keep it first! Come on, author! 👍

Japan did not lose 20 years. Manufacturing profits were low, so they developed high-tech and manufactured top-notch accessories in the manufacturing industry. They lost 20 years, which refers to GDP. It refers to the overvaluation of the GDP during the period when the real estate bubble was too big. The water in GDP has been eliminated. Japan's high-tech and top-level accessories manufacturing in manufacturing have been greatly developed, and manufacturing has been transferred to China and Southeast Asia.

Reader 1189, stop bragging. If Japanese people could understand Chinese, they would be extremely embarrassed to see you bragging like this. As the saying goes, when you see a virtuous person, think about them all, and when you see a virtuous person, you should introspect yourself. We naturally need to learn knowledge and lessons from other countries. But this is not the reason for us to blindly brag or belittle others.

Come on, I quite like modern novels about foreign countries.

When a person builds a powerful enterprise, but when Americans take a check and ask you to sell it at a low price and buy shares, you will realize the importance of an independent country. When the Plaza Accord was signed, I am afraid that those super enterprises in Japan felt a kind of humiliation...

I gave up after seeing that the author was a high school student. It's okay if you write fantasy or something like that, but it's really not good in urban areas because you don't understand society and human nature.

I don't like articles that glorify Japan. Even if they have merit, I still don't like them. I am just blindly patriotic.

Has the author been screwed? In the comments of many chapters, some people assume that the author is a bad author! I have read about half of it so far, and I really like the author's style. When writing, you have to consider rationality, and the villains also have brains. If you don't have any brains, it's great! Only novices and underage children like to read the kind of crappy mindless and enjoyable articles. Most readers are now tired of reading mindless articles.
