Chapter 103 You are really a genius!
Modu, Soni Dahua District Headquarters.
Fujita Yoshiki turned off Li Chen’s video with a gloomy face, then lay on the chair and began to close his eyes and meditate.
Kang Chi finally made a move on Daqin Optics!
But his main focus is not autofocus, but image quality…
This is a bit uncomfortable.
Originally, Fujita Yoshiki had prepared three axes in advance. First, block the bayonet to make Daqin Optics’ autofocus invalid.
Second, appropriately reduce the price of the lens.
Third, launch a patent war, and make Daqin Optics exhausted through legal disputes and drag them down.
But the upgrade direction of Daqin Optics made the first one he prepared invalid.
And this one is actually the most direct and effective.
From this, we can see that Kang Chi is very cunning. He obviously guessed the gift he prepared, so he didn’t step on this landmine. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense that Daqin Optics can make breakthroughs in more difficult image quality, but can’t handle autofocus…
After all, autofocus is actually divided into levels.
It is definitely a bit difficult to achieve very smooth focus in one step, but it is not that difficult to achieve autofocus for taking photos.
It’s nothing more than poor focus accuracy, slow speed, and motor exhaust.
With their low prices, users must be able to accept it.
As for the second point, at present, the situation is still as embarrassing as the first confrontation. It’s useless to reduce it too little, and the loss will be greater if it is reduced too much.
As for the third point, it may have some effect this time.
Before, Daqin Optics’ technology was relatively backward, and most of its technologies were expired patents more than ten years ago, so Suoni didn’t ask for trouble.
But this time it was obviously different.
The image quality has been improved so much, so many advanced technologies must have been used. Whether there is their patented technology or not, they can bite it first.
In patent disputes, large companies have always been able to take the initiative because they can afford it, but small companies cannot.
Thinking of this, he immediately summoned the company’s legal team and technical team, asking them to analyze Daqin Optics’ lens technology, prepare the materials simply, and then directly file a lawsuit.
However, the choice of court for the lawsuit is a bit troublesome.
Daqin Optics is a Chinese company, and its main market is also China, so it can only file a lawsuit in China.
But in this way, Daqin Optics is fighting at home, which has certain advantages…
But the impact is not great.
Anyway, his goal is not to win the lawsuit, as long as he can delay them and wear them out. And to achieve this goal, it is nothing more than spending more money.
After the internal meeting, Fujita Yoshiki contacted Ni Kang and the head of the Dahua region of Canon, and facilitated a secret meeting of the three giants that night.
As for Songxia, Fuji, and Pentax, they were excluded because their user base was too small and even Daqin Optics was too lazy to make a move on their mounts.
Although there were only three people in the secret meeting, their combined energy can definitely stir up the entire digital photography industry in China… “… You all know the situation. This time, Daqin Optics is not sucking our blood, but our marrow! I think we need to put aside the previous conflicts and face the outside world in a unified way from now on.”
”Well, I agree with Mr. Fujita’s idea.”
Jia Neng’s Dahua District General Manager Saito Yuzhi took the lead in expressing his opinion,
”Although they didn’t have autofocus this time, the image quality they shot may not even reach that of our lenses… Our lens sales have declined significantly in the past two days.”
Ni Kang’s Dahua District General Manager Osaki Hisasaku also nodded: “Then how does Mr. Fujita think we should face the outside world in a unified way?”
”We are going to bite them on patents first.” Fujita Yoshiki said.
“You don’t need to tell us that. We have already taken action.” Saito Yuzhi said, “But besides this, are there any other good ideas?”
”I do have an idea.” Osaki Hisasaku stroked his mustache and said the countermeasures he had thought hard about in the past two days.
”Have their Daqin Optics lenses always been in a state of needing to be snapped up? This shows that their production capacity is actually a bit seriously insufficient…”
”So what?” SaitoFuji Yuzhi immediately became interested.
”So can we just eat up their production capacity?” Osaki Hisasaku said with a smile, “Anyway, their lenses are cheap and their production capacity is not much.”
”I have roughly analyzed it. Their monthly turnover of Daqin Optics was several million before. Even if the price has increased now, it is only 10 or 20 million. As long as we can work together to budget and make it so that users who really want to buy can never get the goods, they will not only vent their grievances on Daqin Optics, but will also be forced to come back to buy our products…”
When Saito Yuzhi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: “Osaki-kun’s idea is really unique. I think it seems to have some effect. , what do you think of Fujita-kun? ”
Yoshiki Fujita shook his head and said, “Although it sounds good, I don’t agree.”
”Why?” Saito Yuzhi immediately asked back, “If we leave them alone, our lens sales will definitely drop by more than 30%, which is a loss of hundreds of millions or even billions, but if it is used to block Daqin’s production capacity, it may only cost tens of millions!”
”But this is using our money to feed Daqin Optics, which is raising a tiger to harm!” Yoshiki Fujita snorted, “I really don’t know how you can come up with such a stupid idea!”
”Stupid?”
Osaki Hisasaku was immediately unhappy.
“Fujita-kun, what you said is too much. You said it as if no one buys their lenses.”
”Even if we don’t block their production capacity, Chinese users will still give them money!”
”One is that Daqin’s lenses will flow into the market, causing greater losses to us. The other is to avoid greater losses with smaller losses, and it can also arouse users’ anger against Daqin. It’s a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy. Which is better? Fujita-kun is so smart that he can’t figure it out, right?”
”That’s right!” Saito Yuzhi also spoke for Osaki Hisasaku, “It’s already this time, Fujita-kun, don’t be so arrogant.”
”Besides, we still have to fight a patent lawsuit with them. Blocking production capacity is just a temporary sugar-coated bullet for them to drag down their market share. The real killer should be patents.”
Hearing Saito Yuzhi’s analysis, Tengtian Yoshiki couldn’t help but waver.
“But what if they expand production, or directly raise prices?”
”We’ll talk about it later. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we need to adjust our strategy at any time. But I personally think that as long as the losses are greater than the gains, we can keep dragging them down like this. I believe that under the legal blockade of our three companies, they can’t even last two months!”
”What Saito said is exactly. As long as the three of us join forces and each of us contributes 10 million, we can block their production capacity for several months. This is not stressful at all for everyone, just like using money to kill an ant.”
Although it always feels weird, but there is no reason to refute it, so under the strong persuasion of the two, Fujita Yoshiki had to nod and agree to this plan.
