索尼剥离电视业务后，日本仍以独立路线维持电视整机制造的主要企业只剩松下控股。但松下也已将低 价机型生产外包，只有高端机型保持自己制造。业内人士指出，销量缩小将压缩研发的投入空间，未来 恐怕也会卷入产业整合。 电视制造业只是缩影。冰箱、洗衣机等传统白色家电领域，日企同样在经历业务出售或与海外企业重 组。而且随着中国企业成本控制与技术水平的提升，中国产品正在逐渐摆脱"价廉质低"的印象。 在东京一些电器大卖场，TCL、海信等中国制造的电视机已经开始出现在比较显眼的位置。最显眼的位 置仍是"REGZA""BRAVIA""VIERA"等日系品牌，但这些品牌背后的资本结构已发生变化。 以"REGZA"为例，该公司95%的股权由海信集团持有，东芝出资比例仅为5%。索尼电视业务将转入由 TCL集团持股51%的合资公司运营。虽然"索尼""BRAVIA"等品牌仍将保留，但在资本与运营层面，已 纳入中资体系。 报道提及，中国企业在价格方面有明显优势。在43英寸4K液晶电视这一主流规格上，中国产品价格约 为5万日元（约合2210元人民币），而日本厂商产品多在10万日元左右。同时，日企的液晶面板等关键 部件早就开始外购，技术上也难以凸 ...

三星电子、SK海力士和美光科技等存储芯片巨头开始推行一种前所未有的合约框架：从传统的长期固 定价格协议转向短期甚至月度合同，并引入"价格追溯结算"机制，市场主导权已明显向供应商倾斜。 据韩国科技媒体etnews报道，这些制造商近期与北美大型科技客户签署的新型供应合约中，已允许在合 约期结束后根据市场价格进行付款调整。该变化主要针对迫切希望确保AI基础设施芯片供应的客户群 体，反映出在当前需求驱动下，保障供应已成为许多客户比控制价格更优先的考量。 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文不构成个人投资建议，也未考虑到个别用户特殊的投资目标、财务状况或需要。用户应考虑本文中的任何 意见、观点或结论是否符合其特定状况。据此投资，责任自负。 传统内存芯片供应合约通常采用固定价格模式，即使在市场波动下，年度内价格调整幅度一般不超过 10%。例如，若DRAM合约价定为100元，通常在一年内保持稳定，仅在季度协商中进行微调，浮动范 围一般在90元至110元之间。 新型合约模式已转向价格追溯补偿机制。假设以100元价格签订一年期DRAM供应合约，若到期时市场 价格上涨100%，客户需额外支付100元差价。目前三星、SK海力士和美光三大存 ...
