Chapter 22
Things are going to change
"Good stuff, really good stuff."
It took more than an hour until Jin Sanshi demonstrated all three samples.
Mr. Ren and Engineer Cheng each took a piece and said with emotion that they couldn't put it down.
It is lightweight, tough, has good imaging effects, and most importantly, it can perfectly replace existing flexible screen technology.
This is so important.
Although the folding screens in the mobile phone market are currently inferior, it is undeniable that major display manufacturers led by Samsung still have a considerable advantage.
Although the flower factory also has its own display research institution and has even invested in many domestic screen manufacturers, it is still difficult to catch up with foreign progress in a short period of time.
"Mr. Jin, can your screen be mass-produced now?" After sighing, Mr. Ren also asked with some urgency.
Jin Sanshi nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, the factory has started to deploy the corresponding production lines. However, since this is a new technology, it is still difficult to distribute it on a large scale in a short period of time.
Mr. Wang also considered that we have cooperated with your flower factory, so he asked me to first ask if you have any needs in this area."
"Yes, we must have it! As long as the price is right, our flower factory will definitely need this!" Mr. Ren agreed simply.
They have no right to pretend about such cutting-edge technology.
They are just here for your life, how dare you say not to give it a try?
That means Xiaomi and the others haven't received the news yet, otherwise.
"The price is negotiable, and as long as the quantity is sufficient, we can even offer a discount." Jin Sanshi was not surprised at all by Mr. Ren's reaction.
Only if you don't move your heart will there be ghosts.
"It's easy to say, but I don't know how much your price is?"
"Currently, our unified selling price is 1,500 for the standard version, 2,200 for the deluxe version, and 3,440 for the ultimate version."
"His standard version is so expensive?"
After listening to Jin Sanshi's quotation, Mr. Ren frowned and thought for a while and then asked a little strangely.
"There is no way, Mr. Wang said, the cost of graphene is here, just refining high-purity raw materials is quite laborious. Maybe there will be new refining methods in the future that can reduce the cost, but now, this standard version
The price really cannot be lowered.”
Jin Sanshi spread his hands and explained honestly.
The engineer next to him touched his chin in understanding, "It's really troublesome to withdraw graphene, but with this 1,500-dollar screen and other hardware, the price of the phone will be at least 2,500 yuan or more. Low-end market."
"Your flower factory mainly specializes in the range of 2,000-15,000. The price below 2,000 is not your focus."
Jin Sanshi, who was drinking tea, waved his hands and smiled.
Below 2,000, that’s Xiaomi’s home field, and it has little to do with your flower factory.
"Actually, the flower factory now has the idea of expanding into the low-end market. Mr. Jin should know that we have just launched Hongmeng and we need huge users in the low-end market to increase market share."
Mr. Ren Yaoyaotou explained.
This is currently an idea within the flower factory.
In the mid-to-high-end market, facing the impact of Samsung and Apple, they actually do not have much advantage.
But in the low-end market, flower factories can still achieve technological suppression in the face of manufacturers such as Xiaomi.
"There's nothing we can do about it. You know the price has just come out when new technology comes out, and it won't go down in a short time."
Jin Sanshi could only shrug when he heard this. Although I sympathize with your flower factory, the cost is not something I can decide.
"We're just talking. I know about technology. Let's not talk about it. Let's talk about the display screen. Since Mr. Wang is willing to help the flower factory, we are not ignorant people. I don't know if we can keep it.
Get a prototype for some internal testing?”
Mr. Ren asked with a smile.
"Yes, but you can't destroy the sample, you know." Jin Sanshi agreed happily, but still gave a reminder.
"Don't worry, we are not the kind of ignorant people."
"Okay, then I will leave the standard version of the sample. Just give me a call after you have tested it. I will stay in the hotel here for three days. If it takes too long, it won't work. After all, there are many things waiting at the company.
Let me go back and take care of it. You also know that my boss doesn’t care about the company’s operations.”
"I'm sure, the test won't take long."
Cheng Gong also patted his chest and assured.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
"Absolutely, as long as there is no problem with the test, we will definitely place an order!"
What Mr. Ren said is absolutely true.
The test is just a procedure. As long as there are no major problems, the cooperative flower factory will make it up.
——
Just when the flower factory was busy conducting tests.
Jiangcheng Xiaomi Headquarters.
Mr. Lei, who was having a meeting in Conference Hall No. 1, received a piece of information from an insider.
Looking at the message sent on the phone, Mr. Lei's face suddenly darkened a lot.
Seeing that his boss didn't look right, a person next to him quickly asked, "Mr. Lei, what's wrong?"
"The situation may change." Mr. Lei slowly exhaled and said with a wry smile.
What? A group of Xiaomi leaders looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
I haven't heard of anything big happening.
"Mr. Lei, is Google planning to take action against us?" someone asked cautiously.
"It's not outside, it's the flower factory." Mr. Lei shook his head and said.
Hmm? Flower factory?
Aren’t they already too busy to take care of themselves?
Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Mr. Lei rubbed his forehead and explained, "The flower factory is testing the graphene flexible screen. I heard that it can meet the market demand. As expected, the order will be signed in the next two days."
"What? Graphene flexible screen?"
"Are you kidding? It will take at least ten years to research it, isn't it?"
"Is it cheating? Even though the flower factory has always had abundant R&D funds, this technology cannot be developed only if you have money."
"Let me go, the spring of folding screens is coming? How does this work? Dimensionality reduction has hit."
"If this is true, can we still enter the mid-to-high-end market? This is a flexible screen."
As soon as these words came out, a group of people around them were stunned for a few seconds and then exploded as expected.
The flower factory is already very powerful, but if it breaks through the technology of flexible screens, how can it still be done?
I'm afraid that manufacturers in Europe and the United States will have to think carefully about it.
No matter how severe their blockade is, if the flower factory occupies more than half of the country's rivers, it will be able to support the flower factory's large family without the need for overseas markets.
"Everyone, don't worry. Although this news may be true, the technology does not belong to the flower factory, but to a company called Technology Gate. They are currently negotiating with the flower factory. Today's meeting has been temporarily canceled. The Ministry of Commerce,
Book me a plane ticket to Yangcheng immediately! The sooner the better!"
Mr. Lei waved his hand and asked everyone to calm down.
If this was the technology of a flower factory, it would indeed be a bit uncomfortable for Xiaomi, but fortunately there is still a chance.
The top priority now is to quickly find the person in charge of this company!
You don't have to cut off the contract, you have to at least find a way to join it.
Chapter completed!
