Chapter 16 On the Stage
"Kim Jae-eun?"
When Zhou Zhen looked to the right, he also showed a surprised expression.
Bangzi Chinese?
Zhou Zhen didn't expect that there was a stick sitting next to him.
And this name sounded vaguely familiar to Zhou Zhen.
But when Zhou Zhen heard Shen Cong introducing the screens of the Blue Factory x9 series, he finally remembered who Kim Jae-eun was.
Senior engineer and director of Sansang screen R&D!
As for where Zhou Zhen heard this name, it was during a quarrel in his previous life.
To be honest, Rouyu Company only has three core employees.
Chairman Zhou Zhen is responsible for the design of panels and the improvement of production processes.
Deputy General Manager Liu Peng is mainly responsible for the design of panel display chips.
Director He Wei is mainly responsible for the research and development of LCD panel materials and the procurement of corresponding materials. He is also the person in charge of the company's upstream raw material supply chain.
In the early days of the company, relying on the efforts of the three people, it gradually made corresponding breakthroughs in the entire screen panel technology.
However, in the later period, due to the lack of sales channels and corresponding funds, the commercial building built by the three people collapsed.
Liu Peng was diagnosed with gastric cancer at the end of 2018 and did not survive the Lunar New Year in 2019. He finally passed away silently amid the tears of Zhou Zhen and He Wei.
You must know that triangle is the most stable shape.
Liu Peng's departure made several people who were once familiar with each other seem to be separated from each other.
He Wei left Rouyu Company at the end of 2019, and finally joined Sansang's screen laboratory and became a core member of the laboratory.
As for the person in charge of this screen laboratory, he is the owner of the seat to Zhou Zhen's right, Kim Jae-eun.
This time, the x9 series to be released by Blue Factory actually uses screens from two manufacturers.
The ordinary version uses the OLED screen produced by Rouyu Company.
However, the large-cup version of this series adopts Sansan's amoled screen, which has an overall reputation and is more excellent.
To be honest, when Zhou Zhen heard Shen Cong say, "The blue factory x7plus uses the better Sansan amoled screen", Zhou Zhen felt very uncomfortable.
However, there is no way around this.
Sansang is still a leading company in the industry, and it is also a high-end supplier that various mobile phone manufacturers need to attract frantically.
To put it bluntly, Sansang is the "father" of most mobile phone manufacturers!
In addition to screens, Sansang has a certain position in semiconductors (chips, flash memory), image sensors and other fields.
Take the "Android Light" produced by a certain company in 2021 as an example.
Screen, from Sansang!
The processor chip is manufactured by Sansang!
Flash memory, produced by Sansang!
The rear ultra-large bottom image sensor is produced by Sansang!
The 20-megapixel front-facing sensor that remains unchanged for thousands of years is also produced by Sansan.
The domestic flagship, known as the "Light of Android", is half from Jiaotong and half from Sansang.
Not just "Android Light", the vast majority of domestic flagships still completely rely on Sansan in terms of product hardware configuration.
Not just because Sansang’s screens are the best in the industry!
After all, Sansang already has a certain say in the upstream supply chain market.
Today’s domestic manufacturers really “can’t afford to offend” Sansang!
Even now Zhou Zhen doesn't dare to trouble San Sang.
After all, if Zhou Zhen makes Sansang anxious, and Sansang directly comes up with a strategy of choosing one of the two, I'm afraid Rouyu will have to finish it even if he has a cheat like Zhou Zhen.
"Try to show weakness!"
Zhou Zhen coughed slightly and continued to turn his attention to the rehearsal on the stage.
Half an hour later, the rehearsal ended.
Shen Cong also came to the stage. After chatting with Shen Cong for a few words, Zhou Zhen followed Shen Cong to eat and drink.
After all, this time Shen Cong invited Zhou Zhen to the headquarters to be a guest at the press conference. He did not simply be a guest and watch the press conference.
Eat and drink, deepen the relationship between the two families, and talk about business by the way.
Especially last month, after Shen Cong saw the new OLED screen sample sent by Rouyu Company, he already had the idea of entering into deeper cooperation with Rouyu Company.
After all, the screen of that sample is very excellent, and there is not much difference between the look and feel of the screen and the Sansang screen of the x7plus.
Domestic OLED screens can achieve such an excellent level, which also made Shen Cong and the senior management of Lan Factory take a look at Rouyu Company.
The screens of Rouyu Company are of high quality and low price. They have similar quality to Sansang, but also have certain advantages in terms of price. Naturally, they can become the target of the current blue factory's senior executives.
And through this drinking party, Zhou Zhen and Shen Cong also decided on relevant cooperation, preparing to continue to use the current Rouyu OLED screen panel on the next Blue Factory x10.
Factory Blue plans to continue ordering 5 million screens, but this time the overall quality of the screens has been improved, causing the price to rise slightly to 3.5 billion yuan.
Although the price has increased slightly, it is within the acceptable range of the blue factory.
After all, the overall quality of the new generation screen has indeed improved a lot compared to the screen used on the Blue Factory x9.
It's natural for prices to rise.
However, compared to the bold innovation of DaMi Company, which wants to adopt a full-screen design on its products, Blue Factory currently has no ambition to develop full-screen products.
Perhaps we haven’t yet had the idea of adopting a full-screen design for offline products.
After negotiating this cooperation, Shen Cong also said that after this press conference, all the remaining balance of the previous batch of screens will be transferred to the account of Rouyu Company.
And after the press conference, specialized personnel will be sent to Rouyu Company to sign a cooperation agreement.
A sweet night's dream!
The next morning, the product launch conference of Blue Factory x9 series officially started.
Zhou Zhen also met Jin Zaien and Peng Yuyan.
The polite man who met Peng Yuyan smiled the whole time, but Kim Jae-eun sitting next to him had a cold and unsmiling face.
However, Zhou Zhen could feel the way Kim Jae-eun glanced at him from time to time.
"Blue Factory x9 series, as a pleasing product, this time we use an excellent domestic self-developed OLED screen on the regular version!"
“The color display level, contrast, and brightness are far ahead of other mainstream product screens on the market!”
As the press conference was held, Shen Cong finally talked about the screen of the product.
And this screen is said to be a relatively excellent screen in the industry.
Indeed, most mobile phones in the industry now use LCD screens.
Although the overall quality of Rouyu's OLED screens is not as good as that of current top international manufacturers, in terms of color and look and feel, these LCD screens still have certain advantages.
After all, in this era, OLED screens are naturally excellent in color reproduction and display.
"At the same time, we also invited the chairman of Rouyu Company, Zhou Zhen!"
"Let Mr. Zhou Zhen come and say a few words to us!"
As Shen Cong introduced the screen, the conversation gradually turned to Zhou Zhen on the stage.
Zhou Zhen had already made preparations, and even exchanged words with Shen Cong at the wine party last night, so he was well prepared.
Under the steady applause from the audience, Zhou Zhen slowly stepped onto the stage.
"Who is this? Lan Factory actually invited him to speak on stage?"
"The name of the chairman of Rouyu Company is quite bluffing! The reputation of Rouyu Company is not as good as that of Sansang, not even TCL and BOE. How can you invite the chairman of this small company to speak on stage?"
"It's nonsense. Didn't Rouyu Company launch a full-screen concept and a lift-type concept phone? It's still quite famous in the technology circle!"
"Isn't it just a concept? Have you seen any company using it? Besides, I haven't seen any company use Rouyu Company's screens!"
Although Blue Factory is not as popular on the Internet as Rice Company.
However, each factory press conference can attract hundreds of thousands of people to watch online.
Chapter completed!
