A strong technological nation starts with repairing mobile phones

Chapter 20: Comparable to Gorilla Glass Cover

Li Hanwu immediately began to direct the workers to carry out production operations.

The old products did not have a hydrophobic coating in the past. During this upgrade, Chen Jinghong added coating equipment, and now the new products have a hydrophobic coating.

The first batch of products came off the production line very quickly. After receiving the first batch of products, Li Hanwu did not report to Chen Jinghong immediately.

Instead, they were sent to the testing department to test the parameters of these panels.

Test hardness, screen burst index, light transmittance, and durability of the hydrophobic layer.

Soon the performance of the first batch of products was tested and the test reports were sent to Li Hanwu one by one.

When he got the test report and saw the data on it, his first reaction was that the test was wrong.

He immediately asked his employees to change the product and retest it, and then he received the second test report with almost identical data.

He could no longer remain calm and immediately took the test report to Chen Jinghong's office.

"Mr. Chen, the test report is out, but the data on the report..."

In the general manager's office, Li Hanwu's mood had not yet completely calmed down.

"What's wrong with the data? Is it improved compared to the old product?"

Taking the report handed over by the other party, Chen Jinghong replied casually and then lowered his head to look at the report carefully.

The more Chen Jinghong looked at his expression, the more satisfied he became. It turned out that his five million investment was not wasted.

The cover produced was exactly the same as he had imagined.

"Our products are almost the same as Corning's Gorilla Glass VI. Although there are still some gaps, they are negligible!"

As soon as Chen Jinghong put down the test report, Li Hanwu could no longer contain his excitement and said to Chen Jinghong.

The products produced this time do have a slight gap with Corning's latest products.

It’s not that the cover technology purchased from the system is not good enough, but that Chen Jinghong deliberately lowered the parameters of these products.

At the beginning, he did not produce the best glass cover immediately, but planned to upgrade and iterate it slowly in several generations of products.

"Have you calculated the cost?"

"The cost per piece is no more than two dollars. If we buy raw materials in large quantities later, we should be able to reduce it by more than 30%!"

"I remember that you calculated the cost of the old products to be 3.40 yuan, right?" Chen Jinghong recalled the old product information.

"That's right. The cost is three dollars and the factory price is about six dollars. The profit is less than 50%!"

Although Li Hanwu is only the production manager, he is very clear about these things because the company is very small.

"Okay, now go back and start producing covers for the popular models. I believe our products will be in great demand in the future!"

"I understand. But Mr. Li, our company doesn't have enough frontline employees. Do you think we should recruit a group of new people?"

In the past, during Zhao Bo's era, the factory had been making losses and could only allow employees to leave without ever hiring new ones.

When Chen Jinghong came to inspect that day, the number of employees was already very small, and almost most of them were handling more than two processes.

Originally the factory was not doing well and Li Hanwu was too embarrassed to ask for more employees. But now, it is obvious at a glance that the new products are highly competitive.

As long as the boss Chen Jinghong does not make any stupid moves in the future, the rise of Tiansheng Optical Glass is basically inevitable.

At this moment, he finally had the nerve to bring up the idea of ​​recruiting additional employees.

"No problem. You can count the number of employees we need and then contact Manager Xu to start recruiting!" "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll arrange the production statistics right away!"

Li Hanwu was very excited after getting Chen Jinghong's consent. After reporting, he left immediately and couldn't wait to arrange the work.

After Li Hanwu left, Chen Jinghong was not idle and immediately contacted Zhou Pingshen to ask him to come over.

Zhou Pingshen didn't let Chen Jinghong wait for long, especially when he heard that the new product had been produced and the product parameter report was also out, he rushed over in less than three minutes.

"Mr. Chen, you just said that a new product has been released?"

"Yes, here is the report, take a look for yourself!"

Without any hesitation, he took the report from Chen Jinghong and started reading it.

Zhou Pingshen, who originally had a normal expression on his face, became more and more surprised the more he looked at it, and finally his face was filled with disbelief.

"Mr. Chen, this report is wrong. The employee must have taken an original sample of the fruit phone for testing!"

After putting down the report, Zhou Pingshen directly pointed out that there were problems with the report.

"No problem!" Chen Jinghong said calmly, "This is the parameter report of our new product. There is no exaggeration in it. It can support anyone to test it again."

"Really? If the customer requires large-scale sampling, is it okay?" Zhou Pingshen did not believe what Chen Jinghong said.

Chen Jinghong smiled and took out the products that Li Hanwu had just brought over.

Directly instruct the other party to take some samples of each model and send them to old customers along with a test report.

"Is our new product really that powerful?" Seeing Chen Jinghong so calm, Zhou Pingshen couldn't help but ask again seriously.

Seeing Chen Jinghong nodding seriously to confirm that there was no problem, he finally had a little faith that this product was produced by his company.

"Mr. Chen, are we still selling this product at the old price? If the price of this product increases by 40 to 50 percent, all those companies will be scrambling to buy it!" Zhou Pingshen immediately put forward his own opinion after reacting: "Let's talk about which mobile phone companies our main customers should choose next.

We can get back on track in the future. If we continue to supply domestically produced screens, it will be a bit of a self-destructive image!"

Chen Jinghong mostly agreed with what Zhou Pingshen said.

At this time, the new product has such parameters and the cost is so low, it should indeed be connected with those mobile phone manufacturing customers, such as Xiaomi, OV and other companies.

He had thought about this question originally, but later rejected it directly.

According to his idea, a little-known company that originally supplied counterfeit domestic screens was about to go bankrupt.

Suddenly they said they had developed a glass product that was comparable to Corning’s latest glass product, and then they came to us with these materials to propose cooperation.

I guess he will be sent out without even meeting the decision-makers.

And even if we get the orders, those companies will probably ask for a three-month to six-month payment delay, or even require a stake before placing the order.

As for the other party who came to the door, they were immediately shocked when they saw the products they produced. When they heard that the price was lower than Corning, they immediately begged for cooperation.

As an adult, Chen Jinghong knew that this scene was impossible to happen.

So in the end he decided to use these domestic screens to build a reputation first. The next step he decided to enter the repair industry and produce spare parts for all screens on the market.

Then you can enter the tempered film industry and slowly build up your reputation and capital in these circles.

When you reach a certain level, and then you approach those companies yourself, your voice will be different.

By then, I will at least be able to meet the decision makers of those companies.
