A strong technological nation starts with repairing mobile phones

Chapter 83 Four stars take action!

Corning, Tiansheng Optics, and the defendants of the lawsuit and counterclaim did not respond, and the trial was not scheduled to begin soon. In addition, the legal department of Tiansheng Optics in China is not strong. Perhaps those self-media felt that this matter would not have any traffic and the matter soon quieted down.

It was actually a right move by Zhou Pingshen to promote Cheng Ting to be the sales manager.

During this period, Cheng Ting can almost be called a god. She contacted most of the companies in the domestic industry and confirmed the cooperation intentions of customers both large and small.

Not only did they secure the services of OOPP, a client that had already been confirmed, they even managed to secure the business of the Rice Group.

The model that Dami is preparing to cooperate on is the flagship model Dami 10. The purchase intention was discussed the day before yesterday and the other party's R&D personnel are just about to send the product parameters and requirement documents over the past two days.

At this time, Corning and Tiansheng were suing each other. As one of the domestic mobile phone giants, Dami was accustomed to this and did not take it seriously at first.

It's just that when they contacted the Sixing Group, the screen supplier for the Mi 10 model, and asked them to cooperate with Tiansheng Optics, it was normal that the screen supplier and the glass cover supplier still had to coordinate some subtle parameters.

What they didn't expect was that when the process came here, an accident occurred.

The Sixing Group actually refused to cooperate with Tiansheng Optics on the grounds that Tiansheng Optics was being sued by Corning Group and in order to avoid having its company secrets stolen by Tiansheng Optics.

If Xiaomi wants to use its own screen, it must change the glass panel supplier. For example, Corning's Gorilla Glass is very good.

No one expected that problems would be waiting here. Normally, the affairs of Corning and Tiansheng have nothing to do with the Sixing Group. Now the other party's reaction is outrageous and very illogical.

However, the Sixing Group insisted on these two issues and resolutely refused to cooperate with Tiansheng Optics. It was clear that it felt that if Xiaomi wanted to launch high-end mobile phones this year, it must use their screens.

The news soon spread from the purchasing department and the R&D department to Lei Jun.

"It seems that now we can only choose one of the two?" In the office, Lei Jun said with a frown as he looked at the two people sitting opposite him.

"Given the current situation, it is indeed true!"

"What do you think of that?"

Zhang He is the CTO of the Rice Group. He was also frowning at this moment. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

In response to Lei Jun's question, he did not answer immediately but began to think.

"We have already invested in the mold-making costs for Four Stars. If we give up on them, we will lose a considerable amount of money. Besides, their screens are indeed world-class at the moment!" Zhang He almost understood what he meant. After careful consideration, he finally decided to give up Tiansheng Optics.

Lei Jun naturally understood what the other party meant. After considering for a moment, he finally decided to agree with Zhang He's idea.

"Okay, then let's go back to the original plan and purchase Corning's glass cover!"

I thought the matter would end here, but Zhang He looked up at Lei Jun and said slowly: "We must optimize the supply chain!"

"Optimization?" Lei Jun was a little surprised. The Rice Group has been established for nearly ten years. Does this supply chain still need to be optimized?
"That's right!" Zhang He said seriously, "This time the Four Star Group is a lesson for us. We should find another screen supplier to avoid this kind of situation from happening again!"

"BOE?" The first thing Lei Jun thought of was this company with which he had been cooperating. The previous generations of digital series had used the other party's screens, but the market response was not very good.

The latter digital series are rarely used, and are only used by Redmi, a sub-brand of Xiaomi.

"You can give it a try. The other party's screen technology has improved a lot recently. I heard that the high-end screens are already very good!" Zhang He said.

The CEO and CTO simultaneously decided to give up purchasing Tiansheng Optical products and quickly informed Chen Jinghong, stating the reasons without even hiding them.

……

"Corning is obviously colluding with the other party. They don't want us to enter the high-end market!"

Zhou Pingshen told Chen Jinghong what happened, and then couldn't help but complain angrily.

Chen Jinghong didn't expect that Corning Group was waiting for him here. Considering the situation of the Six-Star Group and Corning's background, he was not surprised that the other party would obey Corning's request.

"It seems that we are not strong enough. If we have better technology and possess technology that those manufacturers dare not ignore, how can they be so unscrupulous? It seems that the anti-reflection function is indeed not an indispensable function for these companies!"

Chen Jinghong said this very calmly, and the calmness in his tone made Zhou Pingshen feel scared.

Now if you think about it carefully, this function does seem to be very high-end, and it can greatly improve the user's outdoor experience. At first glance, it is indeed very important for these mobile phone companies, but if you think about it carefully, the real difference between having and not having this anti-reflection function is actually not that big. The lack of this function will not make the target consumers directly refuse to buy, and it will not be the main reason for purchase at all.

It seems that Corning and Sixin Group also saw this point, and the Rice Group also thought of this, so they finally gave up Tiansheng Optics. After all, the screen color and display effect experience are the real thing.

Many consumers will still decide whether to buy a mobile phone based on a good screen.

After thinking this through, Chen Jinghong knew that the key to his future would still be on the folding screen technology. It is clear from the fact that only the Six-Star Group has launched a folding phone at present that most mobile phone manufacturers are still stuck at the screen stage.

Once folding glass is developed, this product will become Tiansheng Optics’ first moat!

Neither the Rice Group nor Tiansheng Optics had any intention of concealing the news. Of course, even if they wanted to, they couldn't hide it from Sixing.

Most manufacturers in the industry have received news that Sixing Group refused to cooperate with Tiansheng Optics, and if they want to purchase the other party's screens, they must change suppliers.

Even the news that the rice group had agreed not to place an order for this reason was leaked.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see. Wanna go out to sea together?"

The first person to find Chen Jinghong was Huang Qifan, who called him and directly proposed the idea of ​​going to sea together.

"When? As long as I have time, I have no problem with that!" Chen Jinghong did not directly refuse or agree.

Huang Qifan's purpose was naturally not this. He chatted for a few words before changing the subject and said, "We know about the Six-Star Group, but don't worry, none of our OOPP mobile phone screen suppliers are from the Six-Star Group, so this will not affect our cooperation!"

Chen Jinghong naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words, and was very grateful for his action.

"Boss Huang, you are so thoughtful. Actually, we have already prepared something. We will give you a surprise in a while!" Huang Qifan thought Chen Jinghong was just being tough, but he still laughed and said, "Then I will wait for your surprise!"

……

Just as Chen Jinghong ignored the outside world because Corning and Sixing were not optimistic about Tiansheng Optics and focused all his energy on the laboratory, he went to Liu Renshan almost every day to check on the progress.

An unexpected person came to Tiansheng Optics to find Chen Jinghong.

"Director Nan? Who is this?"

Yes, the person who came was Nan Wenyu again, but this time he was no longer alone, but brought another person with him.

"Mr. Chen, I remember telling you last time that you can come to us if you have any difficulties. It seems that you haven't taken this sentence to heart recently!" Nan Wenyu first joked, and then introduced the people around him.

"This is Li Dongsheng, president of Huaxing Optoelectronics."

Huaxing Optoelectronics is a joint venture jointly invested by TCI and Pengcheng government. The first batch of investment directly raised the investment to 150 billion yuan.

Now the president of the other company actually came to his office quietly, and Chen Jinghong suddenly felt a virtual feeling.

"Mr. Chen, I've heard your name a lot recently. I never thought you were so young!"

Li Dongsheng did not become arrogant because of the difference in their status. Instead, he continued to show his kindness.

Chen Jinghong said quickly: "Boss Li, I didn't expect you to come here. I am so rude!"

"Haha, what do you mean by neglect? I've actually wanted to meet Mr. Chen for a long time!"

Li Dongsheng was very talkative and soon made the three of them familiar with each other. He and Chen Jinghong almost acted like they had known each other for a long time, and were almost sworn brothers.

Of course, the other party came here with Nan Wenyu for a purpose this time. After chatting for a while, Nan Wenyu slowly spoke out the purpose of this trip.

"Originally, we were waiting for Mr. Chen to come to us for help when he encountered difficulties, but we didn't expect that Mr. Chen would never come to us. Since you didn't come to me, I had no choice but to come to you!
This time, Mr. Li and I came here because of your cooperation with the Rice Group!"

Nan Wenyu looked at Chen Jinghong and slowly told him the purpose of this trip.

Although Chen Jinghong remembered that Nan Wenyu did say that he could come to him if he had any difficulties, he always thought that it was just a polite remark and did not take it seriously. Besides, he did not think that the other party could help with business matters like Four Stars.

Nan Wenyu had no intention of being a riddle teller, and quickly told the full purpose of his trip.

The reason for calling Li Dongsheng over this time was actually to let him cooperate with Tiansheng Optics to go to the Rice Group and persuade the Rice Group to transfer the original order from the Sixing Group to Huaxing and Tiansheng.

Of course, there are reasons why Pengcheng and Li Dongsheng are so confident in making the Rice Group compromise.

The first is naturally that Huaxing Technology originally came from the Four Star Group. At present, except for the top screens, the screens they produce are not inferior to those of Four Star. As for the top screens, I believe that the Rice Group does not think that the Four Star Group will provide them with them.

What remains is naturally that the Pengcheng government will make concessions on some interests and let Dami choose to cooperate with Huaxing Tiansheng for the sake of these interests.

"I remember that Huaxing has cooperation with Sixing Group. Isn't Huaxing afraid of offending the other party?" Chen Jinghong looked at Li Dongsheng puzzledly.

"Why should we be afraid?" Li Dongsheng asked back, "We are very optimistic about the future of Tiansheng Optics. Besides, the Four Star Group is just so-so. Our domestic technology is slowly catching up. I believe that in a few years we will be able to surpass the Four Star Group!"

Having said that, only Li Dongsheng himself knew what he was thinking. This time, any discerning eye could see that he was persuaded by the Pengcheng officials to help Tiansheng Optics.

After all, most of the funds for CSOT were invested by the Pengcheng government, so he naturally would not say no to this request.

"So what do I need to do here?"

Since people were rushing to him to ask for help, Chen Jinghong naturally would not refuse. Besides, if he could really deal with the Rice Group this time, the threat from Four Stars would become a laughing stock.

Tiansheng's position in the domestic market will become more stable. I believe that as long as Tiansheng Optics is not technologically backward in the domestic market, it will not encounter this situation again.

Of course, it is not Tiansheng Optics' turn to go abroad at this time, after all, others abroad can use things outside the rules.

Nan Wenyu smiled and said, "You don't have to do anything for now. This time, I came here with President Li mainly to tell you the news and to introduce you to President Li. I believe there are many opportunities for cooperation between the two of you!"

CSOT's main business is liquid crystal display screens, and it has only started investing in the production of mobile phone AMOLED screens in recent years. The technology was initially purchased from the Six-Star Group, but they have also subsequently conducted self-research and improved many aspects.

Their other main business is TV and display panels, in which they have a very high market share. It seems that there are indeed many areas for the two parties to cooperate.

"Due to the current glass panel production process and cost constraints, most display screens and TVs on the market use protective film solutions. If Tiansheng Optics can produce glass panels within 60 inches and reduce the cost to an acceptable range.

I believe that many manufacturers will choose to replace the glass panel solution which is safer and has better texture!

If you add your company's anti-reflection function, it will attract a steady stream of TV manufacturers, and I believe the profits will not be inferior to those of the mobile phone industry!"

Li Dongsheng slowly expressed his views on Tiansheng Optics.

Ever since he learned about Tiansheng Optics' products, he has always felt that it is a waste of resources for Tiansheng to only serve customers in the mobile phone industry. As long as Chen Jinghong changes his mindset, profits in many areas will be very good.

Especially in the television industry, with this anti-reflective panel, these TV manufacturers can make a very good TV by simply pairing it with a liquid crystal substrate with good performance, and can control the viewing angle to a level that was previously unattainable.

"That's right, Mr. Chen, I think you should communicate more with Mr. Li in the future. There are still many opportunities for cooperation between the two sides!" Nan Wenyu was so worried about Tiansheng Optics that he immediately added.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Jinghong felt that what Li Dongsheng said was indeed reasonable. Besides, according to Tiansheng Optics' current production technology, glass panels within 100 inches are not a problem. Thanks to the excellent material ratio, even if it is 100 inches, it will not have the problem of other companies where the risk of breakage increases exponentially with the increase in size.

Normally, for something as hard as glass, the harder it is, the more brittle it is, so the impact on the size of a mobile phone or tablet is not that big.

But when the size is expanded to fifty or one hundred, it’s a different story. If you want to maintain the original thickness, not to mention the cost, it’s difficult to guarantee the protection function alone!
