A strong technological nation starts with repairing mobile phones

Chapter 86: Production capacity is seriously insufficient!

Only at this moment did Li Dongsheng realize that this product had just been developed and there was no need for him to be too excited.

After all, developing a product is just the beginning. Apart from market response, what is the most important thing?
It is 'mass production'. If a product is made perfectly in a laboratory, the theoretical calculation cost can be made very low, and the market size is indeed very large, it will be sold out as soon as it is launched.

However, if mass production cannot be achieved, then no matter how much we say, it will be of no use at all and all our efforts will be in vain.

"can!"

Chen Jinghong's words were so powerful that they directly shattered Li Dongsheng's worries.

To put it simply, the underlying principle of folding glass is actually similar to anti-reflection, except that one adds reflective molecules to the entire piece of glass, while the other adds them locally.

One has a lower addition ratio, and the other has a higher ratio. For anti-reflection, all molecules have directional requirements in addition to sorting, while folding glass can directly ignore this step.

Now that we have the molecular materials and proportions, it will not be difficult for Tiansheng Optics to produce them.

……

It seems that Li Dongsheng attaches much more importance to this folding glass than the large-size glass panel.

As soon as he finished talking to Chen Jinghong, he couldn't wait to contact his secretary and gave him a call to ask him to go to Tiansheng to get the samples.

The headquarters of Huaxing Optoelectronics is located in Guangming District, just above Tiansheng Optics in Longhua District. When the secretary brought back the batch of folding glass samples from Tiansheng Optics, only one hour had passed.

Li Dongsheng also called the G6 project R&D director and department heads to his office in advance.

Huaxing Optics' business is not limited to display screens. The G6 project is mainly responsible for the production of AMOLED.

In Li Dongsheng's office, Gao Xueyuan and Xie Zhengyang sat on chairs and exchanged glances, wondering what Li Dongsheng meant by suddenly calling them over.

Under normal circumstances, when Li Dongsheng gives instructions on some business, except for weekly and monthly meetings, he would only choose to send emails on the company's internal email. Even if he has an emergency, he must call many senior executives to hold a meeting together.

Those who can come to his office to chat privately, except those who come to report something on their own initiative, are usually called in because there are major problems at work and they come to be scolded.

"This matter is very important, so I only asked you to come here. You must keep it confidential before the project is approved!"

Perhaps seeing the two people's mentality, Li Dongsheng immediately spoke to comfort them.

As a veteran who has been in this industry for more than 20 years, he is not a rookie like Chen Jinghong.

Although Chen Jinghong obtained this glass technology with the help of the system upgrade function, he subconsciously knew that this thing was a groundbreaking product and that Tiansheng Optics could take off with it.

However, based on his vision, he still underestimated the potential of this thing and had no idea what impact it would have on the entire world after it appeared.

Li Dongsheng was different. When he heard the news, he immediately understood the potential of this thing, which was why he behaved so out of control and was so impatient just now.

For example, Chen Jinghong only thought about foldable screen mobile phones, but Li Dongsheng thought about so much more and was not limited to the mobile phone industry at all.

My thoughts have already shifted from the consumer level to aerospace, medical, and military industries.

Gao Xueyuan and Xie Zhengyang had both begun to carefully recall whether they had done anything wrong recently. When they heard Li Dongsheng explain that it was something else, they finally put their minds at ease.

At this time, Li Dongsheng's secretary just pushed the door open and came in, holding a tightly packed small box in his hand.

"President, Mr. Gao, Mr. Xie!" Seeing the three people in the office, the secretary was stunned for a moment and then immediately reacted and greeted them.

Gao Xueyuan and Xie Zhengyang were now focusing on the box in each other's hands. They guessed that the very important thing Li Dongsheng mentioned should be inside.

Li Dongsheng had no intention of keeping the secret. When he saw the secretary bringing the things back, he couldn't wait to shout to the secretary, "Hurry and bring the things over here."

The secretary did not dare to delay and quickly walked to Li Dongsheng's desk and put the box on it.

"Open it! Why are you daydreaming?" Looking at the secretary who didn't move, Li Dongsheng shouted again.

The box was quickly opened, and what caught everyone's eye was a batch of glass covered with foam protective film. A rough glance showed that there should be about fifty or sixty pieces, and the size range should be around 10 to 15 inches.

"This?" Xie Zhengyang looked up at Li Dongsheng, his eyes full of confusion.

As the president of the company, you hurriedly ordered the head of the project's R&D department and the project general manager to come over, and you also said mysteriously that this matter was very important and that you were the only ones called over to keep it confidential. Your words were as scary as they could be, and as exciting as they could be.

The result! That's it? Just a few pieces of broken glass!
Gao Xueyuan was also confused at this moment. He knew at a glance that the contents of the box were all glass. He simply could not imagine how important the glass could be that required such a solemn request to keep it secret.

Li Dongsheng naturally felt the attitudes of the two people, but he did not explain anything. At this moment, the thing he had been thinking about came in front of him, and he had no intention of clearing up the doubts of the two people.

He reached out and took out a ten-inch piece of glass from the box. Chen Jinghong had already told him about this batch of glass, and that all of them would be processed in the middle and have a bending function.

Lifting the glass panel in his hand, he first looked at the middle part carefully. No matter how he looked at it, he could not see any difference between the middle and the outside. This made him doubt whether Tiansheng Optics could really add this function without changing any properties of the glass?
With a skeptical attitude, he gently held both sides with his hands and applied light force. Sure enough, the piece of glass in his hand slowly began to bend along with his strength. Soon, the originally flat glass was folded and overlapped like paper.

"How is this possible?" Xie Zhengyang, who was originally wondering what Li Dongsheng was doing, jumped up from his chair and looked at the glass panel in Li Dongsheng's hand in disbelief.

After saying this, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of glass from the box. He failed to fold it the first time because he got the direction wrong. After he changed the direction, he was able to fold the glass in his hand easily.

"This glass should be about one millimeter thick, but it can be bent like this. Which company has just developed this technology?"

Xie Zhengyang bent the screen in his hand repeatedly, then looked up at Li Dongsheng and asked impatiently.

Li Dongsheng's attention was focused on the glass in his hand. He did not answer Xie Zhengyang at first until the other party asked again. He said impatiently: "It is produced by Tiansheng Optics.

I heard from the other party that the folding part in the middle can withstand 200,000 folds without affecting its usability!"

Li Dongsheng obviously ignored the experimental results of 50,000 and 100,000 times that Chen Jinghong told him, and only cared about the number of 200,000. "200,000 times? Can it really last that many times?" Gao Xueyuan also had a piece of glass in his hand at the moment, and he was somewhat skeptical about the meaning of this sentence when he heard that the number of uses could reach 200,000.

Xie Zhengyang was different. As the chief engineer of the G6 project and head of the R&D department, he was thinking of something else at the moment.

"Can they make it a little thinner?" Xie Zhengyang looked at Li Dongsheng expectantly and said, "If it can be made thinner than 0.1 mm, it can barely be used as a screen substrate material. Even if the screen is a little thicker, it won't be a disadvantage with this function."

"0.1 mm?" Li Dongsheng glanced at Xie Zhengyang, and then said in a tone that said you have never seen anything good: "Currently the lowest can reach 0.03 mm! This time there is a sample. You may find it if you look down!"

0.03 mm?

Xie Zhengyang opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Dongsheng. The expression on his face was so wonderful that it was hard to describe.

He threw the piece of glass in his hand directly onto the table, took the box of glass, threw out the ones on top and started searching below.

Sure enough, he soon found pieces of glass that looked like paper underneath. If he hadn't held them in his hands, he would have doubted whether they were glass.

Compared with the one-millimeter-thick glass just now, Xie Zhengyang treated the glass in his hand as carefully as he would his own wife.

"How much does this piece of glass cost?" Xie Zhengyang asked casually while carefully testing the folding effect of the glass in his hand.

"Very low, probably between thirty and fifty!" Li Dongsheng roughly calculated the price based on what Chen Jinghong said.

"Are you kidding?" Gao Xueyuan said this, and then he explained: "The ultra-thin glass produced by Dongxu Group has a folding angle of less than 120 degrees, and can only be folded less than times. If the folding angle is increased, the number of folds will be greatly reduced. If the angle of this glass is used, the other party is estimated to not be able to last more than times.

In this way, the cost of production according to their erosion method is no less than one hundred yuan."

"Let's put the cost issue aside for now. The main reason I called you here this time is to think together about how to maximize the use of these products!" Li Dongsheng said slowly.

"Flexible folding screen!" Xie Zhengyang blurted out.

As soon as they saw these glasses, they knew that Tiansheng Optics was obviously preparing them for foldable screen mobile phones.

Gao Xueyuan then also supported Xie Zhengyang's idea that with these glass substrates their first product should be a flexible folding screen.

Although Li Dongsheng had a lot of ideas in his mind, he knew at this moment that it was unrealistic to bring them all out at once. It just so happened that foldable screens had been very popular in the past two years.

Seeing that Chen Jinghong's intention was almost implicitly for the development of a foldable screen, he could only nod and confirm.

"Based on our current research strength and technical accumulation, samples can be produced within a week and mass production can be achieved within three months!"

When Li Dongsheng asked about the difficulty of research and development, Xie Zhengyang said without hesitation.

To put it simply, this thing just replaces the original substrate material, which is not difficult at all.

"Before we sign the contract with Tiansheng Optics, this project must be kept confidential. I don't want any news to get out!" Li Dongsheng looked at the two of them and said solemnly.

At present, Tiansheng is a treasure in his eyes. He is afraid that the news will be leaked out suddenly and intercepted by others, especially for a business novice like Chen Jinghong who has no experience. He is afraid that others will change their minds after giving some benefits.

……

"We can't ship it. The company's production capacity is already a bit low. We can't deliver it on the time you mentioned."

Li Hanwu looked at Cheng Ting in front of him and said helplessly!
He could never have imagined that this little girl, who was nearly twenty years younger than him, was so capable.

It’s as if he doesn’t need to rest. He signs orders from different companies every day, and many of them are not from the mobile phone industry at first glance.

"Manager Li, these customers are from the Rice Group. We have finally managed to get the order back. We cannot allow any problems to occur. Do you think we can postpone the production of the first batch for some small customers for a day or two?"

"Impossible! These are the rules set by Mr. Chen. It's first come, first served, and no customer can cut in line!"

Li Hanwu did not compromise because of the name of rice and rejected Cheng Ting's idea again.

Perhaps he saw Cheng Ting's difficulties, or perhaps the production capacity was indeed seriously insufficient, he suggested that Cheng Ting go to Chen Jinghong or Zhou Pingshen to apply for expansion of production scale.

Currently, Tiansheng Optics' production scale has undergone two expansions. The first was when Chen Jinghong acquired it from Zhao Bo, and the second was after financing.

At that time, the expansion was twice the order volume of Tianyin and OOPP. According to the plan, this production scale could support at least one year.

I just didn't expect that it would become seriously insufficient in such a short period of time.

"Okay, I'll go explain this to the people at CSOT first, and you have to ship the goods on time later!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely ship on time according to the normal process!"

Regarding the issue of insufficient production capacity, Cheng Ting reported the problem to Zhou Pingshen on the same day. Although Cheng Ting was recruited by Chen Jinghong as an exception, all subsequent docking work was done with Zhou Pingshen. So far, the number of times he has communicated with Chen Jinghong can be counted on one hand.

Zhou Pingshen naturally had no idea about expanding production capacity, and this issue soon came up before Chen Jinghong.

"I remember that we doubled the amount based on the orders from OOPP and Tianyin. We don't have many more major customers now, so why is it so seriously insufficient?"

Chen Jinghong put down the documents in his hand, looked up at Zhou Pingshen and questioned him.

"Mr. Chen, don't just look at the big customers. We also have many medium and small customers. Their orders may not seem like much, but when added together, they add up to a lot. And their profits added up are much higher than those of big customers like OOPP!"

The small and medium-sized customers Zhou Pingshen mentioned are not the previous copycat screen customers, but many customers like Tianma Microelectronics. These customers have a variety of uses, such as outdoor equipment and watch panels.

Chen Jinghong did not plan to increase the scale of production at this moment. According to the plan, the scale should be increased after his own factory in Guanlan was built. However, the production capacity was seriously insufficient at this moment, and he really didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

At this moment, it can be seen that Chen Jinghong is still seriously inexperienced and has no experience in many issues!
