A strong technological nation starts with repairing mobile phones

Chapter 87 It’s time for the second round of financing!
"What did China Construction Third Engineering Bureau say? How many months will it take to complete the first phase?"

At present, the Guanlan factory has been in operation for many days, but Zhou Pingshen has been in charge of the coordination during this period, and Chen Jinghong is not very familiar with it.

The entire factory area was divided into three phases due to funding and time issues. The first phase, Area A, planned to build seven factory buildings.

Due to the tight construction schedule at Tiansheng Optics, China Construction Third Engineering Bureau could only start construction on seven buildings at the same time, and each building was fully staffed. This was the lowest cost but also the highest cost.

Recently, a large number of migrant workers in Longhua District have been assigned to this construction site. Many private construction sites around it have no choice but to raise wages in order to barely recruit some people.

"According to the plan, the first phase should be completed in about 70 days, so we won't be able to move in until November!"

Although Tiansheng has sufficient funds, there are many problems in factory construction that cannot be solved by money. For example, it takes time for concrete to solidify and harden. No matter how anxious they are, it will be useless.

The first phase will not be completed until November, which Chen Jinghong is not satisfied with.

After all, judging from Tiansheng’s current momentum, it is simply impossible to wait until November to expand.

If the product does not have high technical requirements, finding a foundry is indeed a very good solution at this moment. However, Tiansheng Optics is a technology-driven company, and it is not easy to find a foundry.

"Mr. Chen, most of our production capacity is actually stuck here at the raw material furnace. The capacity of the furnace designed at the beginning was too small. I suggest that our company's old factory area transfer all the back-end processes and then build another furnace so that we can increase production capacity as quickly as possible.

This way we can centralize management and increase production. In the end, we only need to find a new factory to transfer the back-end process. It’s like killing two birds with one stone!”

As the general manager of the optical glass business unit, Zhou Pingshen naturally considered how to deal with this matter before coming.

He naturally knew that Chen Jinghong probably wanted to wait until the factory in Guanlan was completed before moving there to continue expanding Tiansheng Optics' production scale.

As a subordinate, he could only try his best to come up with the best solution.

The old factory area has long said that even if the Guanlan one is completed, it will not give up this one. After all, it is better to build something like a furnace in a more remote place.

"Okay!" After hearing this, Chen Jinghong felt that Zhou Pingshen's method seemed to be the only good one at the moment, so he slowly nodded and agreed with his idea.

……

Time passed quickly. When Tiansheng Optics was looking for a factory to transfer the back-end processes of the old factory and was looking for a furnace to order a factory, the laboratory of Huaxing Optoelectronics finally produced the finished product.

After Li Dongsheng got the finished product produced by Xie Zhengyang's team, he immediately went to find Chen Jinghong.

When he met Chen Jinghong, Li Dongsheng handed him their company's AMOLED flexible screen which used 0.03mm thick folding glass as if he was presenting a treasure.

"Did you figure it out?"

"Very good! Thanks to your excellent material, it is more than enough to be the substrate for our display screen. It is perfect!

The display cable was plugged into the test equipment, and Li Dongsheng kept folding his hands, because the screen had been bonded to a 0.5 mm folding glass panel.

Now no matter how you fold it, there doesn't seem to be any crease on the surface. Compared with the performance of the folding screen mobile phone launched by the four-star group, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Jinghong also took it and played with it himself to get a rough experience. Compared with the upgraded screen, this screen was almost the same except that the color of the display was slightly inferior.

"Do you have any difficulty in mass production?" Chen Jinghong looked up at Li Dongsheng and asked.

"We have overcome all the difficult ones. There is no difficulty at all for us!" Li Dongsheng shook his head slowly!
After saying this, Li Dongsheng looked at Chen Jinghong with a strange expression, his mouth opening and closing slightly, considering whether to speak or not.

The purpose of coming here this time is naturally not just to show the finished product to Chen Jinghong, but there are other important things.

"Mr. Chen, I remember that Tiansheng has only received one round of financing so far?" Li Dongsheng thought for a moment and finally opened his mouth to ask: "Excuse me, have you thought about launching the next round of financing recently?"

Chen Jinghong looked up at Li Dongsheng and asked in confusion: "Why is Mr. Li asking this?"

"We at Huaxing can't handle this by ourselves!" Li Dongsheng didn't immediately answer why he suddenly mentioned financing, but instead talked about folding glass: "Mr. Chen should be looking for mobile phone manufacturers to cooperate with and sell folding glass to them, right! And if I'm not mistaken, the first company you chose should be OOPP!"

"That's right!" This is not a secret. Since the folding glass has been shown to the other party, there is no need for Chen Jinghong to hide his thoughts.

This folding glass was originally the inspiration given to him by Huang Qifan, and the other party had invested in Tiansheng Optics despite rumors from the outside world. Now that this thing has come out, the first cooperative manufacturer will naturally choose OOPP.

"OOPP can't handle this either!" Li Dongsheng said with a smile, "I suggest that Tiansheng Optics take this thing out and develop it together with these domestic industries.

For example, when it comes to display screens, you don’t have to limit yourself to CSOT. You can contact Tianma and BOE to develop together.

Consumer products should not be limited to OOPP. One or two companies cannot handle this. I think the first batch of manufacturers can unite the four major domestic mobile phone manufacturers, OOPP, VVII, Dami, and Xiawei, to let them participate and expand the foldable screen mobile phone market together!"

After hearing this, Chen Jinghong looked at the other party thoughtfully. In the end, he did not express his opinion on the spot, but just said that he would consider it.

Li Dongsheng had no objection to this. After all, his first reaction last week was to strengthen cooperation with Tiansheng Optics, or to acquire shares in Tiansheng Optics, or to exchange shares, so as to strengthen the cooperation between the two parties and let Huaxing alone take over this thing.

But later he gradually figured it out. It was obvious that Huaxing did not have the ability to keep this thing all by itself. He knew that Chen Jinghong was a newcomer in the business world, so he came to Hull today to talk to Chen Jinghong about these things.

Li Dongsheng did not stay long. After making his suggestion to leave the display screen here, he quickly said goodbye and left.

After the other party left, Chen Jinghong sat on the chair, holding the screen left by the other party in his hand and thinking about what the other party had just said.

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to ask Huang Qifan.

Of course, he never considered letting OOPP be the only company to have the monopoly on this product, but only considered letting the other party launch it first to accumulate some industry status.

After all, everyone knows that this thing cannot be monopolized by one company forever, and it is very good to be able to launch it one or two months in advance.

"Mr. Chen? Is my surprise here?"

The last time the two contacted was on the day when the Sixing Group made its move. At that time, Huang Qifan personally contacted Chen Jinghong to comfort and enlighten him, and Chen Jinghong also said that he would prepare a surprise for him later.

The two have had no contact since then, and there is naturally no organization for going out to sea for fishing.

"Mr. Huang is really amazing. You've already thought of it before I even said it!" Chen Jinghong joked with a smile.

Huang Qifan was a little surprised by this. He had just said this jokingly, but he didn't expect that it would be such a good surprise for him.

"I don't know what the surprise is, but if it's bad, don't blame me for not buying it! Haha!"

"I'm afraid that I might scare Mr. Huang. I wonder when you are free so we can meet up?"

OOPP and Tiansheng Optics are located in Pengcheng and Dongguan respectively. It takes about an hour to drive there by yourself, so both parties need to agree on a time in advance, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.

"I'm free tomorrow. I'm going back to Pengcheng. I'll come to your company to see you then. I won't buy into the idea of ​​a small surprise!"

Huang Qifan owns a house in Pengcheng, and he would go back to live in Pengcheng when he has free time. …

Early the next morning, Huang Qifan came to Chen Jinghong's office with curiosity.

As soon as Huang Qifan saw Chen Jinghong, he exclaimed: "Your conditions are getting better and better. Now it's much better than when we first came to discuss financing!"

"This is all thanks to the investment from Mr. Huang and Mr. Wang, otherwise Tiansheng Optics would not have been able to reach this level in such a short period of time." Chen Jinghong looked at Huang Qifan and smiled.

"Alright, stop putting the credit on me and Lao Wang. That little bit of money is useless. I have invested this money dozens of times in the past few years, but only your Tiansheng has thrived. The others have all lost everything!"

Huang Qifan waved his hand and then looked at Chen Jinghong and said, "Where's my surprise? Take it out quickly!"

This time he came here only because of the surprise. He was not interested in other things, such as Tiansheng Optics' recent business and situation. With Li Huanyi here, he felt very relieved and didn't have to worry about it at all.

Seeing the other party's impatient look, Chen Jinghong didn't keep him in suspense. He directly opened the drawer, took out the screen that Li Dongsheng left here yesterday and handed it to the other party.

"This is the surprise I prepared for you. I believe you will like it!"

When Huang Qifan saw that Chen Jinghong only took out a screen, he didn't react at all.

After all, he hadn't used it yet, and he didn't look at it carefully enough to notice anything different about the screen.

"Is this flat-panel display?" Huang Qifan took the screen and looked at it carefully from top to bottom, looking at Chen Jinghong in confusion.

"Why don't you try folding it in the middle?"

Seeing this, Chen Jinghong could only remind the other party that this screen was indeed made so well that most people would never think about it being super foldable.

"Folding?" Looking at the screen with an obvious glass panel in his hand, Huang Qifan didn't even think about folding.

However, with trust in Chen Jinghong, he still folded it slowly and gently.

"This..." Huang Qifan said in disbelief as his pupils dilated instantly as he looked at the screen in his hand that began to fold in the direction of his force.

"Isn't it amazing?" Chen Jinghong asked with a smile.

"Amazing! How did you do that? Is the panel above made of glass?"

Huang Qifan reacted and his complexion returned to normal. He kept rubbing the glass panel with his hands, trying to determine the material of this thing.

"It's glass. The folding glass that our company's laboratory has just developed can be folded more than 100,000 times!" Chen Jinghong explained and then smiled: "How about this surprise? Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied!" Since Chen Jinghong took out this thing, how could Huang Qifan not be satisfied? He immediately nodded and said.

Huang Qifan then began to fold the screen continuously, looking at the performance of the screen and the glass panel from many angles. He stopped after half an hour and slowly put down the screen in his hand.

"What are your plans for this thing? And which company produced this screen? I think their foldable flexible screen is very good. I folded it so many times and there is no ripple mark on the square meter?"

Chen Jinghong immediately explained that Huaxing Optoelectronics and the screen used self-produced substrates, which made them so perfect.

As for Huang Qifan's previous question about Chen Jinghong's plan, Chen Jinghong then repeated what Li Dongsheng had said to him.

He then suggested that OOPP could be the first customer to launch the screen and glass panel in one to two months.

"No need!" Huang Qifan shook his head when he heard Chen Jinghong's words and said, "It doesn't have to be so long. Just give us half a month to start. As for the rest, what Mr. Li said is indeed very reasonable.

In fact, even if he doesn't say it, I would still suggest you contact domestic companies in the industry for joint development.

For example, if you are developing a foldable mobile phone, you can contact all companies now, hold meetings to provide samples, and give them enough time to configure the screen later.

As for the follow-up, it will be enough as long as we agree to give us the first release rights of OOPP. As for the screen, what Mr. Li said is right.

It is obvious that one company, Jiahuaxing, cannot handle the market. I suggest cooperating with all domestic screen manufacturers so that the market will be vibrant. The more vibrant the upstream market of Tiansheng Optics is, the higher the profit will be. There is no need to tie the cooperation partner to one company or object!"

The heads of two industry giants said this in succession, and Huang Qifan also has a special relationship with Tiansheng Optics.

Chen Jinghong also began to think seriously. It seems that many things really cannot be judged superficially.

Originally, he thought that if Huang Qifan knew his idea, OOPP would be the first company to use this product and would have the first launch bonus, so he should be very happy and excited to accept his idea.

But he did not do so. Instead, he only asked for the first launch right, and then suggested that Chen Jinghong should open up the market, bring in other companies to cooperate and make money together.

The same goes for Li Dongsheng. If CSOT can exclusively own the folding glass substrate, then the mobile phone manufacturers that use this screen will have to purchase from them, and they can make a lot of money with their eyes closed.

But Li Dongsheng didn't do that. Instead, he came over to persuade him to open up the market and bring Tianma and BOE in!

The actions of these two people really puzzled Chen Jinghong. It seemed that his previous vision still limited his thinking.

"Okay, since you said so, then I will officially announce this news to the public and bring in all the domestic companies in the industry!"

"As soon as possible, technology cannot be delayed, the sooner the better!" Huang Qifan said, suddenly looking at Chen Jinghong and said, "It's time for Tiansheng Optics to conduct the second round of financing. No, maybe it should be called the real first round of financing!"

　Some people say that these two chapters are sold too cheaply?

Those who say this may have overlooked a lot of things.

The cost of producing this product at Dayi Sheng Optics is currently very low, so low that the profit earned from the current selling price is several times the cost (after deducting taxes).

Second, this product is not aimed at direct consumers, and it needs to go through many steps before it reaches the consumers.

Third, Tiansheng is not the leader at present, and there are many alternatives on the market. It doesn’t mean that we can’t do business without it.

Fourth, this thing has a price threshold. For example, the one with a cost of one hundred yuan that I used for comparison, in reality this thing cannot be sold because the price is too high. It really cannot be sold. Now 90% of all screens use polyimide material as the base material, and no manufacturer buys that ultra-thin glass.

Fifth, Chen Jinghong is just an ordinary person who has entered the system. He has no experience at present, and many of the decisions he makes are wrong, but he has plug-ins.

For example, why did such a strong glass panel choose to open a branch in Huaqiangbei just to buy repair parts? For example, tempered film OEM!
But he finally realized his mistakes and corrected them!

Sixth, what I need to think about is the overall logic, but readers only need to see a certain point of logic, which is a big problem, so it is very likely that neither of us will be convinced.

This is why I want to set the fan value.

I can accept it as long as you don't discuss the plot in an unreasonable manner after paying for it. I hope that everyone will consider more aspects when reading the book, and not just see one point.

Finally, good night to all readers!
