Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 62 [Leibos: Damn, this technique is amazing! ]

That afternoon, at Lingjing Technology Headquarters.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was personally leading a top figure in the technology circle, who was none other than Lei Jun.

This time, not only did Xiao Mi act quickly, but Lei Jun also visited her in person.

To Xiao Mi, suppliers are her real bosses. In order to mobilize all the large and small upstream and downstream suppliers and run the banquet smoothly, Xiao Mi basically begs the boss to borrow pots and buy bowls from her boss.

Lei Jun's personal visit this time showed his full sincerity, so that Xiaomi could get the supply and grab the 100% full-screen first launch.

The display screen business was one of Lingjing Technology’s core businesses in the past, but at that time, compared with industry giants such as domestic Jingdongfang or foreign Samsung, Lingjing Technology was just a small company.

Although the technology is good, big companies do not recognize it and will not give you their flagship products. At that time, the company can only sit at the same table with small companies on the 18th tier and has no right to sit at the table with the big guys.

But things are different now. Lingjing Technology has mastered world-leading technology and achieved the mass production capacity of graphene, known as the "king of new materials". Moreover, the cost has dropped exponentially. It is the only one in the world to achieve technological monopoly in the field of graphene.

For downstream manufacturers in various fields that need to use graphene materials, Lingjing Technology is definitely their supplier.

"We plan to allocate 10 tons of production capacity to the smartphone industry, and it is the highest-specification scientific research-grade graphene material. It is expected to create 3300% full-screen phones for 100 million mobile phones." In the VIP reception room, Xiao Yu looked at Lei Jun and said with a smile.

However, his words immediately surprised Mr. Lei, who said with some doubt: "You can produce 10 million screens with only 3300 tons of production capacity?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Lei, you don't think that the entire screen is made of this high-purity graphene composite material, right? At least 20 to 30 grams of it would be needed. Even if the price drops significantly, a mobile phone screen will cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."

As he spoke, Xiao Yu took out a mobile phone, which was surprisingly a flagship phone from Xiaomi. The original screen of this phone was replaced with a 100% full screen and an under-screen camera.

I have to say, hiding the front camera under the screen immediately greatly improves the appearance of the phone. The entire screen displays the interface 100%, and people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will find it very comfortable.

Xiao Yu handed the phone to Lei Jun and smiled, "This screen is actually a combination of traditional screen materials and graphene composite materials, or a hybrid. This is the unique skill of Lingjing Technology. It only uses about 0.32 grams of graphene material to achieve a 100% full screen."

Lei Jun was shocked: "Only 0.32 grams?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "The biggest technical pain point is to hide the camera under the screen, so we use graphene composite materials in the screen position where the camera is located to ensure that the light transmittance does not affect the imaging effect of the front camera."

After hearing this easy-to-understand introduction, Lei Jun was shocked by the so-called mosaic technology developed by Lingjing Technology, which could perfectly mix two materials together to make a complete screen.

This operation is simply "stingy" to the extreme, and the cost is controlled to the extreme. Just use some graphene composite materials at the camera position, which means that it is basically still a traditional display screen, but it can achieve a 100% full screen.

The technical pain point lies in how to make the front camera disappear on the screen. If this can be achieved, that's enough. No matter how stingy you are, just tell me whether this is a 100% full screen?

Besides, he has to be so stingy. Although Blue Star can provide enough graphene composite materials of this level, Xiao Yu can't just blindly produce tens of thousands of tons. The current reported annual production capacity is 150 tons, and the military has taken 100 tons, leaving only 50 tons for commercial use in the civilian market.

The entire screen is made of graphene material. Even if the price has dropped to this level, mobile phone manufacturers still cannot afford it.

Lei Jun looked at the prototype in his hand. There was no problem with the screen display, and it was completely invisible. The imaging effect of the under-screen camera was also perfect.

"Damn, this technology is amazing!" Lei Jun couldn't help but mutter in his heart as he looked at the phone in his hand. He was full of envy. This mosaic technology alone was truly unique.

Being stingy also has its advantages. Not only can a 100% full-screen effect be achieved, but for mobile phone manufacturers, the proportion of screen costs is also reduced. The material cost of 0.32 grams is equivalent to about 320 yuan.

Of course, it is definitely not calculated this way. If mobile phone manufacturers want to cooperate, they must hand over the entire screen to Lingjing Technology for manufacturing and supply, and the price of a whole screen is definitely not 320 yuan.

The cost of a screen generally accounts for about 15% to 20% of the total cost of a mobile phone.

The previous cooperation reached with Huawei was to supply it with screens for 500 million mobile phones. The average purchase price of a screen was about RMB 1500, and the total order amount was RMB 80 billion.

灵镜科技的定价是按照下游厂商产品的终端消费指导价的20%来收费，你一部手机卖5000元我就收你1000元的屏幕供货价格，你卖15000元我就收你3000元，总之按产品销售价的20%来收费。

If the downstream mobile phone manufacturers' products are sold at a price of 2000 yuan, then Xiao Yu will not supply them. Or, if he can supply them, he must charge a minimum of no less than 1000 yuan for a screen. If the manufacturer is willing to pay this price, he is also willing to sell at a loss. Even if the terminal product is sold at 200 yuan, Xiao Yu does not care. Anyway, Lingjing Technology has already got the profits it deserves.

There is no doubt that if Lei Jun wants Lingjing Technology to supply full-screen phones for Xiaomi mobile phones, he will have to charge 20% of the selling price. If the Xiaomi mobile phone is sold for more than 5000 yuan, he will charge 20%. If the price is lower than this, he will charge 1000 yuan for the screen.

If you can accept it, sign the order. If you can't accept it, forget it. At worst, you can transfer the quota to other sub-industries. So many high-end industries have a strong demand for graphene materials. Lingjing Technology doesn't need to run business promotion by itself. Customers will come to us to buy the goods.

……

Around 16 p.m., Lingjing Technology and Xiaomi successfully signed a big deal. Xiao Yu was not in a hurry, but Lei Jun was.

Several other latecomer mobile phone manufacturers learned the news and were furious and privately cursed Lei Jun for being so unfair as to eat up all the goods and not even give a sip of soup to his competitors.

Lingjing Technology's production capacity is limited to the mobile phone industry segment. The 10-ton production capacity is expected to provide 3300 million screens, which is not enough to meet the needs of multiple manufacturers at the same time.

If it weren't for the shortage of Kirin chips, Huawei, which was the first to sign the order, could have taken over all of them based on last year's mobile phone shipments, and it would still be far from enough. Unfortunately, the inventory of Kirin chips was limited, so it only got an order for 500 million screens.

This time, Lei Jun came and directly packed up the remaining production capacity of 2800 million screens and took away all of them. It was really because Lei Jun's "sincerity" was too strong that everyone was willing to lower their status in order to get the goods.

Lei: I beg you, please give me all the remaining production capacity...

This was the scene during the conversation, and we eventually managed to package up the remaining production capacity from Xiao Yu.

On the one hand, Lei Jun was very sincere, and on the other hand, Xiao Yu was actually unhappy with the wait-and-see attitude of other manufacturers. This was a small way to vent his anger and let them know that they had to be more decisive in the future and not sit on the fence.

Although Xiao Mi was also watching, he was the first one to come, and it was Lei Jun who came to visit in person, showing his sincerity.

In contrast, several other manufacturers only sent their senior management teams.

At least Xiao Mi is really willing to humble herself and recognize the supplier as her big brother, and even regards Lingjing Technology as another new supplier father. For this reason, Xiao Yu is more willing to supply Xiao Mi with mobile phones.

Xiao Mi said that it doesn't matter to recognize the big brother. Anyway, recognizing the big brother and asking for help everywhere in the supply chain has been a long-term thing. As for the supplier father, one more Lingjing Technology is not much, and one less Lingjing Technology is not a big deal.

The key point is to get the goods. Lei Jun focuses on being pragmatic. Face is all empty talk. The key point is to have goods to sell.

Several other mobile phone manufacturers did not get the goods and secretly cursed Lei Jun. They almost wanted to imitate Lei Jun’s famous scene: our competitors are idiots!
