Chapter 1274: Touch the Screen
Rare earths in the early years of the state began to rectify, but this rectification has achieved remarkable results, many indiscriminate mining of black mines have basically been closed, the state controls all the domestic rare earth mining process.
And compared with the previous direct export of rare earths, rare earth smelting technology has been improving in recent years, so from the original purchase of raw materials to the current purchase of semi-processed products, the income has further increased.
However, in the international market, whether it is rare earth or domestic export, the price of rare earth non-semi-finished products has not been raised. At the beginning, Yang Dongxu thought that as long as the rare earth mining was well controlled, there would be no private transactions, and it would not be a big problem to raise the price of export rare earths.
But now it seems that this problem was undoubtedly too simple for him at the beginning, and the country also hopes to raise the export price of rare earths, after all, if you can sell things at the price of gold, who wants to sell scrap iron?
But this is not to raise the price if you want to raise the price, not to mention the disagreement of those foreign businessmen joining forces, if the domestic side does not let go, it will not be easy for them to live.
First of all, rare earth reserves are indeed abundant in China, but this does not mean that other countries do not have them. At the same time, in order to develop the domestic economy, rare earths were one of the main channels for exporting foreign exchange.
You shut down this channel, although there is no loss in the export of rare earths, but your foreign exchange reserves have also responded, how can you buy technology, buy oil, and buy iron ore in the international world without foreign exchange?
You must know that the US dollar is the current hegemon of global transactions, and those shippers do not recognize it when they use RMB to settle with them.
Therefore, although the reprocessing and sale of semi-finished products of rare earths has increased the profits of many rare earth exports, the price of this rare earth export is still very aggrieved.
"Is there any progress in our rare earth element application research and development?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Because some of the rare earth element research is developed in collaboration with the above, a lot of the process is being kept secret. However, last month, there was good news from the rare earth element R&D room, and the research of europium has made great progress.
Not surprisingly, in the next six months to a year, Dongxu Technology's technology on the LCD screen will reach a new height. Ye Rongrong couldn't help but smile on her face and said.
"What about touchscreen technology?" Yang Dongxu continued.
While the breakthrough in LCD development is exciting news, touch screen technology is also a top priority. To put it mildly, even if Dongxu Technology will not be able to develop chip technology in the next ten years, with the absolutely leading touch screen technology, it will still be able to take a share of the future smartphone market.
"The light transmittance is still not very ideal, only 57% at present, and the screen glass is also a big problem. At present, whether it is domestic or international, it is impossible to find better glass as a touch screen screen, and the light transmittance is too low and the light loss is very high. ”
"If we can solve the glass problem, how much light transmittance can be achieved?"
"The experts in the research room said that it would increase by at least 7%. This is in the case of a glass single-sided reflection loss rate of 5%, if the glass quality can be further improved, there is still a lot of room for improvement in light transmittance. After all, glass is double-sided, and every percentage point of improvement is a double effect increase. Ye Rongrong looked at Yang Dongxu expectantly.
I hope that my omnipotent big boss can help the company solve this big problem. When she first saw the touchscreen technology hidden in the laboratory, Ye Rongrong instantly became fascinated by this little thing like shooting a science fiction movie.
At the same time, as the executive director of Dongxu Technology, her keen sense of business also made her understand for the first time that this is a new gold mine.
"What is the reflection loss rate of the glass currently in use?"
"About 6.5%, one-sided. ”
"It is possible to order glass with high light transmittance from major international glass manufacturers, using the current breakthrough of liquid crystal displays as an excuse.
As far as I know, there are several domestic glass factories whose technology is leading in the world, and it is really not possible to invest in research and development together. At the same time, pay more attention to the Apple side of the United States. ”
"They're also working on touchscreen projects?" Ye Rongrong frowned.
"It's not just the touchscreen project, it's even the touchscreen phone. It's too early to tell, but it won't be long before you can see touchscreen MP4s and the like.
Therefore, although the light transmittance is still not satisfied, while developing it, we will also convert this technology into production on MP4. After all, it's high-tech.
People haven't seen it before, as long as the picture is not too blurry, everyone's acceptance is still very high. It can just be taken out to give Dongxuke Technology a wave of fame. Yang Dongxu said.
"Then the secret of our research and development of touch screen will be exposed?"
"It's okay to simply expose it, after all, no one knows that our biggest goal is to make a touchscreen phone out of this. And our touchscreen technology is not the same as the touchscreen technology that is currently circulating on the market. Saying this, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but show an arrogant look on his face.
Touchscreen technology is actually nothing new, because it appeared very early, as early as 1971, someone in the United States invented touch sensors.
It's just that no one has ever used it on a mobile phone, and it makes people feel like a genius, so it's just that it's been tepid and not so amazing.
However, for the resistive touch screen with relatively mature technology on the market, Dongxu Technology has developed a capacitive touch screen. Although the latter is only slightly higher than the former in terms of light transmittance, it is the higher point that is the key to success and the absolute leadership of technology.
So Yang Dongxu really wants to see it, when everyone thinks that Dongxu Technology's touch screen is also a resistive touch screen, although it feels very good when used in MP4, but for people who really know how to do it, they don't care too much.
As a result, one day when Boss Qiao was advertising how crazy his love was, Dongxu Technology suddenly announced that his smartphone was using a more technologically advanced capacitive touch screen, what kind of expression did Boss Qiao have.
Of course, this is also in my heart, a company as big as Apple probably won't make such a common-sense mistake. As long as Dongxu Technology's touch screen is put on the market, a little check, you will know that this is a capacitive touch screen, not a traditional resistive touch screen.
But even if Boss Qiao touched the screen early, it was estimated that his expression at the time of learning the news must have been very exciting, but unfortunately, Yang Dongxu couldn't see it.
The negotiations with Nokia went very smoothly, especially after Yang Dongxu gave up his shares to replace Nokia and got rid of the situation that the parent company was controlled, some even sensitive technical counterparties began to make selective concessions.
After all, the current mobile phone market is too hot, and the shares in Yang Dongxu's hands are appreciating every day. At the beginning of the contract, the tone was to buy at a premium at the share price on the day of the signing.
It took five days for the negotiation team and Nokia to grind, and it wasn't until Adams suddenly came to Yanjing on the sixth day that the other party reluctantly agreed.
Therefore, on the one hand, every day of delay, I have to pay a lot more money on my side, and on the other hand, I get these shares one day earlier, and I will make money earlier. In such a dynamic trend, Nokia's side is quite positive.
Adams actually came to Yanjing this time specifically to send favors, although there are many bigwigs interested in the shares of Nokia's mobile phone business.
But Nokia is quite protective of food, and Nokia's mobile phone sales have hit new highs in recent years, so Nokia's shareholders are also wealthy, and it is a bit unrealistic to grab meat from their bowls to eat.
Therefore, Adams's positioning in Huaxia this time is very clear, that is, to be a spoiler, to send a favor to this mysterious man in the East, and further close the relationship between the other party and the First Bank, and completing this is equivalent to completing the task.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he was very sincere and sent a small favor from thousands of miles away, and he got a lot of rewards just after sending it away.
$1 billion in investment funds, even though First Bank's investment department is used to seeing all kinds of big money, a lot of money is just a series of numbers in Adams's view.
But when the other party casually gave him such an investment fund was the follow-up, Adams still took a deep breath on the spot to ease up.
"I don't know if Mr. Yang has any investment tendencies, if there is an investment tendency, we will formulate a professional financial plan according to your preferences. Adams, who came to his senses, appeared extremely calm and professional on the surface, but on the inside, he was self-critical.
As a professional financial consultant, after hearing the amount of funds provided by the customer, he was stunned instead of doing a good job of professional response. There is a feeling of being stunned by the money, which will undoubtedly leave a very bad impression on the guests.
"There are no special preferences, as long as you can make money, you are a professional in investing, so I believe you can maximize the return on this than your money. Yang Dongxu said with a smile, motioning for Adams to eat.
He obviously didn't care about Adams's stunned just now, because he knew that the other party was not stunned by the money. It's just that happiness came too suddenly, and I couldn't adapt to it for a while.
And it's just that there is such a loss of mind, and it has something to do with the current conversation environment. This is a Chinese restaurant, and more importantly, this is still a hot pot restaurant, and what you want is not a mandarin duck pot, but a spicy pot.
This is very different from the western restaurant where Adams often eats with his guests, or the café, or even the office where it is a place for negotiation.
Although when he explained above that he wanted to win Yang Dongxu, a big customer, he also had an in-depth understanding of the customs and living habits of the Chinese people, and even found a Chinese master to learn this aspect well, and at the same time he was making up for Chinese.
But the noisy environment of the hot pot restaurant, the stimulation of the extreme taste in the mouth, made him involuntarily a little abnormal, able to stabilize quickly, and calmly used a piece of hairy belly with chopsticks and put it into his bowl.
And there is no resistance or even rejection in the face of unfamiliar ingredients. It chewed very easily, and gave a thumbs up to praise the deliciousness, and there was a look of enjoyment on his face. This is definitely not something that ordinary foreigners can do.
Yang Dongxu can be sure that in order to try to get close to him, Adams, who diligently studied everything about Huaxia, absolutely did not know what a hairy belly was.
