Chapter 530: Inspect ATL

In order to lay out the development of forward-looking technology, Jiang Hui spent a whole day in Guanghui mobile phone before he began to inspect some manufacturers in the Guanghui mobile phone supply chain.

According to Jiang Hui's instructions, Guanghui Investment has invested in many suppliers of the mobile phone industry chain for more than a year. Among them, battery supplier ATL and screen supplier OFILM are the two core ones, and it just so happens that these two locations are in Shenzhen and Guancheng, so Jiang Hui is ready to inspect them.

The next ten years are destined to be a decade of reshuffling of the mobile phone industry and rapid technological development. In order to maintain its competitiveness, Guanghui Mobile must also keep its supply system competitive enough.

In addition, the current monthly production of Guanghui mobile phones is only one million units, and it will climb to two million in the next year. According to Jiang Hui's plan, the monthly production capacity will increase to four or five million in the second half of next year.

Although through factory expansion or OEM production, there is no problem in reaching four or five million in the second half of next year. But it's not enough to have no problems with the Brilliant phone itself, it also needs to have no problems with every supplier.

At present, all the batteries of GPHONE are provided by ATL, but only a small part of the screen is provided by OFILM, and the rest is found by Sharp.

Sharp, in the impression of many consumers and friends who have heard of the LCD industry, is the leader in the field of liquid crystal, and is known as the "father of liquid crystal". This company, which started with the production of mechanical pencils, is now the father of liquid crystal, and the industry span is large, and the success of asset operation is unimaginable.

Tokuji Hayakawa, the founder of Sharp, would never have imagined that the Sharp company he founded would develop into the leader of the LCD field today.

In 1912, an ordinary metal craftsman workshop was born in a small house in a corner of Tokyo's commercial craftsman quarter, and the founder's name was Hayakawa Tokuji. He created delicate metal hair accessories for women based on traditional craftsmanship, and at the age of 19 he became one of the most famous craftsmen, and his talent is staggering. Subsequently, he designed a unique buckle belt buckle, named "De Tail Lock", and obtained a new invention patent, and this convenient belt buckle is still used today.

However, Sharp's most glorious time was only these two years, and then it began to decline, and finally fell to the point of being acquired by Treasure Island Hon Hai.

At present, OFILM's touch screen technology is not very mature, so Jiang Hui does not dare to use it on GPHONE on a large scale, but in another half a year, it should be able to greatly increase the proportion of use.

As for the battery, ATL itself is now a supplier of top international manufacturers such as Apple and Panasonic, and it can be said that it is already one of the giants in the consumer electronics battery industry, and there is no need for Guanghui mobile phones to develop other battery manufacturers.

Of course, the main reason for not developing a second battery factory is that ATL is controlled by Radiance Investment, and even if it is not competitive, Radiance Mobile will be vigorously supported, not to mention that people are still so competitive.

……

OFILM, Jiang Hui took Dai Fuqian, Guan Weidong and others to inspect.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the screen we supply to Guanghui mobile phone, and we are currently vigorously improving the yield rate of the screen," Mr. Lin of OFILM introduced to Jiang Hui.

For all kinds of screens, the improvement of yield rate is not only related to production, but also closely related to cost. If you imagine that the yield rate is only 50%, it is equivalent to throwing one away, and the glorious mobile phone is not so tyrant.

"Touch screen is the future development direction of the screen, the company must concentrate on overcoming the difficulties of the process, whether the funds are not enough, or the lack of manpower, you can find a coordinated solution, and I will personally promote it if I can't do it", Jiang Hui said while looking at the sample.

"We have recently introduced some foreign patents to develop our new generation of products on the basis of digestion and absorption."

"The development trend of touch screen technology has the characteristics of specialization, multimedia, three-dimensional and large screen. Guanghui mobile phone will also start a new project immediately, and you should work closely with Guanghui mobile phone R&D center to strive to make all products of Guanghui mobile phone use OFILM's screen."

……

After OFILM's inspection for half a day, Jiang Hui and others came to ATL, which was 100 kilometers away.

As the leader of high-end lithium batteries in China, ATL is the most important parts company of Jianghui. Not only can Guanghui mobile phones and Guanghui drones be used, but there will be a lot of demand for electric vehicles of Guanghui Automobile in the future.

Therefore, since the acquisition of ATL, Jianghui has increased its investment in ATL's research and development, and has newly established a power battery research and development department to be responsible for the development of automotive batteries.

It is now the end of 2006, and there is no surprise that next year the Korn Ferry Group will acquire Jaguar Land Rover and establish the Korn Ferry Automobile, when the Jaguar brand, the Land Rover brand and the Korn Glory brand three projects together, will surely make the Korn Glory Group's car business have a great deal.

"Mr. Jiang, this year, after using our new formula, our lithium battery has increased its energy density by eight points, and it has begun to be mass-produced and used on the X2 of the Guanghui UAV. We have also invested heavily in research into new cathode and anode materials and electrolytes, and our goal is to increase our energy density by more than 20 percent within three years," said Mr. Zeng, head of ATL, to Jiang Hui.

The so-called energy density is the amount of energy contained in a unit volume, which is the most appropriate measure for a battery. By comparing the amount of power stored in a unit volume of battery, it is relatively easy to grasp the technical level of the battery.

Generally, under the same volume, the energy density of lithium-ion batteries is 2.5 times that of nickel-cadmium batteries and 1.8 times that of nickel-metal hydride batteries, so under the condition that the battery capacity is equal, lithium-ion batteries will be smaller in size and lighter in weight than nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries.

"In addition to continuing to improve the energy density of batteries, we must increase investment in battery management systems, and we must develop the world's most advanced, most efficient and safest battery management system," Jiang Hui said.

For mobile phones, in addition to increasing the energy density of the battery and increasing the battery size, another feasible way to improve the battery life is to optimize the battery management system, so that the mobile phone can reduce energy consumption while achieving the same function.

If this system is done, it can also be deployed horizontally on electric vehicles in the future, but the system will become more complex and the safety requirements will be higher.

"I understand that our ATL is now the most important company in R&D investment among all battery factories in China, and we have a relatively high starting point, I believe that in a few years, ATL will become the leader of the domestic lithium battery industry." both in terms of technology and scale".

"If ATL can become the number one in the world, I will give five points of share dividends every year to give bonuses to all employees of the company," Jiang Hui said.
