Three days after the agreement was signed, the money and share agreement were in hand.

The U.S. account deposits have increased rapidly, but unfortunately there are many items that need to be spent this year, racetracks and velodromes will be delivered in the near future, at least 500 million will be spent, and then the cruise ship that took two and a half years to order is expected to be delivered in December this year, and 1.4 billion US dollars need to be paid.

These two billion have already been spent...... Wait until next time, he will have a free amount of money, but there will also be a large amount of taxes to pay.

At the beginning of May, An Feng traveled to Austin, ready to stay for a few more days.

In addition to the two R&D divisions of batteries and chips, GP is also engaged in the development of more than a dozen fields, including nanoelectronic components, solar cells, sensors and flexible screens. Due to the nature of GP as a holding group, each of its projects can be developed into a subsidiary.

An Feng came across the crystallization of a new technology: a flexible screen.

In the lab, he saw a sample for display: a mobile phone. In fact, it is a certain brand of mobile phone that has replaced the glass screen, with a 5.5-inch plastic body, and due to the characteristics of graphene, it has good toughness - its screen can be bent at a large angle, or even curled.

An Feng bent the screen sample, unfolded it again, and nodded: "The toughness is good!" ”

A technician said: "The solidity of the graphene screen is far greater than that of ordinary mobile phones. ”

"Can I fall?" An Feng picked up the mobile phone on the side.

"Feel free." The technician is very confident.

As soon as the voice fell, An Feng let go, the phone fell to the floor from a chest-high height, the back cover fell off, he bent down to pick it up and looked, the frame fell off a little paint, but the screen was fine, and it could be used as usual. He fell a few more times. The result is similar, connect to the Wi-Fi network, and still chat online.

"Can you hit it with a hammer?" An Feng asked.

"You can try." The technician said his assistant handed over a small hammer to smash a walnut.

An Feng took the hammer, put the phone on the table, and raised the hammer in his hand. The center of the screen took a beat, picked it up and looked at it, and the position that was knocked was spent, but it didn't shatter, and it was used normally after unlocking. Wipe it clean, the display is clear and bright, and it is no different from the original, what a magical phone.

An Feng confidently came a few more times...... The screen is not much broken, but the electronic originals are rotten.

The technician was speechless: "Sir." You're pushing too hard. ”

An Feng smiled awkwardly: "Yes, it's not just graphene used in this, right?" ”

"There is a very small amount of mixed material that increases the band gap between electrons, mainly so that it does not interfere with the operation of logical operations," the technologist said. In addition, if the one-piece design of the metal frame is adopted, it will be many times stronger than the current plastic prototype, and will not rot after a few hits. ”

"Sir, you can look at these, they are all screen samples." The technician handed him the monolithic screen.

An Feng tried some violent means. Hammers, knives, etc., but it takes a lot of effort to break it.

This is naturally due to "carbon". As we all know, diamond is composed of carbon atoms, and graphene is also carbon, the arrangement of atoms determines its own strength, and the hardness of the products it makes will be far more than the general sense of glass screens.

An Feng suddenly thought of a very old stalk: I picked up a mouse pad on the side of the road today. If you want to get a computer, what else is missing?

It's funny...... When he was holding the flexible screen, he thought of building a mobile phone.

Graphene screens have obvious advantages, and with high-tech such as batteries and chips, it must be an artifact when assembled. It's just that there are too many things going on with GP at the moment. The research and development of chips occupies the main position, and this year they are going to release chips for microprocessors, and they have not been able to put too much effort into the screen.

The company doesn't have time, but it doesn't mean that An Feng is not interested.

He planned to set up some industries outside the United States...... For example, the United Kingdom or China. At present, too many are concentrated in the United States, although it is said that it can increase capital, but there are two giants of batteries and chips, and the screen or mobile phone is a bit inconspicuous, but it is different in other countries.

In the case of the United Kingdom, although it is still one of the top industrial countries, it cannot be denied that the UK's manufacturing industry is facing a continued downturn, and more people are switching to the service industry. Most of Europe's industry was concentrated in Germany, and British industry was in decline.

Coupled with the fact that Russia and Europe have been fighting fiercely in recent years and their economies are weak, the UK is looking forward to injecting fresh blood to stimulate economic growth. On the other hand, it was also a way to increase personal strength, and Joanna made a name for herself in England, expanding her influence and gaining merit.

The market for this flexible screen is not small, and if a mobile phone is launched, there is still hope.

And the brand of the phone...... The first thing that flashed in An Feng's mind was the legendary Nokia that could block bullets. After Nokia's mobile phone division was acquired by Microsoft several years ago, even the name of the building was changed, and only the "NOKIA" logo reminded people that it had not completely disappeared.

After the new boss, Nokia mobile phones were not reborn, and they also dragged down Microsoft, and after several waves of layoffs, there was not much left of the foundation. An Feng is not interested in anything else, he likes the "NOKIA" logo, and the impression it gives people "sturdy and durable".

The graphene screen can withstand the hammer smashing, and "NOKIA" matches it very well.

But this brand logo is not cheap.

Microsoft, which acquired Nokia's devices and mobile divisions, spent more than $7 billion, of which about $5 billion was in the devices and services division. The remaining 2.18 billion is a patent license, which will give the Lumia and Asha brands, as well as the "Nokia" brand, to Microsoft for a period of 10 years.

Although the value of using the "Nokia" brand has not been announced, after removing 8,500 design patents, 30,000 utility patents and patent applications for 2.18 billion US dollars, it is estimated that the use of this brand alone is worth more than 500 million yuan - the good news is that Microsoft's mobile phones have been "soft".

Nokia has become a chicken rib for Microsoft, and in the years since Microsoft acquired it, the mobile phone business has not improved much, but there has been a global layoff. MICROSOFT USES NOKIA'S PLATFORM TO PROMOTE MOBILE DEVICES, BUT IT ALSO SLOWLY FADES THE IMPRESSION OF "NOKIA" TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD, AND ULTIMATELY MAKES A PROFIT FOR ITSELF.

It's like Google's acquisition of Motorola, which is out of play.

Therefore, the current situation of the Nokia brand logo in Microsoft is worthless, I don't want to use it, and I don't want to use it.

Take advantage of these factors. GP and Microsoft in conversation.

In addition, he also held a meeting to let the company's directors understand the process of the matter and An Feng's ideas.

It mainly talks about the results that may be achieved in the mobile phone business with the help of batteries, microprocessor chips, and flexible screens, and the specific technical advantages are explained by the technical practitioners. An Feng expressed his thoughts. I hope to be able to get the right to use the five letters "NOKIA".

As the absolute controlling shareholder of GP Company, An Feng can decide things with one vote, but in the development of the company, the consortium has made a lot of efforts, and without their relationship and influence, the company's way forward will be very tortuous. Now the company is buying Maserati, and suddenly it is working on mobile phones, which is too complicated.

An Feng said later: "If the company has financial difficulties, you can make me the main investor." The company carries out technical licensing. ”

After discussion, everyone agreed.

At present, GP's capital chain is a little tight, the acquisition of Maserati is expected to cost $4.5 billion, plus business expansion, etc., has already loaned $1.5 billion to Yuntong, and is still spending money to prepare for GP Energy's listing next year, and then buy Microsoft's worthless brand, which is very irrational.

The result of the final discussion was that GP would invest about 20% of the shares. An Feng is responsible for the rest, and he can also find other partners. And in the plan of negotiations with Microsoft. GP only needs Nokia's brand logo and the rest of its useful life, and nothing else is considered.

It may cost five to one billion, but it is acceptable for An Feng, and the company also bears a part. In terms of the distinctive characteristics of the new technique, it is not impossible. It's just that it's not ranked higher than GP companies in a more lucrative field, and he is in a hurry to push it to the forefront, and it ends up like this.

……

Afterwards, Bazel approached him.

"Nothing else. The company has limited funds and can't take care of all aspects, but I'm interested in mobile devices, I heard that you are setting up a company in the UK? Bazel asked.

An Feng said: "That's right, I mainly want to do it in the name of Joanna and expand my influence." ”

It is not surprising that Bazel knew early on that he wanted to give Joanna a medal and knighthood: "That's fine, the mobile phone business is not very profitable for GP companies, but it is also an optional project for individual investors." I'm going to make venture capital, and I'm going to have friends in the UK. ”

"Really?" An Feng was surprised.

"If you show investors the technology that has just been shown, there's going to be a lot of interest. Then there are GP companies in the battery and chip tailor-made, as well as technical support, many people will invest. It's just that...... Standing at the top of the company, it's not worth it. Bazel said.

"I know." An Feng nodded.

……

Planning for the establishment of a mobile device company began.

But it's not enough to have styling and hardware, referring to Nokia, it is dead on the mobile phone system, so it is very important to have a system with its own characteristics, and then use Microsoft's WP? Nokia just died on this, with Android? This is also a bit back-and-forth and spineless.

After the last, An Feng decided to come in person.

Design it yourself – copy the operating system, which is a matter of spending some time as a coder. There are a lot of encyclopedia brain projects available, flip back, find a good one, strong compatibility, in the virtual environment can be compatible with Android or Apple software, merge the two.

It's similar to ...... Virtual machine. As long as the hardware is strong enough, the virtual machine running under the root system can not only emulate the environment of the Android system, but also imitate Apple's or even the Windows system of the PC.

So the notion that software is compatible does not exist.

And the system that stores itself on a physical hard disk is also very promising...... After all, it is the brainchild of the future.

After a few days of program ape, I finished writing the mobile phone system without any mistakes, tried it on the prototype, and felt okay, and then saved some information and stored it in the company's server, giving the software development team some inspiration and letting them freely play creative.

When I came into contact with this batch of systems, I was surprised to find that it was easy to use, open, and had a super hardware platform as a foundation, and the speed of the mobile phone experience was no less than that of a microcomputer. Then there is ultra-thin, anti-falling, and even solar charging technology that can be added in the later stage, and the competitiveness is not weak. (To be continued......)
