Chapter 208: Corning Inc

The next day, Tuesday, April 12, Xiao Qi got out of bed early in the morning, got into a taxi, and went to Corning in upstate New York, where he spent a day signing a custom contract with Corning for tempered glass.

Corning may not be so famous in the eyes of Chinese people, but this Fortune 500 company is a leader in the American glass industry, which is equivalent to the status of Jingdezhen porcelain in the eyes of Chinese people.

Xiao Qi requires 9.7-inch tempered glass with a thickness of 1mm, and the strength is still up to S level, which may be difficult for other companies, but in Corning, it is not a problem at all.

Several managers looked at Xiao Qi's order size and other requirements, and directly asked Xiao Qi to go around Kangning City, have a light meal and come over, and then you can see the finished product.

Xiao Qi was shocked by the efficiency of this group of people, so he accompanied by a beautiful woman from the public relations department of Corning, he took a look in the small town of Corning, and by the way, he happily ate the most famous devil's sandwich in Corning City-that is, the extra-large bread and the extra-large meat and vegetables together.

However, the devil's sandwich with a little green onion tastes good, in the process of eating, Xiao Qi began to exercise his eloquence again, and it didn't take long to make the beauty laugh for the Nth time today, looking at Xiao Qi's eyes were also full of appreciation, if the teenager proposed a pleasant date tonight, it is estimated that it would not be difficult to get the beauty into bed.

American girls, especially girls who are not married, are very open to happiness, and if they like this man, they can have a beautiful night.

Look at the beautiful woman's delicate eyes. Xiao Qi immediately knew that he couldn't go overboard, so he gradually turned the content of the conversation to other aspects, so as not to be eaten by this beauty later, that is sorry for the fairy and Meiji.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Meiren'er to receive a call from the company, and she reluctantly returned to Corning with Xiao Qi.

Approaching the time when Xiao Qi followed the managers into the finished product workshop. The beauty hugged Xiao Qi before leaving, and by the way, she also kissed Xiao Qi on the face, so that several managers secretly gave Xiao Qi a thumbs up.

Gossip aside, under the leadership of the managers, Xiao Qi passed by several large factories, and Zuihou came to a huge finished product workshop with a very fine division of labor.

Many small shuttle buses in the factory are moving back and forth outside the workshop, and many of the finished products that have been made are placed in a fixed area. The quantity is not very large, and the probability of looking like a sample is even more than the production of a finished product in large quantities.

Sure enough, after Xiao Qi entered one of the rooms, there were already two or three jishu workers waiting.

With a gesture from one of the managers, Jishu workers lifted the mask from the milky white workbench, revealing three pieces of ultra-thin glass with a slightly dark tint.

"9.7 inches...... 1mm thickness ...... MTT is added to soften the color of the glass...... Enhancement Grade S...... Excellent conductivity......"

The manager repeats each of Xiao Qi's requests. Jishu workers test a jishu indicator, and all the tests are very strict and institutionalized. Xiao Qi can observe all the processes.

Including the conduction performance of zuihou, although Corning's tempered glass is very expensive, but you get what you pay for, and many expensive high-end mobile phones will use its tempered glass, so for the touch conduction function. They also have their own set of purchased instruments that can fully test the conductivity of multi-touch touches.

CORNING HAS PROVEN TO BE THE LEADER OF AMERICAN GLASS COMPANIES, AND THE TEMPERED GLASS THAT SHOULD HAVE APPEARED ON IPHONES AND IPADS IS OF PRETTY GOOD QUALITY. IT COMPLETELY MET XIAO QI'S EXPECTATIONS, AND THE FEELING OF HOLDING IT IN HIS HAND WAS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM WHEN HE USED IT WITH AN IPAD.

The quality is passed, and all that remains is price negotiation.

Xiao Qi had also done some research before he came, and he knew the approximate price of Corning, but Corning didn't know how big Xiao Qi's business was, so they were very sad to be fooled.

"The order quantity is more than 1 million pieces, and the price is $10 per piece; More than 5 million pieces, the price is $8 per piece; For more than 10 million pieces, the price is $6 per piece; For more than 20 million pieces, the price is $5 per piece. …… If the annual order exceeds 20 million pieces, this price will remain unchanged for three years. ”

Of course, in addition, starting from Corning's supply contract, Xiao Qi signed every supply contract, and asked them to keep it strictly confidential and not to disclose the news of his order.

The price of each piece of tempered glass is five dollars, and Corning still earns it, but it is a small profit but a quick turnover.

However, the managers of Corning do not think that they will make small profits but sell quickly, they think that a Chinese electronic product can sell two or three million units a year, which is already the sky, so the price of ten dollars per piece is definitely a huge profit.

As a deposit, Xiao Qi handed over $5 million when he signed the contract, and asked Corning to send 100 samples to Chenhong Optoelectronics and Shenghua Technology in Baodao, where they integrated touch screens, LCD screens and tempered glass to make products more haode.

As the saying goes, good things usually follow, and after Shaw returned to the Hilton Hotel in the evening, he received a call from a private detective company. A stack of materials from Tovaz was delivered to Xiao Qi's room.

After coming out of Quanmeida, their family moved to New York, and now they are helping a jishu company to do some system construction tasks, and at the same time they are improving and developing his LINUX system in their spare time.

Linus is not a money-loving person, and he doesn't like to enjoy much, so he lives in a very popular place, just in an apartment next to a school, a somewhat noisy environment, which is not suitable for the work of programmers, but he also enjoys it, and will take his children out to play with a smile every day.

What he is most afraid of doing business is people who have no desires, but Linus is this kind of person, so he dares to scold Joe, the vice president of Microsoft, and the president of Nokia in the Americas...... As long as he feels that the desire for profit is consumed, he dares to scold.

However, because of his outstanding achievements, the Qiao gang leader and they will not bother with him - anyone with extraordinary abilities should be respected, this is the consensus of the people who engage in jishu. (To be continued.) )
