China time, the evening of July 30.

Google officially announced the acquisition of LG mobile phone division, HTC, as well as Nokia mobile phone division, Finland HMD.

This news is like dropping a bombshell around the world, quickly occupying major media headlines.

In the past three months, the mobile phone war, which has always been full of gunsmoke, has finally ushered in the final madness.

At this point, the Warring States Period, which was divided by the heroes, has completely come to an end, and outside of China, there are only three major players, Samsung, Apple, and Google.

Others, such as LG, Nokia, HTC, and Alcatel, have all become yesterday's yellow flowers, and have completely disappeared from the stage of mobile phone industry history.

In China, the Big Four frantically acquired other small and medium-sized manufacturers, and the pattern of the world's top seven was officially formed.

With the exception of Transsion, which was mixed in Africa, they became an exception in this brutal war.

Even Nokia and LG have given up treatment, but they are still alive and well alive in Africa...

Only one day later, Luo Jia suddenly received a call from Huawei's general manager.

"Do you know what day tomorrow is?" Mr. Ren asked.

Luo Jia smiled, "Of course, tomorrow is the day when your new mobile phone goes on the market, I saw that the posters of the major stores have been posted, and people on the Internet are talking about it, how can we grab the goods as soon as possible." ”

Mr. Ren laughed heartily, "To be precise, it is our new mobile phone, without your energy wave wireless charging module, without your front and rear cameras, without your mobile phone assistant, there will be no epoch-making new products, let me say, the biggest credit this time is Xingchen Technology." ”

"Don't say much politely, I'm in Kunshan, do you have time to visit?"

"What? Mr. Ren wants to invite me to dinner? ”

"The rice is to be eaten, but there are some other things, you will know when you come."

Hanging up the phone, Luo Jia got into his Tesla and went straight to Kunshan.

Other people's face can not be given, but Mr. Ren personally invited, and it is still necessary to respect.

Along the way, Luo Jia looked out to see the vehicles driving on the road.

Recently, he has become more and more dislike of his car, and the battery life is too poor.

said that he could run 400 kilometers, but Luo Jia drove fiercely, and with the air conditioner turned on in the hot weather, he couldn't run 300 kilometers to death.

He pondered that he could change to a traditional gasoline car, at least without worrying about the battery life.

......

On the outskirts of Kunshan, a large LCD factory.

Mr. Ren's secretary waited for Luo Jia outside the factory and brought him directly into the workshop.

Mr. Ren and several assistants are looking around the production line, the equipment is almost brand new, Luo Jia has heard of this factory in his memory, Jinghong Display, a not very famous display manufacturer in China, the headquarters seems to be in Dongguan, and Huawei has just moved its headquarters there.

"This is the eight-point five generation line that was just built last year, although it can't be compared with BOE's ten point five generation line, but it has also invested a lot of money, about a little more than 10 billion." Mr. Ren pointed to the production line and said.

Luo Jia frowned, "Why do you tell me this?" ”

Mr. Ren asked rhetorically: "I heard that you have been in trouble with funds recently?" ”

Luo Jia nodded, "Yes, we want to enter the display industry, but the purchase of production lines and equipment exceeds the company's current financial resources, and we are applying for a loan from the bank." ”

Mr. Ren waved his hand, "No need to find a bank, this eight-point five-generation line is seeking to be sold, with a 20% discount, how about selling it to you for 8 billion?" ”

Luo Jia smiled bitterly, "I can't take out eight billion yuan, and I have to find financing in the end." ”

Mr. Ren smiled, "Three-year interest-free loans, four of us, each of them will lend you two billion, even if you repay the favor, if you want, immediately call the finance and legal affairs to sign the contract." ”

Luo Jia was taken aback, he began to carefully observe this 8.5 generation production line, the equipment is almost brand new, just the Nikon FX85 exposure machine, a full sixteen units have been installed.

You must know that the unit price of this kind of exposure machine imported from neon exceeds 200 million, and the exposure equipment of this production line alone has reached an astonishing 3.2 billion yuan.

Eight billion yuan, obviously Luo Jia took a big advantage!

And, in addition to the production line, there are skilled workers.

If he opens a new factory by himself, the training of workers and engineers alone is enough for Luo Jia to have a headache.

"Isn't that embarrassing? Buy a factory with your money, it's so cheap. Luo Jia said.

Mr. Ren shook his head, "There's nothing to be ashamed of, you are our most important supplier, and it is our favorite category, only providing products, and we have no competition." ”

"It's not like Samsung, which on the one hand sells us screens and flash memory, and on the other hand, it has a lot to do with us in the mobile phone market."

"With Samsung, we always have to keep a hand, as for you, you deserve our absolute trust!"

Ren finally told the truth.

Luo Jia's Xingchen Technology belongs to the invisible giants, pure suppliers, only making products, not the market, and the Big Four have no commercial disputes, some are all benefits, and take care of each other.

Luo Jia's top-level design of the company has begun to play an effect, and the trust of the four giants in Xingchen Technology is by no means comparable to Samsung.

"Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more, and I hope we will continue to cooperate sincerely in the future."

Luo Jia stretched out his right hand, shook it with Mr. Ren, and then notified the company's finance and legal affairs to come over to handle the handover.

"Why don't you make OLEDs?" Before leaving, Mr. Ren also asked the same question as Enron.

"In addition to the high cost, we really can't make the evaporator." Luo Jia told the truth to Mr. Ren.

The relocation of extraterrestrial civilization to Luo Jia's brain is a long process, and the knowledge that has entered his mind is very basic.

Luo Jia pondered for a long time, but could not find a solution to the problem of the evaporator, coupled with cost and market considerations, he finally decided to take the mature LCD route.

......

The dust has settled on the production line, and the scale of Xingchen Technology has exceeded 1,000 people for the first time.

The newly opened display division is the largest department in the company's history, and the software center in charge of Li Moran is also quietly recruiting.

Luo Jia became busier than a rabbit again, he wandered between the various project teams, constantly prompting and guiding them, the direction of research and improvement, and taking the whole company, at the same time on the two roads of display and operating system, going faster and faster.

On August 1st, the flames of war once again burned the whole world!

The press conference on July 16 was just a warm-up for new products.

After half a month of intense preparation, Samsung and Apple's 4,000-screen folding mobile phones, and the full-screen wireless charging mobile phones of the Big Four finally began to distribute a large number of goods around the world, frantically pushing new products to the market and launching a desperate battle.

With the world's major players overwhelmed and forced to withdraw from the battlefield, the last seven giants who are still alive are completely desperate and crazy, pushing this all-out war that has lasted for three whole months to the final climax.

In August, another interesting thing happened.

The Indian authorities have lodged a serious protest against the Big Four and other domestic companies, and in the last two months, almost all factories in India have been shut down and withdrawn from the country.

As a result, India's mobile phone manufacturing industry, which has just shown signs of rising, was directly cut off, which made the Indian authorities extremely angry.

A few years ago, India relied on rogue tariffs to force the Big Four to set up factories in India.

If you produce mobile phones in India, you only need to pay a small amount of taxes, but if you import mobile phones, it will be difficult for customs to say that the tariffs are even higher.

As a result, the Big Four were forced to set up factories in India, where they endured poor conditions, poor infrastructure, and ignorant workers.

However, the situation is different now, the key components of Xingchen Technology are not exported, and are only sold domestically.

The Big Four's factories in India, no matter how much money they spend, can't buy under-display cameras and wireless charging modules.

What's going on?

As a result, the Big Four directly withdrew their capital from India on a large scale and returned to China to open new factories, leaving India with chicken feathers.

As for high tariffs, then high.

Huaxia sells 2,000 mobile phones, India sells 3,000, 3,005.

There is no way, India itself has to collect tariffs, and if consumers think it is expensive, they should scold your own government.

For a time, the Indian authorities were not human beings inside and out.

Big financiers like the Big Four have run away, employees have lost their jobs and taken to the streets to demonstrate, and domestic consumers have scolded the exorbitant tariffs and the incompetence of the authorities.

Savvy businessmen began smuggling large quantities of mobile phones into India from neighboring Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal.

For a time, India's major gateways were crowded, and they used trucks and manpower to transport domestic mobile phones into India.

The unprecedented scale of smuggling activities has had a profound impact on the Indian economy, and tax revenues have plummeted, with The Economist predicting that India's GDP will plummet by 0.6 percentage points in the third quarter.
