When Duke was ready to leave for the United States, there was bad news from the project side, Mayor Huang rejected the new display material construction project actively promoted by Secretary Wang, and the government put it on hold because the technology was immature, and it was one thing for the company to do it on its own, but this project had to apply for a financial subsidy loan, and Mayor Huang said that "the conditions are not ripe." ”

Although Zhao Heng communicated with Mayor Huang several times in private, but this thing is a brand new and has not been verified after all, in Mayor Huang's opinion, it is a bit nonsense, there are only sample prototypes, no actual products, not to mention market reactions, everything is still in the laboratory, and it is necessary to invest in such a huge project.

It's not nonsense, whether others believe it or not, anyway, Mayor Huang doesn't believe it. Although Zhao Heng had euphemistically reported Duke's glorious deeds to Mayor Huang, Mayor Huang still held a skeptical gaze, at this point, it should be said that Mayor Huang's first reaction was that there was nothing to find fault with.

Under normal circumstances, at least after the production process of this thing is verified, it can be talked about entering the implementation stage, and things like Duke are not uncommon in China, but the results that Mayor Huang saw were all very miserable without exception, and the huge investment of the state was turned into the so-called tuition fees were wasted.

Mayor Huang didn't know why his subordinates actually pushed Zhao Heng hard, and he even wondered if Zhao Heng had received any benefits from the SAL company.

"Duke, now Mayor Huang is dead and alive, Secretary Zhao doesn't dare to say it anymore, because Mayor Huang even began to wonder if Secretary Zhao had something to do with SAL." Zhao Jianwu reported to Duke with a bitter face.

Everyone has always been invincible, but this time they encountered unexpected resistance, and Zhao Jianwu was a little panicked for a while. He was involved in the construction budget and investment at all stages, knowing that without government loans, it would be impossible for the project to be completed on time, after all, the gap in funds was too big, and without government guarantees, the bank would never be able to lend such a huge amount of money.

Duke also frowned when he heard this, so it seems that the possibility of completing this display material production base this year is very low. The display of the first generation of new phones seems to have to use the traditional, originally conceived new phones, and the hope of winning in hardware is slim.

It seems that there are still a lot of problems with this layout, and some things are still taken for granted.

"This thing is put aside first, the plant construction still has to be carried out on schedule, the production line equipment is waiting for the time being, since the funding gap is now large, we focus on the completion of the plant first, a single phase of land is not enough, the second phase of the plant construction is also the first to move." Duke thought about it and decided to continue the construction of this project, leaving the most expensive part to wait for the funds to be paid.

Unlike others who are still skeptical about this project, Duke doesn't have to worry about this new display at all technically, and in terms of performance parameters, Duke is not worried that this thing will not sell when it is produced. Therefore, this base will have to be built sooner or later, and now we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to do a good job in the early stage, and we will be able to quickly launch it as soon as the funds are in place.

The money for the construction of the plant,SAL is not at all pressure,Now there are not only hundreds of millions of dollars in the account,There is also a large amount of cash inflow every month,Whether it is navigation or Sala input method advertising revenue,Now it is a goose that will lay golden eggs。

"Duke, I don't think this matter will be so big as it gets" Zhao Jianwu didn't have as much confidence as Duke after hitting the wall, he originally wanted to pause the whole thing, who knew that Duke not only didn't stop, but also put the second phase of the plant project on it.

"Brother Wu, I am confident in this product, you have also seen the prototype, where are the technical advantages, the production process of the American laboratory is now fully developed, and the progress is also very smooth, the preliminary design of the production line has been basically completed, and then they began to conduct simulation tests. In a few months, the line design will be complete. ”

"This project is not only about selling the display, but also closely related to our mobile phone strategy, in terms of characteristics, this kind of display is more suitable for mobile phones than any current product."

Thinking that Zhao Jianwu didn't know much about the progress of this thing, Duke patiently explained.

"Then do as you say. Honestly, I'm not sure, but that's okay, you've always been the one who has done miracles to us. I'm sure this time is no exception. "Zhao Jianwu doesn't know what to do, but fortunately, Duke has always been the one who brings miracles to everyone, since he is so confident, then follow it, anyway, it's a big deal to throw in hundreds of millions of dollars to play.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not so pessimistic, even if this display screen cannot be produced in the end, it is not very difficult to change the project to do others, such as navigation production, the current MI China Electronics has been completely saturated, and TOMTOM's Belgian factory has taken off the original product and made every effort to produce the Sirius series.

If we can build another navigation factory in China to produce TOMTOM's original products as a low-end package, it is also a good deal, you must know that the annual sales of TOMTOM's original products are more than one billion euros.

Although high-end products are now replaced by the Sirius series, Zhao Jianwu thinks it is still more reliable to enter the low-end market of more than 1,000 yuan and make annual sales of 2 to 3 billion yuan a year. He is quite familiar with this work, and if he uses the original TOMTOM products to impact this market advantage, it is still more obvious.

It's just that the gross profit margin of this is relatively low, the high-end has more than 50% gross profit space, and the low-end can do about 30% is already very good.

After dealing with Zhao Jianwu's tricky matter, Duke received an invitation from Vice President Liu of HKUST, although Duke and HKUST have a joint research project, but it is just a convenient excuse to hand over what Duke has developed, but isn't the lunar rover project already in its final stages?

According to the feedback back, the various tests of the lunar rover have been very successful, and now it has entered the final step of finalized production, and there is usually no major improvement at this stage, so Duke feels that there should be nothing wrong with the work over there, so what does this Vice President Liu mean by inviting himself?

And I don't have any personal relationship with Vice President Liu, so this invitation will not be a reminiscence.

Thinking of this, Duke couldn't help but be a little surprised.
