Chapter 16: Taking the stage
"Kim Jae-eun?"
When Zhou Zhen looked to the right, he also showed a stunned expression.
Stick countrymen?
Zhou Zhen didn't expect that there was a stick sitting next to him.
And this name, Zhou Zhen still sounds faintly familiar.
However, when Zhou Zhen heard Shen Cong introduce the screen of the Blue Factory X9 series, he finally remembered who Kim Jae-eun was.
Senior engineer and director of Sansang screen R&D!
As for where Zhou Zhen heard this name, it was during a quarrel in his previous life.
To be honest, there are only three core personnel in Rouyu Company.
Chairman Zhou Zhen is responsible for the design of the panel and the improvement of the production process.
Liu Peng, deputy general manager, is mainly responsible for the design of panel display chips.
Director He Wei is mainly responsible for the research and development of LCD panel materials and the procurement of corresponding materials, and is also the person in charge of the company's supply chain of high-end raw materials.
In the early days, the company relied on the efforts of the three of them, and gradually made corresponding breakthroughs in the entire screen panel technology.
It's just that in the later stage, due to the lack of sales channels and the lack of corresponding funds, the commercial building established by the three of them collapsed.
Liu Peng was diagnosed with stomach cancer at the end of 2018, and finally did not survive to the Lunar New Year in 2019, and finally passed away silently in the tears of Zhou Zhen and He Wei.
Know that triangles are the most stable shapes.
Liu Peng's departure made several people who were once familiar look detached.
And He Wei left Rouyu Company at the end of 19, and finally joined Sansang's screen laboratory and became the core personnel of the laboratory.
As for the person in charge of this screen lab, it is the owner of the seat on Zhou Zhen's right, Kim Jae-eun.
And this time, the X9 series to be released by the blue factory actually uses the screens of two manufacturers in terms of screens.
Among them, the ordinary version uses the OLED screen of the soft feather company.
However, in terms of the large cup version of the series this time, the overall reputation is adopted, and the AMOLED screen of Sansang is even better.
To be honest, when Zhou Zhen heard Shen Cong say that "Blue Factory X7Plus uses a better Sansang amoled screen", Zhou Zhen felt very uncomfortable.
But there is no way around it.
Sansang is still a leading enterprise in the industry, and it is also an upscale supplier that various mobile phone manufacturers need to frantically woo.
Even to put it mildly, Sansang is the "father" of most mobile phone manufacturers!
In addition to screens, Sansang has a certain position in various fields such as semiconductors (chips, flash memory), image sensors, etc.
Take the "Android Light" produced by a certain company in 2021 as an example.
Screen, from Sansang!
Processor chips, Sansang foundry!
Flash memory, produced by Sansan!
The rear super-large bottom image sensor, produced by Sansang!
The 20 million pixel front sensor, which has not changed for 10,000 years, is also produced by Sansang.
The domestic flagship, known as the "light of Android", is half from Paste Tong and half from Sansang.
Not only the "light of Android", the vast majority of domestic flagships still rely entirely on Sansang in terms of product hardware configuration.
Not only because Sansang's screen is the top in the industry!
After all, Sansang already has a certain say in the upstream supply chain market.
The current domestic manufacturers really "can't afford to provoke" Sansang!
Even now Zhou Zhen didn't dare to go to Sansang's trouble.
After all, if Zhou Zhen provokes Sansang in a hurry, Sansang will directly come up with a two-choice strategy, I'm afraid that Rouyu will have to finish playing with a plug-in like Zhou Zhen.
"Try to show weakness!"
Zhou Zhen coughed slightly, and continued to turn his gaze to the rehearsal on the stage.
Half an hour later, the rehearsal ended.
Shen Cong also came to the stage, and after chatting with Shen Cong for a few words, Zhou Zhen followed Shen Cong to eat and drink.
After all, this time Shen Cong invited Zhou Zhen to the headquarters as a guest at the press conference, not simply to be a guest and watch the press conference.
Eat and drink, deepen the relationship between the two families, and talk about business by the way.
Especially last month, after Shen Cong saw that Rouyu Company sent a new OLED screen sample, he already had the idea of a deeper cooperation with Rouyu Company.
After all, the screen of that sample is very good, and even in terms of the look and feel of the screen, there is not much difference between it and X7plus's Sansang screen.
The domestic OLED screen can achieve such an excellent level, which also makes Shen Cong and the senior management of the blue factory take a few glances at the high level of Rouyu Company.
The screen of Rouyu company is of good quality and low price, not only has the same quality as Sansang, but also has a certain advantage in terms of price, so it can naturally become the object of attraction in the eyes of the senior management of the blue factory.
And with this wine game, Zhou Zhen and Shen Cong also set up relevant cooperation, ready to be on the next Blue Factory X10. Continue to use the current OLED screen panel of Rouyu.
The blue factory intends to continue to order 5 million screens, but due to some new improvements in the overall quality of the screen this time, the price has also risen slightly to 3.5 billion yuan.
Although the price has risen slightly, these are within the acceptable range of the blue factory.
After all, the overall quality of the new generation of screens has indeed improved a lot compared to the blue factoryX9The screen used on it has indeed improved a lot.
The price increase is also a matter of course.
However, compared with the bold innovation of the rice company and the desire to adopt a full-screen design in the product, the blue factory now has no ambition to develop full-screen products.
Maybe I don't want to use a full-screen design on offline products.
After negotiating the cooperation of this order, Shen Cong also said that after this press conference, all the balance payments of the previous batch of screens will be paid to the accounts of Rouyu Company.
And will also send special personnel to Rouyu company to sign a cooperation agreement after the press conference.
A night's sleep!
On the morning of the next day, the product launch of the X9 series of Blue Factory officially began.
And Zhou Zhen also met Kim Jae-eun and Peng Yuyan.
The politeness that intersected with Peng Yuyan was smiling throughout the whole process, but Kim Jaeun, who was sitting on the side, showed a cold and unsmiling face.
However, Zhou Zhen could feel Kim Jae-eun's eyes glancing at him from time to time.
"Blue factory X9 series, as a pleasing product, this time we have used an extremely excellent domestic self-developed OLED screen on the ordinary version!"
"Its color display level, contrast, brightness and other mainstream products on the market are far ahead!"
With the convening of the press conference, Shen Cong finally talked about the screen of the product.
And this screen is said to be a relatively excellent screen in the industry.
Indeed, most mobile phones in the industry now use LCD screens.
Although the overall quality of the OLED screen of Rouyu Company is not as good as the current top international manufacturers, compared with the color and appearance, it still has certain advantages for these LCD screens.
After all, in this era, OLED screens have natural excellence in color reproduction and display.
"At the same time, we also invited the chairman of Rouyu Company, Zhou Zhen!"
"Let Mr. Zhou Zhen come and talk to us!"
With Shen Cong's introduction to the screen, he gradually turned the topic to Zhou Zhen on the stage.
And Zhou Zhen had already made preparations, and he had the opposite words with Shen Cong at the wine party last night, which could be regarded as well-prepared.
Under the applause from the audience, Zhou Zhen slowly stepped onto the stage.
"Who is this, the blue factory actually invited him to speak on stage?"
"The chairman of Rouyu Company, the name is quite bluffing! Rouyu's company is not as famous as Sansang, and even TCL and BOE can't compare, how can the chairman of this small company be invited to speak on stage? ”
"It's a nonsense, didn't Rouyu Company launch a full-screen concept and a lifting concept machine? It's still a bit of a reputation in the tech world! ”
"Isn't that just a concept? Which company have you seen use it, and besides, I haven't seen any company that has used the screen of Rouyu! ”
Although the popularity of the blue factory on the Internet is not as good as that of the rice company.
However, the press conference of each factory can also attract more than 100,000 people to watch it online.
And Zhou Zhen, who belongs to the "small workshop owner" in the eyes of everyone, took the stage, which also caused countless online netizens to complain wildly.
