Chapter 253 Bringing You A Historical Opportunity
For the pinnacle mobile phone project, Blue Star Electronics does not do everything.
For peripheral components of smartphones, such as data cables, chargers, headphones and other accessories, we directly seek supplier partners and also cooperate with foundries.
Only the most core technology will be in your own hands.
Such as operating system and CPU chip.
In the future, we will even use our own baseband chips, radio frequency chips, etc.
Lu Yi knows Lao Mi’s urinary properties very well.
It’s okay to make other people’s money, but if you want to make money from Lao Mi, there’s no way!
He didn't want Blue Star Electronics to be like the flower factory in his previous life, where he was choked to death by old Mika and had to sell some of his business to survive.
The spare tire plan has been in progress since the establishment of Blue Star Electronics.
In the future, the spare tire will be directly converted into a regular one!
Three days later.
After Lu Yi arranged the work related to the two companies, he went abroad with his troops.
This time the destination is also North America.
After a night's rest.
Lu Yi made an appointment with Wendell Weeks, CEO of Corning Incorporated.
After breakfast, Lu Yi led his troops to Corning's headquarters to meet with Weeks.
"Oh, my dear friend, I was very surprised when I received your call last night. Now I can't figure out why the famous son of the Internet would find an interview with the CEO of a glass manufacturer."
Wendell Weeks joked in the Corning reception room.
He was really surprised when he received the call last night. 540 Just as he said, he had no idea why Lu Shen was looking for him.
As a glass manufacturer himself, does Lu Yi want to order glass from him?
This is a bit outrageous!
"Haha, Mr. Weeks, in addition to being the CEO of Future Technology, I am also the CEO of Blue Star Electronics." Lu Yi said with a smile.
Wendell Weeks said: "I know that your Blue Star Electronics and Gaotong reached a cooperation agreement in the past few months, and all major media have reported it. h
Lu Yi nodded and continued: "Mr. Weeks, to be honest, our engineers at Blue Star Electronics have been looking for a glass manufacturer that can produce the most drop-resistant and hardest glass, so your company came into our sights. .”
Hearing Lu Yi say that the glass produced by his company is the hardest, Wendell Weeks said very proudly: "Haha, Mr. Lu, if you want to buy glass, you have found the right person."
"Although there are many glass manufacturers around the world, in the field of glass, Corning's glass is absolutely the best. No other company's glass is harder than the 'King Kong glass' produced by Corning."
"Because the 'King Kong Glass' produced by our company is special glass with bulletproof properties and is often used in helicopters, car windshields and prison windows."
Lu Yi flattered him and said, "Yes, the 'King Kong Glass' produced by your company is world-renowned.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Wendell Weeks laughed twice, and then asked: "So Mr. Lu, what do you want glass for?"
"Make mobile phone screen covers." Lu Yi said straightforwardly.
There's nothing to hide.
Although most mobile phone screen covers are now made of plastic, they are not without glass covers.
And there is no clue just from a screen glass cover, so there is no need to worry about core secrets being leaked.
"Our company has tested several types of glass, but none of them met the required standards."
"I heard that the 'Diamond Glass' produced by your company is anti-aging and scratch-resistant, so I came here specifically to establish cooperation with your company."
Lu Yi said with a smile.
Wendell Weeks looked a little embarrassed when he heard that Lu Yi was here for the 'King Kong Glass'.
Because 'Kingang glass was developed in the 1960s, but due to the lack of market, glass made of this material has long been spread.
Now Lu Yi wants ‘King Kong Glass’ by name, but they really can’t produce it.
This made him very embarrassed when he kept boasting about his own 'King Kong Glass' just now.
Although the production line can also be restarted, restarting it for the sake of Blue Star Electronics is not worth the gain.
Before Wendell Weeks could speak, Lu Yi continued: "Mr. Weeks, we very much hope to get your company's 'King Kong Glass', but we have a requirement, that is, the thickness of the glass can only be 1.3 mm... ………”
"Sorry, Mr. Lu, interrupt me!"
At this time, Wendell Weeks interrupted Lu Yi.
"I'm glad that Mr. Lu has taken a fancy to our company's 'King Kong Glass', but to be honest, this glass has long been discontinued due to lack of market. Moreover, the thinnest 'King Kong Glass' our company can produce is 4mm thick. (cccg) cannot reach the 1.3mm you require."
In this way, although Lu Yi will be lost as a customer.
But Wendell Weeks had a score in mind.
If the diamond glass production line is reopened for Blue Star Electronics, tens of millions of meters of gold will not be available, and manpower and material resources will need to be invested to reduce the thickness of the diamond glass to 1.3mm. This investment will be even greater.
The orders given to them by Blue Star Electronics probably cost less than tens of millions of dollars.
No matter how you calculate it, this is a loss-making business.
"Mr. Weeks, we really hope to cooperate with Corning and hope that you can restart the production line of 'King Kong Glass'."
"As for the thickness issue, I believe that with your company's technical background, it should not be a problem to reduce it to 1.3mm."
Lu Yi said.
Wendell Weeks smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lu, although I really want to become a partner with your company, restarting the production line and reducing the glass thickness to 1.3mm will require a lot of manpower and material resources."
"Mr. Weeks is worried about losing money?"
Wendell Weeks shrugged, his meaning obvious.
Lu Yi smiled and said: "I think Mr. Weeks, you don't have to worry about this at all, because our order volume is very large. The first order will not be a million pieces, and there will be more in the future. We can build a long-term strategic partnership.”
The first order was up to one million pieces?
More to come?
Long-term cooperation?
Wendell Weeks was a little dumbfounded.
When he thought about it, Blue Star Electronics had no technology, no foundation, no brand, and no market when making mobile phones. It was impossible to steal food from international mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson. Domestic development.
However, the vast majority of the domestic mobile phone market in Longguo is occupied by the three major manufacturers. How much share can Blue Star Electronics gain by entering?
An order of 20,000 to 300,000 pieces of glass could really cost them Corning Corporation.
As a result, Lu Yi started selling millions of pieces as soon as he opened his mouth!
He wanted to crack open Lu Yi's mind and see where Lu Yi got the confidence to think that Blue Star Electronics' mobile phones could sell millions of units or more!
Wendell Weeks asked: "Mr. Lu is so confident that the product can sell so well?"
Lu Yi nodded and said: "Of course!"
Although Wendell Weeks was very excited, he still had no choice but to say: "I'm sorry Mr. Lu, although this business makes me very excited, I must refuse it. Because we don't have the ability now, and our factory's main business is The cover glass material for LCD screens no longer produces diamond glass, so it will be difficult to restart the production line."
Lu Yi was a little surprised. He had said so, but he still refused?
"Mr. Weeks, your company has restarted the production line and invested manpower and material resources to reduce the glass thickness to 1.3mm. I believe that 10 to 20 million meters of gold should be enough."
"And our company's first order is for one million pieces, which is enough for your company not to lose money. Not to mention, we will add more orders in the future."
"Moreover, I can tell you with certainty that this time I not only brought a considerable order to Corning, but also brought a historical opportunity to your company!"
